How To Balance An Engine - Engine-Balancing BasicsWritten by Jeff Smith on March 1, 2008 Custom Stroke Combinations And Lightweight Pistons Are Now Normal, But That Can Cause Problems If You're Not Dialed Into . . .
'The performance world is full of cool stroker engine combinations these days that fill more pages in crankshaft catalogs than ever before. We're talkin' about long-arm 460 Fords, wild Cleveland combos, oddball inline-six cylinders, and stroke bumps for the new generation of GM Gen III engines. All of this is in the service of the "mine is bigger than yours" approach to horsepower heroism. But all this stroker hype can also cause confusion.
Car crafters are famous for buying parts through nontraditional means such as swap meets, shop closeouts, and clandestine good-guy deals. While the price is usually right, this can also lead to hidden costs when it comes time to balance the rotating assembly. Balancing sounds simple, but as we found, there are many shops out there still drilling holes the traditional way when applying a few simple tricks may make life easier and less expensive. We ran across a typical weight issue when it came time to balance a small-block 331ci stroker Ford. The gruff old guy at the local balance shop said, "I'm not gonna balance this. I'd have to turn it into a piece of Swiss cheese. Take it someplace else. . . . " So we did and learned a little about balancing engines in the process.
A Question of Balance
Before digging into the custom stuff, we figured we'd better brush up on exactly how OE engines are balanced and look into the internal/external-balance issue. To start us on our journey, we decided to talk to Scat Crankshaft's Tom Lieb, who has a strong background in the area of balancing. Lieb is very opinionated about this issue because he has seen just about every imaginable variation on crankshaft failure. Most of these are not due to poor quality, as many think. Usually, the engine has either been abused with excessive rpm, balanced improperly, or often suffered some parts-abusing combination of the two.
Let's start with a short lesson on crankshaft design. Crankshaft counterweights are designed to offset (or balance, if you will) the inertia effect of a relatively heavy piston and connecting rod moving in both a rotational and reciprocating (up-and-down) fashion at speed. The weight of the piston-and-rod combination affects the size and placement of the counterweight. A longer stroke combined with a heavy piston, pin, and ring package requires a larger counterweight (more mass) to balance the greater reciprocating weight. Most V-8 engines use large counterweights toward the front and rear of the crankshaft, leaving the center portion without counterweights. That splits the engine into front and rear halves. The positions of the counterweights on all V-8 90-degree crankshafts are the same. The height of the counterweight as measured outward from the crankshaft centerline is limited by both the cylinder block and by the placement of the bottom of the cylinders. A counterweight placed farther away from the crank centerline has more balance effect, but it is limited by the width of the block crankcase. Weights placed toward both ends of the crank also have a greater effect and therefore don't need to be as large to effectively balance the engine. This makes the overall crank lighter.
Internal vs. External Balance
Packaging is also an important issue. During the design of the 400ci small-block, a major engineering hurdle was insufficient real estate inside the small-block crankcase for the larger counterweights demanded by the 400's supersized 4.125-inch piston. This was especially difficult in the rear of the engine because the rear crankcase area on a small-block Chevy is restricted by the placement of the oil filter. The solution called for external balance weights placed on the harmonic balancer and flywheel/flexplate. One advantage to external weights is that they are generally lighter because they are positioned at the extreme ends of the crankshaft. The disadvantage is that these offset weights impart their own twisting forces back into the crankshaft, which is not good. This same situation occurs with the 454ci big-block Chevy, which is also the only production big-block that uses external weights to balance the engine.
Small-block Fords have always been externally balanced, but because Ford is a name synonymous with change, the Blue Oval engineers altered the amount of the external balance when the engines morphed to a one-piece rear main seal. Early small-block Fords used 28 ounce-inches as the external weight amount, changing in 1981 to 50 ounce-inches. Like small-block Chevys, parts can interchange between early and late engines, but to guarantee smooth engine operation, the crankshaft, balancer, and flexplate/flywheel must all be kept within the same balance family.
Bob Weight Blues
When it comes to any kind of crankshaft purchase or if you are considering adding a set of new, lightweight pistons to an existing engine, balancing that rotating assembly can be challenging. One of the references you will run across is something called bob weight. This spec refers to the mass located on a single crankshaft journal that includes both the reciprocating and rotating weight portions of the entire assembly. Rotating weight refers to the mass of the bottom half of the connecting rod that is attached to the crankshaft. The reciprocating weight is basically everything from the middle of the connecting rod upward, including the piston, wristpin, and rings.
Every high-performance crankshaft has a specific bob weight value, such as 1,800 grams. A gram is a metric measurement equivalent to 11/428 ounce. An 1,800-gram bob weight is basically the amount of weight in each of the counterweights. However, you don't just add all the values up to determine bob weight. The formula is 100 percent of the rotating weight plus 50 percent of the reciprocating weight. Let's use an example to see how this breaks down:
|Rotating weight (gm.)
|Reciprocating weight (gm.)
|Rod bearing
|Rod big end
|Rod small end
Before we go further, remember we have a pair of reciprocating weights (two pistons) per crank journal. The math looks like this:
Half of reciprocating weight is 750/2 = 375 x 2 pistons per journal = 750 grams, while total rotating weight is 470 x 2 = 940 grams. Thus 750 + 940 = 1,690 grams.
If the bob weight figure for your new crankshaft is more than the bob weight of your new rods, pistons, and rings, then weight must be removed from the crankshaft in order to balance the assembly. This is a relatively simple task of precision-drillng a few holes in the crankshaft counterweights. If the bob weight figure for the crankshaft is lighter than the piston-and-rod combo, Mallory metal must be added to the crankshaft. Mallory is a very dense metal, more than twice the density of steel. A 11/42-inch-diameter, 31/44-inch-long slug of Mallory weighs 43 grams. The problem is that drilling a hole to place the Mallory in the crank removes roughly 24 grams, so the net gain is only about 19 grams. Thus adding 50 grams can be expensive because Mallory metal isn't cheap. It also means that researching your stroker-engine package carefully to avoid major balancing headaches and expenses is well worth the effort.
Many car crafters prefer to assemble parts for a stroker package from several different sources to save money. Where this can cause major difficulties is when mismatched components are assembled haphazardly and the balance shop must make major changes to the crankshaft in order to balance the engine properly. A simple way to avoid this problem is to purchase a complete rotating assembly from a single source. Most of these stroker kits have already been properly matched so that only minor machine work such as drilling the crank must be done to complete the final balancing.
Here is the Professional Products balancer's external weight for a small-block Ford. To reduce the amount of drilling necessary to balance this combination, Ishigo removed some of the weight from the balancer.
Custom Balance Shortcut
Oftentimes, high-performance stroker applications can get a little complicated. As an example, we're working on a 331ci small-block Ford stroker engine buildup that includes a Scat forged steel crank, Scat I-beam rods, and a set of Mahle forged pistons. When we first assembled this package, we chose the Mahle pistons because of their high quality and light weight. Unfortunately, this caused a problem when we took the assembly to the balance shop because an excessive amount of weight would have to be removed from the counterweights to balance the engine. That's when we asked Tom Lieb at Scat for some guidance. His suggestion was simple: "Take the weight off the balancer and the flywheel." That sounded easy, and he offered to show us how it's done.
At Scat, the company's lead technician, Craig Ishigo, showed us the procedure. Our situation was made more difficult because the custom flywheel required for the engine could not be used on the engine dyno. This meant that Ishigo could not reduce weight by drilling the flywheel because a different flywheel with the standard offset weight would be used on the dyno when we tested the engine. After weighing all the components, it appeared that more than 560 grams (20 ounces) had to be removed from the entire assembly. That's quite a bit of metal.
Ishigo says that while the electronic balancer can read each counterweight individually, he generally treats the engine as front-half and back-half setups. Because this Ford is an externally balanced engine and so much weight had to be removed, Ishigo's first step was to remove 77 grams from the bolt-on offset weight in the Professional Products balancer. But keeping the amount of weight removed from the front and rear symmetrical required removing metal from the crank counterweights on both ends. So Ishigo set the crank in a large lathe and removed more than 400 grams from the front and rear of the crankshaft. The amount of weight removed was limited by the height of the rod journals on the opposite side of the counterweights. When the lathe just barely touched the rod throws, the cutting stopped. Next, he removed additional weight by drilling multiple holes in all the counterweights. Ishigo decided to drill three shallow holes in each counterweight rather than two deep holes, removing another 82 grams from the rear, roughly similar to the 78 grams removed from the balancer. Ishigo says that drilling multiple holes is safer because it's shallower, but drilling holes alongside the direct path of imbalance is also less effective than removing weight directly in line. It comes down to how much weight must be removed. We added up the total weight removed from the crank, and it came to just under 1 pound, 4 ounces. While not a huge amount compared to the overall weight of the entire rotating assembly, it still equates to a lighter package that will rev a little quicker and help acceleration.
SBC Strokers
Another area of potential confusion lies with the extremely popular 383ci small-block Chevy stroker packages. The 383 originated using a 400ci engine crankshaft in a 350 block. As mentioned earlier, the 400 was the only small-block that was externally balanced, and most 383 kits retain this external balance feature. But for higher-end applications using a 4340 forged steel crankshaft, the ideal path is to internally balance the rotating assembly to reduce crankshaft flex. Now let's make this more complex by using a one-piece rear main seal block and crank. With a Lunati Sledgehammer crank and rotating assembly, this is exactly the combination used in the 383 small-block that was our test engine for the giant parts-test story "Are Premium Parts Worth the Price?" in the Sept. '07 issue.
At first this would seem simple, since you don't have to use an offset weight balancer or flexplate/flywheel. However, a one-piece rear main seal rear flange does not allow for the offset weight that is used on a two-piece rear main seal engine. To account for that weight difference, all one-piece rear main seal flexplates (and flywheels) require an offset external weight. But with an internally balanced crank, this weight is not necessary. Thus in the case of a flexplate, the external weight must be carefully removed. For flywheels it's possible to have a zero-balance flywheel custom made. If you already have a flywheel, additional holes can be drilled to bring it back to a zero-balance condition. If this is not done, the engine will experience a vibration that will eventually tear up the main bearings and cause damage that could easily be avoided.

A properly balanced high-performance crankshaft and rotating assembly should come in at less than 1 gram to ensure the engine does not suffer bearing or crankshaft durability problems.Crankshaft counterweights are positioned to offset the weight of the combined upper portion of the two connecting rods including the pistons, wristpins, and rings. Heavier pistons require more counterweight.This is a stock, elastomeric big-block Chevy balancer that has been subjected to multiple 6,000-plus-rpm dyno tests. The black streaks indicate the extent that the outer balance ring moves relative to the inner hub. Smaller, lighter balancers are much easier on a crankshaft than heavy, large-diameter balancers, imparting less twist into the nose of the crank.It is easy to spot an externally balanced engine by looking for either an offset weight inside the front harmonic balancer or weights located on a flexplate. Instead of weight added to externally balanced flywheels, most drill holes in the opposite position to create the same effect.Ford small-blocks have always been externally balanced, but the amount of the offset weight changed in 1981, so be sure all the rotating components are designed to use the same external balance.Before the entire crankshaft assembly can be properly balanced, the shop first weighs all the components individually and then calculates the effective bob weight of the system. The proper weights are then added to the crankshaft rod journals to simulate both the rotating and reciprocating weight.The balancer and flexplate or flywheel must also be used to ensure that the entire rotating assembly is balanced properly.Most balance shops are not equipped with a large lathe like this one at Scat, but this is a great alternative to drilling an excessive number of holes in your crankshaft.
Here is a screen shot of the electronic readout of a Hines balancer after Ishigo finished drilling the small-block crank. Note that the amount of total imbalance in the entire assembly is less than 1 gram.It's easy to spot the weight for the flexplate on a one-piece rear main seal flexplate (arrow). This will need to be removed for an internally balanced 383 stroker. Note the multiple holes drilled were necessary to zero-balance this one-piece rear main seal flywheel, which had been originally built for an externally balanced application.Here is what Mallory metal looks like in a crankshaft. Note that the weight is added horizontally, which is much more secure than adding the weight vertically into the crank counterweight.

More Tips for Updating Your Laundry Room
If doing laundry seems like too much of a chore and you have to talk yourself in to it every week, consider updating your laundry room. Below are some simple tips to help you improve your laundry room and make it a more enjoyable space in which to work. Additionally, some ideas will help you make your laundry room more efficient saving you time so you can do something else that you better prefer.
- Repurpose your Entertainment Center – With flat screen TVs, entertainment centers are becoming a thing of the past. Repurpose your entertainment center and move it to the laundry room. Rearrange or remove shelves to accommodate laundry baskets and laundry supplies such as stain removers, an iron and a jug of bleach. Add a hanging rod to one section so you have a place to hang clothes after you iron them. If you don't have and old entertainment center, consider a baby changing table. It is the right height for folding and has storage shelves below. No matter what piece furniture you add to your laundry room, paint it with a high-gloss paint to give it a durable and washable finish.
- Create and Entertaining Laundry Center – Speaking of flat screen TVs…..Mount a small flat screen on your laundry room wall or buy a simple radio and place it on a laundry room shelf. Your laundry chores will be more bearable if you can watch part of a favorite TV show or listen to your favorite tunes while you sort, fold and iron your laundry.
- Brighten your Space – If you have a laundry room in the basement, chances are you're looking at concrete walls while you're working in the laundry room. Brighten the space by adding a fresh coat of white paint to the ceiling and walls.
- Gather Cleaning Supplies – If you don't have a lot of room, add a lazy Suzan to a nearby shelf. It will keep all of your detergents, stain removers, etc., in a easy-to-access place. Just spin the wheel to find what you need.
- Get Ready to Iron – Mount a wire iron holder to the side of a cabinet or laundry room wall so the iron is always at your fingertips. Also, mount a pull-down/fold-down ironing board to the wall. It saves space and is easy to "put away" when you're finished.
- Get Creative with a Drying Rack – If floor space is limited, repurposed an accordion-style drying rack by mounting it to the wall to air dry delicate items. When it is not in use, simply collapse it back against the wall.
With these quick tips, your laundry chores won't seem like chores as much anymore. For more ideas about updating your laundry room, please review, "Update Your Laundry Room for Easier Wash Days".

WASHINGTON, D.C. (WUSA) - A Washington D.C. man was sentenced Friday to 38 years in jail for his role in a 2009 murder and for first-degree child sex abuse.
Luel Hayes, Jr., 43, was found guilty of second-degree murder in the killing of Rahiem Moore. He was also found guilty on one count of first-degree child sex abuse for attacking a 15-year-old girl. Hayes was sentenced to 27 years for the murder case and 11 years for the sexual abuse case. The sentences will be served consecutively.
According to evidence, Hayes shot and killed Moore, 37, on June 10, 2009. Hayes reportedly was angry with Moore from an earlier dispute and waited for the victim by his parked car in a lot behind 1310 Columbia Road NW. When Moore arrived, evidence states that Hayes shot him five times and left him to die next to his car.
There were no eyewitnesses to the shooting, but Hayes told several people about the murder.
One person he told was a 15-year-old girl who had sexually assaulted in August 2009.

There must be something in the water over at the All England Club (or they're definitely handing out those wonky strawberries) because the upsets keep on coming at Wimbledon, with the latest shocker coming courtesy of Roger Federer.
The 6-time champ was upended by 12th seed Tomas Berdych 6-4, 3-6, 6-1, 6-4 a day after 5-time champ Venus Williams was knocked out by Tsvetana Pirokova and two days after 3-time finalist Andy Roddick was ousted by Yen-Hsun Lu.
The Czech baller was in an aggressive mindset all match long attacking every part of the court with his blistering forehand and overpowering the top seed with his play especially when he put in a first serve. He cracked 51 winners to 44 for the Swiss and won 59 of 72 points (82%) when landing his first serve compared to 57 of 82 (70%) for Fed. Berdy also converted 4 of 6 break point chances while the defending champ only grabbed 1 of 6.
He'll face Novak Djokovic, who routed Lu 6-3, 6-2, 6-2, for a spot in Sunday's final.
An seemingly surly Fed was asked what went wrong with his game in his post-match presser:
Q. You beat him almost every time you played him. Was he any different?
ROGER FEDERER: Like I said, I think he was a bit more consistent than in the past. I lost to him in Miami this year, where it was a really tight match as well. But from my end, obviously, you know, I'm unhappy with the way I'm playing. I couldn't play the way I wanted to play. You know, I am struggling with a little bit of a back and a leg issue. That just doesn't quite allow me to play the way I would like to play. So it's frustrating, to say the least. Looking forward to some rest anyway.
Q. How do those physical things affect you the most?
ROGER FEDERER: Well, when you're hurting, it's just a combination of many things. You know, you just don't feel as comfortable. You can't concentrate on each and every point because you do feel the pain sometimes. And, uhm, yeah, then you tend to play differently than the way you want to play. Under the circumstances I think I played a decent match, you know. But I've been feeling bad for the last two, three matches now. It's just not good and healthy to play under these kind of conditions, you know. So if there's anything good about this it's I'm gonna get some rest, that's for sure.
Q. When did you first start feeling the problems?
ROGER FEDERER: Well, the leg came in the finals of Halle. That kind of never really quite got away from me. Came back a little bit after the first‑round match, and then went away again and just kept creeping back sometimes during the matches. The back's been feeling stiff the last five days, six days really badly. Also in the finals of Halle. It's just something that's been lingering on the grass. It's normal that the back tends to get stiff, you know, in the grass court season because you have to, uhm, go for many more lower shots. I've had that for many years. I think many players have it. But it's not just not nice when it doesn't go away and you can't play freely. That's what I was missing today.
He was also asked about Andy Murray's chances to finally bring the crown home. Check out his answer to that one:
Q. I wonder if you think this might be his year, given some of the really threatening players haven't been doing so well this year.
ROGER FEDERER: Yeah, I mean, true, Rafa played terribly lately; Soderling is not a threat either. He's got an easy ride to this victory, that's for sure. Djokovic can't play tennis anymore it seems like. Got to make your own work, please. Respect the players. Obviously Andy is a fantastic player and he's got all the chances to win here. We all know that.
One word: WOW. It's pretty disappointing to see a 16-time Grand Slammer blame injuries, which he never mentioned earlier in the tourney, and not the stellar play of his opponent for his loss. He's human and obviously disappointed by the loss but he was outplayed today - simple as that. Berdy performed well the entire match and kept his head together in the tight moments - something he wasn't known to do but has done well this year.
Plus, what's with those biting comments towards Rafa, Sod and Nole? Was he trying to make a funny?
Me thinks someone was handing out sour grapes in the presser today.
As for the other quarterfinals, Rafa beat Sod 3-6, 6-3, 7-6 (4), 6-1 and will take on Muzz, who ousted Jo-Wilfried Tsonga 6-7 (5), 7-6 (5), 6-2, 6-2, in the semifinals. *grabs popcorn*
UPDATE: Here's a bit of what Pretty Boy had to say in response to Fed's post-match commentary. I'll have more in today's 'He Said/He Said' post...
Q. How do you feel about Roger after the things he said after the match?
TOMAS BERDYCH: No, I mean, yeah, it's just his point of view. That's what he said, and I don't care. I mean, it's just his opinion. So he needs to have some reasons for it, and that's what he said.
Yeah, that's what I said. I mean, yeah, just respect him in all points of what he did, what he achieved, everything. But, yeah, that's how it is. That's was his reason, what he said, and just leave it with him.
And thanks to reader Ashzulfi for reminding me that Fed will now drop to the third spot in the rankings for the first time since 2003 behind Rafa at the top and Nole who will supplant him at No. 2 when they're released on Monday. Double OUCH.

Final Score: Philadelphia 87, Charlotte 76

rebounds -- half on the offensive glass -- to go with 14 points, and the
Philadelphia 76ers sent the Charlotte Bobcats to a seventh straight loss with
an 87-76 decision at Wells Fargo Center. The Sixers were outscored at the free
throw line, 20-7, but had 24 more points in the paint and got a spark from

two days after signing a 10-day contract. Jrue Holiday netted 20 points,

to a fourth straight loss with a 116-91 victory on Saturday. Dallas
overwhelmed Golden State by grabbing a 62-36 advantage by halftime and never
looked back. O.J. Mayo scored 19 points and Darren Collison had 18 with eight

Milwaukee, WI (Sports Network) - Charlie Villanueva nailed a 3-pointer with
9.7 seconds remaining to lift the Detroit Pistons over the Milwaukee Bucks,
105-100, on Saturday. Jose Calderon, playing in his third game since

the Pistons, who won their second straight following a victory Friday which
snapped San Antonio's 11-game winning streak. Rodney Stuckey donated 19
points, while Villanueva finished with 18 -- on 4-of-7 from behind the arc --
and 13 rebounds in the victory. Brandon Jennings scored a game-high 26 points
and dished out seven helpers for the Bucks, who had a chance to tie the
game following Villanueva's trey. Jennings got the ball back and drove
across halfcourt, but misfired from well beyond the three-point arc, although
the clock still showed three seconds, and the Bucks were forced to foul
Stuckey, who made two free throws to provide the final points. Ersan
Ilyasova and Samuel Dalembert each recorded double-doubles with 15

with 11 rebounds to help Sacramento avenge Monday's loss at Utah and end a
four-game skid. Alec Burks put forth a career-best 24 points, but the
Jazz suffered their second straight defeat and third consecutive on the road.
Al Jefferson was the only starter for Utah in double-figures, scoring 16

In the winter of 1925 many in Nome, Alaska were getting sick. They were coming down with a bacterial disease in the respiratory tract known as diphtheria. The closest serum was six hundred fifty miles away in Anchorage. There were no pilots available to fly the serum from Anchorage to Nome. The serum was transported as far as possible by railroad and then carried north to Nome by a series of relay dog sled teams thus was born the Iditarod. That first run with the serum in 1925 mushers and dogs endured temperatures forty below zero and colder with winds as high as eighty miles an hour. The last team arrived in Nome with the serum in less than six days.
The race covers over one thousand miles from Anchorage to Nome covering a similar route the first dog teams covered back in 1925. This is a grueling race for the mushers and the team of dogs. The winner received fifty thousand dollars and a new truck. Dallas, Mitch's son won the race last year. I'd need even more incentive to run in that race. The race was won this year by the oldest winner in history, and a winner in 2004, by Mitch Seavey. The fifty three year old completed the course in nine days, seven hours, thirty nine minutes and fifty six seconds crossing the finish line Wednesday. Mitch crossed the finish line just twenty four minutes ahead of Aliy Zirckle a transplant from New England. Mitch says she will win many Iditarod races in the future.

Using high quality treatment products is the first step in achieving professional skin care results. When the epidermis is in extra need of help, Elizabeth Arden Treatments can play a vital role in restoring and repairing past environmental and other free radical damage which may have lead to pre-mature aging, discoloration, uneven skin texture and tone, and many other skin conditions and indications.
Regular use of Elizabeth Arden Treatments (whether it's a weekly mask or a daily serum) can help to enhance and potentiate daily products by delivering an extra boost of helpful ingredients to skin that has been damaged and is most likely compromised. Additionally, the treatments (particularly resurfacing products) are usually helpful in terms of preparing the skin to more readily accept nourishing ingredients. The key point revolving around the usage of Elizabeth Arden Treatments is to identify, target and treat skin issues that are too stubborn for typical daily regimens.
Most all professional beauty brands are aware that there are times when the skin needs deeper, more aggressive and/or specialized treatment in order to repair, nourish, revitalize and/or protect the skin. Elizabeth Arden Treatments offer a variety of specialized products that help with a number of indications and conditions all at once. Elizabeth Arden Ceramide Gold Ultra Restorative Capsules (in a single jar) is a perfect example of a targeted, boosted reparative treatment. The unique complex of ingredients placed into single-dosed capsules strengthens the skin's protective mantle, restores elasticity and improves skin tone.
Another prime example of a targeted treatment which potentiates and offers a boost to the normal daily skin care regimen is Elizabeth Arden's Intervene Time Fighting Radiance Serum. It's a radiance boosting formulation which minimizes pore size, fortifies the skin's natural defense system, treats, repairs and works as a foundation primer. It is reported to make the skin glow with a brilliant luminosity.
Typically, intensive skin care treatments are products that produce a boost in skin renewal and/or cellular turnover. Anti-aging issues have long been treated successfully with mild to potent exfoliating actions. Elizabeth Arden Overnight Success Skin Renewal Serum falls into this particular category. The serum is ideal for all types of skin. When used nightly it enhances the skin's renewal process and resurfaces the skin which evens out discoloration and sweeps away dead skin cells, brightening the skin's surface and providing an avenue for more readily accepting nourishing ingredients.

|Sprague boys advance to Disney World
|Written by Chris Lee
Having the opportunity to go to Disney World is every kid's dream, but to go to Disney World with the chance of winning $52,000 is a little higher up on the wish list.
For Sprague brothers Gage, age 6 and Alec, 7 of Holyoke, the trip is locked up, now they wait anxiously to actually go.
The sons of Emma and Alan Sprague of Holyoke recently spent a day in Denver auditioning for a Kravers Corn Puff commercial in front of Disney talent scouts.
Emma was in Sterling Friday, Feb. 5 when she heard a commercial for the auditions. She sent in photographs of the kids and the following Tuesday received a phone call notifying her Gage and Alec had been chosen. Out of the 1,191 applicants, 266 were chosen.
The auditions took place Saturday, Feb. 13 at the Curtis Hotel in downtown Denver. Before arriving, the boys learned lines for the commercial.
The talent scout interviewing the boys was famous for the movies Legally Blonde and James Bond 007, Sprague said. The scout judging their commercial auditions was from the ICarly show.
According to Emma, Gage nailed the audition with a surprise John Travolta move in the end. As for Alec, she said it pretty much comes naturally to him. "My kids love the camera, and that's why we thought to give them a chance," she added.
An e-mail was received Sunday, Feb. 14 notifying the Spragues both boys were chosen for a spot at the Disney talent show in Orlando, Fla. in July at the Swan Lake Resort at Walt Disney World.
They will be working with stars from ICarly, Unfabulous, High School Musical and many other Disney cast members for three days, and then a talent show will follow.
The talent show will be performed in front of and judged by 250 talent scouts. Gage will compete in commercial and model while Alec will try his hand at one-liners and comedic act. The acts are split into separate age groups.
Emma said the entire family plans to attend the event July 6-11. They will be planning fund raisers to fund the entire trip, which won't be cheap. She said they have had a lot of support from friends and family over the last week.
Gage and Alec have three other siblings, Luke 4, Emma Marie 3 and Mason 2.

There are several differences between Stainless Steel and Titanium dive knives. The first and most obvious being that one is made from some grade of stainless steel and the other is made of titanium.
Stainless steel knives get their name from the low grade of the material they are made from. The stainless steel helps prevent corrosion but unfortunately to make the knife strong an amount of carbon is added to the alloy.
Titanium dive knives won't rust like their steel counterparts, and in general, hold an edge much better. They are much lighter in weight but equally as strong and for this reason alone, they are often one of the more attractive choices for a diver.
There are several important features to either knife that the diver should look for. On the blade, it is very important for the knife to have a serrated edge. Another important feature is a line cutter. Finally a handy feature is a tank banger on the butt end of the knife. It can assist with signaling of a dive buddy and works as a great attention getter during a dive.

looks good and very rep worthy first post.
At a quick glance the only problem I see with the views is that in the third, the mountains to the left are VERY blocky. Any way you can broaden the bases because the sides go straight up....
Hi all
I've just returning to RPG gaming and started in a group where each person has taken an island in an archipelago to developing it. Well this is the island I chose I've named it Kelios (because I like the way it sounded). So far I have done the island map and some shots and now started on the main town on the island. Its been a long time since I last tried mapping and having some fun with it. Using CS6 and Terragen 2. Was looking for some thoughts, tips suggestions on pushing the maps to another level.
Island with Hex scale (Island is about 50mile wide, and long blue area's at the bottom are reefs. I have got different hex sizes too but not shown here)
The second island map shows zones of control. So far only done the 3 more to be attached. The grey bar is a navigation line that fits on the main map of the archipelago, to try and link the maps.
Dragon tooth bay as you sail through it.(on a nice day) low tide shot of dragon bay and finally picture from west to east.
Town of Kelios at WIP stage
At the present i'm dealing with the bear of empty space and what to put in it.
Scale is also an issue im trying in my head to decide how many building i should have. and neither id nor ego is winning.
Look forward to hearing thoughts for a new cartographer. Hope there wasnt to many images.
Happy Designing
Added grass, market, marques, trees, numerous buildings. pond. holding pens fenced are. Looking better more filled out hope edit the first page is the what normally done.

Man Settles Lawsuit Against Illinois City After Bogus DUI Arrest
A nightmare scenario for an Illinois man was recently resolved when he won a settlement against the city of Naperville after being falsely arrested for DUI.
According to the Chicago Sun-Times, David Briddle was driving his Mercedes sedan on May 30 when police pulled him over and arrested him for driving under the influence of alcohol.
After his arrest, though, Briddle took a blood alcohol test and passed with flying colors, registering a 0.0 during the breathalyzer test.
Briddle's sterling performance on the BAC test, however, was not the end of the story. Despite the exonerating evidence, and the fact that police released him without charges, Naperville police still announced Briddle's arrest on the police blotter.
As a result, Briddle's mug shot and a story detailing his arrest were published in a local newspaper, despite the fact that Briddle had not actually committed a crime.
Even though the Naperville police made a mistake, they claim that had a valid reason to arrest Briddle.
According to the police report from the incident, Briddle admitted to having four or five beers before starting his car, and allegedly failed a field sobriety test, though Briddle disputed this in his lawsuit.
Briddle's lawsuit, filed with the aid of his DUI lawyer, accuses Naperville police of regularly inflating their drunk driving arrest statistics. Briddle claims that his unfortunate incident was part of a pattern of unlawful behavior by the police department.
This claim will not be addressed in court, as Briddle settled with the city for $10,000 before proceeding to trial, but it does raise questions about the Naperville police department.
In his lawsuit, Briddle observed that Naperville ranked second in Illinois cities (other than Chicago) for DUI arrests. Briddle also claimed that Naperville police officials inflate the city's DUI arrests to provide more revenue and recognition for the city.
Despite Briddle's allegations, a study performed by the Chicago Sun-Times suggests that Briddle's misfortune may have been an isolated incident.
Arrest reports obtained from the Naperville police for last Memorial Day weekend show that the majority of drivers pulled over by local police had blood alcohol levels above the legal limit. This suggests that Naperville police weren't indiscriminately arresting people for false DUIs.
Accusations of profit-seeking are often leveled against police for enforcing speeding limits and drunk driving laws, but if drivers are violating these laws, police have every right to pull them over.
The difficulties inherent in proving systematic discrimination or arbitrary arrests by police likely led Briddle to accept a settlement in this case.
While false DUI arrests undoubtedly occur, they are not usually the norm. It is more common for DUI arrests to be rendered invalid due to sloppy police work, or the failure of the arresting officers to abide by procedural regulations.

CHARLES COUNTY, Md. (WUSA9) -- A man has been arrested after he attempted to steal money from Girl Scouts, police said.
On March 24 at approximately 6:00 P.M., officers responded to a theft report on the 3200 block of Plaza Way. An intoxicated man and a woman had approached a group of Girl Scouts who were selling cookies in front of a store, police said.
According to police, the female suspect pushed the cookies off the display table and the man reached for the envelope with money in it.
The scouts troop leader was pushed by the suspect after she grabbed the envelope. She was injured as both suspects fled without the money, police said.
The father of one of the scouts was able to locate the male suspect and tried to detain him as Officer J. Morales arrived and helped secure the suspect.
James Ernest Wright, 48, was arrested and charged with attempted robbery, theft, and disorderly conduct, police said.
They are still working on identifying the female suspect.

|Import-export library
XBMC offers the capability to import and export data manually into/from the Media Library.
1 Import / Export options
The Import / Export options can be found in Relevant Music / Videos Settings.
Video Library:
- Export Video Library
- Exports the Library database to either one, or multiple XML files. When you initiate an export, XBMC will ask if you want to export to separate or a single file.
- If you choose to export to separate files you will also be asked if you want to export thumbnails and fanart as well.
- The resulting XML nfo file and associated image files will then be exported to the location of the corresponding video files.
- Import Video Library
- Imports an XML file into the Library database. If the entry does not exist it is appended.
- If it exists:
- It removes all current info for that entry from the database.
- Inserts the info for that entry from the XML file.
- Note: If you wish to import a movie, TV show, music video or episode into the library, use the corresponding format in the exported xml file and enclose it with the <videodb></videodb> tags. Examples can be seen below, as nfo files.
Music Library:
- Export Music Library
- Exports the Library database to XML files.
- Import Music / Video Library
- Imports a XML file into the Library database. If the entry does not exist it is skipped.
- If it exists:
- It removes all current info for that entry from the database.
- Inserts the info for that entry from the XML file.
2 Video nfo Files
Nfo files can be used to provide data for a video file in XBMC or influence the search behavior of scrapers. In particular they are helpful if the information fetched from a web site does not match the video file, or data for that particular file does not exist.
By default at the time of scanning, if the media folder contains a correctly named *.nfo file, then XBMC will load the *.nfo file and attempt to either, in the case of it containing XML data get the metadata directly from the nfo file or will parse it for a direct URL to the scraper info page. This allows XBMC to skip it's normal lookup and/or search procedures, useful if a file's information is not available on any of the scraper sites, or if the filematching criteria fails for the particular file.
2.1 Video nfo Files containing XML data
1. The *.nfo file is an XML file containing the data for inclusion in the library.
2.1.1 Movies
Movie.nfo will override all and any nfo files in the same folder as the media files. If there is only one nfo file in a folder, The scraper will use it for all media files in that folder. If there are multiple media files in a folder, the *.nfo must be named exactly the same as the video file it is representing (ie. moviename.avi and moviename.nfo). In the case of multi-part (stacked) video stacking, name the file either moviename.nfo or moviename-CD1.nfo where the first filename is moviename-CD1.avi.

2.1.2 TV Shows
The filename of the NFO should be "tvshow.nfo" (Exact, NOT the name of the actual TV show) and it should be in the root folder of the TV show.
The nfo xml file may contain a valid <episodeguideurl> to allow online updates. If not, only episodes with nfo files will be added.
<tvshow> <title>My TV Show</title> <episodeguideurl>http://www.thetvdb.com/api/1D62F2F90030C444/series/seriesid/all/language.zip<episodeguideurl> <rating>9.900</rating> <episode>0</episode> <plot>The best TV show in the world</plot> <genre>Action and Adventure / Drama</genre> <premiered>2000-01-01</premiered> <studio></studio> <actor> <name>Big John</name> <role>Jack of all trades</role> <thumb></thumb> </actor> </tvshow>
2.1.3 TV Episodes
The *.nfo must be named exactly as the episode filename (i.e. episodename.avi and episodename.nfo) and in the same folder, allowing multiple episode and *.nfo files within the same folder.
For multi-part episodes, simply add multiple <episodedetails> XML blocks in succession.
<episodedetails> <title>My TV Episode</title> <rating>10.00</rating> <season>2</season> <episode>1</episode> <plot>he best episode in the world</plot> <credits>Writer</credits> <director>Mr. Vision</director> <aired>2000-01-01</aired> <actor> <name>Little Suzie</name> <role>Pole Jumper/Dancer</role> </actor> </episodedetails>
2.1.4 Music Videos
The filename of the NFO should be the same as the music video file, only replacing the original extension with .nfo.
i.e. Bestartistintheworld - Bestsongintheworld.avi should have the corresponding nfo filename Bestartistintheworld - Bestsongintheworld.nfo.
<musicvideo> <title>Bestsongintheworld</title> <artist>Bestartistintheworld</artist> <album>Me</album> <genre>Pop</genre> <runtime>3:20</runtime> <plot>Scantly clad women hoing about</plot> <year>2000</year> <director>and I</director> <studio>Ego prod.</studio> </musicvideo>
2.2 Video nfo files containing an URL
2. The *.nfo file contains a URL of the information page to scrape. The file can include other information (i.e. scene info), XBMC will scan through it and use a relevant URL if a match is found.
The scraper tries to match url's to all scrapers of the content type a dir is set to. E.g. if you set the content type to movies all movie scrapers check nfo files for a matching url. This means that nfo's override the scraper setting. I.e. a directory is set to use the imdb scraper but you have a german movie in it. Simply create a nfo for that movie with the ofdb link in it and you are sorted!
2.2.1 Movies
Movie.nfo will override all and any nfo files in the same folder as the media files.
Moviename.nfo where Moviename is the name of the movie file that points to a movie on IMDb.com.
If you use the "Use Foldername for Lookups" scraper setting XBMC will use the first nfo file it finds in the folder and apply it to any valid video file it finds in the same folder.
2.2.2 TV Shows
Filename should be tvshow.nfo (Exact, NOT the name of the TV show) in the root folder of the TV Show that points to a show on TheTVDB.com.
2.2.3 TV Episodes
Episodename.nfo where Episodename is the name of the episode file.
Not currently supported!
2.2.4 Music Videos
Mvideo.nfo where Mvideo is the name of the music video file that points to a music video on MTV.com
2.3 Video nfo files containing a mix of XML and URL
You can also create nfo files that contain both XML data and an URL. This is useful for instance, if you want the entry in your database to have another name than the one officially provided by the scraper.
Example: <xml> <movie>
<title>Sin City (Recut, Extended, Unrated)</title> <runtime>147 min.</runtime>
</movie> http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0401792/ </xml>
By default the xml entry is added to the scraped entry in the database and may result in some duplicates. If you want to completely override the scraped result you need to set a clear attribute for the relevant xml tag in the nfo file.
Example: <xml>
<genre clear="true">Action</genre> <genre>Horror</genre> <genre>Thriller</genre> <director clear="true">Frank Miller</director> <director>Robert Rodriguez</director> <director>Quentin Tarantino</director>
Currently supported tags for the clear attribute are genre, director, studio, actor, credits and artist for Music Videos.
3 Importing library information from "My Movies" media management software
My Movies (www.mymovies.name) is an online database for profiling DVD-Video movies. My Movies saves an XML file and a poster cover image which with this patch will get scanned by XBMC in the same way as XBMC's own XML formatted NFO files are scanned/scraped.
XBMC have the ability to the import movie library information from "My Movies" via the mymovies.xml files that it generates, and these mymovies.xml are prioritized over NFO files.
4 Music nfo files

#1 "New York Times" bestselling author Nora Roberts introduces you to the Montgomery brothers--Beckett, Ryder, and Owen--as they bring an intimate bed-and-breakfast to life in their hometown.
Owen is the organizer of the Montgomery clan, running the family's construction business with an iron fist--and an even less flexible spreadsheet. And though his brothers bust on his compulsive list-making, the Inn BoonsBoro is about to open right on schedule. The only thing Owen didn't plan for was Avery McTavish...
Avery's popular pizza place is right across the street from the inn, giving her a first-hand look at its amazing renovation--and a newfound appreciation for Owen. Since he was her first boyfriend when they were kids, Owen has never been far from Avery's thoughts. But the attraction she's feeling for him now is far from innocent.
As Avery and Owen cautiously take their relationship to another level, the opening of the inn gives the whole town of Boonsboro a reason to celebrate. But Owen's hard work has only begun. Getting Avery to let down her guard is going to take longer than he expected--and so will getting her to realize that her first boyfriend is going to be her last...

- Reviewer: Staff
Roberts' newest addition to her enormous body of work (after The Next Always: Book One of the Inn BoonsBoro Trilogy) fails to uphold the dictum that practice makes perfect—or at least makes better. Though Roberts has authored over 200 books, this second installment in the Inn BoonsBoro Trilogy falls flat. Owen Montgomery is responsible for seeing to it that the titular inn—recently restored by Owen and his brothers, Beckett and Ryder—opens on time. But then again, he wasn't planning on being sidetracked, especially by an old flame. Avery McTavish claims Owen as her first boyfriend, no matter that she was five years old at the time. Now Owen is determined to rekindle their love and make sure he's the last boyfriend she ever has. Helped along by the Inn's resident ghost, Owen's plan may work out in his favor, but a contrived plot and clinical romance leaves readers plodding along without excitement or seduction. Redeemed only by the mature manner in which the main characters handle their problems, this book is best left for the die-hard Roberts fans. (May)

The latest action item from the Campaign for Liberty. Please take just five minutes to read this over and sign the petition to your U.S. Senators. You can do it very easily electronically, and Campaign for Liberty makes sure your Senators are notified.
Dear Patriot:
For a while there, it looked like you and I had him.
Ben Bernanke's back was to the wall, and he was being grilled by the Senate. His reconfirmation was anything but certain.
In the end, he managed to squeak through. Nevertheless, we should be truly proud of what we accomplished.
Fewer senators backed Bernanke's reconfirmation than that of any other Fed Chair before. EVER.
He was publicly shamed by your grassroots pressure.
You and I can't let this public scrutiny go to waste!
That's why I need you to sign our petition demanding an up-or-down roll call vote on the Audit the Fed Bill IMMEDIATELY.
But now we also face new challenges. Until this vote, Ben Bernanke and his Fed cronies were just laughing us off.
This was a real shot across the bow, and they got the message.
Now, the Fed and their high-powered lobbyists are digging in. We have the momentum, but they won't easily budge an inch.
That's why I hope you'll sign the Senate "Audit the Fed NOW!" petition and also make a generous contribution to help Campaign for Liberty turn up the heat on our Senate targets and combat the Fed's new lobbying counter-offensive.
They'll be pulling out all the stops, calling in all their Senate favors and drumming up as much support as they can muster to derail our Audit the Fed freight train.
Remember, the Fed was able to secure 99 out of 100 Senate votes for Bernanke's first confirmation in 2006. So, they've had nearly the whole Senate in their pocket before.
But the recent vote clearly showed cracks in the armor, since 30 senators voted against Bernanke's reconfirmation.
Even though the Fed's grip on the U.S. Senate is slipping, they're not likely to let go without a fight.
So now we need to push harder than ever before.
We can't let up the pressure one bit, or the bankster lobbyists will convince Congress that our Audit movement was "just a fluke."
I couldn't stand to see all our hard work go up in smoke.
We need to show them we're here to stay, and we mean business!
So please, sign the petition I've linked below right away and make a generous $100, $50 or $25 contribution to C4L.
The Fed's lobbyists will throw their weight around and try to pin back down Senators who've slipped out from under their thumb.
The good news is it may be too late for that.
After the grassroots OUTRAGE over Ben Bernanke's reconfirmation, most senators are terrified their re-election bids will be D.O.A. if they're seen backing the Fed now.
Just look at how Federal Reserve lackeys like Senators Chris Dodd and Evan Bayh are ducking out of their races.
They read the handwriting on the wall and knew there was no way they could explain away their support for the Fed's secret banking and currency devaluation.
They couldn't survive the voters again, because the American people have wised up to the Fed's destructive meddling.
Before Ron Paul's Presidential Campaign, I never would have thought this possible.
There was just no way Americans everywhere would be asking "Why do we even need a Fed?"
But now voters everywhere are hearing the Fed apologists' big lie and are rejecting it outright.
You know the one. We've heard it ad nauseam for months.
That the Federal Reserve "saved our economy." That they "brought us back from the brink of disaster."
Today, fewer and fewer people are buying that story. And the Fed is paying the price in slipping Senate support.
The America people are finally realizing that the Fed is responsible for bringing this economic crisis down on our heads in the first place!
And that's why now is the perfect time to launch our Audit the Fed push into high gear.
I hope you'll sign this petition INSISTING your senators immediately push for an up or down roll call vote on Audit the Fed.
But I really hope you'll make a generous $100, $50 or $25 contribution so Campaign for Liberty can really kick the pressure into overdrive and combat the Fed's new lobbying push.
With your help, we'll drop truckloads of mail, hitting carefully-selected target senators in their own state...
...we'll crank up the phone banks to rally the grassroots and light up the Senate switchboards...
...we'll organize rallies and protests right in these swing senators' backyards.
We'll hit our targets where it HURTS.
And with your help, we'll finally get our vote on Audit the Fed.
It all starts with you.
I'm counting on your petition, but when a fight like this comes to a head...
...when push comes to SHOVE...
...even a towering stack of petitions won't get the job done.
That's why I'm also counting on you for a generous contribution of $100, $50 or $25 right away.
You see, the Fed banksters may be down, but they're certainly not out yet. In fact, they're just getting started.
And they still have plenty of pull, and lots of loyal friends in high places.
That's why we need to double down on target senators who can still be freed from the Fed's stranglehold.
And that's why your contribution of $100, $50 or even just $25 is so important. It lets us really turn up the heat in target states where we'll get the most "bang for the buck."
So please, click here to sign the petition to your senators and then please make a generous contribution of $100, $50 or $25 to Campaign for Liberty.
We're almost at the finish line, but the going's about to get tough. Please don't quit now.
In Liberty,
John Tate
P.S. Ever since Ben Bernanke was reconfirmed with the most tepid "support" of any Fed Chairmen EVER, the public scrutiny of the Fed has never been higher. Unfortunately, the Fed lobbyists are now beginning to really push back.
That's why we must gear up too, and launch our Audit the Fed push into OVERDRIVE!

MANASSAS, Va. (WUSA) -- The owner of Growing Minds Daycare in Manassas who was charged last week with child cruelty is now charged with 3 counts of abduction.
Thirty-eight-year-old Tara Angelyn Loop was charged after officers reportedly found three children under the age of four unattended in her daycare in Manassas on October 2. At that time, police said six children were in the home.
Loop allegedly had her 16-year-old daughter watching the children for long hours. Monday, police said that they learned her daughter was told to remove three of the children from the home before police arrived to check out reports about child neglect.
In total, 9 children were at the home and police say Loop didn't get permission to remove the three children from her home.

Oh, good one. The "you're on the internet so you must have no life" insult isn't moronic or unoriginal at all. You must, without a doubt, be a very important member of society, not at all a waste of the already barely valuable gift of life.
As is the case for everyone who takes issue with people who make them sad on the internet, you are one of two kinds of people:
You are exactly what you claim I am, and that is a lonely, pathetic basement dweller. You life is spent eating eight pounds of junk food per day, masturbating to anything you find online that's even remotely feminine, and wishing you had good looks and social skills. You continue to live with your mother until she dies of a combination of lung cancer and liver failure brought on by the chain-smoking and heavy drinking she used to cope with what a failure you are. Your mother mercifully dead and free of the living embodiment of failure she regretfully thrust from her loins, the bills start to pile up and you, unemployed and unable to pay these bills (of course), lose the house and everything in it. Somehow even more of a failure than you already were, you wander from place to place eating out of dumpsters and sleeping in your own filth until you finally die of AIDS, which you contracted from a diseased whore you scrounged up enough money to pay for, so you could finally lose your virginity while at the same time pretending that your mother was back in your life.
You are the type who was an athlete in high school, who was genetically doomed to be an idiot but managed to finish school and even get a college scholarship because you were so good at a worthless children's game. You went off to college with a suitcase full of polo shirts and condoms, the polo shirts, because you're a douche, and the condoms to prevent you from impregnating the dim-witted young college girls whom you could never touch without the aid of Rohypnol, a drug you refer to as "roofies" because you can neither spell or pronounce Rohypnol. You scrape by with borderline D's for the next four years, and leave the campus to go out into the real world where your realize you're not intelligent or talented enough to do anything of value with your life. Misery and minimum wage ensues for thirty years, then you blow your brains out, and your corpse, alone and forgotten, is not discovered until the smell of rotting flesh seeps under your door and your bodily fluids finally soak through the floor of your studio apartment and into the room below you. Your body is cremated, the ashes scraped into a garbage bin because there was no one in your life who valued you enough to pay for a casket, funeral, or burial plot.
You're undoubtedly one of the two, otherwise you would have better things to do than complain about the theme of a forum that doesn't care about anything you have to say.

I came across it while googling for a pic of Happiness Island which also led me to Psy's 'Trip To Liberty City' diary which I'd never read before. I lol'd a few times especially at the bit where he said the girl (Alison?) from Rockstar pointed out the locations of a machine gun and health pack on the real Happiness Island during their tour of NYC.
