I am not keen on doing the noted repair myself, nor am I keen on incurring shipping on this beasty boy to send it back for replacement. Wish I saw this thread before I bought Elite.
We'll see if they make it right...but from above, not counting on it.
I filled out the claim form and uploaded photos of the screen and within a day or so they replied and said they will replace the screen.
It is about a year old and I also bought it from someone else.
I have recently filed a warranty claim for this exact problem and am happy to report that Elite is replacing my screen!!

Thanks God... I ordered today my new Elite Screen TE135HW-E12 after my supplier's proposal and I thought to have a look at some reviews for this...
I already send him the reviews to check and of course I canceled the order, asking him to propose any other screen than Elite...!!!
Please if somebody has any good proposal, I would appreciate to hear it.
I actually had the wave problem from the very beginning when I purchased it two years ago. I sent the company pictures and they offered to send me another for the cost of freight after I tried a couple of remedies they suggested but didn't work. To my dismay, the 2nd screen had the same problem. If anything, it was even worse. Again, I contacted the company and they gave me the option of either sending it back or keeping it and giving me a 50% credit. I decided to keep it and here is how I fixed it:
When the screen is down, start at the center at the center of the bottom of the screen. Using both hands, gently pull toward the outside edges on the black fabric above where it attaches to the weighted bottom bar. In other words, while facing the screen, pull to the left with your left fingers and toward the right with you right fingers. Pulling towards the outside edges makes the fabric more taut where it enters the weighted bar. . Continue doing this until you have pulled toward the outside edges on the entire bottom length of the screen. The wrinkles should be less noticeable at this point. Now do it again, starting at the center and pulling the black fabric frame towards the outside. After doing this a few times, all of the waves had disappeared from my screen.
I left the screen down and went to the hardware store and bought a small tube of black silicone. I then ran a thin bead of silicone along the bottom edge where the black fabric went into the weighted metal bar. I did this on both the front and back sides (an assistant helped hold the screen away from the wall while I siliconed the back side). I then let the silicone set for 24 hours and then raised and lowered the screen. In the two plus years since, I have not had any problem with waves at all. It appears that what happens is that the fabric moves enough on the weighted bar so that waves appear in the screen sooner or later. The silicone acts like glue and prevents such movement. Less than a $10 fix and the screen now looks great. I'm happy.
Just curious, but what causes most waves/wrinkles in the screens? I just purchased my first ever screen, 120" and it's motorized, however I plan on just leaving it down all the time.... are the waves caused by lowering/raising the screen over and over? Or is it just temperature related, humidity, etc? Mine is almost perfect, can't notice any big waves or anything (when looking from the back of screen can see a few small ones but not noticeable from front... will waves accumulate over time even if I leave it down at all times and never roll it up?

Pulled Capon and Watercress Salad with Citrus Dressing
This is a fantastic alternative to the usually mayonnaise-rich, chunky chicken salad—and a great way to use leftover capon or chicken. Tim Love pulls the meat into tender shreds, then tosses the salad with a citrusy, mildly spicy vinaigrette.
Slideshow: More Salad Recipes
- Total Time:
- Servings: 4
- 2 garlic cloves, thickly sliced
- 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 small shallot, halved
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, plus 1/2 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice, plus 1/2 teaspoon finely grated lime zest
- 1 jalapeño, seeded
- 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon dry white wine
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- 1 head of Bibb lettuce, torn into large pieces
- 4 cups reserved shredded capon (1 1/4 pounds)
- 1 bunch of watercress (6 ounces), thick stems discarded
- 1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 avocado, cut into 1-inch cubes
How to make this recipe
In a small skillet, cook the garlic in the olive oil over moderately low heat until fragrant and soft, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a blender and let cool. Add the shallot, lemon juice and zest, lime juice and zest, jalapeño, vinegar and wine to the blender and process until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
Transfer 1 tablespoon of the dressing to a large bowl. Add the Bibb lettuce and toss to coat. Arrange the lettuce on a platter. Add the capon and watercress to the bowl along with the onion, avocado and the remaining dressing and toss. Mound the capon salad over the lettuce and serve right away.
Make Ahead
The dressing can be refrigerated overnight.
Suggested Pairing
For this spicy variation on a classic chicken salad, try a rosado, as rosé wines are typically known in Spain. Predominantly made from the Tempranillo grape (just as red Riojas are), rosado Riojas typically have sweet berry fruit flavors that will cool the jalapeño heat here.

Jan. 1, 2010
ATLANTA - Thursday night might have been the longest Eric Berry ever lingered in the locker room after a game during his Tennessee career.
But the consensus All-America safety knew what it meant to leave Tennessee's makeshift home in the Georgia Dome following a 37-14 loss to No. 12 Virginia Tech in the Chick-fil-A Bowl.
"It's really hard. I think that's why it took me so long to get out here. I really don't want to leave, but I feel like it's just something I needed to do to help my family," said Berry, who spoke openly in July about his hopes to ease the financial pressure on his parents, both of whom lost jobs in the recent economic downturn. "Just to see how hard my parents have worked over the last 18 years (and) raising my brothers, I fell like this is something I can do to help them just sit down and relax and show my appreciation for what they've done for me."
Tennessee fans, even the ones who hoped that Berry would return for one last season, will be plenty appreciative of what Berry did in his three years at UT.
He's one of the most decorated players in school history. He's been one of the program's best examples off the field and one of its best ambassadors.
He ranks fifth in UT history with 14 career interceptions, seven of which came last year. He could have had more this season, but he unselfishly played closer to the line of scrimmage as almost a kind of hybrid linebacker/safety at times.
He's the first player Tennessee actively marketed as a Heisman Trophy candidate since Peyton Manning. He was the SEC's defensive player of the year in 2008 and won the Jim Thorpe Award as the nation's top defensive back in 2009.
He holds the SEC career record for interception return yards and is second on the NCAA career list, just 8 yards shy of Terrell Buckley. He entered the season needing 15 yards to set a new record, but he doesn't regret anything about his final season at Tennessee.
"I played every snap like it was my last," Berry said. "I made sure of that, so when I did leave I wouldn't have any regrets. From when I made my decision to come here under (former UT coach Phillip) Fulmer - and a lot of credit goes to him and his staff - I don't regret anything. Nothing last year. Nothing this year. I feel like I did everything that I could, and so did everybody else on this team."
Berry got a little emotional Thursday night talking about his teammates.
"We've become very close, not only with my teammates, but the training staff, the guys that work in the athletic department, the managers, all those guys," he said. "I became very close with all of those guys. It's so hard for me to leave that all behind to go into the draft. But it's just something I feel like I have to do because I want to see my parents just relax. It's so hard. It's like I don't want to go, but I've got to."
But Berry is making the wise choice.
Most draft analysts project him as a top-five pick in April's draft. Plus a rookie salary cap is coming in 2011, which could significantly reduce the money top draft picks receive.
The message from UT coach Lane Kiffin message was simple: Don't stay just to make him happy.
"For me to sit down with him and his father (defensive coordinator Monte Kiffin) and ask them about what I should do next year, and him telling me that I should go really made me love him even more," Berry said. "He put me before himself. He was looking at my whole situation with my family and what I needed to do. That's why a lot of the guys rallied behind coach Kiffin. He really does put his players before himself or anybody else. He loves this team."
So does Berry.
One reporter asked him Thursday night if he could name one of his proudest moments at Tennessee.
There could be scores. The interception return against Florida in the Swamp. Huge hits against Knowshon Moreno or Marquis Maize. Any number of times fans chanted his name in Neyland Stadium.
But his choice had nothing to do with him.
"One of my proudest moments was probably tonight to see (freshman) Janzen (Jackson) get that interception," Berry said. "How he matured as a player and just growing up over the whole season. I call him my protégé. For him to get that interception was great. It was something special."
Ultimately, that's how Tennessee fans will remember Berry. And that's one of the reasons his decision to leave early was so difficult.
"You come in saying that you only want to do three years," Berry said. "Just the camaraderie I built with a lot of my teammates and the fan support, just everybody. I don't want to go all the way. I want to stay. It's so much fun. But I just feel like it's a part of a very important decision that I had to make."

[QUOTE=Kayani_1;2853926]Congrats on the purchase of those wheels. I still love them so much. I guess you bought them from quarter to eight. I had sold them to him a while back and I miss them a lot. Dont forget to post the picks of your ride with them on.
Yes I did. Seeing them on your car makes me so happy - they look great and I cannot wait to get them put on. However, I received them via UPS yesterday and one is bent and one has a chip and needs to be chromed. While the seller DID tell me about the chip, he did NOT mention that one is bent - I will post pics, it is easy to see that it is bent. I will have to have it straightened and re-chromed I assume? Uggh.

Jessica Simpson Welcomes Home Lane Garrison From Prison
The first order of business for Lane Garrison after his release from prison was meeting up with Jessica Simpson and her family. The Simpson clan welcomed the Prison Break star into their home for a small reception, just before Garrison continued on his way to rehab at the Tarzana Treatment Center near Los Angeles.
Garrison chatted with press briefly on his way to the treatment facility, "I'm just worried about getting through treatment right now. I'm looking forward to getting on with my life and doing the right thing and helping people."
Sporting a baseball cap with the word "Faith," Garrison isn't complaining about his predicament and said, "I'm blessed to be alive."

Children who died before adulthood, jewish ancestors in poland and irish newspapers
By David A. Fryxell
Q. How can I find information on children who didn't survive to adulthood?
The answer depends on when the children lived. For families between 1850 and 1940, the US census provides a snapshot of children's names and ages. If you find a young child named in one census but not on the next taken 10 years later, that's often a clue the child died. Look for those who died in the year prior to the 1850, 1860, 1870 and 1880 censuses on those enumerations' mortality schedules.
For example, the 1870 census shows Henry Wilkins, age 6, in the East St. Louis, Ill., household of William and Julia Wilkins, along with their other children, Elisabeth (12) and Richard (10). But in the 1880 census, we find only William, Julia, Elisabeth and Richard. Henry would've been 16, so it's not inconceivable he was working somewhere. But the fact that his older brother was at home suggests otherwise.

In terms of the basics, then, the My Book World Edition is pretty good. It looks nice, is easy to setup, and has all the basic functionality you'd hope for. However, what sets this apart from the rest of the NAS box fraternity is its extras. Included with each box is Western Digital's Anywhere Backup software, which has five licenses, and the box can be accessed via Mionet's remote access service.
Starting with the backup software, this is a constant-monitor backup service so once you've made your initial backup the software keeps an eye on all the files and folders and checks when you've made an update, deleted something or moved it. If you do change something, the software will then invisibly kick in and add an incremental update to the original backup. By default, three versions (the original and two updates) of a file will be kept before the original is replaced, and if you delete a file the two previous versions will still be available. It is incredibly easy to setup and although the initial backup takes sometime, subsequent backups impact little on everyday use.
As for the remote access service, well, you can ignore it if you know how to set up remote access manually on NAS appliances but for your average user it can all be a bit much. Mionet, then, is an online service that makes this process really easy. It's normally for use with your home PC and all you do is download and install a piece of software. So long as you then leave your PC on, you can access it remotely. With the My Book World Edition, Western Digital has embedded this installation into the NAS box itself. In other words, not only are all your files now accessible from any PC in your home, they're now accessible from anywhere round the world.
This, combined with the backup software and the 1TB version's competitive price, puts the My Book World Edition a cut above the rest of the NAS box masses, especially for the novice home user. If you're an advanced user you may want to opt for a different appliance which lets you install your own software (bittorrent client, anyone?). Also, if you're a business user we'd recommend stumping up the money and buying a proper RAID NAS box to ensure your data is safe.
Western Digital's My Book World Edition doesn't necessarily bring anything brand new to the NAS box market but for the novice user it's an ideal entry-level appliance. It's easy to set up, includes decent backup software and an easy to use remote access service, and the price is right too.

How does this compare to the Iomega Home Media Network Hard Drive that was released recently? Any chance of a group test of consumer level NAS boxes?
The 𧴩.56 price quoted is actually for the old 500GB model
Why is the price listed as '𧴩.56 (Inc VAT)' which for the 500GB, but you reviewed the 1GB?
Ah, crumbs. My eyes were deceiving me. Thought it was remarkably far below the MSRP. As mentioned in the review, this still represents outstanding value at the MSRP of 𧵠.99.
I still don't really get the idea. An old celeron-something PC is free from freesycle + 2 new 1tb drives = 2x㿨 = 𧴰. A little hungry on the energy side (depends) and a little more ugly and space consuming, but as for the abilities and flexibilities..! And, of course, price.
I doubt somehow most user would want to go to such lengths. I know I wouldn't.
Nice to see a gigabit interface on a cheaper NAS.
I really hope NAS enclosures become as cheap as USB enclosures as demand goes up. Does this unit have a wake-on-lan feature?
Does it spin down the drive (apparently not all NAS's do) & what's the power draw like??
I've gone with Лис's idea - though it was an old pc from work with FreeNas put on it. The main drawback is it hasn't got SATA, so I'm currently stuck with an old 200gb IDE drive I had spare. It's the power it must suck up running 24/7 that I really don't like though. (planning to borrow a mates power meter at some point...)
No word on the performance? the old WD World Edition had realy useless transferspeeds (7-10mb sec over gbitt), any improvement here?
I use a Mac as my main PC and a netbook running XP as travelling machine. I always have a problem with automated backups for the Mac (including Time Machine) in that backups of a Mac are not readable as files on an XP. Does anyone know if I used this WD would the back up files from my Mac be readable from a windows machine on the network or remotely?
Updated with read and write speeds as well as power figures.
@ Rob - That's because Windows and OS X use different file systems (OS X uses HFS+ and Windows uses NTFS). Windows doesn't natively recognise HFS+ formatted drives so you will need a program in order to access the data on them (I think MacDrive and TransMac do this). At least, this is my understanding of it as I have never used a Mac.
@ smc8788 - thanks for your input. I appreciate why I presently cannot read Mac backup files on a Windows system. That is why I am curious whether the WD provides me a solution, without resorting to third party apps (I tried and did not find them useful). The video about this drive on the WD website suggests that a mixed Mac PC network is fully functional. I am unable to locate a website in UK that sells this drive. The 'latest price' link on TR goes to 100 of wireless router products.
Rob, this will support a mixed mac and PC network - see the screenshots for what file systems is supports. I've not found anywhere that's selling these yet. I'll keep an eye out, though.
The con with a lot of these storage solutions branded by Hard Drive mnaufactures is that they dazzle buyers with "features" while often hiding the fact that they have stuffed these products with turtle-slow 4200rpm drives. The slowest of the slow.
This review fails to address this question at all. Doesnt even raise it. I'd much rather read about hard issues like that, than run through "details" than can be found anywhere.
Any luck with anyone selling these yet?
1. So far as I'm aware the drive that's used in this is identical to WD's normal Green Power drives, which run at circa 7,200 rpm.
2. While there are speed differences between NAS devices you're still hugely limited by the network connection so it's all a bit moot.
3. How many situations is the NAS box speed of concern to your average home user, the likes of which this device are targeted at.
I have the original 500GB Mybook world at it was unable to share certain types of files is this still a case on the new version?
Also is the firmware available to download as the menus are much cleaner than on the original?
I bought this from IT247.com (𧴺 and free postage). So far I am happy with what it can do. It works plug and play out of the box for my Mac, with no software needed. I then loaded the backup app and registered free on line for the web based remote access. All of this worked flawlessly. My main machine, my iMac, now background backs up incrementally to the network drive. I can access all the files, with read and write permission, from any web browser remotely. The strength of this system is that it works with a Mac/PC mixed system. Which means I can access the backup of my Mac from a Vista or XP PC on the same network (meaning sharing a wi-fi connection on the same router). Most Mac back ups are not readable by a PC (e.g. Mac Time Machine backups cannot be read by a PC), so this is really good news for me. There is an application for Vista and XP to detect and manage the network drive. On my Vista machine this worked fine, but on both my XP laptops, I could not get the detection software to work at all (even trying the later version from the WD website). So for my XP machines I had to manually map the network drive - not difficult, but also not at all intuitive for most users. Anyway, apart from this problem, I now have the system I am looking for: Mac / PC; silent incremental back up of my Mac to a network drive, that can be accessed by a PC on the local network or via a web browser on the internet. It is what I was looking for and this provides the solution in a relatively inexpensive package.

oakley shoes | cheap oakleys outlet sunglasses, wholesale for m frame prescription glasses.
oakley shoes George Washington enjoyed Beefsteak and Kidney Pie. Thomas Jefferson dined on Stuffed Boned Capon. One of William H. Taft's beloved recipes was Lobster a la Newburg. And one of John F. Kennedy's favorite dishes was green turtle soup spiked with sherry and cream. Clearly the presidents of the United States liked to eat. These recipes and others enjoyed by the presidents through 1996 can be found in "The First Lady's Cookbook," a treasure-trove of presidential favorites compiled and edited by culinary and historical authorities February is also known as presidents' month because it contains the birthdays of two of our most influential leaders – George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. February is also the month two additional presidents, Ronald Reagan (February 6) and William Henry Harrison (February 9) were born. As this year's presidents' month draws to a close, every American citizen can remember all the U.S. presidents by enjoying a classical American food in their honor. And what food is more American than apple pie? The following White House Apple Pie Recipe was created by White House pastry chef Bill Yosses for President Obama and his family, according to ABC News. Ingredients For Pie Crust:3 cups (about 13 oz ) all-purpose flour1/2 teaspoon salt10 oz. (2 and 1/2 sticks) cool room temperature, unsalted butter, cut into ¼-inch pieces6-7 tablespoons ice water1 egg and 1 teaspoon salt for egg wash For Filling:3 lbs apples, such as Gala, Granny Smith or McIntosh, peeled cored and cut into half-inch wedges.1 cup sugar1/2 cup honey, preferably local1/2 cup cornstarch1 tsp vanilla extract1/4 tsp ground cinnamonZest and juice of one lemon Cooking Directions Make Crust: Place flour and salt in a food processor and pulse five times. Add butter and pulse until mixture forms chickpea-sized pieces, about 20 seconds. Add ice water 1 tablespoon at a time and pulse until mixture just holds together. Divide dough and form into two equal-sized balls, then press each ball down to form a 5-inch disc. Wrap each disc in plastic and refrigerate for at least two hours and up to two days. On a lightly floured surface, roll out each disc into a 14-inch circle. Place one circle between sheets of plastic wrap or parchment paper and refrigerate. Grease a 10-inch deep-dish pie pan and gently place the other circle in the pan, leaving a one-inch overhang. Chill the dough in the pie pan for at least 30 minutes and up to overnight. Preheat oven to 375ºF. Remove the pie pan with the bottom crust from the refrigerator and let soften for five to ten minutes. Fold the edge of the overhang under itself and pinch the dough to form a fluted edge. Line with foil and fill with pie weights, rice, or navy beans. Bake for 30 minutes. Remove from oven and lift out foil and pie weights; allow pie shell to cool for 10 minutes. Make Filling: In a large saucepan, sift together the sugar and cornstarch, then toss with apples, honey, vanilla, cinnamon, lemon juice and zest. Let stand for 20 minutes. Bring fruit mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the mixture has thickened slightly, making sure fruit does not stick to the bottom of saucepan. Remove from heat and cool. Whisk the egg and salt and brush the rim of the prebaked pie shell. Fill with the fruit filling and then lay the second dough circle over the filling, press very gently around the edges to make sure the egg wash seals the top pie dough to the bottom pre-baked crust. With a paring knife, puncture the top pie dough in a wide circle about 10 times with the tip of the knife to form steam vents. Brush top with remaining egg wash and sprinkle with sugar. Bake another 30-40 minutes or until the pie filling is starting to bubble out the vents and the top pie crust is golden brown. Remove to a cooling rack and allow to cool for 1-2 hours before serving. Serves 10 - 12 If making this presidential apple pie seems too complicated, try this recipe for making a simple apple pie using refrigerated pie crust.

My daughters dog, Gracie is swollen up in her jowls today for some reason. Mary called me to ask if I'd ever heard of this. Her jowls are swollen as tho she were holding a pingpong ball in the side of her mouth, She's eating and drinking and doesn't seem to be in any pain. Mary is keeping a close eye on her and will run her to the vet at the first sign of distress but I wonder if any of you have an idea. I think its an allergic reaction to something.
If you have an emergency veterinary hospital in your area, it might be a wise idea to call and get their take on this situation. Dogs are notorious for hiding distress, so by the time the dog shows distress, the problem could be well advanced.
Best of luck!
I agree talking with an emergency vet place is indicated. Very unusual symptom and I would want to know. I have three dogs and spend a lot of time with dogs...have not seen this happen.
Update: Mary talked to a vet who recommended benedryl. This morning Gracies jowls are almost back to normal.
Very pleased to hear this! I've been thinking of her.
That is great! Gotta love a vet who practices common sense and home remedies before expensive testing!
Update to the update! Gracie is normal again! yay!
we never knew....it just went away

Master's Capstone Project
In addition to eleven clinical rotations, students must complete a Master's Capstone Project. For this project, students choose a relevant medical topic and conduct a literature search, as well as clinical research, on this topic under the guidance of a physician assistant faculty member. Students will then present their research and data in the form of a written report, as well as a power point presentation to colleagues and physician assistant faculty.
Successful Program Completion
To successfully complete the program, students must maintain a minimum grade point average of 3.0, successfully complete an Objective Structured Clinical Exam at the end of the didactic year and at the end of the clinical year, pass all clinical rotations, pass all end of rotation objective exams, pass a comprehensive Physician Assistant exam at the end of the clinical year, and pass the Master's Capstone Project Seminar.
Students who successfully complete the requirements for the Physician Assistant Program are awarded a Master of Science Degree in Physician Assistant Studies. Graduates are eligible to sit for the national certification exam (PANCE) developed by the National Commission on Certification of Physician Assistants.
Due to the rigorous curricular requirements, the Program strongly recommends that students do not seek outside employment, even on a part-time basis.

Dental Phobia Review: The app aims to help you get past your fears of seeing a dentist. Its strategy is to provide you with a bit of information about what you can expect when you visit.
This app provides information about dental phobia, some coping strategies, and several types of sedation that are used to deal with it. There is a screen of information on each of six topics and a short list of frequently asked questions. And that's about it, besides a link to send an email to a dentist with you specific question. The last may be the best part of the app.
There are a few photos included of various pieces of equipment, which I'm not sure actually help if you're dealing with a phobia. The photos are very generic and can't be made full screen to get a closer look. They do serve the purpose of providing some idea of what to expect, although actual equipment used by your dentist is likely to be different.
Dental Phobia feels more like a promotional app than an informational one. And if that's the case, it should be free. Even for the small sum of $0.99, there needs to be more to this app to make it worth the effort.
- Concise explanations of the topics covered
- Pictures help with expectations
- You can email an actual dentist
- Not a lot of information
- Written in a bit of "dental speak"
- Should be free

Leg Spreader
Midtown is one of the few neighborhoods in Houston where one can nearly get killed by a homeless man wielding a shank and driving a shopping cart, and then, within the span of two blocks, nearly get killed by a yuppie asshole wielding a cell phone and driving a BMW. It's always an adventure, which is why I've brought my date, a striking brunette with bangs and incredibly long legs, to Front Porch Pub (217 West Gray, 713-571-9571). The first thing we notice is that the waitstaff is all female. If it weren't for the male bartender, you might think the place was owned and operated exclusively by Amazonian models from Urban Outfitters. We order a round of drinks, and I notice two gentlemen directly behind me talking loudly about how much liberal bias there is in the media. I snicker. Soon afterward, two other dudes to our left begin angrily discussing the indisputable fact that all journalists are left-leaning, treasonous cretins. I decide the Wednesday happy-hour crowd isn't one of Front Porch Pub's strengths. They seem to put the "pub" in Republican. We move to the bar and ask Tony the bartender for a specialty drink. He thinks it over for a moment, then snaps his fingers and whips up something he calls the Leg Spreader. How fortuitous. My date loves it. After she downs the first one and orders a second, I make a mental note to leave Tony a huge tip before we rush back home to...umm...watch some Fox News.

Sound a lot like a talk my father had with me over 50+ years ago.
Every dad should do the same thing.
If you watched the show this scene is a day after the Dad got shot at while driving home with the family in the car. The shot went throug the windshieldand almost hit the kid. The mother is still freaked out a little as well as the kid but he wanted to see the pistol. Good show almost as good as Southland.

Kind of freaky - you could have substituted the characters for me, my son, and my wife about 4 months ago. We didn't have an event as in the story, but that's exactly how it went down as I was teaching my son about my handgun. My wife reacted exactly the same way. She is starting to appreciate my methods now, but it has definitely taken time.
Very strange to see such an exchange happen on TV. I like it. And from first-hand experience I can say that it was very realistic.
Thanks for sharing,
Great show, and anything associated with Tom Selleck is usually good. Tom is very pro 2A.
I'd rather be lucky than good any day

Each speaker is individually powered and chambered for accurate acoustics. Leading reviewers call it the easiest multi-function stereo ever.
In a recent "best ever docks" test against products from some of the biggest names in the history of Hi-Fi, the Geneva Model M was judged the winner by one of the world's leading audiophile publications, What Hi-Fi, which said, "It certainly looks great.

/// China's "Wall" Hits Business
February 14, 2013 | All Things Digital
Fredrik Bergman ran into a problem when a client in Sweden tried to transfer files to his firm's headquarters in Beijing: Each time, the firm lost its Web connection for an hour or so. After several weeks of multiple outages a day, he says, the firm solved the puzzle: the files were named for the Swedish town of Falun, where the client was working. Mr. Bergman says his firm thinks the name triggered the filters China's online censors use to block discussion of Falun Gong, a religious group long banned in China.

94 740i 80k.. Rough idle.. white smoke.. mil light.. stomp 1222, 1213
hey people.. I was wondering if somebody could point me in the right direction.. I perchased a 740i around 8 months ago.. car ran perfect (seems like) up until the temperature dropped over here.. I ve been reading the boards and im a little confused at where to start.. should I start by replacing o2 sensors??.. or is it more likely the OSV valve?? vacuum test?? any help would be appreciated :dunno:
sorry.. i just realized i posted in wrong section.. I couldnt find an e32 section
this forum sucks..
Lol, for E32's yeah it does. Could you explain your situation better by any chance? Before anything start trouble shooting. First with vacuum lines and the intake. Then move forward from there to ignition system and then to fuel.
thanks C, youre right.. turned out it was an intake leak.. I found it spraying starter fluid at intake points and listening to idle.. it was a 5 dollar gasket.. geesh thank god I didnt go for the o2 sensors like i was originally going to do:thumbup:

I'm going to offer a blast from the past on the weekends. It could be an old video, a print interview or profile of a famous newsmaker, or a classic story.
Given that the NFL draft is next week, I thought it would be appropriate to show a clip from ESPN's coverage in 1981.
The draft was held at the New York Sheraton in a cramped ballroom. They probably had a Bar Mitzvah in it the week before.
My goodness, was this rough from all angles. It looks like a basement-like amateur production compared to the extravaganza you see today.
Check out the crude NFL banner hanging behind Pete Rozelle. Somebody then had to turn on his microphone.
New Orleans selected George Rogers No. 1, and a few minutes later, he stood awkwardly at the podium, unsure of what to say to the crowd.
The coverage was hosted by George Grande with analysis from Sports Illustrated's Paul Zimmerman and Sal Marchiano.
Fast forward to the 7-minute mark, and there's Chris Berman, with a full head of hair, conducting an interview in a restaurant.
Then at the 8-minute mark, Sam Rosen, in an interview with New York Giants punter Dave Jennings, asked if the team made a mistake choosing a defensive player with the No. 2 pick. That player just happened to be Lawrence Taylor.
And why would ESPN be talking to a punter? Can you imagine when the Colts draft Andrew Luck Thursday, an ESPN producer yells out, "Get me an interview with their punter."
Yes, the draft has come a long way since then.

Papiss Cisse has come through after the early voting favored Hatem Ben Arfa, and now Papiss Cisse looks to be our Man of the Match for Saturday, edging out the French International by about 4%.
Pappis Cisse – scored sensation late winner – YES!!
It's probably fitting that the scorer of the winning goal is our Man of the Match, and Papiss looked sharp on Saturday and was unlucky not to score more goals, although he did miss a couple of good chances.
And Hatem was the big danger man once he came on with about 30 minutes still to play, and he set up Papiss' goal quite brilliantly.
Here's the final results of the poll.

California plans to reduce the state's greenhouse gas emissions by 30% over the next 12 years, according to the California's Air Resources Board (ARB).
Central to the plan is a cap and trade program covering 85% of the state's emissions, which ARB said is also in conjunction with the Western Climate Initiative program covering six other states (Arizona, Montana, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, Washington) and three Canadian Provinces (British Columbia, Manitoba and Quebec).
Another proposed GHG emissions reductions initiatives by the ARB include 33% renewable energy production from utilities and expanding energy efficiency programs in building and appliance standards.

Tax Policy Design in the Presence of Social Preferences: Some Experimental Evidence
Lucy F. Ackert, Jorge Martinez-Vazquez, and Mark Rider
Working Paper 2004-33
December 2004
Download the full text of this paper (269 KB)
This paper reports the results of experiments designed to examine whether a taste for fairness affects people's preferred tax structure. Building on the Fehr and Schmidt (1999) model, we devise a simple test for the presence of social preferences in voting for alternative tax structures. The experimental results show that individuals demonstrate concern for their own payoff and inequality aversion in choosing among alternative tax structures. However, concern for redistribution decreases when it leads to increasing deadweight losses. Our findings have important implications for the design of optimal tax theory.

Happy Saturday everyone! We are off to shoot a wedding today. But real quick I wanted to post some of the Random Acts of Kindness from last week. There are so many overly nice people out there! We don't deserve to know most of you!
#1 {Wil & Janie} A lot of you know that I love Starbucks. Not because it's the best coffee out there. But because it's a consistent, stable, happy place I can always rely on. Some of you also know that although I don't really collect anything, I do have this thing with Starbucks cards. I don't buy them for myself, but I do save the ones given too me. Well the funny thing is I was at Starbucks the night before last and commented to the person I was with that I really liked the new green special edition card. Next day this sweet card from Wil and Janie comes in the mail with movie tickets and the new Starbucks card! You two are too sweet! (btw this is the same Wil & Janie who's wedding photos just got featured on Style me Pretty!) Love it!
#2 {US Government Passport Services} A few weeks ago my old passport expired. I went in to the Post Office to apply for a new one before the summer crazy travel schedule starts. The lady at the desk told me they don't return damaged passports when you apply for a new one. Over the years mine has, ummm, gotten wet a few times and is pretty beat up, but I really wanted to save it to ya know maybe show my kids the stamps some day. The lady at the desk told me if I wrote a nice note asking to have it back and enclosed it with the app they might just return it! Yesterday guess what I got in the mail! Thank you person out there who read my note!
#3 {Jason} Last week I flew straight from a shoot in Orlando on Friday morning to San Jose with just enough time to get some shut eye before a wedding in the morning. Jason drove my car all the way from L.A. almost 6 hours to pick me up from the San Jose airport, he second shot the wedding with me the next day, and then stayed up with me half the night well I drove back to get home for a shoot I had here in L.A. on Sunday! Thanks Jason that's dedication!
#4 {Chris} With my amazing planning skills I got a flight that came in after the rental car company I use closed. I called Chris and asked if he wanted to "hang out" on Monday night at 1:00am and drive us 45 minutes from the airport. He did it! Do I need so say more?

I don't understand my country. None of its political labels make a damn bit of sense. Too many of them are outright falsehoods. And at least a couple have been maligned by so much propaganda that they may not be salvageable. "Liberal" is one. The word itself has become weaponized to the point where even liberals often eschew it in favor of "progressive". I'm still not sure what that even means. Progress is cool, i suppose, but requires direction and a destination. And then there's that pesky Zeno and his paradox: is progress even possible for a monkey with fancy thumbs? "Libertarian" is pretty bad these days too. Far too often the word is invoked as a dog whistle for social Darwinism and neo-liberalism. Liberty being best wholly described by "free" markets and possibly gun ownership. "Conservative" is the biggest laugh. Aside from conserving fetuses and the holy sanctity of heterosexuality (airport bathrooms and male prostitutes being the acceptable exceptions), i'm still at a loss for how these people got or retain the label.

Losing my head…I mean my teeth
by Terry Hargrove
I don't want to be a whiner and complainer, but I'm going to whine and complain for a while. I'm losing my teeth! It's 2010, for crying out loud, and not only do we not have flying cars and floating cities, we don't have a way to re-grow bone below the gum line. My teeth are shifting and sliding like dancers in a slippery ballroom, or worse: two of the front ones on the bottom are gone. They just fell out, and the timing couldn't have been worse. I lost one while eating a banana. You read that right. I was enjoying a banana, a ripe banana, when one of my bottom teeth just wasn't there anymore. And how lucky was I that I was on my way to a job interview in Myrtle Beach when that happened. I kept my right hand over my lower lip and mumbled through it. Continue reading

Another nuclear-weapons commission? Wait, this one's the bomb!
THE DEPROLIFERATOR — In December, what for all intents and purposes looks like the mother of all reports on nuclear weapons was issued. The entity responsible is called the International Commission on Nuclear Non-proliferation and Disarmament (ICNND). A joint initiative of the Australian and Japanese Governments, it was launched to reinvigorate global nuclear disarmament in time for the 2010 Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty Review Conference.

New chick
I come from a family who loves shepherds, but this is my first time having a shepherd of "my own." Her name is Mika, and she is 5 months old. I purchased Mika as a birthday/Christmas gift for my husband. I am an experience dog owner, however, this is the first dog for my husband (although he thinks he knows everything).
BTW... we LOVE to seeing pictures of your dog. :)

Oh, Sorry, I am still trying to figure out the website. :) I attached 3 pictures.Attachment 175826
Attachment 175834Attachment 175842
Welcome from Maryland! Husband's always think they know everything LOL. Very pretty puppy, she has a very feminine head that's pretty as can be.
Welcome aboard!! I am sure Mika will teach your husband a few things, and he will wonder why he never had a shepherd before now :)
very cute pup. Your husband is in for a few lessons. I would highly suggest you get "him" into some training. Find a basic puppy class. It will do him a world of good understanding dog behavior and training. Besides, they usually aren't very expensive.
Mika is beautiful! The top picture looks just like my Scout. You have a winner, well chosen :-)
Sent from Petguide.com Free App
Well, classes were the plan. I told my husband that ge was in charge of her training, but then his schedule changed and I had to take over. Tuesday is our "graduation." I am going to enroll Mika in additional classes that hopefully my hubby can do with her. He certainly needs the training just as much, if not more, than the dog does.
I actually found her in the paper when she was 11 weeks old. She was being bullied by another dog, and so her family had to re-home her. Thankfully Mika does not have any residual affects from that experience. She has turned out to be a wonderful puppy! :wub:

Last Time Out
In the final tuneup before the Big Ten Championships this weekend, Michigan hosted the Silverston Invitational last Saturday (Feb. 20) at the U-M Indoor Track Building. With the Wolverines holding out many of their top performers ahead of Big Tens, others received opportunities to shine. Freshman John Greenlee (Cincinnati, Ohio/St. Xavier) won the pole vault, while Princeton transfer Nick Thomas (Bloomfield Hills, Mich./Brother Rice) took second in the mile run. A pair of juniors got runner-up finishes, including Robert Peddlar (Kingston, Jamaica/Wolmer's Boys) in long jump and Nick McCampbell (Detroit, Mich./Cass Technical) in the 60-meter hurdles. Another junior, Troy Woolfolk (Sugar Land, Texas/Dulles), recorded two top-10 finishes, taking fourth in the 200-meter dash and tying for seventh in the 60-meter dash.

Forys had missed the first six meets of the season recovering from injury.
Heptathletes A Hit
At the Grand Valley State Big Meet (Feb. 12-13), senior/junior Frank Shotwell (Medina, Ohio/Medina) led Michigan's group of heptathletes by finishing first with 5,476 points, exceeding the NCAA provisional qualifying standard for that event and earning first-place points in five of the seven events. Shotwell now holds the top two heptathlon scores in Michigan track and field history (he set the record of 5,528 back in 2008).
Former Athletes at Boston Indoor Games
Two former University of Michigan men's track athletes, (and current volunteer assistant coaches) Nick Willis (2003-05) and Adam Harris (2006-09), competed at the Reebok Boston Indoor Games on Feb. 6. The meet was televised to a national audience on ESPN2.
Willis, a 2008 Silver Medalist for New Zealand in the 1,500-meter run, won the mile, while Harris, a three-time All-American and eight-time Big Ten champion, finished eighth in the 60-meter dash. [ More Information ]

Forys, Shotwell and junior hurdler Carl Buchanon (South Bend, Ind./Clay) as tri-captains for the 2010 season. Shotwell was also a tri-captain last season, along with former Wolverines Dan Harmsen and Justin Switzer.
Meyer Honored
Former U-M track athlete Greg Meyer (1974-77) was inducted into the University of Michigan Hall of Honor on Jan. 10. He was an All-America selection in the steeplechase and a Big Ten champion. In addition, Meyer won the 1983 Boston Marathon. He was inducted into the Michigan Track & Field Hall of Fame last year.
Football Imports
Throughout the years, some of Michigan's all-time football standouts have made the transition to the track during the winter and spring months. Former Wolverines like Desmond Howard, Tyrone Wheatley and Braylon Edwards all ran track, and this season, in addition to Woolfolk, freshmen Denard Robinson (Deerfield Beach, Fla./Deerfield Beach), Joe Reynolds (Rochester Hills, Mich./Rochester Adams) and Je'Ron Stokes (Philadelphia, Pa./Northeast) are on the roster.
Robinson and Woolfolk will primarily run the 60-meter dash, with Stokes training in the 60-meter hurdles. Reynolds has been in the 600-meter and 800-meter runs this season.
Robinson saw action at quarterback last season for the Wolverines on the football field with Reynolds and Stokes, who were wide receivers. Woolfolk rotated between cornerback and safety.
History Made at Simmons/Harvey
As the title says, history was made on Jan. 23 at the Simmons/Harvey Invitational. Michigan student Jerome Singleton, a T-44 amputee who wears a prosthetic below his right knee, broke the world record for fastest time in the 60-meter dash by a paralympian. He crossed the finish line with a clocked time of 7.34, breaking the old world record of 7.78. Singleton is a senior at Michigan studying industrial engineering and has worked with Michigan head coach Fred LaPlante at practices. Singleton's time was the fastest in his heat.

2010 Record Book and Yearbook!
Beginning with the 2009-10 academic year, the University of Michigan athletics department will no longer print media guides. U-M fans and media can still obtain all the information they're used to, only now it's available online. If you're looking for in-depth historical information, statistics, records, archives, etc., the Record Book is what you'll need and it was just added to MGoBlue.com. For more of a general overview of a team, the staff and student-athletes, check out the Yearbook.
Leaders of the Wolverines
Fred LaPlante is in his second season as head coach for the Michigan men's track and field team after 11 seasons as the associate head coach of the program. In his 12 seasons with the program, LaPlante's main focus has been the development of U-M's sprint and hurdle athletics. LaPlante has coached 17 Olympians, 28 individual national champions and 79 All-Americans in his 23 years of coaching.
Ron Warhurst is in his second season as associate head coach, but has been at Michigan for nearly 40 years. Working with mainly Michigan's distance athletes, Warhurst has been in charge of the cross country team for the last 36 years in Ann Arbor. He was the head coach for track and field from 2000-08, before yielding the reins to LaPlante prior to last season. Overall, Warhurst has spent 36 years with the Michigan track and field program and has coached 12 Olympians, 12 individual national champions, 44 track and field All-Americans, and 38 cross country All-Americans.
David Kaiser is in his sixth season working with Michigan's field and jump athletes. Kaiser has coached 27 All-Americans and 33 conference champions.
Home Of The Wolverines
During the Indoor season, the Wolverines compete inside the U-M Indoor Track Building, which has been in use for Michigan's men and women track & field teams since 1974.
Originally constructed as the Indoor Track and Tennis Building in 1974, the completion of the Varsity Tennis Center allowed for the removal of the tennis courts and the 1997 renovations. During these renovations, the U-M Indoor Track Building's six-lane track switched from a tartan-surface to Durathon-surface, and the pole vault, long jump and high jump pits were moved into the middle of the track.
Michigan hosts several indoor meets during the winter months, including the prestigious Red Simmons and Harold Silverston Invitationals, which draw top talent from the Big Ten Conference and Midwestern region, as well as the annual Jack Harvey Invitational, named after the long-time U-M men's track and field coach, who retired in 1999.
The U-M Indoor Track Building has hosted several Big Ten Conference Indoor Championships, including the men's meet in 1994 and the women's meet's in 2005, when the Wolverines won the title in front of their home crowd. In addition, the men's (1977, 1984 and 2004) and women's (1987 and 1995) conference championship meets have taken place at the U-M Indoor Track Building.
Up Next...
Michigan returns on March 5 for the Alex Wilson Invitational in South Bend, Ind. The meet will begin at 7 p.m. on March 5 and conclude at noon on March 6. It will be Michigan's last opportunity to earn marks/times before the NCAA Indoor Championships the week following weekend (Fri-Sat., March 12-13).

Mohamed Diame today told West Ham he is happy to stay at the club beyond this transfer window.
Diame, who has a £3.5million release clause in his contract, has been linked with a number of clubs including Arsenal but said today: "I know there are people out there saying things about me but I have spoken with the manager and told him I want to stay here.
"I know the club want to keep me, too, so I will continue to give my best for them.
"I knew when I signed that West Ham were going to make their mark on the Premier League.
"I think I made a good choice and I'm very happy at the club."
The Upton Park club have offered Diame, who was a second-half substitute in their 5-1 defeat by Arsenal last night, a new deal worth £50,000 a week and are hopeful he will accept the offer.
"For me, it's just about agents being disruptive," said West Ham manager Sam Allardyce. "Mo Diame has never been to me and said he is unhappy in any way."
Meanwhile, West Ham's 18-year-old full-back Danny Potts remained in hospital today for a scan and further tests after being knocked unconscious in a collision with Arsenal full-back Bacary Sagna.
"Danny was unable to give the correct answers to the questions he was asked by the doctor on the pitch which shows he had a concussion," said Allardyce.
"They put him on oxygen and strapped him into the stretcher the right way just in case there was any more damage to the neck or spine but we don't believe that is the case.
"Having lost consciousness for a time, though, there will be a minimum recovery time — I think it's two weeks."
West Ham, who were said today by a club source to be "working like mad" to bring in a left-back and a central defender, were
left shell-shocked by an 11-minute second-half battering which saw Arsenal score four times to seal the three points.
"It was a horrible 10 minutes," said Allardyce today. "Sometimes you can't live with the opposition when they're in top form."

- Arsenal
- Sam Allardyce
- West Ham United

TR (ANNC): And now, Rainbow Motor Oil and the Rainbow Family of Automotive Products brings you— Larry Murchison, Emergency Dermatologist.
SS: The bugs are coming out, Dr. Murchison. (MOSQUITOS, SLAP)
Maybe it's time to call it a day.
GK:; No, Maureen.; There's a couple old-timers out here suffering from the heartbreak of psoriasis and we're going to find them.
SS:; But we've been searching for six hours, Dr. Murchison—
GK:; And we'll keep going.;
SS: But Dr. Murchison—
GK: What do people need clear skin for seeing as how they live in the forest where nobody can see them anyway? is that what you're wondering?;
SS: Yes, sir…
GK: Self-esteem is a fundamental human need, Maureen, whether you live with others or not. A sense of being attractive and desirable. The skin is the largest organ of the body, covering the entire body.
SS: I realize that, sir.
GK: It's the outer protective covering of the body, and it's exposed to the environment, making it vulnerable to growths, rashes, discoloration, cysts, burns, injuries, infections, and other disorders.
SS: I know, sir. But you gave up a lucrative practice in the city doing chemical peels, dermabrasion, dermaplaning, and laser skin surgery for wealthy mature women. You had it made. And you gave it up for this (MOSQUITO, SLAP)
GK: Put som eantiseptic ointment on that mosquito bite, Maureen.
SS (BREATHLESS):; Oh, Dr. Murchisonyou looked at me.
GK: Of course I looked at you.
SS (BREATHLESS):; You never looked at me before…….at my skin…….
GK: I've looked at you more than you may think I have, Maureen. But let's press on and find that old-timer out here I hear he's practically crazed from itching
SS: Look at me again.
GK:; I'll go all night if I have to, Maureen.; Dermatologists have stamina…..I don't know if you know that.
SS:; I do.
GK:; We have the staying power; to get in until the job is done.;
SS: when I told you I loved you, Dr. Murchison.; Well.; I feel foolish. I don't know what got into me.
GK:; I can smell her fear.; She must be close.;;;
SS:; I threw myself at you like a sparrow into a plate glass window. I'm ashamed, Dr. Murchison.; And I want to apologize.
GK: We're flying in the dark here, Maureen.; We're going on instinct.
SS:; So you're not…mad at me? You're not…disgusted and ashamed and filled with remorse and—
GK: There he is, Maureen. Look at him. Wild-eyed, out of his mind, all because of a minor skin irritation. He's on the verge of doing harm to himself. Hand me the blowgun I'm going to have to anesthetize him from a distance.
SS: Blowgun with morphine dart.
GK: Thanks. (BLOW, DART HITS. FN CRAZED ROAR, THEN SETTLES DOWN INTO SLEEP) Got him. We've got to move fast. You brought the antibacterial hand gel?
SS:; Right here.
GK:; Dermabrasion; set.
SS:; Here you go doctor.; (CLINK OF TOOLS)
GK:; Got to go a little deeper.
SS (BREATHLESS):; Oh Dr. Murchison. It's amazing to see you work in the dark like this.
GK: Irrigant, please.
GK:; Suction please.
SS (BREATHLESS):; Good.; Very good.; Oh you're getting it Dr. Murchison.
GK:; Ultrasonic abrader.
SS: Ultrasonic.
GK:; Almost done.; A little touch of plastic. (SPRAY SPRAY).; Suction please.
GK:; There.; We're finished.;
SS:; We are?; I couldn't tell, it's so dark…….
GK: Good work, Maureen.; Pack it up.
SS (DISAPPOINTED):; Oh.; Okay.
GK:; We'll sit with him while he wakes up, and we'll head back to camp.
GK:; Are you there, Maureen?
SS:; I'm right here.
GK:; I can't see you.
SS:; I'm right beside you, Dr. Murchison. I'm always right beside you.
GK:; Oh.; Okay.
SS:; I suppose I should put these instruments in the autoclave.
GK:; I suppose you should.
SS:; What do you think about…women, Dr. Murchison?
GK:; What do you mean?
SS:; I mean,; you spend all your time thinking about these old hermits and bachelors out in the woods.; But what about women?; We have skin too. Skin covering our entire bodies.
GK: I'm sure that's so.
SS: Touch me.
GK:; I don't want to.
SS:; Touch me.
GK:; Don't be silly, Maureen.; We've got to load out of here.
SS:; Touch me, Dr. Murchison.;
GK (CLOSE): You sound like you're very close to me, Maureen.
SS (CLOSE):; Am I?
GK (CLOSE):; It's like you're millimeters away.;
SS (CLOSE):; Close.
GK (CLOSE): He's coming to, Maureen.
SS: I wish I were.
GK: What?
SS: Never mind.
GK: You're going to be just fine, sir. We've sanded away your eczema and that rash and those big suppurating sores and we smoothed out your skin a little and I'm going to give you some cream to put on that
SS: Look in the mirror, sir. Here's a light. (MATCH)
FN: WOW. Oh my gosh. Unbelievable.
SS: You like it, sir?
FN: I'm beautiful. How did you do that?
SS: He did it Doctor Murchison where he is? Dr. Murchison????
SS: Dr. Murchison???? Doctor????

performance parts for Chevy straight six?
I am building a traditional '54 Chevy custom and rather than go the small block Chevy route, I am interested in building up the original straight six in the car as a builder might have done in the 50's.
Does anyone know how early builders would have souped up a straight six? Are there performance parts still available? What kind of power could I expect as a result?
Re: performance parts for Chevy straight six?
If you can find the specs on the '53/'54 Corvette engine, that would be an excellent guideline.
Those inline 6 engines would rev up very high and would run well. About the only thing that I never liked about them was the terrible sound they made when fitted with either glasspak or steelpak mufflers.
There are still a few aftermarket suppliers of speed parts.
If youre really serious about this I would contact this guy.
Also start cruising ebay for hop-up parts. Its going to take some ingenuity and a good machine shop that likes doing odd type jobs depending on how far you want to take it.
Go with a turbo and make some real serious power and be quiet too. I have seen chevy 292 I6's making 600hp with a turbo!
The cool thing about a turbo is, the stock cam works just fine and the turbo makes the exhaust very quiet. Besides doubling the HP and torque at 15 psi of boost.
FYI, a stock 1964 292 I6 made more HP than a stock 283 of the same year.
I did a turbo conversion on a I6 import and the torque is crazy. 275hp and 300 ft lb of torque at the wheels using the stock cam, 15 psi of boost, and only 168 cid!
Just something to consider.
The old 235 series engine is great rodding material. I hot rodded the one in my '53 Chevy pickup and added a 200R4 OD tranny to boot.
There are a few things you need to know before you start though. Stay away from any 235 or 216 made prior to 1954. They had low pressure oil to the main bearings but used splashers on the rod to dip oil out of the pan to oil them. A standard swap for earlier Chevies was to put in a later model 235. My '53 had one in it when I bought it in '93.
Chvevy made two sizes of this series, the good old 235 and a 261 which went into bigger trucks. Either make great rod material. 235s did not come with an oil filter although you could buy a bypass oil filter as an option. Incidentally, early Chevy V8s didn't come with an oil filter either! Many 261s did come with full flow oil filters. Either way, it is a very simple matter to convert the engines to use a full flow oil filter.
Another option is to swap in a GMC engine. They came in 228-248-270-302 sizes and are virtually the same outside as the Chevy. You need a few Chevy doo-dads to complete the swap but no big deal.
Clifford and Stovebolt, linked to above, have lots of hot rod parts. A hot cam and 1/10" head mill is the first step and gets you a more compact combustion chamber and ~9:1 comp ratio.
An Offenhauser or Clifford intake manifold w/ small 4-bbl or multi carb is next, along with Fenton cast iron or custom split headers.
Electronic ignition is available or easily converted to (see the way I did it in my Journal) and is a good performance upgrade.
Stovebolt has a GMC roots supercharger setup.
Lots of pretty stuff is available;

Below are the available bulk discount rates for each individual item when you purchase a certain amount
N-Male to UHF-Female Coaxial Adapter
Posted by Unknown on 28th Feb 2015
No thanks to the Post Office, the item took nearly a week longer to arrive. They predicted it would arrive on the 21st of February, but did not arrive until the 26th. But all in all the transaction with American Radio Supply was flawless.

Q&A with National Marine Bankers Association president Michael Bryant
Michael Bryant, the president of the National Marine Bankers Association, laughs when asked about his background. The good thing about writing my bio is that I think Ive only worked in four jobs in the last 40 years, and all of them have been in the marine lending business. Bryant began his lending career in…more
