appreciate your thoughtful explanatory reply.
here's my thing with reincarnation....why is the world going backwards into immorality and depravity instead of forward to morality, decency, normalcy, and goodness.
are we just swamped with evil reincarnated souls right now?
the world just seems totally upside down. i'm wondering if these aspartame theories (it is like poison to me, i can taste it immediately) might have some merit in dumbing down the populace and making them behave so against the values of God and this nation.
shit just seems unreal to me. this is not the world i grew up in ... it is not the world of even several years ago....it is weird and strange. people talk about alternate timelines....idk...maybe God moved me and bunches of other people, too? i feel totally out of place and some people cannot even listen to logic and reason. it's crazy.
That's a valid question. I can't claim to know the answer but I can share my perspective. Let's say hypothetically we lived in a different world where everyone had complete free will to act as they pleased and there was no external control and manipulation being exerted on the population by a group of individuals with a higher power & authority to do so. This type of scenario would allow for a much better reading or interpretation as to the state of morality, decency, normalcy, goodness of the population. Everyone would have the free will to act out of their true nature without external influences playing a significant role in shaping their behavior and mentality.
But that's not what we're faced with because we live in a world where the majority are controlled & influenced by a small minority. We have little to no say in our legal system, our elected officials and what they do, the financial system and it's practices/regulations, the food supply, the technology and medical treatments we have access to, etc etc. The majority of the population is being heavily influenced and manipulated by 'systems' in place that only a small minority have the power & authority to change. We live in a pyramid style control structure where the actions of a few have a huge affect on the quality of life of the majority. My contention is that with the present circumstances and 'system' that we're subjected to, it's EXTREMELY DIFFICULT to gauge or interpret the collective state of morality, decency, normalcy, goodness of the general population. It's the nature vs. nurture debate and now more than ever, we can see how people are becoming a victim of their environment and allowing it to influence their behavior.
If hypothetically we lived in a more utopian type system where individuals were not victims of a predatory financial system, did not have to struggle and slave away at meaningless jobs just to pay-to-live, and did not have to spend 30 years just working to pay for the home that they have been living in - do we really think we would be witnessing the same level of crime, corruption, and heartlessness? If the majority of indviduals were mentally healthier and happier as a result of being exposed to a different type of lifestyle, and not riddled with depression and this unnatural lifestyle we are subjected to, don't you feel you would be likely to have a completely different impression about the character/nature of the average person?
It's for these reasons that I do not allow the negative behavior of a certain segment of the population to dictate my general or overall view as to the collective nature of humanity. I feel many of these individuals behaving negatively would not be acting in this manner if our circumstances or environment were not the way that it has been engineered to be.
You also have to remember how much the media/news controls our perception of the world and how much negative behavior gets reported and dominates the news coverage. There could be 9 acts of kindness & compassion taking place but the 1 act of violence/immorality will always get the news coverage. If hypothetically (this would never happen) the media decided for one month to only report positive news stories, it would have a profound effect on how your average person views the current state of our society.
The last thing is that these old systems we've been living under are falling apart and collapsing. The collective consciousness of society is outgrowing these outdated methods of operating and we're going to continue to see a falling away from our old ways of doing things. This will create tension/conflict/turmoil in the short term but it's necessary for this to happen and I think it should be looked upon as 'growing pains'....

Power and knowledge in the Agricultural Lending Division of the Fiji Development Bank
Deo, Hemant & Irvine, Helen J. (2006) Power and knowledge in the Agricultural Lending Division of the Fiji Development Bank. Asian Review of Accounting, 14(1/2), pp. 66-82.
|PDF (200kB)
Purpose of the paper: This paper exposes the gap between rationalist banking theory and actual practice within the Agricultural Lending Division of the Fiji Development Bank (FDB) by focusing on the inter-relationship between power and knowledge.
Design/methodology/approach: Data for this qualitative research project was gathered from archived documents, interviews, observation and reflection. A Foucauldian theoretical framework was used, which acknowledged the impact of social, economic and political factors within the bank's historical context. Findings: In practice non-rationalist factors play a vital role in decision making and the development of mechanisms of accountability within the FDB. The bank's policies and procedures have ultimately had to strike a delicate balance between the Fijian government's development goals, profitability requirements and the formal rationalities of new public management, and the cultural realities of agricultural lending in Fiji's traditional community-oriented society. Research implications: This study refutes a merely technocratic approach to banking research, opening up possibilities for further studies which focus on power within a socio-historic context. Practical implications: The findings of this study challenge banks to acknowledge the subjectivity of their lending processes and to improve the accountability of lending officers. Original/value of the paper: This paper demonstrates the credibility and usefulness of a theoretically driven qualitative research study in making visible issues that would otherwise be hidden.

- Boat Review and Purchase Forum (http://www.sailnet.com/forums/boat-review-purchase-forum/)
- - Hunter, Catalina, and Beneteau''s 28-30'' or what? (http://www.sailnet.com/forums/boat-review-purchase-forum/6873-hunter-catalina-beneteaus-28-30-what.html)
Hunter, Catalina, and Beneteau''''s 28-30'''' or what?
I am planning to cruise the florida bahamas area for a couple years it will be the first sailboat that I own and I am not sure of the seaworthiness of Hunter, Catalina, or Beneteau for that type of sailing. I need to buy something that is appprox. 35k total boat budget. I was hopping to get the boat for about 30k and plan about 5k in repairs and fixer up''s. I have heard that these boats may not be of high quality as some boats for sailing that area. Can you tell me what your opinion is on 28-30'' boats of those manufacturers or possibly other manufacturers that make a 28-30'' boat that might be more for the type of sailing I want to do. Only two people on board and plan to island hop mostly... Thank you.
Hunter, Catalina, and Beneteau''''s 28-30'''' or what?
Look for a Pearson 28 or 30.
Hunter, Catalina, and Beneteau''''s 28-30'''' or what?
You might want to look at an allied seawind, a strong capable boat. The older pearson triton another solid boat.
Hunter, Catalina, and Beneteau''''s 28-30'''' or what?
I think hunter is claiming that thier 35 and up boats are offshore certified
Hunter, Catalina, and Beneteau''''s 28-30'''' or what?
54 Attachment(s)
My advice would be to first buy a good quality 23''-25'' and sail it for a year or two - you will learn a lot about what features are important and be better positioned for making and managing a bigger purchase.
In my opinion, Catalina is the Toyota of sailboats, and if that style fits for you, you won''t go wrong if you pay a premium price for a mint-condition boat. Keep away from "price" boats or fixer-uppers, as you haven''t yet the foggiest idea of how incredibly expensive repairs/replacements can be - understand that a "needs work" boat can easily be too expensive even if it were free...
Beneteau is a good quality boat, most models seem to lean towards performance at the cost of comfort - my 1986 First 305E had seven bunks but not one big enough for me (5''10"!) - nice performance but a lousy cruiser.
Many folks see Hunter as an entry level price boat with widely varying quality (between terrible and OK), you might look at:
to see how many mistakes can get packaged into only 28''. While this article slams this particular model, I think many of the issues that it raises are not unusual in other boats, and take experience for the buyer to recognize.
Good luck and happy sailing.
Hunter, Catalina, and Beneteau''''s 28-30'''' or what?
Last year I was looking at many of the same types of boats that you have expressed an interest in considering.
Here are a few of my observations:
- Some of the Catalina''s had the worst layouts / installation of water and fuel tanks. As you look at different boats - ask yourself, how hard would it be to replace the tanks.
- I did not look at older Hunter''s - my experience looking at newer Hunter''s lead me to believe that there might be better quality boats from other vendors...for less money.
- Compared to Catalina''s - I really liked the Ericson''s that I looked at.
- The older Columbia''s I looked at gave me a sense of "solid" hull construction. Nothing too terribly scientific in that analysis - just the feeling of moving about on the boat - and tapping the hulls.
- I have been reading many reviews, ship logs, and books of voyage accounts - also many accounts of retrofits of typical coastal cruisers for doing off-shore work...in that vein, I have been lead to believe that the Cal-25, Cape Dory, Tartan, and Pearson Triton are worth considering.

John from my office asked a good question the other day: why are paper cups so bad?
Actually, no paper cup is particularly bad. Certainly not as bad as a Hummer, or a gallon of corn ethanol to power it, or even the hamburger you eat while driving in the hummer and drinking your Coke.
And actually, probably not as bad as the Coke itself. But why are lowly paper cups so bad?
The first thought is that they are not easily recycled. This is only sort of true; good recycling processes can deal with food and with coatings like wax and plastic added to paper cups. However, most local recycling programs exclude items with food residue because of issues with animals as the recyclables are sitting on the curb, or waiting for processing. So even though most paper cups end up in landfills, let's assume that the paper is recycled.
The real issue here is with one-time use, or disposable products. In the US, we use 130,000,000,000 (yes 130 Billion) disposable cups every year (260B in the world) — yikes! We use them once. They provide value for perhaps 15 minutes, yet they require significant resources to produce, transport, store, and then back again to add to our landfills (or if we're assuming they can be recycled, back to the recycling plant.)
Now consider the Lincoln Memorial. (Editor's Note: What made me think of this as an alternative is beyond any rational discourse — it's just big, yet … enduring). Imagine the ten thousand people every day who visit (granted, many probably holding paper cups in their hands!) gaining value from this. Sure, it's huge and its embedded (or embodied) energy must be huge, too. But it was built 85 years ago, and one would hope will last for centuries. That's a lot of people getting a lot of value over a very long time.
And let's say the visit to the Lincoln Memorial provides the same benefit as the drink in your paper cup (feel free to argue one way or the other on that) — the point is that things that last, and can be used over and over, eventually pay for themselves. A more practical comparison might be a reusable mug vs. a single-use container. I have a plastic cup that I drink water from at work. I got it in 2005, I think. I drink several cups of water a day. You really don't need to do the math.
Our Disposable Culture
Paper cups are only one aspect of our throw-away culture. In my office, I have a graveyard of obsolete technology (iPods, cell phones, dead printers, stereo equipment and other odds and ends). I will find new homes for these, or get them to a Home Depot, or WholeFoods or Staples where they can be properly recycled, but none of these items is more than a few years old.
Our Litany Of Failed Products
We have a blender whose appearance (and cost) suggests very high quality. But the rubber part of its "all metal" drive sheared off. I was able to repair it for a nominal cost (and a less nominal amount of handyman skills). It shouldn't have broken.
Our refrigerator is less than 10 years old and within several years the ice maker broke, and now (inexplicably and unrelated to the ice maker) we find pools of water on the floor.
We had to replace the shower curtain rod we bought a few years ago — it rusted.
Our fancy-pants KitchenAid food processor (which replaced the broken Cuisinart we got as a wedding present) now has a broken bowl and top, both of which can be replaced for a mere $179.
The plastic handle on our toaster fell off, and the LED lights don't work.
The cheap, plastic end-caps on the stove handles have now all broken off … twice. We decided not to replace them a second time. The spout on our sink faucet failed after 6 years; we replaced it for $110.
The switch on our aquarium light failed after 3 weeks. We replaced it with the still-working light from the previous aquarium-top assembly whose plastic hinge broke off.
Our bathroom cabinet was painted with paint that peeled off in high humidity.
We replaced our broken seven-year-old AT&T answering machine and cordless phone with a Uniden alternative; one of the 3 remote handsets was DOA, the rest are cheap, cheap, cheap (and also, use old-fashioned vampire transformers, not switch-mode transformers, thus draw electricity continuously).
We try to buy high quality items. But even when we pay a premium for … something (?), things die an untimely death. Perhaps you recall planned obsolescence which was derided (yet practiced as an art form) when I was a boy. This cost, the cost of junk that is built so cheaply that we have little choice but to chuck it — this is a sign of our throwaway culture.
Products That Last for Generations (Not Just Months)
Yet … we have some furniture in our house that we'll pass down to our children. Indeed, we have furniture, and even rugs, that my Mom gave me.
My wife laughed at me (when I was less enlightened) because I would plunk down several thousand dollars without a second thought for a new computer that would be useless in a couple years, but balk when she wanted to spend the same amount on a lovely table, or chairs, or other furniture or fixture that will live many times longer. (Which should by no means suggest that she doesn't still laugh at me, but just for different things, like obsessive blogging, for example.)
I live in a house that was built 90 years ago. It's not expensive or grand by any means. But with proper care and maintenance, it is now a modern, efficient house.
In the years after college, I started my career as a carpenter, working for builder who built the crap that now passes for housing — everything cheap and fast. I suspect these buildings have not withstood the test of time. Yet I also worked to renovate old houses in Maine — the carpenters there (and the customers) were far more interested in restoring not just the appearance, but the fundamental quality of the buildings. I know (because I see when I visit my parents) that these buildings endure.
Consumption vs. Embodied Energy
I have spent a lot of time and words on this blog talking about consumption: gasoline, electricity, natural gas and other sources of energy consumed as we use a product. However, the energy used to make, transport, dispose of, and even recycle a product is an equally significant component of our overall energy consumption (a.k.a. "footprint").
But everything we buy has embodied energy — the energy required to make it, and even get rid of it. You hear a lot about some things being expensive to make, but not much about most stuff.
Yet those things that are "trivial", like the paper cup, or grocery bag, we use scores of, or hundreds of, or thousands of (and billions of, as a nation) are the silent sucking sound you (don't) hear.

Burn ban Stage 1 is back for King County
Well, it was fun while it lasted. But now a Stage 1 burn ban is back for King County, starting at 4 p.m. on Jan. 18, meaning no fires in wood-burning fireplaces or uncertified wood stoves, and no burning outdoors, including bonfires, campfires, and fires in fire pits. (Including Golden Gardens.)
It is OK to use natural gas, propane, pellet and EPA-certified wood stoves or inserts during a Stage 1 burn ban.
"This weekend we're expecting calm and cold conditions to continue throughout the region, which is why we're issuing a Stage 1 burn ban for King County," said Dr. Phil Swartzendruber, agency forecaster. "In neighborhoods where wood-burning is common, air pollution levels could easily reach the UNHEALTHY FOR SENSITIVE GROUPS category."
We spotted an unattended, unburned Christmas tree today at Golden Gardens today. Looks like it'll have to sit around for a few more days.

Original Texas land grants bearing the signatures of Sam Houston, first President of the Republic of Texas, Mirabeau B. Lamar, the second President of Texas, and Anson Jones the fourth and final President of Texas as well as an original 1852 map of Texas by Eppinger & Baker have been graciously donated to Lamar National Bank by Mrs. Elizabeth and the late Dr. William deG. Hayden.
The pieces were given to Lamar National Bank from the renowned collection of the Elizabeth and William Hayden Museum of Art by Mrs. Hayden noting that they were fitting of the Texas-style décor of the bank and would be on display for the public in a safe environment.
"With much gratitude and humility, we accept these much valued Texas artifacts. They will most certainly be an excellent enhancement to our traditional Texas architecture and interior design," said senior vice president Debbie Lewis.
The land grants were purchased by Dr. Hayden in 1986 for the Hayden Museum of Art. The map was a gift to the Museum given by Mary Ruth Biard whose ancestors were part of the original settlers of this area. Dr. Hayden, a preservationist, collector, visionary, athlete, and caregiver passed away in April of 2010. Upon his death the Museum was closed by his wife, who has worked to insure the curated works have found homes appropriate to their worth for the enjoyment of all.
Pictured accepting one of the Land Grants are Sr. Vice President Debbie Lewis and Greg Wilson of Lamar National Bank, and Mrs. Elizabeth Hayden.

Opening statement...
Swinney: Well, it's an exciting week. Biggest game of the year. Biggest challenge of the year. We will have to play an oustanding game against this crew. Watching them on film, they find a lot of ways to win games. Tough challenge ahead. Offensively, they are big up front. All starts with their center. T.J. is an oustanding player. He sets everything for them. Their quarterback was probably the difference in the game last year. Very good scrambler. Good feel for the pocket. Can make the throws. The thing that worries about you when he scrambles, when guys come out of coverage, he finds them. He's the guy we have to do a much better job of what we did last year.
They've got three wide outs who have gotten better and better. Ace Sanders is electric and has changed a lot of games for them. Same thing for Ellington. They are creative in how they get the ball to them. We've got to do a great job of tackling those guys. 82 is their big tall guy they throw it up to. THe guys you keep seeing they throw to are the tight ends. No. 87 has been a force for them offensively. You better know where he is and do a good job in coverage. When 81 comes in there he's not as big but he's athletic.
Offensively, defensively they are as good as we are going to play. As anybody is going to play.
Their defensivive line is outstanding. Clowney gets all the headlines but those other guys can play. Part of the reason he is so good is because he's a dynamic player, but their players are good. Devin Taylor is like seven feet tall and has been there. No. 70 is a big load inside. Very good front seven. Backers are smart and tackle well. Physical. They challenge you in the secondary. They are a one-safety team. When you go against a one-safety team they challenge you to make plays and you have to make plays.
Their return game has been very very good. Especially the punt return with Ace Sanders. There is tape against good people and they've got him pent up and he gets out of there.
We are a team that's been improving. But we have to put it all together to win this game. It's Thanksgiving and we all have a lot to be thankful for. It's a blessing to be a part of this game and hopefully Saturday night to put our best foot forward.
This is a great opportunity for this state. This game offers more nationally than what it normally does.
How about he intangibles with the coach and his ability to call plays?
Swinney: That's just part of it. That's the result of good coaching. They do a good job. He's proven over many many years to be a good play-caller. Again, they are what they are. They do what they do. We've got 11 games to study. They do too. It comes down to execution. Play calls are good but you got to win matchups. The big thing for us to coach our guys up with discipline.
The biggest difference between last year and this year could be Tajh Boyd. Would you agree with that?
Swinney: Well, we are a better team than we were last year. No question about that. We are a smarter team. When you have a quarterback who is year two of his development you should be better. Our offensive line has improved tremendously throughout the year. We have an oustanding running back. Brandon Ford has stepped in nicely for Dwayne Allen. But Tajh has been the difference for us. He's a much better quarterback than he was last year. He was a good player last year but is a much better quarterback and that's one of the main reasons he is 10-1.
Would you disagree with the notion this year will be viewed as a disappointment if you don't win this game Saturday, even though you've won 10 games already?
Swinney: I think that is sad way to think about things. They have no appreciation for winning or how hard it is to win. It's hard to win 10 ball games. It's hard to do. People who say those things - they don't get it. Yeah- we'd be incredibly disappointed if we lost this game. Your dang right. You live with it all year. Everybody lives with it. Coaches, players and fans. So if we lost all those games and we were 0-11 and we won this game it would be a great year. Nobody is happy unless you win them all. That's our objective. Try and be the best we can be. I just want to play our best game Saturday night and see our guys compete relentlessly.
Will you change things up on special teams this week given last week's struggles?
Swinney: Hopefully we'll do some things better.
Have you matured as a head coach than what you were three years ago?
Swinney: Can't you tell? I was 38 when I took this job and now I'm 43 today. Are you a better reporter now than what you were 10 years ago? I'm more mature and a much better coach just because of experience. I've worked hard at it. I've studied. I'm always trying to improve and I'm never satisfied. When you are through improving your through. I'm 43 years old today and I'm a wiser man today than I was three or four years ago.
What area do you think you have exactly matured at the most?
Swinney: Overall. Just understanding. A lot of my core things are exactly the way they were when I was an assistant. The overall big picture of managing a program and managing people. The way I want to do things. Planning. Organizing and delegating. Certainly not less mature.
Annoyed with how the coach 100 miles down the road has acted recently?
Swinney: This is not about me and coach Spurrier. Some people may want to make it that way. I'm not comfortable with that. I want our guys to play great. But I'm just trying to get a first down Saturday. Coach Spurrier is an interesting guy. I don't really ever have a problem with him. From time to time - I don't think it's personal. He' got a long track record and that's how he is. He likes to stir it up now and then. But I just worry about Clemson. I don't have time to worry about what's going on down there. I'm focused on
What's it like playing this game at home?
Swinney: It's a rivalry game - I think it's always an advantage when you play at Death Valley. Absolutely. When you have a great home environment it's a positive for you.
Spurrier is going for the all-time wins record for a head coach at South Carolina. They've won four straight. Would it make it that much sweeter for to prevent that from happening?
Swinney: All-time wins record? I didn't know that. Little more pressure there, eh? Again, it's not about me. It's not about Coach Spurrier. It's about the game and the players. All I can tell you is that it is important. It's important for us to finish a great season the right way. That's all I can tell you about that.
How bad does this senior class want this game considering they have yet to beat South Carolina?
Swinney: This senior group has accomplished alot of things. A long list of things. A long list. But they have not beaten South Carolina. The list of things they haven't gotten done is very short. That's a big one for them.
Your linebackers are much better this year. What's been the difference?
Swinney: Little different this system. Tig is a fifth-year senior. Shuey is in his fourth year. Quandon is getting up there. We've asked Blanks to do one thing specifically and he's done a good job. we are not quite as complex as we were last year. That's helped us, especially with the youth up front. Good competition. We are much better
What's your take on Maryland?
Swinney: Really don't have a lot of comment on it. Caught me off guard but not a shocker. Who knows anymore in college football? I just keep my head down and I'm trying to get a first down against South Carolina. If we can get two that would be progress. Try not to kick it to No. 1. Not shocked but I don't get too caught up in it. Try to do my job and make it the best program this can be.
Are you amazed at how Tajh doesn't get the national respect he deserves?
Swinney: Yeah. I don't know what's wrong with all of y'all. I don't know of a quarteback in the country playing better than Tajh Boyd. I know who they are. I can't imagine a player who means more to this team than this guy. He's accounted for 41 touchdowns. We are a 10-1 football team. I see some of the guys they talk about it and I'm like wow. I wouldn't trade my guy for any of them. Maybe they'll figure it out one of these days. He's a winner. Bottom line. Winner in high school and winner here. Fun to be around. Always has a smile on his face. We've just gotten used to it. 20 yard stop route on a rope? No problem. He's a special player. Really is. He'll get his time.
Will a win over South Carolina give him that exposure?
Swinney: I don't know. He's done some things all year that are mind-boggling to me. He's still kind of over-looked a little bit. But he doesn't care. He knows what he's doing. The more he wins the more people will take notice. He played great down there in Tallahassee. Big win and a great performance by him would enhance his national exposure.
With regards to the ACC's stature right now - what are your thoughts on two loss teams ahead of
Swinney: I think that's ridiculous. I couldn't have said that at the beginning of the year. Where we are right now we can play with anybody. I'd love to play Notre Dame. I'd LOVE to play Notre Dame. This team right now is at the point where we are goo enough to play with anybody. This team has improved. This team has played with great effort, passion and togetherness. They are as good as anybody out there. I'm proud of our team. I don't think teams with two losses should be in front of Clemson and Florida State. Some of that is perception and some of that is because the teams you've played haven't had great years. I know if we finish strong and Florida State finishes strong we'll be fine. And if we continue to put consistency together as a program, we'll change he perception. We are kind of the old kid coming back to the block. I think I voted us fifth or sixth this week. That's where we should be. If we can finish as a program, we'll be relavent.
How important has Jonathan Meeks been to your program?
Swinney: Meeks has had a good year. Last week wasn't his best performance but he's had a heckuva year. He's going to be a good pro. Lot of fun to coach. Meeks was my first recruit. We'll always have that bond.
What has Dalton Freeman meant to your program?
Swinney: He's like the 10th coach on the staff. Great player. He's off the charts. His intangibles. His will to win. His character. His toughness. His football IQ. Great family. He was a cornerstone to our program. He was one of those guys as a redshirt freshman when I took over. And he's probably thinking to himself, what have I gotten myself into? And now he leaves as a player who is part of a senior class who has won more conference games than any other one in Clemson history.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
I would add that it would depend on a few other points as well. Are you talking about oil on the threads of the plugs or on the electrodes? What kind of oil are you using? You should not be using a synthetic oil yet. I would suggest a good 30 weight sulphur based oil for the first 2000 miles. Change the oil and filter immediately after the cam break-in and again around 100 miles, 500 miles, 1000 miles and then every 3000 miles. You can safely use a synthetic oil after about 2000 miles.
As to the intake gaskets being sealed. They are either sealed at installation or not. They do not take run time to seal. I have seen where the intake and heads do not line up very well (caused by machining of the block / heads or poor manufacturing of the intake) and then there can be a lack of sealing between them from the lifter valley area. This can enable oil to be sucked into the cylinders causing oil fowling/burning. Use of good gaskets and a small amount of RTV on the lower edge of the gaskets and around the water port sections of the gasket can eliminate this leakage if the mis-alignment is minor.
timing cover
My timing cover is an aftermarket and yes it is off to the side. Don't make sense to me why they would do such a thing when the orig. was in the center. Appreciate the help
thanks Frisco, That is exactly what i needed to know. It fired up tonight. Got another Q. for you if you don't mind. What would make the spark plugs have oil on them when you pull them out and look. Do you think my intake gaskets haven't sealed yet? Definetly appreciate the other answer.
You have the distributor 180 degrees out.
When you bump the engine over and see the dots no longer lined up that is because this is when the #1 piston is ready to fire.
Lining the dots up is for the cam installation not for setting the distributor.
I'm not sure that I have explained this clearly. Try this.
Remove the #1 sparkplug. Disable the ignition so that the engine will not start. Place you finger (or a piece of tissue paper) over the #1 spark plug hole. Bump the engine over slowly until the paper blows out or your finger gets pushed away because of the engine compression. Stop at this point. Look at the timing pointer and timing mark. They should be very close to being lined up. Now re-install the distributor so that the rotor is pointing to the post on the cap where the #1 spark plug wire is located. Replace the sparkplug. Enable the ignition. Start the engine and set the timing with a good timing light. Be sure to dis-connect and plug the vacuum advance hose when setting the timing. Re-connect it after the timing has been set.
|did you happen to change harmonic balancers or timing chain covers while building the motor. I had this happen to me last year and it just about drove me crazy. The older 305's timing mark is in the center of the timing cover and on newer models its off to the side. I had an aftermarket timing cover with the tab on the side and an older balancer which would have matched up with the older style timing covers. I was off one wire b/c of this. Run that through your head and think about what you are working with.
Doc here,
Number 1 cylinder TDC, compression, Timing marks aligned, --->Both intake and exhaust valves closed <----, no pressure on the lifters (not too much slack either..) ---->If you can't co~ordinate these, you have timing chain/gear issues..<----
Drop the dizzy in, and watch the rotor, It will advance clockwise a bit, this is because the gear teeth are diagonal cut, It will go about a tower in a half in some cases..Note the amount of change and then withdraw the dizzy.
Line the oil pump shaft up to that location with a large screw driver, and reset the dizzy, for number one plug tower, allowing for advancing as the gears seat..
The easy way to do this is make magic marker lines on the base of the dizzy, for exact #1 plug tower, and the difference of rotor movement as it seats..due to the cut of the gears..(I.E...#1 and the amount of distance BACK required to make it sit on #1 plug tower when bottomed out..)
#1 plug tower in the stock location for SBC's is 5 to 7 O'clock, (depends on year, and obstructions) 7 is usually good.
Direction of rotation is clockwise.
The F.O. is 1 8 4 3 6 5 7 2..
Put on your hold down just tight enough to hold it but enough to forcibly move it by hand, and start it up..set your static and total timing..
Static 10 to 12 is a good starting point advance defeated and vacuum line plugged.
Total around 34 to 36 is usual on a stocker with advance hooked back up..
Tighten down the hold down, set your idle for 650 Manual trans, 950 Automatic, and drive it .. hammer it on the freeway, If it pings or runs hotter than usual, retard it a few degrees..If it dogs, advance it..Try also lugging it up a steep hill highest gear as slow as it will pull, If it pings check the timing again.
That's it.
|Alf P
|I can't tell you why the dots are changing positions but i might be able to help you on something else. when you drop in the distributor bring #1 to TDC, then point the rotor (the flat part not the springy part) at number #1 on the cap, not to the number one cylinder.
Help on a 305's timing
I am rebuilding my 305 and the timing is killing me. I have the #1 piston up on the compression stroke. The dots on crank (up) and cam (down) are lined up. rotor button is facing the #1 spark plug and then I started my firing order. When I try to start it up, it blows out the carb like its 180 deg. out on the timing. I bumped the motor till I got the #1 on compression stroke again and the dots changed crank (up) and the cam (up). WHY????????
please if anyone has the answer I need it bad. Been dealing with this problem for about 4 weeks now. Thanks

DAMASCUS – Troops overran a rebel town and were locked in a second day of fierce clashes around Damascus on Thursday, and Islamic states urged Syria's regime and its foes to hold "serious" talks to end the bloodshed.
Opposition leader Ahmed Mouaz al-Khatib has offered to hold peace talks with Syrian Vice President Farouk al-Sharaa, but Damascus has so far ignored the initiative and intensified attacks on rebel bastions.
U.S. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, meanwhile, admitted for the first time that the Pentagon had backed proposals to arm the rebels, but the White House rejected the idea on fears of the risks involved, the New York Times reported.
After a 16-day onslaught, proregime troops retook Karnaz on the strategic Damascus-Aleppo highway, said Rami Abdel Rahman of the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights. The outgunned rebel "fighters withdrew from Karnaz, which they seized in December last year, after heavy fighting and regular forces regained control," he said
Clashes and heavy shelling rocked rebel strongholds around Damascus on the second day of an army offensive that the observatory said killed at least 64 people Wednesday.
Mortar rounds killed six civilians in the northeastern district of Qaboon, among at least 92 people who died in nationwide violence Thursday, according to a preliminary death toll from the watchdog.
At the end of a two-day summit in Cairo, the 57-member Organization of Islamic Cooperation called for "serious dialogue" between the rebel coalition and regime officials open to political change and without blood on their hands, issuing a final declaration saying that "the Syrian government is primarily responsible for the violence," and urging the U.N. Security Council to "assume its responsibilities to end the violence and bloodshed."
Iran had "reservations about a passage or two" in the statement on Syria, departing OIC chief Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu said. Iraq and Lebanon also expressed reservations about the text, according to a source close to delegates.
Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi said he discussed a "general framework" on ways to resolve the conflict with Turkey and Iran on the sidelines of the summit.
"The foreign ministers are working on transforming this general framework into principles and measures" to be announced "in the coming days within an Arab, Islamic and international framework," he said.
The summit was held in the absence of Syria, which the OIC suspended in August over the regime's bloody crackdown on protests for democracy.

The Vikings quarterback wore the device during Thursday's practice to protect the sprained medial collateral ligament he suffered in his right knee on Aug. 16 at Baltimore.
"I don't want to wear it, but if I have to I will," Jackson said. "It's not to the point where I'm trying to go out here in practice and not wear it; it's the point where if I feel comfortable not wearing it I won't wear it. It's not me trying to politic not to wear it or them trying to get me to wear it. It's just the point of me feeling comfortable."
Jackson, entering his second season as the Vikings starter, said he feels far more comfortable in the role than he did a year ago. He went 8-4 as the Vikings starter in 2007 but missed four games because of injuries. He also threw three more interceptions than touchdowns (12-9) and had a subpar completion percentage (58.2) and passer rating (70.8).
"It's a big difference (this season). I feel a lot more comfortable," Jackson said. "I've been through this before. I'm going into my third year. I know what to expect out of my teammates, my coaches, out of you all, everybody. So I am very confident. It's to the point now that I pretty much know what is going to happen just by going out there and preparing well."
Jackson was not able to play in either game against the Packers in 2007. His last start against the Packers came in the second-to-last game of the 2006 season at Lambeau Field.
Jackson was making his first NFL start and it showed. He completed 10 of 20 passes for 50 yards with an interception in a 9-7 loss. Then last season, Jackson watched from the bench as the Vikings lost 34-0 at Lambeau.
"It was a bad situation," Jackson said of the latest defeat. "We thought we were ready to play, but we didn't come out and play as well as we thought (we should have). Like Coach (Brad) Childress mentioned earlier this week, the last two times we played at Lambeau, we haven't scored a point on offense. So we want to get out of that mode. We want to score some points, of course, and move the ball a little bit better."

Karin Foundation is a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit with a governing board comprised of volunteers dedicated to bring education to Somali youth. The founders are Somali-Americans who understand the dire need first hand. They were fortunate enough to escape the cycle of poverty in Somalia and now give their time to ensure that 100% of all proceeds go directly toward the development and operations of schools that Karin Foundation supports. Karin Foundation pays zero executive management salaries.
Karin means "roots" in Somali, and that is what the Karin Foundation is working toward. We provide financial assistance to local educational programs so underprivileged school-aged boys and girls have the opportunity to sink their roots into life-changing knowledge.
Educational Crises, Generations without Hope – Somali children have grown up knowing only a war-torn society that lacks infrastructure and public institutions such as local schools. A recent study indicated that only 42% of primary school age children are enrolled in school,* and less than 8% of secondary school-age children attend school.** Sadly, of those who do attend school, only 36% are female.***
Our Vision – Karin Foundation is determined to be part of the academic solution for many Somali youth. For most families, only one child per generation gets the chance to pursue education opportunity. Whether reducing illiteracy rates in the nomadic villages or educating the next engineer at Burao Academy of Science and Technology, Karin Foundation supports initiatives that are knowledge based and results oriented.
We envision communities in which every child has the chance to read and write without having to remain in perpetual poverty.

The Essay is a daily personal piece submitted by a reader. Have a story to tell? See our guidelines at tgam.ca/essayguide.
I stand beside Princess Margaret Hospital clutching a carrot. Foot traffic parts and closes around me, sliding along with mindless ease.
I'm about to drag a vegetable on a leash through downtown Toronto during rush hour – without flinching, without joking, without any friends around to temper the blow of looking like a freak in front of strangers.
This is "shame attacking," an exercise designed to curb social anxiety.
Normally, something like this would send me into a bout of panic. But four days ago someone I was dating told me he was seeing someone else. My heart hurts with an unrivalled fierceness. I need to experience an emotion that isn't sadness, and abject embarrassment might be the way to go.
I'm doing Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy, founded by psychologist Albert Ellis. It's based on the idea that people's "irrational interpretations of their experiences, not the experiences themselves, cause their negative emotions."
Ellis had a sense of humour when setting out REBT's definitions and practices. He used the term "musturbating" for the belief that a person must act in a specific way to be happy; "awfulizing" for the mental exaggeration of upsets; and "shame attacking" for making a person act a certain way in public to learn to accept the social discomfort.
In New York, near the Albert Ellis Institute, you can see people leading bananas up and down subway cars.
I've been seeing psychologists off and on since I was 17. In high school, my anxiety stemmed from schoolwork. Almost 10 years later, the worries are more nuanced. It's difficult to explain how excruciating this spectrum of anxiety feels.
Having lived in Kingston and Vancouver for two university degrees, I found that moving home to Toronto increased it to a point where I couldn't even go out with friends without my mind going toothy and wild.
Dating was even more of a challenge. I'd fret about every possible scenario: "What if the bar I choose is too busy and we can't get a seat?" "What if I order the same drink as him and he thinks I'm clingy?"
My brain was so full it was heavy. Waking up every morning, I felt I had to tear through a thick membrane, like a bird gnawing its way out of an egg, just to function at a basic level.
Surprisingly, there is release in sadness. Four days of feeling loss has sloughed away some anxiety. If I get teary on the subway or in yoga class, my mortification isn't as dire as it once was. I might be ready to walk a banana.
But my bananas are too far along. I'm worried someone will tread on it and I'll be left dragging a browned skin like a piece of road kill. I need a hardier substitute, something that can withstand city pavement but still make me look completely insane. A carrot.
On a side street, I take it out of the plastic bag and hold it in my left hand, spooling the string around my right. I feel like crying. There's a deep, muscular panic in my gut. All instincts are telling me not to do this.
I take a trembly breath. I drop the carrot. And I start walking.
There are Internet discussion boards offering REBT support. People exchange ideas for new embarrassing assignments, post results, encourage each other. The messages are raw. "I will feel destroyed," one poster says. Another worries about being called "a creep, a weirdo."
Many of the tasks posted seem mundane – repeatedly asking a grocery clerk where an item is, or yawning loudly in front of people, for example. And yet they launch these worriers into a hurricane of nerves.
But as posters complete these exercises, a slow but certain release is documented. People laugh at themselves. "I found myself having a good time," writes one. "Sometimes being rude is pretty good fun."
As for me, I've never experienced anxiety like this. The intensity frightens me. The panic is febrile and tangible, raising my pulse. My palms are wet, my vision silvered. I didn't realize how much value I place on other people's opinions.
As I walk, I have to stop myself from laughing, a reaction I identify as a way to prevent myself from spiralling into utter fear.
I have to cross a busy four-way stop to mail a letter. There are cars three-deep on every side – a lot of witnesses. The carrot tangles around my ankles, and I have to pull it up as I open the mailbox.
When I look up, I'm alongside one of the drivers. I can't help but glance at him. He's bug-eyed, and drives away before I let the letter slot clang shut. For a moment, I'm so mortified I can't move. "He saw me," I think. "He judged me."
But no one else has stopped to stare. No one has called out, "Miss, there's a carrot following you!" As I cross a parkette, the terror starts to dissipate. Maybe people think it's performance art. Maybe people do think I'm insane. Regardless, what I perceived to be cataclysmic is apparently not. I feel embarrassed, but I'm not evaporating, not so humiliated I can't cross a street.
This hasn't radically transformed me into a woman who doesn't care what others think. But when things scare me now, I tell myself, "I can probably do that." After all, I walked a carrot.

Whew! It's getting almost too busy to blog already this early in the year...
Ok, my thoughts on Virtual economies affecting the real world is already starting to happen...
CNet had an article on Julian Dibbell's stance on Are Virtual Assets Taxable?" brings a real question to the face of the Internal Revenue Service, the US authority that taxes everyone (even people who don't live in the US).
Julian's story is on his virtual world of Ultima Online which coincidentally was one of the first graphical MMORPGs I used to play years ago. I spent many hours of my childhood playing the single-player Ultima games, so UO was a godsend.
In any case, the same problem exists as I mentioned before, in most if not all virtual worlds, such assets can be freely created and there is no hard limit to resources. This makes it easy to keep increasing the amout of "space" and "stuff" that's all around you. Continue to sell that virtual stuff for real money essentially amounts to devaluing real dollars.
Everyone considered it an amusing diversion but chuckled because "how many players can there be actually doing that?" According to the CNet article the combined number of players already ranks in the millions and the combined asset value (in terms of fair market value) could be in tens or hundreds of millions.
If you consider the number of online gamers is simply increasing as well as the number of titles, then the possibility for continual growth in that combined asset value is also real. How long before it really matters? Does it matter when that value is in the hundreds of millions now or soon? How about in the billions? Still no? How about in the trillions? Yes, or do you still think it just ridiculous?
This brings up another point in that there are still a limited number of human players. Possibly, but the ability to create in game bots to play for you is becoming more and more intelligent. Just the same, consider those bots, familiars, servants, etc. that are collecting assets for your main character. Now it becomes easier for a (really dedicated) person to amass assets at a faster rate.

Residents, County Officials Vent Frustrations at Bradford County Delegation Meeting
Bradford County residents -- including the sheriff, the supervisor of elections, and the school superintendent -- had the chance to vent today at the annual Bradford County Legislative Delegation public hearing.
Among issues discussed were concerns over redistricting and the growing power of police unions.
Bradford County School Superintendent, Beth Moore, said that for two years she had been battling the city of Starke over utility rates. She said the schools in Starke pay a higher rate than schools outside of city limits.
No city commissioners were at the meeting to respond, much to the chagrin of State Rep. Charles Van Zant, who chaired the delegation.
The delegation passed a resolution to have the city of Starke audited for the past three years.
Van Zant said there have been previous efforts to audit the city, but they have failed.

I never even heard of toad in the hole as a child. I may have heard it referred to but I always thought that it referred to Toad of Toad Hall of The Wind in the Willows. I was quite surprised to discover it was a joyous and simple concoction of sausages roasted in Yorkshire batter. Delicious!
This is super easy to prepare at home and I am sharing the recipe with you today very quickly, because I really think you need to make it. I have also made this with the cocktail cooking chorizo sausages from Brindisa in a muffin tray. They were so cute I half wanted to tuck them up in bed instead of eating them.
For this, I used common or garden proper pork sausages. That taste of pork and just that. I am not liking the trend of sticking all types of things in sausages. Some things are best left simple (unless they are very good and then I am ok with that).
This makes enough for 2 with 2 sausages each. Or if cooking for 1 as I was, enough for 1 and a big Yorkshire pudding for later. I often cook for 1, and it upsets me that people think it is pointless to do so. We should all cook for ourselves and take pleasure in it.
RECIPE: Toad in the Hole
serves 1
1 egg
50g plain flour, sifted
pinch of salt
150ml whole milk
2 sausages
one small tray that will accomodate two sausages and wiggle room
flavourless oil or – indulgently – duck fat
Whisk together the salt, egg, milk and flour until there is no lumps and leave aside for an hour.
Preheat your oven to 200 deg C and lightly roast the sausages in a little oil / fat until they are starting to brown.
Remove the sausages and add more fat, it should cover the whole of the bottom of the pan (or you won't get a nice crisp bottom). Heat in the oven then add the sausages and pour in the batter until it comes half way up the sausages. Put the leftover batter in another small tin with fat to cook a Yorkshire pudding. Or make a second one.
Roast for 20 minutes, in white time the pastry will puff up and crisp.
Eat with gravy and lots of it.

text: The Flavor is like your best friend: You can do anything with it and take it anywhere you want! The forgiving Flat Rocker Shape, with its softer flex, guarantees a playful board feeling and makes learning the right technique a piece of cake. However, you can also rely on the Flavor when it comes to icy slopes and powerful carves, as the directional sidecut offers excellent edge hold. Thanks to rocker in the nose and tail the board easily surfs through powder, allowing for a trouble-free and long-lasting off-piste experience. Even steep t-bar lines lose their sting, as the partial Grip-Lacquer offers the same grip a stomp pad does. The Slim-Tip Construction not only makes the Flavor look extremely good but also makes it easier to handle thanks to its lower weight. The Flavor is more than just a beginner's board, it's a solid foundation for years to come!

Yeap. Some authors has asked to bring it back. No luck. I found it quite useful. If i'm not wrong i think the reason was that it was taken very low clicks from final users. But i think it's pretty much more useful for us, authors.

Just wanted to remind everyone Valentines is on the 14th thats next monday guys. Dont want anyone to get in trouble with the wives and not be able to get on here
Here are some interesting facts for you all.
A successful man is one who makes more money than his wife can spend.
A successful woman is one who can find such a man.
Before marriage, a man yearns for the woman he loves.
After marriage, the "y" becomes silent.
When a newly married couple smiles, everyone knows why.
When a ten-year married couple smiles, everyone wonders why.
My wife told me I should be more affectionate.
So I got two girlfriends.
A husband said to his wife, "No, I don't hate your relatives. In fact, I like your mother-in-law better than I like mine."
A man meets a genie. The genie tells him he can have whatever he wants provided that his mother-in-law gets double. The man thinks for a moment and then says, "OK, give me a million dollars and beat me half to death."
The honeymoon is over when the husband calls home to say he'll be late for dinner and the answering machine says it is in the microwave.
Men who have pierced ears are better prepared for marriage.
They've experienced pain and bought jewelry.
How do most men define marriage? A very expensive way to get your laundry done.
A little boy asked his father, "Daddy, how much does it cost to get married?" And the father replied, "I don't know, son, I'm still paying for it."
A couple was having a discussion about family finances. Finally the husband exploded, "If it weren't for my money, the house wouldn't be here!" The wife replied, "My dear, if it weren't for your money, I wouldn't be here."
A man said his credit card was stolen but he decided not to report it because the thief was spending less than his wife did.
Love is blind but marriage is an eye-opener.
The most effective way to remember your wife's birthday is to forget it once.
Cosmetics: A woman's way of keeping a man from reading between the lines.
Words to live by: Do not argue with a spouse who is packing your parachute
Boring husband: Honey, why are you wearing your wedding ring on the wrong finger?
Bored wife: Because I married the wrong man!
First Guy (proudly): "My wife's an angel!"
Second Guy: "You're lucky, mine's still alive."
Marriage is grand -- and divorce is at least 100 grand.
Married life is very frustrating. In the first year of marriage, the man speaks and the woman listens. In the second year, the woman speaks and the man listens. In the third year, they both speak and the neighbors listen.
When a man opens the door of his car for his wife, you can be sure of one thing: either the car is new or the wife.
Before marriage, a man will lie awake all night thinking about something you say. After marriage, he will fall asleep before you finish.
Bachelors should pay more taxes, they enjoy a better quality of life.

There is a conference taking place in Switzerland which is attended by several nations, and it includes representatives from rebel forces fighting in Syria as well as the Foreign Minister of that nation, walid Moualem who is fighting mad. He arrived ready to talk with someone, or should we say, ready to tell someone why they are terrorists for fighting against President Bashar Assad, friend of the poor, friend of those in need of freedom. After three days at this UN sponsored meeting, both sides finally agreed "to meet in the same room." OK, we have now overcome the first hurdle, both sides will be in the same room and thus able to talk with one another. Of course, these words are merely an assumption as to what MIGHT happen.
Lakhdar Brahimi, the Algerian mediator who is in charge of actually moving both parties from sitting and glaring at one another to engaging in conversations. His real problem is persuading both sides to recognize "what is at stake, the country is in bad shape."
The real dilemma is that rebels are NOT going to emerge with the end of President Assad. Frankly, the best they can achieve is to have guarantees that at some point in X number of years, Assad will step down. Sorry, that is the best that can be achieved.

I'm new to this forum and I'm in the market to buy a 9mm (more than likely). I like the fact that the ammo is cheap and I can hit up the shooting range without killing my wallet.
I'm torn between the g17 and g19. I'm 6'3", 220 LBS, and have a pretty big hand. And last week I completed the basic hand gun course (have fired a few times before). Anyhow, I had the g19 which is obviously smaller than the g17.
I know the advantages that the g19 is more concealable however I live in CA and a CCW is for one, difficult to obtain (and I don't have a reason for it anyhow).
Does the g17 have better accuracy due to the barrel length? Would the g17 be better for me due to my hand size?
Should I be looking another gun? My other interest were a Beretta, and I still havent tried a Sig Sauer.
I'm looking to buy something before the years end, if not sooner. SO any help would be greatly appreciated!

Recipe: Kurt Timmermeister's Black Pepper Crackers
2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1 tablespoon baking powder 2 teaspoons coarse salt, plus more for sprinkling
2 tablespoons butter or lard 12 tablespoons cold water or milk
Freshly ground black pepper for garnish
Sift the flour with the baking powder and salt into the bowl of a food processor. Quickly pulse to mix the dry ingredients.
Add the butter or lard and pulse until the fat is well distributed. While the processor is running, add the cold water or milk tablespoon by tablespoon until the dough just begins to come together—approximately twelve tablespoons.
Stop the processor, and collect the dough into a ball by hand.
Wrap the dough with plastic wrap and let rest for at least two hours at room temperature, or refrigerate overnight.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Unwrap and roll out with a pasta sheeter until the second to the last setting, using just enough flour to prevent sticking.
Cut the dough into desired shapes with a pizza cutter, prick with a fork and gently lay onto unlined baking sheets.
Sprinkle with salt and pepper as desired. Bake at 350 degrees until golden.
Yield: up to 100 1-by-6-inch crackers, depending on thickness

The Petit Le Mans (French for little Le Mans) is a sports car endurance race held annually at Road Atlanta in Braselton, Georgia, USA. It uses the rules established for the 24 hours of Le Mans by the Automobile Club de l'Ouest (ACO), which are slightly modified if necessary, mainly to allow additional cars to compete.
The race was founded by Road Atlanta owner Don Panoz and first run on October 10, 1998 as part of the IMSA season. The 1999 edition was one of the original events of the American Le Mans Series. This year will mark the 2nd Annual Intercontinental Le Mans Cup, which
connects the races in North America, Europe and Asia.
The Petit Le Mans covers a maximum of 1,000 miles (1,600 km) (which is approximately 394 laps) or a maximum of 10 hours, whichever comes first; only once, in the rain-stopped 2009 race, has the leading team failed to complete 1,000 miles (1,600 km). In addition to the overall race, teams of two or three drivers per car compete for class victories in four different classes of cars, two for Le Mans prototypes and two for grand tourer cars. Class winners of this event receive an automatic invitation to the following year's 24 Hours of Le Mans.
We would like to thank our sponsors for making this possible.

Recap | Box Score | Photo Gallery
Tennessee Head Coach Pat Summitt
(opening remarks) "I thought overall, our offensive execution was better. I'm never satisfied. I was not as impressed with our defense. On the positive end, I thought Nicky Anosike defended well off the bench. She and Alexis Hornbuckle-those two freshmen brought a lot of energy off the bench."
"(George Washington) switched defenses on us constantly. Sometimes, we were going man against their zone or zone against their man. If we weren't sure what defense they were in, we said to just run our motion offense. They disguise their defense. We said, 'Let's just attack in whatever defense they're in.' We're comfortable with it (motion offense). Our freshmen ran it in the fall."
(on the play of junior guard Shanna Zolman) "Shanna is one of our most improved players. She's gotten better off the dribble. Shanna said, 'Coach, I'm one of the best free throw shooters in the nation. I need to be getting to the line more.' That mentality has inspired her. She has definitely expanded her offensive game. She's more than a catch-and-shoot player now, and that's good for us."
(on the play of junior post Tye'sha Fluker) "In our first two games, Tye'sha was 3-of-16 from the floor. Looking at the tape, at least 12 of those she got great looks. It was just a matter of time. She spent some extra time with Coach (Dean) Lockwood today, and that carried over on the court. She's in a new role. She knew that she needed to step up. She did better tonight. She got great position and didn't rush. She knows that she needs to be an anchor for us inside."
(on the play of George Washington senior forward Anna Montañana) "She's a great talent, a great player. Catch-and-shoot is her strength. She's a tough-minded player. I thought (Nicky) Anosike did a good job defending her. For that team (George Washington), she is a key, key player."
(on the play of freshman guard Alexis Hornbuckle) "When she comes in, she brings energy. She generates action. Good things happen when she is on the floor. She is very gifted. There was one time that I thought she should have passed to Shanna Zolman, but she's explosive enough to get to the basket. She split the defense and got the lay-up."
"I wanted to get playing time for some of our players tonight. Sybil Dosty has been out after suffering a concussion, and she got some minutes tonight. Dominique Redding didn't get a lot of minutes as a freshman, and tonight's game allowed her to show what she can do and gain some confidence."
"There's always something to fret about. I thought we had good passing. That indicates that we're an unselfish team. We want to get a lot better. This team plays together at both ends, and that's encouraging."
(on the play of senior forward Brittany Jackson) "Brittany has made it a priority to be a defensive player. In the North Carolina State game, she had a solid defensive game. She has gained confidence (in her defense), and I have gained confidence in her. There has never been a question about her ability on the defensive end. That will help the team a lot."
(on what the difference was with the Tennessee offense this time out) "We moved. (laughter) We executed a lot better tonight. There was still a lot of standing, but we concentrated on communicating. Coach has talked to me about being more aggressive off the bench and not just spotting up in order to draw fouls. I need to create more off the dribble, whether slashing to the middle or moving on the perimeter."
"Everybody likes to play. That was great to give us experience. Against tougher competition, we'll need our bench. In games like these, we're able to get experience and develop chemistry no matter what combination we use."
(on upcoming game against Texas) "I've never beat Texas. I've never wanted a game more than this one, other than UConn. They're a great team. They will have a lot of incentive to play hard. It will be a hostile environment. It's going to be exciting."
"Our guards were a lot bigger than theirs. They were smaller than we were. Size helps out a lot."
"I was ready to help. I was ready to come off the bench and give the same kind of energy as our starters. I got to the boards. I was pumped up."
(on the home opener) "The atmosphere was great. The student section was full. I was so excited, I was ready to run up and down the court."
George Washington Head Coach Joe McKeown
"Today we started two freshmen guards and this was a tough environment to put them in. I knew we couldn't get behind by too much where we couldn't score enough points to come back. Most of our wounds were self-inflicted, but some of that is Tennessee and the environment, forcing us to play out of our comfort zone, which is good for us. They just come at you in waves and are physical. We're just not that deep.
"Last year, our match-up zone hurt them, but they shoot the ball so much better this year.
"I hadn't seen (Tye'sha) Fluker play as well as she did tonight.
"Maybe the arrival of some of their freshmen sent the message to other players that they need to step their game up."
