my landlord asked me to rescue him from vacant aptment (I'd say 7-8 mnth old kitty)..he's big, so I thought Godzilla was appropriate...
ZIP and SHY R.I.P. my beautiful girls
First, I have to say - what an awesome landlord! To have a landlord ASK a tenant to rescue a kitty. We need more like that!
Second, what a great looking kitty. Are you going to keep him or try to rehome him? He looks like he's a bundle of fun.
You may want to put this under Cat General, too. A lot more people look there.
Bless you for taking him in!
Awwww....Bless your heart, and your landlords! Godzilla is adorable!!
I didn't slap you, I just high fived your Face!I've Been Boo'd!!
What a gorgeous boy!!! Look at all those spots on him! He's certainly a handsome guy! That was nice of your landlord to ask you to rescue him rather than just throw him out, as many would do. There are good people out there...
What a HUNK!! I'd say he is a keeper! Looks like he is sweet and full of charm and such a snuggle bunnie!
Special Needs Pets just leave bigger imprints ♥ on your heart!
What a cute face! I hope you find a good home for him.
Cathy loves Cocoa Kitty.
What a handsome boy he is - and what a nice landlord you have.
Are you going to keep him, or find a new home for him?

The title "Payback" implies that it is a sequel to Duck Hunt, in which case the orange zappers were out already. Personally I like the orange zappers.

Re: Leprechaun on Unicorn Playing Polo!
Why are you not in the fog, my lovely oversized leprechaun? I so admire your unicorn handling skills. ;-)
I wanted to vote for this shirt, I really did (and still might), but I have an issue with your blocks. You've got 6 (?) colors to work with, which should be enough for at least most of the shapes, but your blocks of the same shape have different colors. First, I noticed the vertical pink line is one too long to be the 4x1, but conceivably it's more than one block partially deleted by completed line. But then I saw the same shapes repeated (2x2 square, left- and right-bend "L" blocks) that had different colors. Arguably, this is only a minor issue (and not easily/quickly recognizable, so the shirt is still wearable), but I'd suggest a resub fixing this issue, if there's time.

Thanks so much guys! I'm glad you like the colors! I hadn't originally planned this on white, but it just made the color choices that much easier. I was originally going to go with orange, or red maybe, but I would turn that layer on and off because it hurt my eyes to stare at it that way, haha. That's when I decided to keep it white.
Every single time I've looked at woot this derby, I feel a compulsive need to comment on how much I like this shirt. I need this shirt. It cracks me up so much. I don't know why. But I love it. It's just too funny. And it's so bright and colorful.

'The Sabres have been taking a hard look at hiring a full-time goaltending coach. Jim Corsi has been the team's part-time coach for five seasons. "I like Jim. I like the job he does and how he teaches," Sabres coach Lindy Ruff said. "You sometimes wonder if there's somebody better out there."'
Archives for May 2003
Sabres ponder hiring goalie coach
Sabres' juniors on board
'Said Roy: "That's my game. If it's hitting the goalie to get them off their game, I'll do that. I'm competitive. They don't like the way I play, some guys. I try to play hard every night."'
Sabres' Thorburn happy to have Roy on his side
'''I'm sure I'm not just speaking for myself, but for Derek, too. We're very grateful for the opportunity,'' Thorburn said. ''I just hope we give it back by being successful.'''
Wait was worth it for Sabres' Roy
'''I want to make this team. I just don't want to get sent down to Rochester,'' he said, referring to the Sabres' AHL affiliate. ''They believe in me and, hopefully, I can come into training camp in good shape and be ready to go.'''
Sabres selling hopes, but is anyone buying?
'The Sabres desperately need goal scorers and some locker room leadership. They're still a long way from making the playoffs … much less contending for the Cup. But by the same token … it was only four years ago that they were in the Cup finals.'
Rangers captain Derek Roy scores deal with Sabres
'"It's a good organization, I know them and I've been through two training camps with them,'' Roy said. "That was really important for me. It's always important when you know the people you work with and I didn't want to chance being drafted by a team I didn't know.'''
Thorburn has early birthday gift, an offer from Sabres
'"I didn't want to go back in the draft so this is a big day. I figured if I went back in, who knows, maybe I'd get lost in the shuffle because there are many good young players out there."'
Biron, Chechmanek among Avs' Possible Options
'One of the most intriguing would be a trade for Biron. Mired in their own post-great-goalie-era after the retirement of Dominik Hasek last summer, the Sabres are loaded with highly regarded young prospects, namely Mikka Norenen and Ryan Miller. This would be the time to go with the kids.'
Sabres raise their sights
'"Everyone here recognized this is a challenge," Regier said. "Lindy does as well. No one's backing away from it. No one's running. Everybody knows the criticism. Everybody knows about status quo. We're not going to run away, and we're not walking away. We're going to find a way to get it done. In seven months, come back and we'll talk."'
Ruff exudes a new sense of purpose
'"I thought I was done here," Ruff admitted. "I thought it would be time to go elsewhere."'
Accountability needs to reach the GM's office
'Making the playoffs isn't a very ambitious goal, but at least he's giving us something to hold them to. If they miss the playoffs for a third straight year, there'll be hell to pay. The first one held to account will be the coach.'
Sabres sign 2 draftees, won't keep Hamel
'The Sabres will make qualifying offers before June 30 to their other 12 restricted free agents: forwards Eric Boulton, Curtis Brown, Tim Connolly, Ales Kotalik, Adam Mair, Taylor Pyatt and Miroslav Satan and defensemen Rory Fitzpatrick, Dmitri Kalinin, Jay McKee, Henrik Tallinder and Rhett Warrener. Boulton, Brown, Satan, Fitzpatrick, McKee and Warrener have arbitration rights. They must declare by July 15.'
Regier And Ruff Told Win, Or Else
'Regier acknowledged that this team got too young too fast and is looking for veteran leadership to come on board. Quinn and Ruff both described last year's performance as an "embarrassment."'
Ruff takes pay cut, stays with Sabres
'"I'm convinced we can make this a winner. I see what Tom has done in the business world (as the founder and CEO of Paychex Inc.). I'm also convinced this team lacked direction and Tom brings that."'
Roy gives Sabres talent infusion
'It is much too early to tell if Roy is destined to replace departed Michael Peca as the heart and soul of the Sabres, but he appears to have some of the right ingredients.'

well and then there are all the things that go wrong like bitch dies because an afterbirth was retained
or a puppy was retained
or she gets an infection after they are born
doesnt produce enough milk
gets an infection in her breast
the list goes on and on
but i suppose all your dogs whelp just fine on their own then selzer?
I have had dogs drip for an ungodly amount of time after a whelping. But no, there is nothing the vet does about that. By the time you might have problems because of a retained puppy or placenta, it is too late for a clean out shot. Some people like the clean out shots, others do not -- they can be terribly dangerous without checking first for a stuck puppy. I don't like them.
Yeah, I have needed c-sections with Odie. But, no, no infections, the milk has always been fine, even with the litter of 10, no need to supplement. I have worried about the milk quality, but it wasn't a problem. If you supplement with calcium and then break that off, you are likely to have milk fever, calcium deficinency than if you let nature run its course.
I haven't had a problem in a mammary gland. I have seen the pictures in the book. I do not mess with her teets when she is lactating and I have never had a problem with them. Could happen. I know what to look for.
The point is, the vets have NEVER, EVER given any sort of a crash course in what might go wrong or what to watch for. I guess it is up to you to get a book and figure it out, and if you have any questions about problems you are experiencing it is time to consult a vet.
If you just say, "Hi Dr. ---- , we're in the family way. We should have puppies on such and such of a date. " He's going to say, "Good, call me if you have any problems." And unless there is a serious problem in the works, he isn't going to give you his home number.
It's not like having a baby where they measure the belly, and take your weight and do ultra sounds and determine the sex, and make sure that everything is going right and you are taking the right vitamins.

but i suppose all your dogs whelp just fine on their own then selzer?
selzer the vet should have been consulted pre-breeding to have the necessary health tests done and at the very least to rule out brucellosis
should one not have a working relationship with their vet when going into a breeding program?
what if the bitch needs a c section when she starts whelping??
anyway if storm asked their veterinarian how to tell how many puppies there will be the veterinarian will explain how - and when-- that is determined i am sure
Testing for genetic diseases is often done at a specialist or a different vet who is known to throw good prints. Again, it is not something you consult your vet for. You go to the clinic and say that you want them to do OFA Hips, Elbows, Thyroid, Cardiac, etc. The vet does not tell you what you should test for, they will show you the x-rays and give the opinion and then give their projection for what the OFA will say. But this should definitely be done prior to the bitch being in heat.
Once the bitch is in heat, there is no need to consult a veterinarian at all. If it makes you feel better, you can call your vet and let them know when your bitch is likely to whelp. If you suspect issues, you can do progesterone testing to pin point the exact time of ovulation. But don't rely on anything.
You can do all that, and then after your bitch is definitely having issues, and you call to say you are bringing her in, THEN they tell you the vet that can do the surgery is out of town. So you have to scramble anyway.
And, you can go back and back and back for progesterone testing. And when the date of the C-section comes up, you call to set it up, and your vet then tells you they need more progesterone testing. The one vet said, they do not ovulate all at once -- well, that isn't what Dr. Hutch says -- 12 hours. Seems they did not continue to test until she ovulated, but only until she had one of her surges, and then MOST bitches will ovulate within.... So you go back and go back, for more progesterone testing, and you STILL have to scramble at the end and go to the other place for the C-section because your vet still isn't certain about the timing.
I would have been better off, leaving the vet totally out of it, and just going off the the farther place when labor started -- she needs c-sections.
And if there is no reason to think the bitch will need a c-section, you can do all the progesterone testing. But it is unnecessary.
The breeding to whelping process, as well as the raising of puppies can all be done without the help or consultation of the vet. And if there is a problem, then no amount of consulting a vet in advance is going to chance the fact that you need a vet now. If there is a problem, you need a vet.
To determine whether the bitch is pregnant or the number of pups, you need to go to the vet. This is not necessary. Many breeders swear by it though. Other breeders think that the testing and stress and exposure is harmful. If the bitch is pregnant, she will whelp or she will show signs of trouble, at which time, they will x-ray, they will ultra-sound, they will do progesterone testing if you take her to the right place.
Should a breeder have a working relationship with a vet to go into a breeding program? Why? Are vets suddenly knowledgeable about specific breeds, their lines and their genetics? Are they experts about which animals should be bred and which should not. If I told you some of the stuff vets have told me, like -- well, yes we could x-ray her hips, but you can tell she doesn't have a problem, having the hips x-rayed only means you can ask more for the puppies. Yeah, No. The vet is not one that you need a working relationship with to go into a breeding program. To own a pet -- yes, good idea. Good idea if they accept that you are somewhat knowledgeable, but not for breeding advice.

I removed a whole wack of posts that were completely UN-helpful and insulting to the OP.
I am NOT impressed by the arrogance of some posters. EDUCATE, and use your time on the 'net wisely to help others, sarcasm does not make you out to be somewhat better than another.
(Is there a full moon coming up or something? Lots of RUDE posts lately . . . )
ask your veterinarian
you should have been consulting with him or her all along
It's better to start your own thread.
The answer is dependent on how you will determine. I think that you can find heart beats with ultrasound by 4 weeks -- could be wrong about that, though. And it is very difficult to get an accurate count that way, at least that young.
If you are waiting to do an x-ray, you should wait until the bones are calcified, usually it is best to wait until about the 56th day -- from ovulation, not from the breeding date. At this point the pups are better formed so you will be able to get a decent head count etc, also with proper procedure, they say the x-ray will not be harmful to the puppy's development, but they make the humans wear lead aprons or stay out of the area, so the older the pups are the better. Too young, you will not see them properly anyway.
Gestation is 9 weeks from ovulation -- not breeding date. The majority of the growth is in the third trimester, and for much of the pregnancy a bitch's system can resorb a puppy. Which means, if something happens to the puppy, or the bitch aborts due to stress or what have you, she may or may not resorb the dead pup or puppies. Which means, she could have been pregnant at 4 weeks along and not be pregnant at 9 weeks.
Best to wait.

text: Posted October 29, 2012 Mentally, Cam Newton is about as weak right now as I've ever seen any quarterback ever. He's in mental shambles. I think the one chance to save his career in Carolina is to sign or trade for a veteran QB in 2013 that Cam can sit behind. I think this would have been best for him all along, get some of these crushingly high expectations off of him for a second and just let the guy regain his composure so he can FINALLY learn proper footwork, FINALLY learn how to pass inside the 10, FINALLY learn how to pick up a key first down or touchdown through the air late in the 4th quarter. Every time he has to go out there and learn on the fly, it's stacking up even more pressure on him when he fails time and time again. I'll probably get flamed for this, but whatever. Thoughts?

Spaced Out - On the Buddha's discourse on Emptiness
An unconventional graphic representation of the topic...
"All of the techniques and strategies taught by the Buddha in the area
of meditation are means for developing the heart so that it will be
suited to transcending the realm of conventional reality and reaching
outer space: nibbana.
What is it like, the outer space of the Dhamma? They no longer doubt
...about whether the outer space of the world exists or not. The things
that lie within conventional reality are known to exist. Outer space
beyond our atmosphere is another level of conventional reality. Outer
space: What is it like? Does it exist? How does our world in the
atmosphere differ from the things outside the world of our atmosphere
called outer space? Both of these levels exist.
The mind that lies in the realm of conventional reality (sammuti) — surrounded
and controlled — is like the various objects in the world trapped by the
pull of gravity at all times. The mind is trapped by the pull of
defilement in just the same way. It can't escape, which is why it must
develop its strength to escape from the world of this gravitational
pull. ... The outer space of the mind released from all forms of gravitational
pull, i.e., conventional reality: What is it like? Even though we've
never known it before, when we come to know it, we won't have any
doubts. This is what we referred to at the beginning when we talked about the
outer space of the world and the outer space of the mind. The outer
space of the mind — the mind of nibbana — is like that. Just
where is it annihilated? Who experiences the outer space of the mind? If
it were annihilation, who could experience it? As for where it will
or won't be reborn, we already know that there's no way for it to be
reborn. We know this clearly. We've removed every defilement or
conventional reality that would lead to rebirth." -- Ajaan Maha Boowa

Meeting up around 12:00am that day and driving up PCH or whatever people want to do. I want to get a huge group to show off our Subarus and drive down towards huntington beach. The US Open of Surfing will be going on that day and will be a great way to catch everyones eye if they see a huge group of us driving through that area. Please post to this forum if you are gonna go! Any questions or advice is welcomed. I know it is in the middle of the week and most of us have jobs, but i figured it would be amazing weather and a fun drive to do during the summer of 2013 in California.

Yet despite the heroics of the previous campaign, the fact remained that Arsenal would not be competing in Europe for the 1980/81 season and they would have to make do without the talismanic Liam Brady. The midfielder had signed for Juventus for a paltry £500,000, when the Gunners had been talking of raking in £1.5 million if the Irishman signed for Manchester United. Maybe it was better that Brady was out of sight – if not out of mind – and within days of Brady's departure, Neill moved for QPR's exciting young striker Clive Allen, bringing him in for a whopping £1.2 million.
The conspiracy theories still rumble as to why Allen never kicked a ball in a full game for Arsenal (Neill maintains that Allen, Sunderland and Stapleton up front was akin to a "traffic jam"), but before the season even began, Allen was on his way to Crystal Palace, and full-back Kenny Sansom came in the other direction. It was all slightly bizarre, but Sansom remained a key player for the Gunners for the best part of a decade, and fellow Palace midfielder Peter Nicholas was given the unenviable task of trying to fill the void Brady left.
Ironically, given the gloom and doom enveloping N5 after Brady's departure, the team responded well in the league, finishing third - their highest position in eight years. There was a memorable final league home game that season, with Arsenal defeating Aston Villa 2-0 in front of over 57,000 fans, on the day the Midlands outfit were crowned champions. Yet the team crashed out of the early rounds of the domestic cups and rumours began circulating that Frank Stapleton, top scorer that season with 16 goals, wanted out. In the close season, Arsenal fans' worst fears were realised when he departed to Manchester United for £900,000.
The sense of disappointment was palpable, especially when no big-name replacements were brought in to replace Arsenal's departing striker. Neill placed his faith in a new crop of young Gunners – including Paul Davis, Chris Whyte, and Raphael Meade – and hoped that they would have the same impact that the Brady/Stapleton breed of starlets had had eight years earlier. But it was tough on Neill's 'new breed'.
Young striker and current Reading boss Brian McDermott explained: "We often felt the crowd's frustration, and we knew that they were disappointed with how things were going. Neill said (about Brady's and Stapleton's departure): 'How do you replace the irreplaceable?' and I guess he had a point. But it made life very hard for those of us who were still at Highbury."
Neill's youngsters finished a creditable fifth in 1981/82 but struggled in the league the following year, tailing off in 10th position as Liverpool won yet another league title in Bob Paisley's final season in charge. The nadir was reached when Tottenham routed Arsenal 5-0 at White Hart Lane, and Frank Stapleton returned to Highbury to haunt his former colleagues with a brace as United won 4-2 in the first leg of the Milk Cup semi-final to run out 6-3 winners on aggregate. United also beat the Gunners 2-1 in the FA Cup semi-final at Villa Park.
With crowds falling below the 20,000 mark, the team was struggling to move forward. Neill freely admitted that Arsenal were treading water, and even apologised to the supporters in the final league match of the '82/83 season at home to Sunderland. This was despite Neill bringing Cologne forward Tony Woodcock, and Red Star Belgrade playmaker Vladimir Petrovic to Highbury.
Woodcock, although inconsistent, added a touch of class to proceedings but the mercurial Yugoslav, despite some flashes of brilliance, struggled to find his feet in the hurly burly world of '80s football. In the 1983 close season, Neill took the plunge and for £650,000, signed Celtic starlet Charlie Nicholas, beating off competition from United and Liverpool in the process. The media glare on the 21 year-old was intense, and Nicholas, struggling with an ankle injury, didn't net a home goal until December - although he did display his penchant for the big occasion by scoring against Tottenham on three separate occasions that season.
Neill's Arsenal side was ludicrously inconsistent, perfectly illustrated by the fact that after they won at Spurs in the Milk Cup, Third Division Walsall travelled to Highbury and stunned the hosts by winning 2-1 in the next round. It was a shock almost as big as the one the Midlands outfit had inflicted on the Gunners half a century earlier, and few days later, Neill was sacked. "I'll never know how the team could have played so well against Tottenham, but then play like a bunch of pantomime horses against Walsall," Neill admitted as he departed Highbury.
Coach Don Howe stepped into the breach and Arsenal rallied after Christmas to finish sixth, partly thanks to the arrival of Ipswich and England striker Paul Mariner, who added a strong physical presence up front.
On paper, Howe had a strong side for the '84/85 campaign. England full-backs Sansom and Viv Anderson marauded forwards down the flanks, and in Davis, Stewart Robson, and Steve Williams, the nucleus of a strong midfield began to appear. With Nicholas and Woodcock in excellent early season form, the Gunners shot to the top of the table by mid October, the highlight of that dazzling spell a 3-1 home win over champions Liverpool in front of 50,000 at Highbury.
Yet again the wheels came off by Christmas, and Arsenal laboured home in seventh position. On January 26, 1985, York City completed one of the most infamous giant killings in FA Cup history, as a Keith Houchen penalty consigned the Gunners to humiliating exit.
It was a turbulent period in Arsenal's history, but Don Howe was about to unleash a new generation of Gunner which would enable the Club to rule English football by the end of the decade, albeit under a different managerial incumbent.
- During the Highbury UEFA Cup match against Belgian outfit Winterslag in 1981, substitute Willie Young had three 'goals' disallowed
- Midfielder Brian Talbot said his stunning free-kicks against Newcastle and Liverpool at the start of the '84/85 campaign were inspired by watching Michel Platini at the 1984 European Championships
- On the opening day of the 1983/84 campaign at home to Luton, the Club announced the start of the Junior Gunners. Daniel Quy had the honour of being Arsenal's first mascot

I so want to see those two cheaters faces when they get beaten . Really looking forward to that SO much >.< .
Ep 2 is out. Hype
This is what Mondaiji Tachi should've been. A mix of Liar Game and all your other "got sucked into a fantasy world game" animes.
The more i see that b!tch's face the more i want to see her beaten . And her accomplice that was hiding in the crowd . It just pisses me off when anime characters act all high and mighty thinking that they are better than everyone , there is always someone better that you at something and that will be Sora and Shiro when they kick their buttsies xD .
Ep. 12
Got my cherry popped. First time an anime has blown my mind this much.

Is it possible to pull that off with a Ford Distributor?
Interesting thing about this one is I don't have the keys. Where do i put the 12 volts to on the box and or the coil to get it to spark? I only need it to run for 30 minutes to stop the car from being towed....I have all new lock cylinders and keys but I can't "work" on it in the parking lot.Hooking up a couple of wires would be ok according to security. Read more: http://forums.carcraft.com/70/9382767/ford/68-mustang-with-msd-ignition-no-spark/#ixzz2HGE6VC9hwayne says...hire your own towing service to move the car...or hire a locksmith to change the ignition lock cylinder.. they will probably ask for ownership verification of the car and a valid ID... but thats easy...i don't feel comfortable posting info on how to start a car without a key on the forums
I'm with you Wayne? Bob
Since the replies to this have nothing to do with the original post. Can I do the january junkyard builder to a motorcraft efi distributor?
MSD boxes can be hooked directly to the Duraspark II distributer with 3 wires from the side of the housing.. black is ground... orange and purple are the signal voltage....some MSD distributers use the same basic design pick up coil and reluctor...on page 35 of the PN9615 MSD installation guide..shows the magnetic pickup pigtail connects to the duraspark 3 wire harness..the PN 8860 harness has a GREEN (-) wire that connects to the VIOLET duraspark wire.the MSD harness Violet wire hooks to the ORANGE duraspark wire.. one thing.. one will notice that the smaller red wire hooks to the OLD COIL positive wire harness.. and the black and orange wires hook to the ignition coil... thats because there is significant primary voltage on the orange and black wire.. this is why they are separated.. its also a good idea to add additional ground straps between the engine and the body.. and verify the battery negative cable terminal to the body connection is larger also... failure to add additional ground straps between parts MAY result in damaged MDS or any other brand components.. and since you are not the only one reading this.. i will explain why..the high voltage spark comes out of the coil tower.. thru the coil wire.. cap.. rotor , cap.. spark plug wires.. spark plug... cylinder head... block or intake.. but how does it make a complete circle back to the MSD box thick black wire???? shorten that path.... with additional properly installed ground straps.. check your private messages...
Wayne, thank you for the clear and thorough answer. I will indeed make sure that my car's grounds are as beefy and short as possible when I upgrade the ignition to the MSD parts I have waiting on the shelf. I had actually looked up the directions and wiring diagram probably as you were writing this.you are a font of knowledge and I appreciate your assistance.thank you
i am thinking that you are working on a 70 distributer... and being way far out... if you can find a duraspark ford V8 distributer.. but its the WRONG one.. don't worry.. let me go through a few things to convert point type V8 ford distributers to ford electronic duraspark units..on the electronic distributer... remove the reluctor by levering upwards with 2 screwdrivers to push it up the shaft.. don't loose the little roll pin... remove the vacuum advance clip.. then the 2 screws holding the vacuum advance.. then the 2 screws holding the breaker plate to the housing.. remove the advance and then the breaker plate..take a look down inside... note that the ends of the lever have limit/ stops.. }0______{ the other will not have a pin in it.. one is going to be longer than the other.. thats the limiting device.. how many degrees the mechanical advance has is on the flat plate.. you should try to find one with similar amounts to what your point type has...under the push on rotor and under the felt pad is a tiny wire... J_L kinda shaped like that ... you can grab one end and pull upward to gently remove it.. or get in a pry it open with 2 small scribes.. you will have to remove the advance springs first.. DO NOT DAMAGE THE WEIGHT BUSHINGS.. i have NOT FOUND A SOURCE FOR THOSE YET.. you can take the point type distributer apart and swap on the electronic distributers advance upper shaft... the breaker plate .. the reluctor .. you will have to saw the round opening where the primary wire came through the side of the housing. to make it a U shaped for the pick up coil harness..although the MSD diagram does NOT use the black wire to the ford pick up coil... i think i probably would.. and hook it directly to the big black ground wire into the msd box along the full sized power from the battery... so the high voltage actually has a shorter path to make the complete circle.. lets test the duraspark pickup coil... set ohm meter to 2K ohms... should read just under 1,000 ohms.. 500 to 1,500 is expected... before disconnecting.. flip the meter to 2 volts ac.. with it still hooked to the orange and violet.. spin the distributer shaft.. you need to see really close if not over 1.0 volts AC.. if it passes the resistance test. but fails the ac voltage output test.. either the gap is wrong.. or the reluctor is bad.. they do go bad.. i have posted this voltage drop testing chart on other threads... print it and use it...it will really help you solve crazy hard to find issues on cars..

Ion For Sale
Posted 20 December 2012 - 04:57 PM
Condition: 7/10
Color: Black
Upgrades: NDZ Feedneck
Known Problems: See below
Asking Price: $69 shipped Or Best Offer
Shipping Options: USPS w/delivery confirmation
Trades of interest: CASH
Location of item: MD
What is Included: Ion, NO BARREL
A good friend of mine hasn't been able to play for over 2 years because of working full time and going to school part time. He asked me to sell his Ion because it hasn't seen the light of day for a long time. I did some outer cleaning, but I didn't mess with the internals. There IS a leak coming from between the frame and the body. I did take out the frame screws and slide the body and frame apart, and as I did, the leak went away. It came back as I put the body and frame back into place. I'm guessing it's just because of the placement of the banjos/hoses. The marker still cycles with the leak, and the eyes work.
This would be great for converting to a mech! Sell the board and eyes for $25, and you've already cut down on the cost for a mech kit.
Thanks for looking!

It doesn't sound as strong as a leaky macroline fitting does, but I don't know if it's more or less significant in terms of air loss. He's had this Ion for years, I think it's safe to say the o-rings around the banjos are probably starting to wear down.

BISHOP GUILTY: Kansas City Bishop Robert Finn is found guilty in a Jackson County courtroom of failing to report an abusive priest to state authorities. Finn is the first Catholic bishop in the country convicted of failing to report suspected child abuse.
GOOGLE DEADLINE: Midnight Sunday is the final deadline to sign up for Google Fiber. But who's taking advantage of the ultra-high speed Kansas City experiment and who's being left behind?
OVERLAND PARK ARBORETUM: The American Family Association this week says it's a step closer to getting the sculpture of a bare-breasted woman taking her own picture removed. The group delivers 4,700 signatures to the Johnson county Clerk. If enough signatures are verified, a grand jury would be convened in 60 days. The grand jury, according to news accounts, will decide if the artwork will stay or go and if charges would be filed against council members.
RESIGNATION LETTERS: Why KCMO Mayor Sly James has been asking for the signed but undated resignation letters off all the appointees to every board and commission under his purview?

text: Hi everyone, I'm sorry to say I havn't been on here in a long time. I've been gone so long I can't even find the last post I made on here months before. Anyways now that I'm back. I'll just get right to the point I want to make a Jango Fett Costume. When I was at Star Wars Celebration IV and I saw all the call Jango Fett and Boba Fett costumes. I knew that I had to have a Jango Fett Costume of my own. I have no idea how to get started making a Jango Fett Costume. But I know I'm in the right place to learn how. Jango Fett is so cool, and I would love to have my own Jango Fett Costume, and maybe with it even join the 501st someday.

Washington, D.C. -- The U.S. Office of Personnel Management will conduct a public-private competition to acquire software, integration, hosting and application management services for the agency's new financial management and procurement systems. The competition will be held according to Financial Management Line-of-Business guidelines and conducted by the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2007.
The competition will result in the selection of a public- or private-sector Shared Service Center (SSC) with a demonstrated experience to leverage Financial Systems Integration Office (FSIO) certified Custom off the Shelf (COTS) technology, expertise and other resources to achieve the best value for OPM and the taxpayer.
The decision to migrate to an SSC is based on OPM's need to enhance the agency's ability to generate accurate and timely financial information, facilitate future upgrades and support, and implement recent FSIO certified enhancements.
To this end, OPM and the Bureau of the Public Debt have terminated joint efforts to implement a tailored solution.

Derrick Bligh
Iona College baseball senior RHP Derrick Bligh was named the Buffalo Wild Wings Student-Athlete of the Week after a great MAAC relief apperance against Siena.
Bligh tossed five innings of shutout relief in two appearances last week. In Iona's 2-1 win over Siena on Friday, Bligh allowed a hit and a walk and recorded one strikeout in four innings to earn his second victory of the season. He entered the contest in the fourth inning with two on and no out and stranded the bases loaded while preserving Iona's lead. After allowing a walk to open the fifth, Bligh retired nine straight batters to end the contest.

Salt Lake Acting Company's new comedy, "Manning Up," transforms the theater's old chapel into a man cave, complete with Yankees memorabilia, a beer-stocked mini fridge and movie posters from "Scarface" and "Good Fellas."
Sean Christopher Lewis' script mines the clichés of contemporary manhood, as two friends, Donnie and Raymond, (Lanny Langston and Jesse Peery), an English literature professor and an actor consider the implications of the impending deliveries of their pregnant wives.
The best part of "Manning Up" is its central idea, the potential of crafting a bromance comedy out of the fears of fatherhood-to-be. The jokes, about pickle-and-licorice cravings and what a baby in the womb does when their parents are having sex, will hit familiar notes for anyone who is pregnant like me, now four months along. Or, for that matter, anyone who has ever known a pregnant woman. Has there ever been a pregnant woman who hasn't joked about the alien being who has taken over her body?
But jokes aside, the heart of a broromance is the central relationship, and the 30-something characters of Donnie, who's characterized in the script as "a bit of a fop," and Raymond, who reveals himself to be a contemporary caveman, aren't developed beyond broad stereotype in Lewis' script.
The clichés of baseball, through the mouths of these characters, serve as a handy contrivance, rather than a literal metaphor that would have helped plow fresh and deeper ground. On opening night, Langston and Peery seemed to rush the delivery in the first act, turning many of the jokes into throwaway lines. They found their way to a better pace in the second act, where their chemistry was most evident in the strength of their physical acting and comic timing.
For actors, 90 minutes on stage in one room no matter how charming the props, lighting and set design is a tough slough. And the script of "Manning Up" reveals a contemporary "Odd Couple" problem: Donnie's neurotic character seems too effeminate to have anything in common with Raymond's rough-edged beer swiller. Langston's delivery, under Tracy Callahan's direction, doesn't overcome that script flaw.
Similarly, as an actor, Peery has a strong, likable presence, but his consistently ironic delivery doesn't help him illuminate the character's highs and lows as Raymond faces his deepest fears.
Some of the jokes landed with my husband, an expectant father-to-be, yet he wasn't convinced of the believability of the friendship until late in the second act. And he remained hung up on the absence of what should be the centerpiece of any man cave the man chair the beaten-up brown leather recliner that's likely to have beer stains and potato chips permanently crumbled between the arms and the seat cushion.
As a comedy, "Manning Up" remains content to be likable enough, and many of its jokes hit the collective funny bones of the opening-night audience. But in the post-Judd Apatow comedy era, this story works best as a springboard to another kind of conversation, one less concerned with contrived issues and more aware of the nuances of contemporary fatherhood.
Review: 'Manning Up'
Father-to-be "men's issues" comedy finds strength in physical comedy, although script doesn't deliver enough genuine emotion.

Fox News Figures Demand That Countries Pay For U.S. Military Presence
Research ››› ››› ZACHARY PLEAT
Several Fox News figures have recently demanded that countries hosting an American military presence reimburse the U.S. financially.
Fox News Hosts Have Demanded Iraqi Oil As Reimbursement For Invasion
Beck On Iraq: "We Take The Oil To A Certain Point" To "Pay Us Back." From Glenn Beck's radio show:
GLENN BECK: Here's the problem. We went in and we freed Iraq. Now, we may not like what it looks like, but it is certainly better than the torture chambers. You know, if you really want to go back there, it'd be great if we would have not killed Saddam Hussein. And at this point we would have just said, you know what guys, if you want him back, we got him in a prison, we'll just give him back to you. And we got all the Ba'athists and everything else, yeah, yeah, you know what, we're just going to put them all back. Instead what we did is we killed him, and everybody forgets how bad it was, and then we give the oil to somebody else. How did we not get at least the oil to repay us for what we did?
BECK: I'm not saying that we take the oil - and, you know, we take the oil and we get it now for all time. We take the oil to a certain point. We say, this is what this war cost, you're paying this back. And we're gonna take the oil - not all of it, we're gonna let you have money, etc, etc. But we're gonna take off the side, you pay us back for this amount of money. Period. And we never did it.
PAT GRAY: Seems fair.
BECK: Seems absolutely fair. [Premiere Radio Networks, The Glenn Beck Program, 4/1/11]
Hannity: "The Iraqis, With All Their Oil Resources, Need [To] Pay Us Back For Their Liberation." From Sean Hannity's Fox News interview with Gary Johnson:
SEAN HANNITY: I actually have had an idea. Nobody listens to little old Sean Hannity. But I'm like, I think the Iraqis, with all their oil resources, need pay us back for their liberation. Every single solitary penny.
GARY JOHNSON: I really -
JOHNSON: I really thought that from the beginning.
HANNITY: Yes.
JOHNSON: I thought -- I was kind of part of the deal.
HANNITY: Should have been part of the deal. Right?
JOHNSON: Should have been part of the deal.
HANNITY: I think it should be now. I think they owe us a lot for that. [Fox News, Hannity, 5/7/10, via Nexis]
Fox & Friends Nods In Agreement With Trump On Iraq: "We Should Just Stay There And Take The Oil." From Fox News regular guest Donald Trump's weekly segment on Fox & Friends:
GRETCHEN CARLSON: Did you get any fallout, Donald, from your comments about what America should did in Iraq, after your interview with O'Reilly?
DONALD TRUMP: No, I tell ya, I had an amazing response from the O'Reilly show. It's probably the biggest show he's ever done in the sense of three fairly full nights of me--
BRIAN KILMEADE: Yeah.
CARLSON: [laughing]
TRUMP: And he was very happy, 'cause as he will tell you, his ratings were phenomenal. So he was very, very happy.
STEVE DOOCY: Sure.
TRUMP: But we had three really amazing nights. And no, I very simply said that Iran is going to take over Iraq, and if that's going to happen, we should just -
KILMEADE: Stay.
TRUMP: Stay there and take the oil. They want the oil. And why should we -- we denuded Iraq, Iran's gonna walk in, take it over, take over the second largest oil fields in the world. That's going to happen. That would mean that all of those soldiers that have died and been wounded and everything else would have died in vain--
DOOCY: Right.
TRUMP: And I don't want that to happen. I want them to be -- I want their parents and their families to be proud. The last thing I want to see happen is for Iran to go in and take over Iraq and the oil fields of Iraq, because we weakened that country to a point where they can just walk in. So I say, we take the oil.
CARLSON: [laughing]
TRUMP: You know, in the old days, when you won a war, to the victor belong the spoils. You kept it.
DOOCY: Sure.
TRUMP: We win a war, and we hand it over to some people we don't know, and we leave. [Fox News, Fox & Friends, 4/4/11]
Hannity Also Said Of Kuwait: "We Have Every Right To Go In There And Frankly, Take All Their Oil And Make Them Pay For The Liberation." On his Fox News show, Sean Hannity said:
HANNITY: All right, one other thing. I interviewed Donald Trump earlier this week and we were talking about OPEC and it infuriates me, gas is now going up to three, four, five dollars a gallon again. You know, we're going to head up into that territory, which is another tax on the American people.
We have all this oil in this country. Every time the oil debate comes up, we get lectured, oh it's going to take years to do it. We could literally do this immediately and here it is Kuwait, this country would not exist for us and their oil minister is out there lecturing us and basically said, no, no, you can handle that. Get used to it. We're going to jack it up.
JANIE JOHNSON: Wondering when the liberals are going to blame the high prices on Bush and Cheney?
HANNITY: That's going to happen, too.
ELISE JORDAN: It's just so disgusting. I really think we need to use our leverage here against these autocrats and not be pushed around when we're the ones securing Kuwait.
We're the ones securing the Saudis and they're bragging, you know, now, $100 a barrel. But what I think is interesting though, they aren't factoring in Iraq and Iraq's increased oil production over the next --
HANNITY: But there's two things I said. I said, why isn't Iraq paying us back with oil and paying every American family and their soldiers that lost loved ones and have injured soldiers, and why didn't they pay for their own liberation?
For the Kuwait oil minister, how short his memory is? You know, we have every right to go in there and frankly, take all their oil and make them pay for the liberation as these sheiks, et cetera, et cetera, you know, were living in hotels in London and New York as Trump pointed out and now they're gouging us and say, of course we can withstand that. [Fox News, Hannity, 1/14/11]
Fox News Figures Have Also Demanded Arab Countries Pay For Libya Intervention
Beck On Libya: "I Tell You What: We'll Help You, You Write Us a Big, Fat Check." From Beck's radio show:
BECK: Let me ask you this. The Arab nations all get together, and they're like, "oh, you got to help us with Libya." Well why aren't you paying for it? I tell you what: we'll help you, you write us a big, fat check right now. Otherwise, what are we sending an aircraft carrier over there for? What are we doing? You pay for it. [Premiere Radio Networks, The Glenn Beck Program, 4/1/11]
Fox's Varney, Payne, And Willis Want Arab League "Charge[d]" For Libya Intervention. From Fox's Cavuto on Business:
STUART VARNEY: Well, talk about getting stuck with the bill. The pentagon says we're spending $55 million a day on this war that is not a war, a number that will be on low end. And we're still shelling out the dough, even though we've passed off control to our NATO allies. And get this; the Arab League, which pushed the non-war, is bashing America in this non-war. It's not required to pay anything. Gerri, this is a bad check.
GERRI WILLIS: Well, it's not required to pay a dime. The Arab League said, hey, let's have a no-fly zone, but we're not going to give you any money for it. In the meantime, they're gonna make a trillion dollars this year from oil profits, because oil's gone a hundred bucks a barrel. So, that's not good news. Those 22 nations in the Arab League, they're really benefitting from the work we're doing over there, and our allies, because if we're gonna bring peace to the region, it's gonna be more stable, yet we're footing the bill.
VARNEY: So, should we charge 'em?
WILLIS: Yes.
VARNEY: Charles Payne, should we charge 'em?
CHARLES PAYNE: Yeah, well, we should charge them, but also you know, Italy, Greece, I mean, Italy, France, let's be honest, I mean they needed this more than anybody needed this. And I don't know if we're returning a favor or what exactly is going on. By the way, this is looking already like the Bay of Pigs, 2011 version. And so, this $55 million number is going to go a lot higher, because we're going to have to expend more Tomahawks to try and turn this thing around, because these rebels have no clue what they're doing, no leadership. But the whole thing is really very, very interesting because of this war that is not a war, and the fact that we're once again footing the bill, and we really don't still at this point -- despite the president's address -- we still don't know why we're over there.

text: Even if the goal was given which put the game at 2-2, I still think Germany would win the game. Will England be on the attack mode like they did in the 2nd half when they were down, absolutely not. The game would be similar to the first 30 minutes from the start where Germany created more opportunities. Germany deserves the victory. The starting 11 of the England team are a bunch of spoiled brats, being paid too much money to play the game at club level where playing the country is not important anymore. The whole team other than Steven Gerard played with no heart. No matter who coaches this team, the result would be the same. Too many prima donnas in the squad.

Discussion in 'Great Skate Debate' started by Iceman, Feb 4, 2012.
This is old news... weird Daily Mail is bringing it up again.
Old, old news, but it gets her attention, and Kat is the absolute QUEEN when it comes to getting attention.
Very old but it probably wasn't even reported here in the UK when it actually was news. Difference is that Witt is now a judge on Dancing On Ice and she's doing well so the DM will go a digging
Ah but they don't say "with whom". THAT might be news.
Why a ?
Shouldn't she say what happenend?
The communist regime spied on lots of people day in day out and I imagine it most be horrifying to find that out years later.
Eyeroll because this is the equivalent of DM reporting that Yuna Kim won Olympic Gold in 2010. Old news.
Ah, okay. Thanks. I wasn't aware that it was old news around the World and not just here in Germany.
how old is the article ?
Katarina Witt had sex ?
I wonder if the tape is available in BetaMax.
I remember hearing about it way back when it first reported--so it was talked about in the States. But I don't remember if it was in the papers/news, or if it was Kat talking about it in some interview for some skating thing, or in a skating magazine.
Old brain can remember some stuff, not all details!
Um...when did Jutta Mueller become a man? About 1988, apparently. Now *that* is new news
(see the caption to the black and white picture about 2/3 of the way through the text).
Not only is it old news, but it's not just that she claims it. The proof is in her Stassi files. They really did listen to her having sex.
That definitely made me do a double- take and google "Jutta Mueller sex change".
As for Stasi spying on everything- I wouldn't doubt it.
Wasn't Witt in Stasi?
That was what some people claimed but the Stasi records (which are now public) don't support this allegation.
I think Witt benefited greatly from the system in East Germany and knows it. But that's different from being a Stasi spy.
Richard Dean Anderson, a/k/a McGyver! He showed her how to use certain everyday household items when a ****** wasn't available.
Old news? It's ancient. I remember hearing about this not too long after the Berlin wall came down.
THIS! I remember the Stassi files scandal-they spied on people even from childhood!
I remember Witt laughing this off in a chat with Roy & HG during Australia's coverage of the 2002 Winter Olympics.
Her interview was so funny.
Yes, my annoyance was with the regime and was a "you have got to be kidding" that they would do that. Of course, J Edgar Hoover in the US was always looking in people's bedrooms, so I guess I shouldn't be surprised at who does it.
Jeez, they only listened!!!!! lmao Some of the younger fans probably never had heard this and even this old one hadn't . lol
Well, I'm sure the spies didn't mind having that assignment...
And some of the younger fans probably never heard about, or saw Katarina Witt !
Make one think what the investigators themselves were doing while they were listening. Hmm
Haha agreed definitely the best part!!
I don't know. How exciting is it to listen to people have sex for 7 minutes? Now if they were watching as well, I could see it, but just listening was probably more annoying than anything.
According to her biography lots was made up anyway. She speculated that this was because most of her spies did not speak English. So the reports when she had a guest where more like: Kati and guest talk in foreign language. She laughed about it in her diary saying that at one point Brian Boitano was there as her guest and the Stasi spy wrote that they had had sex for 7 minutes when Brian never was interested in women anyway and when they definitely never had sex but that probably the spy thought that he had to write something
Yes, weak western capitalist champion only has stamina for 7 minutes of sex with beautiful woman, not like our virile eastern block men!
Maybe it actually was Jutta and she was just having a really bad hair day...

Shorter Time Span for Kid's Allergy Shots
Nearly 7 million children in the United States suffer with asthma. While allergies and asthma are two different conditions, allergies often trigger asthma. Allergy shots can be very helpful in managing asthma and allergies, but usually require a 3 to 5 year commitment.
Polish researchers now say long-term control of allergic asthma can occur after only three years of allergy shots, instead of the currently recommended five years.
Dr. Iwona Stelmach of the Medical University of Lodz in Poland and colleagues said immunotherapy, or allergy shots, can alter the progression of allergic disease. Treatment, Stelmach said, alleviates patients of symptoms, while preventing asthma and the development of other allergies.
"The recommended duration of immunotherapy for long-term effectiveness has been three to five years," Stelmach, the study's lead author, said in a statement. "Our research shows that three years is an adequate duration for the treatment of childhood asthma associated with house dust mites. An additional two years adds no clinical benefit."
Dr. James Sublett, an allergist who is chairman of the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology's Indoor Environment Committee, said not only does the shorter period of shots provide long-term therapeutic benefits for both children and adults, it can reduce total healthcare costs by 33 percent to 41 percent.
"It has long been observed that the effectiveness of allergy shots continue long after treatment has been completed," Sublett said. "
The Polish study was published in the Annals of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology.
Allergy-shots help build the immune system to fight specific allergens.
Some of the most common allergens are dust mites, pet dander, pollen, molds and cockroaches. Certain foods can also cause an allergic reaction as well as insect stings, medicines and chemicals.
The shots contain a purified form of the allergens that are causing problems. The dosage of the allergen is gradually increased over the first 4 to 5 months to a monthly maintenance dose, which is usually given for up to three to five years. Your child might not get symptom relief from allergies until higher doses are achieved at the end of the buildup phase. Once the highest effective and safe dose is reached, the frequency of shots gradually decreases to weekly, then biweekly, and then possibly monthly.
Allergy shots are safe and effective and can be given to children as young as 4 or 5 years old.
The American College of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology offers these tips to parents to make sure their kids receive allergy shots safely:
- Allergy shots should be administered only under the supervision of an allergist/immunologist or other doctor specifically trained in immunotherapy.
- A child who is ill, especially with asthma or respiratory difficulties, should not receive further allergy shots until a doctor says it's safe.
- To avoid adverse interactions, tell the doctor administering the injections beforehand of any current medications your child is taking.
Allergen immunotherapy isn't necessary for everyone with allergies. Many kids get along fine by living in homes that are as free as possible of allergens or by taking allergy medication during peak allergy season.
But many children battle allergies year-round, and some can't control their symptoms with medications. For them, allergen immunotherapy can be beneficial.
If your child suffers from asthma or chronic allergies, you might want to contact your pediatrician or family doctor and talk to him or her about allergy shots.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
I like the idea of a blower but i guess i like the Roots type blowers the best... and you should be able to find one for your 289.
We raced a '60 Ford with a 289 K-code on dirt tracks in '70 and '71. Once we started spinning that engine we started running really well. One night, with a 4.11 gear on a 1/4 mile track, the 2/3 shift linkage came off so my buddy grabbed 1st gear... and went from the back to the front to finish second in the main (24 car field)... never missed a lick.
Great engine...good luck.
Do not go over .500 of lift or 268 / 223 duration . It will be the worst driving car and loose street manners. Some people will go .650 lift but talk to a machine shop and ask the prfessional about a 302 with a .650 lift cam. All kinds are out there. Some people think huge cams, 4000 stalls and winding to 6500 is cool. Not my cup of tea, my vehicle needs to be serviceable and last.
You can do anything with enough money. My neighboor finished a old rat pickup flat bed with a transplanted 500 v8 cadilac with FWD from a late 70's eldorado. It had twin unshrouded , stripped painted, puller electric fans, no grill , and looked like a twin prop airplane getting ready to take off from a stoplight. A fat cam and spooled front transaxle, made it a unusual beast that was driven up from arizona. It was lowered , chopped, had suicide pop doors, a tailgate ramp system. Hauled with all torque power, and that is a incredible feeling. Not that winding scary feeling like how far is he gonna wind it. Whatever..
Superchargers are much fun and the way to make a 302 go. My 305 GM is E forced with a eaton 122, and what a difference. They work. You can flip the log exh manifolds and turbo charge it cheap. NO2 is not allowed on the street and not a option for a useable power adder, unless you race it only. Either way you can make a good driver over 1 hp / per inch easy. My 305 with 6 psi at 5200rpm is around 350 fwhp. Pretty hot for a 305, anyone who disagrees is missing the point of that type of build. A 305 in 1985 made 140hp . To add 210 hp is a hot 305.
|Be sure to keep compression low. 8.5:1 or under.

That's all I'm going to say...
|Oh yeah I'm not limiting myself to paxtOn I know that there not reliable over 8-12 pounds of boost at most. What would be the best thing to do get some good heads and not go crazy on a cam right now since I'll have to get a custom grind blower cam anyways. I have a hei distributor right now will I have to change anything else for it though? I'm in the process of putting a better ring and pinion in and getting a trans cooler put on. I know right off I'm getting heads, then a decent cam to hold me over, then get the supercharger, and a new carb. Will it be too hard to time and time it with an hei and a carb??
|I was just using the paxton blower as an example. The brand is up to the person buying it of course.
|Mr. P-Body
Prior to 1968, 289 was the "big" small block. 351 didn't arrive until late '68. Shelby was out of the Mustang "business" by then, Ford was producing the GTs. He chose 289 because some schmuck at Chevy told him to take a hike when the Cobra project was trying to gear up. He wanted 327 for obvious reasons. Instead, he ended up "sticking it" to Chevy (ZL-1 never quite became the Cobra-beater it was supposed to be).
By today's standards, Paxton is pretty old. A reliable design, true. But Pro-Charger seems to be the modern belt-driven blower of choice for streeters. At least look into it. I've seen some pretty impressive performance from them and zero reliability issues. Much better than Vortec or Paxton, IMO. It's a belt-driven turbine, giving the "best of both worlds". Little (if any) parasitic loss and no "lag".
If you go for a "blower build", you really should consult with a cam grinder and get a blower-specific grind that will still provide you the low-speed drivability you need. You may not find exactly what you need in a catelog. "Custom" grinds are no big deal, and if you leave the designing to the cam engineers, it WILL work the way they say it will. Some of the "spookiness" of custom grinds are the people calling out the specs.
A word of caution. It's a common misconception that a blower motor doesn't "need" really good heads. It is, afterall, pressurized. Right? WRONG. While the heads don't need to flow "big numbers" a supercharged or turbocharged engine needs as "clean" a flow path as possible. Any obstructions or variances cause turbulence, which in turn heats the mixture. This will rob some power and increase the potential for detonation. Don't scrimp on heads...
Go get 'em!
|You'd love it. And remeber superchargers don't have lag so the off idle power will be a thousand times better than it is without the blower
|I think boost would be perfect because unless I get down on it it's not killin gas like a high compression motor would be if I tried to drive it down the road. It would probably drive like balls until I hit some boost but with the broad rom range this short stroke would love it (revs to the moon!) basically with this little motor it's pointless to go out here and find the worlds best flowing heads period and spend all that money going through more expensive engine parts that I might see minimal gains with I could spend a little more money and increase my hp by 25-50%. I was talking to this engine builder around town and he said the 289s love boost that's why Shelby used them, they revved higher than the 351s with the lighter rotating assembly. I think instead of spending lots of money on top notch heads and am for a little 289 it would be more efficient to get a decent set of heads and cam that match powerbands and what not and just save what's left towards a Paxton????
|Mr. P-Body
We built 289s like they were "goin outta style" in the early '70s. I've never seen a forged 289 crank. I'm sure SOMEBODY must have made one, but not Ford, at least to my knowledge. My brother had a '65 "K" Code with the 271 HP 289, "virgin". It was a nodular crank. Ford's connecting rods, on the otherhand, are "art". 289 rods are popular in the "stock class" crowd for cheating up a 302.
The reason I even mentioned the strokers, was because torque is more important to a street engine than high-end hoirsepower. 289s are "torque-impaierd"... Simply another "option".
When in high school (1971), Kenny Baker bought a '65 "K" Code that had the Paxton. Emil (the guy he bought it from) claimed it was "original:" that way. I have no data to conf0rm that. It ran 11.80s in 1971... Once he wore the blower out, it wouldn't get out of its own way!
If you have forged internals already then you should definitely go forced induction. Check this out Paxton 1001864SL Paxton Superchargers
It would be perfect for this application. You dont have to push crazy boost of anything, a modest 5lbs would be good. And since you don't have heads yet, just find some that give you about an 8.5:1 compression ratio and you will be more than happy with your car.
|Keep in mind that it'll take less cam and port size to turn 7k with a 289 than with a 350 or a 302 for that matter. Something in the 270 advertized range will be fun to drive and easy on parts. High 13s with a 289 might be iffy, but if your serious about the 70/30 thing be careful not to build a really fast turd.
|The way I understood the OP's original post is looking to get a good matching combo for the street that will be better and reliable. Sure a 331 or 347 would do it much better but at the added cost maybe that's not what the OP was looking at getting into. If it were me I would do as I originally said and just run a set of factory gt40 heads and a roller cam. It doesn't sound like your too serious into the racing and favor street driving. Which ever you decide good luck to ya.
after reading
Mr. P-Body s post,I may have been a little too conservative. What he said I totally agree with.7k plus rpm might be the answer?

text: Natalia Almada MFA 01 | documentary filmmaker A 2012 recipient of a MacArthur "genius award," Natalia Almada is the first Latina filmmaker to be so honored since the MacArthur Fellows program was founded in 1981. Each of her provocative documentaries is marked by a quiet, muscular empathy trained on social and political realities in Mexico, where she's based. Almada found RISD's graduate program in Photography to be "very conceptually rigorous, very experimental," offering an open-ended approach that ultimately led her to film. She now says that making affecting documentaries is "mostly a question of being patient, of paying attention, and being aware and awake."→

Names' Acrylikhan, and I'm slightly new to the Dented Helmet. I've lurked here under several names over the past two years, but I think it's time to start posting. I'm a regular at BSN, still scratch building my Scout Trooper armor.
My nephews, who have recently returned from their duties in Iraq, are settling back into semi-active duty status. Both of them are looking for Boba Fett costumes, and looking at me to help (actually BUILD it for them).
I look forward to meeting everyone, and getting any tips tricks, templates and other what not.
Hello! :lol
