Stopped cataract formation
At a regular optical exam, I was told I had a cataract beginning in my left eye. I took 2 Bilberry/day for 2 years, and on my next exam there was no sign of cataracts! I quit the Bilbery, and 2 years later was told a cataract was starting again. Now I seem to need a bigger dose (6/day) but am hopeful the Bilberry will again win.

Useful product

Apparently bilberry offers a lot of the benefits of blueberries but has some unique differences. Effects noticed after a couple of weeks of consistent use (1 to 2 capsules per day): increased resistance to colds, better adaptation to low-light conditions, almost freakish night vision, increased urination (seems to act as a diuretic). I suspect that the benefits for vision may be less apparent for those deficient in vitamin A or with sight disorders. The product also seems to have some benefit for skin and broken capillaries, though this is rather subjective at this stage of use and maybe wishful thinking on my part.

I spend a lot of time at the computer. Without bilberry my eyes felt like two burnt holes in a board. With it I am comfortable. It is also supposed to be protective overall. Judging from 20 years of experience with the product, I believe that this is the case.

QE3: Helicopter Ben Bernanke Unleashes An All-Out Attack On The U.S. Dollar
You can't accuse Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke of not living up to his nickname. Back in 2002, Bernanke delivered a speech entitled "Deflation: Making Sure 'It' Doesnt Happen Here" in which he referenced a statement by economist Milton Friedman about fighting deflation by dropping money from a helicopter. Well, it might be time for a new nickname for Bernanke because what he did today was a lot more than drop money from a helicopter. Today the Federal Reserve announced that QE3 will begin on Friday, but it is going to be much different from QE1 and QE2. Both of those rounds of quantitative easing were of limited duration. This time, the quantitative easing is going to be open-ended. The Fed is going to buy 40 billion dollars worth of mortgage-backed securities per month until they have decided that the economy is in good enough shape to stop. For those that get confused by terms like "quantitative easing" and "mortgage-backed securities", what the Federal Reserve is essentially saying is this: "We're going to print a bunch of money and buy stuff for as long as we feel it is necessary." In addition, the Federal Reserve has promised to keep interest rates at ultra-low levels all the way through mid-2015. The course that the Federal Reserve has set us on is utter insanity. Ben Bernanke can rain money down on us all he wants, but it is not going to do much at all to help the real economy. However, it will definitely hasten the destruction of the U.S. dollar.

Discussion in 'November 2009' started by roscoe36, Nov 2, 2009.
The more I see of Jerebko ... Love the guy coming in, was talking about him, even though a lot of the press expected him to be buried in the depth chart, and I like what he does on the court. He has looked a lot less nervous out there and has improved the past couple games.
this is family forum. ...and in the Green Room there is "Dreams" thread. Please, post there. :banplease
No harm done. Appreciate the enthusiasm. Maybe it would have been ok undetected - I edited it out.
We lost, but I think it was one of those losses that eventually makes your team better in the long run. Our young guys (JJ,Daye) played very well and were instrumental in the teams success(the last 3 qtrs). I think Max is playing himself back into the rotation while Wilcox is clearly playing himself out of it. I think we may finally have figured out how and when to get Charlie going, which is good because his overall play is contingent on how well he's doing offensively. I still think he's a bench player. Our small lineups didn't hurt us, we actually forced them to go small. Stuck started 7/10 and finished 9/18, has yet to figure out how to put it together for the whole game. BTW, do you know what you call players like Charlie, Stuckey and Tayshaun Prince who can't give you 30+mins of really good basketball? BENCH PLAYERS!!!! Time to move some dead weight Joe and just get a Mutha Effin starter!
Even though we lost, lots of good stuff to hope on. Daye scored 11, mostly in the first few minutes he was on the floor. Not shy to shoot. His defense looks pretty solid. Too bad we are so stuck on the 3 guard thing - cause we could go big with Daye in the backcourt. Jerebko looks like a solid player. But nothing spectacular. So far, he is not making outside shots (and missed his free throws), and not rotating well enough out to the perimeter. Of course, who knows, maybe with some experience he will get better yet. Meanwhile he is all hustle. Villanueva scored 22 in the 4th, 28 total. Remember, he missed most of the preseason. He did hit one three, but the rest of that scoring was mostly created by him driving the ball toward the basket. Orlando had nobody to stop him. He helped get Howard fouled out of the game - but too late. Howard had zero fouls to start the 2nd half. They say Prince has no timetable to return, and Rip is out at least one more week yet. Remember, Prince was played heavy minutes in a back to back to start the season. And Rip was out there at the end of a blowout when he hurt his ankle. Coach has to learn. But so far, it does not look like he is learning much. Still playing guys too many minutes. Knock it off, nothing good will come from overplaying your players. Now, with the above said, we got 10 guys involved in this game tonight, with Wilcox being low of that group with 9 minutes played. Of course Tay and Rip will be coming back. A twelve man rotation? Its possible. Ain't seen any Piston coach try it. But we could end up seeing great rest patterns soon, with lots of players involved. Though with a rookie coach, no way I expect him to actually do much of anything right. But who knows. I hope he will actually continue to play guys like Jerebko and Daye when Rip and Tay return. Of course, who knows who else will end up injured with this rookie coach not watching the rest for players. This was the 3rd game in 4 nights. You play a back to back, its not the next day it hits your legs. Its the day after (or today in this case) that it hits you. Who knows, maybe that 40 point first quarter was just part of a scheduling loss. Gordon started out missing 9 of 10. He scored some in the 2nd half, but his bad shooting certainly did not help us early. Stuckey had a decent game, but he was part of that opening quarter where the coach could not get his players to get out to challenge shots on the perimeter. Orlando started out quick 5-5 on threes. We did win the next three quarters, but as Gordon was kind of saying after the game, the beginning of the game was the time to start challenging shots. Maxiell was the only guy well plus for the game. I know some don't want to hear it, but this guy plays solid, solid D. Not everyone has to score. Him and CV ended up being quite a pair to help us make a game out of it. We did get it to just 6 down for a moment there. CV was going nuts on offense, and JMAX was helping to make the buckets actually mean something at the other end. And CV does seem to try on D too when everyone around him is swarming. Our usual 3 guard lineup was in during the comeback attempt. Bynum did little in this on on offense. He did hit a triple. Kwame, as usual, added little O. Played some decent enough minutes of defense on Howard. While Wilcox is on the team, and did play, please do not think he was part of the problem tonight. Orlando jumped to a 15-2 lead before we made any substitutions. I still think its kind of odd that after him paired with JMAX showed lots of good chemistry in the preseason, we have not seen this yet in the regular season.
Ok, alright... steady progress from the youngsters. Not a big fan of Jerebko (how many points from anything besides dunks?)... but he's growin' on me... Feelin' pretty good about being wrong on Daye... I'm feelin' a Tay trade now So far so good One or two of the kids will be waiving towels within two weeks... who's it gonna be? Would luv to be wrong about that too.
Ok, now we can see what CV is all about. His defense and rebounding have been suspect but not many players can put on that kind of scoring spree. He is only 25. Before all is said and done, Joe may well have had a very good last summer. Daye is already showing more than any rookie big I have seen in a Piston uniform lately. I can well see a trade of either Rip or Tay or both.
How many straight possessions did CV score? I think it was 8 or 9 counting the times he went to the line. They were mostly tough shots from the post. That was awesome. Jerebko definitely looks like an athlete. Very quick and aggressive. I agree that this was a decent loss. We made a game out of it after Orlando made their first 5 threes to jump out to that big early lead.
Things I noticed in the game: Wilcox is absolutely garbage. Total garbage. I hope he rides the pine forever.The team doesn't seem to give up.Jerabko may not be great, but he hustles and his D was above average tonight.Rodney Stuckey's jumpshot looks better this year.Charlie V can flat out score when he heats up.With that said I honestly believe Tay should be traded now. I know Jerabko or Daye are not all stars or anything, but I believe Daye can give us what Tay does right now. In the past couple of years Tay hasn't been a great defender, he just gets by on his repuatation of a "lockdown" defender when really he's average. Daye actually seems more aggresive than Tay, which is sad. I'm sick of seeing the pumpfake bull Prince pulls. The combo of Daye and Jerabko can hold down the SF position for the time being. I have to believe that JoeD is seeing the play of these two rookies and actively shopping Tay for a big. We need a quality bigman really really bad right now. The question is if he can actually get one.
What's crazy about CV's little scoring run, was that if they had fed him the ball like that earlier, he could have probably started it in the 3rd. He never saw the ball in any sort of low or mid post fed position until the end of the game. Anyway, he drives me crazy with his absolute cluelessness on defense and how he watches the ball instead of putting his body on a man to rebound, but wow can he score when he gets going. Jerebko and Daye have no problem hard fouling either. I freakin love it. So sick of guys like Max and Tay arm fouling people. JJ and Daye aren't big but they lay some wood on the would be scorer. This team has a completely new chemistry and attitude. Rip and Tay out is a blessing in disguise.
So many honest comments here tonight about our team, I am gushing all over the place. I haven't ordered league pass yet, just waiting to see this team gel a little more. Daye and Jerebko should be our SG's from this point on case closed. Since I have reached the conclusion that we have to develop, develop and develop some more these young guys. It's like Roscoe said earlier, it's a blessing that Rip and Tay have not played over the last few games, now we can actually see how Day and JJ can round out our rotation and actually see what they can offer. I submit to you Pistons fans, I love our guards attacking the basket, however, the one on one play resulting in very low assists, in-turn our bigs are not getting the ball in their sweet spots hardly ever, is a cause for concern. On the other hand, our bigs haven't done that much to begin with, hence a trade should be in the making. Can you imagine the type of damage we could do if we had a decent center, WHO PLAYS IN THE POST, back to the basket type of guy along with CV and penetrating guards and a PG dedicated to finding this said guy? I am going to go out on a limb and say that I would love to see Daye starting in the SF spot with JJ playing backup SF and PF in some matchups. I also would like to hear from someone in the organization the reason for Summers not playing.
All I'm saying you're committing one very typical fan mistake: you're overhyping rookies after a game or two. wait til scouts notice them in their reports then we'll see if they can handle situation or not... P.S this trade Tay talk is little premature therefore, IMO.
Sorry...about that. Got a little carried away with my humor. Won't happen again.
Again, my bad. Got a tad carried away.
I understood your humor perfectly that's why I suggested "dreams " thread...
Can't believe how well we are doing with two starters out. Someone mentioned it is a blessing in disguise, I'll elaborate on that thought. This is giving Joe the opportunity to see how his team looks with his two biggest trade pieces. This is the EXACT situation that he needed. Sure, we are 1-2 against two playoff teams, but each game was winnable, and we won 6 of 8 quarters in our loses (close to that, at least). Jerebko may just be an energy player, but every team needs one. Maxiell used to be ours, and while he still has some value (in a trade), Jerebko brings more to the table. I think that Rip is the piece to keep. The competition between him and BG is great, and if CV finds his shot, we are really tough to defend....
I know you got it, just you were right. This is a family forum, a tad inappropriate. But um...I do love me some Jerebko
Frankly I think this just highlights how expendable Tay is. If Charlie V can learn how to defend.......
It looks like CV finally figured out the Piston offense which is shoot the ball as soon as you catch it. Rodney Stuckey played 36 minutes and took 17 shots. Ben Gordon played 41 minutes and took 16 shots. I think Gordon probably has to work harder to get shots within his own offense than he does to score against the D. The Pistons looked like they were trying to move the ball on offense more in the 2nd and 3rd instead of dribbling and the lack of scoring from their bigs was noticeable. I am still a fan of their offense that has a guard trying to drive and if he gets walled off backing up and trying again. They never get discouraged! Collectively Orlando's hoop IQ leaves them at mildly retarded. Jameer Nelson, wow!

|The majority of my posts on this blog address using various features of WebSphere CloudBurst to build private cloud computing environments. Today though, I want to switch gears and instead of talking private cloud, let's talk public cloud. Specifically, let's take a look at the capabilities and services delivered via the IBM Smart Business Development and Test on the IBM Cloud (hereafter referred to as the IBM Cloud).
|For some of you, the fact that IBM has a public cloud offering may be a little surprising. After all, if you listen to some uninformed critics you may hear that IBM only cares about private clouds for large enterprises. That is simply untrue. The IBM Cloud is an Infrastructure as a Service public cloud that delivers rapid access to services hosted on IBM infrastructure via a self-service web portal. The IBM Cloud offers multiple payment options, including usage-based billing and reserved capacity billing, and even features a cost estimator so you can confidently establish a monthly budget for your usage.
|Regardless of whether you use a private or a public cloud, security should always be a chief concern. As such, IBM takes security very seriously in the IBM Public Cloud. The infrastructure that constitutes the cloud is subject to internal IBM security policies that include regular security scans and tight administrative governance. Your data and virtual machines stay in the data center to which you provisioned them, and physical security policies match those of internal IBM data centers. Additionally, you can optionally make use of the virtual private network option to isolate access to the virtual machines that you provision on the IBM Cloud. Rest assured that security in the IBM Cloud was a guiding design principle and not an afterthought.
|With the basics out of the way, let's get on to the question I'm sure you have: What can I run on the IBM Cloud? To get you started, the IBM Cloud provides a nice list of public images in its catalog that are ready for you to provision. These images include WebSphere Application Server, WebSphere sMash, DB2, WebSphere Portal Server, IBM Cognos Business Intelligence, Tivoli Monitoring, Rational Build Forge, and many more. In addition to the public images provided by the IBM Cloud, you can build your own private images. Private images allow you to start with a base public image and then customize it by adjusting the configuration or installing new software. Once customized, you can store these private images on the IBM Cloud and provision them whenever needed. Whether you are using public or private images, you have a number of server configurations to choose from in order to host your environments.
|While very brief, I hope this overview provides you with some of the more important details regarding the IBM Cloud. There are few, if any, service providers out there with the enterprise expertise of IBM, and I think you see that reflected in the IBM Cloud. If you are looking at public cloud options for your enterprise application environments, you should definitely take a closer look at the IBM Cloud.

Luckily I stumbled upon an exporter who is the only distributor of this product in India..can you tell your experiences with this product as the rating on review site is 4.5..any updates on the issues of recalls still in US? Currently only adult pacific stream is available which would cost me 50usd for 7kg bag but the person said if I want he would order the puppy variant of pacific stream within two weeks but only the 30 lb bag which would cost me 100 bucks so just wanna be sure before I order it as it's way over my budget but I would be willing to buy it if it really is that good compared to pedigree & RC. Thanks a lot
Thanks all
Glad to hear all your experiences I appreciate it very much.. Will surely go through all the links suggested
|I've raised several dogs on Science Diet. My current puppy had pudding poo from the better grain free diets so I switched him to Science Diet and he is doing well.
Feed what he does well on. Out of those you listed I would do Eukanuba. If he loves the Pedigree and he's growing shiny coat good stool good energy then keep him on that. I have 2 golden retrievers their breeders fed ProPlan and Pedigree. The dogs were gorgeous. Add your own homemade food as a topper. Plain yogurt veggies meat.

I almost drove myself insane researching dog foods. Dog foods are a never ending debate. I am of the opinion to feed the best I can reasonably afford. How hard is the poo? Talk to the vet. Solid is one thing, hard could be another.

Hello fellow GSD owners, its been a pleasure being part of this forum with such great gsd parents with very useful information and advice. I have had Max for just about a month now as I got him from my previous vet's contact at about 6 weeks. I was previously unaware that he should have stayed two more weeks with his mother and litter but whats done is done. I have tried my best to be there for him when he initially got very sick after some green deworming medicine was given to him by my previous vet at 7 weeks. He had lost lot of weight then and had to be given IV since he wouldnt eat anything for 3 days and it was so sad to see him go through this trauma. Fortunately right after that I fount a reputable homeopathic vet and hospital and have switched him to there and he seems to love the employees very much there. Sorry to ramble on as this is my first post but I have a few questions if you guys could shed some light on. Last 3 weeks he is doing fine and growing fast since he was on RC Maxi starter but recently I wanted him to try Pedigree professional Large breed puppy as he seems to love it much more. I have a beautiful golden retriever at home with my parents that is of champion line pedigree whos always been fed pedigree his whole life and he has the most beautiful fur and coat i have honestly ever seen on any GR. Then recently I stumbled upon how everyone here is very much against pedigree foods so I wanted some advice. I think my max who should be around 10 weeks or so weights currently 7 kgs and seems about right but his face is tiny and I wonder if its becuase I have taken him off RC and switched to pedigree. the quantity now recommended is doubled and his stool is much larger and hard! wonder if thats good or bad?
Anyhow i will attach some pics so you guys can give me some good advice since this is my first time raising puppy on my own but I have always been around many many dogs my whole life. I have always loved the gsd that i have had at my grandpas place so its been really great raising my fist gsd puppy! Oh boy, can it be a real real challenge and stressful sometimes but I always try to stay optimistic since I was aware of what I was getting into but its like polar opposites of raising a GR as mine at home is so so chill. My max however hasnt learned to be still for a couple mins and is full of energy and high drive to play and get me to engage him. Its really fun and I'm loving every minute of it since he's still young my vet has recommended to not let him outside just yet until he gets his second set of shots and rabies shot after 3 weeks. So i have just been training him inside the house mostly obedience and teaching him to be independent. Please let me know what you guys think after seeing the pics and if there is anything I should be worried about. Can you also confirm if he looks like a proper gsd since my mom always teases me he is mongrel mix Thank you so much and wish you all a great day

Scottsdale, Ariz. • Phil Mickelson drew the loudest cheers from the biggest crowd in golf history Saturday at the Phoenix Open.
Mickelson nearly aced the par-3 16th, hitting a 9-iron to a foot to set up a birdie on the rowdy stadium hole packed with nearly 20,000 screaming fans.
"What's funny about that is 172 yards is a very tough 9-iron for me to get there, but I immediately take 5 yards off and in my head I had 167," Mickelson said. "The reason is you always have a little bit of adrenaline here, and the ball goes a little bit longer on 16.
"I played for a 167-yard shot and tried to hit just a comfortable or stock 9-iron, and the ball ended up flying that far and released to the hole. Having played this course and that hole over the years and knowing what your body does and how to adjust to it has helped me, and certainly it did today."
Estimated at 179,022, the third-round crowd broke the record of 173,210 set last year, also on a Saturday at fan-friendly TPC Scottsdale. The event has drawn 467,030 fans for the week and is in position to break the mark of 538,356 set in 2008.
Mickelson birdied the final four holes and five of the last six for a 7-under 64 and a six-stroke lead over Brandt Snedeker.
"I know how good Snedeker is and how hot he can get with a putter," Mickelson said. "He can make birdie from just about anywhere. He's going to make a run tomorrow. I, hopefully, will be able to keep pace."
The 42-year-old former Arizona State star has led after each round, opening with a 60 and shooting a 65 on Friday. He fell a stroke short of the tour record for the first 54 holes, and matched the tournament mark set by Mark Calcavecchia in 2001.
Making his 24th appearance in the event that he won in 1996 and 2005, Mickelson is trying to complete his third wire-to-wire victory and first since the 2006 BellSouth Classic .
"To me, the wire-to-wire isn't that important except for now I'm three rounds and the fourth one is kind of the more important one," Mickelson said.
He's in position to match the tournament record of three victories set by Arnold Palmer and matched by Gene Littler and Calcavecchia. Mickelson won the last of his 40 PGA Tour titles 51 weeks ago at Pebble Beach.

Riverfest serves as showcase for Jaffrey
Union Leader Correspondent | July 28. 2013 9:16PM
On Saturday, 100 contestants filled Main Street to play for the chance to win the $250 first-place prize money.
In the end it came down to brother and sister Sam Hill and Abigail DeRosier, both of Jaffrey.
For second place, Hill won a $100 Atlas Fireworks gift certificate. Third place went to Ruth Miner of New Orleans, who won an ice cream making machine.
Children 9 and under also competed for a $50 grand prize.
Riverfest was started by TEAM Jaffrey as part of the community group's efforts to support, improve and revitalize downtown Jaffrey.
But for a town that doesn't have an old home day, Riverfest has filled that void to become an annual summer gathering for residents.
"Our community is only as good as we make it. It's up to us," she said.

13 Essential Style Staples
"Bangs before Botox," says Adrian De Berardinis of De Berardinis Salon. Specifically, you want a piecey, side-swept bang, rather than a blunt bang, which can look retro or harsh on a mature woman, recommends Maggiore. He adds that bangs inadvertently draw attention to your eyes and disguise both crow's-feet and forehead wrinkles—clear signs of older age.
Though a center part can help slim a wider face, Maggiore says it can look "severe" and "plain" on a mature woman, and draw unwanted attention to asymmetry. A side part is more playful, and carves an unexpected hairline around the face,

Hey! Spring time, gardens, gardens, gardens. I am sure I am not the only one thinking of it. Gardens sells very well in stock photography business. But on the other hand, it is very hard to sell a picture of garden. I guess one reason is that there are too many good ones online already. How much I love gardens? My first pictures online were gardens. I have about 400 pictures of gardens in less than 3 years, but only about 20% of them made sales. That is a low percentage. Don't you love and hate them? The picture below sold in a few days in 2012, and never made any more sales! That is very discouraging.
Then the picture below made $35 in one sale, the highest profit among all my sales. It continued to make sales and reaches $50 in profit now. I guess you don't need perfect...
Have you asked yourself this question before? If not, I think you have not been serious in stock photography. Or, I would say, you have not played hard. A lot of professionals have written about how to improve picture qualities. I have not seen any topics about how to take a lot of pictures. I think quantity is as important as quality in stock photography. You need a lot a lot of pictures to make a lot of sales! Don't forget, average sale only makes about $1. When I had hundreds of photos online, I only could make a few sales a day the most. But now I have almost five thousand pictures online, In one lucky day, I had 90 sales.
I started uploading pictures to Dreamstime in 2012. Having almost 5 thousand pictures online in less than three years is not bad. I am not satisfied with it though. I always...
Vancouver may be not as famous as London, or Paris, or New York, yet it is a real great city. It has everything that a big city can offer, such as big museums, stylish architecture, marvelous city parks, etc. In fact, it is the nicest new city I've ever visited. What I mean new city is that it doesn't have hundreds year old architecture or historic sites. Most buildings are even newer than the ones in New York. Since it is not as well known, it is not over crowded like New York or London. It is a big city but it still maintains the relaxed atmosphere of small cities. That makes it a great place to live.
When visiting Vancouver, you should not miss these places.

Melling M55 oil pump
I had heard some years ago about horror stories with oil pump breakage on Melling M55 pumps for sbc after melling redesigned them making them thinner.
I was reading up on more of it a little while ago and found a article that said Melling recommended it be replaced with the Melling select oil pump. I looked into those and they want $75 for it which I think is rediculous, especially considering the original M55 before the design was changed you could abuse it every which way and never have a problem and it only cost $20 bucks.
It seems I had heard that melling went back and improved the durability of the M55 after getting so many complaints but I can't seem to find out for sure. If anyone knows if they improved it or not I'd appreciate it As we plan to use one on a sbc were building to go in a 89 Ford Ranger 4x4 and we don't want to run into any surprises. Thanks for any info.
Do yourself a favor and run the M155 pump, its what all of the later model sbc's and lt engines ran- same basic pump but with a 3/4" pickup. I'd also port the housing and the cap it mounts to.
Also, I recommend a HV pump and cant see any reason to not use one in a street application but I wouldn't use it in a high rpm race application (not sure what you're doing here).
As for the pump breakage I have heard they fixed that as well and the select pumps are running billet gears instead of PM ones. IF you have clean assembly and keep crud out of your engine PM gears should be just fine though.
Yes, they improved the pump. But, there are thousands of the bad pumps out there as old stock in the parts warehouses. Of course the price went higher.
Luckily I bought all the original design pumps my warehouse could get back when the problem started. My left turn guys insist on them.
NEVER run a hi-vol pump in a street engine. The pump will cause excessive dist gear/cam drive wear in many applications. I have been seeing a lot of this since the oils we are forced to use came about. Plus most of that hi-volume oil just blows by the pressure by pass and is wasted.
My left turn customers are known for using an engine up. Amazes me how much a rules built engine can put out, and they all use std volume pumps with a spring replaced. Or M55-A
There really is little to no truth about additional stress at high RPM, BUT it will put more load on the cam gear at low RPM, while also providing more oil pressure and flow throughout the engine (hence why I recommend it for the street and not racing).
One draw back it will have at high RPM is circulating a lot of oil through the bypass, causing cavitation and foaming. Porting the pumps passageways will help, as will using a good oil, as will increasing the bypass pressure (though that adds more stress to the cam gear again).
On the street where you'll see low rpms fairly often it can help a lot (if you run an OD, low gears, big tires, etc), BUT if you are almost always over about 2500 RPM or so (where the bypass opens up) then you won't see any advantage and actually create problems at high RPM.
SO for a street car that is usually at 2500 RPM or less its a good idea, if you're over that then it starts becoming unnecessary and if you're at HIGH RPM (5,000+) then it can become a problem.
Also, if you can always run the largest diameter pickup you can and port all the oil passageways you can to reduce dynamic pressure loss and cavitation- improving flow and quality of oil.
There are also pumps that are designed to deliver better pressure, volume, and quality of oil, but they're more expensive- these are the typical pumps that you'll get for $50 or less and are common to rebuild kits.
Sorry but I can't help it.
I just LOVE to hear no-nothing-from-hands-on-experience, never-built-a-real-engine, wanna-be's lecture REAL engine pros. Makes me laugh, but not in a good way.
Not for nuttin, but I've never had an M55 "fail" at the housing. That includes streeters, stockers, lower-level circle track engines and reasonable drag cars.
The "Select" pumps ARE stronger, it's true. Whether or not they're "worth it" can only be determined by the buyer.
The ONLY small blocks we use a HV pump in have 2.650" main journals (400). Even then, for circle track, we stick to the standard pump. Continuous high RPM operation WILL suck the pan "dry" and starve it for oil. Higher capacity pans help some.
be sure to install the "sleeved" drive shaft (Melling IS-55E).
Only thing I'll add is if you get a pump and wonder if it has the billet or Powdered Metal (PM) gears; put a mark on it with a felt-tip pen. If the mark fades away, its Powdered Metal. Nothing wrong with PM in the correct application, however if you put any trash through the pump, it can break the gears, where a billet gear will probably chip a tooth and pass it through.
I haven't seen a PM one in awhile but, it sure is nice of companies being forced to upsell you if you question their old stock having the PM gears or not. I understand that there are rising costs of manufacture; but I also know that investing in the powdered metal dies is NOT cheap at all and takes tens of thousands of pieces to amortize the cost in a reasonable timeframe
The only one that is improved is the M-55-A pump not the M-55
No one mentioned the shear on the oil, as it is forced through the bypass. Causes a lot of heat generation, and kills the additive package in the oils. It is the same effect that kills power steering pumps when people repeatedly hold the wheel on the lcoks.
Also FWIW, I had occasion to tear down a '97 Vortec engine w/a thrown rod. It wasn't pretty- the rod was in about 8 pieces (no exaggeration)- and it looked to have shattered (reminded me of a failed hypereutetic piston) instead of bending/breaking like a normal forged steel rod tends to do.
I still have the pieces if anyone's interested in seeing them all, here's one of the bigger ones:
I don't know the exact mode of failure, the crank's rod journal was badly worn, so it might have been driven in desperation long after it started knocking. That could have overheated it, although there's no discernible bluing of the metal. The rod bolts were still nutted and were holding onto pieces of the cap and rod (in two separate pieces) and hadn't broken although they may have stretched.
Until seeing this I believed the PM rods were at least as good if not better than the forged steel rods before them. The finish is much better on the PM rods, that much is known. But this does raise a little doubt, although one case does not mean that much either way.
Select austempering is the case hardening process used on cast iron hydraulic roller camshafts. Select austempering retains the malleable cast iron core.
I can't help it either, I get tired of biting my tongue
Amazing what three years of internet ejukashun will getcha!
What I see is just argument for arguments sake. On another thread it was said that the way to pick a Roots blower was to use flow charts and such, not the manufacturers recommendations, etc. Then goes on to provide a flow chart for a positive displacement blower IIRC as "proof".
But here, apparently it's perfectly acceptable to go on "what if's", "just in case", and "maybe's" when choosing an oil pump.
I would- again- suggest that the OP's problem be addressed. Sure- make corrections to info as needed- but make sure the OP's problem is dealt with, not just flapping jaw to start something.
I have known some so-called "engine pros" that could not find their butt with both hands. LOL
Thanks for the info. I think this one I'm putting together now is the 11th small block I've built and I've always used the standard volume M55.
When the bearing clearances are correct there's no need for anything else, not on a mild rodded street engine anyways. However this build is a mild performance build to go in my nephews 89 Ford Ranger 4x4. This truck will see some street plus will be hanging out at the local mud park.
The only time I would use a high volume pump would be as a band aid for excessive bearing clearances in a engine I was trying to keep alive for a little while longer. I don't care much for HV pumps as they require up to 20 horses to drive.
It's pretty basic 350. Ported 305 heads, .224 duration cam, headers, KB 12cc D dish pistons, Weiand Action plus intake, Quadrajet carb, windage tray, comp double roller timing set and comp push rods. TH400 tranny, 2800 stall, NP241 transfer case, 3.73 gears and sitting on 36 inch tall Gateway Buckshot Mudders. In a light Ford Ranger it should be lots of fun.

Fellas (and ladies - maybe)
I'm looking to buy a flash for my 400D, up until today it was looking like the canon speedlite 430ex was going to come out top for my budget, that was until I made the mistake of walking into Jessops "for a look", they have the Jessops 360AFD at half price (£99) which is a fair saving on the 430 ex. The sales assistant gave me the run down on the merits of the 360AFD, the major point being that the jessops model had a manual function which the 430ex does not have, which as far as my newbie self can make out, means that you can override the settings and adjust for variable amounts of fill in flash.
I've had a pretty exhaustive google session to try and find a review but as yet have come up with nowt.
Would be open to any advice regarding flash units for my 400D, even if they are not those 2 that I've mentioned. My budget lies somewhere in the region £100 - £150 (lower end is preferred)
I'm also thinking that at 99 quid the jessops model would be a good starter and that I could probably get a fair price on e-bay should I choose to upgrade in the future - unfortunately OC dishes of hoover command won't let me go as far as a 580 ex MkII !!!

I have just bought the same Jessops flash 360AFD for my Nikon. Had it a week but am very impressed so far. I am not an expert by any means but it does the job for me. I have only used it on auto mode and have done lots of test pics and so far so good. I would recommend it for the price.

Thanks catteral
I went for the Jessops model in the end and like you am quite impressed so far - "does the job" would be a fair comment. Gonna have a play on some manual modes later on (just to really confuse myself)
happy new year

a place for zinesters - writers and readers
Hello all,
It's been awhile since I've posted here but I thought I might give it a shot.
We're currently on our 9th issue of our zine and the theme is food. We are looking for your food related stories, comics, fiction, or art. We are also in need of something awesome to put on our cover, so if art is your thing this may be a great idea for you to contribute. We're not really interested in recipes, as we have enough of these already, but anything else is almost certain to be put in there.
I'm also looking for contributors that are willing to contribute to more than one issue. We definitely are in need of some fresh new ideas and would love it if you'd stick with us for a while and contribute what you can.
Thanks everybody!

Yes and if I were thinking straight I probably would have included it. :)
Kirsty, sounds good. I was actually interested in contributing to your zine as well, but couldn't message you until we're "friends". :)
Also, I forgot to tell everyone that the deadline is July 1st.
oooh awesome. Well we are friends now so message away! I probably should of put an email address in my call for submissions too.

Repeat Revolutions Wednesday
Can it be Wednesday already? Wow. Welp, amazingly enough, despite a round of CD Shelf Cleanup, there were others on the repeat tip during the week. This time, I couldn't get Ric Ocasek's version of The Cars outta my player, namely their awesome debut album. That one's abundanza and it just never grows old. The promos are a-pilin' up on me and I'm going to just have to drop out for a month and listen to 'em straight if I'm ever going to get through them! The new Candlemass came this week, and yes, it's very good without the Messiah in the ranks. The Cursed album (finally) came, over a month after I interviewed Blitz of Overkill and Dan Lorenzo, formerly of Hades and Non Fiction, who are in this offshoot band that played just one and only gig in New York on May 20th. Supagroup is the hip album of the month for me; they rearrange a ton of Bon Scott era AC/DC riffs plus other eighties hard rock lines to create new songs and it's fucking awesome. Droid just earned itself a "hell yeah" from me as one of the loudest and toughest metalcore acts I've heard in ages. If they all sounded like this...well, never mind on that. They already do, but Droid is just brutal. I have Duane Denison of Tomahawk (and formerly Jesus Lizard) tonight, and the third album is just incredible. I'm trying to get something really special lined up for the weekend, so if it all pans out, I'll report back...
1. The Cars - The Cars
2. Supagroup - Roll In Smokin'
3. Droid - S/T
4. Devo - Freedom of Choice
5. Tomahawk - Anonymous
6. Warlock - True as Steel
7. Accept - Metal Heart
8. Iced Earth - Overture of the Wicked
9. The Cursed - Roomful of Sinners
10. Candlemass - King of the Grey Islands
Let's have 'em, chums...

Well with spring just around the corner and the spring migration of Snow geese about to start. I thought it wouldn't be a bad idea of posting on where the snowline is in our State. From what I've been told Snow geese like to hang just below the snowline. That way it would give those who hunt them an idea on just how far up in the State they might be, on their way up north to their breeding grounds.
Up at the top of this page under announcements, I'll have it tagged as "Snowline report."

Our first application of Agile principles to the research process, which occurred during our study of thought leadership in the tech industry, was a very Agile-esque journey into the unknown. We learned a great deal that applies to future applications of Agile Research Development, so here's my retrospective.
You Can Be Agile Up To The Boundaries Of What You Control
Ultimately, you control only part of the value stream. This maxim holds true wherever you apply Agile, and software developers learn this principle right away. You can be the most disciplined developer imaginable, never checking in code that doesn't work, always building in tests, and still be at the mercy of your own QA team. And even if the larger team, including testers, works in blissful harmony, someone needs to deploy the code on a live system. (Which is why dev ops is receiving a lot of attention from within the Agile community these days. See Jez Humble's recent book for a good example.)
If a stream is an appropriate metaphor for value creation and delivery, then this stream always takes many twists and turns, frequently encountering dams and obstructions. The success of Agile, therefore, depends to a great extent on eliminating these kinks, navigating around them, or learning to accept them as part of the value stream's trajectory.

IMRC stuck open
My 2002 FSVT won't start. It throws a p1518 code and says the IMRC is stuck open. Could this be keeping the car from starting?
CEL came back on after about a week, so I decided to take the plunge and change out the IMRC actuator, since I had a spare one of those too.
Once I got it changed out, I could tell immediately that the arm on the old part was retracting very slowly compared to the new one, once vacuum was applied. So while it was in a sense still working, it wasn't working effectively. And I guess not knowing how that part was supposed to look while it was operational had me tricked into thinking all was OK with it.
So I think all should be OK now, and I don't expect to see the CEL again now for a good long while. At least not for this issue.
You're right...I had confused the tumble flaps with the IMRC. Silly me. So where I'm at now is that I have verified operation of both soleniods; and verified the arms on both the TF and IMRC actuators freely move when vacuum is applied. So I'm actually down to electrical checks on the IMRC as of today.
OK, so I've been out playing this morning. When I rev the car up by hand, I can see the the IMRC actuator is extending when the throttle is opened to (I guess) around 3000-3500rpm. So that would seem to be working properly.
The only change since goofing with the solenoids yesterday is that the Tumble Flap solenoid...when I disconnected the short vacuum line between it and the manifold yesterday, there was no change in engine tone, like there was when I did the same thing to the IMRC soleniod. Today engine tone changes when I disconnect either soleniod at the same place.
CEL hasn't come back again as of yet.
The tumble flaps have the appearance of throttle butterfly valves and the bearings supporting the throttle spindle may wear. Therefore, It may be the flaps themselves making the noise as they shift position on the "throttle spindle" and contact the sides of the intake ports.
Don't confuse the tumble flaps with the variable length intake mechanism fitted to the SVT.
Some detail here for you with pics if you follow all the embedded links:
Another IMRC "stuck" thread.
I know there are some IMRC stuck threads already, and I thought about popping an old one to the top. But it seems like (on other boards, at least) you get as much abuse for reviving an old thread as you can for starting a new one on a subject that's already been covered some. So I went with a new one instead.
My wife's Focus popped a CEL a few days ago with code P2004 thrown, so I knew it would be manifold related - either tumble flaps or (being as this is a D23 IM) the runner control system. Starting the car, I observed correct operation of the tumble flap control valve, and it seemed like there was good vacuum. So no worries there.
Turning my attention to the runner control system, I first pulled the short vacuum line from the intake side of it's solenoid. There was a loud clunk from down deep inside the manifold and I'm like, "Hmm...I guess that must have been runner moving." I checked the vacuum lines and they all seemed OK. So, since I had a spare pair of solenoids, and they are the easiest parts of the system to get to, I changed the one out for the runner control system and we'll see if it solved the problem. I also have a spare actuator, and will change that out if we run the car up and the CEL comes back. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get the car out into the neighborhood yesterday, and I don't think driving around our small block got the speed/revs up sufficiently for the runner to move.
I guess I'm confused about the physical form of the runner itself. It's clear there it's something inside the manifold that the actuator moves. But what? And is it likely to be sticking, or is it the collective experience here that it's far more likely to be either the solenoid or the actuator? If it does turn out to be the runner sticking, I'm guessing the IM has to come off? Can it then be cleaned (I'm guessing it would be carbon making it stick) or do I have to chuck the manifold away and get a new one?

By Josh James in Kuala Lumpur
After just one day of the tour, Arsenal's presence in Malaysia has captured the public's imagination.
The Gunners are front page news on one of the country's biggest national newspapers, The Star, and the hysteria reached fever pitch in the evening as 30,000 fans filed into the national stadium to watch training.
Each player was given a rapturous reception as they entered the field (especially Robin, Samir and Jack), while even the backroom staff were cheered to the rafters.
It was the second training session of the day following a quieter, but no less intense, work out behind closed doors at the impressive Shah Alam Stadium. That consisted of jogging, shuttles and then a pass-and-move drill before a small, fast-paced practice game.
An hour of strenuous exercise in temperatures of 30 degrees (boosted by a 70 per cent humidity factor) can be hard-going. Combine it with the lingering effects of jet lag (the session was at 4am UK time) and you get an idea of what the squad endured this morning.
It's all part and parcel of pre-season though. For the training game, Vito Mannone was in goal in a defence versus attack exercise in which the defence appeared to come out on top.
A modest Vito said afterwards that the forwards always take a couple of weeks to find their shooting boots at the beginning of pre-season. Perhaps they are storing up the goals for tomorrow night's match.
After training it was time for lunch and various media engagements. Theo, Alex, Wojciech and Jack were mobbed by thousands of fans at a Nike event in a local shopping mall, while Tomas, Carl and Andrey ascended the famous Petronas Towers for an Arsenal Player feature.
Meanwhile back at the team hotel I was in the audience for Arsène Wenger's Q&A session with 50 Malaysian businessmen.
The manager, once again, demonstrated his incredible public speaking prowess, discussing how football management relates to business management. He answered questions such as how to deal with egos, whether he re-evaluates his tactics during losing streaks and how he finds a balance between successful business and producing fine art, and even quoted famous philosophers along the way ("The only way to deal with death is to turn each day that proceeds it into art" was his answer to the latter question).
The audience was spellbound and gave him a standing ovation. If this tour is as much about promoting the Club's image to a new fanbase as it is about playing football, then Arsène's presence at such events is priceless. It's difficult to imagine any other manager in the world, let alone the Premier League, holding court in such fashion with 50 Asian entrepreneurs.
Public engagement successfully taken care of, it's now back to the day job for Arsène as he continues preparations for the game against Malaysia. News of that tomorrow.

Welcome to Golden Goals - a FREE video series on USA.Arsenal.com which showcases some of the finest goals in Arsenal's history.
Each of our weekly clips will feature footage of a classic goal plus expert analysis from former Gunner Stewart Robson and Arsenal.com editor Richard Clarke.
Our series continues with Michael Thomas' legendary goal at Anfield in 1989.
Read on for the story of his goal and click the PLAY button above to watch our FREE video clip.
Thomas v Liverpool (A) 05-26-1989
Throughout the history of modern sports, there have been some truly iconic moments. And some of those moments are remembered nearly as much for the play-by-play call that accompanied them as for the event itself.
Consider Bobby Thomson's Shot Heard 'Round the World:
"The Giants win the pennant! The Giants win the Pennant!"
Or the 1980 U.S. Olympic hockey team's Miracle on Ice:
"Do you believe in miracles? Yes!"
And for Arsenal fans, it would be Michael Thomas' goal at Anfield in 1989:
"Thomas, charging through the midfield... it's up for grabs now... Thomas, right at the end!"
It's been 22 years since commentator Brian Moore described the thrilling climax to the 1988/89 season and Arsenal fans know the words off by heart.
And no wonder. Football just does not get more dramatic than it did on that famous night at Anfield. And this Golden Goal is surely one of the most famous evenings in Arsenal's history.
The match between Liverpool and Arsenal was originally scheduled for April 23rd, but was delayed as a result of the tragic events at Hillsborough one week earlier. It was moved to May 26th – after Liverpool won the FA Cup.
As a result of the delay, the two teams found themselves even on points, with just goal difference separating the two clubs. Arsenal had to win by two clear goals to snatch the title from Liverpool - a feat few thought possible at the 1980s fortress which was Anfield.
Alan Smith's glancing header in the 52nd minute gave Arsenal hope, but as the game entered stoppage time, it was looking as though George Graham's valiant team would miss out on First Division glory.
Then it happened.
John Lukic threw the ball out to Lee Dixon, who sent a long pass to Smith. He controlled the ball, turned and found a charging Thomas. A fortunate bounce off Steve Nicol left Thomas clear on goal and, as the Liverpool defenders converged on him, the midfielder flicked the ball past Bruce Grobbelaar.
It was Arsenal's first league title since the 1971 Double-winning season. And it's the stuff legends are made of.

OK - So we always hear that dyno X reads higher than dyno Y, and that dyno A is more consistent than dyno B. We also know that dyno operator John vs. dyno operator Mike can influence more of a difference in the results than anything else.
These things are bantered about in every engine technical forum, but rarely with any supporting data.
Are there any 'case studies' of dyno data out there we can share with each other to build an approximation of what the differences are between inertia and load style dynos, dyna-pax vs. dyno dynamics vs. mustang vs. dynojet, etc.
It would be cool to collect this stuff in one place. [IMG]http://*****************.com/smile/emthup.gif[/IMG]

Christian and Muslim religious leaders called for the full implementation of the Waki report which investigated the post presidential election dealing with widespread violence mainly caused by the Kenyan government. The Waki report urged prosecution of those who instigated violence in order to close the circle on violence while the Kreigler report urged creation of a new election commission. Catholic bishops said: "we support implementation of those two reports but we have to carefully distinguish between the sins and crimes of an individual and those of a group(or groups) of people."
After the election there was ongoing chaos as the government refused to accept the will of the Kenyan people. The two groups have now proved conclusively that violence was organized by individuals on both sides,(although mainly on the part of the government) which endeavored to deal with a crisis by use of violence.

Hi guys, all this talking about trooping and I am finally at the phase where I can start to think about trooping. Is there any UK events coming up? Cheers.
Hi guys, all this talking about trooping and I am finally at the phase where I can start to think about trooping. Is there any UK events coming up? Cheers.
The 3 events I know of are coming up in Oct and Nov. There's the London MCM Expo and London Memorabillia, both on the same weekend at the same place and the Birmingham memorabilia in November.
If your wanting to go down the 501st route you'll need to go here: UK Garrison and submit your costume for clearance. Be warned if you are doing that and want to go to the London expo/mem you'll also be competing with me and several other fetts. They only allow one Fett on the floor at any one time so we have to spilt the day up so we all get turns.
Oh, head here for all info about Expo/Mem: London MCM Expo | London Comic Con
I was planning on going to the Expo anyway, my costume won't be 501st acceptable by then, and I know it. So I'll probably just be going anyway. As I'm not part of the 501st, pretty sure I'll get sent away. If someone says anything they can do one :P
I dunno about that. I've read about people going in unapproved stormtrooper armour and still ending up chatting and hanging out with the UKG. You should be fine. Be nice to see you there.
I'll be at both events as Boba on the Saturdays with the UKG.
Make sure you come over and say hello.
I think I'm only popping down on the Sunday due to work constraints with my mates. Ugh.
Great event over the weekend. Burnsy, I assume I had a chat with you in the ESB... - Really good to see so much Fett with the TDH stand too. Inspiring stuff!
Or it might have been me I was costuming an ESB Boba at MEM - I think Burnsy's is a SE, but I only caught a quick glimpse of him and the visor cuts down the amount of detail you can see - I'm sure Burnsy will clarify
ESB versions seem to be few and far between.

Good to see you guys there.
I was SE on the Saturday.
I had a chat with you Mr M. Your Fett looked great.
Was nice to see some of you guys at the event in birmingham it went off really well, and peoples stuff was amazing.
Hi, Im a new member so just wanted to introduce myself. I Found this group when i went to the Memrobilia Fair at the LG in Birmingham this weekend. Ive always wanted my own dented helmet.
@ Burnsy - cheers mate, as did yours - I would have loved to have seen more of it while out of costume and picked your brains on tweaking tips but it was just so busy
@ Boba Trooper - you're right mate, the standard of costuming seems to be getting better and better - kudos to all the top notch makers on these boards and out there in other genres. There is so much choice now, and so much skill, it's a little bewildering at times.
Welcome aboard jonnyhoob and yeah mrmandalore it is getting better and better, the next one will be even bigger than the last too.
Jonnyhoob, welcome buddy. Glad the event inspired you to look us up.
Mark F was also trooping Mem as an ESB Fett
Darman, so we chatted I think? I never can put a 'real' name with a username
Thanks Mate. Just trying to work my way round the forums and see how the site works atm.

- Braggs!!! (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/braggs/)
- - Jaeger and the cats (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/braggs/197449-jaeger-cats.html)
Jaeger and the cats
Jaeger is just six months old and, while he has never been aggressive towards our three cats, he of course has wanted to play with them since he got here. Our three cats have dealt with this in various ways, Buffy by whacking him hard on the nose and making him cry (she's crabby), Henri by always controlling the rules of the game (I'll play only when I am up on the chair and can punch you in the nose . . .no teeth or claws), and Spink . . .
Spink is the kitty I was worried about. He's my big burly manx with a big gentle heart. He's a very serious guy. He never defends himself. He cries piteously when he doesn't like what another animal is doing, but he won't put a claw on anyone. I was worried that Jaeger would be too rough with Spink and Spink wouldn't ever make it clear to the pup that he needed to be careful. So I've watched them carefully. Mostly Spink just avoided Jaeger early on because he was SO rambuncious. That made me sad because Spink needs attention too, and I'm with Jaeger so much of the time.
So tonight I was at the computer and noticed Jaeger wasn't right here beside me. He sometimes goes across the hallway to the bedroom and lies on his bed when he is tired, so I looked there. There was Jaeger, lying on his bed WITH SPINK LYING NEXT TO HIM. Smiling. (Spink has a lovely kitty smile when he chooses to use it,)
I underestimated them both. ;)
awww I have two cats a male and a female. Hero and Gizmo the male do not get along at all. Hero wants to play with him and Gizmo wants to box his nose in and growl at the dog lol eventually maye. However Sophia and Hero may actualyl be in love. She will not run from the dog, she will lay with im in the rare chance he is not running around like a maniac. She has even been seen entire head deep in his ears licking lol which is hilarious and I need to catch this on camera! He will put his mouth around her but not to hurt her or pick her up lol I really dont know what he is doing but she lets him lol They are crazy!!
Awwww! That is so sweet. I long for the day that Rocco is like that with our cats. He's just to rough and obsessed with them yet. He can't just sit still when they're around. How old is your dog?

To know just when the hands will stop - on what day, or what hour.
Now is the only time you have, so live it with a will -
Don't wait until tomorrow - the hands may then be still.

Hi all cat lovers have a nice day. chack out my meassge Board at
Thank you all for my Birthday wishes. I took off work, spent the day at home (after a regular Dr. app't in the morning), and was treated to a lovely dinner at a local favorite restaurant with wonderful seafood. My husband and I both find that level of celebration just fine these days - wild parties are a thing of the past. Pinot had a bit of extra attention and enjoyed the company while I was home.
Thanks again, y'all!
