not enough room
i would run a clutch fan, but space is limited, is there ne other way, i know the timing is advanced but im not sure by how much, i have a friend thatll check it out, but if the timing aint it, then im not sure what to do, ne suggestions.?
|Woaaaa!!! Man it hit 260*?? Geez, I **** myself if I see mine creeping up slowly past the 230 mark That can't be good for your tranny either and other stuff starts breaking down and cooking but blah blah blah, enough of my nagging. 99% agree completely with tm454 about his advice. Go with a belt driven fan if space permits and definately have a shroud to direct the flow through the radiator and don't be the dummy who installs the fan backwards lol. Only thing I don't agree about/not sure about is the watter wetter stuff, I'm pretty skeptical about it working but it might so give it a try. That mother of an engine's going to be a lil tougher to keep cooler but see if you can switch to a clutch fan setup like was mentioned before or a good "production" not aftermarket, electric fan. That new water pump won't really help you at all so don't be surprised if that doesn't fix it.
Keeping it cool
Check your timing..if it's advanced to much your engine will run a bit hotter than usual and be difficult to start when hot. Add water wetter to the coolant, that will help drop the temp just a bit also. Do you have the correct water to coolant percentage...50/50 mix is suggested. Run a fan shroud to direct the air flow through the radiator and not around it. Don't run one of those light-weight 4 blade fans, they don't pull enough air to cool the radiator, use a stock 5 blade and or one with a fan clutch..please get back to us and tell us if this helps solve your problem.
I need some Advice
I need some advice, I have an 83 Firebird with a 455 gto engine in it,its got ported and polished heads, a 4 angle valve job, bored 60 over, having a little problem keeping it cool, ive changed the thermostat to a 190 degree, got an afco racing radiator along with 2 electric fans and it was hitting 260 degrees, good thing i dont have aluminum heads or i would have warped them, i recently jus bought a miloden high volume water pump... what are the chances thats gonna be able to help it keep cool?

Maximum pressure is determined by the tightness of the oil pressure bypass spring.
If it is a 60 psi spring setting, then all the oil volume that creates pressure will bypass when the valve opens therefore limiting the pressure to that chosen 60 psi.
If your situation is showing an actual amount of 85 (or whatever) that is obviously LESS than the amount needed to open the pressure bypass valve.
Needless to say, hotter thinner oil will not create as much pressure per rpm.
IMO you definitely have a high pressure pump.
I prefer backing the spring down to 60-65 psi maximum.
Basically the difference between a high volume pump and a standard pump is the size of the gears, high volume having a longer set of gears in a deeper cavity, or more teeth in a wider cavity. These move more oil which will show itself as a higher pressure at lower RPMs than a standard capacity pump. This assumes back to back testing on the same engine with the same bearing clearances as pressure in an engine is the difference between the volume the pump puts in against what leaks out the bearing clearance and/or is popped off by the relief valve.
Pressure, or more exactly maximum pressure, is established by the spring force controlling the relief valve. This is independent of pump size, it's just that a larger volume pump gets to the relief pressure at a lower RPM than does a standard capacity pump.
Often people shim the spring or replace it with a stiffer one on standard volume pumps to increase their maximum pressure. These will show more pressure than a standard pump once the RPMs reach a point where the relief valve opens. Below that point the pressure will look like a regular production pump.
A high volume pump may also be configured to provide more maximum pressure, again, with a shimmed or a stiffer replacement relief valve spring. These will show more pressure everywhere when compared to a high volume pump with a standard pressure relief spring.
There are a number of us hanging out in these parts that feel the SBC does not have enough at and off idle oil pressure for hard working engines, we, therefore, are proponents of high volume pumps to boost lower RPM pressure. There's just as many folks hanging around these parts that feel the standard pump is just fine. Where you live probably has a lot to do with this; here in the mountainous and deserty west it always struck me that the warranty replacement of failed SBC bottom ends justified more pump and heavier oils than these energy savings types in engines that have to put out hard work from point A to B. Especially in these hotter running, higher geared EFI engines, I think it's easy to get these to lugging when hot and the oil film in this low pressure 0W-nothing swill gives up on a long mountain grade at 120 degrees of outside air temp and 220-250 degrees of coolant temp.
Before you do anything....why don't you call the engine builder and ask him which pump he installed???? While you're at it ask him about running 5w30, also as mentioned before, if your clearances are tight then the 10w40 might be a little thick. You could try some 10w30 and see what you get for pressure but it won't make too dramatic of a change.
I've got a stock Melling's M-55 in my 331" sbc and cold I peg the 80 psi gauge. You'll find that most guy's on this forum use the stock M-55 pump, the high volume, high pressure just isn't needed on a street car and in fact can be detrimental in some cases as you eluded to in your original thread.
Thanks 68NovaSS and Jsup.
My guess was the high oil pressure was due to tight tolerances and was just concerned if I should worry about anything. I was having some issues of possibly oil blow-by past the rings and while investigating I was curious if high oil pressure could attribute to the problem, maybe too much oil in the cylinders and some is getting past the rings ? I was running 10W30 and changed to 10W40 due to my other problem.
Go to 5-30. I couldn't get my needle to stay in the gauge, topping 80 PSI even at idle, with 10-40. With 5-30 it sits about 60 PSI and up close to 80 under load.
|The amount of oil pressure you see is dependant on much more than the pump installed, i.e. bearing clearances play a major role. Impossible to guess what pump you have.
Do I have a high volume or high pressure oil pump ?
I have a 383 stroker (less 1K on build) with a 7qt oil pan (total system capacity with oil filter almost 8 qts); running 10W40. I just installed a sunpro electric oil pressure gauge and at cold idle (600-1K RPM) I am seeing ~75PSI and ~85PSI at RPM. When the engine is warmed up to operating temp (160 F) I am seeing a drop in oil pressure at both idle and higher RPMS of ~10PSI to ~65PSI (Idle) and ~75PSI at higher RPMs (numbers approximate). I was wondering if anybody had a thought if the engine builder possibly put a high volume/high pressure oil pump in ? Thanks.

Guest | May 10, 2013
By Guest • Friday, May 10, 2013 - 10:47
This is a guest post by Joe Romm, cross-posted from ClimateProgress with permission.
It's tempting to grade the President on a curve, but future generations won't – if we destroy the livable climate they'll need to feed 9 billion people.
"History does not forgive us our national mistakes because they are explicable in terms of our domestic politics…. A nation which excuses its own failures by the sacred untouchableness of its own habits can excuse itself into complete disaster." – George Kennan, 1951.
Readers have asked my opinion of Jonathan Chait's New York magazine column: "Obama Might Actually Be the Environmental President." His sub-hed tells the tale:
His climate-change policy has been an abject failure, says Al Gore and just about everyone else. They're wrong. Here's why.
It's quite safe to say that, at the very least, it is wildly premature to say Obama hasn't been an abject failure and pretty safe to say that he is – at least from the perspective of future generations and history's judgment. That was the point of my election night post, "Obama Wins Reelection, Now Must Become A Climate Hawk To Avoid Dust-Bin Of History, Dust Bowl For America."
While I usually agree with Grist's inimitable climate hawk, Dave Roberts, I'm not down with, "Seems to me Chait mostly gets it right." Like Chait, Roberts wants to grade Obama on a curve, "The question for me is whether Obama has been a success compared to what was (and is) possible."
As I'll discuss below, I think Obama is a failure on those grounds, too. But it can't be repeated too often that Obama's legacy will be determined primarily by whether we avert catastrophic climate change.
If we don't, then Obama — indeed, the entire political system, the media and the intelligentsia, heck, all of us — will be seen as failures, and rightfully so. As a 2012 PricewaterhouseCoopers report makes clear, anything other than aggressive efforts to slash carbon pollution starting ASAP likely means 7°F to 11°F warming globally by 2100 (with more warming next century). That would cause substantially higher warming over most of the U.S. It would leave much of the "breakbasket of the world" (and indeed much of the world's arable and habitable land) in Dust Bowl conditions much worse than this nation has ever known. By mid-century, the nation and the world will be engaged in a desperate multi-decade effort to figure out how to feed nine billion people on a planet whose carrying capacity has been gutted.
If we don't stop climate catastrophe, then calling Obama the "environmental president" because of all his other, well-documented environmental accomplishments is like, well, the old line, "Other than that Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?"
The point of Kennan's quote above is that history doesn't grade us on a curve. And in this case, we'd be graded for a millenium of multiple, simultaneous, ever-worsening, irreversible disasters foisted on future generations because we were too greedy and myopic to devote even a small fraction of our wealth to getting off of carbon a few decades sooner than we were forced to anyway! Not exactly "the greatest generation."
Here is the only curve future generations will grade us on if we allow it to happen, if we destroy the stable climate of the past 11,000 years that enabled modern civilization:
Temperature change over past 11,300 years (in blue, via Science, 2013) plus projected warming this century on humanity's current emissions path (in red, via recent literature).
But even if we ignore Kennan and take the narrow, short-term perspective – which, it must be pointed out, is the kind of thinking that has gotten us into this mess – and try to imagine what Obama could have done differently, he still can only get an incomplete (that could convert to a D at best, and an F- in most plausible scenarios).
The entire premise of Chait's piece is that the failure to pass a climate bill isn't fatal to Obama's legacy because, near the end of his 8-year presidency, Obama is going to embrace tough carbon pollution standards for existing power plants along the lines of what the Natural Resources Defense Council has proposed (see here). Modified rapture!
Now I don't think one can discount the fact that using the EPA to deal with carbon opens the door to significant delay through the courts. Worse, if the Republicans can ever figure out how to win the presidency again, they could slow, stop, or roll back the whole thing.
And why wouldn't the GOP? Team Obama's catastrophic climate silence – a silence his White House inanely imposed on much of the progressive and environmental establishment back in 2009 (see here) – coupled with his utter failure to push hard for a Senate vote, has turned a winning political "wedge" issue into something that is mistakenly perceived to be a political loser by much of the political establishment. His embrace of an "all of the above" energy strategy, which is to say no strategy at all, has legitimized a massive expansion of fossil fuel production – and export.
No, I'm not overselling what one man can achieve – I'm simply not ignoring the damage done by an entire administration grotesquely indifferent to – and incompetent at – climate messaging. As Prof. Robert Brulle, one of the country's leading experts on the environmental movement, put it, "By failing to even rhetorically address climate change, Obama is mortgaging our future and further delaying the necessary work to build a political consensus for real action."
We are on the brink of losing yet another full 8 years that could have been used to inform the American public about what's happening now, the bad stuff coming that we can't stop, and what needs to be done now to avoid the really catastrophic stuff we can.
Churchillian leadership on climate may not be a sufficient condition for avoiding the climate catastrophe, but it is almost certainly a necessary one.
Given that climate change is in fact an existential threat to the nation and modern civilization, I also don't think that we can ignore the myriad other failures by Obama beyond his failure to use the bully pulpit. Here are four:
- Pushing health care reform first when the climate bill was already moving and far more important for the future of the nation and the world.
- Pushing health care reform in such an incompetent fashion it took a full year, lost public support for that reform and sweeping pieces of legislation in general, energized the opposition, and generally further poisoned a poisonous political atmosphere.
- Failing to insist that the climate bill be able to be passed through the reconciliation process, which requires only 51 votes and prevents a filibuster — in retrospect, this was almost certainly the single biggest strategic mistake (though not Obama's alone). Note that this would mostly likely have required team Obama to not insist health care be able to pass through reconciliation.
- Never keeping Democratic Senators in line, and, for instance, never making clear that there was definitely going to be a vote on the climate bill, as they knew there would be for health care. This allowed moderate Democrats to publicly bad-mouth the bill and say that there was no path to 60 votes, which essentially sent the message to moderate Republicans crucial to the bill's passage that they would be taking a massive political risk supporting any bill.
Again, the net effect of the political incompetence and the messaging failure has been to turn the issue of the century into a virtual non-issue, which in turn has allowed the major media to all but ignore it, too.
But let's imagine Obama gets a spine, fixes the EPA rules for new power plants, and then adopts rules for existing power plants that lead to a 17% (or greater) reduction in CO2 emissions by 2020 (versus 2005 levels), which is what he offered before the 2009 global talks in Copenhagen. Obama would still need to undo the damage done to the international negotiation process by his climate silence and failure to pass a climate bill.
Avoiding catastrophe requires a global deal with teeth in 2015 – otherwise America's modest "reduction" in carbon emissions will mean nothing. I put "reduction" in quotes because when you factor in our trade deficit with China (and others) in manufactured goods, it just turns out we've been outsourcing our CO2 emissions. Over the past two decades, we have been buying more and more of our products from coal-intensive China – and, on top of that, we've been selling China our surplus coal!
Yes, America's coal use is dropping, but don't worry, the "environmental President" has overseen the largest increase in U.S. coal exports in history (see "2012 U.S. Coal Exports Reach Record High")! One final point – on the Keystone XL pipeline. Killing it may not be a sufficient condition for the "environmental President" to lead the way on preventing a climate catastrophe, but it is almost certainly necessary one.
"Approving the pipeline would be a deep self-inflicted wound on the Obama administration, greater than anything else he has done," said Michael Brune, executive director of the Sierra Club and a leader of the antipipeline movement. "This was not inherited from the Bush administration and it can't be passed off to his successor. It really is Obama's alone. Whatever damage the decision would do to the environmental movement pales in comparison to the damage it would do to his own legacy."
Of course, IF Obama could approve Keystone but still achieve serious domestic reductions AND a global deal that put the world onto a non-catastrophic path (i.e near 2°C total warming or less), then history might still judge him the "environmental president." But on that path, the Keystone pipeline would be a superfluous waste of resources (at best), since it is a gateway to one of the many huge pools of carbon-intensive fuel most of which must be left in the ground on the 2C path.
The fact that our hypothetical Obama could, if he uses EPA authority in a serious fashion, go to the world's other big emitters and commit to meeting his 17% pledge is a necessary minimum condition to achieve a climate agreement — but it is not sufficient. Obama needs some moral standing, he needs to be able to demonstrate to the world the U.S. understands that far deeper cuts are needed post-2020 and that means not sticking new spigots into huge, dirty carbon pools like the tar sands.
If Obama truly were the "environmental president" then Keystone would be a very, very easy decision for him.
How will the rest of the world leaders be judged?
Canada (Harper) is already getting tarred and sanded in public.
What about China? Can you imagine my relief when I saw they were dumping a huge effort into green technology? Am I really going to be left idolizing communists?

roots of Obama strategy
If anyone is interested in the roots of this strategy, both on the messaging and the political, policy and regulatory aspects, look no further that how Lisa Jackson led the debate while she headed the NJ Department of Environmental Protection.
Jackson's "incremental" avoid head on climate and economic and regulatory issues ws embodied in the 2007 NJ Global Warming Rsponse Act and on "modest" implementing legislation under RGGI.
In 2005, NJ DEP had defined GHG's as "pollutants" under the NJ State Air Pollution Control Act and issued the first phase of regulations to establish a regulatory driven emisions reduction initiaitive. That was vehemently opposed by ther energy industy - implemented under NJ DEP Commissioner Bradley Campbell, Jackson's predecesor (full disclosure - I worked for Campbell).
That regulatory authority was stripped in the 2007 GWRA and weakened further in the RGGI implementation law - Jackson preferred a "modest" (her word) incremental strategy to avoid electric rate shock. Jackson too stressed jobs - green jobs! - not any climate crisis.
This "modest" green jobs market based strategy translated not only into stripping regulatory powers and missed opportunites to educate the public on cliamte, but also into RGGI "caps" that were 30% ABOVE current emissions, a sufficient cushion to render the entire RGGI program nothing more than business as usual. (RGGI law also set allowances at $4 per ton, exempted major sources, and capped allowances at $7 per ton, allegedly to prevent "rate shock". Everyone knew at the time that these prices were FAR too low to change energy utlility or consumer behavior.
Look to Lisa Jackson's role in NJ as the strategy and message/policy model Obama bought into.
I've been following this and writing about it for years now. For an example, see my 2007 Op-Ed on the Global Warming Response Act:
"No Teeth in "tough" Pollution Law"
All the green grouos slauted it in NJ, just lke they did in Washinton DC.
And the failure is the same.

Chait error on EPA regulatory implementation
Chait's piece is loaded with errors, its obvious he is a regualtroy lightweight and relied heavily in NRDC.
One egregious set of errors involves the feasibility - given where EPA uis right now on the regualtroy front - of using the Clean Air Act to regulate emissions from existing coal (and other major power) plants.
Chait simpy does not understand the Clean Air Act's best available control technology (BACT) construct, or the role of States and how State Implementation plans and permit programs govern BACT decisions. These will undermine - substantively and in terms of schedules - any emissions reducitons. At the fedral level, the relevant EPA "BACT Guidance" is based on combustion efficiency. That gets maximum of 10% reduction and that's a best case. And EPA "tailoring rule" narrows the universe of sources.
In addition to the crazy "all of the above" energy policy, Obama and his EPA and Energy Department are still committed to "clean coal", i.e. carbon capture.
But, Chair makes hios largest errors on 2 issues:
1) assuming that the NRDC Report can be implemented in Clean Air Act regulations adn permit programs; and
2) assuming - he even states this - that EPA regulations are immediately implemented and remian in effect during the period that they are challenged in court.
Ain't gonna happen.
Chait also ignores the structural role of OMB is blocking, weakening, and slowing regulations.
Congress has tools to block regulations.
The Obama I EPA embarked on a regualtroy strategy that was a small bore initiative under assumption that big reducitons would come from a Congressionall enacted cap/trade program. That small bore effort was designed to avoid a political fight that would undermine Congressional politics.
EPA can not now simply unwind that regualtroy strategy in its enturety - EPA has painted themselves into a corner adn Chait is clueless about all that,because NRDC certainly i not going to disclose the fact that they signed off on and saluted the whole thing.

My gut reaction
Very interesting and informed comment (and the one above). You seem to know your stuff. My gut reaction to the NRDC/ICF plan was established after reading the executive summary. It took reading the entire proposed plan for my brain to catch up. Honestly, the sales pitches from NRDC and the envirotool blogs was cringe-worthy; such as "this brilliant plan developed by geniuses is totally genius. Buy into it you liberals. I command you."
Isn't our new DOE head Monis an ICF alum? Kind of explains the magical coal to natural gas switch out for electricity generation. Oh, and renewables. Almost forgot that. They did get mentioned somewhere in passing.
Here's one of my many problems associated with coal to gas transition as proposed: what are we going to do with mine restoration. The trust fund is already getting sucked dry and underfunded. And with less funding from coal sales, will there be enough money for restoration including land, surface water and groundwater? Many Superfund mine sites are still open after 30 years. I pretty much understand all the issues regarding coal such as pollution control, CO2, mining impacts, shipping, and I want to transition away from coal use. What we don't have is a transition process for remediation of shuttered plants and restoration of mined land (and surroundings).
Ironically, it appears many of the pro shale gas extraction folks are into in situ coal retorting or in situ coal gasification or whatever its called. Now that could be a nightmare. Australia is already finding this out. My state Illinois has large untapped coal deposit underlying the best farmland in America and I've read there is keen interest in ICG. Even more so than shale gas from the New Albany formation. Gads.
So we seemed to be moving from high-impact regionally concentrated hydrocarbon extraction (coal) to low to potentially high impact nationally dispersed hydrocarbon extraction (shale gas). It's not a plan, but a swap-out.
The plan's energy efficiency section, which is the essential element btw, was turned into an un-understandable financing scheme. Too many spreadsheet columns and weighting factors for my tastes.
I don't understand US regulations..
I've been disuaded from carbon trading by this article;
I'd rather see a simple carbon tax, preferably like the one James Hansen championed called "Tax and Dividend".
So called 'regulations' always seem to fritter any action away.
I'd be greatful if either of you could comment on Carbon Trading, and Carbon Tax.

'He's still out with a concussion, though, and the Sabres are over the salary cap by his $2.9 million U.S. salary. They'd obviously like Connolly back for his sake. However, they also want to know where they stand with him, long term, before they decide how they're going to handle their Daniel Briere-Chris Drury dilemma. With both players estimated to be (at least) in the $6 million U.S. range next season, speculation is that the Sabres will keep one and let the other go. If Connolly is not in the picture, though, that could change the equation.'

Ignasi Miquel says Arsenal have to quickly move on from Saturday's defeat against Liverpool and focus on a crucial week domestically and in Europe.
The young defender made his Premier League debut at Emirates Stadium at the weekend when two late goals brought an end to a run of over four hours without conceding this season.
Arsenal travel to Udinese for the second leg of their Champions League Play-Off on Wednesday before facing Manchester United at Old Trafford on Sunday and Miquel insists attention must now turn to an important seven days.
"We have to work hard and forget about this result," he told Arsenal.com.
"Next week we have Manchester United and, firstly, Udinese in the Champions League. It is pointless to think about [the Liverpool] result.
"We have to be positive because Udinese have to score two goals. We have to be positive, give 100 per cent and, if we do that, I am sure we can win it."
The full interview with Ignasi is now available on Arsenal Player. He discusses: his Premier League debut, his thoughts when he was told to get ready, going down to ten men, an important week ahead and Udinese.Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

First off, nice site and forum.
I did a search on education/photography and somehow got myself here. What was the thing I seen within the first opened forum? A post about inspiration. Actually it's a post about a photography site designed to inspire. I was hooked! Talk about walking right into what your looking for.
I'm getting older and my goal is to go into teaching more. Shooting only what I want to from now on. 28 years plus of running after brides and photographing portraits. I need to change it up a bit. Plus , my body can't keep up with what I used to do.
If you are new to the picture biz, maybe I can help. If you have something to light my fire again, maybe you can help me.
My site. http://www.photographiccoach.com (Site is only up a week, due to FaceBook I had a question in the "Ask Tom" tab on day 2.)
Let me go float around the forum see what everyone is on about.

Law for Young Adults
Turning 18 is an important milestone in a young person's life. With that comes many exciting opportunities and responsibilities from voting, renting an apartment, opening a credit card, buying a car, etc. and all without a parent's consent. Youth turning 18 will be making important decisions about their lives and at the same time need to be careful as there can be long-term consequences to many decisions.
This new transition of turning 18 comes with many new responsibilities. Turning 18 means someone becomes legally an adult, and although they may, their parents no longer have to support them. At age 18, an individual may be responsible for paying their own income taxes and can even be sued. Also at age 18, if a crime is committed, that individual will not have the protection of the juvenile court; the stakes are higher and the consequence could be jail time.
As 18 year olds face important decisions in the weeks and months to come, from moving out, to establishing a bank account and credit history, to working and voting, an electronic resource was developed to provide some guidance on the new responsibilities and consequences that apply to 18 year olds. Keep in mind that laws are constantly subject to change, and if you have a specific legal problem, you may want to consult an attorney. Click here to go to the new Law for Young Adults page that has over 30 topics!

We use Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) when working with children and adults. This is a scientifically-based and very successful method to treat anxiety, depression and many other conditions. This can help clients see how distortions in their picture of what's going on in their life can make them feel anxious, depressed or angry for no good reason. Behavior therapy helps people modify the connections between problematic situations and their habitual reactions to them.

As the nation's sports focus turns to Augusta, Georgia and
The Masters for a week, many people don't realize that Tommy Tuberville played
college golf in addition to football.
With numerous Bearcat football lettermen in town April 11 for the annual Letterman's Golf Outing, Tuberville can talk about some of the legendary holes he's played before. Among those, is the famous (or infamous) Amen Corner at Augusta National.

Additional Information

|Product Type
Source Naturals was created in 1982 by C.E.O Ira Goldberg to support each individual's potential to enjoy optimal health. At that time, the kind of nutritional formulations he envisioned – for the maintenance of well-being and the enhancement of life – simply didn't exist. The idea of combining many nutrients, herbs and nutraceuticals in one formulation, though common today, was then a rarity. Source Naturals pioneered the concept with Wellness Formula®, now the industry's #1 immune support product.
Source Naturals subsequently introduced numerous award-winning formulas, recognized for their excellence in independent surveys and nutritional analyses. In addition to Wellness, these award-winners include Life Force Multiple™, Mega-Kid Multiple™, Inflama-Rest™, the Skin Eternal™ line, Higher Mind™, Essential Enzymes™, Male Response™, and more.
Source Naturals' comprehensive Bio-Aligned Formulas™ help bring the power of alignment to your body. When formulating, we evaluate the underlying causes of system imbalances, and then provide targeted nutrition to interdependent body systems. Our line of more than 600 products also includes well-researched, single entity nutrients in their highest quality and most bioavailable forms.
Our nutritional supplements are at the leading edge of today's Wellness Revolution. This transformation in health consciousness also includes new perspectives in diet, lifestyle, emotional and spiritual development, and complementary health care. Source Naturals Strategy for WellnessSM is to provide education that empowers individuals to take responsibility for their health, rather than relying solely on outside medical authority. The result is people who are more productive and fulfilled, and a world that is stronger and healthier.

Lewiston, Maine's second largest city, was long looked upon by many as a mill town with grimy smoke stacks, crowded tenements, low-paying jobs, sleazy clubs and little by way of refinement, except for Bates College. Yet, a noted Québec historian, Robert Rumilly, described it as "the French Athens of New England."
Before the era of recorded music and radio, nearly every community had a band that played at parades and other civic events. Fire departments had bands, military units had bands, theaters had bands. Band music was everywhere.

Political Science
Chair: Professor Reynolds
Associate Professors: Haddad; Assistant Professors: Kato; Faculty Associate: Lalande (French); Adjunct Faculty: Farbod
The program in political science is designed to provide opportunities to understand politics as art, science, and philosophy, so that students may prepare for graduate and professional schools such as law school, for professions in government service, and for individual citizenship in a democratic society.
The Major in Political Science
The major in political science consists of 10 course units. Four are required: Political Science 110, 115, 120, and 125. Students also must select one advanced course at the 200 level or above, from three of the following groups: Political Science 220, 225, 237, 240, 330, and 340; Political Science 215, 250 and 355; Political Science 210 and 235; and Political Science 245, 247, 327 and 347.
Two of the remaining three courses required for the major are to be electives at the 300 level, if not already included above.
Courses in special topics and independent study may be substituted for courses at the advanced level, depending on the area in which the student will work and contingent upon departmental approval. Internship (386-388) will be counted as an elective in the major but is contingent upon department approval. Honors candidates take two courses, Political Science 400-401, which are counted within the 10-course requirement.
Writing-Intensive Courses
Students will be required to take one of the following to meet the College requirement for writing-intensive courses: Political Science 225, 330, 347 or 355.
The Minor in Political Science
The minor in political science consists of five course units: two selected from among Political Science 110, 115, 120, and 125, and three additional courses selected with the approval of the advisor.
The Interdepartmental Major
Set I of the interdepartmental major consists of six course units: any two of Political Science 110, 115, 120, and 125, and four others, two of which may be independent study.
Departmental Recommendations
Students interested in graduate and professional studies are encouraged to take courses in other areas of the social sciences and in statistics. Prospective graduate students are advised to reach at least reading proficiency in those languages that may be required for their studies.

In the past few months, others, and I, both admins and regular members alike have noticed a rather disturbing trend here at TDH. As a growing board, we are losing our unique and vital ability to be close-knit and helpful to one another. Members, both new and old, in general, are more cynical than ever, and quick to attack others, especially our new members. Earlier this year we asked for donations for a booth at C4. You all gave VERY generously and we couldn't be more grateful. The point and purpose of having a booth was to draw new members, as new members are the life of the board. Eventually old timers fall away or move on to other things and it is the constant influx of "newbies" that keep us alive. You all gave and we spent a tremendous amount of money to market this board so that we will continue to have new members in the future. We have made great efforts to make ourselves known and to help get new members to visit. However, as a whole, we are not providing a warm and inviting atmosphere that will make a potential member want to hang around for very long. Are newbies frustrating? Yes, they can be. They ask questions that we have answered a thousand times or get all excited and want to share a "new" discovery they have made, one that we made 2 or 3 years ago. If you love TDH and want to see it continue to grow, we all, not just the administration, but all of our members, MUST try to empathize with these new members and try to be helpful whenever possible. Try to see things from their perspective and even if you can't be excited about their "discoveries", be excited for them and remember how excited when you were, so many years ago when you were at the same point they are now. Also, as you know, this board is not run the way many boards are run and it takes time for a new person to acclimate themselves to our culture. While we don't want to bend the rules, we don't have to cram them down every newbies throat or chide them incessantly when they break one. Be patient with them as the administration often is patient with you. Help them to understand our rules and why we have them. Don't simply criticize a new member for not following them.
This is a call to bring TDH back to what made us great to begin with; fellow Fett fans helping each other out to create the greatest Fett costumes the costuming community has ever seen! Each and everyone one of you are TDH. You ARE the board and without any one of you, the board would not be the same. Please make sure that your contributions are helping make TDH an open and inviting place for our new members, not den of cold and impersonal hardcases.

Fox Terms Obama's Economic Address As "Same Old Speech" Before Pivoting To Same Old "Scandals"
Blog ››› ››› TYLER HANSEN
After declaring President Obama's July 24 address on the economy to be the "same old speech," Fox News immediately pivoted back to what the president described as "phony scandals," despite Fox's already extensive coverage and the lack of any new developments. Fox's scandal driven focus remained, even though the economy is chief among the concerns of most Americans.
On the July 25 edition of Fox & Friends, co-host Brian Kilmeade played a short clip of President Obama's economic address while the on-screen graphic described it as the "same old speech." After the clip, in which the president accused conservatives of "taking their eye off the ball" by focusing on "this endless parade of distractions and political posturing and phony scandals," Kilmeade pivoted away from any discussion on the economy and directly back to those "phony scandals," asking Sen. Richard Burr (R-NC), "Do you think, Senator Burr, it's the right tack to call them phony scandals?"
Fox News' attempt to hijack the conversation about the economy -- which most Americans consider a top priority -- and steer discourse back into the realm of Fox News fantasy scandals is unsurprising given its long history of moving from manufactured scandal to manufactured scandal. When facts come out and the scandal collapses, the network ignores the facts until it can find a new manufactured scandal with which it can attack the Obama administration. If the new scandal collapses, it's back to square one.
Fox's focus on "phony scandals" crowds out good economic news -- news which Fox often struggles to cover correctly. Fox was the only network to cut away early from the president's speech -- after a commercial break, they came back instead to the announcement of the name of the new British prince.

|Ford Focus Purchasing Center Discuss about special incentives and ordering information on the Focus & Focus ST.
|Topic Review (Newest First)
Happy to share my buying experience here if Ira doesn't mind.
I became interested in the Focus after reading several reviews online, and my research led me to this site. I exchanged a few messages with Ira and, though I initially didn't expect to be purchasing through him, was impressed with the promptness of his replies and the straight answers I got from him. Moreover, I noticed that he treated nearly every inquiry with the same courtesy, even though the majority of posters probably don't end up buying from him.
My initial plan was to purchase through the USAA Car Buying Service. I had read somewhere else that I likely wouldn't be able to beat the price, and I didn't really want to spend hours trying to eke out the very best deal with my local dealers. A couple of test drives reinforced my reluctance to deal with them, as they were sort of your typical car lot sharks - eager to upsell and unwilling to talk numbers up front. On a whim I PM'ed Ira for a price and he responded back in less than 10 minutes with a price that was $500 under what I could have gotten through USAA. I didn't even bother with trying to counter-offer or anything, as the price was what I considered to be very fair (I was ready to pay the USAA price).
Dealing with an online salesman was obviously very low pressure (well, no pressure really). Ira was more than happy to factory order the vehicle to my exact specifications. I met with much resistance on this from local dealers, who were more interested in convincing me to buy from dealer stock, presumably to make me a "right now" customer. One of my concerns with buying online from a dealer in another state was that I might somehow get stuck paying extra delivery fess, thereby negating whatever price advantage there had been. But Ira arranged for the vehicle to be delivered directly from the factory to my local dealership in TX, with me just paying the regular destination charge. I'm not sure the exact details of this "courtesy delivery," but it cost me nothing.
Another thing that I really liked about going through Ira was that he readily offered "rebate protection." In other words, he assured that I would get the greater of whatever rebates were in effect at the time of order and the time of delivery. By contrast, my local dealers actually used the uncertainty of rebates as a tactic to try to convince me to purchase from inventory rather than factory order, as they claimed they couldn't guarantee rebates and incentives. As it was, my rebates at the time I ordered were penciled in at $1500, but went up to $2000 by the time I finalized the paperwork.
As far as time, the process was surprisingly quick. Many forum members told me to expect a wait of 8-12 weeks from order to delivery. I ended up placing my order on May 7th. On the 10th, Ira emailed me with a VIN and a build date of May 29th. I took delivery on June 8th, less than 5 weeks from the time of order. I can't say if that's typical or not, but I suspect that Ira's dealership sells a lot of cars and has plenty of allocations at any given time.
When it came time to finance, I was dead set on going through USAA. I was convinced that no dealer would be able to offer me a better rate. Ira asked if his finance department could try, and they ended up offering me a rate 0.25% lower than USAA, surprisingly. They overnighted all the paperwork, I signed and sent it back, and that was it.
Super easy buying experience, great price with no haggling needed, and a salesman that knows his product and is happy to work with enthusiast customers who know exactly what they want and don't want the "hard sell" experience. If you're shopping for a Focus, you owe it to yourself to at least PM him for a price - I personally wouldn't buy another Ford from anyone else.
Read me First before asking questions
I honestly don't mind answering all your questions but this might help those of you that don't want to read through everything.
-2012 Order Guide find here:
-2013 Order Guide find here:
-for rebate inquiries please give me your last name and billing zip code
-2012 order deadline has come and gone, you can order a 2013 if you like. Please e-mail me below if you are interested in getting a vehicle shipped to you as I can facilitate that transaction for you if you like. Ask BimmerBob about his transaction if he doesn't mind.
-Rebates vary and at any given time can increase (not typical)
-When ordering a vehicle you can lock-in pricing and rebates so when discussing with your local dealer do not fall for the "I cannot guarantee that rebate" line. You receive the greater of the 2 incentives at time of delivery if they changed. Typical orders are 5-8 weeks but some can go as quick as 30 days.
-Ford has gone to simplified options to reduce the amount of dealer trades and the higher probability of your local dealer having what you want on their lot. They did not take away options to piss you off believe it or not, it makes ordering more streamlined and gives customers more options. Take a look at Honda's trim level options and Ford still has plenty of option packages when you compare it.
-If you are interested in a non Focus I can also assist with that.
-check out our inventory anytime at www.phillongdenver.com
-My days off are Sunday and Wednesday. If I'm not with my better half I usually browse the web so you might get a response but typically not. So no, I'm not ignoring you I just have a life outside of work as well!

Latest revision as of 12:33, 3 December 2010
Disciple is a dialect of Haskell that uses strict evaluation as the default and supports destructive update of arbitrary data structures. Disciple includes region, effect and closure typing, and this extra information provides a handle on the operational behaviour of code that isn't available in other languages.
Programs can be written in either a pure/functional or effecful/imperative style, and one of our goals is to provide both styles coherently in the same language. The two styles can be mixed safely, for example: when using laziness the type system guarantees that computations with visible side effects are not suspended. Many Haskell programs are also Disciple programs, or will run with minor changes.
DDC is still in the "research prototype" stage, meaning that it will compile programs if you are nice to it, but expect compiler panics and missing features. You'll get panics due to ungraceful handling of errors in the source code, but valid programs should compile ok.

Fall restaurant openings
Tue Aug 25 2009
Time Out Ratings :<strong>Rating: </strong>0/5
A Voce
Accademia di Vino
2427 Broadway between 89th and 90th Sts (212-787-3070)
Anthony Mazzola's cavernous East Side resto is expanding into this 110-seat outpost across the park, formerly home to Dock's Oyster Bar. The menu will be a scaled-down version of the original, with similar Tuscan-style small plates and thin-crust grilled pizzas to go with the extensive wine collection.
The Ainsworth
122 W 26th St between Sixth and Seventh Aves (212-741-0646)
Prior to collaborating with Matt Shendell (the Hill) on this forthcoming Chelsea Pan-Asian--American spot, chef Dave Feimster spent five years heading a Japanese-Latin restaurant in Hawaii.
510 W 52nd St between Tenth and Eleventh Aves (212-247-9191)
The old guard and up-and-comers get equal treatment at this wine bar, where bottles from well-known producers share list space with less familiar selections from around the world. Among the food options: homemade charcuterie.
A Voce Columbus
Time Warner Center, 10 Columbus Circle at Broadway (212-823-2523). Projected opening Sept 18.
A Voce Columbus preview and blog post.
9 Maiden Ln between Broadway and Nassau St (no phone yet)
Michael "Bao" Huynh's banh m chain gets a FiDi home, where the cult sandwich will become available to i-bankers on their lunch breaks. Huynh is also adding breakfast (think scallion-omelette banh m) and a soft-serve machine.
Bar Celona
104 South 4th St between Bedford Ave and Berry St, Williamsburg, Brooklyn (718-237-7828)
First-time restaurant owner Cynthia Diaz knows her trends. The former fashion consultant's hip Billyburg project is a 95-seater featuring Spanish tapas, a mod black-and-gold palette and cocktails from mixology consultants the Tippling Brothers.
Bar Henry
90 W Houston St between La Guardia and Thompson Sts (no phone yet)
Ten years ago, co-owners Winston Kulok and Carole Bergman gave us Caf Henri, a classic French bistro in the West Village. Now they're opening Bar Henry, an American bistro in the West Village. Hopefully the food will translate as well as the name does.
Black Horse Pub
568 Fifth Ave at 16th St, Park Slope, Brooklyn (718-788-1975)
You won't find any portraits of the queen at this casual, nontraditional English pub—but you will find a 33-foot bar with 16 taps, plenty of wood and exposed brick, and a "Berkley's Clothes and Dresses" sign over the entrance (a relic from the former owners).
406 Broome St at Lafayette St (no phone yet)
The Martignetti brothers convert the former Bar Martignetti space into an English-style pub, featuring two flat-screen TVs broadcasting soccer and rugby, and traditional food from executive chef Ben Towill (Kingswood).
Cantina Latina
243 E 14th St between Second and Third Aves (212-253-5708)
The many planned projects of Lesly Bernard (Tillman's) hit some snags this past year, but now he's back to rolling them out. Permanent Brunch opened recently, and next comes this restaurant, which will offer cheerful spins on Latin comfort food, fun mojito flavors and the occasional mood-lightening Jell-O shot.
Casa Lever
390 Park Ave at 53rd St (212-888-2700)
The owners of Sant Ambroeus open their latest Italian restaurant, this time in the landmarked Lever House building.
Dickson's Farmstand Meats
Chelsea Market, 75 Ninth Ave between 15th and 16th Sts (no phone yet)
Jacob Dickson has already carved out a niche in the Greenmarket scene, and now he's bringing his naturally aged meats and charcuterie to the Chelsea Market. House-made bacon and a 600-pound-capacity smoker rank among the attractions.
Ed's Chowder House
The Empire Hotel, 44 W 63rd St at Broadway (212-956-1288)
This seafood spot in the shuttered Center Cut space sounds a lot like another NYC fish destination, run by another guy named Ed. But don't confuse the two: Only this one has both a raw bar and a chowder bar, a pimped-out 150-seat dining room designed by Jeffrey Beers, and the combined skills of chef Ed Brown (Eighty One) and restaurateur Jeffrey Chodorow.
Empire Room
350 Fifth Ave between 33rd and 34th Sts (no phone yet)
The Empire State Building's swanky Art Deco cocktail lounge sits on the ground floor, far from the observation deck. This will probably confuse the tourists for about ten minutes, which is just enough time for an upscale drink from Jonathan Pogash's cocktail menu.
Gansevoort 69
69 Gansevoort St between Greenwich and Washington Sts (no phone yet)
Legendary diner Florent shuttered last year, but the space's latest inhabitants—David Graziano (Pink Elephant) and Corey Lane—want to lure back the regulars with an imitation. Famous Florent dishes like its mac and cheese will be reincarnated.
Il Cantuccio
91 Christopher St at Bleecker St (no phone yet)
Florentine bakery Il Cantuccio, known for its almond and chocolate biscotti, opens its first U.S. location. A spacious backyard garden will make for a pleasant place to enjoy the pastries and pizza along with coffees, teas and lemonades, at least until temperatures drop.
Knitting Factory Brooklyn
361 Metropolitan Ave at Havemeyer St, Williamsburg, Brooklyn (347-529-6696)
Tribeca's famed music institution makes its move to Williamsburg, bringing with it all the beer that's fit to drink.
Le Souk Harem
510 La Guardia Pl between Bleecker and W Houston Sts (212-677-1120)
Le Souk's new sister spot is more like a fraternal twin: similar bi-level interior, overstuffed pillows, half-naked belly dancers and Moroccan flavors.
54 Prince St between Lafayette and Mulberry Sts (212-226-8877)
The folks behind Delicatessen unveil this extension offering 12 gourmet flavors of macaroni, served in containers that look like macaroni, in a room shaped like a piece of giant futuristic macaroni. Attention, NYU students: This is what meta means.
Mercat Negre
65 Grand St between Kent and Wythe Aves, Williamsburg, Brooklyn (no phone yet)
Mercat branches out to Brooklyn with this tapas restaurant. Chef Oriol Sala Colomer will create inventive, seasonal tapas that reflect his native Catalonia.
Mermaid Oyster Bar
79 MacDougal St between Bleecker and W Houston Sts (212-260-0100)
Smith's may have sunk, but Danny Abrams still has his sea legs: He and partner Cindy Smith will replace their defunct restaurant with a Mermaid Inn spin-off, serving 16 types of oysters and unfussy fish-shack fare.
349 E 12th St between First and Second Aves (no phone yet)
Goodbye, exacting Neapolitan pizza joint. Hello, exacting Neapolitan pizza joint. The closing of Una Pizza Napoletana had us weeping into our mozzarella, but Motorino's expansion into the vacated space—with seven pie varieties, Italian snacks and soft-serve ice cream—is a good reason to dry those tears.
OBAO Noodles and Grill
222 E 53rd St between Second and Third Aves (no phone yet)
Call him inspired or call him insane, but there's no denying that Michael "Bao" Huynh has been busy. The first of his multiple fall ventures—a Republic-style budget noodle house with 85 seats and a garden—is set to open in midtown.
601 Vanderbilt Ave at Bergen St, Prospect Heights, Brooklyn (718-230-5170)
The name is Spanish for "little," but Fort Greene's colorful Mexican watering hole ain't so little anymore: Its second location, in the former Barrette space, has more square footage and a bar, which means new food specials, a cocktail menu and extra-late hours.
Piccola Cucina Focacceria
120 MacDougal St between Bleecker and W 3rd Sts (no phone yet)
Having recently opened his Soho restaurant, Piccola Cucina, chef Philip Guardione launches this focaccia-focused offshoot. The specialty is a Ligurian variety that's stuffed with melted Crescenza cheese.
259 Flatbush Ave between Bergen St and St. Marks Ave, Park Slope, Brooklyn (718-484-4114)
After 20 years of slinging sammies, the owners of Mitchell's Bar and Grill are turning their beloved Flatbush landmark into a trendy Southwestern joint. Hopefully the Mitchell's fan club will continue to come for duck nachos and mahi-mahi tacos.
Purple Yam
1314 Cortelyou Rd between Argyle and Rugby Sts, Ditmas Park, Brooklyn (718-940-8188)
Fans of Pan-Asian fare with a Filipino focus can soon get their fix in Ditmas Park, where husband-and-wife team Romy Dorotan and Amy Besa are reviving their erstwhile Soho eatery Cendrillon.
Press NY
34 E 23rd St between Madison and Park Aves (212 679-4699)The panino meets the wrap at these two newcomers, appropriately located in the Flatiron District. Fresh dough is pressed between two hot irons to create a flatbread, which is then used to swaddle fillings like steak and eggplant.
San Rocco
The Wyndham Garden Hotel, 39 W 24th St between Fifth and Sixth Aves (212-255-4655)
Milanese owner Rocco Arena claims his eatery—with its authentic aperitivo bar and neorustic decor—will "save New York" from subpar trattorias. We'll forgive the jabs at Grandma's meatballs if the chef can make us say ancora.
Screme Caf
300 E 64th St at Second Ave (no phone yet)
Finally, a dairy joint that could bring Pinkberry to its knees. The American version of Israel's Aldo already has two gelato bars churning out boozy flavors like tequila-and-fig, but its new 40-seat location will offer waiter service and a lengthier menu of rotating flavors.
The Standard Hotel
848 Washington St at Little W 12th St (no phone yet)
The Standard Grill, which opened in June, has already become a destination for scenesters and food lovers alike, but the Standard Hotel's eating and drinking plans don't end there. A beer garden, which is already in soft-opening mode and located directly under the High Line, will soon have brews on tap and furniture, along with a menu featuring grilled foods. A lounge and bar on the hotel's 18th floor—along with the 19th floor's rooftop space—will serve cocktails, beers, wines and a light food menu.
7523 Third Ave at 76th St, Bay Ridge, Brooklyn (718-748-5600)
Chef Rawia Bishara and her daughter are moving their Middle Eastern bistro one block away, where they'll keep take-out and gain a bar and double the seating capacity.
19 Kenmare St between Bowery and Elizabeth St (212-966-1810)
Top Chef alum and former Babbo sous chef Manuel "Memo" Trevio steps into the exec-chef role at this Italian-inflected Mediterranean eatery.
The Vanderbilt
570 Vanderbilt Ave at Bergen St, Prospect Heights, Brooklyn (718-623-0570)
Saul Bolton's creative American eats earned him a Michelin star at Saul, and—despite a partnership with Num Pang's Ben Daitz—he doesn't plan on straying far from that culinary path in this casual small-plates project, which sports reclaimed barn wood and a marble bar.
Village Tart
86 Kenmare St at Mulberry St (212-226-4980)
Lesly Bernard is putting nails in dinner's coffin: first with Permanent Brunch, and now with this long-anticipated sweets caf and restaurant. Sure, the place will serve supper, and there's a savory snack menu with soups, salads and pizzette—but who wants a square meal when you've got Pacojets cranking out fro-yo, and daily-changing desserts by Pichet Ong?

I'm about to start my BM armor painting and I picked up a bottle of winsor & newton water colour colourless art masking fluid, I'll be using polly scale acrylic paint .
Did I get the right stuff?
if not ,what should I get?
I'm about to start my BM armor painting and I picked up a bottle of winsor & newton water colour colourless art masking fluid, I'll be using polly scale acrylic paint .
Did I get the right stuff?
if not ,what should I get?
you got it!!
If it looks like this, then that's it.
Personally I find that stuff to expensive for something I'm just going to peel off and throw away. I use Parma from a hobby shop, works great and dries with a blue hue. Leaves no stain on the undercoat.
like so many things in this hobby... i don't think there's a "right" anything.
i used the windsor and newton stuff because it's easy to get. there may be better products, like the stuff andy mentioned... but if i can't run out to a local shop at 8pm and grab it, it's of no interest to me
the stuff you got will definitely do the job though!!
Hah! I got like 10 of these in a box from my school xD
Thanx !
Now where did I put those damn brushes?
Thats it indeed, dont forget it clogs up on paintbrushes after a while so watch out for 'lumps' I found that out the hard way
This stuff is great... it's clear so it doesn't stain (but on the downside you can't see it once it dries, like the tinted stuff)... and it's easy to get out of brushes once it dries.
Just be careful what kind of paints you use it with. If the paint goes on thick, take your time removing it, otherwise you're going to get bigger chunks coming off than you drew on in the first place.
Where do I go for Masking Fluid?
Last edited by Cailieg; Jul 31, 2015 at 9:34 PM.
I got mine at Michaels. It should be over with the artists' supplies somewhere.
Like the oil paints, canvas, watercolor sets. . . all that junk.
I ended up getting some at Aaron Brothers, they had colorless, and normal white.

What's the general opinion on the use of liquid friskit?
I'm ready to start masking my FP armour and went to my local Michael's yesterday, and this was the only masking fluid they had:
The bottle is different that the one pictured above, but it looks to be the same stuff. Anyone know if this stuff is correct?
It wasn't cheap either...$21 a bottle!!
Yes, that's the right stuff. And the problem with Michael's is not whether or not they carry it--they do. It's finding someone who works there who knows what they're talking about. Don't ask--go to the paint section and look. It is very expensive, though, and as has been pointed out here and elsewhere, there are several alternatives. Most people who use this stuff are very happy with the results, however.
Maybe they just updated their packaging, but that should be the right stuff.
If you're doing a lot of projects that require masking, the price isn't all that bad. I've had 1 bottle of this stuff that I've had for over 2 years and I've used it to mask the backs of 5 or 6 Fett helmets and some other smaller costume components. It hasn't dried up or anything, and I still have well over 2/3 of the bottle left.
Cool thanks.
I found this stuff in the paint section with the other W&N stuff, but the packaging was different so I wanted to make sure before I opened it and used some.
i use toothpaste! find my helmet thread or my armor thread to see how it turns out.
