and welcome to the session at the Alp Annual Conference. I am really delighted to see many of you joining us online as our in-person program has turned fully online for the rest of today. Here with me is our next speaker, Dr. Sally Vinden and I'm very delighted to have Sally here with us talking this afternoon about the digital toolshed is open and Sally, if you're ready, I'll hand over to you. Lovely. Thank you so much. I'm so happy to be joining you today. I had hoped to be there in person, but this is just almost as good. So good day everyone. My name is Dr. Sally Vinden and I'm an associate dean with the faculty of applied trades and technology at Vancouver Island University. So I'd like to welcome you today from sunny Vancouver Island. Although it's not that sunny yet because it's only 5.30 in the morning, I'd also like in doing so, I'd like to acknowledge that Vancouver Island University community thanks the Sonimuk, the Quinsam and the Clallung on whose traditional lands we teach, learn, research, live and share knowledge. So my presentation today, the digital toolshed is open, focuses on the approach I took to building a community of practice in the faculty of trades and applied technology during COVID. So I'm gonna talk a little bit about where I come my background, what drives me and then talk about what led me to develop a community of practice in our faculty. Why I think you need one, what outcomes you can expect from building such a community and how to launch this COP at your institution. So here we go. So just first of all, a little bit about me. I started my career as a hairdresser in the UK many moons ago and I moved to Canada in 1992 with my husband and two very small children. And soon after moving here, I sort of began to change my career and move into a role as a hairdressing instructor at a post-secondary institution. And at the same time, this really triggered me to want to learn more about teaching and learning. So I started out with a diploma in adult education which soon led me into a masters of education in curriculum and instruction. And that was followed by a PhD which I completed early in 2020. So it gives you an idea about my background and my passion for teaching and learning. So prior to COVID, I was aware of the benefits of collaboration as a learner. And I was also aware that this was a gap within my own faculty, it was a gap within my institution. So when COVID hit, I saw this opportunity to build a community of practitioners at the IU throughout this crisis. So what you're seeing here is the original even bite that was sent out to all trades, faculty and staff during September, 2020. And it quite simply said, please join me at the digital tool shed this Friday. At that point in time, nobody knew what the digital tool shed was. But on the invite, as you can see, it told folks a few key messages. It told them that it was gonna be instructor driven, instructor led. It was collaborative in nature. It would be informal and that it was for anyone that had questions, answers or stories to share from the frontline of their digital classroom. And really the message was everyone was welcome. But before I get into what happens inside the digital tool shed, let me take you through the journey of how the digital tool shed evolved and what really drove me to actually implement it. So during COVID 2020, as I'm sure you all remember so well, by the time we reached September, 2020, faculty were beginning to show signs of exhaustion. They'd been teaching in this emergency remote delivery modalities since March, 2020. And what we were seeing was that isolation was a big issue for faculty members. They were working from home and they were working for long hours on Zoom and finding very little time to connect with others outside of their departments. So we knew that faculty needed more support. In 2020, I was in the role of teaching and learning specialists with their faculty. And so from where I stood, it was easy for me to see those that were thriving in this new environment and those that felt they were drowning. But most of all folks were hovering between the two. So it seemed to me that the answers to many of the current struggles could be found within our own faculty. From what I had seen our instructors during those first few months of COVID, the March to July time had rapidly become some of the most experienced online TV educators really in the world. Now, not everyone was at the same place at the same time. It's fair to say that there was a continuum. We had folks that were treading water, barely staying afloat. And they were the ones that were just counting days until they could return to their traditional well-rehearsed teaching practices. Yet there were others whose teaching philosophy and pedagogies had been permanently changed during the short period of the pandemic. And they were the ones that were reporting success stories to me. And these were stories that I felt that others needed to hear. So these folks, they were here and they were in their faculty. So what I needed to do was to bring them together. And I believed that there was enough momentum in the faculty and it was just time to take that leap. So this is when I conceptualized and launched this very own community of practice, the digital tool shed. So here again, you're seeing this invite that went out. It goes out via email, but I set the email up in a way so that when it's opened, the faculty member or staff member gets to see this visual. So what is the digital tool shed? Well, the platform we use is Zoom. The sessions run every Friday from 8 a.m. to 9 a.m. And each session begins with a short presentation from a faculty member and then we just open the floor up the dialogue. So I have a few examples here of the topics that were covered during the first few weeks of the digital tool shed. So this is our blog site called Life is an Apprenticeship, Teaching and Learning in a Digital World. And so here we actually capture the essence of what those sessions have been in the digital tool shed. So the first one here that you're seeing is how to set up an asynchronous module design in VIU Learn. So one of our baking instructors prior to COVID had designed a fully online baking program using D2L. And so her design was very intentional. It was designed in a way that was very self directed, very engaging and also very experiential. So this instructor Rita Gower, what she did was invited others to join her inside her D2L shell which we call VIU Learn. So that's one example. Another session was an instructor that was using Padlet to work with her students and she'd taken this idea from a conference she'd been to and then she'd adapted it for her horticulture program. There were other instructors that were finding resources online and sort of saying, hey, you know what? I watched this Ted presentation, this Ted talk. It's really influenced the way I'm teaching approaching things right now. And so this was one session that was shared with us our Ted talk on problems in education and we don't know what the future looks like and we certainly didn't know there in 2020. So the Ted link was shared out ahead of time and then faculty came together on that Friday morning to discuss it. Now, I have a question for you and I was hoping to be able to see your responses in the chat but I don't think I'm gonna be able to do that but I'm still gonna pose this question to you. The reason why I'm posing this is when you think about developing a community of practice in your faculty or in your institution what are those just in time topics needed by your people at that time? So what are the topics that you think your faculty needs to learn more about? What skills, pedagogy or technology? What is it your colleagues are asking for? So where are those gaps? And like I say, I hoped that we'd be able to share those but I don't think we will be able to. So I'm going to move on. But I'm sorry Shelley, just to interrupt you I was gonna keep an eye on the chat both on the platform and here in the chat and I'll let you know if comments come in. Okay, so we do have that. Thank you so much. So right now if you can think of some topics that would be really helpful in your faculty if you could pop those into the chat that would be great and then we can have those shared out. So I'm gonna move on just while you're putting your thoughts in there and tell you a little bit more about some of our other sessions. So this was a session that was brought to us by Jessica Gamela. She's the chair and instructor of the Horticulture Department at VIU. And she brought to us the Super Mario Effect tricking your brain into learning more. So this session was all about how we could support students to better understand their learning. So Mark Rober's theory on the Super Mario Effect is really about understanding how we can help her students prepare for the bumps that lie ahead as they enter the world of adult learning. So Jessica had recently welcomed a new cohort of students during the pandemic and she had used this program, the Super Mario Effect during her online orientation and she'd had great success with it. So this is when she came forward, she shared it out, she supported others to implement this idea. So just so you know, this would be the graphic that went out to the faculty and then it would be followed by a lot more information. So although there's a sense of the informal about the sessions of the digital toolshed there is a structure. The sessions are grounded in the culture of appreciative inquiry. So we're focusing on individual and collaborative strengths. And my role as the facilitator was to keep the basic principles of pedagogy before technology in mind and also the fundamentals of outcome-based curriculum design. So frequently talking about alignment between outcomes, assessment and learning activities. So this informal nature of the digital toolshed allows for these just in time approach. So this was, I think, really accelerated during COVID. Faculty members were realizing what they needed to know and they needed to know it now. So there wasn't time for the typical teaching and learning center approach to planning of teaching and learning workshops. Although we had those going on at our institution this was in addition to that. So another example of what was a very hot topic back in September, 2020 was instructors were struggling with multiple choice questions. I think we'll all remember the discussions about online proctoring. And so what we found was that we had instructors putting into practice oral examinations. So David Drury, a welding instructor here at VIU, presented on this session. And during the session we created a how to implement oral examination and assessment best practice handouts. So during the session, not only did we learn about it we created this resource that could be shared so that others ahead could go ahead and implement this approach very quickly. Sally, we've had a few comments in the chat. So let me know if you want me to bring those up. Yeah, I'd love to hear them now. That would be wonderful. Excellent. So we had a question from Yvonne Cotum who's joining us from Teeside University. So her topic was video creation and editing. Wonderful. And then we've also had another comment here from Patrick saying just in time assessment design in various tools. Great. And you know what, it's really interesting because that whole video creation and editing we had several sessions with faculty their very early days, elementary days of using Camtasia and it was so valuable because faculty didn't have time to really dedicate to that steep learning curve. And yet having another faculty member share out was wonderful. So thank you both for sharing those ideas. And there's something that I can take away for sure and I hope that you can too. So I'm just gonna move us on here. So one of the things that I'd also like to say the benefits, the outcomes of having a community of practice similar to this model is that prior to the pandemic the culture of working in silos that was historical at my institution. And I hear it is from many others. So the big shift to collaboration during COVID what we saw was the digital toolshed also shifted this mindset around working in silos. So this addition of technology as a teaching tool crumbled those silos in a way that we've never been able to accomplish in the past. We had these cross disciplinary connections. We had electrical instructors working with culinary instructors sharing their D2L shells, looking at their designs looking at some of their case studies and their interactive learning modules. We're baking, working with welding. And we didn't design this, this evolved out of these sessions. Heavy equipment operators can you believe we're working with the hairdressing team. So it was quite remarkable what we saw. So again, I have another question for you is thinking about who are your people? Who are your stakeholders that are gonna support this and invest? Who are the people that actually need a community of practice at your own institution? And sometimes it's important to think about who you need to get on board in order for you to do this. Is it the deans in your faculty, your colleagues, your teaching and learning centers? So again, I'm gonna pause for a second here and ask you to just drop a few thoughts into the chat room. And I'm being mindful of time. So I'm gonna move on and then we can jump back to those thoughts in a minute. So another session that was presented was around digital pedagogies which we know provides opportunities to enhance access and enhance the student experience in multiple ways. But one aspect that I'll focus on today is the inclusion of open educational resources. So as we know, OER reduces the overall cost for education for students. And here in British Columbia in 2019 it was reported that the inclusion of OER to that day had saved students a total of $9 million in textbook costs alone. So pretty amazing. But OER not only reduces costs for students it provides those opportunities for multiple forms of representation, increasing indigeneity of curriculum and accessibility for all learners by broadening that body of literature available. In addition, OER provides those opportunities for the inclusion of universal design in learning principles by allowing students to engage in course materials in multiple ways. We had up until this time during COVID we had found that it was very challenging to bring faculty on board with the idea of OER and yet this was their moment. There was huge interest and we found that instructors were looking for different resources and suddenly there was this opportunity. And so just through this community we brought faculty on board with this idea and then provided them with the opportunities to either access OER resources or to start developing their own. This is a great example of how OER and Open Educational Pedagogy really overlap. This is Christine Quist who is a horticulture instructor here at VIU and she presented on the non-disposable assignment. And what Christine was doing was growing crops of poinsettias during COVID. She was at the main campus in the greenhouses but the students actually had their own grow tents at home and they were growing their own crops but because they could not meet they needed to do this. They needed to share their growing climates, their pH of their soils. They needed to do testing on heat. And this, so the students were creating their own blogs and there was this collaboration online. So Christine was providing these learners with this non-disposable assignment which they could then share, you reference in the future, share with future employers as well. So that's something that you may want to explore later. When we talk about non-disposable one of the things that I wanted to mention was all of these sessions in the digital toolshed were captured on the blog site, on the faculty blog, which is the Life is an Apprenticeship blog site. And so we found that it was really valuable to record these sessions so that others could actually return, watch them at different times or reference them later on. So each one of these posts is about a faculty member that had taken that leap into the unknown world of digital pedagogy. And these were the people that had come up grinning with success and wanting to share their story. So some of these stories represent small steps, very small steps and some of them represent huge shift in pedagogical understanding. So I really wanted to share these stories, hold up each one of my colleagues and give them the pads on the back and we found this blog really did allow us to do that. But when we think about this, this is longer term. It really, these collaborative practices have shifted how we share knowledge within our faculty. So I do have one more question for you. And it really is, which platforms are you going to use? Which platforms are most accessible to all communities of practice, members within your institution? So just something else to think about if you're going to go ahead, move ahead and implement a similar model, which platforms are gonna work best for you? And I mean, excuse me, we've really expanded from, oh dear, do excuse me, we've really expanded from just Zoom and have a much broader platforms to range of platforms to choose from. So my voice is fading, that probably means I'm almost out of time. I just want to take a few moments to reflect on these three key principles that I believe have led to the success of the digital toolshed. So number one is collaboration. Faculty have this feeling of connection to their peers across departments. They also recognize that they've got these shared interests that bring people together. It's not mandatory. It's just one of those welcoming environments. Any individual or faculty member can attend and can find inspiration and glean inspiration from these sessions. I think on the second note of inspiration to create new exciting ideas can energize faculty and spark them to design their own approach, their new contents or new strategies. And we know that it's easy to find yourself into a creative rut. It also provides a voice for faculty member. That's a bit ironic, isn't it? As I'm losing my voice, all faculty members willing to share experiences have this weekly venue to do so. So why should you go ahead and create a community of practice? Well, for me, I believe the biggest change is yet to come post COVID. I think the future of trades, vocational education is a blended revolution. Students of any disciplines are gonna have choice, choice of when and where they take the courses and what modalities they take them in. So while we've been living and teaching in this COVID chaos, we've also been shaping a whole new generation of learners, digital learners. And this is not as Prensky predicted. It's not dependent on age. So another factor that exists within the 21st century is the reality that we're now preparing those students for jobs that don't yet exist. And this rapid pace changes in the industry disrupts traditional approaches to teaching and learning. So I think the time is right. And one of the things I'm going to say is that I hope you leave this session today with a few ideas on how you can build a community of practice from the ground up. I'd also love to hear from you if you're interested in talking about it a little more. One of the great things is you already belong to this amazing community of practice at the macro level by attending such conferences. And I'm going to leave you here with one slide and one thought. So thank you so much, everybody. Thank you for listening today. And I'm just going to end the show there. Fantastic. Thank you so much, Sally. A really inspiring talk and a beautiful note to finish on as well. We had a lovely reflection that we just have enough time to pick up on. Here one from Laura Abram to say, really thought-provoking. And then we had a lovely comment from Patrick here who says, academic instructional staff want their own communities, trying to break that for team design opportunities to include local and central learning designers and learning technologists as well as discipline librarians. So there's other applause in the chat as well. But Sally, do you want to share any final reflections on these comments? Yeah, I think it's wonderful to see these, you know, everybody thinking around this collaborative approach and just go Patrick's comment there. Just I focus today on just the faculty of trades, but I have to say that much of what was brought to those sessions in the digital toolshed were shaped by our librarians, shaped by our teaching and learning centers and for the other faculty from other disciplines. And I think the way forward is collaboration and the digital platforms we have now to collaborate like today just make it so much more valuable and easier to do. Well, Sally, thank you so much for a really thought-provoking presentation. Please do continue the conversation on the Social Discord channel as well as a dedicated thread for this presentation. And Sally, if you'd like us to share your slides and put it on there, please let us know. We'd be very happy so people can get those resources. For everyone who's joined us, have a really good rest of your afternoon.


I'm Emmy here again and welcome to another episode of Cobb U. Now throughout this series, we've covered component upgrades from intake all the way to exhaust that you'd want to do to get the most performance out of your car. Well, talk is cheap, so what good is teaching you, we can't show you by example. So today, we're going to take this stock 2012 Subaru STi and modify it with all the components and systems that we've covered to show you first-hand the kind of results that you could expect. We'll begin by running the car on the dyno to get the average stock power figures. Then our technician will install the new parts and then hand it over to our calibrator to tune the car and run it on the dyno again. As we've learned in the previous episode, we'll take our stock and modified figures to get the percentage difference, which will indicate how much power was gained. So let's get started. With our dyno pools and tune the car once it's modified is Mike McGinnis, who is our lead Subaru calibrator here at Cobb. So thanks for doing this with us, Mike. Absolutely, thanks for having me. Let's get to it, man. Let's do this. All right, so I'm going to get the car up to speed. We're going to do three dyno pools in a row. And then we're going to take an average of those three. And that way we know we get a nice consistent reading. So bringing the car up to about 2,000 RPM, get the dyno started recording, and I'm going to hit it. Let's take a look at our first run. 253 horsepower. Looks nice and smooth. OK, we've got a good start. We'll give the car a little time to cool down and we'll do another run. Awesome. All right, third gear, 2,000 RPM again. Here we go. Let's save that run. Pretty similar to the last one. That's what we want to see. So is this is this pretty typical to see the consistency like within like a Subaru? Yeah, absolutely. There will always be a small variation between run to run. And that's why we do the three and take the average. But the difference is going to be small. Cool. All right, we've got our third run. Looks about the same as the other two. That's what we wanted to see. And I think we're good here. Cool, let's go look at the results. All right. So what can we learn from looking at this? Well, the first thing that we were looking for was consistency over the runs. And we did get that. So as you can see, the runs follow the same trend. They are slightly different, but not that significantly. The next thing we saw, and I actually felt that a bit in the car, was a little bit of hesitation when the car first comes on boost right here. There's this little dip. So when we come, when we get back to tuning, I'm going to try to smooth that out a bit. Cool. Last thing, car made decent power for stock. But we're going to try to take it from here, all the way up to here, and then carry it out a little bit further towards the end of the graph. Nice. So when looking at this, what ended up being our average numbers? Sure. So for power, we had 253, 255, and 257 in three poles for an average of 255, nice tight grouping. And then for torque, we had an average of 242. All right, so let's take this car over, Justin, our tech, and get those new parts put in it. All right. For today's modification, Justin will be installing the Cobb Stage 3 plus flex fuel package plus some additional components. They include intake and air box, turbo inlet hose, front mount intercooler, up pipe, down pipe, cap back exhaust, electronic boost control solenoid, bypass valve, heat shield, a CSF radiator for added cooling, high flow fuel pump, fuel lines, fuel pressure regulator, fuel rails, 1050X top feed injectors, and flex fuel kit. The drivetrain received a new shifter with front and rear bushings and capped it off with a white Cobb knob. And last, front and rear slotted rotors and pads to stop all that new found power. All right, now that Justin is done with the install, Mike has our STI on the dyno. And we're going to do some tuning and some results. So where are we at? Cool. So Justin put the parts on the car. It's our Stage 3 package here at Cobb. We've got a map ready to go for that. So I was able to just flash it on the car. This particular map isn't made to have flex fuel on it. So right now I've got the flex fuel kit disabled. With flex fuel, the whole point is you can run gas, E85, any mix of the two, and it'll work regardless. So it's not that we're not using flex fuel because you can't. It's just that we want to show what the off the shelf map can do before we get into custom tuning. So let's run it and see what happens. All right, here we go. Looks like about what I expected. Now lumps and bumps. Let me take a look at the log. We're hitting our boost targets. Air fuel ratio looks good. We've got no knock. Everything looks good. So that's what we like to see. Awesome. And now like we did on the baseline, so we're going to do a few more pulls just to back it up. And that way we can take an average later and just make sure everything's nice and consistent. All right. Right, so looking at those two runs, it looks like they laid pretty much right on top of each other. Consistency is one of the main things we want to see. I am ready to do our third pull. Yeah, it looks like all three runs right about the same. That's as good as it's going to get. OK, so now that we have the modified results, what are the gains from our stop pulls? Well, it looks like we picked up about 20% horsepower and actually about 35% torque. So we had really nice gains for pump gas. And right now we're going to start getting some 85 in the car. And after that, we're probably going to see even more. Very cool. Sweet. So let's get out of the car and start putting a new fuel in. All right. All right, Mike, tell us what's going on here. All right. So we just trained some of our 93 octane pump gas out of the car. And we're getting ready to put the 85 fuel in. Cool. So a lot of our customers here at Cobb have some misconceptions about the 85. So clear up some of that for our customers. Sure, absolutely. So one of the things people are a little unclear on with FlexFuel is what can they run in the car? Can I run pump gas? Can I run the 85? Can I mix the two? Fortunately, all of those are correct. You can do all of those things. You don't have to hit a specific blend of the two. And that's what makes it so easy. So why did we drain the tank of the 93? Yeah, so normally that's not something you would have to do when you're out on the road. The reason we've done it here today is, on the dyno, we want to demonstrate the full potential of the 85 fuel. So by draining the pump gas out, now we can add as much E85 as possible, get the ethanol content as high as we can, and then we'll see our maximum power gain. OK, so we're doing this for the dyno. But how does this translate when I'm just going to the gas station to put some E85 in it? Sure, yeah. And that's going to be your normal day-to-day scenario. So that's what we'll be doing most of the time. In that case, it doesn't matter how much fuel is in the car at the time. You can fill it up. You can fill it halfway, whatever you've got to do. And the flex fuel system is going to calculate how much ethanol percentage is in the fuel right now. And it's going to adapt accordingly. So while you may not get the full power potential of just straight E85, you're always going to get a gain when you have more than that 10% ethanol that you get from the 93 octane pump gas. And you're still going to see a gain. All right, let's get this E85 in there and get back in the car and tune it up. Let's do it. All right, so now that we have that E85 in the car, what's next? All right, so we're going to load up a tune, which is a custom tune made for flex fuel. Then we're going to start the car. And we're going to let the ethanol start to cycle through and see where the ethanol content settles. So I've already flashed the car. We're ready to start it. So I'm going to do that. And then if you look here on the access port, what we're going to see is the ethanol start to rise. And we're just going to let it stabilize a little bit. Take a look at some of the readings I'm getting here. See how the car is running. Everything is looking good so far. And it looks like we're going to end up with an ethanol content of right about 82%. So that's plenty for us to see full power. OK, so is it time to do a pull? Yeah, we've got our map loaded. Things are looking good. Since this is a custom tune, we're definitely going to need to make some changes along the way. But we are ready for a first pull. So let's see how it goes. Let's do it. I don't know if you could tell, but it definitely revs out quicker. That sounds awesome. All right, let's see how much more power we made. Looks like we got a nice bump in performance. That's what we're expecting to see. I'm going to take a look at the data log and see what it can tell me. All right, so in order to take advantage of the 85 fuel, I have turned up the boost. I'm running the air fuel ratio a little bit leaner. I've added some ignition timing advance, made a few other changes as well. And that's where we're going to get some of our gains from. The rest of it is going to come from the properties of the fuel itself. I've bumped the boost up a couple pounds. And it looks like it's liking the extra timing. Let me just take a closer look and see what changes I'm going to make. So right here, what I'm going to do is I see on the higher RPM range, the boost is tapering a little more than I'd like. So I'm going to crank the boost controller up a little bit and give him a little more top end power. Hopefully we can get another couple pounds out of it. And that should net us probably another 10 horsepower. All right, so I'm going to add a little more ignition timing on the top end, which will help with power output as well. Our air fuel ratio actually was spot on on the first pull. And that's because the flex fuel system just does its job, takes care of it, and hit my target. So I'm not even going to touch that. So let's see what these few two weeks do. I'm going to get the car up to speed and we'll do another pull. Cool. Looks like I've got a little more room to go on boost. So I'm going to bump that up a little bit further, especially again at the higher RPM. Try to get as much as we can out of this stock turbo. And a little bit more timing advance. That's always one of the last things that I like to add just for safety. I never wanted to run into detonation during the pull. So we'll just creep that up nice and slowly to be safe. It looks like we're actually reaching the limit of the stock clutch because we made so much torque. The reason I can see that is when we come up to our full boost level, there's a little bit of a wiggle there. And that's where the clutch is just starting to slip. But it's hanging in there pretty good for us. So I'm going to make sure we don't make any more torque, but we'll just keep trying to work on the horsepower on the top end. So at this point, the changes are going to be relatively small. It's going to feel pretty much the same pull-to-pull, but the dyno is going to tell us more in detail where we gained or hopefully didn't lose, but hopefully just where we gained some extra power. So how did everything look? Everything looked great, actually. So I don't have any other changes I want to make. What we're going to do now is our backup run. So we'll call that last one our first. We'll do two more, and then we'll take our average of the three, and then we'll see what we gained. Awesome. OK. Actually, it looks a little bit better, probably because we let it cool down a little bit. Nice. So yeah, I mean, everything's good. Let's get that third pull done so we can get our average. Awesome. Looks like we got another good one. Looking over the data log, I can see that the clutch did definitely slip that time. Probably because we didn't let it cool down as much. What I'll do before the car comes off the dyno is I'm going to back the boost down a little bit. That way we don't just kind of put the clutch over the edge and finish it off. But that's what happens when we do our job well, right? We make too much power. Clutch just can't handle it. So, Mike, what are the results? I want to know everything. All right. Well, so as you remember, we did our baseline first. Then all the parts went on, and we ran the car on the stage three off the shelf map on 93 octane pump gas. Our gains on that setup were about 20% horsepower, 35 torque, which was a lot, but we knew there was going to be more. So we put E85 in the car. We did our custom tune on E85 with flex fuel. And we gained another 12% horsepower and 18% torque. That sounds pretty good, but when you think about it from where we started to where we finished from stock, we gained 34% horsepower and 60% torque, which was so much that the clutch could barely take in. Wow. I mean, that is a lot of gains going on. And it's really cool because throughout this series, we've talked about these components and systems. It's really cool to see how it all comes together, going from stock to where we're at now. And that's just really cool. So now you guys are going to let me take it for a joy ride? Absolutely. Let's go have some fun. Yes. Thank you so much for doing this for us. Thank you for having me. Yeah. And with that, we wrap up this episode and the Cobb U series.

I wouldn't They'll pull it off how much money have you put on it Joe P?

What did you what did you get it at Joe? 25 to win. Oh, so that's plus 100 plus It's 25 to win 250. What's the money lineup? What's the line on that? There's Vasilevsky to 99 William Carlson Matt pink you put 50 on it five five hundred plus five hundred got it It doesn't sound very confident Joe P And there's Adam and Goudette rookie Otto for a Vancouver Brian Croft you don't seem too confident. So you paid 25 bucks For the bangles to win and only 50 bucks for your Suns to win the whole thing All this all this talk about the Suns and Joe P's only put $50 on his team You should be more confident than that. I mean Joe P.  It's John Carlson You did that bet two months ago Well, you should be even more confident now. I feel like Joe P I feel like Who's gonna stop the Suns Joe? Nobody, right? You said it yourself They're well coached. They're playing like a team. They got great chemistry. They got Chris Paul At point guard running the show. They got a pure score and Devin Booker big men Deandre Aiden They're a well-balanced team. You should that should that's Should be putting a thousand dollars on on your Suns. No one's stopping them, right Brooklyn.  Yeah, that's hogwash show P injuries can happen Injuries can happen. Yeah, when you say injuries when I say injuries happen, you're like, oh No excuses you said they have the best best depth in the NBA. Look at that bench show P That bench is amazing. You should put a thousand dollars. Yeah, no confidence 50 bucks He only he Jason he put 25 on the bangles to win the Super Bowl. He only put 50 On on the on the Suns to win the whole thing That's that that sounds that's nope. That's zero confidence at all With the Suns depth, I mean they're they're easy champions We need we need to see a thousand dollar ticket show P We need proof too thousand bucks screenshot Otherwise you're just all otherwise you're just talking that's it I think that's true Jason deep down. He knows they're not they're not gonna win Maybe he's snake bit from the 90s early 2000s The next auto is rookie auto Sammy Niku for Winnipeg Nicholas I think all card chip in this right? No vet commons don't ship in this. All right. That's the description says but obviously that's a refractor.

Kaila car is pretty good For colorado, that'll go all those will go to ryan herald There's brandon sod to 399 That's for chicago. That'll be for nicholas d I do like those sunset inserts. Those will obviously ship Yeah, nice. Nice. Kaila car hit would be pretty nice Ryan Let's put that out in the universe Yeah, but injuries don't matter jokie. You said yourself many times Injuries only matter if it's the suns next man up.  You don't even support In the bangles and only $50 to win the whole The whole thing seems to be so confident about I feel like there's a there's a little disparity there I feel like you're not very confident in your sons. You taught jokie can talk a big game about its sons But when it comes to putting his money where his mouth is That's that's when you know someone's actually serious about it or not Yeah, but if you're putting 25 on the bangles, I feel like you'd put at least quadruple that on Maybe 10 times that on on the suns a team in which you are so confident about Yeah, but imagine the kids got to eat but Imagine how much how much more they can eat when you win that easy bet suns to win the whole thing They've got the depth They've got the talent you know They've got the chemistry That sounds like all you can afford sounds like you're not very confident Sounds like you're not very confident You know, you should do joe if you win that bangles bet Roll over that money that you won with the bangles put it on a son's future to win the whole thing No, I'm not saying bet a kidney Yeah, I would let it ride joe p Chris joe p's not bullying anybody Rookie out of mario ferraro. He can handle it if you're talking about me. I don't know which joe you're talking about mario ferraro San Jose sharks That'll be brian croft Me i'm not he can handle it chris. I assure you that And I've met joe p multiple times in person so I've socialized joe p so I I don't know anyone else. I haven't met. I probably wouldn't wouldn't give him so much crap, but But joe, I know I can so relaxed chris There's terra herosie to 199 Oh, I've got some bite joe p I've got some bite There's mark sone to 399 If the suns play the lakers I don't know Lakers have to make it first. I told I told everybody listen. I'll I'll I'll be I'll be worried I told everybody. Hey, I'll be worried if the lakers get to the all-star break and they're not looking good And we're pretty much at the all-star break. So I'm definitely Definitely worried at this point She knows she knows Got that bite Lakers will slip in the lap. I mean at that point Do I won't even want the lakers to be in the playoffs? Just to be swept by whoever they meet in the first round That would be fun, bam Yeah, joe p if the laker suns meet in the first round You should he should come over and hang out. You've been playing a trip here anyway, so That'd be a good excuse Come and hang out We'll put like We'll put like dinner on the line or something like that You can help me you can help me with group breaks while we do while we hang out We'll live stream the whole thing. I don't know but definitely definitely worried about my lakers at this point Which I said listen if this lakers are struggling by By this point of the season, then I'll definitely be worried and I am close enough to be all-star again by that I don't know what kind of trades they can even make Mack at this point This this is it. They've rob pulling gm Rob Polinka has locked us locked the Lakers into this roster Every time LeBron cries we drink We should do the same for uh You know, it's it's not like Chris Paul doesn't whine at all There's max dome into 399 But I guess when it's your team, it's not it's not Chris Paul whining It's the refs doing you wrong as always trade LeBron imagine I feel like I feel like uh I feel like espn would melt down all the sports networks And websites would would melt down if LeBron was traded But what could you even get for LeBron? It's like talking about trading Mike Trout Like what or Conor McDavey could what what kind of value Could you really get actually Leon drives it all at 399? What could what value could you really get on trading like superstars? Like you almost inevitably always end up losing that trade if you end up moving a superstar This kapa kapo matt pink, right because every once in a while they'll they'll be They'll be conversations about oh, yeah, what if the angels trade Mike Trout, but like what could they really trade him for? We've got Quinn Hughes Nice, uh, Quinn Hughes is Vancouver and Jack is or is it the other way around? Jack is New Jersey Quinn is Vancouver Quinn is Vancouver. All right, so that's gonna go to brian croft who picked up vancouver straight up Many days ago. Thank you brian Oh, I guess mac was the one he has new jersey. He's the one waiting for well. Here's a rainbow jack Hughes Like there's some value in those marky rookie cards Who's the Who's the better Hughes? Is Quinn better or is or is jack better? Maxing right now might be a toss up between the Hughes brothers I feel like I've Someone someone let me know which way this was but I feel like one of the brothers was more highly touted going in to the league And the other one was less highly touted And then it flipped And it turned out that the highly touted Hughes brother Didn't has not really lived up to that hype But the less hyped Hughes brother has exceeded expectations. Is that right? Ryan saying there's a luke Hughes So maybe luke Hughes could be better than Quinn and jack my hockey knowledge very loose I hear things Let's keep going. Do you like those sunset parallels? There's connor mcdavid for Edmonton brian croft There's nico hersher for new jersey. That's the 399 So maxing both are on semi-good teams And and I think ryan's right about about luke Hughes being better than all three. This is like uh When people said lamello ball Is going to be better than than liangelo and Lonzo There's the calder front. Is he really a calder front runner? Tarahorosi for the detroit redwings That's going to go to see birch About that team straight up Mira heiskanen to 149 All right next three Let's uh, let's look at some hockey scores. Maybe while i'm ripping open some packs here Now lonzo. Yeah, lonzo has steadily improved since his Since this time of the lakers Oddly enough if the lakers um You know, and we knew what was going to happen when when lebron james came to the lakers that You know the whole it'll be definitely win now But i i i wonder, you know, there would be a world where Where if the lakers didn't make those wholesale move with the youngsters Could i mean there could be diangelo russell And lonzo ball in the backcourt And then brandon ingram and julius randall And then some big man And then and then a five so Could be it could have been an interesting team if they let that team kind of marinate a little bit When is jaspy's gonna get a star athlete as guest breakers were in la that should be easy um Right and jordan clarkson too that could have been interesting well It is easy it's easy in the sense that yeah, they're they're around here. They're geographically, it's easy, but I don't know Turns out the a lot of them would want to get paid they're not gonna do this for free unless they uh You know unless they Want to do it out of their goodness of their own heart, but that's right mac i'm a star already There'd just be too much star power 25 uh, uh 50 ryan newgent hopkins That is a seismic gold I don't know how much these Later non rookie connor mcdavis are going for but set those aside There's his teammate for bryan croft Although we've had Panini has had some events. There's david gustafson for winnipeg nicolas d we panini has had some events where they've Usually that's when we're able to get like an athlete to to break with us panini has had some draft related or a Rookie premiere related events where they do the whole photo shoot for the season We've had some opportunities to To meet with some of those players and have some of those players actually Break with us Or the hues brothers right there. I think that I think that would be fun Actually, bam, you're right You're saying i'm not an athlete You should wait till I go to the super bowl experience at the LA convention center this week and run a 40 In like nine seconds Show you what kind of athlete I am Yeah, I think that'd be cool rex if if like majorly that's that that would really be more of the job of the of the Of the manufacturers and the distributors may be coming together and figuring out that kind of sponsorship But I think that would be pretty great. Yeah If we if we could set up at like we could probably set up a little a lot of A lot of Arenas and ballparks and stuff have like space set aside for like their social media team or their Their tv networks can set up a studio there or something like that So that infrastructure is kind of there. Yeah, it'd be cool to Be cool to do that like Like but I don't I don't know why they haven't really pushed that You know upper deck actually did a great job one year When the all-star game was here when the NHL all-star game was here in Los Angeles Some of you may remember a number of years ago where jason jaspy actually Upper deck actually worked with us maybe via a distributor or something like that, but either way They we got to set up a table at I think a couple hobby shops got to set up a table At the fan fest The NHL fan fest they had during the weekend And one of the days they had to set us set up at a table and we'd like did breaks and like I think a couple hockey players That you know came by And worked with upper deck and they brought them around and they busted open a couple boxes with us But I feel like they should do some more of that stuff. I don't know So I thought like panini would do something like that. I mean I thought oh, yeah panini should like work with some of our distributors and You know get some local breakers out there to go to like fan fest and set up for an afternoon and You know show off the hobby and show off what would you know, because I think believe it or not You know for for you regulars that kind of see this every day and myself you know People don't realize actually how much How many people like don't realize what's going on in the hobby Like if you took the entire population of the united states like how many percent how many percent of the population knows about Group breaks five percent ten percent No, probably less than that. You know that that that this live streaming group breaking thing I think people are aware of I think everyone's aware of like trading cards existing and I think I think Most people probably are aware that trading cards still exist and that some of them still could go for a lot But we still have people that come into our shop on a regular basis and I overhear them saying Yeah, I just read about this car that went for a zillion dollars. I didn't still I didn't know that That was the thing. I didn't know that luka dodge.  They're like what? He singled her how much? Boxes are how much nowadays? And people buy it. Yeah people buy them I like it's it's amazing There's Eliz Linholm six out of 15 So, yeah, so I mean there there's a lot of there's Daniel You're tykin rookie auto for the San Jose sharks. That'll be for brian croft. He won that team but Yeah, so I so that's why I'm like, what is it? Like an a all-star game or a pro bowl or super bowl fan fest type of event would be perfect for like upper any of the big manufacturers to really come around and And um And at least maybe even just I'm not saying all week and maybe just for an afternoon or something like that have people Do some group rakes introduce people to the hobby But then maybe maybe I have to spearhead that But I think that really would get a lot more people Kind of introduced to to the to the hobby Bam only knows about the hobby due to word of mouth years ago and only found jasmine's on a youtube recommended video.

I'm Brian Sacawa, you're watching He Spoke Style, and today we're taking a look at ten citrus fragrances that are perfect for summer. First up we have Aqua di Santa Maria Novella Profumo. Santa Maria Novella is a luxury apothecary in Florence, Italy, and is actually credited with being the oldest pharmacy in the world. And this fragrance right here is Santa Maria Novella's oldest fragrance, commissioned in 1533 by Catherine Di Medici. Top notes are Calabrian Bergamotte, Sicilian Lemon and Neroli. Heart notes, Lavender and Rosemary. And a bass note that they call an Oriental Sweet Note. Now for me, this is about as classic as it gets in terms of citrus fragrances. I would say that this is pretty close to perfection, if not absolutely perfect. It's not too sweet, it's not overpowering, it's got a really round and complete profile for this style of fragrance. It really kind of just becomes a part of you. It's subtle, but it's there, and that's what I look for in a fragrance like this. Going to the pool, going to the beach, after the pool, after the beach. This is the perfect fragrance for a summer day like that. I get about three to four hours with this, and it becomes a very nice skin scent as it dries down. Next we have another classic of the genre, I would say the original Oda Cologne 4711. Now I know that this is considered two things. One, a drugstore fragrance. It's very cheap. All I have right here was like 25 bucks on Amazon, and two, a German old lady fragrance. You've told me that in the comments before, and I've just confirmed it with Justus when we were recording our last podcast. So let's get to the notes, which are going to sound familiar. Top notes are bergamot, lemon, and orange. Heart notes, lavender, and rosemary. And base notes are neroli and bitter orange. Now of all the fragrances I'm going to talk about in this video, this one is probably the most similar to the Santa Maria Novella. There are some differences though that are worth pointing out. To me 4711 is a little more forward, and lacks the elegance and refinement of the Santa Maria Novella.  And I think that is because of the bitter orange note that we have. Now I featured this fragrance once before in a video, and one thing I mentioned is that I didn't think it lasted very long. So I'm going to revise that slightly today. As a citrus fragrance, yes, it doesn't have excellent longevity. But I've been wearing this a lot recently, and I've noticed that it does really become a nice skin scent as it dries down over time. Now, if you're looking for that very classic Oda Cologne scent, and let's say you're between the Santa Maria Novella and 4711, all things being equal, if price is a concern, I would go for the 4711. Looking to something very interesting and with a lot more complexity now, and that is Arquist's La Trogue. It's classified as woody, powdery, citrusy, and green, and that's exactly how the notes read. Top notes here are Calabrese Citron and Bergamotte, Sicilian Lemon, and Myrtle. Heart notes, Smyrna date fruit, North African Jasmine, and Pistachio Tree resin. And base notes are Vettiver, Pechuli, and Lebanese Cedarwood. Like all Arquist fragrances, La Trogue has a very evocative description, which basically is meant to summon the wooden cabins and citrus fruit harvest in Medieval Calabria. It's great when there's a story like that, and it's even better when the fragrance matches that story exactly, which is certainly the case here and across the whole Arquist portfolio. In addition to the listed notes, I always get a hint of lime. Now I love this fragrance because it's light, yet it's complex, which is hard to do with a fragrance like this, I feel. It's a very interesting and unexpected summer scent, and a really cool interpretation of a citrus fragrance, four to six hours on my skin. Here we have Musco Real Spiced Citrus. Now the Musco Real brand has been around since the 1930s. It's a Portuguese brand, Clos Porto. Really classic gentlemanly types of fragrances, and they also still sell soap on a rope. This is called an exotic Oriental Fugère, so as you can imagine, it's got a little bit of that barbershop fragrance kind of smell to it. Top notes are lime, coriander, lemon, and verbena. Heart notes they say are spices, and base notes are woody notes and incense. I would definitely say this leans more towards the spicy side of the name rather than the citrus side. I would most certainly put this in the Fugère realm. It is very masculine in that old school gentleman kind of way, and not your typical citrus fragrance. Up next from Penn Halligans we have Baolia. I know if I said that wrong, someone will correct me. Please do. Now among the 10 fragrances we're talking about in this video, I would say that this one is probably the most unique and weird. So notes. Top notes are lemongrass, mandarin, and tangerine. Heart notes, cardamom, black pepper, neroli, and lavender. And base notes are cedarwood, sandalwood, musk, moss, patchouli, and amber. You've got the citrus notes on top and you definitely smell them right off the bat. But this is more of what I would call a citrus aromatic. Those heart notes of cardamom, black pepper, and lavender really come to the fore and really start to blossom and develop over time. In fact, I would say that they honestly take over and you really aren't left with much of the citrus once this starts to dry down. It is long lasting. I would say a good eight hours or more. So the best way I can describe this fragrance is to say that it is quirky. Here's one that's a true classic, Osovage by Christian Dior. So this was introduced in 1966 and was actually Dior's first fragrance for men. Top notes include lemon, bergamot, basil, lavender, and a hint of cumin. Heart notes are jasmine, rose, carnation, patchouli, and sandalwood. Base notes, oak moss, vetiver, musk, and amber. Obviously, a citrusy fragrance, but also very fresh. On the surface, it can seem like a very, very simple fragrance, but when you spend more time with it, you realize that it has a lot more depth and a lot more complexity to it. It lasts quite a while on my skin. I would say five to eight hours, believe it or not. Now, when you've got a classic like this, there's really not much more to say, but the one thing I do want to point out is that not only is this a fantastic fragrance, but you have the added benefit of just a really elegantly designed bottle and presentation as well. Next up, we have Selection Verte from the Creed Private Collection. This one does come with a hefty price tag, though in my opinion, it is very much worth it. We'll talk about why I think that is in just a moment, but first, let's get to the notes. With the top notes, you're going to find neroli, citrus, and pepper. Heart notes, we have peppermint and herb notes. And base notes, ambergris. So I always feel like there is a very elegant quality to Creed's fragrances. There's a lightness and almost kind of transparency to them. And then just that perfect blending of all the elements where it's making something much greater than the sum of all of its parts. This one here, Selection Verte is a prime example of that. It is a citrus fragrance, but it is not one-dimensional. It's elegant, it's complex, and it's just so perfectly done. Now the other reason I would put this on a little bit of a higher level is that it lasts, and that is most likely due to the ambergris in the formulations. A few sprays of this in the morning really will last me all day. Here is a real staple of many people's summer fragrance collections, Aqua De Parma Colonia. As I said before, you can see by the shape that the label is in that I've had this for quite a while, and it travels a lot with me. Honestly, it isn't summer if I'm not wearing this at some point. Let's get to the notes. Top notes, lemon, sweet orange, and Calabrian bergamot. Heart notes, lavender, Bulgarian rose, verbena, and rosemary. And base notes are vetiver, sandalwood, and patchouli. Some say it is the scent of classic 1930s Italy. It's light, it's carefree, it's glamorous, it's sophisticated, and it's elegant in its simplicity. It has those kind of glamorous overtones in part, I think, because it was supposedly a favorite scent of style icons like Cary Grant, Gregory Peck, and David Niven. It starts out with a real blast of sweet lemon, but you do get those notes of the lavender, the rosemary, and the verbena. I don't want to say that it thins out, but it takes on a much different quality in about the first 30 to 60 minutes that you have this on. Not terribly long-lasting at three to four hours, but honestly, a must-have citrus summer fragrance. Next up is Zegna's Italian bergamot from the Essenze collection, which, as you might recall, I included in my list of picks for the best black tie or formal fragrances. Let's get to the notes, and they are very simple. Top note of bergamot, heart note is rosemary, and base notes are neroli and vetiver. This is a very what I would call elevated citrus fragrance, and I say that because the citrus is not overpowering. There's just a great balance between all of the elements here. I would say more than being citrusy, I would put it on the fresh end of the spectrum. It's refined, it's got a moderate projection, it's longer lasting. For me, this is a great pick for any type of evening event in the summer, whether that's a wedding or just a nice romantic dinner by the beach. Finally, we have Blenheim Bouquet by Penhaligon's. It was created in 1902 for the Duke of Marlborough. It was also known to be a favorite of Winston Churchill as well as Johnny and Yelly. Top notes are lemon, lime, and lavender. No heart notes here, and base notes are pine, musk, and black pepper. Now, on the Penhaligon's website, it says that Blenheim Bouquet is as dry and fresh as the best gin, and I think that's a really, really apt description of this fragrance. It has a nice sharpness to it, which is a contrast to the more sweet notes that you find in a lot of the other citrus fragrances we've talked about. Now, as far as the citrus itself goes here, you do get more of a lime instead of a lemon scent. With the lack of heart notes, it does have that lightness and airy quality to it, but I can't overemphasize the crispness and sharpness to this fragrance's character. You get about four hours here, and it dries down to a very nice skin scent. Those are 10 citrus fragrances for my personal collection.
