GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
Westglades Middle School--we moved to Florida in the fall of 2011 and specifically to Parkland because we heard that their public schools were the best in the county. Registration of our son was very easy with affable and supportive administrative staff. They had a student walk with him to his classes during the first day which helped ease my son's anxiety with changing to a new school. Overall, I found the teachers very accessible by email and his progress in each class easy to follow on the on-line grading system. The curriculum is fast-paced and if parents don't have the time or inclination to monitor and tutor as necessary (and my guess is that most students do need assistance to some degree), they do provide after school tutoring for a fee. The one issue that I have seen is that it is difficult for a student to ask a question after class because they only get 5 minutes between classes. Trying to get an answer by sending an email may not be a timely option. I would recommend that each teacher reserve 5 minutes before the class period ends for students to ask questions privately with the teacher.
Teachers should be receptive of students differences and needs and more concerned of improving and making learning more interesting and exciting for kids. PE class should be organized, guided and not have all 6th, 7th and 8th graders together. If your child needs help or support in any area you will not find any support nor guide. If your kid is athletic or into sports dont consider this school.
Not a good school for children who need a bit more individualized attention from teachers and administrative individuals. If your child has no problem following the school's curriculum and can learn on their own, then your child won't have a problem with this school. However, from my experience with my family over the last 3 years, children who require specialized attention or have additional needs are pushed by the wayside by teachers, administrators and top officials in this school, focusing most of their attention on those students who require the least amount of effort to teach. Most teachers here don't have enough training to handle the needs of individual students who may require more attention than others, which is a shame. Every teacher should be concerned whether each student in their class is able to understand and absorb the materials. Teachers here are also not receptive to concerned parents who would like more feedback on their child's progress and who work with their children outside of the school. If your child has any type of learning disability, don't even think about enrolling in this school. They will do nothing for you or your child.
We moved from NY when my daughter was entering 6th grade. (1 1/2 years ago) We were coming from a higly rated district with exceptional parent involvement and an advanced music program. We are pleasantly surprised at the outstanding music program in this school, the quality of the teachers, and although any school could use more parent involvement, there is a good amount of dedicated parents at this school.
My son just completed his first year (6th grade) at Westglades Middle School. My wife and I found the school to be a safe and effective learning institution. We had plenty of interaction throughout the year with his teachers and found the school overall to be "Above Average" in all ways.
Great school the best middle school in broward and Palm Beach counties,advanced courses on par with the courses found in the North east. Good teachers and small class sizes.
i luv this school because is has vending machines, great teachers, great staff, its really better than my elementary school i give this school a scale 1 to 10 i give it a 9
My son just recently graduated from WMS and had three fabulous years there. Ms. Flynn is an outstanding principal in every area. She leads a great staff who respect her and the community. The students feel respected by the staff. There is a positive environment, which is so essential for learning.
This is an amazing school with a very supportive and dedicated staff. The academic achievements and the out of school service programs are paramount. The average student comes from an UMC family with quite a bit of parental involvement. Westglades has an amazing principal, Christine Flynn who clearly is dedicated to her school. A+++
i think the academic programs are ok. don't have much experience with the public school system. i like the school's environment in general and my kid is getting recognition for efforts on an individual basis.
WMS is an excellent school for the average to the high acheiving student. Overall, the teachers are excellent. Because of its size, it is not a good place for a student who may need more individualized attention and structure. There is strong parent support and involvement which leads to successful students. Unfortunately, though, I had to withdraw my student because he was not receiving what he needed. He does have a learning disability, an IEP and still was not reading on grade level. He is doing much better in a smaller class size setting.
We were pleased with Westglades for the most part. Teachers were good, and variety of class choices was also good. Administration was always visible and accessable. One thing they could do to improve is to enable the 8th graders to change their class 'mix' - that is have different classes with different students, not just those they have in their home room. The kids are with the same group of kids all day, as they are in primary school. The children would benefit by getting to know more of the other students in their grade before entering high school, as well as get used to changing classes independantly, not in a group.
Westglades is absolutely excellent! It is a newly constructed school and so the facility is quite nice. There are no portables and the technology is state of the art. Discipline at this school is no-nonsense, and disruption is pretty much not tolerated. There is a plentiful supply of extracurricular opportunities, and parents seem to be very involved. My child who just moved from Georgia is on an honors track at Westglades and is adequately challenged.

This is a post for Flash Parker and my Flash Light Photography Expeditions. Head on over there!
Last week I wrote about three basic, and very broad ways in which to improve your photography. This week, we're going to look more in depth at one of those; specifically, gear. Even more specifically, we're going to talk about thousands of dollars of glass, and where we should be putting our hard earned big ones.
Simply put, the lens you should buy is the one that does the job you want it to do. I cannot recommend exactly which lens you should buy, as I don't shoot like you. I can tell you that my Nikkor 85mm f/1.4 is one of the best lenses I own when used wide open. I can then tell you that it has pleasing bokeh. I can tell you that stopped down to f/2.8 it is tack sharp and very contrasty. I can also tell you that it is mildly heavy after shooting for a whole day, and that its screw-in hood can be a pain. However, what does this tell you? It tells you what makes this lens a good lens for me. Others may tell you that their Holga's lens is the best they've used. So what should we look at when choosing a lens?
Aside from checking your bank account and clearing the purchase with your significant other, perhaps the first thing to decide upon is a focal length. The focal length of lenses has a lot of implications visually; including compression, angle of view, and depth of field.
Firstly, let's look at compression. Longer lenses will tend to compress elements together, making them appear closer together. Whereas, wider lenses will do the opposite, making objects closer to the lens disproportionately larger than those further away. The wider a lens gets, the greater this effect. The longer a lens gets, the more the compression effect.
Similarly, wide angle lenses have a wide angle of view, and longer lenses have narrower angles of view. A 24mm lens will cause the subject to look much larger in relation to the background objects, and the wider angle of view will include many background elements. On the other hand, the 135mm lens will cut out much of the background, and the subject will appear closer to the background objects.
Another aspect of lens focal length is depth of field. Wide angle lenses inherently give deeper depths of field. Conversely, the longer a lens is, the narrower the inherent depth of field. For example, a 17mm lens focused two metres away from a 35mm film frame / sensor and set to f/5.6 will give acceptable sharpness between 0.9 metres and an infinite distance from the camera. However, a 135mm lens set up with the same parameters will give only a few centimetres of acceptable focus.
So, wide lenses offer greater depths of field, and a little or a lot of perspective distortion between foreground and background elements. For this reason, a lot of street photographers like to use lenses between 28 and 35mm. This allows them to get close to the action and slightly distort perspective to make certain elements stand out more. Longer lenses will give narrower depths of field and bring background elements closer together. This is why many portrait photographers prefer longer lenses like 85mm and 135mm for their portraits.
Below are some examples to illustrate this. In the portrait, I used a 135mm lens wide open at f/2. This enabled me to get a very narrow depth of field and bring the buildings in the background (approximately one kilometre away) apparently very close to my subject. Had I used a wide lens, my model would have been distorted as I would need to be very close, and the buildings in the background would appear so distant as to almost disappear.
In this picture of a waterfall, a 24mm lens was used to give a very deep depth of field, and bring the rocks in the foreground into more prominence. If I had used the 135mm lens for this photograph, it would have been significantly different. The rocks in the foreground would appear much closer to the waterfall, which would appear larger in the frame. I would also have been neck deep in the ocean, which would have made for a much more rushed frame!
Other things to consider are things like sharpness and maximum aperture. A 50mm f/1.0 is a magnificent lens, of that there is no doubt, but do you need that speed? Could you use a 50mm f/1.8? It is approximately 1/50 of the cost in Canon's line-up, it's much easier to find, and is sharper and more contrasty wide open. A great resource for tests on lens sharpness and contrast is photozone.de.
One final thing to stress about lens choice is weight. A 70-200mm f/2.8 lens is heavy. Really. Do you need to trade in your 70-300 lightweight cheapy for that extra sharpness and speed? Think about what you shoot, and ask yourself if you need it.
In the end though, all technical considerations aside, sometimes you just want glass for its aesthetic appeal. I love the feeling my 50mm f/1.2 gives me, I wouldn't trade it for the world. That is what is important to me.
So, look at a lens technically, physically, and emotionally. If it fits in your shooting style, then you can probably justify it.
Don't forget to check this space over the weekend, we have a couple of new announcements coming up for all you folks in Korea!

The 402 teams formed alliances of three and deployed their creations in a robotic basketball game called Rebound Rumble. During the first stage of each match, the robots operated autonomously to shoot basketballs into hoops of varying heights. After 15 seconds, student drivers rushed to their laptops and joysticks to take control of their robots. A metal square-edged barrier at half-court made moving from one end to the other difficult, and teams scored extra points if they finished the match by balancing their bots on any of three bridges. The student engineering teams designed some brilliant and surprising solutions to the competition's challenges. (And check our blog for more stories from FIRST 2012.) By David Cawthon and Jessica Walsh Email Comments 0 Share Back 3 of 10 Next View Thumbnails Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Back Next View Thumbnails Killer Bees, Team 33 Auburn Hills, Mich. Killer bees are deadly because of their stingers. Much the same way, this team's robot would be far less potent without its "stinger," a metal apparatus the team added to help the bot balance on the bridge. By lowering the stinger to the ground, the drivers can take some of the weight off the teetering bridge and keep the robot stable, team member Nick Finn says. Many robots at the championship sported similar devices. Some teams also called them stingers or even painted the word "stinger" on them, but Finn says the idea originated with the Killer Bees. "We were the first team to have something like this in the beginning of the competition," he says, referring to his team's first tournament in March at Kettering University in Flint, Mich. Their invention won them the Industrial Design Award at the championship. The Killer Bees' robot, named Buzz XVII, also boasts a drop-down, multipurpose collector. The collector uses pulleys to pull in basketballs, lowers a bridge so the robot can mount it, and helps stabilize a bridge when a partner robot is trying to balance. Its rounded fins help the robot glide over the mid-court barrier.

The two clowns from the company's community outreach program travel around the United States, visiting local schools, hospitals and libraries sharing their comedic, interactive style. Aside from the workshop, the Ambassadors of Laughter also performed a part of their own act.
The clowns worked with the Summer Stage actors, including the community children who annually participate, on using their whole bodies to express emotions rather than just using words. They also demonstrated the art of a good "trip," the technique behind a "double take," and explained in detail the comedic "rule of three" – a principle that suggests things that come in threes are inherently funnier.
According to BHSU Summer Stage actress Melissa Barnard, speech communication major from Rapid City, everyone learned something valuable from the workshop. "It was more geared toward the adults, but the kids definitely did really well," she says.
The clowns watched the actors work with the concepts and then gave feedback on their demonstrations. They also performed a portion of their own act, which included music, audience participation, and some juggling. Finally, the actors were given the opportunity to pick their own nose, a big red clown nose.
The Summer Stage actors will be putting their skills to work during their final show of the summer, Lie, Cheat, and Genuflect, a comedy by Billy Van Zandt and Jane Millmore. They will be performing tonight and tomorrow at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday at 2:30 p.m. All performances will be in the Pangburn Hall Theatre, reservations are recommended. To make reservations or learn more about the Summer Stage visit www.BHSU.edu/Theatre, call 605.642.6171, or email email@example.com. Ticket prices are $14 for adults, $12 for seniors, $9 for students, and $6 for ages 17 and under.

Remixes for Your Workout
Photo Credit: ranplett/iStock
Spring break is, perhaps, the busiest time of year for a DJ. In prepping for this year's dance bonanza, I stumbled across a few remixes I hadn't already heard. I thought I'd share them here, in case you missed some of them as well.
Most are uptempo versions of songs that might not otherwise work in a club (or the gym). To that end, you'll find Chad from the Neptunes reworking The All-American Rejects, while Cobra Starship try to make
Fall Out Boy sound more like...Cobra Starship.
In other instances, though, it's the verses or vocalists who've changed while the music remains largely the same. Accordingly, Lil Wayne and Chamillionaire both turn up in "Party Like a Rockstar," while
Fergie trades lines with MJ on a love-it-or-hate-it version of "Beat It."
1. Ludacris, Ciara & Pitbull - How Low (Remix) - 145 BPM
2. The All-American Rejects - Move Along (Chad Hugo Remix) - 131 BPM
3. Orianthi - According to You (Jason Sangerman Remix) - 132 BPM
4. Selena Gomez & The Scene - Naturally (Disco Fries Remix) - 131 BPM
5. Shop Boyz, Lil Wayne & Chamillionaire - Party Like A Rockstar
(Remix) - 147 BPM
6. Fall Out Boy - I Don't Care (Cobra Starship Suave Suarez Remix) -
7. Michael Jackson & Fergie - Beat It (Thriller 25th Anniversary
Remix) - 138 BPM
8. Feist - Sealion (Chromeo Remix) - 119 BPM
9. Benny Benassi vs Public Enemy - Bring The Noise (Pump-kin Remix) -
10. Madonna & Justin Timberlake - 4 Minutes (Junkie XL Remix Radio
Edit) - 131 BPM
MC's resident DJ Chris Lawhorn weeds through each week's releases to

Laundry Design Basics
- Details
- Created on Sunday, 03 June 2007 02:49
- Written by Ken Tyler
No doubt there should be a book or manual prepared on laundry design. The importance of the correct machinery and its size for a facility, the machinery's placement and the actual laundry design should not be downplayed. It is the driving force behind a successful laundry.
However, to date there is no such manual available. Therefore, I would like to share some information I have learned during my 35 years in this industry during which I designed and managed the construction of approximately 73 laundries for the Department of Veterans Affairs, the US Marine Corps and later in the private sector.PRELIMINARY CONSIDERATIONS
One major preliminary consideration everyone faces when building or restructuring a laundry is -- how does one specify equipment?
When modernizing my first laundry at Marine Corps Base, Quantico Va., which processed troop support laundry and dry cleaning, White House dry cleaning, goods from a Navy Hospital, a base carpet cleaning activity etc. I was faced with the challenge of a floor to ceiling remodeling job. The facility needed to replace air compressors, boilers, update lighting and electrical systems. Additionally the facility need to update its complete laundry activity that processed over 1,000 uniforms a day, a washing, drying and ironing operation that processed about 80,000 pounds per day, update thirty press stations and the entire the dry cleaning department.
The Base Contracting Officer got me on the right track by directing me to make purchases as they did in the Air Force. It became obvious that we were going to purchase a laundry system, similar to how the Air Force purchased jet aircraft -- using a performance specification.
In essence, we were going to tell the industry – equipment suppliers - what we wanted to process, how we wanted to process it and what conditions were acceptable. They would then furnish us with a design that we would evaluate for compliance prior to purchase.
Prior to seeking out a supplier, it is up to you to devise a budget for your laundry. This step should be taken prior to contacting suppliers so that they – and you -- know what your constrictions are. Be sure to leave some leeway in the budget, since all construction jobs tend to last a little longer and cost a little more than originally planned.
Working with the correct equipment supplier is step two in developing a plan for your laundry. But finding the correct equipment suppler may take some footwork. Take the time to see who is out there and what they offer as in which machinery they supply and the scope of their services.
Prior to working with an equipment supplier, check their past references, call the manager of another laundry the equipment supplier worked on and ask questions. Did they stay in budget? How is the equipment working out? Has the laundry's needs been met?
Remember, equipment suppliers are looking to sell you on their products. It is up to you to read, listen and examine what is put forth. Ultimately, this is your laundry and you will be living with the outcome – hopefully – for many years to come. It is also up to you to compare equipment suppliers and their designs, quotes, and configurations. Obviously, the right match will meet your budget and space considerations while handling the goods you produce. Additionally, you may want to consider a supplier who is willing to configure your laundry for future growth.
Again, you are making the purchase so it behooves you to give as many suppliers the opportunity to meet your needs and compare their proposals. When you have decided on an equipment supplier, get documentation and guarantees on their work. You want to know that what they are telling you is in fact a possible reality – something you can put your finger on later one. If a contractor does not comply with performance requirements set forth, have a method in place so that you can hold them responsible.
The procurement and installation of the Marine Corps Base in Quantico that I worked on went very smoothly. Hence the lessons learned have lasted a lifetime – use performance specifications that include installation and an internal evaluation that the products and services meet the requirements. This is a true design build.
There are several key elements to consider when specifying laundry equipment. One key element in procuring laundry equipment is to remember that the equipment you purchase will require the support of other systems and may be affected by the environment. That 'environment' includes water conditions, electrical issues, gas applications, air compression and building issues. Types and configurations of items to be processed are all paramount when purchasing equipment.
Prior to making purchases, you should address size issues as they relate to building systems. The initial question you must answer is, what are your needs? What is your budget? Does your workflow necessitate a tunnel or several washers? To many, the answer here is cost relevant.
There have been laundries with washer extractors that utilize the same amount of personnel as a tunnel and then there is the opposite. When you cost comparison, compare the equipment and cost including operational energy costs and personnel necessary to operate the system. Keep in mind those considerations need to encompass personnel training, maintenance and benefits, and on the machinery side consider the energy it takes to operate the system in addition to machine maintenance.
As for the finishing aspect of the facility, what is the level of finishing you require for goods? For the answer to this consider what you are processing, i.e. uniforms, gowns, flat goods, towels, sheets. Each requires a different level of finishing.
Performance specifications are key to purchasing any type of equipment. You must decide and be able to communicate to your chosen equipment supplier what you are processing and what your expectations are on production.
All systems, with the exception of washing and drying, are based on the number of pieces to be produced. Washing and drying is predicated on poundage to be produced. Never get these two calculations confused, but make sure they always interrelate. That is key when considering soiled sorting systems to specifying soiled and clean linen conveyor systems and finishing systems.
Another consideration which will affect performance is automation. What is the level of automation you are considering? If the cost of automation seems too high – consider the savings in employees, benefits etc. Address production expectations with the degrees of automation, i.e. hands on-hands off. How will you be loading washers, dryers? How do you expect to unload dryers? How do will you be moving goods throughout the facility?
The onus on reaching your expectations should be placed on the manufacturer. This is why it is important to discuss expectations in a pre-bid environment. It is an educational process for you, the manufacturer and the installation individuals. Be forewarned, purchasing a piece of equipment because you like it - is usually not the best approach. Always examine what is available and the best alternatives.
When you specify a piece of equipment or system, have the supplier spell out how your expectations can be met. One of the most important aspects of purchasing equipment is being able to quality assure the product when it becomes operational. And consider what will happen in your facility of that piece of machinery is not operational. What is the manufacturer or equipment supplier's service record? If you have only one tunnel and it is non-operational, you may end up sending your laundry to another facility.
The laundry equipment industry is changing. Applications that were state-of-the-art 5 years ago are no longer state-of-the-art. The most obvious changes are in washing, drying and finishing. For years, the virtual scapegoat of laundry processing was obtaining a system that could match washing and drying. For some reason, finishing, folding, stacking and feeding (remember pieces to pounds) never really held up. There was an obvious imbalance.
Manufacturers of finishing systems (ironers-folders-feeders, stacking) have now stepped up to the plate, the major loophole in processing continues to be in the soiled sorting scenario - always non-productive when compared to other laundry departments.
It is important to remember that good laundry building designs and smooth workflow depend on available space and access. When considering space in a facility, remember that it is based on cubic square footage, never standard square footage at the floor level. As I indicated earlier you must be able to observe all aspects of your equipment operation, major cost avoidances can occur we you observe from ancillary support to production.
A laundry, no matter what type is responsible for providing adequate, constant supplies of clean textiles to all users. The basic tasks include sorting, weighing, ironing, drying and pre-conditioning, finishing, folding and conveyance of products to a delivery point for further transportation to end users.
The calculations mentioned are based on clear ceiling heights of 16 feet with a transition of cubic square feet equated into net square feet (nsf).

Finally, while short term costs are important, long term costs and pay back are the tool that should be used when considering the ultimate success or failure of a laundry. Not considering this important aspect will come back to haunt you.

Flute™ Personal Light
Price: $259.00Overview
Design by Tom Newhouse.
The Flute™ Personal Light offers cutting edge features with a powerful impact on the Earth and your workspace. Manufactured using 36-percent recycled materials (and 85-percent recyclable at the end of its useful life), Flute uses the latest LED technology for high-quality, medium-warm light output and uses 30 to 50-percent less energy than traditional task lights. The latest in LED technology offers a 24-year life span, with no bulbs to replace and a cost of about $1.13 to use the light for a whole year. And the LED's emit no carbon dioxide, mercury, or sulfur, as traditional light bulbs do.
With 160 lumens of light emission, Flute provides ample lighting — just what you need in a task light. The freestanding lamp has a head that swivels 230° from left to right, so you can focus the light where you need it easily. A 360° rotating clamp mount option provides maximum flexibility in light placement. Touch to turn on or off. Select a freestanding or surface clamp attachment bracket. Offered in three colors: Metallic Silver, Graphite, and White.
UL listed and UL Canada listed. Includes an 11-ft. cord. Flute is made in the U.S.A. and includes a 5-year warranty.
Eco Friendly
Dimensions: 6" W X 19" D X 14.75" H
Bulbs: 1 X LED lamp with 3.5W output, 3500K, 87 CRI (included)
Where is the light?
By: Clay S., Homeowner (Cloverdale California USA...)
This light is a bummer... Looks great... But it is not bright enough for it purpose... We wish we could return this light...
Amazing product.
By: Jay N., Renter (Allentown, PA, USA)
The Flute is a fantastic lamp. We have two of them in our apartment: one for my office desk and one as a reading lamp next to the bed. The color temperature of the LED is just right (not too white/blue) and easy on the eyes for reading. The surface clamp version can be rotated 360 degrees from the arm/base and the head can swivel 230 degrees on both types. Very versatile and beautiful! Highly recommended and worth the price for this reliable lamp.

a prize.
With Exchange Server, you are limited to one Exchange organization per forest, and an Exchange organization cannot span multiple forests. This limitation can cause problems in a multi-forest deployment -- but there are advantages to consider as well.
In this tip, I explain those advantages and discuss drawbacks you should also consider before deploying a multiple-forest Windows architecture.
Advantages of Exchange Server in a multi-forest deployment
From a Microsoft Exchange perspective, the most obvious advantage of a multi-forest deployment is that you can achieve true separation of administrative responsibilities.
As an Exchange administrator, this means that you don't have to worry about an administrator from a different forest tampering with your Exchange servers. Best of all, you never have to worry about having an administrator from another forest seizing control of your local forest.
Having separate forests also allows you to do things that would otherwise be impossible. One example is if you're running Exchange Server 2003 in native mode, and a newly acquired company is running Exchange 5.5 -- you can't just bring the Exchange 5.5 servers into your organization, because native mode forbids it.
There are a few different ways you could bring those Exchange 5.5 user mailboxes into your Exchange organization, but they are somewhat complicated and involve a lot of work. In a situation such as this, it is sometimes easier to let the acquired company continue to exist as its own separate forest and Exchange organization.
If users in one forest need to access data in the other forest, you could always just set up a cross-forest trust that would allow them to do so. You could maintain the separate forests indefinitely, or until you could get everybody on the same version of Exchange Server.
Disadvantages of Exchange Server in a multi-forest deployment
The separation imposed by a multi-forest deployment can be a management headache for organizations with multiple Exchange Server organizations, but only one Exchange administrator.
The disadvantages go beyond management issues though. In Microsoft Exchange, users with mailboxes in different forests are treated as outsiders. For example, a user cannot delegate mailbox access to a user with an account in a separate forest.
And since Exchange is completely dependent on Active Directory, which is limited by a forest's boundaries, users in one forest cannot access mailboxes in another forest. (A mailbox is simply an attribute of a user account, so user objects and mailboxes always stay together.)
Calendaring is also affected by multi-forest deployments. If a user wants to schedule a meeting with someone in a different forest, they can use Schedule+ to synchronize free and busy times across forest boundaries and find a meeting time that works for both parties. But the user who wants to schedule the meeting cannot view a user's calendar in a different forest to see the details of that person's schedule.
Another drawback involves Outlook Web Access (OWA). Microsoft recommends running OWA in a front-end/back-end configuration; the front-end OWA server acts as a message proxy so the back-end server, which contains the information store, is never exposed to the Internet.
OWA works in a multiple forest deployment, but the front-end server can only act as a proxy for back-end servers in the same forest. This limitation also applies to Outlook Mobile Access front-end/back-end configurations.

use Crane Cams cam #110941 It will have the right sound you want. Get a dual plane off a old 327 and use a carter carb. The edelbrock C3BX is right out of that era. So is the Weiand 8016 The Street master is a 70's disco era intake manifold. 60's was solid lifter cams dual planes and dual quads. You will need to recuve the distributor. bigger valve lash ='s more 60's era solid cam sound. smaller valve lash ='s rougher idle. do not go looser on the valve lash than +.006" looser than the crane cam card spec. you can go up to .012" tighter on the lash. the lash spec is .022" hot. so,,, you can vary that from .028" to .010" and get a different sound from the cam. This will not harm the cam or your motor. but will adjust the idle sound to your liking. adjust the valve lash once a year. Last edited by F-BIRD'88; 11-12-2012 at 08:48 PM. |

Just to follow up, I got a reply from Comp Cams about getting their 280H Magnum with a 112 LSA ISO 110:
Tracey, we can help you with this for sure. We can grind that on what ever LSA you would like. The 112 LSA will smooth the idle out a little... And push the power band to the higher RPM side. It will also lessen the detonation threshold. How much RPM are you looking for? Let me know and we will go from there. Thanks.

Strange deal, Streetmaster intake with 200cc heads?????
I've used a Streetmaster in the past. They are excellent for idle to 4000 due to the tiny little runners, but run out of breath up in the range. It's almost like the manifold will be signing off right when the heads begin to come on. |
Ive seen a couple non airgap RPM manifolds modified for a fill tube with the EGR in the tube (I think). Cool deal. I'd use a 300-36 manifold and a Holley. Or go Dual Quads. The 60s are my favorite era for Hot Rodding. You went from 283s to 350s; dual quads, tri-power, superchargers, turbochargers...Its wide open. That street master has to go though. As far as the cam; Im a UDHarold fan, or Id call Isky but thats personal preference. Dont forget the CherryBombs!
I would have never guessed a single plane would help MPG Wanna trade for a dual quad intake? I think my dad has a couple old AFB's in the garage This is it |
torkers were very popular back in the early 70s/tarantula/scorpion,,,,,,back in the sixties,the z-28 intake was around but expensive,offenhauser had some unpopular intakes back then. The only intake I currently have is the holley street dominator,and its not impressive or retro.
It may not be exactly period correct but a Torker intake looks very similar, can be picked up super cheap, and produces decent results- it's not as good as an RPM intake or something of that nature, but it does still have the look your after.
I am going to use the current Olds TH400 though with a Summit adapter |

Xrotor: I will talk to them about it, thanks.
On the side note, just receive back the unit from tc3twin, slap it onto my old F450 quad, total set up time was 20minutes. Left all setting the same, only change aircraft type, lipo cells to 4 and here's the test video. Didn't even change any gain before take off... the second part of the video is when I made some changes to it would hold better in GPS hold at the end (increase main gain from 60-68... Motion compensate from 85-100. So no, there's no problem with the unit what so ever. Wifi connect right away, 8 satelites within 20 seconds, atittude value is 0. For those out there who not having success tunning your unit to perfection. My suggestion is please take a step back, relax and take it easy and I am sure you can figure it out. After all, it's a autopilot system that required USER set up/command.

Hi guys,
I swapped my YS to cinestar but there's one thing i cannot get done. Has anyone yet set Castle Phoenix endpoints work with YS. Regular esc:s are straight forward but castles i just cannot get done. I can set full throttle point fine but when i start bring throttle down to set throttle off point, castles sees endpoint already at the middle throttle on the way down. No matter how low i set endpoint in tx. All tips are welcome, i really like to try phoenix escs with ys as they have been wonderful escs after last fw update Kari. |

What I usually do is to track everything I want to eat, before I eat it, in MFP. Then I look at the macros and totals and see if it is workable-ie. are the numbers falling in line and do I have enough left for the rest of the day. I have now gotten into the habit of pre-tracking the whole day, this gives me better control to decide where and how I want to spend my macros.
For today, fish and chicken are pretty cheap caloried nutrition, as well as leafy greens say some spinach with a cream sauce.
p.s. I don't think there are any purists on this thread (at least I hope not).

Sunday Feb 6, 2011
31 25
Hope you all are enjoying your post-Super Bowl Monday. Just a few quick thoughts on the big game and surrounding festivities for your enjoyment.
How many coach of the year votes did Mike McCarthy get? Not nearly as many as he deserved was my thought, after watching the 6-seed Packers romp through the playoffs and completely out-gameplan the Super Bowl built Steelers.
I think part of the problem is that McCarthy looks like an ordinary joe. He's not particularly in shape (unless "round" is a shape) but neither is he comically large like Rex Ryan. Like many coaches from the Marty Schottenheimer coaching tree (including the Steelers' Mike Tomlin, by way of Tony Dungy), he doesn't brook drama or believe in press conference soundbites. He doesn't call attention to himself, nor is he in a particularly unique situation. In short: the guy is a boring story. But he wins.
This game was sloppily played at times, with Pittsburgh committing a lot of dumb penalties and making a lot of mistakes in the first half, and Green Bay's offense stalling thanks to numerous drops in the second half. But from a strategic standpoint, the Packers had the perfect blend of passing and running to keep Pittsburgh's defense off kilter, did a fantastic job of limiting the rush that Aaron Rodgers had to face (which sounds crazy, considering he got hit more than 16 times, but that's not bad against this D), and were able to make the most out of big plays.
Are you listening, Coach Spags? That last point was key, as no one is going to run up a series of long sustained drives against Pittsburgh's defense. So you have to take your shots downfield to generate scoring opportunities. And that's what the Packers did, on any given down, not just when they needed it.
According to the NFL Gamebook, the Packers' biggest pass plays came on 3rd-and-9, 1st-and-10, 3rd-and-1 (TD), 2nd-and-6, 1st-and-10 (TD), and 1st-and-10. Only one of those downs was a textbook "long passing down." It's a good bet that Josh McDaniels is going to want to open up the offense, and be able to threaten the defense from any down and distance. Here's your proof -- even against the #1 defense in the NFL, you can do it.
Why do we spend so much time talking about the commercials? It's been a long time since the commercials were better than, or more memorable than, the game itself. And that's a very good thing. In fact, you'd have to go back to the Raiders-Bucs or Ravens-Giants to find a Super Bowl broadcast that was so awful that only a few commercials redeemed it.
That said, I've been saying "cram it in the boot" every time I can ever since yesterday. The fifteen year old boy inside me who never grew up thinks that's about the funniest thing ever.

AMD prepares to kill the ATI brand name, Radeon will live
AMD feels this is also a good time to kill off the ATI branding considering their chipset business has been successfully migrated, and the Radeon and FireGL brands stand strong on their own. The company claims that through recent surveys they found that the AMD brand is favored when compared to its graphics competitors, namely Nvidia. The switch is not expected until the next generation of graphics products arrive, so all current Radeon HD 5000 series GPUs will be left untouched. Later this year it's expected that the new AMD Radeon HD 6000 series will make an appearance, likely carrying a logo similar to this:
AMD's first hybrid processor code-named Ontario is expected to become available before the end of the year, with the more powerful Llano APU (Accelerated Processing Unit) meant to follow sometime during 1H/2011.
Ontario will pack two low-power Bobcat cores and Radeon graphics on the same package, meant to be a system-on-chip solution aimed at netbooks, tablets and other low-power devices. Llano will use a derived core from the Phenom II family, but hope is that it will eventually incorporate a more powerful core based on Bulldozer.
User Comments: 19
Got something to say? Post a comment-
I guess I can see where this makes sense now... Particularly as the CPU/GPU lines blur together, it makes it easier for AMD marketing: instead of having to reference an AMD/ATi hybrid, they just market as an AMD product.
I'm sure the hardcore ATi fans will hate the move. But seriously, it's like ATi is disappearing, they are just finally finishing the folding into AMD that started with their acquisition. They will continue to give nVidia a run for their money, and keep GPU competition and innovation strong.
This makes me quite sad. Years ago ATi was a Canadian company. After AMD bought them we no longer had them. But at least we knew the people who started them would be able to grow bigger. Now they kill off the name to try and make sure there is nothing left of them.
It happens in almost every business acquisition, so I don't see any issue ('emotional' or otherwise) with it. Probably they have delayed it for more then they actually needed it to. Anyhow, what my hope is that in coming few years, they can produce APU's which can deliver competing performance along with at least midrange graphic solution (i.e. 5770 of that time, perhaps? ).
oh well, as long as AMD keeps producing great GPUs i don't really mind that the ATI name is being omitted. it doesn't look like any other marketing elements are being rubbed out so it's still basically the same exact thing, just no shiny ATI logo. personally, i don't think AMD really had to drop the name, but it's easier to condense, market, and advertise all of their products under one name.
As long as they don't finish with Ruby... Anyways, I don't feel like saying "I just bought a new AMD HD6890!" ??? What the h... is that a CPU a GPU or a CPU/GPU??
You bought a Radeon, not an ATI you idi*t. Who the hell cares if it's AMD or ATI logo on it? ATI is AMD's graphics logo.
yes, they are just omitting the ATI logo and brand name, but everything else will remain including the Radeon, FireGL etc... so, you'll be seeing product names following the lines of "AMD Radeon HD6xxx" and so on. they are basically getting rid of the letters T and I
While it does make me sad especially since I still use ATi wallpapers, this is nothing unusual as Archean points out. I'll still likely use the name though as when I think AMD I think CPU and not GPU. Plus AMD (Green) vs Nvidia (Green) just seems wrong imo...they also should to bring back Ruby =D.
The marketing will be much easier for new consumers on the integrated systems, with the ATi moniker out of the way. They will have a strong "powered by AMD" kind of appeal, rather than a "powered by AMD and ATi" setup, which makes it seem less integrated. And it appears their most direct competition will be "powered by Intel and nVidia" for the Atom and Ion combination, which again impresses less cohesion in the product.
It's all about the spin, man. Make it seem simple and powerful, and you gain large strides in consumer confidence. That, and decent benchmarks in speed and power consumption. Have to wait and see how those turn out
NVIDIA should resurrect 3DFX...
"found that the AMD brand is favored when compared to its graphics competitors, namely Nvidia"
Excuse me !?
For the last 10 years at least, whoever was looking to buy a new videocard knew 2 WORDS! One is ATI, the other NVIDIA! I wonder where Intel fans will go to buy their new videocard now, wanna take a guess?
With AMD lagging behind Intel on the CPU side (sales and performance benchmarks) and ATI solidly in front of nVidia with this generation of cards, you choose to kill the ATI brand NOW ??? If you ask me, this move has more to do with pride than marketing sense. What you did will soon help your competitors on the CPU and GPU market gain an even bigger slice of the piechart. And also lose a few Intel+ATI combo fans while at it.
And that's just the first reason.
The second gets clear enough when you look at how many different badges you find on the front grille of the same GM produced car. People like the illusion of choice, even if AMD is behind the ATI sticker on a video card. It's hard enough as it is to build a brand these days, let alone one that manages to stay ahead of the competition, yet you kill that with the flick of a pen just when they're ahead?
To me that's just marketing and corporate stupidity.
I bought my first ATI card 5 months ago (a 5850). I just hope you continue to improve on the performance side like you did with the current generation.
You're using a Radeon, not a ATI. Is it easier for you if you buy a GPU it has a ATI logo and a Radeon name, but you know that its been created by AMD???
Besides that.. look on the PCB of the current cards.. what logo and name is on it? AMD.. like it is a big deal.. AMD Radeon... doesnt sound bad at all.
AMD and Intel are going to destroy Nvidia in the notebook and low-to-midrange desktop sector. AMD needed to rebrand to compete against Intel. Nvidia is going to be left out in the cold with AMD and Intel integrated GPUs.
Will be interesting to see how many Intel chipset boards now feature box art that includes "AMD Radeon Graphics" or "AMD Crossfire X Technology".

never thought of that, but I'll be waiting for some kind of satirical article over at tomshardware about it.

This is very sad thing to hear... funny how 3DFX have the similar conscience on closing it doors, just like ATi did.
edited: It would be darn nice to see 3DFX to come around again.
WHY?? For What??
Many people know ATi but all most don't know AMD. AMD kill ati and will kill them self too.

If that happens, Intel will be the only company that's still holding the long-standing trophy for having the years of good services in their belts, FOREVER.
That'll probably be a good thing, sticking to the same brand, different proc speeds, and again, different prices. I could predict this that if this happens, we will be getting tons of low-power, low-heat and super-cheap chips coming right up in our noses.
As for Nvidia, I don't know what their gameplans are, but I surely hope that Nvidia wouldn't do the same thing AMD did to their puny slaves.
IMO, Intel need to step back a little and start focusing on their thermal issues first, before going crazy on wafers. ( AFAIK, they did that and they always sit back, and allow us to complains about it, AND they will fix it in next gen chips, and selling it again, wasting our money.. ) [iPhone 4, conscience? ]
NOW it would be very nice to see both of Intel and Nvidia battling each other with those super-slicky graphics blades, and manufactured and lap-less heatsink shields in coliseum!

Comments about Naughty Nerd Adult Women's Costume:
This costume was very easy to put on and very cute. The main problem I had was the dress's suspenders(already connected). It doesn't stay on my shoulders tightly, so every second it falls down. I have to keep putting it back on my shoulder every second. This problem can be fixed... I'm just going to sew the top part to the dress, and it should work out well! Overall, it is very cute. Since I am on the "short" side, the dress wasn't short on me. The V-Neck isn't too deep, just at the right spot. I liked this costume a lot. The accessories were very cute and added to the "nerd" look. The glasses were nice, and the 'bow tie choker' was a very nice addition. Get this costume if you are looking for a chic yet funny costume.

I like the attitude on campus. Students and professors are positive about the University and passionate about their fields of study.
Current Student Spotlight:
Julie Jakmides '13
Hometown:Alliance, Ohio
Major:Criminal justice
Future criminal attorney
Vice president of the Pre-Law Society and volunteer for the Regula Center
First-rate Education
I transferred to Mount Union after my first semester of college at a much larger state school for several reasons. I wanted to be on a campus that was small enough that I could recognize other students in my classes and really get to know my professors. I also knew that Mount Union offered the major and classes I was interested in, and I would get a first-rate education.
Campus Attitude
I like the attitude on campus. Students and professors are positive about the University and passionate about their fields of study.
Favorite Building
One of my favorite places on campus would have to be one of the desks in the library that look out over the quad and main body of the campus. I have all the resources I need to study from right there, but I also have a beautiful view for when I would rather put my books down.
Chapman Hall
I would take a visitor to campus to the steps of Chapman Hall. I think Chapman is the most beautiful, historic building on campus, and from the front lawn you can see all the ways the University is growing and being developed.
A Feeling of Family
The entire University is looking out for you at Mount Union. Professors make an effort to get to know you, administrators are a constant fixture on campus and almost everyone will say hello or hold a door open for you. I have never seen such a strong family/community attitude on another campus, and that makes a huge difference.
Future Plans
I plan to attend law school and work in the court system as a criminal attorney.
Experience Up Close
I had the chance to watch a double-murder trial where my legal advocacy professor, Judge Lee Sinclair, was the presiding judge. It was a great learning experience to see everything we were studying in class play out in a real courtroom.
Intersecting Disciplines
There have been a lot of classes from a lot of different disciplines that I really enjoyed, but I think my favorite was forensic psychology with Dr. James Karpawich, lecturer in the Department of Psychology. We talked about the court system a lot, and it was interesting to see how mental illness and psychology intersect with law and the criminal justice system.
Favorite Professor
I have several fantastic professors from every course of study. Every semester I am pleasantly surprised by the quality of professors who exist outside my major and minor. Dr. Cunion, dean for curriculum and student academic issues and associate professor of political science, taught the hardest course I've taken at Mount Union—quantitative political analysis—and it was a class I signed up for even though it wasn't required of my major/minor. I spent at least three nights a week in the computer lab kicking myself for taking a senior-level class I didn't need, but Dr. Cunion always explained the material so that it made sense and was completely relevant. I hated the class when I wasn't physically in the room with Dr. Cunion, but he taught me some very important life and career lessons when I least expected them.
Alliance City Council
After being crowned the 2009 Carnation Queen, I spent a year representing Alliance and the Carnation Festival and learned a lot about the city and public service. During that same year I started going to City Council meetings purely out of curiosity, and in 2011, when there were two open seats on council, I decided I was interested and committed enough that I should try and win a seat. I am fiercely proud of my hometown, and I cannot imagine a better job than working to share my passion for Alliance with residents, businesses and visitors. I have had a great experience so far as a councilwoman. I haven't always agreed with the other six members I work with, but Alliance has a great mayor and administration, and they have been more than helpful. I truly love my job, and I am very happy to be seeking a second term unopposed in 2013.
Alliance Police Department Intern
I loved my experience interning with the Alliance Police Department. I spent most of my time with the Special Investigations Unit, but I also logged hours with the patrol division, other detectives and on special details. I have been exposed to the full police experience from the initial reports all the way through investigations, search warrants, arrests and prosecution. Everyone I worked with made an effort to include me in whatever they were doing and answered all my questions. As a student, a future criminal attorney and a member of Alliance City Council, the experience was absolutely invaluable.
Importance of Internships
Life doesn't flow as neatly as the expensive textbooks we read in class. It has been incredibly educational for me to be out in the field watching the application of theories and seeing the statistics physically occur. Part of learning is experience, and no classroom experience can effectively recreate that. You have to get out and see it for yourself.
