Speech disorders refer to several conditions in which a person has problems creating or forming the speech sounds needed to communicate with others.
Three common speech disorders are:
Speech disorders are different from language disorder in children, such as:
See: Language disorder - children
Articulation deficiency; Voice disorders; Vocal disorders; Disfluency; Communication disorder - speech disorder
Speech is one of the main ways in which we communicate with those around us. It develops naturally, along with other signs of normal growth and development
Disfluencies are disorders in which a person repeats a sound, word, or phrase. Stuttering
may be the most serious disfluency.
Articulation disorders may have no clear cause. They may also occur in other family members. Other causes include:
See also: Phonological disorders
Voice disorders are caused by problems when air passes from the lungs, through the vocal cords, and then through the throat, nose, mouth, and lips. A voice disorder may be due to:
Disfluency (stuttering
is the most common type of disfluency):
Articulation disorder:
Voice disorders:
The following tests can help diagnose speech disorders:
A hearing test may also be done.
Milder forms of speech disorders may disappear on their own.
Speech therapy may help with more severe symptoms or speech problems that do not improve.
In therapy, the child will learn how to create certain sounds.
The prognosis depends on the cause of the disorder. Usually, speech can be improved with speech therapy. Prognosis improves with early intervention.
Speech disorders may lead to psychosocial problems associated with ineffective communication.
Call your health care provider if:
Intellectual disability and hearing loss make children more likely to develop speech disorders. At-risk infants should be referred to an audiologist for an audiology
exam. Audiological and speech therapy can then be started, if necessary.
As young children begin to speak, some disfluency is common. Children lack a large vocabulary and have difficulty expressing themselves. This results in broken speech. If you place excessive attention on the disfluency, a stuttering pattern may develop. The best way to prevent stuttering, therefore, is to avoid paying too much attention to the disfluency.

As part of GET ME IN!'s commitment to customer satisfaction:
Head judge and much loved Take That star Gary Barlow has been hotly tipped to be writing the X Factor Winners single. Barlow, who made an extensive career for himself from writing songs for artists in the 10 years following Take That's split in 1996, seems like an ideal candidate to create an instant pop classic given his skill and expertise. A spokesman for Gary has however said: "It has been talked about but it is way too early to tell what's going to happen with Gary, and him writing any of the finalists' songs, including the winner." Writing the song could see tens of thousands in royalties given the popularity of the show and the battle for the coveted Christmas number 1 spot, which has been held by X Factor winners for 5 of the last 6 years.
Simon Cowell has promised that this year's X Factor, which starts on August 21st 2010, will be less about the judges' personalities, and more about the quality of the acts.
This year's X Factor winner, Sam Bailey, has landed the coveted Christmas No.1 spot.
The X Factor has rounded up the biggest names in pop for this year's final show including Katy Perry, One Direction and Elton John.
The X Factor is back with another dazzling season of who will make it to the #1 Christmas spot, and tour on X Factor Live 2013.

Absolutely Perfect - My New Favorite Jacket
In my opinion, this jacket is just the right weight - not too heavy, not too light. Anywhere from 30 deg to 75, you should feel fine in this. The construction is second to none, and the finish seems to only get better with time.
The high armholes give this a nice, fitted cut that feels very contemporary. The design, however, is a total classic - very minimalist with just the right amount of functional hardware to catch the eye. You feel like you can take on anything the second you put it on.
There's also the little things you just can't experience online. For one, this jacket smells incredible. I also feel the pics don't do it justice as this thing is work of art up close.
As for my experience with Schott, there's a simple reason they've been in business for 93 years: they're the BEST! I custom ordered my 654, and Gail and Casey were some of the most helpful folks I've ever had the pleasure of buying from. The turnaround time was about half what I expected, and I couldn't be happier.
Bottom line, I will wear this jacket for many years and only replace it with another Schott. If you're thinking about buying one, just take the leap now. You really won't regret it.

Incredible Jacket
A more casual fit which is nice compared to the 141. Waxy Cowhide has a great feel to it and is already breaking niceley. Of course the construction is second to none. Would have loved for it to come in Brown also.

Understated Elegance
I've been looking for a great Schott leather jacket for about a month before deciding to get the 654 in black. Ultimately I ordered it through Helen's Leather in Boston (wanted to try it on before buying). Couldn't be more satisfied. As other reviewers have noted, the jacket is versatile for a range of temperatures--it's not light like nylon. The shine on the leather is fantastic and the jacket smells great. The pockets feel strong and the satin lining is comfortable.
I'm not a rider and wanted a jacket that I could wear with anything and feel great in. It's sleek but not flashy, slim but not tight. I'm 5'10, 170 lbs and went with the medium per Jerri's recommendation. I could have squeezed into a small but the medium feels great with a t-shirt or a light sweater. If you're looking for a casual, great looking street leather jacket, the 654 is your pick.

Almost Perfect
Just received this jacket after considering the different styles for the last month. I have to say that the quality is exceptional, but with one minor(and easily avoidable by Schott)flaw. Pocket zippers have a really cheap pull chain. They will never last. They should be the same as the sleve pulls. I'll replace these, but I really shouldn't have to given the price. A couple other minor complaints is that the sleves are a bit wide and the jacket is tight accross the sholders when you reach your arms out. I'm hoping the "reach" issue resolves itself in time with a little streach and wear. I'm 6', 190 pounds and wear a 42 regular jacket. I got a Large, so a XL would probably be too big. Regardless, I'm not sending it back because it's a keeper. Next time I think I will order a custom sized jacket.

Great Jacket- I Love it
Just for sizing information. I'm 6ft, 180lbs active build. Large jacket fits very well. I can still wear a sweater under it and so far it's been great for riding. I think I could also wear a medium, however I'm pretty sure it would be a tight fit. I'm glad I stuck with large that's what the lady recommended and so far every one I've asked says it looks very good on me.

I'm in Australia. Bought this jacket in Black Cherry color on Tuesday, and it arrived today Friday at about 10AM! That's very very impressive, thanks to Schott's zero tolerance approach in using FedEx's super fast delivery.
I tell you how good this jacket is, I've had it now for 2 hours and it's quality and fit and finish made me feel compelled to come here, spend this time and leave a feedback. This jacket is PERFECT! The zippers, the quality of leather and its thickness, the wonderful smell of proper leather wear! All topnotch! Stitchings are solid and tight! You look at this jacket and in the first glance you'd see a long lasting product that's gonna get better in the looks as you wear it over the many many years to come. Tough as a tank! Superb product, exceptional service! Recommend it 110%!
Thank you Schott for such a great product! You know your in business!
You'll hear from me again Schott all the way from Australia!

Took me a few times to find the right jacket from Schoot, but this one did it, much slimmer than others, wonderful cut. Don't let the cut fool you though, I am 195 lb 6 feet tall and L fits me perfectly, a bit snug, but thats what you need for motorcycle jacket anyways. The jacket is true to its size, I am usually 42-44 and this one is perfect, don't buy size bigger.

Nice Classic & A Great Fit
...but depending on your dimensions I advise against the size-up recommendation with the 654. It depends on how you prefer your fit. With my stats maybe some prospective buyers can decide what's best. I opted for a Medium, after ordering a Large and with both in front of me, making the right decision.
I am 5'9" and weigh 158 or so normally, and am around 166 right now. Regular off-the-rack suit size is 40R and usually the only alteration format from the standard 6" drop to a 34 waist is taking it to a 33, or a 7" drop.
Dress shirt is 15.5x33.
For comparison, my usual bike jacket is the Navy G1 which I still have after being issued to me years ago as an Ensign in Pensacola. I never had anything on it beyond a velcro name tag path on the front left and when I retired after 26 years they did not want it back. That jacket is a 40R with biswings and it still fits. Snug around the waist as it always was.
For riding the Bonnie I often don an Areostich 1-piece coverall with the pads, but often opt for the G1.
But the G1 is not a good choice for a dual-use jacket. Too much for casual wear or air travel overseas for example.
I have a coworker with a 141 easy rider and liked the fit. A little roomy but he has a 40 and it worked for me. I wanted something with a little less bike look and decided to try a 654.
I read the posts and called in to Schott's for advice. The recommendation was for an L for me as a size 40. When I got it that fit was too long in the sleeves and too much at the waist. Great jacket if I was possibly throwing a hoodie underneath - but if I layer I use the Aerostich.
Wanted something for all-round use, warmer weather + casual wear. The 654, black in M is perfect. Starts out somewhat snug but easily molds to me. I could wear a thin merino sweater over an oxford shirt and be comfortable. Do not miss the biswing in my G1 or the buddy's 141 I tried.
For comparison - for casual and travel wear - I have a Remy Leather "lite lambskin" which has a nice fit, longer length at 27" and is a quality product. At the time I bought it, the Remy was about the same price as the 654. It's now priced at almost $1k and unsuitable for riding.
Moreover, in just a few days I've had more compliments and questions on the 654 than all of them over the last 5 years wearing the Remy.
Have only had 1 ride in the 654 and it's fine for that - not too thin in moderate temps.
But it is perfect for an all-around riding and casual jacket. Looks good, fits and as many of us have said-smells like - and is made like the real deal. Perfect. Some guys at my weight that are taller might find an S OK, but with my dimensions the M is...as a I said before ... PERFECT. Could not be happier.

Ooo... The Smell and Feel of Fine Leather
I saw an ad about American Companies which helped me find Schott. Schott is one leather company that can't be beat. This is my second jacket from Schott. The Brown leather 654 is a light everyday wear jacket, looks awesome, feels incredible and smells of pure pleasure. At 6' 235 lbs my non-ballerina body fits nicely into the XXL. Body length, sleeve length and chest size are excellent. High quality and durable zippers on the sleeves, pockets and front in nice antique brass. The satin lining is perfect for this style. The waist could be a little snugger and the sleeve cuffs could be a smaller diameter(makes sleeve zippers unnecessary). Other than that the jacket is perfect. The leather may be considered light but is still more substantial than other makers use. I also have a 141L heavy leather jacket for colder times. After a few weeks of wear the leather has softened and started to conform to my shape. Schott may charge a premium for their jackets but you get a premium jacket that will last a lifetime. Shipping is fast, three days to my door in NC. I now need to order it in black.

Love it.
I bought this jacket in Italy nearly one year ago. Seen on this website before buying it. I would have ordered here but I preferred trying it out.
I love it. I have only one annotation. I was expecting the zip "double" and it's single.
I think a double zip would be better for this kind of leather jacket.
If I knew I would have ordered with the double zip.
Overall I am VERY SATISFIED the leather is very good and the jacket suits perfect.
I got a small and my size is 48.
Thank you!

Awesome Jacket-gotta get it.
This jacket is absolutely fantastic. I have been wearing it for 3 months now, and just putting it on makes me feel good. From the great fit, the comfort of the inner lining, the great leather feel and scent, and over-all classic and timeless look makes this jacket one you would not regret purchasing.

A Great Jacket
This jacket is a beauty! It's classic and cool without being overly decorative or trendy. It's very well made, definitely built to last. I'm 5'11", 160lbs. The small size is a perfect tailored-type fit for me in the chest and shoulders; the length is perfect as well. My arms are lean though, and the sleeves are a bit too baggy in the biceps, so I had the sleeves altered from the elbow up (tightened about an inch). Now the jacket fits like a glove. I'll be enjoying it for years to come. Very satisfied!!

Finally got a 654...
I have been eyeing up a 654 cafe racer jacket for a couple of years and decided to take the plunge. I was concerned after reading other reviews that this jacket might not be a good fit for me cause I'm not built like a ballerina at 5'11" 210 pounds. I called Schott and spoke to Jerri who was very helpful. She recommended a XL. Ordered the jacket on Monday and was slipping it on Thursday...and the fit is great. I was concerned about the shoulders cause I'm a full 44 through the chest and it fits perfectly without being too loose in other areas, like the waist and arms. I got the Black Cherry jacket cause I already have a black Fox Creek and I am thrilled with the look. As others have said, it's a work of art with style and fit not to mention the wonderful sweet aroma of new leather which fills the room. Thanks Schott...this ones a keeper!

Wonderful, Timless, and great for the years to come
This was my first leather jacket. I was looking for something very classic, but with a nice modern fit, i.e. trim body and high-cut armholes. The Schott 654 fit the bill, and at 165 lbs, and 6"1' the small fits very nicely. I can layer a shirt and a nice sweater and the look is very modern, but very classic. The jacket feels very substantial, and despite being called "lightweight", i think the weight is very ideal. Unless you're riding or living somewhere very cold, this should keep you very nice and comfy. The construction is very solid. I love the fact that the pockets are not make from the same satin as the lining, because the lining satin is usually not strong enough to withstand regular use. All the zippers are of a solid quality, and unlike many jackets out there, there aren't obnoxious bells and whistles on this. Absolutely perfect.
I have to mention, that the customer service at Schott is also top-notch. Jerri was very informative, and her sizing guidance was spot on. The jacket fit just like i had wanted it to. I am very hard to please when it comes to clothes, and i can say that i have never been more satisfied.

654 cafe racer
I got this jacket a few days ago, and I have written this review to share my opinion to any prospective buyers out there. I can honestly say this jacket is great, in looks, feel, quality and style. It's been said plenty of times but the quality will last a life time. If you're wondering about size I'd suggest ordering you normal shirt size, rather than sizing up as the recommended by Schott. I'm 5'10" and 175lbs and I ordered a medium and the fit is spot on, fitted but not tight.
The cost of shipping is expensive, but it turned up a my door within two days of ordering in London.

After years of searching I've found the perfect jacket. It looks great and it's not too heavy for life in the southeastern USA. The fit is ideal and the brown shade is just right. Top quality garment. Dealing with Jerri at Schott was a breeze. Outstanding customer service.

Well I've had my jacket for about a year now and I thought it was time to give it some love. Its an absolutely perfect jacket. Goes with everything. Not to light nor to heavy. Got mine in classic black and looks stunning. Schott really knows how to make a outstanding product. Im 5'11 and pretty muscular and the jacket fits me like a glove. As if it was tailored to me. Truly it is a dream.

this is truly a superstar jacket, slick and clean. the finished cowhide is thick enough to protect your body, but the overall construction is not too bulky for a casual dine out or date. WATCH OUT, this jacket has an open tongue! the cuffs are tongueless.

By Henning Fog, Hollywood Staff
Can you believe we've only got two episodes left to go this season? It feels like just yesterday we were cracking wise about Edgar Allen Poe stories, wondering when we would finally learn who this ''Roderick'' fellow was and what relationship, if any, he might have to the Diary of a Wimpy Kid character. Think of all that's transpired these past three months! Plots slowly, slowly advanced. Characters were introduced, then killed or severely wounded. There were LCD Soundsystem flashbacks. But we're finally nearing the finish line, Following Followers, and with that comes the tidying up of some of the season's loose ends.
Most notably, last night saw the untimely demise of our favorite Follower/fake town sheriff, Roderick, who bit it when frustrations with Joe led him to make some rash decisions. ''I told you I'm impulsive!'' he reiterated to Ryan in an interrogation. Too true, guy! The shame of it is that things had been running so smoothly for a full three minutes or so. As we saw last week, Roderick managed to ingratiate himself with Hardy & the FBI, hot on the trail of the Follower compound. Everybody seemed cool, just happy to be working with a normal guy like Roderick. But then Weston - he of the recent really bad day - pegged him as the guy who kidnapped and tortured him. And just like that? Roderick's sheriffin' days was over.
I think most of us assumed the creative team would drag that deception out to at least a mid-episode reveal, so points for getting things moving fast. In a frenzy, Roderick returned to Follower HQ. ''We're screwed,'' he told Joe. Ever the unflappable college professor when an audience is in view, Joe kept his cool at first. But that quickly turned to choke-fighting, and the end of Joe and Roderick's professional and personal relationship. Moments later, #2 would kidnap Joey (who just cannot catch a break); in response, Joe would order Roderick dead. It's crazy how fast relationships can sour, in or out of murder compounds.
Things weren't going much better for the FBI, who'd been totally blindsided by the Roderick reveal. ''Isn't that a kick in the pants!'' Parker basically said, shrugging her shoulders in the most nonchalant way ever associated with a horrific murder investigation. Meanwhile Hardy, out of ideas and lacking anything resembling departmental oversight, even at the federal level, got on camera to deliver a VERY SPECIAL MESSAGE to Joe's Followers: ''Any Follower who wants to give us info, gets immunity. You can turn back. Be completely exonerated.'' ''Maybe that'll yield some fruit?'' Hardy thought, imagining his next vodka and vodka on the rocks.
His FBI commander made sure to chew him out, but in that very specific way that says he really admires Hardy's outside-the-box thinking and can-do attitude. And hey - while Hardy's play didn't immediately land them any ex-Followers, it wasn't long before they tracked down Roderick. Hardy managed to interrogate the guy without stabbing his hand or aggravating a bullet wound, so that was good, and even got Joe on the phone to describe how we would ''personally peel the skin from [Roderick's] body'' if they ever saw each other again. Then the kicker: Roderick had Joey. Not nearby, no, but somewhere close enough. Hardy, would you mind giving him a lift?
This next sequence was great. We've been trained to think of Hardy as this rule-breaking alky with a devil-may-care attitude, the kind of guy who would willingly torch an orphanage for love and go swimming just twenty minutes after eating. Hardy don't care! So when he flagrantly ignored his boss's one command to not trade Roderick for Joey, all us Followers at home were like ''psssh, show me something new.'' GUESS WHAT: Parker, Weston, and even Hardy's boss (Nick? It doesn't matter) were in on Hardy's plan the whole time. ''Now I've drunk the Ryan Hardy juice!'' laughed Nick, completely unaware of his employee's unbelievable history of alcoholism and regret-focused mood disorder. But DAMMIT if it didn't work: Roderick shot dead by Weston*, Joey in Hardy's arms, and the whole world a little warmer if only for one hour on FOX.
*A serious question: was it Weston that took the fatal shot? This show is so unbelievably dark - visually - that half the time I can't make out things like characters, or scenes. You should know that most of the time I treat The Following like a really strange radio show.
Claire, meanwhile, continued her one-woman show about completely nonsensical characterization with a few scenes at Follower HQ in which she: explained concepts of ''good'' and ''bad'' to her son; tried to level with Jacob, a known murderer but great babysitter; fake-flirted with Joe, another very-known murderer; finally summoned the courage to shiv said murderer with intent to kill. Yes, we all do crazy things for the love of Kevin Bacon but Claire - you're all over the map! Even your ex-husband would have to agree! Which he did, over the phone to Ryan:
''Our story has taken an unexpected turn. It's bad. Really bad. Page one rewrite.'' Before Hardy could assemble their writers group to address these narrative problems head-on, Joe offered his rewrite idea. ''Sadly, it is time for Claire to die.''
Oh, and one of the Followers took Hardy up on his exoneration offer from 30 minutes earlier but really she just wanted to stir s**t up, specifically by stabbing Nick in the eyes. Those probably won't heal. Altogether now:
''And that's what happens when you drink the Ryan Hardy juice.''

Co-founder of Kiva, the world's first peer-to-peer microlending website.
Hult's Executive Speaker Series heads to Boston, February 13th for an inspiring story of how one simple idea can transform the lives of others, from the pioneering co-founder of KIVA, the world's first online lending platform.
Jessica will appear on February 13th to narrate her journey from a determined yet frustrated school child, to successful social entrepreneur and change-maker.
Motivated by childhood tales of poverty, and a speech by Nobel Peace Prize winner Muhammad Yunus, Jessica quit her job to travel to Africa and discover the power micro-financing has to empower the world's poorest.
Named one of the top ideas in 2006 by The New York Times Magazine, KIVA connects entrepreneurs in some of the world's poorest regions with individual lenders. Loans from as little as 25 USD have financed over 937,920 different projects in 210 countries with an average repayment rate of 99.01%.
Jessica Jackley, like Hult itself, is committed to connecting individuals across the world to foster entrepreneurship and bring about social change. We are delighted to give the Hult community the opportunity to connect with such a pioneering and inspirational social change agent.

Osteoarthritis is a condition in which the cartilage that protects and cushions the joints breaks down over time. Eventually, the bones—formerly separated by the cartilage—rub against each other, resulting in damage to the tissue and underlying bone and causing painful joint symptoms.
Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis and is a major cause of disability in older adults. It most often affects the spine, fingers, thumbs, hips, knees, or toes.
Symptoms include:
The symptoms of osteoarthritis can usually be successfully managed with medicine and home treatment. Although osteoarthritis usually gets worse, in some cases symptoms may not get worse or may even improve slightly with time. Joint replacement surgery may be necessary in severe cases.

Was this review helpful?
Comments On Jun 07, 2013:These lug nuts go great with my SS212 wheels. They seem heavy duty and have held up well so far. The only thing I don't like was if you chip some of the chrome plating off when putting the nut on or taking it off, it will quickly rust where the plating came off. Would like to have something a little more durable to combat the rust.

Fluctuating winter temperatures combined with snowfall will put Michigan motorists to the test this Spring as potholes begin to take over the state's aging roadways."We're seeing large potholes developing literally in the matter of a couple hours, " said Craig Bryson, spokesman with the Road Commission for Oakland County.Local road crews are doing their best to keep up with the craters, but they're fighting a losing battle. "Michigan is in a road-funding crisis," said Bryson. "Compared to other states in the nation, we're been funding our roads at a lower rate for decades."Over eight million pounds of asphalt are used every year in Michigan to patch potholes. Add in vehicle usage and labor and you get an annual pothole price tag of $5 million. Michigan motors are paying the price as well, and not just in taxes. "I get an alignment every six months because of (potholes)," said Mark Faranso of West Bloomfield. MDOT does allow motorists to file a claim for damages to vehicles caused by a pothole.

Nicholas Somberg stages what are called 'For Liberty Fridays.' He stands by the side of the road, sometimes with others based on the Facebook page comments and photos, holding signs that read 'Don't Tread on Me', 'End the Fed' and the like.
The protest often happens at the corner of Maybee and Baldwin Road in Lake Orion.
Sometimes he holds a rifle with a sign. Last week this caused a confrontation with the Oakland County Sheriff's Department.
As Somberg walked around with a rifle, someone called 911.
When the Oakland County Sheriff's Department arrived, Somber and the deputy exchanged words. Somber recorded the whole event on video and posted it to YouTube. You can see the video embedded in this story.
Somber was told to put down his weapon after the deputy felt the gun was pointed in his direction. The video captures the conversation between the men as well as the arrival of several other Oakland County Sheriff Deputies.
Somberg is confrontational, uses swear words and attempts to evoke his 2nd, 1st and 5th amendment rights.
In the dispute with the deputies, Somber's rifle was confiscated but later returned.
Play the videos in this story to see Andrea Isom's report as she gets reaction from the Oakland County Undersheriff Mike McCabe and talks to Somberg about the event in question. Play the YouTube video taken by Somberg to get a sense of what went on that day.
Here are some questions:
What would you think or do if someone in your neighborhood walked around their yard with a rifle?
What would think or do if you were driving on a street and someone had a rifle strapped around their body waving signs?
Given all that has happened with shootings lately, including a Michigan State Trooper being killed on the west side of the state and of course the shootings at the Naval Yard in Washington DC, do you think there's a better way to exercise a belief in the Second Amendment?
Do you think Somberg is within his rights? Do you think Somberg is out of line? Do you think both? Add your thoughts to the bottom of this story.
Amendment II
A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.

Wednesday, March 12, 2014 6:43 a.m. by Justin At first I thought- maybe they don't have the internet in Pakistan...and THAT'S why someone would consider breaking this many walnuts with their forehead- insanity caused by boredom. Then I realized I found this on Youtube, so SOMEONE has the internet, and must not be sharing. Anyway, this is from the Punjab Youth Festival- where the young people of Pakistan demonstrated to the world...that they have a ton of free time.

Erica - thank you for the pic compliment. We did the vow renewal to distract us from our fertility issues...hoping it would happen naturally because we weren't concentrating on it and relaxed in Puerto Rico. But alas it didn't work :-/ I'm so happy you could find some inspiration through church. Honestly, our faith is what has kept us going all these years.

Speedway Motors stocks all the best names in American muscle car carburetors and intake manifolds! Plus, we have a great selection of fuel cells and gas pedals, as well as electric and mechanical fuel pumps. Don't forget to let your engine breath with filters from K&N and R2C. Speedway can fuel your need for speed!
Most modern engines have a hi-pressure fuel pump located in the gas tank. If you are transplanting one of these engines into your hot rod, what are you going to do for a fuel pump? This MSD pump can be mounted on the frame and can put out up to 43 gph at 40 psi or 39 gph at 80 psi.
- Flows 43 gph (282 lb/hr) gasoline @ 40 psi and 12 volts/5.4 amps
- Supports most multiport EFI systems up to 500 horsepower
- Mounts in-line (out of the fuel tank)
- Roller vane pump mechanism is extremely resistant to clogging and jamming
- Has 3/8" hose barb inlet and 5/16" hose barb outlet
- Made in the USA
This tri power kit uses the Edelbrock C-357-B S/B Chevy 3x2 intake with Speedway's 9 Super 7® carbs. It has progressive linkage to give you good driveability and economy, but power when you need it. The manifold has a balanced 180° firing order port runner arrangement. It contains an exhaust gas heat riser and offers excellent performance potential. (idle-5500 rpm)
Kit includes three carbs, the intake, air cleaners, linkage kit, fuel block, fittings and red fuel line. Assembly required. Fits 1957-1986 Chevy 262-400 c.i.d. small-block Chevys.
9 Super 7® Linkage Instructions (PDF)
Note: Not applicable to an HEI based distributor system due to a clearance issue. This system must be used in conjunction with a small diameter based distributor.
The 9Super7 Carb makes setting up a multiple carburetor induction system easier than when Strombergs were available new. Our 3 Carb kits come with one primary carburetor and two secondary carburetors while the 2 Carb kits are both primary carbs. See our Multiple Carburetor Tech Tip for more information on using the 9 Super 7 in a 2x2 or 3x2 carb set-up.
- Three Deuce carburetor setups come with two "secondary" carbs for front and rear intake position and one "primary" carb for central/middle position
- All-new tooling for crisp, flawless castings
- New aluminum base assembly allows for cooler fuel temps and better fuel efficiency as compared to the original cast iron design
- Stainless steel screws and hardware
- Original troublesome needle and seat replaced by a Grose-style fuel inlet valve to better cope with higher fuel pressures and improved high speed running
- Will not stick or dribble like the old Viton-tipped needle and seat setups
- Extended brass throttle shaft to simplify multi-carb linkage
- Primary Carb - (1) Middle Position
- Choke assembly, accelerator pump, and jets have all been faithfully retained and accept standard Stromberg parts
- Secondary Carb - (2) Front and Rear Position
- Special base plate with no idle circuits or choke linkage
- Special butterflies and shafts installed
- Works best with progressive linkage
- Idle only off the center or main carburetor
- No more plug foul
Note: The secondary carbs have NO choke, and they have NO idle system.
To make your LS1 transplant a little less painful, we put together these kits for you. If you already have a fuel pump in the tank, use the filter/regulator kit 910-12800.
This kit includes a high pressure MSD in-line pump capable of 43 gph @ 40 psi or 39 gph @ 80 psi, a filter/regulator assembly, and all necessary fittings (including fuel rail fitting). Pump draws only 5.4 amps and supports up to 500 horsepower. Pump features 3/8" hose barb inlet and 5/16" barb outlet.
Hose and additional fittings sold separately. MSD pump requires the use of 5/16" high pressure rubber hose with appropriate fuel injection hose clamps for the pressure side of the pump.
This 500cfm 4412CT Holly carb shares the hugely successful features of the original 4412C but with a couple changes aimed for circle track cars. The choke has been removed but the horn remains and has been specially calibrated for circle track use. The 4412C Holley carb is easily the most winningest two barrel carburetor on the market and comes out of the box ready to run.
- Choke delete
- Choke horn remains
- 50cc accelerator pump
- 1 timed (spark) port, 1 full vacuum, & 1 PCV port
- The mandated carbs for many oval track racing sanctioning bodies
- Calibrated specifically for circle track use

If you have all the time and inspiration in the world to scrapbook, then stop reading now.
Oh, you're still here? Ha! Me too!
Sometimes when I sit down to create a page, I know EXACTLY what I want to do, and I crank that puppy out in a matter of minutes. Other times, I draw a blank. I sit and troll through online galleries, looking for an idea I can glom onto. I waste a ton of time looking for the "right" design that will work with my photos. By the time I figure it out, I've wasted the small sliver of time I had to work. Bleh. Here are some ways to break through that blank-page block:
1. Scraplift! I'm a big scraplifter from WAY back… (If you're not sure what scraplifting is, check out this post from WAAAY back on why scraplifting doesn't suck). Basically, it involves finding a layout you love from someone else or yourself, and using it for inspiration. It's simple and easy, and gives you a starting place.
2. Go to Pinterest. Pinterest is chock-full of great ideas for scrapbookers and crafters. There are so many ways you can use Pinterest in your crafting that I wrote a whole book on it here: Pinterest for Scrapbookers. You can find tons of sketches, layouts, tips, tutorials, and more. (WARNING: Don't let it become a time-suck. If you spend TOO much time "looking for inspiration," you're gonna spend all your scrapping time Pinterest-ing.
3. Set the timer! See how much you can get done in a limited amount of time (15 minutes to choose products and photos, 15 minutes to lay out your page, 10 minutes to add embellishments). Just hearing that tick tick tick of the timer will get you moving faster.
4. Sketches! There is another way to approach your blank page — and that's with sketches! Using a sketch, as many scrapbookers already know, offers a way into your design. Sketches break through "scrapper's block" and give you an easy recipe to follow. If you're already a sketch user – awesome! But did you know that you could be re-using your favorite sketches over and over again in new and inventive ways? Just imagine how much faster you could scrapbook if you knew how to turn your favorite designs inside-out and upside-down to get more mileage from them. Yahoo!
Now, step away from the computer and get to work. Hup hup!
P.S. In "Sketchbook Secrets," one of our most popular scrapinars of 2014, designer Lisa Echerd showed us how to:
- reuse your favorite sketches time and time again in new ways
- turn a one-page sketch into a two-page spread
- create your own sketches
- and more!
Sound good? Then head over here to grab this hour-long video scrapinar for only $9 for a limited time. That's less than ten bucks for information that will save you HOURS of time. Seriously! If you want to scrapbook more quickly with more confidence, check out this scrapinar. I guarantee that you'll get at least three "Aha" moments that will wow your little scrappy mind.
