Questions about my 89' 350 TBI
You guys have already posted tons of good information in this thread and others. Thanks for taking the time to explain everything so clearly.
I have an 89' 3/4 4WD Truck with 3.73 gears and an NV4500 transmission. I want to help out my engine a bit without tearing into it too deep. It only has 50,000 miles on it since the new GM longblock in 97'.
I am thinking, based on all the info you have posted that I may go ahead and install the 670 Holley two barrel TBI, continue to use the stock heads and cam but install the 1.6 ratio rockers and add dual exhaust. Do I need headers for this pretty basic engine and will I need a performance chip? The Camshaft change is rather tempting as it sounds like you get alot for a little there. I don't really have the budget to teardown and replace heads right now. Going for better fuel economy, and hopefully better torque on the low end. I would like to eventually do the 383 stroker rebuild and want to be able to reuse the TBI stuff I buy now when I get there.
The down side of TBI, as has been pointed out, is fuel capacity rather than air. Even the 500 CFMish unit stock to 305s and 350s has more air capacity than it can fuel. This can be changed with larger injectors but this quickly gets into playing with the system pressure and that heads you at a new chip. Jacking up the system pressure is a quick and dirty method of delivering more fuel but it is indiscriminate to the engine's needs, rather than correct mixtures you get rich mixtures whether the engine needs them or not. Rich mixtures not only cost you at the pump because of burning thus buying more fuel but they are hard on the upper end of the cylinders, pistons and rings as the extra and unburnt fuel washes the already thin upper cylinder lube away leaving metal to run against metal. Moly rings will hide this awhile as they run well with very little lube, chrome rings will do OK as well since their hardness will slow the rate of micro welding to the cylinder wall. Simple cast rings will quickly self destruct in this situation as they have neither the self lubricating quality of moly nor the hardness of chrome. So these bare iron rings will quickly weld and tear at the cylinder wall destroying both in short order.
The MAP sensed systems also suffer from needing a large signal to be able to differentiate small differences in power requirements. As the manifold vacuum comes down with a large cam the engine gets into a situation where small changes in the relationship of manifold vacuum to throttle position and RPM make large differences in fuel requirements. The TBI's sensors just don't have the needed selectivity under these circumstances to provide the computer with discrete enough information that it can calculate the proper control number for the fuel and ignition map. The map has a bunch or numbers each of which tells the computer to switch on the injector for a select time period. (I know when you look at the injector it looks like its on all the time but it isn't; it's being quickly switched on, off and on again to deliver a certain weight of fuel in a time period. The pressure in the system does not vary therefore the proper weight of fuel is determined by the on-off-on timing. These Electronic Fuel Injection systems are not continuous flow systems like the old Rochester unit of the late 1950s early 60s nor like the Hilborn racing system.) So to keep the data selectivity band wide enough to provide good mixture management you want to keep the cam around 200 degrees on the intake and about 215 on the exhaust measured at .050 inch lift. Keeping the lift around .45 inch. The Lobe Separation Angle (LSA) is also very important as this tends to affect the overlap, for TBI you want very little if any overlap where the exhaust and intake are open together between the end of the exhaust stroke and beginning of the intake. So the cam choice will have a lot of LSA somewhere in the range of 112 to 116 degrees.
As I said in my previous post a good approach for more power from a TBI engine is bigger since you're cam limited a small engine would up to 6000 plus RPM to get plenty of top end horsepower is a quirky and difficult exercise. The related Holley TBI systems tended to be aimed at race applications having decent idle and top end but hunting anywhere in-between, the GM unit would do the same with a cam that gets the idle vacuum under about 15 inches. So less cam and more displacement makes a simpler solution and get the performance off the greater torque that comes with a larger displacement.
The problem of getting sufficient fuel remains this is why Holley went to 4 barrel injectors with the 700 and 950 cfm units not so much for air flow especially the 700 cfm 4 barrel compared to the 670 cfm 2 barrel but rather for the need to mount 4, 80 to 90 pounds/minute injectors to get the needed gasoline to feed above 330 horses without running the working pressures up to where the injector life is shortened. Still with a 670 CFM unit having 90 pound injectors, tweaking the system pressure up a bit and running a custom chip that retimes the injectors so the lower RPMS aren't awash in excess gasoline is a damn decent way to go. 670's as pull offs from 454 pickup motors or new/used Holleys are all over E-Bay. These are physically a bolt on/plug in to your current intake, sensors and computer. In unmolested form they will support 280-290 horsepower, with a little tweaking of pressures and chip mods this is an easy 330-350. The Edlebrock 3207 cam characteristics are nearly the same as the old 300 horse 327 cam which in a 383 with 1.6 rockers will produce about 325 horses.
The Swirl Port heads can be ported to remove the vane, with a little care and time they can actually produce some excellent results. They are not going to exactly duplicate power and efficiency of more modern heads same similar to the Vortec, but they can be made to produce very credible results when cost is a big issue. The 193 is the head to start from if you go down this road as it has a smaller more efficient combustion chamber than the 191 version. Another little known and low cost solution is the 14101083 head this is a cast iron version of the Aluminum L98 Corvette head that is also used on the ZZ series crate engines. These use the 72 degree center intake bolt angle, therefore, will accept your intake. This is a 64 cc chamber head so you'll need dished pistons to control compression. You have to watch heads and manifolds especially on a tight budget as many heads such as the original L31 Vortec get you into an expensive intake for TBI or a carburetor intake with an adapter which while working well can get you into hood clearance problems.
The pistons will need a D shaped dish this is highly efficient as it keeps the dish all under the valve pocket and presents a flat surface to the squish/quench deck of the head, this maximizes efficiency and lowers the octane requirements of the compression ratio by 4 to 6 octanes. In otherwords whatever fuel you use it looks and reacts within the engine as if it had more octane so a 91 acts like a 95 to 97 octane fuel. Long story behind this for another day.
I think in my previous I talked about crank and rods so you can refer back to that. My always preference is for 4340 rods bushed for floating pins. Pistons need to also be for floating pins as many pistons made for pressed pins do not include the pin boss grooves for pin retainers.
Big thing to know is your budget; this can get out of hand quite quickly if you don't ride heard on your bank account. So knowing what you want to achieve and how much the budget is lets us match parts to dollars for the most effective bang for your buck. Sometimes youre quite a ways ahead to start with a crate engine and modify it as or if required. The big OEMs making new engines and the recon guys that do this on massive volumes can often provide a lot of bang for the buck the your local shop just can't cost match. Kind of like Wal-Mart coming to town.
I belive now that I was trying to build the engine with a blind eyes and tight brain....I think I was easy.
I already check the heads and the #14102193 which have a high comperssion and 64cc head chomber.
I read the instruction of the -14 cc and it required 2-4 dgreeing less timing.
I now make a mistake and want to correct the stuation now.want your help guys.
the most important and hard quiestion to me.......will the engine run with this piston or not......need more dgreeing for less compession ratio?I just read on the net pages that.
I will try to buy the 2inches intake and I read on google that you can bore the stuck monifold and just buy a 454 thottle body for more breathing...is it ok?
the chip....I know about it but like to hear which is recommended for the use?
with intake I think I need headrs exhust.
and I,m a little shy about asking....I think I asking much...be pationt with me
the engine is now for racing use??can't be used on high ways?the normal octan here in my country is 95 will it work well or need to increase it?
I won't run a high RPM......mixmum 4000
please recommend the parts needed to correct my mistake.....and would like to thank you guys for all answers
|I just ran this cam in my last 383 TBI. Let me give you some quick specs of what i did. I ran 454 injectors around 16psi, 50mm TBI, and a matched Edlebrock 3704 50mm intake. I ran the same cam with Trick flow 1.6:1 narrow body rockers. I had KB 135 pistons i believe with a Trickflow 23 degree 195 cc runner heads with 64cc combustion chambers. Was a 383 scat setup. I had Brian custom tune me a chip took about 3-4 tries to get it dialed in via datalogging. Engine ran really strong did start losing power past 5000 but the bottleneck was in the 2bbl TBI setup so a standard 4bbl intake with a TBI adapter would have been an upgrade with the EGR tuned out of chip. Unfortunately after 2 oil changes i went to synthetic and the cam went flat really quick so now i sold the shortblock and have the heads and TBI stuff in garage collecting dust. So word of advice the cam can be run but with the appropriate heads and valvesprings and break in is crucial and always run with zinc additive. I would really recommend you look at the 8-304-8 roller cam and stay away from flat tappet cams. I was running 9.6 compression with the pistons in the hole .006 and a .039 gasket. Hope this helps some.
Listen to Bogie; print that post out and keep it, ask questions untill you UNDERSTAND it. Don't be the guy who comes here with his Killer Engine Of Death; and when we give him sound advice about problems he WILL have; because he doesn't have the experience needed for the performance he thinks he wants, he gets all internet-mad and argues with us because WE are wrong. Usually that guy just wants us to pat him on the head and say 'nice job sport!' regardless of how much of a Mongolian Cluster-eff this will be. These are the people who got trophies in youth league for showing up with their jockstrap in the proper place, and have never learned to overcome having a setback or being told 'No.'
You made a mistake; and the guys on the techline didn't do you any favors. We've all made mistakes, its okay. You're better off taking a week to rethink this.
Comp is a joke when it comes to customer service. They tell you how to properly measure for pushrods and tell you how critical it is; but the drooling meth head on the phone, sells an uninformed guy pushrods, with a NON- OE rocker ratio. That ones not your fault. I see it too at my job. Guy calls up, orders an overhaul kit. Easy sale is to just punch the ticket and make money; but no, I take 20 minutes trying to figure out what he wants, what hes doing and if he can afford it. If he tears his muncie apart when he gets the overhaul kit, and he finds he needs 2 forks, all the reverse parts and his case has a bore that wont hold the countershaft without silicone; he's usually over his budget and now he's got an overhaul kit he can't use. I'll take it back, but hes gotta ship it and lose 10% for me to put it on the shelf, assuming he didn't lose all the little springs, etc. Its better to EDUCATE my customer, have him disassemble and inspect before ordering.
Start a new thread: Tell us where you want to go; what your starting block is, dont even bother with the parts you bought at this point. Give us a reasonable budget for the motor, and what you want to do with it. You'll get a much better picture with a clean sheet rather than trying to erase all this stuff
Compression, you didn't sight what head you've got if original the 1993 TBI engines use the Swirl Port head, these are not very high RPM heads as the vane that creates the swirl obstructs the port preventing revs over 4500 RPM regardless of the cam used. The Swirl Port head comes in two casting with different size chambers the 14102191 has a low compression 74cc chamber while 14102193 has the high compression 64cc chamber. So before you bought pistons you needed to pull a rocker cover to find the casting number of the heads on your engine. A 12cc domed piston is likely to cause compression ratio problems with a super tight tune and iron heads with 91 octane fuel about 9.5 to 1 Static Compression Ratio (SCR) with a mild cam is about as far as you can go without encountering detonation. Go here when you know what head you've got <<< United Engine & Machine Co. Incorporated >>>.
Pushrod length is determined by how the roller on the rocker tip traverses the valve stem tip; you can't determine this till the engine is assembled up to the and including the heads. Then with an adjustable pushrod you place a mark on the stem tip and turn the engine over by hand to get a witness mark of the roller on the stem tip, using this technique the proper mark will determine the pushrod length. Changes in build up from block decking, head milling, head gasket, stack-up changes of the type and manufacturer of heads and certainly changes to roller rockers will affect the needed pushrod length. Follow the instructions found here >>> COMP Cams® - Sorry... >>>
The SCAT stuff is cast or forged in China and finish machined in the USA and is priced likewise. Most of the high priced brands are also made in China and finished here but are sold at made in America prices. The SCAT stuff is damn good stuff we use a lot of it from street rods to full up race engines. I happen to like and use the SCAT 2-ICR5700 for 5.7 inch rods and really make use of the 2-ICT6000 6 inch rod, these are made from forged 4340 and use capscrews rather than bolts. They are plenty good for hot street engines and Claimer race motors. Capscrews make for a stronger rod as the compromises made in the shape of the shank to allow a headed bolt are avoided. The capscrew rod also gets around the issues of clearancing for a stroker which compromises the bolt head. These rods use a capscrew that passes through an alignment dowel that insures the cap and shank make properly, they also provide an extra step outside the fine-line of the cap and shank interface which is a great help in reacting the tension loads put on the cap when the rod assembly is jerked down on the intake stroke. This is a movement that wants to egg shape the cap which pinches it in at the interface line with the shank. This movement pinches the bearing taking the oil wedge off the rod journal, spinning the bearing and finally failing the rod. the design that SCAT uses along with the capscrew mounting hardware goes a long, long way toward eliminating this most common of rod failures. A bushed rod with floating pins is the only way to go. This eliminates making mistakes disassembling and reassembling pressed pins that can bend and twist the rod and in the case of alloy steels like 3140, 5140, or 4340 unlike the factory mild steel of 1046 or 1053 the alloy steels do not like to be heated and many shops heat the pin end because this is fairly safe to do with mild steel, but with alloy steel it's a disaster in the making as it modifies the molecular structure and destroys the heat treatment of these materials. Stay away from 5140 rods, this stuff is advertised as having the same tensile strength as 4340 at a lower price. While this is true theres more to the performance of a chunk of metal than its tensile strength. In the case of 5140 it is brittle compared to 4340, refer to the Izod Impact Test numbers for these metals, For a connecting rod where the load constantly changes from compression to bending to tensile and repeat again a more brittle material is asking for trouble. 5140 is OK for a crankshaft when running an automatic on one end with an expensive/effective damper on the other. Unfortunately, you've made some really big decisions before coming here first and you have stuff like the pistons that in the first place aren't a good street piston and secondly have defined the rods and crankshaft for you.
Actually the best way to get power out of a TBI engine is to make it bigger a 383 being the way to go, use less cam, use a 670 CFM TBI from an older mid 80's to mid 90's 454 or get a new one from Holley and use a custom chip with the higher manifold vacuum that comes from the milder cam. This makes a much more stable and predictable engine. For about the same cost as what you've sunk this would have been a lot less painful. Now you've got these pistons which have you locked into the 5.7 inch rod. Short of sending this stuff back I don't know what you're going to do about compression especially if you've got 193 heads.
The other way to get more power out of the TBI engine is to replace the heads. The Vortec is always a good choice for these. This type head gets much better power by improving the burn rather than using more fuel and air to burn. This again lets you get away with a milder cam and fewer, if any, changes to the injection programming. Against the very mild OEM cam that the TBI engines use the Vortec head will pick up an easy 20 horses. Given the Edlebrock 3702 cam that will go to 30-40 horses with a like amount of torque increase in both cases. These do get you into some plumbing headaches with the EGR which are not too difficult to solve or with a custom chip the EGR can be eliminated. Dont just disconnect it as this will cause the mixture to go lean more than the LEARN function in the computer can compensate for and you may just toast the engine as a result. There are aftermarket Vortec type heads from many sources in iron and aluminum. For a mild 350 these from Skip White are pretty decent and let you use your current intake <<< White Performance Detail Description >>>.
Frankly, Id send everything back and completely rethink this project and certainly come here for advice.
350 TBI first time rebuilding engine...question
Looked on Summit Racing at the head gaskets for a 93 350. The compressed thickness is .041. This would give you a Static Compression Ratio of 10.562 and a DYNAMIC EFFECTIVE COMPRESSION RATIO of 8.790 which cannot run on 93 octane gas with a set of iron heads without detenation. You have a TBI system which is computer controlled. I can see the computer trying to reduce the timing because of the knock sensors. Getting somewhere around 6 miles to the gallon of gas because the timing is retarded so much. I would try and clean the pistons up with some degreaser (Simple Green). Mix some Simple Green with hot water to clean them and dry them immediately to prevent spotting or turning white. If not maybe you can sell them later. But you definetely need the 9902HC pistons if you want to use this motor for the street. Maybe someone else can come along and give you some better advice. Good luck.
I use a head a thick gaskit 0.045in
do you think this will help??it's diffecult to return the piston cos I already open it and it get some dirt
|How did you calculate your pushrod length?
350 TBI first time rebuilding engine...question
Did you buy the pistons from Summit Racing and are they still in the box? Summit Racing will swap the pistons as long as they have not been installed on the rods. These are the pistons that are needed Keith Black/KB Pistons 9902HCKTM030 - Keith Black KB Performance Claimer Piston and Ring Kits - Overview - SummitRacing.com There is no way to use the pistons that you have. They have hollow domes that cannot be machined down. I feel bad for you being in this situation but you should have came here before you ordered any parts. You are saying they recommended that camshaft K12-365-4 and the 1.6 rockers. With the pistons you have the compression is so high you would have to use reace gas (110 octane).
thanks for man...yes I plan to use the car for daily use...spically high ways driving.....the heads are stock and not decked...but the piston !!I already bought it and bored the block on it.......I didn't want that in in the beginning but some tells it will burn much fuel.....so is there any suggest without replacing the piston?
|I asked comp cams and it it's answer to use this rockers...And I boght it
|the 1.6 rockers might be to TRICK the factory ecu..
350 TBI first time rebuilding engine... question
Let's start out asking if this is going to be a daily driver? Have you had the block, crank, and heads to the machine shop yet? Are you using the heads that is on your motor? Using your 1993 GM heads will need some work, mild porting to get them to breathe better. The pistons you list with the 76cc heads will have a compression ratio of 11.3:1. Too much to run off pump gas. You need this set of pistons if using your 76 cc GM heads. Keith Black/KB Pistons KB106KTD-030 - Keith Black KB Performance Piston and Ring Kits - Overview - SummitRacing.com or these http://www.summitracing.com/parts/UEM-9902HCKTM030/ Use a Fel-Pro 1094 .015 steel shim head gaskets (4.100 x .015) if your block has not been decked. This will give you a quench of .040 which is good for using pump gas. Your compression ratio will be around 9.1:1. The Scat rods are from China but are good rods. The top ring gap for the top and second ring should be .026. Unless you are doing a lot of heavy towing I would file them to .026. If you do decide to open the gap just do the top ring gap. I would also call Comp Cams to see what they suggest for your camshaft. I don't like the exhaust lift lower than the intake lift. Most stock heads need higher exhaust lift. I would suggest the Comp Cams K12-262-4, 218/224 duration, and 0.464/0.470 lift. I would call Comp Cams to get their opinion.

I've built up a few 47's in the past but this will be my first build with a virgin barrel. Just looking to see if anyone feels like lending a hand and has the proper tools (flat jig, drill press, etc). I'll bring the beer and good conversation.
Other option is if anyone would like to have a build party, we could all work together.

It would be if there was still a "West" Germany.
All jokes aside, Sig makes a good gun and while there is a current production Sig P226 being made in Germany, the US made guns are OK, although their QC has been coming under fire of late. I find I like the milled slides better than the old stamped slides, but that's a matter of preference.

The breasts are both a nourishing source of life and an effective expression of femininity, but they are also very vulnerable. As the breasts are only supported by the surrounding skin, they can sag as a result of time and life events, becoming a major concern for women.

Newbie here. I have just recently start on my journey in creating a Jango suit. My first attempt at any such endevour. My wife has jokingly welcomed me to my new obsession, but she is right.:thumbsup I am frustrated that my money source is low causing me to slow down in my progress. Even more frustrated that I have to work rather than be at home working at it. Then again if you don't work you don't get the money to get the goods.
Anyway, I was wondering if anyone has a reasonable (aka cheap) solution for Jango's Flak Vest. I have seen the displays for the custom made vest and suit, but don't know if I can afford that option currently. Any other suggestions?

Direct Action Against the Keystone XL Pipeline
Public protest against the Keystone XL pipeline continues to grow. Now, eight people have climbed into trees along the Keystone XL construction route to prevent construction from proceeding.
"Today I climbed a tree in the path of Keystone XL to demand TransCanada stop construction of this dirty and dangerous pipeline. This pipeline is a disaster for everyone it touches, from the cancer tar sands extraction is causing indigenous communities, to the water poisoned by inevitable tar sands spills, to the landowners whose land has been seized, and to everyone that will be affected by climate change," said Mary Washington, one of the Tar Sands Blockade members participating in the action.
The Tar Sands Blockade describes itself as an alliance of climate justice organizers, Tea Party members and affected landowners using sustained civil disobedience to stop construction of the Keystone XL tar sands pipeline.

Hi all,
There appears to be a bunch of gubbage online Re CELTA and its areas of assessment. For instance, I couldnt find a clear, understandable, and digestible website which talks about tenses (present simple, past simple etc etc).
I've bought a couple of books to help me pass the CELTA, but does anyone know any useful websites? Note: they need to be accurate, up to date, and very very easy to understand and follow.
Thanks guys!

Welcome to the site!
Hello all,
Writing about myself is always difficult so here it goes.
I'm 50 and have been married for 20 years. My wife and I have been casually shooting off and on for about the last 15 years and recently got serious and started shooting in a 22 fun league. We are both learning and having fun. I want to start learning about IDPA and USPSA over the winter and try some matches this spring, hopefully my wife will get interested. We also volunteer with a Siberian Husky rescue and take our dogs scootering, sledding and are going to start skijoring (having your dogs pull you on cross country skis) this year, if we get snow that is. I'm looking forward to learning and passing along whatever help I can give.
Welcome from Stone Mountain Georgia

That's pretty darn good work for only 2 weeks!
I sent in my pictures and application to the 501st! Yay! Still waiting for more of those pictures to come in from friends... will post once I get them :D
I thought about venturing down the Open Seasons road as well to go along with my Jango EP II costume... question though... what red color did you use?
Thanks dude,
I used the Krylon Burgundy Satin Finish Spray Paint. I was able to get it at Wal-Mart and the local hardware store. I can post a pic of the can, if you'd like :D
Super pictures. Great costume. After the hard work comes the fun.
hmm, wasn't accurate enough... well I am glad I haven't submitted my app yet, cause they would probably tell me the same thing then.
Give it a shot, apparently it all depends on your garrison's GML. Mine decided that my costume wasn't accurate enough :lol
I could really care less, I'm going to join the Mando Mercs anyway, and when I finish up my Officer Uniform (Since I've always wanted one of those anyway) I'll just join with that lol.
I know it's been awhile since Ive posted on this thread, but here it is!
I recently attended a D.A.R.E. graduation and was asked by the Chief of Police here to come wearing my Jango OS! His son is Darth Vader, lol, and while he couldn't make it, one of his friends came wearing the suit. While I still haven't gotten the chance to fix the little flaw on my gauntlet (I messed up the alignment) it was still fun!
Here a couple I have right now to post and there should be one or two more at home I will post later.
These were pics of me walking around scaring little kids (Or them scaring me, I dont know for sure :lol) before the actual graduation started.
Posing for the Camera
Walking by...
The Official "My Girlfriend Would Kill Me if She Saw I Posted Her Pics on the Internet" Shot :lol I kept my cool during that pic... was very proud of myself
Haha, the last pic is great! Well done armor! :D
Thanks, Ord!
Here are a couple more
I'm not really sure what I was doing here, but I like how this pic turned out :lol
This is one with the D.A.R.E. Officer and McGruff the Crime Dog!
And this is a video I uploaded. It was filmed by my girlfriend, she was helping my Dad D.J. the event (Since I was all dressed up) and that's why the music is so loud. This is me coming in behind all of the kids. Darth Vader came in front of them.
I notice the police officer is doing less than the mando for the crowd control :)
Good stuff matey!
Great work on this Jango OS!!
I've been off TDH for awhile, but decided to check in and saw a reply to my old thread! Thanks, Worktron, appreciate it! I still troop around in this from time to time at local Charity events. Lots of fun!

Five players are currently away from Arsenal on loan. Swiss
international defender
Johan Djourou will be getting valuable Premiership experience
after joining newly-promoted Birmingham City until January.
Elsewhere, defender
Matthew Connolly will spend the entire campaign at Championship
club Colchester United while
Kerrea Gilbert and
Jay Simpson will be in League One with Southend United
and Millwall respectively. Promising Mexican striker
Carlos Vela will play his football in Spain with La Liga side
Keep up-to-date with the fortunes of all our loan stars in our regular Loan Watch.
Johan Djourou
Tottenham Hotspur 2-3 Birmingham City, December 2
Two former Gunners lined up alongside Johan Djourou in Alex McLeish's first game in charge of Birmingham City. One of those, Sebastian Larsson, fired a stunning last-minute strike to condemn Juande Ramos to his first defeat at the Tottenham helm. Gary McSheffery scored the Blues' first from 12-yards after being felled by Younes Kaboul. Robbie Keane then grabbed a brace, one of which was a penalty conceded by Djourou, before receiving his marching orders for a lunge on Fabrice Muamba. Cameron Jerome equalised for the visitors, and with the woodwork denying both sides it was left to Larsson to snatch all three points.
Carlos Vela
Deportivo La Coruna 1-2 Osasuna, December 2
Carlos Vela continued his footballing education in Spain, starting in Osasuna's 2-1 win away to Deportivo La Coruna.The result ended a run of three games without a win and cam thanks to an 87th-minute strike from Eduardo Dady. Depor's Ruben Castro had cancelled out Jaroslav Plasil's opener seven minutes from time before Dady struck the winner.
Matthew Connolly
Sheffield Wednesday 1-2 Colchester United, December 1
Matthew Connolly was withdrawn at half-time in Colchester's 2-1 win at Sheffield Wednesday. Teddy Sheringham, 21-years Connolly's senior, put the U's in front after just 52 seconds, and George Elokobi doubled their advantage on 26 minutes. Akpo Sodje reduced the deficit from a Steve Watson corner later in the opening period, but a further goal from either side proved elusive. The result ended a winless run of seven games for Geraint Williams' men.
Jay Simpson
Millwall 2-1 Bournemouth, December 1
Millwall battled their way past Bournemouth and into the Third Round of the FA Cup, although Jay Simpson was only on the bench. Two goals in five minutes shortly after the interval gave the Lions the upper-hand. In the spirit of a cup tie the visitors fought bravely and pulled one back through Shaun Cooper with 15 minutes remaining but the Londoners held on. Loanees Ahmet Brkovic and Will Hoskins were the scorers for the hosts.
Kerrea Gilbert
Oxford 0-0 Southend United, December 1
Non-league Oxford United will travel to Southend for a Second-Round FA Cup reply after deadlock on Saturday. Kerrea Gilbert though was once again left out of the Shimpers' squad.

GPS-enabled smartphones have made location the cornerstone of the mobile experience. Location powers popular smartphone apps such as Foursquare, shopkick, and Yelp; overall, navigation and mapping apps are the third-most-used category of smartphone apps, ranking higher than gaming, news, and shopping. Yet, as important as location is, its dependence on satellite-based positioning systems prevents it from playing a significant role indoors -- where we spend up to 90% of our lives.
As I discuss in my new report, Next In Tech: Indoor Positioning, indoor positioning technologies are rapidly changing this situation by enabling users, venue owners, and app developers to determine a person's (or object's) position inside buildings. The impact of this change will be profound:

Discussion in 'Off The Beaten Track' started by Rob, Jan 5, 2010.
We start again tonight at 8/7c!
One of the contestants is over 500 pounds.
I'm excited for this season... the twins combined weigh close to 1000 lbs. apparently.
Looking forward to the show... I need Bob to yell at me to stop eating junk food, LOL!
I am really interested to watch. Also, for those interested,there is a special that is airing on Discovery Health tomorrow night about Eric, the Season 3 winner who gained most of his weight back.
They showed reruns of Season 3 over New Years, and I could not believe how much Eric lost between the last week at the ranch and the finale. It was stunning. Over 80 lbs I think. Not sure how long he had, but most of the finalist have lost 20-50 pounds between the semi-final and final. Danny and Rudy lost 80-90 pounds at home I think, but they went home for 30 days before the semi final and then again before the final. I wonder whether the time at home differs season to season.
I saw it too--and I was amazed at all of the weight that Eric lost before he left the ranch. But, one insight I got when watching that marathon was that those contestants stay in the 4-5 hrs a day. I don't know anyone who can consistently stay in the gym that many hours a day--especially if you have a job, family, etc.
It's crazy how they have these seasons back-to-back, but I will be watching.
Those fried plantains at Maggy and Migdalia's looked delicious
I think this season will be a good one. There isn't anyone that I dislike (yet).
I have only watched this show in passing before. However, I'm definitely following it this time because Ashley from the pink team is a friend of mine. It was very surreal to see her on the show tonight. In general, I like most of the people on the show, so I think it will be fun.
For some reason, the twins in the 480s looked heavier to me than Michael at 526.
Michael picked Jillian up like she was the remote control.
It was a good show tonight but I don't know how I feel about them having to weigh in while in front of their friends and family. They all ready go through the gamut of emotions on the show so why should they have to go through that before they even get there?
This should be a good season though.
Wow!!! That was amazing--I can't believe their first challenge was 26.2 miles on a bike. I was glad to see those two teams were not really eliminated but will be back in 30 days.
This is my first time watching this show. Did James say he lost 100 lbs in one month? How is that even possible?
I think it was 2 months.
I was bummed about both of the teams eliminated during the bike challenge (although more about O'Neal and Sunshine), and then to have one of the twins going home first!
Amazing first week weight loss for so many teams. But I'm a bit worried that the producers will not be satisfied until someone drops dead during the first week
They are.
At what time is the special about Eric?
Those were some huge numbers - I wonder if it was not really one week, but closer to 2or 3 weeks - a few days to a week after the hometown weigh-ins to get everyone there, get the medical tests done, and a week on the ranch.
I forgot all about this and just tuned in at the weigh-in. There are a lot of really big people in this group and huge loss numbers for the first week.
I was thinking much the same thing.
I actually felt bad that any of this bunch had to leave so soon.
There were some during the weigh-in that I was hoping would be in the bottom, just because we hadn't heard much about them yet - but then when they told some of their story during weigh in I wanted them to do well. First elimination is such a killer!
One thing - is the brother who went home the one with the knee problem?
I watched part of this show for the first time, but all the grunting and crying really irked me. But I did like that nobody was being coddled.
And what is with the drawn out weigh in and kick off process? Is the hostess trying to impress us with her math skills? "Bob, you have two votes, if you get three more, you are off. Harry, you have one vote, if you get four more, you are off. Guys, there are three teams left. One of them needs to have a lower percentage loss than you, or one of you goes home." I wanted to pelt her with something. How about not having a two hour show if you have to draw it out that way?
That said, I'm partial to the pink team. Obviously.
I don't like the "twist" of the first 2 teams going home for 30 days. As one of them said, they didn't get a chance to even experience the ranch for a short time. What did they learn that they could take home and apply to their lives? Even though one team comes back, they will miss out on some early ranch experiences. And the other team will have gotten nothing.
when Sunshine and ONeal left, didnt they say they were going to help them or something?
I don't like it either - they didn't even get a week. And that gentleman needs a jump start so that (at a minimum) he can tie his own shoes.
Oh, that's right. I forgot that Bob & Jillian said they were going to provide some help. While it won't be a full ranch experience, hopefully it will be more substantial than Bob showing up to make lunch with Jenni-O turkey or Jillian teaching them how to store portions in Ziploc freezer bags.
I expect that Bob and Jillian will show up to train them, but they didn't get that week 1 big number or group support. I especially felt that the Yellow Team needed that boost. The Blue Team daughter looked like she has it in her from what little we saw.
I thought it as incredibly cruel how they got their hopes up and eliminated them right away. Not right
I think they need AT LEAST two weeks on the ranch before getting booted. OR rather than immunity challenges, if everyone finishes, everyone stays. Otherwise, it goes to vote.
9pm EST on Discovery Health Channel and it repeats 3 hrs later.
I wish that they would send the first 10 or so eliminated players to the Fat Camp in Utah. I understand that it postpones the inevitable, but if they are truly committed to getting these people healthy, a month or two at the Fat Camp would help immensely. Or, they could at least keep them on the ranch for two weeks... first week, the team who wins the weigh in gets immunity for the next week, and then they eliminate two at the second weigh in. Help these people get "it" before they send them home.

Are there any decent LVLP guns that you someone might recommend? What's the typical hp requirement for these? Any of these run on less than 1hp, or does that limit you to an air brush?
I have no idea on these and not sure what I would be looking at to get into one that is decent - don't need the best and greatest, but don't want something that is going to just make a mess of my props either.
Thanks for any advice you can offer.

Well, how do you fare compared to the Zeitgeist?
Chat up your fellow wooters and let us know how lame this poll was or what obvious choices we missed.
For example: Was this poll a) STUPID, b) DUMB, c) POINTLESS or d) ALL OF THE ABOVE?
I do laundry every 3 days. One load of towels, another of clothes. Never, in over 20 years of doing laundry, have I once put in a white sock and pulled out a pink one. I really don't understand why people bother separating colors from whites.
I don't believe that turning t-shirts inside out does anything to increase the longevity of clothing. Want to preserve clothes? Cold water, delicate wash.
I pre-treat serious stains like blood and oil-based food stains. I turn undershirts and underwear inside out.
After that, as many pieces of clothing as possible gets shoved into the washer on regular wash/regular spin with cold water, detergent and a fabric softener ball.
I only pre-treat bad stains, but I always separate reds and whites. I HAVE had some of my white stuff stained pink-ish.
After I taught my wife how to do laundry she informed me that I had no idea what I was doing when it came to laundry and she too over.
My laundry duties now consist of machine maintenance and purchase and paying for the detergent of her choice.
Oh and I was allowed to decide that we are going to switch to a gas dryer so that we can do laundry on the generator when the power goes out.
I Shout the stains outta my grundies.
Why isn't 'get naked' a choice?
I'd have to ask my wife... I have a tide stain pen at my desk, if I get something on my shirt I use that. Otherwise, she might shout something that gets a stain. With 4 boys I'm sure she does something.

Empty pockets because if I don't there WILL BE a wallet getting washed.
I don't bother turning shirts inside out, although I have made certain exceptions...
Seperate darks, lights, towels, bedding, jeans, delicates. Whites go with the lights, unless I'm using bleach and then they get washed seperate. Oh, and the babies stuff is ALWAYS washed seperately with a milder detergent.
Cold water, detergent, fabric softener sheets in the drier.

Two main piles: Care and care less. Care means laundry is not arbitrarily piled in, heavy isn't mixed in with lightweight, and gentler detergent. Care less means weight class is irrelevant and any detergent suitable for front loaders is game. Can't say there's an automatic standard for assignment either - I have $20 Woot/AA shirts that are in the care less pile and sub-$1 thrift-store-sourced shirts in the care pile.
Sub-piles: Lights, darks, or mixed colors. Dryer or hang dry.
Having (successfully?) raised 3 boys, I've developed a system which allows me to almost keep up with the laundry while remaining sane.
Here's my highly complex system:
Pile 1 = things that get bleach & hot water
Pile 2 = everything else
I pretreat stains if and only if the article has been laid aside for that purpose. If you just threw it into the hamper, it's probably coming back to you with the stain intact.
I refuse to be involved in checking pockets, turning inside out, yada yada yada.
I do all of this because, really life is too short. Ya know?
I have separate bins, so not need to prep before washing.
I have to check the pockets. It seems a dime is just the right size to jam the washer.
I pretreat stains.
That is about it. Unless I decide to bleach the whites.
I turn my tee shirts inside out, that's pretty much it.
I pre-treat stains, empty all the pockets, turn t-shirts inside-out
....but I do not separate darks from lights.
I turn out my tees because that really does make the prints last way longer. I empty pockets because I leave everything in there. Don't really see the need for anything else though.
The only thing i do is turn my Woot shirts inside out so they last longer.
I turn my Tshirts inside-out when I take them off. I try to empty pockets when I toss stuff in the hamper, but I seem to miss tissues with some regularity, so I've been checking again before I wash. Separate darks and "lights", but most of my lights are more medium, and the only hard and fast rule is that anything new gets washed with darks.
Everything gets hung to dry in my home, except sheets and towels, which go to the laundromat.

Im still in a bit of a daze, but its REAL! I found a Glenross dental expander on eBay on Christmas day of all times, dare I say Christmas Miracle. Im not dreaming, I was sitting there at my wifes side family get together going through my saved searches when I see an auction for a dental lot of old dental parts and pieces, there was one item in the lot that stopped me dead in my tracks, oh hell no I clicked on the buy it now option only hopping and days later its here in my hand. I have been after this found part for four years now sometimes checking eBay two to three times a day. Long ago I created a search called dental lot new I knew it was a long shot but still possible. I had a better chance at finding this expander as part of a lot or collection of dental items. My search is finally over now you find yours.
Good Luck
P.S. this found part will be added to my PP2 build. I am determined to find and use real found parts on my Pre-Pro 2 suit, even if it kills me.
Jim (=Syper=)
Can You See It?
This auction said nothing about Glenross or expanders. With each dental lot for sale, you have to look through all of the photos.

|Obtaining a Social Security Card
You can only apply for a social security card if you receive employment. Initially, you can only work on-campus. After one academic year, you are eligible for paid internships which would allow you to work off-campus in a job relating to your field. After graduation, you are eligible for one year of full-time employment if you participate in Optional Practical Training (OPT).
El Monte Social Security Administration Office: CLOSED DUE TO FIRE DAMAGE
3380 Flair Drive, Suite #113
Two other local Social Security Administration Offices:
501 S. Vincent Ave.
900 S. Garfield Ave.
For On-campus Employment
Since you are an International student, you will need a letter from the UWEST staff/administrator hiring you. You will also first need to fill out an employment application with Human Resources. Please bring a copy of that application and the original letter from your future employer (on campus) to the International Student Services Advisor (Jennifer Derry), AD103. I will then type you a DSO letter to take to Social Security along with your future employer's letter and other relevant forms. I will help you with the Social Security Card application. We will make an appointment for you to pick up your letters and to go over your Social Security Card application at that time. Forms and directions will be supplied to you concerning how to get to the SSN office and what paperwork to bring to Social Security.
Once you have completed all required steps and forms, you can go to any Social Security Office. They do not take appointments, so be prepared to wait for a bit of time once you get there. Remember to take all your I-20's, passport, F-1 Visa, I-94#, either on a white card in your Visa or printed and downloaded from www.cbp/i94, DSO letter, Employer letter, and completed Social Security Card application form when you go.
Once you apply, you will be given a receipt. Once you receive your SSN card in the mail, please bring a copy to the HR office. You may not begin work until you receive your SSN card in the mail. It is necessary for your letter from your employer to have a future date for your employment (at least 2-3 weeks in the future) and the statement on the same line as follows, [after the (future) date of employment]: and not until the Social Security card is received by the student.

I would love some advice from anyone who is currently teaching in China or has done so in the past. I am finding information on obtaining a visa quite difficult - I have been told I should just get a torist visa and once I have found a job apply for a work visa. The problem with this is that when applying for a tourist visa you need to show a complete itinary including return flight and ALL hotel details.
Also I would appreciate any advice/suggestions on where to go in China.
I am 32 years old (male) and recently completed the 4 part study at home TEFL course - I don't have any direct teaching experience but have worked with children on a volunteer basis and have done presenations/training as part of my job (in the media industry).
I am looking to work in China for 6 months to 12 months.
Please get in contact if you can help,

We're taking ours on a 2 month trip to Chesapeake from SC and back. Leaving in 8 days, we'll report on performance. We keep 2 2lt bottles freezing and 2 more in the ice box in the galley. Each morning we switch them so we always have 'block ice' in the galley box. We take ours on long car trips and it will run 12 hours over night and I still have juice to start the car. We both have the insulating jacket...recommend it highly..better cooling and protects the box.
I have been looking at engles at the boat show but had a friend give raving reviews of the coleman for its low power draw. My understanding is that in just cooling mode in 85 degree temps it will draw less than one amp.
at full freeze 0F in 104 degree temps it will draw about 4 amps. The engle type compressor turns on and off... the coleman runs continuously unless it gets below the target temp. Anyway... base line seems to be that you need to start at about 20 to 30 amps per day draw at 12 volts to keep the drinks cold and up to 100 amps per day to deepfreeze stuff to 0F.
however coleman no longer makes these. if your lucky you can call one of the coleman outlet stores and find one still on the shelves for 299.00 clearance. To buy the same model from the manufacture global cooling will cost 600 or 700 dollars.
I just ordered store display from an outlet in alabama for 250 +20 in shipping. It's the right price if you can find one and the right size for a small boat like I have.
well turns out the one place i found that had this 'in stock' .. didn't ..so.. i guess i won't be able to do a real world test of it. i must admit i was a little nervous being a guinea pig..
guess i will go with an engel or waeco..
My feathers are smooth
Our son is on a Watkins 27 and we are on a Watkins 25......no mega yachts here. I do research before I do anything on the boat too. But Murphy's law being what it is I find that frequently after exhaustive research then purchase, two days later I find a better one of whatever That's why I pay more attention to the reports of actual use and why I try to post our actual experiences. I like the info sharing on this site, it is invaluable to making decisions. That notwithstanding some people still go out on those 'foldie-wingie-thingies'!
yes.. i am tad unbelieving it will 'be all that' .. but who knows, occasionally a product comes out that actually performs.
i will let you know.
I took a look at the cruiser's forum thread... and I would take anything a person from the manufacturer said with a large chunk of NaCl. By all means, let us know how it works out for you.
sheez guys.. hang on.
i haven't even gotten it yet, i was just putting an fyi out there. i even said i would tell you if i found it to be a POS..
i didn't mean to ruffle feathers.

That's why mylar balloons that are helium filled deflate over time...the helium escapes.
Second, the Twinbird unit says it draws 4 Amps at 12 VDC... 48 Watts. The M27 Engel unit (22 liters volume) draws a max of 2.3 Amps. The MT35 is a bit larger than the Coleman, 34 qt. vs 26 liter, and draws only 2.5 Amps. So, exactly how is the Coleman more efficient???
Even the MT60-combi unit (64 qt. interior volume) which has separate refrigerator and freezer sections has only a max draw of 3.6 amps, and gives you a lot more space.
Finally, IIRC, the Engel swing compressor system only has ONE moving part... not three, so should be even more reliable than the Coleman system.
second yes the coleman uses max 48watts in maximum draw down (Max delta T 104'), however to maintain 32degrees with an ambient temp of 72degees it uses just 1.1amp.
if i had room for an MT60, i might a bought one. i am not on some 44' garden design, but an 29' islander.
your one moving part will wear out far before my three will. mine never touch anything.
most of this info i really had to dig to find, and the info posted is rather misleading.

TENNESSEE CAPTAINS #1 Michael Palardy, #41 Dontavis Sapp, #45 A.J. Johnson and #72 Zach Fulton.
VFL LEGEND OF THE GAME Today's Vol For Life Legends of the Game were Jeremaine Copeland, a standout receiver from 1995-98, and Mike "Stop" Cofer, a defensive end from 1979-82.
Copeland, from nearby Harriman, Tenn., had 103 catches for 1,361 yards and 10 touchdowns for the Vols and went on to a successful career in the Canadian Football League. Playing for Montreal, Calgary and Toronto, he amassed 10,014 receiving yards and 75 TDs on 622 catches. He currently is wide receivers coach for the CFL's Hamilton Tiger-Cats.
Cofer, a native of Knoxville, was a four-year letterwinner and team captain in 1982. During his time with the Vols, he recorded 237 tackles, five sacks and nine forced fumbles before going on to a 10-year NFL career. Playing for the Detroit Lions, Cofer earned Pro Bowl honors in 1988 and racked up 62.5 sacks and 10 fumble recoveries during his pro tenure.
FOR STARTERS Devaun Swafford got the start at nickel for the Vols, making him the fourth true freshman to earn a starting nod.
The other rookies to get starts thus far are Marquez North, Josh Smith and Cameron Sutton.
TERRIFIC AT TAKEAWAYS Entering the game, Tennessee had the second-highest turnovers forced total in the FBS at 12, ranking behind the 13 generated by Maryland and North Texas.
After picking off three passes vs. South Alabama, Tennessee now has forced 15 turnovers in five games.
Entering the game, Virginia Tech was the FBS leader in interceptions with 11.
After the three picks vs. the Jaguars today, the Vols now have 11 interceptions thus far in 2013.
Sophomore free safety LaDarrell McNeil grabbed his first career interception, returning an errant USA pass 16 yards in the first quarter and setting Tennessee up for 40-yard Michael Palardy field goal.
Senior linebacker Brent Brewer added an interception in the third quarter, his second this season and the second of his career.
Redshirt sophomore strong safety Brian Randolph came up with the biggest pick of the day for the Big Orange with 1:51 remaining in the game, helping Tennessee thwart a potential game-tying or winning scoring drive by South Alabama.
Randolph halted the threat with an INT in the end zone, his third career pick with all of them coming this season and taking place in the end zone.
BUTCH BALL Since 2011, Butch Jones-coached teams have forced 76 turnovers, ranking Jones first nationally among head coaches from BCS conferences during that time. Tennessee recorded a first-half interception (by LaDarrell McNeil) and second-half INTs (by Brent Brewer and Brian Randolph) vs. South Alabama.
AND WHEN ONE COMES YOUR WAY... Tennessee entered the game averaging 11.25 points per game off turnovers (either on the play or subsequent possession), the best rate in the SEC and fifth nationally.
The Vols turned LaDarrell McNeil's first quarter interception into three points via a 40-yard Michael Palardy field goal.
BRICK-BY-BRICK FOR THE OFFENSE Josh Smith hauled in his first career TD pass in the second quarter, catching a 29-yarder from Justin Worley.
Marlin Lane's 54-yard run in the first quarter, the longest of his career, was the longest carry by a Vols' running back since Tauren Poole went 59 yards for a TD vs. Alabama on Oct. 23, 2010.
Rajion Neal had a 53-yard burst out of the backfield in the second quarter, which was the longest of his career.
Marlin Lane extended the ball over the goalline while landing on his back, getting credit (after a review from the replay booth) for a two-yard TD run. It was his fourth rushing score of the season and the eighth of his career.
A.J. Branisel recorded his second career catch and first career TD as a Vol, snagging a two-yard toss from Justin Worley in the first quarter.
Branisel and Smith became the third and fourth true freshmen to hit paydirt in 2013, following in the footsteps of Cameron Sutton and Devaun Swafford, who each returned interceptions for scores.
The last time Tennessee had two true freshmen with touchdown receptions was on Nov. 6, 2010, when Justin Hunter and Da'Rick Rogers accomplished that feat.
RIDING THE RUSHING GAME Tennessee rushed for 188 yards and a touchdown on 22 carries in the first half and finished the game with 278 yards and two TDs on 37 carries.
Butch Jones' record when his teams rush for 150 yards in a game improved to 40-8 (3-1 at UT) while the numbers are 26-2 (3-0) for 200 and 16-1 (3-0) for 250.
After tallying 102 yards on 13 carries in the first half, Rajion Neal finished with a career-high 169 yards and a touchdown on 25 carries with a long of 53.
Neal's effort was the highest individual rushing total since Montario Hardesty piled up 179 yards vs. Kentucky in 2009.
Combined with 14 yards on three receptions, Neal accumulated a career-best 183 all-purpose yards
Neal recorded his second 100-yard rushing game of the season and the fourth of his career.
He also tied his high for rushing TDs in a season with five and now has 12 for his career.
Marlin Lane carried for 66 yards and a TD on only five carries.
Rushes of 54 yards by Lane and 53 by Neal marked the first time the Vols had two carries of 50+ yards in the same game since Cedric Houston notched carries of 54 and 65 at South Carolina on Oct. 30, 2004.
The last time two different Vols had rushes of 50 or more yards in one game came on Nov. 18, 2000 vs. Kentucky when Travis Stephens had a carry for 80 and Travis Henry toted one for a 53-yard gain.
REVERSALS OF FORTUNE After the first quarter, South Alabama had outgained Tennessee in total yardage, 132-109. USA actually won the yardage race in three of four periods.
At the end of 60 minutes, though, the Vols had the upper hand, 482-412.
The Vols dominated the yardage battle in the second stanza, outgaining USA, 229-19, to take a 24-7 lead into the locker room.
In the third period, the Jaguars regained control, taking a 133-79 advantage in total yardage.
The fourth quarter yardage battle belonged to the Jags once again, 128-65.
WORLEY UNDER CENTER Junior quarterback Justin Worley returned to the starting lineup, getting his fourth start this season and seventh in his career.
Worley had season highs for attempts (36), completions (20) and yards (204) vs. South Alabama.
His total for attempts also was a career high, while the number of completions ranked second behind his effort vs. Middle Tennessee in 2011 (23-32, 291). His yardage total was third behind MTSU and Arkansas (208 in 2011).
Worley threw two TD passes to run his season total to eight and his career tally to nine.
Worley had a two-yard TD pass to freshman tight end A.J. Branisel in first quarter.
He added a 29-yard toss to freshman receiver Josh Smith in the second stanza.
Worley also threw three interceptions on the afternoon.
DEFENSIVELY SPEAKING Freshman cornerback Cameron Sutton broke up a career-high three passes and was in on seven stops, including one for a loss of five yards.
Redshirt freshman strong safety Brian Randolph was in on a career-high-tying 12 tackles and had a game-saving interception in the end zone with 1:51 remaining in the contest.
It marked Randolph's second-straight game with double figures in tackles and his third overall. Randolph posted 11 stops vs. Fla. last week and had 12 vs. Kentucky on Nov. 26, 2011.
Senior defensive end Corey Miller came up with Tennessee's only sack of the day, giving him a career season-best of two in 2013. He posted single sacks in 2010, 2011 and 2012.
Junior linebacker A.J. Johnson and redshirt junior defensive back JaRon Toney recorded eight tackles apiece. It was a season high for Toney.
With five assisted tackles vs. South Alabama, Johnson moved out of a tie with Steve Poole (131, 1973-75) into seventh on UT's all-time assisted tackles list with 136. He is two shy of catching John Wagster (138, 1970-72).
Tennessee finished the day with only one sack, but the Vols had nine quarterback hurries, with Brent Brewer and Dontavis Sapp leading the way with two each.
PALARDY HANDLING ALL OF THE CHORES Michael Palardy continues to handle all of Tennessee's punting and kicking chores.
Palardy boomed a 50-yard first-quarter punt that UT covered and brought the returner down at the 15.
He added a 51-yard punt in the third frame and had a punt go out inside the 20 in the fourth quarter.
Palardy now has five punts of 50 yards or more and eight downed inside the 20 this season.
The senior kicked a 40-yard field goal in the first quarter and missed a 52-yarder in the fourth and now is 4 of 5 on the season and 27 of 38 in his career.
Palardy stands at 4 of 10 in his career on field goal tries of 40 or more yards and is 2 of 3 this season.
In PATs, Palardy was 4 of 4 on the day, improving to 21 of 21 this season and 96 of 101 for his career.
Palardy registered four touchbacks on kickoffs vs. South Alabama.
WHAT ARE THOSE GREEN PATCHES? Tennessee's coaches wore green patches on their polo shirts at Saturday's game, commemorating their repeat participation in the annual Coach To Cure MD weekend.
The initiative is part of the Parent Project Muscular Dystrophy effort in bringing awareness about Duchenne disease and "Leading The Fight To End Duchenne."

text: Dickies jumpsuit #2 arrived today and it is a different and thicker material than my first one but I'll have to make due until after Halloween. I need a pattern for the pouches and shin pockets. I have searched this site and cant find one other than what was posted about Bradleys site. I think it was mentioned on here that they were too small. Any ideas? Maybe I should just use the small patterns because I'm a whole 5'7''?

An extended mag follower is available that retains the 10 rd. capacity but extends to hold the slide back after the last round which can prevent damage due to dry firing if you lose count.

Work begins on "Captain America"
(Downtown) - Cleveland has become Hollywood as work begins on the new Captain American film.
Because of movie making, there are some temporary road closures and alternate routes downtown. Rockwell, from East 9th, to East 4th was blocked off this weekend.
Film crew members can be seen walking about preparing the area for fliming. There are large trailers, booms and other equipment in place. Security is there director traffic and pedestrians away from those blocks.
Among those checking out the scene were two visitors from Santiago, Chile, who told Newsradio WTAM 1100 that they visited the site to see if there were any stars, and if they could be paid extras. Security asked to the leave the area.
The production company is paying for additional police officers and traffic controllers to supplement the standard traffic detail for rush hours, special events and routine travel and to ensure that the coordinated effort is effectively assisting traffic flow.
Primary among the road closures and alternate routes will be Cleveland's West Shoreway, which will be closed (east and west bound) from Lake Avenue to E. 9th Street from May 30th through June 14th.
Edgewater Park and the marinas north of the Shoreway will be accessed via West 49th St. Vehicles exiting Edgewater Park and the marinas will be directed out through the closed Westbound lanes of the Shoreway back to West 49th Street.
Other street closures and re-routing will occur in Downtown Cleveland, primarily between May 19th and June 14th. Additional closures may occur between June 14th and June 28th.

'"I don't know about the other guys, but in my mind it's still fresh," said Kotalik, who scored on a penalty shot with 42 seconds left in the game, his fifth goal in as many games. "(Every) time I see Carolina on the other side it's something you can't forget, being knocked out in a Game 7." "Every time we play them it's something we think about," Sabres forward Jason Pominville said. "We still have that in the back of our minds."'

Arsène Wenger has hailed Lionel Messi after the Barcelona forward broke Gerd Muller's record for goals scored in a calendar year.
Messi scored his 85th and 86th goals of 2012 in Sunday's 2-1 win against Real Betis to move clear of the 85 netted by Muller in 1972.
Wenger was full of praise for Messi, and admits he never thought Muller's haul would be bettered.
"With the biggest imagination, I would not have thought somebody would be capable to do that," he told Arsenal Player.
"Congratulations to Messi. He is just mesmerising. What he is doing is unbelievable.
"It looks so easy to score, and we are all tempted to say 'Let's walk on this pitch and score goals', because it looks so easy when he does it. When you have played football, you know how difficult it is to score one goal.
"To think that one player can score 86 per year, if you think you play nine and a half months, it's nearly 10 goals guaranteed per month. When you start the month, you know this boy will give you 10 goals. It's not bad!"

Top-Seeded Phoenix Aims to Repeat as Horizon League Champion
By: Ryan Hartwig (@RyanHartwig)
GREEN BAY, Wis. GreenBayPhoenix.com) – One year removed from winning the program's first Horizon League tournament title and earning its first trip to the NCAA Tournament, the Green Bay men's tennis team enters this weekend's 2013 Horizon League Championship in Indianapolis as the No. 1 seed and the favorite to repeat as champion.
The top-seeded Phoenix, which claimed the program's first regular-season conference crown this year with a perfect 6-0 league record, earned a bye to the semifinals and will play the winner of fourth-seeded Wright State and fifth-seeded UIC on Saturday morning at 9:30 a.m. CT at North Central High School. The championship game is slated for Sunday morning at 8 a.m. CT.
To view the full 2013 Horizon League Men's Tennis Championship bracket, click here.
Under the direction of fifth-year head coach Mark Thomas, Green Bay finished its 2013 regular season with an impressive 16-6 overall record and enters the Horizon League Championship having won nine of its last 11 matches, including each of the last seven. The 16 wins are tied for the second-most in school history, behind only last season's record-setting 19-win total.
In addition to its unblemished league record, the Phoenix is a perfect 5-0 in home matches and 5-1 in neutral-site contests in 2013. Four of the team's six losses came to nationally-ranked opponents on the road (#43 Drake, #71 Purdue, #70 Wisconsin, and #72 Stetson).
Green Bay has benefitted from dominant singles play throughout the season, led by Horizon League Player of the Year candidate Michael Tenzer (Neuried, Germany). The sophomore, who was a first-team selection as a freshman in 2012, is 15-3 in singles competition, including 13-3 from the No. 1 spot. Tenzer owns a perfect 6-0 record against Horizon League opponents and is 9-1 in his last 10 contests.
Newcomers Howard Scott (Exeter, England) and Rowan Isaaks (London, England) also have perfect 6-0 league records at No. 5 and No. 6 singles, respectively, and senior Craig Cox (Surrey, England) is 5-1 at No. 3. In all, the Phoenix has a remarkable 31-5 singles record against conference opponents.
In doubles action, the senior duo of Cox and Erik Finkenbrink (Duelmen, Germany) lead the Phoenix from the No. 1 spot, holding a 12-7 overall record. Tenzer and freshman Joey Leto (Downers Grove, Ill.) have also been solid at No. 3 doubles, finishing the regular season 10-3.
Green Bay entered the year as the league's unanimous favorite, picking up all six first-place votes in January's Horizon League preseason poll. The Phoenix finished the 2012 campaign 19-7 overall and 6-1 in conference play, defeating four-time defending champion Cleveland State in the Horizon League title match before wrapping up its season with a hard-fought loss at No. 7 Pepperdine in Malibu, Calif., in the NCAA Tournament.
Green Bay defeated both of its potential semifinal opponents during the regular season, first knocking off UIC 6-1 in Chicago on March 30 before defeating Wright State 5-2 on April 13 at Western Racquet and Fitness Club. The No. 5 Flames enter the tournament with a 6-14 overall record and a 2-4 mark in the Horizon League, while the No. 4 Raiders – last season's No. 1 seed – are 12-12 overall and 4-4 in league play.
Fans can follow the Phoenix at the 2013 Horizon League Championship in Indianapolis with continuing coverage on GreenBayPhoenix.com, the Horizon League Network and social media. Recaps, results, photos and videos will be on GreenBayPhoenix.com following each match, and live updates will be posted throughout the tournament on the team's Twitter and Facebook pages.

What's an anniversary without gifts? A sucky one that's what it is, hahahaha.
This year we went totally techie and bought each other a joint gift, yes we did. So here is what we got each other together for us:
1) LG 3D TV. Oh yes you read that right, 3D. It's OUT OF THIS WORLD.
Little Buddha could not stop saying:" Look Mama, the movie is coming into the house!" And asked her Grandma: "Do you know what 3D means? It means the movie is in the house" Looking all smart and knowing. YES , Buddha is going to carry the family techie torch.
It;s a thing of beauty. And the sound is unbelievable.
So we decided we'll buy these and not get each other any other gifts. But Baba 7aki being the sneaky guy he is went and bought me the most COOLEST headphones EVER!!!
3) Panasonic retro headphones.
They are gorgeous.
Usually I am the one who tricks Baba 7aki, but this time he managed to surprise me 🙂 .
So yeah, one nice 11 year wedding anniversary full of unnecessary consumption; just the way I like it. Eheheheheheh.

Carlos Carrasco suspended 8 games
CLEVELAND -- Another dangerous pitch has Carlos Carrasco in trouble again.
The Cleveland Indians pitcher was suspended for eight games by Major League Baseball on Friday for "intentionally throwing" at New York's Kevin Youkilis, the right-hander's second penalty in two years for aiming at a hitter.
Carrasco had just completed serving a five-game suspension for a fastball thrown at Kansas City's Billy Butler in 2011 when he drilled Youkilis with a high-and-too-tight fastball in the fourth inning of the Yankees' 14-1 win on Tuesday, moments after giving up a two-run homer to Robinson Cano.
MLB officials appeared to take Carrasco's history into account with the punishment, which included a $3,000 fine. Carrasco was optioned to Triple-A Columbus on Wednesday and will not start serving the suspension until his recall. He was expected to ask the player's union to appeal.
After drilling Youkilis, Carrasco was immediately ejected from his first major league appearance since Aug. 3, 2011. The 26-year-old missed all of last season following elbow ligament-replacement surgery.
After the game, an emotional Carrasco apologized and said he slipped on the pitch that nailed Youkilis on the left shoulder. Indians manager Terry Francona said he believed his pitcher but also acknowledged "it didn't look good" and understood that the Yankees were upset.
New York manager Joe Girardi wouldn't say if he accepted Carrasco's excuse.
"There's not much you can do about that now," Girardi said Thursday before the Yankees and Indians had their game postponed by rain for the second straight day. "It's unfortunate one of our players got hit. Only he truly knows what he did in his heart. So for me to play psychologist or predict doesn't make a lot of sense."
Moments after Carrasco's suspension, the Indians activated first baseman/designated hitter Jason Giambi from the disabled list and made three other moves.
The 42-year-old Giambi signed as a free agent with Cleveland in February. Francona intends to use Giambi, who was a finalist for Colorado's managerial job, as a part-time DH against right-handers and pinch-hitter. Giambi's biggest role is as a mentor to Cleveland's younger players.
Giambi enters the season with 429 homers.
The Indians also recalled left-hander Nick Hagadone from Columbus, placed reliever Matt Albers on the paternity list and optioned Corey Kluber to Columbus.
Jason Giambi was activated off the DL before Friday's game with the White Sox.
Cleveland was forced to make several roster moves because of Carrasco's ejection. Brett Myers was brought in to finish Tuesday's game and was battered for seven runs in 5 1/3 innings.
The Indians also brought up Kluber, who would have been the club's seventh starter in nine games before Wednesday's game was washed out. The postponements allowed the Indians' pitching staff to regroup after the Yankees scored 25 runs in two games, recording 11 extra-base hits on Tuesday.
Carrasco won eight games for the Indians in 2011 before his elbow injury. He went winless in his last six starts, which included an ejection from a July 29 outing for throwing at Butler's head. Butler was targeted by Carrasco, right after the pitcher gave up a grand slam to Melky Cabrera.
Carrasco didn't win one of Cleveland's starting jobs during training camp, but the Indians had him on their 25-man roster so he could serve his suspension, which was reduced from six games to five.
The Indians acquired Carrasco in 2009 as part of the trade that sent Cy Young winner Cliff Lee to Philadelphia.

I am living in Southern California (High Desert) and am 30 years old this year and have decided to embrace my inner geek and let him out of his cage. The reason I am joining this forum group is to find guys and girls with the similar interest I have, and ultimately joining the 501st. I have had "the talk" with my wife and kids about setting aside funds and time for this has been authorized!! I would LOVE to start collecting materials /building /painting anything to do with my costume ASAP. I look forward to meeting you all and I'M SO EXCITED!!
