All I want is a simple html5 responsive blog. I don't need side bars or any other stuff. I just want a blog, no gallery, no video, no anything but blogging..
Now, it needs to be have proper headers and footer, responsive, html5, wordpress theme. It needs to have the proper css media queries for tablet and phone. It needs to just allow me to blog. Why do we need all this other stuff.. good grief. Just a simple template.
I would like to use the manifest templatehttp://www.stephenkoochis.com/blog/
my site, persons template at bottom, but it is turning out to be a night mare for responsiveness ( which I never expected, only there as a test and a visual )
Are there any templates out there that are just simple like this? responsive and properly formatted for phones and tablets?
If not, can we get someone to make one? Something simple please.
Kind regards, Stephen
Please contact me on email@example.com . I'll see what I can do.
Get in touch via email (email@example.com). since you're looking for a minimal design, it won't take much time.

Looks good. The distribution stuff seems very useful. I'm also
interested in what they did with Compile.
However, I'm still waiting for some low-level improvements. I would
kill for some of these:
- packed arrays supporting Indeterminate, -Infinity, and Infinity
(especially for JavaLink)
- packed bit/boolean arrays
- an efficient/packed reap, something like
ReapArray[Sow[1];Sow[2],Integer] == {1,2} and PackedArrayQ == True
- With[] should be allowed to override names in the current scope (and
basically const-ify them).
I hate having to do things like: Module[{x,y}, ....
With[{x0=x,y0=y}, ... ]].
I'd rather just say: Module[{x,y}, ... With[{x,y}, ... ]]
- an efficient way to exit a scoping construct, like ModuleReturn/
BlockReturn/WithReturn (and/or a huge speed improvement to Catch/Throw)

Merrill Field Cab going back into service
For decades, air controllers used the Merrill Field Control Tower Cab to help guide pilots in and out of Merrill Field. Soon, it will have a new use as a museum exhibit.
Crews continue working on the old Merrill Field Cab at the Alaska Aviation Museum. That is where air traffic controllers watched planes take off and land.
One unique feature of the two-story building is that you'll be able to hear controllers talk with pilots at Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport and Lake Hood Seaplane Base.
The museum wants to use the cab to help recruit people for a career as an air traffic controller.
"Think that kind of gets overlooked," said the museum's director, Shari Hart. "A lot of the excitement is all the pilots and the airplanes that fly by."
The new exhibit opens in August. State and private grants paid for the $225,000 project.

Outstanding ... MacFadyen is a worthy Darcy and a darned good actor to boot! The scenery, backgrounds, and country folk were much more realistic than previous versions. The costumes and hairdos also seemed in keeping with the times. Another great addition is the priceless Donald Sutherland who, in a perfect world, would have had more scenes with Judy Densch. If those two can't chew up the scenery, nobody can. And, finally, Keira Knightly is a jewel. Her beauty is so apparent that it almost detracts from the fact that this is a very good actress who can hold her own in any room. This was a delight and I only wish that it could have been 6 hours long.
Jane Austen's tale of love and economics reaches us once more with the energy of a thorough novelty. "Pride and Prejudice" has been a favorite novel of mine since I first read it and I've seen Laurence Olivier and Greer Garson, Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle and now Matthew MacFadyen and Kiera Knightly. Amazingly enough I've never been disappointed. The material seems to be full proof. Colin Firth's Darcy, in many ways, is the Darcy I've always imagined. He's been an actor I've followed feverishly since his glorious Adrian LeDuc in "Apartment Zero", Matthew MacFadyen was totally new to me but he managed to create that sense of longing that makes that final pay off so satisfying. Kiera Knightly is a ravishing revelation. I must confess, I didn't remotely imagined that she was capable of the powerful range she brilliantly shows here. The other big surprise is Joe Wright, the director, in his feature film debut which is more than promising, it's extraordinary. The photography, the art direction and the spectacular supporting cast, in particular Donald Sutherland and Brenda Blethyn, makes this new version of a perennial classic a memorable evening at the movies
A "modernised" version of Jane Austen's classic novel that should not
be compared unfavourably with 1940 Hollywood Olivier / Garson version
nor several BBC serials culminating in the most acclaimed TV series
version from 1995 with Colin Firth & Jennifer Ehle-a personal
This 2005 film clocks in 127 minutes (UK / Europe)& 135 minutes (USA & Canada) -the extended version allowing audiences to share more of the timeless love story with the main characters -Elizabeth Bennet & Mr Darcy.
Director Joe Wright plus his screenwriters ( Oscar winner Emma Thompson contributed to the final screenplay) have chosen to emphasise Elizabeth Bennet / Mr Darcy plus Jane Bennet/ Mr Bingley story lines & reduce Mr Wickman, Charlotte & Mr Collins to supporting characters.
Austen's famous wit,satire & humour that forms the basis for her enduring appeal (Pride & Prejudice was finally published in 1813 & continues as an annual bestseller)is sidelined to open up this version as more emotional drama for modern audiences.
If you are open to a newer interpretation, can avoid comparisons to the nearly 5 hour 1995 TV version which allowed for greater depth & detail in telling all the characters story lines & accept some of the new film's rushed story lines-you are in for a treat .....
New British star Keira Knightley (Elizabeth Bennet))excels in her first real leading actress role ably supported by fellow Brit Rosamund Pike (Jane Bennet) as the sisters supportive of each other's & their Bennett family problems.Knightley at 20 is the right age for her character,this allows Elizabeth's girlish personality plus her character's pride, misjudgements & loving nature to shine through....
Great star turns from Brenda Blethyn as their mother Mrs Bennet plus Oscar winner Judi Dench as fearsome Lady De Bourgh (Mr Darcy's aunt)add depth to this film version.Claudie Blakley as Elizabeths's wise friend Charlotte Lucas & Simon Wood's amusing Mr Bingley are delightful supporting performers.
One major surprise is Canadian actor Donald Sutherland's touching performance as Mr Bennet -capturing both the humour of living in an all female household & five daughters to look after with the poignancy of seeing his eldest children's difficult relationships develop -easily his best acting performance in years.
In the difficult role of Mr Darcy rising British star Matthew Macfadyen (BBC's Spy series Spooks & Award winning New Zealand film "In My Father's Den" rises to the occasion.With the short running time, there is not enough time to allow Darcy's repressed & prejudiced personality to be fully represented -Macfadyen perfectly displays Darcy's social & class problems, his unfortunate attempts at gaining Eliabeth Bennet's interest & his painful adjustments to achieve their personal love story.Macfayden & Knightley's objectionable first dance,their embarrassingly moving Collins House meeting,the unexpected Pemberley encounter plus their two proposal scenes are highlights of this film.
Engaging acting performances with wondrous film photography,film locations at some of United Kingdom's most famous stately homes, marvellous film sets & costumes plus one of 2005's best original music scores add greatly to this new film version.
All in all one of the better films of 2005 -not perfect film making and not intended to be as subtle as Austen's novel -but a wonderful surprise with some changes to present a modern version of Pride & Prejudice for current audiences -do see this film as & when it is released worldwide....
And after seeing the film or re-visiting 1995 BBC TV series -read the original novel for its classic storyline, memorable characters & Austen's brilliant writing style,wit & humour.....
9 Out Of 10 for this different interpretation of an enduring classic
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
This film is one of the worst adaptations of Pride and Prejudice ever
filmed and if Jane Austen were alive, she would demand that her name be
removed from the film. Austen's novel is only superficially a story of
the development of true love between Elizabeth Bennet and Fitzwilliam
Darcy. It is also a commentary on the class structure of Regency
Britain. This film focuses only on the love story, thereby
disappointing viewers who hoped it would do justice to the novel.
There are numerous problems with the historical accuracy of the film. In the film, the dance at which Darcy snubs Elizabeth is not the refined dancing done by the gentry, to which the Bennet, Lucas, Bingley, and Darcy families belong, but is rather the dancing of the lower classes. The gentry would not have been dancing as if they were at a peasant barn dance. There are costume and hair problems, too. The custom of the period required married women to wear white cloth hats to cover their hair and for women to wear bonnets when outdoors. Women of the Regency period were not so liberated as to forego the bonnet requirements in public. The worst historical inaccuracy is the early morning meeting of Elizabeth (in her nightgown and coat) and Mr. Darcy (sans cravat and vest) at which they admit their love for each other. This is an unforgivable liberty with the novel. No respectable young woman or gentleman would venture out of doors in such a state of undress or seek to meet someone of the opposite sex at such an early hour.
But the worst thing of all with this film is the mangling of Austen's dialogue and the atrocious modern dialogue. Austen's dialogue needs no assistance from a writer who thinks he/she can write like Austen. The writer of the non-Austen dialogue not only lacks Austen's talent but also has no feel for Austen's style. The juxtaposition of the two styles is jarring.
As for the acting, the best is done by Judi Dench, who clearly understands the imperiousness of the aristocracy. Brenda Blethyn takes some liberties in making Mrs. Bennet less awful than Austen's portrayal. Her portrayal is interesting and seems to work. Donald Sutherland is miscast. His affected British accent is terrible and he portrays Mr. Bennet too much as a father of the 20th century and not a father of the late 18th century. Matthew MacFadeyn's portrayal of Darcy is flat. I can't imagine anyone falling in love with his Mr. Darcy. Keira Knightly is a pretty Elizabeth, but her portrayal of Elizabeth Bennet is far too modern. Knightly focuses on the Elizabeth's forthrightness, but her portrayal completely lacks an understanding of the social mores and conventions of the time. She would have done well to actually read the novel before attempting to portray Elizabeth and to do research on the behavior of women of the period.
If one is making a period movie, one must be true to the period. This film needed an historical adviser who actually knows something about the Regency period. It also needed a writer who has a better appreciation and understanding of Austen's text. I can only hope Emma Thompson decides to do a film of Pride and Prejudice in the near future to erase this abomination from our minds.
The best thing that can be said about this film is that it contains many pretty scenes of the English countryside. Chatsworth is well used as Pemberly (as it was in the 1995 BBC adaptation). But pretty scenery and pretty actors cannot save this film. True fans of Austen will rush home to watch their DVDs of the far superior 1995 BBC production with Jennifer Ehle and Colin Firth or to read Austen's text in order to wipe this version from their minds.
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
Well Wright may have made a gritty depiction of life around 1800 - as
he so repeatedly and anally goes on about because of when it was
written as opposed to published - but it is HIS not Austen's and
shouldn't claim to be an adaptation.
Mrs Bennett looks like a rural washerwoman. This is a pampered woman - they have servants (remember the book scene with the servant dressing the hair, etc)? But Wright portrays her with rough reddened skin all down her chest, rough hands and working in the kitchen. And the pigs wandering through! If he wants bucolic, he should try Tess.
Mr Bennett - the script makes too cuddly and modern and ignored the weakness in him. The scene where he stops Mary playing is supposed to make you cringe - not pass in seconds. If it doesn't - don't include it.
MacFadyen is very weak in the part and seems to be doing some kind of Pride by numbers acting. The first proposal he looks like a nervous schoolboy rather than a man overcoming his pride to make a proposal beneath his station. Most of his lines, he could as well be reading a shopping list.
Lydia is awful. Completely over the top with excessive shrieking and skipping. Indeed, Knightley plays Elizabeth more like the giggling inane character Lydia actually is in the book, at times.
And Elizabeth. Half the time Knightley is, clearly, mimicking Ehle's voice and intonation - close your eyes to see what a copy it is. And in her role you see Wright's major error - there is NO PREJUDICE.
From the first encounter with Darcy she clearly fancies him. When he comments to Bingley on the attractiveness of the women in the hall she initially looks hurt - not shocked and affronted. The latter should set up the prejudice side of things. And when she and 'caroline' are prancing round the room she comes across like a tease, obviously all over him. And by virtually cutting out Wickham you don't get Elizabeth invested enough there to set up the prejudicial aspects falling out of that relationship.
And apparently it is Caroline not Miss Bingley. And Mr Bingley happily wanders into Jane's bedroom. And and and - Wright can boast about how great he is with period all he wants. But a few panorama shots of rural life (which show the preference for Hardy) don't excuse him the glaring blunders all over the place.
The cinematographer - who clearly wants awards - should have been reined in. He veered between Bronte and Hardy throughout the film - and wasn't the last proposal shots/lighting from Tess? The need to see Darcy walk along through the 'scape with unkempt shirt was just dumb. But most importantly - when going between those 2 very different landscapes they forget the most important one - Austen. (She'd have laughed out loud at the Elizabeth = sad, therefore = rain, running through to picturesque folly, wet Darcy rubbish).
I admit I found it impossible the watch the film without using the book as context. I was prepared to give it some leeway as it had to provide the story in a short space of time. But to forget fully one half of the core of the book in prejudice and Darcy to continually look more constipated than prideful, made it almost unwatchable. I could only see it as a mess with generally poor performances (when Knightley wasn't aping Ehle she was gurning or skipping or both and only calmed down a couple of times to indicate she does have some promise - but faffing about on swings to convey emotion isn't a substitute for a poor script and poor direction) - although for some it was simply a case of bad script.
Tom Holland alone would escape censure. While he toned down the comic aspects of Collins, he did turn in a very interesting approach. Dench does superbly the schtick she can do in her sleep whether it be here or in Oscar Wilde - but this was supposed to be Lady Catherine De Bourgh NOT Lady Bracknell. She was just a little too sane.
The shortened length could have been handled by a competent screenwriter, surely? Not characters filling in story gaps and helping along the audience all over the place. Elizabeth couldn't have come up with the £10k figure. And while they wanted to cut time with her learning of Darcy's involvement in Wickhams marriage the lines didn't fit with Lydia. It was the worst case of incongruous exposition in the piece.
It really is appalling stuff. Anyone who reviews it saying it works well in the context of the book is someone I frankly don't believe has read or understood the characterisations in the thing. Wright seems to think his characters are in the 1990s not the 1709s from their behaviour. I'm not convinced he has read the book - he certainly doesn't understand it. He doesn't understand Austen's acerbic wit or lightness of touch - he certainly made a dull plodding film out of it.
What is possibly worse was the sad pathetic need of the chick lit lovers to need the 'I love you, I love yous' all over the place so they can sigh and get off on it. The fact that it has no place in a work by Austen is apparently irrelevant.
Anyone who reviews it as a film alone? Well, more difficult for me except I would note the poor acting, the weak Darcy, and the gurning skipping inane irritation of the whole thing. If you are going to adapt you can change a lot - but if it loses the spirit and key motivations, then don't insult the book by taking it's title.
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
Having watched a slew of special effects-laden trailers before this
film I was reassured to discover that in the brave new world of CGI
cinema there is still a place for a satisfyingly romantic story,
well-acted and thoughtfully scripted and directed.
Comparisons with the highly-regarded 1995 BBC series are inevitable, but whereas that production had the luxury of time to unfold its plot and characters at leisure, the creators of this film had the unenviable task of reducing Jane Austen's book to just two hours. Yes, Austen lovers will mourn the absence or alteration of favourite scenes. Yes, we do lose some sense of the developing and changing relationships between the main characters (two examples - Wickham appears in only two scenes of any significance and personally I would have liked more time to savour Lizzie and Darcy's rediscovery of one another at Pemberley). Yes, there is occasionally a feeling of entering or leaving a scene partway through (where do Lizzie's uncle and aunt think she has gone when she apparently sets off from Pemberley to walk to Lambton without a word to them?) On the whole though, I think director Joe Wright, and screenwriter Deborah Moggach, are successful in retaining the flavour, the vital essence of Austen's original.
The film also offers some new perspectives on very familiar characters. Tom Hollander in particular, gives Mr. Collins something approaching dignity in his determined but usually unsuccessful attempts to ingratiate himself with those more powerful than him, and he provides some of the funniest moments of the film witness his attempts to gain Mr. Darcy's attention at the ball. Mrs. Bennet too, who we all remember Alison Steadman playing with an enthusiasm approaching pantomime, is more sympathetic in the hands of Brenda Blethyn because we understand more clearly the reasons behind her desperation to marry her daughters off. Mr. Bingley though teeters a fine line between nervous hesitancy and simple-minded idiocy which made me question why Jane Bennet would ever consider marrying him. And who on earth thought of giving him Cameron Diaz's infamous "There's Something About Mary" hairdo?
Reviews for Matthew MacFadyen seem to have been mixed so far, the inevitable 'Firth Factor' at least part of the reason. Personally I think he has a sexy, brooding presence to equal Firth's and (dare I say it) his Darcy has a little more charm and humanity when he does let his guard down. The scene where he bursts in upon Lizzie at the Collins' parsonage, all glove-twisting nervousness and incoherent attempts at small talk, captures perfectly the bewilderment of a man trained since childhood not to express his feelings, and made vulnerable for the first time by the conflicting emotions Lizzie has stirred in him.
I do think his Darcy is oddly lacking in 'pride' though, his taciturnity attributed to having so many expectations to live up to that he never dares let down the facade of 'Mr. Darcy of Pemberley'. Nor do we get any sense, as in the book, that Lizzie's free-spirited influence alters his attitude or behaviour towards others, the explanation the audience is left with being that really he was a nice guy all along, just misunderstood.
Keira Knightley's Lizzie brings nothing really new to the part, but whilst too stunningly beautiful to be the girl dismissed by Darcy as 'only tolerable', she has an abundance of the playfulness and charm which quickly captivates him. She is also a good enough actress to show Lizzie's own growing confusion and then loss as she realises how she has misread her own feelings.
The chemistry between the two leads works well, their dance at Netherfield a key moment as their verbal sparring gives way to a growing physical awareness which neither of them is ready to admit. Other little incidents such as the touch of hands as Darcy helps Lizzie into her carriage keep the romance heating up, and it almost reaches boiling point in the first proposal scene. It does fizzle away disappointingly though in their final reconciliation, which promises much at the start with a heady mix of very slightly disarrayed nightwear, rolling thunder and smouldering gazes across a misty meadow, but, whilst tenderly played, it ends up being a little too coy for the 21st century. Come on Joe Wright, give us a kiss in the DVD version please!
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
In 1995 the 5 hours miniseries of Pride & Prejudice, with Colin Firth
as Darcy and Jennifer Ehle as Elizabeth Bennet, was a big hit in
England and the Netherlands. It even inspired Helen Fielding to write
the Bridget Jones's novels. Therefor, whether you'll like the new 2005
movie mainly depends on the fact if you've seen the version that was
done ten years ago. If you have, you'll probably be very disappointed
with the Knightly movie. If you haven't, well, maybe this romantic
flick may be 'amiable' enough for you.
For those who aren't familiar with the story: Pride & Prejudice is a romantic costume drama that takes place in 19th century England and is based on the famous novel by Jane Austen. The story is about the Bennet family, a father, mother and five or six daughters. The only way to secure the future of the children is to marry a party that owns a lot of money. Jane, the oldest sister, is beautiful but a little icy. She hopes to marry young Bingley, a rich aristocrat who just moved to a castle nearby. Her younger sister Elizabeth, the main character of the movie, wants to help her conquer his heart, but finds out that Bingley's best friend, the rich but arrogant mister Darcy, sabotages her plans. Elizabeth and Darcy start out as enemies, but as the story progresses they both find out that their opinions of each other are based on wrong information, pride and prejudice.
Let's bring the good news first. The new Pride & Prejudice is the big Keira Knightly show. Although she cannot top Jennifer Ehle's performance, Knightly proves that she has real star-power and that she is able to carry a movie. She looks lovely in this flick: she enchants you with her great smile and has the charms of a young Winona Ryder. Dame Judi Dench is excellent as Darcy's powerful aunt who is against a marriage and Donald Sutherland has a both moving and funny scene at the end of the movie when he gives permission to Darcy to marry Elizabeth. The end of the movie is actually better than the one in the miniseries.
Okay, then the bad news. I guess the main flaw of this new version is Darcy himself, a role played by Matthew MacFadyen. In the story he is rather dull and generally uninterested in what's going on. It must be difficult to replace Colin Firth as leading man and the Darcy of the miniseries of course had more (screen)time to show his inner struggle. But the new Darcy is so dull that frankly you don't care if he ends up winning Elizabeth's heart or not. There is absolutely no spark between Knightly and MacFadyen. At the end of the movie they don't even kiss and as an audience you couldn't care less.
But Darcy isn't the only one that seems miscast. The new mister Bingley is despite his Jamie Oliver haircut a real nerd, and mister Wickham, who falls in love with Elizabeth but elopes with her younger sister, lacks the depth to be an interesting villain. Because of the time-frame, the movie is less subtle than the miniseries. There's a lot to be told in two hours and because of that there is hardly any suspense. Problems rise but they are solved within minutes. But what I really missed were the great dialogs. In the miniseries heavy emotions were always masqueraded by politeness. Darcy doesn't say "Wow, it's great to see you, Elizabeth" but instead asks if her parents are in good health. The things that are NOT said were more interesting than the things that were indeed spoken out. The encounters between Elizabeth and Darcy always turned out to be great fights in which words and sentences were used as swords and daggers. I really missed that in the new version. Come to think of it, I also missed the humor you did see in Ang Lee's Sense & Sensibility, also based on a Jane Austen novel. Where is Hugh Grant when you need him?
A friend of mine also a journalist really liked this movie. But he hadn't seen the Colin Firth/Jennifer Ehle version from 1995. So perhaps I'm a little hard on what was presented to me last week, because the film does have its qualities.

*** This review may contain spoilers ***
If you have never heard of Jane Austen, seen the original movie or the
1995 BBC adaptation, or even seen a pop up version of the book, then
this farcical attempt to show this classic love story may be considered
vaguely endurable.
From the opening scene, this film must be remembered for its awful acting, abominable miscasting and complete lack of the classic wit of Jane Austen.
Whoever decided to cast actors (with the exception of the excellent Judi Dench) who have obviously never heard of Jane Austen, let alone read her, should be punished! Keira Knightley grimaces and grins through every scene, and came across as being so obnoxious that no-one would want to marry her! Darcy looked as if he was trying to remember his lines throughout the whole film and the rest of the Bennet girls were interchangeable in their lack of portraying their characters as they were originally written.
This version failed to show the proper Pride and Prejudice that both Darcy and Elizabeth suffered from and, at the end of the longest two hours of my life, who cared whether they got together or not! Absolutely abysmal - even the too few minutes of Judi Dench cannot save this rubbish. I cannot think of anything good to say about this film apart from that it eventually ended!
before i start, i would like to say this. i can read, have read the
book, and i read the title of the movie before watching, as should you
all. quite disappointed in all the pompous idiots filled with prejudice
about the movie.
I know that another version of the well-mined Jane Austen classic would need to be brilliant indeed. Such diverse and beautifully written characters and such a delightful plot, so deeply rooted in a profound understanding of human nature, are timelessly attractive to directors, actors and audiences alike. So give them a break. you couldn't do any better.
Lets start with Mr Darcy. Darcys embodied by Olivier, Firth and now Matthew McFadyen bring differently significance to enjoy in the proud and socially awkward leading male role. Where Olivier and Firth gave us an aloof, arrogant Darcy encased rigidly in a shell so impenetrable it was almost impossible to believe he had been moved by Lizzie's sardonic criticisms or attracted by her spirited independence, McFadyen shows a more accessible Darcy. He's vulnerable, even fragile behind his stiff manners. His aloofness is more believably from social inadequacy than arrogance, yet he is believably constrained by his social standing to regard decorum, fortune and propriety in a wife's family as significant in his choice of a bride. His capitulation to Lizzie is therefore more believable.
Similarly Garson, Ehle and Keira Knightley illustrate the lively intelligence, sharp-minded wit and wry humour of Elizabeth Bennet in equally shining ways that nevertheless bring out different aspects of the character. Keira Knightly's performance as Elizabeth Bennett is by far her best, as she sparkles in this role.
The two have a chemistry that i had yet to see on the big or small screen - one that mirrors real life romances. the dislike on both accounts is obvious, watching it grow to love was beautiful and stunning. the love story is heart-felt and sweetly, deeply affecting to a level that modern romantic comedies rarely achieve. I found this movie to be a a richly photographed, memorable ensemble production in which the romance is predominant over the drama but does not eclipse it. though my one disappointment - the ending?! of course i wanted to see them kiss, who didn't? but the shots of them arguing in the rain, and as they draw close with the sunlight shining between them was breathtaking.
Giving due significance to the rural environment which plays such an important part in the story, the cinematography captures wide frames of soft, misty fields, copses and winding country roads as an environment which underscores the gentle manners and passionately beating hearts beneath empire gowns and ruffled shirts. The surroundings both detract from the humans and function as appropriately natural settings for the dramas of human nature.
Keira Knightley's swan-like Elizabeth moves with energy and grace, hotly opinionated and profoundly moved by principles and prejudices, and magnetically drawn by the seeming arrogance, reticence and gallant behaviour, finally revealed, of Mr Darcy. For two centuries Elizabeth Bennet has been a heroine much admired for her self-contained independence within a culture more conditioned to female submissiveness. Knightley's portrayal is true to the original.
All in all, i must give this movie 5 stars, 10 out of 10, 100 % brilliance. The story itself, the characters, the actors, everything that was in the movie 'bewitched me body and soul'. i have never been more moved by a movie, especially not one where i found it to be as hilarious as it was moving.
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
I went to see suspecting I would hate it, I did. Everything about it was wrong; it was like they were filming a different book. Granted the locations and houses very lovely (if not a little miscast-yes even the house were wrong for their parts) Keira was too modern, dull and frankly I found it unpleasant to watch her. Were everyone else sees Darcy as a sex god the writer of this saw him as sexually frustrated and inadequate. Bingley was stupid and dippy (he isn't meant to be) and the Bennett's were shown to be destitute and for some unknown reason farmers, this is incorrect and ludicrous. The very idea that Mr Bennett would answer the door in his night gear with the rest of the family dressed in their underwear to in the middle of the night is stupid. They had servants. Mr Collins was not repulsive and greasy merely stupid and obnoxious, Georgina Darcy was ugly and old and Miss Bingley wore a sleeveless dress, what! As if! It is Historically inaccurate and even the ending is unsatisfying. I could go on for days. I hated it so much as not only was it nothing like the book but I fear that for many people it will be their fist experience of this great novel and it will give them the worst possible idea of it. The BBC version is so superior it's not even funny and everything about this version is an insult to its memory. In short if you must see it be sure you have read the book first or seen the BBC version other wise you will be lead done the deluded road that this is what it's like, which its not!

Hello all, I currently drive a SRT 4. But am currently trying to sell it. Looking into a regular wrx or a evo. Depends on how much I get for it. But I am just joining to get some knowledge gathered up on these cars to help my choice. I am just wondering what are common problems to look for? How about maintenance ex timing belts, plugs and wire changes? Meaning how often. How much power can they safely make before doing damage. I probably would just do e85 exhaust intake and tune. I also hear some have motor problems? Help is appreciated thank you!
Ps im mainly looking for something that can be fun, yet a little bigger than the neon and more reliable since I am now a proud parent of a 11 month old(boy they grow fast!) I am looking into a evo because my friends seems much nicer for the family wise a lot of extra leg room and space for the car seat. (im a 6'0 230lb guy)
Just because other forums want pics pics pics! lol, heres some of the neon.

Free Coffee Pop-Up Mocks Starbucks' Culture [Pics]
LA pop-up store offers free coffee and pastries while it mocks the global coffee chain.
There are plenty of people who mock Starbucks and shun the establishment in favor of indie coffee shops, but none quite as openly as this particular store in Los Angeles. Dumb Starbucks Coffee is a pop-up shop that not only parodies the worldwide coffee chain, but also offers free coffee and pastries.
Apart from the social buzz created by ordinary people who came across the shop, it has also attracted the attention of a few celebrities such as Rainn Wilson from The Office. One barista, who was hired two weeks ago after he applied through a post on Craigslist, revealed to The Hollywood Reporter that the store's boss "wasn't prepared for all this," which is why the coffee shop is currently understaffed.
While the legal implications of this kind of store may seem unclear, there is a convenient FAQ that outlines how the store is able to operate. "Although we are a fully functioning coffee shop, for legal reasons Dumb Starbucks needs to be categorized as a work of parody art. So, in the eyes of the law, our "coffee shop" is actually an art gallery and the "coffee" you're buying is actually the art. But that's for our lawyers to worry about. All you need to do is enjoy our delicious coffee!"
While Starbucks is aware of the store, it would appear they haven't taken any action as of yet.

Help!!! Drum Brakes!
I have a 1979 3/4 ton pickup and the brake drums will no come off. My manual doesn't explain very well about removing drums to replace brake shoes. These drums are on there good. How do I get them off?! thanks in advance,
They are probably rusted there solid... take a big hammer and give her all she's got till it comes loose again... if they come loose and still cant pull them out... your drum is probably worn and there is a edge on the friction surface inside your drum that keeps you from pulling her out. Now you have to loosen the brake pads inside the drum by maybe bleeding the brake or there may be a rubber plug behind the back plate of your drum where you can reach a adjuster screw. loosen it and you may be able to pull the drum out .
If they feel loose but just won't come off then take a brake spoon and let off on your brake adjusters...you may have a lip worn on your brake drum that is hanging up on the shoes. If it does not feel loose at all..then tap around the drum with a shop hammer and try to break it loose.
re: Help!!! Drum Brakes!
where exactly is the brake adjuster on the drum? And, do I have to remove that bolt on the top of the drum above the axle, and the 2 smaller bolts below it when removing the drum? If this is important at all...these drums are big(I think 13 inch) due to it being a 3/4 ton.
This is a 79 2WD SW (Single Wheel) and you are working on the rear drums, correct?
you may have to use some heat around the wheel studs, while someone prys with screw driver on drum edges
drum brakes
yes, this is a 2wd 3/4 ton pickup with a full floating axle.
wd-40 + big hammer?
drum brakes!!!!
Ok, I found the problem to why I can't remove the drum. The drum turns freely and it moves in and out about a 1/2 inch. The reason it only moves a 1/2 of an inch in and out, is because this damn front piece that the wheel studs go through is keeping the drum from coming off. It almost seems impossible to replace brake shoes on a 3/4 ton pickup. How to you get the drum off, if this circle wheel stud thing is keeping it from coming off? How do you get brake drums off of a 3/4 ton?!!!???!!!!
thanks in advance,
sounds to me like your floating axle is whipping your axle. Take the ring of bolts out of the end of the axle and remove axle. Inside the hole there are two large spanner nuts and a retainer on the spindle. Remove these and slide the drum and carrier assembly off the spindle. Don't drop the outer bearing in the dirt.
re: Help!!! Drum Brakes!
From what my manual says, I have to remove the axle shafts and a couple of things in the hub itself. Some type of nut requires the use of a special tool. All this to get the damn drum off to replace shoes. I should have bought a 1/2 ton. :D The brake drum removal section of the manual says "For all models, the drum can be simply removed by pulling the drum off. Yeah right, for half tons maybe. Then I read on to the drivetrain section. Removal of hub assembly to remove brake drum. Has anyone here ever replaced brake shoes on a full floating axle?
re: Help!!! Drum Brakes!
KULTULZ, The peice I'm referring to is on the outside of the hub itself. The wheel studs come out of the drum, then through this guide(circle piece). The stud guide peice is keeping my drum from coming off. If this piece was off, then I could easly slide the drum off the hub.

Oconee Memorial Hospital, Seneca, SC
PURPOSE: Cor pulmonale is the pulmonary arterial hypertension (PHT) caused by diseases affecting the structure and/or the function of the lungs leading to right ventricular hypertrophy (RVH), dilatation or both. The main objective of this research is to identify the relationship between COPD and cor pulmonale through an empirical study.
METHODS: Pulmonary function test (PFT) records of a patient group of year 2005 were reviewed and 203 patients with FEV1/FVC% less than 70% were identified. The following data were obtained from the PFT records: patient demographics, exposure to tobacco-smoke measured in pack-years, FEV1%, and FEV1/FVC%. According to their Medical records; 61/203pts have been undergone transthoracic echocardiography evaluation during year 2004-2005. The pulmonary arterial systolic pressure (PASP), presence or absence of RVH and/or dilatation, left ventricular ejection fraction, left atrial and ventricular morphology data were abstracted from echocardiography results. PASP greater than 30mmHg defined as PHT. Records were further searched to exclude comorbid conditions known to cause PHT including sleep apnea, restrictive pulmonary disease, pulmonary embolism, portal hypertension, collagen vascular disease, and systemic hypertension. According to the severity of COPD described in GOLD classification, patients were classified into four-groups: 1) FEV1%≥80, 2) 50≤FEV1%<80, 3) 30≤FEV1%<50, and 4) FEV1%<30.
RESULTS: Out of 203 patients (mean age 64), 54% were male and most were heavy smokers (mean 31.88pack-years). The 61 patients who had echocardiography reports showed mean FEV1% of 58.18. Out of 61 patients 40 had findings suggestive of underlying heart pathology with mean age of 68. 21/61 had COPD without co-morbid cardiac conditions, among them only 3 (mean FEV1% 71.66) had PHT (mean 33mmHg) without any additional cause of pulmonary pressure elevation. Total of 14/61 had PHT. 11/14(78.57%) had a heart pathology. 8/11(72.73%) had PASP > 40mmHg.
CONCLUSION: Cor pulmonale is uncommon even among patients with advanced COPD.
CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: When PHT is diagnosed in patients with COPD another etiology should be investigated. Left ventricular hypertrophy and diastolic dysfunction may be the major underlying etiology in an aging population.

Ok so it's confession time. I don't cook most nights of the week. GASP. I mean seriously- between driving nearly three hours a day for work, working 9 or so hours AT work, and barre and runs- I just can't. I really enjoy sleep. And reading. And relaxing.
I've made no secret here that the last few weeks have been crazy for me. G and I have been gearing up for a big vacation, which has meant a lot of extra hours working to ensure we each leave our workloads in a good place before we escape (more to come later I promise).
The thing about eating healthy is that it doesn't have to be a chore. Not everyone loves to slave over a hot stove (I guess I am a freak?). The thing is- you don't always have to.
I think I've said it quite a few times here. I adore breakfast. Seriously, brunch, breakfast, any meal that includes eggs, breakfast meats, pastries, coffee, and tea is a meal that I will run to.
I even eat breakfast for dinner. No shame here. Despite my love for posting recipes, I don't cook most nights. Normally, I have meals prepared ahead of time. But recently, G and I have been kitchen slackers. We have had no. damn. time. So instead, we had eggs for dinner two nights in a row. And it was so delicious I had to share it.
Night One- Mexican Eggs. Excuse the iphone photo- I didn't break out the pretty camera for this. I was lucky to snap a photo before I dove in post barre class.
This meal was delicious and literally took five minutes to prepare. I just quickly toasted a high fiber tortilla and a jalapeno, topped the tortilla with some crushed black beans, 2 slices of Boar's Head mesquite turkey, an over easy egg, a scoop of salsa, and a dollop of plain chobani mixed with chipotle hot sauce. It was fast and scrumptious.
Night two we went Greek.
This egg specimen had the same base- a toasted high fiber tortilla. I topped this with a greek black bean burger I made a few weeks ago and froze. You can find the delicious recipe over at the Lean Green Bean– delicious!. I topped it with an over easy egg, some chopped tomato and red onions, and a sprinkle of chopped parsley.
Both meals clocked in at under 10 minutes to prepare and under 300 calories. Not bad for a filling, yummy meal.

Memories of Beverley
I was head boy for a couple of years in the mid 50's. I played rugby for the school and my younger brother David (Dai) played soccer (he died in 2004). My father was in the RAF at Leconfield.

Is there anybody else here who still has to think up names? We don't have anything. I mean absolutely nothing! We don't know what it is, so have to come up with one of each, but neither of us has any names that we even remotely like! We go through some of those name sites and come up with nothing. I know I've got a couple months to go, but it's beginning to make me nervous!
we have a boys name (but only because it's what we would have named dd if she'd been a boy).
we have no ideas if the little one is a girl. well, we tossed around a few names, but don't love anything (not as much as we loved dd's name when we came up with it). dh is kinda stressing about it. i'm trying not to and said to him, "let's just wait until the baby's born. perhaps she'll (if it's a girl, of course) just tell us her name." he didn't like that at all.
mother is a verb
We hadn't talked about it in a long time until last weekend. Then we came up with a list of about 5 names that we quickly narrowed down to two names for a girl that we agree upon. I'm not super excited about either yet. My husband loves Zoe and I'm trying to let it grow on me. We both kept Rylee on the list too. So it would be either...
Zoe Elaine
Rylee (or Riley) Elaine
And if we're surprised with a boy instead of the girl we think it is...
We don't have a middle name for a boy, but we're pretty sure this is a girl. Does anyone else think either girls names go better with the other kids' names: Jacob, Max, and Ella?
It may just be a matter of seeing the baby. When Max was born I instantly knew he was a "Max", not "Colin" which is the name we had picked earlier.
Anxious to hear everyone else's picks!
Mom to 5 amazing kids! (DS10, DS8, DD5, DD3 and DS1)
We are using the name we saved for 8 years that would have been DS's had he been a she. That was an easy one. If she was a boy we'd have been in trouble, LOL.
oooh, i was thinking of starting a new name thread since most people would have their picks narrowed down by now!
silversage - if we were having a boy, we would probably be in the same boat as you! i find boys names so difficult. the ones i like are super popular or taken by someone close to us. but girls names are so easy to me... the difficult part is choosing!
we're going with Carys York or Elena York although we won't make a final decision until we meet her. i'm pretty sure she'll be a Carys though... it's dh's first choice and i'm just feeling like she'll be a carys over an elena :)
(York is my MIL's maiden name and dh's middle name. MIL only had sisters so the name has almost died out in his family)
if we're surprised with a boy, then we'll probably go with the name dh told me he wanted to name a son not long after i met him... it's sooo popular, especially around here, but unless we think up something else we can agree on on short notice, he'll be Ethan York.
happily married mama to DD1 4/08, 12/31/09, and DD2 5/11
I have been telling people Pedro Jose Julio for a boy and he can pick his own middle name at 5 bc I have ZERO ideas for a boy!!
Prudence for a girl Prue or Prudy for short and she will pick her own middle name out at 5.
Am I crazy that I put names on this forum? Is it a kidnapping worry that people have?
We're having an insanely hard time with names. DH and I are on totally opposite ends of the spectrum when it comes to names we like for a boy. We sort-of agreed on a list but I'm not in love with any of them and at this point I think he's stopped caring as much. I keep telling myself that when we meet him the name will come to me but our cat has been nameless for 2 years (well.. now he goes by kitty) and DH has fears the same thing will happen if we don't pick something before he is born. I joked that I could go the berenstein bears route and call him "brother"
If we would have had a girl the name would have been easy, we had 2 names that we loved.
We could only agree on one boys name, James, for my son so that was easy.
Our girls name for him was Eleanor (or Elinor) Beatrix. We have both liked that since we were dating. Now there is a little girl in our small church a few months younger than my son with the same name so husband is worried about popularity. Catherine is our second choice.
For boys we are fighting over George or Gregory. He has vetoed all my other names, many for being too Norman. I prefer George, him Gregory. He worries George and James are too stuffy together, too American President. I like Gregory but not so much Greg.
Mama to J (Jan '09), E (May '11), and C (August, '13)
Professional Cloth Diaper at Diaper Lab in Boston (ask me about laundry)
We finally agreed on Elliot Marie..yes, that's a girl. I like it because there's so few girls named Elliot! When we picked our son's name, I didn't think it was that popular at the time, but apparently it was.. his name's Ethan.
DH(9/04) DS(12/08) and DD(5/11)
We have our lists from previous pregnancies, but I am finding DH progressively harder to deal with on names with each pregnancy. This time, he's not even sure he likes our stand-by girl name that we picked with pregnancy #1 and carried through the next pregnancy as well (and I still love best out of all our girl picks). And boy names, well those are hard because we've already used up two favorite names, and we feel like there aren't that many left on the list that we like a whole lot. We use Irish names so it limits it a bit more than just any name on the planet. I figure it's going to come down to baby day and tears on my part, to be honest. I let go of my preferred name for DS2 (in hindsight, the name we ended up using is so suited to him, of course I can't imagine him as a Seamus now!), so I kind of anticipate DH will go along with my choice this time, provided it's not totally out of left field :P

Tired of being thrust onto the front lines of the nation's debate over guns, Starbucks is asking customers to leave firearms behind when they are in its stores and its outdoor seating areas.
The policy change came on the heels of a shooting rampage at the Washington Naval Yard on Monday that left 13 people, including the gunman, dead, but Starbucks said its decision was not in response to that or to the shooting spree that killed 26 children and adults at the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., last year.
"I've spent a significant amount of personal time on this issue in the last several months and I've seen the emotionally charged nature of this issue and how polarizing it is on both sides," Howard Schultz, the chief executive of Starbucks, said in a telephone interview. "Nevertheless, customers in many stores have been jarred and fairly uncomfortable to see guns in our stores, not understanding the issue and feeling that guns should not be part of the Starbucks experience, especially when small kids are around."

What type of cam has the least chance of failing?
I'm gong to exclude roller cams from this, because we all know they usually don't fail.
In the last 6-7 years I've had a few cams go flat on me in diffeent engnes, all of them being smallblock Chevy's. All of them except my current one being hydraulic. I've had two Comp Cams go flat and two Elgin cams go flat. My current cam is an Elgin mechanical #1091. None of the cams have been too radical, all being around .480-.500 lift.
I've done all of the proper break in procedures to insure good life. None of the cams failed instantly, it always took a few months to a year before I knew.
My current Elgin cam isn't flat yet, it has two lifters that aren't spinning. the cam has around 5 hours run time. I've pulled the cam out and the wear pattern on the two lobes and two lifters is different than the rest.
I'm thinking about going with a cam with slower ramps. I've heard the house brand cams from Summit and Jeg's have these. One cam I'm looking at is #1107. It's the same as the Performer RPM cam. I've heard this cam is old school technology and doesn't make much power. At this point I'm not worried about making big power, I want a cam that will actually last beyond break in.
Is cams with slower ramps better? Are hydraulic cams a better choice too for longer life? I know the XE cams and VooDoo cams make big power, but they are also harder on the valvetrain.
Any help would be appreciated,
This was discussed a BUNCH in the past here on HR. I can't remember the thread(s).
You didn't mention ZDDP additive in your oil. Oil nowadays is formulated for roller engines, since that's what 99.9 percent are anymore.
Could oils have been your problem?
Spring rates on break-in?
Not trying to jump down your throat, but I feel you are doing something wrong - spring rates, ZDDP content, lifter bore fit and finish, quality of lifters, valvetrain geometry, break-in procedure, coil bind, retainer to guide and/or seal clearance, rocker slot length, something is amiss. In over 35 SBC engines I've yet to lose a cam, hydraulics or solids. Can't be that I am just lucky.
Nothing very fast about most of the Elgin lobes.
I use nothing but Valvoline Race Oils and a good moly lube on the lifters and lobes.
Only flattened cams I have ever seen were a couple of late 70's Chevy factory 305 and 350, two incorrectly broke-in BBC Comp Cams Magnum Hydraulic cams(one idled from start for just a minute or two at a time, one with big double springs and didn't remove the inners), and an incorrectly broke in SBC Elgin Solid(interference in the valvetrain).
Does seem to be a lot of people who seem to have problems though .
For a street engine, the OEMs haven't used flat tappets for 25 years, there's a message in that.
I have always built flat tappet engines that don't have a factory camshaft thrust plate using the thrust button intended for aftermarket roller cams to take the thrust. It's not a fool proof solution, but it does relieve the lobe to lifter interface of the thrust loads and usually improves the lobe/lifter wear situation from enough to be noticeable to forever.
Standard Chevy flat tappet blocks can be converted to use OEM roller cams by using the roller lifters from the 60 degree V6 engines which are short enough to slip into the shorter lifter blocks of older engines. The main oil galley is drilled 1/16th larger in diameter and is then top drilled and tapped to accept the bolts that hold the spider. This is adjusted for height with washers. The bolts need Permatex thread sealer to prevent leaks. On these bolts I like to remove the threads that would locate inside the oil galley to simply provide less interference to oil flow, which is adequate. The pushrods will be normal Chevy flat tappet length instead of the shorter OEM V8 roller pushrods. The cam thrust is requires some work if you're using a GM OEM cam that expects a thrust plate. You'll have to buy the trust plate and the single row roller timing set (space limits the timing set depth) You cut the thrust plate into round object and place it on the cam nose as a spacer and thrust carrier. So it's OD is sized to ride on the blocks thrust surface. Then attach the timing gear, its thrust surface will contact the modified thrust plate. Then use a nylon thrust button, you will have to shorten this, otherwise it's set up just like a conventional thrust button. However, before you do that, test the timing cover for chain and gear clearance. Often the metal timing covers won't clear without an extra gasket the use of which will influence the cut length of the thrust button.
If you use a factory roller cam, you've got to watch for the presence of the fuel pump cam, not all have them since EFI engines use an electric pump and the fuel pump cam isn't needed. A roller cam does not use the steel pump shaft of regular cams in the older engines. This requires a brass or composite tipped shaft. Same for the distributor gear, the factory uses what's called a Melonized gear otherwise it's a brass or composire gear and if an aftermarket distributor for sure its brass or composite to fit the half inch shaft of those units.
Whew, given how many roller small block Chevy's are out there, the best solution is simply a factory roller block.
Thanks in advance.
When using the shorter V6 or L4 OEM Roller Lifters you need 7.500" Pushrods. Stock OEM V8 Roller Pushrods are 7.200", Flat Tappet Pushrods are 7.800", Retrofit Roller Lifter Pushrods are 7.300".
I don't drill the oil Gallery larger. I use Studs with a Jamnut then epoxy it to the top of the Gallery & washers for spacers. Stud threads don't protrude into oil path this way. So far so good.
There are also Crane retro hydraulic rollers that use 7.046" p-rods. Prolly not seen much anymore, but they were fairly common back a few years.
I don't believe I'm doing anything wrong. I used Delo 400 motor oil, a bottle of ZDDP, used the grey break in lube, not the red runny stuff, primed the engine, and took out the inner springs on my Dart heads. I don't have any clearance issues because the heads are good for .600 lift and I'm running .500 lift cams. I also ran the engine for over half an hour at 2-3000 rpm.
One thing I'm going to do is run a wheel cylinder hone down my lifter bores and see if that helps.
I did see a kit on Ebay that is suppose to convert your non roller block to a roller. I don't anyone that has ever tried it.
My last cam to fail before the Elgin was a Comp Cams XE284. I've talked to several that have had bad luck with the XE line.
Thanks for your tme and help
being that the heads are set-up for .600" and you are running 500" cams are the seat and open pressures correct for the cams you have?
also I read somewhere that the guy who designed the Voodoo cams broke a looong standing rule about the lift to duration and ramp speeds to gain an edge on the competition and them he either did some stuff for comp cams or they just followed suite to keep up in the horsepower wars. It's been a while so I'm not sure how accurate that is.
I can only recall one cam going flat on me and that was around 14 years ago but I went to rollers and haven't looked back, but as far as "fail proof" flat tappets that preform well I'm always fond of the old "Duntov 30-30" cams. They have very slow ramps and a good amount of duration, sound great and perform decent. If you look at them don't let the big duration numbers fool you, they are a large lash cam that really gives up a lot of the duration to that lash and slow ramp rates, comparable to a modern 236* @ 050" hyd cam, but easily capable of 7000 rpm in a 350.
If I was forced to pick ONE flat tappet cam for the rest of my life to run in a SBC it would be #1.
Isnt Delo 400 a 15-40 synth blend? All flat tappets fail from all manufactures and the problems range from block core shift, lifter geometry,oil types( mostly low zinc contents and the use of synth), cam lobe tapper, lifter crown, and on and on and on. High seat pressures are no where near as hard on a cam as the open loads. I have even seen flaking rod bearings in sbc's take out a cam lobe or two.. sorry not much of an answer in this but I would look at oil during brake in and total spring pressure at max lift.

You can say what you want about oils, but Have you noticed almost all failures have been the bread-and-butter production cams with the white box lifters? I always wonder why the manufacturer's custom grinds have basically no problems? Probably premium cam cores not imported from China. Too many failures from builders that went 20+ years without a failure, and they too are experiencing ruined lobes and lifters in the last year or so. Seems like I haven't heard of any Crower cams going flat, but maybe I'm hanging with the wrong crowd. Roller lifters are the cure, but at a big price tag.
Oh yea, most cam manufacturers don't recommend synthetic oil with their flat tappets - the synthetic is a little to slick and the lifters have a tendency to stop rotating. Doesn't take long for even a good cam and lifter set to be destroyed if the lifter sits in the same spot for long.
Thanks for all of the replies.
I'm going to double check everything before I do my break in with a new cam. I'm also going to install my new cam, drop in the lifters, and then spin the cam over by hand and see if the lifters turn. That way if I see a problem I can fix it before I go any further.
I'm sure my seat pressure is alot during break in, but thats why I take out my inner springs. I ran it for over 2 hours before I put the inners back in. I would think after that the cam would be broke in good.
Thanks again
Seat pressure isn't the problem for the cam, it is over-the-nose pressure that kills the lobe. When the valve is close to the seat(or on the seat) the lifter is on the heel of the lobe, therefor pressure is low. The recommended minimum seat pressure is to prevent valve bounce on returning to the seat(which kills power), while it is over-the-nose pressure too high that kills the camshaft.
Even though you springs are "good to .600" lift" (I detest companies listing them like this, it gets people in trouble)and you are only running .500 lift, the spring rate may well be too high for the cam to survive when you reinstall the inner spring.
Do you know all the spring specs- seat pressure @ 'xxx' height, open pressure @ 'xxx' height, coil bind height, spring rate??

All of the recomendations are good, but here are te three things taht I think you need to check and recheck, some have already been mentioned:
#1 spring rate and CLOSED pressure.
#2 Oil, and oiling system, make sure you use the good stuff and its flowing with no debris
#3, here's a big one for block's with multiple failures- HONE YOUR LIFTER BORES. If your lifters aren't turning you can try swapping them around to get them all spinning (on installation but before break in), but before you even go taht far hone them with a ball hone or small brake cylinder hone.
Elgin cams have really mild lobes, if multiple cams are failing its very likely an error on your behalf. Its okay to make an error so long as you learn from it and correct it.

27-4A outside the box
Published 9:10 pm, Saturday, August 18, 2012
Best bet
Kerrville Tivy: New coach David Jones has some big shoes to fill following Mark Smith's 52-15 record and two state semifinal appearances over the past five seasons. If QB Parks McNeil and WR Tyler Ahrens connect, the Antlers will be fine.
Dark horse
Alamo Heights: Another school with a new coach, expect Mike Norment to keep the Mules on a similar path. He's been at Heights for 16 seasons, after all, joining the staff in Don Byrd's second year as head coach.
Chan's take
Mark Smith is wearing red now, but the Antlers will go on without him. Playoff bound: Kerrville Tivy, Boerne Champion, Alamo Heights, Hays
Sports Channel
Hurtik's take
Tivy Fight comes out on top in the area's tightest title race. Playoff bound: Kerrville Tivy, Alamo Heights, Boerne Champion, Hays
@mysahighschools asks
Which 27-4A team will adjust best to a new coach?
@TheJakeVela Tivy ... They already have their hometown support along with their motto (TFND), having a new coach will be a minor effect.
By the numbers
1 - Margin of victory in Alamo Heights' 21-20 win against Boerne Champion in the first round of the 2011 4A Division II playoffs. Skylar Nelson blocked an extra point with 54 seconds left for the victory.
1,885 - Clemens' enrollment, a jump of 322 students from 1,563 in 2010. The number is the highest at Clemens since neighboring Steele opened in 2005. The rise in numbers could boost the Buffaloes' program, which missed the playoffs the past two seasons.

Japan Post Bank plans to start in-house investments in stocks in the second half of 2016, according to Katsunori Sago, the bank's vice president in charge of asset management.
The bank's policy for more diversified and sophisticated asset management "will not be affected" by the recent slump of stock prices, Sago said in a recent interview.
"We need to take care not to let buying opportunities slip by" due to fears of investment risks, he said.
Japan Post Bank, the banking unit of Japan Post Holdings Co., plans to diversify investment targets to boost returns amid very low interest rates.
At the end of September 2015, the bank had approximately ¥205 trillion in assets under management, of which Japanese government bonds accounted for 45.2 percent. It makes stock investments through consignment to trust banks, but has stopped short of in-house investments due to lack of qualified personnel and computer systems.
"We hope to increase the number of employees involved in asset management by at least 30 percent in the next 18 months to two years" from the current level of about 100, Sago said.
Sago joined Japan Post Bank as vice president in June 2015, after serving as vice president and vice chairman of Goldman Sachs Japan Co.
In the interview, Sago said the balance of the bank's satellite portfolio, made up of corporate debt, stocks and foreign securities, will likely reach ¥60 trillion during fiscal 2016, which starts in April, ahead of its goal of the end of fiscal 2017.
The target balance, up from ¥48 trillion at the end of fiscal 2014, could be achieved by the end of March this year, depending on market conditions, he said.
Japan Post Bank plans to start private equity investments by the end of March at the earliest and no later than June, he said.
Sago expressed a positive attitude to working with regional banks to establish regional revitalization funds. Japan Post Bank is in talks with regional lenders, but none of them is close to an agreement, he said.
