Hi all, just a newbie passing through.
Im currently in my last year of a double degree in marketing and linguistics at Otago university New Zealand. I was wondering if my linguistics degree would be sufficient qualification or will i need to supplement my CV with one of the recognized industry courses?
My degree has covered syntax, phonology and 2nd language acquisition including a 12 week teaching practicum.
i am worried that employers may not recognize my degree as linguistics is quite a small department at otago.
thanks for any help you can supply.

Mods, if this post is in the wrong spot, I will gladly move it per your instructions.
I just don't have the time any more to devote to my Star Wars costuming efforts. I haven't touched any of them in years for a variety of reasons. That being said, I would like to concentrate my efforts on getting my Boba Fett helmet finished. I don't have the ability to do it justice myself. I have a Sgt. Fang that I have filled, and sanded smooth, and I have the proper material for the visor. And I have a set of ears. I would very much like to find someone to finish it up for me, and paint it. I'll post something in the Cargo Hold about this.
Also, over the years, I accumulated a good amount of pieces and parts to build my Fett. I will also be looking to pass those on to good homes. Highlights will include several yards of the tackle twill for the flak vest and some size 13 Mark Chang (sp?) boots.
All of you here that have built your Fett's, and all of those of you in the process, keep on keeping on. The people on this board do extraordinary work. I only wish I was able to do The Dented Helmet justice myself.

I bought one of the cheapy foam dart Clone Wars DC rifle from Target. I found the colours and "targeting light" an slap in the face of that awesome gun. If someone doesn't know what I'm talking about, here's a picture.
I decided to paint and trim this. I might post WIP pictures. I've already painted the gun gloss black and cut off that little attachment at the top, the targeting light. It annoyed me to no end. I'm letting it hang to dry overnight. Here's my first WIP.
Updates coming shortly.

Prime Minister Ehud Olmert entered office with a reputation of being conservative and an opponent of making large concessions to Palestinians. His experiences with attempting to forge peace for his society has increasingly made him aware of how Israel is unable to confront the reality of the world in which it lives. Religious and right wing conservatives believe Israel can go on indefinitely ignoring the need for compromise, and refusing to recognize there must be a return to the 1967 borders. Olmert has also become painfully aware that Arab citizens in the state of Israel are not treated equally with Jews. "For sixty years there has been discrimination against Arabs. This discrimination is deep-seated and intolerable" he recently proclaimed. He made the remarks at a meeting which is attempting to provide equal access to public service to Arab citizens.
Naturally, right wing fanatics who insist all problems are caused by Arabs, attacked Olmert for selling out his nation. World Likud leader Danny Danon denounced the prime minister for failing to ignore, "efforts of the Israeli Arab leadership which is doing everything in its power to undermine state security." These are the same type of remarks made by Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld about anyone who dared challenge their decisions.

I have a lot of photos in My Pictures folder. The thing is, I can't see the little pictures of the photos for preview, I can only see icons. Can I change this so that I can see my little pictures again? I have Windows Vista.
Hi, Hailey!
Yep, you can change the icons to the little picture preview (thumbnails) and back again if you want to. Here's how:
My Pictures is usually stored in your Documents folder. To get to your Documents folder in a really easy way (if it's not already on your desktop) is to first go to your Start button and left-click. When your Start menu pops up, at the very top of the right side you will see an icon preview (how ironic is that?) and below it, your user name. Below that is Documents. Left-click on it.
After you left-click on your Documents, go up to the top left of your folder to Organize (it's under the Menu bar – File, Edit, etc.). Left-click on the little upside-down triangle to the right of that. A list of options will drop down; go down the list until you find Folder and Search Options (it's right under Layout). Left-click on that.
If you're using XP, instead of Organize, you want the Tools menu. In there, you'll find Folder Options.
After you click on Folder and Search Options, a (dialog) box will pop up with three tabs: General, View, and Search. Left-click on View.
Under View (in the middle), the first thing you'll see is Folder Views. Under that, there is a white box with a bunch of settings (labeled Advanced Settings) that you can change so that you can customize your computer. The very first setting in this box is the one we need, which is Always show icons, never thumbnails. Uncheck this box.
Left-click on Apply, and then left-click on OK.
Now you can see your pictures!
I would like to note here that when you enable the option for thumbnails and not icons, you may notice a difference in your computer performance. When you change this option, thumbnails will be displayed instead of icons on your whole computer, not just My Pictures. When Windows pulls up a thumbnail, it draws on more resources than it does when it pulls up an icon. In other words, Windows has to work a little harder with thumbnails. It's just like you said, it's a little picture, and pictures are larger files (even little ones). Thus, a thumbnail (a little picture) is larger than a plain ole itty-bitty icon, so it takes more for Windows to open it than it does to open an icon. If you find that your computer is running a little slower than you would like, follow the tutorial above, and this time put a check in the box where it says Always show icons, never thumbnails. If your computer speeds up a little, you have found your culprit.
Then again, it may not make a bit of difference (it doesn't on mine). And you may not care if it's a little slower, because not only is your computer prettier, you can see your little pictures again!
If this does slow your computer down, you can also change the view temporarily by clicking on the View menu and selecting different views. However, if you're using Vista or Windows 7, you may not see a View menu. If not, take a look at How to Setup Classic Menus in Vista and Windows 7.
Thanks for writing, Hailey!

We went into the Manchester United game as we always do - looking to win it, and I feel, despite what has been said about it since, it was a top level game.
Having watched it closely again on the video now, I think we could have won it. We could have lost it too of course in the last ten minutes, when we were in a bit of trouble, but before that I thought we had plenty of room to win it. We have been unfortunate in the big games, because we had the goal ruled out against Chelsea, and against Manchester United we had a penalty against Fabregas turned down.
Overall though I want to take the positives out of the performance, because I don't feel the game deserved the negative publicity it received. This team is improving, the youngsters are developing and we want to keep on doing the good work we do with them.
It was a problem to get behind the Manchester United defence, but you have to give them credit for that. You don't get 15 chances in a game against Man United. We had a few good chances, but we couldn't take them. I feel that might also be down in part to the fact that it was our fourth game in eight days, and some players played in every game.
We have got four clean sheets in a row now, and we want to combine being stable defensively with being fluent and creating chances. I do feel that the fluency of our game is getting better and of course we want to get back to scoring goals because that has always been our strong point.
We take on Cardiff today in the FA Cup, and no matter what people say, we always take this Cup seriously. Our record speaks for itself.
We don't neglect any competition. We are fifth in the table at the moment, but the Premiership always remains a very big target for us, and to finish as high as possible will be very, very important. And in three days' time we play Wigan in the Carling Cup and that has become very important as well.
So I feel that we are in a part of the season where every game becomes like a cup final.
When you lose games in September, you think 'ok we will catch up'. Now at this stage of the season, you know you do not have many more chances.
I know it will be a very tough game against Cardiff, and although I will rest Thierry Henry because he has played five games on the trot, I will keep a strong core of experience in the side. I will say that about 90 per cent of the team will be made up from first team regulars.
Cardiff have got some good players, some with Premiership experience such as Darren Purse, and they have got Rhys Weston who was a good young player here, and Cameron Jerome up front is a handful too. They will certainly be highly motivated and the Third Round is always the most difficult for us because we don't feel installed in the competition. We need a special alertness and experience, and to be fair in previous years we have always managed to do that.
We know Cardiff will give everything today, but we are at home and we have to be right on our game to go through.
The African Cup of Nations starts soon, but we would like to keep both Kolo Toure and Emmanuel Eboue at the Club for one more week. So I hope we can keep them for the Middlesbrough game, but I do not know for sure yet. As for Ashley Cole returning from injury, I think we are looking at February 1 for him to be available and competitive.
Finally the transfer window is now open of course, but I must say I have not opened the window yet. I am just the other side of it, looking through, and trying to open to it, but we are not there yet. All I can tell you at the moment is that we will try to have some transfer activity this month.
Thanks for your tremendous support again so far this season. We will need you in full voice again today, enjoy the game.

Tippman 98 E-Bolt with LPK issue
Posted 14 January 2013 - 02:51 AM
After replacing the shell, rebuilding the valve, installing a male Palmers and installing a cyclone feed system I started running in to an issue with bolt chops. I have tried removing the cyclone, 2 different bolt/power tube combos and even putting all the parts back in the old shell but the gun keeps chopping paint at the bolt at any rate of fire.
The breaks are definitely at bolt and not in the cyclone itself as it would break paint even on the second or third shot using the cyclone or a halo (side feed) hopper. I am assuming that I need to adjust the dwell or possibly the psi on the reg but nothing I do seems to help.
Gun is currently running around 290 psi on the Palmers and when it shoots (without breaks) it's great. My only thought is when I rebuilt the dirty valve I threw off the pressure and possibly the bolt is not returning all the way before it tries to shoot again.
I know there are some experts still around and was hoping that someone might be able to give me some advice on dwell setting with the LPK installed. Or if it's even a dwell issue at all.
Just to clarify it is a stock Tippmann Ebolt, Tippmann LPK and the chops do not seem to be related to ROF as it will break at the bolt even while shooting slowly. Also I am using a pure energy HPA steel tank.
Any advice is much appreciated as I have a practically brand new looking 98 custom that turns into a paint sprayer anytime I use it now! I spent way too much money on this gun and if I can't figure it out I'm just going to have to throw the bolt on eBay and I would hate to give up on it.
Thanks in advance for any help.

i haven't messed with one recently but it seems that if your pressure is still too high then it simply cycles too fast... those still use the factory rubber finger detent correct? is it installed properly?
i had an issue with one of my 98s where it would only patially feed a ball and chop because i had the detent in backwards

is the pressure possibly too high? Ebolts are pretty rare now let alone in 20 years lol..

Definitly worried my pressure is too high, from what I have read people are able to get them down to 200psi without a cyclone. I kind of figured 290 with a cyclone sounded about right. I just wish I had a back yard or a chrono at home. Such a giant pain having to drag the gun to a field and spend all day messing with it instead of playing!
Posted 14 January 2013 - 10:13 AM
Are you using the low pressure bolt? Can you try a softer rear spring?
No spring with the ebolt (at least not one I can change) and I have tried 3 seperate bolts/tubes, including stock, Rufus Dog and the metal RAP4. All of these bolt/power tube combos should have no issues with the ebolt or LP that I am aware of.
Posted 14 January 2013 - 10:13 AM
the ebolt has a low pressure and the cyclone should work fine at that pressure i think... another option would be to get the center feed
Edited by fatalreaction, 14 January 2013 - 10:14 AM.
Posted 14 January 2013 - 11:16 AM
i hear ya... id say start with a tear down to check the internals and turning the pressure down..
the ebolt has a low pressure and the cyclone should work fine at that pressure i think... another option would be to get the center feed
Yeah I attempted another rebuild after my last day out using loctite instead of pipe tape on the valve which is now leaking (from the loctite) so I am planning on tearing it down again completely and resealing the valve with pipe tape.
If I was confident it was a feed issue (I have heard Ebolts at high bps require force feed) I would quickly go to a center feed, but since the breaks happen at any ROF and after spending enough cash on this marker to buy a new E-Phenon or almost a crossover I dont want to drop anymore cash unless I am certain it will fix the issue. Plue I really dig the cyclone feed and do not have a force feed hopper available.
I will say after all the time I have spent on this marker I can strip and rebuild a 98C faster than most!! I do miss the push pin set up on my A5 though which is unfortunatly stuck in storage 1.2K miles away! Not to mention the fact that this gun when it worked blew my A5 away for accuracy and overall performance.

Today's Hours: 10AM – 5PM
American, 1912–1956
"It doesn't make much difference how the paint is put on as long as something has been said. Technique is just a means of arriving at a statement."
Jackson Pollock was first introduced to modern art at age sixteen, and worked on the WPA Federal Art Project during the Great Depression. In 1943, he had his first solo show, which featured work that showed his interest in Native American sand painting, African sculpture, prehistoric art, and European modernism. By 1947 he had begun the process of dripping and pouring for which he is best known. Pollock's classic large-scale, completely abstract drip paintings were made between 1948 and 1951; over the next two years, the figure resurfaced in paintings that he made solely with black enamel on un-sized canvas.Let Pollock inspire your students to: - Paint without a paintbrush, using spray bottles, sponges, sticks, etc., and then consider how their artwork expresses their movements. - Research Native American sand painting and then collaborate to make a temporary outdoor sand painting. - Paint with non-toxic industrial supplies, including car paint, house paint, paint rollers, etc. - Use marbles to create a painting that shows movement. - Mix paint into bottles of glue to create drip paintings.Books for students:Action Jackson, Jan GreenbergGetting to Know the World's Greatest Artists: Jackson Pollock, Mike VeneziaArtists in Their Time: Jackson Pollock, Clare OliverWeb resources: Abstract Expressionism: Jackson Pollock, The Museum of Modern ArtJacksonPollock.org, Milton ManetasInside Scoop: Jackson Pollock, National Gallery of ArtFind out more from The Museum of Modern Art:Number 1A, gallery label textFrom the Curator: Jackson Pollock, videoPortrait in Seven Shades: Pollock, jazz music

Just over an hour from San Jose International Airport, discover a new world destination for eco-conscious travelers. Villa Blanca Cloud Forest Hotel and Nature Reserve is a 75-acre boutique mountain hotel surrounded by the spectacular Los Angeles Private Biological Reserve.
Originally owned by former Costa Rican president Rodrigo Carazo Odio and First Lady, Estrella Zeledon de Carazo, Villa Blanca has become a cherished Costa Rica destination. The Carazo's vision was to capture the simplicity, charm and deep respect for the land that is the spirit of the people of the San Ramon area. As the former president had authorized new national parks, created the University for Peace and initiated the rural medical care program, his hotel, situated where it was, would have to become something more than just a hotel. It needed to be an inspiration.
Years later, this hotel would bring the president and his wife together with another visionary, making possible the extraordinary place that Villa Blanca has become today. A sustainable, green hotel, in the middle of the cloud forest of San Ramón, Costa Rica. That visionary was Jim Damalas.
Over time, the relationship between Jim, the President, and Estrella Carazo, revealed a shared goal of helping Costa Rica lead the world in developing sustainable eco tourism. The Carazo's knew Jim as an experienced hotelier in Costa Rica, with a successful property in Manuel Antonio, already recognized internationally as a leader in sustainable lodging practices; so when they wanted to "retire" from the hotel business, they did not put it up for sale. They decided to pass the torch directly to Jim. In December 2003, Greentique Hotels (formerly Green Hotels of Costa Rica) acquired Villa Blanca. Work began in April 2004 to transform Villa Blanca into the kind of hotel that the two men had dreamed about. Seven months later, Jim and his design team — architect Rita Chavez Casanova and building coordinator Johnny Alvarado, had converted Villa Blanca into an upscale, nature-oriented boutique hotel and spa. A full- blown renovation and remodel, the project required a local crew of up to 157 men and women over its initial seven-month phase.

History of Daylight Saving
- Development of New Zealand Standard Time
- Origins of Daylight Saving in New Zealand
- Daylight Saving Since 1974
- Daylight Saving Review
Development of New Zealand Standard Time
New Zealand was one of the first countries in the world to officially adopt a nationally observed standard time. New Zealand Mean Time, adopted on 2 November 1868, was set at 11 hours 30 minutes ahead of Greenwich Mean Time. Greenwich Mean Time was established by British Railways in the 1840s but was not made Great Britain's standard time until 1880.
In 1941, due to emergency regulations in the Second World War, clocks were advanced half an hour in New Zealand. This advance was made permanent by the Standard Time Act 1945. The Act provided that New Zealand Standard Time was set 12 hours in advance of Greenwich Mean Time or Universal Time.
In the late 1940s the development of the first atomic clock was announced and several laboratories began atomic time scales. A new time scale based on the readings of atomic clocks, known as Co-ordinated Universal Time, was adopted internationally in 1972.
"New Zealand Standard Time" is currently defined in the Time Act 1974 as meaning 12 hours in advance of Co-ordinated Universal Time. The time for the Chatham Islands was set 45 minutes in advance of New Zealand Standard Time.
Origins of Daylight Saving in New Zealand
Entomologist and astronomer George Hudson was the earliest known advocate of daylight saving in New Zealand. Hudson presented a paper to the Wellington Philosophical Society in 1895 advocating for seasonal time adjustment. However society members ridiculed his idea. It was not until 1909 that the issue was next raised, by Parliamentarian Hon Sir Thomas Sidey who argued for putting clocks forward by one hour during summer so that there would be an additional hour of daylight in the evenings.
In that year he introduced a Member's Bill to put this idea into effect. The Bill was rejected, but Sidey was persistent, reintroducing it every year for the next 20 years. It almost became law in 1915 and again in 1926 when it was passed by the House of Representatives, but was rejected by the Legislative Council (which was New Zealand's upper house of Parliament until 1951). During the second reading of his Summer Time Bill in 1926, Sidey argued that:
the extra hour of daylight after working-hours during the summer months is of especial value to indoor workers and the community as a whole as it gives one additional hour for recreation of all kinds, whether playing games or working in garden plots…one cannot overlook the economic advantages that will also accrue. There will be a saving in the consumption of artificial light.
Much of the debate in the House of Representatives centered on the impact on people in rural areas and women in particular. Opponents of the Bill commented that:
[Summer Time] will bring no happiness to the women of New Zealand who live in the backblocks. [the Bill] does not make the case for now requiring the wife of the working-man to get up an hour earlier in order to get her husband away to his work.
In 1927 Sidey was successful. The passing of the Summer Time Act that year authorised the advancement of clocks by one hour between 6 November 1927 and 4 March 1928. The Act was only operative for one year, and when the Summer Time Act 1928 was passed extending the period of summer time from 14 October 1928 to 17 March 1929, the period of advancement was changed to just half an hour. This made New Zealand Summer Time 12 hours in advance of Greenwich Mean Time.
The Summer Time Act 1929 enacted the provision of a 30-minute time advance from the second Sunday in October to the third Sunday in March the following year. In 1933 the period was extended from the first Sunday in September to the last Sunday in April of the following year. This continued until 1941, when the period of Summer Time was extended by emergency regulations to cover the whole year. This change was made permanent in 1946 by the Standard Time Act.

Daylight Saving Since 1974
The Time Act 1974 provided that the Governor-General could declare, by Order in Council, a period of Daylight Time (daylight saving). Daylight Time is fixed as a one-hour advance on New Zealand Standard Time, and in the case of the Chatham Islands, is fixed at one hour forty-five minutes ahead of New Zealand Standard Time.
The public response to a trial period of daylight saving in 1974/75 was generally favourable and the New Zealand Time Order 1975 fixed the period of daylight saving from the last Sunday in October each year to the first Sunday in March of the year following.
In 1985, the Department of Internal Affairs undertook a comprehensive survey of public attitudes towards daylight saving and its effects on work, recreation and society. The results of the survey demonstrated that 76% of the population wanted daylight saving either continued or extended.
In 1988, as a consequence of the survey and further feedback from the public, the Minister of Internal Affairs arranged for a trial period of extended daylight saving to be held from the second Sunday in October to the third Sunday in March. The Minister invited the public to write to him with their views on the five-week extension.
Again the public response was generally favourable and a new Daylight Time Order was made in 1990. It declared that Daylight Time would run for 24 weeks from the first Sunday in October each year until the third Sunday in March of the following year.
Daylight Saving Review
The end of daylight saving in 2006 generated public debate, which led to a review of the period. A petition to extend daylight saving was presented to Parliament with an estimated 42,000 signatures.
The Minister of Internal Affairs Hon Rick Barker announced on 30 April 2007 that the period of daylight saving would be extended to run from the last Sunday in September until the first Sunday in April.

President Musharraf made clear his determination to cooperate with any political party that gains victory in January elections for a new parliament. "I will try to work with anyone who comes to power after the elections," he told his nation. The two main opponents of Musharraf, Awaz Sharif and Benazir Bhutto have called off their planned boycott of the elections and will campaign vigorously in order to ensure that Musharrf does not gain control over the legislature. They feared a boycott would automatically ensure Musharraf's political allies would completely control the government. In a surprising note, a poll by the International Public Opinion poll revealed that President Musharraf had made a dramatic rise in his popularity over the past month. Unfortunately, for President Musharraf, it turns out there is no such organization as the International Public Opinion poll, it was a fraud and was quickly discovered. His ratings most probably remain very low in the estimation of the Pakistan population.
A paranoid individual might connect President Musharraf to the phony poll, but at this point no one knows who are these people. Initially, they claimed their organization was based in Boston, then announced they were in Houston. The only certainty is there never was a poll.

Dear Auntie Lucy,
Myself and some colleagues would like to develop our teaching skills. We are relatively new to this career and the opportunities for development in our school are limited. We're in a small town and so cannot sign up for courses. Do you have any ideas?
Thanks for any help

O'Reilly: NY Times responsible for focus on Social Security at Bush press conference
Research ››› ››› RAPHAEL SCHWEBER-KOREN
Fox News host Bill O'Reilly asserted that The New York Times was responsible for the focus on Social Security at President Bush's April 28 prime-time press conference, claiming that the Times "sets the agenda."
From O'Reilly's discussion of the media's coverage of immigration issues with Steven Camarota, director of research at the conservative Center for Immigration Studies, on the May 3 broadcast of Westwood One's The Radio Factor with Bill O'Reilly:
O'REILLY: They could care less, and you could see it at the press conference with President Bush when not one question was asked about the border by the Washington pinhead press corps.
CAMAROTA: Bill, that's exactly right. And the kind of elite echo chamber that they all live in.
O'REILLY: Yeah, Social Security was their big issue because they think that The New York Times sets the agenda. And I think Americans are concerned about it, but I don't think it's nearly what the security issue is.
O'Reilly offered no evidence for his assertion, but Fox News itself reported that Bush himself set that agenda. Prior to the April 28 press conference, Fox News reported that Bush "will address the public in prime time ... to push his Social Security and energy proposals, two high-profile issues that Bush has made centerpieces of his second term." The president spent the vast majority of his opening statement discussing his Social Security proposals, and the White House's "fact sheet" for the day's events focused solely on Social Security.
Moreover, when Bush called on Times White House correspondent David E. Sanger during the press conference, Sanger chose to ask about whether the large number of U.S. troops in Iraq limited Bush's "options elsewhere in the world."
Finally, it isn't the New York Times that has held at least 60 campaign events around the country in an attempt to gain support for Social Security privatization; it's President Bush.

'Woeful' Outlaws grounded by Eagles
May 30: totesport League Division One
Notts Outlaws 154 (Hussey 43)
Essex Eagles 158-4
Eagles won by four wickets
Newell was dismayed by another poor batting performance against Essex, as the visitors condemned us to our fifth straight defeat in Division One.
And he believes the team may require more changes to get off the mark against Glamorgan in Swansea in their fight against relegation.
He said: "There are no excuses from a batting point of view. It was woeful.
"We are not giving our bowlers any chance to win us matches. They are working very hard in four-day cricket but aren't getting the chance to earn any reward at the weekends.
"Our options are fairly limited with the bat but we will have another look at things. There's a case for bringing in fresh faces, hopefully with a positive attitude, to help get us going."
England veteran Darren Gough did the damage with the ball after we were asked to bat first, removing openers Jason Gallian and Darren Bicknell and returning to claim the wickets of Samit Patel and Ryan Sidebottom.
Despite David Hussey's 43, our total of 154 never looked like being enough and although Sidebottom again impressed with 2-15 from seven overs, the result was never in doubt.

Portsmouth jewelry store burglarized
PORTSMOUTH - Police are investigating an early morning burglary at a Deer Street jewelry store.
Police received an alarm call from Chrisrial and Company Jewelers at 28 Deer St. around 4 a.m. Thursday.
Within minutes, patrol officers were on scene and discovered the glass door to the building and an entrance door to the jewelry store itself had been smashed. Police said a 30-pound dumbbell left at the scene was used to break both glass doors.
Several glass cases were also smashed and an undisclosed amount of jewelry was taken. Police said the suspect fled on foot.
Video surveillance captured images of the suspect who is described as a man of medium height and medium to heavy build. Police said he was wearing blue jeans, a dark belt, black boots, a black jacket or sweatshirt with a hood, light-colored gloves and may have had a dark mask covering his face.
Portsmouth police officers along with a New Hampshire State Police K-9 unit conducted a search of the area but the suspect was not located.

Alrighty so I got my block. Its been checked and is looking good other than high mileage wear. Once I get the parts I'll be able to get it bored and balanced.
I have a 1980 z28 with the 190hp 350 LM-1. 3.42 slip diff. It is bone stock.
Uses will be late night taco bell runs, The rare relaxing cruise and as much track time as I can afford.
Heres what I'm going with and want to know if it will work well together. or missing anything.
Not entirely sure as this was given to me but I believe this is it.

I have spent a whole lot of time reading and getting a few people to critque my parts and most of them have ok knowledge as far as engines go but not so much on the performance side. I want to make sure I'm on the right track and everything will work well together. Going to eventually start shopping around everywhere but for now using summit as the main link.
This is basically pushing the budget with some left for machine work for the heads and block more gaskets, headers, oil pump and other stuff for the engine.
Trans and chassis will be researched and upgraded as soon as I've figured out the engine build. Also if anyone can give me an approximate HP/TQ figure I'd like this and any recommendations on headers, oil pump, distributors etc.
The heads you chose are very good heads.what camshaft? why a 650 carb? That car is obese,I had a 1980 Z-28 and it weighed 3915!not with a driver,yikes.Mine had a 454 ls-5.
what track time are you talking? road race? drag? slalom?
Static compression ratio 11.50:1 using those pistons. What will you use for fuel?
IK200 heads can be had with either OEM size 1.250" valve springs or aftermarket 1.437" springs. Do you know the size of the spring pockets? Your head improvement kit includes 1.437" springs. If the heads are cut for 1.250", you will have some machine work to do.
Do you understand that the valve seats are not finished on these heads? You will have some machine work to do.
Do you understand that you cannot run the valve springs directly on the aluminum head. I don't see where you have taken spring cups into consideration.
Do you understand that the rocker studs you are buying are 7/16". I'm bettin' the heads are tapped for 3/8-16 and you will have more machine work to do.
Do you understand that you cannot run a shim gasket with aluminum heads and iron block?
Do you understand that you can buy all this stuff ready to bolt on without machine work. You will pay the price for this motor, whether it's to the manufacturer who will finish the product so that it will go together without further work or you will pay less for semi-finished stuff and pay a local machinist to finish it for you. There is no free lunch. You will pay somebody.

They are saying these heads have unmachined seats.
.041? why not .04? Also now this is something I can't find much on but what would be the disadvantages of a tighter quench? If I wanted to run a tighter quench (if its advantageous of course and i wouldn't exceed below .037 or so) What would I have to do to ensure stability?
Thank you for all the additional information I really really appreciate that. Essentially I'm trying to build the most efficient engine possible. I'm also trying to read about all the tips and trick so keep em coming :D. Information is my currency. So any articles or however much you want to type is appreciated.
Also I would like to add I'm skittish about buying brands my friends or people at the car shows don't mention much. I want to do this once for the time being. I only have the next 6 months+ what I have saved to perfect this thing. So I can also only afford to do this once.
Cam: Howards Cams Retro-Fit Hydraulic Roller Camshaft and Lifter Kits CL111815-10 - SummitRacing.com
As far as the machine work questions. Anything I can do I want to do. Not want to save money on. I want to do this. To me having to pay someone else to do work I could do is alienating myself from the project. Also as a note. My father will be helping. He has been a mechanic for 25+ years. Has an abundance of tools and we have discussed this. Anything I think I can not do accurately enough He is more than happy to assist with.
I also understand higher octane does not=higher power.
I'm also going to have an approximate 9.1-9.3 DCR.
Thanks for the helpful questions. Especially the seat cups. Going to go read about those now. Really appreciate it.
That Howards roller cam is a fair cam.Is that your choice for sure?
@ vinnie there is wiggle room there. I've been thinking about going with a mechanical I just don't know if i need to worry about the restrofit like I do with the hydraulics.
@ f-bird Sorry I'm not trying to argue just curious. There is only so much information one can garner without actually talking to people.
Main question is will that setup hold together after multiple track passes?
355 build check up
If you feel more comfortable with forged pistons and rods you might want to look into a Scat 383 rotating assembly. You are buying a new crank so you might as well take advantage of an extra 28 cubes. The Brodix heads would match up with the 383 ci more than a 355 ci. Check it out at: Scat Engine Rotating Assemblies 1-90455BI - SummitRacing.com. I also thought you might would like to check out these Crower Cams. This is a mechanical roller that would benefit the heads and compression your engine has. Chevrolet Hydraulic Roller Camshaft - Performance Level 3 - Performance Levels. If you are interested call Crower and talk to them about a camshaft for you engine.
I was told forged pistons and rods for higher cr's. I'm not looking to run this thing off of pump gas. Its going to be primarily a track car with maybe 10-20 miles on it during the week. Car shows on thursday and saturday nights about 3 and 6 miles away.
Also f-bird I didn't think of that one. I may but like I said little skittish about comp.
first? are you building a 350 or 383?
How quick do you want that car to go?
are you taking any weight out of it?
then we can figure how many ponies that you need to accomplish this task
355 build check up
In building your engine you said you not worried about running it on pump gas is this correct? Have you checked on the price of racing gas lately? Well if the compression doesn't matter you could use the pistons you listed in your parts. If I was to build an engine for racing I would want an all forged rotating assembly. You have to decide how much horsepower are you building this engine for. What times and speed do you want to turn will help decide how much horsepower you need. When you start looking at 500+ horsepower is when you want forged internals. You know the heads you chose will probably support 600 hp. Once you choose the compression ratio you want then look at rotating assemblies that will give you that compression with 64cc chambered heads. The compression you choose will also dictate what camshaft to use. You don't want a camshaft needing 13.0 compression when you only have 10.5 compression. Same with your intake match it to the rpm range of the heads and camshaft. About quench, you don't mill the heads to get the quench of .035-.045 you mill the deck of the block. The easy way is to Zero deck the block and use .040 head gaskets, but you have to have this figured in when choosing your compression ratio. Buy the bare heads and wait until you decide the camshaft you want and buy the Camshaft kit to get the springs, retainers and locks. Then buy the rest of the hardware you will need to get your heads assembled. Sorry about the book but I hope it helps.
@vinnie for now its going to be a 355. I'm getting a 2nd block soon to mess with the grinding for a 383.
at least 13's. Lower is better.
I'm looking into weight reduction techniques right now. I've found body kits to help. I'm also trying to find any overweight parts in the engine bay to take out and replace if possible.
@cd minter, I'm not entirely too worried about this cars gas. Its not my daily I understand though. Like I said very few miles are going to be put on after the breakin period.
Well yea. I understand what you're saying about the cam. I may be undercamming it with my choice. I'm just trying not to over cam it.
Oh oops, yes you take the metal off the block not the heads. Sorry didn't realize I fudged up there.
I'm trying to stay between 10.75-11.5 compression ratio.
Thanks for the book I appreciate it! The more info you throw at me the happier I am.
I'll definitely make some time to go check em out. I've never thought about it too much untill I got my idea down solid really.
Take out the bumper reinforcement plates and the plates in the doors,thats a good 1/10 or more.
420 HP small block with 4.11s will get you into the 13s

Hey everyone this is my first post here. i've had my 2012 jetta TDI for almost a year now.
Recently been trying to just learn as much as i can about how it all works. very new to me and interesting the amount of technology in these things. But i was wondering why is the fuel pressure so high ? 26000 psi is crazy. just wondering what that achieves. also who has the "best" diesel fuel? my buddies are always saying oh safeway gas is **** blah blah. i usually get my diesel from a wawa close to me. sometimes a 7-11. i just want to be sure im not getting "bad" fuel.

Big Ten football odds: Futures Betting for 2014 season, Ohio State, Wisconsin, Michigan State
The Ohio State Buckeyes, winners in their last 24 regular season games, will start the 2014 NCAA Football season as heavy 10-11 favorites to emerge as Big Ten champions and a solid 12-1 bet to claim their first national championship since 2002.
After a perfect regular season last year, the Buckeyes fell short of their goal of a conference championship, falling to the Michigan State Spartans, 34-24, in the Big Ten title game. But that victory has not helped the Spartans eclipse the Buckeyes in NCAA Football odds this year.
The Buckeyes are pegged as heavy 2-5 favorites to win the Big Ten East title, edging the Spartans, who sit at 13-5 to win the Big Ten East division. The Spartans also trail the Buckeyes in odds to win both the 2014 conference title with odds of 15-4, and are well back of the pack in College Football FBS Championship futures wagering, with odds of 25-1.
The Wisconsin Badgers start the year looking to rebound from a disappointing 2013 season, which ended with a pair of 31-24 losses to Penn State and South Carolina.
The Badgers, winners of three of the last four Big Ten conference titles, open their season as 6-5 favorites to win the Big Ten West division and a respectable 9-2 to once again claim the conference championship.
[ See odds for each team to make the final 4 college football playoff tournament ]
The Badgers are closely followed by the Nebraska Cornhuskers, who own odds of 3-2 to win the Big Ten West and 11-2 to win the Big Ten championship. But things don't look quite as bright for Nebraska in national championship online betting, where they are pegged as distant 66-1 longshots to be crowned national champs for the first time since 1997.
The Michigan Wolverines, who struggled to a 7-6 record in 2013, are an intriguing 9-1 bet to win to the 2014 Big Ten title, while the Iowa Hawkeyes round out the list of favorites with odds of 14-1.
The Northwestern Wildcats top the list of longshots in Big Ten football betting with odds of 40-1, while the Minnesota Golden Gophers sit at 66-1.
The Indiana Hoosiers and Maryland Terrapins are well back of the pack at 100-1, but ahead of the Illinois Fighting Illini, Rutgers Scarlet Knights and Purdue Boilermakers, who round out Big Ten futures betting, each with odds of 200-1, per Bovada.

Technological civilization is awesome (Cont'd): Internet Community Vs. Human Trafficking
MetaFilter Saved My Pals From Sex Traffickers—Exclusive Interview | Mother Jones. motherjones.com (2010-05-22):
Forget the irritating title and summary. Besides being needlessly sensationalistic, the rhetoric of "saving" orHow an online community mobilized to rescue two young Russian women.
rescuingwomen from sex trafficking is infantilizing and intensely unhelpful; also, it's just inaccurate as a description of what actually happened.
What is awesome about this story, crappy headlines aside, is how a good friend and an Internet community managed to not only alert two young Russian women that the "agency" was lying to them, that the replacement jobs they'd been promised were actually at a skeazy strip club, and -- even more important -- while government "hotlines" and "counseling" proved to be alienating and more or less completely useless, an ad hoc group of folks on MetaFilter managed to come together to connect the women with information, a safe place to stay in New York, a friend to advocate for them and help them out, and leads on getting help to secure straightened-out visas -- meaning practical solidarity and mutual aid, through an ad hoc distributed grassroots network, scattered throughout cities all across the continent, which managed to foil a gang of lying traffickers, helped two women get themselves out of a really dicey situation, and provided with plenty of resources to help them land on their feet.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Many years ago a friend and his new trophy wife flew to Florida to sail a newly purchased Freedom 40 back to the Hudson; a remarkable venture for their honeymoon since she had never been on a sailboat before. Some time later we found ourselves sharing a little anchorage by Bannerman's Island with the couple aboard their Freedom 40. Delighted to see them again, I asked how their journey had gone and was informed that en route they had been struck by lightning twice -- losing a mast with each strike. When I expressed my concern and asked the lovely bride what she thought after the second strike, she responded, "I didn't think much about it. After all, after the first strike I just thought it was part of sailing.'
|I raced on a Cal 40 in the 70's that was struck in its slip late at night. An observer on another boat saw a ball travel down the mast and light up the cabin before it disipated. He watched for a while and didn't notice any issues but the electricity melted the nylon bushing around the depth trasducer and the boat sunk in its slip. The boat bottom was polished graphite and the keel was solid lead.
|I enjoyed reading Depthwish's account of the fuses shooting out like bullets. I noticed the same phenomenon in the late seventies on a boat that had been struck. In this case bus fuses had shot accross the nav station leaving pock marks in the opposite bulkhead. I've seen a number of strikes, but only a nearby strike myself that had no effect other than showing 88 messages on my answering machine. It is difficult to evaluate the effectiveness of protection devices as there is such great variety in the instensity of strikes and the resulting damage. Unfortunately, and in common with so many other bad interpretations of scientific data, people give to much credit to annecdotal advice. 'reminds me of my contrary witted friends that won't wear a seatbelt because they heard of some guy that was thrown from the vehicle as the onlly survivor. 'take care and joy, Aythya crew
I was on the ICW in NC when I was struck while at anchor. Blew the mastead light and VHF aerial off the masthead and burned out some random electronics below decks. However there was another effect which I did not find out about till I left the anchorage. My steel boat was now a strong magnet and my compass read due east regardless of heading.
Took a very kind naval compass adjustor a day to drive out the "Bad Spirits".
Lightning Protection Systems & Strikeshield system product

Bottom line: BOND EVERYTHING.
Good Luck
The link to the Florida University & the lightning research that was created still exists and is really, really helpful to read. (its brief & non technical).
I also just completed a US Power Squadron course on marine electronics which had one brief, but informative, chapter on lightning PROTECTION SYSTEMS. You can't stop a lightning strike but you CAN install a 'system' that provides 99% protection under a "cone." Its a three part system.... all really simple to understand... that works in conjunction with a fourth part called grounding which runs horizontal bow to stern.
The "strikeshield lightning protection system" is a commercial retail after market product that is attached to one's sailboat. I was doing some reading on it. The problem is: it seems to contradict the information from the US Power Squadron text. That is, the conductor running down the mast isn't supposed to jut sideways out over the deck. Lightning wants to do directly downward to ground and if you don't provide a low resistance path, it simply archs or jumps off the path to the path it wants to follow. Right angle turns of the after market system don't seem to be as safe as they imply.
Anyone know of any lightning strikes upon boats using that after market system? I'd bet its better than nothing, but I'm not yet convinced.
You will find many opinions, contradictory "studies", and no one set of rules for how to protect against lightning or mitigate the damage from it. The bottom line is that when a jillion volts decides to come calling, there is NO way to be absolutely certain of what it will do on your boat, no matter how it is rigged. Because it can jump, or induce currents, or create plasma balls, your best bet is to do some serious work on creating a good direct ground path (down the mast and into the water) and then learn that when the gods are bowling, you need to be ashore and indoors. Or, curled in a ball as far away from all metal parts of the boat as you can.
Very few things scare me the way the brute force of lightning does, and that's after reading all the opinions and studies. If you've ever been on a boat and felt your hair standing on end and heard static crackling off your radio antenna...."lightning protection" becomes a very remote concept.
A couple of years ago we were on our way home from Cape Breton's Bras d'Or Lakes in the middle of St. Georges Bay about 12 miles from any land when the sky darkened up REAL fast and we doused sail and fired up the engine to prepare as best we could for the fireworks display which we were sure was imminent. A bolt shot from cloud-to-cloud directly above the mast on our Aloha 27. Never have I been so close as to smell ozone and I'm in no hurry to repeat the experience.
Just remember... if you see the lightning bolt- it missed you!
|While waiting for a squal to pass up in St pete I was at the pump out at the City Marina. I stood at the wheel raining like hell and boom. We were struck it stunned me burned my hand that I had used to grab the back staw to steady myself as I turned to look over my sholder to see where the boat shed behind me was.We lost all our electronics and some things that were sitting on the shelf and were not plugged in. Well the good thing is I am alive. We had our anchor hanging on about five feet of chain to wash the mud off which may have taken some of the current away.
yes.I.was.struck.by.lightning.off.of.chicago.about .2.years.ago.
we.came.through.a.squall.trying.to.get.in.and.were .faced.with.a.horizon.that.was.black.as.coal.
I.sent.everyone.down.below.and.put.on.my.foul.weat her.gear.
I.think.we.were.lucky.that.the.boat.was.wet.as.it. spread.the.hit.over.a.larger.space.
It.basically.blasted.my.hands.off.the.wheel.a nd.when.I.could.hear.again.I.was.so.glad.to.hear.m y.atomic.4.engine.still.running.
We.lost.all.the.electronics.and.anything.plugged.i nto.the.shore.power.110.system.
At.first.I.thought.it.was.a.near.miss.as.I.saw.the .flash.about.20.yards.off.the.starboard.beam.
I.later.learned.that.the.masthead.was.struck.and.t he.bolt.travelled.down.the.starboard.topshroud.and .when.it.got.to.the.imbedded.
chainplate.spat.out.the.hull.leaving.about.a.5.inc h.circle.of.delamination.and.a.pellet.sized.hole.o ut.the.hull.of.the.boat.
Since.then.I.have.read.up.some.and.asked.some.ques tions.
1...you.need.a.good.ground.from.your.standing.rigg ing.and.your.mast.and.the.water.whether.it.is.a.pl ate.on.the.hull.a.direct.connection.
to.an.external.keel.or.(in.my.case).4.10.foot.leng ths.of.1/4.inch.chain.and.a.quicklink.which.I.hang.off.of.t he.shrouds.on.both.sides.so.if.I.am.

as.I.understand.it.with.lightning.it.can.jump.righ t.across.the.fuse.block.without.even.noticing.it.h as.blown.the.fuse.
I.know.in.my.case.the.old.style.socket.fuseholders .on.my.boat.were.blown.into.the.engine.compartment .like.little.22.bullet.
I.highly.recommend.a.hand.held.vhf.on.board.as.it. may.be.the.only.communication.you.have.after.a.str ike.
""lightning.never.strikes.the.same.place.twice....to o.bad.I.moved.my.boat""
The real reasons to bond the mast, stays, shrouds, and chainplates is to: 1)provide a protective cage for the crew to stay inside; 2) help prevent side flashes, where the current from the lightning bolt jumps laterally between to large metal components and injures or kills anyone standing in the way.
The DC grounding and bonding system for the electronics and through hulls should be separate from the lightning grounding system.

The Dangerous Lives of Sissies: How RDCA's Ad Campaign Hurts Gender Fluid Children
Throughout childhood, you do things to seek your parent's approval and avoid their disapproval. But when you are a gender noncomforming child growing up in a hetero and cis normative household, their disapproval is not about the things you have done but about what you are. My brother once flooded the downstairs bathroom by stuffing rags into the sink and turning on the taps. He caught hell, he was punished, he cried, tensions ran high, he apologized, and was welcomed back into the fold. He was still a valued member of the team, his input was still appreciated, operators were still. standing. by.
But not me. My sin was too great. I couldn't apologize for being queer. I couldn't promise not to do it again. And the entire landscape of childhood seemed treacherously constructed to march me through a series a manhood tests which I would fail. Skinning a deer? No thank you. Playing football? Yeah, if I had been coordinated and the other boys didn't always aim for my head. Picking out clothes? "What do you mean they don't have it in turquoise? We're going to need to talk to someone about this." My mother wanted me to pick out clothes from Bugle Boy: dull, uninspired shirts with Dragons or Ray Guns or Racecars on them. These clothes were perfect for the boys in the Sunday circular, who stood in several dynamic action poses to communicate that they were active boys. Holding a piece of sports equipment they seemed to stare off panel, deciding which of the dainty girls in This Summer's Hottest Fashions they would take as their future bride.
I wasn't anything like these boys, and I was punished for it. I could be scolded for crying, which I did "at the drop of a hat." I could be yelled at for dressing the way I wanted. For dyeing my hair hot pink. I catalogued expressions of distaste and disgust: the slight downward moue of irritation, the head shake meant to convey how much wasted space I was by volume, the animated features yelling at me for one thing but saying it was about another. Once one of my mother's tubes of lipstick went missing for a week and I was harangued and interrogated to the point of exhaustion - I would have preferred to skip that.
All of this makes me lucky. I survived. Not all of us do. Some of take our own lives. Some of us develop dangerous coping mechanism that lead us into adulthood. Some of us are murdered. Like Lawrence King, who was shot by another classmate for having a crush. Or Roy Jones, the 17-month-old that was beaten to death in an attempt to "make him act like a boy instead of a little girl." 17 months old. Roy Jones had 17 months on this earth before it was decided he should die for not being masculine enough.
This is my past, but also my present. So when I see posters like this I experience a molten rage that flows under the surface of my skin.
In the picture, a small boy stands in a pair of red high heels. At the bottom left is a stylized pictograph of a person doing a high kick, the name of the company, and the little boy's sentence: Karate lessons. Which he has earned for playing in his mother's shoes. Which is something most boys do at one point. He looks like he is having a grand old time, experiencing the unsophisticated pleasure of breaking boundaries. Hearing the satisfying thwack thwack of a shoe that is far too big for his feet hitting the floor.
What he is doing is making him happy and harming no one. The trains will run on time, water will continue to be wet and fat free, the pillars of society will hold. He is only daring to try on a different gender role, he is deprioritizing his masculinity. But modern masculinity is something which must be constantly reinforced, reasserted, proven. By stepping into a woman's shoes, he risks seeing his gender as not something to be defended, but something he can create himself. With a pair of shoes. Or a bracelet. Or a tube of his mother's lipstick, which, in all fairness, didn't go with any of her outfits.
But what really angers me is that a series of people looked at this photo: a photographer, a graphic artist, marketing teams, the owners of the Karate School, and they all thought the same thing: this will scare men into enrolling their children in Karate. Am I against martial arts? Not in the least. My friend Harold was in Taekwondo in middle school, and I really wanted to join. But as it happens martial arts is expensive. There are costumes to buy, appointments, enrollment fees - it wasn't possible for me. And that hasn't changed. Martial arts is still expensive. So some of the fathers with gender noncomforming children will not be able to send them to martial arts lessons as a form of gender boot camp. But they will turn the page of a magazine and see something that makes them more hostile to their child. Whose life is already to the saturation point with gender policing.
The lives of gender noncomforming children are dangerous. And because of a Miami advertising agency named "Zubi" and RDCA in Key Biscayne, those lives have become more endangered.
Did you know that Deeply Problematic pays guest posters like Garland Grey? Consider throwing a couple bucks our way.

It was just posted on Shakesville that the posters were an ad agency concept that the agency owner apologized profusely for and said that if they crossed his desk they would never have seen the light of day. The company did not approve them, a designer person made them and posted them on one f those industry boards where concept ads get found all the time.ReplyDelete
Leaper, thanks for alerting us to this!ReplyDelete
Definitely glad that these were pre-production, and that they weren't greenlit by a whole agency and company!ReplyDelete
Funnily enough, karate lessons were a great way that I felt able to defend my queer self as a kid, and almost all my friends who've done martial arts are also queer. The ads themselves still suck, but it's funny how they reminded me happily of how I associate MA with a 'freaks defend ourselves' mentality.
I wonder if you've heard of the Thai ladyboy kickboxer Nong Tum? She's an awesome example of how gender fluidity and martial arts are not mutually exclusive.ReplyDelete
Thank you for commenting on this. Using rigid, stereotypical gender roles to advertize a martial arts class is not cool. I'm glad that more and more people are recognizing that gender can be fluid and encompasses so much more than black-and-white binaries.ReplyDelete
Hey, at least it's a change from "enroll your daughters in martial arts, because otherwise they'll get raped and it'll be all your fault!"ReplyDelete

We need to get 1,000 subscribers to Ice Skating Victoria's Youtube Channel so we can live stream Australian Nationals this year. This means you will all be able to watch it as well. So I am putting out a call to all our FSU friends to subscribe to enable us to do this. And if you can share the link that would be fantastic. http://www.youtube.com/user/IceSkatingVictoria?sub_confirmation=1 Thanking you in advance.


text: I am guessing that almost every skater that is with companies such as Disney or Holiday on Ice started out as a competitive skater. Maybe I am not phrasing this very well, but instead of beating their bodies into oblivion in competition after competition, do schools exist that allow skaters to hone their performance skills with a view to auditioning?. Wouldn't it be great if Disney set up talent schools from the outset that allowed skaters to train from day one and join them when they are ready. Is this something that the Ice Theatre of New York do? Also, watching artists like Abbot and Czisny struggle in competition after competition, I would love to see tours like ballet companies that train and accept skaters that may not have the big titles, but the charisma to sell tickets.

text: Thats a new one, you do not move the slide manually at first with your hand. You press in the takedown button and rotate the takedown lever down and allow the slide to jump forward on its own, that is when you continue to slide the slide off the frame. It not like a Glock. Anyway, you must have the takedown lever down before the slide will be free to move off the frame. I have an older model, it may be different than the 92A1.
