Real history:
1965 Malibu Z16
In February of '65, at the GM Proving Ground in Mesa, Arizona, Chevy debuted the 396/325-hp V-8 and a 425-hp solid-lifter version for the 'Vette.
The Chevelle lacked a big-block option, but one was actually offered via a "secret" program. The Z 16 "Malibu SS 396" was the official name of the hot 365-hp car. It was not promoted, since assemblies were extremely limited.
The reason?
It was specially engineered at a high cost. On the surface, the Z16 looked like a Chevelle with a 396, but it went beyond that. It was more like a big car than a midsize car, and Chevy wasn't ready to mass produce it. The coupe had an H.D. ragtop frame, reinforced rear suspension, and two added body mounts. "Big-car" 11-inch power drums brakes were fi tted, along with stiff springs and shocks. The L37 V-8 had special left- and right-side exhausts. It was linked to a four-speed. An 8.875-inch ring gear was specified. Features unique to the Z16 included and air cleaner
with metal crossed flags, "396 Turbo-jet" badges, a special taillight board with an SS emblem and a unique ribbed black molding. All Z16 Chevelles had a 160-mph speedo, an AM-FM Multiplex four-speaker stereo, and in-dash tach. Chevy made 201 of the Z16s.
Z16 was the RPO (Regular Production Option) code given to the 396 engine option in the 1965 Chevelle and was used internally by Chevrolet. The Z16 is the 1965 Malibu SS 396 and was almost never referred to by the Z16 RPO number except in a few non-public Chevrolet documents. But the Z16 was much more than just the big 396 in the Chevelle SS. It was a complete package with many special and heavy duty chassis components including: Heavy duty suspension, special heavy duty rear axle, 4 speed transmission, special frame, special heavy duty power brakes, and unique power steering components. The interior was very special too. A 160 mph speedometer was only available with the SS 396. Mandatory options included a tachometer, deluxe front and rear seat belts, AM/FM stereo radio, padded dash and remote mirror. The 396 engine specified for the Z16 was the L37 375 horsepower version. The L37 was a heavy duty engine with forged crank and pistons, 4 bolt main bearing caps, large port heads, an aluminum intake manifold with a Holley carburetor and an hydraulic camshaft. Other Chevrolets would also receive the 396. The full size Chevrolet got the 325 hp and 425 hp version, the Corvette benefited from the 425 hp 396. The Z16's L37 375 hp and the potent 425 hp engines differed only in their camshafts: the 425 hp version received a more radical, mechanical lifter design. The new Z16 was promoted heavily by Chevrolet. Many automotive magazines road tested or reviewed the special Malibu in the late Spring and Summer of 1965. These include Motor Trend, Car Life, Popular Hot Rodding and Mechanix Illustrated. Celebrities were used for the Z16 promotion including Dan Blocker ("Hoss") from the top-rated 1960's television series "Bonanza". Chevrolet was a major sponsor of the show and felt, apparently, that the muscular Z16 would be well touted in Dan's hands. Blocker received a car to drive and was reportedly asked to share it with some of the other "Bonanza" stars. This very Z16 is in a collector's hands today. Nott every dealer received a Z16 - since it was very limited in production - but they were spread out geographically around the country. New York, South Carolina, Florida, Illinois, Kansas, Texas and California dealers all had the 1965 Malibu SS 396. While rare, a few dealers actually got more than one Z16! Naturally, some of the Chevy dealerships that specialized or would specialize in high performance, new Chevrolets would receive cars. Well known dealerships that sold a Z16 include Yenko Chevrolet and Armon R. Smith.
Total Chevelle Malibu SS 396 production was 201 cars with one reportedly a convertible. It is not known to survive. About 65 Z16 coupes in restored or unrestored condition still exist making them one of the rarest and most desirable muscle cars.
A few racers were lucky to get them on factory sponsored teams. It isn't on the list because its so rare and was never an option and I doubt if one's in his truck or is the used engine he found
|mine are Hooker headers not sure about the size tho
Headers on bbc
thanks cdminter59 but i have 1 set of headers already that i got with the 402 in the '74

Headers on bbc
chevyboy97, If you want to try a set of headers check these from Summit Racing. In case you don't like them the price isn't that bad. $129.95 1974 CHEVROLET C10 PICKUP Summit Racing® Headers SUM-G9011 - SummitRacing.com. The Hooker headers are 1 7/8" tubing but are $469.95 1974 CHEVROLET C10 PICKUP Hooker Super Competition Headers 2826HKR - SummitRacing.com. Compare both sets of headers I believe I would buy the Summit Racing headers. Whatever set you buy I would get some VHT Ceramic paint silver or black. If you have a way to sand blast them before painting would work better. After painting heat the headers with a propane torch. Don't put the flame directly on them about 6" away. If some paint pops off spray it again while hot. I know Advance Auto and Oriley's carry the VHT Ceramic paint. Flat black SP102 and flat silver SP106. If you know somebody that has a oven to bake them in would be super.
|Ok Thanks
Headers on bbc
cheyboy97, I think that the light trucks had the 402 in them until 1972. In 1973 the light trucks were offered with 454 ci engines. These gen IV 454 engines have been in trucks until 1990. In 1991-1995 the Gen V 454 was used and in 1996 the Gen VI came out. Doesn't matter whether it was a Chevy or GMC.
|O ya...and it's a GMC...
|Found out today when i went to look at it that that pickup is a '78 not a '68...could that be possible??Did they put 454's in pickups that year??
|Ya the 402 i have came out of a 1971 and i think it was a car

Your Welcome!
In case you read by my edit!! the 396 was actually only put in 68 and 69 trucks, after 1969 they didn't make any more 396 big blocks, they were all 402s marketed as 400s in trucks and 396s in cars!
|painted jester
the 396 was actually only put in 68 and 69 trucks, after 1969 they didn't make any more 396 big blocks, they were all 402.
The 396-cubic-inch (6.5 L) V8 was introduced in the 1965 Corvette as the L78 option and in the Z16 Chevelle. It had a bore of 4.094 in (104.0 mm) and a stroke of 3.76 in (96 mm), and produced 375 hp (280 kW) and 415 lb·ft (563 N·m). This version of the 396 was equipped with four bolt main bearing caps and was very comfortable with being operated in the upper 6000 rpm range.
Introduced in 1970, the 402-cubic-inch (6.6 L) was a 396-cubic-inch bored out by 0.030 in (0.76 mm). Despite the fact that it was 6 cubic inches (98 cc) larger, Chevy continued marketing it under the popular "396" label in the smaller cars while at the same time labeling it "Turbo-Jet 400" in the full-size cars. The 402 label was used in Light Pickup Trucks.
The 366 Big block V-8 (6.0 L) gasoline engine was used only in Chevrolet Medium duty trucks and in school buses. It had a bore of 3.935" and a stroke of 3.760". This engine was made from the 1960s until the mid-1990s. The 366 used 4 compression rings on the pistons as it was designed from the very beginning as a truck engine. The 366 was only produced as a tall deck engine with a 0.400" taller deck than the 396, 402, & 454 short deck big blocks.
Mark IV engines saw extensive application in Chevrolet and GMC medium duty trucks, as well as in Blue Bird Corporation All American and TC/2000 transit buses (the latter up until 1995, using a purpose-built, carbureted 427). In addition to the 427, a 366-cubic inch (6.0 liter) version was produced for the commercial market. Both the 366 and 427 commercial versions were built with a raised deck, four bolt main bearing cap cylinder to accommodate an extra oil control ring on the pistons. Unfortunately, the raised deck design complicated the use of the block in racing applications, as standard intake manifolds required spacers for proper fit. Distributors with adjustable collars that allowed adjustments to the length of the distributor shaft also had to be used with 366 and 427 truck blocks.
Mark IV engines also found themselves widely used in power boats, a natural application for these robust power plants. Many of these engines were ordinary Chevrolet production models that were fitted with the necessary accessories and drive system to adapt them to marine propulsion. Mercury Marine, in particular, was a major user of the Mark IV in marine drives, and relabeled the engines with their corporate logo.
History 427
Chevrolet gave all 427 engines except the ZL1 a torque rating of 460 lb·ft (620
1966 1969 L36 4-barrel 10.25:1 390 hp (290 kW)
1966 1969 L72 4-barrel + solid-lifters, more aggressive cam and high flow cylinder heads 11.00:1 425 hp (317 kW)[7]
1967 1969 L68 L36 with 3x2-barrel carbs. 10.25:1 400 hp (300 kW)
1967 1969 L71 L72 with 3X2 barrel carbs. 11.00:1 435 hp (324 kW)
1967 1969 L89 L71 + aluminum heads; RPO L89 also applied to L78 "375 HP" 396 engine with aluminum head option. 11.00:1 435 hp (324 kW)
1967 1969 L88 Racing-spec cam, high-flow aluminum heads (casting #s varied by model year) and some upgraded, competition-grade parts 12.50:1[8] 430 hp (320 kW)[9]
1969 1969 ZL1 Aluminum block with open chamber "3946074" aluminum heads; cam even "hotter" than L88's; upgraded parts similar to L88's 12.00:1 430 hp (320 kW)
1970 1977(?) ZLX L88-ZL1 hybrid; iron block with aluminum heads 12.25:1 430(?) hp (321 kW)
The big-block was expanded again for 1970 to 454.2 cubic inches (7.4 L) with a 4.251 in (108.0 mm) bore and 4 in (100 mm) stroke. The 1970 Chevy Corvette LS5 version of this engine produced 390 hp (291 kW) and 500 lb·ft (680 N·m), and the LS6 engine was rated at 450 hp (340 kW). It has been suggested that the LS6 was substantially underrated and actually produced well over 500 horsepower (370 kW) as delivered from the factory, although there is no empirical evidence to support this claim. Indeed, the AHRA ASA Class record holding Chevelle LS6 for the 1970 season posted a best of season trap speed of 106.76 mph (171.81 km/h) "1970 ASA LS6 454 Records", which suggests something on the order of 350 "as installed" (SAE Net) HP for a 3,900 pounds (1,800 kg) car and driver combination. Indeed, SUPER CHEVY MAGAZINE conducted a chassis dyno test of a well-documented, well tuned but production-line stock 1970 LS6 Chevelle and recorded 283 peak HP at the wheels [5] - a figure that lines up quite well with the previously referenced 350 SAE Net HP figure.
A 465 hp (347 kW) and 490 lb·ft (660 N·m) version of the 454, dubbed LS7 was also designed but never went to production. However, a handful of LS7 intake manifolds were produced and sold by a few Chevy dealers as performance parts. The LS7 was later offered as a crate engine from GM and advertised at 500 Gross HP.
Power began falling off after 1970, with the 1971 LS5 producing 365 hp (272 kW) and 465 lb·ft (630 N·m), and the LS6 option coming in at 425 hp (317 kW) and 475 lb·ft (644 N·m). Only the LS5 remained in 1972, when SAE net power ratings and the move towards emission compliance resulted in to 270 hp (200 kW) and 390 lb·ft (530 N·m). The 1973 LS4 produced 275 hp (205 kW) and 390 lb·ft (530 N·m), with 5 hp (3.7 kW) and 10 lb·ft (14 N·m) gone the following year. Hardened valve seats helped allow these engines to last much longer than the earlier versions, even without the protection previously provided by lead from fuel. 1974 was the last year of the 454 in the Corvette though the Chevelle offered it in the first 1/2 of the 1975 model year. It was also available in the full size Impala/Caprice until model year 1976.
GM continued to use the 7.4 L (454 cu in) in their truck line, introducing a new Vortec 7400 version in 1996. GM also introduced the 7.4 L 454 EFI in 1987 (GEN IV 1965-1990, GEN V 1990-1995, and GEN VI in 1996); the GEN prefix was used since Ford Motor Company owns the Mark V naming rights since it was used on a Lincoln automobile between 1977–79), which was electronically fuel injected giving more power and torque. The 454 EFI version was rated from 230 hp (170 kW) to 255 hp (190 kW) and from 385 lb·ft (522 N·m) to 405 lb·ft (549 N·m) of torque. The 7.4 L 454 EFI was found on GM 2500 and 3500 trucks made in 1987, until replaced with the Vortec 7400 (GEN VI) in 1996.
1970–1976 Chevrolet Caprice
1970–1975 Chevrolet Chevelle

text: Which major competitions do you think were the most poorly judged? Two competitions come to mind for me: 2001 Worlds, and 2002 Olympics. The 2001 Worlds' pairs and ice dance competition results were blatantly incorrect, in my opinion. Berezhnaya/Sikharulidze and Anissina/Peizerat should have almost unanimously won in place of Sale/Pelletier and Fusar-Poli/Margaglio. Hughes placing over Butyrskaya also was not the best judging, but I didn't think it was that big of a difference. In the 2002 Olympics, the pairs' competition was a source of controversy. I thought both B/S and S/P were roughly equal that night, so it could have gone either way. But giving two sets of gold medals seriously discredited the sport and the scoring system, which I like a lot more than the current one. Maybe that has nothing to do with judging and could be irrelevant. The ice dance, in my opinion, had the biggest 'scandal'. There was no doubt in my mind that Drobiazko/Vanagas should have been at least 3rd, with Bourne/Kraatz 4th and Fusar-Poli/Margaglio 5th. The ladies' competition was also poorly judged, although a lot of people might disagree with me about who should have won. I would have had Slutskaya the overall winner, since she should have had the best short program and 2nd best freeskate. Hughes was also overmarked in the short.

Friday, August 31

Going into the NextGen Series, everyone in the dressing room was really excited about the competition - and what a start we made to win 3-0 against Marseille on Wednesday. It is two days later now, and having had time to think about the match we're all really happy at the performance and the result, but it is sinking in that it was just the first step of many that we want to take in the competition.
The day of the game was relatively quiet. We came in at 3.45pm for a pre-match meal, which was a simple chicken and pasta dish, then we had our team meeting. We went over our tactics and there were some inspirational words to help us before we jumped on the coach straight to the ground. Obviously I was disappointed not to be selected in the starting XI, but that is just the way it goes sometimes and you have to be ready to take your chance off the bench.
I wasn't really nervous before kick off. Since an early age, I have never really suffered from nerves or anxiety. I was more excited about starting the competition. I was thinking about the game and what I wanted to do if I came on, what positions I was likely to play and about previous good experiences. I find that helps me prepare.
Obviously the boys played really well, and we got off to the perfect start with the early goals from Nico Yennaris and Chuba Akpom. Nico put in the ultimate captain's performance, while Chuba did really well.
I have only played against Chuba in training - I wouldn't want to face him in a match - and he is definitely one of the best strikers I have faced. Sometimes he is simply unplayable. If he carries on progressing in the way he is, then the world is his oyster.
I got my chance in the 73rd minute and it is always nice to come on in a game like that. It is difficult in games when it is 1-0 and the opposition are pressing, but as we were 2-0 up at the time it was almost party football really. I was pleased to get my chance and it was great when Chuba scored his second to wrap things up.
It was a brilliant experience overall, the crowd was really, really good and the atmosphere when we scored was excellent. Just having the fans there, and looking over and seeing that they are all watching, gives you a real boost and adds to the occasion. It really helped us all, so I hope they will be there for every home game we have this season!
We feel that the result is almost like we have stamped our authority on things early on, and put down a marker to the other teams in the NextGen Series. The whole day really lived up to every expectation I had - there was a great crowd, we were playing against different opposition and we put in a really good performance.
Now I can't wait for the next game against Olympiacos on September 12. Let's hope we can deliver more of the same.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

WSU Law School Increases Scholarship Aid
Wayne State University Law School Dean Frank H. Wu announced a major increase in the Law School's scholarships, grants, and other forms of financial assistance June 22, following the announcement of the rise in tuition that was voted on by the WSU Board of Governors.
An additional $754,700 will be directed to student aid. This significantly augments the Law School's aid programs, which were at an already impressive $2.6 million per year. 89% of students who attend the Law School receive some form of financial assistance.
"I want to reassure both our new and returning students," Dean Wu said, "that the Law School is aware of the intensified financial pressure the rise in tuition will place on them, and to tell them we have developed a program to help alleviate the burden."
The tuition and fees for a first-year, full-time, in-state student (30 credits) at the Law School will be $17,557.40 for the 2005-06 academic year. The tuition increase will fund services that will directly benefit students, including the hiring of additional faculty and the upgrading of technology and support programs.
Students with questions about the tuition change should contact Assistant Dean Michele R. Miller at (313) 577-3997, the Law School Ombudsperson for financial aid.
Echoing WSU Provost Dr. Nancy S. Barrett, Dean Wu noted that there has not been a major tuition increase at the Law School for many years, and that years of reduced state support made the increase necessary. The Dean noted that the increase still makes the WSU Law School the most affordable in the state of Michigan.

text: The thread about Adult Nationals prompted me to post this one. Next year Feb 6th to 8th 2014 there will be an adult event in Melbourne, Australia open to international skaters. It ties in with an event in New Zealand which I think is the week before. Rules are based on Obersdorf and events include singles, pairs, dance (couples and solo) and Synchro. So if you fancy a trip to Australia next year and want to have a bit of a skate then please PM me and I can send you contact details.

Going to be up there Oct 17-24 the way I understand the regs for goose hunting in the state other than the Mo River area is: 3 Canadas 2 Specks a day. You can hunt geese all day on Sat,Wed but only to 1PM on Sun,Mon,Tue,Thur,Fri. Correct
Also it is like the Mississippi flyway on ducks for certain species if its not listed that means you can kill 6 of them. Like i could kill 6 gadwall or teal.
Just wanting to dot my I's and cross my T's here.
Its my first time out of the Miss Flyway so wanting to make sure I understand it all.
Also what is the deal with the geese regs?? Is it to just give them a break from hunting pressure or what???

The New England Revolution signed Portuguese center back Jose Goncalves on loan from Swiss club FC Sion Thursday, in an attempt to take a step in rectifying one of the club's need areas. The loan comes with an option to purchase, according to a Revolution press release. Follow GOAL.COM on Twitter
"We're pleased to add Jose to our squad," Revolution general manager Michael Burns said in a statement. "We've been open about our desire to add another defender this offseason. With experience throughout Europe's top leagues, we believe Jose will come in and be a positive addition to our club's defense."
Goncalves, 27, joins homegrown signing Scott Caldwell and international signings Andy Dorman and Khalifa Cisse as offseason additions for the Revs, who finished in ninth place in the 10-team MLS Eastern Conference in 2012 and conceded 44 goals in 34 matches.
Goncalves gives the club another necessary option in central defense, and while he has experience in Europe for club's such as Scotland's Heart of Midlothian and Germany's FC Nurnberg, he has had his playing time limited in recent seasons. The 6-foot-2 defender has appeared in just seven matches since the start of the 2011-12 season and has played just six minutes for Sion this season, doing so in an Oct. 7 match against Luzern.

I travelled and lived in Asia for 2.5 years (ive been home for 1 year now) and I'm set on living out there for a large amount, if not the rest of my life.
Ive been thinking of ways to sustain myself whilst living there and teaching seems like the best option. But I have nothing, no degree, no qualifications and no experience.
Now unlike some who just jump the gun and go out there and hope to get something I want to do it properly with the goal of progressing as a teacher into a well paid position.
I know that this requires me to have a degree and a teacher certificate (which i believe is roughly 4 years for a degree and 1 year to become a qualified teacher here in UK).
Ive been thinking of the idea of going to university and getting a degree and becoming qualified as a teacher however I was wondering if there were specific degrees that are needed for you to become a qualified teacher and therefore allowed to teach in Asia?
I would love to go to Uni and study something that I have a passion in, 2 courses which interest me a lot are - Photography and Media.
Could i become a qualified teacher in the UK, and therefore allowed to teach abroad if I had a degree in an Arts such as these subjects?
I was wondering if anyone else has ended up teaching in Asia with similar degrees?

President Ahmadinejad of Iran is firing back against a scandalous attempt by his opponent, Mir Hossein Mousavi to win the upcoming presidential election– the use of his wife to help campaign! Mousavi is campaigning with his wife beside him in a daring effort to turn the election in his favor. It is unheard of in Iranian elections for a wife to actively participate in the campagin. His wife, Zahra Rahnavard is a painter and former university chancellor who tells it like it is: "Why are there no women presidential candidates or cabinet ministers?" she asked the male group which controls the nation. "Getting rid of discrimination and demanding equal rights is the No. 1 priority for women in Iran." Her husband is denouncing Ahmadinejad's inept leadership which is best typified by his claim Ms. Rahnavard used bogus academic qualifications to become a university administrator.
Ms. Rahhavard wears a veil but believes women should have more freedom to wear veils of different colors. She also agrees with her husband in the need to end "morality patrols" which harass young women for not wearing the veil correctly or the nature of their dress. "UP the veil" may well be the new slogan in Iran.

To view the Taj Mahal far from the hawkers and crowds, I had hoped to approach it in a small boat on the Yamuna River, which flows in a wide arc along the rear of the majestic 17th-century tomb.
From This Story
Related Content
My guide, a journalist and environmental activist named Brij Khandelwal, was skeptical. The river was low, he said; there may not be enough water to float a boat. But he was game. So one morning, we met in downtown Agra, a city of more than 1.4 million people, near a decaying sandstone arch called the Delhi Gate, and headed for the river, dodging vegetable carts and motorized rickshaws, kids and stray dogs. Sometimes drivers obeyed the traffic signals; other times they zoomed through red lights. We crossed the Jawahar Bridge, which spans the Yamuna, and made our way into a greener area, then took a turn where men and women were selling repaired saris on the side of the road. Eventually we arrived at a spot opposite the Taj. There we hoped to find a fisherman to take us across.
Next to a shrine to Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar, a hero of India's lower castes, the road dips down toward the Yamuna. But only a dry, dusty riverbed was to be seen, cordoned off by a fence and metal gate. We knew the river did flow, however weakly, perhaps 50 yards away. But soldiers manning a nearby post told us it was forbidden to pass any farther. Indian authorities were concerned about Muslim terrorists opposed to the Indian government who had threatened to blow up the Taj—ironic, given that it's one of the world's finest examples of Islamic-inspired architecture. We stood before a rusty coil of barbed wire, listening to chanting from the nearby shrine, trying to make out the glory of the Taj Mahal through the haze.
The Indian press has been filled with reports that the latest government efforts to control pollution around the Taj are failing and that the gorgeous white marble is deteriorating—a possible casualty of India's booming population, rapid economic expansion and lax environmental regulations. Some local preservationists, echoing the concerns of R. Nath, an Indian historian who has written extensively about the Taj, warn that the edifice is in danger of sinking or even collapsing toward the river. They also complain that the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) has done slipshod repair work and call for fresh assessments of the structure's foundations.
The criticisms are a measure of how important the complex is to India and the world, as a symbol of historical and cultural glory, and as an architectural marvel. It was constructed of brick covered with marble and sandstone, with elaborate inlays of precious and semiprecious stones. The designers and builders, in their unerring sense of form and symmetry, infused the entire 42-acre complex of buildings, gates, walls and gardens with unearthly grace. "It combines the great rationality of its design with an appeal to the senses," says Ebba Koch, author of The Complete Taj Mahal, a careful study of the monument published in 2006. "It was created by fusing so many architectural traditions—Central Asian, Indian, Hindu and Islamic, Persian and European—it has universal appeal and can speak to the whole world."
Part of the Taj Mahal's beauty derives from the story the stones embody. Though a tomb for the dead, it is also a monument to love, built by the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan, fifth in a line of rulers who had originally come as conquerors from the Central Asian steppes. The Mughals were the dominant power on the Indian subcontinent for much of the 16th to 18th centuries, and the empire reached its cultural zenith under Shah Jahan. He constructed the Taj (which means "crown," and is also a form of the Persian word "chosen") as a final resting place for his favorite wife, Arjumand Banu, better known as Mumtaz Mahal (Chosen One of the Palace). A court poet recorded the emperor's despair at her death in 1631, at the age of 38, after giving birth to the couple's 14th child: "The color of youth flew away from his cheeks; The flower of his countenance ceased blooming." He wept so often "his tearful eyes sought help from spectacles." To honor his wife, Shah Jahan decided to build a tomb so magnificent that it would be remembered throughout the ages.
For more than 15 years, he directed the construction of a complex of buildings and gardens that was meant to mirror the Islamic vision of Paradise. First he selected the perfect spot: it had to be tranquil, away from the bustle of Agra, even then a thriving commercial center. "You had many flimsy detached little houses where the locals lived and where, occasionally, sparks would fly out of cooking fires and catch the thatch in the roofs and set whole neighborhoods aflame," says Diana Preston, author, with her husband, Michael, of Taj Mahal: Passion and Genius at the Heart of the Mughal Empire.
Near the river, where wealthy Mughals were building grand mansions, Shah Jahan acquired land from one of his vassals, the Raja of Amber. He could have simply seized it. But according to Islamic tradition, a woman who dies in childbirth is a martyr; her burial place is holy and must be acquired justly. Shah Jahan provided four properties in exchange.

The Recoleta neighborhood is the hub of the city's aristocracy, where old-money families live in pricey apartments along avenues with soaring French architecture. Men in ascots and tweed jackets sip espresso at shaded sidewalk cafés, and women with heavy fur coats walk tiny dogs.
Begin your stroll at the (1) Recoleta Cemetery (Junín 1790) and lose yourself among the gorgeous family mausoleums. Look for former first lady and Argentine icon Eva Perón's final resting place—admirers always leave flowers and other tributes—but be sure to wander the other corridors.
Next to the cemetery at Junin 1892 is the (2) Nuestra Señora del Pilar Basílica, which was built in 1732 by Jesuit architect Andrés Blanqui. Many of the original altarpieces, structures, and art are impeccably maintained. Next door is the (3) Recoleta Cultural Center (1930 Junín), featuring several interesting local and international art exhibits in its 27 exposition rooms. Beyond that, browse in (4) Buenos Aires Design mall at 2501 Avenida Pueyrredón, one of the city's fancier malls—known to locals as "shoppings"—where stores sell high-end leather furniture, appliances, and art.
During the week, the nearby (5) Plaza Francia is a quiet park were kids play on swing sets, but on weekends the plaza fills with dozens of artists peddling paintings, mate gourds, hand-knit clothing, and other products of varying quality. Snuggling couples and picnicking families recline on the grass and watch rock bands and puppet shows. Across Avenida del Libertador, you can visit the (6) Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes (1473 Libertador) for free. Just beyond the museum is the monument to (7) General Carlos María de Alvear.
Head back toward Avenida Quintana toward the Recoleta neighborhood. Just beyond the gnarled branches of an old gum tree, stop at the notable cafeteria (8) La Biela (corner of Avenidas Quintana and Roberto M. Ortiz) for a strong (and overpriced) coffee and top-notch people watching. The café is the historic anchor on this strip of restaurants and bars along Avenida Roberto M. Ortiz that serve moderate quality food, but have great patios for dining outdoors on a sunny day. At the end of Ortiz sits the city's best movie complex, Village Recoleta.
Amble down the Quintana into a neighborhood of treed sidewalks, French balconies, grand marble facades, and pricey brand-name stores. The (9) Un' Altra Volta ice cream shop at Quintana and Ayacucho serves decadent Buenos Aires–style ice cream. Turn left on Ayacucho and walk to Avenida Alvear, a street lined with beautiful apartment buildings and hotels. Among the gems: (10) Alvear Palace Hotel (corner of Alvear and Ayacucho), in a 1928 building, the (11) Ceasar Park Hotel (1232 Posadas), and the (12) Palacio Duhau Park Hyatt Buenos Aires (1661 Avenida Alvear)—all elegant spots to enjoy brunch, an English tea, or a glass of tinto, red wine. A quick detour down Ayacucho to the gorgeous Posadas street will bring you to (13) El Sanjuanino (1515 Posadas) where you can sample piping-hot empanadas and other traditional Argentine dishes or the (14) Confiteria La Rambla (corner of Ayacucho and Posadas), where harried waiters serve amazing lomito sandwiches. End at the (15) Palais de Glace (1725 Posadas), a former ice skating field turned museum and exhibit hall.

Thread: McGahee a Raven
Re: McGahee a Raven
I just wanted to throw in hear a couple of excerpts from Jeremy Green's blog on Espn.com
This first part is about Jamal vs. Willis (and a little about Pashos)
The team also waived long-time starting running back Jamal Lewis, who opted to sign a one-year deal with the division-rival Cleveland Browns. Nobody in Baltimore is going to fret having to face Lewis two times in 2007; he has been average at best since 2003. Lewis averaged 3.4 and 3.6 yards per carry, respectively, during the last two seasons behind an offensive line that was much better than the one the Browns will trot out this season. Lewis can't make defenders miss at this point in his career, so if the Browns don't open up holes for him, that yards-per-carry average will drop once again.
The Ravens reacted quickly to the loss of Lewis by trading for Buffalo RB Willis McGahee, a running back with a lot more versatility than Lewis. McGahee can run inside and outside, is a lot quicker to the hole and can make people miss. It's a huge upgrade for the Ravens, because Lewis was basically a three-yards-and-a-cloud-of-dust runner at this point. He was a sitting duck for tacklers, while McGahee is much more of a moving target.
Baltimore also lost right tackle Tony Pashos to the Jacksonville Jaguars. Pashos developed with the Ravens, and it always hurts to lose a guy you have brought a long and turned into a quality starter, but he is not an elite tackle and will be replaced through the draft or with a mid-level free agent like Anthony Clement, Marc Colombo or Jordan Black. While there could be some drop-off, it won't be significant.
The Ravens are like the college version of the USC Trojans when it comes to acquiring football players. Some guys might leave a little sooner than you would like, but you can count on them reloading. Watching Baltimore on draft day is like watching USC on national signing day: The overall number of acquisitions might be smaller, but don't be surprised if the Ravens hit on about 95 percent of them.
This team has the best personnel staff in the business, and because of that, you won't see me shedding any tears for the Ravens this offseason. They will reload in the draft and with mid-level free agents once the market settles. Make no mistake about it -- this is still the team to beat in the AFC North.
Re: McGahee a Raven
Somebody hand me a phillips cause I think we just got screwed. Yeah, yeah, I know, the 'Wizard of Oz' and all that crap, but what was Ozzie thinking?
A third AND another one next year? The Bills wanted Willis out and might have settled for a lot less. That's not the main reason I feel like Han Solo when he said, "I have a bad feeling about this." We have holes to fill in the draft and we just lost 1/3 of our first-day budget. We blew a wad on McNair and are about to enter the land of Deja vu.
One can only hope that Willis leaves his atitude in New York state, and picks up the yardage that Jamal left on the field the pas few years. I certainly hope I am wrong on this one.ENFORCE THE 1ST AMENDMENT WITH THE SECOND, NEVER DISARM
Re: McGahee a Raven
Welcome Willis!
Re: McGahee a Raven
Level headed and fair. Thanks for sharing.
The trade was great. In the one back sets we will be using with McGahee, we will miss Mughelli less and see more of our fine receiving corps. *And* we have in McGahee a rb more suited to our OL, as it gets younger and quicker.
Like with our acquisition of McNair last year, it looks like Ozzie had been planning it all along, and it feels like we are watching a magician at work.

Re: McGahee a Raven
Re: McGahee a Raven
I really like this trade and the potential of seeing our running game take flight. Too many times this season I saw holes open and close as Jamal danced in front of them. It was hard for many ravens fans to accept that he had lost the burst we saw during his 2000 yard season, but I have been hoping that the FO would decide to take our running game in a new direction from the day they finally cut Jamal. I was hoping that Ozzie would get this deal worked out with the Bills and Drew Rosenhaus so that we could add some explosiveness to our offense. I think this addition adds quite a bit to our total offense, having an explosive threat in the running game open s up the passing game for McNair even more and now that we have three definite threats at receiver I see lots more points and yards going up on the board for us next season. I hope that we can make a few adjustments to the line, especially at Center and right Guard. I am uncertain about Terry at RT, but was surprised at the success he had at LT while JO was out, so that gives me optimism at his potential at RT. I think our weak spots on the line remain Flynn and Vincent - let Brown, Chester have a shot at the position and hopefully a new draft selection can make an impact on the line as well at either guard or tackle if need be.

Re: McGahee a Raven
PFT is reporting that this deal is contingent on us signing Willis to a long term deal by March 13. So basically, based on this, this deal is not really official until this contract gets done and if it does not get done, the trade will not happen.
Can someone elaborate.It's a new season! It's a new day!
Re: McGahee a Raven
Welcome to Baltimore Willis. Get your contract done so you can make a nice long stay.
I'm a little skeptical about this, but the fact is we got a talented RB and filled a major need. For those of you thinking that Buffalo would take less, I'm sure they would have, if we were the only ones bidding. Factor in other teams like the Titans and the price goes up. To get him without spending a second was a very good deal. Obviously we'll have to see how big a hit we'll take on the contract side. Ozzie knows what he's doing and I expect good things.
As previously mentioned, the most exciting part is that we'll have a RB who works well out of a three-receiver set without needing a fullback to clear the way. McGahee, Mason, Clayton, Williams, and Heap are a pretty solid set of skill players to have on the field at once.

text: I liked that trailer scene too - all just feet from each other and trapped inside but still figured a way out - although Jessie surely paid for it!!The show before this last one (The Fly) was interesting just Walt and Jessie in the lab with Walt losing it more than normal - mostly over concern of Jessie's possible indiscresions with the product. The show after that one dragged a bit, which I can say is probably the FIRST episode I think was slow. But it is obviously leading up to a cliff hanger with Jessie and the Chicken Man - dang good show!

Ozarks students make music for fun, donate to charity
Release Date: 5/11/2011
"People rarely succeed unless they have fun in what they are doing." -- Dale Carnegie
An impromptu jam session a year ago has led to an ongoing musical project with fun at one end and charity at the other.
When Alex Chandler and friends stopped by Lauren Ray's dorm room and asked her if she played all the instruments she had there, they all ended up playing music together, and Alex and Lauren quickly found their songwriting and improvisational talents clicked.
"Alex is awesome at improvising," said Lauren, "One day I was writing this song on the guitar, and we started making it up as went, and suddenly we had a song. That's where 'Fish Stick' came from."
"And a couple nights later," Alex added, "'Stalker X' emerged." He added that video had had the most hits so far. "Way over 50!" he laughed.
Lauren has previously released a solo album, "Peas and Carrots," which she sells through her web site. All proceeds from sales go to the Surfrider Foundation, a non-profit group that promotes environmentally friendly behavior and keeping the nation's beaches clean.
Alex said their new song, "It's All a Game," was inspired by an idea from Lauren. "We played our song 'Waste Away' live on the radio during the last Study Night Breakfast," he said. "We played it twice. We were stoked to get another song together, so we started it immediately and finished it over Christmas break. It's a rap"
"Yes, we were texting each other over the break, urging each other to finish their parts so I could put it all together," said Lauren. "As soon as we got back we recorded it!"
Alex described himself primarily as a vocalist, and Lauren plays the ukulele, bongos, regular percussion, the guitar, the steel drum, and the piano.
"We've had a couple different friends help here and there, but mostly it's just the two of us," Alex said.
So far the duet's videos have all been live and acoustic, but they said with the upcoming warmer weather they plan to shoot a "real video" using locales around town and on campus.
Will the proceeds from the new album go to the Surfrider Foundation? Lauren said maybe not. "I kind of wanted to do different ones so that more people are interested, Although I am passionate about Surfrider's work, I also want people to feel they're actually making a difference, so I may pick a different charity for this one."
Like Lauren's previous album, the new project will be available at laurenray.bandcamp.com. "Every time we do an update it'll be on that site," Lauren said, "and people can go to that site and buy directly from there."
Like Alex, Lauren makes the point they are making music for charity but also for fun. "I mean I know we're not 'real' musicians, off in fairyland," she said. "Our heroes are people like Bo Burnham or those guys who do 'The ShamWow Song.' This is for fun."
Alex added, "We are putting out this album, and then since I graduate in December, hopefully before then we'll have a third album done before I graduate."
"One per semester, that's our goal," Lauren said.

Very nice collection you have there sir :smt023
Very nice. I love the two-tone HK and Walthers.
Nice collection! I was actually just about to post a thread about this, but I guess here will be fine, especially since I was mostly looking to hear from you Shipwreck...
My question is about those hard chromed slides. How do you go about having that done? I know some of them are made that way, but what about the one's that aren't? Send them away I'm assuming? Is it very expensive? My Walther P22 is what I have in mind.
Yes - I sent them off to a place that hard chromes them - They were $100 in 2005 to do - It's about $120 or so now.
However - U cannot do that to a P22 slide. The slide is made of Zinc, not steel. Sorry. You could duracoat the slides for the same look - but it wouldn't be as scratch resistant as hard chrome.
Since the P22 is just a 22 - they can get away without using steel.
That makes sense. Thanks, you just saved me about $120. Again, great looking group you have there.

Math class needs a makeover
Today's math curriculum is teaching students to expect — and excel at — paint-by-numbers classwork, robbing kids of a skill more important than solving problems: formulating them. Dan Meyer shows classroom-tested math exercises that prompt students to stop and think.

Ozarks graduate headed for Columbia to study Spanish
Release Date: 5/25/2012
Columbia, Missouri, that is. Shayla Morrow, who graduated this spring from U of O, has been accepted into the graduate program at the University of Missouri at Columbia for the fall to begin studying for her Master's degree in Spanish literature.
Shayla Morrow, who graduated this spring from Ozarks, will be studying at the University of Missouri at Columbia, working on her Master's degree in Spanish literature.
"While I am extremely excited to study Spanish literature, I'm also happy to announce I'm receiving a tuition waiver and stipend from the University of Missouri as a graduate instructor of the Elementary Spanish course," Morrow said. "My three majors - English, Spanish, and Secondary Education - have each offered a form of preparation for this next step in my life, and I am really grateful for the guidance, motivation, and dedication of all my teachers here at Ozarks. They have challenged me to always seek to reach my full potential. So here I go!"
Morrow's interest in foreign languages began in high school. "My grandma took me on a trip to Germany, Italy, and Switzerland," she said. "It was my first time on a plane. Then when I was a sophomore here I went to Mexico for the 'Monarchs in Mexico' class - it's an interdisciplinary course that combines the Spanish language, Mexican history and culture, entomology, and ecology of Mexico. We were in Morelia in Michoacán in central Mexico, down past Mexico City. It really changed my life. And then I studied abroad in Mexico this past semester. So that's been my traveling out of the country, and my direct exposure to other languages and cultures. It was a year ago on Sunday since I was in Mexico and I miss it terribly!"
Morrow grew up in nearby Hartman, population 596, and said a city the size of Columbia was a little intimidating. "It's a big campus," she said. "Really huge. I've gotten used to Ozarks, where everything is close together and everyone is so helpful. Not that they aren't helpful there, but there are so many more people! It's been a job just finding my way around and figuring out what I'm supposed to be doing! I'm planning to live off campus there. They do off-campus housing there the way we do our dorms here, and they even match roommates by interests. Anyway, it's all going to be a big adjustment!"
At U of O, Morrow was president of the Ozarks Student Education Association, as well as a member of the Campus Activities Board and the Student Foundation Board, and a Resident Assistant. "Trying to work part-time off campus and attending classes as a full time student can be quite a challenge," she said. "However, I was able to find several work-study jobs on campus that allowed me to work, tutor, or mentor between classes. I've learned how to manage my time and balance a busy schedule, which easily transitions into the grad school setting because it's going to be equally demanding of your time. Also, I've had the wonderful opportunity to make connections with students, faculty, and staff across all departments on campus, people I wouldn't have met if I didn't have these on-campus jobs. Since I'll be moving farther away from my home to graduate school, I've learned how a support system of friends can be found across campus, not just in your own department."
Morrow said she is extremely grateful to her professors at U of O for the challenges they presented her with, but also "how my professors have taught me to think. In graduate school, I know I will be prepared because I have been taught how to think about the big ideas that exist in this society. Now, it's up to me to act upon them and make a difference."
In essence, Morrow said, she feels like she's collaborated with her classmates and professors to reach the same purpose - getting a quality education. "The small class population at Ozarks encourages student engagement in classroom discussions," she said, "which is a major factor in becoming an expert in your field. I feel more than confident I will be ready for the challenges of grad school."

After away wins over Tottenham and Newcastle, it's another Premier League team for Arsène Wenger's side at the Quarter-Final stage of the Carling Cup
Despite the easy on the eye football Wigan play under Roberto Martinez, the Latics currently find themselves in the relegation zone after defeat against West Ham on Saturday.
But how dangerous are they in a cup tie with nothing to lose? We spoke to Paul Kendrick of the Wigan Observer to get a Wigan perspective on tonight's game.
In the first two games of the season against Blackpool and Chelsea they conceded ten goals without scoring a goal. It was the worst start imaginable but things have picked up quite well since then. There was a win at Tottenham and although results haven't suggested they have turned the corner, their performances have. They were pretty poor against West Ham on Saturday but before that they played well against Manchester United, well against Manchester City and deserved to beat Liverpool.
Roberto Martinez has got great support from the fans. He was a legend here during his time as a player just over a decade ago. That has given him a slightly longer honeymoon period than an ordinary manager would have got. Another thing in his favour is that he is very close to chairman Dave Whelan who actually signed him for the club in 1995. Whelan has stated that even if Wigan go down Martinez's job wouldn't be under threat. So the fans and the chairman are right behind him.
He doesn't know any other way [than to play attractive football]. He's not the kind of manager who will go route one just to get results. He's always stressing the importance of performances over results and if you look after your performances the results will look after themselves. He will be looking forward to the opportunity of going up against a fellow advocate of good football. There is no danger that Martinez will resort to anything else other than his usual brand of attacking football.
Their confidence will have taken a dent [after the 3-1 defeat against West Ham]. Wigan didn't compete to be honest, they were OK for the first 20 minutes but after that West Ham increased in confidence and Wigan couldn't match it. It's very worrying that a poor team like West Ham can be allowed to score three goals so easily. I can't imagine the squad is in very high spirits coming into the game tomorrow. But it's a different competition and it's a good way to take their mind off the fact that they are in the relegation zone. They have got previous for getting through Carling Cup games at Arsenal so I think they will take it as a welcome distraction.
Unfortunately, Hugo Rodallega is suspended after getting sent off last week against Manchester United. So I imagine most of the attacking impetus is on Charles N'Zogbia. He is responsible for the chunk of Wigan's creativity this season and when he's on song Wigan are generally on song. I would expect most of the danger to come from him.
The Stoke game [this weekend] is certainly a more important game [for Wigan]. If you were to offer Martinez a win against Arsenal or three points against Stoke he would have the three points. He's picked a relatively strong team for each round of the competition. The fringe players he has brought in, the likes of Victor Moses and Ben Watson, have really excelled. I think we will see four or five changes but the players coming in are regognised players at this level, he doesn't field kids who haven't played before. He will think that the team he puts out will be good enough to do a job.

I am relatively new to this forum, so I wanted say hi, and ask a question. I have used the search utility, and have had a lot of success.
However, I couldn't find an answer to this question. I am considering painting a ESB style Boba helmet, and was wondering what you guys (and gals) had to say? Is this a really bad idea? I was thinking of spraying on games Workshop black primer, and a basecoat of Testors chrome. I may spray some larger sections, but would primarily do the rest by hand. Just wondering what the general concensus is on this, as I couldn't find much on this using the search.
Also, are Games Workshop paints generally acceptable? I have a friend who works there and can get them for about $1 a bottle for me. Also the helmet I will be painting is a DP '96.
Thanks a lot in advance,

hi everyone i'm new to making mandolorian armor. have a few questions....what is the best material to use? and any tips would be awesome.
sintra (foamed PVC known in australia) (Sintra -- the basics) seems to be the go, also the creative lads on here are also going the bucket/bin armour as well. Some of the lads on here have placed templates for armour that you can print then mark out on whatever you choose to use then cutout. couple of tools to help u are dremel (but a sharp serrated utility knife held over a flame will help u cut out your armour, being very carefull) also a cheap heat gun got mine for $38 dollars Aus from hardware will help you out to conform the armour, shoulder pads ect (i didnt have one when i rushed my bucket armour through). check out craft shops, hardware's or one of the guys posted a place u could have it shipped to you on here. check the advance search link.

Hey Injun, (Yartz, right?) PM me on facebook and we'll get you straight. You should have came to our armor party this weekend. But whenever your free let me know and we'll get you fixed up
im new to armor making too and i was wondering if sintra is used to make the helmets too?
I suppose you could, esp if you used a batting helmet or something for the dome. I would rather suggest using "for sale" signs, then fiberglass the inside. If your small enough, you should buy a Jango 2 piece. If bigger, make the helmet the one thing you spend money on and get an M-DSB.

Welcome to the forum.
Do realize that the smaller the gun (in 9mm), the more recoil and the harder it is to shoot.
Maybe look at the Kahr PM8 0 but I actually sold it because it wasn't that enjoyable to shoot. I picked up an M&P Shield in 9mm. But, that's probably too big for you as well.
Maybe look at some of the new micro 380s.

Hi Lucy,
I hope you're well, and looking forward to Christmas.
I was hoping you could help. I have just completed my CELTA, just in the process of applying for suitable work.
I have been fortunate enough to be offered an interview. I am just completely stuck and lost for ideas. As you can see, they've asked for quite a few things to be covered in a one hour lesson. Please could you help?
They've also asked for a Scheme of Work. I've never done one! Again, any help would be greatly appreciated.
Below the interview criteria:
Interview Preparation
Micro Teach:
Candidates are asked to plan a 1 hour lesson for a group of Pre-Entry, post-16 learners. These learners are studying a 1 year Cambridge Speaking and Listening stand-alone qualification, but they also have strong literacy needs so that they may progress next academic year. The topic for the lesson is Jobs, Courses, Education and Training. Candidates must provide a lesson plan for the full hour, but deliver for 10-15 minutes.
This will consist of a presentation of a scheme of work that the candidate has previously developed. The candidate will be asked to talk through the scheme of work for 10 minutes, giving a rationale as to their development and planning process. Following this, we will commence questioning.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Kindest regards,

Europe has an ancient heritage of Christianity being involved in government so it is not surprising that many nations still use religious centered oaths in order to swear in officials. Archbishop leronymos, head of the Church of Greece made an unusual suggestion by arguing that the taking of religious oaths by politicians should be abolished. There was some negative reaction to his suggestion, but it is still unclear whether he meant all oaths taken by government officials or some oaths. Several bishops while supporting the idea of abolishing oaths in assuming a position in government also noted if a person can not swear on the Bible to uphold the Constitution, then that individual is not someone to be trusted.
In days gone by, most Europeans were Christians, but these days, Europe includes peoples of very diverse backgrounds and religions. It is time to end the use of a religious oath and allow those who do not feel comfortable taking such a position due to their own religion, the right to just take office and promise to obey the Constitution.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued a warning against eating Uncle Ben's rice products that are served at schools, restaurants, hospitals or other food institutions. Children in three states have had skin reactions and other symptoms that are linked to the rice.
Mars Foodservices is recalling their 5 and 50 pound bags of Uncle Ben's rice that are typically sold to food service establishments, but are also available to consumers over the Internet.
Uncle Ben's rice that is sold in grocery stores is not a part of the recall. This includes products that are sold as boxed, bagged or in a cup.
An excess of niacin, also known as vitamin B3, may be the reason for the recall. The FDA said that overexposure to niacin can cause skin reactions, and very large doses can cause indigestion and nausea.
Thirty-four students and four teachers in Katy, Texas, experienced burning, itching rashes, headaches and nausea for 30 to 90 minutes after eating the rice. The symptoms eventually went away.
The FDA said it has not confirmed that the Texas incident was caused by niacin, but the symptoms are similar. Another incident was reported in North Dakota in October, when three children in day care and one college student became sick after eating an Uncle Ben's rice product. The rice has also been linked to similar reactions in 25 Illinois school children in December.
While Mars Foodservice has been working with the FDA and its buyers to get the rice out of lunch lines, agency officials said they are concerned that some consumers may be able to get the rice on the Internet or at warehouse-type retailers. As of Monday, several of the recalled products were still available on Amazon.com.
