Fantastic headphones!
I consider myself very much a B&W fan having purchased the Zeppelin Air & P5 Headphones. Then, as soon as the P3's were announced I consider myself very much a B&W fan having purchased the Zeppelin Air & P5 Headphones. Then, as soon as the P3's were announced as headphones sandwiched in-between the C5's & P5's, I knew I wanted them!
Unboxing is typical B&W, the whole thing reeks of quality throughout. Once you lift the first part of the box you are greeted with the hard case shell that holds the neatly folded P3's. I love the way the P3's elegantly fold inwards & upwards proving that these headphone's are all about portability.
I love the elegant design of the P3's. Everything looks extremely well thought out & sliding out the adjustment Left & Right for that perfect fit is very slick.
Ok so how do these things sound? Well upon first listen they sound fantastic! They seem to hold their own on everything I threw at them with the right amount of bass, highs & lows. Vocal range is nice & clear & to sum it up I would say that the P3's produce a very natural sound.
I was thinking how were my P5's going to sound once I went back to them & here is where the extra money spent on the P5's show true. They produce an overall better sound than the P3's, are more comfortable on the ears with the leather & more coverage on the ears, but don't let this put you off the P3's in any way. For the money, they are fantastic value for money headphones, that are well built & sound fantastic. It's just that for the extra £80 spent on the P5's you're paying for a higher grade product, but as I write this now, the P3's have become my main choice for my go to headphone for everyday portability & quality sound. …

Just about worth the money
Firstly let me say I am extraordinarily picky about my headphones and I'm a violinist so I do have quite sensitive ears for small Firstly let me say I am extraordinarily picky about my headphones and I'm a violinist so I do have quite sensitive ears for small details, and I listen to a very wide range of music from bassy tech to classical so I've tested the P3's for most audiences.
Form: very comfortable. Rather smaller than I had originally thought, folded up they fit one hand. They undoubtedly look stunning and the build quality is unquestionable. What's more lets face it, they are a great fashion statement, definitely not mainstream like beats (which are wholly overpriced just saying)!
Sound: My first comment is that they are very very bassy. They're rather quiet and they leak a lot of sound. Would not NOT be suitable in a library even at low volumes. They allow you to hear stunning fine details in the music however and do produce a good sound. This means that they are really nice for high tones (classical music for example).
Previously I had a pair of £10 in ear headphones which to call stunning is an understatement! Personally, because they fit me perfectly, the sound was directed straight to my ear canals so they were brilliant for me.
Over all I would say they are very nice but I'm not entirely confident about the price. Perhaps £130 would be more reasonable. And yes I know I'm being very picky about them, but someone has to be. …

It was the best experience I have had with a storage company, Mr. Ray was very attentive, informative and even offer and brought me and daugther water to our storage unit. It was a very very hot day, and we greatly appreicated his thoughtfulness. Because of his thoughtfulness I will never rent with any other storage company again, but Uncle Bobs thanks, thanks again to Mr. Ray for making this a good day for me and my family, i will never forget it.Leaisa from Baton Rouge, LA

No, the Extended Service Plan extends the warranty to TWO years. I'm not sure if they do stuff like this in Europe, but (as an example) car manufacturers will offer an extended warranty to customers at the point of purchase. This extended warranty covers the vehicle past the original warranty period. Same with computer manufacturers. The computer may come with a one year service warranty, but they may offer other warranty options that would extend it to either A) cover service and other options (e.g. accidental damage, in-home service, etc.) for the original warranty period, B) extend service coverage for up to five years (depending on the manufacturer), or C) extending service coverage and adding other options for up to five years (depending on the manufacturer). So, no, this isn't a scam. It's simply an offer to extend the original warranty to cover another year.

if it is, it's mostly unknown then as mostly we get a standard 12 month warranty, may I ask where you're from? (just country is fine)
under European Directive 1999/44/EC the warranty has to be 2 years. However further research indicates a grey area surrounding the Sale of goods act which allows upto 6 years (with the onus on the consumer to prove that it was indeed a manufacturing fault). However the original point still stands that you are being offered a service for which you are already covered for...

Modifying a Corvette is a simple affair. Simple, that is, if you know how to add the right parts to your Vette-or if you count on an expert Corvette shop to "do the math" for you. Tommy Calhoun entrusted his '05 Corvette to Altamonte Springs, Florida's Next Level Performance, and he ended up with a twin-turbocharged LS7-powered Vette that twisted the dials on NLP's chassis dyno to over 855 horsepower.
Though Tommy's owned other cars that he's upgraded for more power, this is his first-ever Corvette. "I've always hot-rodded and raced most of my life, and I thought I'd play around with the Corvette a little bit," he says from his Chancellor, Alabama, home.
That "playing around" started with a ProCharger supercharger atop the '05 Vette's original LS2 engine, which boosted that 6.0-liter V8's output well over its advertised 400hp figure. But, Tommy was looking for even more power. "We took that engine out and put an LS7 engine in it, and put twin turbos on it," he says. Not just any LS7, mind you. This one is specially modified, boasting a Callies forged steel crankshaft, a special-grind Comp Cams hydraulic roller camshaft, and plenty of other heavy-duty hardware.
What kind of turbochargers are on this LS7-and where are they? "They're APS turbos," says Tom of the ones that he had Next Level Performance (NLP) install. "They're right under the engine, at the end of the exhaust manifolds. They don't use headers-they run off the end of the manifolds." Two turbochargers can produce quite a lot of boost, which is what the APS units do to the output on Tommy's LS7. He has three different levels of tuning for the C6's ECM, each with a different level of boost. "One of 'em is an 8-pound tune, that makes 705 horsepower at the rear wheels," he says. "Then I've got another tune that is a 12-pound one, and it makes about 856 horsepower at the rear wheels." What about his third tune? "I keep it under my hat-it's a hush-hush deal," he says with a smile.
More power coming out of the engine bay calls for upgrades to the C6's transaxle, and that's where Next Level Performance called in a specialist: Daleville, Indiana's RPM Transmissions. They built a modified GM 4L60E four-speed automatic gearbox, with a 2800 stall converter among the upgrades, which NLP installed in Tommy's C6. The rest of the chassis is either stock '05 C6, or later-vintage original C6 parts that bolted on. "Bolt-on" is a phrase that best describes how all the mechanical upgrades went in and on this first-year C6. "Believe it or not, they did it real quick," Tommy says about the time NLP needed to do the work. "I thought that it was going to be a long, laid-out deal. As far as the turbos, they did those in about a month and a half."
A similar six-week period was all that Burke's Corvette in Maitland, Florida, needed to upgrade this '05 Corvette into a ZR1 look-alike-once again, with parts that were easy to install. "Everything bolted up real nice and neat," Tommy says about the body modifications, which needed no "remedial" work to fit on his car. "They said that they didn't have to change anything, or do any cutting, sanding, or any bodywork to them. The body pieces fit perfectly." No wonder-Burke's used OEM Corvette ZR1 body panels, which they finished in the same early-'05 Precision Red that Tommy's Vette was painted at Bowling Green Assembly. Inside, other than a pair of auxiliary boost and fuel-pressure gauges mounted in a pod on the driver-side A-pillar, the interior of Tommy's C6 is all original.
Need you ask how fun it is to drive? "It's really nice and easy and fun," says Tommy. "It's got a lot of power. I drive it around with the 705hp tune." He adds, "It's got a fairly good lil' ol' cam in it, in the .600-inch lift range, but the car runs real good in town." So good, he says, that it gets about 26-27 miles a gallon on the highway, and around 18-20 miles a gallon in town. That's in a car that has already turned sub-nine-second times in the quarter-mile, with runs in the eights a distinct future possibility. But he does offer one caution about all that power on tap. "It's really dangerous, though, if you don't try to hit passing gear to go around anybody, because it'll turn around in the road."
If the 400 (advertised) horsepower that your stock '05 Corvette's LS2 isn't enough or you plan on upgrading whatever vintage Vette you have, Tommy offers this advice: "It's all according to how much power you want to run around with on the street," he says. "Mostly, if you want to run around 550 or 600 rear-wheel horsepower on a 427, you can do that with a cam-and-head package." Not only does he recommend the APS turbochargers that his '05 Vette has on it now, but also ProCharger superchargers, like the power-adder that the APS units replaced. "I've run them on a couple of my vehicles, and I've had good luck with them." But Tommy says that there's also one big factor: Money. "By the time you buy an engine and turbos, you've probably spent $40,000-$50,000 on them." he says. "It's all according to what people really want and what kind of money they want to spend."

This story is the second in a series of articles on Detroit Speed and Engineering's new innovative QUADRA Link rear suspension system. For those of you who have seen Part 1, you'll recall that we are going to show you that great handling, performance, and ride can all exist simultaneously-something that the old timers said couldn't be done, and something that we are going to prove with the installation of a QUADRA Link. The plan was to take one of Detroit Speed's test and development musclecars and compare performance and handling characteristics before and after replacement of the old rear leaf suspension with their new QUADRA Link rear suspension system. We'll show through true direct comparison, after a carefully designed series of track tests, that we're not just blowing smoke. Let the testing begin.
For those who might have missed Part 1, here's a quick recap. The car we're using for the performance testing is a classic late '60s musclecar, the car that every baby boomer dreams of-a '69 Camaro SS (co-owner Stacy Tucker's beauty which she so willingly donated to this noble cause). For our comparison testing, we've equipped this beauty with a new 383 crate motor, Fikse 18x8.5 front / 18x9.5 rear wheels and Michelin Pilot Sport 245/40ZR18 front / 275/40ZR18 rear tires. In the first series of track tests, we'll pull down the performance numbers with the original rear leaf spring suspension installed. After completing the baseline testing, we will install DSE's QUADRA Link rear suspension system, and repeat the same tests with the same wheels and a new set of the same Michelin Pilot Sports for a true comparison.
The original game plan was to perform a quick, clean surgical strike by driving the Camaro over to a local Mooresville track, quickly set everything up, run our performance tests, and drive back to the shop. While at the track, we'd run a skidpad test to measure lateral acceleration (the number of g's reached before the end breaks loose), slalom and quarter-mile times-all true indicators of the car's performance and handling. We'd then return right back to the shop, install the QUADRA Link rear system, and return for the same series of performance tests. Easy stuff, right? Wrong!
As test time approached, the local track became unavailable. Normally this would not present a problem, but since this is a series of articles with a firm time commitment (that I so foolishly agreed to), we had to scramble. After about a half dozen phone calls, no luck in finding a track, and no confidence in our ability to find a suitable test facility, we finally found the test location that we needed. It was a little farther away than we wanted, but it turned out to be well worth the extra travel time. Thanks to the kind folks at the Laurinburg-Maxton Airport in Maxton, North Carolina, we could now get down to some serious business. The Maxton facility has a closed two-mile-long runway that dates back to World War II. This runway was used extensively up to and during the war to train glider pilots. It was certainly long enough, but there was a lingering doubt as to its condition. In the end, however, Laurinburg would prove to be a perfect location. The East Coast Timing Association (ECTA) uses this location each year for their speed trial events. On a warm, sunny North Carolina morning, we loaded the test Camaro into the trailer, pulled out of the parking lot, and headed to Maxton. It was a beautiful day; everything was going great and it only got better.
When we arrived at Maxton, we were greeted by airport management, given some guidelines to follow, and were then off on our own to run the SS through the tests. Our team quickly got down to business. To collect our performance data, we used a V-Box data logging system. DSE uses the V-Box system for all of the extensive testing and data acquisition that's done on its new products and systems. It's installed easily and logs data that can be downloaded to a laptop and then analyzed. The system we were using can measure the following parameters: acceleration times, braking distance, lap times, circuit position, and lateral and longitudinal forces.

Julia Simmerer
Senior Executive Director
By 2014, 95% of teachers in high-poverty, high-minority schools will be rated effectively or highly effective.
Redesigning Educator Performance Management Systems focuses on designing and implementing rigorous, transparent, and fair evaluation systems for teachers and principals.
Outcomes and deliverables include the following:
Ohio's RttT project, Support Educators through Evaluation Results, is designed to improve educator effectiveness through the use of effectiveness data.
Four activities that comprise the State's plan include the following:
ODE and the Board of Regents, in collaboration with participating districts and charter schools, will increase the supply of effective teachers in the State's hard-to-staff subjects and specialty areas by implementing effective alternate route programs: Teach Ohio, Woodrow Wilson Foundation STEM Teacher Fellowship Program, and the Turnaround Principal and Teacher Leader programs.
By the end of 2013–2014:
To ensure that students in high-poverty and/or high-minority schools have equitable access to effective teachers and principals, Ohio will require teacher and principal preparation institutions, districts, and schools to employ evidence-based practices that increase the attraction, preparation, recruitment, hiring, placement, support, and retention of educators in low-performing, hard-to-staff schools.
Ohio's plan encompasses five key actions:
The State's accountability system for teacher and principal preparation programs will link teacher and principal effectiveness data to teacher and principal preparation of Ohio Institutions of Higher Education (IHE) and alternative providers.
The Increase Higher Education Accountability project includes five tasks to ensure that teacher and principal preparation programs in Ohio are held accountable for the success of their graduates:
Ohio will develop a comprehensive system for professional growth that supports and expands educator effectiveness with strong induction programs for new teachers, underperforming teachers, and assistance for effective teachers to help grow their professional skills and advance along the differentiated career ladder pathways.
Through collaboration with districts and charter schools, teacher unions, administrators' associations, and statewide networks, Ohio will implement the RttT project, Support Educators to Increase Student Growth. The following actions are part of this project:

Jamestown, Rhode Island | Village Profile
- Login to add to Favorites
- 0 Comments
We've all experienced the euphoria that washes over you at the beginning of a vacation to somewhere new — a little town or village tucked away in a sweet corner of the region. You pick up the real estate digests stacked at store entrances; you linger in front of the fliers posted in agency windows. At breakfast on the second day, you turn to your traveling companion and announce, "We should move here."
The spell usually wears off when you get home. But there are some exceptions to that rule, and one of them is Jamestown, Rhode Island, on Conanicut Island at the mouth of Narragansett Bay. This sleepy village presents a striking contrast to Newport, its bustling, high-profile neighbor to the east. With a population of 5,600 — one of the smallest of the state's 39 towns — Jamestown is both a residential community and a seaside resort that doesn't feel like one, even at the height of the summer season.
At the turn of the 20th century, Jamestown was predominantly a summer resort frequented by the wealthy, accessible only by ferry and with several grand hotels lining the waterfront. Today, elements of its resort past mix easily with its newfound residential character — helped, in part, by well-controlled waterfront development that has left large tracts of shoreline accessible to the public. One such beach is part of a two-mile trail system encircling Watson Farm, a 285-acre working farm operated by Historic New England (formerly the Society for the Preservation of New England Antiquities), with the aim of preserving some of the town's original rural character. Be sure to take a turn on the big swing hanging from the towering poplar tree in front of the 1796 farmhouse.
Across the road, the 1787 windmill near the Quaker Meetinghouse further attests to the island's rural past and its role as a supplier of the white cornmeal that goes into Rhode Island's famous jonnycakes. Climb to the top of the turret to take in a dramatic view of the Claiborne Pell (Newport) Bridge soaring over the East Passage.
The 9.5-square-mile island of "Quinunicut" had already been inhabited for thousands of years when a group of colonists purchased it in 1657 from Narragansett Indians. The first regular ferries began running less than 20 years later and remained the only way to access the island until well into the 20th century, when the Jamestown–Verrazano and Newport/Pell bridges were built — a development that some residents still mourn. "Well, we're attached to the world now," says Carol Todd, a docent at the Jamestown Historical Society on Narragansett Avenue, which hosts an ongoing exhibit about how the bridges changed life on the island. (Narragansett Avenue, which also holds the hardware store, post office, fire station, pharmacy, marine supply, deli, local bar, and most of the restaurants, is the cross-island connector and the heart of downtown.)
Although the bridges transformed Jamestown into a bedroom community for cities as far away as Providence and Boston, the island is still relatively isolated by modern standards, but only physically. New York Times delivery boxes can be spotted in front of scores of homes dotting the island, many of which are historic or older single-family residences on large lots, interspersed with newer developments.
If you'd rather rent than buy, try The Bay Voyage — an inn so-named because it was ferried across the bay to its current location on Bryer Point Beach, where you can all but pull your kayak up to the reception desk. The inn is a short walk up Conanicus Avenue from East Ferry, where Narragansett Avenue meets the waterfront and the Jamestown & Newport Ferry docks (be sure to stop at Rose Island for a tour of the lighthouse.) Spend the morning here browsing the boutiques, shops, and galleries. Sit with a coffee on East Ferry Market & Deli's brick patio overlooking the harbor, or grab a picnic lunch for your day-trip.
Kayaks may be rented behind the dock master's office for a paddle around the harbor or perhaps out to Clingstone, the famous, but private, "house on the rocks." Later in the day, grab an ice-cream cone at Spinnaker's and catch one of the many free evening concerts at the waterfront park. Complimentary on-street parking and the proximity of public restrooms at the community recreation center make it all easy.

load-on-startup Example in web.xml
Important points on load-on-startup element
Difference between HashMap and HashSet in Java
Blog about Java programming language, FIX Protocol, Tibco Rendezvous and related Java technology stack.
very useful and detailed explanation.
A good example of load on startup is spring's dispatcher servlet which is always specified with load-on-startup tag value:
dispatcher org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet 2 </servlet
It looks like blogger ate < tag , anyway I don't think you can put Servlet element inside another servlet element, you got to check web.xml DTD which says what can go inside servlet tag. but most probably answer is no.
Diyyana Kishore Babu:-
Hi Javin, one small add on point to ''. When web container started and while running, it loads the deployed web application, during this web container creates the servlet context object based on the information provided in web.xml file. Once this provided for the particular servlet class it give the priority order to this sequence defined servlet classes to load first then subsequent servlet classes has to load. For instance this is useful during context loading if there are no of frameworks developed based on servelts (Struts/JSF/Spring-MVC etc..), which has to load first and next during their dependencies at runtime.

Update on What's Happening in Dairy
Back in October 2009, Congress approved $350 million in emergency funding for dairy farmers. $60 million was to be used to purchase excess dairy products for use in federal nutrition programs to help even out the market and drive the price of raw milk up from the abysmal lows farmers received throughout 2009. The remaining $290 million was to be used to directly assist dairy farmers. Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack promised, "We'll do everything we possibly can to move it out to the countryside as quickly as we can." On December 17, 2009, Secretary Vilsack made good on that promise when the USDA announced that the $290 was to be distributed immediately through the Dairy Economic Loss Assistance Program (DELAP).
As the USDA explains, eligible producers will receive a one-time direct payment based on the amount of milk both produced and commercially marketed by their operation during the months of February through July 2009. Production information from these months will be used to estimate a full year's production to calculate the payments.
We're hearing from dairy farmers who have received their payment. While they're thankful for the assistance, by no means does it cover the losses they suffered in 2009, when the price of milk never even came near the high cost of production that farmers faced. If you're a dairy farmer and have not received your payment yet, check with your local Farm Service Agency (FSA) county office or go to www.fsa.usda.gov.
Going into 2010, production costs have decreased and the outlook for milk prices looks better. In spite of the rising price farmers receive for milk, those dairy farmers who have survived this far will have a tough go of it — already we're hearing from farmers on our hotline who have been denied credit for the upcoming year. Without credit, many farmers will be unable to plant their feed crops or purchase feed for their animals, upgrade or maintain equipment, or cover the daily expenses of farming.
In order to better understand the dairy industry, the USDA has announced the formation of a Dairy Industry Advisory Committee. Over two years, the 17-member committee will review the issues of farm milk price volatility, dairy farmer profitability, consolidation, and fair prices and offer suggestions on how the USDA can best address the needs of a struggling dairy industry. The committee is made up of farmers, academics, industry representatives and consumers. Two folks from Farm Aid-funded organizations were nominated: Ed Maltby of Northeast Organic Dairy Producers Alliance and James Goodman of Family Farm Defenders. The committee will hold its first meeting in early 2010 and it will be open to the public. When we have more information, we'll let you know, so that you may participate.
Finally, and on a lighter note (well, lighter in subject matter, not butterfat!), check out this butter sculpture from the Pennsylvania Farm Show. The sculpture pays tribute to the value that family dairy farmers bring to our tables. Moo-tiful!

Dairy Industry Advisory Committee, a group assembled representing educational procrastination, studying but doing nothing.ReplyDelete
Products of agriculture, so basic as air and water for our very existence are not commodities, but life itself. Farmers are well aware of all that enters into the difficult process for feeding our nation and yet the reward for their effort is many times a poverty wage for the small farmer.
The consumer is bombarded by advertising extolling the quality of the numerous food products, which the marketing attempts to convey the superiority over that of their competitor. These items which when the farmer takes them to market the food processor who buys them calls them commodities

Thank you farm aid for hearing us! We have been advised, that despite the fact our banker was unethical in his dealings with our loan,it is most likely he will succeed in taking our dairy business and farm (property and our HOME!)FSA also failed us. PLEASE continue to bring this crisis in dairy to light, it may be to late for us, but keep it up for those who continue to feed this county.ReplyDelete
With sincerest appreciation, Mari and Bruce Drinkman
If family farmers want to see why they're going broke look atReplyDelete
I have pictures of when I worked at Daigold in Boise, ID, sixth largest dairy in the nation, unsanitary transportation, warehousing & I reported kickbacks in transportation to Interim Gov Risch, now Idaho US Senator & current ID Gov Otter, neither would investigate.
I was fired after answering a letter from Darigold corporate office asking for information into theft, fraud, & waste & the letter specified no retaliation.
Is this what family farms want the world to see, is this the hard work you put into farming? It's your name on it, your milk, & if you allow it you don't have any room to talk. If family farmers think this ok, don't beg for $. There are pictures of a hog farm that make America look like a third world nation.
Obama claims he'll fight the decision by the courts over the recent ruling to allow more corporate $ through campaign finance. Where is Farm Aid? Come to Idaho, write Gov Otter, Jim Risch, & Walt Minnick who let Darigold fire me. If President Obama wants to fight for US like he says on the White House facebook, let's hold him to it. Ask all contributors, Congress, Senate, & courts why we're $2.2 trillion in need of infrastructure repair.
It's all documented proof & the courts allow more money to flow? Even a poor lawyer could win this case in court. If the White House lawyers can't win this arguement in the court of public opinion, republicans & democrats, there is something else wrong.
This two party joke we call democracy has been failing for years, only two running this country yet all we vote in the other party. One fails, vote in the other, fail, vote, fail, vote, & they both accept millions from the same corporations. No different than all star wrestling, good guys, bad guys, & the fans/taxpyers eat it up while handing over their money.
I was born & raised in a farm community, watched farmers go broke, complain, go broke, complain, & never ctach on, no different than the people, millions without jobs, losing homes while family is in Iraq & Afghanistan? Bankers, great minds get billions in bonus & we go broke?
Look at the www.infrastructurereportcard.org MA, the address I see for Farm Aid? How many million have our mis-representatives accepted from corporations yet we're trillions in need to get infrastructure to a passing grade, a B?
I'm trying to put together a web site to get transportation into the 21st century but I need people like Farm Aid to help. Can I count on you?
Just like family farmers, trucking has done nothing but lose money, Hundreds of thousands of truckers going broke while big companies get bigger, just like family farmers go broke.
Look at www.justice.org/violationsdatabase & tell me there isn't a problem.
Over 28,200 motor carriers, 200,000 trucks on the road with violations, conditional & unsatisfactory ratings by the same FMCSA that prints this. The FMCSA can't begin to police the problems. 4000 people die every year, over 80,000 injured.
If dairy farmers want $, look at the pictures on www.nextrevolution.net, rerun milk, rotten crap with your name on it, sold to McDonalds, Burger King, Safeway, WINCO, COSTCO, & more. Is that what family farmers are made of, lies like Darigold? I wouldn't put my name on it.

I have just heard this weekend that 4 farmers in the PA/OH/NY area have shot or suffocated thier cows with smoke. They proceeded to commit suicide the same way. There better be reform soon on how milk is priced or we will have no family farms. I have confirmed the one case. Check out wgrb.com for the guy who shot 51 cows then himself. It says despondant over personal problems but I don't think it's the whole story. I'll post again if I can confirm the others.ReplyDelete
- Strugglin, stressed and wore out!1:16 PM
Just one of my dairy crisis stories. Yesterday when I returned home from the hospital (getting x-rays on my worn out body) there was a rollback loading our John Deere skidloader. I begged the not so friendly driver to wait till I got the fellow, whom I've been working with on a payment plan, on the phone. The fellow from the John Deere collections told me I had till Feb. to pay what's due. This was Jan. 28. Don't I still have a few days? The fellow left a message on my phone around 10:30 a.m that morning to call him and see what we're doing to resolve this, that it needs to be resolved this week. This was Thurs. Don't I still have 1 more day or 2? I got this fellow on the phone, while the driver waited. The fellow said I would have to call John Deere, settle it with them, he gave me the number, wanted to talk to the driver. The driver said this fellow asked him if the equip. was secure. The driver said yes, the fellow said take it and hung up. I begged to wait till I got John Deere on the phone, he said, "got orders". Up the road went our loader, which we, 2 days ago put 4 new tires on, over $600. An ironic thing is that the driver got orders that morning at 6 am., the fellow at collections left a message around 10:30 am. I called John Deere, which has been good to us. I told her what this fellow told me and she said she would call him. I called her back, she said that this fellow said he did not tell me I had till Feb. I told her I am an honest, Christian and he did tell me that. I even played the message for her. She said the message doesn't mention February, besides once it goes into repo. there's nothing they can do. I can get the equip. back by paying what's due plus $950.oo repo fee. And I have to pick it up. I begged why, because I had no idea it was going to be repo'd. I thought I had a couple days to get the money, milk check should come the 29th. This whole thing started back in the fall when we settled on a lesser payment plan through Farmplan. The bills for them, I didn't know, are through John Deere credit. I thought I was paying on the loader for a couple of months. Dumb on my part, I didn't check the account number. Collections contacted me and we worked things out to send as much as possible when possible until about 2 weeks ago I was told I had until February. Could this be a money making sceme? Can they do this? I looked back on my bills and no mention of repo. This fellow is just plain lying and we can't do a thing about it. If we cause trouble will they get tougher with us? Can they demand the balance or take our equip.? We absolutely can not afford a lawyer. Kick us while we're down. We have honestly been trying to pay our bills. We don't shop, eat high on the hog, go anywhere. Our sons quit college, lack of funds. My husband works fulltime off-farm, one son is working parttime and we still are struggling. I'm tired of the surplus crap. If they would keep the stores prices reasonable people would buy more. I have talked to several people that agree. One mother of 4 told me that she has always purchased lots of cheese, but with the high price they had to cut way back. As the words of Earl Pitts, "Wake up America!". People need to be educated. Do you want our food imported? A fellow who works for the government told us that the governments plan is to support the top 10% of the dairy industry and import the rest. Looks like it might happen. This is our Country, it's time for us to run it. I'm new at this bloggin thing. I just happened to go to Farm Aid to see what's happening and what in the world can we (the small, family farmer)do. I welcome any info. that we the poor farmers can do. We need prayers, support, direction and some kind of moral boost. You think suicide hasn't crossed alot of farmers minds?? It should never have to be this hard for farmers. We are a very important part of our country's well-being. Not car companies, etc. Gotta get back to work, I've vented enough.ReplyDelete
- Anonymous9:51 AM
It is sad that there are stories like the ones above. We need farmers..family farms...Take a look at the countryside...empty barns...Values changing...Everyone should be concerned about where their food comes from...if this continues it will all come from corporate farms...Something needs to change...Farmers do need to be looked upon as heros and paid as such!! Not many people have the resources or the will power...to continue...ReplyDelete

The potential for making a ton of twist is merely a game of cubic inches and compression. In other words, the more cubic inches you've got to pack air and fuel into, the more power you're going to make.
Lucky for us, our favorite big-block hasn't changed much since its inception; it's what helps keep most of us well within our budgets when building a potent mill for the track. Combine that with what the aftermarket has to offer and you have the perfect recipe for making a whole lot of grunt with big bore, big stroke combinations. Since big-blocks already have the advantage of a larger footprint, piecing one together for the strip is a no-brainer and a guaranteed torque monster.
As with any serious build, setting the appropriate groundwork lies within the unseen players. Feed a freshly machined block the right rotating assembly from the get-go and the potential for power is nearly limitless. It really comes down to the prep and installation of bulletproof components for a mill, and it has to have enough guts to last and pull any old-school or late-model favorite to the big end. The biggest challenge is selecting the right components to perform round after round.
For this build, we went to Dr. J's Performance in Anaheim, California, where owner, Bryce Mulvey took us inside the belly of our 496ci short-block build. Inside, our key players included a complete forged Scat rotating assembly with a 4.250-inch stroker crankshaft and 6.3850-inch rods. To back it all up, we installed a set of big domed forged JE pistons. At the heart of our freshly machined two-bolt main big-block is a high-lift COMP Cams solid-roller setup with matching lifters and an adjustable billet timing set. Follow along for the complete details and the next time you see our short-block, we're planning to follow it up with a complete Brodix STS Race Rite BB-2 top end.
Forged Crank
Scat forged standard weight crankshafts are designed for street or race engines with substantially increased horsepower. Scat crankshafts are precision-ground, heat-treated, shot-peened, inspected, and micro-polished at Scat for superior tolerance control. Scat crankshafts are also nitride-hardened for superior wear resistance, have straight-shot and chamfered oil holes, and feature lightening holes in all rod throws. These crankshafts also have a large radius on all journals for improved strength and wear resistance.
