In a sign of the times, a Midwest also-ran with a liking for Polytrack came west to win the $1-million Pacific Classic (gr. I) (VIDEO) at Del Mar Aug. 19. Student Council, recently purchased by Ro Parra's Millennium Farms to run in the 1 1/4-mile test, vanquished Lava Man and upset a large field at odds of 23-1 before a crowd of 35,320.
Richard Migliore rode the 5-year-old Kingmambo horse, who was previously trained by Neil Howard for for breeder/owner William Farish, and transferred to the barn of Vladimir Cerin. Student Council's only previous stakes win came in the Maxxim Gold Cup at Sam Houston in January. He finished second in the Razorback Handicap (gr. III) in his best graded race showing in his next start March 9.
"We know he likes Polytrack," Cerin said after Student Council defeated the late-trying Awesome Gem by a half-length. Student Council has now won three of his five starts on synthetic surfaces. "Neil Howard did a great job with this horse," Cerin added.
Eager to win the Pacific Classic after his Super Frolic finished third last year and fifth in 2005, Parra bought Student Council on Aug. 10 for an undisclosed price.
The horse was then shipped from Saratoga to Del Mar, where Cerin gave him a few gallops over the new Polytrack surface.
"I'm taking credit for not ruining him in the short time I've had him," said Cerin.
The winning time, 2:07 1/5, was eight seconds off the 17-year Pacific Classic mark set by Candy Ride on the old dirt track in 2003.
The crowd turned out to see Lava Man attempt to complete a sweep of Southern California's richest races -- the Santa Anita Handicap (gr. I), the Hollywood Gold Cup (gr. I) and the 1 1/4-mile Pacific Classic -- for a second year in a row. The California-bred 6-year-old gelding was hammered to odds of 6-5 while trying to overcome a difficult rail post.
After breaking well, Corey Nakatani took Lava Man back to race along the inside as A.P. Xcellent and Hello Sunday went to the front. Nakatani angled Lava Man to the outside heading into the clubhouse turn, and they rated behind the leaders through splits of :24 4/5, :49 3/5 and 1:14 4/5. As the crowd roared, Lava Man moved to the front-runners at the quarter pole, but no sooner had he popped his head in front coming into the stretch than he was tackled on the outside by Student Council, who roared to the lead under Migliore. Student Council opened a two-length lead in the stretch but had to hold off the late charge of Awesome Gem, ridden by David Flores, closing on the far outside.
"This win means so many things to me on so many levels," Migliore said. "You don't know how hard it has been for me to come out here (from New York) and ride and leave my family behind. But they are all here with me today, and this is so sweet.
"Vlad said this horse was doing well," Migliore said. "He's very well bred. And coming from the Neil Howard barn, I knew he'd be good. This horse was just so professional and classy today. Turning for home I was feeling good, but I knew I had Lava Man with me. I couldn't be sure. But he kept on going. So sweet."
"I thought I was going to catch (Student Council) at the end," Flores said of the runner-up. "But (the winner) shifted out a little bit and I had to go out, too. But he ran great."
Hello Sunday, ridden by Brice Blanc, finished third, 4 1/2 lengths behind the winner.
Lava Man fought on through the stretch, but it was clear that this was not the day for the sentimental favorite, a winner of more than $5.1 million in his career. He faded to sixth.
"He tried hard," Nakatani said. "But he was struggling a bit out there. He wasn't really getting the track."
Under the Breeders' Cup Challenge series format, Student Council has earned a spot in the Breeders' Cup Classic - Powered by Dodge (gr. I) at Monmouth Park Oct. 27. But Cerin was taking it slowly.
"We have to assess the whole situation," he said. "Everybody wants to win the Breeders' Cup Classic. We tried it once before with Super Frolic (with Parra), who finished fourth. But this was a great, great win."
Student Council won for the sixth time in 21 starts and boosted his earnings to $852,731 after winning $600,000 for his new connections. In his last start for Howard, Student Council ran second -- beaten a head -- in a 1 1/16-mile allowance/optional claiming race at Churchill Downs July 8. That was his first start in more than three months.
The winner paid $48.80, $31.80 and $20.60. Awesome Gem, who was coming off a second-place finish in the San Diego Handicap (gr. II) over the surface July 21, returned $12.40 and $8.20, completing a $355.29 exacta. Hello Sunday, one of two in the race for six-time Pacific Classic winner Bobby Frankel, was $9.40 to show.
Arson Squad finished fourth, followed by Big Booster, Lava Man, Porfido, Albertus Maximus, A.P. Xcellent, Time Squared, Salty Humor and Sun Boat. Tiago scratched.
Del Mar set a single-day record with a wagering total of $24,642,601, bettering the 2005 Pacific Classic day mark of $24,004,733.

A Craigslist For Unwanted Items Left On The Street
Trashswag helps people find salvageable materials like lumber or furniture that others have thrown out.
People often leave old furniture and other items on the street instead of selling or disposing of them. 'Trashswag,' a Toronto-based company, aims to help people in the area discover unwanted materials they might find useful.
The crowdmap enables people to share and post salvageable items that have been left outside so others can find and collect them. You can report items by using the iPhone or Android apps, sending an email, tweeting with the hashtag #trashswag, or filling out a form on the website.
You just take a photo, add some information, and pin it to a map showing its location. You can also sign up to receive email alerts when new items are posted in your area. The site features items such as tables, chairs, panels, doors, timber, bricks, etc., with almost 100 reports listed. Trashswag's founder, Doug Firr, told Wired:
I was working on a project with some artists in Toronto and we would text each other picture messages of found materials along with the address or intersection, and it got tricky because once you start paying attention you become aware of how much stuff is actually left on the curb… It started out between me and my friends and as it's growing I'm still figuring out what it will become. At its core, it's for people who love the idea that one person's trash is another person's treasure.

Ditto...the same thing would happen if you were carrying the same things mentioned in an SUV...and if the bowling ball was in the back seat of your sedan...and the car flipped...your cranium could still be cracked regardless if your car was a sedan or a Touring.
The Tourings provide the same driving experience as the sedan owners EXCEPT we have the ability to haul more of life's stuff around when needed. And that can be for whatever season of life one may be in. As previously mentioned...the wagon can get you off to college, into your off campus apartment, into your first job and apartment after graduation, then onto your new home etc. You can easily haul stuff home that would NOT fit into the sedan...like small appliances, gas grills, lawn mowers...or if your a musician and need to hall around amps or drums or keyboards...or if you are into photography and need to haul your equipment around. The Touring offers utility that the sedan just doesn't offer.
A Touring may not be for everyone...but for those who don't want a truck/SUV and prefer a car but still would like the utility...this is the perfect vehicle for them. I remember the first time I drove an e39 Touring...it was during a Susan B Koman Drive for the Cure event. As I was driving the course...I realized that the Touring was one of the favorite drives of the day...and I laughed as I looked in the rear view mirror and thought to myself...I would never know that I was driving a wagon until I looked in the rear view mirror and could see the cargo area.
After owning an e34 525iT for a few years...I finally got my e39 540iT...and I couldn't care less that many have a disdain for wagons...I LOVE my Touring! It works perfectly for what I need it for.
(loaded up to do some work at my rental property)
(ready to fight the urban jungle as a DD...just like any 540i sedan)

I have a 3 month old puppy. I was wondering at what age most puppies stop growing
I have a 3 month old puppy. I was wondering at what age most puppies stop growing
Carey~mom to Parker, Emma and Gabi
and my 4 legged baby Stella
i heard that puppies stop growing up at around 8 months and start filling out then, unless they are a giant breed and i heard that they aren't fully grown until about 2 years!
i am curious about this too since i have an 8 1/2 month old puppy!
Depends on the individual dog and the breed. Mal grew until about 20 months and he's far from a giant breed (60-some pound collie). Kaylee, his sister, was full height by 14 months. Lizzie, who has just turned a year (spitz) is beginning to fill out so I suspect she's reached her full height. Toy breeds typically mature earlier than larger dogs. Giant breeds- like IWs can continue to grow well into their second year and a friend of mine has an IW boy who isn't mature yet at 3 and a half!
APBTs don't fully mature till about 2yrs or so ....more then a few owners have told me their dogs kept growing till then as well.
My Boston seemed to stop somewhere around 18 months..my pug was around the same time too....18mo
The growth rate is dependant on two things - size and breed
Small breeds - under 20lbs full grown - will be skeletaly done growing at 8 months, with adult muscle developed by 10 months
Medium breeds - 20lbs to 50lbs full grown - will be skeletaly done growing at 12 months, with adult muscle developed by 16 months
Large & Giant breeds - 60lbs and up - will be skeletaly done growing at 18-22 months with adult muscle being formed by 30 months
Now the trouble with this is that there are always breeds that are on the cusp of small / medium breed. Or on the cusp of medium/large breed so this is just a guideline, and this guideline is meant to, mainly, suggest when full athleticism should be pushed.
ie - a beagle can be as small as 18lbs and as large as 40 depending on breeding - so for them, although they are on the cusp, their breeds growth rate is that of a medium breed.
And boxers - they can be as small as 35lbs and as large as 90lbs, but their growth rate is that of a large breed, so should be fed and exercised as such.
For example - my Miniature Pinscher showed amazing potential as an agility dog by 5 months, but we did not introduce any of the real equpiment until he was about 10 months, and started getting him into shape that way. I didn't want to push too hard on soft bones and open joints.
Where as my Boxer X Rottie cross, at 7 months, still has another year before she can try any agility equipment for the first time!
Meghan&Pedro, thank you for the information! it was very informative.
Good question, I was wondering the same thing.
I have a friend who has a catahoula/ heeler mix. I used to go hiking quite often with the dog. She was a perfect hiking dog - big enough to climb hard mountains, and hardy enough to climb glaciers and snowfields. At the end of the day you could pick her up and hold her upside down in your arms and rub her belly, or she could sit in your lap after dinner. She was four years old at the time.
My friend left town for a while, and I did not see the dog for a year and a half. The dog stayed at different people's homes for a while, sometimes getting good exercise and sometimes being a couch dog. I saw her a couple weeks ago, and did not recognize her. She did not just gain weight - she got taller, longer, thicker, and even her face got longer. I had no idea a dog could change that much after four years.
Willie, our awesome blue heeler puppy
I kept a growth chart for my Golden Retriever/Lab mix. He's 14 months old now and 61 lbs & 25 in. in height.
He leveled off at this weight and height at 10 months.
Somebody told me that to find out what size your dog will be, you take their weight at 5 months and double it. Anybody know if that is true?
Casey (10 months) and Roy (11 years)
Lloyd is almost 2 (will be in december) and he just seemed to have stopped growing. He was full height probably around 10 months, but then he got wider and filled out.
Standard rule that I have gone by that they stop growing up at 15 mths and then will mature(widen etc) and by 3 yrs done except for the rascals that get fat. This does not means all dogs keep growing till 15 mths as all dogs will do their own thing it just means none will get taller after 15 mths.
Dinosaur Dog Trainer
ioreks_mom you're very welcome
It's neat to see some of the other ideas and theory's that other people have come up with. I've never heard of some of them!
I've always been taught it's strictly by breed's growth rate and mom & dad's sizing.
And one interesting thing for the person talking about the catalouah : "Disturbed release of growth hormone in mature dogs: a comparison with congenital growth hormone deficiency"
That's a neat article. Probably nothing to do with the dog in your story, but that might explain some dogs that continue to grow for longer periods of time than others?
this makes me so happy....i was under the impression that dogs were fully grown at 6months..don't know why i thought that.. but anyhow my pup is 4 months old weighs 26lbs. she is about 15-18inches at the shoulders....i know she is germanshepherd and husky..but i keep getting worried she was also something else pretty small and wasn't going to get very big.. i'm a huge fan of big dogs! so i'm happy to hear that she'll keep growing. (:P i'll love her every bit as much if she doesn't grown any too )
I have a 5 month old yorkie-poodle mix and she's 2.6 lbs. Does anyone know approximately when she will reach her adult size? Right now, she has a poodle body length and short yorkie legs. Cute as heck.
It really depends...
Feeding also plays a big role in a dogs growth.
I had a rottweiler that wasn't done growing until his 2 1/2 years.
And my Siberian Husky is 9 months old and i still think he should be bigger.

Joe Nichols, Rascal Flatts, Steve Azar & Josh Gracin Release New Music Today!
With the holiday shopping season just weeks away, there is no shortage of new music from some of country music's biggest names, with new projects from Joe Nichols, Rascal Flatts, Josh Gracin and Steve Azar hitting stores and digital retailers today (Nov. 8).
With the album's lead single, 'Take It Off,' nearing the Top 20, Joe Nichols has released 'It's All Good,' his seventh studio album. On his latest project, Joe tells The Boot, "I want to bring a traditional sound into 2011 and 2012, to keep it faithful and make sure we're still connecting with today's listener … On every album, we're looking for hit singles, but every time out I want to satisfy the artistic part of my soul, too."
Since their debut a decade ago, Rascal Flatts have become one of country music's premier touring acts, selling more than six million concert tickets. Fan can share in the trio's stage show experience with 'The Best of Rascal Flatts,' the band's first live album. Released by their former label home, Lyric Street Records/Hollywood Records, the 10-track collection features live performances of the No. 1 singles 'Bless the Broken Road,' 'Stand,' 'These Days' and 'What Hurts the Most,' as well as the the fan-favorite album cut, 'Here's to You.' Also included are the rock classics 'Foreplay'/'Long Time' and 'Free Ride,' standard encore songs at Rascal Flatts shows.
Steve Azar returns to blues roots, releasing 'Delta Soul Vol. 1,' a collection of tunes that highlight the Mississippi native's distinctive voice and guitar skills. The singer first gained mainstream fame in 2001 for his monster single, 'I Don't Have To Be Me ('Til Monday).'
"I grew up with such great influences, and I always felt very comfortable talking my home and living in the Mississippi Delta, and I have been inspired to write about it," Steve tells Suite 101. "At least half of my songs to this day have been about home, and people seem to really gravitate towards that. It's going to be my first real rock blues record."
'American Idol' alum Josh Gracin returns with 'Redemption,' the singer's first studio album in more than three years. Released under the Average Joe's Entertainment label, the lengthy 16-song album features the singles 'She's a Different Kind of Crazy,' 'Cover Girl,' and the collection's current radio single, 'Long Way to Go,' which recently became Josh's first Adult Contemporary hit, sitting at No. 16 this week.
"The album is 100 percent my interpretation, 100 percent my idea of what I wanted the record to be," Josh explains. "Just in that alone, it's going to sound different than anything else I've done."

Just a few days of police custody and scraps of information about the public rage their horrendous sexual assault of a woman has evoked has sent shivers down the spine of the accused -- especially Ram Singh's, reports Jatin Anand. Infection spreads, victim very critical | Antomy of the accuseddelhi Updated: Dec 24, 2012 08:52 IST
Just a few days of police custody and scraps of information about the public rage their horrendous sexual assault of a woman has evoked has sent shivers down the spine of the accused -- especially Ram Singh's.
Having remained aloof and stony during questioning for two whole days after his arrest, Singh, the main accused, began feeling 'sorry' for his demonic act when investigators told him about the widespread, nationwide outcry it has triggered. He finally admitted so to a magistrate on Sunday afternoon.
"While the intent was not to scare him or pressurise him, Singh began cooperating with us after he was told about the public anger," an officer said.
"Who knows whether he really feels remorse or guilt? But he did say so to the judge," another officer said.
Though late, according to sources, the sudden awakening of Singh's conscience helped them in nabbing the most elusive of his partners-in-crime - the seemingly ethereal juvenile."
Singh was the only one who knew the juvenile more than any of the other accused. The others arrested in the case had a very hazy recollection of his description," the officer said.
It was the little bits of information that Singh gave police - seemingly in return for news about the rage his crime was evoking beyond the bars of his lockup - that led the police to the boy sooner than they had expected.
"His description was helpful — but too common. At least 35 persons of a similar description had already been examined by us. But little things, like information about his 'sweet' voice and especially the way he solicited potential fares, proved fruitful," said the officer.
On Saturday, it was Akshay Kumar Singh alias Thakur's turn to feel the chill after he asked the investigators why so many journalists wanted to get his picture.
He, apparently, froze as soon as he was told that the entire country was up in arms against him. "A week later, the same drunken men whose sporadic anger had turned them into beasts now fear for their lives," the officer added.

|Implementing a Tool to Identify Risk for Venous Thromboembolism in Cancer Patients
|Brief Summary
|Cancer increases the risk of deep vein blood clots and clots traveling to the lungs (emboli) which cause morbidity (leg swelling, pain, and shortness of breath), sudden death, delays cancer treatment, and decreases cancer survival by 66% compared to similar cancer patients without blood clots. Blood thinners may prevent clots but major bleeding is also a problem, so preventive therapies are not used routinely. Identifying patients at highest risk for clots is critical. A tool exists but it has not been used outside of research. We propose to study how to apply this tool in clinical practice and test if it works.
|Detailed Description
Patients with Cancer have a risk for venous thromboembolism (VTE) including deep-vein thrombosis (DVT) and/or pulmonary embolism (PE) that is markedly higher than non-Cancer patients. An acute episode of VTE has deleterious effects on the quality of life and long-term survival of cancer patients. Cancer patients with VTE have survival rates that are only one third of otherwise identical patients without VTE. Once VTE is diagnosed over 10% of cancer patients suffer a further event while on standard therapy and over 5% suffer a major hemorrhagic event.
The best way to treat VTE is its prevention (thromboprophylaxis). Studies suggest that among ambulatory cancer patients, risk for VTE varies markedly between patients and that the lack of knowledge of this risk, delays diagnosis and hampers efforts to effectively prevent VTE. Therefore, the identification of patients at high-risk for VTE may enable faster diagnosis of VTE and better use of thromboprophylaxis.
Recent studies have developed a novel tool to stratify VTE risk in cancer patients before they initiate anti-cancer treatment. We hypothesized that this risk tool will accurately identify cancer patients at high-risk and that its implementation in our clinical practice will result in a faster clinical diagnosis of VTE.
Our objective is: a) to evaluate the ideal strategy to incorporate the tool in our clinical setting as seamlessly as possible, and b) to determine whether the tool accurately predicts risk and results in a faster investigation for VTE.
Patient eligibility will be determined during the patient's initial consult to the Ottawa Cancer Center after cancer diagnosis has been confirmed by the medical Oncologist and before initiation of anticancer treatment. Follow-up for this study will be for 12 months and patients will be seen at the time of scheduled appointments for cancer treatment.

A college student recently interviewed me. Here's how it went down…
1. What symptoms led you to the discovery that you had Celiac?
Five years ago, I was driving down the road when all of sudden, I thought I was having a heart attack, chest pain beyond my comprehension. I pulled off the side of the road and lay in the grass, grasping for breathe…but upon arriving at the hospital, the docs could find nothing wrong with my heart and pumped me full of pain meds. I was in shock and terrified. The chest pain "attacks" continued and eventually became a constant sharp pressure. It became painful to laugh, be hugged, talk, breathe, or even wear a bra. That's right, people, I became the queen of tank tops under a large sweatshirt.;) It took 3 years to get a chest pain diagnoses of Costochondritis (an inflammation of the cartilage in between the ribs). However, little did we know, it was not costochondritis at all, but a result of Celiac Disease. After 3 years of struggling with chest pain, my health began to deteriorate further: numb hands, an oddly broken foot just from walking (the bone had to be removed), diarrhea -gross!, headaches, heart palps, severe ear infections, very pale skin, thyroid problems, extreme thirst, back pain, brain fog, numbness, tingling, severe mood swings, muscle twitching, not able to get enough sleep, psoriasis, and the list goes on…
2. What was your initial reaction once you discovered you diagnosis? Many people respond in panic once they discover that their entire diet and lifestyle are about to change.
I cried with relief and then celebrated!! We took pictures, lol. I was so excited to know what was wrong with my body. I saw it as a blessing. There are too many diseases that cannot be treated with a change in diet, Celiac disease can…this is a gift.
3. If someone feels like they have the symptoms of gluten intolerance or Celiac's disease, what you suggest they do first?
If you suspect celiac disease, in my humble non-medical opinion, I suggest talking to your doctor and getting the celiac blood panel and the gene testing (you can also do gene yourself at myceliacid.com) done asap. Then you and your doctor can go from there and decide if a scope of the small intestines is best for your situation. If the blood panel, gene test, and biopsy all come back negative, I'd talk with your doctor and possibly look into other forms of gluten sensitivity testing. You may not have Celiac Disease, but could be suffering from some level of gluten intolerance or allergy.
4. What is the most important thing to know when first going gluten free?
Make your life a zero tolerance policy when it comes to gluten. No cheating. I was so sick…so it's natural that I don't want anything to do with gluten. And I understand that others have had a different road to diagnoses, so if you want to cheat, take the time to really educate yourself about Celiac Diease. This way, you'll know what you're doing to your body by eating gluten and can take full responsibility for the consequences, good or bad. If that doesn't work, lol, think of drinking gasoline…whether you drink a little or a lot, it's still very dangerous and starts the auto-immune response in your body. Gluten is gasoline to Celiac Disease patients.
5. Many people feel like a freak-of-nature when they're in a group of friends munching on stacks of pizza. Did you feel awkward at first when going out to eat with gluten-eating friends?
Truthfully, I haven't eaten out for almost 13 months. I take my own food with me when/if dining with friends. Getting gluttened via cross-contamination right now isn't worth it to me. I also have many consequential problems stemming from Celiac Disease, so I have many food restrictions and problems in addition to avoiding gluten right now. But to those who are feeling like the odd man out- make your own GF pizza or food and have your friends over! Don't buy into this "victim" mentality, it's toxic to your growth as a person. Be creative, suggest a place that you can eat at. I know it's hard being different, I get that, I live that. But instead, ask your buds to meet you at a coffee shop or alternative places. Then, every once in a while, go eat with them and take your own pizza. Or don't. Take control of your life! Join a GF support group or start one. You can totally do this. Don't allow external situations to steal your joy.
6. On your busy days, what are a few meals or snacks that you take on the go?
Larabars, peanut butter & carrots, apples, and of course, chocolate.
7. Often when I tell my fellow colleagues that I'm gluten intolerant, I simply get a reply such as, "Oh that really sucks, I would hate my life if I had that problem." — How would you retaliate to such a response?
When people says things that are painful to hear, they are often responding to us based on their life experiences and a lack of understanding. So I personally would say, "being gluten free isn't always easy, but being sick is what sucks." And then I'd open up the dialogue about living gluten free. Take it as an opportunity to advocate for the gluten free community. Our goal should stay on the prize of "health" for ourselves and sharing what our symptoms were so that others can get diagnosed. Don't waste energy getting upset about people who don't understand. Because one day…that person or someone they love will have some odd symptoms and you will have planted the seed as they think to themselves…"I remember this chick who couldn't eat gluten…I wonder if that's the problem…"
8. What are the important things a gluten intolerant person should try to explain to loved ones?
First, have a sit down with them. Explain why you can't have gluten and how your life is going to change, including the challenges and health benefits. Then share how that will affect your relationship to them and how you need their support. Tell them specifically how they can support you. Most family members say they don't know exactly how to help a GF person, so tell them in specifics and what you need from them. Last, ask them what questions or concerns they have. Be patient and sensitive with them, this is new to them too. For me, I asked that my family treat my GF meals that I take everywhere like it's no big deal. And they do, they rock, they never give me a hard time or look twice at what I'm eating…unless they want a taste, which I love.
9. Your television show seems to cover every aspect of gluten free living, what is your number one goal of being " The Celiac Diva"?
My first goal is to expose all the faces of Celiac Disease. My heart aches at how many people are walking around undiagnosed, it's time for that to change. My second goal is to get "The Celiac Diva Show" nationally syndicated. I want Celiac Disease symptoms, GF food choices, doctors opinions, GF education and so much more to come into homes everywhere across America…with a little sass, of course.

Having a problem on starting the card when cold. There is no choke, but it takes numerous pumps(25) of the throttle to get it started.
It feels like there's no gas getting to the carb. Funny, car runs good once it starts. Could this have something to do with the float level?
This carb has an external adjustment for the float. I'm assuming turning clockwise would raise, and counter clockwise would lower?
Supposedly the float should be set at 29mm or 1.14 inches. Looks like I may have to remove top cover. I'll report back with my findings.
Cheers, N
Tell me more about this carb. Is it a Weber or not? Weber DCOE carburetters have no external adjustment for the float. Also, a cold start valve device can be added to most DCOEs. give me more info about this carburetter!!
It's supposedly the old SK carburetor made by OER out of Japan. It takes all weber jetting except for the accelerator pump jets. It has an external float mechanism to adjust the float. You can also adjust the duration of accelerator pump jets. Here's some more information:
I would have bought a Weber, but at the time they were hard to come by and $$. Looks like I'll be taking the cover of it this afternoon. I'll repor back on my findings.
How does the carb work on hard acceleration? Does it fall flat on it's face?
I'm wondering if the pump circuit may be plugged. A couple of pumps should be enough fuel to start, not 25. I'm not that familiar with the guts of the SK, but I know it is pretty similar to the DCOE with a pump piston and pump jets. If the piston assembly is damaged or the pump jets clogged starting would be a problem, but also the engine would bog when you try to accelerate.
I've had similar problems with a DCOE when the pump piston sticks in the pump bore from disuse. The car will accelerate slowly, but if you punch it the engine will almost die.
I've verified the problem. The accelerator pump does not work at all. The car runs ok, but on hard acceleration it will ping. I'm assuming this is due to a lean mixture. This would also explain how you can pump the pedal 25 times and the car still won't start. I do not know what I'm going to do at this point. I may just buy an authentic 45 DCOE. I'm not overly impressed with the OER as you can tell.
Here's a look inside one of the (three) Webers on my Healey.
I'd think now that you know the pump circuit isn't working, that you could go after it and find out why...
I saw these pics on another post somewhere. I emailed one of them to some friends.
Here's what a happened. The accelerator pump rod broke. The rod has a hook at the bottom which connects to the piston. The hook was broken inside the piston, so the piston would never return. This carburetor is nearly identical to the Weber 45 DCOE, but the OER uses mickey mouse steel for the accelerator rod. It's nowhere near the quality of the weber. My mechanic friend luckily had several old DCOE's lying around his shop. He cut the hook off one and had the welder next door weld it to mine. My car now starts almost immediately and runs like a raped ape. I no longer have pinking and the car really hauls ***. Thanks for everyone's replies.
Just seen an old reply of yours after searching for solutions to my Healey 3 45dcoe conversion. First had serious vacum leaks as kit was incomplete and rubbish. Having got that sorted put in new Mallory dual point dist: and basically now runs idle good little on the rich side. On accerlator pumps with car static good but around 3000rpm starts to pop through the carbs. Timing set at 15BTDC on idle. Changed main jets from 145 as supplied to 155's. better but not great. Racked timing to around 35BTDC and will run through 3000rpm fine with just occasional pop. Road test and will handle low rpms good under load but will ping when stressed under acceleration. Really head scrathing, can you advise, i am in Florida
What size main chokes (not the cold start device, Weber refers to the restrictor that determines the smallest diameter of the throat a choke, just as on a shotgun) do you have? they are marked in MM. We find that many of these carbs, especially on triple setups, have way too big a choke installed. Some pop and pink on initial accelleration, or just plain drop dead. The reason is that at low vacuum the velocity of the "signaling" air passing over the jet venturris drops and won't provide good atomization, and sometimes, fuel.
The thing to remember about Weber DCOEs is that, as on most all Webers, the idle circuit actually makes up not just not the idle fuel delivery, but half to two thirds of the rest of the running range. It occurs to me that your problem might just be during the transition from the idle jet circuit to the main circuit. My thought is that you may have too big an air corector jet, or too small a main jet. Or, it could be a somewhat plugged main circuit. As far as choke diameter goes, I wouldn't venture much bigger than around twenty eight MM. We had a TR6 here that wouldn't run worth a nickel until we installed TWENTY SIX MM chokes. At that point it idled smoothly, and ran like a missle. The more throats you use, the smaller the restriction must be to get an equivalent result in gas velocity. Just something to think on.
By the way, Haynes puts out a pretty darned good book on Webers, with theory, exploded views, tuning reccomendations, and overhaul procedures.
Another by the way. It seems to me that you have too much ignition timing for this engine. That's far more likely the cause of the pinking you hear on accelleration. Start with it at absolutely factory stock, then mess with the carburetters. Advance it only as far as not to pink AFTER the fuel problems are solved
Condenser/points will also give you that popping through the carbs and I am inclined to that area more than the Webers.
Around 3,000 rpms is when it changes from idle to main jetting. To find out exactly the crossover rpms, loosen or remove the main jet assembly and accelerate until the engine dies. That is the crossover point. If that coincides with the popping then you could need to adjust your jetting.
I like your elegant diagnosis technique but would make an observation. The different fuel systems overlap in operation. There is a short period of transition time where the idle circuit is diminishing and the main circuit is coming on. So I think the crossover rpm may be slightly below where the engine dies.
You are correct, with this method, when it dies is when you are on the high end of the idle circuit.
I left the main jets assembly loose one day and just stumbled on that "technique".
Thanks for all the replies and interest, it seems a subject that many have had in slightly different circumstances.
Took the beast for a road test today, backed off timing as i agree way to far advanced fot this motor, probably just ahead of stock setting, pinging not evident, however popping now occurs around 2500. Now the funny bit, cruise at 2500 with slight popping on random carbs, pull choke out fully, goes like stink and remained fully drivable even when slowing down and reaccelerating. I am now leaning, escuse the pun, towards incorrect jetting as idle is smooth even at 600rpm. I am told these webers should have 900 min and timing at 3000rpm 36btdc. The internals are all new and stock with the exception of main jets which i have upped tp 155 already with little effect. Here are the stock settings
Main Venturi 36
Aux vent 4.5
Air corrector 155
Emul tube F16
Main Jets 145 now 155
Idle 55F8
Pump Jet 45
Exhaust Valve 40
Needle 2.0
Feels like i am getting so close, really appreciate all the advise and will certainly look out for a Haynes manual on my return to the UK.
As an aside i also run in Florida a 1962 TR4 and a 1962 Silvercloud, best is British!
If pulling out the choke solves the problem you are most likely way to lean. In a lean condition you can get very close to the correct mixture and the car does not respond. When you do go that small bit richer all of a sudden you notice a big difference. This also results in a sudden jump in gas mileage because the engine starts making proper power and burns the fuel more efficiently. Just went through this exercise on my Mustang. It only took a 4% jet size increase to make the big difference. Gas mileage increased 10%.
By the way, the car was still jetted on the economy end of the mixture/lean so you could probably go richer still to make more power.
The "Book" says:
Choke Size/Main Venturi= 36
Auxilliary Venturi= 4.5
Main Jet = 1.65
Emulsion Tube= F16
Air Corrector Jet =1.50
Idle Jet=0.55F8
Accelerator Pump Jet=0.45
Accelerator pump Inlet Valve w/ Exhaust Orifice= closed
Needle Valve = 2.00
So you are a little too lean, but very close. If you have unlimited funds it may be worthwhile as per Motorbill to try 32mm or 34mm main venturis. They will make the throttle response snappier and help emulsify the fuel better by increasing the signal to the main booster/auxiliary venturi. You will lose a slight amount of horsepower on the top end but most of us spend very little time with the car red-lined and completely floored and a lot of time at part throttle.
Good Luck!

Fox on company's decison to stop inscribing Bible verses on military rifle scopes: "The Bible Loses"
Blog ››› ››› MEDIA MATTERS STAFF
From the January 22 edition of Fox News' Fox & Friends:
From a January 21 Army Times article:
A company under fire for etching biblical references on rifle scopes used by the U.S. military said Thursday it will stop the practice, and offered to provide modification kits to the Pentagon to enable their removal on existing optics.
Michigan-based Trijicon Inc. made the announcement in a statement released by Levick Strategic Communications, a Washington, D.C.-based firm that specializes in crisis management.
"Trijicon has proudly served the U.S. military for more than two decades, and our decision to offer to voluntarily remove these references is both prudent and appropriate," Trijicon president Stephen Bindon said in a statement. "We want to thank the Department of Defense for the opportunity to work with them and will move as quickly as possible to provide the modification kits for deployment overseas."
Trijicon also said it will remove the inscriptions from all products it has made for the military, but not yet shipped, and that it will provide foreign military services that purchased Trijicon products the same options.

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by roscoe36, Jan 31, 2009.
Well, I thought it was a good point....
Not sure if anyone has posted this yet. I've been out of the loop today. DETROIT'S TROUBLES DUE TO LACK OF CONFIDENCE IN COACH - New York Post Sort of my gripe. I like MC, but have lost confidence in him. If he's being told who to play by Joe D, then that sort of fits the theory that Joe hired an inexperienced coach with the understanding that Joe would be calling the shots (vs. having to allow a vet coach room and respect to do it their way).
Always the provocateur. How would you rate a brain surgeon? Well, I can't do it myself so I'll give him high marks even though he left a few surgical sponges in there and the scalpel cut off a big hunk of brain that I could have used.
I am giving him a C. There's a lot of stuff roster wise he can't work with. If I am failing someone for this season it is the mad texter Joe Dumars. The team has no shooters, no ball handling and inconsistent bigs. Curry hasn't been perfect or great. His indecision with the starting line-up between Amir and Kwame has hurt the team as well as the individual players. His inability to find a consistent rotation has hurt them also. He seems to be stubborn and indecisive at the same time. He doesn't seem to even listen to Hooper's suggestions for which plays to run.
I gave him a C-. ...however. My criteria for grading may be skewed a bit. In my book, the regular season only counts as a 20% of the total grade. Results wise, MCs prolly hovering around the D range to this point in the season. BUT, I think that running young guys out there and rolling out all of these WACK lineups and rotations is going to better prepare players for the post-season. His grade will improve with me if he starts to sort out all of this nonsense after the allstar break and develop some cohesive rotations and improve his ability to put guys in situations where they can succeed.
Cloud you gave him a B+. You should give yourself a self imposed 1 week ban from the forum. Something about slapping? Yourself right ?
We weren't happy with Flip losing in 6 games in the ECF last year. Since then, Stuckey has emerged as one of the best players on the team. Joe got AI, a sure hall of famer. We got rid of that slow, good-for-nothing egomaniac, Billups. We have former all-stars willing to come off the bench. We got rid of that no defense chucker, Arvis. How can we possibly be so much worse? Curry? Naw.
Actually, I was referring to how I personally could conceivably even think about giving this guy an F. I don't personally think I know enough about coaching an NBA team to attempt to read very far beyond wins and losses when giving this man a grade. You folks can do what you want. I was explaining the comparatively high grade and why wins and losses were the only thing that really weighed heavily into my grading criteria.
So now you're getting all cerebral about it. Kinda like Curry spinning his actings for the unimportant media.
:winner_first_h4h: If it adds anything to the discussion, our BillLaimbeer is a coach, and he is very opinionated on the coaching. He thought Saunders did a decent enough job last year, and doesn't think Curry is doing a very good job this year. I suppose his vote probably has more weight than mine, given that the only coaching I have done is playcalling flag football.
Actually I was hoping someone else would, seeing as how I've already admitted I'm not as basketball smart as an NBA coach. Why don't you take a shot. What plays of Michael Curry's don't you like? What are they called? Which sets would you run if you were in his shoes? Why? What would be the second/third/fourth options in these sets? If at any time a play was defended very well by a good defensive team would you want your best shooter to release to the three point line or dive into triple coverage, as some have suggested? If said shooter did release to the arc for an open three, would that then mean that the play was drawn up to get the three in the first place, as yet more have claimed? Then we could move on over to defense. It seems to me that perhaps if we can collectively put something together that appears more cogent than "play him more" or "just take it into the paint" that maybe the folks in media and brass skimming through the forum might be apt to pick it up and pass it on, if only for an initial laugh at our expense. If the points had merit, however, maybe they could at least get people thinking about them.
You can play that both ways Cloud. What specific plays do you like. What are they called etc. etc. If we followed that line of reasoning we would have to take an extensive entry exam to be part of an internet forum.
That was not a caveat of your poll question, and I'm not attempting to put anyone down, only be true to myself. I'm just willing to admit that there's a whole lot that I simply do not know, and when I start factoring these things that I really don't know a whole lot about into my subjective guesses, and then into my vote, I'm really venturing into the territory of factoring what I don't know into the coaches grade just as much as what I only think he doesn't know.
I think the inability to get a consistent lineup game after game is totally on Mike. We have to be honest about this. Either he is in charge or he is not. If he's in charge, he's responsible. That's how leadership works. I don't think any team has had as many lineup changes as we have in such a short season. First we start Amir. Then we start Kwame. Then we start Amir. Then we start Kwame. Then we start Amir. Then we start Kwame. Then we start Amir with Kwame to be used situationally. Then Kwame is permanently benched. Who wants to lay odds Curry will keep Kwame on the bench for the next 20 games? And that's one of the biggest problems. I don't think anyone here will admit that they can reasonably predict the starting lineup 2 games from now. Now maybe there is a school of thought out there that says, "Who cares what the fans thinks". But ask yourself how effective you would be at your job, if you didn't know if you were working or when even 5 days in advance, for months at a time? Does anyone really believe this lack of consistency (which is mostly without rhyme or reason) makes the players individually or team collectively better? I don't.
Yeah, I know. I seen you mad. It ain't pretty. But your initial argument about not being a coach, has to apply to you if it applies to others.
You're not following me BBills. I've already admitted that I am not possessing of a basketball mind that is greater than all of these coaches we love to harp on. Unfortunately some people can't/won't. Personally it's hard for me to get behind someones rationale when they can't show me that they have come even close to considering all of the variables. I'd love nothing more than for these questions to be answered on a per game basis when we really want to determine whether or not the coach drew up shoddy plays or whether or not the guy that was dogged to get it right in practice came in and failed to perform the most remedial of functions over even a 5 minute span. It would be a welcome learning experience for me, and I feel that it would be fairly forum specific. I don't see that kind of insight anywhere else.
It sure does. How many times do I have to label myself as basketball dumb (compared to even many Varsity HS coaches) in one thread?
Except we all know you aren't dumb. You are being disingenuous to make your point.
Not at all. Compared to even an unseasoned rook like MC I know where I stand on the basketball aptitude scale, and it ain't pretty. It's the comparative part you have keep in mind here. I'm being 100% honest in my self assessment.

Days went by with no evidence of Gray Kitty's presence.
I began to worry.
Mew mew mew! I called and called.
This cat cry almost always works.
At first I was sad, and then mad.
How could he forget all that we've done for him?
First, rescuing him from the vet after a run-in with a blade:
Then we removed his man parts so he wouldn't roam (no photos, just his response to it):
And what about the broken leg? Did he forget this, too?
We even let him into the house; that's a monumental expression of our care:
Three days passed, and just about the time I was preparing to scatter cat food wistfully toward the sky as I symbol of my moving on, I heard the unique mew mew mew that belonged to my sweet gray kitty, and I went toward the cattle yard and picked him up and squeezed him.
Don't ever ever do that again, I said.
And we did shake on it, and for now, all is well on the farm.

That Little Something Extra
The ranch burger ($6.35) at Cahill's on Durham (903 Durham, 713-864-9400) is perfectly executed, and its smearing of ranch dressing adds a wonderful taste. Cooked over an open flame and served on a fresh-baked bun, the single large patty is covered with the dressing and topped with Swiss cheese and smoked bacon, in addition to the usual mayo, mustard, lettuce, tomato, pickle and onion. Be sure to request the homemade rough-cut fries and thick onion rings as accompaniments.

All those who rail about big government should read the front page article in the January 24 Union-Eagle regarding small business in this free market society getting a loan from a state department, "Deed" and a federal department, HUD.
This loan will help Inline Products grow and return money to our city, Princeton, to loan out to other small businesses. This loan will create 25 jobs at a good wage.
The next time you hear someone complain about big government and departments like HUD, or other departments designed to help the middle class get ahead, tell them to put this loan to Inline Products in their pipe and smoke it.

There's no formal announcement yet from GMA Network on who will be the final cast of its newest youth-oriented show but based on the August offering plug, Julie Anne San Jose and Lauren Young are the confirmed ones.
As far as I can remember, this is the show that Julie Anne is talking about two months ago that's why she's attending acting workshops at that time.
This will be the first show together of Julie Anne and Lauren, both linked to Elmo Magalona. This will be Lauren's next project, second project after primetime series "Mundo Mo'y Akin."

By Gil Kaufman U2 have never met a big stage they couldn't hold and Sunday night's (March 2) Oscars were no exception. The legendary Irish rockers performed their Best Original Song nominated anthem "Ordinary Love" from "Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom" unplugged, but with an electric charge that that captivated the star-studded audience. Playing on a spare stage lit by six large spotlights, the band played an acoustic version of the tune, with singer Bono hitting the falsetto highs …read more

I wonder if there is a new extractor for the 21's?
That's exactly what I meant. I've got a Ruger SR1911 and a Sig P220ST and my gen4 G21 is has much less recoil, IMHO than either of the other .45s and weighs less even with almost double the magazine capacity.
I really like my G21, can't wait till the gen4 G20s are more available!

Thank you Cohland for your input. I believe i had an ammo issue breaking-in my 21. Where i reside i have a Major problem getting ammo (after Sandy Hook i am sure it will be worse) over the INTERNET. 9 out of 10 sites that will sell to you, will not sell to my due to my location. I am not Bill Gates, and don't reload. Paying $30+ for 20 rounds of higher charged S/D ammo rubs me the wrong way to break-in my 21. Two things i ask:
What is "normal ejection distance for a Gen1 thru Gen3 Glock 21?
Any recommendations as to less expensive over the counter 45 acp i should buy? (i am not a fan of steel cased ammo except for an AK-47)
I don't shoot SD ammo in my G21 (or my 1911), I just shoot 230-grain FMJ round nose because it's less expensive and to me has less recoil.
For brands, I shoot American Eagle, MagTech, Speer, Remington/UMC, Winchester (white box), Federal, or Sellier & Bellot. I would try Cabelas, the local Cabelas here always has ammo and they do ration it out to 200 rounds per person per day. You might have some luck there. Also, in your area, Farm and Fleet stores might have it, as well as WalMart.
You might have to travel out to the Western Suburbs: Barrington, Crystal Lake, or Woodstock. I used to live out there, so I'm familiar with the territory.

Pat...I know that you're trying to get an answer to normal ejection distance for your Glock 21. I don't know if this will help, but go to gunsprings.com and scroll down to the bottom of the page and click on FAQ's. Check out #3. In that response they give some good general info & distances. Maybe that will help.
Pat...I don't think the locked slide treatment will get you where you need to be. I'd run some more boxes of ammo through it. With price being an issue, I'd buy the lesser grain cheaper stuff. Just get some more rounds through it. If things have not improved, I'd buy a replacement Recoil Spring Assemby (Gen 4 specific). It is always good to have 1 or 2 extra of these anyway. Glockmeister has them in stock for $17. Replace the RSA and see how she behaves.

"The factory spring weight is designed to operate the pistol with what would be considered average loads, plus or minus a little. It is not uncommon for manufacturers to specify what they consider a factory ammunition load.In general terms, the heaviest recoil spring that will allow the pistol to function reliably is the best choice - tempered by the above factors. As a rule of thumb, if your spent casings are first hitting the ground in the 3 to 6 foot range, then the recoil spring is approximately correct. If you are ejecting beyond the 6-8 foot range, then a heavier recoil spring is generally required. If your casings are ejecting less than 3 feet, a lighter recoil spring may be needed to assure reliable functioning. "
Thanks for passing that along, nevadabob.

A Czech court ruled that towns have the power to limit prostitution in public places. The ruling spoke to the issue of the prevalence of prostitution in towns bordering Germany where it is very common for German males to cross over the border in search of prostitutes. The ruling is creating a constitutional issue for the Czech Republic whose laws until now have been ambiguous on this topic. The court decision said towns could ban sex services in public places, create zones of prostitution or not regulate prostitution at all.
The mayor of Teplice responded to the decision by seeking a law which would make prostitutes pay for a license and see a doctor every three months. Other Czechs are concerned that laws regulating prostitution would result in it being pushed behind closed doors and open the way for criminals to gain control of the occupation.
Prostitution is among the oldest human occurrences and was prevalent thousands of years ago. Modern people forget that in ancient times, prostitution was among the small number of occupations open to a single woman. Many strong willed women entered prostitution seeking independence or to earn sufficient income to open a shop or use as a dowry.

Note: We spoke with several Nationals players and prospects at NatsFest more than a week ago and will continue to have updates from them throughout the week. Below, we catch up with Dan Haren.
The Nationals signed Dan Haren, a 10-year veteran who is one of the most accomplished right-handers in the game over the past decade, to fill the vacant spot in the rotation. They inked him to a one-year deal, possible only because of concerns over his health. The Nationals evaluated him, felt comfortable with his back and hip issues and signed him for $13 million. And Haren, after landing on the disabled list for the first time in his career last year with the Angels, insists he expects no issues this season.
"I feel great," Haren said at NatsFest on Jan. 26. "I threw a bullpen actually [on Jan. 25] before I flew out. I felt good, I feel strong. Just trying to put it in neutral a little bit. I've thrown three or four bullpens. I don't want to get ready too early, especially this year with spring starting a little earlier, games starting a little earlier."
Haren, 32, went on the disabled list at the all-star break last year to rest back tightness, only because the Angels' medical officials convinced him. When he returned, his mechanics were out of whack and it took him until August to straighten it out. Over his final 13 outings, Haren threw eight quality starts.
Haren also dealt with hip issues, which he admitted have lingered since his rookie season. He learned to manage it, and has done even more to help alleviate it, such as losing weight, improving flexibility and strengthening his core. When he signed with the Nationals in early December, Haren admitted, " I think I have a lot to prove this year"
"I'm going to be 100 percent go from the get-go of spring physically, I feel really good," he said recently. "I focused a little more on getting in better shape. I've always been in good shape but I just wanted to really hit on some things and make sure I'm in the best possible shape I can be in."
Offseason fan events, held by teams to generate interest for the upcoming season, are optional, especially veterans like Haren. But he is new to Washington, its fans and the majority of his teammates. So he agreed to come to NatsFest, in his mind, to serve as a learning experience.
The only Nationals players Haren is already familiar with are Chad Tracy and Adam LaRoche, teammates on the Arizona Diamondbacks from 2008 to 2009 and 2010, respectively. Haren crossed paths with Kurt Suzuki in his final season in Oakland in 2007, and has faced Denard Span while both were in the American League. Haren got to meet most of this teammates at NatsFest and was excited to head to Viera soon to join the rest of them, test out his body and prove himself.
"When I'm throwing my bullpens now there's nothing really in the back of my mind or anything [holding me back]," he said recently. "I'm just going out there and treating it like any other year. Maybe get into it a little slower but there'll be no restrictions."
