The purpose of this research study is to find out whether the heart condition that will result in you having heart surgery is in part caused by the excess production of a hormone, called angiotensin II, that is produce by the cells of your heart and result, among other things, in causing your heart to beat in an irregular manner. We will accomplish this objective by analyzing the condition of a small piece of the heart tissue, called atrial appendage, that will be removed during the planned operation and that is always discarded at the completion of the surgical procedure.

I bet that subject got your attention.
Have any of you ever had flexibility problems with your fiberglass knee armor?
The reason I ask is... you know how when you squat, the circumference of
your lower thigh expands? If you don't know what I mean, wrap a piece of
tape tightly around your leg (just above the knee) and watch it burst when
you squat. Don't try it with your knee armor unless it's sintra.
Anyway, I'm paranoid that my knee armor is going to explode if accidentally
squat or kneel while wearing it. In careful tests, the sides spread out, and I
just know they'd snap if I went down all the way. Have any of you had this
problem? If so, what did you do to accommodate it? Have any of you ever
had your knee armor explode because of this? Sounds funny, but I'm totally
serious. :)

Rickie Lee Jones
Jones was born on November 8, 1954, in Chicago, but the volatile relationship between her mother and father resulted in an upbringing that led her everywhere from Phoenix, Arizona, to Olympia, Washington, where an expulsion ended her school career. As a teen, Jones left home and began drifting up and down the West Coast before settling in Los Angeles in the mid-'70s. There she worked a series of waitressing jobs while occasionally performing in area clubs, where she sang and honed her unique, Beat-influenced spoken word monologues. She also began a relationship with fellow boho Tom Waits.
Her first measure of success was as a songwriter; after her friend Ivan Ulz sang Jones' composition "Easy Money" over the phone to Lowell George, the ex-Little Feat frontman included it on his album Thanks I'll Eat It Here. Then in 1978 Jones' four-song demo came to the attention of Warner Bros. executive Lenny Waronker, who enlisted Russ Titleman to co-produce her self-titled 1979 debut LP. Spurred by the success of the jazz-flavored hit single "Chuck E's in Love," Rickie Lee Jones became a smash both commercially and critically, earning praise for Jones' elastic vocals, vivid wordplay, and unique fusion of folk, jazz, and R&B.
With 1981's follow-up, Pirates, she gave early notice that her music would not sit still; employing longer and more complex song structures, her lyrics tackled themes of evolution, change, and death. Two years later, she returned with Girl at Her Volcano, an EP collection of live jazz standards and studio outtakes; with 1984's The Magazine, she made another left turn, teaming with composer James Newton Howard for her slickest, most synth-driven outing to date.
After taking a few years off from recording, she resurfaced with 1989's sterling Flying Cowboys, produced by Steely Dan's Walter Becker and recorded with the aid of the wonderful Scottish trio the Blue Nile. Don Was took over the production reins for 1991's Pop Pop, on which Jones covered ballads ranging in origin from Tin Pan Alley to the Haight-Ashbury while backed by jazz players including Charlie Haden and Joe Henderson. After 1993's Traffic from Paradise, she embarked on an acoustic tour; Naked Songs, a document of those unplugged shows, followed in 1995. Ghostyhead was released in 1997 and the standards record It's Like This appeared three years later.
Jones returned to original material in 2003 with The Evening of My Best Day, an album that expressed her anger and disappointment with contemporary American politics. During the summer of 2005, Rhino released the career-spanning three-CD anthology Duchess of Coolsville. Two years later, Jones released The Sermon on Exposition Boulevard, a stunning collection of songs based on friend Lee Cantelon's 1997 book The Words. Balm in Gilead, another album that found Jones exploring personal and spiritual themes, followed in 2009. In 2012, Jones returned with the Ben Harper-produced covers album Devil You Know. For her next project, Jones chose to protect her unique vision by taking full control of the process; 2015's The Other Side of Desire was financed through an online crowdfunding campaign and released by Jones through her own label, Other Side of Desire Music. ~ Jason Ankeny

13.7 stock?? I heard they in the low 14's and thats the best they can get out of them.
But I dont know, never driven or raced one.
Mazda Speed 3....
Welcome to the site!
Im just saying it has been done..i dont know if i can do it but its deff faster then a stock wrx, anyone can agree on this. I am only talking stock for stock.
PS. the white one has an exhaust, the red one is stock

well isn't the speed 3 faster than the speed 6? I know the 3 might have more horsepower but the wrx has a better 1/4 time.
Also the MS3 and thr MS6 have the same engine other then the detuning for the Speed 3.
The MS6 owners run constant 13-13.9 1/4 mile times. But I actually think that means nothing. Because on the road at 40 MPH the MS6 spools instantly and will pull on a stock WRX by a car lenght right away. Im not saying its impossible for the WRX to run a 13.77, im just saying the MS6 is a faster car and actually in a diff price range ...MSRP at 28k and WRX at 24k
Both great new cars.
I thought I read the 6 was considerably heavier than the 3.

I dont like the 1-2 shift for the MS6.....there is a pause when engaging into 2nd. all the other gears are ok.
I think there could be a recall for MS6's. A buddy of mine that works at a mazda dealer just had some bad cluth engagement into 1st and reverse. Even when i drive those MS6 from time to time it feels like first gear would feel like it would pop back out when i engage. Plus the clutch pedal feel sucks on that car.

Fox Nation Reinforces Fox's Hypocrisy On Protests
In accordance with Fox News' apparent policy of demonizing protests that target Republicans instead of Democrats, Fox Nation tonight called pro-union protesters "rabid leftists" and "frothing radicals."
Earlier today, Media Matters noted [1] that Fox News, which in the past relentlessly promoted and encouraged the health care town hall protests that targeted Democrats, has now adopted the stance that citizens who protest at town hall meetings are a "mob" and not "civil," simply because Republicans are now the targets of ire.
The following descriptions of pro-union protesters were posted to the Fox Nation website [2] and Twitter account [3]:

I know I'm going to sound like a noob but whatever...car in question is a 2008.5 Jetta Wolfsburg Edition. (TSI, not FSI) I dont ever beat on the car...but when getting on the highway or under any hard acceleration, it sounds like there is a squealing noise coming from the turbo or maybe a belt.
It makes the sound when accelerating from about 2k to 3k, On cold starts, and even when backing up. Any opinions would be greatly appreciated

Pakistan's prime minister made clear to the United States, his nation would not tolerate any further incursions into its territory by units of the American armed forces. He strongly supported the recent statement by General Ashfaq Parvez Kayani, head of Pakistan's armed forces, who said unilateral actions by the Americans risked undermining efforts to deal with terrorism. "Falling for short-term gains while ignoring our long-term interest is not the right way forward," he said on Wednesday. The Pakistan military leader was concerned Pakistanis would regard US attacks on their territory as a license to do as they wish. If the average Pakistani comes to believe its own army is incapable of defending their territory against foreign attack it fuels the desire to side with militants.
On one hand, the United States is upset at failure on the part of Pakistan to control insurgents who openly reside in their nation. On the other side, Pakistanis are furious at US air strikes which have killed dozens of civilians. Meanwhile, in the reality that is Pakistan, the bodies of two men were found who were among 25 police recruits kidnapped by insurgents. In the tribal region of Bajur, the bodies of three bullet ridden men were found who supposedly cooperated with government forces. On the bodies were a note: "this is the result of working against the Taliban and cooperating with the army instead of joining the jihad."

The second ever Animal Art Fair opens at London's Fulham Palace this weekend, bringing a vast collection of paintings and drawings of pets and wildlife under the same roof.
Having attracted over 3,000 visitors and raised more than £45,000 for charity at its debut last year, Animal Art Fair founders Jamie Polk and Barnaby Parker claim its 2011 incarnation is the "best-ever selection of animal art" yet.
Visitors can purchase affordable and investment pieces directly from the artists who produced them without galleries or dealers' involvement. Last year £500,000 worth of art was sold.
This year's primary beneficiary of the charitable fundraising the fair entails will be Tusk, a conservation and community development organisation which protects wildlife across Africa.

Criminal Justice Training Assessment Overview
About Criminal Justice Training Assessment
In April 2002, Excelsior College submitted a grant application to the United States Department of Justice requesting funds for the "Evaluation of Law Enforcement Training for Academic Credit Project." The grant request was approved in July 2002 and Criminal Justice Training Assessment was created.
The Goals of Criminal Justice Training Assessment

For many years the CJTA service has offered a Credit Bank transcript service for $50 to those individuals who completed CJTA-assessed training programs. On Monday, June 1st, 2009 this reduced-fee service ended, as was indicated in a previous communication to all participating agencies.
After the aforementioned date, anyone wishing to have their CJTA-assessed training placed onto an Excelsior Credit Bank transcript will have to complete the traditional process by submitting a OneTranscript® application and paying the appropriate Credit Bank fee of $270.00. Overall, this is still a very economical way to accrue 16+ college credits towards a degree or simply to transcript them.

Tuesday 4th October 2011
From a neutral point of view, nobody can argue that we didn't deserve to take something from Sunday's game. We have been going long enough to realise, however, that it's goals that count and consequently you don't always go home with what your performance merited.
Walking up Tottenham's High Road pre-match felt a bit odd this time round. Not just because of the uncharacteristic blistering heat but also for most of us it would have been the first time we have been there since the problems back in August. A number of recognisable landmarks are now not there or have visible scars, quite a sobering reminder of the troubles.
Once in the away end however, the enormity of a North London derby hit home with all the feelings and emotion that goes with it.
For much of the game I felt we had the upper hand but the fact still remains we conceded two goals. Gerv, Theo, RVP and Rambo all enjoyed first-half opportunities so to go in at half time behind was disappointing to say the least. Spurs' scorer looked like he handled the ball, TV replays have proved that, but in those situations sometimes they go for you, sometimes they don't. I get more frustrated at incidents where the officials have a perfectly good view and get it wrong. They are human and if they had seen it as we have on the replays, I'm sure it would have been disallowed.
For the first 20 minutes or so of the second period, we absolutely battered them, our one goal and the ensuing jostle being the least we deserved. It was at that time however, that we didn't quite press home our considerable domination.
As both teams tired in the latter stages it was going to take a mistake or a wonder strike to grab the winner. It came with probably an element of both but unfortunately at the wrong end for us Gooners.
Despite a late flurry in and around our opponents' box it wasn't to be and we came away with nothing.
Another disappointing away day of course but I cannot say I was disappointed with our effort, desire and overall performance on the day. Conceding goals continues to be our problem but we are all aware that the players are trying to eradicate that from our game.
That will prove a little more difficult of course, having lost Bac to injury. One of our best, most consistent and experienced performers, he will be missed and Jenks will have a tough job to fill his boots, a challenge I am sure he is relishing.
Before we go into the international break I thought I would give my slant on the 'chanting' issue that has come to the forefront of British football.
I genuinely am not going to single out any songs, clubs or players in particular but I do believe we have to be very careful as to what comes under the banner of 'tongue in cheek' football humour, be it aimed at others or indeed in support of our own.
We as fans are as responsible as anyone in deciding what is just 'funny' and what steps over the line but before there is a knee-jerk reaction to the current media coverage around the country, I would hope detailed discussions take place first as to what is wrong and what is right, involving the authorities, fans and the general public.
Enjoy the two week 'break'.

FAIRFIELD, Conn. — Sacred Heart men's lacrosse head coach Jon Basti released the 2014 schedule on Monday. The Pioneers will play seven home games at Campus Field this upcoming spring, beginning on Saturday, Feb. 15 against Binghamton.
"We're excited to get the season going," said Basti, who is entering his first season at the helm of the Sacred Heart men's lacrosse program. "We have a very exciting schedule with a lot of good competition. Our conference is getting more competitive which makes those games even more crucial."
Sacred Heart will play three of its first four games at home to open 2014. After Binghamton, the Pioneers will host High Point on Feb. 22 in the first meeting between the two programs. On March 1, Sacred Heart will travel to Dallas, Texas to take on Dartmouth in the Patriot Cup at SMU's Ford Stadium. The Patriot Cup is a two-day lacrosse event in Dallas that benefits the Wounded Warrior Project. After facing the Big Green, Sacred Heart returns home on March 8 to host Providence.
The Pioneers open a three-game stretch against America East opponents on Tuesday, March 11 with a 7 p.m. game at Stony Brook. The following Saturday, Hartford comes to Campus Field for a 1 p.m. showdown. On March 22, Sacred Heart will travel to Vermont. The Pioneers open Northeast Conference play on Saturday, March 29 at Robert Morris. Sacred Heart beat the Colonials 14-13 last season, a win that insured the Pioneers' first berth in the NEC Tournament. On Wednesday, April 2 Sacred Heart hosts defending NEC champions Bryant for a 7 p.m. game at Campus Field. Bryant defeated Sacred Heart in the NEC tournament last season on its way to the NEC title.
After hosting Bryant, Sacred Heart goes on the road for three straight games. The trip begins on April 5 at new NEC men's lacrosse member Hobart, followed by a 7 p.m. game on April 9 at Holy Cross.

The Canisius College men's and women's swimming and diving teams each occupy third place following day one of the MAAC Swimming and Diving Championships on Thursday evening at the Burt Flickinger Center in Buffalo, N.Y. At the conclusion of the opening day, the Canisius men scored 151.5 points and the women tallied 135 points.
The host Golden Griffins combined to break five school records, including four on the women's side. The Griff women established new program marks in both the 200-yard freestyle and 400-yard medley relay teams, and in a pair of individual races.
En route to a fifth-place finish (2:08.46) in the 200-yard IM, freshman Clare Battaglia broke her own record in the A-finals. Earlier in the day during the preliminaries, the freshman broke her previous record (2:09.72).
Sophomore Kelli Graber became the second Griff to break her own school record, as the sophomore finished ninth overall in the 50-yard freestyle with a time of 24.52.
The 200-yard freestyle team of Graber, sophomores Marissa Oakey and Erika Tozser, and freshman Alex Doody set the school mark in a fourth-place finish (1:37.66). Oakey and Doody would join Battaglia and junior Anna Schena to break the school record in the 200-yard medley relay team with a seventh-place finish (3:59.96).
In the A-finals of the 500-yard freestyle, Oakey swam to a fifth-place finish (5:04.00) with Doody placing eighth overall (5:05.85).
On the men's side, the Griffs were involved in one of the closest races of the evening as freshman Spencer Bray set the school record in the 500-yard freestyle with a time of 4:32.32. Facing three-time MAAC champion Brennan Morris of Loyola, Bray swam stride-for-stride with the reigning champion. In the end, Morris edged out Bray for the individual crown by just over two seconds.
The Griffs made their presence known in the 500-yard freestyle race, occupying three of the eight spots in the championship final. Besides Bray's runner-up performance, sophomore Sean Wurster finished fifth (4:38.17) with a career best to move into third on the Griffs' all-time career list, while junior Corey Petrie came in eighth (4:41.76).
In relay action, the 200-yard freestyle team of seniors Tyler Carver and Mike Disco, and sophomores Sean Stegemoller and Nick Sereday placed sixth overall (1:25.09). Sereday and Carver partnered with seniors Shawn Parkhurst and Matt Moessinger in the 400-yard medley relay to end the night with a third-place performance (3:23.63).
Carver and Disco each set personal bests in the B-finals of the 200-yard IM, as Carver finished tenth overall (1:55.12) and Disco 12th (1:56.23). Sereday and Stegemoller would also set personal bests in the B-finals of the 50-yard freestyle to move into the top-five in the all-time career list. Sereday's ninth-place finish of 21.36 moved him into second, while Stegemoller slid into fourth all-time in his 13th-place performance of 21.56.
In women's diving action, freshman Audrey Mulhisen and senior Alexa Gigliotti each earned a spot in the A-finals of the 1-meter event. Mulhisen finished fifth overall (204.75 points) and Gigliotti scored an eighth-place finish (173.76 points).
On the men's side, sophomore Eddie Quarantillo recorded a fifth-place finish (240.70 points) in the 3-meter event. Quarantillo entered the finals session as the Griffs' lone top-seed in any event.
The Blue and Gold return to the Burt Flickinger Center on Friday, Feb. 15 for day two of the MAAC Swimming and Diving Championships with preliminaries beginning at 10 a.m.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
"What's a good product to use on removing silicone?"
Elbow grease.
What is called "mechanical abrasion", scrape, chisel, or sand it away. There's an aerosol paint stripper called KleanStrip that will loosen most of it, but that's extremely strong stuff, read and follow the warnings if you use it.
"Next I plan on picking up some prep stuff to remove the silicone (as mentioned earlier) " There's a big difference between silicone rubber, and the silicone POLISHES that the prep compounds will remove. They remove waxes and polishes, they will not remove silicon sealer.
Real gel coat only hardens in the absence of oxygen, which is why it is normally sprayed inside a highly polished female mold and then covered with the other FRP materials. If you want to apply it over a male mold (the canoe) you'll need to cover with with something else like a PVA spray or it won't cure properly. Gel coat is also sensitive to thickness and the odds are it will CRACK badly as the canoe hull flexes under it. I've never heard of it being used on canoes.
"After the fiberglass is in there I'll attempt to feather it out and blend it to as level as possible without comprimising strength.
Does that sound like a good process/approach or am I missing something?"
What you're missing is that unless you follow the steps from an experienced materials supplier, you're going to have a very expensive mess on your hands. There's usually a reason for every material and process they suggest, and you can't just substitute for them. Fiberglass work is very much a matter of experience and patience, if you haven't worked with the materials and you take shortcuts, the result is going to be poor at best. West System aren't the only folks in the business, but they are a good place to start, they document the entire process and you can download most of it online FREE.
The paints do require the proper primer, otherwise the paint won't stick to the fiberglass. They will cure to a mirror finish(without buffing/polishing) if properly prepared and applied. The finish depends greatly on the quality of the prep work. In fact, the paint finish can be soo shiny that it shows any flaws in your repair work and fairing.
Getting rid of any residual silicone is paramount. You need some nasty solvents, and multiple wipe downs to be sure its gone. This can also be an issue on boats that have had their gelcoat "restored" with silicone based products such as "penetrol".
For the canoe the water permeability is really a non issue. If the next project is trailerable, you could say the same. In any event, as noted above epoxy coatings are used as barriers in place of gel coat when blistered hulls are repaired.
Many of the better boat builders these days don't gelcoat their hulls, but choose to paint instead.
There is no structural strength in gelcoat or paint, but the 2 part paints will withstand more punishment than anything else.
|I suppose I should have clarified *L* I was told that fiberglass if left untreated (I.E. no gel coat, paint etc,) will absorb some water because it's porous... no leak per-say but absorb water and deteriorate more quickly... Which would be stronger the gel coat or the paint?
Epoxy-based paints are often used as osmosis barrier coats on sailboats, so an epoxy-based paint should provide relatively good protection to the fiberglass from water intrusion.
As to whether it will prevent your fiberglass repair from leaking...not necessarily. If you've botched the repair, no amount of paint will make it water tight.
|that's amazing... I wasn't even aware of this paint stuff before... from what I'm seeing it does require a primer coat correct? does it require buffing and sanding/waxing after it's been painted?
I'd still HIGHLY recommend you hone your painting skills on the canoe, and paint your next project as well. The long term results, especially if you use premium paint, (and proper primers) will outshine and outlast any after-the-fact gelcoat project. These days gelcoat just isn't done anymore. There's a better way to go.
Way less work and way better results.. for sure.
|experiment is right *L* I'm going to re-do the gelcoat on an old twin hull fiberglass boat next that's why I'm thinking of doing the gelcoat here... I know it will be a lot of work putting it on then applying the plastic like layer then wetsanding it for hours but this is my experiment/practice run... not to mention time really isn't an issue for me since it's just an excuse for me to stay out of trouble *L*
The poly paint will provide a decent barrier coat, but that really isn't the issue with a boat that is not always in the water anyway.
You can apply gel coat, but it will not cure to a nice finish like the paints will. So it's much more labor intensive to get a decent finish, and it is fibreglass resin, primarily, and is not impermeable to water. (again, not a huge issue on a canoe that is out of the water more than in it.) Fiberglass is permeable to water at a microscopic level, it's not going to "leak" without paint unless the repairs are faulty.
One part poly paint will likely do a decent job for you but will not withstand abuse, bumps and scrapes as well as the two-parts will. They are a lot less expensive, though, and may serve your purpose.
I would think that one part poly would be no more money than gelcoat.
|Gary M
Being a canoe I assume it will not be in the water all the time so gel coat is water proof enough. Gel coat after many years will admit some moisture which can develope into a problem for say a keel boat but not a canoe.
You will have trouble gettign a nice finish painting gel coat on. It would have to be sanded and buffed way more that it is worth. A pint of single epoxy paint would be about $30 and would come out nice and shiny.
Most epoxy paints are for use above the water line, but again if it is only going to be submerged for short periods that is probably OK. This is a learning experiment right?
just to make sure I'm reading everything correctly the epoxy paint will provide the waterproofing layer correct? so when I put it on it will seal in my fiberglass so It doesn't leak at all? The reason I ask is because someone told me that bare fiberglass is not waterproof....is that true?
Also, that paint seems quite a bit more expensive than gelcoat so why would I go the more expensive route? Basically, what do I gain by going with the paint vs. gelcoating?

Do not cancel
Do not cancel it. That is why they make all the rules is to try to make it a pain and scare people away from doing things like this. Then they can shut the trails and such down because nobody uses them anymore. I understand some rules are needed but it is pitiful when you have to drive hours to do any off roading at all. If you have the insurance thing covered I would go ahead and do it by the books just to prove that they are not going to stop people from using the state land that they deserve to use.

I am not going on the trail ride but I think it is bogus that Officer Russell isn't willing to explain to all of us what the law states.
If you are reading Officer Russell, please post link or state the specific law that requires the permit.
BTW, LIV2MX, Do you know how many people were planning on attending? Do not post the exact amount but if it works out, you should charge $10 for the camping, and maybe $5 per person to cover the [gay]permit[/gay].
That is unless you decide to cancel.
But as I said, I was not planning on going to take my suggestion as you will.
Peace out.

I would have no problem with a DNR, US Forrestry Officer, Longarm, or any other person who upholds the law being on the site. But post information. Don't just read and PM somebody saying "You are going to get fined if you do that."

I contacted this ranger, and He, had already contacted a member of GLFWDA for his area, It sounds like he wants to work with us, but there are rules he has to follow by the time line of the Poker Run.
If the GLFWDA member would like to step in, I will let him comment..........I was not privey to his conversation, so I don't want to start any hear say.
I will state, that the officer does want to work this out, and keep his district Properly maintained.
Arron Pm me your phone number, and I can talk to you more about it.

It is not, the amount of vehicles/people, as much as the fact that there are trails being marked in the forest, and mostly Money being exchanged. This by law constitutes an "Event". That is why there is an issue.

there is no trails being marked and there is no money except for the camping. i have stated in the thread many times that this is free. only charge is to the owner of river city for camping. i also said we are doing groups so no one will get lost and we will not need to mark anything.

As a government employee, the Forest Service's whole way of going about this really rubs me the wrong way. They exist to protect the parks while at the same time allowing people to recreate in and enjoy them, and it seems like they're going to such an extreme to do the first that they won't allow the second to occur.
I can't stand Wal-Mart, but that doesn't give me the right to slow up the planning process or give them grief when I receive an application for development. And I certainly wouldn't be doing any of that behind closed doors.

I have put on events in the USFS Mio Ranger District and the Cadillac Ranger district a few years back, '86-'87. Some of you may have heard of them, they were called 'The Jeep Cup'. These two events sound like they would be very similiar, a poker run and a TSD Rally. I don't have any paperwork left from the events but here are the basic rules we had to follow and the rationale for them:
One think to remember here is that this is Federal and it is DIFFERENT than the State DNR requirements, however some things are the same, i.e. Insurance and 90 application requirement.
1. The participants are using public resources 'over and above' what would be considered normal. This is why a 'Fee' is being charged. Much like using a Pavallion at your local community park. You might have payed taxes to build the facility but assembling a larg group is outside the normal anticipated use.
The State DNR has 20 vehicle or 20 person criteria, the USFS appears to have something around 75. This number was never referenced in my event because we had 200+ people there so we were already over the limit.
2. The liability insurance is a 'catch all' so any damage done by the group can be recouped via the insurance.
3.We had a Application Fee which included paperwork and post field inspection.
4. We also used to have a road bond posting of $250-$1000 depending on how much damage the Officer thought was going to be done. GLFWDA ended up loosing the bond both years due to splashing the water out of some low spots in the road.
5. One thing not mentioned yet is the USE fee. The USFS charged us a fee based upon the # or miles used X the $$ charged regardless of what it was for, X # or participants X some factor + $$$$ you owed the USFS for use of the public property outside it's normal use. And an EVENT is outside what is considered normal. If you sat up on one of the forest roads any afternoon, how many vehicles might go bay you in a single afternoon. Less that if you had an event.
I've got way more to add but want to read some more of the posts to help clarify what has been policy with the USFS in the past.

I'm a little confused about this "permit" or "Event Fee" that they are wanting to get. Is this a USFS thing, or a State thing? Something really is fishy here, because on the DNR site IIRC states things VERY different. So now what, now that maybe the "permit" is payed for, there are also other State "permits" to get or something?
Also, I really thing more people need to look into supporting GLFWDA, this is what they are for, and I know are already looking into this for Allen.

Bottom line, you will need the permit. I'm surprised at the number being 75 since the DNR listing is 20 people. I'm not gonna dig for it on my computer but trust me, I can produce it.
This is one of the reasons GLFWDA promotes runs thru it's membership. We already have the insurance. But, everyone attending MUST be a GLFWDA member. This is not our rule, it's the insurance companies.

You are correct- just plug any unneeded ports.
The carb's ported vacuum port is on the side of the metering block. As you know, ported vacuum is not present at idle, it comes on as the primary throttle plates start to open. BTW, the instructions will often say to use ported vacuum for the vacuum advance but in many cases manifold (full time) vacuum works better. You have no need for a vacuum advance port anyway so this is a moot point.
The small vacuum port(s) down on the baseplate will usually be manifold vacuum sources. The larger ports on the baseplate are used for the PCV system (usually the front port) and for the power brake booster vacuum (usually the rear port). The power brakes could use an intake manifold mounted port instead of the carb port.
Hope this helps, but if I've misunderstood you or missed the point, just let me know.

mustang 671 (10-19-2012)
cheers guys .
yep that has put my mind at rest . i will plug all vacum lines and agree i will not use the vacum off the primary metering block as intake vacum is always better .
i am going to get another top pulley to reduce the psi down to 8 and then build up at a latter stage ( if needed ) also my power brakes are off the intake .
i have spoke with the guys at the dyno shop that i am going to see a week wednesday and they stock all the bits in need for the holley .
so this weekend im going to tidy up . gap my plugs ( what do you recommend for my application ? or will stock factory set do ? they are champion )
i am going to stip the carbs down and give them a good clean out and make sure they are flowing correct etc . also i still think i have a fuel leakage . possibly fronm the power valve ? being a 6.5. will this oen and over fuel or would i need to be putting the enginbe under load for it to open ?
it is really lupmy and will not repsond to mix srcew adjustment , i am going to un hook the billet linkage and double check they are not holding open the butterflys just slightly etc .
any things to look for when im cleaning out the carbs ?
cheers guys
The way the PV is supposed to work is it will stay shut until the engine load causes the vacuum to drop to below the PV rating, at which point the PV opens and enrichens the air/fuel mixture to help overcome the load the engine is under.
So, check to see what the vacuum reading below the carb and above the blower is. If this reading is less than the number on the power valve, the power valve will be open and the engine will be overfueled. The engine doesn't need to be under a load for there to be fuel coming in from the power valve. If the vacuum at idle is lower than the power valve rating, there will be excess fuel, for example. This might be part of the reason you have a rough, 'lumpy' idle.
But since the carbs aren't boost referenced, the PVs should be shut- even when you want them open. That is, unless one or both PVs are ruptured from a backfire or old age. Newer Holley carbs have backfire blowout protection for the PV- if it's functioning properly. If not or if the carbs don't have blowout protection for the PV, then they could be damaged allowing fuel in when it isn't needed. If the wrong PV gasket is used, or two gaskets are accidentally used, there can be a fuel leak. Just things to look for when you take them down for cleaning.
If the initial ignition advance is too low, that will also account for a poor quality idle, and can cause the primary butterflies to be open too far. If the butterflies are open too far the engine will be pulling fuel in from the transition slot of the carb instead of running mainly on the idle circuit. If the timing is advanced at idle and the carb curb idle screw is backed out to close the primary butterflies, the idle mixture screws should become functional.
Sometimes the secondary butterflies need to be cracked open farther than "normal" to add bypass air to get the idle back to normal. Sometimes you even see where the primary throttle blades have been drilled w/small holes in them to add bypass air, although this is seldom really needed if the other methods (secondary bypass air and increasing the timing at idle) are used.
Something else to look for when you first pull the carbs is to see what the transition slot looks like. It should be between a "square" and a slot about 0.040" long. If this is too long, that's when the engine will be trying to idle on the transition circuit instead if the idle circuit. Photo below shows what I'm referring to.
If the carbs aren't boost referenced, I wouldn't want to run it on the dyno. The dyno loads the engine heavily, and w/o the PV adding fuel it can go lean. You have to be sure that the PV's were working when the blower is making boost and the vacuum drops.
This is a concern to me because of the small carbs. If you had a pair of 750 cfm carbs you might not need boost referencing at low boost levels- but this would need to be verified before loading the engine.
A 65 PV might open later than you need. It wouldn't surprise me for you to end up w/an 85, as an example.
I forgot to mention that if you had to dyno the engine w/o boost referencing the carbs, you can remove the PV and use a plug made to block the PV off. Jet the carb up about 7-8 jet sizes to compensate for not having the PV installed. This will work on a race-only engine or for a wide open dyno pull. On the street it will not work because the air/fuel ratio will be too rich much of the time.
thanks for all your comments.
i have had a great day - took cobalts advise and when i stripped the carbs down the primary throttle plates where open more than the diagram you showed ( in the link ) so i reduce it to where it showed, also i turned the scre in on the base of the carb to open the secoundary plates just so slightly to allow a bit of air flow. i replaced the base gaskets (carb to supercharger ) and replace the pv with the new ones i had - although still being 6.5 ,
the dyno shop are going to measure the vacum first and and try to get it nearer ( if needed ) i also gave the carbs a through clean and blow out , seems to have sorted it as its now idling at 1135 rpm . still lumpy bit is as smotth as i could get due to the high lift cam - i didnt run it for long - prob a couple of minutes . as i dont want to wreck anything - i want the dyne shope to use their lambda sensors and heat sensors etc to see what mix im getting .
i had a few silly problems which wasnt helping - end of sprak plug lead was exposed and shorting onto the exhaust headers .
ok the specs on my carbs are .
- on the top of the carb horn - 1850-5 0209
i have converted them to have sec metering blocks although i cant fit in the rear of the front one due to them being back to back.
primary jets - 70
sec jets - 78
shooters .25
R107 booster
.65 pv ( for now )
both carbs have a orangey brown cam for the acc pump shot
i have a pair of each jets from 70 to 80 .
regarding the ecu not being needed - thats really up to personal prefernece, clearly as long as there is a spark then it will run. however when i go fuel inj the ecu will come into its own. also i can run some much more off of it. electric fans. rev limiter , wide band lambda sensors , water meth , launch control , and i can monitor any faults and the ecu will log these for fine tuning, which is a huge difference with that and a dizzy run engine. i dont want to be some where between by timing light a turening the dizzy a degree or so. with the ecu it can be exact , not a tiny bit out , thats the beauty of the ecu.
t bird , i know you keep referring to a ecu . not sure if you understand exactly it is i have. its not something i have pulled from a efi engine , i cant turn this off. i dont have a dizzy anymore due to the height of my supercharger. it wont fit - i have a dummy dizzy to run the oil pump . i particulay wanted this system due to its huge amounts of options and parameters.
its hard to explain te difference. ( i am sure you know the concept of a ecu ) but i have something that xrays the engine and reports the findings and a dizzy is like a blind massager who relies on hear and feeling, all you can do with a dizzy is stobe to time , pull plugs , and adjust approx. ( i know you can get close ) with the ecu i have a 100% safety net. once set uo this will not allow the engine to break. it will just shut off and repost a error. its what i want after spenging £10k plus on the enigne.
so if you state timing figures can you please be exact - ie. locking timing out , what does that mean ? i cant do that .
i will take a pic of my ignition chart which i can do what i want with and then i think you will be clearer.
thanks for all your help guys. nice to finally hear it idle a a sensible rpm
below is my ign table. i can put in what figures i want
below if a 3d table of the above graph . i can pull this about to change the table above.
below is my main start and run chart whchi i view what the engine is doing, i can also add other section when i need them like lambda sansors. fuel inj etc.
below is a line chart of the first 2x ign charts. again i can pull this about to change the ign curve etc
lastly a short video of it diling at 1135 rpm. ( dont worry about the smoke - its old oil on the exhaust wraps that i spilt just burning off ) i paniked and turned the engine off. all ok
what your thoughts on exhaust header wraps ? always get mixed opinions on them. if you speak with exhaust guys they like them because they flow the wate gas better ? but others say not good as they kill headers ?
cheers shaun
Have you used a vacuum gauge to take a reading at the base of the carb yet? You could use one of the manifold vacuum ports for this if you wanted. I'm just curious- but this can wait until the guys at the dyno shop get tuning on it.
As you know the 1850-5 Holley was originally a 4160 and it had a secondary plate instead of a block until you converted it to a 4150-type set up. For reference, the original 134-9 secondary plate your carbs came with had a secondary orifice equivalent to a #64 jet. So if you are now using a 78 secondary jet, this should be plenty- it would prolly be enough even w/o the power valve. If you added the power valve to it, you'd have the equivalent of about an 85 jet in the secondaries!
Also for reference, here's a Holley numerical listing showing the factory specs, etc. And here's a chart showing the relationship between plates and jets.
Header wraps are OK, if you were to use stainless steel headers, the wrap wouldn't cause rust. If you use mild steel I'd prefer ceramic coating inside and out. But anything that'll keep the underhood temps down and the exhaust gas hot inside the header (and the gas velocity up) will be a good thing, overall.
I haven't read the vacum pressure yet , will do next weekend , I have called off the dyno shop for another week so I can get cleaned up , will let you know what it is , thanks a lot for your help , the other thing is even though I have cleaned the carbs out the new needle valves let by every now and then , with a tap on the adjutment nut it stops it , my regulator is set for 6 psi , so you think I should drop it ? If so what to ? ,
I also was pumping too much fuel in , it was spitting out and blowing unburnt fuel back , so I closed the choke half way and left it for 30 mins , then just cranked with not touching the pedal and it started staright away , but it does like the choke off , I presume these blown motors like a lot of air flow ,
Its all new to me
You probably won't need to use a choke. Cold, two or three pumps, foot off the pedal and crank. Hot, no pumps, foot off the pedal, and crank.
today i visited a friend who is building a ex formula 1 engine for a swiss client that was run at moanco and lemand this year. he also had a v12 aston martin engine on the bench for a rebuild. and numerous methanol tunning engines to service for next season. he also backed up all of yours and others timing figures.
if you can give me some exact figures like others are trying to do that would be most appreciated. as i said before i will not run this until its set up correctly and something the ecu will not allow and will turn off ,
the below is a rough guide as each engine will require what it wants
i have been told to crank from 0 to 450 rpm ( start up programme ) @ 10d then 10d to 20d up to 1000 rpm being the start of my ign curve- then a sharp curve from 1000rpm to 1500rpm @ around 28d then from 28d @ 1500 rpm to 2000rpm at 32 d then a flat curve ( which you refer to as locked out ? ) the reason why i am reading tps first is so when the boost builds we can dial in the boost paramter reading to scale down the ign to compinsate for the given amount of boost we have , also sometimes engines will be under boost but no throttle ( load ) how does a engine ign deal with that ? so thats why the tps is read first then backed up by the boost guage under the blower.
this all may change but its how its running now.
cheers shaun
also just to confirm i cannot use a distributer , i dont have the room so i cant stick one in,
i also have a ranges of jets from 70 to 80 ,they have all pv sizes ,
will get another set of plugs aswell .
hi guys.
i spoke with the ecu guys today @ omex and also spoke to the dyno guys.
they are going to change the way the ecu reads first. so instead of the "tps" sensor it will read from the "map" sensor and also they can set the ecu to change as the map sensor reads boost ,
i am going to set my timing up from what you have advised and run it on sunday and let you know how i get on, i am so busy with work so i dont expect i will get to the dyno shop next week. i think it will be the week after.
thanks for the carb advise. that helps with the sec plate as i would like to be able to jet it like a metering plate .
will do a vac test this weekend from under the carb and above the blower and let you know.
so from what you have all said it seems blown motors like mine rarely used chokes . so the choke flabs are to be fixed open always ?
i can get 98 octane fuel
when do you recoomend to get my water meth inj up and running ? its injected in the inlet manifold ( t bird ) will this still be beneficial for the blower heat ? understand it will help reduce detonation , its set to come in from 4psi and spray more water meth mix as the bost builds .
also i have a spring load toggle switch which over rides the system and allows me to pump as much water meth i want into the inlet - when would be a good time to use this ? i thought if i was going to do a santa pod run ? or when i am in traffic and the weather temp is hot hot ?
ok so 2-3 pumps of throttle ( cold ) and catch it and hold @ 2000 until it warms up. start up with 36 d btdc and its seems to want a pretty much flat timing curve with the ecu retarding the ign when boost comes in using t buirds figures for the amount of boost it shows.
any other advise on what figures to put into my ign table ? so ie @ 800 rpm and engine load 0 it will be around 36d btdc, but what about 800 rpm and engine load taken from tps sensors @ 50 % load and then @ 100% load. and etc etc for the rest of the rev range and rpm figures.,
i know it seems crazy to think that at 1000 odd rpm the engine load will be 100% but for that split secound when i floor it - it will probably be that
Just a couple thoughts...
If you have an automatic transmission w/a torque converter, the stall speed will see to it that you won't be fully loaded when you floor it from 1000 rpm.
Remember its boost that you're concerned with. Boost will build quickly when the engine is loaded- but not instantaneously. While boost is non existent or still very low, the timing can be higher. You want this so the engine can spool up using the right amount of ignition lead until boost sets in, then the timing is taken away as boost increases.
It's better IMO to have a tunable secondary block than using a 4160 secondary plate drilled to accept jets. The link is just one such example.
4150 style carbs can be mounted sideways to clear the rear bowls. Takes a different mount and linkage obviously. Enderle linkage shown on member Blown Camaro's photo below:

The Barry Robson era did not turn out to be what the Vancouver Whitecaps had envisioned when announcing his signing last February. Follow GOAL.COM on Twitter
The Whitecaps and the Scottish international and Designated Player parted ways Monday, putting an end to an underwhelming time in MLS for the former Middlesbrough and Celtic player. The 34-year-old Robson tallied three goals and two assists after joining the club during the summer transfer period, and he will not return for a first full season in the league.
"Unfortunately Barry and his family never fully settled in Vancouver, and we've mutually decided to move in different directions," Whitecaps president Bob Lenarduzzi said in a team statement.
The move opens up a Designated Player spot on on the Whitecaps' roster and also clears a significant amount of cap space. Because Robson joined the club midseason, he only accounted for $175,000 of the team's salary cap, but had he been with the club for the full 2013 season, he would have taken up $350,000, per league roster rules.
Robson's most notable appearances included a stretch of two games in July in which he scored in a 2-2 draw against eventual MLS Cup champion Los Angeles and again in a 2-1 win over eventual Supporters' Shield winner San Jose. He also tallied a goal and an assist in a 4-0 rout of Chivas USA on Oct. 3.

"Just moved to a new city and wanted calling cards to share new information. Also added a list of my 12 favorite books to the back of the card being a bibliophile and often meeting with other book lovers. Lots of compliments on these sweet and fun cards!"
"I've just reordered these for the 4th or 5th time. They are so great-looking: chic, sharp, elegant and with just the right degree of moxie. I always receive compliments on them, and the paper quality is great. I also really liked being able to personalize the back (I added the fleur-de-lis). I will keep ordering these!"
"I saw this design a few years ago and tweeked for my own use. I have and continue to receive complements and positive comments on the card used as my business card for interior and exterior design."
"The business cards which I ordered turned out absolutely gorgeous! Far better quality than cards I have ordered from other well known office supply stores. I personalized my card with a picture which I took myself and was able to create my own text front and back which I was not able to do at the other store. The quality of the paper and printing were great. I am very pleased with my cards and will order form you again."
"i used these cards to let friends know that we had moved - i inserted them in our Christmas cards. I put a picture of me and my husband with the "sold" sign on the back and it was so cute!! got a lot of compliments!"

Re: "I get a car!" - Joe Flacco
I don't know what you guys are talking about. Joe Flacco is as white collar as it gets. He's a surgeon out there. He's also a cold-blooded assassin, white-collar criminal.
Re: "I get a car!" - Joe Flacco
He knows he's getting a contract that will allow him to buy the entire freaking car company-lol.
Kind of silly to still give cars to all these millionaires. The Shack had a car for every day of the week, a
$100,000 car or more. He lived across the street from one of the Beach Boys who said he had guys
washing them all every day.
Joe will too.

Re: "I get a car!" - Joe Flacco
I have two Flacco moments.
1. During the parade, when he arrived to the stadium instead of waiting for the cart to drive him, Joe just said,"I'll walk."
2. When Joe was introduced at the stadium, the players told Joe to say something and he responded "Oh I gotta say something. " It had that Chris Farley affect when in the movie Black Sheep he yelled out "Kill Whitey."
I love Flacco. He's like a blend of The Waterboy, Happy Gilmore and Zohan. I love it.

WATCH: NRA News Special Promotes Sheriff Arpaio's School Defense "Posse"
In his testimony [1] before the Senate Judiciary Committee today, National Rifle Association executive vice president Wayne LaPierre reiterated his organization's position that armed guards are the solution to school violence. Yesterday the NRA's televised news show, Cam & Company, shed light on what the NRA envisions when it calls for [2] armed guards in all schools when it previewed a special on Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio's school defense "posse."
The three-minute preview shows Sheriff Arpaio and a member of his self-styled "posse" discussing the workings [3] of a group of armed volunteers who now patrol public school zones in Maricopa County, Arizona. While the NRA has called for [4] school guards to be "an extraordinary corps of patriotic, trained, qualified citizens," no mention was made in the NRA feature of a March 2012 investigation's finding that a number of "posse" members had violent criminal records [5].
As Arpaio explains in the NRA News segment, "posse" members have "gone through 100 hours of weapons training, plus follow-ups. They buy their own jeeps, airplanes, cars. I swear them in. The only difference is no money, they don't get paid."
The preview also features an interview with "posse" member Jerry Johnson who says, "We're the eyes and ears of the sheriff's department. We're all volunteers. Some are ex-law enforcement, but me I'm retired. And some of us had no experience at all, but we've been trained," and concludes the preview by stating, "We've got so well trained people that you put them in a situation and they're ready to roll."
On March 14, 2012 Phoenix area CBS affiliate KPHO reported [5] on "a number of posse members with arrests for assault, drug possession, domestic violence, sex crimes against children, disorderly conduct, impersonating an officer - and the list goes on." In one incident described by KPHO a "posse" member "threw his girlfriend to the ground and choked her while trying to sexually assault her" and on another occasion a "posse" member held at gunpoint a man who had backed into his car and driven off.
Arpaio has previously drawn criticism for using his "posse" to investigate [6] President Obama's long-form birth certificate, finding it fraudulent, and for promoting what the Justice Department termed [7] "a pervasive culture of discriminatory bias against Latinos."
The NRA preview also takes a hard line against gun violence prevention measures with Sheriff Arpaio stating that, "It is sad [politicians supportive of stronger gun laws] are using us for politics. They are going through the pony show, they talking to everybody, but we know the fix is in."

Need help! Stuck bamboo tea canister
I have a small bamboo tea storage canister that a family member brought back from china. BUT…the lid is stuck on. I know this may sound absurd that I'm asking for help, but it anyone is familiar with these and/or can give advice on how to get the lid off without breaking it, that would be amazing. Follow the link to the picture. Thanks.
I don't have experience with canisters like that, so take this with a grain of salt. But I might try wiggling the lit back and forth, or maybe trying to slip a knife or something thin in the crack between the lid and the canister. Good luck!
Maybe the wood has swollen? Try cooling it in the fridge?
Thank you! I was able to get it open with a razor blade with only a minor chip in the process. My mom said the lid hasn't been open for about 25 years and there was still tea inside from China where she got it!
I'm curious to know if the tea is still drinkable! but it's a beautiful tin. Glad you saved it :)
