|Topic Review (Newest First)
Use some DynaGlass short fiberglass strand filler to start with.
A good 80gt. sanding of the area your applying it to.
Use a cheese grater body file to conture the filler before it hardens.
Sand 80gt.to you get it looking the way you want.
A smooth layer of Evercoat Easy Sand finish putty.
Block out till straight.
A complete final skim coat of Easy sand. (See FAQ above on this.)
2K primer,block.
I have heard a lot of good reviews on the HF gun, but I have no personal experince... I bought the Titan 3 gun set and I think it has worked really well for the price! If you are only planning on a few paint jobs I think it is a good set up. I can't speak on how long they last as I have only had mine for a few months... For the price they are good hobbiest guns and give you a gun for primer, touch-up, and bc/cc, and they are NEW.
I'm no body pro, but for the spoiler I would say use the bolts that are already there and then fill the gaps with some fiberglass filler. Make sure you sand all the way down to the steel before using the filler to make sure it sticks. The fiberglass is a little tougher than the regular plastic filler. Then after you sand down the fiberglass you can fix the minor imperfections with plastic filler, then just sand, prime, and paint.
Maybe some pros will chime in...
Good luck!
New Here - Paint Questions...
Well I ran across this site while researching automotive painting and after poking around found this place has a ton of useful information. I will be doing alot of custom work on my car over the next few months and feel like doing the paint work myself. I have done small custom parts and used spray can paint with success in achieving a great finish (required alot of sanding/buffing)
For the bigger projects I plan on doing, i will definitely need a spray gun. After poking around this site i ran across a few options. I would like to get a lower priced gun to start with, and if needed upgrade later. I wanted to get comments on these two guns specifically:
I need to lay down primer, base, and clear so i was thinking the 3 gun kit may better suite my needs.
My second question is regarding body work. I have a spoiler that i want to "mold" into the trunk. What is the best way to do this? it bolts down, so should i just fill the gap with bondo and sand smooth? Should i use some type of adhesive (epoxy?) to permanently mount it?
Any suggestions would be great!

Photo on Canvas are the multiplication of a painting, photo, or other picture onto a bit of extended canvas material. The definitive picture is ordinarily more modest than the picture that winds up on the canvas. This sort of processing, expanding the definitive picture without losing its item or value, is reputed to be wide position printing or substantial organization printing.

great resource for new mobile developer
By hevyw8

About Me Developer

Comments about oreilly Learning Xamarin Studio:
'Learning Xamarin Studio' can be a great resource for the developer with little to no experience in mobile development and interest in the Xamarin platform. The book walks you through the 'Hello World' app but it is not a coding how-to. This is about all the other logistics that go into the mobile development lifecycle in Xamarin Studio. Topics include, Xamarin pricing, necessary resources, configuration, development tools, testing and deployment. This is for both iOS and Android.If you have experience in either iOS or Android, some of this will not doubt be review or just completely skipped over. But knowing the logistics of both platforms will certainly give you a leg up if you aim to try your hand at cross-platform development.All-in-All there is not a whole lot of information in this book that you couldn't get elsewhere. But having all of the info in one place and in the context of developing in Xamarin could make this book valuable to a developer new to Xamarin and/or mobile development.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

The Loyola Greyhounds have earned the top seed to the 2012 NCAA Tournament, their first No. 1 seed since 1999 and first first-round home game since 2000. The Greyhounds finished the season 14-1 and ranked No. 1 in the RPI, with a Top 5 win over Duke and Top 20 wins over Ohio State, Fairfield (2) and Denver (2).
Following Loyola are No. 2 Johns Hopkins, No. 3 Duke, No. 4 Notre Dame, No. 5 Virginia, No. 6 UMass, No. 7 Lehigh and No. 8 North Carolina.
(For more on the NCAA Tournament, download the full bracket here, check out instant reaction from the coaches here, read back through Mark Dixon's live chat, follow us on Twitter (@Inside_Lacrosse) and check us out on Facebook. Also be sure to check out the latest equipment from the NCAA teams and Weapon of Choices with the top players at our newest site: ILGear.com. The women's NCAA selections can be found at our ILWomen.com site. The DII bracket is here. DIII is here.)
The six at-large spots went to Notre Dame, Hopkins, North Carolina, Virginia, Duke, Maryland, Colgate, Denver and Princeton. The Tigers and Pioneers were seemingly the last teams in, bursting the bubbles of teams like Penn State, Fairfield, Cornell and Villanova.
It's important to note that the NCAA only seeds the top eight teams, dictating the rest of the first-round matchups partly due to geography and travel and partly to trying to avoid regular-season rematches.
Based on late bracket projections this weekend, Duke made a big surge up to No. 3, while UMass fell to No. 6 despite holding the No. 2 RPI after winning the CAA's AQ. Should the Minutemen advance past a red-hot Colgate team that comes off a regular-season finale win over Maryland, they'll have to face the winner of Duke and Syracuse. The Orange took advantage this weekend of a Big East Tournament win that was likely their only shot at NCAA Tournament inclusion.
Cornell's resume took a hit when the Big Red fell to Yale in the Ivy League Semifinals on Friday. The Elis handled Princeton to win the Ivy AQ on Sunday, but the Tigers still got in on the strength of a Top 10 RPI and Top 20 wins over Yale and Cornell.
Penn State probably has the biggest case for inclusion among those left out; the Nittany Lions have a Top 5 win over Notre Dame and Top 20 wins over Ohio State and Drexel. Their RPI was a bit lower than Princeton's, but their SOS was Top 10. The Irish likely had a shot at the No. 1 seed heading into the Big East Tournament, but their shocking upset at the hands of St. John's in the semis knocked them down to No. 4.
Syracuse-Duke is probably the most high-profile of the first-round matchups. The two teams met at the Konica Minolta Big City Classic at MetLife Stadium, and Duke emerged with a 12-10 win. ESPN thinks so as well since that game is one of two on ESPN; Virginia-Princeton is the Sunday ESPN game. All other games are on ESPNU.
1 Loyola (Sat. 5 p.m., ESPNU; Navy Quarterfinal bracket)
8 North Carolina (Saturday, 7:30, ESPNU; Navy Quarterfinal bracket)
4 Notre Dame (Sunday, 5:15, ESPNU; PPL Park Quarterfinal bracket)
5 Virginia (Sunday, 1, ESPN; PPL Park Quarterfinal bracket)
2 Johns Hopkins (Sunday, 3, ESPNU; Navy Quarterfinal bracket
Stony Brook
7 Lehigh (Sunday, 7:30, ESPNU; Navy Quarterfinal bracket)
3 Duke (Saturday, noon, ESPN; PPL Park Quarterfinal bracket)
6 UMass (Saturday, 2:30, ESPNU; PPL Park Quarterfinal bracket)

Pyle Home Theater Upgrades
Okay. Maybe it's a little presumptuous to call them upgrades. For you, they might be downgrades. Who knows? Well, you do. So, fine, you know, but we don't know! So we're just going to assume they're upgrades because Pyle products are pretty sweet.

I didn't include Datome because I have no idea what to expect from him. If I had to guess, he will fill the old Jon Barry role: Come in and immediately do a heat check. If he hits a couple, you leave him in there, if not...sit him down quickly before he kills you defensively.

|I used to coach two sports
I used to coach two sports every year. The first two years of my teaching career, I coached basketball and baseball. The next two years, I coached basketball and golf. It was A LOT but really enjoyable. The golf was a really nice break compared to the team sports (despite the fact that you technically play as a team...you know what I mean).
Basketball is a really long season compared to the fall and spring sports especially if you get into doing the holiday tournaments which completely kills your xmas if you have any traveling to do. In terms of coaching, I think basketball is one of the hardest sports to coach, although not as difficult as football. There are a lot of intricacies to the game that need to be taught. I am not sure what level you would be coaching but the higher the level, the more complex it is. Coaching JV or a Freshman team may be a good place to start. The kids move so much slower and a lot is done with player/skill development rather than running an team offense and defense.
I think where you may run into an issue is the offseason conditioning. I imagine there will be a bunch of overlap during the spring and summer. That was the main reason I switched from baseball to golf. Yes, I took the easy way out.

'"My grandparents will be there, they were up in Vancouver, but mainly it will be people I haven't seen at all," Miller said Friday. "It'll be good to see them after the game. I spent so much time with everybody in Vancouver, normally I don't get that much time to sit around and hang out during the season or around hockey. It'll be good just to see everyone I don't get to see for around nine months out of the year."'

Set in 1991, just three years before the release of Jeff Buckley's debut album {^Grace} and six years before his untimely death at age 30, director Dan Algrant's Greetings From Tim Buckley follows the troubled young musician as he prepares to participate in a tribute concert for his late father while at the same time struggling to emerge from under his father's colossal shadow. As the concert at St. Ann's Church approaches, rising musician Tim (Penn Badgley) wrestles with the anger of being abandoned by his dad (who later died of a drug overdose), and starts to fall for a Allie (Imogen Poots), a pretty intern who's helping to organize the performance. Meanwhile, as Tim grapples with the complex emotions of feeling like an outsider and a guest of honor at the same time, glimpses of his father's rise and fall puts the young musician's life into a unique perspective. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Franklin Hires Patrick Bowlin as Assistant Volleyball Coach
By: Ryan Hartwig (@RyanHartwig)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - New Green Bay volleyball head coach Michaela Franklin announced on Tuesday the hiring of Patrick Bowlin as the team's assistant coach, beginning with the 2013 season. Bowlin spent the 2012 campaign as a volunteer assistant coach at Marquette, where Franklin worked as an assistant for the last four seasons prior to being hired at Green Bay on Jan. 8.
"I am thrilled to have Patrick join the Green Bay volleyball family," Franklin said. "Patrick brings a positive energy to the program along with a tireless work ethic. His passion, determination and commitment to success are the reasons why he is the perfect fit for our program."
Bowlin and Franklin helped guide Marquette to a 27-7 overall record and an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament in 2012. The Golden Eagles went 13-2 in conference play, finishing second in the BIG EAST. Bowlin's primary responsibilities included on-court training, leading the scout team during practice, video exchange and opponent video breakdown. He also assisted with recruiting efforts, stat organization and running Marquette Volleyball Camps.
"Working with Patrick at Marquette was a great pleasure, and I am honored to be able to continue to work with someone with such high character," Franklin said. "His loyalty and kindness will make him a fantastic recruiter right away. He has done an amazing job of building relationships within the volleyball community in his home state of Minnesota, and I know he will continue to do the same in Wisconsin."
Prior to his time at Marquette, Bowlin worked as a student assistant coach at the College of Saint Benedict in Minnesota during the 2011 season. Saint Benedict went 18-13, including an 8-3 record in the Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (MIAC), and earned a bid to the NCAA Division III Tournament.
Bowlin also has coaching experience at the club level, serving as the head coach for the Saint Benedict women's club team in 2010-11. In addition, he has worked as a coach at a variety of camps throughout Minnesota, Iowa and Wisconsin.
A Winona, Minn., native, Bowlin graduated from St. John's University in Minnesota in 2012 with a bachelor's degree in elementary education. He was also a two-year starter at outside hitter and setter on the St. John's men's club volleyball team from 2010-12.
Franklin took the reins of the Green Bay volleyball program from Debbie Kirch, who resigned from the position in November after 16 seasons to take an Assistant AD role in the athletics department. Franklin and Bowlin will welcome back senior setter Leah Poel (Jenison, Mich.), a group of four senior hitters that combined for 952 kills in 2012 and three other letterwinners.

Midwestern Grilled Bratwurst Sandwiches with Caraway Sauerkraut
Ask a Wisconsin purist -- tradition demands that these sausages be served on a toasted hard roll (not a hot dog bun), with butter, spicy mustard (not ketchup), sweet pickles (not lettuce), and sauerkraut.
- Prep:
- Total Time:
- Servings: 4
Source: Everyday Food, July/August 2007
- Oil, for grates
- 1 tablespoon butter, plus more for rolls (optional)
- 1 small red onion, halved and thinly sliced
- 1 can (14 ounces) sauerkraut, well drained
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon caraway seeds
- Coarse salt and ground pepper
- 4 precooked bratwurst sausages (3 ounces each)
- 4 hard rolls, halved horizontally
- 1/4 cup spicy brown mustard
- 1/2 cup bread-and-butter pickles
- Potato chips, for serving
Heat grill to medium-low; lightly oil grates. In a medium saucepan, heat butter over medium. Add onion, and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, 4 to 5 minutes. Add sauerkraut, sugar, caraway seeds, and 1/2 cup water; season with salt and pepper. Simmer until sauerkraut is heated through, 3 to 5 minutes; set aside.
Grill sausages, turning frequently, until golden brown and warmed through, 10 to 12 minutes.
Grill rolls, cut side down, until warm, 1 to 2 minutes. Spread lightly with butter, if using, and mustard. Halve sausages lengthwise; fill each roll with 2 halves and pickles. Serve with sauerkraut and potato chips.

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. - The #14 North Carolina women's soccer team exploded for seven second-half goals Friday night as it defeated Illinois 9-2 in the NCAA Tournament second round before 1,003 fans at Fetzer Field. Seven different Tar Heel players scored goals and 10 different Tar Heels recorded assists in UNC's biggest offensive output since the 2002 season.
With the victory UNC improved to 12-5-2 on the campaign. Illinois, coached by UNC legend Janet Rayfield, Class of 1982, saw its season come to an end at 10-9-4. The Tar Heels advance to play Big 12 Conference champion Baylor in the NCAA third round Sunday at Fetzer Field at 1 p.m. #9 Baylor (19-1-4) overcame Georgetown 2-1 in overtime in the first game of the doubleheader. The Bears scored with less than two minutes remaining in regulation and then got the game winner against the Hoyas less than three minutes into overtime.
Carolina's nine-goal output was the most in a game since the Tar Heels defeated Guilford 9-0 on September 6, 2002. It is the most against an NCAA Division I team for UNC since September 21, 2001 when the Tar Heels beat Georgia 9-0. The nine goals equal the most by UNC in an NCAA Tournament game. UNC most recently scored nine in an NCAA game on November 21, 1996 when it beat Florida 9-0 in the NCAA quarterfinals at Fetzer Field. The nine goals were one short of the NCAA record for goals scored in a game which is 10 by Texas A&M against Texas State in 2004.
Senior Alyssa Rich led the Tar Heels off the bench with two goals and an assist. Kealia Ohai, Ranee Premji, Kelly McFarlane and Katie Bowen each had a goal and an assist. Summer Green added two assists. Kat Nigro scored her first career goal while both Paige Nielsen and Marina Nesic had their first career assists.
The game did not appear as though it would start like a rout. In fact, just 1:29 into action the Fighting Illini seized a 1-0 lead as Nicole Breeze took a through ball from Vanessa DeBernardo and finished from 15 yards past Adelaide Gay for a 1-0 Illinois lead. It marked the third time in the last four games the Tar Heels have surrendered a goal in the opening 10 minutes of the game.
That goal seemed to awaken Carolina, however. Just over five minutes later, Summer Green took a shot from the top of the box that Illini goalkeeper Steph Panozzo was able to knock down. But she was unable to control the ball and Kelly McFarlane pounced on the rebound to tie the game at 1-1 at 6:42. It was McFarlane's first goal of the season as she took advantage of her first starting assignment since September 13 against Maryland to make an early difference in the match.
Neither team scored again until the 36:13 mark when a goal by Crystal Dunn sparked a five-goal scoring run over a period of 23:29. Alyssa Rich sent a through ball into the box and Dunn ran on to it and won the 50-50 ball battle with the goalie, finishing deftly inside the near post at 36:13. It was Dunn's second goal of the season and her second in two games.
The Tar Heels came out of halftime on fire, notching two goals in the first five minutes of the half and four in the first 15 minutes of the second period. At 47:23, UNC's lead went to 3-1 on an own goal by the Illinois defense. Dunn made a cross from the right side to the onrushing Ohai. Illinois defender Amy Feher got to the ball first and redirected Dunn's cross into the lower left side of the goal. Just over two minutes later Carolina made it 4-1 as Katie Bowen found herself unmarked on the back post, taking a pass from Ohai from the right side to finish from the three-yard line. Bowen's second goal of the season, assisted by Ohai and Summer Green, made it 4-1 at 49:56.
The lead grew to four goals at 54:10 as Ohai finished off a breakaway off an assist by Ranee Premji. Then at 59:42, Premji scored a goal of her own from 10 yards out after taking passes from Maria Lubrano and Kelly McFarlane.
The Illini countered with a score of their own at 62:50 as Niki Read notched her fourth goal of the year into the left side of the net. Megan Pawloski had the assist on the goal after serving a ball from the left wing.
Carolina had three more goals left in it as the margin continued to grow. Alyssa Rich scored her third goal of the season, taking a centering pass from Meg Morris to finish inside the far post at 75:02. At 80:31, freshman Kat Nigro scored the first goal of her UNC career as her shot from the top of the box was struck with pace, going top shelf into the upper left 90. Graduate student Marina Nesic assisted on the goal, the first point of her career. UNC finished off the scoring at 87:04 as Rich scored her second goal of the game, finishing off a sequence that began with a corner kick from the right side. Both freshmen Paige Nielsen and Katie Bowen assisted on the goal.Overall, the Tar Heels outshot the Fighting Illini 26-5. Steph Panozzo went the whole way in goal for Illinois and she made seven saves while allowing nine goals. Three goalkeepers split time for UNC - Adelaide Gay (52:45, 1ga, 0svs), Bryane Heaberlin (22:17, 1ga, 1sv) and Hannah Daly (14:58, 0ga, 0svs). UNC finished with 2-1 edge in corner kicks. The game was clean throughout with the two teams combining for only seven fouls.

Fox & Friends celebrates Earth Day by pushing "Climategate" falsehoods
Research ››› ››› DIANNA PARKER
After wishing viewers a "Happy Earth Day," Fox & Friends hosts devoted a segment to pushing falsehoods about "Climategate" and alleging that other news networks "ignored" the story. However, despite falsely claiming the emails show that climate scientists "manipulated data," Fox & Friends did not report that several official inquiries into the scientists' conduct found that they did not manipulate data.
Fox & Friends: Emails show scientists "held back" and "manipulate[d] data," other networks "ignored" story
Carlson: "Happy Earth Day, America. Today we're taking a look back at how the mainstream media" ignored that "scientists held back data that discredits theories on global warming." Co-host Gretchen Carlson opened the segment by saying, "Happy Earth Day, America. Today, we're taking a look back at how the mainstream media covered and didn't cover 'Climategate.' That was the release of all those emails exposing that scientists held back data that discredits theories on global warming."
Bozell: There was a "campaign" to "destroy evidence," "manipulate" data, and "bully journalists." After co-host Brian Kilmeade asked Media Research Center's Brent Bozell what his "take" was on "some of the problems" with global warming this year, Bozell said that apparently stolen emails from the University of East Anglia's Climatic Research Unit (CRU) show that "there were campaigns to manipulate the data in their favor. There was a campaign to destroy evidence that would go against them -- to manipulate that evidence. And there's a campaign to bully journalists to not listen to critics of this." Carlson claimed the allegations are "real" because "big chief people resigned as a result."
Kilmeade: "Of course, that's what trick means." After airing a clip of Penn State scientist Michael Mann explaining that a scientist's use of the word "trick" in one email did not indicate deception, but rather a "a clever approach to the problem," Kilmeade said, "Of course, that's what trick means." Bozell responded: "What this fellow Mann was saying, and the evidence shows it, that this fellow Mann was saying was simply untrue. It wasn't about tricks. This was a campaign to manipulate scientific data."
Kilmeade, Bozell accuse ABC News, NBC News of "dismiss[ing]" and "ignor[ing]" story. During the segment, Carlson asked, "How was it covered in the mainstream media?" and aired clips from NBC News and ABC News for discussion. Bozell criticized the ABC News segment by saying, "They simply dismiss [the emails] at the end by saying it's settled science. And, oh, by the way, it took ABC 16 days before they did their first story on this." Kilmeade responded, "Because it wasn't in the direction they wanted it." Bozell said of the NBC clip, which featured Mann:
BOZELL: Well, again, this one is a little bit better. It gives both sides of the story, except one side is dishonest. What this fellow Mann was saying, and the evidence shows it, that this fellow Mann was saying was simply untrue. It wasn't about tricks. This was a campaign to manipulate scientific data. This is what the critics of global warming have been saying all along. And guess what? They're right. But it goes against the narrative, so it's been absolutely ignored by the networks.
Inquiries found "no evidence" that scientists manipulated data, but Fox & Friends ignored them
Associated Press: U.K. investigation shows "no evidence" that CRU scientists "had tampered with data." The Associated Press reported on March 31 that "[t]he House of Commons' Science and Technology Committee said Wednesday that they'd seen no evidence to support charges that the University of East Anglia's Climatic Research Unit or its director, Phil Jones, had tampered with data or perverted the peer review process to exaggerate the threat of global warming -- two of the most serious criticisms levied against the climatologist and his colleagues." The House of Commons issued the report on March 31.
Penn State: "[N]o credible evidence" that Mann "engaged in, or participated in ... any actions with an intent to suppress or to falsify data." In February, Penn State released the results of its inquiry, led by a panel of department heads and scientists, into whether Mann -- based on alleged evidence in the emails -- manipulated data or destroyed records. Among its conclusions was that there was "no credible evidence" that Mann had "ever engaged in, or participated in, directly or indirectly, any actions with an intent to suppress or to falsify data" and "no credible evidence" that Mann had "engaged in, or participated in, directly or indirectly, any actions with intent to delete, conceal or otherwise destroy emails, information and/or data."
Independent panel: "no evidence of any deliberate scientific malpractice." An independent panel in the U.K., led by former industry scientist Lord Oxburgh, released a report in April finding "no evidence of any deliberate scientific malpractice in any of the work of the Climatic Research Unit and had it been there we believe that it is likely that we would have detected it. Rather we found a small group of dedicated if slightly disorganised researchers who were ill-prepared for being the focus of public attention." The (London) Guardian reported that Oxburgh "said, many of the criticisms and assertions of scientific misconduct were likely made by people 'who do not like the implications of some the conclusions' reached by the climate experts," and quoted him saying, 'Whatever was said in the emails, the basic science seems to have been done fairly and properly.' "
Scientists say the word "trick" does not mean distortion
Scientists have stated that the word "trick" is being misinterpreted. Contrary to Kilmeade's and Bozell's suggestion that the word "trick," which Jones used in one of his emails, shows that he manipulated scientific data, scientists have stated that it's a commonly used expression in the scientific community and does not indicate distortion. For example, the Penn State investigation that exonerated Mann concluded that the scientists "were not falsifying data; they were trying to construct an understandable graph for those who were not experts in the field. The so-called 'trick' was nothing more than a statistical method used to bring two or more different kinds of data sets together in a legitimate fashion by a technique that has been reviewed by a broad array of peers in the field." From a footnote in the report:
The word trick as used in this email has stirred some suspicion. However, trick is often used in context to describe a mathematical insight that solves the problem. For example, see in a classic text on quantum mechanics by David Parks: "The foregoing explanation of the velocity paradox involves no new assumptions; the basic trick, the representation of a modulated wave as the superposition of two (or more) unmodulated ones, has already been used to explain interference phenomena..." [italics in original]
Fox & Friends has repeatedly distorted emails in reports
Fox & Friends has repeatedly attacked scientists over the emails and advanced false claims and distortions that the emails "prove" scientists "doctored" or "fudged" climate data, despite scientists' repeated statements that the emails do not undermine global warming.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
I went with the Miller method. It sounded logical and correct. I have a 351w with Brodix KC 195 17* heads and Scorpion 1.6 rockers, 5/16 valve stems. When I put the stock length push rods in I had a centered pattern about .125 wide. After I increased the push rods maybe .400 ( that I can remember) I narrowed the pattern to .065 and the contact point went out to the outboard side of the valve stem about .060 from running off the end. The push rod side angle almost mirrored the valve tip side. I also had to buy longer rocker studs with a longer shank to accommodate this setup ( They were chevy SB). I was really happy with this and everything works really well.
What would need to happen to fix the industry, even if the rockers had a standard geometery, the relationship of the rocker arm stud angles to the valve angles are all over the map on heads. There is 6* between a 23 * head and my 17* heads, I can't imagine how far outboard the witness mark would have moved with a head with alot more angle.
Anyway, I'm convinced that the miller method is the way to go.
BTW, it appears from a look at Miller's website (MID-LIFT.COM ENTRY PAGE) that the older PA series mid-lift rockers are available at $342/set. There's also a "G-tool" for $208. Online instructions are visible for both. Pretty interesting!
I also read somewhere that as this concept has been around for a long time and in fact was endorsed by Chevy racing some time back, GM since decided upon the "66% rule" (mid-lift would be the 50% rule by analogy) to minimize wear and tear at high spring loads during the last phases of valve opening. Don't know much about that.
|Wow, you'd think somebody would jump on that, but I guess that would be admitting you made a mistake. So goes industry in any field.
Different brands of rocker arms...
I've tried several different roller rocker arms with the mid-lift method and there was a considerable difference. The first try was the steel Comp rockers- If I got the correct mid lift point on the valve end, I was way out on the pushrod side. If I corrected the pushrod side to the 90 degree mid lift position the valve end was way off. My conclusion was that the rocker did not have the correct angle between the pushrod end and the valve end (big block chev). I then tried a set of Jim Miller's rockers I was lucky enough to find. His rockers were correct on both ends, I was able to get 90 degrees at mid lift on both the valve end and the pushrod end! I did need to go way longer on both intake and exhaust pushrods, one more than the other. From memory I think it was around .200" longer, but every engine will vary. My point being that not all rockers are correctly manufactured, so it does pay to try another brand or style if you are not getting the results that Miller describes in his articles. Also, I had to install longer rocker arm studs to provide enough threads for the polylocks once I installed the longer pushrods. Miller explains in his article how roller rockers were incorrectly designed originally, and many have not been changed to this day. Too bad Miller rockers are not easy to come by, I understand that he only now offers a very high end "Pro" rocker on a special order basis (if at all)....
I know this is old stuff, and I didn't read every page so pardon me if I'm reposting known info, but this article in Circle Track is at variance with the well-known Comp Cams page.
Rocker Arm & Valve Train Geometry - Circle Track Magazine
It references both Miller and Smokey Yunick, and has some great drawings which show why a narrow roller track means more valve lift than a wide track.
I also emailed Comp on their diagram last year sometime, and never got a reply.
All this having been said, I can't imagine anybody who's, e.g., changing rocker arms, pulling the heads to change valve height (guess lash caps might work if you're lucky) just to get an extra .005 lift on a street motor. But the philosophy of a short roller track across the valve tip is correct, if real-world balanced against not having the pattern too far off-center. Note that the shorter the track, the closer you get to the ideal of having the exhaust-side limit of the roller track occur at mid-lift (not at full lift as Comp shows). Dead-centering really isn't necessary, nor IMO is having the lifter fully primed for checking unless you're racing and want every last .001 at any cost. Else, it's perfection versus the law of diminishing returns here.
FWIW different brands of rocker arms will often have different patterns across the valve tip even w/the same length p-rod. For "Smokey" fans, he talks about this in his Power Secrets book. Said basically if you didn't see what you wanted after adjusting the p-rod length on one type rocker, change the brand and see what the results w/them were.
Now that's not going to be an option for most guys, but it does show that there can be a difference in designs between the various makes.
Quote: AP72 "Exessive scrub will kill your guides."
This is where I'm understanding it now. I am better off being off center and pushing straight on the axis of the valve stem, or close to it, then to have +.100 scrub on the center.
I'll have to order longer push rods than I expected.
I have 17* KC Brodix heads and Scorpion 1.6 rockers with a 8mm valve tip. I tried the Mid Lift method. As I increased the pushrod length toward proper Mid lift dimensions the roller tip moved further outboard on the valve tip. When I arrived at the proper dimensions my sweep decreased but I was at the outboard 1/3 of the valve. This did not look good in my opinion. when I used the middle valve tip method the pushrod was much shorter, sat better on the stud shank was dead center on the valve but I'll admit had a larger sweep.
I believe the problem is the relationship between the stud axis and the valve stem axis (or the length between the roller tip centerline and the fulcrum centerline). If I had either of these distances changed, the former increased or the latter decreased, I would be able to make Mid Lift work.
I also checked my lift at the valve, and I showed full movement.
For my application of .550 lift hydraulic flat tappet, I should be good. I'll let you know how it wears over time.
Here is what happened to me using a dissasembled/cleaned of oil/reassembled/and cup travel measured stock lifter, and the running valve springs.
With the lifter bottomed out and all clearance removed, I started with the roller tip contact patch well on the inboard side of the stem, approximate to where CompCams says to put it. Upon rotating through two complete crank cycles measured max lift was nowhere near the cams measured .328 x 1.6 , but closer to .515. Each time I extended the pushrod length and recycled the crank, the lift increased and the roller tips location moved outward. I finally arrived at .525 lift and found the 90* locations right where Miller says they should be. I am however uncomfortable with where the roller tip ended up, wich leaves the witness marks outboard at approx .060 from the stems edge, and not much stud threads for the lock nuts. Now I only have one piston/one pushrod in right now so I doubt my needle torque wrench will show small ft.lb differences, but I could definitely "feel" the crank requiring less effort to turn this method vs. old method.
Now I'm still trying to figure out the lesser of two evils, pushrod to valvestem parrallelism, or roller tip to valvestem equidistance. Feel free to laugh at my artistic skills!
I would question why the engine ran better on the dyno w/o a vacuum advance- especially at peak, where the vac. adv. is supposed to be out of the picture.
Vacuum Advance Eliminator, Lock-Out Plate
My engine chassis dynoed better with out vac advance hooked, so I decided to run with out for now. I installed the vac advance eliminator that came with the MSD dizzy. Afterward just for kicks I put the timing light on it. It use to be set 22 static with 14 mech. all in 36. Is it normal for the eliminator to change the timing cause now I have 32 static and 40 something at all in at 2500 or so. I know in order to set the elminator in you have to move the rod hooked to the reluctor to set it down in place but i didn't think about it advancing the timing. Does this sound right?
of coarse not. The mid lift theroy is based on a 180* line drawn the folcrum center throught the roller tip center. Thats the way i set mine up and it works perfectly. i have the least amount of movement across the stem. my witness marks are .030 wide. Further more, at mid lift my pushrod is at 90* to the rocker as well.(are yours). Im as efficient as i can possibly be.

AMES, Iowa – Grafting tomatoes is centuries old and it has come to the forefront in the past decade for several reasons. Grafting can be used successfully to manage soil borne diseases and improve yields in both hybrid and heirloom tomatoes. Growers also are interested in learning about grafting tomatoes for yield improvement and disease management.
Iowa State University Extension and Outreach will conduct a tomato grafting and pest management workshop on Tuesday, March 12, at Reiman Gardens in Ames. Presenters at the workshop are Ajay Nair, extension horticulturist, and Laura Jesse and Erika Saalau-Rojas, pathologists with the Iowa State Plant and Insect Diagnostic Lab. The workshop will begin with a 9:30 a.m. registration and conclude at 2:30 p.m. Nair's grafting presentation starts at 10 a.m. The workshop is co-sponsored by The Leopold Center for Sustainable Agriculture and Practical Farmers of Iowa.
Workshop participants will learn about proper techniques of grafting and handling of grafted plants, and how to manage insect pests and diseases in tomato plantings. Live samples will be available to learn how to identify pests and disease, and their symptoms. Master gardeners, home gardeners and commercial vegetable growers will find this hands-on grafting and pest management experience beneficial.
To register go to http://tomatografting.eventbrite.com. Registration is $35 per person. Register by March 10 as seats are limited. For more information on the event please contact Dr. Ajay Nair at email@example.com or 515-294-7080.

I know there was a thread on this somewhere done the search but still I cant find it anywhere so....
Has anyone bought one of these
and are they any good or should I wait for a radioshack amp.
I know there was a thread on this somewhere done the search but still I cant find it anywhere so....
Has anyone bought one of these
and are they any good or should I wait for a radioshack amp.
I do believe it may have been TK409 who had posted a review about this particular amp recently, but I can't seem to find the thead for it either.. I do remember that he stated it was capable of projecting your voice to be quite <font color="#00FF00">LOUD, when the volume control is turned up all the way. Perhaps, he'll chime in on this subject again.., or if you can wait about 5 more days, maybe I can tell you first-hand about it, when mine should finally be arriving at my mailbox!
I bought one awhile back and did a review on it. It is a great amp. It is nice and loud. THe casing is a bit bit, but could be dissasembled and rearanged to be smaller. If you order one, tell them Rimshot sent you.
I found this for $42 at http://store.xtremegadget.com/nextp6powaam.html is that a good price? If so, I'll order one and tell you guys all about it
I got that one for 2 reasons. It has the same exact dimensions as the radio shack voice amp, and it sounds just as good, plus you can remove the whole back and duct tape it and get another .4 inches
Yes, I got one and it's great. Fits into your thigh or pouch pocket. Volume is super LOUD when turned up all the way - awesome. Here it is compared in size to The Radio Shack amp.
As a UK based alternative, get down to your local Maplin's shop and check out the "Yoga personal voice amp".
Same sort of idea as those, but already in the UK, so no shipping. Cost is £29.99 if I recall correctly.
I had one (before I got my rom FX - which rocks like a viking, BTW) and it was pretty good for the price. You can take it to bits and you're left with 2.5" square PCB and a speaker which'll fit pretty much anywhere.
If you're stuck finding one, or don't have a Maplins local, give me a shout ny mail or PM and I'll happily get one from the Bristol branch and either send it up or bring it to November's Mem (assuming you're going - which you should because it's gonna be a biggie).
Scratch that last post, mate. I just checked and they are discontinued on the website.
I'm happy to check in the bristol store to see if they have any old stock lying around.
Cheers Si,
Got myself a newton amp off ebay last week (£28.00 shipped) and as TK409 said this thing is LOUD with very little distortion even at the top end.
Now, have any of you Newton amp owners taken it to bits yet? i'm not too hot on electronics and dont wanna mess it up when i pull it apart by not knowing what i'm getting into!
any tips would be great.
yep Si I will be at Mem in Nov, if i'm accepted by the UK Garrison I may come as helper (already a few Boba's going ) but whatever, see you there, looking forward to seeing your Fett in person.

Arsène Wenger has hailed the "massive mental strength" of Olympic gold double winner Mo Farah.
The Arsenal-supporting long-distance runner made British history with victories in both the 5,000m and 10,000m races at this summer's London Games.
And Wenger, who welcomed Farah to London Colney last season, was a keen spectator as the 29-year-old defied the odds.
"I was scared for him in the first race, especially in the 10,000m," Wenger told Arsenal Player. "In the second race, the 5,000m, he looked comfortable and never really in trouble tactically.
"But in the first race it is a massive fight to get out there because there are so many runners. I was scared for him a long time that he could not get out. The Ethiopians and Kenyans run together and he was on his own.
"So to win in those kind of circumstances is incredible. I would like to congratulate them all [the Arsenal-supporting medallists] because they made Arsenal proud. They are fantastic athletes and we have a big respect for them.
"To turn up on the day and produce a performance that is expected - that takes massive mental strength."

Theo Walcott need not worry about his World Cup place, according to Arsène Wenger.
The 20-year-old has managed just 54 minutes of competitive action this term after suffering a back injury during his only pre-season outing at Valencia on August 8. Walcott came off the bench to score on his return against Blackburn before the international break but hobbled off during the first half of Saturday's 3-1 win over Birmingham following a heavy challenge from Liam Ridgewell.
Walcott has been ruled out for three to four weeks with knee ligament damage and could miss England's friendly with Brazil on November 14 as well as a number of domestic games. Aaron Lennon and Shaun Wright-Phillips have staked their claim for an England place in the Arsenal man's absence but Wenger is convinced that Walcott will be on the plane to South Africa next summer.
"I believe Theo is worried about the World Cup certainly, but I don't think there's any reason to worry now," said Wenger. "He will be in the squad. He will be fit. It's October and he has an injury of two to three weeks. I say four to be covered."
Walcott is barely into his 20s but has already endured plenty of bad luck on the injury front. He spent four months on the sidelines last season after dislocating his shoulder and has now appeared in just 19 of Arsenal's last 53 games in all competitions.
It's a statistic which concerns Wenger but he does not believe Walcott is injury prone - or targeted by Premier League defenders.
"No I don't think he is fragile, not really. I have not completely made my mind up," said the Frenchman.
"He's had two shoulder surgeries that were a genetical weakness, from the family. From the rest, I don't believe he is injury prone. Don't forget usually it is the striker who gets hit and the defender who hits. Most of the time the strikers are more injury prone because of the way the game is played. The quicker they are the more they get kicked and at a higher pace.
"I wouldn't say that he is injury prone [based] on that incident [with Ridgewell]. He is the type of player who controls the ball on the first touch. That's the biggest problem for the strikers, when they are injured will they continue to play like they did?
"I don't want to believe that [he is singled out for treatment]. But of course I know how the game is in England. Eduardo got hit and injured on the first tackle."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

If you like the LCP because of the size and weight, then you should like the Kel-tec 3AT even more as it is smaller and lighter.
I only need a light weapon for pocket carry. I carry a S & W 340PD. At 12 ounces it is light enough for pocket carry, and in the year or so that I've owned it, no one has ever noticed it in my pocket. And it carries grown up caliber ammo (.38+P and .357). And it is more reliable.

Get Ready for the Rapture
I saw this van on my drive home from work today. The van has lately been located at the corner of Avenue H and Division Street in Lancaster, CA. I wonder what the person in the van is going to do on May 22nd. Did the person sell all of their worldly goods and quit their job?

They are going to be judged on May 22 and I am sure they think they will get to talk to God. I betcha if what they have put on the sign happens, they will be a small puddle of goo.

I'll tell you what they won't do...renounce their belief in their silly god.

A wingnut preacher named Harold Camping has proclaimed May 21 as the date--the hick over on Division must have heard the news.
When Camping's proven wrong on May 22 shouldn't he be held criminally liable, for inciting a nationwide rapture-riot? Or at least 5150'd, along with those who believed him.

I bet that most of the idiots that are following Harold Camping are unaware of his many failed end of the world prediction in the 1990's.

Actually, I think they have sold off their worldly goods. If they aren't raptured on May 21, they intend to stick it out as best they can, survivalist-style, through the Tribulation until the Apocalypse, which will happen at some point in October.
One suspects that, one by one, they'll be forced to drop out of the world view and start looking for jobs in about mid-June.

I wonder what leads a person to totally follow someone like Camping. At what point does reality intrude upon their fantasy? After May 21st comes and goes without a Rapture and the world goes about its business without a Tribulation occurring, what then?

readers of UU are probably familiar with the so-called "Law of the Excluded Middle"--
Per the LOTEM, either 5/21/11 will be the onset of the Time of Trials and Tribulations, or.... it won't.
In the highly unlikely event it is the Time of T & T--there's a big partay in Helltown, y'all.
In the highly likely event it isn't the Time of T & T, then it's time for Camping, his followers, and their ilk to STFU permamently. Like per a "No rapture prophecies" Act---(that also would put a dent in the LDS's plans for..the non-LDS)

Sabres' sale boat still at dock
Katzman joining Bulldogs
'Katzman's legacy with the Sabres includes increasing the team's Canadian percentage of its ticket sales to 18 per cent from 10; the increased involvement of the Sabres in the community; the advent of the six-person Canadian sales office in St. Catharines; and the innovative affiliation agreement between the Sabres and the St. Catharines Minor Hockey Association.'
Amerks ask for patience
'In addressing delving, wide-ranging questions from young fans and long-time season ticket holders, Donner and Gage said patience is essential during the Buffalo Sabres' pending ownership transfer. With the NHL controlling operations in Buffalo, the Sabres couldn't sign a player with the stature of 1998-99 AHL scoring champion Domenic Pittis to play primarily for the Amerks.'
Bulldogs go Sabre hunting
'The director of Canadian sales and marketing for the Buffalo Sabres is the new president of the Hamilton Bulldogs.'
Miller says timing was right
'"This is a stepping stone to his dream of playing in the NHL. He was ready to go after his sophomore year. He has to face better shots and better players."'
All-American goaltender Miller leaving Michigan State
'The Sabres and Miller talked about signing a contract most of the summer. They struck a deal just before fall classes started at Michigan State. "They had to get their (financial) affairs in order and I had to make sure this was the right thing to do," said Miller, who decided Friday to leave school.'
Goalie Miller says bye to MSU, hello to Buffalo
'Miller held a farewell news conference Tuesday at Munn Arena, a day after he finalized a hard decision to relinquish his senior season by signing a two-year contract. "They were both very appealing," Miller said of his options. "Another year with the boys and make a run for the title, that would have been great. I waited it out, but it came to a point where I had to make a decision for my career."'
The Last Word
It is always this way in Buffalo, always a fresh start from scratch. Always dire straits. Always a plea for more support.
Tallinder's time?
'That means that Tallinder will battle the other six for a spot on the team. Of the six, the two that seem to be on the bubble would be Woolley and Campbell. There will be several other rookie defensemen getting their shot as well.'
Latest Trade Talks Center on Gratton
'The Mighty Ducks are talking with the Buffalo Sabres about acquiring center Chris Gratton.'
Buffalo Sabres preview
Will the new owner, the league and the fans drive new life into the team? It is a bet worth taking; the real gamble is whether the product on the ice will warrant the 11th-hour efforts on this one-time Cinderella.
Buffalo Sabres Sign Michigan State Goaltender Ryan Miller
'"I believe that Ryan is the best goaltender to ever play college hockey."'
Sabres sign MSU goalie, ending college career
'Will Michigan State goaltender Ryan Miller someday make Buffalo Sabres fans forget about Dominik Hasek?'
Sabres beckon MSU's Miller
'"I totally expected from the time I took the job that he wouldn't be back," Comley said.'
As Comley anticipated, MSU goalie Miller signs with Sabres
'"I think very much it was a dollar-and-cents issue," Comley said. "But it was a no-brainer. They had to sign him."'

This Model 29 was returned to the factory several years ago and while there I had this 8 3/8" full lug barrel installed.
The gun shot like a .30-30 out to about 200 yards but that barrel was just too much to lug around, so had it cut back to 6" by Memphis gunsmith Bob Mason:
This gun had just over 15,000 rounds fired through it when I sold it this year. For whatever its worth, I got $550.00 for the gun, which I thought was a fair price.
