dont recognise the helmet per se, I will leave that for you fett-specialists, but
pitbullof13 well known recaster . real name = Chad Hallock.
check out:
1. post #12 here - Star Fortress - 501st CloneTroopers Detachment
2. and here - Recaster Alert On Ebay - 501st CloneTroopers Detachment
3. The Recaster Report: CHAD HALLOCK
seen it this morning . not a bad price for a mold . also thought it might be a recast
What type of helmet has that flare at the bottom of the mandibles? It looks familier

The helmet is not a re-cast. It is mine. The lens was thrown in for a quick picture. Any other questions please contact me on ANY matter there is. As for re-casting please lets get this squared away up front. I dont make stormtrooper armor ( it was all done ina trade for a dog ( pug ).
But it says on ebay that it was made by you. Which is it?
I was saying that the helmet and mould are my design based off the dimensions of the mystery helmet...they have also accused me of recasting armor parts and that is not true...the extra parts that I sold on ebay were from a set of armor that I got in trade for a pug.
Got it. Nice looking mould too.

It says he is an active member of the 501st Dune Sea Garrison. If you have doubts as to his reputation I'm sure you can contact the garrison leadership. Recasting armor is against the rules of the 501st so I'm sure the first person that would be contacted if there was serious evidence of recasting would be the garrison command staff.

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by buddahfan, Dec 19, 2007.
Click on link to see list with comments ESPN Page 2 - Simmons: True value
He's high. Arenas for Billups would increase our ceiling as a team? Cause right now we're 2nd round and out? Yeah, I'm sure we'd go all the way with Arenas and no point guard (is Arenas even playing anymore?).
well maybe he's admitting there is the star policy with the league, and that arenas would get the calls that no piston ever gets.... lol i wouldn't take arenas for half his salary at this point.
I saw that too. I have never agreed with Simmons assessment of the Pistons, but I think he is on the whole an entertaining NBA writer and does have a good knowledge of a lot of players. I am not surprised that AJ is off of the list since his playing time has been limited and his touches on offense more so though I am sure that just about every team in the league would grab him in blink of an eyelid if given the opportunity. He has done nothing to diminish his trade value in the very limited on court time he has been given thus far. It did surprise me a little that Oden is on the list, but I guess that a lot of teams would jump at the chance of obtaining him and his contract despite the fact that because of his physical problems he may wind up making Sam Bowie look like the NBA poster child for a healthy NBA player. LOL
I like Simmons too. But right now he has Celtics fever. The Pistons are in his way and he knows it. He's lashing out by saying that we are 2nd round and out.
Celtics fever. They don't look too intimidating to me. LOL YouTube - Celtic fever
That's his home team. He's biased and he admits it. He's a real fan, so I can't blame him. I saw Mahorn on some sports talk thing the other day and after he inserted the Pistons in the conversation for about the 10th time, one of the other hosts asked him if he was wearing his Pistons boxers.
yeah i think simmons is spot on for a lot of NBA analysis, but is on crack for a lot of others. in an earlier chat he said a sheed/maxiell trade for amare would make sense. it seems like he's trying to throw out deals that would make the pistons worse and increase the chances that his celtics make the finals this year.
That is ESPN for you.
Maybe Simmons is calling us a 2nd round and out because Chauncey finished the last two seasons choking.
The player that has the most trade value is not the best player. Just saw Kobe score his 20,000; definately the best, but any team trading for him is going to give lesser value, a la Garnett. The best players to trade are those that will give more bang for the buck. The most trade valued players are the up and coming whipper snappers that may be overvalued by their potential new owners. Deron Williams, last years Okur, Chris Paul, Arenas Gilbert, ect. My money is on Deron Wiliams as getting the biggest return on assets in an NBA trade this year. Though Utah would never trade him.
Separate names with a comma.

Click for "Microbes After Hours" videos
Click on an image to find out more.
These bacteria look-alikes are living fossils that are providing clues to the earliest forms of life on Earth.
Often dismissed as "germs" that cause illness, bacteria help us do an amazing array of useful things, like make vitamins, break down some types of garbage, and maintain our atmosphere.
From a single-celled yeast to a 3.5-mile-wide mushroom, fungi do everything from helping to bake bread to recycling to decomposing waste.
Plant-like algae produce much of the oxygen we breathe; animal-like protozoa (including the famous amoeba) help maintain the balance of microbial life.
Unable to do much of anything on their own, viruses go into host cells to reproduce, often wreaking havoc and causing disease. Their ability to move genetic information from one cell to another makes them useful for cloning DNA and could provide a way to deliver gene therapy.
Microbial Mergers
Mergers and collaborations on a minute scale paved the way for higher life forms. Today, symbionts (the scientific terms for these mergers) help fertilize plants, construct coral reefs, and help us digest food.
Protists are eukaryotic creatures <you-carry-ah-tick>, meaning their DNA is enclosed in a nucleus inside the cell (unlike bacteria, which are prokaryotic <pro-carry-ah-tick> and have no nucleus to enclose their DNA. They're not plants, animals or fungi, but they act enough like them that scientists believe protists paved the way for the evolution of early plants, animals, and fungi. Protists fall into four general subgroups: unicellular algae, protozoa, slime molds, and water molds.
Most fungi can best be described as grazers, but a few are active hunters.
Hunter fungi prey on tiny protozoa and worm-like creatures called nematodes.
Some produce a sticky substance on their hyphae, which then act like flypaper, trapping passing prey.
A species called Arthrobotrys dactyloides sets snares made out of loops formed by its hyphae. When a nematode comes into contact with the loops, the movement triggers the fungal cells to swell with fluid, constricting the loop like a noose around the hapless nematode. Other hyphae then grow toward the trapped prey, eventually punching through its body where they begin absorbing its fluids.
Many more interesting facts about fungi can be found throughout the Microbe website, so keep clicking and reading.
You can also get a lot of details about fungi and see some cool images at The Microbial World website.
Some fungi are quite useful to us. We've tapped several kinds to make antibiotics to fight bacterial infections. These antibiotics are based on natural compounds the fungi produce to compete against bacteria for nutrients and space. We use Saccharomyces cerevisiae (sack-air-oh-my-seas sair-uh-vis-ee-ay), aka baker's yeast, to make bread rise and to brew beer. Fungi break down dead plants and animals and keep the world tidier. We're exploring ways to use natural fungal enemies of insect pests to get rid of these bugs.
Fungi straddle the realms of microbiology and macrobiology.
They range in size from the single-celled organism we know as yeast to the largest known living organism on Earth — a 3.5-mile-wide mushroom.
Dubbed "the humongous fungus," this honey mushroom (Armillaria ostoyae) covers some 2,200 acres in Oregon's Malheur National Forest.
The only above-ground signs of the humongous fungus are patches of dead trees and the mushrooms that form at the base of infected trees. (See image on left)
It started out 2,400 years ago as a single spore invisible to the naked eye, then grew to gargantuan proportions by intertwining threads of cells called hyphae.
Under a microscope, hyphae look like a tangled mass of threads or tiny plant roots. This tangled mass is called the fungal mycelium, and is the part of the famous honey mushroom that spreads for miles underground.
If mushrooms and other fungi can get so huge, why mention them on a site about microorganisms?
Visible fungi such as mushrooms are multicellular entities, but their cells are closely connected in a way unlike that of other multicellular organisms.
Plant and animal cells are entirely separated from one another by cell walls (in plants) and cell membranes (in
animals). The dividers between fungal cells, however, often have openings that allow proteins, fluids and even nuclei to flow from one cell to another. A few fungal
species have no cell dividers: just a long, continuous cell dotted by multiple nuclei spread throughout.
The zoospores have no cell wall, are uniflagellated, and may swim for 24 hours on endogenous energy reserves. On contact with a suitable surface (e.g., a nematode cuticle), the zoospore encysts by withdrawing its flagellum and surrounding itself with a thick cell wall and then adhering to the surface. The fungi Arthrobotrys oligospora can capture a nematode when it merely touches the outside of its trap.

Few know that many bacteria not only coexist with us all the time, but help us do an amazing array of useful things like make vitamins, break down some garbage, and even maintain our atmosphere.
Bacteria consist of only a single cell, but don't let their small size and seeming simplicity fool you. They're an amazingly complex and fascinating group of creatures. Bacteria have been found that can live in temperatures above the boiling point and in cold that would freeze your blood. They "eat" everything from sugar and starch to sunlight, sulfur and iron. There's even a species of bacteria—Deinococcus radiodurans—that can withstand blasts of radiation 1,000 times greater than would kill a human being.
Bacteria and archaea are the only prokaryotes. All other life forms are Eukaryotes (you-carry-oats), creatures whose cells have nuclei.
(Note: viruses are not considered true cells, so they don't fit into either of these categories.)
Does a bacterium's cell wall, shape, way of moving, and environment really matter?
Yes! The more we know about bacteria, the more we are able to figure out how to make microbes work for us or stop dangerous ones from causing serious harm. And, for those of us who like to ponder more philosophical questions like the origins of the Earth, there may be some clues there as well.
Like dinosaurs, bacteria left behind fossils. The big difference is that it takes a microscope to see them. And they are older.
Bacteria and their microbial cousins the archaea were the earliest forms of life on Earth. And may have played a role in shaping our planet into one that could support the larger life forms we know today by developing photosynthesis.
Cyanobacteria fossils date back more than 3 billion years. These photosynthetic bacteria paved the way for today's algae and plants. Cyanobacteria grow in the water, where they produce much of the oxygen that we breathe. Once considered a form of algae, they are also known as blue-green algae.
Bacteria are among the earliest forms of life that appeared on Earth billions of years ago. Scientists think that they helped shape and change the young planet's environment, eventually creating atmospheric oxygen that enabled other, more complex life forms to develop. Many believe that more complex cells developed as once free-living bacteria took up residence in other cells, eventually becoming the organelles in modern complex cells. The mitochondria (mite-oh-con-dree-uh) that make energy for your body cells is one example of such an organelle.
Archaeans have been found that can live in temperatures above 212°F (100°C). In contrast, no known eukaryotes can survive over 140°F (60°C). Other archaeans have been found in an Antarctic lake with a surface that is permanently frozen.
How do these extremophiles do it? They make a variety of protective molecules and enzymes (en-zimes). For example, some archaeans live in highly acidic environments. If the acid got into the archaeal cells, it would destroy their DNA, so they have to keep it out. But the defensive molecules on their cellular surfaces do come into contact with the acid and are uniquely designed not to break apart in it. Archaeans that live in very salty water are able to keep all the fluid from dissolving out of their cells by producing or pulling in from the outside solutes such as potassium chloride that balance the inside of the cells with the salty water outside. Other enzymes allow other achaeans to tolerate extreme hot or cold.
Not all the archaea are extremophiles. Many live in more ordinary temperatures and conditions. For example, scientists can find archaeans alongside bacteria and algae floating about in the open ocean. Some archaeans even live in your guts.
Archaea can be found in many"extreme environments": highly sulfurous lakes (right); ice (top left); Utah's Great Salt Lake (above middle); and hot geysers like the Lonestar (above middle); and in undersea hydrothermal vents (above right).
In addition to superheated waters, archaea have been found in acid-laden streams around old mines, in frigid Antarctic ice and in the super-salty waters of the Dead Sea. A number of other extreme-living bacterial species also enjoy these conditions, too, such as the community of cyanobacteria and bacteria shown above.
Thermophiles like unusually hot temperatures. A few species have been found to survive even above 110 degrees Celsius (water boils at 100 degrees Celsius).
Psychrophiles like extremely cold temperatures (even down to -10 degrees Celsius).
Archaea that populate extreme environments (along with some of their bacterial cousins) have developed some clever tricks and tools to do so. For example, they produce special enzymes that help keep all the parts of their cells intact even in conditions that would have our human skin falling apart.

David Brock to Fox: Drop Gray as Supreme Court analyst
Research ››› ››› MEDIA MATTERS STAFF
July 1, 2005
Roger Ailes
Chairman and CEO
Fox News Channel
1211 Avenue of the Americas
New York, New York 10036
Dear Mr. Ailes:
I am writing to demand that Fox News Channel remove C. Boyden Gray from his position as a Supreme Court analyst. Gray's involvement as a leading player in the coming Supreme Court nomination battle makes him an inappropriate choice to serve as an analyst for Fox News, and Fox's failure to disclose Gray's conflict of interest to its viewers only compounds the problem.
In its initial coverage of the retirement of Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, Fox News featured extended commentary by Gray, identifying him only as a "Fox Supreme Court Analyst." But this does not fully inform Fox News viewers of Gray's involvement in the Supreme Court fight.
Gray is founder and chairman of the Committee for Justice, a group formed to advance the confirmation of President Bush's judicial nominees. In a May 24 profile of Gray, The Washington Post reported: "Every Monday morning for months, veteran Washington lawyer C. Boyden Gray has plotted strategy via a conference call with the heads of groups that want to ease the confirmation of President Bush's judicial nominees. He has also spent many hours raising millions of dollars for the cause." The Committee for Justice has stated its intention to shape the way the media cover the nomination of a new justice. "Our goal is to not let their analysis or spin become defining, and put them on the defensive," group spokesman Sean Rushton told the Post in a June 29 article.
Given the Committee for Justice's position and its stated intent of influencing the Supreme Court confirmation process and news coverage of the nominee, allowing Gray to appear unidentified as a commentator on the subject makes a mockery of Fox's claim to provide "fair and balanced" news.
In order to rectify this situation, Fox News should immediately cease using C. Boyden Gray as a "Supreme Court Analyst."
Yours truly,
David Brock
President and CEO

The time is finally here. There has been buz about it. I've hinted to it. There's a reason for it. I know I said that V.2 was final. I wish it could have been :lol Sorry guys :o
Remember, all of the cool new stuff, and innovation you see, you saw it here first.
In the last 2 weeks, in between helmets, I decided to update the armor sculpts :wacko There is a pretty big event coming up at the beginning of the year that required my armor to be as good as it can be. More on that will be posted when the time comes, but it's certainly a once in a lifetime thing to be a part of.
A special thanks goes out to our own Spideyfett, Darthmiller, and Evan4218 for their contributions. They were the only members to get as close as they did at Cel 4 to the real AoSW Fett display (without plexi or glass). Darthmiller, as devoted as he is, even went out that day and forked out some serious cash for a beast of a camera to to make it possible to take the pics (Since everyone was caught off guard and didn't know the display was even going to be there) :lol The crew made friends with the Prop Master and were allowed a few more liberties with the display than what's normal. This afforded us new information we've never had before. Although my armor was pretty close, there's always room for improvement. So, based on some great photo's, and measurements, and information, I've updated the armor to reflect these necessary tid bits. Of course I'll leave the final opinion to the community, but in my own opinion (not because I made them), unless screen pieces fall into someone's hands to get copies from, this will be the set that goes on my own suit/display when I start my new one next year.
I planned on doing this update sooner (about the time the FPH was conceived). Actually, the armor was to be first on the revamp list, but I decided to run with the FPH at the last minute. That turned into a 6 month long project :lol This was back in April or May. So here we are. I got it in, under the wire of 2007.
Some have asked in recent weeks about the "Rubber Knees" that I promised a discount to members who purchased V.2 armor. This is still very much my intent. The delay in bringing those to life, was only because they needed to be updated .. in the following pics, those will be painfully obvious :lol I think it's safe to say, that most of you will be glad that I waited to update before I went forward on that project ;)
Here are the first few pics. Lets call them teaser pics I suppose. Because throughout the eveing, I will be adding more pics, and comps to the V.2. I will detail the changes that have been made to each piece (within reason of course). We'll call them "Highlights" :lol If some of the armor looks funny (not what you're used to seeing) , it's not your eyes. This is what the stuff really looks like. Unfortunately, this is what the real stuff looks like in person too .... it's just not what we've come to expect, and so therefore may be a little surprising to some. I say, it looks "kinda funny" <in my best Wayne's world (Dana Carvey) voice> :lol
So come back from time to time tonight. It could get interesting ... ;) (there are a couple of neat surprises coming up)

The Lakeland Fire Department's Urban Search and Rescue Light Technical Rescue Team #421 (USAR LTRT-421) was invited by the State of Florida to participate in the South Florida Exercise (SoFLEx) USAR Drill held in Palm Beach on January 8, 2014, and January 9, 2014. The drill was a joint exercise with various USAR teams from around the state functioning together to perform a search and rescue mission after a natural disaster. The scenario for this exercise was a Category 4 hurricane (Hurricane Brice) with sustained winds of 100mph that made landfall in Palm Beach County. There were a total of eight LTRTs and four USAR Task Force Teams that were invited to attend this exercise. The exercise was divided among two different locations, Palm Beach County State College and the Palm Beach County Fire Rescue Training Center.
Upon arrival on day one the USAR LTRT-421 group encountered the scenario in full swing, having been made aware that the Hurricane had made landfall and caused extensive damage trapping several victims. Rescue activities for the Lakeland team on day one included rescuing victims from apartments. The team's assignments over the two days also included breaching through four sections of concrete to make access into an "apartment" (large conex box) which had a floor collapse, shore the collapse in the "apartment", and proceed to search into the "parking garage." Team members also participated by serving as live victims for drills involving highly trained Search and Rescue Dog's, much like LFD's very own Cabella and Primos, although they weren't in attendance.
These exercises are very useful in training rescue professionals from around the state in the event that Florida is hit by a significant hurricane, a very real possibility. LFD's USAR team is one of only a few in the state and would play a crucial role in rescuing the trapped living after a major natural disaster. The exercise was not only a useful learning experience but also provides a good means for networking and interaction among teams, with teams interacting with each other to complete the search and rescue mission. These exercises allow the teams to work together prior to an actual event. The members are able to meet each other, learn the tactics of other teams, and get to the teams equipment cache.
LFD's Light Technical Rescue Team-421 members that participated were:

Murderball co-director Henry Alex Rubin explores the destructive potential of the Internet in this ensemble drama starring Jason Bateman, Hope Davis, and Alexander Skarsgård. His marriage dissolving before his very eyes, a former marine (Skarsgård) ruins his credit by gambling online as his wife (Paula Patton) strikes up an intimate relationship on a popular social-networking site. When identity theft puts their lives savings at risk, the couple track down the man (Michael Nyqvist) they believe is responsible for the crime. Meanwhile, an introverted teenage goth (Jonah Bobo) becomes the victim of a humiliating prank when his two biggest tormentors pose as the girl he likes, and trick him into exposing his true identity online. When the prank leads to tragedy, the young victim's mother (Davis) is overwhelmed by grief as her husband (Bateman) explodes with rage. Later, an ambitious TV reporter's quest to expose an online prostitution racket has unexpected repercussions for the frightened young man at the center of the growing controversy. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Redfin Survey
Homebuyers willing to pay more for less, real estate agents say
A new report from Redfin, the real estate brokerage, found buyers in the fourth quarter continued to be frustrated by the slim pickings among inventory, were willing to pay more than a seller's asking price, and were willing to settle for less when it comes to home features.Redfin's national survey of 468 agents provides insight into a housing market that continues to experience tightening inventories, rising home prices and mortgage rates that continued to trend upward.
Most agents continued to think it's a good time to buy a home (56 percent versus 55 percent in the third quarter), even if 63 percent believe sellers have 'unrealistic expectations' about the value of their properties.Among other findings:
• Eighty-seven percent of agents said limited inventory was buyers' biggest challenge.
• Fewer agents think now is a good time to sell a home - 65 percent in the fourth quarter compared with 72 percent in the third quarter and 86 percent in the second quarter - even if the overwhelming majority still think the time is right.• About 30 percent said buyers were 'flexible on features' and were 'prepared to waive contingencies' to win a bid.
Ennis Antoine, associate broker at Better Homes and Garden Real Estate Metro Brokers in Atlanta, said some buyers are settling for less house because they may face a time crunch in finding a place to live. Others aren't compromising on location, but may settle for a home that is smaller or a little dated.Antoine said he's advising clients to be patient. 'You have to understand there's not a lot of inventory, and when you find the home you want, you have to give your best offer initially because there's no haggling. You can't bargain down.'The Redfin survey also found agents were concerned that rising interest rates would limit home sales, with 39 percent believing that if rates exceeded 5.5 percent sales and price growth would suffer. Other agents put the threshold at 6 percent.Federal Reserve policymakers plan to do less in stimulating the economy by keeping interest rates low, which means mortgage rates, which have already been on the rise, will continue to trend upward.

Turkey Bowl Notebook: City bragging rights for Pioneers
Giampetruzzi clearly had a bad taste in his mouth after Central defeated Trinity in the 2010 and 2011 Turkey Bowls.
"The past two years they beat us, so this feels great," Giampetruzzi said. "(The turkey) will be a little warmer this year. It's been cold the past two years."
Giampetruzzi, a junior, and senior fullback/linebacker Ryan Carrier are among the Trinity players who live in Manchester and would be wearing Central green if they attended public high school.
Giampetruzzi completed 7 of 14 passes for 87 yards and a touchdown in Thursday's victory. Other than his 9-yard TD pass to Tristan Theroux, his most important completion may have been a 21-yard strike to Theroux on a a third-and-7 play during Trinity's final drive. The Pioneers picked up two more first downs in the drive and ran out the clock with a 27-21 lead.
Carrier carried the ball 14 times for 44 yards. He opened the scoring with a 1-yard run in the second quarter.
"It means everything to beat Central," Carrier said. "It's bragging rights. I played against all of my buddies. To finally beat them - it's unbelievable. I love it."
- - - - - - -
Central quarterback Riley Cote completed 25 of 29 passes for 287 yards and two touchdowns in the loss, but what he may remember most is the ball that Trinity's Austin Chambers intercepted on the goal line when Central was attempting to break a 14-14 tie late in the third quarter.
"Troy (Pelletier) was open, I just underthrew the ball," Cote said. "I got hit as a threw it, so I didn't really see what happened.
"It was a good, competitive game. We just fell short today."
- - - - - - -
Central coach Ryan Ray said there are 17 players who started at least one game for the Little Green this season who are eligible to return next year, when Central will compete in a revamped Division I that will feature 20 teams.
Central will compete with Bedford, Concord, Manchester Memorial and Manchester West in Division I North. Division I will have four five-team conferences.
"We're returning a lot of guys who played a lot of varsity football for us," Ray said. "That's a real positive."
Trinity will be in Division II, which will also have 20 teams. The Pioneers will be in Division II South with John Stark, Milford, Souhegan and Windham.
Eight teams will qualify for the playoffs in each division.
- - - - - - -
Central entered Thursday's game having won the last four Turkey Bowls. The loss dropped Central's overall record in the game to 17-11.
Trinity improved to 9-5. The Pioneers won the first four games (1981-84).
Manchester West has a 6-9 record in the game. West's last victory came in 2007, when it beat Central 19-13.
Manchester Memorial is 0-7. Six of its seven losses came against Central. Memorial also dropped a 28-16 decision to Trinity in the 1991 game.

text: With Quail hunting not what it used to be in the south I relish following a good dog in Argentina in pursuit of Perdiz. The Spotted Nothura and the larger Red-winged Tinamou are all lumped together as Perdiz by the local outfitters. But, the Red-wing is considered a prize as it is more secretive and in smaller number than the Nothura. Wonderful birds to hunt as they hold tight, run and usually found in singles and rarely pairs on the vast grassland called the Pampas. Great on the table also as the tender white meat is very flavorful, better than quail in my opinion. I have had the pleasure of following some great pointing dogs down there whether Brittany Spaniels, English Pointers, German Shorthairs and even Pointer/Shorthair crosses the dogs I have seen would be welcomed in any upland hunters kennel.

I have in hand a new 5.56 barrel from k-var and it is set up to use a 90deg. gas block. I have a AKM gas block and would like to use it. the rub comes in with the location of the gas hole on the barrel. if you look at the photos the hole ines up with the cross pin location witch is too far back. I could eather plug the barrel hole and use the gas block as a guide to drill a new hole, or do the reverse of what hcpookie did with his barrel/ GB. plug the "tube" of the GB and drill a new hole in the GB at 90 deg. and line up on the barrel this would require some fitting of the piston tube and a shorter piston ( not more than 1/16") to get the corect timing of the piston to GB. tell me hwat would you do and how.

(Excerpt from Mr. Adnan Oktar's live interview dated September 17, 2011)
Surat an-Nur, 55:
Allah has promised those of you who have faith and do right actions that He will make them successors in the land as He made those before them successors, and will firmly establish for them their religion with which He is pleased and give them, in place of their fear, security. 'They worship Me, not associating anything with Me.' Any who are disbelievers after that, such people are deviators.
This is the outline of the system of Mahdi (as).
"They worship Me, not associating anything with Me.."
They do not commit bigotry and hypocricy, right? They do not make supplementations to the Qur'an.
"Any who are disbelievers after that, such people are deviators."
Allah says, "I will not grant this to the bigots." He says, "I will grant this blessing to those who fully live by the Qur'an."

I'd hit that Helmet again with an airbrush if you ever get one. Costume As a whole it Looks great though!
What did you do for gloves and your shoes?
Gloves MOW misted gray and brown. The shoes are Tilos diving boots. They were black and the sole was gray so I just cover the black parts and painted gray. For the lines in the boot I used dimensional fabric paint. Still they need more work and the spikes.
The helmet still needs more work and thanks!
Looks tight man.
Yeah buddy!
Looking dirty! May have missed it in an earlier post, Who'd you order spikes from?
I just PM JodoKast89 for the toe spikes.
That's a great idea for the dive boots. I dive and I now have new use for my boots when they get retired.
Did you just use normal spray paint?
Yes Sr. Regular Spray Paint on the boots and the rest of the suit works great!
Very good , very solid!
Nice job! Looks like you had a rad time!
It was a Blast! It is amazing the positive response from people of all ages.

I am believing for a financial miracle blessing, and I am asking for you to pray along with me please. I have been living with relatives for almost 2 years now since I was laid off my job a few years ago.
I am now recently (4 months) employed and saving as much as I can to be able to move on, but the enemy keeps pushing my relatives to bug me about moving out etc. I am believing for super abounding blessings and grace and favor in every area of my life.
Thank you and God bless you all.

Memories of Blandford Forum
In the 1960s we used Blandford as our main shopping town, we lived in Child Okeford six miles away. Hobbs were a good toy shop, Frisbys shoe shop, Cherrys outfitters were another must when shoppinG for clothes, indeed both Frisbys and Cherrys used to bring their vans round the villages every other week.

Park Place
Hi, I'm hoping someone will know Park Place - I'm researching places that my grandmother may have been 'in service'. I've found a possible entry in the 1911 census that lists someone who could be her as a servant at Park Place, Blandford. Does anyone know of a large house that would fit the bill?
The New Hospital.
I moved to Blandford to take up a new position, at the time the extension of the hospital was near completion. The hospital was very much a community orientated place where local people were employed and cared for local members of the community. Through a hospital function, I met my current husband John, so I not only have very special work-related memories, but also have happy personal memories, thanks to the hospital.
Many A Good Memory.
Over the few years I lived in Blandford, John and I would take his parents for a drink at the Crown Hotel, lovely relaxing evenings, great atmosphere, good company, what more could you ask for. On my first Christmas in Blandford, the hospital held its Christmas dinner at the Crown Hotel, food and service were faultless and it was a great evening.

A friend of my has a new Gold 10. It will not cycle the second shell. What happens is the bolt does not seat fully against the chamber on the second shell yet it does fit properly when loaded by hand. There are visable markings on the reciever nearest the chamber (bottom right side if you face the barrel away from you). It looks like the bottom portion of the bolt is "hitting" the reciever in that area. It has gouged about a 1/16" or less out of the reciever very close to the chamber/barrel where the "rounded" portion of the reciever meets the barrel, you can see shiney bright metal.
Its almost like when the bolt comes back after fireing it's angled too far down if you will and strikes that area of the reciever.
I handeled that gun for a bit and not having played with one much I was very surprised as to how nimble it was to handle. No different than my 12 really.
Any thoughts?

Only a few months since I authored Forrester's "Market Overview: Data Center Infrastructure Management Solutions," significant changes merit some additional commentary.
Vendor Drama
The major vendor drama of the "season" is the continued evolution of Schneider and Emerson's DCIM product rollout. Since Schneider's worldwide analyst conference in Paris last week, we now have pretty good visibility into both major vendors' strategy and products. In a nutshell, we have two very large players, both with large installed bases of data center customers, and both selling a vision of an integrated modular DCIM framework. More importantly it appears that both vendors can deliver on this promise. That is the good news. The bad news is that their offerings are highly overlapped, and for most potential customers the choice will be a difficult one. My working theory is that whoever has the largest footprint of equipment will have an advantage, and that a lot depends on the relative execution of their field marketing and sales organizations as both companies rush to turn 1000s of salespeople and partners loose on the world with these products. This will be a classic market share play, with the smart strategy being to sacrifice margin for market share, since DCIM solutions have a high probability of pulling through services, and usually involve some annuity revenue stream from support and update fees.

text: Driving home from work last week in the pouring rain, I hit a HUGE pothole and hit the front passenger side wheel hard. One week later I have a roaring noise coming from the right front wheel, today we took care of the problem. We used the front part of the unibody to jack the HHR up from, the pad was right underneath the engine mount as well. It was actually very easy to remove the wheel hub. 2 bolts for the caliper, 2 bolts brake pad holder, 3 bolts for spindle, knock the upper ball joint out after removing nut. remove rotor, you don't have to remove the lower ball joint as the spindle will articulate out of the way far enough to get to the bolts. 3 bolts for the wheel hub assembly. The rear seal was completely gone, which caused water to get into the bearing and some of the cone bearings were actually egged. Went to Advanced Auto which had about 20 different choices, I had him bring out ACDelco $376.00, and MOOG $189.00. Acdelco made in Mexico, MOOG made in China.......I went with Moog, 3 year warranty I couldn't justify $400 for a hub sorry. The unit came with new ABS ring and connector, very nice quality. We also greased all CV joints, and balljoints which were basically dry from previous owner. As far as grease goes, I stumbled across some awesome stuff at Walmart about 2 years ago. It's called green grease, It's a marine grade grease and I mean that stuff is awesome, nothing affects it either. Heat, oil, brake fluid, gas, water, $5.00 for a tube, and it lasts forever. VERY MESSY!! We also checked the CV shafts, and there was no play whatsoever. Took it for a test drive once it was finished, and It was as quiet as can be. Took us about 2 1/2 hours of working time, It was my first FWD experience so It was slow ha ha!!

"I chose this birth announcement for its classic qualities. It complimented our newborns picture and the text size, color and font were perfect accents. Easy to make and love being able to see the finished product. Paper was heavy and sturdy. We have received several compliments on this announcement."
"We loved this announcement and got so many compliments on it! I did not have to change anything about it even though it was customizable I liked it the way it was the best. I put one large close-up of my daughter on the front and did one family picture on the back. I will note that you should pay attention to how close you zoom in on the front picture to make sure the writing doesn't cover your child's face. Great paper quality and quick delivery. I also used the mail for me option which is awesome as a new mom. Next time I would mail myself one too since I got my extra ones a few days after other people received theirs."
"When I first received these announcements I was very upset because the font in green was barely legible - it was way too light and it doesn't look this light on their site. So I contacted customer service and they got back to me immediately and they sent me new announcements with darker green font color without any hassle. They look great and I am so pleased with them! I have used tiny prints numerous times and this was the first complaint I had and their customer service was wonderful! I will continue to use them in the future."
"I was extemely pleased with how my newborn announcement turned out! I've received several comments From recipients that have said it was the cutest announcement they've ever seen!"
"I am very glad that I chose to order my daughter's birth announcements from tinyprints. I added a similar photo to the example, but changed it to black and white and it really made her name in pink pop out. I received a lot of compliments! The design and printing are flawless and better than I imagined."

Dear neighbors,
This morning, we all enjoyed the humor of an endorsement of the current District 3 Supervisor for re-election to the closed-door politics and abuse of the current board of supervisors. The best part of such humor is that a small conservative minority among voters will believe the humor as sincere.
Laugh loudly, it is simply humor,

Face it folks, the only thing humorous is your denial that this endorsement is right on target. Just like the other 3 newspapers that endorsed Piepho over Houston. Get to know the candidates. As the CCTimes said, re-electing Piepho is a no brainer.
Houston will say or do anything to save his political career. Unlike Piepho who makes tough decisions in spite of hers. It is called integrity.

Right on informed resident. I don't think Alamo residents will ever be happy with anyone. And to remind them--- Alamo is just one city out of the many in District 3. I can say that the bypass that was recently completed in Antioch has made a lot of people happy

Real quick since I need to get to get to bed. This morning 6 of us had a good morning of almost filling our limits. Missed it by a couple birds. Largest flock of geese was about 100+ birds, but only lets say 30 or so broke off and came into our kiling zone. Lots of shot sounds in the distance. We also saw tons of ducks flying around checking out our field and wanting to land since we were teasing them with our calling.
2005 may be a good year....... Good hunting!

When Cisco began shipping UCS slightly over two years ago, competitor reaction ranged the gamut from concerned to gleefully dismissive of their chances at success in the server market. The reasons given for their guaranteed lack of success were a combination of technical (the product won't really work), the economics (Cisco can't live on server margins) to cultural (Cisco doesn't know servers and can't succeed in a market where they are not the quasi-monopolistic dominating player). Some ignored them, and some attempted to preemptively introduce products that delivered similar functionality, and in the two years following introduction, competitive reaction was very similar – yes they are selling, but we don't think they are a significant threat.
Any lingering doubt about whether Cisco can become a credible supplier has been laid to rest with Cisco's recent quarterly financial disclosures and IDC's revelation that Cisco is now the No. 3 worldwide blade vendor, with slightly over 10% of worldwide (and close to 20% in North America) blade server shipments. In their quarterly call, Cisco revealed Q1 revenues of $171 million, for a $684 million revenue run rate, and claimed a booking run rate of $900 million annually. In addition, they placed their total customer count at 5,400. While actual customer count is hard to verify, Cisco has been reporting a steady and impressive growth in customers since initial shipment, and Forrester's anecdotal data confirms both the significant interest and installed UCS systems among Forrester's clients.
Posted by Richard Fichera on May 20, 2011
A recent RFP for consulting services regarding strategic platforms for SAP from a major European company which included, among other things, a request for historical and forecast data for all the relevant platforms broken down by region and a couple of other factors, got me thinking about the whole subject of the use and abuse of market share histories and forecasts.
The merry crew of I&O elves here at Forrester do a lot of consulting for companies all over the world on major strategic technology platform decisions – management software, DR and HA, server platforms for major applications, OS and data center migrations, etc. As you can imagine, these are serious decisions for the client companies, and we always approach these projects with an awareness of the fact that real people will make real decisions and spend real money based on our recommendations.
The client companies themselves usually approach these as serious diligences, and usually have very specific items they want us to consider, almost always very much centered on things that matter to them and are germane to their decision.
The one exception is market share history and forecasts for the relevant vendors under consideration. For some reason, some companies (my probably not statistically defensible impression is that it is primarily European and Japanese companies) think that there is some magic implied by these numbers. As you can probably guess from this elaborate lead-in, I have a very different take on their utility.
Posted by Richard Fichera on May 18, 2011
Entering into a new competitive segment, especially one dominated by major players with well-staked out turf, requires a level of hyperbole, dramatic positioning and a differentiable product. Cisco has certainly achieved all this and more in the first two years of shipment of its UCS product, and shows no signs of fatigue to date.
However, Cisco's announcement this week that it is now part of Microsoft's Fast Track Data Warehouse and Fast Track OLTP program is a sign that UCS is also entering the mainstream of enterprise technology. The Microsoft Fast Track program, offering a set of reference architectures, system specification and sizing guides for both common usage scenarios for Microsoft SQL Server, is not new, nor is it in any way unique to Cisco. Fast Track includes Dell, HP, IBM, and Bull. The fact that Cisco will now get equal billing from Microsoft in this program is significant – it is the beginning of the transition from emerging fringe to mainstream , and an endorsement to anyone in the infrastructure business that Cisco is now appearing on the same stage as the major incumbents.
Will this represent a breakthrough revenue opportunity for Cisco? Probably not, since Microsoft will be careful not to play favorites and will certainly not risk alienating its major systems partners, but Cisco's inclusion on this list is another incremental step in becoming a mainstream server supplier. Like the chicken soup that my grandmother used to offer, it can't hurt.

with it being entered in this contest its not able to be sold anywhere else. if it doesn't print here after the contest It may be subbed elsewhere to see if it can be printed or be made available on my redbubble store.
Re: 2-D Glasses!
If it didn't misspell "patented" it'd totally have my vote. Can that sort of thing be fixed before print?
ZOMG! Want! Need! Must freaking have! Vote, people, VOOOOTTTTTEEEEE!

you have and it has since been taken down from threadless. Before this week I actually wanted to make sure it was okay for it to be in the double take although it was up for scoring at threadless(where it was poorly scored) but then taken down and I was assured it was okay to be in the double take.

Student health, safety and security are our top priorities. The College of Global Studies at Arcadia University is prepared to deal with any emergencies that may arise. Our experienced and well-connected Glenside and overseas staff members are prepared to support students thorough pre-departure and on-site orientation information and 24-hour staffed telephone numbers.
We are committed to:
Our policies and procedures receive ongoing review and refinement from our Executive Director and senior leadership team; our North American-based Health, Safety, and Security Director; and our experienced and well-trained in-country staff.
Maureen Gordon, Arcadia's Director of Health, Safety and Security, works alongside Kara Amoratis, Assistant Director of Health, Safety and Security, our overseas Regional Directors and a team led by Tim Barton, Director of Student Life and Support Services, to ensure the highest standards of safety, security and well-being support for our students. The team has the most up-to-date health and safety information and procedures in place in order to make thoughtful decisions, while keeping parents and our partner institutions in the United States informed about situations occurring in-country.
While our staff is prepared to respond in the unlikely event of an emergency situation affecting several people, most emergencies are personal. It is more likely that students will need advice on finding the services of a good doctor, specialist or counselor, or help with emergency travel needs, and our staff is prepared to support them. Additionally, we keep in regular contact with students through newsletters, on-going activities and personal visits to campus.
During the application process, we encourage students to self-disclose any personal, medical, physical and mental conditions which may affect their study abroad experience. Early disclosure ensures our ability to provide the most appropriate advice and counsel regarding program choice as well as enhancing our ability to provide appropriate support overseas. All information provided remains confidential and does not affect a student's acceptance into a program.
Study abroad is a profoundly life-changing experience. Concerns about health, safety and security should not dissuade students from this wonderful opportunity. Instead, we encourage them to be informed and knowledgeable about the risks and rewards of such an undertaking.
Education about health, safety and security when traveling abroad begins the moment a student enrolls in an Arcadia program and continues throughout a student's enrollment period. Information about health, insurance and safety policies in individual countries is available to students at any time from our program managers and our in-country staff.
When students arrive overseas, our in-country staff provides a thorough orientation about the local culture which includes a review of country- and program-related safety and security guidelines. We discuss culturally appropriate behaviors and explain how to contact local emergency services. We also share relevant Department of State notices, alerts and warnings and make sure staff members are available to respond to students' questions and concerns.
Students are provided with emergency contact cards which include an emergency number which is monitored 24 hours a day so students can reach our staff at any time—even after office hours and on weekends. We also ask students to leave contact information and intended itineraries with our staff when they travel away from their program sites. This way, in the event of an emergency, our staff knows where and how to reach our students.
Students, parents/guardians, and study abroad advisors can expect announcements about safety and security from Arcadia should conditions warrant such information. If you are a parent, please check with your student to find out if they listed you as an emergency contact on their application. If not, please ask them to contact their program manager to add you to their file; that way, we can email you in the event that there is a special alert during the program.
It is impossible for anyone to anticipate every contingency that might affect our students. But longevity and experience count. With more than six decades of experience directing and administering programs overseas, we have a wide network of contacts in government agencies, among local police forces and in the communities where students are studying. We maintain regular communication with U.S. embassies and consulates to stay abreast of security information. This allows us to develop and implement emergency management procedures appropriate to an emerging situation. As events warrant, we can quickly notify students, advisors and parents/guardians about the steps that are being taken. If the need arises, we are prepared to move students from places where they may be at risk to a more secure environment.
As part of our regular monitoring of circumstances and events that may affect the well-being of our students, Arcadia is a member of the Overseas Security Advisory Council (OSAC) of the Department of State, a federal and private sector group established to share information and promote security cooperation between the United States government and private sector interests worldwide. The analysts at OSAC provide real-time security information and analysis as well as updates and background information on issues and developments throughout the world.
Arcadia has been actively involved in a national health and safety task force for education abroad. This task force worked with a group of distinguished international educators to draft and disseminate statements of good practice intended to protect the well-being of the thousands of students who study abroad each year.
The US Department of State issues travel warnings and travel alerts to provide safety and security information to Americans traveling internationally. A travel alert is issued when a traveler should be aware of a short-term event or circumstance. A travel warning is issued for locations where the State Department believes there is a continuing or longer-term circumstance which warrants a review of travel to the country or location at all.
Arcadia's senior administrators review data and information from a variety of sources before approving travel to a location or country for which a travel warning or a travel alert has been issued. Questions about Arcadia's policy can be addressed to the Director of Health, Safety, and Security.

The Canisius Golden Griffins will meet VMI in the first round of the 2014 CollegeInsider.com Postseason Tournament (CIT), the CIT committee announced tonight. The Griffs and the Keydets will play in the Koessler Athletic Center March 18 at 7 p.m. Tickets, which go on sale Monday, March 17 at 10 a.m., cost $15 for reserved seats and $10 for general admission.
The Griffs will be hosting a national postseason game for the second-straight year after the Blue and Gold played at home in the CIT first round and quarterfinal round last March. This marks the first time in the program's 110-year history where Canisius has hosted postseason games in back-to-back years.
Canisius is 21-12 this and the team posted a 14-6 record in MAAC play in 2013-14. The 21 wins are the most for the Canisius program since the 1994-95 season and the team is one win shy of matching the school's single-season win record of 22, which is held by both the 1956-57 and 1993-94 teams. Canisius earned the No. 4 seed in last week's MAAC Championship in Springfield, Mass., and advanced to the semifinal round of the conference tournament with a 71-65 win over Siena. That semifinal appearance was Canisius' first since 2002.
VMI, out of the Big South Conference, is making its first postseason appearance in 37 years. The Keydets are 19-12 and the team reached the Big South Tournament semifinals this year, the program's sixth trip to the conference semifinals in the last eight years. VMI leads the nation in scoring average at 87.7 points per game and the team's winning record is its third winning campaign in the last four years.
The Keydets have three players averaging better than 18 points per game, led by freshman guard QJ Peterson, who averages 19.4 points per game. Senior forward D.J. Covington averages 18.7 points and a team-high 9.4 rebounds per game. He was named the Big South Defensive Player of the Year thanks to his 209 defensive rebounds and 96 total blocked shots, which ranks him 10th in the nation in blocks per game. Senior guard Rodney Glasgow is good for 18.4 points per game and 5.6 assists per outing for the Keydets, which reached 70-plus points on the scoreboard in 26 of the team's 31 contests this year.VMI last participated in postseason play in 1977 when it advanced to the Sweet 16 before falling to Kentucky in the East Regional in College Park, Maryland. The 2014 CIT will the fourth basketball postseason tourney overall in program history, as the Keydets have also participated in the 1964 and 1976 NCAA tournaments, reaching the Elite Eight in 1976.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Jaw22w: The factory setting for these engines is 0 degrees, not sure why, it's probably just the distributor and computer set up.
But I have great news, regarding my idle, as of the last hour of working on the truck. I hooked up my laptop to the ECU, and used my Tuner Pro Rt software. I ran it for awhile watching the engine run through the computer, and realized that my TPS sensor didn't look quite right. Normal factory TBI units, TPS sensor should sit at 0.50 volts, my setup is required to run at 0.65 volts at idle. The computer showed my new, BWD TPS sitting at 1.45 volts. Essentially making my computer think I'm sitting there with my foot on the gas, while not getting the proper air flow required, for the amount of gas, I was getting. So I replaced the BWD TPS, with my old fully adjustable TPS, and set it up at 0.65 volts. Idle ran a steady 650 RPM, for 20 minutes. I also checked my fuel pressure before my filter, and it's sitting steady at 11 PSI, and when I turn off the engine the PSI drops down to 8 PSI and holds it. I still need to wait until the morning to see how it does cold, but I think, I can finally say, case closed with the dramatic idle issue. As for the slight rise in temperature, about an 1/8 inch past 210 degrees, I haven't got that figured out yet. I might flush the radiator, since some of you, are suggesting it might be blockage.
Post #11---And timing, originally, I set it by unplugging a wire and setting it at 0. I remember at one point i went to check my timing after all this happened. I unplugged the wire, and the truck wouldn't start. Then i started it, and unplugged it and it went into a violent fit until it finally died, even after i plugged the wire back in after it was running. I haven't tried messing with that since that episode, because it ran fine was i cleared the computer.
Are you talking about setting the ignition timing? If so, your timing could be way off. 0 degrees is not enough advance. A retarded engine can run hot and do all sorts of crazy things. Please explain your timing method.
|Alrighty guys, I have the vacuum results in. At start up I read 18 lbs with rapid shaking, then it started to fluctuate between 16 and 18 lbs for a few minutes before deciding to drop to 14 lbs and fluctuate at a steady rate between 14 and 16. That reading isn't at my worst idle, I still had the fluctuating idle, but it was no where near as nasty as it gets in the mornings. My vacuum results pointed to late ignition timing, which confuses me because my timing was dead on, before I started having these problems.
|cliff tate
loss of coolant
has the rad bin cleaned,sounds like restriction in the rad which causes cavitation,flow restriction causes the water pump to cavitate,airiating water
|Alright guys sorry I haven't been on in a while, I decided to take a break from this headache. My cooling issues haven't been as bad as they were, but the temperture is still going over the normal 210 heat range that it was always ran at strong. I picked up a tee and some vacuum line from NAPA today, so I can check the vacuum pressure. And my Actron fuel pressure fitting and tester came in the mail the other day, so I can see how the pump is doing, I want to say its the original pump but idk. The surging idle issue is getting much worse now, almost to the point of stalling. And its now starting to surge while stopped in gear. I've also noticed that on a cold start, the engine misses roughly five times and then the idle smoothes out, until it goes into the surging fit. My thermostat housing is also start to seap coolant and chunks of what seems to be gasket material.....I guess I'll take that off again and see what's up.
Head Gasket Leak?
When hot pull your dip stick out and put it on your hot header and if the oil just runs off, your allright but if you hear a silzer noise its blown head gasket? Old way of check but now you can take it to auto Zone and they will check it with a raydeater cap vacme gage.

I won't claim to say this is the best location to hook up a vacuum gauge but definitely gives a proper reading at idle assuming the EGR being disconnected causing a problem. The other way is to have a T connector so you can keep the EGR line hooked up. The fitting is at the front of the TBI right next to the large PCV line.
Up here they suggest a 195 thermostat but a slightly cooler one might be better for your location but with whatever you decide on, T stats don't cost a lot and I'd say its easier to just put in another one while your doing through the motions of draining coolant out anyway.
You had a new fan clutch mounted up for your drive in this morning ?
Well, I drove to work this morning and it started to get a little warmer than what I would like, so I'll tear into the thermostat again and make sure I don't have any rtv on it, causing any blockage. Then its back to the drawing bored again if that's not the problem....
It just didn't have any resistance, once it was warmed up, I turned it off and the fan just continued to spin freely.
I'll check the vaccum when I di the t-stat, where do you suggest I hook up the vacuum gauge? I have one available vacuum port on the far right of the tbi.
|Northern Chevy
How did he determine the fan clutch was bad or should say the viscous clutch as it only locks up when the engine would be quite hot and if everything is working properly and since its winter, the clutch would never have reason to kick in. I am guessing he meant the viscous assembly was weak as they will fail or leak out and then just about free wheel from what I have been told. I've found with those clutches or at least for my 95 chevy, the factory one never did lock up so I thought it was a dud and bought an aftermarket one and it took a lot of temperature for it to lock up { covering the grill in the summer time to experiment with this } . I don't like to see the temperature start climbing much over that 100c / 212f mark as I know the thermostat is probably all the way open by then and the temps can just sky rocket without warning after that. I'm not saying you should do this to your brand new clutch but just for future reference if you ever needed to do this. I re bent the outer tip of the bi metal spring a little to get the clutch cutting in earlier although not at too low a temperature as that would be very bad for over cooling and use a lot of gas to drive it. It worked well though when I did that modification and installed the largest rad I could find to fit the truck before heading through Death Valley in the middle of summer although I still kept the conditioning off... and its a black truck !.
I would suspect a leaking fuel injector isn't going to help the way the engine idles and probably should get that repaired or replaced before chasing everything else down for the surging idle situation.
Take note of the editor of that wiki article, Cobalt, you can thank him. Also there is a ton of great info there. It's worth checking out whenever you have questions about something your working on that you're not sure of.
I'm really glad to here that you found the problem. Remember, always start with basics so as to eliminate the little things first.
yeah i didn't care much for my method with the silicone, i hate the way it looks. I'll try your method next time
I'm working on getting a new distributor also, my old one was out of my truck for about a month and i went to put it on and realized it was seized up. So i took it apart and cleaned it up, and cross hatched the shaft to help hold the oil i put on it. soon enough i'll have a complete 6 AL MSD ignition system set up.
So i stopped by the radiator shop today to have them check it out and see what they thought, and something i completely overlooked. My fan clutch is bad, that's why i was over heating on my way to work at the slow speeds. And apparently the bubbles are normal because my return line for my heater core enters right at the cap. And that causes bubbles to escape at the mouth of the radiator. I'll replace the clutch today and see what happens thanks guys Now just to figure out the surging idle, I'll do a vacuum check as soon as possible and get the information to you. That chart for vacuum looks like it will be very helpful 64nailhead, i didn't realize you could tell so much about vacuum
|Northern Chevy
Unfortunately due to dial up I only saw the first few seconds of the coolant beginning to flow out of the rad but was reading over 64nailheads thoughts and nodding my head repeatedly. The water pump, general tune up parts and so forth should all be new with a new engine installation as it would be like buying a new truck off the lot and it had a number of half worn out parts put on it, take a guess how well that would work out down the road a ways in miles and years. Its bad enough with the accessories that tend to get swapped over such as a well worn starter, alternator, TBI assembly { which you are having problems with } as by rights all those items should be new as well, distributor and on and on. Unfortunately an engine install that covers all those externals as new is FAR more expensive then the initial cost of the basic long block drop in. It might sound like I am coming down on on you hard but that isn't the intention of my comments in the least, its just pointing out that doing a new engine install and covering all basis isn't inexpensive.
Hi tack, that product is wonderful for those times it fits the situation as it leaves a nice THIN layer of sealant on the surface and will add, its very advisable to wear those throw away thin gloves when working with it. While I use RTV or other types of silicone, the diff cover for example and so forth that doesn't use a gasket, the key is to use a thin layer of it so in the case of water pump or thermostat housing gaskets, LESS is more as they say. Just a thin thin layer if the product even if it allows for that as its hard to get some of these silicones spread thin enough.
Many years ago a friend of mine who used to work as a mechanic at a ford dealership, he commented about another mechanic in that shop who was famous for using FAR too much silicone and they had an engine come back that was having issues to say the least and pulled off the valve cover this mechanic had sealed on with silicone. Most of the silicone had broken off from the inside edge and had plugged up a lot of the oil passages back down into the crank case and I would imagine what did find its way into the oil pan would soon stick to the oil intake screen. Thats a perfect example of what can happen by way over use of sealants.
IMHO - that video doesn't indicate a bad head or head gasket. Again, IMO the bubbles would be much more severe and consistent or a big bubble that is cyclical following rpm's.
Did you ever get a vacuum reading at idle and say 1500 rpm's? Take a look at the attachment. It is some great info on diagnosing engine issues based on vacuum readings - thanks to wiki editors!
That surge sounds like a vacuum leak, bad IAC or bad EGR valve.
Now, guardedly, I'm going to give you some advice that is basic, at least to me. You put a new engine in this truck and reused the old (2 yr old) water pump? It is like reusing the old spark plugs as far as I'm concerned. Basically, new engine means new plugs, rotor, cap, water pump, t-stat, etc. AGAIN, IMHO!
I noticed alot of RTV around the t-stat housing. I'm not a big fan of smearing RTV around the t-stat housing. I prefer HiTack or similar because the gasket should do the sealing and excessive RTV can cause nothing but issues. It is the RTV that you can't see on the inside of the housing that can cause issues. Probably someone will chime in and disagree with me on that though.
New water pump - less than $50, get the t-stat out and see if the problem goes away by driving it back and forth to work. If it is 15-25 degrees outside, then it shouldn't blow good heat with the t-stat removed under normal driving/cruising speeds - dress warm. And CHECK THE VACUUM!
p.s. A vacuum gauge is a cheap tool that can be used on every gas engine to diagnose problems. It doesn't matter if you're working on a 64 Nailhead, 89 SBC or a 2010 LS engine - the vacuum gauge doesn't lie.
Good luck and keep us posted.
|Northern Chevy
|When you do pull the thermostat and have another new one on hand, you can heat up some water on the stove and while its on the stove hang both stats into the water by some wire and compare their action and how far they open as that usually tells the story if one is bad and doesn't open near as far for the same heat being applied. Just make sure you keep track of which is the new one and which was the old one !.
Here's the video with the thermostat open and at operating temperature, just click on it like the last one.
