Get a COMPLETE 96 to 2000 350 vortec engine. You can pick up a good condition engine for less than $800. Factory roller cam and vortec heads are worth 50hp over the earlier non roller engines (like you have). Add a set of headers to make another 25hp.
Add a little more cam, better intake, and a little head work to make 350hp/380ftlbs.
If you what to make serious power then would then freshen up the engine, add a mild cam, drop compression to 7.5 to 8:1 cr, and add a turbo. 10 psi of boost will make around 500hp 550ftlb of torque on a mild 350. Use your megasquirt with bigger injecters (2x bigger).
See I am a little drawn back from just a H/C/I swap on a high mileage daily driver that goes on 200 to 300 mile road trips. I would rather it all be fresh as much as it gets driven..
I have looked around to see if I could find a 90's roller block 350. Just a bare one for around $100 , no luck and looked at 383 kits. For about $1100 you can get the stroker kit and have the machine work done on the block. By the time its said and done I will have $2500 in the 383. I can finish my big block for that.
If I rebuild the engine thats in the truck, then the truck would be down. I havent driven it 3 weeks anyways, fuel pump is going out.
Uploaded picture of my truck..
|I wouldn't throw a set of heads on the 350 without going through it 1st. If I was going to use the 350, I would consider a 383. That would give you a little more torq for towing and you could still get decent mileage. The BB will out pull and out run the SB but the 1 I done for the same reason as you are sure liked the gas. Towing or not.
Honestly I have seen much more luck on the trucks with high mileage to just long block it with a computer friendly cam. those can be done for reasonable from my re-builder..Of course most of those are work trucks that need to get back on the road for the guy to make some money with..
I am 3rd owner of the truck and the previus owner only put 28k miles on it in 6 years. I have put 2700 miles on it in 6 months. Mostly hwy road trips.. I am not looking to build a street strip truck. Just want plenty of tq to pull the race car or make the truck scoot when I want.
I just hate to get it all ready for H/C/I swap, then tear my 350 top end off to find worn cylinders or something.. I know many of people who do H/C/I on motors with over 130k miles. Mostly cars like Mustangs or Camaros, sure they get beat on more then my truck. My truck is also heavier..
Other weird issue is the engine temp never gets above 140 degrees. It takes hours of running to get it that warm. I have replaced so much stuff on this engine to work out the bugs, at one point i was just fed up with the 350 so I started building the BB. I can always save the BB for my race car project..
Thanks OneMoreTime.
I went through that decision process on my truck and have decided to just freshen the motor I have since it works fine the way it is..Of course it is no tire burner but it chases parts just fine and pulls the car trailer OK. Save my money for other things is what I am doing. Of course this is just my opinion..
Opinions needed on BBC swap vs upgrades for 350
I had been busy building a roller block .030 454.. Everything has been machined for the bigblock. After much testing the flow of my Bowtie heads, the pressure drop from the intake manifold runner to the head runner kills power production from 2400 to 3900 rpm. Its almost equal at 80hp and tq drop and then it starts to climb right back up once above 3800rpm.. Needless to say heads are just too big..
How we got the numbers was, having the heads flowed on a bench and using 3 desktop dyno simulators with head flow data and engine specs.. Each simulator shows pretty much the same thing except the Dyno 2000 inflates the tq number by 5 to 10% over the other two programs. So i need a smaller runner intake on the heads. My plans are aluminum heads , also means I need another set of pistons with a dome to compensate for 118cc chamber of most other aftermarket bbc heads.
This motor was going to go into My ext cab 1994 Chevy truck. I have everything for the BBC swap as far as accessory brackets and what not. Currently truck is Stock TBI 350 engine(roller block) and healthy built 4l60e trans, 14 bolt semi floater 3.73 gears.Truck has some issues with fuel pump and the throttle body. I think the TBI unit is worn out and I gotta upgrade the fuel pump either way. Was going to go mild BBC to have that TQ to get this thing moving. Its my daily commuter. About 10 to 15 miles a day is all its driven.
After a few discussions with my friend while doing a head and cam swap on his race car, he was asking me why not just head and cam swap my stock TBI 350 engine with 167k miles? I am not sure its even got that many miles on it. Block is nice and clean black paint but the heads have no paint on them. Looks like the heads have been atleast gone through already and the driver side head has leaking valve seals on #3 cylinder. Not much if any smoke comes out and compression test shows me the rings are still good.
I looked into the idea of good set of Aluminum heads and a computer friendly roller cam with new intake for the 350. All the dyno numbers completely surprised me on the parts upgrades . 416 HP at 5500rpm and 444 tq at 3800rpm with a nice almost flat tq curve from 2500 up. That took me a while trying all different types of hydraulic roller cams before I found one that has about what I am looking for. Its the XFI252 comp cam.. No stall needed and computer friendly.. I really wanted a cam to make some noise, but my main goal is good strong tq production. Most other roller cams kill the power figures under 3500 rpm..
I have a megasquirtII controler and harness, plus most of the stuff needed to go mpfi. This was my plan for the big block, seeing as how its way more cash to make the TBI system capable of supporting this kinda power for either engine... I can use the MSII on either engine.
Now let me ask u guys, would anyone here be comfortable with putting aluminum heads, roller cam and intake on a motor that might have 167K miles? I have done it on motors with less then 100k miles. I Wont know mileage for sure till I pull the heads. For less then $1400 I can do the upgrades on the 350. Where as I am still looking at another $2500 to finish the big block.
Sorry its long post, just wanted to lay it all out there..

As stated by others their customer service is TERRIBLE and their food is GROSS! I've wanted to sign up, several times, for their online program, but they absolutely REFUSE to let me speak with an RD before I do. Having several health concerns, I want to see how personalized the online diet plans can be before I sign up. That 's all I want to know yet they WILL NOT let me even email an RD to ask that 1 question. Now I'm trying to reach their corporate office to ask them but haven't gotten through to a live person after making FIVE calls. At this rate, their demise will be service related. You know what they say, "Give bad service and charge for it"!
I�??m pretty unimpressed. I bought the 7 day package for prepared meals and called to make sure that my account wasn�??t automatically recharged for a second week, as I�??m sure many online providers do. The representative wasn�??t very forth coming explaining how I would cancel the program and I was pretty disappointed with the overall design of the program. Very little upfront information and designed to make it as difficult as possible to cancel the program despite conscious inquiry. The representative didn�??t even mention I had to cancel on and ONLY on Thursday, so I�??m very happy I read over these reviews. If the plan had been more flexible, as opposed to feeling like a trap, I would have consider continuing with ediet.
That's more than sesinble! That's a great post!
This is an awful plan, there is no selection on their menu, you get charged $134 a week for 5 days worth of food that atse like flavored card board. Customer service is awful and will do anything to keep from refunding money.
STAY AWAY! What they don't tell you about their meal plans and shopping list is that the recipes don't work together so you have to buy an ingredient just so you can use a tablespoon of it and never need it again. The meals don't work together and it will get VERY expensive to follow their recommended meal plans. They also make you sign a 3 month agreement (hidden in the fine print) and charge you a $25 early cancellation fee if you cancel early because you don't like their service. STAY AWAY FROM THIS SCAM OPERATION!
E-diets-----customer service is horrible. I signed up and had the service for one week. I know when I signed up it said if for any reason I was not satisfied I would be refunded. The customer service reps, and supervisors refused to issue any type of refund. DONT WASTE YOUR TIME WITH COMPANYS SUCH AS E-DIETS WHO HAVE TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE
I looked at the website too and didn't get any response when I wanted to so I went to Marilyn's Plan and bought her book. I absolutely love it. For the first two weeks I walked around with my jaw on the ground. I just couldn't believe I was on a diet and it was actually working. It is really easy too.
i followed ediets back in 2001 and i fell in love with it...back then they only had their own diet plan which was good. At the time i was a college student living with my parents and had plenty of time to exercise (no husband, no kids, no job, no problem) I liked their convenience plan which was precooked meals you could buy from the grocery store...i lost 35 lbs in 6 months (with exercise of course) it sounds like a little bit of weight but since i was exercise i gained muscle which weighs more than fat BUT...i went from a size 16 to a size 10 which was pretty awesome....
I love ediets b/c nothing is carved in stone. Don't like a meal? Change it. Don't like an exercise? Change it. It's easy and simple to use and you check in once a week by yourself in the privacy of your own home, not surrounded by other people so you can die of embarrasment when they see you gained a pound that week. I love teh resources they have and the menus. They are very helpful and encouraging to me. But mostly, I like the fact that it's more private since weight is a private issue to me.
I have enjoyed using ediets. I have even spoken to a live nutritionist to help me with my diet. I think I have finally found a diet that I can stick to. It is a very motivating site.
I've been on the Ediets weight loss plan for about 3 months now and it works great! The recipes are very easy to prepare, and it's actually saved me money on food - saving more than ediets costs per week! The support group feature is also great, as it's good to get tips and encouragement from fellow dieters. Definitely a satisfied customer.
I had a terrible experience with customer service. I placed my order, then found that they would not be able to deliver on the regular Thursday, Friday, or Saturday, but instead would only deliver on Wednesday. I requested to either have my order delivered on Tuesday or canceled. This was all communicate well over a week before shipping. They refused to make any modification, emphasizing that the "terms and conditions" state that no cancellations are permitted for the first order.! Fishy?! I had no prior notice of the change in the shipping schedule before I placed my order. It took two business days before they even responded to my email. "24 hour live chat" was not available on three week days in the early evening. Supervisors were not available when I called and I was told I would receive a return call within 15 minutes, but instead close to closing hours, a voicemail message was left for me. My advice, BUYER BEWARE!
I have not been able to enter the ediet website.
Summer - Only 20 diets? That's a pretty big variety for me :) Anyway, eDiets has been great so far, and definitely worth the small weekly cost. I find that their recipe planning shopping list actually saves me money on groceries since I stick to it and don't buy more than I need. No more spoiled food in the fridge!
I just got off the phone for the second time with Ediets.com and I would have to say DO NOT USE THEM! After 5 weeks of being on the meal delivery program, they stopped sending me the meals, yet continued to charge my card. When I called customer service, I was told they never charged me, then charged me again and never sent the food. I finally told them to cancel my membership. I am still trying to get all the money refunded to me that they took and never provided me with food.
eDiets has blewn it big time! I was a member from 2002 until 2008 and I loved the recipes, meal plans, and shopping lists you could edit. They revamped the Website on Feb 12, 2008 and it still isn't working, nearly 2 months later! The meal plans print in a teeny tiny font you can't see without reader glasses. The shopping list appeared, uneditable, and reappeared editable, but it disappeared again on Mar 12 and it hasn't come back yet. There is no one there in the live chat. If you email them, you get an auto-reply and then nothing. I have emailed and called with poor satisfaction. I finally called to cancel and they said I had already cancelled in January! I didn't! I am still being billed monthly. I wrote a letter and mailed it. I hope they cancel me soon and this is over. SparkPeople.com is VERY cool and it's free, so I am losing weight there now.
I tried this diet for 4 weeks. Some weeks they sent the food late. Another week they just didn't send it at all. They are impossible to reach by phone. I've had to hold for almost an hour every time I try to call. They said they were having technical difficulties, causing the mailing problems and that this is in turn impacting the phones. I don't really care. I signed up so I wouldn't have to think about my diet.
the site has majically reappeared. And it looks new - must have launched a new site

Draper • Christine Celestino wasn't a fan of anatomy class when she was a student. Memorizing Latin and Greek names of muscles didn't hold her attention.
Then how does the doctorate-holder find herself teaching anatomy and other biology classes at Juan Diego?
"I think because I didn't really like it so much when I was younger is why [students] seem to like the way I teach it now," Celestino said. "I teach it in a way I would have liked when I was taking it.
"I try to figure out ways to make it interesting and relatable, to keep their attention. Otherwise, memorizing a bunch of Latin names is just terrible."
She does this by appealing to the teenage crowd. It can be as simple as using the films such as Avatar and Star Wars in a lesson plan on how to tell which characters are "good" and which are not. It's all about locating the sternocleidomastoid muscle the large one that stretches down the neck from the skull to the clavicle.
"To help them remember that one, I was talking about how in Avatar and Star Wars and Star Trek, they use this muscle [in the neck] to show humanoid aliens," Celestino said. "James Cameron gave the Na'vi people sternocleidomastoids so we would look at them and be sympathetic to them.
"If you watch Star Wars and Star Trek, the good aliens have sternocleidomastoids and the evil aliens do not."
In the world of education, Celestino definitely is one of the "good guys." She recently earned the honor as Utah's Biology Teacher of the Year, presented by the National Association of Biology Teachers.
Celestino, who earned her doctoral degree at the University of Utah, received the recognition as much for her work outside the classroom as in it. She helped create and organize Juan Diego's Academy of Sciences a program geared toward encouraging students to pursue careers in science, engineering, match and technology and created the Summer Science Internship Program
She also is the adviser of the school's Pre-Med Club and has developed internship programs, among several extracurricular activities on her calendar.
She also seems to get through to her students.
"She does a lot of labs and talks a lot about the practical applications of what we are learning," said senior Marley Lebrecht. "It's not just about the vocabulary."
Said senior Alex Gudac: "She's outstanding, different from a lot of other teachers. There's a lot of hands-on experience that really gets you in the mode and goes into your long-term memory."
Through the internship program, Juan Diego students serve summer internships at the University of Utah. Senior Elodie Gourgeon studied the encephalitis virus' role in epilepsy during her internship, and is a student in Celestino's Anatomy & Physiology and Concurrent Human Biology classes.
"She knows almost anything," Gourgeon said. "You can ask her a question, and she'll know about it. She really makes it interesting and makes you want to look into it further, and get more information for yourself."
Celestino became a teacher in 2006 after doing neuroscience research at the University of Utah. She said the award means her hard work improving as an educator has paid off.
"I don't necessarily see myself as being that special," said Celestino, who is originally from upstate New York. "I'm surrounded by really great teachers here.
"It's really nice to get the recognition. I've worked really hard and done a lot of professional development. It's something I've really had to focus on, to be a good educator. It's nice to hear recognition for that."

It might happen suddenly, like a flash of lightning. Or gradually, like raindrops filling a jar. Our universal and awakened nature, the Buddha taught, can emerge in calm or in crisis. And then, as our path deepens, we must learn to embody our vision as we navigate the unexpected turns of the mystery.

"Another Beauty From Jack Kornfield"
Jack Kornfield has the most calming, even and balanced speaking voice and manner that just listening to him is centering all on its own. But, be aware--his message trumps his fantastic presentation style--which is really saying something. Positive and uplifting. Highly recommended as a wonderful listening experience.
Love books! Classics and lighter fiction, mysteries (not too violent please :-). And selective non-fiction--whatever takes my fancy.
"An inspiration"
Inspiring, peace-promoting, wise
Kornfield's other works, perhaps especially "Wise Heart." Would certainly include other wise people who are offering Buddhist wisdom to westerners such as (but not limited to) Thich Naht Hanh, Pema Chodren, Tara Brach, Phillip Moffitt, Ezra Bayda.
Kornfield is a former Buddhist monk who is able to offer understandable explanations of a complex system of thought, little available to westerners until recently. I have been reading and listening to his works for several years. I read and re-read and/or listen to them. His unfolding of Buddhist thought for people perhaps little familiar with it has been part of a larger movement in this society finding a lot of enthusiasm with people hungry for the eastern insights as a balance to western lifestyle.
The contrast of thinking that is about loving-kindness, personal responsibility, seeking wisdom through patience, compassion and self regulation with so much western emphasis on competition, aquisition, winning, war and destruction of the earth and its resources is more than refreshing.
It is a relief to have found an entire ( and long-practiced) tradition of thought that embraces peace and a well balanced life. His introduction to meditation, illustrations drawing on many sources (including other than Buddhist thought) always leaves me feeling in touch with parts of life that can easily get lost in our busy daily shuffle.
I love listening to him, his voice is so calming. This is a particularly good recording.
"Awakening is real"
This audiobook met my expectations and more. Kornfield is a heartfelt narrator. Felt as if I was present with the group at the retreat.
"Don't miss this one!"
Jack Kornfield is a top notch storyteller and brings to light the basic teachings of mindfulness in a light hearted and interesting way. I gained so many insights listening to his lecture and he's built in humor too! As an experienced meditator I really enjoyed recieving a deeper understanding of Eastern teachings.
I catch a lot of drive time and enjoy a good listen.
"Very nice..."
I have not listened to Jack before and was pleasantly surprised. The lectures seem to be live and the production is very nice. The humor in his talks leads me to a relaxed and open state. Jack is most excellent communicator, knows his stuff and has a talent for bringing it to life. These talks will always be something I refer to when needing a grounding. Hope you enjoy them as much as I do. Get them for your library! They are The Best!
"Totally Good..."
I throughly appreciated all the messages in this audio book. My first introduction to Jack Kornfield. Very easy to listen to...very calming.
I have a rather eclectic love of books. I know what I like and I tend not to be a severe critic. If I enjoyed it, it gets 4 or 5 stars.
"Great listen!"
This is not a book - it is a series of lectures. Jack Kornfield is funny and inspirational. I enjoyed his stories very much. It is a nice introduction to how people awaken.
"Jack Kornfield is amazing"
I already did. This information is made to be shared.
Jack Kornfield does not take himself too seriously. I love his sense of humor.
No, I wanted to take my time with it. It's something you need to process before you move on.
"Politics and Buddhism"
At times there seemed to a confusion between modern political beliefs and the message of the Buddha. The ideas seemed to be grounded on an attachment to political/social "beliefs," rooted in an economic exchange prejudice, rather than a heightened understanding of dharma. I understand how difficult it is for many to discern the difference; however this message is to those unattached to political agendas who may be disappointed by the mud in the water.

The height sensor is on the frame in between the rear wheels. You can see the rubber brake line come through it and go down to the rear axle. You can definitely put it under the hood, it would just make the fuel hotter which, technically, would rob horsepower. I don't know if it's enough heat to cause problems, hasn't caused any issues for me. An inline fuel gauge will work just fine. It will have an inlet and outlet, I would just put it close to the carb. Edelbrock may have a gauge that connects to the carb. The gauge isn't really needed but would tell you exactly what pressure you are getting. I ran one but it leaked so I took it out and haven't hooked another one up.
Re: 1984 Coupe DeVille Engine Swap!
Got a bit of work done today! There should be even more done tomorrow.
First off, the mail came today and THIS came in from eBay:
And best of all...
Looking swanky with those factory wires!
After I spent a few minutes drooling over my new brochure, I went downstairs and dug my old battery out of the bottom of my tool cart. After sitting for 3 years, it STILL read 9.xxx volts when I put my voltmeter on it! I brought it up to the porch and popped the service caps off, and topped up the water with some fresh distilled.
Then I hooked it up to the battery charger and set it to low. I'll let it sit over night, and see what kind of power it holds tomorrow. I want to plug the battery into the car tomorrow to see if I can get the engine to turn over. Fingers crossed!
After all of this shocking activity ( ), I drove over to my cousin's place, and got my new power steering high-pressure hose o-ringed and tightened down. I also was able to reuse the stock low-pressure power steering hose by spinning it around and plugging it directly into the new ('83 Olds) power steering pump. All I had to do then was tighten up the hose clamps. Aside from filling the system with fluid, I am COMPLETELY DONE with the power steering system!!!
Once I was finished fiddling with the steering, I decided that it might be a good idea to reinstall and tighten the belts. Since my A/C system is still a mess of not-quite-right bracketry, I didn't install a belt for that at this time. I did put on the crank to water pump to power steering pump belt, and the water pump to alternator belt. The power steering pump belt tightened up just fine, but I REALLY had to wrestle the alternator to get the belt tight. You need three hands to hold the belt tight and get the alternator adjustment bolts cranked down! Stupid brackets!
Tomorrow I hope to get the radiator, fan shroud, and fan in, and also get the starter and grounds hooked up so I can (hopefully) hear this baby crank for the first time! Wish me luck!

Re: 1984 Coupe DeVille Engine Swap!
Those Olds Alternator brackets, man. I introduced Craig to them in Saint Augustine last year. He was utterly baffled by their design.
With my overwhelmingly abundant experience with them though, I have become quite adept at adjusting them. Never really have an issue with them. I mean, yes, it is still an absurd design.
When you start it up, get us a video.
On a semi-related note, it seems that Summit Racing now offers an engine cradle for the bigblock Cadillac motors. I too may soon have a first startup video of an engine, albeit it would not actually be in a car...or have any sort of exhaust...but who needs an exhaust...

'Nother Vacation Dave!
SWEET Matt! I'm rootin' for ya!
Re: 1984 Coupe DeVille Engine Swap!
I didn't get nearly as much done as I wanted to today. The Caddy decided to fight me the entire way.
Things started well enough, as I got the car jacked up.
I proceeded to haul myself under the car, meaning to attach the wires to the starter solenoid. I forgot to bring a flashlight, and I found that I couldn't remember what wires went where anyway. I figured that I would deal with that later, so I moved on to the cooling system.
The Caddy didn't give me any trouble as I attached the cooling fan.
This is where things started to derail a bit. As you can tell in the picture, the fan hits the shroud. It sits farther to the driver side and higher than it did on the HT4100, even though it is the same fan.
After discovering this, I didn't really know what to do, so I let the cooling system alone for the day. I did have an idea, but I will get to that later.
I decided to go to the parts store and get some hose fittings for the radiator ends of the trans cooler lines. They are at an awkward angle, and I figured some hose fittings and rubber hoses would be an easy way around that. (I don't really want to hack into the lines and re-flare them, hence the hunt for the fittings.)
When I got to the parts store, I found this:
It was about the same size around as my factory fan, and being electric, it eliminates the need for a shroud entirely. I have no idea if this fan is good, but it got me thinking about the dual electric fans I saw in a mid-90's Fleetwood Brougham at the junkyard. (Actually, after talking with Stingroo, I might go for a late 80's/early 90's 3.8 Ford Taurus electric fan. I guess those move CRAZY air.)
After looking for my biggest fan (see what I did there?) I resumed my search for trans cooler hose fittings. After trips to Advance Auto, O'Reilly's, and Auto Zone, I finally cobbled together enough brass to connect hose fittings to the radiator itself, and the ends of the trans cooler lines. These are what I ended up with:
All of this dinking around ONLY took me an hour and a half. I got back, thread-taped all of the connections on my couplers, and decided to hang it up for the evening. I didn't want to get frustrated at the car, and I was getting there quick enough, especially after finding out I had lost one of the connectors somewhere in transit, and had to go back and buy another.
So next on my list of things to do is to cut down the bottom half of my fan shroud, leaving nothing but the mounting holes and the radiator mounting pads. I will begin my search for an electric fan after that. Anybody here running an electric fan on a vehicle that originally had a mechanical fan? If so, any info on the swap would be appreciated.
Also, does anybody have a picture of the wiring on their Olds 307 starter? I cannot for the life of me find a good picture of that. Any other starter wiring info would be GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks for listening to my griping about a pretty nonproductive day. You guys help keep me sane when this kind of stuff happens!
Thanks gentleman! Let me know what you think!
Re: 1984 Coupe DeVille Engine Swap!
Baby steps Matt, baby steps.
Rueben (CadForce69) taught me that with his build and advice. Don't try to do it all at once. After not touching Sally for 6 months just getting it up on the jack stands and looking under it was my first day accomplishment. Then I played with the paint stripping for a while since it is easy and mentally rewarding.
For all the dirty PITA work, end the day with something fun and cosmetic. Eventually the PITA work will get along far enough that it is rewarding and satisfying. Until then, reward yourself with something stupid that makes feel better about the car.
I thought I was your biggest fan!
Re: 1984 Coupe DeVille Engine Swap!
(I meant engine-cooling wise, Dave! I really don't think you want to be packed under the hood, blowing on the radiator! )
A 307 caddy shroud should be easy to find and solve your fan issue 100%
Re: 1984 Coupe DeVille Engine Swap!
Hey Kevin, could you post up a picture of your starter solenoid in either your Caddy or Buick? I need some wiring to reference...
- 08-11-13 08:58 AM #404Originally Posted by greencadillacmatt
As for pics of the starter solenoid wiring on my buick, sure! (Remember, my caddy has a chevy 350 under the hood) Where is the starter solenoid exactly?
Re: 1984 Coupe DeVille Engine Swap!
I didn't think to look and see if the Olds 350 fan and the HT4100 fan spin different ways. Good idea, Kevin! The starter solenoid is the smaller cylinder on top of the main body of the starter. If it isn't too much of a pain to take a picture of I'd greatly appreciate it! Thanks!

Historically, the British Labor Party was in the forefront of fighting to end war and to work for peace in the world. Unfortunately, they selected Tony Blair as their party's leader and this man forged a friendship with the brilliant leader of the United States–George Bush. Tony, the man with the backbone of a chocolate eclair, blindly followed the nincompoop from Texas into the tragedy that is Iraq, wasted billions of dollars and left his nation angry and confused. Add on the debacle of handling a world-wide economic disaster and it is no surprise most inhabitants of the UK no longer trust the Labor Party.
An overwhelming majority of voters believe Labor does not tell the truth about the state of the nation's finances. About 43% support the Conservative Party, 26% favor Labor, 19% are for the LIberal Democrats and the remainder are trying to figure out if anyone is ready to tell the truth.
If one lies down with the dogs of war eventually one will have the stink of lies and deception hang onto one's body.

LAKE BUTLER -- It was the most exciting fourth quarter of basketball I have watched any Williston Lady Red Devil basketball team play in five seasons. This game had everything any Red Devil fan could have asked for and more.
Union County (21-4) escaped with the win 51-50 and ended the Red Devils season simply because they made free throws and the Red Devils came up short at the foul line, especially in the fourth quarter where they hit just 4-of-13 free throws.
CHIEFLAND -- Trailing Chiefland 4-2 going into the sixth inning, the Williston Lady Red Devils found their hitting groove and exploded for four runs to beat the Indians 6-4, before a large crowd in Chiefland on Tuesday.
CHIEFLAND -- Williston boys' basketball beat P.K. Yonge 74-67 in overtime to capture their second consecutive district championship. As in the game the night before against Chiefland, a balanced attack helped the Red Devils overcome a game-long assault by Blue Wave leaders Josh Snodgrass and Autis Gibson. Ultimately, the Wave had no answer to huge play by Williston's sophomore big man James Hunt, who simply dominated the paint.

A few weeks ago I went to the dentist. And, as usual, he was not happy. You see, I have "weak" teeth. I brush and I floss and I hardly ever drink soda but I still have "weak" teeth.
So I was very excited to hear about IBM's new announcement on breakthrough nanotechnology. IBM announced the first-ever manufacturing application of "self assembly" used to create a vacuum -- the ultimate insulator -- around nanowires for next-generation microprocessors. And the performance is outstanding - the electrical signals on the chips can flow 35 percent faster compared to the most advanced chips using conventional techniques.
We are told that this self assembly concept occurs in nature every day. It is how complex snowflakes are made, how seashells are created, and very importantly, how enamel is formed on our teeth. With this most significant semiconductor technology innovation in a decade, could this "doughnut design" also actually be good for teeth?

Is Infinity like Rakion if it is which is better?
Seems like it^^
Well the 2 games are similar but different. I would say Infinity is the best. The big problem with Rakion is the lag. It depends of each person. Anyway Infinity is dead for now. There lot much combos in Infinity, more characters and and all your characters gains the levels but they dont change much things. There really less stages in Infinity but you always gain reward with money exp or items. You can dress your characters with some clothes and hair dyes which I think you wanted for Rakion in another topic. Infinity is like a mix of Survival Project and Rakion.
The english version was host by gamengame.com. They closed it and said they would bring back an ``Infinity 2`` in summer but they are always late and there was no news about it lately. There also the Korean version that is up but I dont know the site.
In conclusion, Infinity is better Rakion is too buggy and laggy but its still really good of what I think. Infinity is really addicting and I never got tired of it.
Currently trying to stop being a computer addict and have a FCKING LIFE!... Again... >_>
I have played both and both r quite entertaining.But now days, i have left playing both of them.
Rakion is dieing, it use to be great but now the creators are cash hungry and have ruined the game.
when your video game console is broken, do you want to save money? Repairing it on your own is a great way to save lots of money not only on the cost of the replacement, but the cost of labor as well. It's easy to repair it with the guideline, so you just need a screwdrive and a new replacement which you can get cheaply from GainGame.

The 2013 Toyota Land Cruiser offers comfort, safety and full-time four-wheel drive for a quality package. This vehicle has found a reliable market in over 180 countries worldwide. This vehicle comes standard with numerous amenities that guarantee comfort and style satisfaction for the most particular owner.
The Land Cruiser is available in several attractive colors, including Classic Silver Metallic, Sonora Gold Pearl, Magnetic Gray Metallic, Amazon Green Metallic, Salsa Red Pearl, Blizzard Pearl and Black. Interior colors are available in black and sandstone.
Standard exterior features include High Intensity Discharge headlights featuring automatic level control, automatic on/off, headlight cleaners and an integrated Land Cruiser logo to give them style. It also has fog lights, LED tail and stoplights with an integrated logo, heated automatic dimming exterior mirrors with memory features, 18-in. five-spoke alloy wheels, rain-sensing aerodynamic windshield wipers and an intermittent rear wiper. Other features include a windshield wiper de-icer, tinted glass on the back end, quarter and liftgate windows. A roof rack, back spoiler, front and back frame-mounted tow hooks and skid plates are installed. The vehicle's transfer case add more storage capability, style and protection to an already quality package.
Interior standard features also scream luxury. These include a 4-zone auto front and back climate control that has an air filter with allergen filtration mode. Also, the driver, front passenger and rear-seat passengers can choose separate temperatures to ride in their own personal ideal comfort. A premium HD Navigation system that includes Toyota's Entune system, an 8-in. touch-screen, 14 speakers (including a subwoofer) and SiriusXM Satellite Radio capability are just the start of the interior luxury features.
The Entune system provides access to Bing and iheartradio for the ability to purchase tickets for a movie or make dinner reservations. This entertainment system also gives occupants the chance to listen to Pandora, while the XM Data services included in the Land Cruiser package provides access to traffic, weather, stocks and fuel cost information. With a 24.6 gallon fuel tank and a projected 13 miles per gallon for city driving and 18 mpg for highway travel, some forethought to fuel purchases can be a worthwhile endeavor.
Other features that make the Land Cruiser a truly admirable cruising machine are the multi-terrain monitor, with the choice of front, side or rear views. The perforated leather trim on all eight vehicle seating positions, multi-stage heated and ventilated front seats, a 10-way adjustable driver's seat, 8-way adjustable passenger seat and the two-level center console with a cooler box make this a comfortable ride. There are also 12 cup and container holders throughout the vehicle, front and backsub door storage pockets and maplights in both the front and second rows. Three 12V cigarette power outlets, two in the front and one in the back cargo area, keep all necessary electronics able to access power when required.
The multi-information display in the Land Cruiser includes the ability to select multiple terrains, view the shifter's position, present and mean fuel economy information, average speed, steering wheel orientation and information from the parking assist sonar.
The standard entertainment system in the Land Cruiser boasts 14-speakers featuring a subwoofer, along with SiriusXM Satellite Radio with a 3-month complementary subscription, High Definition Radio with iTunes, and a USB port featuring iPod compatibility. This vehicle also features a cutting edge voice recognition system and the ability to stream music through built-in Bluetooth technology. The eight-inch touch-screen with split screen capacity and integrated backup camera display increases the standards for visuals in the Toyota models. A rear-seat DVD entertainment system keeps back seat passengers happy with a nine-inch display, while a remote and two wireless headphones keep other passengers out of the loop as necessary.
The 5.7-litre DOHC V-8 engine has two independent variable valve trimmings with intelligence, and the six-speed electronically maintained auto transmission also has intelligence. These features help optimize fuel use and vehicle performance without additional effort from the driver.
The full-time four-wheel drive with Active Traction Control and Torsen limited-slip differential with a locking feature begin the impressive list of performance and safety features included in the Land Cruiser repertoire. Other safety features include the Star Safety System, drive and front passenger active headrests and an active seatbelt pretensioning system. 3-point seatbelts at all seating positions and an automatic/emergency locking retractor on ever occupants' belts are standard on every model. The driver's seat has an emergency locking retractor as well. There are movable front and middle-row outboard seatbelt anchors, child protector rear doorlocks and a power window lockout. The vehicle includes the driver and front passenger Advanced Airbag System, operator and front passenger seat-installed side airbags, knee airbags and all-row Roll-Sensing side curtain airbags.
A tire pressure monitor system, front and back parking assist sonar, a collision warning system, an off-road turning assist system, a trailer-centering system, and a Hill Start Assist Control up the ante slightly to provide comfort for drivers and passengers of the Land Cruiser. Ventilated disc brakes and a multi-terrain four-wheel drive ABS with Electronic Braking Distribution and brake assist also make for safer driving in all conceivable conditions. The mud-and-snow-rated, steel-belted radial Blackwall tires don't hurt either when it comes to inclement weather or tortuous winter conditions in some notable countries.
Its advanced suspension system, with independent double-wishbone front suspension and four-link rear suspension, both with coil springs and a stabilizer bar, create a great base for off-road experience. That, coupled with the Crawl Control and aforementioned Off-Road Turn Assist, guarantee the adventures where the path is left behind are manageable and memorable at the same time.
Cargo volume in the Land Cruiser is also a notable factor when considering a purchase. Behind the third row alone, there is 16.1 cu. ft. of space. With the third row folded, that area increases to 43 cu. ft., while folding the second row and removing the third row altogether allows for an impressive 81.7 cu. ft. This means a great area for the camping gear or luggage for simple trips and a great amount of space for any major excursions that require a significant amount of paraphernalia.
Base price for the Land Cruiser is $78,255. For the best savings, search for used cars.

ATLANTA --- No. 16 North Carolina outscored Georgia Tech 11-4 over the game's final four minutes and three seconds and the Tar Heels held on for a 60-58 victory Sunday at McCamish Pavilion. Tierra Ruffin-Pratt finished with 14 points and 10 rebounds and scored six of Carolina's final nine points to help seal UNC's 22nd win of the season and give Sylvia Hatchell sole possession of second place on the all-time wins list.
UNC (22-3, 10-2 Atlantic Coast Conference) was in control for much of the game and looked poised to run away with it after building a 9-point lead early in the second half.
But the physical Yellow Jackets (10-14, 3-10) rallied behind leading scorer Tyaunna Marshall and her layup with 6:29 to play put the hosts ahead 50-48. Another Marshall bucket with 4:13 to go made it 54-49 before the Tar Heels started their game-winning rally.
Latifah Coleman, who finished with career highs of 13 points and six steals, made a pair of free throws to pull UNC within three just before the under-4 media timeout.
Ruffin-Pratt then connected on back-to-back mid-range jumpers to break a 10-minute field goal drought for the Tar Heels and give Carolina the lead at 55-54.
After Georgia Tech's Nariah Taylor made one of two free throws, Xylina McDaniel made a pair to push the UNC advantage to 57-55. Aaliyah Whiteside then made one of two before Marshall stole a Coleman pass under her own bucket and scored to put Tech back up by a point.
Marshall fouled Ruffin-Pratt right after the restart, however, and the Alexandria, Va., senior made both to put Carolina ahead. Whiteside got an open look at what would have been the winning 3, but the long jumper hit the front iron and the ball deflected out of bounds off the Yellow Jackets.
Megan Buckland, who made four 3s in the opening 20 minutes, threw the ensuing in-bounds pass deep to McDaniel, who dribbled out the clock to secure the thrilling victory.
The win was the second milestone win for Hatchell in as many games as the 27-year head coach moved past longtime Texas coach Jody Conradt for second all-time in career wins with 901.
Carolina will return home Thursday, Feb. 14, at 7 p.m. when the Tar Heels host Wake Forest at Carmichael Arena.

Dear Lucy,
I am so astonished when I read your suggestion here. Your ideas are great. I will some of your advice. I hope you can give me information about English training to company employees.
I am working as English teacher in one university in China. Teaching English major students is very easy to manage because they are not reluctant to speak. Non-English major students and other people who are not exposed to English language often is some kinna difficult to manage because they are shy, they dont have the courage to speak and they dont know how to say in English.
This is the problem i will be facing next week because I will be facilitating some employees. These employees were chosen by their company to improve their English skills particularly their speaking. The class is divided into two level, Pre-intermediate and Intermediate. They are in their early 30's to early 50's.
May you please recommend how to train this kind of special students and what book can you recommend?
Looking forward

Noiced a price jump for the HK P2000SK in minneapolis, no change in laws
I went to Gander mtn today and was shock to see that all their revolvers jump 100 to 200 dollars. They told me all their guns are going up and had no reason. After I left and had time to think it slapped me in the face as to why. Last night I saw on the news that it will be legal for anyone who can buy a handgun to carry one under their seat in a car and you don't have to have a permit to carry. They stated it's another victory for the NRA.
I will no longer buy anything from gander Mtn and their to expensive anyways and to take advantage because there are no other gun stores around here.
The problem I have with this law is that the people who will go out and buy a revolver to carry with them in their car will have no training. They will start making mistakes and make us permit holders look bad. Sometimes the NRA I feel goes to far. If someone is concerned enough about their safety then let them get a permit and the training that goes along with it.
Noiced a price jump for the HK P2000SK in minneapolis, no change in laws
Gander Mtn. is the most expensive place to buy pistols that I've ever seen. The same Kahr that the local gun shop wants $399 for is $539 at GM. Most of GM's used pistols are priced above what the local gunshops will charge for new ones.

Kris Jenner: On the Warpath Against Child Protection Services Prank Caller
She's the matriarch of one the most famous families in the world, so Kris Jenner was furious when someone called Child Protective Services to report that she was abusing her daughters.
According to a report, a prank caller told CPS that the "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" star was mistreating Kylie and Kendall Jenner, however nothing could be farther from the truth.
An insider told press, "[The complaint was] ridiculous because Kylie wasn't even in the country the day the caller claimed she was in danger. She was in the Philippines." And funny enough CPS didn't find anything about which to be concerned.
Jenner's rep blasted the whole ordeal- "It's such a shame that anyone can make up such hurtful and hideous untruths especially when children are involved. We are taking this matter very seriously and investigating to find out who is responsible for fabricating such a terrible story and will take the necessary legal action so that this does not happen again."

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Well...I purchased new insoles and WOW what a difference! My toes do not feel as cramped against the end of the boot now. They definitely touch and have a slight curl but its not as uncomfortable. The toe box in these boots is just very small and new insoles make it even more snug on all sides - which is fine and will likely pack out a bit.
Anyway, I'm keeping the boots and do plan to heat mold the intuition liners one more time - while wearing a toe cap.
The insoles I got are the Sole Signature EV Series ($45 shipped). They are heat moldable - which I did prior to installing them for the first time.
Sole Signature EV Ultra Footbeds | The Insole Store
|Re-mould them with toe caps? Seems like the logical quick fix.
You are probably all correct that the heat molding process melted the glue and caused the shifting. Regardless, those are shabby insoles. I've ordered the Sole Signature EV Ultra footbeds
(Sole Signature EV Ultra Footbeds | The Insole Store) - $45 shipped.
I've only ever bought 2 pairs of new boots so I'm not used to the process....but, after reading more on this site, I understand they are supposed to be uncomfortable (or less comfortable than hiking boots).
Less comfortable = more functional (increased response)
More comfortable = less functional (foot slides around)
I'll keep these and hope they pack out nicely...hopefully before I lose a toenail!
ya homie, your shop fucked up.
Like someone said, it looks like the shop left the stock insoles inside the boot when heat molding them, you're supposed to take them out, otherwise they get warped and fucked, like yours did. Call them and complain.
Don't forget that boots will pack out a half size or even a full size depending on the brand. Most of the boots I've ridden fit great for the first few days and then packed out and were even a bit too big for me. It's a good thing they are snug. Ride them for a few days and see what happens. In the perfect boot your toes touch the toe box when standing straight up. When bending your knees they won't touch.
And definitely get custom footbeds. There's a lot of them out there. I use and suggest footprint game changers.
Nivek is right... keep the insoles incase you wanna sell the boots off. but those are pretty flimsy and floppy. New supportive insoles will be a bit more ridged. plan to spend 30-50 bucks
Also if you have fallen arches will make boots weird to size... Insoles will help keep arches arched and stop your foot from flattening out (getting longer)
IF you only just got them they should be a a little tight... feeling your toe in front of the boot is ok (but not curled up)... if you tie up the boots and flex your boot do you feel the toe pull back off the front??? if so probably jsut a case of breaking in... Heat molding only goes so far... having your foot in the boot jumping around, creating heat, is where the real molding takes place.
I have K2 boots with the same insoles. I'm swapping them out for custom footbeds this year. Those look like they came apart during the heat molding process. My shop removed the insoles while heating them and only put them back in when the took the boots out of the over and I put them on my feet while still hot.
They also used the toe-caps when heat molding which really helped open up the toe-box for me. I love my K2 boots but I did find the toe-box too snug until they blew them out.
I bought the boots from a shop in Colorado that shipped them to me. I didn't want to send them back but I think I'm going to. After looking through all of my shoes, most are size 11 - only one pair is a 10.5 (must just run big). I also know that K2 boots historically run small so getting a 11.5 sounds normal. I also found out that they are full-size differences - not just different liners or insoles.
The stock insoles are JUNK. I actually sent pictures of them to K2. For a higher-end boot, I was shocked to see what came out of there. I plan to buy Superfeet or Sole insoles.
The boots are snug when standing. My big toe is slightly curled (scrunched) when standing straight up. When leaning back on my heel, it definitely gets tighter. I'll put them in the mail tomorrow and get the 11.5.
Here are pictures of the junky insole...
Heel lifts are a ski boot fix. Snowboard boots are not as exact so fixes like that are overkill. Get them molded again with toe caps.
Take out the insole and stand on it making sure your heel is in the pocket of the insole. Does your foot fill out the insole? Or spill over? A lot of spill over means too small.
Second, take that insole you just took out of the boot, and ceremoniously light it on fire and throw it away. It is useless. Go buy some supportive aftermarket insoles. Superfeet and Remind are two good options.
Originally Posted by Veccster View Post

I recently purchased a pair of K2 Maysis boots - size 11. I wear a 10.5 street shoe but these boots are SNUG. Haven't had them in the snow yet but, if I pretend to get on a heel edge, I can feel my toes curling against the front of the boot.
So I called the shop and they suggested heat molding the boots. Oddly enough, they did not use the toe cap or extra socks that I read about on here so I hope that is not a problem.
Anyway, heat molding helped but it's still a bit snug. They then recommended putting a small heel spacer under the insole. Apparently raising the sole will bring the toes back a bit.
Any thoughts on all of this? I'm sorry if this is a stupid question!

text: Hey everyone! New to the forums and just wanted to post and say I just got the v3 accessport and installed in it on my stock wrx. I didnt notice any power gain at all but did notice a slightly smoother power delivery and more noise from under the hood. Read about Torqued Performance and decided for the $85 to give their tune a shot. Anyone have any good or bad to say about them compared to the Cobb? Looking for the best performance possible with stage 1 for now but also not interested in toasting my engine. Any feedback is appreciated

How to remove part of ODE solution containing (0.+0.i)'s
Hi Group,
When solving an ODE i get the correct result, but a lot of (0.+0.i)
expressions are included. How can i tell Mathematica(V5) to discard
these "nearly" zero's. Guess it is something about precision or accuracy.
Best regards (Mathematica-newbee)

Cream was a 1960s three-piece British band consisting of bassist/lead vocalist Jack Bruce, guitarist/vocalist Eric Clapton, and drummer Ginger Baker, having formed in London, England. They were known as one of the first great power trios and supergroups of rock. Their sound was characterised by a hybrid of blues, hard rock and psychedelic rock. Cream combined Clapton's blues guitar playing with the powerful and airy voice and intense bass lines of Jack Bruce and the manic drumming of Ginger Baker. Read more on Last.fm more

Good afternoon all, I have a question for you. I am not new to teaching ESL but my role now over International education as a whole puts me in charge of an ESL program with about 100 students. Currently the program operates on 7 week terms. I would prefer they be on semesters as the rest of the institution. I am not familiar with any academic rationale for making this change but I have to think that longer, slower language learning would be better. I have always in the past taught in semester programs so I am skeptical of 7 weeks. My concerns are also, due to my role as a director, the ease of management, burnout of teachers, classroom space, housing and other issues such as difficulty in planning excursions and other activities that will help the students get involved on campus. All would be better in a semester program I feel.
If you have any insight into this issue, please share. I would of course love to have some academic rationale for making the switch if any such information exists. Thanks so much!
