Mesenteric angiography is a test used to examine the blood vessels that supply the small and large intestines.
Angiography is an imaging test that uses x-rays and a special dye to see inside the arteries. Arteries are blood vessels that carry blood away from the heart.
Abdominal arteriogram; Arteriogram - abdomen; Mesenteric angiogram
This test uses x-rays and a special dye called contrast to make blood vessels show up on the images.
This test is usually done in the radiology area in a hospital. You will lie on an x-ray table. You may ask for a sedative if you are anxious about the test.
Certain treatments can be done during this procedure. These items are passed through the catheter to the area in the artery that needs treatment. These include:
After the x-rays or treatments are finished, the catheter is removed. Pressure is immediately applied to the puncture site for 20-45 minutes to stop the bleeding. After that time the area is checked and a tight bandage is applied. The leg is usually kept straight for another 6 hours after the procedure.
You should not eat or drink anything for 6 - 8 hours before the test.
You will be asked to wear a hospital gown and sign a consent form for the procedure. Remove jewelry from the area being imaged.
Tell your health care provider:
The x-ray table is hard and cold. You may ask for a blanket or pillow.
You may feel a brief sting when the numbing medication (anesthetic) is given. You will feel a brief sharp pain and some pressure as the catheter is placed and moved into the artery. Usually you will only feel a sensation of pressure in the groin area.
As the dye is injected, you will feel a warm, flushing sensation. You may have tenderness and bruising at the site of the catheter insertion after the test.
This test is done:
A mesenteric angiogram may be performed after more sensitive nuclear medicine scans have identified active bleeding. The radiologist can then pinpoint and treat the source.
Results are considered normal if the arteries being examined are normal in appearance.
A common abnormal finding is narrowing and hardening of the arteries that supply the large and small intestine. This is called mesenteric ischemia. The problem occurs when fatty material (plaque) builds up on the walls of your arteries.
Abnormal results may also be due to bleeding in the small and large intestine. This may be caused by:
Other abnormal results may be due to:
There is some risk of the catheter damaging the artery or knocking loose a piece of the artery wall, which can reduce or block blood flow and lead to tissue death. This is a rare complication.
Other risks include:

Hey guys, first post on this forum. Happy to be here now.
I'm looking at this helmet and trying to determine if it's worth getting. I'd build my own, however; I don't have the time to do that with my busy schedule. I plan on making a suit in free time and wanted to get the helmet out of the way. I mainly plan to troop in it after putting padding and such in it later down the road. I think this is the ESB bucket? Correct me if I'm wrong.
Does it look like the Mystery Helmet style or Don Post? (Looks like Mystery Helm I think)
LED lights on range finder?
Finally, Is this a Rubie Co bucket? (not sure how they spell it)
Green Visor? can't really tell.
Thanks guys.

With the birth of the royal baby expected soon, and the announcement from The Royal Mint that babies born on the same day would receive a 'lucky' silver penny, I was intrigued to see whether there were records showing examples of other commemorative gifts for royal births in history.
Looking through records here at The National Archives, I found a file from the Ministry of Food (MAF 99/627) relating to the commemorative food gift parcel given to mothers of babies born on 14 November 1948 – the same day as Prince Charles, HRH The Prince of Wales.
Contained within the file is correspondence from the Commonwealth Gift Centre, part of the Ministry of Food, to Buckingham Palace suggesting the idea of a food gift parcel for mothers of babies born on the same day as the royal prince. A reply was received from Buckingham Palace stating that 'Her Royal Highness [Princess Elizabeth – now Queen Elizabeth II] thinks that this is an excellent idea and desires me to ask you to go ahead with it.'
The commemorative food gift parcels sent from the Commonwealth Gift Centre were done with the help of the Women's Voluntary Services, who did the sending of the parcels, and the Central National Registration Office, who scrutinised the birth certificates and application forms of those that applied.

NPR's Simon, Coleman falsely claimed FISA "expires tonight"
Research ››› ››› RAPHAEL SCHWEBER-KOREN
NPR Weekend Edition Saturday host Scott Simon and NPR newscaster Korva Coleman both falsely claimed that the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act "expires tonight." In fact, what is set to expire are the Protect America Act's revisions to FISA; the government would retain all surveillance powers under FISA if the PAA expired.
Opening the "week in review" segment on the February 16 broadcast of NPR's Weekend Edition Saturday, host Scott Simon falsely claimed that "the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act [FISA] expires tonight." Similarly, during the, 9 a.m. ET NPR news summary on February 16, newscaster Korva Coleman falsely claimed that the "The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act expires tonight at midnight." In fact, as Media Matters for America has repeatedly noted, what is set to expire are the Protect America Act's (PAA) revisions to FISA, which, among other things, expanded the government's authority to eavesdrop on Americans' domestic-to-foreign communications without a warrant.
The Washington Post reported in an article titled "If the Law Expires" that if the PAA expired, "The government would retain all the powers it had before last August under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), which requires the government to obtain court approval for surveillance conducted on U.S. soil or against U.S. targets." Indeed, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) noted in a February 13 statement, "[T]he underlying Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, which provides for the surveillance of terrorists and provides that in emergencies surveillance can begin without warrant, remains intact and available to our intelligence agencies." Further, a February 14 New York Times article reported:
The lapsing of the deadline would have little practical effect on intelligence gathering. Intelligence officials would be able to intercept communications from Qaeda members or other identified terrorist groups for a year after the initial eavesdropping authorization for that particular group.
If a new terrorist group is identified after Saturday, intelligence officials would not be able to use the broadened eavesdropping authority. They would be able to seek a warrant under the more restrictive standards in place for three decades through the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act.
In addition, Coleman uncritically reported that President Bush "accused House leaders of blocking [FISA's] renewal." However, as Media Matters noted, the House did vote on a 21-day extension of the PAA on February 13. All 195 House Republicans who cast a vote on the extension bill voted against it -- which President Bush had said he would veto -- and the measure failed to pass by a vote of 191 to 229.
Media Matters has documented numerous instances of media outlets falsely reporting that the government's ability to eavesdrop on the communications of suspected terrorists would expire if the PAA were not extended.
From the February 16 broadcast of National Public Radio's Weekend Edition Saturday:
SIMON: This is Weekend Edition from NPR News. I'm Scott Simon. Senators Barack Obama [D-IL] and John McCain [R-AZ] had a good week; they picked up primary victories in Washington, D.C., Maryland and Virginia. And the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act expires tonight. The Senate approved a revision but this week, the bill was stalled in the House.
From the 9 a.m. ET National Public Radio news summary on February 16:
COLEMAN: The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act expires tonight at midnight. President Bush has accused House leaders of blocking the bill's renewal, allowing some domestic spying without warrants. He says it'll be harder to protect American people. Democrats say that's not true, and they're in no hurry to act. NPR's David Nogueras reports.
NOGUERAS: Speaking from the Oval Office, Mr. Bush thanked Democrats in the Senate for passing their version of the bill this week. But with a Saturday deadline looming, House legislators have been deadlocked over a provision giving phone companies retroactive immunity, shielding them from lawsuits related to warrantless wiretapping. The president criticized the House for not passing what he said was a strong piece of legislation.
BUSH: By blocking this piece of legislation, our country is more in danger of an attack. By not giving the professionals the tools they need, it's going to be a lot harder to do the job we need to be able to defend America.
NOGUERAS: In a statement, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said even if the law expires, intelligence agencies will still be able to protect the nation. David Nogueras, NPR News, Washington.

Americans have long believed that one necessary government function is to provide and maintain adequate acreage and facilities for outdoor enjoyment and recreation. Municipal parks and recreation departments are charged with ensuring citizen-access to pleasant, interesting, and well-maintained public recreation. No one knows exactly how many acres are devoted to municipal parks and recreation areas (the city of New York alone has more than 28,000 acres), but all produce vegetative debris from intensive landscaping and maintenance.
Vegetative debris includes leaves, grass clippings, shrub and tree prunings, dead plants, limbs, and trees. This biomass is often discarded in landfills. Twenty-four states have banned the disposal of yard wastes from municipal solid waste landfills but often it can be deposited in inert debris landfills. Once landfilled, vegetative debris decomposes anaerobically (without oxygen), which creates methane—and that, in turn, contributes to global warming. Anaerobic decomposition of wastes in landfills also can cause groundwater contamination.
The vegetative debris from parks and recreation landscaping and maintenance activities is often composted in turned windrows (rows of long piles of mixed wastes). They're aerated by turning the piles periodically either by hand or machine. Typical windrow height, between 4 and 8 feet, allows for a pile large enough to generate sufficient heat and maintain temperatures, yet small enough to allow oxygen to passively flow to the windrow's core. Typical windrow width is between 14 and 16 feet. Actively composting windrows can take from 45 to 120 days.
Windrow operations are considered relatively low-tech and require the most land for composting (approximately 1 acre to process about 4000 cu. yds. annually). Most are open-air facilities, although it is possible to enclose windrow composting in a building.
Manufacturing good compost takes time. In the active composting period, microbes conduct the primary decomposition of the organic material, generally at temperatures higher than 1303 F. The curing period, a lower-temperature aging or maturation process, follows. The time needed depends on many factors, including C:N ratio (carbon:nitrogen), composting method, and degree of active management and weather, but in general, can take from 30 to 60 days for active composting and 60 to 90 days for curing (to read more about manufacturing good compost, click here).

Fantasy Baseball Morning Update: Is Morse ready?
Do you own Bud Norris? If so, last night's start probably ruined your whole week.
We didn't make a streaming starter pick yesterday, so the weekend begins with a 36-22 record for the season. Let's go with Felipe Paulino (owned in 13.9 percent of FOXSports.com leagues) today against the A's, Edinson Volquez (7.9 percent owned) on Saturday against the D-backs, and Milwaukee's Michael Fiers (0.1 percent owned) on Sunday versus the weak-hitting Pirates. This job was a lot easier a few weeks ago, when people hadn't caught on to R.A. Dickey and James McDonald. Oh, well.
On to the news:
- Michael Morse played his third minor-league rehab game on Thursday, and might be activated in time for tonight's game. Sure, this is still speculation, but the Nats could use Morse's bat, and so could you if you drafted him a couple of months ago with the expectation that he'd hit 30 home runs. Watch today's news to see if Morse gets the call. I'd feel OK about activating him right away if we find out he's in the lineup.
- As feared, Rockies SS Troy Tulowitzki has been placed on the DL due to a groin injury. Last night's Rox' lineup featured Marco Scutaro at shortstop, and DJ Lemahieu at second base, but figure that Chris Nelson and speedy Eric Young might also get time at the keystone. Unfortunately, you probably can't count on one of them to produce much.
- The Dodgers called up prospect Alex Castellanos to take the roster spot of Matt Kemp, who is expected to miss a month with his hamstring injury. Castellanos was batting .361 with four homers, seven stolen bases and a 1.176 OPS at Triple A before his callup, but A) everybody hits at Albuquerque, B) at age 26, he's not a blue-chip prospect, and C) Don Mattingly said Thursday that "I can't promise he's going to come and get a long look. Temper your expectations for Castellanos before getting blinded by his eye-popping stats.
- Orioles OF Nick Markakis is expected to miss 3-4 weeks due a broken hamate bone in his right wrist. Markakis will have surgery today, and there are no guarantees that he'll be immediately effective upon his return. The O's are thin in the outfield right now, so they'll probably move Wilson Betemit out there for awhile. Prospect Xavier Avery tweeted last night that he flew back to Norfolk with his Triple-A team, so the O's haven't called him up yet.
- Brewers OF Ryan Braun rested his sore Achilles on Thursday, but it sounds like he'll play tonight.
- Tigers' catcher Alex Avila left Thursday's game after taking a foul ball off the mask, but he's fine and should be back in the lineup on Saturday.
- This article from the Yankees' website suggests that Rafael Soriano has a good chance to keep the closer's job when David Robertson comes off the DL, probably in mid-to-late June.
- Manny Ramirez was scratched from a Triple-A game on Thursday, and there's no update on when the A's expect to recall him. Yoenis Cespedes should be back in the lineup tonight.
- Speaking of old DHs in the minors, Vladimir Guerrero hit two homers on Thursday, and now has four in four games for Class A Dunedin. He'll be with the Blue Jays soon if he keeps this up, but if rookie David Cooper hits he'll stake his claim to an everyday job before Vlad arrives.
- Rays OF Desmond Jennings hit a double and scored a run in a Class A rehab game on Thursday, and is expected to be in the Durham Bulls' lineup tonight, according to the Rays' website. Barring any setbacks, he'll be back in a few days.
- The Cardinals appear ready to activate 1B/OF Allen Craig from the DL today.
- The Mariners have recalled RP Stephen Pryor, which is newsworthy because he's their probable closer of the future, if not the present. Pryor, 22, throws triple-digit heat, and had 39 strikeouts against 12 walks with a 0.64 ERA between Double A and Triple A before his callup. Watch him.
- Padres' closer Huston Street is tracking toward a return from the DL next week.
- It still seems likely that Vance Worley will come off the DL to take Roy Halladay's rotation slot for the Phillies on Monday. Also in the linked Phillies.com article is a quote from GM Ruben Amaro Jr. about not expecting 1B Ryan Howard to return in June.
- Catcher Josh Thole will come off the DL today for the Mets.
See you back here Monday morning.

PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — The deadline has arrived for interested parties to bid on the bankrupt, Maine-based railroad responsible for a disaster that killed 47 people in Canada.
If bids are submitted by Friday's deadline, then there will be a closed-door auction next week for the Montreal, Maine and Atlantic Railways.
Details will be scarce, however. Trustee Robert Keach doesn't plan to release any details Friday.
The minimum bid is $15.7 million, which reflects an initial "stalking horse" bid by Railroad Acquisition Holdings LLC.
MM&A filed for bankruptcy after the July derailment in Lac Megantic, Quebec, which was caused after a train with 72 oil tankers began rolling after being left unattended.

The founders purchased the St. Andrews winery, located at the foot of the Silverado Trail in Napa Valley, and set out to produce Italian varietal wines - Pinot Grigio, Sangiovese and Merlot.
In 1996, after 20 years experience with other wineries, the last 13 at Newton Vineyards where he established himself in the forefront of Napa Valley winemakers, Winemaster John Kongsgaard joined Luna as Vice President and partner. John is particularly noted for his outstanding Merlots and spent seven years in collaboration with Michel Rolland from Bordeaux perfecting winemaking techniques in the Napa region.
With a passion for Italian wines combined with a desire to live slightly on the edge, John happily joined Luna. He was excited by the opportunity to travel to the "Old World" and learn how to adapt their traditional and new techniques for growing grapes and making wine from Sangiovese and Pinot Grigio.

About Napa ValleyView a map of Napa Valley wineries
It's hard not to think of Napa Valley when thinking of California wines. The region is, after all, the one that brought world recognition to California wine making. The area was settled by a few choice wine families in the 1960's who bet that the wines of the area would grow and flourish. They were right. The Napa wine industry really took off in the 1980's, when vineyard lands were scooped up and vines were planted throughout the county. A number of wineries emerged, from large conglomerates to small boutiques to cult classics. Cabernet Sauvignon is definitely the grape of choice here, with many winemakers also focusing on Bordeaux Blends. Whites are usually Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc.
Notable FactsWithin the Napa Valley lie smaller sub-AVAs that lend even more character specifics to the wines. Furthest south is Carneros, followed by Yountville, Oakville & Rutherford. Above those two is St.-Helena and finally, just granted an AVA, Calistoga. These areas are situated on the valley floor and are known for creating rich, smooth Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Chardonnay. There are a few mountain regions as well, nestled on the slopes overlooking the valley AVAs. Those include Howell Mountain, Stags Leap and Mount Veeder. Wines from the mountain regions are often more structured and firm, benefiting from more time in the bottle to evolve and soften.
About California
The most famous of the California wine regions is Napa Valley, and these wines are certainly outstanding – but it's not as broad and diverse as its larger neighbor, Sonoma County. Down south, Santa Barbara's Santa Maria Valley is well-known for its Rhône blends, as well as cool-climate varieties like Pinot and Chardonnay. The Central Coast, the largest California AVA, has many different microclimates that lead to a wide range of wines with many sub-AVAs.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Jef...sounds similar to what I do. I like the fact that you let the anchor set itself. I have found this works best too...particularly with CQR's...and as I recall I learned this lesson one long night in eel grass! (G)
|Thanks for the clarification... sounds like a good system for your boat...
The windlass is NOT taking the load in my approach. Perhaps you don't understand that the load of the line is on a "bow" cleat which is 3.5' ± aft and slightly to the side of the vertical gypsy of the windlass. The line does exert some lateral force on the drum, but the cleat is doing all the work. The windlass drum is functioning the way a deck block might which changes the angle of the line 20 or 30° such as my halyard which then passes aft to a line stopper. The line stopper is taking the load, much the way the cleat does for my anchor.
In fact, the anchor line load is usually so little that I can "lift" the line off the drum or pull it away from the drum with not much effort. This is much less force than using the drum to pull the 1200# it is rated for.
The only use for chafe gear is when the bow is shearing too much and the line might just jump out of the bow roller and chafe against the ss cheeeks of the bow roller assembly. This is rare and to combat that I set a riding sail which will weathercock the boat and mitigate yaw. And finally the roller housing can accommodate a second roller which I can insert, using a removable SS pin slightly aft and above the bow roller. This "forces" or holds the snubber line down into the main stepped bow roller so it doesn't ride up to chafe against the cheeks.
However in most cases the snubber line rides on the bow roller with no chafe whatsoever.
The ultimate "no chafe" approach is to connect the bitter end of the mooring snubber to my bow eye. This gives me another 40' of 1" nylon rode added to the max 200' of chain and lowers the attachment point 2' increasing the scope ratio. No place to chafe. When the blow is over I can pull in some chain and take the load off the line and move or remove it.
Again, using a bridle mean using fair leads and in my case that means through the metal toe rail and this is a chafe point. This is the place where boats on moorings chafe through leaving the loop on the cleat!
Chafe is the enemy of the sailor.
sv shiva
the only major suggestion I'd make is switching from tygon tubing to dyneema woven chafe protector. One of the major sources of nylon lines failing is due to internal friction and heat buildup... tygon tubing prevents the seawater or rain from getting to the nylon rope and lubricating/cooling it... so may increase your chances of having the line fail. This isn't completely necessary, since, in your case, the nylon snubber is just for comfort and to reduce shock loading on the boat rather than the actual connection to the anchor. The dyneema woven chafe sleeves allow the water to penetrate and lubricate the line and prevent much of the friction and heat.
I would also think that it would still be wiser to tie the snubber off to a properly mounted mooring bitt, rather than take the load on the windlass. Most windlasses say in their installation and use guides that they are not designed to take the shock loading of the anchor rode, and that the rode should be made fast to the boat elsewhere.
My experience with anchoring... and the technique I have developed has come from living aboard for 4 yrs and cruising on my boat in the Caribbean, and in New England for 21.
My snubbing line is actually 1" nylon braid and I do have a 30" length of tygon plastic tubing which I can slide to mitigate chafe. But usually there is no chafing points.
My windlass is a Maxwell 1100c vertical (about 1,200# pull) and the snubber line is led around it and the angle is hardly enough to stress or bend the windlass. I would estimate the angle is something like 210°. I don't have to lead it this way, but when I do retrieve the tackle with the snubber using the windlass it is easier.
Of course the snubber line, the rubber compensator, the chain all have to be sized for the vessel and it also depends on the number of wraps you take around the rubber.
My vessel displacement is 16,000 and I use a compensator for 24mm line and boats up to 20 meters. The EDPM rubber is very stout and unaffected by UV.
Other yachts use a rather short length of line which may absorb some shock, but nothing like the rubber compensator which I can see stretch at times to perhaps 1.5x its length.
If it does "snap" the thick nylon line is still there as shock absorber and the jerk would not be very much, certainly not enough to do damage of part the chain I would think. I have never been there so I don't know.
I set my anchor from the bow, not from the cockpit backing down with the motor. I let the wind push the boat back, lay out the chain and then the flukes dig in. When they do the CL of the boat will align with the chain and if the wind is strong enough it will lift the catanary.
I then set the mooring snubber with the captive compensator and let out about her 15'+ foot of chain. The chain aft of the chain hook drops down in the water and the line takes the load. If the wind is strong enough the compensator will untwist a bit indicating that there is considerable tension in the rode. The catanary and the rubber are now absorbing the shock. I experience not jolts with this system. This system can easily hand tension from 50 knots according to the component specs.
If I want to use MORE nylon line I can, by slipping the line on the cleat up to 40'. If the windlass has problems or the anchor is stuck, the snubber line has a float attached at the bitter end so I can drop/ release the chain and it will have a float on it for retrieval later.
I often put a float on the anchor as well.
In more than 16 yrs using this very system I have dragged but once or twice and I think the anchor was fouled in eel grass. The CQR doesn't like eel grass.
My "permanent" mooring system uses a large bow eye (5/8" Ø ss) which is attached through a very stout SS stem fitting on the boat. My mooring painter is not a loop, but a huge Wichard 4,000# rated ss snap hook carabine. There is no possibility for chafe. I have a typical loose 1" - 3 strand mooring painter with a loop on the bow cleat as a back up. This painter takes no tension under normal conditions and serves as a "safety" line back up.
And suggestions or comments?

Thanks TrueBlue!
Thanks for the diagram and info on the snubber. That is exactly what I've been looking for. And to think it came from a fellow "True Blue" That's the name of our boat also!
|I have a very good instructional paper on how not to use a danforth...any one interested???
When you do set your Anchor. Be sure that the Bitter End of your Anchor Rode is secured to the boat. Or it will be all for naught on anchoring. LOL
Reminds me of the old charter boat tale they tell in the BVI's about the couple that called in on the fourth day of their charter saying:
"We've chartered for a week but they only gave us three anchors...can you bring us enough for the next four nights?" (G)

AMEN!! Got that right!!
Well said Brother!
Hey did ya hear where Commie-fornia just gave illegal aliens the right to access taxpayer money for education? I wonder how many citizens and hard working legal residents (legal immigrants who did all the right things) kids this stupid law will displace in Colleges?
WTF is this crap all about? Its merely an extension of our 'Commie in Chiefs" failed policy's. I dont know about ya all, but Im sick and tired of this crap and I'm not gonna sit by idle and put up with it anymore! I dont wanna pay for a criminal to go to college! I refuse to freaking do! Kick those illegal Alien A holes out. Don't put them on a plane or bus..set up a big cannon on the Rio Grande and fire them back to Mexico at supersonic speeds! It will sound something like this. Boom! followed by Splat! I bet that fixes the freaking problem.
Im a Texas guy, and Rick Perry (we call him slick Rick down this a way) failed miserably on this issue. With all the Americans outta work, why do we have to pay for this criminal illegal alien scum sneaking into America? We have enough criminals here, do we really need to import more?
Watch out, similar bullcrap is coming to a libtard state legislature near you soon!

I am so sorry to hear about that.
I for 1 am tired of pressing 1 for english. Mark my words, before too long the whole recording is going to be in spanish, with one lonely, solitary English phrase.
"Press 2 for English."
Its only going to get worse unless we vote the right people in.
Enforcement, NOT Amnesty!!!!!!
"If theyre going to come here illegally, apply for & receive assistance through a corrupted Government agency encouraging this lawless behavior, work under the table & send billions of dollars each year back to their families in Mexico, while bleeding local economies dry, protest in our streets waving their Mexican flags DEMANDING rights, while I have to press 1′ for English, then they need to be shipped back to where they came from!" -Chad Miller

AMES, Iowa -- Horticulturists with Iowa State University Extension and Outreach answer questions about lawn seeding, from what to look for in a grass seed mix to how frequently to water a newly seeded area. Homeowners and gardeners with lawn questions should contact horticulturists at Hortline by emailing firstname.lastname@example.com or calling 515-294-3108.
Late summer (mid-August to mid-September) is the best time to establish a new lawn from seed and to overseed existing lawns in Iowa. Late summer seeding has several advantages over spring seeding. The seeds of cool-season grasses germinate quickly in the warm soil of late summer. Once the seeds germinate, the warm days and cool nights of early fall promote rapid turfgrass growth. The growing grass also has less competition from weeds, as few weed seeds germinate in fall.
When purchasing grass seed, select a high quality seed mix that is best adapted to the site. Kentucky bluegrass is the best choice for sunny areas that receive at least six hours of direct sun each day. Choose a seed mix that contains at least two or three bluegrass cultivars. Because Kentucky bluegrass is slow to establish from seed, perennial ryegrass is often included in bluegrass mixes to speed establishment. The fine-leaf fescues (creeping red fescue, hard fescue, chewings fescue, etc.) are the best grasses for shady locations. In lawns that contain sun and shade, select a seed mix that is approximately 60 percent Kentucky bluegrass, 30 percent fine-leaf fescue and 10 percent perennial ryegrass. Kentucky bluegrass will be the dominant grass in the sunny areas while the fine-leaf fescues will thrive in the shaded portions of the lawn.
The first step in planting a new lawn is to establish the rough grade. Remove construction debris, then fill in low spots and level off high areas. The ground should slope away from the foundation of the house, drive and sidewalks. The rough grading should be done well in advance of seeding to allow settling to occur.
To determine soil fertility, conduct a soil test. Apply the recommended fertilizer, then incorporate it into the soil. Where a soil test has not been made, apply 10 pounds of 10-10-10 or a similar analysis fertilizer per 1,000 square feet and till it into the soil. The final step in soil preparation is hand raking the area. This is also the last opportunity to establish the final grade. Immediately prior to seeding, apply a starter lawn fertilizer. A starter lawn fertilizer is high in phosphorus.
Apply the seed with a drop-type seeder or by hand. The basic requirement is uniform distribution over the area. Sow half the seed in one direction; the remaining half should be applied at a right angle to the first application. After sowing the seed, lightly rake or drag the area. The seed should be covered to a depth of 1/8 to 1/4 inch. Roll the area lightly to ensure good contact between the seed and soil.
To reduce the competition from the established turfgrass, mow the lawn at a height of 1½ to 2 inches. Successful overseeding requires good seed-to-soil contact. Simply throwing or broadcasting seed over the lawn typically results in poor seed germination, as much of the seed rests on the thatch layer or soil surface. Core aerators, vertical mowers and slit seeders can be used to ensure good seed-to-soil contact.
Core aerators are machines with hollow metal tubes or tines. They remove plugs of soil when run over the lawn. To prepare the site, go over the lawn three or four times with the core aerator. When finished, there should be 20 to 40 holes per square foot. Apply the seed with a drop seeder. Afterward, drag the area with a piece of chain link fence or drag mat to break up the soil cores and mix the seed into the soil.
It's also possible to prepare the site with a vertical mower. When run over the lawn, the knife-like blades of the vertical mower slice through the thatch and penetrate into the upper 1/4 to ½ inch of soil. One or two passes should be sufficient. Afterwards, remove any dislodged debris from the lawn. Sow grass seed over the lawn with a drop seeder. Work the seed into the soil by again going over the site with the vertical mower.
Large areas also can be overseeded with a slit seeder. A slit seeder makes small grooves in the soil and deposits the seed directly into the slits.
Core aerators, vertical mowers and slit seeders can be rented at many garden centers and rental agencies. If you would rather not do the work yourself, many professional lawn care companies can overseed your lawn.
After seeding, keep the upper 1 inch of soil moist by watering once or twice a day. With adequate moisture and warm soil temperatures, the seeds of most turfgrasses should germinate in two to three weeks. When the grass seedlings reach a height of 1 to 2 inches, gradually reduce the frequency of watering, but water more deeply.

The effect of architectural theories on everyday practice is hard to pin down. On one hand, Vitruvius's holy trinity of firmness, commodity, and delight are foundational to why architecture matters in the largest sense. On the other hand, his theoretical trinity is a little inscrutable when it comes to change orders or building codes.
Nevertheless, the most powerful theories—from Vitruvius to Venturi—have connected architecture's purpose to provide shelter with its potential to inspire its inhabitants. It may surprise you to learn that the General Services Administration (GSA) has operated since 1962 according to its own homegrown architectural theory: the "Guiding Principles for Federal Architecture." Fifty years later, these principles have forged stronger links between theory and practice than other architectural philosophies, which too often perpetuate the enormous gap. More importantly, these principles still guide some of this country's most adventurous works of public architecture.
In 1949, President Truman created the GSA, which assumed the authority to commission and construct federal buildings from the Treasury Department. But, by 1959, the government had not kept pace with its own internal growth. President Kennedy formed a committee on federal office space to investigate how to expand inside (and beyond) the Beltway as well as tackle critiques of banal federal architecture. Daniel Patrick Moynihan (who later became a senator from New York) chaired the committee, and the rest is, well, history. In what was a simple report on the narrow question of office availability, Moynihan declared a broad architectural theory that he humbly titled "Guiding Principles for Federal Architecture." He did it in just over 500 words.
"The 'Guiding Principles' provide a vision and rationale for us to deliver legacy-quality architecture," says Edward Feiner, FAIA, former GSA chief architect.
"There's a pragmatic side of theory," says Julie Snow, FAIA, whose firm, Julie Snow Architects, has worked on several projects with the GSA. "And, for me, that doesn't exclude the aspirational side of Moynihan's comments—the idea that architecture has the ability to reflect the aspirational side of democratic life and culture."
Written in the spirit of urbane optimism, the "Guiding Principles" established public architecture's functional and symbolic roles. Moynihan references the Vitruvian need for firmness and commodity, and then calls for delight by stating that design "must provide visual testimony to the dignity, enterprise, vigor, and stability of the American Government." All told, it is much more than a call for "good design"; it is a call for smart design that is economic, contemporary, contextual, and accessible. By connecting public building and our national character, Moynihan's words became the architectural conscience of the federal government by couching architecture as the art of building rather than merely a design service. "Major emphasis should be placed on the choice of designs that embody the finest contemporary American architectural thought," writes Moynihan, pointing out that this emphasis must "flow from the architectural profession to the Government, and not vice versa."
"Amongst architects, the GSA is looked upon as a great client—not least because they are seen as being at the forefront of how architecture and social space can be developed," Snow says. "I've actually started lectures by telling people to go read the Moynihan principles because he articulates what architects do—and should do."
At mid-century, when Beaux-Arts Classicism dominated public buildings in Washington, D.C., and elsewhere, American designers were also building boldly for the future in structures such as Washington's Dulles International Airport, completed in 1962 and designed by Eero Saarinen, FAIA. Moynihan, for his part, did not mandate traditionalism, or flinch from placing the responsibility for "delight" on the shoulders of the architect—a remarkable commitment to art as well as an abdication of control.
Congress approved the Brooks Act in 1972, which allows the federal government to commission architecture firms through a two-tier procurement process, rather than limiting itself to the lowest bidder. In 1973, the GSA reinstated the Art in Architecture Program, which mandates a percentage of construction costs for art and emphasizes careful coordination between building and artistic design. In 1994, the GSA initiated its Design Excellence Program, which commissions leading architects and relies on a wide group of private-sector peer reviewers to comment upon both new design and the restoration or renovation of existing structures. Moynihan's principles, written at a time of perceived dullness in federal design, served as the theoretical basis for the Design Excellence Program, founded to reinvigorate the GSA's architectural inventory.
Over the past 50 years, Moynihan's "Guiding Principles" have been interpreted to accommodate the most pressing design concerns of the age. In the first few decades, structures such as the Robert C. Weaver Federal Building in Washington, D.C. (the headquarters of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, completed in 1968 and designed by Marcel Breuer, FAIA), and Chicago's Kluczynski Federal Building (completed in 1974 and designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, FAIA), blended efficient corporate Modernism with a call for distinctive public spaces.
As architectural trends shifted, the "design freedom" edict of Moynihan's principles allowed it to adapt. The Juliette Gordon Low Federal Building in Savannah, Ga., completed in 1986, fits snugly into one of the city's historic squares through the use of appropriate scale, even if its exterior subway-tile cladding has been called a misstep by architectural critics. In addition, the restoration of the Jose V. Toledo Federal Building and U.S. Courthouse in San Juan, Puerto Rico, in 2002 by Maurice Finegold, FAIA, is an excellent example of regionalism, historic preservation, and adaptive use—three important tenets of sustainability. More recently, passive heating and cooling has become another important tenet of sustainability, inspired, in part, by historic structures and enabled by evolving technologies. The poster child of this movement among recent GSA buildings is the San Francisco Federal Building, completed in 2007 and designed by Thom Mayne, FAIA, principal of the Los Angeles firm Morphosis. Not only did Mayne's team advance passive systems by showing that they could be used on a large scale, but the team integrated high-security measures in the process.
Moynihan did not intend for his white paper to evolve into a theory; but, as the GSA has continued to execute his vision and adapt to changing trends, the "Guiding Principles" have become a coherent set of tested propositions. The evidence speaks for itself.
On May 16, the GSA will host the Moynihan Symposium on Public Design in Washington, D.C., which is free and open to the public, in conjunction with AIA National Convention. To register, visit convention.aia.org; to read more about the buildings discussed here, visit aia.org.

Spinach—it's high in vitamin D, calcium, folic acid and is quick cooking. Serve it as a side with grilled chicken or fish and you've got a well-balanced meal. Sauté it with garlic, chopped tomatoes and olive oil, toss with pasta and it's the perfect one dish meal for spring and summer. So, how do you get your kids to eat it?
This past Easter, I found myself growing tired of the same old preparation. I've also fallen into a veggie rut with my 7 year old and 2 year old. There's only so much broccoli and peas you can serve before they start their own food revolution. Since we're all born with a natural sweet tooth, I wondered what I could do to tame the earthy flavor, which I love, to make it more palatable to the kiddies. Then I spied the container of raisins on the kitchen counter. The baby has been on a raisin kick and can eat her weight in them. I figured why not add some to mix.
A quick sauté of thinly sliced onion, slivers of garlic and a handful of raisins transformed this humble green into a tasty side. I've even used the leftovers for panini filling with some fresh mozzarella cheese and tomato jam. And, when in doubt, toss it with a whole grain pasta, and you too will see your little ones channel their inner Popeye.
Sauteed Spinach with Onions, Garlic and Raisins
This recipe seems like it's a lot of spinach, but keep in mind this leafy green cooks down to a lot, leaving you with just about 2 cups when it's
Serves 4
2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 small onion, thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
8 cups packed spinach leaves, rinsed and well-drained
1/3 cup raisins
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
- Heat olive oil in your Cuisinart 3-quart round covered casserole. Add the onion and sauté over medium-low heat until golden, about two minutes. Add garlic and sauté for another minute until it becomes fragrant. Add spinach to the pot, along with the raisins and nutmeg. Cover and cook until barely wilted, about 2 minutes. Remove lid, stir spinach and season with salt and pepper. Cover and remove from heat. Let stand for two more minutes for perfectly cooked spinach. Serve warm.


text: #1 Reason to be excited - Rumors are circulating that Rasheed Wallace is going to join Mo Cheeks' staff. 1-There are few in the world who could instantly force our players to respect their coaching staff more. 2-The on-the-court intensity is going to increase two-fold, immediately, with Sheed on the staff barking at them (lazy player.. he's not going to allow for that as a coach). 3-PERFECT big man coach ~ on both sides of the court ~ for young Andre Drummond AND Greg Monroe (*and Tony Mitchell, namely motivation-wise). 4-Voted as the highest-IQ player in the league - by NBA GM's - multiple times; he's going to be a great asset to the staff from an x's and o's perspective. 5-Established respectful relationship with Mo Cheeks, recommended him to Joe-D, in fact. Six-Already got some experience as an assistant coach on Mike Woodson's staff last season after suffering a season ending injury (he wasn't just hanging around, his official title was assistant coach). #2) I LOVE the Caldwell-Pope pick. Best shooter in the entire draft, arguably. More than enough size and athleticism to guard his position. A hard worker on and off the court, great character, great intangibles guy (McLemore wasn't). Really, really fills a need for us. Sounds like he's not much of a play-maker with the ball in his hands. Neither was Rip Hamilton. That's your NBA comparison right there. #3) I LOVE the Tony Mitchell pick. If you haven't youtube the fella. LeBron James has NOTHING on him as an athlete (not joking). He's even got a little size on James. He's the perfect pick as an anti-LeBron defender. If he works hard, he could become a very useful offensive player as well (at least a little skilled in every area). Not being able to read or write (well) and problems with his second college coach were his problems. Motivation shouldn't be a problem with Sheed on staff here. Nor should ego. Lotto-level talent we got in the second, rare. #4) I Like the Siva pick too. Could potentially be an upgrade over Bynum as our third point. Size and Shooting are going to limit him from ever being much of a player in the league. But shouldn't your third point be pass-first anyways? Just saw him in one game - the championship game - but I thought he was one of the more impressive college players I saw all season. Loved his athleticism and how he attacked the basket efficiently in transition. Loved how he ran that team. Seemed to be the driving-force behind that championship squad from a personality perspective too - which is a deal. Not bad at all for where he was taken. #5) Free Agency. Hearing that Iggy is our #1 target. Offer him more than anyone else and we'll get him. Established, respectful relationship with Mo Cheeks. One of the best perimeter defenders in the league - need one. Slashing, passing offensive style contrasts well with KCP, Singler, Middleton, etc. Intangibles wise, all-A's. It'd make a big big difference. ...5-B: Need to sign a good veteran point to backup Knight as well. Might as well be Calderon, right? ...5-C: Need a good third big man. Someone better than Max. Idk who right now. Fishing for suggestions. Six) Brandon Knight/Mo Cheeks. I am one who personally believes that Brandon Knight still has a great deal of potential. He's got great height, and will have excellent size if he continues to work hard and pack on muscle (seems like a hard-working kid). One of the best athletes in the league at his position - - could become a great defender and fast-break runner with work. Outside shot continues to improve and he could become a real threat before it's all said and done up top. NEVER going to be a slashing, ultra-instinctive, penetrating, eyes in the back of his head machine like CP3, Parker, etc. But he doesn't HAVE to be. Mo Cheeks wasn't. Simply running the offense, putting the ball where it's supposed to go, protecting it, not turning it over, being able to run with it, being a threat to knock down shots from up top - - there's nothing wrong with that. He's a smart kid who works hard and wants to learn. I want to see what Cheeks can do with him. Still a very young man too, 21, college-junior aged. Just a little older than Burke/MCW and a little younger than CJ. Lots of NBA experience under his belt too. C: A. Drummond, *(???)*, V. Kravtsov PF: G. Monroe, J. Jerebko SF: *A. Iguodala(?), T. Mitchell, K. Middleton SG: K. Caldwell-Pope, K. Singler PG: B. Knight, *J. Calderon(?), P. Siva I'm excited ladies and gentlemen. Heat are still kings, and we're not going to knock them off. Pacers, Nets (now) and Bulls (with a healthy Rose) would still be a little bit ahead of us. But I'll think we'll be right there in that next tier...and with a lot of room to improve. ...Third big-man ideas?

Men visit their doctors 30 percent less often than women, according to a recent study published in the Journal of Women's Health. So beyond specific maladies that may prompt visits, guys should arrive at each doctor's appointment knowing which tests to request, says Emily Senay, M.D., author of From Boys to Men: A Woman's Guide to the Health of Husbands, Partners, Sons, Fathers, and Brothers.
In addition to health history, Senay recommends that men discuss the following points with their docs at their next visit:
Blood pressure. High readings can be a predictor of heart conditions and may indicate that you need to make preventative diet and exercise changes.
Skin cancer screenings. Men are less likely to wear sunscreen and often miss the signs of sun damage, Senay says. Have a physician or dermatologist check for unusual moles or lesions.
Diabetes and cholesterol levels. Two simple blood tests can reveal your cholesterol levels and whether you've developed diabetes, an often-undetected problem in men.
Prostate protection. Discuss any below-the-belt pain or issues that may be affecting you, and ask for a prostate exam and a colon checkup.

Weekend Softball Series Moves From Green Bay to Dayton
By Justin Grones (@JustinGrones)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) – The Green Bay softball team has four players batting above .300 this season, but against Mother Nature this spring the Phoenix is 0-for-4. This weekend's series against Wright State, which would have been the home opener for Green Bay, has been moved to Dayton, Ohio due to the weather.
Green Bay will battle the Raiders at 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. central time on Saturday, and 11 a.m. central time on Sunday. The schedule change is the fourth for the Phoenix this season and the third in the last week after last weekend's home series against Cleveland State was postponed and a doubleheader scheduled for today at Western Illinois was cancelled.
As of Apr. 10, the forecast for Dayton calls for mostly cloudy skies and a high of 49 on Saturday and a balmy 60 degrees and sunny on Sunday. In comparison, snow-covered Green Bay is predicted to have a 40-degree, mostly cloudy Saturday and a rainy Sunday with a high of just 42 degrees. Barring any changes, Saturday will be the first time the Phoenix has been able to play since a 9-1 thumping of UIC nine days ago.
Weather permitting, Green Bay will be back in action on Tuesday, April 16 in a doubleheader at Wisconsin, a team receiving votes in the ESPN.com/USA Softball Collegiate Top 25.

Fish and Game: Skimming across water illegal, and bad idea
By DAN SEUFERT
Union Leader Correspondent | March 10. 2014 8:04PM
"We've had to pull bodies out of the water of people who thought they were just having some fun," said Sgt. Brad Morse, a Fish and Game conservation officer.
"We get a few every weekend," he said. "We had a bunch out at Governor's Island during the fishing derby (last month), and we even had a few last weekend at the Mosquito Bridge (in Belmont)."
On Sunday, Laconia fire officials say an all-terrain vehicle rider tried to skim in about eight feet of water off Weirs Beach but sank. The operator reportedly hitched a ride away from the scene on another ATV.
"It happens all winter, it just seems to happen more in these months," Morse said.

Hello all-
First and foremost I want to thank all of you that have guided me thus far and those continue to create and inspire. I wouldn't be any where near where I'm at now, had I not stumbled across this site.
On to the project: I made a Halloween costume a few years back to go with my Clone Trooper helmet I bought. I had a lot of fun making the costume, even though it looked terrible by TDH standards. My goal is to someday work up to the level of making a true to movie Fett suit (probably ESB). This project is a custom Mandalorian suit inspired by the Republic Commando books. I kind of imagined a Clone Trooper going rogue and becoming a bounty hunter.
For my practice run, I purchased two helmets: a normal men's batting helmet and a girls softball helmet (complete with ponytail extension). I bought them both at a used sporting goods store for about $10 a piece. I cut the brim/face mask off of the softball helmet, which already kind of looks like Lando's mask from ROTJ. Here is what I have done so far. I apologize in advance for my lack of photos from the earlier stages. I'll do better next go around.
Thanks for all the support.

Hi' can anyone give advise?Ive rebuilt a 318 for a 68 vali used hi comp pistons, a magnum cam big tho still hydraulic, airgap performer manifold and 600 vacume carburetter on msd ready to run billet distributer. the heads have been mildly ported and 360 valves fitted.ive taken it to dyno places and spent hundreds but have ended up tuning better myself.I have a problem with plugs failing after just a few hundred k's & then strong smell off unburt fuel. ive tried all the distributer centrefigural settings and beleive have the best setting, also have had carbureter tuned down but still have the same problem.My engine builder said he had advanced the cam by half a tooth to improove the responsivness. im thinking would this be the problem where the fuel is delivered to early now perhaps and the spark is now late' somthing ? or could it be somthing else. it does dyno at 220hp at rear wheels its not really lacking but if any1 may have a idea it would be much appreciated?ps what happened to just the old interorgator gas anylist machines cause no1 can tune these anymore!
first... the old scopes have died do to lack of replacement circuit boards... and almost no body has a set of schematics .. lack of service parts requires you to replace them with something else.. most fuel system tuning is done these days with either narrow band heated oxygen sensors.. or the more expensive wide band oxygen sensors ... tells how much oxygen is left in the exhaust.. gives you an accurate idea of air fuel ratio..there are also detonation sensors that bolt to the sides of the engine block.. or screw in.. these are actually piezo microphones and generate electrical signals to be picked up and displayed if the engine is detonating.. what number spark plugs are you using.. at what gap.... you have a ready to run HEI.. but with which coil... i had a friend that found his car would slow 3/10th if he ran the spark plugs more than 3 passes...have you ohmed the spark plug wires?? verified that they are less than 1,000 ohms per inch.. is there visible damage to the spark plugs.. where the electrodes are eroded.. or are they carbon coated and starting to misfire..
Your having the same problem because the engine is so lean it's about to self distruct...Never detune a carb lean to make horse power. Find the power someplace else...Never push a stock cam ahead it will fall off at the higher RPM. I read this post and I just get so Pizzed this guys make a living tuning engines and they don't know what they are doing. Stay away from these guys!!!! Why in the world did you tune down a 600 cfm carb. It sounds to me your making power because the engine is so lean. Your blowing the Plugs apart because of that. If anything you don't jet lean. Jet for max power. Your not running a 1/4 mile. Ask the engine builder if the intake valves are burnt if he is going to replace them for nothing?1.The raw fuel you smell is the fact the plugs aren't firing to burn the fuel. Get rid of your dyno guy and engine builder. 2.Put the cam straight up and make sure the timing chain hasn't stretched. Why did he do that on a stock cam is assinine. 3.The carb put the stock jets back in and tune the engine for that. 4.Because your so lean I would do a cranking compression test.5.If they removed springs in the distributor go back to the stock set-up that MSD had for a power curve. If the engine bogs then adjust the advance spring buy putting in a little set.I would just put everything back to the stock settings, and tune from that point. Then make one change at a time. You make a TOO HOT a sprk plug in the engine also...Bob
I had the 600 cfm tuned down besause it was the new silver plated from rocket performance and it was jetted up high to suit a wider range of aplications.it was running so rich that the plugs went black in days and you couldnt breath from the fumes. Its jetted now as a normal 600 would be. Before the mixure screws didint change a thing now it can be adjusted.I know what your saying about the cam. Its a magnum 180 cam ive seen other 318 engines make as much as 400hp using the same but why it was advanced i dont understand. I will dial it in myself agin to marks & go from there.
ive seen a few of those machines on ebay i was thinking it might be handy to have as they do make life easy and show a torqe curve. Im using ngk bp5es and bp4es spark plugsive tested the power coming from the msd everything there seems ok. once i solve this initial prob i might chance gaps slightly higher for a longer spark and try get it close to perfect
Does the engine make the Top RPM range? Then there is something going on. That could be one of the problems. A nice long spark is nice. But here is a problem that can occur. When the spark is that wide believe it or not the flame can actually get blown out by the incoming charge of fuel&air. Close the gap. I don't know what your using as a Gap but go to a .032 or .035 for a street engine. Are you running a .065 gap. I used NGK plugs in my Race Engines for years. I used Autolite Plugs also. I would never buy a Champion plug ever. The ground electrodes blow off the plug. I'm am not going to debate you but as I said I would put all the things back to stock. Then make one change at a time. I would definetly do a cranking compression test. Maybe your problem is there.put that cam back straight up If that carb was so rich why didn't you call the manufacturer up. Or put another one from somewhere to see if the carb changed something. Its possible the carb has an interal leak. The floats are they where they should be? You have to get back to a basic setting.Check your engine oil also I'll bet it smells like gas. The Cam can't be advanced a half tooth. Is that what he told you? Its either 1 full tooth or it doesn't match the crank sprocket or the cam gear. What did he actually advance the cam or the crank sprocket teeth. Before you work around the ingition or cranking the engine. Dis able your ignition. Pull the fuse! Check you TDC verses you timing marks. You can do that will a compression gauge, or hold you finger over the hole. When you do this make sure the battery is good. Or put a charger on it. Bob
thankx bobIve been using the plugs where there set in packet which is the .035 gap that seems to be good i was told i could start off by opening a point bigger at a time to try find best gap but i have played with that b4 but with the engine not been right to start with ive been leaving it at .035It has good compression i used paper to find top dead in number 1 one time and it blew out and hit garage roof. ive a comp tester but havnt tested the compression.The oil seems ok no real petrol smell but i do change it fairly often as engine is basically new maybe three times so far.ive used lighter springs in the msd and have eliminated pinging tho after a while if engine is driven over 100kmph for a period it does start to heat up a little and has pinged. I might start as by what your saying is to set the cam back. im not 100% he said half a tooth im not sure what hez done until i look i guess.The carburetter i brought as best suited for this engine as i didnt stroke it or id use a 750 but the 318 seems not to like allot of fuel as b4 it just had a 350 two barrel. i did speak to allot of carburetter experts and where i got it and it was recomended just to be rejeted to suit more the 318,' it all wasnt cheap to do as its turned out i shoud have fitted the 360 crank and had the 355 maybe thats my problem! but you could be right starting from scratch with timing i think its the way to go
To add with the rpm im not sure i havnt a taco on it i think around 5000rpm, it seems to start to loose power at 160knpr on dyno, b4 that point it makes around 220 at the wheels. I would of thought it to pull allot longer than that and make a bit more.....
dragr33 I'll try and answer your 2nd post first. If the cam is over timed, it will run out of steam early. In other words it won't pull to it's potential. It could have flattened the valve springs some also. Trying to get it up in RPM you could have experienced valve float, so minor you didn't know it. Were the valve springs matched to the cam? If you can borrow a 600 or 650 cfm carb try it, and see if that helps. I ran my 402 Big Block Chevy with a 750CFM carb, and that was plenty for it. Thats nearly a 100 more Cubic Inches then you are running, and my engine was modified a lot more. I'm glad to hear your making some progress.Bob
Making some progress. Havnt had much time till now.mainly starting from scratch as you said is what im doing, i would wish to be in position to borrow and test other carbies but i dont know anyone. im just going thru settings one by one starting with a manifold vac gauge to find where it is to perhaps change power valve. i herd theres a tab on the arms for float inside bowl so il be checking level that way.il also check secondary is working and im not sure ive a holley hi volume pump ive herd can be as hi as 8psi so just to be sure and without getting a regulator i just have a new standard to try. basically checking and then trying to set this carbie to suit better.i also got new ngk iridium plugs to try.also the centrefigural spring and bush kit for distributer'' going by holley tech its our distributer or ignition. i think its the bush is to small and im getting not enough advane. its going to be a long day or two days trial and error and road testing to get it better set up. its a 280h magnum flat tappet cam with that been advanced im also going to set it back i got the cam card is it called and everything from manufacturer.dave
dragr33 I'm glad to hear your making some head-way. I know it's so hard to undo what someonelse has done. Because your really going at it blind. (I have been there). If you have a way to check the Fuel Pressure 8-PSI maybe a little high if the carb has a stock needle and seat. 6-PSI should be Okay for a street engine. If your plugs are sooty when you check them. I would start there,lowering the fuel pressure or finding a Viton needle and seat for the carb.It's Okay that you don't have another carb to try. We can work getting yours back to where it should be. The NGKs are good plugs. I ran NGK's and Autolite's in my race engines. AC Delco makes a good Spark Plug too. The NGK's you have now, are they extended tip or a retracted tip? I would set the spark plug gap to .032-.035 for now. You want to get the engine to run. Then you can start tuning it to get the power it should have. Keep me posted, and we can get it to run better. One thing at a time. Then we can tune it! Bob
yes im pretty new to it, especially the very technical side of things' advance curves, power valves etc. The time i spent not doing it i was on the internet finding out as much as i could, i think 14 housr 1 day. Ive owned a few fast 8's when younger but i worked in a sevice station with the interorgator machine & just use to put my car on it. Since ive owned turbo cars ive brought and just payed for all the good stuff so to say.. Im really into the mopar seen now and have a 68 vip and a 68 regal both with a 318. But yes having it all back to a stock setting is hard having the airgap and holley and msd on it. i do have a new stock fuel pump but couldnt get a gasket today for it so left it for now. ive herd the holley hi volume can be from 6.5 to 8 psi and the carbie i got is good for just 7 psi. it might still be a prob but il get gasket asap.i started today by taking few things off front of engine, fan belts etc so as to see the timing marks. I highlighted the marks with liquid paper and ran engine and took not were it was at different revs. I then started playing with bushes and springs and took note again. At the end of the day the blue bush with two heavy springs with distributer set at 12 degrees b4 top and straight away you could hear the difference it even had a really nice note from exhaust and no more rich smelling grey black smoke. during that time i used a boost guage from my skyline that has vacum on it and set the primary mixtures getting 15 inches of vacume. also the kickdown lever was moving to early puting trans into i think over drive i also fixed that problem. i know now i need a 6.5 size power valve which il buy and install. im not sure what size in it now but i will see when get it and gaskets so left inside of carburettor alone today. with the plugs i got or i had ordered them were iridium bp5ix when went to buy they were $180 so i put deposit thinking i dont want to use them yet and kill them so i got ngk bp5es for the tune. I think il drive it for a bit and see how it goes. if it stops failing plugs il put the good ngk plugs in & see how they go. But havnt got hopes up yet its good it seems to be but i know my luck. il let you know how its going again soon. thank you very much for the help its been really good to be able to speak to somone with some real proper knowledge cause some of those forums OMG!!!
Dragr33A quick and simple way to figure out what power valve to use is 1/2 your intake manifold vacuum. So for 15" of vacuum you will need a 7.5 power valve. When you get the cam back to a straight up setting the intake vacuum may come up. Thats a good thing. I would not use a good spark plug until you have all the problems taken care of. The nice thing about the paper white it shows up really nice when you put a timing light on it.
Dragr33:Good Luck Bud. Take your engine apart and if you have a service manual thats the best way. If you need more help, I'll be here it may take a little longer.MERRY CHRISTMASBob
Thankx mate & yeh 7.5 thats right half the vacume. As i said ive no hopes up yet its right. The tech for msd,holley,ngk were a great help too!Ive a 660 rambler classic with a rebuilt engine, i tuned it to a tea, i wish this val was as easy!Anyhow merry christams to you to thank you heaps for the help,' im pretty sure il be back again soon tho!!
