flat caddy
you guys are crazy
If you can stand it, you might also try a "boogie board." You can pick one up at Wally World in most coastal areas cheap and they are quite durable. Think you could strap on a variety of bags or water proof boxes. Break out the marine sealant and velcro and the sky's the limit. Maybe even attach a Scotty. Board comes with a tow cord too.
Actually, I am looking at a nice Scooby print boogie board right now (my son's). In all seriousness, I think we might just have something here.
Cool - sounds like nirvana.
This yak is about 1/5 the weight (20 pounds with oars) and very compact, just larger than a life preserver ring.
But there's an idea - the bait guys around here put a laundry basket into a life ring to keep baitfish. You could find an inflatable life ring and plunk some kind of round tub in there with a lanyard.
I am an avid flats angler and guide and use a Patagonia waterproof backpack or a Sealine high-capacity fold-top backpack, both with belts to relieve pressure on the shoulders.
Good luck with your quest.
Hey Juro,
As you know, I've already got the kayak thing covered. But on this trip, we're not taking the Seaeagle380 down as the primary purpose of this vacation is to relax and spend time with the wives...besides, if we did bring it, weight restrictions would mean we'd have to leave one of the ladies at home....Hmmmmm?
My buddy and I are headed back to Eleuthera for basically the whole month of April. We'll surely get our bonefish fix then...at least for a while. Can't wait to do some more exploring on those out of the way creek systems...God I love stupid bones.
Hank -
You have found a soulmate brotha! I have done this, and the solution is quite nice. Stearns made a one-man kayak that is very small and inflatable. Many stores cleared them out for $49 and I picked up two. They have a capacity in the 250# range (need to check) but I have had a lot of fun with them getting to shoals that a wader can not reach. I also have used them as a caddy / emergency raft on the fast tide areas of Cape Cod with success.
The only dilemma is if you go too small you can't get on it with all the gear it's caddying. Otherwise, the compact one-man inflatable yaks are a very good option for what you're doing.
It weighs around 20# complete with collapsible oars and packs into a bag (included) that is about the size of a large beach bag.
I recommend putting your gear into a fold top watertight bag in the cockpit just in case.
When I am not playing with it the kids love to paddle it around at the beach.
Good luck with your quest.
Wading Caddy on flats...
Hi gang,
Perhaps some of you can suggest a few ideas.
I love "do-it-yourself" wadefishing for bones and other flats species but when searching out distant flats, I often find myself overburdened with gear...ie)water bottles, camera bag, fanny tackle pack and occassionally an extra 4pc rod in a tube slung over my back. Not only is all this stuff cumbersome, it also takes a toll on me physicially as well as hindering my ability to freely move about.
At times I just wished I had an air mattress or something in tow with all my gear on it. I figure I could have a stone with a short rope for an anchor and drop it off here and there.
Have any of you fine folks ever done this?...what did you use? I'm thinking as previously mentioned...an air mattress, an innertube, an inflatable pool chair (be nice to take a load off once in awhile) or even a childs inflatable dingy.
I'm off to the Mayan Riviera for two weeks in December and plan on fishing the Boca Paila bridge flats a few times. It's quite a long walk out there and it sure would be nice to have 10wt rigged and ready for Permit in addition to my 7wt for bones.
Thanks and best regards,

Canaan grabs hold of a familiar action story trope and twists it into something far more meaningful, resulting in an eyegasm of hormone-fueled firefights! The plot follows three individuals with differing motives. First being our heroine, Canaan, who is a young assassin trained to use her power of Synthesia to fulfill contractual obligations. Synthesia is a mental mutation that blends all five senses into one amalgam of sensory overload. Colors exhude emotions, smells have tastes, sounds have smells, and any other crazy combination that could come to mind. This results in a devastating power for... See full review
I realize I'm long overdue for another review, but I've been watching fewer anime recently in preparation for the relatively weak winter release schedule. I promise I'm here to make up for it with an astounding new title, Baccano! Place your bets folks, this is going to be a bumpy ride! Baccano is primarily set in early 1930's America, a time of when speakeasies, Mafia families, and railroads reigned supreme. But, as with most unique anime, there exists a distinct twist to this seemingly pedestrian setting. Our tale follows a merry band of "immortals", that have, through... See full review
Hell Girl should not be missed, finally a show where everyone receives their "just desserts"! Hell Girl is an anime that focuses on the (after)life of Ai Enma. Ai, for reasons unknown without spoilers, is tasked with essentially becoming the Japanese Grim Reaper/Harbinger of Vengeance. At midnight, there exists a website (hellcorrespondence.com) through which a person can enter the name of anyone that they wish to die. If their request is accepted, they will be visited shortly after by the Hell Girl. During their visit Ai offers them a straw doll with a red string around its... See full review
Full Metal Panic season one was originally released way back in 2002 by Gonzo animation. Now when this anime originally aired, the transition from cell to computer animation was taking place. Fortunately for us, Gonzo did an animation job that would rival that of other anime to be released years later. Full Metal Panic's animation style was considered revolutionary and groundbreaking when it originally aired, and this still holds true today, the style is fantastic and manages to stand up to the trials of the cruel mistress of time. Now I could go on all day about how pleasant it is to look at, but... See full review
Now, I don't know how many of you have heard of this show, but all I knew before I watched it was the that the trailer made it look mildly amusing. However, I watched a few reviews for the show and my curiosity was piqued, which made me go onto Funimation's website and watch a part of the first episode to test whether or not it had the substance to grip and entertain me. It did, so much so that I watched all of it and purchased the box set ^_^! Spice and Wolf utilizes an animation style that is very fitting... See full review

text: A tad fickle, aren't we?This is the biggest crock of crap I've read in my life. The military serves civilian leadership. What you're saying is, if the public disagrees with what the civilian leadership has directed the military to do, they should just shut up and go away, for fear that they will offend the military. Well, I guess we should just burn the constitution and become a military dictatorship.

che trasforma Venezia in un mondo magico
Outside of the usual tourists' routes, the island of San Giorgio Maggiore is certainly one of the most authentic places where to go to learn the true spirit of Venice. Here, on the occasion of the twenty-fifth anniversary of Jorge Louis Borges' death, one of the most popular and celebrated Argentine writers, you can visit the magnificent Borges' maze, a detailed reconstruction of the garden-maze that the British architect Randoll Coate designed in honor of the writer in the Eighties.
Inspired by "The Garden of the Forking Paths", one of the most beautiful stories by Borges, the garden is composed of more than 3.000 plants that reproduce the poet's name, as if it were written on the pages of a huge book.
One of the most interesting aspects of the project is the homage to the blindness of this famous writer: in fact, the visually impaired can read his story recounted in braille and recorded on a railing that will be installed in the garden to help the blind people in navigating the streets, a guide to the exit designed for people who cannot see. From the 50's Borges was blind too and he was able, thanks to his talent and his creativity, to transform this sad situation in a truly inspirational thing for his art.
The Borges' maze is a permanent work of the Cini Foundation and it will use for the multi-annual programming of cultural events of various kinds.
The maze is open to the public. From Monday to Friday: guided tours by appointment only; on Saturday and Sunday, the maze is open from 10.00 a.m. to 5.00 p.m. (visits every hour). For reservations or more information please call Civita Triveneto 041 22 01 215 or contact email@example.com.

The tooth extraction that started that episode was great.
The interaction with his father in the latest episode was alright.
For a cool customer, he sure comes from an embarassingly white trash family.
I think that makes the character seem more real, though.
Walton Goggins (playing his old friend that he shot and put in prison) is putting on quite a good performance and somewhat distinguishing himself from his role as Shane on The Shield.
I also liked Raylan posing as a homeless gardener to get the drop on that fugitive that was hiding out in the trailer park home.
I like how we're starting to get under his skin and see what drives him a little more each show.

ARSC HPC Users' Newsletter 281, November 7, 2003
Klondike Open November 10th
The ARSC X1 (klondike) has been in use by a limited number of "pioneer" users for over a month. We're happy to announce that beginning Monday, November 10, it will be open to all approved HPCMPO and academic users.
Requirements for access to klondike are essentially identical to those for access to chilkoot, yukon, and icehawk. Interested ARSC academic users should contact email@example.com to request account activation.
The scalable vector system is a new concept. As it is the upgrade to both the T3E and SV1ex, we'll be learning together how to manage the X1's mix of MPP and PVP jobs. Once you're on the system, please read the multiple "news" items and check out our evolving web document, "Getting Started on the Cray X1" .
We look forward to helping you port your codes and get maximum performance out of this exciting machine.
ARSC Announces Installation of Cray X1
[ ARSC press release, 4 November 2003 ]
Scientists are gearing up to begin production runs on the Arctic Region Supercomputing Center's newest computer, a Cray X1. The system, which was accepted by the center last week, is a 128-processor vector processing computer called Klondike and serial #6.
Pioneer users of Klondike from the Naval Postgraduate School (NPS), are already optimizing a coupled ice-ocean model to run on the system.
"The speed of this new computer is allowing us to plan a project of a magnitude that we would not have attempted on other systems," said Wieslaw Maslowski of NPS. "The speed-ups on the tests we've run suggest a performance of one hundred times better than what we were seeing on previous Cray computers."
The researchers will be using Klondike to run a pan arctic, eddy resolving coupled ice-ocean model of the last fifty years forced with recently released atmospheric reanalysis data for 1957 to the present from the European Centre of Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF, Era-40). The model will provide important insights into the operation of the Arctic Ocean system, including its variability and recent decreases in the ice cover and thickness that have been demonstrated through satellite and submarine data. Understanding of future changes in the arctic region may become critical from both commercial and defense perspectives. If warming in the arctic continues, there will be at least summer access to northern sea routes connecting the Pacific Ocean and Europe, an alternative route to the Panama Canal.
"If this warming continues, the U.S. Navy may soon need to focus on the Arctic Ocean (after a break since the cold war) to meet operational requirements in this area related to search and rescue, and tactical- and defense-related activities," says Maslowski. "Realistic simulations of arctic environmental change will allow us to understand the history of the Northern Polar Region, predict scenarios of future change, as well as to investigate the limits of predictability."
"This project is contributing to a topic that is significant to both the arctic and the world," said ARSC director Frank Williams. "We're pleased to be able to provide the tools that will make this level of scientific study possible."
Taming the Hpmcount Beast
[ Thanks to Kate Hedstrom of ARSC for this article. ]
As mentioned in newsletter #251 , the command for getting performance information on the IBM is called hpmcount. Hpmcount for Power4 (iceflyer) has a different set of groups and options compared to the Power3 (icehawk). The complete documentation is available at:
http://www.sdsc.edu/SciApps/IBM_tools/ibm_toolkit/HPM_2_4_3.htmland a short reminder can be gotten from "hpmcount -h".
The default is for the hpmcount output to go to stdout along with the normal output from your job. When using multiple processes in MPI jobs, all processes will send output to the same stdout file. One useful option is "-o file" which will, instead, create one file per process, with names like file_<NNNN>.<PPPP> (where "<NNNN>" is the process number and "<PPPP>" is the PID number of process 0). For example, "file_0000.3456". With 16 processes, this would give you a directory with 16 hpmcount output files.
No one wants to look through all 16 files, so I have written a Perl script to extract information. This script works whether you have the 16 individual files or all 16 outputs in one file. It only works for the default performance counter group of 60, but can be modified for the other useful groups if you need to look at cache issues, for instance.
I ran my job inside a loadleveller script with:
poe /usr/local/bin/hpmcount -g 60 -o hpmcount ./oceanM ocean_bench.inwhich produced the 16 hpmcount files. The lines of output I am interested in are:
Total execution time (wall clock time): 123.622415 seconds Maximum resident set size : 41684 Kbytes Flip rate (flips / WCT) : 229.951 Mflip/sec Flips / user time : 245.685 Mflip/secI want to extract the longest time, the largest set size, and the totals for the flips numbers. Flips are floating point instructions per second and are similar to Flops as reported on the Crays.
My script is called hpmavg and is run with the command:
% ./hpmavg hpmcount*and produces output like this:
Total (wall) time : 123.622415 from 16 procs Max size : 43852 from 16 procs Flip rate : 3714.56 total or 232.16 per proc Flips / user time : 3771.631 total or 235.7269375 per procThe script isn't anything special, but might give you ideas for creating your own hpmcount reports. Here it is:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w # # Report on a collection of hpmcount files on IBM. # Usage: hpmavg file1 [file2 ...] use strict; my $time = 0; my $size = 0; my $sum1 = 0; my $sum2 = 0; my $num1 = 0; my $num2 = 0; my $num3 = 0; my $num4 = 0; while (<>) { if (/\(wall clock time\)\s*:\s+(\d+\.\d+)/ ) { $num1++; $time = ($1 > $time) ? $1 : $time; } if (/resident set size\s+:\s+(\d+)/ ) { $num2++; $size = ($1 > $size) ? $1 : $size; } if (/Flip rate \(flips \/ WCT\)\s+:\s+(\d+\.\d+)/ ) { $num3++; $sum1 += $1; } if (/Flips \/ user time\s+:\s+(\d+\.\d+)/ ) { $num4++; $sum2 += $1; } } my $avg1 = $sum1 / $num3; my $avg2 = $sum2 / $num4; print "Total (wall) time : $time from $num1 procs\n"; print "Max size : $size from $num2 procs\n"; print "Flip rate : $sum1 total or $avg1 per proc\n"; print "Flips / user time : $sum2 total or $avg2 per proc\n";

The trick to overcoming the varying number of spaces is to also use the '-b' option to ignore leading blanks. Finally use '-n' to sort numerically. For example, to sort on the "REAL" column (column 4), you can use: sort -b -n -k 4 myfile Or in shorthand: sort -bnk 4 myfile Or in obfuscated mode:) sort -k 4bn myfile # # Thanks to Martin Luthi: # Use the sort field indicator +n. For example sorting the third column would be: mybox> sort +3 yourfile Or mybox> sort -k 3 yourfile Many more examples are given in "Unix Power Tools", O'Reilly # # And thanks to Greg Newby: # The Unix "sort" command is smart enough to skip fields of varying numbers of tabs or spaces. Use "+X" to skip to field "X" (the first field is #1). Also, use "-n" to sort numerically rather than lexically, and "-r" to reverse the sort. If you want to do more complex things (such as extract certain fields, or add information) consider these commands.

I'm very disappointed with the look of the new iBook. I'll probably still get one, but I liked the gumdrop look of the older models. I want a laptop that says "fuck all you matte-black ThinkPad carrying NT-using stuffed shirts. I'm having fun with my computer and I'm still smarter than you."
I think Apple sold out in order to have to greater market appeal to the abovementioned stuffed shirts.
Maybe they'll bring back tangerine. That would be some redemption.

Assuming I know Carradine is going to be there in the 2nd, I go Banks in the 1st. If I don't feel good about Carradine being there, I probably lean toward caution and draft Werner and look for someone like Trufant with one of my 2nd's. The way I see the board, I feel that we'll likely look to a DE or CB in the 1st and whichever we don't draft in the 1st, we'll look to with one of our 2nd's. With the other 2nd, I think we go WR, and I think we also use one of the 3rd's on a WR. Of course, Ireland has passed on obvious clusters of talent at the WR position for years, and he's passed on BPA at positions of need for years (Earl Thomas, anyone?). So if he's still on board, who knows?
As to Hunter, he is one of the most intriguing players in this entire draft, but you've got to factor in the injury. If Miami ends up picking in the 20's, I'd definitely take the chance on Hunter. His tools are rare, in my opinion, in that he can stretch the field both vertically and horizontally. It's a nice weapon for a qb to have when a guy can go up and get the ball and consistently win those battles. There are safer picks at wide receiver to be sure, but I don't think there's anyone with more talent.
The updated mock has us drafting Werner.
Now, it's back to Hunter. Ballz.
Here's the mock by the guy who actually runs the site: http://walterfootball.com/draft2013.php
I'd LOVE to have Bjoern Werner.

Long before the concept that men are from Mars and women are from Venus entered the pop-psychological lexicon, historian, activist, and A People's History of the United States scribe Howard Zinn penned his play Daughter of Venus, a revised version of which is in its Boston premiere by Suffolk University and Boston Playwrights' Theatre (at BPT through February 8). At heart an In the Matter of J. Robert Oppenheimer–esque consideration of whether the good fight against weapon-proliferating governments is best fought by whistle-blowing protest or insider sabotage, the play is framed as a family conflict. The progenitors of the quarrel are biophysicist Paolo, who is undergoing an ethical crisis spurred by an invitation to act as scientific Cassandra on a biochemical-weapon-development project, and his wife, Lucy, an anti-nuke activist who has recently attempted suicide. According to Paolo, our warmongering earth weighed heavily on Lucy, who longed "to live on a more hospitable planet." But forget about the male-female thing. Taking up the fight for her hospitalized mom is fierce twentysomething daughter Aramintha, who comes into the ring bearing a heavy mantle of political idealism and filial resentment but whose argumentative skills are drawn more from Mars than from Venus.
A quarter-century ago, Daughter of Venus was about how best to stop the nuclear-arms race. In the wake of the Cold War, Zinn has tweaked it to encompass the War on Terror, the free pass that war seems to have given our government to come up with ever more deadly means to fight it, and the best way for impassioned liberals to combat the powers that be (represented now as then by a sinister if avuncular representative of the Rand Corporation).
As it probably did when it premiered at New York's Theatre for the New City in 1985, Zinn's drama smacks of a political discussion dressed up in domestic clothing. Moreover, the outfit's pretty flamboyant, accessorized as it is not just by the sudden second-act appearance of a gun but also by a mentally challenged manchild, Paolo and Lucy's son Jamie, whose disability may be tied to radiation exposure from the project on which his father made his name. The estranged Paolo and Aramintha are, it's clear, at odds over more than whether he should take the job with the government, and the tenderness between Paolo and Lucy has been poisoned by disagreement over how best to protect family and accomplish political ends. But these considerable complications all take a back seat to the political debate, which seems to cheat them. And the folding of gentle, retarded, obsessive Jamie into the family dynamic does not always ring true.
Still, director Wesley Savick imposes on Zinn's podium a melancholic, dreamlike structure that makes it seem more at home on stage. The play moves between immediate, present reality and more fractured flashback. And on Jon Savage's abstract set, where empty picture frames float over what looks more like a metal-roped boxing ring than a NYC parlor, past and present are allowed to intrude on each other, with the absent Lucy a hovering, flickering influence, her piano improvisations an emotional, atmospheric glue beneath the heated conversations.

Lambic Summit Report
Boon Oude Geuze
Urinal mostly, with a bit more sourness than the 3F, but not much. Frank Boon said their brew days last about twelve and a half hours, and the beer is 18 months old on average at bottling. Boon does most of
their aging in large oak tuns unlike the other two who use smaller barrels primarily.
Drie Fonteinen J&J Blauw
Cantillon Lou Pepe Kriek
Cantillon Pinot d'Aunis
Cantillon LH12
This one was aged for 61 months in used Cognac barrels in the "optimal" part of the cellar where the temperature and humidity are perfect. It had a big Cognac/wood/barrel character and a nice sharp, lightly-acetic, base (after that long I was surprised there wasn't more earthy/fruity funk). Virtually no carbonation, this was unblended straight from the oak. 50 Degrees North 4 Degrees East was a similar release, but was blended and contained beer that spent only 2 years in barrels.
Spirit'Armand (Drie Fonteinen Distilled Gueuze)
Sharp and boozy, but I got just a hint of Gueuze fruitiness. I'm not a big fan of hard liquor, but there is certainly a chance that this could be refined into an interesting beverage. It was made from heat damaged Gueuze that resulted from a thermostat malfunction at the warehouse. The short video below is of Armand talking about it (again thanks to Ryan).
Several more videos have been posted on YouTube.
Sadly the nitty-gritty of wort production, inoculation, aging etc... wasn't really touched on. The questions from the audience tended to be on pretty bland subjects (one person asked three times about why there are beers labeled Oude Kriek, but not Oude Framboise... Government red tape). There was also too much discussion about why Cantillon isn't part of HORAL (Jean doesn't want to be part of a group started to protect traditional Lambic brewing with breweries that do mostly sweetened Lambics). The importer for Boon beers also wanted to rehash whether or not the awful Boon Kriek had artificial sweeteners in it (who cares when a beer is that unpleasant to drink?). Apparently the better/unsweetened Boon Lambics only just got import approval, so they weren't available for this event (to contrast that Jean mentioned that several of the Cantillon beers served "Do not exist.").
One of the more interesting topics was what the three breweries had to do during the lean years of Lambic sales to stay in business. Cantillon opened their museum, Drie Fonteienen opened a restaurant, and Boon made more commercial products. It shows just how poor the market was for these beers as recently as 20 years ago, it was also nice to hear all of them express appreciation for the enthusiasm (deep pockets) of American beer lovers.
Jean mentioned that he really enjoyed a rhubarb lambic (Zhwanze 2008) that he had made, seems like something worth a gallon test batch (although I didn't care for Haandbakk). It was great in general to hear that there is still that drive for experimentation and improvement, not just reliance on tradition.
After the three hour event we made a quick stop at Monk's Cafe for samples of Lost Abbey's Duck Duck Gooze (their take on a Gueuze) and Veritas 007 (Duck Duck Gooze aged on Cabernet Franc grapes from what I understand) before heading back to DC. Both beers were excellent, but not as good as the Belgians. The DDG had some interesting funky complexities, and a nice bright acidity that wasn't too heavy handed. The Veritas was more acidic, with the subtle wine character mingling nicely with the fruity complexities of the base beer. It was terrific that Monk's was only charging $6 a tulip for these two when bottles go for $30 at the brewery and several times that on eBay. They had some stronger/darker beers on as well (Angel's Share and the Bruery's Melange #3), but after a night of light/tart beers a sip of each was more than enough for me (sadly Oude Tart from the Bruery event the previous night had kicked before we arrived).
A very inspiring night indeed, time to start a renewed effort at making my own blended sour beers.

Darth Vader is becoming the Mickey Mouse of Star Wars.
Kylo Ren - came from Space Brooklyn, although he moved to Space Williamsburg before it was trendy.
The use of a lightsaber does not make one a Jedi, it is the ability to not use it.
The packaging looks animated, I wonder if these figures will have an animated style as well.
Is it just me, or does anyone get a sort of attempt at a "Serenity: The Animated Series" vibe based on that bit about the Ghost?
That's my jacket!

Even though this line look could easily cause flashbacks to the first Legacy Collection card, I dig it. The helmet does indeed look like it's based on the stormtrooper image they revealed at SDCC, but those images were all at an angle and this art looks a little less stylized. Anyway, while I assume that's the only Rebels reveal from Hasbro for the weekend, I'm really looking forward to news about the show from Saturday's panel, and hopefully we'll see some actual Hasbro items at Toy Fair.
I assume The Black Series (in both scales) and this Rebels line will coexist and ship separately but side-by-side as The Vintage Collection and TCW did, but this makes me wonder how long Saga Legends and Mission Series will continue. I also want to know if the figures will have much articulation and how much they'll be priced. (For the record, I feel this is too many different lines and would like to see an $8 line that has around eight to ten points of articulation and strong accessories for the new series and movie, but that's just me.)
I was also a fan of The Clone Wars line, though it can be a frustrating to some folks when figures don't match the rest of the collection or it feels like they have to start all over (which is happening again with some collectors' reactions to the 6" figures). Plus, the fact that TCW line ended means we're never going to get any new figures that match this style, but now it feels like starting over again when they bring TCW into the regular line.
As to the premise of the show - I'll check specifics soon, but in early planning stages, TCW originally had nothing to do with Anakin or Obi-Wan an instead followed the ragtag crew of a Falcon-esque ship. I wonder if any of those elements will make it into Rebels.
I'm curious if it's an animated line or not. Doesn't bother me either way. I liked the CW line and hated to see it end. There were a multitude of figures that could've been created in the CW universe that weren't.

While I am all for keeping our dogs safe and healthy, there are some glaring problems with the implications of this report.
- There are no studies that indicate trace levels of these chemicals cause harm to dogs.
- The one study they cite that found higher levels of these chemicals in dogs than in humans could not determine the source(s), (i.e., they have not controlled for environment).
- This study acknowledged that chewing caused higher release of the target chemicals; bumpers are rarely used as chew toys and such use is typically against the manufactures recommendations. No levels were ID'd for chewing vs non-chewed. It could be that non-chewed exposure is at a level that is more acceptable.
- This study did not use real dog saliva and therefore any conclusions derived in reference to dogs is complete speculation.
- This is unpublished. That is to say, it is not yet verifiable "science" as it has yet to withstand the rigors of peer review.
The EHN knows all these weaknesses and yet they are irresponsibly propagandizing this since it fits their world view. Expected of an Environmental special interest organization.
IF it is found that there really is an immanent health risk then certainly I would expect bumper manufacturers will alter their manufacturing. But the way this is presently being reported is scientifically and socially irresponsible.

Quick preview: Wisconsin vs. Ole Miss
Badgers, Rebels tip off Friday 11:40 a.m. on truTV
KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Mississippi is fresh off its first SEC tournament title since 1981 and has the type of fearless scorer in Marshall Henderson that can key a deep run in the NCAA Tournament.
Fifth-seeded Wisconsin, which opens its tournament run against the Rebels on Friday in Kansas City, Mo., is one of the best teams in the country at controlling the tempo with its defense and will force Henderson to take tough shots.
No. 12 seed Mississippi is making its first Tournament appearance since 2002.
The Badgers beat a pair of top-10 teams in Michigan and Indiana on back-to-back days before falling to Ohio State in the Big Ten title game Sunday.
Wisconsin is making its 15th straight NCAA Tournament appearance and has won its opening game in each of the last seven seasons.
Ole Miss had to fight through one of the best defensive teams in the country in its SEC tournament final against Florida and proved it could win without reaching 80 points by taking three tight games in the conference tournament.
TV: 11:40 a.m., truTV
ABOUT MISSISSIPPI (26-8): The Rebels were a bubble team before the start of the SEC tournament but took their fate out of the selection committee's hands by earning the automatic berth. Henderson scored 18 of his 21 points in the second half as Mississippi overcame a 12-point halftime deficit to earn a 66-63 victory over the Gators on Sunday. Henderson led the SEC in scoring and has averaged 23.4 points during the Rebels' five-game winning streak. "So much is made about the NCAA Tournament," Ole Miss coach Andy Kennedy said. "I was just glad to get the albatross that is the NCAA Tournament off the neck of our program so people can now exhale and get a new focal point."
ABOUT WISCONSIN (23-11): The Badgers have lost in the Sweet Sixteen in each of the last two seasons and are hoping a strong end of the regular season and Big Ten tournament can give them the momentum to make a deep run this spring. After coming out on top in those two battles with Michigan and Indiana, Wisconsin ran out of gas in the second half of Sunday's title game against Ohio State. The Badgers were outrebounded 39-38 and will need to find a way to keep Mississippi forward Murphy Holloway off the glass.
Three points to consider:
1. Holloway is shooting 66 percent during Mississippi's five-game winning streak.
2. Wisconsin G Ben Burst has scored in double figures in 11 of the last 13 games.
3. The Rebels have lost the opening game in four of the six NCAA Tournament appearances in school history.
PREDICTION: Wisconsin 66, Mississippi 65

How much would you pay for 3D glasses? If you said "Nothing, they come with the price of an Imax movie , dumb-dumb," then you're woefully fashion-backward. See, the new hot product on the market are expensive 3D glasses by designers like Gucci and Armani, which you need to buy like, yesterday, because how else will everyone in that dark theater know how cool you are?

Ubuntu One 0.90.2
We've been in a controlled beta of Ubuntu One now for a little more than a month. Recently, I've been hacking on the client a fair bit, porting our Nautilus extension to C, to avoid the dependency on python-nautilus, and for the extension to perform better, and not slow down desktop start up times by loading up Python. As part of this, the build system for ubuntuone-client was switched over to autotools for most stuff. We still generate a setup.py, and use it to perform a few tasks, but that should be going away soon as well. Keeping it around requires some funky magic in the build system, to pull all the necessary pieces into a release tarball correctly, and get Python pieces installed to the system. But now we have a way to build reproducible tarballs, and should be doing regular releases on Launchpad. You can find them here:
We encourage people to build packages for their favorite distros as well, and are glad to answer any questions about how things should be packaged. If you have any questions, feel free to come bug us in #ubuntuone on FreeNode (irc.freenode.net). Enjoy!

Had an absolutely weird case where FireFox and Chrome wait spin for over a minute, when all the data had already been received.
Narrowed it down to this only happening when accessing over https, and it also didn't happen when I turned off gzip compression. I compress most of my output automatically using Apache's deflate module.
In the end it appeared that my Eiffel FastCGI program send a Content-Length for the uncompressed content. And that was returned to the browser. The solution was not to put in a Content-Length, so the web server will put one in for the compressed size.
PS: the reason why this worked in http mode might be because I was accessing the app through a Squid 3 proxy, and that might actually be doing the right thing. Too lazy to test this now.

You'll be sorry, Pee-Wee Herman!
Swiss cheese on a sandwich roll.
My aunt died last Friday and I was thinking about her over the weekend. I remember being about 5-years old and going over to visit her family. My parents would play cards with my aunt and uncle until the wee hours of the morning and I would be sleeping in their guest room. My dad would come wake me up and I would get to make myself a Swiss cheese on a sandwich roll before we left on our long drive home. That's all I liked off of their coldcut platter. *sigh*
It sucks getting older.
Sorry to hear about your aunt JP.
As for myself I had a bacon cheeseburger and a Dr. Pepper.
Thanks. I'm eating a childhood memory, but your lunch sounds way more appealing. Enjoy!!
Left over; over-cooked burger patty from this week end. By the time it was heated up, it looked like it belonged on center ice in the NHL.....

I think I'm just doing a tin of soup today. I had my protein shake/BCAA/creatine after the gym and then a banana muffin when I got to work.
Down 15 lbs so far this spring so I decided to blow it all today and had a 12" southwest chicken and cheese from subway. 20 more to go so it's back to healthy tomorrow.
Due to waiting on plumbing issues (in my actual bathroom, but my intestines), I realized I ate nothing but 6 Peanut M&Ms.

Where I stayed
As we passed the Chicago Art Institute we noticed the lions on the front steps donning Blackhawks helmets. A friendly family allowed me to hold their makeshift Stanley Cup for my photo op in front of the victorious lions.
As we proceeded toward Lakeshore, we saw people setting up for the Blues Festival in Grant Park, had a hassle-free photo op at the Buckingham Fountain, walked along the beautiful lakeshore and gradually made our way to the Museum Campus.
We started with the Adler Planetarium, which was free admission that day (luckily, we beat the school groups!) Always check before you buy a City Pass - some of the attractions may be free during your visit. The Museum of Science & Industry was also free that day, however I didn't include it in our itinerary because Andy had visited it in on a previous trip.
Our second stop was the Shedd Aquarium. The John G. Shedd Aquarium opened in 1930 in a neoclassical building, which gives the aquarium a more "museum" feel that we greatly admired. The Oceanarium and its glass wall face Lake Michigan, whose water flows into its tank.
I had my first Chicago style hot dog for lunch. Delectable! But I couldn't eat the peppers (HOT!)
Our final stop on the campus was the Field Museum, my favorite of the three museums we visited that day. Opened to the public in 1921, the museum's current home is in a white marble neoclassical building designed by Daniel H. Burnham. This beautiful structure is also home to Sue, the world's largest, most complete, best preserved tyrannosaurus rex ever discovered.
Speaking of "world's largest"....On our way back to the hotel that evening, we walked through the world's largest free Blues Festival. The 27th Annual Chicago Blues Festival draws a crowd of nearly 650,000 people and is Chicago's largest music festival. I purchased the official poster to frame and have as a keepsake of our fabulous weekend in Chicago. Wow! What a great time!
Andy had made us a dinner reservation that evening at a very special restaurant - Gibsons Steakhouse. It is considered one of Chicago's finest steakhouses. Even though the restaurant was incredibly busy that evening, the staff was very friendly and helpful. The food was excellent and the servings were hearty. www.gibsonssteakhouse.com

"N/A" and "Not applicable" lablels
As part of the V&V team I have the following suggestion.
I think, for completeness sake, that one should be able to put a N/A (not available) message or label in fields where that information could not be retrieved. Also a "Not applicable" message or label should be available to put in some fields.
With these 2 things, when the V&V team or someone goes through a project, although some information might not be available we could fill those fields. In that way when someone looks at the project the impression he or she gets is that someone at least tried to look for that information but it was not available. Otherwise, the impression might be that the project is incomplete and the user might lose interest going through an incomplete project.

COLUMBUS – With a crowded picture atop of Division 2-5A, Tupelo coach Gary Enis needed his squad to focus on the task at hand.
The Golden Wave responded with a five-inning, 15-0 victory over Columbus on Tuesday.
Behind a four-hit shutout from senior righthander Chris Stratton and a 14-hit attack, Tupelo regained the top spot in the division thanks to Stark-ville's loss at South Panola earlier in the day.
"That was our main goal, just focusing on this game here," said Enis. "We were really focused tonight and I am real proud of the way our guys came out and played baseball."
Tupelo moved to 19-5 overall and 6-2 in the division. Columbus fell to 8-13 and 0-7.
The Golden Wave can clinch the region's top seed with a win on Thursday night at South Panola. A Golden Wave loss would create a three-way tie between Tupelo, South Panola and Starkville with the top seed determined by a tiebreaker.
"I just can't say enough about the way our guys responded," added Enis. "We knew this was a big game tonight before going to Batesville on Thursday."
Tupelo took advantage of erratic Columbus pitching to grab a quick, comfortable lead.
Columbus starting pitcher Nick Durrah walked the first five batters he faced and forced in two runs.
Tupelo designated hitter Kirk Roberts added a two-run single in the frame and Collin Dexter capped off the seven-run inning with a two-run double.
It was more than enough support for Stratton (5-1), who limited the Falcons to just four singles. In his five innings of work, he struck out 10 and did not issue a walk.
"I was trying to keep hitters off-balanced and work in and out with my fastball," said Stratton. "I just wanted to limit their chances and allow our offense to get it going. …
"It always helps to get that early lead."
Kyle Graham and John Gatlin each had two hits and three RBIs to pace Tupelo at the plate. Dexter drove in two runs.
Tupelo first baseman Lex Rutledge blasted his third home run of the season in the fifth inning and also scored four runs.
"Finally, for the first time in a while we got the bats going tonight," said Gatlin. "We played a lot of games last weekbut got a couple of days off. The rest did us good and we just came out and hit well. We face a good pitcher Thursday (David Renfroe) so we hope to keep the momentum going."
Tupelo has defeated South Panola twice this season and will send Rutledge to the mound on Thursday.

Just heard Amy Winehouse is dead. Another member of the 27 Club.
Sorry but she doesn't deserve to be listed with those other artists who died at 27.
The guy who named the Barbie doll, Elliott Handler, died yesterday, at 95. He apparently named the toy after his daughter, Julia. (had to get some "humor" into this oft-depressing thread somehow)
As for Ms. Winehouse, saddest part is that I wasn't surprised that it happened, only a question of when.
I predict that the upcoming Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi film will include the word "and." Multiple times.
Is anyone surprised the majority of the artists in the 27 club died between 1968-78?
As for Ms. Winehouse, no one can honestly say they are surprised by this, I think most people are surprised she made it this long.
May the force be with you.
The 27 Club was founded by Robert Johnson, an unfortunate side effect of his deal with the devil.
I'm sad about her passing 'cos she made some music that I enjoyed, but I can't help but think "stupid girl". I mean, addiction is a very scary, sad and real thing, but here's an idea: don't take drugs! If you don't ever take them your body, which might have the tendency to become addicted, will have nothing to get addicted to!!
If your an old, long time drug user, who got hooked before the 80's (ala Keith Richards). Then I have some compassion for your addiction. Let's face it, the old folks who grew up in the 60's and 70's lived in a time where the long (and sometimes short) term effects weren't as well known.
However, if you got hooked after the whole "Just Say No" campaign and endless after school specials, films, documentaries, television shows, etc. Then you knew the chances you were taking and I have no real compassion for you.
My sister once said "It's not like they woke up one morning and decided to become a drug addict".
Actually, I'm pretty sure that's exactly what happened. I mean you don't wake up addicted to drugs, you have to make a conscious decision to do the drugs, knowing that addiction is a side effect. It's pretty common knowledge that drugs destroy your life, cost you your career, family, friends, money and in many cases your life. Who wakes up one day and says, yes, I'll take some of that please...Amy Winehouse apparently.
May the force be with you.
Pitcher Hideki Irabu, dies at 42. I saw a story about a Dukes of Hazzard actor dying, with a B&W picture that looked like Luke Duke and thought it was Tom Wopat. Turns out it was their "cousin" Duke, Christopher Mayer, dead at 57.
I predict that the upcoming Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi film will include the word "and." Multiple times.
Bubba Smith.
I know him more for his NFL career but you kiddies probably know him more for his Police Academy roles.
¡Que la fuerza te acompañe!

Interestingly enough, the Swedish media is full of discussions about how slow the swedish government was to react to the tsunami catastrophe. And I heard a guy on radio saying that the Finnish papers were saying the same thing (complaining how much faster the swedish government acted).
I guess its typical scandinavian to blame the government for everything.

Blues midfielder Francis Saili has made a brief appearance in court to face one charge of driving while suspended.
Dressed in a blue suit, the 22-year-old sat in the public gallery at Manukau District Court with supporters waiting to be called to the dock by the registrar.
According the police charge sheet, Saili was stopped on Auckland's southwestern motorway on April 12.
He was not asked to enter a plea and his case was adjourned to next month so his lawyer could receive prosecution evidence from police. Saili was remanded at large to his Manurewa home.
Approached outside court he declined to comment.
News of the charge came yesterday as fellow Super 15 player, All Blacks and Hurricanes wing Julian Savea, appeared in court in Wellington charged with assaulting his partner.
Blues coach Sir John Kirwan told the media about Saili's charge after being asked about Savea's situation.
Sir John said Saili was accused of being caught driving after losing his licence because of speeding tickets. He has dropped him from the starting line-up to face the Reds this weekend.
"He's a young man who has done a silly thing. We're not playing him in our starting 15 for punishment of that and there are NZRU protocols that are taking place.''
Kirwan said Saili has apologised to the team.
"We just asked him to take more responsibility and make better decisions. He was disappointed, he apologised to the boys.''

- Description
The eastern side of the Sierra Nevada mountain range is quite different from the western. The western side is a gradual slope rising to the Sierra Nevada crest. The eastern side is a steep escarpment dropping down into the Great Basin. The western side is at a lower elevation with significant population and rainfall. The eastern side is a high arid desert with few people and towns.
U.S. Route 395 follows the eastern escarpment of the Sierra Nevada mountain range. For most of this run the highway is also routed through the Owens Valley. It is the life's blood of this region. There are few roads, but those that exist in the area are most likely going to or from 395.
Along the way are many of California's most scenic and beautiful spots.
This view of 395 is no exception. Where ever you're coming from, north or south on 395, or down from Yosemite's Tuolumne Meadows on Highway 120, I would suggest you stop off at the Whoa Nellie Deli ( just west of the junction at the Mobil station ) and drive on up to the vista point. From left to right you have, The 120/395 junction, the town of Lee Vining, the Inyo Visiter Center in the distance above the rock quarry, the left side of Mono Lake, Black Point across the Lake, in the center of the view you have Negit and Paoha islands in the middle of the lake with the Lee Vining airport buildings in the foreground, the right side of Mono Lake and the Tufa State Natural Reserve, Panum Crater, and the Mono-Inyo Craters as they progress to the right and south down the valley along with the 395 highway.

seachem betta banquet, betta food fed to tropical fish?
I know that bettas are tropical fish and technically food is interchangeable. The betta banquet seems to have no fillers and I wondered if it would work very well for other tropical fish (maybe soaked).
Ingredients are
Ingredients: Fish meal, blood meal, krill meal, fish oil, beta carotene, vitamin A acetate, d-activated animal-sterol (D3), vitamin B12, riboflavin, niacin, folic acid, calcium pantothenate, pyridoxine hydrochloride, thiamine, biotin, dl alphatocopherol (E), l-ascorbyl-2-polyphosphate (C), choline chloride, cobalt sulfate, copper sulfate, ferrous sulfate, manganese sulfate, ethylenediamine dihydroiodide, ethoxyquin (as an antioxidant). added mineral matter not more than 2.50%.
It will be fine.

does anyone have any opinions on the betta banquet food in general? It seems to have a very good ingredient list. By the way I am trying to feed a variety but this looked like a good one to possibly add to more than the betta. I Was getting some new life spectrum flakes to try (not available locally) and ran across this so I ordered some too (already paying for the flat rate shipping). I also feed frozen and freeze dried foods and tetra flakes in general.

Where did this month go?
Work: More of the same. Tweaked and twisted the builds and our code to get a sane Java2 release then spent the month fighting a morass of delays and complications to migrate software. Internal efforts to block our use of Weblogic in favor of the Big Blue product have resorted to making an apples to oranges price comparison of the former's enterprise cluster software to the latter's single server edition. They wrung a big (>30%) discount from the latter while taking the first discount (<10%) from the former. This could derail an entire year of testing and configuration. Worse it justifies declaring WebSphere Studio the standard IDE. I can't even guess what these people think they are gaining... maybe nothing but proving that they can. All of us will move to a new floor Friday and there are already signs that it will go badly.
Play: DSL installed. Excellent! Configured the router and my OpenBSD firewall. PF is good and I'm getting used to the changes from IPF. Reconfigured my wireless access point and renumbered the network and can now get hacking on NoCatAuth. Netbooted OpenBSD on a headless SS5/70 and set it up running Apache and redirected to it from the firewall. Amazingly, I was swept by two whisker scans in less than 14 hours from some unnamed addresses (probably in Europe, maybe in .nl). Worked on and off on nothing in particular. Tweaked Jproxy. Messed around with POE, again. Used the gift certificate my wife gave me to buy motorcycle gear, it should be here in a few days. I can't wait for spring and oh, how I want this as my next bike!

|Topic Review (Newest First)
I have been pretty relaxed with my build, time is no biggee. My Machinist is slammed right now. All his roundy round guys have there plants at his place getting freshened up, dynoed etc.
He has a 400 of mine there right now, I told him no rush. I have no place to store it soo...
My 389 (punched to 4.12 ) is at the shop, awaiting its final assembly.
I have a set of cabinets at the house to finish next week, and a couple engines to change before I can get back on it. But I will have it ready by spring for its home in the 64.
I had my heads milled, it only ran about 30 bucks extra to have the intake side shaved. It was well worth it.
I have 3 different intakes , not sure which one I am gonna run, yet.
|But it cost more to mill both side of the head. And pop up pistons which i agree is the way to go, cost a lot more.
Pontiac engines have made good power/torque w/the compression ratios obtainable w/flat top pistons and the 400 chamber heads, like the 6X-4. I never had my 455 on a dyno but going by my weight and quarter mile speed/ET I estimate it was right at 450 HP. 6X-4 heads w/FT pistons.
The OP lives overseas, he's stuck w/the 4X 455 heads. He can get to 450 or damn near it if he ports the heads and maximizes the CR w/the 455 4X heads and does his homework regarding quench and picks a good split pattern cam and runs 4-tube headers.
The OP's 4X 455 heads w/a 0.060" cut and FT pistons and a 0.041" quench will give him right at 9.1:1; 9.5:1 is the max I, or anyone who knows what they're talking about regarding Pontiac engines w/iron heads would recommend he use, anyway.
BTW, just because YOU cannot make 450 HP- even w/ round ports- doesn't mean it's impossible for the rest of the world, even w/iron D-ports. Because not only is it not impossible, it's common.
I'd ask what happened to the idea that you cut the block to gain compression instead of the heads, or what about the quench pad that didn't exist, or what happened to "455's don't use 4X heads"? Et cetera. But all I really need to say is: Just stick to the facts.
I don't know what you are talking about when you say closed chamber heads and 88cc, but the early pre-emissions Pontiac heads were around 72cc. If you're talking about the 400 size chamber smog heads, they're not "closed chamber" heads by any stretch of the imagination. 88cc heads on a FT 455 would put the CR too high anyway.
Even with the tiny almost non existant quench pad, it is still a larger gain milling the head than the deck, as the bore is a concentric hole.
Still negating your argument.
Even though you said "water" I am assuming you mean "coolant". If coolant is 300 degrees, they must be running something special and /or using about 40 psi cooling system pressure.
You should eleaborate more on your statements, if in fact what you say is true. Nothing backs the truth like good ol physics.
Decking the block is NOT preffered for raising CR as much as milling heads, or using pop up pistons. Substantial Milling of the deck on some engines Like the SBC can weaken them considerably
Also when milling heads , if you mill to raise CR, then you most likely will be milling .030 or more, Milling the intake side of the head is a better way to fly. That allows you to run ANY intake you want . Milling an intake is a backwards way to approach the issue.
Lower CR in the early 70s was due to emissions and the cat wizz gas they started making. Low octane wont support High CR. Gas mileage suffered as a result.
Ok so .050 gives you 11 cc without the quench pad add another cc max for the small quech and the two other very small quench areas. thats 12 cc out of a 112 cc head. Even if they were closed chambers it would take them to around 88 cc.
Now that is still well short of the goal if my math is correct please verify for me. Let me know if i am wrong on this one.
Pontiacs dont make good power with low compression. And stock heads including these have 153cc intake runners.
Smog Head Performance - Tech Articles - High Performance Pontiac Magazine
All I have to say is to the OP is:
"Warning: Be sure to verify all Pontiac info found in print, by word of mouth, or on the internet (including here). There's a LOT of erroneous and misleading info out there."
What the OEMs are doing w/"modern" engines has little to do w/a Pontiac V8 that was out of production >35 years ago.
As for cutting a deck being preferable to milling a head, I stand by my previous statement regarding milling blocks vs. heads, and will leave it at that.
Pontiac used the same engines/heads/pistons/CR regardless of application in the smog years w/only a few exceptions like the W72 and 301 turbo engines used in the F-body.
And of course the Pontiac 4X and 6X heads, etc. have a quench pad- regardless of chamber size, shown below:
[quote=LATECH;1630908][QUOTE=hcompton;1630899] Zero decking the block will give you more cr increase than cutting the heads.
And yes they will drove a truck this weekend with a hemi 2012 water was always over 290 and it was cold as piss outside. So yeah they will run over 300. This is how they are increasing mpg with modern engines. And this was a big truck v8 not a small four banger. You will see several more increases in operating temp over the next two years for the 2014 mpg increases the manufactures will be trying to reach.
In order to reach a decent cr he will probably need to do both. And decking the block is almost always preferrable to cutting the heads.
How is he right if you cut the block a good bit your intake still bolts up. Not true for heads. Then you need your intake milled as well. And .050 will do next to nothing on 455. Its not a 305. Even 350 heads need to be angle milled and all the bolt holes and flanges fixed. And that will usally only give you half a cr point.
Really depends on what engine he has. Trans am engine may be good. But passenger car engine will have very low compression if its late 70s.

That is absolutely backwards. Most heads have a quench area in the chamber, milling an open chamber head verses decking would result in the same amount of CR change, with a poncho head, because it has a quench pad (even small) you gain more raise in CR thousanth per thousanth milling the head than decking the block.
Also, engines today wont run at 300 degrees in the cooling system.Damage will occur. Absolutely.
I like your enthusiasm here but stick to the facts.
And Cobalt is RARELY incorrect, if you have a valid point ..OK. As of yet I dont see that. Chill out.
Like LaTech said, they made more than one chamber size of 4X heads. If you have 113 cc's i would toss them, or your idea of making 450hp. Could still maybe reach that mark, but not w/o alot of work that i don't think is worth it.
i did exactly like what you said on my 061 heads for my 400. i think there is a pic of them somewhere in my album. i couldn't possibly have removed more than 2 or 3 cc's in my uneducated opinion. you HAVE to cc them and then use c.r. formulas to come up with how much of a piston you will need. Since most of those came with greatly dished pistons, you could get to around 9 (8.8 was stated above) with a flat top with valve reliefs, then with that 268 cam it might still fly somewhere in the 400hp range or more. i took it straight out of jim hands book, the arp bolts on stock rods, etc. i did not port my heads tho. i dont have the confidence since i never did it before. the machine shop did put the largest valves on earth in it tho, and i dont really know if he pocket ported them or not. i did not ask as it is a long shot to whether i will ever see this motor run..
i think my heads were around 101cc's and with a 6cc piston i was going to get almost 9:1 on my 455. so with a 113 cc head, i think you will have to getta pop up piston. but i am just blowing this out my arse as it's been years now since i did the math. but that is what you have to do. as Cobalt said. there is a c.r. calculator at www.sdperformance.com tho. and they are the people to ask questions about anything pontiac.
FOUND THIS THERE. ALL PONTIAC DUDE READ: http://www.sdperformance.com/moreTech.php?newsID=41
My 455 ho had more than 9.5:1 from the factory it did not make 450 hp. Heads were also much better. A big cam big exhuast and good intake and carb got it to about 340 at the wheels and some tuning and tweaking got it a little higher but no dyno on that it was a small gain. I was told by several ppl this was actually pretty good for stock long block.
Cutting the deck is all well and good, but you do not depend on cutting the deck for raising the compression as much as the deck is cut to obtain a good quench figure. That the compression may be raised is secondary to that. Get a clue.
Surely you must realize that the quench distance should be about 0.040". That is done regardless of compression ratio. The chamber volume and dish/dome volume is where the compression ratio is 'made'- NOT the head gasket thickness or deck height, except as a secondary effect to getting the quench right. Get a clue.
A Pontiac 455 can make well over 450 HP on 9.5:1 CR. 450 HP can be done w/9:1. This is NOT a SBC!!! Cutting a Pontiac head 0.060" most certainly WILL do something, AFA compression ratio is concerned. Get a clue.
One more time: The lower compression ratios of the '70s were NOT related to mileage- it was done for emissions. If mileage was a concern, they'd have used different cam timing and a different piston design. And higher compression can potentially get better mileage than lower.
Get a clue!!!
