Out on the course, Baker had the run of his life. "It was an extremely bumpy, narrow two-lane road, and the bounce at 200 mph was something. We went up and down hills and through a canyon where the stone walls went straight up." On the 90-mile course from Hiko to Lund, he averaged 181 mph, crossing the finish line at 201 mph to take the win. Baker would go on to enter several other open-road events in Nevada, winning two more.
The Latest Chapter
In 1997, Baker married his wife, Patricia, who urged him to take on yet another racing challenge: NASCAR. "Kim is such an enormous talent in this sport, I couldn't see him retiring at such a young age," Patricia says. "I suggested that he race in the regional NASCAR Bush series, and, to no one's surprise, he proved himself a winner in stock-car racing." In just a handful of starts with a small team with no prior NASCAR experience, Baker had numerous top three finishes and a win at Watkins Glen International.
"That win was monumental," Patricia says. "Kim was racing against Cup and Busch racers and beat them all. One of our crewmembers was a gymnast, and when Kim won the race he did backflips down pit lane. That was captured by the ESPN cameras and was broadcast on ESPN and local news stations nationally. That was a terrific win for Kim and all his sponsors. The ultimate success of Kim in that one race illustrates perfectly the power of motorsports marketing."
Patricia's successful career in marketing and public relations, and Kim's understanding of all aspects of motorsports, allow the Bakers to offer a unique service: working with corporations that want to create a motorsports marketing presence. The Big Picture Agency LLC works closely with corporate representatives to ensure that every dollar they spend in motorsports comes back to them multiplied. Kim provides the additional services of team and driver evaluation for corporations who are already team sponsors, and Patricia lends her marketing expertise to design programs that create better branding and increase sales.
One of Big Picture's clients, Panasonic, works closely with the Bakers to ensure a positive return on investment from all things motorsports related. Susie Ogihara, a director in Panasonic's North American office, approached the Bakers last year to help the company make the jump into the world of NASCAR.
"We ran two hospitality events at the California [now AutoClub] Speedway during the Sprint Cup events this year," Ogihara says. "Not only did our partner, Warner Brothers, and our guests have a fabulous time, we were inundated with sales requests from other major corporations. At the outset we knew very little about the sport, but [with] NASCAR being so family centered and so exciting, it was a big hit with everyone."
Kim attended both events as the company's race consultant and motorsports expert, leading all the Panasonic and WB execs on tours through pit lane, the garages, and even to the Cup racers' RVs for personal introductions. Along the way, he explained the role of tire pressure, what "loose" and "tight" mean in racing parlance, the basics of car engineering, and numerous other aspects of the motorsports business.
It's obvious that Kim Baker's love of the sport is contagious, a trait that's sure to serve him well in this latest chapter of his long and storied career. Still, as my time with this legendary figure in Corvette motorsports comes to an end, the inevitable question arises: "Will you race again?"
"Yes," he answers without hesitation.

It is commonly known that racing cars and bicyclists can reduce air resistance by following closely behind a leader, but researchers from New York University and Cornell University have found the opposite is true with flapping objects, such as flags. Their study, published in the most recent issue of the journal Physical Review Letters, discovered that in a series of flags, the leading flag faces significantly less resistance than do succeeding flags. The finding may alter our understanding of how living flapping creatures, such as birds or fish, move through the air and water.
"Inspired by schooling fish and flocking birds, we studied how flapping flags alter fluid drag forces, or resistance that moving objects face, on one another when grouped together," said Jun Zhang, an associate professor in NYU's Physics Department and its Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences and a co-author of the study. "To our surprise, we discovered that the leading flag enjoys a drag reduction of up to 50 percent while its downstream neighbor suffers a significant drag increase. If this effect applies to fish schools and bird flocks, the leaders would also have a reduced burden and spend less energy as they swim or fly."
The finding is the first of its kind on fluid flow. All previous studies on rigid objects in a moving fluid show the exact opposite result: the leading object must overcome greater drag forces than the followers.
"Our finding is thus a dramatic violation of our common sense about fluids and structures," Zhang explained.
In the study, the researchers sought to simulate flags flying under windy conditions by inserting flexible filaments ("the flag") to a wire ("the flagpole"). To model wind, they placed the model flag into a flowing soap film. Because the filaments are flexible and massive, they spontaneously flap under the fluid, reacting as flags would in a natural breeze.

Re: Ground leaning
Re: Re: Ground leaning
Yes, John. ThetaPP is the point of crankshaft rotation(theta) in degrees at which the cylinder experiences the highest internal pressure (PP = peak pressure). We know that the peak pressure occurs at the point where 50% of the gas charge has been burned.
The understanding of Theta PP is crucial in undestanding what stresses are being put on an engine. For example, an engine with a ThetaPP of 16dATDC will produce MORE power and under less stress than the SAME engine at the SAME MP and RPM with a ThetaPP of 11dATDC.
We have come to appreciate that ThetaPP coupled with the peak internal cylinder pressure are the two most important things to know in any engine. At this point, the only people who can measure these events in real time on a running engine are at the Carl Goulet Memorial Engine Test Facility oin Ada, OK. We use this facility when we teach the Advanced Pilot Seminars.

Re: Re: Ground leaning
Well, I must say Walter, you don't give up your own opinions too easily! But I feel that your own arguments are what help to prove your errors.
Example: You wrote: "You know, this is so WRONG it's hard to respond to. It's very misleading. The above statement relates to takeoff power, not idle, low-power mixtures and the statement is really misleading. It is WRONG."
Response: But Walter, it is YOU who is suggesting to lean aggressively to the point of LOP during run-ups, and in the previous post, to advocate aggressively lean mixtures for high-altitude takeoff power.
It is exactly the technique you espouse, ...namely that of leaning aggressively for takeoff ... that you've also agreed with the mfr's may CAUSE that detonation! It is the very condition which TCM is advising AGAINST that you seem to be promoting.
You state ""Too lean" and "not rich enough" are NOT the same thing." (Are we both speaking ENGLISH?)
Walter, I am comfortable in "not rich enough" being equated to "too lean". You call it what you like,…the damn thing needs more fuel and the way to achieve that is push the mixture control forward.
You also wrote: "If one were to experience detonation, one of the quickest ways to STOP it is to turn one mag OFF. That causes the ThetaPP to be retarded, which retards the "effective ...blah blah blah..."
Walter, that would be true IF the cause of detonation were inflight mag-failure such as if the plastic mag distribution/rotor gear were stripped and stopped turning. (A common failure of mags, by the way.) In such a case, a 6-cylinder mag dist/rotor would stop turning but the mag would still be generating 6 plug firings to whichever plug it was pointed at, when only ONE of those sparks were being delivered at the correct TIME for that cylinder. In other words, that cylinder which received all 6 sparks would get ONE spark at the correct moment of firing, while the SAME cylinder would get FIVE MORE sparks at the WRONG moment, such as when the piston might be travelling upward, just BEGINNING a compression stroke, where such a spark might SERIOUSLY overstress that piston and connecting rod. (Would you be willing to agree that would likely deliver the symptoms of detonation to the cockpit occupant?)
Switching to the good mag would certainly kill the bad one and would instantly cause the engine to run smoothly again. Switching to the bad mag would cause the engine to either quit completely or at the very least run so rough as to scare a deaf mule.
But that situation has NOTHING to do with mixture.
Your recommendation to go running around at high power settings, already aggressively leaned near or beyond max EGT's, and then switch to one magneto just for the fun of doing so, endangers the public. (Most mfr's would have a rough-running engine FIRST enrichened, THEN a magneto check.)
In your own words, you agreed that a too-lean mixture, ...er excuse me,...a "not rich enough" mixture... would cause detonation at takeoff power. Exactly how do you define takeoff power? Isn't that full throttle, max power available (at least in most recip engines)? Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but the last time I flew a 172, 182, or 206, or ...go ahead, you name any normally aspirated reciprocating engined airplane, ...above about 7500 feet, the throttle WAS wide open! That was exactly the same condition that one might encounter during the high-altitude takeoffs we discussed earlier in this thread! (The one you disagreed about.)
You can call it ThetaPP or any other thing you like, but the reason I asked you if you'd ever looked at your EGT while you (foolishly, in my opinion) did mag checks while running high power settings in cruise was to draw your attention to the fact that while you are advocating this LOP operation for RUN UPs, ...you are actually (and erroneously, in my opinion) performing that run up operation while in cruise flight! (Wrong time, wrong place.) The REASON your EGT's increased when you switched to to one mag is (we agree) because some of those combustion mixtures are now being burned in your exhaust system, and NOT in your combustion chamber, and it is being noticed by your EGT probe. Not only is that the wrong place for combustion to be occuring, it's hard on your exhaust, your exhaust turbocharger (which in turn influences your induction manifold pressure) encouraging detonation. If you think your procedure doesn't place your exhaust system at risk you are mistaken.
When I talk about leaning to the point of backfire, I said exactly what I meant. You say you have radial engine experience. Have you never gotten rid of carburetor ice by leaning to the point of backfire? Never heard of it? You need to go talk to some old DC-3, Convair, and Martin pilots. It was common knowlege among all the old-timers as a way to clear iced carbs in the early radial engined airliners. The drawback to the procedure was the chance of causing damage to the induction system due to the backfire, but if a pilot had let carb ice develop to the point of losing power and available carb heat, and couldn't risk further loss by application of carb heat (perhaps due to carb temp indicator failure in the case of the Martin), leaning to the point of backfire was a well-known technique. (I only used it colloquially in the previous posting, but the technique was valid and real. I know. The first multi-engine time in my logbooks is DC-3 time logged as copilot for Avion, an early competitor of Trans Texas Airways (predecessor to Continental Airlines.)
Anyway, how 'bout we focus on what we DO agree upon. Leaning during ground ops (not exactly a life-threatening place), in CERTAIN airplanes is good for keeping plugs operating cleanly. Cruising LOP is OK and can save money in CERTAIN airplanes that have proper fuel distribution (fuel injection for example) and INSTRUMENTATION (such as a good quality, all-cylinder analyzer).
Which brings me to the question Walter asked earlier, "What is the difference in the physics of combustion in carbureted vs injected engines? The cylinder, air, and spark don't know how the fuel got there." Walter, this has got to be one of the defining moments of your misunderstanding of this subject. The difference is this: Fuel injected engines have fuel systems more sophisticated, more capable of careful fuel metering and more capable of delivering an accurate/consistent measure of fuel to each cylinder. They deliver their fuel via calibrated injectors directly at the induction point of each cylinder from a local source of fuel pressure, the so-called "spider" or fuel manifold. This gives each cylinder a nominally identical fuel charge. They do it without having their mixtures varied by any chance of carb-ice build-up which might richen such mixture. (Even within fuel injected engines however, there are small differences between cylinders for induction reasons common with carbureted engines.) Carbureted engines have a much cruder system. The carburetor is located farther away from the cylinder intakes, where it more crudely sprays fuel into the moving induction air with longer pipe distances to traverse before it gets to the cylinder. Some of those pipes deliver that fuel to the cylinder in such a short distance it may still contain raw fuel or overly rich mixtures, while other cylinders may get much leaner mixtures due to induction pipe/hose leakage, twisting/turning pipes, etc. Such engines simply can't be run with cylinders receiving sufficiently accurate and homogenous mixtures to recommend LOP operations except perhaps on just a few cylinders. If some cylinders are LOP, that means others are running richer, possibly IN THE VERY RANGE OF DANGER that proponents of LOP operations caution about.
Since cruder fuel delivery and cruder instrumentation is what most of these simple, carburetor-engined airplanes consist of, it seems irresponsible to me to recommend such advanced operating techniques categorically to everyone who flys.
I'll give you a big gold star for being suspicious of some mfr-issued documents. Many of them in recent years are written by the legal department. (King Air takeoff checklists have the pilot arm both the autofeather (which is designed to feather the prop instantly in case of failure) and the auto-ignition system (which is designed to do an instant re-start in case of failure) simultaneously on each takeoff. I can't think of anything I'd hate to do more while struggling to remain airborne and in directional control a few feet above the freeway traffic near the airport, than light off an engine that 1) has it's propeller feathered 2) has it's throttle wide open 3) and has it's combustion chambers and exhausts full of atomized fuel. Talk about fire/explosion hazard!) But those lawyers are doubtlessly convinced they've covered every emergency.
But ...as Walter says, the gasoline, piston-engine development hasn't changed a whole lot in recent years, so the procedures that have worked for the last 60 years are also STILL VALID!
Bottom line: (I'm pretty certain Walter and I will not see ourselves in agreement in an online discussion, as this is simply not the kind of media to discern the finer points of our differences. He and I may simply be gnashing our teeth over minor misunderstandings, or we may truly have widely diverse opinions.) I personally wish to caution everyone who has been following this discussion that not every advanced procedure is appropriate in all engines/airplanes just because it may work in some of them. Moderation in all things. (And don't try it with engines not properly instrumented.) The fuel is cheaper than the engine, is only an OWT when the price of oil goes up a whole lot more than it is lately.
(And Walter, It matters not who one works with. If one learns it wrong, applies it wrong, or simply tells it wrong, it's still wrong. Let's get together. I'll buy the first round.) ;Þ
Re: Re: Ground leaning
Well, isn't this going to be fun? It's cut and paste time again. <vbg>
I don't give up on my opinions because they are so strongly backed by the laws of physics.
<it is YOU who is suggesting to lean aggressively to the point of LOP during run-ups, and in the previous post, to advocate aggressively lean mixtures for high-altitude takeoff power. >
Yes I do recommend aggressive leaning for run-ups. At the very low powers of run-up, nothing is at risk at ANY mixture setting.
I have NEVER recommended taking off at aggressively leaned mixtures. If you got that out of anything I said it was a miscommunication. I know that about 250dF ROP is a good, safe mixture for max power. That certainly is not leaned for takeoff. At a high altitude airport, one must lean to that mixture to not be overly rich and lose too much power.
<It is exactly the technique you espouse, ...namely that of leaning aggressively for takeoff ... that you've also agreed with the mfr's may CAUSE that detonation!>
I have NOT recommended that. Period.
<You state ""Too lean" and "not rich enough" are NOT the same thing." >
They are simply NOT the same. Don;t feel like the Lone Ranger. This is a very common mistake and one which leads to a lOT of misunderstanding. Being, say 100dF ROP for takeoff is waaaay not rich enough at sea level. It is NOT too lean. It is NOT a lean mixture at all and to reference it as too lean is misleading. Rich mixtures are those in which there is more fuel than is burned by the available air--by definition, we call that a rich mixture. A lean mixture is one in which there is more air than can be used by the available fuel. I have taken off in what we call a FTLR engine (full time lean run) in which the mixture is never rich of peak EGT at any time. It is LEAN. Mixtures with extra fuel are RICH. Mixtures with extra air are LEAN. It is not possible, by proper defintion for ANY mixture rich of peak EGT to be too lean. It is not rich enough. That is a VERY important distinction and if you are not familiar with it, we cannot discuss these issues at all. This is a very basic concept which we find many people do not understand. Yes, we are both speaking English, but we clearly are not both using the same engineering defintion of terms. To properly communicate, we must do that.
50dF ROP is not a lean mixure. It is a RICH mixture. It is not too lean... it is not rich enough. Lean MUST refer to mixtures LOP. Otherwise we cannot discuss these issues with clarity.
<I am comfortable in "not rich enough" being equated to "too lean". You call it what you like,…the damn thing needs more fuel and the way to achieve that is push the mixture control forward.>
I hope I've set that issue to rest.
You spent a lot of time explaining some weird mag problem which cause detonation and it has nothing to do with this converstaion.
Here's an example. You are applying takeoff power and as a result of a very high CHT and maybe inadequate fuel flow (not rich enough?), detonation starts. You understand how to recongnize this on your engine monitor as detonation and you have a choice. You can immediately reduce power and hit the trees at the end of the runway or you can turn one mag off and continue to fly at max power. By turning one mag off, the flame front will be slower by 50%. This retards the effective timing. This reduces the ThetaPP dramatically. This reduces the pressure inside the cylinder and STOPS the detonation event. However, the engine continues to produce power and the airplane fly.
With all due restect, if you are unfamilair with the terms, of ThetaPP or *effective* timing, we will have some difficulty in the discussion.
As a DC-3 guy myself I know about leaning to backfire ice out. That was not what you said. You said I would backfire the exhaust off the airplane by doing a lean of peak, high power mag check. I stated that that would NOT be a backfire. You are discussing true backfire now. INTO the carburetor; not into the exhaust. It is NOT POSSIBLE to have a backfire out the exhaust. I have been doing in-flight mag checks for a long time. You need to see one.
George, you went through some long explanation about how injected engines and carbed engines are different, then said, "Such engines [carbureted] simply can't be run with cylinders receiving sufficiently accurate and homogenous mixtures to recommend LOP operations except perhaps on just a few cylinders. If some cylinders are LOP, that means others are running richer, possibly IN THE VERY RANGE OF DANGER that proponents of LOP operations caution about."
With your level of unsderstanding on this issue and the level of understanding I used to have, I would agree. The problem here is that WE both were making a WRONG assumptin for 40 years. I CAN and DO run carbureted engines LOP. I have fiugured out how to do that by getting ALL of the cylinders to have the SAME F:A ratios--yes, in a carbureted engine also. You would admit that IF one could get all of the cylinders to get the same F:A ratios that this would possible, right? Well, contrary to what WE thought for a long, long time, I am doing that. It turns ou that the carberetur is not as crude as we thought and that it CAN be a very nice way to get fuel evenly distributed. I would think that fact that this has just recently been discovered (last Feb.) would peak your interest in learning how.
<<Since cruder fuel delivery and cruder instrumentation is what most of these simple, carburetor-engined airplanes consist of, it seems irresponsible to me to recommend such advanced operating techniques categorically to everyone who flys. >>
It is important to have proper instrumentation. It is not my position that "all of the pilots we're talking to on this forum are too stupid to do this for themselves and they should not be informed of what is possible because they might hurt themselves." On the contrary, I think pilots are smart folks.
<But ...as Walter says, the gasoline, piston-engine development hasn't changed a whole lot in recent years, so the procedures that have worked for the last 60 years are also STILL VALID!>
Well, the PHYSICS hasn't changed, but our understanding of it sure has. And there is a lot of misunderstanding out there which has made 60 years worth of old wive's tales pretty hard to kill.
<Let's get together. I'll buy the first round.>
Now there's a hell of a good idea. I'll buy the second round.. but not before we go fly. I want you to SEE some of these things you have not seen before. Where are you based? I'm in Baton Rouge. Let's do it. Why not?

Re: Re: Ground leaning
I'm a Cessna owner that found this place just a few days ago, and I thought it might be a nice place to share and learn, then.....
Walter and George dukin it out on the internet.
Come on guys, people like me could care less how many degrees you hold, or how intelligent you can prove yourself to be. And the posting of these book length messages is a real show of your intelligence. It's like watching two bullies on the playground. I'd be willing to bet one of you doesn't shower cause you don't stink. Grow up.
I'll be moving on now, to a place more suited for ignorant people like me.
Re: Re: Ground leaning
I find this to be a fascinating subject and have enjoyed the spirited cross-fire. So far I've been able to interpret some very key points....everything the manufacturers teach is bunk and, hey, for a price, I can learn the "Real and Only" method for keeping my engine alive. Well folks, I've been working on airplanes for a long time and whenever someone tries to sell me on the "Best" product or method I smile and continue to do what works for me and my customers.
As far as ground leaning I'll have to agree with George....the idle mixture is metered ONLY by the idle mixture adjustment.....the mixture control acts only as a crude shut-off....and that's for carbureted or injected engines. Since our topic was ground leaning and not take-off, flying LOP vs. ROP in cruise etc. and the proper interpretation of graphic engine monitors in the quest for max power/best fuel flow I'll defer to the experts to start another topic covering that info.
Now, I'll soak my feet in Marvel Mystery Oil and wait for more sparks to fly :^)
Re: Re: Ground leaning
As I said in the very early messages on this topic:
Agressive ground leaning does several things.
1) it keeps plugs from fouling.
2) it keeps the piston head and valve heads from picking up deposits.
3) A ground leaned mag check is MUCH more diagnositc of ignition problems than a Rich mag check.
4) a properly, aggressively leaned engine on the ground will have lower CHTs prior to takeoff power being applied.
There are NO known downsides to agressively leaning on the ground. Leaning inadequately is not good. Be very aggressive. So much so that it won't take power without dying. Since praticing this, I have not had a fouled plug (in ten years) and I have picked up weak plugs many times which passed the full rich mag check.

<As far as ground leaning I'll have to agree with George....the idle mixture is metered ONLY by the idle mixture adjustment.....the mixture control acts only as a crude shut-off....and that's for carbureted or injected engines.>
That statement is simply not in harmony with the known observations. I would be more than happy to SHOW you and prove that you can ground lean carbureted engines as well as injected engines. There are hundreds of people doing it as a matter of routine. Below is a note from a Beech owner off of the Beechlist on some of what we have been discussing in this topic in which it was stated that running on one mag caused detonation:
Shut off one mag in flight and watch the EGTs rise 80 degrees. At the same time you'll see the CHTs fall and you'll lose some airspeed. If you get a nice rise on all six cylinders on each magneto, you can be confident that your ignition system is working great, and you'll realize that your EGTs are much cooler than you ever thought before.
You might want to consider signing up for the Advanced Pilot Seminar where you can get a thorough immersion in these topics. I got a lot out of the course myself.
Jonathan Fuller
There are hundreds of people aggressively ground leaning (I've been doing it for many years on both carbureted and injected engines) and if it isn't possible, how is it working?
Confusious say, "Don't tell man already doing something that it impossible."
As for selling knowledge... I don't think I'll respond to that. You certainly don't have to learn. The FAA thinks enough of our course that it is authorized for 100% of the annual renewal of the IA Certificate. The FAA engine directorate is paying attention. Numerous overhauls shops' owners have attended. Many pilots are flying as we teach. Anyone can be left behind. Will you be one of them? Ain't America great? It's your choice.
Walter Atkinson
Re: Re: Ground leaning
I am talking about operations at IDLE....no other power setting...if you have to compensate with aggressive mixture at idle you've got other problems....the least of which is a misadjusted idle mixture and possibly excessive idle fuel pressure on TCM fuel injection. In Arizona my customers get idle checks and adjustments twice a year at a minimum...on newer Cessnas that's mandatory. I'm sure you are familiar with the idle circuit in the fuel system...so tell me what your RPM rise should be with mixture full rich at idle.
As for the FAA thinking enough about your program to give me credit for IA renewal......I can get that free here because I do this for a living...approximately 20 annuals per year and countless major repairs, conversions and mods. I'm not dismissing your program and I'm sure I would learn a bunch there...I learn at every school I attend. I'm just not on this list to troll for business.
Re: Re: Ground leaning
While I'm not on this list to troll for business either, many people ask me how I know and where do I get my information and data. I tell them. I'm not embarrased about that. I also am on this list to impart knowledge and gain some.
You asked me a question about rpm rise. I assume you mean idle mixture rpm rise on shut down? 25-50 rpm is generally recommended. That's where I generally set mine. That is not at all what I'm taking about. Here is another post from another Cessna Board from someone who is properly ground leaning. I'm not the only one. Notice he's doing this in an injected AND a carbureted engine? How is he doing this if it's impossible?
I concur with the taxi leaning mentioned...lean until it stumbles, then richen enough to let you taxi...I do this on the 210 and 172 and never get fouled plugs...I even do this at sea level...plugs foul anywhere. I believe the press that the power setting at taxi is too low to hurt the engine, and the mixture is too lean to let one start a takeoff without remembering to enrichen it...engine won't run at higher than taxi speed if it's leaned down far enough for a foul-free taxi.
I've found the position of the mixture knob seems to vary some every time it's worked on...so leaning to a particular length extending from the panel will vary from plane to plane, or repair to repair, it seems.

Re: Re: Ground leaning
Another note from that *other* Cessna board. On a carbureted engine, no less.
I try to lean out the engine as soon as possible after starting. Like everyone else, I lean until it stumbles then richen just enough to keep it running.
The interesting thing I discovered is that if I'm starting up the engine when it's cold (and by cold I don't mean 35 degrees out, I just mean not a hot start), once the engine warms up a bit, I can lean it further. So for example, I might be able to lean it out 3" after start up, but by the time I taxi to the runup area on the other side of the airport, I can lean it out another inch or so.
Whoever came up with that ground leaning advice really did good. I've never had a fouled plug in 900 hours of Skylane flying.
Re: Re: Ground leaning
If, at normal operating temps, the idle mixture is set correctly, the idle rpm is set correctly and boost pressures and altitude compensation are on the mark you don't need to pull the mixture to lean it...it should be set lean enough to prevent fouling. I will agree leaning is a good idea on a cold engine, above idle, to get it up to operating temps. And that includes the taxi out for take-off because the Moose won't taxi at idle...hah! My IO-520D never, I mean NEVER, fouls plugs and I've spent a lot of time keeping it tuned properly. I've found an engine that routinely fouls plugs has other issues that need investigation and compensating by agressive leaning is putting a bandaid on a cancer patient. I don't teach engine maintenance...I perform it...every day.
To pass along some things I've learned I'll submit the following....the engine NEEDS an engine monitor...I think that one piece of electronics is essential to engine health. I put an index under the instrument to show the pilot what mag fires what plug (makes troubleshooting simple). Teach the pilot how to use the darn thing (now THAT you can help with) Vernier mixture...nuff said! Digital tach...awesome. Keep the engine CLEAN! Keep the air filter CLEAN! Avoid ground ops with alt air or carb heat (DUH!) Pressure test the induction and exhaust system every 100 hours or annual. Replace old plug wires and old plugs. Clean the injectors every 100 hours or annual (I DO like the GAMI's). Check the float level in the carb and make sure the primer isn't leaking....
While I'm sure your seminars are informative and worth every penny I'll invite you out to my shop and teach you routine engine maintenance for free....just so YOU won't be left behind ;^)
Re: Re: Ground leaning
While this thread has been going on, I have had my annual done on my 182E. I have been aggressively leaning for my ground operations, as I have described in this thread. With many things being said in this post, I got to wondering about my idle-rich mixture. After we put the plane back together, I asked my mechanic to look at the mixture rise at idle cutoff. With the throttle closed the rpm is 550. Then when the mixture is brought back to cutoff the rpm rose to 675-700 rpm. The tech then adjusted the mixture to get only a 50 rpm rise at cutoff. Maybe this will improve the ground operations to a point of not having plug fouling while warming up and taxiing. I still plan to lean for ground ops, though.
Re: Re: Ground leaning
WOW, an excellent set of maintenance recommendations which parallels our recommendaitons exactly (I'm an A&P also). If all owners/pilots would copy that last message and do as you are recommending, we'd have a LOT safer fleet. NO doubt about it. Maintenance bills would be lower, too.
You also have something else right, the PILOT's ability to understand his engine monitor and use it for proper trouble shooting is waaaay behind the power curve. We spend a LOT of time teaching these things.
I sorta-agree on the idle mixture issue... it's just that the idle mixture should be set as you describe for ISA sea level. What about in the summer? Do you reset it summer and winter? What about high altitude airports? Do you reset it when you go somewhere else? Of course not. It has been my extensive experience that while what you say is technically correct (that we shouldn't have to ground lean) we find it is VERY beneficial to do so for many other reasons. You are right in that if you must lean to get the engine to run right, something is wrong. That is not what I'm advocating.
Also, we really should get together. Anyone as knowledgeable as you and who recommends engine monitors would really find agresively leaned mag checks and in-flight mag checks very interesting and educational. I have no doubt that WE could teach EACH OTHER some stuff.
Where is your shop?

Re: Re: Ground leaning
A 50 rpm rise might be considered a tad on the rich side. OTOH, those who set it below a 25 rise often find it tough to start and keep running at high altitude airports.
In any case, it's one heck of a lot better than it was. <g>

Re: Re: Ground leaning
Shop is in Tucson (KRYN) Ryan Airfield. And I do set the mixtures for Summer and Winter ops. Since our Summer DA's are typically over 5000' I've found little problem keeping them adjusted for our conditions. Adjusting for ISA Sea Level in the Arizona Summer would be a challenge :^)
This whole thread got skewed. I agree ground leaning is a good idea at anything above idle. Using the mixture at 600-800 RPM is'nt. I do leaned mag checks...take the engine to @ 2000 RPM, lean to peak for 20-30 seconds, leave the mixture where it is and reduce to 1800 for the checks (except on the Franklin 6A-350-C1R) Mag checks in flight....might be good for some...not me. I'm usually down around <100' AGL and shutting a mag off takes my eyes off other things...hehehe.
I install the EDM-700 in every customer plane I care for. It sells itself so my job is easy...I just install it and watch them geegosh after the first flight. Funny how that one instrument keeps their minds sharp on how every cylinder, every plug is performing. Teaching them to use it is the real trick...but once they learn and apply the basics I see a marked improvement in the oil color and plug condition.
RPM rise at shutdown is baselined down around 20-50 RPM but I also fly the plane and see how it accelerates from idle to full power (go around)....if it really stumbles I'll adjust it to where a smooth application of throttle results in a smooth increase in RPM....nuff said. Come on out to Tucson...but wait till Winter or you will regret the visit ;^)
Re: Re: Ground leaning
I enjoyed this thread. For a while. But I lost interest when Mr. Atkinson dishonestly accused Mr. Horn of calling pilots here too "stupid". Mr. Horn never said that and he's never made me feel that way. Only Mr. Atkinson implied that he did by putting his own sentence in quotation marks to make it appear that he was quoting Mr. Horn. It was a telling moment as to what lengths Mr. Atkinson would go to sell his product. No thanks.
As for plug fouling, I've flown professionally for 22 years, and I've never performed "ground leaning" and I've never experienced a fouled plug from not leaning an otherwise healthy engine. Mr. Horrell and Mr. Horn are both correct. A healthy well-adjusted engine doesn't foul plugs and doesn't need "ground leaning". Atkinson should go sell pink-elephant guns. He could prove their effectiveness by pointing out the lack of pink-elephants in the area.
Re: Re: Ground leaning
Seems like we agree on a lot more than we disagree on. I'll stop in Tuscon one of these days. You do have an unusual situation compared to most with the radical change in summer and winter temps and DA. As much as I travel, I'd find it irritating to be constantly altering the idle mixture. I set it for ISA, and adjust at high temps and altitudes. It works best over the wide range of places I regularly visit and that's what I think the OEMs had in mind.
You can always lean it a tad, but it's damned hard to richen it up to keep it running when you're already full rich. <g>
You're right, these threads do get twisted around some and I HATE trying to communicate details over a keyboard. It's fraught with difficulty.
In the end, we agree to a very large degree and that makes me feel better--two A&Ps oughta have very few minor misalignments and NO major ones, wouldn't you agree?
I need to show you these in-flight mag checks. They are great for trouble-shooting. I do one on every flight right before beginning the descent. That way early problems are identified and can be addressed before the next flight. No delays at the run-up area. <g> I recently found a plug that was misfiring on the LOP in-flight mag check on a friend's 206 yet it passed the rich mag check. On inspection it had a small crack in the ceramic and was arcing and about to fail completely. Saved me time and money. Taxied up to the shop and said, "Please change the top plug on the #4 cylinder." The mechanic said, "You've been watching that damned JPI again, haven't you?"
Yep. Saved hours of trouble shooting because the plug showed good on a rich run-up and on the bomb test. I've kept that plug to use as a demo. It's impressive to see it fail on the high-stress test, but pass everything else. Good plugs don't do that.

Mr. Tacket:
<<But I lost interest when Mr. Atkinson dishonestly accused Mr. Horn of calling pilots here too "stupid". Mr. Horn never said that and he's never made me feel that way. Only Mr. Atkinson implied that he did by putting his own sentence in quotation marks to make it appear that he was quoting Mr. Horn.>>
I think you may have misread this.
Here are the quotes:
From Mr. Horn:
<<Since cruder fuel delivery and cruder instrumentation is what most of these simple, carburetor-engined airplanes consist of, it seems irresponsible to me to recommend such advanced operating techniques categorically to everyone who flys. >>
From me:
It is important to have proper instrumentation. It is not my position that "all of the pilots we're talking to on this forum are too stupid to do this for themselves and they should not be informed of what is possible because they might hurt themselves." On the contrary, I think pilots are smart folks.
I said it was not MY position... I did not say it was HIS position. If you feel the above exchange called anyone a liar, I'm missing something and I appologize to you, PERSONALLY. I read his post as saying that there are people here who shouldn't hear of advanced techniques. I disagree with that.
My position is that the people here are smart enough to decide for themselves once they look at the data. I certainly did not intend to call anyone a liar and I don't think I did. I just tried to compliment the people on this forum.
As I said, you must have misread the post. At the least, you misunderstood my position. I certainly didn't intend to upset you so badly.
If you had read on, I had asked George to call me. So far, I haven't heard from him. Hope I do.
BTW, I don't sell pink elephant guns. <G> My dog keeps the pink elephants away. Shes' good at it. Haven't seen one since my sophomore year of college. <VBG> Heck after this thread I might drink enough to see another one.
We're only talking about ground leaning fercryinoutloud. What happens around here when a SERIOUS topic gets started?
Re: Re: Ground leaning
You did fine - Walter. I think aviation professionals are proud of their profession and sometimes Ego's get a bit stepped on. (that goes for all of us) Can you imagine if this was a topic on the proper methods of doing a "Heart Transplant" by a bunch of Cessna flyin' Doctors?? That would really be scarey.. Enjoyed your points - as well as Mr.Horn's.. How about starting a new subject. You pick!

Exploring the amazing Mayan Riviera coastline on the Yucatan Peninsula with Paul
Sanchez-Navarro, Director of Centro Ecologico Akumal, is truly a fantastic eco-travel and
environmental experience. In the video below we visit the unique eco-system of
the coastline mangrove jungles - literally climbing in the coastal waters to
show viewers the eco-system - and educate on how important the mangroves are
to water conservation on the coastline of Mexico.
Visiting the coastal mangroves with Paul is a fabulous eco-travel treat - it
is true adventure to travel through a jungle - and he treats us to a view of the
mangroves directly from the ocean. As you get closer to the jungle you can see
this amazing forest of gnarled, jagged trees
protruding up from the sands and
water. These roots are anchored in the coastal sand, yet sometimes you can find
the roots thick in deep, black, mud, or in the cenote canals in the wetlands
farther down the coast. At other times the ocean cleanses the roots and brings
in millions of fish and ocean life in abundance and is what we see as we stand
in the ocean water to shoot our video mini-series. Green fingers of jungle
stretch above us to the hot sun. This is where land and ocean intertwine and
life is reborn along the Mexican coast of the Yucatan peninsula.
Mangrove jungles are incredibly important to the coastline of Mexico and are
really "rainforests by the sea" that grow in tropical and subtropical tidelands
all over the world. Mangrove forests are comprised of diverse, salt-tolerant
tree and other plant species which thrive in salt water or a mix of fresh and
salt water, specifically inter-tidal zones of estuaries, sheltered tropical
shores, and small over-wash islands. While other plant life dies with the
over-exposure to salt water, Mangrove trees have amazingly adapted unique aerial
and salt-filtering roots and salt-excreting leaves that enable them to occupy
the saline wetlands. The result is the Mangrove forest.
Mangrove forests are vital for healthy coastal ecosystems, in fact, this is
why the Mexican government is restricting building along the coast. The forest
detritus, consisting mainly of fallen leaves and branches from the mangroves,
provides marine environment nutrients and supports baby "fish hatcheries" as
well as immense varieties of sea life in intricate food chains. The shallow
inter-tidal reaches that distinguish the mangrove wetlands offer refuge and
nursery grounds for juvenile fish, crabs, shrimps, and mollusks. They are also
prime nesting and migratory sites for hundreds of bird species. Many other
animals occupy or temporarily utilize mangroves, including sea turtles,
manatees, crab-eating monkeys, fishing cats, monitor lizards, birds, plus dozens
of other varieties of fish use the mangroves as protected nurseries.
Centro Ecologico
Akumal is a not-for-profit organization founded in 1993,
to "monitor the impact of development on the regional ecosystems and culture, to
report findings and their significance to the public through education, and
influence public policy". It's efforts to support and education on water
conservation and eco-system protection are making a true difference in Akumal,
Mexico. To support them by volunteering or donating, please go here - http://www.ceakumal.org .

Survey Reveals Keys to Success of Women-Owned Small Businesses
The annual MasterCard Worldwide Women in Small Business survey was conducted by Ipsos to gain insight into the reasons why women are starting their own businesses, how they pay for business-related expenses and the challenges they face in trying to establish and run successful businesses.
Segment Overview: Women-Owned Businesses Growing at Unprecedented Rates
As of 2006, there are estimated to be 7.7 million majority women-owned firms (firms at least 51 percent owned by a woman or women). Between 1997 and 2006 the number of majority women-owned firms grew from 5.4 to 7.7 million, up 42 percent—almost double that of all firms (23 percent).
In 2006, majority women-owned firms are expected to generate more than $1 trillion in revenues and employ 7.2 million workers.
2006 MasterCard Women in Small Business Survey Results
Payment card usage
- Payment cards are prevalent among women small business owners with a majority holding either a credit card (52 percent) or a debit card (30 percent), while 19 percent hold both. In 2005, 56 percent held a business credit card and 28 percent held a business debit card.
Forty-two percent of women entrepreneurs make more than half of their purchases with a credit or debit card. Only 11 percent say that fewer than 5 percent of their business purchases are made this way.
- More than half of women (53 percent) say they completely separate personal and business finances. However, 34 percent say they do overlap to some degree. In 2005, 45 percent of women reported some overlap or no separation at all between personal and business finances.
Funding a Business
- Two out of three respondents (63 percent) used personal savings to finance the start-up of their companies. This is unchanged from 2005.
- A large majority of women (86 percent) did not seek external funding from a financial institution to start their business, just 14 percent did. Of those seeking external funding, 79 percent were successful in receiving the amount they were looking for.
- Two out of three respondents (63 percent) used personal savings to finance the start-up of their companies. This is unchanged from 2005.
Managing Finances
- One-third of women small business owners (33 percent) use a money management software application to handle their finances, up from 27 percent reported in 2005. In fact, the use of money management software has replaced an accountant as the No.1 method for financial management.
Motivations & Challenges
- The primary motivator for women to start their own business is the opportunity to be their own boss (33 percent). This is followed by the opportunity to generate household income (21 percent), have more schedule flexibility (19 percent) and more time for family and personal interests (17 percent). These top reasons are relatively unchanged from 2005.
- Women working full-time are more motivated by a desire to be their own boss (41 percent), while key motivators for women working part-time include a desire for flexibility in their schedule (29 percent) and having more time for family and personal interests (24 percent).
- The main challenges women entrepreneurs said they face are stretching themselves across multiple roles and projects (25 percent), health cares costs (18 percent), balancing family and work (14 percent) and effectively managing cash flow (7 percent).
The Benefits of MasterCard Payment Solutions for Small Business Owners
Zero Liability Protection for Small Business
On September 1, 2006 MasterCard launched zero liability protection for small business cardholders. With this protection, U.S. small business owners and their employees may not be held liable by card issuers in the event of an unauthorized use of their U.S.-issued MasterCard BusinessCard or Debit MasterCard BusinessCard in a store, over the telephone or online. More information about the terms associated with zero liability protection is available at www.mastercardbusiness.com/zeroliability.
Rewards programs—Small business cards often offer flexible and valuable rewards, including reward air travel with no blackout periods, discounts at retail locations and even cash back on purchases.
Financial organization—With a business card, business owners keep their business and personal expenses separate, while receiving additional accounting advantages, including itemized quarterly and annual purchase summaries.
Establishing a business credit history—By establishing business credit history that is separate from their personal credit history, entrepreneurs are more likely to qualify for business lending sources when the need arises.
Distribute purchasing responsibilities—Business owners can provide certain employees with their own business cards, while dictating specific spending controls and restrictions. The business owner can then track and manage these additional accounts via the Internet with a number of Web-based reporting tools that can be accessed at virtually any time.
Cash/money management—Detailed, timely and accurate reporting tools accompany business payment cards. In addition to managing and tracking employee spending online, business owners can receive comprehensive daily, weekly or monthly financial reports.

Man, I'm glad I did. This show is spectacular! Moody and stylish, AF drops you right in to a futuristic, Blade Runner-esque society. It's dark, and strangely beautiful. The voice acting is good, and the story lines are strong.
This show was something rare and something very different. It still amazes me that this ever got onto TV. It is a series that is at once very philosophical while being also very surreal. Each episode explores some new twisted dimension of thought.
I would hesitate to show this to small children as there is some violence and mild sexual innuendo. The deeper story of each episode would also elude a small child.
Other than that, I highly suggest it!

Thanks all for your responses. So, after all this, what would you guys recommend for my EOS3? I only asked about the Sigma lenses because I'm very happy with my 30mm/1.4 I use with my Digital Rebel XTi.
So, I guess, the new question is, what kind of all-around lens should I get for my EOS3?

Home to more than 20 million people, the city of Shanghai has been blanketed by a thick layer of smog for days.
Reduced visibility has resulted in hundreds of canceled flights, and health worries have prompted schools to close. A change in weather patterns is causing conditions to improve, but air in the city is still classified as unhealthy for sensitive groups.

Originally written on SteelerAddicts | Last updated 5/29/12
As we remember our soldiers this past Memorial Day weekend, I was thinking also about a topic to write about. I tend to do that a lot, multi tasking. While surfing through Google (man Mr. Google is amazing isn't he?) I came across some information and quotes on Steelers 3rd yr NT Steve McLendon. However before going any further let's be clear, by referencing a military topic in the title of this piece, I'm not insinuating that any Steeler or NFL player on any other team should be referred to as a "soldier" or "warrior". One of our good friends, Craig Wolfley, is very keen to that fact. His son is currently serving in the military, something he is very proud of. No sports player anywhere should be referred with those monikers. Our fighting men and women, both present and past, are the real hero's and warriors to be proud of. Still though when you look at the Steelers current group of nose tackles; McLendon, Hampton, and Steve McLendon are definitely some of the biggest guys on the r...

lineup to only 4 runs, and got more than enough offense to coast to the win. (details to follow)
The Phillies trailed 2-0 late to Hall of Famer Joe Greene, pitcher for the Athletics, but a couple of errors by the normally slick fielding
Athletics opened the door for 3 runs, and the Phillies, with rookie manager Dan Jarvis driving in what would turn out to be the winning
run, held on for the crown. Warren Hanson went the route, allowing only 2 runs to the regular season champs.

Danny Alejandro and the Padres completed the 2014 season sweep, winning both the spring and fall
seasons, in a tough victory over the upstart Mets. League historians are poring over the archives, but
suffice it to say that it has been a long while since a team won it all in both the spring and the fall.
Congratulations to both of these fine clubs, to all of their players and fans! Hopefully more details and
pictures to follow soon!
Also congratulations to the Reds and Mets, both playing in the rarefied air of the finals in the Mets
case for the first time, and in the Reds case in a long time. Tips of the cap to Joe Machovina and Pete
Parilla and their squads for great seasons, you know they'll both be back.
Finally, the first member of the Class of '14 was honored at the end of the game, Felix Soto Toro of the
Mets. Congratulations Felix, full writeups and acknowledgement will be forthcoming.
Thanks for another great season everybody, 2015 is right around the corner so rest up!!
Here are some highlights from our correspondent on the ground:
The Lake County Mets will make their first ever appearance in the MSBL Championship series.
The Mets propelled themselves into the championship showdown Vs the 2X Champ powerhouse Orlando Padres this coming Sunday, December 14th, 2014.
In a pitching duel, the Mets defeated the DCs by a final score of 1-0 on a 9 inning gem from Mets ace and fall 2014 team Cy Young Award winner Luis Rodriguez.
Luis was spectacular on the mound tossing 9 complete frames of 4 hit baseball to go along with 5 punch outs. The Mets defense was superb and committed no errors in this game.
Credit to the DCs for a great battle as the Mets did not hit well and were only able to push the game's lone run across the plate on an errant throw in the bottom of the first inning.
DCs pitcher Joey Neira was awesome on the mound for the DCs only giving up 2 hits in 9 innings of work.
SO Championship Sunday looks like this: Reds@ Pirates at 9 AM, Mets @ Padres at 12:30, both game at South Orange. Come on out for some season-ending championship baseball between 4 great teams!!
9 AM South Orange 9 AM Criollos @ Padres -winner advances to championship game vs. winner of
Noon or as soon as possible: Angels @ Pirates winner advances to meet Reds for championship of 25+
3 PM or as soon as possible Winner of Noon game @ Reds
All South Orange games are normal game length rules, no new inning after 2:40, for today only.
Trotters 9 AM A's @ Old Reds makeup game.
Hello MSBL family and friends. I have recently become aware of a very special act of kindness on behalf one of the Lake County Mets most prolific players.
He is not only an excellent player, teammate and friend but "unbeknownst" to us, he is also a hero to many of his countrymen's underprivileged children in the Dominican Republic. Our very own Francis Vasquez through his church's and personal networks has been delivering toys to underprivileged children in the
Dominican Republic for quite some time now during the holiday seasons.
This is truly a commendable action; and I would like to invite you all to take part in bringing joy to an underprivileged child this holiday season.
The Lake County Mets will be collecting new unwrapped toys on Sunday, November 16th and November 23rd at Colonial High School from 9am until 2pm.
If you'd like to stop by and share a little bit of your good fortune it will be very much appreciated.
Hope to see all of you at the ballpark and thank you in advance for your generosity!
You may also contact Francis directly at email@example.com
It looked like the Reds might get out of there comfortably, going in to the bottom of the seventh with a 9-5 lead. Things got interesting when the Angels managed to put one across home and load up the bases with two outs. In the end Matt came through in the clutch, forcing a ground ball out to end the game 9-6.
Thank you to all the players on both teams for coming out and fighting hard.
Angels Highlights
Game 1 On a muggy June Sunday afternoon June 22, the Angels and Pirates squared off in the
championship opener and in the early going, runs seemed at a premium as both pitching staffs were
dueling. It wasn't until the bottom of the sixth that the Pirates chased the Angels starter and broke open a 3-
0 lead. The next few innings had the making of a defensive clinic until suddenly the Angels bats decided it
was early for a hibernation and the score went into the latter innings knotted at three a piece. The Pirates
tacked one on in their half of the eighth and seemed to be well on their way to putting the Angels in a hole
for the series. The top of the 9th set the landscape for a theatrical closing as Jared Hess came to the plate
with two out and a runner on, to send the 2-2 offering over the left field wall where some proud youngster
scurried for the souvenir moon shot. The Pirates rallied in the 9th putting two runners in scoring position
with two outs and their heart of their potent order dwelling. The game ended on a high bounding grounder
in the 3rd and Short hole, which seemed to have eyes initially and on a photo finish type play at 1st the side
was retired and the Angels had held on in a tight one to win 5-4.
Game 2 Sundays game 2 of the 25+ championship series saw the Angels unseat the defending
champion Pirates. The Angels rallied for a 7-0 lead in the 2nd inning, one of two innings in which the Angels
batted through their lineup. The solid hitting and persistence of the Pirates helped them to narrow the gap
to an 8-7 Angels lead in the 6th, where the Angels defense held serve. In the bottom of the 7th, the Angels
bats erupted once again to post 8 more runs, closing the door in a rain shortened game that sealed a 16-7
victory against a solid defending champion in the Pirates. The Angels got production from top to bottom in
their lineup in this series and committed only a single error in the duel, solidifying their most impressive
stretch of baseball all season against the strongest opponent in the league. Congratulations to both teams
for representing the league in this series, which closes out yet another season in the 25+. (Eric Heberling
Padres Highlights
Game 1 Angel Miranda pitched 5 innings for the win with Pete Correa coming in to relieve and shut
down a bases loaded Criollos rally in the 6th. A balanced Padres hitting attack with Jose Birriel going 3 for 3
with a double and rbi, Luis Melendez went 2 for 4 with 3 rbi's, Jose Lind went 3 for 4 with a double and rbi,
Pete Correa went 2 for 3 with 2 rbi's and Jose Granado going 2 for 4 with a double and rbi.
Game 2 Papa Ortiz pitched 5 1/3 innings for the clinching win. The Padres lineup was led by Jose
Lind who homered in going 2 for 4 with 3 rbi's and Danny Alejandro who went 3 for 4 with a double and 2
rbi's. It was a complete and total team effort. (Danny Alejandro reporting)
The game was a heart-
stopper for the DC's and their fans, and a heart-breaker for the Padres. Cesar
Cedeno and Carmelo Morges started for their respective teams and threw up
goose eggs until the 4th, when the Padres broke through. Pete Correa had a 2-
run single with 2 out after an error and a walk for 2 unearned runs, but they
looked to be enough, as Morges continued to mow down DC hitters.
In the 8th,
the DC's finally broke through when Angel Davila led off the bottom of the frame
with a long HR to left. But Morges settled down to clear the inning without further
damage. Not scoring in the top half of the 9th meant they had 3 outs to get to
reclaim the crown they won last fall. But Jorge Rosado led off the DC half of the
9th with a single, and in a somewhat controversial call, manager John Rios had
Felix Lopez sacrifice Rosado into scoring position, which he did perfectly. After a
ground out to 2nd, the DC's were down to their last out. But Robert Michel came
up huge, ripping a clutch single to score Rosado with the tying run.
On to
extra innings, where Ferdie Medina continued a streak of 7 consecutive
scoreless innings in relief before the DC's came to bat in the bottom of the 11th.
Angel Davila led off with a walk, and promptly stole second. This took the bat out
of the hands of offensive juggernaut German "Deportivo" Rivera, as he was
passed intentionally by Pads manager Danny Alejandro. Victor Vidal attempted to
bunt the runners along, and pitcher Manny Rentana, who earlier had thrown out
not one but 2 DC runners attempting to stretch singles into doubles from left,
made a strong throw to third to get the lead runner, but Davila was faster and all
hands were safe. Bases loaded, nobody out, the Padres had to pull everybody in
to Little League depth. But Jorge Ravelo found some space with a line drive to
left, and this epic battle was over, and the DC's reigned.
A true classic on an
unseasonably warm December day. Fantastic competition, great sportsmanship,
baseball at it's finest. Congratulations to the DC's on another crown and a magical
season, and to the Padres, this was a game it was truly a shame that anyone had
to lose.
But the DC's were able to defy the odds and hung on for an amazing win, 12-11, in the July heat,after a long season, with their pitching running thin,
Congratulations to both teams on a truly classic championship series! More details and pictures are forthcoming.
"Hey B Wow I was surprised to learn of one of our umpires passing,..sad.. Dave was a nice down to earth type of guy..he called many of my games..and although he may have missed a few calls (or strikes) i never gave him a hard time thoughts go out to his family.............that being said,....I , with heavy heart, and reluctantly, formally announce my retirement from the Orlando Msbl, "that was a tough sentence to type",...Health issues and an impending heart transplant have relagated me to the sidelines and no longer have the energy to be productive in our league,.. I will miss all the friends I have made,.and maybe a few enemies along the way,lol. but I will forever cherish the many years spent at the fields.. I thank you for all you have done for me,. and will never forget it,... I had a blast....you have my permission to post my email addr.(email@example.com) if any of the guys would like to drop me a note or get together that would be great Thanks again Brian for your tireless commitment to our league, I couldnt have played under a better president...humbly yours, Frank Shaw 99"
There aren't many men I've known in my life for whom I can use the word 'admiration'. I've respected many, admired very few. Jeff was one. Coaching our sons (his Mikey and my Cameron) together at Delaney Park LL will be the image of Jeff and his wonderful family I will retain until that day when I can shake his hand again. There is not a single person in my life that bore a greater personal burden more gracefully than Jeff Lumbert. His eulogy for his son Mikey was an act of fatherly love and Christian testimony that astounded me. I have preached at my own family's funerals, and probably will again, but I can tell you with certainty that I have never been more in awe of a man's faith and composure than on that morning at First Baptist when Jeff stood in the pulpit for the second time in 6 months to speak of a departed son and to call upon his listeners to seek the Lord while he may be found. You have a son. I have a son. I cannot humanly fathom what kind of strength that must have required. Jeff would be quick to remind this Christian brother that it wasn't in his own strength that he was able to do such a thing. That is a truth I fully believe, yet it was beyond amazing to see it demonstrated before my very eyes that day. And it gave me great hope that when the need is there for us the Lord will keep his promise to "give us a mouth and wisdom which none shall be able to gainsay nor resist."
I am also grateful that the final time I spoke to Jeff was last fall on a baseball field, Jones 1 to be precise. I think a few people were startled to see the shortstop turn a double play and then hug the guy coming to second. The SS was me and without my glasses I hadn't recognized Jeff playing until he got that close to me. There is something intensely moving for me in that memory. The last time I saw him I hugged him, and the next time I see him I'll hug him.
Our friendship was not as close in the world as I would have liked, we traveled in slightly different circles, but it will be eternal. It may seem a bit silly to a disinterested bystander that a boy's game keeps being mentioned as a central fact of a grown man's life, but you and I know differently, don't we? The game is the tableau, the canvas, the stage, whatever metaphor a better poet than I can summon. Like battle it enables the emotional connections that define friendship, commitment, honor, brotherhood, and the intensity of life. I am indebted to Jeff Lumbert for eternity for his part in all that. And I am indebted to you for the part you play in these things as a builder and keeper of that metaphor.
Deo Vindice,
Bob McMillin
