Groupon: Scourge Or Phenom? Our Vote: Phenom. Here's Why…
Posted by Sucharita Mulpuru on October 5, 2010
A Rice University faculty member just published a study on how effective merchants find Groupon. To Groupon critics, it was honey because a whooping 40% of participants wouldn't repeat the experience.
But here's the catch and why I'm still a huge proponent of the "group buying" model that encompasses Living Social, Buy With Me, Tippr and now the Yellow Pages and local radio stations and newspapers too: most of that 40% thought the Groupon customers were cheap and tipped badly.
If that's the worst of the problems, this model may actually be worth much more than the billion-dollar valuations already placed on the space. Here's why. First, businesses like restaurants can prepopulate the "tip" field. I went to a restaurant in Charlotte called Zebra which has done multiple group buying offers and they include a 15% gratuity in the bill. Any business not already doing that could and should be. Second, and more powerful, is that the group sites could capture information on who is a good and bad customer from the merchant. Every redemption has a unique code associated with it (see image). None of the group buying sites are doing that now and merchants, at least according to the few that I've interviews, are keeping track of redemptions in rudimentary excel spreadsheets. The first company to provide a merchant tool that allows the flagging of particularly good and egregiously bad customers will be the winner in this space. By eliminating the "bad" customers from the offer, a merchant is much more likely to experience profitability or service issues that strain these small businesses.
There's a lot of information about the individuals that the group buying sites are claiming is so important—their zip code, their mailing addresses, their preferences based on what they buy. What they're missing is the single-most valuable piece of information that can drive a successful Groupon for their customers—whether or not that customer is a good one.

That's a great article! I agree with you that ......a company to provide a merchant tool that allows the flagging of particularly good and egregiously bad customers will be the winner in this space. This is what grouponers.com is trying to do. I think......... They are under development...only time will tell. dc

Roofing question.
Recently received high winds and ping pong ball sized hail. We had damage to the home siding holes and dents etc. I called 3 contractors to look at the damage and provide estimates to turn into insurance..
Contractor #1 told me the shigles on my home were certainteed horizon, these shingles are currently the subject of a law suit. Anyway the contractor recommended an entire roof replacement siting hail strikes and wind damaged shingles.
Contractor #2 Told me a similar story as the first contractor, the roof is damaged beyond repair and a replacement is necessary.
Contractor # 3 has been on the roof and has concluded that replacement is also the best case for the home.
We liked contractor # 2 he is the most local and seemed to be the most knowledgeable and likeable.
Our situation is this: the insurance company sent out the adjuster and the adjuster concluded that the roof is not damaged enough to warrant replacement and recommends that 80 shingles be replaced.
Contractor #2 met with the adjuster and exclaimed that he is not comfortable replacing shingles, and thus wont be able to warranty his work.
I spoke to the agent about the impass, he sent an e-mail to the head office of the insurance company. The Insurance company hired a structural engineer to assess the roof. The engineer of coarse sided with the adjuster.
My question(s) after all this is: 1. Can individual shingles be taken out and replaced without causing further damage?
2. If the Certainteed shingles are no longer available(pulled from the market) will we be able to reasonably match the current color with another brand?
3. Should I insist the insurance company replace the entire roof. The home was built in March 2003
Now since we are somewhat in limbo figuring out what to do, we have spotted 4 seperate water spots on our ceiling since the storm 6 weeks ago.
I have notified the insurance company of these spots, they are supposed to send someone out, its been 8 days and no calls about setting up a time to see the water spots.
I'm frustrated that the people all around me have each gotten a new roof, paid for by their insurance companies, and I have been told no.
What to do next , any advice would be appreciated.
This is my first ever claim, auto, home or anything.
It is not unusual for three contractors to tell you that you need a new roof. They make their living putting roofs on. Nobody wants to do a small (80 shingle) replacement. That is not a great money maker. Since the insurance company found an engineer to make a report, you will have a hard time competing with that. You can hire your own engineer, but you will pay a few hundred bucks, with no guarantee of satisfaction. Some insurance companies are tougher than others. The tougher companies also offer the best rates. There is lies the correlation. As for the water spots, a few shingles off the roof will generally not cause the roof to leak.
To your other question, yes, shingles can be toothed in successfully as long as the other shingles are in decent shape. On an 8 year old roof like yours, I think it will work. As far as the match goes, most times it will not be a 100% match. If all the damage is confined to one area, then perhaps all the shingles in that area can be replaced to give you a better match. Many times when dealing with insurance, the squeaky wheel gets the grease. If you are confident with your assessment, then by all means keep after them and see if they will agree to cover more of the damage. Keep track off all of the correspondence with the insurance company, engineer, roofing contractors, etc.
Horizon shingles have been off the market (at least in my area) for a couple of years. No other company (to my knowledge) made anything that looks like the Horizon. So, unless you can find some old inventory laying around somewhere (80 shingles would require at least 4 bundles), there's no chance of matching the existing.
All that being said, if the proper shingles were available, it is possible to remove and replace individual shingles.
Is all the damage on one plane of the roof?
An answer to your question is one I unfortunately was not privvy to. The meeting with the adjuster contractor and engineer were conducted without my prior knowledge.
My adjuster should have contacted me with times and dates of any meetings in regard to my claim.
Yet I was not contacted and have learned the information above from my contractor, many hours later. I was not happy having been left out of this process and should have been given an opportunity to attend the meetings to ask questions, hear the assessment first hand straight from the adjuster.
This is a bone of contention I have with the very poorly conducted process.
I feel I should have been the first person contacted and kept in the loop on meetings conducted.
So, I don't know the answer to your question.
If the insurance company sticks to it's guns, then I will insist that they provide a roofing contractor that will do the job they are advocating, matching shingles as well as humanly possible with a shingle of equal or better quality than whats on there currently and with written warranty against leakage and wind.
I would potentially accept that as a solution.
At this point I haven't found a contractor that will patch and provide a leakage/wind warranty.
What do you think of that solution, should I hold out for more?
Like to move on with this and get on with my life.
At the very least you are entitled to see the report by the engineer. Like I said previously, keep fighting for what you feel you are entitled to.
But remember, just because other neighbors received total roof replacement, doesn't mean you will get the same. In the last ten years these hail damage claims have skyrocketed. I doubt that mother nature has produced more storms.
One thing to for surely get done.....get rid of that cheap ins. company and get someone else. Do you want to pay your deductible for a patch job or a whole new roof? With the patch job, are you financially back tyo where you were before the storm? Probably not. I don't see a way to match shingles of that age with wear and fading.
Just say you are selling the house. Will it sell easier with a roof that is all the same or one that clearly shows patches?
If they won't budge, take what they give you, call your agent and let him know why you are cancelling....get someone else and wait for the next storm.
I believe my insurance adjuster is completely un-professional, irresponsible and negligent. He sent in his report to the home office stating that my contractor agreed with the adjuster and engineers assessment and ok'd the patch.
I spoke to the contractor, he viamently denies agreeing with them at any point.
And because the adjuster failed to notify me of any meetings regarding my claim, I wasn't there to hear any of the conversation. (another reason I claim unprofessionalism and neglegence)
Really all I'm asking for is piece of mind knowing that I will not continue to get water spots on my ceiling as a result of the storm.
Don't mention or act on dropping their service until the situation is settled.
Get a registered letter from the contractor who met with the adjuster stating exactly what he/she had to say during the meeting.
Ask for a copy of the engineers report.
Ask for a meeting with the adjuster and his/her supervisor.
If still unsatisfied at this point, contact an attorney and ask for advice.

The huge spider shown in the image is fake. The image was created in Photoshop by incorporating a photograph of a normal sized spider into a second photograph of a house wall. The image was created by artist and musician Paul Santa Maria. Paul posted it on his Facebook page just for fun, but removed it soon after. By that time, however, the image had escaped into cyberspace and started circulating virally.

It took several gun shots to kill it.... I would literally faint if I saw a spider this BIG. Detailed Analysis This image, which is likely to thrust an icy shard of terror into the hearts of arachnophobics the world over, is currently circulating virally via social media websites and email. The image shows a mind-bogglingly massive spider on the wall of a house. The message that circulates with the image claims that the giant arachnid is an "Angolan Witch Spider", a new species that has migrated from South America where they primarily feast on dogs and cats. According to the message, the photograph of the spider was taken at a house in Texas, and it took several gunshots before the beastie was finally killed. However, things are not what they seem. The image is the result of some clever digital manipulation and comprises a photograph of a normal sized spider incorporated into a picture of a house wall. The gigantic wall-spanning spider in the image - thankfully - does not exist. I contacted Paul Santa Maria, the creator of the image to ask how he came to create it and he answered with the following explanation: Well, the story is that I was sitting outside and saw the Wolf spider - I called him "Vulfie" like Stanzi from the film "Amadeus" - sitting on this grey concrete block, ran inside for my Canon point-and-shoot and nailed him twice. After a minute, the graphic artist who lives in my head said to go around the side of the house and shoot the same angle, cut him out in Photoshop and put him on the side of the house, not too big to be obviously ridiculous but big enough to scare the pants off of people by looking "acceptably" huge. I did this in about 20 minutes and then uploaded to my Facebook page. Within hours, I got messages from freaked-out women (and the grandson of the woman's house this was taken at, who was scared shit-less and refusing to come to visit 2 weeks later as he was scheduled to) and the woman begged me to take it down - I was just having fun and not looking for attention or to freak people out, so I removed it after about 9 hours. About 4 weeks ago (1 year later and having practically forgotten it) I started getting these emails (like yours) asking if I did this, because I ALWAYS include my url on the pictures I make. Apparently, one person downloaded it and then shared it on their own page (as opposed to just sharing) ... but then it got shared over 25 thousand times before it got back to me! The image has now been reposted 100's of thousands of times. The original photographs of the spider used in the image are shown below: Paul originally called the piece "Sure You Want To Move To Florida?". It is unclear who wrote the later description identifying the spider as an "Angolan Witch Spider" and relocating the action to Texas. And to further salve the nerves of any still-quivering arachnophobics, I should point out that even the largest species of spiders on the planet don't hold a candle to the gigantic Vulfie in the size stakes.

The beetle, or scarabaeus, is a symbol with this ancient people of "eternal duration."
It is an Egyptian scarabaeus, found, if you please, in a pyramid.
To the centre is suspended by a small ring a scarabaeus of solid gold inlaid with lapis lazuli.
That is the reason the scarabaeus has no eyes, so the old ones say.
The scarabaeus, or sacred beetle, was the adornment of rings and necklaces; even the men wore necklaces and rings and chains.
And as much may be said of the larva of scarabaeus pentodon, a fellow-boarder of the Oryctes and the Cetonia.
To be 'of the blood of the scarabaeus,' is merely to be one of that family of which the scarabaeus is the insignium.
scarabaeus lowers his head, arches his back, draws himself up on his twitching legs.
The scarabaeus was the insignium or the 'arms,' of a very distinguished and very rare patrician family.
There are many varieties of beetle, including a number of species representing the scarabaeus of the ancients.

Austerity's children becoming Europe's "lost generation"
By Claire Davenport
BRUSSELS (Reuters) - Children across Europe are being driven into poverty by harsh government austerity and youth unemployment is soaring, threatening to create "lost generations" that could fire up a new continental crisis.
Global charity Caritas said on Thursday that around three out of every 10 children in Greece, Ireland, Portugal, Italy and Spain are in or have been pushed to the brink of poverty.
Greece said its youth unemployment had now exceeded 60 percent. Spain's is above 50 percent and Portugal has just topped 40 percent.
Think tank Bruegel said the problem extended well beyond the debt-laden peripheral euro zone economies and could come back to reverse Europe's slow recovery from financial crisis.
In a report, Caritas said euro zone countries that have received international loans - plus Italy, which hasn't - are creating a huge class of poorly-educated and poorly-fed young people with low morale and few job prospects.
"This could be a recipe not just for one lost generation in Europe but for several lost generations," Caritas said, citing the European Union's own statistics.
While these countries' future workers may suffer a loss of morale, qualifications and prospects, those that struggle through are likely to take their talents elsewhere.
Those with qualifications are already leaving in droves to seek work elsewhere, particularly in Germany where the number of Spanish and Greek jobseekers almost doubled during the first half of 2012. Continued...

text: Dec 20, 2011 - OK so i live in the UK and was so excited to receive my AnGel in the post that i ordered from the states, but it was quite a let down. I thought it would make my 3a/3b curls really well defined, basically how devacurl suggest. However, the first few times i used it it left my hair really dry, dull, and feeling really producty (not the 'gel cast' feeling, but a gunky straw like feeling). No shine or bounce what so ever. To be honest it made my curls less curly. Then I read somewhere that it is best combined with One Condition (leaving some in your hair). So i tried again, this time i washed my hair and left in some One Condition, and applied the AnGel. This time it did leave my hair a lot softer and did slightly define my curls. So why the low rating? because whilst when applying it with some One Condition the producty feeling went away, as did the dryness, My hair was so frizzy, not enough hold at all and still looking quite dull. I think this product will work well if you have low to no frizz and if you combine it with One Condition left in. But if you really need the control from a gel/styling product, then its not as well suited.

Georgia PM aims to strengthen his role before presidential vote
By Margarita Antidze
TBILISI (Reuters) - Georgia's new prime minister aims to change the constitution to boost his powers before a presidential vote next year, he said on Thursday, but will not try to impeach rival President Mikheil Saakashvili.
Bidzina Ivanishvili won power in a parliamentary election last month that ended Saakashvili's nine-year political dominance but left Georgia with an uneasy "cohabitation" government, with the president still in place, at least until October.
"We are not going to initiate the (president's) impeachment," Ivanishvili told a news conference, adding: "We will probably initiate constitutional amendments which will be clear to everyone."
Under Ivanishvili, authorities have arrested more than 10 former senior officials, including an ex-interior minister and the army chief-of-staff, raising opposition fears of a purge and drawing criticism from Saakashvili's allies in the West.
Parliament approved the constitutional changes - giving more powers to the legislature and the prime minister - before the election which brought the billionaire businessman to office - but they were due to take effect only after the October 2013 presidential election.
"We want these amendments to come into force earlier," Ivanishvili said. "Not after the election in October 2013, but earlier."
Ivanishvili signaled that relations with the West were a priority by making Brussels his first foreign trip last week. But he said a planned visit to the United States would be postponed until next year.
NATO and European Union leaders upbraided the prime minister over the arrest of political opponents as he visited Brussels and Ivanishvili said afterwards that his four-day absence had harmed the government's work. Continued...

iOS users don't get to have all the fun anymore. Android users can join in on the FireChat fun now, too!
FireChat's ability to reach other users without an Internet connection or SMS has reached Android phones. Through a mixture of Bluetooth technology and FireChat's own mesh network technology developed for Android, FireChat creator Open Garden that allowed the startup to extend the app to the Android platform. FireChat is now available on the Android platform. The newest version also includes a boost for iOS users too, cross-platform messaging, allowing Apple and Android users to chat via the app.
Like its iOS-only predecessor version, the new FireChat, dubbed "FireChat Love," relies on peer-to-peer mesh networking technology to enable the network's strength for off the grid communications. This technology is based on individual devices, so each smartphone or other device in the network helps strengthen it. Now Open Garden has added the infrastructure to facilitate building the network across the two largest smartphone platforms, providing the potential for the network to grow even further.
A larger network means messages can go further, making it more likely to reach someone further away without having to send a text or rely on data-supported messaging apps. Originally built based on a broadcast feature exclusive to Apple products, the technology that enables the AirDrop feature on MacBook computers, the Open Garden extended the technology to the Android platform using Bluetooth, which can carry the peer to peer mesh network.

Report: Amazon Smartphone One Step Closer to Production

Foxconn is allegedly working on the device now
After making a huge (and successful) splash in the tablet space with its Kindle Fire devices, it only makes sense that Amazon would
give smartphones a shot
-- and rumor has it that Foxconn has already manufactured a new model for the e-tailer.
According to a report by
, Amazon's first smartphone will launch between the second and third quarter of 2013 and the e-tailer may ship as many as five million units for the year.
Foxconn has allegedly manufactured a new smartphone model for Amazon already, with touch panel makers J Touch Corp. and Young Fast Optoelectronics Co. rumored to be playing a role in the new smartphone's development.
Back in July of this year,
reported that Amazon was looking to release a smartphone of its own
as early as November 2012
. Clearly that didn't happen, but other rumors have left the mill as well, such as the size of Amazon's first phone (
4 to 5 inches
Amazon dipped into the mobile realm last year when it released its first tablet, the Kindle Fire, in November 2011. The 7-inch, $199 tablet was a hit during the holiday season,
moving 4.7 million units in Q4 2011
. This was nearly one-third of what Apple's iPad accomplished during that same period (15.4 million units).
In September of this year, Amazon announced the successor to the Kindle Fire:
Kindle Fire HD
. The HD comes in 7-inch, 8.9-inch or 4G LTE models. The 7-inch model shipped September 14 at $199 while the 8.9-inch model shipped November 20 for $299. For those willing to step up to the 4G LTE Fire HD, it shipped November 20 for $499 -- and don't forget the great data package that offers 250 MB of bandwidth per month, 20 GB of cloud storage space and a $10 Appstore credit all for $49.99 per year.
"Let's face it, we're not changing the world. We're building a product that helps people buy more crap - and watch porn." -- Seagate CEO Bill Watkins

Once upon a time, news and fundamentals mattered.
Then the Fed came and ever since then the main question has been where the highest concentration of shorts is, just to squeeze the margin call daylights out of them, and generate alpha (a strategy we highlighted back in 2012).
And while shorting crappy, illiquid stocks has not worked for a long, long time because under ZIRP capital is misallocated with reckless abandon usually ending up promptly in the most worthless companies, it was not until the past year when the shorting brigade decided to assault the most liquid, allegedly, instrument: the US Treasury bond itself.
It is here where said brigade has stumbled again and again, and where despite promises of an economic recovery and inflation (and thus higher rates), the 10Y, and especially the 30Y, continue to plough ever higher, much to the amazement of the "it's all getting better brigade" signalling nothing but economic contraction and deflation for the future.
And, as Citi's Amitabh Arora points out, things for TSY shorts are about to go from bad to worse. To wit:
Flow Analysis: Over the last 3 months we have seen good appetite for EGBs, net buying of USTs, and flat demand for JGBs. However, the buying of USTs hasn't been in 10s where the main short is located. Hedge funds are accelerating their buying of EGBs (across the curve) and decreasing their selling of USTs. Real money has resumed their buying of USTs and has started to sell EGBs.
Futures Positioning in US. Since 2010, the CFTC has published a supplement to their weekly commitments of traders report specific to financial products. Asset managers are long, while dealers, hedge funds, and other buy side investors are short. Using alternative positioning indicators, we assess where we can give credence to the CFTC data, and where there is more to the picture than the CFTC data reveals.
Two main position imbalances
The clearest position concentration is short USTs (Figure 1). As the grey shaded squares indicate, the short has increased materially over the last 3 months. Equally importantly, there is an absence of corresponding longs in any client group to balance these shorts. Together that points to the prospect of even lower UST yields.
In other words, as wave after wave of shorts enters the "it's going to crash any minute now" Treasury short, what will continue happening is precisely the opposite, sending yields ever lower until finally the Fed will have to step in and warn that it may be about to sell TSYs in order to launch the long-overdue repricing, first in rates and then in risk.

Derry freshman Micky Phillippi and Ligonier Valley junior Justin Patrick brewed a healthy rivalry in the postseason.
Although Phillippi got the last laugh by capturing the PIAA Class AA title at 113 pounds, Patrick handed the Trojan two of his four losses on the year, including a fall in the semifinals at the Southwest Regional tournament.
The duo once again seemed destined to meet in the third- and fourth-place consolation bout at one of the most prestigious high school wrestling tournaments in the country, the fourth annual Flo Nationals wrestling tournament Saturday at the Kovalchick Convention and Athletic Complex.
However, each wrestler dropped matches to state champions in consolation-round bouts, resulting in Phillippi landing in the fifth- and sixth-place match and Patrick ending up in the seventh- and eighth-place bout.
Phillippi dropped an 11-2 major decision to Oklahoma state champion Markus Simmons to place sixth, and Patrick lost a 5-0 decision to Illinois state champion Kyle Akins to take eighth.
Patrick's older brother, senior Joshua Patrick (126), advanced to the quarterfinals before losing to the eventual champ, Hempfield's Sam Krivus, who's also a PIAA Class AAA titlist. Patrick lost in his first consolation-round bout and was eliminated.
Joshua Patrick, who has already signed a national letter of intent to wrestle at Rutgers University next season, became the first wrestler in Ligonier Valley history to qualify for four straight state tournaments and to place in three in March.
Phillippi, the No. 11 seed in a bracket of nearly 100 competitors, won three straight matches Friday before losing a 5-3 decision to top-seeded New York state champion Nick Piccininni, the eventual runner-up, in the quarterfinals.
Phillippi then earned two straight decision wins in the consolation bracket, including a 2-0 win over Akins in the consolation quarterfinals.
But Cathedral Prep's Jake Gromacki promptly halted Phillippi's momentum when he jumped out to a 5-0 lead and then pinned the freshman in the second period in the consolation semifinals.
Of the five matches Phillippi wrestled Saturday, three were against state titlists.
"I feel like I could have been seeded higher. That could have been me," Phillippi said of Piccininni. "I let a stupid takedown go in that match that I shouldn't have. I just didn't wrestle the best I could. I work a lot harder, I feel like."
The No. 14 seed, Patrick, a three-time state qualifier and a fourth-place state placewinner the last two seasons, surrendered a last-second takedown and got nipped by California state champ Israel Saavedra, 6-5, in the consolation quarterfinals. Saavedra, a freshman, went on to place third.
In the seventh- and eighth-place consolation match, Patrick lost for the second time in as many days to Akins. Akins beat Patrick, 7-2, in a first-round match Friday.
"Coming into this my goal was to place and try to get my name out there nationally," Patrick said. "There were obviously Division I coaches here watching. I'm glad I wrestled through the losers' bracket to the medal rounds, but I'm kind of disappointed that I gave up a takedown in the last second to the kid who took third in the consolation quarterfinals. That was a tough loss, but aside from that, I was pretty much satisfied."

Check my valve spring specs for cam break in
Hey guys getting ready to install and break in my Lunati Voodoo 268 hydraulic tappet cam and just wanted y'alls opinions on my springs to make sure their not too stiff. I'd hate to wear down a lobe or lifter on break in :( Thanks for your time and help guys.
Spring pressure closed 115 lbs @ 1.800
Spring pressure open** 310 lbs @ 1.225
Coil bind is 1.130
Install height is 1.800
Max valve lift is .575
And here are the cam specs
Advertised Duration (Int/Exh): 268/276Duration @ .050 (Int/Exh): 227/233Gross Valve Lift (Int/Exh): .489/.504LSA/ICL: 110/106Valve Lash (Int/Exh): Hyd/HydRPM Range: 1800-6200
Better use some 1.3 rockers or pull all the inner springs. I think you are borderline. What rockers are you using? Rollers? What size studs?
Man they're just single spring, not dual. And full roller 1.5 magnum rockers on a 3/8 stud. I thought it was gonna be pretty close but dang....
And I dont have any 1.3 rockers... however I do have some stock vortec springs but I'm afraid they'll break at the lift I'm running during break in
I broke in a GM Pontiac Ram Air 4 hydraulic flat tappet camshaft with 1970 GM Pontiac Ram Air III dual valve springs. Those springs had 125 lb. seat pressure and 325 lb. open pressure with 1.5:1 rocker arms. I set the lifter preload while the engine was still on the engine stand. After the engine was installed, it started immediately and I took it to 2500 RPM and held it there for 10 minutes. The cam survived the break-in period.
That was about 10 years ago using Crane Cams Moly-Paste #99002-1 on the cam lobes and distributor gear with Valvoline 10W-30 All Season motor oil. The motor oil did not have any more ZDDP 10 years ago than it does today.
Full rollers you might be alright. That .575 lift got my attention though. There will be some other opinions here Im sure. Sort it out and use a quality break in oil such as Brad Penn or Joe Gibbs with the zddp additive. Im not a fan of Rotella, it doesnt have near the zddp you need for brakein, nor is it made for gasoline engines. Again, you will get some different opinions here.
I'd check to see if the old vortec sorings will manage the .504" lift without going into coil bind, and use them for the break-in period if they will work. Give the cam every advantage you can during break-in.
This is what I'd do if I just HAD to install a flat tappet cam. Shell out the 40 bucks for these springs, install 'em and run the motor at low r's for the first couple hundred miles. Then, using a spring compressor that works with the heads in place, I'd change out the springs to whatever the cam manufacturer specifies for that particular cam.
Use shop air to hold the valves up on their seats, or feed a length of clothesline rope through the spark plug hole and jam the piston up against the rope to keep the valves on their seats while you change out the springs. Put the light springs in a bucket and label it "Camshaft break-in springs".
Comp Cams 979-16 Valve Springs 1.250" Outer
80 lbs on-seat, 200 lbs at 0.500" lift.
If in doubt, re-read this article. It was written by those of us who have been there, done that many times.
Bottom line Bubba, if you try to break in the cam with 300+ lb springs, you'll be doing it a second time not so far down the road. Suit yourself.:rolleyes:
DUH, Sorry I read that wrong
It is critical that you set the lifter preload and time the engine before you install the engine. You do not want to be cranking on a new engine trying to adjust the valves and timing.
I have only had one camshaft go flat and that was in 1966 and it was because I carelessly got used lifter mixed up. I have never used light valve springs to break in a camshaft but I never used a flat tappet camshaft with more than 125 lb. seat pressure and 325 lb. open pressure. I have never used any special motor oil except Valvoline 10W-30 All Season with Crane Moly paste on the cam and lifters. The engine is primed on the engine stand with a variable speed drill as the crank is slowly rotated by hand.
Make certain the engine will start instantly and you can run it up to 2500 RPM when breaking in a new flat tappet camshaft and lifters. If you try to set the timing, lifter preload or valve lash and monkey with the carburetor adjustments when you are breaking in a new camshaft, you may have the experience of watching your camshaft go flat no matter what trick oil or additives you are using. .
The open spring pressure is 310 pounds- but at 0.575" lift. The pressure at close to 0.500 is going to be well under 300 pounds.
I have broken in FT cams w/springs similar to this- but that was then and this is now. I believe if you're careful and follow all the rules, you'll be OK. But then, I won't be repairing it if it goes wrong.
(.505 x 310 = 156.5) + 115 = 271 #'s of spring pressure. He says I'll be fine doing the proper break in steps but absolutely nothing wrong with playing it double safe either. So I guess I need to decide which I'm gonna do. Decisions decisions

It is my opinion that your best result will be obtained by a surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. A facelift is a very involved procedure and it takes an expert surgeon to perfom one correctly and artistically. Minilifts are not alike. They are totally dependent on who is performing them.
Minifacelifts are in many respects more difficult than conventional facelifts. You have essentially all of the incisions of a facelift, but much less undermining. The tension used to close the incision is often considerable. So the scars are wider. There is inadequate remodeling of the deep tissues, so jowls remain unaltered in the long term, and the neck lift result fades fast.
Many paractitioners who offer only minilifts also have, unfortunately, much less training and experience. The combination of inferior training and an inferior technique may account for the extremely low satisfaction, in my opinion, of patients on the LifeStyle Lift Boards (40% only are satisfied on RealSelf.com).
I also suggest you interview several surgeons before undertaking your procedure. By being on RealSelf, chances are you are a sophisticated consumer, and you probably know by now how to evaluate your consultations.

full Samsung Series 9 900X3B review
In the flesh, it's clear this is a seriously premium laptop, and indeed that's why Samsung hasn't dubbed it an ultrabook - it's too good and too expensive. Ultrabook it may not be but nevertheless, we're ultra impressed. If you can afford it, this laptop should be right at the top of your priority list.

Large circulating vent on new home
1 Attachment(s)
I just purchased this home which has high ceilings throughout. These are pictures of the vent they have used. It is over a bedroom. Is this the right thing to have? It almost looks industrial, and I have never seen it on a home. I can see daylight from below so I am thinking I have to do something to make this weather tight. Please give advice. Thank you to all who help.

Yes, any home inspector would have told you this is a problem. Was this a foreclosure or something? What was the seller's explanation? You will want to post pics of the top of the roof where that thing is installed to so someone can tell you whether that will cause you problems as well.
It was never adjusted after the instillation. The top of the turbine should be level, but probably a moot point because if the OP doesn't like the appearance it's going in the dumpster.
Yes this was a foreclosure. I have found that home inspectors are rarely worth the high fees they charge. I just want to know what to do with this thing. The home has high cathedral ceilings throughout so I thought this was something that is needed. If not I will just rip it out and patch the roof. If it adds ventilation to the house I will fix it or replace it with a standard vent.
Looks like you may already have a ridge vent, if so that piece of poop needs to go.
No other vents other then soffit vents is need if you have a ridge vent.
It never should have been run to the inside of the home!
Not a chance.
That type vent with a cathedral type ceiling would only vent one rafter bay, it's useless and installed wrong.
Who cut the hole in the ceiling?
I bought it that way. The rest of the house is fine. The main panel is a work of art with every wire in its place. There are up to code GFCIs where they should be etc. Plumbing looks good. I paid a fair price.
To the OP, there is attic space up there, but when they did the Cathedral ceiling, they did the whole mess incorrect, so you are going to have long term issues.
Also all of your conditioned air is just going out of those vents. You would expect something like that in a warehouse, not in a home.
No one still knows where you live because you did not add your location to your profile.
Just go to quick links to edit.
Still did not answer the question who cut that hole in the ceiling. Is that the way it was when you bought it? Or did you open it up for some reason?
That style vent is to only vent an open attic, not to exhaust air from the living space.
Any heat in the whole house will go straight out that vent.
Insects can just fly into the home.
Really you need to go pull all permits and building plans, due to there is no way that should have gotten a COA (Certificate of Occupation), once the construction was done, or if required during the building process.
I can just tell from what little bit of insulation that is showing, there is not enough up there. You have bigger issues at hand then you realize with this, but it can be fixed.

Jaipur tours and Holidays
About Jaipur
The vibrant capital of Rajasthan is a flamboyant showcase of Rajasthani architecture and a firm favourite on tourist itineraries as the third corner of India's Golden Triangle alongside Delhi and Agra. Popularly known as the 'Pink City', in 1876 Maharaja Ram Singh had the whole city painted pink, traditionally a colour associated with hospitality, to welcome the Prince of Wales (later Edward VII).Read More
Jaipur was chosen by Maharaja Jai Singh II (1693-1743) for his capital. A skilled astronomer and visionary, he worked with superb Bengali architect Vidyadhar Bhattacharya to complete design and construction of Jaipur in less than eight years and the 18th century UNESCO-listed Jantar Mantar is the largest and best preserved of five observatories built by the astronomer prince. The observatory complex is fascinating with giant stone structures that Jai Singh II had built to measure time, chart the declination of celestial bodies and predict eclipses.
Other must-sees within the city include the City Palace Complex. The palace is a blend of Rajasthani and Mughal architecture. The son of the last Maharaja and his family still reside in a wing of the palace. Also of interest is the Palace of the Winds (known as Hawa Mahal), whose facade is adorned with elaborate, perforated screens. The Old City, the actual Pink City, is a great place to wander around with ancient walls encircling bustling bazaars selling beautiful textiles and jewellery. For many visitors a highlight is the magnificent Amber Fort, a striking vision in yellow and pink sandstone with a royal palace and numerous courtyards.

Best sites to visit in Jaipur
Amber FortView on map
The spectacular Amber Fort located 11km north of Jaipur is high on any visitor's list thanks largely to its impressive setting on a rocky ridge overlooking a stretch of water that on a clear day reflects a perfect symmetrical image of the sandstone ramparts. The palace is reached via a cobbled road which brings you to the Suraj Pol (Sun Gate) and the large Jaleb Chowk courtyard. Many visitors opt to take an elephant ride instead of the 10 minute climb and combine a visit to Amber Fort with nearby Jaigarh Fort.
City PalaceView on map
Enclosed by a high wall with attractive gardens and courtyards, the magnificent City Palace dates back to the early 18th century and is today open to the public as the Sawai Man Singh Museum. The majority of the complex is still used as a royal residence but tickets gain entry to a number of areas within the City Palace including the fine collection of weapons held in the Armoury, the stately Diwan-i-Khas (Hall of Private Audience) and the striking painted doorways of Pritam Niwas Chowk (Peacock Courtyard).
Jantar MantarView on map
A stone's throw from the City Palace is the remarkable observatory of Jantar Mantar. The giant stone structures enclosed within the complex were designed as astronomical devices to measure the heavens in order to predict the movements of the known planets and stars. Declared an UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2010, Jaipur's Jantar Mantar is India's most important historic observatory with many of the instruments in a superb state of preservation. Local guides are highly recommended as they are able to explain how each device works.
Hawa MahalView on map
The pink sandstone facade of Hawa Mahal, or Palace of Winds is Jaipur's most iconic sight. Built in 1799 to allow women of the court to remain screened from view while watching processions held in the streets below, Hawa Mahal rises five stories tall with superb views across neighbouring Jantar Mantar and the City Palace from the top. Surprisingly, Hawa Mahal is only one room deep with narrow corridors and a small museum containing miniature paintings and ceremonial armour.
Raj Mandir Heritage CinemaView on map
For lovers of Bollywood this is a must do! Raj Mandir Cinema is a heritage listed building with 1970's decor galore. If you have a spare evening on your visit to Jaipur, consider heading out to watch a Bollywood flick with the locals in classical cinema surroundings. It's certainly a unique experience and one you're bound to remember.
Pink City BazaarsView on map
The old Pink City teems with exotic bazaars selling everything from textiles, jewellery and carpets to pottery, leather shoes and metal work. A number of bazaars will specialise in one particular item with Badi Chaupad and Johari Bazaar serving as the main bazaar areas within the city. Here you can see craftsmen and women at work, using artistic traditions that date back centuries. Used almost entirely by the locals, these markets are India as its bustling best.
Nahargarh FortView on map
Situated on the steep hills overlooking the city to the north, the imposing stone walls of Nahargarh Fort run for almost a kilometre and offer incredible views across Jaipur city. Dating back to the 18th century the surviving palace apartments are open to the public, a maze of corridors, stairwells and rooms that almost perfectly mimic one another.
Recommended things to do in and around Jaipur
Hot Air BallooningView on map
One of our top picks for Jaipur is a sunrise hot air balloon ride. Sail within a breath of lofty hilltop forts and fine regal palaces, look down upon sleepy villages waking to the early morning sun and drift past expansive waterside manors and intricately stone carved temples on this magical adventure.
Dera Amer SafariView on map
Enjoy a safari by elephant from Dera Amer rural estate through the Aravalli foothills situated behind the Amber Fort. Passing through wonderful rural scenery and a pretty lake, you'll spot antelopes and jackals which are in abundance in the area. The safari concludes with a delicious dinner served in a beautiful rural setting exclusively for you.
SanganerView on map
Located 12km south of Jaipur the busy textile centre of Sanganer is the perfect place to watch traditional crafts people in action with handmade paper, block-printing and pottery painting forming the basis of the town's cottage industries. The workshops along the main road make for interesting photographic subject matter along with the colourful fabrics left to dry on the banks of the river. Sanganer is also home to a collection of elegant Jain temples and a ruined palace.
TonkView on map
If you have a spare morning or afternoon, head out of the city to visit the small town of Tonk. This little town bursting at the seams with Old Havelis (mansions) Palaces and Mosques is sometimes overlooked and a real hidden gem. A particular highlight is Sunehri Kothi which is one of the best preserved Havelis in the country.
GaltaView on map
To the east of Jaipur in a deep valley sits the ancient Hindu pilgrimage site of Galta, also known as the 'Monkey Palace' for the hundreds of langurs and macaques that reside here and bathe in the water tanks. The narrow rocky riverine provides an impressive backdrop to the 250-year-old temples that feature pink sandstone pavilions, carved pillars, painted walls and assortment of shrines. Further up the ridge is the quiet Surya Mandir temple which affords incredible views of Jaipur.
Bishnoi VillageView on map
Enjoy an afternoon safari in a vintage jeep out to a traditional Bishnoi Village. The Bishnoi are an environmentally-friendly sect of the Hindu religion, a community unique to Rajasthan that's renowned for their rich culture and true love for nature and animals. Meeting with the Bishnoi and getting a glimpse into their way of life and is fascinating experience and highly recommended trip from Jaipur.
Transport links in Jaipur
Flying inView on map
The main airport for Jaipur and the surrounding areas is Jaipur International Airport. There are plenty of flights from Jaipur to Delhi daily, run by proper scheduled carriers and it's a quick flight at under an hour. There are also regular flights to main metro cities in India like Mumbai, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kolkata and Bangalore. The airport is around 8 miles south of Jaipur, and is around a 30 minute drive to the city centre, though this varies greatly by time of day.
Railway ServicesView on map
The largest station in Jaipur is Jaipur Junction station which is located in the centre of the city. From Jaipur Junction you will be able to jump on a direct train to a number of other of Rajasthan's draw cards like Jodhpur and Udaipur. There is also the speedy Shatabdi Express from Jaipur to Delhi which is very convenient and cheaper option that flying. If you were considering a journey on the luxury Palace on Wheels train in North India, one of the stops made is in Jaipur Junction too.
By RoadView on map
If you're calling in on Jaipur, you're likely to be visiting the sites of India's Golden Triangle (Delhi and Agra) too, which is often travelled by road. There's a relatively new road between Agra and Jaipur and the 250km drive takes around 5 hours. The highway between Jaipur and Delhi is around 250km. It's currently being expanded, so it's a long drive at around 6 hours.
The best time to visit Jaipur
Being in Rajasthan, Jaipur can get extremely hot in the (Northern Hemisphere) summer months, so we recommend visiting during India's main season for travellers - from late September through mid-April. It's a dry heat however, so it's not overly uncomfortable in the summer, subject to have a pool to cool off at occasionally!

Tradition and innovation :
Designing and manufacturing slipper rock climbing shoes is not an easy business.
Would it come under an unfeasible matter to design and manufacture innovating slippers in
the traditional pure spirit, most particularly in France?
We are in a position to assert that it is achievable, the Boldrini collection meets an
unprecedented success towards knowledgeable experts and with the wealth of this
successful challenge we announce the improvement of our production outputs of our Romans
site in the department of Drôme.
We are proud and excited to unveil our new 2007 fashion show enriched by even more
innovations and more than ever aimed at the "performance-precision-comfort" triad.
It's particularly the case concerning the Apache Talisman and Apache 5 model which
counteracts the assumption of the commonplace that "a slipper should hurt to be highperformance".
You are welcome to put on our products and check how nice they fit!
As a result, this achievement is the fruit of our implication in the manufacturing of slippers
dedicated to pleasure and emotion. Whatever your practice, we'll always be eagerly waiting
down to the smallest detail aiming at improving your comfort and the accuracy
of your movements... climbing with more and more freedom.
