"Dear seller" letters back in homebuying
Buying a house these days is like applying for a job.
Opportunities can be scarce and you have a small window of time to make a shining impression.
"The buyer is engaged to be married and they plan to live in the home after their marriage," writes a San Diego real estate agent Dave Dennis on behalf of his client. "Buyer will cover his own closing costs. ... Buyer will credit seller $5,000 towards seller's closing costs!"
"(The buyer) is well qualified to successfully close escrow on your home," reads another letter written by Dennis for a separate client. "With strong income and sufficient assets, we expect the loan portion of the transaction to be streamlined."
Such pitches from prospective homebuyers — also known as love letters — are re-emerging in hot real estate markets like San Diego and other parts of Southern California. They often include family photos and strive to stir the emotions of the seller to give the homebuyer an edge — especially when many bidders are competing for the same property.
The goal is to dazzle sellers and win the deals.
"Whatever we can do to make us stand out and make our buyer stand out, whether it works out (or not,) we just want to make our buyer have a little leg up on their competition," said Patrick Hale, a San Diego real estate broker who encourages his agents to try different things to help their clients stand out and close the sale.
These love letters, which are included with offers, are not new to the industry but their resurgence is more proof that the housing market is on the rebound after a five-year slump.
San Diego home values ended 2012 at $366,000, the highest median price since June 2008. Meanwhile, the housing inventory in San Diego County is so tight that buyers can get in the middle of bidding wars.
There were roughly 4,100 active San Diego County listings in January, the lowest number in at least 3½ years, show numbers from the Greater San Diego Association of Realtors that start in summer of 2009. While inventory numbers have ticked up slightly in the past two months, which is normal for spring, the listing total is still lower than normal.
Limited inventory and increasing home values have pushed potential homebuyer to do anything extra to help them stand out, something that's becoming more common — and possibly more necessary — within the past six months, real estate agents say.
Newlyweds Adam and Molly Sarasin saw the odds stacked against them when they started searching for their first home last spring. Four months in, they realized cash buyers were routinely knocking them out of the running.
"It was exhausting," said Adam, 26. "We definitely found that inventory was too low. ... Competition was way too high."
Instead of giving in, they tugged at heartstrings. The couple submitted a cover letter, penned by their real estate agent, Hale.
"Adam met a wonderful young woman, Molly, and they will soon be getting married," reads the letter, titled "Offer On Your Home." "They love your house since it is updated on the interior and will have enough room for an office, their bedroom and what they hope to soon be a baby room.
"I hope this gives you a good overview of why Adam and Molly will be the perfect choice for your new home," says the letter, which ends with a photo of the smiling couple.
The letter helped. The Sarasins beat out at least two other offers for the Poway home. It also helped that they could make a 20 percent down payment, Hale said.

Triad -- It looks like our threat of freezing rain is just about over. The National Weather Service has cancelled the freezing rain advisory which was originally supposed to go until 9 AM.
There were a few things working in our favor to avoid major ice problems. First of all, temperatures didn't fall much Sunday night. Most places only saw a 1-3 degree drop overnight, leaving the majority of the area above freezing. Also, rainfall totals were low. Most places got less than .05" of rain.
As we go through the day, temperatures will eventually reach the mid 40s. There is still a chance of a few showers or drizzle through the day but it isn't likely to be anything heavy.
If you are ready for a warm up, just wait one day. As a surge of warm air pulls in, highs will head for the 60s Tuesday and Wednesday. There is another rain chance on Wednesday. It will be warm but also breezy and wet. We clear out and cool down again by Thursday.

ASA DDM85X-SL - Keeps getting better
Posted 18 September 2012 - 03:18 PM
It was a big leap for me, not so much due to the cost, but mostly due to the learning curve. Not only was there a huge learning curve for the mount, but I started from scratch knowing little to nothing about astronomy, astrophotography, mounts, collimation, cameras, filter wheels and most of all, image processing.
I kid you not; there were no gradients in my knowledge, just pure green (me)!
Enough of that, let's talk about the mount.
First, I encourage you to read my review of the ASA DDM85XL-S Direct Drive GEM
It's not the best writing in the world, but I think it gets the point across...this is an excellent mount for astrophotography!
So I find myself, a year and a half later, becoming quite knowledgeable on this mount...and it keeps getting better.
I recently upgraded my Autoslew software that controls the mount with version 220.127.116.11 and the plate solving software to Sequence version 9 by Dipl. Phys. Dr. Philipp Keller.
Dr. Keller has made major improvements to the software, specifically in the Advanced Pointing model of Autoslew and the Multipoint Local Precision Tracking portion of Sequence.
What seemed like required an advanced degree in astrophysics to operate and understand can now be down quite easily by a greenhorn like me. All of the advanced pointing and modeling functions are now completely automated.
I am now consistently able to achieve polar alignments equal to or less than 6 arcseconds in both axis in about a half hour after setting up the mount and then create a substantial pointing model within another 30-45 minutes. Once completed, I can select an object, create a MLPT model in 2-12 minutes depending upon the length of my exposures and the number of iterations I select and then I can achieve 20-30 minute subs with no periodic error, no backlash and most importantly, no guiding.
The pointing accuracy is very good but it is the tracking capabilities that are absolutely amazing.
When I am done imaging for the night, I simply park the scope, cover it and it's ready for the next evening of imaging.
If I need to shut off the power or remove the laptop for any reason, that's cool too. I make sure I point the scope at a star in the eastern horizon, synch to that star and then Autoslew calculates the angular offset between the synched star and the encoders home position. It then uses your coordinates, date and time and that angular offset to determine exactly where to point after you power up and perform a HomeFind. In other words, it never forgets where it is positioned once a 30 second home find is performed on power up.
Here are some images of the mount and some taken using the mount. They are a combination of 10 and 20 minutes subs with no periodic error, no backlash and most importantly, no guiding.
Posted 18 September 2012 - 04:12 PM
- Payload capacity, DDM60 too little, DDM85 too heavy
- Subpaar machining. Those mounts don't look they are worth the money.
- Difficult to operate mechanically. The azimuth adjustment range is too small. The lack of easy axes locking mechanism makes OTA mounting a royal pain in the …
- Frequent problems with PID parameters. Many users reported tracking errors after 10 minutes or so of continues tracking (no manual axis movement). ASA has no fix yet.
- Price is way too high
- Poor customer support.
- Shipping the DDM85 to ASA for repairs is very expensive.
Posted 18 September 2012 - 04:34 PM
Posted 18 September 2012 - 04:45 PM
I have written off the ASA DDM mounts for a couple of reasons:
- Payload capacity, DDM60 too little, DDM85 too heavy
ASA DDM60 - 55lbs
ASA DDM85 Basic - 100lbs
ASA DDM85 Standard - 143lbs
ASA DDM85 Premium - 220lbs
- Subpaar machining. Those mounts don't look they are worth the money.
Subpar? Based upon looks? These mounts are CNC machined and high quality.
- Difficult to operate mechanically. The azimuth adjustment range is too small.
Not sure how much you think you need, but after pointing the mount near polaris, lighting polaris up with the laser, there really isn't much adjustment needed. I think what they offer is overkill. I simply hold up my pinky finger at arms length against polaris on the Kochab side and spot the laser to the other side of my pinky. I find myself polar aligned within 5 to 8 arc minutes every time, then run a sequence plate solving 10-15 stars and my polar alignment is typically less than an arc minute and often within 6 arc seconds if I am really maticulous about centering stars in the crosshairs of the CCD image.
The lack of easy axes locking mechanism makes OTA mounting a royal pain in the …
Using a metric #8 hex tool to tighten a locking bolt is a pain? Seriously? I have no trouble mounting my Astrotech 12" RC all by myself. I find it much easier then setting up a Celestron CPC1100 for mount, especially on a wedge!
- Frequent problems with PID parameters.
This issue is fixed in Autoslew 126.96.36.199. There are now presets depending on the size and weight of your system. Only minor adjustments are needed from the preset. Once you set the values and balance the scope using the wicked cool software balancing system, you save your scope to a profile and forget it. I change scopes and with a click all my settings are spot on.
Many users reported tracking errors after 10 minutes or so of continues tracking (no manual axis movement). ASA has no fix yet.
I am not sure what you mean by "no manual axis movement" but if people are having tracking issues after 10 minutes, then they aren't setting up properly. If you do a good polar alignment (30 minutes) and make a good pointing model (30-45 minutes) then use MLPT for tracking, you can't miss. 20 minute unguided subs are easily attainable even for a beginner like me. The images in my post speak for themselves. For those that need to autoguide, you can do that too, but really, it is unecessary unless you want subs greater than 40 minutes.
- Price is way too high
Too high is relative. By the time you buy any other mount, add all your guiding accessories, you'll spend as much as a DDM60. My images speak for themselves. It's worth every penny!
- Poor customer support.
My experience is different. There is a time zone difference and a language barrier, but when I had an issue with an early model DDM60, I traded up and ASA brought my DDM85 NEAF, used it as a demo and gave me a great discount!
- Shipping the DDM85 to ASA for repairs is very expensive.
You got me here!
If you have never owned one, how can you comment on service and support, machining, etc, etc?
Posted 18 September 2012 - 05:46 PM
Posted 18 September 2012 - 06:01 PM
We all have opinions....
True, but which opinions have value? Opinions based on actual use and fact or opinions based on heresay and conjecture?
I don't mind anyone giving an opinion even if it is negative, but when that opinion is given as a deliberate attempt to completely discredit a product when it is obvious the person giving the opinion has no direct experience with that product, that opinion has little value.
I wanted to be sure to make that clear my rebuttle above.
If you look at the images it's quite obvious the product does exactly what it is designed to do and does so even while in the hands of an inexperienced operator...like me.
Posted 18 September 2012 - 06:24 PM
Cool and congrats!
Posted 19 September 2012 - 12:06 PM
Posted 19 September 2012 - 01:34 PM
So probably my next mount, thanks for review!
Posted 19 September 2012 - 03:53 PM
I suppose all things are relative. Where I am the DDM85 compares favourably with the paramount ME in terms of payload and price.
- Price is way too high
Posted 08 October 2012 - 02:11 PM
It was a big leap for me, not so much due to the cost, but mostly due to the learning curve. Not only was there a huge learning curve for the mount, but I started from scratch knowing little to nothing about astronomy, astrophotography, mounts, collimation, cameras, filter wheels and most of all, image processing.

So I find myself, a year and a half later, becoming quite knowledgeable on this mount...and it keeps getting better.
I expect that your IQ is very high .. I'm very pleased with your participation and your comments! and really motivated me to rather more effort to get to a better level than I am now.
GoodLuck and I wish for you all the Best.

How long have you been able to image unguided and how well is flexure modeled ? Do you find it worth the time and effort of modeling rather than autoguiding? Do you see any flexure in 30min images?
Posted 09 October 2012 - 11:52 AM
I am confident I can do 30 minute unguided subs and I may very well try it next week during the new moon cycle. I just need to find an object like my LBN438 image where I need deep exposures.
I am using a complete ASA system and I don't have much flexure. All of the components are either screwed together or attached using 6 screws. Everything is very well machined and fits tightly.
Sequence 9 and Autoslew will measure the flexure and collimation error of the system. I have never seen these numbers very high. The neat part is unlike hysteresis; flexure and collimation error can both be measured and thus corrected by software. That's exactly what the ASA software does!
With regards to the time spent modeling the system versus guiding, I definitely find it worth the time. In fact, this wouldn't even be a question if I were in a permanent observatory because I would do it once and forget it. Unfortunately, I have to setup every new moon cycle but I leave the system setup for up to 10 days at a time.
It takes me just a few hours the first night to setup, dial in my polar alignment, model the system with a large pointing file and then I only have to run an MLPT model for each object I image. The MLPT model takes less than 15 minutes for about 30-40 images.
So the answer to your question is, yes I think it is worth the time. I never have to worry about finding a guide star, thin clouds blocking my guide star of any of the guiding issues. They simply do not exist for me. There is, however, a bit of a steep learning curve to figure all this stuff out, but with more people using the ASA mounts, there are a lot more helpers out there to get the next guy started.
Personally, I think someone spending two nights with me could learn this system quite well. There are a lot of steps each with many details that must be remembered, but none of it is so complicated that the average guy cannot understand it, figure it out and repeat it.
Here is an image of LBN438 that was made with 20 minute unguided LRGB subs binned 1x1

I happened to have the pleasure of spending some time with Dave and his ASA system last night. I have a Paramount ME (which I am very satisfied with), but Dave's ASA is simply amazing and accurate. The mount is incredibly fast and whisper quiet when performing slews, expecially when compared to the ME. LOL, the focuser was louder than the mount. I'd say you need to be alert and keep your wits about you when slewing, lest you get "whacked in the head", if you're not paying attention.
Posted 10 October 2012 - 09:25 AM
Best, Joe
Posted 17 October 2012 - 05:01 PM
It seems that you set up on a tripod on each session. How long does it take you to get the mount aligned and running?
Posted 19 October 2012 - 03:08 AM
Posted 23 October 2012 - 03:13 AM
I'm going to use it with an GSO 10" RC, with a FL of 2000mm@f/8. I hope to get 30 min. unguided subs with this setup.
Posted 23 October 2012 - 01:03 PM
Posted 26 October 2012 - 05:18 AM
Knowing my experience with the DDM series mounts, I would not start out with a FL length greater than 1000mm. JJ, I think you may set yourself up for some frustration expecting to achieve 30 minute unguided subs at 2000mm FL right away. It's possible, but you'll need to really know the system well first.
I highly reccommend that you start with a simple telescope under 1000mm FL and first work on obtaining a very good polar alignment and achieving 5 minute unguided subs. As you get to know the software, particularly Sequence 9, plate solving and it's interaction with Autoslew, you can then venture into 10m subs and longer, Sometimes I still struggle with 20m unguided subs at 950mm FL f/3.6, yet I have on several occasions been able to shoot 20m unguided subs as 2432mm FL F/8 using my AT12RC.
At the longer focal lengths every error in your system is amplified greatly.
There are many things that come into play that can ruin an unguided sub, particulaly at higher FL. For example, I believe I have some flexure issues with my AT12RC which currently utilizes a FeatherTouch focuser. While I like the FeatherTouch focusers and MicroTouch controller system, I do not like the way it attaches to the AT12RC telescope and I believe it is likely the cause of both flexure and tilt in my current system.
I am replacing the FeatherTouch with an FLI Atlas focuser and a precision adapter for both my FLI ML8300, a future PL16803 and a TAK collimator.
It is critical to obtain precise collimation and it really isn't possible with my current focuser and even if I did obtian critical collimation there is no way to ensure the collimator and the camera chipset will both be aligned with the same optical axis.
Once I replace the focuser with the precision couplers for both the camera and the collimater, I am pretty sure this issue will be resolved and I'll be able to shoot 20-30m subs at 2432 with repeatable results.
So basically, I am telling you the mount is perfectly capable of the results you seek, but that doesn't necesssarily mean you will get those results everytime you setup your mount, but if you keep the FL shorter while you are learning how to deal with all of the issues you are sure to encounter, you'll keep your sanity.
Morten, it takes me about two hours to setup all my gear prior to sunset, then another two hours to get everything polar aligned to within 6-12 arc seconds. If I were only shooting subs at 5m, I could have everything polar aligned and a pointing model built in about 30 minutes, but since I leave my system setup for an entire new moon session, I tend to count the first night as a setup and test night and I am willing to spend most of the night tweaking the entire system for perfection.
If I had a permanent setup, I would dedicated several days to this process to get it perfect and then be done with it.
Of course you have to take into a account that I have done this process over and over again for almost two years now, so I am very good at setting up the system in a portable environment.
It takes time to learn the system, then more time to practice the process of setting it up and aligning everything in a repeatable without making a lot of mistakes.
Personally, I like the challenge. This whole astrophotography hobby is a very technically challenging endeavor and that is what keeps me interested.
JJ, congrats on your new mount. I just wrote some procedures for getting started with tuning the motors and balancing. You can find the information on the Yahoo group. Read it carefully and it will save you some time when you first setup your DDM60Pro. Getting the servo motors properly tuned and balancing the system using the provided tools is also critical to achieving long unguided exposres.
JJ, I notice you have a QSI683wsg camera. Since this camera has a pick off prism mounted in front of the filters, I highly recommend that you purchase a Lodestar camera to use for autoguiding at long FL. While the mount is perfectly capable of unguided exposres, having an OAG and autoguiding at FL's greater than 1500mm will ensure perfect results, especially for subs >=20m, such as may be necessary for Ha, SII, NII and OIII narrowband imaging.
I intend to purchase an OAG for use with my AT12RC for 30-40m subs. Although I have not yet tried autoguiding with the DDM series mounts, I have read about it and it seems to be straight forward and relatively simple to do.
Enjoy your new mount and let me know if you have any issues with which you need help.
Posted 26 October 2012 - 05:52 AM
I already read your procedures on the Yahoo group
Posted 26 October 2012 - 01:02 PM
I visited your web site. Not only are your images remarkable, but also quite informative about each of the objects displayed.
I hope you enjoy the new mount.
Posted 26 October 2012 - 02:10 PM
Posted 26 October 2012 - 04:55 PM
Why would I shoot unguided if I can guide (disregarding you don't have to worry about guiding star or seeing)?

Frequent contributor Milan Vego tries to get us into the mind of the PLAN. Most readers are surely aware of the dangers of mirror-imaging possible adversaries. Two nations may approach the same problem in very different ways. Professor Vego, in studying Chinese naval doctrine, explains that Chinese military theorists, strongly influenced by Karl Marx, Vladimir Lenin, and Mao Zedong, see operational art mostly as a science and try to identify rules in situations where Western thinkers allow for more creativity. He points out that Chinese theory is systematically developed and serves as the basis for both naval strategy and operational art.
China made news when its first aircraft carrier finally went to sea for trials in 2011. Amid the considerable speculation about the vessel, retired Navy Captain Carl Otis Schuster reminds us that while the PLAN still has a long way to go to match U.S. carrier capability, what is significant about the ship is not so much what she'll do, but what she'll teach the Chinese—and how she'll shape their fleet structure for a decade or more.
While the as-yet-unnamed carrier gets most of the public attention, Andrew Erickson and Amy Chang examine another important, though perhaps often overlooked, capability. China's impressive space program, which now aims at a permanent space station, relies on support ships more than does any other nation. Its fleet of Yuanwang (Long View) vessels track spacecraft and coordinate with ground-control stations. But potential military applications include providing information to the country's command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance infrastructure.
The usual narrative concerning China's military forces is that they are trying to learn from us, especially in their quest to obtain aircraft carriers and be a true power-projecting maritime nation. But is it possible the U.S. Navy could learn something from the PLAN? Maybe, says Navy Commander Thomas Henderschedt. The new-millennium U.S. Navy has embraced the crucial role of the informational sphere in the modern battlescape, with the recently formed Information Dominance Corps leading the way. But, the author explains, there are lessons to be learned from the "informationization" doctrine that has proven a guiding force in the modernizing of Chinese military capabilities.
For the next decade, and likely two, China's military and naval advances are sure to be closely watched by the United States and its Pacific allies. There is opportunity for cooperation in the region but always the risk of conflict. Which shall be the dominant storyline remains to be seen.

Associated Press
ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) - The international bank accused of engaging in a $250 billion money laundering scheme with Iran says it is now reviewing its compliance with U.S. sanctions and cooperating with federal agencies.
London-based Standard Chartered Bank says it's also discussing its review with federal regulators.
The bank says it can't estimate when the review will conclude.
New York Financial Services Superintendent Benjamin Lawsky signed an order Monday that requires the bank to answer Lawsky's questions following his investigation.
The order claims that for nearly seven years the bank worked with Iranian-government owned banks and other Iranian entities to hide 60,000 transactions worth $250 billion.

The $600 C4 Transmission SwapWritten by on May 9, 2012
America might rank near the bottom of the barrel among industrialized countries when it comes to standardized math scores, but by golly, we know bogus arithmetic when we see it. According to many Pro Touring guys, real street machines need a minimum of six forward gears for performance and streetability purposes. While we appreciate cars that can accelerate, turn, and brake like stink, do you really need a double-overdrive transmission to roll your car off a trailer and jockey it around a parking lot full of cones? Something just doesn't add up. Anyone who answered yes probably has the means to blow $2,000 to $3,000 on a prebundled manual trans conversion kit. There's nothing wrong with that, as these setups are pretty slick, and let's face it, someone has to stimulate the economy. However, for those on a more modest budget, that kind of money might be more than your entire car is worth. Fortunately, stepping outside the blister-pack norm and exercising a little bit of creativity can get you on your way to banging gears like a hoodlum for peanuts.
Using a pile of secondhand parts heisted from a Fox Mustang, we swapped the C4 transmission out of a '72 Maverick for a junkyard T5 transmission while keeping the tab under $600. Anyone with basic fabrication skills and the fortitude to perform some creative engineering can pull off a similar swap and save a ton of money in the process. The T5 transmission weighs 30 to 50 pounds less than a modern five- or six-speed and is also cheaper. Because the lowly T5 transmission boxes have served as the whipping boys for everything from Fox Mustangs to third-gen Camaros to light-duty trucks for decades, a junkyard T5 transmission can be had for as little as $200. Compare that with a used T56 that will set you back at least $1,500. Furthermore, in a car with a mild 302 small-block that weighs just 2,700 pounds, such as a Maverick, the extra torque capacity of the fancier stuff just isn't necessary.
As much as we'd like to take credit for this c4 transmission to t5 transmission swap, we happened to be in the right place at the right time. While hanging out at Bill Buck Race Cars (BBRC; BillBuckRaceCars.com), the crew got to work on a low-buck Maverick. While Buck's claim to fame is tuning the chassis on NMRA Outlaw 10.5 Champion Mike Murillo's 3,000hp '93 Mustang, he keeps his skills sharp wrenching on more pedestrian projects. As always, plenty of unexpected challenges came up—ranging from potential flywheel imbalance to trans tunnel clearance issues—but we'll show you how to iron them all out.
Class Warfare
First introduced in 1980, the T5 Transmission boasts the longest production run of any five-speed overdrive manual transmission in history. As such, the T5 has been built in a variety of configurations and gear ratios. All T5s fall into one of two categories: World Class (WC) and Non World Class (NWC). The primary difference between them is that World Class T5s were designed to be exported worldwide and consequently feature improved synchronizers and bearings over NWC transmissions. From the outside, WC and NWC are nearly indistinguishable. WC T5s have a tapered bearing race beneath the input shaft while NWC units have a nontapered race. Ford began installing NWC T5s in the '83 to '84 Mustang. The V8 models got a 2.95:1 First gear ratio and an 0.63:1 Overdrive, and we're told they can take up to 300 hp on street tires.
In 1985, Ford switched to WC T5s all across the Fox platform, and several internal improvements were made. To reduce drag, gears One to Three were mounted on needle bearings, which replaced thrust washers on the countershaft. Likewise, new fiber-lined steel synchronizers improved durability and allowed for easier shifting at high rpm. Since most 5.0L Mustangs were equipped with relatively tall 2.73:1 or 3.08:1 ring-and-pinion sets, First gear in these units checked out at a deep 3.35:1. For the '90 to '93 models, Ford beefed up the First gearset with a higher nickel alloy and added carbon-fiber linings on the No. 3 to No. 4 synchronizers. These changes bumped torque capacity from 265 to 300 lb-ft.
As the Fox platform morphed into the SN-95 Mustang in 1994, Ford continued using the T5. The trans was nearly identical to earlier T5s but had a 5⁄8-inch-longer input shaft. Since four-cylinder Mustangs were no more, both V6 and V8 Mustangs now used similar T5s. The V8 model had '90- to '93-spec gears, while the V6 T5 had the '85 to '89 gearset. With the introduction of the mod-motor V8 in 1996, the T5 was no longer used in V8 applications, although it did continue to serve behind V6s until 2010. The next major change for the Ford-spec T5 came in 2005, when the shifter was relocated from the tailshaft housing to the body.
The oddballs of the T5 family are low-capacity boxes usually found in four-cylinder cars. They came with a very deep 3.97:1 First gear, and with torque capacities ranging from 175 to 230 lb-ft, they aren't suitable for service behind even a weak small-block. If you find one, you might be able to convert it to V8 specs with a gear change, as they usually aren't beat up.

Low buck, low mass, and low maintenance, this '72 Maverick is our kind of car. Although the owner would like to build a mean motor for it someday, right now he's content with the 302. It's not a car that will win you much money at the races, but dropping the lame C4 for a WC T5 makes it a heck of a lot more fun to beat on.Scouring the local Internet ads, BBRC scored a complete T5, bellhousing, clutch fork, and cable out of a '90 Mustang for $300. The seller even threw in the shifter and clutch.The original plan called for adapting the entire brake and clutch-pedal assembly out of a Fox Mustang (right) into the Maverick, but Buck quickly realized it would be more trouble than it was worth due to their vastly different firewall mounting locations. Instead, he decided to integrate the Fox clutch pedal onto the stock Maverick pedal box (left).The Fox Mustang clutch-pedal shaft was positioned above the brake-pedal shaft. To mimic this arrangement on the stock Maverick brake-pedal assembly, Buck ran a piece of 7/8-inch-diameter DOM tubing from the Mustang clutch-pedal shaft to the Maverick brake-pedal bracket. Next, he cut two notches into the Maverick bracket using a die grinder.As luck would have it, our Fox pedal assembly came with an aftermarket aluminum clutch quadrant, which usually costs $30. That's the arm to the right of the brake pedal, which connects to the clutch cable. Factory Fox pieces are made from plastic and tend to wear out. The quadrant has a threaded shaft that slides perfectly into the 7/8-inch DOM tubing and locks down with a castle nut and cotter pin.With the mock-up work complete, the new clutch-pedal pivot shaft was welded to the Maverick pedal bracket. DOM steel tubing comes in many forms, but Buck prefers tubing with 0.120-inch-thick walls in this application to prevent distortion while welding.Buck cut down the stock brake pedal to mimic the shape of the Fox clutch pedal to prevent interference between the two. This trick allows for swapping the rubber pedal cover from the stock Fox brake pedal for the Maverick assembly.Granted it took a couple of hours to figure out, but taking the time to make precise measurements and cuts meant the pedals looked perfect after bolting them back up to the firewall. As everyone knows, having a third pedal does wonders for your ego.To prevent binding, the clutch cable was run in as straight a line as possible from the clutch pedal quadrant to the firewall. Instead of running the cable through a rubber bushing on the firewall, Buck drilled a 11/4-inch hole and slid an aftermarket Steeda adjuster into place. This allows adjusting the cable by simply turning a knob, eliminating the need to crawl underneath the car.
Plans to swap out the stock flexplate for the Fox Mustang flywheel were quickly foiled. The Maverick's 302 is externally balanced with a 28-ounce counterweight, while the Fox Mustang's flywheel uses a 50-ounce counterweight. The easiest solution was to purchase an aftermarket small-block Ford flywheel that has the same 157-tooth count but is set up for a 10.5-inch Mustang clutch and a 50-ounce counterweight. Though we don't know the brand of the flywheel, it's a well-used unit the local speed shop (yes they still exist!) sold us for $52. The original Maverick dust shield blocked the routing of the clutch cable, so it was cut accordingly.Now for the fun part. To position the shifter handle within the tunnel, Buck measured the distance from the bellhousing face to the shifter handle. At roughly 27 inches back from the engine block, he marked a hole. A variety of tools will get the job done, but Buck started with a hole saw, then slowly enlarged the hole with a reciprocating saw. (If there is no carpet, use a plasma cutter.)After cutting the shifter hole, Buck mocked up the trans in the car to ensure adequate trans clearance. At this point, it became obvious that the stock Maverick crossmember pushed the trans too high up into the tunnel.To address the tunnel clearance issues, Buck fabricated a custom crossmember to lower the trans mount closer to the ground. Likewise, since the T5 is about 1 inch longer than a C4, the mount was moved rearward. The ends of the crossmember started out as a piece of 2.5-inch square steel tubing that was then split in half. After some experimentation, it turned out that 1/8-inch-thick tubing slid over the factory crossmember mounting location perfectly. Buck then fabbed the middle section of the crossmember from 2x2-inch tubing and connected them to the ends of the crossmember with 1x2-inch steel. Interestingly, the factory C4 rubber mount bolts right up to the T5 tailshaft housing.Another pleasant surprise was learning that the factory Maverick speedometer cable bolts up to the T5. Since no one knew the ratio of the rearend gears in the Maverick, Buck left the speedometer gear unchanged.With the end clearly in sight, the clutch cable was connected to the clutch fork. It must be routed carefully to avoid the exhaust manifold and headers.Based on our measurements, from the bellhousing flange to the back of the output shaft, the T5 is about 1 inch longer than the C4. That's great news because you can have the stock Maverick driveshaft shortened instead of buying a new one.Once the shifter handle was back inside the car, Buck bolted it to the trans. Thanks to taking it easy with the cutting equipment, the shifter hole was just large enough to allow for full shifter travel.Near-stock 302s aren't exactly known for tire-melting torque, which make them a perfect match for the T5's 3.35:1 First gear ratio. Plus, it makes the car a heck of a lot more fun to drive, especially with the 0.68:1 overdrive. That's not too shabby at all for $578.25. Now let's dump the clutch from five-grand*, shall we? (*Not if you want the trans to make it to the end of the driveway!)

Earlier this year, Cash Money Records superstar Lil Wayne angered the family of slain Civil Rights figure Emmett Till on his lyrics to Future's "Karate Chop Remix." While Wayne subsequently apologized for his "beat the pussy up like Emmett Till" lyric making light of the 1955 murder of the teenager, he may now be upsetting American patriots.
Video footage, courtesy of TMZ.com, surfaced of Wayne recently filming the video to "God Bless Amerika." The Cool & Dre-produced song, which appears on this year's I Am Not A Human Being II, contains lyrics "the stars on the flag are never shinin'." Wayne further stressed his opinion at the shoot to the song's music video. A witness captured a take where Wayne appears to intentionally dance on a fallen American flag. He tramples on the patriotic symbol for over one minute:
In the United States Flag Code, it is stated that the flag should never touch the ground, as well as "the flag should never be stepped on." While the code is federal law, there is no legal penalty for failure to comply.
(June 17)
UPDATE: Following yesterday's story and video footage of Lil Wayne apparently walking on the American Flag, the rapper asserts it was all an accident.
I didn't step on the flag on purpose! It's a scene in a video where the flag drops behind me and after it drop it's just there as I perform
— Lil Wayne WEEZY F (@LilTunechi) June 18, 2013
Wayne tweeted that he "didn't step on the flag on purpose!" Instead, the Cash Money Records superstar alleges that in the scene, the flag drops behind me, and "it's just there as I perform."
After the tweet, Wayne also further clarified using his Facebook page:
Wayne wrote, "It was never my intention to desecrate the flag of the United States of America. I was shooting a video for a song off my album entitled 'God Bless Amerika.' The clip that surfaced on the Internet was a camera trick clip that revealed behind the American Flag was the Hoods of America. In the final edit of the video you will see the flag fall to reveal whats behind it but will never see it on the ground. In most people eyes including my own who were raised in that environment, the Hood is the only America they know and the only America I knew growing up. I was fortunate from my God giving talents to escape the Hood and see the other beautiful places this country has to offer but most people who are born in that environment don't get that chance. That's their view of their America. That was Dwayne M Carter from Hollygrove New Orleans view of America. That's who I'm speaking for in this song."
The full, edited version of "God Bless Amerika" has yet to be released.

But Wiltshire councillors vote to defend refusal of 350 homes at Coate bridge (From This Is Wiltshire)
But Wiltshire councillors vote to defend refusal of 350 homes at Coate bridge
Updated 3:20pm Wednesday 12th February 2014 in By Jill Crooks, Devizes area senior reporter
A controversial housing development of 230 houses off the London Road corridor of Devizes was approved by Wiltshire Council planners today.
The council's strategic planning committee has been recommended to approve The Crown Estate's planning application for 230 homes on agricultural land next to Lay Wood in Bishops Cannings by its officers.
In a report on the application to the committee, planning officer Jemma Boustead says the policies of the National Planning Policy Framework apply as the draft Devizes Neighbourhood Plan as it is currently out to public consultation.
She said: "These apply a presumption in favour of sustainable development and state that planning permission should be granted unless any adverse impacts of doing so would demonstrably outweigh the benefits.
"In this case, it is considered that there are no such significant and demonstrable adverse impacts that would outweigh presumption on favour of development."
Devizes town, Roundway and Bishops Cannings parish councils all objected.
They argued that Devizes experiences significant traffic congestion and air pollution as a result of significant numbers of houses having been built in the town, particularly on the London Road corridor.
Coun Toby Sturgis, Wiltshire cabinet member for spatial planning, said: "I feel very upset about this. I feel it's totally against local democracy."
He said he has been lobbying MPs and Nick Boles, the Planning Minister, about the situation.
The committee was also told today that Wiltshire Council can no longer justify the reasons it refused permission for 350 homes on greenfield land next to Coate bridge, off Windsor Drive, for Mactaggart and Mickel and officers recommended not defending the decision at a public inquiry scheduled for April.
But planners went against the advice, that they could not block the plans as the inspector overseeing Wiltshire Council's core strategy for development had stated that more homes need to be build in Wiltshire in the next 12 years.
They unanimously voted to defend their decision at the forthcoming inquiry.

"the settlement boundaries in the Kennet Local Plan, which has been used to refuse the Mactaggart and Mickel application last September, are out of date".
Do these two assertions suggest that Wiltshire Council has been negligent in not completing its Neighbourhood Plan in time, and not keeping its settlement boundaries up to date? If so, we are being let down yet again by an incompetent authority - we should be able to rely on them to protect us from the problems which over-development cause.

This is all down to the new legislation passed by the current government which allows almost anyone to build anywhere. This is a desperate attempt to get the economy moving regardless of any impact on local air pollution and with no consideration on whether the infrastructure like roads, schools and hospitals etc can cope with the extra housing. General election is next year. You know what to do.

ACT Clutch Kit with ACT Heavy Duty Pressure Plate and ACT Performance Organic Street Disc
ACT Heavy Duty Pressure Plates provide increased torque capacity, durability, and extended clutch life. What makes ACT Pressure Plates the highest standard in the industry? First, ACT manufacturing always begins with new units. ACT Pressure Plates are not rebuilt from worn out parts. Second, pressure is increased the right way. Altering the geometry alone is not enough.
Instead, ACT engineers a stronger diaphragm. ACT diaphragms are heat-treated using an exclusive 3-stage process and the release bearing contact area is hardened to reduce wear. Third, ACT designs the pressure and release travel of the unit to be in the optimum working range. Finally, ACT assures consistency and precision by using proven assembly procedures.
Every unit ACT produces is accurately balanced and tested. Most ACT pressure plates are also available in ductile iron, offering strength and safety for high RPM racing. ACT Street Discs are designed for smooth engagement, quiet operation and improved durability using only the best organic, spring center designs.
When a special ACT Performance Organic Street Disc is available, the suffix "SS" will appear. These discs use special steel backed performance linings designed to withstand high heat and abuse. Most of these "SS" discs are also modified for quicker shifting.
What is all the hype about different lining materials available? ACT still contends that nothing can beat a good quality organic disc for street use. Virtually all the premium sport car manufacturers use organic discs. Actual product may vary slightly from image.

I was wondering if any you folks who were able to watch him play could tell me what he was like as a player. I know him but that is not because of basketball but through his work at a st louis community center.
I watched him play in the early 70's I believe. The teams weren't too good so all we really had to cheer about was Hercle and the numbers he could put up. He could drain shots from 25 plus feet and is another player that would have had unbelievable numbers had there been a 3 point line.

so he is like todays Craig Brackins
Lol. Pretty true, except Brackins is about 6 inches taller as I think Hercle was in the 6-4 range. Both of them could put on a show. Glad to hear Hercle is doing good work in the St. Louis area.
This name brings back memories of my college days as an older student.
Hercle "poison" ivey was ISU's main scoring machine, in the70's. There was never a shot that he wouldn't take, even when he shouldn't have taken them. He was a three point shooter before there was a line for three pointers.
Mant a game he would save the win on his shooting.
I never heard anything bad about him as a student, and never saw him on campus.
The following is a taken from Cyclone .com on Feb.15, 2008 when he was back, as a member of the all century team.
Hercle Ivy, a member of ISU's All-Century team who will be honored at halftime tomorrow, was in town touching base with his former teammates. Ivy was a first-team all-Big Eight selection in 1975 and still holds ISU's single-season scoring record, averaging 28.3 points per game in the 1974-75 season.
"It is honor to be a part of the All-Century team," Ivy said. "I enjoyed my time here at Iowa State and I appreciate what people thought I did for the school. I prided myself on being able to shoot the jumpshot and I thought I could shoot it from any part of the floor. The further people came out and guarded me, the further I went back."
Ivy had an off-balanced fade away jump shot from long distance that was fun to watch. He broke the ISU records at that time for scoring points per game, points per season, and points in a career by the end of his senior year. He really was something special. In case you don't know, his nickname was "Poison" Ivy.

This guy was as pure a shooter as I have ever seen. He was recruited by Maury John. Then, John contracted cancer and stepped down. His successor was Ken Trickey and he was not a good fit for a whole lot of reasons. His last team went 3-24. However, he did have some really good players -- Ivey among them. Others, Andrew Parker and Art Johnson. I see Ivey came back to a reunion last year and he looked great and is doing well. One helluva basketball player.
Hercle was a special player ('71-75), and (did a little research) I think it said he had the best single season scoring ave. in '75 at +28 ppg. 8th all-time Cyclone scorer over 4 years.
As I remember, he had a VERY flat-arc of a shot, shot started from behind his head (?). But they usually went in from LONG range. Wonder what he would have averaged if they had the 3 pt. line back then?
He was also drafted into the NBA (4th round)(Houston or San Antonio), but I don't know if he ever played, played long (I don't think so), or what really happend w/ him after ISU.
First of all, Hilton in those days (1975) was a morgue - I mean literally there would be 5,000 people show up; only the lower section would be (partially) filled; and Iowa wouldn't play us.
Herc "Poision" Ivy as previously mentioned was kool and fun to watch. His stroke was great and one of the best scorers ever (Willoughby would be one reminder). There was no defense in those days and the scores were pretty high as well as the player scoring average. Ivy had a huge Afro in those days knee-high Tube Socks. Red Converse shoes is also what I remember.
"We are first and foremost an educational institution that values integrity, honesty and treating others with fairness and respect".
-ISU President Gregory Geoffroy; circa May 2003.
I'm glad H I is doing good things now... he was a great shooter... played no defense and was kind of a ball hog... other than that he was ok...
Hercle is my second all time favorite basketball player behind Zaid Abdul-Aziz. I suppose the stars when you are young always remain your favorites, at least for me anyway.
I remember the previously mentioned Art Johnson from that team because he was from Indianapolis where my mothers family was and I think he was a juco.
Hercle's afro was kind of different because it was taller on top and not as long on the sides. Kind of a Brackins haircut on steriods.
They used to practice in State Gym and it was pretty much open practice because I used to go in there and watch them quite often. The main double doors to the gym would be closed if they didn't want you in there but they were left open a lot. Anyway, when they were practicing plays you would hear Ken Trickey holler "Get the ball to Hercle!!" about every 10 seconds. So, I guess our main objective was to get the ball to Hercle!
I have to say this about Hercle. I always loved the guy but I had never spoken to him till I had the chance at the reunion last year. And this will sound silly but, even though I'm in my mid 50's, I felt like a ten year old when I got to meet him.
TCU at ISU Mens BBall 2016
Iowa State Football Photos from the past
Think shorter, thicker, but just as deadly Barry Stevens.
Walked on my freshman year at Iowa State...Ivy was a player who would help todays team. Nice shot, very smooth on the court. Just not much to go along. Our big guys were slow, and did not have much quickness in general on the team. With Maury John in his decline and not able to do the job, Ken Tricky unable to recuit, the program was a mess.
i have seen him play a little and thing that got me was he could walk onto a court pickup the ball and just shoot from anywhere and drain it. By the way Mr. Ivey is a great guy he taught me a lot about life its cool to get the perspective of people who saw him when he was younger. Good luck with your season i really hope your program can get back to where it used to be as long as you finish one spot behind my tigers.
Lived on the dorm floor above Hercle. The smell of reefer was pretty common in the room above his. It was the 70's and it was pretty much true of almost all of the team (remember, they were 3-24) and most of the students. He was a pretty laid back guy, kind of quiet, didn't cause any trouble. Picked him up one day when his car broke down and he was very nice. His jump shot was beautiful, second only to Barry Stevens. The game was much slower back then so a nice jump shot would take you a long ways. As long as we're discussing the 3-24 season, a couple of the players were on our floor and were drinking beer with us on Friday afternoon after class at the Maintenance Shop and had a 7PM game that night. Ol' Ken Trickey rode herd on them pretty tough. I doubt if he had that problem at Oral Roberts.

Golden Glory hasn't given up the fight for Alistair Overeem's money.
Knockout Investments, the MMA team's corporate parent, has obtained another court order to hold in escrow a portion of Overeem's pay for UFC 141.
This order asks $427,714.27 to be withheld by UFC parent company Zuffa LLC and deposited by check to a Nevada District Court. The amount is nearly double that of a previous order obtained the day of UFC 141, which was not executed when a surety bond was not deposited to the court.
MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) on Friday obtained a copy of the second order, which was executed on Jan. 24 and signed by a Nevada district judge. Roderick Lindblom, who represents Knockout Investments, declined to comment on the order but confirmed that a surety bond for $427,714.27 has been deposited and the order served to Zuffa LLC.
Overeem's representative, Colin Lam, could not be reached for comment.
The judgement applies to 30 percent of Overeem's purse, win bonus, pay-per-view proceeds, and "guaranteed payment for ancillary and intellectual property rights as set forth in the UFC Contracts and Zuffa's Promotional and Ancillary Rights Agreement of September 2011." It notes that the pay-per-view and ancillary and intellectual property payments are due within 30 days of UFC 141.
As with the first order, the judgement cites an affidavit from by Golden Glory head Bas Boon that states Overeem hasn't paid the team according to the terms of a contract signed in 2007 and that he's leaving Nevada before settling his bill.
Overeem defeated former champ Brock Lesnar by first-round TKO at the pay-per-view event, which took place Dec. 30 at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. His total disclosed pay for the fight totaled $385,714.28.
The heavyweight contender and his former team have been tangled in litigation for several months. This past November, Overeem sued Knockout Investments in Los Angeles Superior Court and claimed the team had breached its management agreement and tied him to a bad deal that required him to pay 35 percent of his pre-tax income. A month later, Knockout Investments countersued, alleging Overeem did not pay a 30 percent commission owed to Golden Glory following his win over Fabricio Werdum at "Strikeforce: Overeem vs. Werdum." Overeem claimed the team owed him $151,000 in back pay and asked a judge to determine whether his contract is enforceable.
Documents revealed in Golden Glory's suit confirm that Overeem is entitled to $2 of every pay-per-view "buy" UFC 141 draws in excess of 500,000 units in the U.S., Canada and online, according to a report on ESPN. Additionally, he is entitled to one-third of a 1-million-dollar signing bonus he received when he inked a contract with the promotion this past September.
Overeem is expected to meet Junior Dos Santos at UFC 146 on May 26 at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, UFC executive Lorenzo Fertitta recently announced.

Remember when two lady ballers put the tiny country of Belgium on the tennis map and ruled the WTA Tour? Ahhh yes.
Seven-time Grand Slammer Justine Henin and former US Open champ Kim Clijsters reunited at the Sports Gala, Belgium's most prestigious sporting award ceremony, on Sunday.
A dolled-up Justine sat on astroturf (uncomfortable much?) while being honored with a lifetime career achievement award and received two videotaped congratulatory messages from tennis legends Pete Sampras + Stefan Edberg. Here's some of what she had to say:
I have no regrets. I can't regret a life which gave me so much. I learned so many things about myself. It's important to have the wisdom to stop at a time when it's the moment to move on. I have only good memories.Kim attended the ceremony with husband Brian Lynch and was spotted with daughter Jada's name tattooed on her wrist. Boy, she's finally letting loose y'all!
I have so much curiosity, and I want to be able to express myself differently from now on. Even here today. I have personal time now. Time for me. To breath and relax isn't easy for myself having lived such an extremely intense lifestyle. I try for serenity with a rich balance, but without competative pro tennis and adrenalin.

California police have executed a search warrant at Justin Bieber's home in connection to an alleged neighborhood egging incident.
The "Baby" hitmaker's neighbor, who has reportedly clashed with the pop star in the past, called the Los Angeles County Sheriff's department last week after reportedly discovering Bieber hurling eggs at his front door.
Police took down a report and subsequently named the singer a suspect in their investigation.
The victim initially claimed the 19-year-old's alleged antics caused $400 in property damage, but estimates have now reached $20,000, according to TMZ.com.
On Tuesday, law enforcement officials arrived at the singer's home to execute a felony search warrant.
Sheriff's spokesman Steve Whitmore tells the New York Daily News, "I can confirm we have served a search warrant at Justin Bieber's residence as part of a felony vandalism investigation."
Bieber was reportedly detained in his garage as police searched the premises.
Whitmore continues, "He is there, and we are right now in the process of serving the warrant. We're looking for anything we might need to move this investigation forward."
It is not known what triggered the alleged incident between Bieber and his neighbor, but the Canada-born pop star has had several publicized run-ins with his neighbors.
Last year, Bieber was accused of speeding through the neighborhood in a Ferrari sports car and also spitting on his neighbor during a confrontation over parties at the singer's home. Prosecutors did not bring charges against Bieber in either case.

[Verse 1]
I'm walking through streets that are dead
Walking, walking with you in my head
My feet are so tired, my brain is so wired
And the clouds are weeping
[Verse 2]
Did I hear someone tell a lie?
Did I hear someone's distant cry?
I spoke like a child; you destroyed me with a smile
While I was sleeping
I'm sick of love but I'm in the thick of it
This kind of love I'm so sick of it
[Verse 3]
I see, I see lovers in the meadow
I see, I see silhouettes in the window
I watch them 'till they're gone and they leave me hanging on
To a shadow
I'm sick of love; I hear the clock tick
This kind of love; I'm lovesick
[Verse 4]
Sometimes the silence can be like the thunder
Sometimes I feel like I'm being plowed under
Could you ever be true? I think of you
And I wonder
I'm sick of love; I wish I'd never met you
I'm sick of love; I'm trying to forget you
Just don't know what to do
I'd give anything to be with you

My brother and I (both ID residents) have been applying for several years for the Trout Creek Mtns and Steens Mt controlled rifle mule deer hunts with no success. With 9 preference points currently, we appear to be at least 5+ years out for Trout Creek and another 1-2+ years for Steens. Note: see the attached link I found on the web regarding OR drawing odds, and many thanks to Ron Wold from Portland, OR for taking the time to crunch the numbers and making the info accessible: https://sites.google.com/site/oregontags/home
Anyways, we are now looking to put our points to use this year and are looking at applyinig for either the Owyhee, Snake River, Beaulah or Silvies rifle hunts. Looking over EHJ's MRS section for Oregon I noticed there is no mention whatsoever of the Silvies unit. Based on the number of tags/applicants, it appears to be a fairly sought after tag.
Would appreciate anyone's $.02 on the subject, or any suggestions as to what other units might be worth our time investigating. Also, is the Steens tag worth holding out for a couple more years compared to these other units?
