Reasons to be encouraged
Just eight players scored more and had a higher true shooting percentage than Gordon last year:
- Dwyane Wade
- LeBron James
- Danny Granger
- Kevin Durant
- Kevin Martin
- Chris Paul
- Brandon Roy
- Amar'e Stoudemire
That's a pretty accomplished list. Gordon is quietly one of the league's top scorers.
Top Bull
Based on win shares, Gordon was the Bulls' best player the last two years. It's that simple. He was Chicago's best player.
Rodney Stuckey
The Pistons are banking on Rodney Stuckey to lead them into the future. And Gordon will make him better.
Stuckey is a big point guard with the ability to get to the rim – much like Derrick Rose. Kevin Arnovitz of TrueHoop examined Gordon's impact on Rose. Expect similar results now that Gordon has been paired with Stuckey. (Although, I don't think Stuckey is as good as Rose).
Stuckey hasn't shown an ability to kick out passes when he attacks, but Detroit didn't have a reliable 3-point shooter last year. Gordon is one of the league's best from beyond the arc. If Stuckey is going to develop court vision, Gordon will help bring it out.
I think Stuckey has been asked to do too much, too soon. Gordon should be good for his development.
Gordon was the Bulls' go-to scorer against the Celtics. He hit big shot after big shot in that first-round series.
And he was 15th in points per 48 minutes of clutch time, according to 82 Games.
Gordon should help recreate the late-game swagger the Pistons haven't had since Chauncey Billups was traded.
Gordon grew up without his father. But his mom made so sure his home life was stable, he didn't even realize he was living in a single-parent household until he was 16, according to a 2007 Chicago Tribune article.
When he was young, Gordon acted much more mature than his peers. He wanted to wear suits to church, and he'd scoff at teenagers for smoking, according to that Tribune article.
Despite complaints about his contract, Gordon played hard for the Bulls the last two years. He'll be a welcome addition for a team that had more than its share of troublemakers last year.
Gordon is one of just five players under 6-foot-4 since Isiah Thomas who have a career average of at least 18.5 points per game. Gordon takes great pride in that.
And he likes to prove he can do other things most don't think he can.
Before the 2006-07 season, Gordon said his main goal was to get to the free-throw line more often. He averaged a career-high 5.4 free-throw attempts per 36 minutes that year.
Despite leading the Bulls in point scored his rookie year, Gordon averaged just 24.4 minutes per game (seventh on the team) because of concerns about his conditioning.
Gordon was second on the Bulls in minutes played the last two season.
There's plenty of reason to think Gordon is just getting better.
Reasons to be discouraged
There are far fewer reasons to be discouraged about Gordon. Although simple, this one is a big deal. Defense is half the game.
His defensive ratings of 112 and 111 the last two years are terrible.
He's smaller and weaker than most shooting guards. Maybe Stuckey can guard twos, allowing Gordon to defend point guards. But Stuckey hasn't shown that much defensive proficiency, either.
Besides scoring, Gordon doesn't do much else. Among the 42 players with usage rates of 25 (minimum 41 games played) last season, here's how Gordon ranks:
- Assists per 36 minutes: 24th
- Rebounds per 36 minutes: 36th
- Blocks per 36 minutes: 30th
- Steals per 36 minutes: 34th
Gordon will score. If he does anything else, it's a bonus.
Not perfect
Like I said above, Gordon seems to have high character. But he's definitely not perfect.
Gordon was charged with third-degree assault and disorderly conduct for slapping a woman who had just slapped him when he was in college. He performed 30 hours of community service.
He also went on a tirade when Vinny Del Negro fined him for being late for a team flight, according to By The Horns.
The last time Joe Dumars signed a 26-year-old guard who was an on-again off-again starter, it worked out well. That was Chauncey Billups.
If Gordon reaches Billups's level, this signing is absolutely great. But even if he doesn't, Gordon is better right now than Billups was when he signed with Detroit.

I think Rodney Stuckey is the next Jason Kidd and was a great pick by Joe Dumars.With Ben Gordonwill help his stock and he will sky rocket to the top as one of the top point guard in the game today. Him and rose will be neck to neck for years to come. I wish someone would of said that michael Jordan was going to be that good . cause the truth is nobody knows who is going to be the best or a great player. I think Ben will make Rodney better but the Pistons really need to put a better core around Ben and Rodney. They need to get a true big man and someone at the small forward. Prince is ready for the bench I loved him out college but he is not showing me nothing. Go and get Boozer And put Charlie at center then i think we are ready and get a back up 2 gaurd because utah will want to have Rip

I agree with "Mike" but I don't think we should but Charlie at Center that's not his true position. If we want to get the best out of him we need him at Power Forward. And I also agree about Tay he's just gone down hill it's like he plays without emotion. I would set the rotation like this Stuckey and Gordon at gaurds Rip and Charlie at Fowards and we defeinetly need a defensive presents at Center who that would be I have no idea but on paper it looks great with Tay coming off the bench.

Yes, Gordon will help score points, but the Pistons have always prided themselves on their defense. Ben's a defensive liability, not to mention his lack of assists, defense, and rebounds. Score 30, give up 30….We're a small, low scoring team now, stuck With Kwame Brown in the middle, hopefully Vilanuevea can take his spot.
Overall, it's impossible to predict how they'll perform as a TEAM. We need a handful of Bigs, because we're so undersized in the frontcourt. Tay's needed to step up before, but seems to be a reluctant focal point. He should be good for 20 a night, but hasn't pulled it off yet. I hope somehow all this mess will change under Coach Kuester, but right this minute, it's a friggin' mess. Someone pass the steroids over to Austin Daye please. Right now.

Ben Gordon must get quicker. In order to do it, he must work on his strength. Then, he will be quick enough to stay with the best guards. He seems like the kind of guy who likes to work on his game. If he has not already, Dumars could put the guards in contact with Isiah Thomas. He understood how to play offense and defense. Maybe they should have him talk with some of the Lions defensive players on how to develop a defensive mentality.
They also need players around him who play both offense and defense to encourage him. Tayshaun Prince does it. Yet, he suffers from the same problem. He is not strong enough to guard people like Lebron James effectively. He is resting content on his long body. Dumars must refuse to put up with players who are not into developing a full game. People like Ron Artest and Mickael Pietrus have tried much harder to figure out how to guard the best and score on them.
The Pistons also might want to think about bringing in Carlos Boozer to play the tough style of basketball that people in Michigan love to watch at games. If Ben Gordon is on his way to becoming the best, he needs to have other people around him who feel the same way. Either one wants to be the best or one does not. If you get talked out of it, you just became a headcase. They need players who will not be talked out of working on their game. People like Lebron James and Kobe Bryant are dominating now, but they still do not have a complete game. It means their teams can be beat next season. The Celtics are ageing and the Pistons could make moves to beat them. Ben Gordon might be a good addition to the team.
Man, I am loving this site. Great analysis on BG. I want to be encouraged by his signing, and really am, but I am little discouraged by the size od his contract. I would have loved it at $8.5-9 per but more than $11 seems high, especially when it really felt we were competing against ourselves to acquire him. (Was anybody else ever serious about him?) I worry about his D, but good character and a bonafide scorer/FT guy late in the game are strong attributes.

Angiogram of the Lung
How It Is Done continued...
When the catheter is in place, the dye is injected through it. You may be asked to take a breath and hold it for several seconds. Several X-ray pictures will be taken one after another. These will be available right away for your doctor to look at. You need to lie very still so the pictures are clear. Sometimes only one lung is studied, or the process may be repeated more than once for each lung. See a picture of how an angiogram is done .
An angiogram takes 1 to 2 hours. The catheter is taken out after the angiogram, and pressure is put on the needle site for 10 to 15 minutes to stop any bleeding. A small sandbag or clamp may be put on the site to hold pressure. A bandage is put on the site. You will be given pain medicine if you need it.
The place in your hands and feet where your heartbeat (peripheral pulse) can be felt may be marked with a pen. Your pulse may be checked before and after the angiogram.
How It Feels
You may feel a brief sting or pinch from the numbing medicine. Most people do not have pain when the catheter is in the blood vessel.
You may feel pressure in the blood vessel as the catheter is moved. Let your doctor know if you are having pain.
You will probably feel some warmth when the dye is put in. This feeling lasts only a few seconds. For some people, the feeling of heat is strong and for others it is very mild.
You may feel a need to cough but try to keep holding your breath until you are told to breathe.
You may have a headache, flushing of the face, or a salty or metallic taste in your mouth after the dye is used. These feelings do not last long. Some people may feel sick to their stomach or may vomit, but this is not common.
After the test, you may have some tenderness and bruising at the site where the catheter was inserted.
You can drink extra fluids to pass the dye from your body unless your doctor has told you not to.
The chance of any major problem from an angiogram is very small, but some problems can occur. In most cases the problems occur within 2 hours after the test when you are in the recovery room. If the problem occurs during the angiogram, the test may not be completed. You may need urgent treatment that could include surgery.
- There is a small chance of developing an abnormal heartbeat. This usually lasts only a few seconds and goes away without any other treatment.
- There is a chance of an allergic reaction to the iodine dye. The reaction can be mild (itching, rash) or severe (trouble breathing or sudden shock). Most reactions can be treated with medicines. Be sure to tell your doctor if you have hay fever, asthma, or iodine allergy or food allergies.
- Bleeding from the needle site may occur. Also, a blood clot can form where the catheter was inserted. This may cause some blockage of the blood flow from the arm or leg.
- The iodine dye used for the test can cause water loss or direct damage to the kidneys. This is a special concern for people who have kidney problems, diabetes, or who are dehydrated. Special measures are used during the test to prevent problems for people who need an angiogram and have these conditions.
- There is always a small chance of damage to cells or tissue from being exposed to any radiation, even the low level used for this test.

I'll miss Bill
You can listen to a podcast version of this entry.
Bill Owen was gentle and effective. In his day he was a major university administrative player. In retirement he was a genial presence - knew what needed to happen but never raised his voice about it. He was on the Board of Penn's Class of 1942 when I met him in my days as "Class of 1942 Professor." He and I quickly decided that together we would induce the class to make a donation to enable the renovation of the garden outside the Kelly Writers House on Penn's campus. It worked.We completely redid the garden - beautiful stones, a William Carlos Williams poem engraved along a path, new flower beds of locally native flowers, shrubs, and trees, and a great watering system. The spring there is gorgeous.
Bill died recently. He was not just a Penn friend of mine, but, as it happens, the father of my son's fourth-grade teacher at a local Quaker school. So through that doubled connection I got a chance to teach Williams' poetry to 10 year olds! ("Joy,joy!" as WCW might have said without a trace of irony.)
I didn't know Bill Owen well but I sense the loss of his presence. Universities tend to forget even very efficacious administrators, but I'll try not to. Bill ran the whole development effort here, was in Admissions for some years, and served as the University's "secretary" (managing trustees and overseers, etc.).
Please look at this obituary and try to read between the lines: see if you can the kind of person that makes so much of what we do possible.
Here's the Williams poem in the garden. Today it's for Bill:
The Quality of Heaven
William Carlos Williams
Without other cost than breath
and the poor soul,
carried in the cage of the ribs,
chirping shrilly
I walked in the garden. The
garden smelled of roses.
The lilies' green throats opened
to yellow trumpets
that craved no sound and the rain
was fresh in my face,
the air a sweet breath.
the heat was oppressive
dust clogged the leaves' green
and bees from
the near hive, parched, drank,
overeager, at
the birdbath and were drowned there.
Others replaced them
from which the birds were
--the fleece-light air!

being real
The Poetry Foundation web site hosts a blog called "Harriet" (named of course after Poetry founder Harriet Monroe). Currently Christian Bök, Stephen Burt, Rigoberto González, Major Jackson, Ange Mlinko, and A.E. Stallings are the poets writing entries. The cast of bloggy characters rotates. Last summer Kenneth Goldsmith was among them. On July 26, 2007, Kenny's entry incited a number of responses, many of them negative. Here is link to the full entry and the responses, and here is the first paragraph of Kenny's comment:
I recently gave a lecture recently to a group of poetry MFAs on uncreative writing, appropriation, information management and unoriginality. During the Q&A;, a student declaimed, "C'mon, man, be real. Drop all that stuff and be real, you know, artist to artist." To which I responded, "If you can give me a definition of what real is then I can be real with you." I thought to myself, wow, writing is so far behind other art forms in this regard. Could you imagine after a lecture someone say to Jeff Koons, "Hey, Jeff, drop all that stuff and be real." Never. No one expects Jeff Koons to "be real." Jeff Koons has made a career out of being "unreal." Likewise, during a pop concert -- say, a Madonna concert -- it's hard to imagine someone shouting out to Madonna to be real. No one expects Madonna to really sing, rather they revel in the image of her while listening to a pre-recorded vocal track. Would the "real" Madonna please stand up? For the past two decades, "realness" has ceased to be an issue in music, art and fashion. But in writing we're still expected to "be real." Twenty five years after Baudrillard, these poetry students were still prioritizing Romantic notions of authenticity -- "truth", "individuality" and "honesty" -- over any other form of expression. My god! Is it a case of naivety, amnesia or just plain ignorance?

Between smoke breaks, Jim Leyland anointed Fernando Rodney the opening day closer. This sounds like when you were a kid and you tried to pulled something like, "Pops, you said not to put on my bathing suit until after lunch so I went into the pool in my dungarees." Leyland is saying Rodney is the opening day closer, then on April 7th he'll call on Lyon to close a game. In other words, this is still a coin flip. I'm holding onto Brandon Lyon in every league I own him (which is a few actually). I'm also picking up Rodney on the teams where I have room. Later, Chad Cordero! Don't drop anyone that worthwhile for either of these schmohawks, but saves are saves and if someone's getting them, they should be owned. Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in spring training for fantasy baseball:
Rick Porcello – Big day in Motown. The Tigers named Porcello their number five starter. Porcello is easily my favorite Tigers starter. Let's see how highly we should consider that a compliment… Galarraga? Blah. Verlander? Bleh. Miner? Blech. Robertson? Belch. Jackson, Bonderman and Willis? Ladies and gentlemen, your 2009 Detroit Tigers pitching staff.
Please, blog, may I have some more?

As of Saturday, April 20, 2013

Gwinnett Daily Post
DULUTH -- Esteban Toledo says he replays his runner-up finish in the 2002 Buick Open over and over again.
The self-taught golfer from Mexico began that day just one stroke behind Tiger Woods and, playing in the then-No. 1 golfer in the world's group, matched Woods until halfway through the back nine when three straight birdies ended Toledo's chances of taking down Woods.
"I kind of learned a lot from him," Toledo said. "He doesn't know how to lose."
A professional since 1986, Toledo is still chasing that win.
"Tomorrow is going to be the greatest challenge in golf for me," Toledo said after carding a 2-under 70 and taking the lead into the final round of the Greater Gwinnett Championship. "I am looking forward for tomorrow.
"I am a fighter, I am boxer. I like the challenge. I go out there to win and play the best I can. I know if I go out there and play the best I can, I know I can win."
This is just the second time Toledo leads heading into the final hole of a PGA Tour event of any kind, the other coming on the Web.com Tour, something even Toledo doesn't remember.
Woods may be missing from Toledo's final group today, but there are still winners. Bernhard Langer, a two-time Masters champions and 17-time winner on the Champions Tour, is one shot back of Toledo after firing a 6-under par Saturday, matching Jeff Sluman for the day's lowest round. Langer came to TPC Sugarloaf smarting from a poor finish last Sunday in Augusta, where he was in contention until the back nine.
"It was a tough finish for me on Sunday and very difficult Sunday and Monday night to re-play the tape (in my head) of what I did and the tough breaks I got. I really didn't play that bad of golf," the native of Germany said. "It was fun being in contention, and I took a lot away from that tournament. That last nine I was very aggressive and I paid the price."
Though Langer compares Sugarloaf to Augusta, with its length, tall trees and hills, he said it's not as long and allows for lower scoring. He also putted well Saturday, making two birdies from outside of 15 feet.
"I played very solid the second round, I got off to a good start birdieing Nos. 1 and 3 and I had a good back nine, made some putts," Langer said.
Roger Chapman rounds out the final threesome as one of four players at 4-under par. Chapman, along with Tom Pernice Jr., shot 4-under par to climb up the leaderboard and join Mark Calcavecchia and Langer and 5-under. In all, 10 players are within four strokes of the lead entering the final round of the inaugural Champions Tour event in Gwinnett.
It's the first time for Gwinnett and the first Champions Tour season for the 50-year-old Toledo. But Toledo wants the most elusive of firsts.
"It's going to be exciting for me tomorrow. I am going to try everything I can. I am not afraid to win," Toledo said. "I am excited to win. I prepared myself to win. It's not going to be that easy. I will win one of these weeks. Hopefully it is tomorrow."

The 411: Sorry, no Chocolate for you
Welcome to the 411, my Q&A column answering all your questions about cell phones and cell phone accessories. I receive plenty of questions about these subjects via e-mail, so I figured many of you might have the same questions, too. At times, I might solicit answers from readers if I'm stumped. Send your questions and comments to me at firstname.lastname@example.com. If you prefer to remain anonymous, let me know in the e-mail.
Do you think there's any chance of Verizon carrying the LG BL40 chocolate? I don't get why a phone would be released in Europe and Asia but not in the States. Thanks.--Ana, via e-mail
Sorry Ana, but I don't think we will ever see the LG BL40 Chocolate offered here in the States. Verizon does offer a scaled-down version of the Chocolate in the form of the LG Chocolate Touch, but it's really not the same phone at all. If you really have to have it, you could probably get an unlocked version and try it with an AT&T or T-Mobile SIM card, but I can't guarantee you will get the phone's full functionality. Some cell phone manufacturers are better about bringing their global phones to the States, like Nokia and sometimes Sony Ericsson, but others prefer to make and sell a phone specific to a particular region, usually with help from the carriers. I'm sure that's not a satisfactory answer, but that's currently how the cell phone market works.… Read more

text: Buffalo, NY (WBEN) The Erie County Republican Committee recently approved a resolution calling for the repeal of the NYSAFE Act, and is calling on GOP committees statewide to do the same. "We support the second amendment, we support the right to bear arms, and we wholeheartedly reject Governor Cuomo's power grab," says Chairman Nick Langworthy. "We felt it was very important to stand up as Republicans and express this is a second amendment party." Langworthy is asking fellow GOP chairman to approve similar resolutions. "I'd like to ask our state chairman for a meeting so we as a state Republican party can stand up and show voters the Republican party is the party that stands for the second amendment," says Langworthy. He says the law is unenforceable, and with the tweaks already in place, shows NYSAFE is a bad law.

3T Ergosum Pro Handlebar $104.95
Cruise the hood and then drop the hammer.
Regardless of how much or how little time you like to spend in the drops, roadies who use integrated shifters can now attach them to the 3T Ergosum Pro Handlebar and easily adjust its reach and angle for a comfortable ride. This shallow drop bar's narrow radius was designed to fit brake-shift levers and allow ample adjustment with its slightly greater reach length. The aluminum bar provides a natural-feeling hood position since you spend a majority of your time there, but when you need to catch up with the pack, the ergonomic drops provide the stability and comfort you need for climbing or sprinting.

- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I set these bars up on my old Norco Rampage, styled like a sort of commuter/cyclocross style hybrid with front suspension John Tomac style. They are super light and sturdy feeling, and I feel confident really rallying the bike and rocking the bars back and forth, even on a converted mountain bike with knobby tires. I will eventually swap these to a road bike this summer, but in the meantime they are performing well and holding up to a giant dude bending and torquing them!

Looking at the Centerstage audience at last week's opening of The Homecoming, I was struck by what is arguably Irene Lewis' greatest accomplishment—diversifying the theater. The outgoing artistic director made that a priority over the past two decades, and it shows. Not only was the crowd younger than what you see at most theaters, it was racially diverse.
A Centerstage rep confirms that, according to a 2008 survey, the theater's non-white audience comprised "30% of our single ticket purchases, and it has been noted that the majority of our top-grossing shows, including many August Wilson plays such as Jitney and Radio Golf, as well as Ain't Misbehavin' and this year's The Wiz, have been African American focused shows."
She also sent along the following artistic statement that Lewis submitted as part of a grant proposal last year...
When I became artistic director 20 years ago, I noticed that our subscribers were all like myself—old and white. This, in Baltimore, a majority minority city. So I decided to alter our programming; in fact I set out to make a seismic shift by diversifying the entire institution. We began devoting a third of each season to depictions of the Black experience, for two main reasons: first, I was personally interested in these stories; and second, I hoped to build a sizable African American audience by helping the community feel this was their theater, too. I'm happy to say that—with much help and generous patience from key supporters—this seems to have worked out, and we're a more vibrant theater as a result.
That's for sure. And let's not forget that, during Lewis' tenure, the likes of Spalding Gray, Anna Deavere Smith, Eric Bogosian, and Carl Hancock Rux brought memorable one-man/woman shows to Centerstage.
Lewis leaves behind an impressive legacy, and she's also positioned the theater for a bright future.

Well, what can I say after a performance like that. For those who know me, I'm our resident Australian Bobcats fan. So yes, that meant I woke up at 8 a.m to watch that game. If you even want to call it a game. I don't even know where to begin to be honest, because deficiencies were everywhere.
Firstly, turnovers. Forced passes, stupid decisions, being too aggressive in the post. All these lead to turnovers. All these cost us an offensive trip. And for the Bobcats who are absolutely horrendous on offense, we need to cut down because we need every shot we can get. Main offender here was Captain Jack with 6 TOs. I understand hes trying to carry us, but he's forcing things right now.
Offense. It's hard enough without Crash, even harder when you have McGuire on the court. I'm not bagging him or anything, but seriously LB don't play him 20+ minutes. Give it to TT who is able to put points on the board in a short amount of time. Plus TT is a better defender. McGuire is only there for rebounding and hustle. A better defender than UPS? No thanks.
Play Matt Carroll. Seriously LB. When you need a guy to come in and hit a 3. Play him. He's a great shooter, its what he's paid for.
Overall Effort: E-
I actually stopped watching. I couldn't take it by the 3rd quarter. Was horrible. Stupid ass lineups. Either blow it up now, or send LB away packing. He was crazy last year, he's absolutely insane this year.
The Good:
- We didn't get blown out by more
The Bad:
- Where do I begin
The Ugly:
- Turnovers
- Defense
- Offense
- Crazy LB coaching
All negative, which is the way the Bobcats are heading. Not my finest piece of writing, but I'm sick to death of LB. Absolutely sick to death. HoF coaches don't play glorified scrubs for 20+ minutes when you have a guy making 8 mill only playing 20 mins a game. LB, please just go. Hanners or something can perhaps use this team to it's full potential.

I just upgraded to the V19 tools, but now I seem to have a problem. Sometimes (often in fact) when navigating a folio in ACV, design elements (containers, overlays etc) from the next page appear on the current page. So, for example, if I am on page 10, an overlay from page 11 will appear on page 10, overwriting what was originally on page 10. Archiving the entire folio and then re-downloading it clears it. But - once I update an article, the same thing happens again. I just came up from V18 tools, where this didn't happen. The super-overlay technique is not being used at all. Thanks M
Yeah, I moved some of the pages to horizontal scrolling only, and the problems began. Has this been cured with the V20 tools? It's very disruptive to the workflow as every time I change something and update an article I have to delete the whole issue and reload, currently around 100MB. Does anyone know of any fixes or workarounds?
Thanks M

Book Description: This book illustrates basic statistical concepts with extensive applications in engineering and scientific contexts. The book includes optional theoretical exercises, allowing readers who choose to emphasize theory to do so with requiring additional materials. The fourth edition contains SAS and MINITAB computer printout results for all analyses performed—plus new exercises based on magazine and journal articles and news reports. KEY TOPICS: A section on "Detecting Normal Distributions" (Chapter 5) gives readers insights on when it is reasonable to assume that underlying data is normally distributed. There is a comprehensive example on model building (Chapter 13) and emphasis on the regression approach to a Nova (also presents the traditional approach). There are two sections discussing principles of experimental design, i.e., noise-reducing and volume-increasing design, a section on "Total Quality Management" and coverage of statistical computing. There are optional, calculus-based theoretical exercises, and real data sets, extracted from scientific studies, are provided in an appendix. Numerical answers to all applied exercises are included in an appendix—giving readers immediate feedback on their work.

99 Cherokee new motor backfiring HELP!
So here's the deal.
I bought a Titan 4.0 short block and put on a reman head with new lifters, push rods and rockers. I reused the distributor, tins, intake, exhaust manifold etc. I put the motor in and after screwing around and making some adjustments and setting the timing correctly (I had it wrong and it would only crank doh!) I got it to start and run. I noticed that when I drove it that when I went to accelerate past 1/4 throttle it would backfire through the exhaust. Since initial start up I have replaced the CPS, starter, battery, tps and 02 sensor and no change, still backfiring past 1/4 throttle. I have also swapped out for comparison the cam position sensor, coil and PCM/ECU with spares I have on the shelf with no change. I'm stumped! It starts and idles fine and even drives ok to 1/4 throttle but when you push down further it sounds like its reving but its not and its not going any faster then it starts popping back through the exhaust until you back off . I'm at a total loss. HELP!! |
June 12th, 2013, 09:13 PM | #5 |
It sounds like the dist is off, which fires the injectors, it does not affect ignition timing that is set by the crank sensor and doesnt move.
unhook the battery. Put it at tdc on #1. Drop the dist in so that the rotor points exactly 3 centimeters clockwise from the edge of the hole where the rubber grommet is and the ears stradle the bolt. It should be about 5 oclock looking at it from the pass side I believe. |

The question "How do you shoot straight with an Apex" doesn't seen the have anything to do with a poll...and I certainly don't under the choices in that poll. Anyway, you shoot straight, flat trajectory, by adjusting the backspin control far enough to get the proper flat trajectory. Or, shooting straight, meaning that you want no curve but do not want the flat trajectory, you leave the spin adjustment set at "0". Which produces the standard smooth bore type of straight but arched trajectory. |

The marquee general-election congressional race in these parts this year is undoubtedly Missouri Sen. Claire McCaskill's tough slog of a bid for a second term.
But the runner-up race looks to be a burgeoning battle between freshman Congresswoman Vicky Hartzler and Cass County Prosecutor Teresa Hensley in Missouri's 4th District, just south and east of Kansas City.
With backing from Sarah Palin and the Tea Party, Hartzler pulled off one of the biggest upsets of 2010, when she defeated 17-term Democratic incumbent Ike Skelton.
With a heavy veteran population, the 4th District appears to be moving more conservative by the year. The non-partisan Cook Political Report rates the district as leaning Republican by 11 points and ranks it as the 62nd most Republican district in the land.
In 2008, John McCain carried the 4th District by 60-38 percent over Barack Obama. To label it solidly Republican turf — and Hartzler a solid favorite — would not be a stretch.
And yet, recent developments suggest Hensley has a shot. In redistricting, the 4th District added Democratic-leaning Columbia. Hensley also outpaced the incumbent in first-quarter fundraising, pulling in $248,648 to Hartzler's so-so $140,230.
Emily's List, which bills itself as the "nation's largest resource for women in politics," just announced that Hensley is in the fold. That'll mean significant dollars for her and a touch of baggage, too. Emily's List donates only to pro-choice women, which will not play well in some parts of the 4th District.
"Money-wise, it's huge," one GOP operative confided.
Last week, The Washington Post listed the race as one of 10 House districts that might prove to be surprisingly competitive.
Hartzler does stumble occasionally. At a town hall meeting last month, she initially expressed doubts about President Obama's birth certificate. "You know, I have a lot of doubts about all that," she said.
She also said something curious about China embedding microchips with detection or tracking capabilities in products sold in the United States.
"We need to have a new 007 James Bond movie with China as the bad guys," she said, according to the Sedalia Democrat.
But Hensley will have to demonstrate that she stands with gun owners and either opposes, or has major problems with, Obama's health plan to pass muster with many voters.
The recent fund-raising totals set off alarm bills in Hartlzer's camp. She's determined not to be out-raised again.
The easy comparison here is to Democrat Dennis Moore's upset win in 1998 over Republican Vince Snowbarger in Kansas' 3rd District. Moore also was a prosecutor, and he managed to sneak up on an unsuspecting Snowbarger.
Hartzler's a hustler. Something tells me she won't be caught off-guard.
