Comments On Apr 10, 2014:I have about 15 to 20 hrs on this piston and seems to be doing the job and doing it well.

Comments On Mar 23, 2014:This piston kit comes with the piston, rings and the wrist pin and circlips. It is pretty straight forward to install except for the compression rings aren't stamped for top and bottom and after some research I found that the black one goes on the top and the silver on goes underneath. I think it would be very helpful if this information would come in the box.

Comments On Aug 22, 2013:I always used OEM pistons with my Suzuki bikes (I own 3). I decided to try a Pro X since I read mainly good reviews on it minus a few bad reviews... which mainly included the circlips. Well, sure enough, the circlips are oversized and just will not fit. TECH NOTE: CIRCLIPS ARE TOUGH TO INSTALL ON SOME PISTONS BUT WILL FIT.

Volunteering in LIS – not what you expect
03/03/2011 § 29 Comments
Please welcome another guest, Katie Westlake!
Katie is a first-year MLIS candidate in the University of Washington's online degree program. Her future interests currently lie in library administration and/or international librarianship, but she's staying open to the possibility of being seduced by other areas of study. She writes about everything from library science to dinosaurs in her blog, and has just rejoined the Twitterverse @katie_westlake.
Here's her take on volunteering in LIS — Why it won't be what you expect, and why you should do it anyway.
A couple months ago, I was volunteering at the welcome desk of my home city's library. Everything was going fine until I was approached by a patron who spoke Korean and only Korean. After I spent about 5 or 6 minutes trying to talk to him and figure out what he was looking for, he finally managed to let me know he needed a translator (go figure). I consulted with a nearby circulation desk worker, and wound up setting him up on a conference call with a translation service the library subscribes to. She listened to his request, conveyed it to me, and we resolved his problem without much further difficulty! I was feeling pretty good about being able to help him, so when the librarian-in-charge came downstairs to check on things, I proudly told her what had just occurred, sat back, and waited for the praise to roll in. Instead, she looked at me like I'd just doused one of the stacks in whiskey and lit the thing on fire. I was then firmly told that requests like that should be sent up to the reference desk from now on, along with any other questions more complicated than "Where's the restroom?"
While I hope my volunteer experience hasn't been the norm, I still feel like there are a lot of us out there that truly want to help out the overworked librarians and staff of our library systems, but when we try, we're batted down to the most basic "Hi! How are ya?" duties available. Library volunteers are a fantastic resource, particularly in cities with a lot of LIS students looking for some practical experience in the public library sphere. Volunteering is often the only option for students who (like me) are employed full time and just don't have the time for a full-blown internship or directed fieldwork. I wonder, though, how often that resource is tapped. And if other people have had the same experience as me, why that is. The most likely explanation I can think of is that volunteer duties are restricted because of the endangered nature of many librarian and staff positions thanks to library budget cuts nationwide in the wake of the recession.
But there is hope! This great article by Norman Oder on LibraryJournal.com talks about how a volunteer corps in one North Carolina library system has enabled the system to open two of its branches to the public one extra day per week. And this stellar piece by Anthony Bernier serves as a call-to-arms for public library systems to take advantage of a willing and ever growing young adult volunteer group.
For LIS students who are in search of a more challenging volunteer opportunity, one that may actually give experience on the level of an internship or directed fieldwork, our options are steadily growing. Just the other day I received an email though one of my school's listservs (something you should definitely monitor for great volunteer opportunities) about a volunteer opportunity with L-Net. L-Net is a virtual reference desk supported by the Oregon Libraries Network and available 24/7 to anyone for free. Another service that began as a graduate course at the University of Michigan, the Internet Public Library, has plenty of opportunities for library students to get involved with special and ongoing projects.
While volunteering at your local library might seem frustrating and limited for an LIS student, it's still desperately needed. Volunteers can make or break a library system, and I'm really hoping to see more opportunities arise for us LIS students to really flex our muscles.
§ 29 Responses to Volunteering in LIS – not what you expect
Well, I think it's awesome that you were able to help the patron! Libraries can be so difficult to navigate, even for English-speakers, and patrons hate being directed from one staff member to another. How were you supposed to refer him to Reference with that communication barrier, anyway?
Megan, thanks for the tips!
Great advice! Volunteer experience can definitely benefit you in numerous ways. I landed my current job in online content primarily because of a volunteer position I was in at the time of my interview. I currently volunteer for a local archive, and it has really benefited me in figuring out what I'm interested for when I go to library school, as well as networking, experience, etc., etc.
Couldn't recommend it more.
I'm really glad to hear about all the positive volunteer experiences you guys have had! Keep sending in those stories – it's really encouraging to see how valuable volunteering can be. :)
Likewise, I'm disappointed that you had this experience. I don't understand this need for professional librarians to claim questions of a specific nature. If a person at the front desk can't handle it, then just refer it to the reference librarian on call. If they can, as you well demonstrated, then go for it.
Thanks for sharing this experience, Katie! Thanks also for mentioning the LNET opportunity for Oregon LS students. I do some LNET shifts at my job and think it'd be a great way for LS students to get real reference experience.
I also want to share my perspective as an curmudgeony old librarian: it can take as much energy to manage volunteers as you get back from them. Recently I was all fired up to get more LS students volunteering at my library, and a senior colleague told me that she only agrees to mentor/sponsor field experiences for one student a year, or sometimes even less often, despite her passion for mentoring–because it takes so much work from her. I have since learned she's absolutely correct. I had a very competent LS student working for me recently on an a great project that really needed to get done. But I'm not sure I couldn't have accomplished the project myself in the amount of time I spent working with him on it. LS students can be so needy (that probably smarts, sorry), especially when they aren't interacting with librarians otherwise–they ask so many questions, good questions that I want to answer, but I just don't always have the time to fully mentor them as the only librarian they'll interact with before they graduate. This student had no idea how to create an academic library-style resume or cover letter; he was missing so much of what I consider basic stuff that students should get through school or student associations at school. I can't be everything to a volunteer.
The project was great for him, and he did a pretty good job on it, but took a lot of energy from me. I realized I need to think of LS students who volunteer not so much as resources as they are service projects.
You are right that having more volunteers might be easier–if you're already training one, you can train two in not much more time. But without a formal volunteer program, this is hard to mentor a volunteer when I'm also trying to buy books, answer questions, and, oh yeah, write some articles so I can get tenure.
In regards to your specific experience: I suspect you are a victim of your competence. Not everyone who staffs that desk is probably capable of answering the questions as you did, and libraries sometimes take steps to make sure patrons don't expect too much from the wrong place. We see this all the time at the reference desk. One librarian helps someone out and lets them use the reference terminal to check their email or print a paper. The next week, that same patron asks for the same thing, but the desk is too busy. Then you have a really unhappy patron–and a librarian who is pissed at her colleague for having made the exception in the first place.
It's great to help people out, but it's also helpful for patrons to learn where to go with their questions. If the Korean speaker comes back to the welcome desk tomorrow and expects the next volunteer to do the same, he may up disappointed at best and very confused at worst.
The senior librarian did not manage you well. She certainly should have praised your conscientiousness–and then gently explained why perhaps it's best not to get into in-depth transactions at that particular depth, no matter your particular skill set.
I hope this doesn't come across as too scolding. I just think it can be helpful to understand that for as much volunteers give us, they require a great amount of effort and coordination.
(Also, and I almost hesitate to say this, but here I go: there's a really good chance that the senior librarian is going to see this blog (it's a very small librarian world), which you're writing under your real name with your photo. Will you ever need her to be your reference?)
Katie, I'm sorry that this librarian chewed you out. They really could have handled it in the spirit of your intent rather than as affront to "the way things are done". There's really no need to belittle anyone who is working to help someone else in the library.
Don't take this as a justification for their actions, but as a way to see it from their perspective. The welcome desk has an important role. You are the first library representative to meet and greet the public. This is crucial because recognizing someone as they come in makes them feel acknowledged and not anonymous. (This is why Walmart has greeters; plus, it acts as a theft deterrent when you take away that anonymous aspect.) This is pretty basic advocacy and customer service, even if it doesn't feel that way. You create a human connection in a world that feels like it has moved away from it.
The welcome desk is also a triage. It's where people can ask their initial questions and you are in the role of assessing them. Directional questions are handled easily. Anything that takes longer should be referred back to the reference desk. The reason is twofold: first, statistics on use are king for the reference desk. It goes to showing use both to the library and to the budget overseers. It doesn't seem fair to you, no, but the reference desk needs those statistics. Plus, they have the time to handle it (which goes into my second point). Second, it allows you to be ready for the next person through the door. You triage people as they come through. It's important for the reasons mentioned above.
To me, I like this because you showed initiative, problem solving skills, and customer service know-how. It means that you'll rock the reference desk pretty hard when you get to it. Those are qualities that you want in a reference staff. While your story had a relatively unhappy ending, I think it shows a lot more about you than the library you are helping.
What do you all think? I think Andy and "grumpy old librarian" have both made some great points. I'll probably respond in more detail later (at work at the moment), but I'd love to get some more opinions from the other side of the desk regarding volunteering.
And in response to your last point, GOL, I certainly didn't mean to come off as disrespectful to the librarian in question, and if it sounded that way, I apologize. But I'd still rather write truthfully about my LIS experiences instead of feeling compelled to censor out anything for fear of losing a potential leg-up. I feel like that's what Hack Library School is all about, after all. :)
I think if you didn't want to work with petty, bureaucratic individuals you should have found another line of work. How bad it is depends on the workplace.
Katie, you have made me less grumpy with your reply. You didn't come off as disrespectful. I was just thinking that you probably would have written it differently if you knew she would read it–but there's a good chance she might.
I've seen lots of LS students and new librarians opine openly on blogs and listservs and not quite realize how small of a world we work in. This stuff can influence how people see you. I've been on search committees where what someone said on a blog has come up. It's easy to say, "Well, I wouldn't want to work someplace where they judged me like that," but when we're looking for a new colleague, we're going to use all the information we have. "She complained about her supervisor on her blog! What if she complains about me when I'm her supervisor?" Etc.
As far as self-censorship: well, we don't always say just what we think at work, right? A professional blog should be an extension of our work selves.
I've way overstated this given your comment. Truly I am trying to be helpful and my comment was only meant to be a gentle prod, I promise. Sometimes we librarians have the problem of being too nice and conflict avoidant, which is a problem.
I would imagine that GOL's problem is not a unique one. Correct me if I'm wrong – but it sounds like a lot of the more established librarians are suffering from the part of their personality that makes them great – the passion to inform.
There's a difference between a mentor and a teacher. A mentor being more of an occasional guide where as a teacher is a constant resource. Saying "do some research on your own" is probably counter-intuitive, especially when, like she mentions, their question is something they should have been taught in school but the alternative is exhaustion. Mentoring volunteers, especially LIS students, could be extremely useful to both mentor and volunteer. The greater the number the better. So finding this happy medium between not letting volunteers do anything, and leading them through everything, seems pretty important. Especially in the financial situation a lot of libraries are in. This medium should probably be pointed out in a volunteer orientation.
Maybe a volunteer tiering system is in order!
Triage is an important function as well, and I don't think that's being discounted. But there's a pretty big distinction between triage and greeting. In this scenario the patron's problem did seem like a welcome desk problem. I don't know the specifics of his request, or of library operating procedures, but it sounds like moving him anywhere else would have caused more problems than dealing with it there. If it was indeed a complex issue once the communication barrier was vaulted, then yes, transferring to the reference desk would be in order. But I imagine that was not the case.
You're right, there's some really good points made by Andy and Grumpy Librarian. Especially: "If the Korean speaker comes back to the welcome desk tomorrow and expects the next volunteer to do the same, he may up disappointed at best and very confused at worst." which honestly, didn't even cross my mind when reading this post.
I think I have a hard time connecting the ideal welcome desk with the reality of where I work. We only have three full time librarians (that includes the director). Between classes and committee meetings, the paraprofessionals at our front desk are often left to answer reference questions. We've guided them in this and if the question goes beyond "Where can I access online databases, find this book" and lets not forget all the tech questions like "how do I adjust the margins on my paper, or format my paper for MLA" then they are referred back to us.
I think I may of reacted more to the fact that she didn't praise you and encourage you for being able to answer the question as well as you did. I'm sensitive to that and hate to imagine a budding MLIS student not being praised for doing something well (maybe this is because I only just got out of grad school myself). If she could of explained the reasoning as well as Andy and Grumpy Librarian did then it would make sense and it would be easier to understand exactly what your role at the desk is supposed to be.
Thanks for the good discussion.
[...] Hack Library School has a guest post up by Katie Westlake reflecting on her volunteer experience and LIS volunteering opportunities in [...]
I think GOL's perspective is common. I've been frustrated by how hard it is to find people who want a volunteer or intern who is pursuing the MLS. I initially assumed libraries would be eager for that free help, but I imagine some of our less than stellar fellow students have made it difficult for the rest of us. Perhaps HLS needs a post on how to FIND volunteer and internship opportunities with people who want us? That would be incredibly helpful.
This post, and the subsequent comments, could not have come at a better time for me. I recently (within the past week) started working as a page at my local library. During my first day of training, the library associate who was conducting my orientation repeatedly stressed that I was only allowed to answer directional questions (where's the water fountain? where's the bathroom? etc.). All other questions must be referred to the information desk.
"What if someone just needs help finding the lastest James Patterson novel?" I asked. "Send them to the information or circulation desk." was her reply. As an MLS student who will be graduating in a few months, I bristled a bit at this. Surely, she didn't think I was THAT incompetent did she?
As a result of the discussion that's been taking place on here, I now know that she probably didn't think I was incompetent (which makes me feel better I have to admit), but was simply following library policy. Thank you for that. I had no idea that policies like these were so common.
I'm glad the post and the discussion could help you, Laura! This can be a tough subject to bring up without ruffling any feathers, and I'm glad everyone's perspectives were able to help alleviate some frustration. :)

Upon his brow he wore a brand, And on his back, A thousand stripes for it he bore: His skin was black. One day he stood at heaven's gate, His toil was o'er. He entered,stood before his God: His soul was pure. James W. Johnson, class of '94. AN ATLANTA GRADUATE'S DEFENSE OF HIS RACE. Mr. Butler R. Wilson, a graduate of the College course in Atlanta University in 1881, wrote recently as follows to the Boston, Mass., Transcript, in reply to some reflections of its Washington correspondent upon the colored population of Washington and the South : To the Editor of the Transcript: In many of its references to the colored people generally and to those of Washington particularly, the letter of "Sydney," in your issue of Friday, Jan. 20, was incorrect and unjust. So accustomed are the colored people to find in the Transcript brave words and earnest, advanced views on all questions relating to them, that this letter, from its prominent sub-head of "The Southern view of those lazy darkies " to the monstrous statement that freedom " turned the most peaceable and law-abiding people in the world into the most criminal race in this or any other civilized country; and from being moderately industrious, into a race of idlers," is a very great surprise, and its errors and injustice warrant an answer. Sydney says, "It may be laid down as an axiom regarding seventy per cent of the Negro race that they will not work except just enough to keep body and soul together." That is, 5,600,000 Negroes consume all that they can earn and save nothing, and whatever of accumulation may exist must be credited to the remaining 2,400,000. Take for granted this estimate. Where does it lead us ? In 143 years, from the landing at Plymouth to the emancipation of the slave, the white people of the country, owning the garden spot of the world, rich in mines of gold, silver, copper, lead, coal, and iron; with unpaid Negro labor to cultivate it; with centuries of inherited financial skill, trading and commercial ability, business habits and inventive genius, and with an ever increasing population of the best blood of the earth, accumulated $16,159,616,068, or $505 per capita— $1.25 per capita per year. The Negroes, emancipated without land, tools, business experience, trading or financial skill, or even independence of thought, operating largely in a country devastated and impoverished by war, dependent for occupation in the cities, very generally upon whitewashing, chores, the wash-tub, waiting, and the less remunerative employments, and in the country upon crude farming without machinery, without learning, without capital, and in competition with their former owners, who were bred to the belief that the results of the Negroes' labor belonged to them, and which they did not scruple to take by cheating or other means, accumulated in twenty-eight years, in round numbers, $300,000,000. Keeping the estimate of " Sydney, " this would give the Negro $125 per capita for the time they have been permitted to work for themselves, or $4.03 per capita per year. The white man under the best conditions in 243 years earned $1.25 per year. The Negro under the worst conditions earned $4.03 per year. The charge against the colored people of Washington is very severe. The women are said to be less thrifty and more vicious than the men. This is a new indictment of the Negro women. In Washington they are laundresses, cooks, maids nursery girls, and sewing women. There is no more " pathetic incident in history than that of Negro women toiling at the washtub, in the kitchen, and as servants generally, and devoting their earnings to giving their home life the education and refinement which they were denied by "Sydney's" ancestors. And when he says, " the younger generation of Negro women though, are violently averse to domestic service, which, after all, is the only thing for which they are fitted," his animus is apparent. The wish is father to the thought. In the care taken to learn of the criminals in the police courts of the District, the many beautiful and luxurious homes owned by the colored people are lost sight of. In many of these homes fathers and sons are graduates of Yale, Harvard, Princeton, Oberlin, Columbia, and other colleges. The. mothers and girls represent Wellesley, the noted New England seminaries, and other schools for women. Many of these boys are in the pro- fessions, in the church, in commercial and such pursuits. Of the girls two hundred and twenty-two are teachers in the city schools. And " Sydney" feels aggrieved that those of them who are

Michael Calderone talks to The New York Times about that torture study, pretty much vindicating what I wrote yesterday:
Kevin Drum and Glenn Greenwald both say it's time to repeal Godwin's Law. Drum calls it "an endlessly tiresome way of feigning moral indignation," and Greenwald says, "The very notion that a major 20th Century event like German aggression is off-limits in political discussions is both arbitrary and anti-intellectual in the extreme." Greenwald writes:
I want to take a brief moment to go back to that independent panel review that concluded both Professor Henry Louis Gates Jr. and Sgt. James Crowley missed opportunities to ratchet down the tension before Gates was arrested.
Spencer Ackerman writes about al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula's latest venture, which is apparently a print magazine:
Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli, who has been engaging one culture-war issue after another since he came into office, says he doesn't think the 14th Amendment grants equal protection to gays and lesbians, arguing that "frankly, the category of sexual orientation would never have been contemplated by the people who wrote and voted for and passed the 14th Amendment."
Igor Volksy explains that there's something called "precedent" involved here:
Spencer Ackerman and Gregg Carlstrom both have interesting thoughts on this Mark Perry piece, which includes a "Red Team" group of intelligence officers in CENTCOM engaging in a strategic exercise in which they make pretty clear distinctions between groups like Hamas and Hezbollah on the one hand, and al-Qaeda on the other:
Wonder Woman gets a new uniform.
Need to overturn a legal precedent? Sprinkle some Brown on it.
The Last Airbender is going to suck.
The Haqqanis and al-Qaeda.
Tom Periello wants to be re-elected.
My old colleague at the Columbia School of Journalism, Adam Weinstein, has a great piece up at Mother Jones looking at the military witnesses the GOP has called to the Kagan hearings. A taste:
Yesterday I went on The Ed Show, which is being guest hosted this week by The Nation's Chris Hayes (who is doing a really incredible job) opposite the terribly smart Reihan Salam of National Review, discussing financial reform and Social Security. I'm assuming at some point this week they'll call Tim Fernholz on to discuss felony voter disenfranchisement and enhanced interrogation techniques.
An independent review panel put together by the Cambridge police to examine the incident last year in which Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates Jr. was arrested at his own home for disorderly conduct by Sgt. James Crowley is complete:
The situation at Gates' home quickly escalated when it shouldn't have, according to the review put together by a 12-member panel assembled in September. No one on the panel had direct ties to the Cambridge Police Department.
The conventional wisdom is that the Elena Kagan hearings are a bit of a snoozefest. People complain that the process is useless because nominees refuse to disclose how they might rule on particular cases. In fact, in terms of divining Kagan's legal philosophy, the hearings have been quite instructive. Kagan has been rather forthcoming about her legal philosophy, and it's one people should recognize, because it's similar to the political philosophy claimed by the president.
Spencer Ackerman, reporting from the Danger Room, says Gen. David Petraeus is having a hard time convincing Republicans he's OK with a 2011 Afghanistan drawdown date.
Russ Feingold is WRONG on the internet FinReg.
The Walking Dead TV show will not preempt The Walking Dead comic book.
Andrew Breitbart has offered a hundred grand for the entire Journolist archives, the now-defunct off-the-record e-mail list of center-left-leaning policy wonks and journalists that led to Dave Weigel leaving The Washington Post. The only person who could likely fulfill that request is Ezra Klein -- since the archive has been deleted, all that's left is what people haven't removed from their inboxes, and even then, that's premised on the possibility that Ezra never deleted anything. Anyone else would only be able to offer the e-mails they were sent after they joined.
Almost nowhere else is there such a tight link between class and opinions about cutting government.
For the GOP, there's no real benefit in admitting Obamacare is working.
Liberals are exasperated with conservatives' unwillingness to acknowledge fact about health care, and other things. But they'd better get used to it.

Cameras and Photography spotted in Tokyo, Japan
If you want to change your photographs, you need to change cameras. Changing cameras means that your photographs will change. A really good camera has something I suppose you might describe as its own distinctive aura.
-- Nobuyoshi Araki
I don't think about what camera I should use that much. I just pick up the one that looks nicest on the day
-- William Eggleston
Cameras are wonderful little contraptions.
By making photographs, they are tools with which one can express their personal taste and private sensibilities. At the same time they physically exist as expressions of these same concepts. The relationship one has with their cameras affects their approach to making a picture.
People who shoot film simply do because they choose to, and the Photo Culture of Tokyo is full of film camera users. When I meet them out on the streets I ask to photograph their camera, and usually post it here the same day. All of the photos were shot with a Ricoh GRDII. I trust that this irony is not lost on anyone.
These photos are meant for sharing. By all means, re-blog away. Clicking on the images will present you with a version 900 pixels wide to further enjoy.
I also take other kinds of photographs as well.

Favorite relay race of all time
Forum devoted to track & field items of an historical nature.
Favorite relay race of all time
Maybe there's a topic on this, but I couldn't find it. What is your favorite relay race of all time. You have to pick just one. anywhere from middle school to the pros. I'll go with the 2010 Asian Games women's 4x100 final.
Re: Favorite relay race of all time
I was 17 in 1960, and had just become a tracknut ( still am one ! ).
The event that has always stuck in my mind is the Rome 1600 relay, with Otis Davis outlasting Carl Kaufman in a WR 3:02.2. I think Yerman led off, followed by Earl Young and Glenn Davis than Otis on the anchor.
Re: Favorite relay race of all time
Would like to have been present in Helsinki in 1952, to see the 4 x 400 m relay final. To watch McKenley's great run (part of it on youtube) and then to see Zatopek enter the stadium at the end of the marathon, and the standing ovation for the Human Locomotive.
Re: Favorite relay race of all time
Dukehjsteve you've got the order correct. It was a great race that fortunately was on national television. Of all the relays that I would have liked to seen, it would be the June, 1966 4 x 880 New York City High School Relay where Boys High School with Mark Edmead, John Henry, Mike Randall and James Jackson was edged out by Andrew Jackson High School, with Julio Meade, Bill Jacobs, Sam Thomas and Mark Ferrell. Both schools ran a high school record of 7:35.6. The old record was 7:42.
Re: Favorite relay race of all time
Didn't see it, but the first relay that really intrigued me was from 1962, I believe.
UO put together a team of 4 milers--Dyrol Burleson, Archie San Romani Jr, Keith Forman, and ?????----and ran something like 16:08!!
(Don't have exact data or all the names, as I no longer have my T&FN from that year!)
But I thought it incredible that one school had 4 guys who could run under, or close to, 4 minutes.....just 8 years after Bannister's run.
Best relay of recent vintage would have to be this year at Penn----the women's college 4X800.
Record broken, great competition.
Best personal participation relay??
I took part in TWO 24 Hour Relays.....in which 10 guys each ran 1 mile in turn.
The first time, we did 245 miles and some yards.
The next time, we did 253 miles and change.
This was on the Humboldt State track in 1974 and 1975.
Some of the guys were professors---30+ in age!
Some of the best memories of my entire 30 years of running!!
Re: Favorite relay race of all time
re the above, w/o looking it up, I think it was 16:09, and 4th guy was Vic Reeve.
Re: Favorite relay race of all time
Just looked it up.
It was the West Coast Relays in Fresno, May 12, 1962.
Legs were:
Archie San Romani Jr---4:03.5
Vic Reeve-----------------4:05.2
Keith Forman-------------4:02.5
Dyrol Burleson------------3:57.7
Time was 16:08.9.
Bill Bowerman was their coach!
Re: Favorite relay race of all time
men's 4x4 final, Munich '72: no U.S. to dominate things and an orgy of fast and close racing ensued, with some insane legs.
Re: Favorite relay race of all time
I always liked the 1985 World Cup men's four by 400 relay in Australia. Great anchor leg.
Re: Favorite relay race of all time
Olympic Festival at Duke (i think) circa 1990, Men's 4x4, the four most evenly matched teams in memory..umpteen lead changes..could have thrown a blanket over the entire field on every leg....presumably US regional teams. I don't.know where they found 16 guys to run 45s and how they distributed them that evenly..
Maybe someone has the sources to look up the details.
Re: Favorite relay race of all time
Not a known race by any means (you said as far back as middle school), but I remember a high school Frosh California State Sectional mile relay, we were last or close to last after the first leg, during the second leg a couple runners fell right in front of our runner and he was able to hurdle them, by the third leg, the leader of the race was at least 1/2 a lap ahead when out of the blue the baton just went flying in the air and onto the infield. By the fourth leg, there was still one team comfortably ahead of us, but that guy hit a wall off the last curve like I've never seen and we won by just a couple meters. The most improbably race I ever saw.
Re: Favorite relay race of all time
Mine might be one that never happened....how about a 4xmile from the early '80s with GB's team featuring Coe, Ovett, Cram, and ?
Re: Favorite relay race of all time
Even better, (three) teams anchored by those three, and the last baton hand off leaving them all within a few yards of each other.
Re: Favorite relay race of all time
It's probably good to split these between races seen live, and those on TV -
Live - 4x880 in 1960, where the USA set a WR of 7:19.4, but lost to a Commonwealth mixed team [7:18.0] anchored by Peter Snell's 1:44.8. On a cold wet night Snell's run would have been worth 1:41+ in Rieti
A 4x400 in 1964 where a UK team surprisingly beat a good US/JAM squad in unusual UK conditions (100o weather) in front of a 35000+ crowd at the White City -
Tim Graham 47.0, Adrian Metcalfe 47.3, John Cooper 45.9, Robbie Brightwell 44.8 = 3:05.0
Billy Hardin 47.1, George Kerr/JAM 47.0, Mike Larrabee 45.9, Ollan Cassell 45.1 = 3:05.1
The shock here was Cooper (a 47.5 man) holding Larrabee, and the result showed US officials that it would be smart to have Henry Carr running the anchor at the OG that year - which he did brilliantly
The US women and Jamaican men setting WRs in London last year
On TV - It has to be the UK winning the 1991 WCh 4x400, and the Jamaican 4x400 of 1952, and on the women's side the 4x400 WCh in 1997 when Breuer went from 4th to 1st in the last 80m for Germany
Re: Favorite relay race of all time
Women's 4x1 in Munich 72, when Heide Rosendahl ran the race of her life against Renate Stecher, double olympic champion and the fastest woman in the world, to win the relay in front of the home crowd.
Re: Favorite relay race of all time
I'm amazed no one has mentioned the 1988 Seoul women's 4x4 - I thought that would be the obvious choice.
Re: Favorite relay race of all time
I could not agree more. That is the first relay I thought of when I saw the topic. That to me is the GOAT HS relay. Would have been awesome to see.
Re: Favorite relay race of all time
That is what first came to my mind, also. The relay decided the team title. And the botched hand-off caused the IAAF rules to be changed.
I also recall a College Men's 4x800 at the Penn Relays a few years back when 8 or 10 teams were in the mix on the last turn. Maybe DJ can pin point the year.
Re: Favorite relay race of all time
1982, Penn Relays 4 x 8. All time classic, the top SEVEN teams broke the collegiate record. Yes, you could have run under the old CR, and finished just 7th. Many NCAA all-Americans in that race too: John Marshall, Marcus O'Sullivan, John Gregorek, Julian Spooner, Randy Stephens, Stanley Redwine...more I'm sure but the memory fades. But great speed and intensity and the always great Penn crowd. And times that would still stand well today.
Re: Favorite relay race of all time
Speaking of Penn, and 4X800's........
I made brief mention of the CR run by Villanova this year, but Oregon also dipped under the old mark,
And the 2 teams were just 0.17 apart at the end of almost two miles of running!
The other woman's 4X800, the USA Red (??) team that ran 8:04.31, crushing the old AR by almost 13 seconds.
Not to mention that the last 3 legs were run by Brenda Martinez, Ajee Wilson, and Alysia Montano.....ALL of whom make up our W800 team heading to Moscow!!
Re: Favorite relay race of all time
can't say its my favorite but it is quite a remarkable relay - Didn't see it in person, only on the internet and horrible video quality at that. In 1995 @ the HS Cal State meet saw Obea Moore, a sophomore get the baton for his anchor leg in the 4 x 4. He was ~25 yards behind the leading runner who was a low 48 guy. Moore caught the guy just short of the finish, running 45.5xx. He later ran 45.14 which I think is a Jr record still. That would have been one of those jaw dropper / eye pop-pin experiences methinks. Was TFN cover guy Jan 1997. He had significant range running 10.4x, 20.77, 1:49.16 as a soph, and an anecdotal report to have run 4:24 (I've seen 4:19 reported as well) in the 1600. When he was a sr Muir won the Penn relay 4 x 400 - in 4:08.72. 48.0 lead, 49.8, 45.8, and 45.08.
One of the great talents to perform @ HS level. Showed great promise but faded into nonproductive paths.
times may not be exact (then again they might) but they are close. He became a legendary relay guy in So Cal and Cal ...and at the Penn Relays.
Re: Favorite relay race of all time
two standouts for me, partially because the Brits won i guess, but they were still wonderful races which encompass everything great about relays.
1969 womens 4 x 400 European Champs, the last leg between Olympic Champ Colette Besson and silver medallist Lillian Board. Besson holds a huge lead after going off at an unholy spped through the first 300m, but Board keeps her head, and with the last stride, overhauls her Olympic nemesis.
1974 mens 4 x 400 European Champs, not dissimilar to Rollerball, you could with some justification disqualified several of the teams for violations, and the 3:03.5 winning time did little justice to the talent on display, but it was unbelievably exciting, and Jenkins's anchor leg was the best run of his life
Re: Favorite relay race of all time
For me that one is memorable because it almost cost me my laptop last year. Two german Eurosport commentators were talking about relays and one guy mentioned how he will never forget the 4x4 of 91, where the brits won because their anchor John Akii-Bua beat the american Butch Reynolds to the line. I almost spilled my pepsi over my laptop cause i was laughing so hard.
Re: Favorite relay race of all time
i personally thought the womens 4x400m in atlanta was fantastic! so exciting, dramatic finish, would have been extra special if ogunkoy had managed to pass jearl miles, but it was nice for miles that she hung on to finish the womens programme with a win for america. she was under a lot of stress in the last 150m.
charity opara really screwed the whole thing up for nigeria when afolabi, and yusef and ogunkoya did an amazing job.
then there was grit breueur as usual storming down the home straight for germany
Re: Favorite relay race of all time
womens 4 by 400 in Bejing was hot especially the anchor leg between US and Russia. Also 4 by 400 in Seoul I was probably watching it with a pacifier when it first aired but have seen it on youtube and it is very exciting.
Re: Favorite relay race of all time
another rain drenched Penn Relays gem: 1987 College Distance Medley. Georgetown wins coming from 10-15yds back on final leg. 5 teams bunched w 3 laps to go.
Stahr makes monster move with about 200 - 250 to go, coming from 3rd to first, and wins by a stride. Georgetown beats Villanova and St Mary's with the top three all breaking the world record. GTown runs 9:20.96.
Trautmann ran the opening 1,200 meters in 2:53.1, Outler 400 meters in 46.9 seconds, Irish 800 meters in 1:46.1 and Stahr 1,600 meters in 3:54.9.
Re: Favorite relay race of all time
No relay with Tommie SMITH ???
Re: Favorite relay race of all time
OK, since you mentioned Tommie Smith.
I recall a HS Mile Relay Tommie Smith was in at the Fresno Relays in the early 1960s; he was probably a probably a Senior @ Lemoore HS then.
It was the same relay in which Selma (California) HS had a one-armed runner and that team was ahead of Lemoore! Everybody was waiting for Tommie Smith to get the baton; his team was woefully behind ... probably by about 90-100 yards.
Smith took the baton & as those who remember him, he began to pick up speed and cover more and more 'real estate' in very short order. One-by-one, Smith picked off each runner ahead of him until he came down the homestretch to win the race. Just an amazing leg.
My favorite race in general? Probably the LA City Schools 8 man Mile Relay .... 8 speedsters each running 220 yards!! It was crazy and competitive! Entertaining for the fans ...
But who wants to have events to entertain the fans, anyway?!!
Re: Favorite relay race of all time
That is one of my favorites too. Does any one have a video of this race or know where I can go to view it???
Re: Favorite relay race of all time
My german friend was telling me how awful the Ger Eurosport presenters were but that takes the biscuit
Re: Favorite relay race of all time
Another favourite of mine if The Queen getting "extra credit" for JAM 4x100m victory in '91
Also notable for appalling changeover from Heike Dreshler and the best 2nd leg I've ever seen from Katrin Krabbe

Re: Favorite relay race of all time
I have seen it on YouTube but do not have the exact URL.
Re: Favorite relay race of all time
At the world-class level, I second the vote for the 1972 Munich OG men's 4x400 final, especially given the host team's strong bid for a medal in that race.
(I love the question, in part because of the many fabulous HS mile relays I got to watch growing up in Gary, Indiana in the 1960's and '70's. The conference was a powerhouse, with Gary schools winning the state championship something like 40 times in a 64-year period, and so often a meet came down to that relay. Thanks to the OP for evoking that time for me.)
Re: Favorite relay race of all time
Yes, lots of great competitions between Roosevelt and West mainly. Add the former Froebel and what great meets!!
Re: Favorite relay race of all time
I love Heike, but even I'll concede that wasn't her finest moment...
The RUS v USA w4x100 at the next WC in '93, Stuttgart is my favorite. Privalova v Devers on the last leg. Privalova starts off in front, Devers comes up to her shoulder and seems to go past with about 30m to go, only for Privalova to *come back* at her and win by .000s.
All the more dramatic for the same thing having happened at the OIympics the year before, but with the opposite result.
Honorable mention to the w4x100m at the Paris WC in '03, for *that* last leg from Aaron.
Re: Favorite relay race of all time
It's really cool for me to hear someone from a different generation's point of view on track in the region. It's really different now. Theo Bowman is the only school that is halfway decent. But I definitely heard about the past. A kid from Hobart was great in 2010, but mostly the schools in the Indy area dominate. The Gary schools are bad in pretty much all the sports. Thanks for the comment, it really made my day!
Re: Favorite relay race of all time
93' was great but i was in the stadium in 03 twas amazing. Minutes before Eunice had just win the LJ on last jump and the whole place was in pandemonium
Re: Favorite relay race of all time
I looked it up. It was Jarvis McMillian who was state champ in the 100-200-400 in 2010. In 2011 he was 2nd in the 400 and 4th in the 200. Impressive! Anybody know about him now?
There was a mile state champ, I believe, from Hobart in 1978? Name of Leichty. That may be spelled wrong as all of this is just from memory.
Re: Favorite relay race of all time
OK, Howsabout the USC/UCLA Weightmen's 440 Relays in the late 50s?!? Dallas Long was no slouch, and Dick Bronson (Nat'l Frosh Record SP, 54'7", before his deer-hunting accident getting tossed from an open Jeep took out his left shoulder) was plenty fast. Either Rink Babka or Jim Wade were impressive looking, to say the least. But Dave Davis--who held the SP WR (62-something?) ever so briefly before Dallas Long took it away--was the true spectacle: so excited he did a full 360 taking the handoff, kinda like a bushel catch w/ both hands.
The Timers were likely too distracted, but the time was on the order of Ted Smith's or Bobby Staten's 440, 46-47. I've already posted about Bobby's 'run-out' with an errant pooch that chased him off the anchor leg at a dual meet at UCLA in '59 or '60.
Other than that, any Boy's High Indoor Mile Relay in Madison Square Garden w/ Mel Barnwell anchoring; or the 3 Smith Bros., plus Ricky Simms of Lincoln, NJ, HS at the same venue.

Comments On Feb 26, 2014:Put a set of these Acerbis fork guards on my 2006 CRF450x.(these are the CRF450R version in black color) to eliminate the speedo cable tab (installed a Vapor Speedo) They fit well ,except the tab that mounts the front brake hose guide. Due to the plastic being a couple of millimeters thinner then the stock ones,the bolt used to pinch clamp for the brake hose bottomed out before getting tight. So I had to put a washer behind the fork guide to absorb the thickness difference. Other then that, they look Dope in black.

Cruiser Bicycles Really Make Biking Fun
November 17th, 2013 by admin
Biking is an activity that provides you with fun that is healthy. It offers fresh air, great sunshine, and it is an exercise that is low-impact as well as safe. Everyone is able to benefit from this and it can be great for your family to take part in together. Cruiser bicycles are a great idea because you don't have to worry about small seats, wheels that are skinny, and too many gadgets or gears. This makes it a great idea of kids of all different ages. The ride is comfortable and the operation is simple.
Cruiser bicycles give you a ride that is comfortable and smooth which gives everyone in your family the chance to take part. The tires are wide and it helps to smooth out any bumps that you may hit and terrain that is rough can be traveled easily. Even grandma will be able to enjoy gliding through the trailer on her bike. The seats with this type of bike are padded and wide which makes them comfortable for long riding stents. You will have the right posture as well which will make the ride even more comfortable.
The push brakes on this bike are direct as well as simple which means that all riders can enjoy no matter what the skill level happens to be for them. The peddling is easy with these bikes as well because of the single sprocket. Climbing hills can even be an ease with cruiser bicycles.
Riding bikes is an activity that is fun and there are tremendous health benefits from taking part is this fantastic activity. It is not only enjoyable but it is also safe for everyone in your family. There is no need for anyone to feel intimidated because the ride is sure to provide them with great comfort.
The only thing you need to make sure of is that you treat the bike just like you would any other bike. Helmets should be worn for added safety. Young children may also benefit from wearing knee pads in case they happen to fall of their bike. If you keep these things in mind and teach your children the safety rules that apply to bike riding you are sure to find that the experience will be great. You might also find that your family time increase drastically as you find an activity that everyone can take part in and enjoy.
