Hi Sir,
I just was made aware in a forum that the S21D, S21H and other sticks in this fashion falsely advertise 2GB RAM as their memory, whilst they have only 1 GB RAM - the 2 GB refers to a partition in their internal eMMC, it seems. Please tell me, is it the case with the stick I bought from you, or when you got the faster and more stable CPU you were able to get the 2GB RAM CPU indeed?
I'm asking that because I would prefer not to dispute this order, even if it 1GB RAM; but if it has 1 GB RAM only, I will just resell it here in Brazil that would be much faster than returning the product. (It has still not arrived, I am following it through the tracking number)

The MK812 is also said to have 2GB RAM - and they put it in bold, which might mean it is real RAM: http://miniandroidpc...phone-bluetooth
Posted 14 February 2013 - 03:37 PM
I watched the video and looks like it does have over 1GB of RAM. But only 4GB NAND when it says "On-board 8GB NAND flash memory" Here is a little photo of the video on webpage were it shows that info.
MK812 real Storage info.jpg 56.09KB 7 downloads
Looks like that's the only place on the web were can order now too. I will wait to see if any one else gets it and they say it has 2GB RAM.

Home is where the memories are
15/07/2013 , 12:24 PM by Amy Taylor-Kabbaz | Comments (0)
I'm currently moving house. Again. For the seventeenth time.
When I did a quick calculation of just how many homes I have occupied over my relatively-short 36 years, I was a little shocked at the number. As Adam Spencer would quickly calculate for me, that's a new house every 2.11 years. And that doesn't include the two years I spent overseas.
If moving is up there with one of the most stressful events in a person's life, then I've been living in a permanent state of stress for a significant chunk of my life.
Not that I feel stressed about it. In fact, there's a part of me that loves a good moving day! A chance to clean out the cupboards, purge the wardrobe, reorganise the cutlery drawer. Old magazines and books that I thought were far too sentimental to give away just two years ago suddenly seem irrelevant. Especially cookbooks, which have faced a serious cull this time round when I realised that every single recipe I could ever want is now only a click away on my iPad.
It is a stark contrast to the life my husband led before meeting me – the endless nomad.
We've just spent a week back in his hometown of Adelaide, and quite literally in his home. This is the home his parents bought when they first moved to Australia. The home that he was born in, that he lived in until his twenties, and the home he now brings his own children back to stay. We even stayed in his old bedroom – a thought which initially gave this hippy a bit of the creeps, especially with the artwork of my now 40-plus husband still surrounding us.
Do I wish there was one place in this world that feels like 'home'? Do I long for a place to retreat to, a place that never changes?
Surprisingly, no.
While listening to my husband and his family reminisce about the memories stored within those walls in Adelaide, I did wonder if my children will be able to recall a similar feeling. He laughed with his parents at the idea of everyone sitting around the same room 20-odd years ago, easily remembering every detail as if it happened just last week. Easy to do, I guess, when some of the furniture is the same as it was back then.
In contrast, this will be our five year olds third house.
What does that mean for family, memories and a sense of belonging?
Nothing. In my mind, my family home is where my parents are. It is the kitchen bench I sit on, eating dip and crackers while Mum cooks. It's playing cards with my parents and sister until the wee hours of the morning. It's listening to 'War of the Worlds' in the car on long family trips.
Memories are not in the building or the walls or the location of a family. While I can only imagine how comforting it can feel to return to the home of your childhood as an adult, I know that my life – with all of its seventeen homes – is full of memories.
Memories no removalist can take away.Read more

|Beef and potatoes in a chocolate infused sauce- divine.
Karina's Beef and Potatoes au Chocolat Recipe
1 2-pound or so ribeye steak, fat trimmed
Sea salt
Extra virgin olive oil
5 cloves garlic, chopped
1 onion, diced
4 medium gold or red potatoes, peeled, sliced
3 good sized carrots, peeled, sliced
2 celery stalks, sliced
1/2 cup red table wine (*may omit)
4 cups organic GF beef broth- reserve one cup to mix with the cocoa
1 14-oz can fire-roasted crushed tomatoes
A good dash of balsamic vinegar- at least two tablespoons
1 tablespoon agave nectar
1/2 cup golden raisins
1/2 cup diced roasted green chiles- the hotter, the better
1 teaspoon each: cinnamon, cumin
1 tablespoon chili or chipotle powder- spicy or mild, to taste
1 teaspoon dried herb mix- thyme/rosemary/oregano/basil
2 bay leaves
Sea salt and ground pepper, to taste
2 heaping tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder
To thicken, later:
1/3 cup sweet rice flour
Cut the steak into four pieces and salt the beef on all sides. Wait a few minutes.
Kiss the cook.
Get your Crock Pot situated and cranked to High.
Serves 4.
Traditional mole recipes add stale, crumbled corn tortillas at the beginning of cooking to thicken the sauce (I prefer the rice flour method).
Some folks add a spoon or two of peanut or almond butter. It is lighter without it.
Some recipes add chopped almonds.
Make it your own. Do your thing.

Lawyers for a British resident who is being held by the United States government at Guantanamo Bay have identified the existence of photographs taken by CIA agents that supposedly show how their client was tortured. Clive Stafford-Smith, legal director of Reprieve, who is representing Binyan Mohammed, claims to know the identify of the CIA agents who were present when his client was allegedly beaten and tortured. In a letter for Foreign Minister David Miliband, Mr. Smith wrote: "Given the opportunity, we can prove that the evidence(obtained from Mr. Mohammed) was the fruit of torture. Indeed, we can prove that a photographic record was made of this by the CIA. through diligent investigation we know when the CIA took pictures of Mr. Mohammed's brutalized genitalia, we know the identity of the CIA agents who were present including the person who took the pictures(we know both their false identities and their true names), and we know what those pictures show…I have seen no evidence of any kind against Mr. Mohammed that is not the bitter fruit of torture." Reprieve intends to press for criminal prosecutions against the CIA agents alleged to have carried out the torture.
Mr. Mohammed is charged with being an enemy combatant although he was arrested in Karachi by Pakistan immigration officials on his way back to England. he claims to have been tortured in Morocco before being sent to Guantanamo. He has never been charged with a crime nor given any opportunity to prove his innocence. The Bush administration continues insisting releasing those in Guantanamo will endanger American security. In a sense, Mr. Mohammed is trapped in a Franz Kafka novel, no charges are brought against him, but those in power insist that to do so would somehow endanger themselves. So, he resides in a terror land in which there is no innocence, only guilt. As an American, I can only say never before in the history of my nation has an American government acted in this manner.

On O'Reilly Factor , Coulter denied Limbaugh compared abuse to hazing: "[H]e definitely didn't say that"
Research ››› ››› KATIE BARGE
Right-wing pundit Ann Coulter denied that radio host Rush Limbaugh ever compared U.S. military guards' abuse of Iraqi prisoners to hazing or ever said that it wasn't a big deal.
From the May 27 edition of FOX News Channel's The O'Reilly Factor:
O'REILLY: Now are you buying into the -- this is just a hazing thing at Abu Ghraib?
COULTER: What, the media is hazing the American people by seeing how much we can take?
O'REILLY: Some of the right wing commentators say it's just hazing, what's the big deal? Are you buying into that?
COULTER: No, I don't think anyone is.
O'REILLY: No, they are. You know that. I'm not going to embarrass people but on the radio, talk radio you have right wing commentators say it's just hazing, what's the big deal?
COULTER: If I know what you're referring to, there were two hours and 59 minutes not saying that and at one point making fun of liberals for making fun of -- if you're talking about Rush, but Rush went on...
O'REILLY: ...program and he said it's not a big deal, it's just hazing.
COULTER: If you're talking about Rush, he definitely didn't say that.What other talk radio hosts say...
O'REILLY: I compete against him every day on the radio and I know what he says. He said many, many times and not only him that it wasn't a big deal.
COULTER: No, he didn't say that, but whatever -- no.
As Media Matters for America reported on May 5, Limbaugh compared the abuse of Iraqi prisoners to a college fraternity prank. From the May 4 Rush Limbaugh Show:
CALLER: It was like a college fraternity prank that stacked up naked men --
LIMBAUGH: Exactly. Exactly my point! This is no different than what happens at the Skull and Bones initiation and we're going to ruin people's lives over it and we're going to hamper our military effort, and then we are going to really hammer them because they had a good time. You know, these people are being fired at every day. I'm talking about people having a good time, these people, you ever heard of emotional release? You ever heard of need to blow some steam off?
Further, as Media Matters for America reported on May 11, Limbaugh again compared the abuse of Iraqi prisoners to a college fraternity prank, saying "[W]hat's the big deal here?" From the May 11 Rush Limbaugh Show:
LIMBAUGH: Now, let's look at this -- this prison business. When the first two or three pictures came out, and you know which ones they are -- the pyramid picture, which is what looks like a Skull and Bones initiation, the pyramid, the guys in the hoods, and we've got the female prison guard with a cigarette dangling from the mouth. And we had this -- the guy in all -- in all black, hooded, and so forth, wires attached to various extremities. And there was -- there was one other picture.
And I said, "Well, you know, what's the big deal here? This just looks like an average Skull and Bones initiation."

you try playing with dyspraxia/MS. you really have no idea how hard it is to play this game, or any game for that matter. I can't even write. Like you know with a pen and paper? Yeah I can't do that. I HAVE to use a keyboard, because my body is unable to control motor movments well enough to write. If i go to places i have to ask for a scribe if they need me to fill out a form. YOU TRY LEARNING HOW TO PLAY A COMPLEX GAME WHEN YOU CANT EVEN WRITE.
If you're not being sarcastic, whatever.

I know a blind guy who was the #1 PvPer in a text-based MMO. Screen-reader technology is pretty amazing. They actually hired him on as a coder after awhile.
That guy is awesome though, thats so cool.
Whats wrong with me causes interpreted muscular error. Which is why I can't drive a car, write, or play some of my favorite games/champions.
He learned a work around for his issue, unfortunately there only work around for dyspraxia would literally be to have a neurocommunication "telepathic" direct link that would bypass physical input. IE have a keyboard/mouse input link to my thought process. like perhapse linking a keyboard and mouse input directly to my brain stem or my cerebellum.
There's a difference between him and I in a sense that he can use his assests to do exactly what he needs them to do. I however I can think act and perform exactly what I want to do, but instead the actual output comes out lagged, incorrect, or has missing commands in the chain. Imagine using a keyboard that when you press a set of keys, one of the keys at random almost always comes out wrong. Imagine trying to do a chain combo QERRR with akali, and instead of it coming out as you intended Q turns into W and the only the first R and E react properly.
Imagine trying to type and with every few keystrokes a letter appears or does not appear that you didn't intend or wanted to be there.
Imagine you wanted to type
"I love playing league of legends, it's such a fun game"
But instead it comes out
"I lvaoe playing leguas of algends its asuhc a fhng agame"
I could spend the day typing out my posts raw and unedited so ya'll could see just how difficult it really is for me to type, and just how much error I have to deal with.
ifnacnt i muigh actually do ahta forth a whilk e os yal cal realy se what a difuclanty ia cant really be fir me top tyopgcaoreectly.

I don't have the time or patience to read through what is causing all this drama and stupidity. Please keep things civil, without any personal attacks. I just deleted like 15 posts because they were all just back and forth childish drama. I'm not pointing fingers, but quit it. Talk about the game you mutually enjoy, and keep it to that. If someone asks for help, provide it. If someone is struggling in the game, offer constructive criticism. I can provide some google links for you if you don't know what that is.
I see Lefos already has been here and warned y'all about it. Next time it'll be Xeno and he has no mercy.
Act like adults.
Finished placements. I actually promoted from my previous rank LOL
Wanted to try jarvan IV jungler, I still prefer udyr for clearing the camp and I didn't feel confident at all on counter jungling with him.
I have to say I didn't play so bad, even if they were all pushing so ganking was pretty easy and they were never together.
I should consider play him again soon, some tips on the build? i wanted to build some AD, something like malmortius or hydra but since everyone in my team pretty much insta died against riven or leblanc I wanted to last longer
Gone Talking To a Wall
So, you know you got "THOSE" games, where you play out of the ****ing league.
So i recently got Shaco and was afraid to go ranked jungle with him.
Eventually i decided to try it, like why not, i played him about 3 times in normals with my random friends, you know, for fun.
but GODDAMNIT how beautiful that game was. Result was 5/1/7
Each and every gang was beautiful from my side, executed almost perfectly each time. Get rid of summoners and go in for the kill. Top and Bottom lane thanked me for carrying the game, at first it looked bad because we had horrible setup, bottom was Pant + Vayne and i had to help them, they argued a lot, blamed each other, but i could not ruin my first shaco ranked game, i said it's okay, blaming wont do any good, just keep on playing, said "Good job, well done team" after each successful gang. And as a result the game ended at about 23 minutes
A really great game.
Shaco is a really nasty jungler if you get them early ganks, yeah.
Doing way better than last season. I think the reset has alot to do with this though because the stress of my win ratios and me doing so well in provisionals has me on a positive outlook
Played my 2600th' game as Shyvana yesterday :3
A guy from the GD section of the LoL forums added me and wanted to play with me, turns out he's a season 3 diamond and thinks we have amazing synergy. He told me that "when you hit gold/plat were going to duo on my main instead" we play extremely well together, so he wants to keep duoing with me for as long as I can. He wants someone to duo que with that works well with him so he can try to get up into Diamond 1
he likes my frozen heart and zeke's item picks, but thinks i should drop the liandry's.
he wants me to switch to flash smite an go for a tankier start, though.
Were going jungle/mid and absolutely stopping some of the games. We've almost carried 3 troll games, but trolls won in the end :<

riot nerfing everyone that use the spellvamp masteries so silly.
ugh, don't even get me started on bad Baron calls. Lost so many games because of those.
Currently playing: FFXIV (Elucifer Arclight, Leviathan server), LoL (Trash Tier Waifu, NA server), SMITE (Zacewing)
lolz, we were like, winning and stuff. With this lagging first time LeBlanc and stuff.
And they wanted to push mid, while bottom had a free tower, so instead of diving and doing Tf under tower i said, "i wont fight under tower" and started heading bottom while pinging and saying to join me
The 3vs5 action, even one of our carries was quite far away. As soon as everyone died and the game was about to end with our loss the chat rose!

As these are also at times a bit more "finicky" as to ammunition, I'd advise buying a MK-3 to work with, my opinion is these are more "shootable," the best working class HiPowers made. I basically use mine as they come from the box, better sights are about the only thing I add.


text: I've only cooked a turkey once, over 20 years ago, using the Frugal Gourmet's recipe, i.e., boiling the legs for some amount of time and then adding in the rest of the carcass and boil until done. It was incredibly juicy and tender, and I got a great stock out of it, but the downside was no gravy. I'm not sure what I was thinking, but I ordered a fresh turkey this year, and just got word that it will be 12.2 lbs, so at least I won't have to put it in the oven at 7am. I've researched recipes and have found four basic themes: 1. Cook at 325 or 350, 20 minutes per pound 2. Cook for 20 or 40 minutes at 425, then 20 minutes a pound at 325 3. Cook for 40 minutes at 425, then 20 minutes a pound at 325, then another 40 minutes at 400 4. Cook for 20 minutes at 400, then 20 minutes a pound at 250. Claims that this is the only way not to dry out a turkey. always extending cooking time if the thigh or breast temperature is not 170 or 180 on the meat thermometer. Clear as mud. Most advice is not to baste often, in order to keep the oven temperature consistent. I cook chicken using Julia Child's recipe, which means basting every 8-10 minutes, and with my oven, that usually means adding another 10-20 minutes of cooking time to get over 180 degrees for 6-7 pound chicken. For a turkey, I'd expect the meat to bone ratio to be bigger than a chicken and for the additional cooking time to be more than double that, but that's just a guess. Please help me

Arsène Wenger says his words at Thursday's Annual General Meeting came from the heart.
The Arsenal manager delivered a rousing speech to the Club's shareholders and onlooking media to conclude the event at Emirates Stadium.
"I just spoke with my heart and of course," said Wenger. "I have been here at the Club a long time and I care a lot about it and the fans.
"I just spoke honestly about how I feel about the situation inside the Club and how I feel the team is.
"Of course you could feel concern among our fans with the start to the season we had. There are worries and I just wanted to promise that we would give absolutely everything to continue our progress and our improvement.
"I feel that is happening and I feel there is a deep desire within the team."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc. Permission to use quotations from this article is granted subject to appropriate credit being given to www.arsenal.com as the source


text: You called it Walt. Pistons jumped off to a 8-2 lead and played dead for the next 15 mins...only waking up near the end of the half with a 16-2 run that brought the Pistons from a 45-27 deficit to 47-43 that was quickly doused by two Pacer threes by Rush and Granger to send the Pistons to the locker room to lick their wounds being down 8 at the half instead of the 18. I was watching the Hope for Haiti telethon and by the time I turned back to the game in the second half, it was a WTF happen!! 71-52 Pacers lead.. The Pacers had increase their lead back to 18 and by the end of the 3rd and I don't anyone in the palace felt the Pistons could comeback. With every two Pacer buckets, another Piston chat member logged off for the night. A downtrodden beaten faced Quester finally threw up the white flag and brought in a brand new lineup including Kwame who had not played in a winning Piston game since December 12th and based on his first and only shot that fell two feet from the basket, we know why. One thing Kwame did do was get to the free throw line six times..something that Tay was only able to do once despite playing 24 mins. Speaking of Tay, this was his tenth game he has played for the Pistons this season and we have lost all but one of them....winning only the first game of the season. Of course we have to showcase him, but with him out there it basically stunted the play of Stuckey who was a cold 3-13 after having his best game of the season two nights ago and poor CV who was and even colder @ 1-9 shooting finishing with only 3 pts. Most of all Tay's replacement Daye, had to sit on the bench for most of the game after playing integral parts in the previous Piston victories...Tay scored 7 pts in 24 mins, Daye scored 6 pts in 7 mins. It was JJ and Daye who scored the last few pts in garbage time to make the final outcome more respectable. Without Rip's 27 pts, the game would have been a blow out....well maybe it was.... Difference in the game...Pacers hit 9 three pointers and we hit one...that is a 27-3 differential there.

Record It
Find a Studio
Studio facilities vary in what they offer, and by extension, what they charge. Before deciding on where to record, it is worth asking other people about their experiences.
It is important that a studio should be able to meet the needs of the composer/songwriter/band. If a live recording is planned of an orchestra, then the studio will need to be large enough to accommodate everyone. Conversely, a singer/songwriter with an acoustic guitar is unlikely to need a huge space or highly sophisticated facilities.
An indication of what type of composer/songwriter/band a studio is geared towards could be provided by a list of who has recently recorded there. This might be listed on the website, or could be requested if it is not.
Even if a studio is at the upper end of the price spectrum, this does not guarantee that it equipped to the requirements for certain recordings. If a spec list is not available on the website, it is worth requesting one.
Some studios are residential and offer accommodation, which might be useful if a recording is done a long way from where the musicians are based. These facilities allow recording to take place 24 hours and save in terms of travel time.
It is worth shopping around and inquiring if there are special rates available for recording during the night or at other quiet times. Does the facility offer a discount for members of organisations such as the Musicians' Union?
Moreover, asking what is included in the quoted price is also important and a breakdown in what is offered should be obtained in writing. It is usual for the house engineer's services, equipment and use of instruments to be included in the price. However, 'mixing' and 'mastering' a recording usually involves an additional charge.
Some studios offer a package which provides a finished product and includes all elements involved in producing that product.
Is a producer necessary?
Studios have an in-house engineer, who looks after the technical aspects of a recording and is familiar with the with the studio's equipment.
On recordings destined for a commercial release, an outside engineer and producer are often enlisted as well. This can either be a specialist producer, or members of the band.
Producers are hired for a variety of reasons including being able to create a certain sound, for being specialists in a certain genre or because they have a reputation for being able to create a hit. Composers/songwriters/bands with the budget, should consider what it is they want the producer to do.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Igary,thanks for that post. I always assume that all engines get some kind of blue printing.Remembering the basics is important. The machine work needs to be accurate and cranks need to be straight. well chosen parts adds to a better engine.
dont rely on luck,do it right the first time.
Often times these threads ask questions that doesn't completely cover the total work needed.
Look at this analysis.
This engine has already gone through turning the crank once.
Now it needs it again according to his machine shop.
But we are rejecting his machine shop's suggestion the crank needs replacement.
Yet we are accepting the machine shop's inspection of the block.Well atleast that fact it isn't cracked.
Me??. The question I have is if we reject the machine shop's suggestion of a replacement crank,why would we accept that this block doesn't need a line bore now what would be a third time being repaired for bearings??. Rains down heavy on me is WHY??. What is creating all these bearings to be chewed up??. Is his crank bent??. Again before the third time isn't a charm,WHY??.
Shops offset grind the snot out of cranks but it's probably cheaper to buy new. I paid $160 for a 350 Scat crank from Speedway motors. Jegs, and Summit also carry them. At less than $200 it's a no brainer.
Not all Chevy forged cranks received surface hardening so if it was originally it's now gone; if it didn't have it there isn't any issue. Depending on year of the crank they were made from slightly different materials 1046 or 1053 steel. The older lower carbon 1046 was nitrided to harden the journal surface to improve wear, the later crankshaft forging was made using harder, higher carbon 1053 steel so these shafts usually weren't nitrided as increased surface hardness wasn't needed to achieve the wear qualities they were looking for in a 100,000 mile engine life. There should be casting/forging numbers on the crank that will lead you to which it is.
A 400 horse power level is pretty easy to attain from a 350 with modern heads and pistons at very moderate RPM (under 6000) so it isn't the problem keeping the rotating parts together that it once was. Today this is done on cast cranks with no ill effect; pieces like SCAT's 9000 series cranks are very good if you decide to go that way. However, I'm more concerned with rods, pistons, balance and harmonic dampers these days. The original GM rods, even pink rods, are getting a lot mileage on them which translates to loosing (actually using up) designed fatigue life; so I lack any enthusiasm for reused or rebuilt rods when there are so many inexpensive high quality 4340 replacements out there. For good power the pistons need to work with the head. These days if you want 400 horses without the trouble long duration cams bring, the answer is the L31 Vortec or similar aftermarket clones. Those combined with the timing of something like a Comp XE268H flat tappet, a 750 CFM carb on an Edlebrock Performer RPM, a set of long tube headers it's easy to build a slightly better than 400 horse engine that doesn't have to turn more than 5600-5800 RPMs to do it. This of course means good piston selection which with the need for tight squish/quench clearance of .040 inch means the use of a D dish piston to keep the squish/quench tight on the far side with an adequate D shape dish under the valve pocket to keep the compression around 9.2 to maybe 9.5 depending on vehicle weight and gearing.
The end game I'm getting to is that if your current crank measures correctly for journal diameters, concentricity, and taper; I put my money in better rods, pistons, balancing, a darn good damper and heads.
Why is it that no one bats an eye at turning a cast 400 sbc crank down 0.200"(!!!) to fit it into a 350 block, but worry about a LJ steel crank being turned down 0.030"??
I just sold a steel .040 rod .030 main crank yesterday..
The guy is building a very hot 355 and was very happy to find a steel crank for a reasonable price..
If you are building the engine yourself?
Find a good machine shop,buy a journal.
If you have the time to hand fit each part(basic blue printing) You will have a very good reliable engine when finished. Find the heads you want to use,doesnt matter as long as the castings are good quality.If you decide to use a stock cast iron head,find a set that will yield no more than 9.2:1 CR.Before you purchase or machine the heads,match the pistons from a catalogue of your choice.Post part numbers and have the math guys help with exact fitting.
This means you need to plan the boring and decking of the block to extract the most power and fuel efficiency as possible.The cam specs will be factored in at that time.
The money you spend will be mostly on block and heads,premium machine work,balance the engine.
easy part now is deciding on the bolt ons you like. carb/manifold/exhaust
If you take the time and set your goals reasonable for power,,,? you can use cast or hyper pistons, a flat tappet hydraulic cam and still get an honest 350 HP
|The 400hp is an arbitrary number. I want one hp per cubic inch. If I fall a little short, ok. The engine will replace the 305 TBI that I have in my truck right now. Just putting in a stock 350 will be a big difference over the 305. I don't want to build a race engine I want something that I can drive around and play with sometimes. It is not a daily driver just a toy. I want the engine to last several years and be dependable. If that means it will take a while to build the engine then that is what I will do. I appreciate the guide on the setup @vinniekq2.
|read your other thread.You can use w/e quality parts you want.You can build the best or the cheapest.Its up to you how good your project turns out? If you want 400 horse power then decide how often the engine needs to produce that power,how did you pick 400,how long do you want it to last,,,,,?
|The crank is forged steel. So, it needs to be replaced. Ive been thinking about a 383. Is a cast crank ok for a 383 build?
|now is a good time to consider a 369/383? Maybe buy an exchange crank from bobcrman or other reputable shop.Get what you want
Look at the crank from the front end. You will see a "parting line" that runs up the front of the crankpin. If this line is 1/16-1/8" wide. The crank is cast. If the line is 3/8" or wider, the crank is forged steel.
Cast cranks last hundreds of thousands of miles in production engines. Unless you are building a 600 horse engine. Cast is fine.
|Im not sure the type of crank. How do I identify the type? Im not building a race engine. I wanting to build a strong 355. I would like to get 350-400hp out the engine. I dont want to build the engine and a year from now I have to replace the crank. I would rather build it right the first time to be durable. Thanks for the replies.
Absolutely nothing wrong with a crank turned past .020.
I am amazed at all the wives tales. The same guys that spread this stuff will read about small journal or Honda rods on a steel crank in a magazine article and think its the hot setup.. What is the difference?? The crank can be used for any journal size. If it is nitrided so what? Any regrind past .010 will usually remove/compromise the hardness. The crank is still usable if it is grindable.
SBC cranks (large journal) can be ground to any of these available sizes..-.010 .020 .030 .040. .050, .060, then to small journal std. -.010 .020 .030 .040 .060 I have all these sizes in stock most of the time. Plus in performance bearings + - .001-.003 increments are available in many undersizes. Then they can be turned to Honda rod journals std. plus several metric undersizes..Just have to watch where the oil hole ends up.
Many of these combos are used in racing. Several of my customers take a new GM steel crank and have the rods off set ground to small journal size, to gain a bit of stroke and reduce deck height. Same with 400 iron cranks.
Back in the day we did 350 cranks, cast and steel, with off set small journals all the time. TRW even had off the shelf pistons for the combo.

By Giuseppe Muro
Nicklas Bendtner believes the month of February will go a long way to deciding the success of Arsenal's season.
After progressing to the FA Cup Fifth Round with a win over Huddersfield on Sunday, Arsène Wenger's side face a pivotal run of seven games in less than four weeks starting with the Premier League visit of Everton on Tuesday.
Arsenal start the month still gunning for silverware on four fronts and could pick up their first trophy in six seasons when they face Birmingham in the Carling Cup Final on February 27. Before that, Barcelona visit Emirates Stadium for a mouthwatering Champions League clash and the Gunners travel to Leyton Orient in the FA Cup with three more Premier League games sandwiched in between.
Bendtner feels it's a crucial period in their season.
"This next month is a bit of a decider, I would say. There are matches that will have a massive influence on the Premier League as well," said the Dane.
"February is a big month for us and at the end of it we will see where we're at. Hopefully it will all look fantastic. We need to start by beating Everton. They have been doing fantastically. They were a bit unlucky against Chelsea and they played some good football. We have to be up for the challenge and be ready.
"It's always difficult to play again so quickly. We have played a lot of games but we're sportsmen and this is what we have to do. Luckily it is a night game and not an early kick-off because they are killers. People have said before that if we weren't at our best games would end in draws.
"I think this season we have turned those question marks into victories. I think that is what is making us stronger game by game."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

House Republicans took a stand against mandatory helmet laws Tuesday but came to agreement on little else in their annual daylong pre-session meeting.
There was a brief discussion of a proposal to significantly increase the state sales tax on food offsetting it with a credit for low-income Utahns and the topic of gun control was raised as well, but the caucus didn't take a position on either issue.
House Speaker Becky Lockhart, R-Provo, said that after the Connecticut school shooting that left 27 victims dead, it was agreed that now is not the time to politicize the gun issue.
Lockhart said the caucus was also somewhat hamstrung by the uncertainty in the federal budget situation.
"We just talked about more things throughout the day, but because the fiscal situation has so many unknowns, we avoided taking a position on various budget issues because we know the numbers will be different in the future," she said. "Some of it will depend on the specifics of the deal reached in Congress, if a deal is reached."
Lawmakers were told earlier this month that if President Barack Obama and Congress are unable to reach a deal to avert the so-called fiscal cliff in which expiring tax cuts could add nearly $3,500 to the average tax burden and federal spending would be slashed it would plunge the state into chaos and a recession as well.
The state's projected $300 million budget surplus would become a projected $200 million deficit as disposable income dries up, sales tax revenues plunge and direct federal payments are slashed.
There was little discussion, but general consensus on only one issue that House members opposed an idea being floated by Sen. Todd Weiler, R-Woods Cross, to require adults to wear helmets while operating a motorcycle.
Weiler has said that the move would save the state money, citing a study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that people involved in motorcycle accidents without helmets often end up having medical bills and disability benefits paid for by taxpayers.
Lockhart said she agrees with the position. "I feel like it's an issue of freedom and personal responsibility," she said.
The 61 Republican members in the 75-member body received a briefing by legislative staff on the potential impacts in the coming years of the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare, including the potential for expanding Medicaid to cover more Utahns and health insurance exchange requirements, but no formal positions were taken.

Wells Fargo Jumps On Q2 Beat
Wells Fargo (WFC) was climbing nearly 2% in recent trading, easily outpacing the broader market, thanks to the company's better-than-expected second quarter.
Before the bell, the company said it earned $5.52 billion, or98 cents a share, up from $4.62 billion, or 82 cents a share, in the year-ago period. (Per-share earnings reflect the payment of preferred dividends.) Revenue was about flat at $21.38 billion.
Both top- and bottom-line results beat the Street's expectations for EPS of 93 cents on revenue of $21.22 billion.
This morning fellow banking giant J.P. Morgan (JPM) also reported second-quarter results ahead of analysts' forecasts.
Both companies benefitting from improving credit quality, but unlike J.P. Morgan, Wells, the nation's biggest mortgage originator, saw mortgage originations grow slightly to $112 billion, up from $109 billion in first quarter. Applications grew to $146 billion, compared with $140 billion in prior quarter.
As for other individual divisions, its community banking arm said it earned $3.25 billion, up 28% year over year, and up 11% from the previous quarter. Earnings in its wholesale banking unit increased 6.5% from a year earlier to $2 billion, but fell 2% from the first quarter.
Mortgage banking non-interest income totaled $2.8 billion, down 3% year-over-year. Noninterest expense dropped 1% to $12.26 billion from $12.4 billion a year ago.

Elementary Geometry from an Advanced Standpoint
Addison-Wesley, 1990 - Mathematics - 502 pages
Students can rely on Moise's clear and thorough presentation of basic geometry theorems. The author assumes that students have no previous knowledge of the subject and presents the basics of geometry from the ground up. This comprehensive approach gives instructors flexibility in teaching. For example, an advanced class may progress rapidly through Chapters 1-7 and devote most of its time to the material presented in Chapters 8, 10, 14, 19, and 20. Similarly, a less advanced class may go carefully through Chapters 1-7, and omit some of the more difficult chapters, such as 20 and 24.

Now you're just showing off... ;) For us in the more Northern climates we can only enjoy your photos and wait for Spring to arrive. I do appreciate the photos, that was one large hive. Considering its apparent strength, all that fresh pollen and how early we are in the season it would have undoubtedly issued some serious swarms. Did you get the queen and do you have any idea of how long it'd been there? Looks like at least a couple years.
Congratulations Blanc, that looks like one large colony. I've been putting the word out at work that I'm interested in doing that kind of stuff but no bites yet. Do you advertise or are these coming to by word of mouth?

There's a you tube video on it.
Yes, I've been throwing the thought to get my Permit to Purchase (NJ Jargon) for getting a weapon. Basically, the permit is to purchase, up to two weapons, the permit is good for three months, but can be extended another 3 months.No, my victim being a victim of mild road rage did not sway me over the top, it has been coming a long time, well beyond the year I have given it more thought. Remember, this is a big deal to me and the State of NJ who has had background checks, no conceal carry (except in extreme cases) and surely no weapon accessible in an automobile.That said, here is where you all come in: I want the weapon for home protection, I don't want a revolver, nor a pistol with excessive noise, flash or something overkill for home protection.I don't need lists of your armory, just a description of your favorite hand-helds and why they are your favorite, especially keeping in mind my wife and I have little to no experience.After a few dozen Youtube videos, I like a double-action/single action combo, just seems a bit safer before firing and fast re-fire after that. I also like a rubberized or composite material, both the look and the feel, I love the bright colors alignment guides too.Again, I'm just window shopping for what I might like, I'll be taking coworkers who have a good selection of weapons to the gun-range to get the final feel for what is right for me and her. We will both go obviously.The wait time is around 2.5-3 months, lots of time to learn what I can and to find out from owner what is their favorite handgun and why. Oh, I also like the conceal carry sized weapons, not the super small, but something that fits nicely in smaller hands but gets the job done if ever needed. I was told by my most savvy gun owner - a great hunter from crossbow, to flint rifle to a miriad of stockpiled weapon that a 38 special is a good all around weapon because of multiple ammo options, size and recoil - all important things.A BIG consideration too is I'm left-handed. I want a semi-auto and wondering if the shell expeller (sic)is an issue - are there left-handed guns, does it really make that much difference to even consider this point. I just know there are a thousand questions I don't know enough to even ask.But for reference, I plan on two handguns, on in the living room safely stowed to the rear of a stand besides my comfy chair and the second in the bedroom. Ideally, I want to rounds in the chamber, I want a full clip and just a slide away from being armed and very ready if needed.As always, I'm a rookie seeking out your knowledge, I know I'll learn some things with this post. A question that bugs me, is why does the Glock barrel seem to point upwards rather than parallel - is that an illusion?Lastly, keep in mind ammo cost and availability, I expect to spend some time at the range and I know that can get expensive quickly.
A .357 is a good choice too. You can practice with .38 and load .357 for home defense and you don't have to buy a separate gun.[/quote Agreed completely. In time, as you progress in your gun ownership you can also get into reloading. Reloading allows you to produce lower power rounds and or cheaper rounds just for practicing. Cheaper bullets, Or, bullets you can cast yourself if you have access to a lead supply can add to your hobby and make it more enjoyable. Different loads. different bullets, types of powders, powder charges, primers, and resizing cases trying to find that PERFECT combination that produces the best accuracy from a particular barrel.... It is an enjoyable hobby that has a practical side. Telling the wife that reloading would be much cheaper worked way back then... Of course, it wasnt cheaper. I still spent the same amount of money.. I just got to shoot a LOT more!!!!
(just please don't pop off two rounds of buckshot into the air out your patio door as a deterent though)
Quote(just please don't pop off two rounds of buckshot into the air out your patio door as a deterent though)LOL he's not the VP :evil:
While I think a shotgun is great for "entertaining" a gang of miscreants on the lawn trying to assault your home, they are worthless face to face, which is how most home invasions go down. That long barrel is slow to handle and easy for the criminal to quickly grasp.

|Prentice Gautt Academic Center
The expansion of Oklahoma Memorial Stadium included remodeled office space in the facility's north end. The largest piece of that project was the Prentice Gautt Academic Center.
Some 30,000 square feet are dedicated to the academic pursuits of Sooner student-athletes. Indeed, there is considerable emphasis on classroom performance at OU.
The strong financial commitment by the department, coupled with the dedication of the Prentice Gautt Academic Center staff, makes this the premier student-athlete support center. This dedication creates a firm academic foundation for OU student-athletes.
Located on the second and third floors in the north end of Oklahoma Memorial Stadium, the Academic Center houses Academic Counseling Offices, two Computer Centers, Learning and Skill Development Centers for reading, study skills, Math and Foreign Language Labs, the Career Center, mentoring office and study areas.
|About Prentice Gautt
In the fall of 1956, the University of Oklahoma issued jersey No. 38 to a young man from Oklahoma City who shattered stereotypes and set sail on an athletics career marked by achievement, decency and service to thousands of student-athletes. The player who wore that jersey was Prentice Gautt, the first black football player at OU.
"In honoring Prentice Gautt, the university is helping all of us to remember that one person can make a difference in the society in which we live," said OU President David L. Boren.
"Because of his moral courage and the strength of his personal character, Prentice Gautt helped advance racial justice not only in Oklahoma, but across the country. He helped open new doors of opportunity for countless young athletes who have followed in his footsteps. We will be forever proud to have his name linked to the University of Oklahoma."
Prentice Gautt
"Prentice was such a remarkable human being," said OU Athletics Director Joe Castiglione. "His vision, dignity, strength and faith created an aura around him that was unmistakably inspiring. It is only fitting that we would honor Prentice this season. Knowing the quality of humility Prentice possessed, he probably would have shied away from the recognition, but it is important that we remind ourselves and other generations of his wonderful contributions."
Gautt's name adorns the athletics department's academic center at Gaylord Family - Oklahoma Memorial Stadium, an honor bestowed in 1999. In 2003, he was honored with an honorary doctorate from OU.
Former Sooners' coaching great Bud Wilkinson awarded a football scholarship to Gautt. Gautt then became a two-time All-Big Eight player and the 1959 Orange Bowl MVP. As a senior, he was named to the academic All-American team.
He played football professionally in the NFL with the Cleveland Browns (one year) and St. Louis Cardinals (six years). After the NFL, Gautt coached football at Missouri while earning his Ph.D. in psychology.
He then started a career in athletics administration, first as an assistant commissioner for the Big Eight Conference and as a special assistant to the commissioner of the Big 12 Conference.
Gautt played high school football at Douglass High School in Oklahoma City. His senior year, he became the first black to play in the All-State game and he earned MVP honors.
He died on March 17, 2005 from flu-like symptoms. He was posthumously given the 2005 Outstanding Contribution to Amateur Football Award by The National Football Foundation & College Hall of Fame (NFF) in May 2005.

Anyone climbing in the Plett/Knysna area?
Moved from CT to Plett, still novice climber (used to go to Citirock) but would like to join some climbing community. mail me if you can help. - email@example.com - Thnks.
Hi Richard...I am in the George area and am also a novice looking to get started. I am making contact with some experienced climbers in the area that seem willing to give a hand in the right direction until I have some experience and can do my own thing. I will keep in touch if I can get anything organized. Or if you come right I would also appreciate if you can keep in contact. Regards Jacques Lourens email@example.com

The caliber makes the choice for me, but not for the reason some might think.
I'm just not a huge fan of the .40 cartridge, in any platform.
Hi all. Let me first introduce myself. My name is Nate and I recently just finished 6 years in the Air Force as TACP (Tactical Air Control Party), "the unknown spec ops force". I spent the majority of my service in austere conditions, so I am familiar with various arms.
I just moved back to the Baltimore area, and seeing as the crime rate here seems to skyrocket everyday, purchased a Mossberg 590 A1 Tactical Shotgun for home defense. While this weapon is most likely more than adequate, I am looking to add either a Springfield XD .45 or Smith and Wesson .40 M&P for home defense. I realize that you should pick the handgun that "fits like a glove", but am looking for opinions to steer me one way or another. I have held and fired both of these hanguns, and at the moment am undecided.
Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time.

I'm just not a huge fan of the .40 cartridge, in any platform.
There's no need to post the same question in separate sections of this forum...
Understood. Just trying to get as much insightful advice as possible.
Hey Kalmia also just got out of the AF was SF and I just purchased a M&P 40 and I love it, like it alot more than the Beretta 92 we carried everyday. Just like the feel alot more and I am more accurate with it, I can see the sights better and a few other small things.
The only 2 reasons I didn't get a XD was one I didn't like the feeling of the XD also didn't like the feeling of the XD(m), and I wasn't to crazy about the double safety even though you don't feel it when shooting the gun. The changeable backstrap on the MP and the overall feel did me in.
First and foremost: Thank you for your service. I'm former Air Force, but was a desk jockey (Acquisitions) for Space Systems in LA. I got to play and train with some of the best, since my best friend was Combat Control. Is TACP what CC use to be??? Sounds like a similar gig. He trainer with SEALS, and Green Berets, and from what I could tell directed some forward air, and aimed the lasers from the ground for the guys in the sky, and then made damage assessments, and then bugged the f__k out before the very pissed off bad guys knew he was there.
Both the XD and M&P are excellent guns. Shoot them both first if you can.
Just interested? Why 45 in one, and 40 in the other? Why, as an ex-military, would you choose either 40 or 45 over a 9mm?
Not being critical, just looking for the thought process of an experienced shooter in a personal first gun choice.
I own 2 XDs, and may own a 3rd within the month... But I'm also looking at the Smith and Wesson M&P 9mm Pro Series or 9L, as an IPSC/USPSA gun.
If I had to choose between your two, the XD45. I love mine, and it's probably the hottest poly 45 on the market right now for a reason.
Stats show Baltimore's murder rate dropping a quite a bit from 2007 to 2008. Still pretty bad, though. Other violent crime remains the same, according to the stats, with larcenies increasing.
Not sure why veteran's advice would be more valid than anyone else's when it comes to guns and calibers like the XD/M&P in 40/45, which aren't used by the military. Anyway, I'm a vet. Both guns are very good pistols - reliable and easy to shoot well. But looking at ammo costs and ease of shooting, I'd get one in 9mm and load with good JHPs for defense.
Threads merged and moved to General Semi-Auto.
Normally I would just say get the one that fits you best, but since you've used both platforms and still can't decide, then I would consider overall cost of ownership. After all, both are good and reliable handguns, with really nothing that puts one over the other.
Of the two, I would get the S&W for it's interchangeable grip inserts which might make it fit my hand better.
Personally, I wouldn't get either one. I would get a 9mm version for it's increased capacity. It would also have a bonus of being cheaper to shoot, which translates to more shooting, which translates to increased proficiency, which translates to a higher chance of putting bullets on target. Putting a cost ceiling on my family's defense isn't the issue here, as a 9mm with modern HP's is more than adequate for the job.
You should really hold a Walther P99 before you decide.......
p.s. yes, I'm a vet (4th generation in a line of 5), but I think there are a lot of knowledgeable people here who are not vets but can still provide good advice.
I'm not a fan of the .40. Seems to try to solve a problem that isn't there. High case pressure as well.
Anyway, I'd go with the .45 because it leaves a bigger hole. I'm a fan of the .45. I do like 9mm as well because it has very mild recoil.
Thanks for all the replies. First off, the title of this thread should have stated "Seeking Advice from Veteran Handgun Owners." I did not solely mean military veterans, but all those proficient in handgun use. Sorry about that.
JeffWard, TACP is exactly how you described it, more or less, w/o getting into the politics of it. I worked mainly with Army Spec Ops units. We were responsible for "painting targets" for aircraft and gathering intel on enemy positions, etc, all while remaining undetected, to the best of our ability.
Another turtle
All riiiiight.
Go with the .45.
for your two choices go with the XD
however fitting like a glove would be the glock 19 in 9mm
plenty good for home defense and cheaper to shoot/practice with
also i can hardly wait to hold a FNP-45 which should really take off in sales
Go with the 45.
The 40 caliber is an excellent pistol round. It came into being after "my time" but I have not neglected it. Many law enforcement agencies use it; and the good reason. I personally prefer the .45 ACP (perhaps I am stuck in time- haha) but, I think the 40 caliber is similar in its overall effect, and certainly equally adequate for self defense.
Then again, the 9 mm that you may have used in your duties is also equally adequate with modern ammunition. I think they are all similar.
As to brand, I think your surmise is correct. Get the one that fits you best. There is little difference in them, if any, at the functional level.
Good luck with your choices. And be safe!
I have the XD45 and after a couple thousand rounds, I still find it a pleasure to shoot. The XD trigger is OK to start with, but sweetens considerably at about a thousand rounds down-range. Also, I prefer the big gentle 'push' of the .45 recoil to the somewhat snappier recoil of the .40 cal.
I have handguns in both the 40 cal and the 45. For home defense, I would go with the 45. I believe that it is less likely to overpenetrate, and the XD 45 is an excellent choice. However, if you are planning to eventually carry a pistol as a CCW you mind find the xd 45 to be a bit large for that task. So if you are planning to carry your pistol I would go with the 40 cal. It is a bit smaller and easier to pack than the XD 45.

NFL Draft Story Central
Houston Texans
2013 draft picks: 1st round (27), 2(57), 3(89, 95), 4(124), 5(160), 6(195, 201), 7 (233)
The Texans have had a relatively quiet off-season in terms of roster moves. Their big get was landing future Hall of Fame safety Ed Reed. Yeah he may be on the back end of his career but the guy is a winner. Maybe his leadership and play can help take this talented Houston team to the promise land.
Draft Needs
1) Wide Receiver
The Texans have a very balanced offense but think about how things could really open up if Houston found a solid No. 2 wide receiver opposite of Andre Johnson? At pick No. 27 in the first round they will have an opportunity to land a very good prospect that should fit that bill. Robert Woods, Justin Hunter, and DeAndre Hopkins are a trio that could all still be there.
Even if Houston waited until the second or even the third round they can find a good wideout. But the more sure thing is landing one of the names mentioned above.
2) Linebacker
They need some opposite of Brian Cushing in the middle of their defense, that is if Cushing returns healthy from his knee injury. There's a chance that Alec Ogletee or Kevin Minter is available with their first pick. There's players here at this position they could move on in the mid to late rounds as well. Jon Bostic and Kiko Alonso are two that come to mind.
3) Offensive Line
The Texans need to address their offensive front on the right side. Menelik Watson is a right tackle that could be still on the board at No. 27. He's raw but has a high ceiling. Justin Pugh is a player that can play tackle or perhaps move inside to guard. There are a handful of potential selections down the line should they choose to wait like Ricky Wagner, Jordan Mills and Xavier Nixon.
Houston can wait on a guard in the mid-to-late rounds. Ryan Jensen, Chris Barker, Jeff Baca, and Earl Watford are some name to watch here.
4) Nose Tackle
Houston could use another nose tackle and there's no question that they could draft a good one in the first round. In fact, they would have a chance to land one of the elite prospects here from names like John Jenkins, Johnathan Hankins, and Jesse Williams. They could probably get Brandon Williams in the second round.
5) Safety
It's a deep year for this position. With other positions more of a priority look for the Texans to wait a bit to draft this spot. Some middle to late round players to keep an eye are on Bacarri Rambo, Josh Evans, Earl Wolff, and Duke Williams. Another to watch is Ray Ray Armstrong. He could be a steal late for someone.

Hi Stasia
I noticed your RIP message for actress/singer Gloria DeHaven. I think she was just great. Also, had to let you know that Stasia was my mom's name as well. It is not a common name and sometimes people would mispronounce it.

Hi Stasia,
My name is Cindy Suiter, I saw your messages on Paddi's page. Paddi is my Mother. She took me in when she lived in Cincinnati because my biological mother could no longer care for me. Unfortunately, due to circumstances beyond our control, I was taken from her and put into foster care. I was wondering if you knew her and would be kind enough to share your thoughts about her. I would be very grateful.
With love,

I am a noob and am currently after the cheapest possible ANH TK costume that could still be approved by the 501st with slight tweaks and alterations. I was going to do pepakura, but soon realized that would not yield me an accurate costume and would be more costly timewise and moneywise in the end. I am looking to piece this baby together but have no idea where to start looking. I've been told ebay is the devil, so I will not consider that.
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
To add, I am on a very small budget, but have tons of time to build it. I am about 5 10' and 150ish lbs

Discussion in 'Off The Beaten Track' started by CDANN1013, Aug 9, 2012.
Great episode - it answered most of the questions fans have been asking during the season and delivered a really satisfying conclusion to the Enchanted Forest arc. My only real problem was that Emma lasting 30 seconds in a swordfight with a centuries-old pirate is absurd, let alone beating him. I'll just fanwank that he was going easy on her because he has a thing for her and had another way to Storybrook though.
Speaking of said pirate, is it me or is the V-neck on his shirt getting lower every episode? Obviously I'm not complaining about this.
I think this is the first time they've actually succeeded in making me sympathize with Regina and buy her redemption arc. I legit felt bad for her at the end there.
I think snarky Emma is my favourite Emma - "Isn't that what a spellbook is? A book with spells written in it?"
You know, I'm generally not one for slash pairings (and often miss homoerotic subtext altogether), but I seriously thought that Mulan and Aurora were going to kiss in the scene where Mulan returns her heart. Honestly, I'd find that more interesting than them competing for Philip.
So, Hook can't pull out hearts- he can only pull out one? And since he didn't pull out Cora's he was able to get Aurora's?
I thought the same thing. Loved the episode. I think Hook is up to something.
I called it! After the premier:
This better happen.
I loved the episode, I think it covered a lot of ground and moved the plot along a great deal. I am a little put off by Regina's treatment by Henry and the crew at the end. If they keep rejecting her and her attempts to "do better," they are giving her cause (in her mind) to be evil. Maybe not a good idea.
Personally, I'm a little put off that we're expected to throw a pity party for Regina. Have we forgotten that she's a ruthless murderer? A few "Mommy did terrible things to me" moments, and we're all supposed to flock to her side and give her a pass for all of it.
I'm all for redemption, but the way they're handling it, it feels manipulative and shallow. Like "cheap grace," to borrow a phrase.
Not to mention that she spent like thirty years raping Graham, something that I think has been way too easily forgotten by both the show and the fans.
But yeah, I get what you're saying. I spent the whole beginning of the season complaining that they were pushing the Regina redemption too hard and too fast. Like I said, last night was the first time that I actually bought it and felt any sympathy for her, mostly I think because Lana Parilla sold it so hard at the end.
That being said, I really don't get the complaint that the Charmings were somehow being unfair or cruel to her by not inviting her along for dinner. They've just been reunited and want to have some time to celebrate together - why the hell would they want the woman who destroyed their lives along for the ride? And it's not like they didn't give her any acknowledgement - Emma's thanks seemed pretty sincere, and that line about her mother made it seem like she's gained at least little understanding of where Regina came from. And it's not like Henry was rejecting her there: he thanked her, gave her credit for doing the right thing and promised to see her again. He just wanted to spend some time with with his mother and grandmother who had been trapped in another world with no guarantee that they'd return. I think that's about right at this point and any more would have seemed forced, especially given that her big gesture basically amounted to deciding not to kill them.
I agree. Regina was showing no signs of remorse at the idea of killing Snow and Emma as a by product of making sure that Cora remained away from Storybrooke. So I see her gesture at allowing them re-entry as more of a sign of her resignation that Henry does see them as his family and not that she was making great strides toward normalcy. Had The test to me is what would Regina have done had Henry not gone to the well. She would have allowed them to be killed by the curse. That's not the action of a redeemed woman yet.
I would not want to break bread with a woman who had tried for years to have me removed from the earth (Snow) or who had acquired my biological son through a shady someone like Mr. Gold/Rumple. Not to mention the fact that Charming and Snow were denied the opportunity to watch their daughter grow up because of Regina's obsession with revenge and separated for one another.
The trust level would not be there.
I certainly didn't mean to stir up a hornet's nest! Please note the use of the word "little" in my post above.
I do think that if Regina is going to pull off a real redemption, she is going to have to have a lot of positive reinforcement.
Oh, I don't think you did.
And honestly, my reply wasn't directed at you so much as it was based on my frustration with some of the general reaction I've seen around the Internet. I swear, Regina apologists are my biggest obstacle toward actually rooting for a redemption for her. You wouldn't believe the amount of things I've read basically implying that she was just a victim of those self-rightious Charming bullies last night. They also seem to think that because of her mother and Rumple she bears basically no responsibilty for any of the awful things she chose to do in the past. It's really annoying.
To change the subject: am I the only one who'd really like to see the fairies (particularly the Blue Fairy) be more involved this season? It'd be nice to have a real magical presence on the "good" side* to offset Regina/Rumple/Cora, who are all, at best, wavering in and out of the villian camp . I know there was that whole business with how they couldn't do anything without fairy dust, but even when they found some we never got any indication of what they planned to do with it. I'm hoping they managed to get some out of the mines before Rumple took what was there so they're not neutralized again. If nothing else, I think the Blue Fairy would be the best option for Emma to talk to regarding her newfound magical abilities.
*I know some people (myself included) suspect that there could be more to the Blue Fairy than she lets on and that her motives aren't entirely altruistic, but on the surface level at least they've generally been on the side of Our Heroes.
Oh, I don't think you did. I didn't mean that you were the one trying to get us to forget everything Regina's ever done and simply pity her. I meant that it feels like the show is trying to. And that's what I don't care for.
OMG, I love you guys so much for saying a lot of what I wanted to say last night but ended up getting way too distracted by trying to watch Revenge and 666 Park Avenue after the awesomeness of OUAT...my brain was totally fried and useless by 11 PM, LOL
Adding to some things all ready mentioned....I also cannot BELIEVE how many people hate the Charmings right now for not inviting Regina to dinner. On what planet does that even make sense?! She's done nothing but hurt that family for a long time and even more, she's the reason they've been separated for so many years (and the reason Snow & Emma disappeared in the first place since they were trying to save Regina from the wraith at the time). I'll admit that part of me felt bad for her when Henry left her behind but he did everything right in my book after the events of the episode. Regina is trying to change so she doesn't lose Henry but one or two good deeds doesn't undo everything she's done in the past. It's not going to be an easy road if she truly wants to redeem herself and I don't think the Charmings did a single thing wrong on their end. It's amazing how people forget all the previous stuff that happened when they're caught up in one random emotional moment. This is one of the reasons I try not to get too invested in one character on a show...sometimes it screws up your head and you stop seeing the big picture. Dang, this is still driving me nuts 24 hours later! Emma herself thanked Regina for saving them and that was definitely a genuine thank you from her, Henry acknowledged what she did and showed affection for her, and no one kicked her out or was snotty to her or anything in Gold's shop. Regina knew the consequences of enacting that curse and now she's paying the price for it. Some OUAT fans are really freaking me out lately with their insanity for characters that have done such evil things.
BTW-Don't listen to the official OUAT podcast this week if you guys ever do that. I usually enjoy them but this week's was totally worthless in my mind. It's all about all the villains and drumming up the sympathy for them. The Charmings, the awesome reunion, and many of the other non villain things from the episode aren't even mentioned by them (they barely even talked about Emma's new found magic which I thought was awesome). I was really disappointed in their podcast for the first time all season. Usually they're great but this one let me down.
I'm excited that Cora & Hook are on their way to Storybrooke! I love having villains that I love to hate and Cora is definitely one of those so I'm curious what kind of trouble she and Hook get into once they get into town. It should be entertaining!
I'm still loving the fact that Cora can't rip out Emma's heart. That is BEYOND badass for Emma to realize that she might just have some pretty powerful magic locked away inside her and I hope she starts figuring out how to use that so she can help protect her family. She hasn't had much of anything in her life up to this point but I think this next part of the season will be more about her really understanding and figuring out her purpose in this world which should be awesome.
And I LOVE Snarky Emma: "Isn't that what a spell book is? A book that has spells in it??!"
Anyone else blush a little during Hook's lines and actions when he had Emma pinned on her back during their sword fight??! Holy cow, how did they get away with that during an 8 PM show?! Love that it lead to her clocking him with the compass too, LOL
I loved this episode so much that I'm re-watching it right now and this is my third viewing of it...I may need therapy, LOL
The OTP sympathy for Regina (and it's not like I didn't feel bad for her last night--I did, but please) is just another example of TV audiences' tiring devotion to anti-hero characters. Man, I dislike anti-heroes--sure, they're a bitch/asshole, but they're snarky! hot! misunderstood! Oh, the complexity of it all. Yawn.
And then viewers trash "nice" characters for being Mary Sues or Gary Stus but when those Mary's and Gary's do something that is not "nice", then they're trashed again for not being "nice."
I was a little surprised at just how much innuendo was happening there, but I probably shouldn't have been - it's not like I haven't seen way worse.
But yeah: he could jab me with his sword anyday.
I'm still wondering whether the hilarity of "My daughter's curse is coming" was intentional or not. I'm guessing not, since it was supposed to be a big dramatic moment. But how could nobody have caught that?
I suppose this makes sense (although I personally don't mind anti-heroes), but here's what I don't get about the Regina stuff: do her fans not realize that by trying to foist the blame for all of her actions off on other people they're actually making her a less complex character?
I mean, what I see is a woman who probably had a crappy childhood, suffered a horrible tragedy at the hands of her own mother, and in her grief allowed herself to steered down a dark path, eventually descending into full-blown evil. Now, she seems to be finally be beginning to realize the depth and consequences of her mistakes and has a shot, with real time and effort, to find redemption.
Personally, I find that a lot more interesting than a character who's spent her whole life as a victim and unwitting pawn incapable of making or being responsible for her own choices.
When he said, "When I stab you with my sword, you're going to feel it" my inner temperature may have gone up a little.
I am so glad that I'm sitting in a room by myself right now because I can't stop laughing after reading this statement and I didn't even THINK of it that way any of the three times I've seen this episode! I won't be able to think about it any other way now though so thanks a bunch for that, LMAO
Sorry! We've always used that word in our family, so as soon as she said it I was going, "Did she REALLY just say that??"
You're not the only one who didn't think of the phrase that way. I guess I was busy being "involved" in the show that I didn't pick up on such. Considering that I've heard that "curse" used that way at times ... well call me dense.
Now as to the wordplay between Hook & Emma -- I did have a bit of an inkling that he might have been referring to more than just the obvious. Considering that I watch this show on a time shift after The Good Wife and Survivor, perhaps my frame of mind was more in tune to such? Perhaps it's a bit of foreshadowing for when Hook gets to Storybrooke? Just a thought.
Bumping up this thread because the show comes back this weekend!!!!
Also, ABC is running a marathon of sorts tomorrow night and airing three episodes of OUAT from 8-11 PM EST. I believe the episodes they're airing are Broken (ep. 2x1), The Crocodile (ep. 2x4), and Tallahassee (ep. 2x6 and YAY because this one was one of my favorites! ). I plan to watch and hopefully anyone else who wants to get caught up a bit or just enjoy the shows again is able to watch tomorrow night too. They're also re-airing Queen of Hearts (ep. 2x9 aka, the winter finale) at 7 PM EST before the newest episode airs at the show's regular time (8 PM EST for me). I have missed this show SOOOO much and I cannot wait for Sunday!!!
Interesting to see which two episodes they chose to air besides the season premiere and winter finale. Methinks its because they want to reinforce certain characters and plots because they're important. I.e. August and Emma's baby daddy. And why Hook has it in for Gold, as well as reminding us about Bael.
I missed the first half hour of the show (I recorded it and will go watch it after the rest of the ABC lineup is done airing for the night) but what I saw was pretty awesome. I'll be back later tonight or tomorrow night with some thoughts but what did you guys think of tonight's episode?
I missed the whole thing cause I was tracking my daughter's flight back east to school. Colour me SAD
So someone's dead but we don't know who it is?? Whoa. Well played, Once upon a Time.
A solid episode with particularly excellent acting by Lana Parrilla.
But, then, once they arrived in the "new land", why didn't Regina kill Snow ASAP?
I guess she got greater pleasure from watching Mary Margaret live a lonely existence.
Loved this episode!
Charming: "It's nice that we can still give her a few traumatic childhood memories at this stage of the game." I was laughing SO HARD after this line and poor Emma's face was totally priceless! That's an image that will always take a while to get out of a daughter's head and the age of the daughter does not matter in this case at all, LMAO
