|Topic Review (Newest First)
This is a pretty interesting thread since last year I was shopping for our first boat ever, and after looking at 40 or so boats we ended up focusing on CS36Ts, Merlins, C&C 35-3's and 38-3's. There were some very well maintained and well-equipped Ts, which would have been my overall choice, but my wife hated the cabin and vetoed the type (sorry, Maine). She liked the Merlins best, but on an apples-to-apples-basis they were 20k more than Ts (in our local market).
So we bought a C&C 38-3 :-) I admit I went nuts scrutinizing the boat, and we had a reputable surveyor go over her thoroughly. Metered dry, percussion tests said dry.
I'm a beginner sailor, so I don't really understand what I've bought, yet. Give me a couple years. I admit I liked, with no good reason for it, that the 38-3 has a proportionately bigger main and smaller foresail that most of the masthead rig boats I was considering.
Good luck on your offer. Looking forward to hearing how it goes. I probably can't show this thread to my wife. Don't want her to spend much time thinking about the sleek Merlin interior she's not going to experience.
|good luck
|So I made an offer on the CS. Fingers crossed.
Again; moisture meters need to be used in a very specific way to determine hull moisture below the waterline. I'm quoting a marine survey website (Marine Survey FAQ Dixieland Marine )please review.

What type of moisture meter were you using Maine Sail?

And some of that build quality translates through the years to longeveity of the boat, but when buying a 20-30 year old boat it all depends on how the boat was taken care of. The CS I looked at certainly did not look like yours under the sole. It was a wreck. As many have posted on here before you need to get a good surveyor...and a thorough survey.

We are currently undergoing the same analysis as we are looking for our final boat as retirement is comming in 5 years and we want to cruise to the Bahamas regularly. Speed is no longer the driving force it was 15 years ago, but I dont want a total barge either. We have narrowed our short list down to late 80s early 90s 45.5 Baltic, 44 Hylas, Tayana 42 and 43 Hans Christian Christina. We have looked at some already, but are looking for one which is in as good a condition as the C&C we bought 15 years ago.
That is really the deternmining factor, once you narrow it down to 3 or 4 designs.

Ha Maine...I was wondering how long it would take for you to weigh in with your perfect boat.
I am humbled by your anaylsis and years of experience. I have only have 30 years of sailing. Having sailed with others on their boats across the Atlantic a few times when younger and some cruising like the 1500 and races to Bermuda and Newport over the years, I realize my qualifications to judge boats may not quite be up to yours or Boatpokers. I have only owned 3 boats, A 27 Tartan....28 Islander.... and my current boat of over 15 years our C&C 35 MKIII. Forgive me for voicing obviously biased opinion. Your finidings about the CS were spot on.
I must have gotten the only good dry C&C made. Funny I moisture tested 4 other C&C;s before I bought this one and none of them had moisture problems at all. And Boatpoker you are dead wrong...not all have basla cored hulls.
I wanted a small racer/ cruiser which was not slow...and was well made. The other boats I had narrrowed it down to before I bought my current vessel..a 36 CS....a 34 Sabre....and a 37 Tartan all had issues. The worst of which was the CS, which you aptly described as having so many small attentions to detail, the PO had destroyed it by putting enough homemade Rube Goldberg contraptions on it that it looked like a Mr Magoo Christmas tree. It really goes to the main(e) point that I was making that it all depends on the vessel you are looking at. Sure you can quibble about boats when they are new about the difference in build quality between an A and a B+ which all four of these boats IMHO were. And some of that build quality translates through the years to longeveity of the boat, but when buying a 20-30 year old boat it all depends on how the boat was taken care of. The CS I looked at certainly did not look like yours under the sole. It was a wreck. As many have posted on here before you need to get a good surveyor...and a thorough survey. I narrowed our choice 15 years ago to these four boats and bought the one in the best condition I could find. I was partial and narrowed it to these four boats as the designers as well as builders had good reputations and built quality boats which fit the needs I had. No boat is perfect..and 15 years ago a turn of speed was important as I was heavily into racing, and the C&C 35 MKIII was very competitive (and still is) yet comfortable for a 3 week coastal trip. Our boat has traveled to New England 15 times from the Chesapeake as well as been to Bermuda and Florida. She has stood up well to the test of time...and really we have constantly improved her with upgrades and new systems as older ones got outdated or wore out. All these should be considered in additon when buying an older used boat, but only after the basic integrity of the boats hull...and engine. Whomever gets our boat when we sell her will get a well maintained upgraded boat. (BTW its hard to think about parting with her,,even though we will go larger she has been part of the family for so long)

Again I DO challenge you statement that the CS is the best Canadian Boat. I beleive they are equal with the C&C being a faster boat in general. Facts seem to prove that.
What facts prove that? The CS's are very, very well put together. As one who initially wanted a C&C, and looked at lots of them from Maine to Florida, and who has surveyed, worked on and raced on many I can assure you that they are great boats but not built to the level of a CS, as Boatpoker has pointed out.
I pulled my meter and very closely examined four C&C's in my search and every one of them had hull core moisture, two of them so severe I wondered how they were even still standing on the keel. I did find one that was dry but the rest of the boat was a basket case. After the fifth one I gave up and began widening my search to other high quality builders.
My sail maker just spent over 40k on his C&C to have the entire bottom re-built. Was in the shop from October until just about three weeks ago. The entire bottom, 100% of it, was re-cored a process that is very, very time consuming as you need to do small sections at a time. Core damage can and does happen, with no core, this can not happen..
The Merlin only has core above the waterline and a vacuum bagged deck construction. These boats were also bedded with butyl tape a process far more time consuming and labor intensive than marine sealants other builders used. This stuff never hardens and has kept many a CS bone dry beyond the 30 year mark. My own CS has over 80% of her deck hardware un-rebeded. I pulled the chain plates this winter to inspect, test and replace or re-install. They are all going back in, as they were still bone dry at 31 years of age, with zero leaks. Part of this success is the sealant choice and the other part is the way CS attached, built & designed their chain plates. There are few builders, at any cost, who attached chain plates the way CS did. This design came directly from Ray Wall who was CS's first designer and the ex chief designer for Camper Nicholson. Camper Nicholson was one of Europes highest quality builders.
The stringers in our boat are glassed to the hull, massive, and are solid fiberglass U-shaped beams with no core to rot. Engine beds are also solid glass with no core to rot out.
The chain plate knees of the CS-36 are made of solid fiberglass, are massive, and are integral to the hull not the bulkheads. The inward flange for the hull to deck joint also covers these knees and creates a solid fiberglass deck at the chain plate penetrations with no core to rot, if a leak developed.. This inward flange covers the entire chain plate knee so no water can get in from the top. This means that in the areas of the knees the inward hull flange is some 12 - 13" deep. The chain plates are not attached to free floating screwed in place bulkheads or even tabbed bulkhead which can rot if exposed to a leak. Inside these knees is a massive ss backing block laminated into place. Every bolt came out with zero issues 31 years after being put in place due to the well thought out sealed design.
The bulkheads are also tabbed directly to the hull and then a 1/4" teak veneer facing is laid over the actual bulkheads. This type of detail yields a very strong boat and also a boat not prone to chain plate leaks and the resulting bulkhead rot. I have never once heard of a CS that needed to have the bulkheads replaced due to rot but there most certainly is one out there somewhere.
Stringers on our boat are also solid fiberglass U shaped beams glassed & tabbed in place. Morris Yachts does the same but at a HUGE cost. The hull also has longitudinal foam cored stringers and an engine bed that also has no wood core in it and no "lag" bolts holding the motor in place,. A hull liner was then added but because of the construction this was not for structural rigidity.
The ice box was factory insulated with poured in closed cell foam giving nearly 4" or more if ice box insulation. 35 minutes a day of running our Sea Frost system keeps the ice box below 40 degrees for roughly 24 hours..
Also, take note of the keel bolt backing plates. The keel bolts are of very high quality and show no signs of any corrosion or rust even at 31 years old. CS used 316 SS and massive backing plates when other builders used standard washers and a lesser grade of bolt.
The picture below is just as I found the knees after being covered for nearly 31 years by teak cabinetry. I was the first to remove these cabinets for the re-wire I am undertaking. There is no sign of leaking, even at 31 years old.
Here's a photo of the underside of the starboard deck. The bolts directly over head are for the genny track. These bolts pass through solid fiberglass with no core and in 31 years have apparently never leaked. They also show no signs of it. You can hardly find a three year old boat with no signs of deck leakage let alone a 30+ year old model. The track is still bedded, as is the hull to deck joint, with factory butyl tape. In the background you can see the hull to deck joint with through bolts 4" on center that is also bone dry along it's entire length.
If you look to the third bolt down from the top of the pic you will see a line in the udeside of the deck radiating outwards towards the deck flange. This is another hidden gem of a detail CS used. It is a core break. This break prevents large areas of a deck fro getting wet as it creates an internal solid fiberglass dam keeping sections of core isolated..
Little details such as the thickness of the veneer on the cabin sole are big issues when it comes time to re-finish. My buddy with an Ericson simply had to replace his entire cabin sole, at a HUGE expense, because there was no room for refinishing with the paper thin veneer they used my Catalina 36 was the same way. CS used a full 1/8" think teak & holly veneer. This can be stripped and refinished multiple times before wearing through. I still have lots of meat left after refinishing in 2008..
There is no perfect boat and all boats are a series of compromises but I do tend to agree with Boatpoker on the CS. Ours has many, many hard ocean miles on her as she was liveaboard cruised for five years from Newfoundland to South America thought the canal and up to Alaska and back. The deck has virtually no crazing and she shows no visible signs of wear and tear, all tabbing is 100% intact and just as it left the factory.
Having built boats, worked part time with a marine surveyor and worked in multiple boat yards I have learned to look at the tiny details that most miss or don't know what to look for. When I first really looked, in detail, at a CS, had not seen many as there were no dealers close to Maine, I was amazed at the high level of construction and the well thought out attention to design, much of it hidden away for no one to admire but the designer and builder. No boat is perfect and the CS's do have some draw backs, namely the use of solid conductor 110v wiring but I am unsure when they stopped doing this or if they ever did.
All that being said the C&C is a great high quality boat, as is the Merlin, so I would base any assessment on current condition & maintenance. My preference, after seeing so many wet core re-builds, over many years, is that I now stay away from them if it extends below the waterline, but I do know of many cored hull boats that are dry..
P.S. I installed some seacocks and a transducer on a C&C 35 MKII and she had a solid glass hull..

Rod rigging can be tricky to inspect and can fail without much warning, unlike wire rigging.
Both should be pretty good boats and fairly comparable in many ways. The C&C is going to be a bit faster, as it is a larger boat with a greater SA/D IIRC. It will also have a bit more room. I like the C&C 38 Mk III a lot as monohulls go...
How are the two boats equipped? How are the prices??

Thanks for the kind words, I'm glad you liked my script. I will posting later today my slide deck from my part of thepresentation with HD and JR on Meterpreter where I covered Meterpreter Scripting I think you will like it.
Recently i try soundrecorder.rb script by Carlos Perez and it is really cool thing.
After remote keysniffer really nice thing.
My lab: on one computer Backtrack4 prefinal usb and another Windows xp sp3.
I run exploit windows/browser/winamp_playlist_unc old exploit for winamp 5.12 but i like it to launch this exploit and payload windows/meterpreter/reverse_tcp.
After sessions become active i first migrate fast to explorer.exe process.
Then run soundrecorder.rb script and talk on mic on victim computer and attacker computer recorded everything. Really nice also nice is that after time of recording is over script automatically delete uploaded files linco.exe and oggenc.exe.
Can someone else say something about this nice script and experience with it?
Thanks for the kind words, I'm glad you liked my script. I will posting later today my slide deck from my part of thepresentation with HD and JR on Meterpreter where I covered Meterpreter Scripting I think you will like it.
For sure always like to learn from metasploit and ruby ninjas like you.
My friends (they are ordinary windows users) ask me come on show us something but really cool form all this stuff you know when you get into computer and i decide to show trick with uictl and your soundrecorder script and after my friend talk on mic and later i play this on attacker machine they go all crazy and say this is really cool cool thing and one friend say in joke now my girlfriend can hear my hot mic sessions on skype with other girls.
They talk about this even days ago.
P.s. showing ordinary windows users some portforwading or something like that is not what they want to see because they dont understand this.
i was working on a script for evasdropping on all media devices, this script would upload vlcplayer witch has a command line interface thus allowing meterpreter shell to access this remotely... it was going smoothly until i seen that hdmoore updated the framework with a similar built in functions for meterpreter...
vlcplayer has so many options a attacker could use for fun and entertainment...
Nice why dont you post link where we can download this script.
P.s. - your video with cracking wep and metasploit shows what hacker with tools on backtrack can do in 15 minutes. Really nice video.
Can you explain how to eavesdrop all media devices with meterpreter. Currently there is on that kind of script in meterpreter (except for sounrecorder.rb) maybe I can develop a new one if you guide me with metasploit functions.

Hello everyone,
My name is Jon,
To put this as succinctly as possible, my question is, I suppose, quite simple.
I do not have a degree. I was hoping to gain my CELTA qualification, and use it to teach abroad (anywhere really) and fund the commpletetion of an OU degree. This would cost approximately £2700 a year.
So my question really is, do you think I could fund this course with work I could get without a degree. And also, do you think I would have enough spare time to study part time also.
There are further details, as to why I want to teach English and why I think I would be able and why I would enjoy it. Also my degree situation is a little more complex but I don't wish to bore you with the details.
I hope someone can pass some useful advice on to me.
Thank you for taking the time to read this post.

I recently order a subgun and the selling dealer threw in a two stage suppressor similar to the mac suppressor. My suppressor has steel wool and wipes at the end. Some time ago I saw a post somewhere (my mind fails me) about some individual that constructed his own suppressor or rebuilt his own suppressor. He was very detailed and now I can't find his post. Can anyone point me in the direction?
Many thanks,

Cumbess, Nunley Pitch UK to Wins over Cal Poly, San Diego St.
UK-Cal Poly Box Score | UK-Cal Poly Final Box (PDF)
UK-SDSU Box Score | UK-SDSU Box (PDF)
SAN DIEGO - University of Kentucky junior pitcher Lauren Cumbess and freshman hurler Kelsey Nunley continued their strong starts to the 2013 season, throwing complete game wins to defeat Cal Poly and San Diego State University in No. 22/24 Kentucky's first day of play in the 23rd Campbell/Cartier Classic in San Diego, Calif., on Thursday.
Cumbess set the table for the two-win day for Kentucky (6-2), going seven strong innings against Cal Poly. The native of Normal, Ill., got a do-it-all effort from Cumbess, who went the distance in game one, allowing no runs on four hits with seven strikeouts. At the plate, Cumbess scored the only run of the game in the win, blasting her first homer of the season well over the wall in left field. It was Cumbess' seventh homer of her career.
Cumbess is now 2-1 on the season with a 1.67 ERA, throwing 21.0 innings, allowing five runs while striking out 16. Offensively, Cumbess is hitting .385 (10-for-26) with two doubles, a homer and six RBI.
Nunley was equally as impressive in the circle in UK's second game, throwing her third complete game of the season to earn her fourth win. The native of Soddy Daisy, Tenn., silenced San Diego State's bats in the win, throwing seven scoreless innings, allowing only three hits, while striking out seven and only walking two.
For the season, Nunley is 4-0 with a 2.01 ERA, throwing 24.1 innings with seven runs allowed and 26 strikeouts. Nunley has gone the distance in all three of her starts, allowing only two earned runs with 24 strikeouts. In all, Cumbess and Nunley threw 14 innings combined Friday, allowing no runs and only seven hits with 14 strikeouts and only three walks.
Offensively, sophomore catcher Griffin Joiner and freshman infielder Christian Stokes led UK. Both stars went 2-for-4 on the day with Joiner hitting a double and scoring a run, while Stokes posted two RBI. Cumbess and senior Alice O'Brien each launched doubles on the day with O'Brien collecting two RBI. .
The Wildcats scored a run in each of the first two innings against San Diego State. Joiner started the rally for UK in the first innings, ripping a double down the right-field line. The sophomore then came home to score when O'Brien doubled to left field, giving UK a 1-0 lead.
UK got its second run in the second inning after junior Emily Gaines started things off with a single, getting pinch-ran for by freshman Darington Richardson. After Krystal Smith laid down a perfect sacrifice bunt to advance Richardson to second, Stokes would earn a two-out single to score Richardson and give UK the 2-0 advantage.
Junior outfielder Kara Howard may have saved the game for Kentucky in the bottom of the sixth inning. The defensive star came on as a defensive replacement to start the inning and with runners on first and second and one out, Lorena Bauer ripped a line drive to left field, backing Howard to the warning track where she would make an impressive running catch for the second out. Nunley then get a pop up to end the inning.
Kentucky put an exclamation point on the win with two runs in the top of the seventh inning. One run scored on a single by Stokes - her second RBI of the game - while UK's fourth run came on a RBI single by O'Brien.
Before Cumbess' homer against Cal Poly in the fourth inning, UK outfielder Sylver Samuel provided UK with one of the best defensive plays of the season in the fourth inning. After an error to start the inning and a sacrifice bunt moved the runner to second with two outs, Cal Poly's Breana West hit a single to center field that Samuel fielded and threw home to Joiner, who blocked the plate and applied a great tag to keep the game scoreless.
Cumbess worked out of trouble in the seventh inning to get the win, her second of the season. After hitting the leadoff batter, Cumbess got the next batter to ground into a fielder's choice, leaving a runner at first with one out. Cumbess then gave up a single to put runners on first and second, but fielded her position well on the next play, throwing to third to get the lead runner and give UK two outs. Cumbess then got a strikeout to end the game and preserve the UK win.
The Wildcats will continue play in the event with one game Friday, squaring off against No. 16/18 Washington (4-2) at 2:15 p.m. ET. UK's play out west will conclude Saturday with a doubleheader, starting with UC-Riverside (2-3) at Noon ET and ending with No. 1/2 Oklahoma (5-0) at 4:30 p.m. ET.
Kentucky will play host to the SEC Tournament this season for the first time in school history. The event, which is considered one of the most prestigious softball tournaments in the nation, will be May 8-11 in Lexington. The championship game will be featured on ESPN2, while all other games will be shown on ESPNU. Ticket information for the tournament will be released soon on UKathletics.com.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
For whatever the reason, and I don't have it, the SBC is the happiest engine on the planet with that bypass. Some don't seem to care one way or the other but the SBC sure does. Anyway nice looking installation.
Problem fixed
Well I have routed the bypass and put in the Mr. Gaskety thermostat and it cools the engine much more consistently with the bypass than it ever did even with the old pump. The engine just climbs to 185 and and stays there. So the problem was cavitation because there was not sufficient return flow to the pump to provide circulation which the bypass solved. Probally could have benifited to old pump too
Thanks oldbogie and everyone else. worked out great!
This is a '95 or older block, right? What heads are you using?
You could get by w/possibly a smaller size, but a -10 would be good.
Bpass hose size?
still waiting for parts but it has occured to me to wonder if the size of my bypass hose from the intake to the water pump is a critical factor. -8AN, -10AN, -12AN? the bigger the better?
|drill a 1/8 hole in your thermostat. See if it works then.
thanks for the replys.
This is actually the second pump from edelbrock i have tried, with the same problem. I had pulled the cover on both pumps to verify the proper impeller. I have the standard rotation pump and am using grooved pullies, not the reverse smooth ones usually run in serpentine belt setups. The rad is higher than the waterneck and i even have a proper catch can, sunking in to the rad from the bottom hose
I had tried filling the engine up from the thermostat and that didnt work. tried jacking up to help the air along, with no success. Even tried running the engine without the thermostat and then pull the water neck to drop in the thermostat so the block stayed full. Ive done a pile of reading and decided to run a bypass from the manifold to the pump like a heater core would normally do, the benefits seem to large to ignore even without this little problem, as well as the high flow Mr. Gasket thermostat. I'll post a picture when im done ant let ya know what actually solved the problem, if any. Using -10 AN fittings so it will all match my engine polish nicely
|V8 Super Beetle
I agree, it sounds like you have air in your cooling system. I was having this same problem with my rear radiator setup.
This is what I did to get the air out of the system, not that you have to be this through. You could skip 1 and just fill the radiator up and go to 2.
1. Removed the thermostat housing and thermostat, and fill the block from the intake. Once the block fills up the water will overflow into the radiator and start to fill it. Once the block overflows, or the radiator, put the thermostat and housing back on. Then top off your radiator.
2. Start up the engine and let it warm up. Watch the coolant / water level. Once it reaches the thermostat temp of 180, you'll see the coolant start to flow and a little steam / water vapor will start to come out. Top it off again and put the radiator cap on.
The first thing is to fill the system completely with no bubbles. This takes running the engine while filling till the thermostat opens. This allows the system to complete purging trapped air. When the engine cools the coolant level will go down because the coolant contracts as it gets colder. Refill when it's cooled off till the system is full again. The system needs an overflow tank. When the system is full cold; as the engine heats the coolant it will expand and needs a place to go where the system can recover that excess quantity when it cools again. This keeps the system operating full under a large range of operating conditions and it prevents the system from sucking in air as it cools off. Air mixed with hot coolant is extremely corrosive to engine parts (especially aluminum). Air MUST be kept out of the cooling system to the greatest extent possible.
The pump, not being there I've been taking something of a shotgun approach so far. The pump could be missing or have a loose impeller. Even a simple spinning disk with no vanes at all will inside a pump cavity result in a flow of liquid, not a good flow but a flow none-the-less. Even a reverse rotation pump will pump something when turned backwards again not enough, but something to see. No flow would indicate that either the coolant level isn't high enough to prime the pump, or there is no pumping action from a missing or loose impeller. The back comes off the pump, so this is easy to check.
|i could try that water wetter, the idea of reduced surface tension makes for good sense, as well as slowing down the pump but i, gonna try this larger bore thermostat first. Start cheap and work toward a solution, cause if reducing backpressure is the key, thats a $15 fix
If you're not pushing water through the radiator and the pump is good, the pump is probably cavitating and is spinning in what is essentially an air pocket. You could slow the pump down with a pulley change or go to a pump with a different impeller design. You can also add a product like Water Wetter that is a surfactant that lowers the surface tension of the water, ie making it slipperier and reducing the tendency to cavitate.
Don't know what you're using for coolant, but during the summer, I use only water, Water Wetter and Zerex water pump lubricant and anti-corrosion treatment and also added a bung to the radiator to screw in a zinc anode (I get from the boat supply store -- also a good source for stainless fasteners and high-grade electrical components) to reduce corrosion. You have to run anti-freeze in the winter, but anti-freeze reduces the efficiency of the coolant
thanks for the reply but im still unclear one one thing. why once the engine warms up and the thermostat competely opens, and i have verifed this pulling off the thermostat neck while the engine is good and hot too, is there still absloutly no flow through the radiator? at some point it should begin to flow right? This problem is present from idle all the way to the top.
I forgot so i should also say, following a hunch, i figured maybe it could be pressure related problem holding the thermostat closed so i tried flipping the thermostat up side down and it actually got the temp down to 210 from 250 degrees. My gut says its just spinning that impeller in an air pocket though.
It sounds like your configuration has the pump deadheaded, which might indicate the right side bypass in the casting isn't functioning or isn't enough of a bypass for the Edlebrock pump. These high flow pumps use a different design impeller from the OEM and may need more bypass to keep from stalling. I'd plumb the bypass from manifold to pump in preference to drilling holes or at least very many or large holes in the thermostat. The hosed bypass lets the pump circulate coolant thru the block and heads when the thermostat is closed. This heats the engine up faster than running even small amounts of coolant thru the radiator when cold as the holes in the thermostat will allow, this gets the carb or injection off "choke" more quickly to reduce fuel wash of the lube from the upper cylinders. This also uses coolant flow to eliminate local boiling which especially is problem with the paired exhausts as this is a lot of heat in a small area, this spot can be flaming hot while the rest of the engine is cold, in turn it leads to cracked castings, warped valves, seats that fall out of aluminum heads, and not so pleasant things like that. Seems like if this is a motor that's on show in a coupe that a bypass with some AN fittings and stainless wrapped hose would offer that polished industrial look while doing something practical.
|It probably won't make a difference, but have you tried routing the heater inlet/outlet through a short length of hose rather than just blocking it off?
Unique cooling problem??
I have a 383 chevy stroker motor that really has no cooling problems but this gets interesting, trust me.
The water pump I have now is a stock long water pump with the bypass, the threaded port on the top of the pump body that is plumbed into the heater core or directly to the intake manifold, and is blocked off. I am not running a heater core or any other accessories plumbed into the coolant system. Be cool amuminum radiator, stant thermostat 180 degrees stat.
Everything worked well until i switched my pump to the edelbrock polsihed aluminum high flow pump to pretty things up a bit. The pump is the correct rotation direction, i have verified that, and is installed in the exact same configuration as the old pump. Now the engine will not flow a single drop of coolant and skyrockets to 250 no problem. when I remove the thermostat the pump flows like a champ, and i cant get it above 140 degrees. I have verified the function of the thermostat aswell as tried several other thermostats. Upon putting the old pump and thermostat back on, everything works fine again.
I am planning on trying one of the Mr gasket or the EMP/stewart high flow stats with the bypass holes in them. I have even replaced the pump under warranty and the problem persits.
I phoned edlebrock and knowone had any what to do, or any useful information.
Has anyone else had this problem?
Dont stock pumps have an internal bypass circut within the pump body? Does anyone know it the edelbrocks have this internal bypass aswell?
If this does not work, im just gonna replace it with a stewart pump When i phoned them, they actually knew what they were talking bout.

Bryan Ferry + Roxy Music
Within a few years, Roxy Music had become phenomenally successful, affording Ferry the opportunity to cut his first solo LP in 1973. Far removed from the group's arty glam rock, These Foolish Things established the path that all of Ferry's solo work -- as well as the final Roxy Music records -- would take, focusing on elegant synth pop interpretations of '60s hits like Bob Dylan's "A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall," the Rolling Stones' "Sympathy for the Devil," and the Beatles' "You Won't See Me," all rendered in the singer's distinct, coolly dramatic manner.
Roxy Music remained Ferry's primary focus, but in 1974 he returned with a second solo effort, Another Time, Another Place, another collection of covers ranging from "You Are My Sunshine" to "It Ain't Me, Babe" to "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes." His third venture, 1976's Let's Stick Together, featured remixed, remade, and remodeled versions of Roxy Music hits as well as the usual assortment of covers. Released in 1977, In Your Mind was Ferry's first collection of completely original material; the following year's The Bride Stripped Bare, a work inspired by his broken romance with model Jerry Hall, split evenly between new songs and covers.
Ferry did not record another solo album until 1985's Boys and Girls, a sleek, seamless effort that was his first "official" solo release following the Roxy breakup. For 1987's Bete Noire, he was joined by former Smiths guitarist Johnny Marr on the shimmering "The Right Stuff," and notched his only U.S. Top 40 hit with "Kiss and Tell." Another covers collection, Taxi, followed in 1993; Mamouna, an LP of originals, appeared a year later, and in 1999 Ferry returned with a collection of standards, As Time Goes By. After a brief tour in support of As Time Goes By, there were rumors of a Roxy Music reunion. The next summer, the practically unimaginable came true when Ferry joined Andy Mackay and Phil Manzanera for a tour of Europe and the U.S. It was a celebration of hits, and the band's first jaunt out in more than a decade.
In summer 2002, Ferry returned to his solo career for the electrifying Frantic. Dylanesque, a set of Bob Dylan covers, followed in 2007, featuring assistance from several longtime associates (including Brian Eno, Chris Spedding, Paul Carrack, and Robin Trower). Ferry signed with the Astralwerks imprint for the release of 2010's Olympia. In 2012, he assembled the Bryan Ferry Orchestra and recorded The Jazz Age. This completely instrumental album featured his band re-recording some of his biggest hits in a 1920s jazz style. Ferry returned to the studio in 2014 to record his 14th studio album with longtime collaborator Rhett Davies. The resulting Avonmore -- which included guest spots from Johnny Marr, Nile Rodgers, and Marcus Miller and revived Ferry's mid-'80s sound -- appeared in November. ~ Jason Ankeny

Until early December a near-term solution on the future of transportation infrastructure financing was little more than talk in Washington as politicians battled over varying proposals to ensure that the Highway Trust Fund - or something like it - continues to provide dollars for the nation's road and bridge projects.
Then on Dec. 8 President Obama announced that the administration would be crafting a multi-faceted plan to further stimulate job growth. The bill could end up on Obama's desk as early as the first quarter 2010, pushing consideration of the Surface Transportation Authorization Act of 2009 by Rep. James Oberstar (D-Minn.) back to at least mid-2010.
Part of that would be a $50-billion allocation for transportation infrastructure to be obligated within one year of the bill's passage. Light on details, the White House suggested the plan may be partially funded by repaid financial bailout money, negating a compromise proposal announced by Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell and Sen. Richard Durbin (D-Ill.) that would have borrowed money from a multi-year program before it was actually put into place.
The compromise would have authorized billions in 2010-11 while deferring long-term funding solutions until after the mid-term elections. Although Durbin never said how much his plan would front-load, Rendell suggested the total investment would be about $150 billion.
Since highway user fees - particularly a gas tax of 18.3 cents/gallon - were last increased in 1993, the Highway Trust Fund's purchasing power has declined by more than 33%. User fees, including tolls and the gas tax, generate $35 billion annually (less than half of what's needed to maintain the highways), leading to calls for a controversial increase in the federal gas tax to 36 cents and a user fee system based on vehicle miles traveled.
Rendell believes Americans would support a tax increase if they knew the truth: 61% believe that the tax increases with inflation, according to a poll by the Building America's Future group."Had that been true, we'd be paying 44 cents/gallon," Rendell explains.
"One of the easiest options is to lift the cap on the number of federal aid highways that can be tolled by the states," Rendell says. "That wouldn't require Washington to make the difficult decisions." He also supports a federal capital improvement budget, but that idea lacks broad-based support in Congress.
Obama's Dec. 8 announcement further delayed consideration of the $500-billion, six-year House bill proposed by Oberstar to succeed SAFETEA-LU, which expired Sept. 30. The White House moved cautiously last fall to extend the surface-transportation funding program, passing two one-month extensions before announcing the jobs bill. As late as mid-November, the White House hadn't committed to any of the proposals to increase transportation infrastructure funding.
The U.S. Department of Transportation has assured Congress that the trust fund - which received a $7 billion transfer from general funds in August to remain solvent - has about $5 billion left, enough to provide uninterrupted funding through summer 2010.
Meanwhile, as the $30 billion of highway funding provided by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act was keeping some projects active, the one-time $8 billion rescission of unobligated funds was a blow to an industry that desperately needs a long-term funding solution.
The Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 made the SAFETEA-LU rescission much less flexible than rescissions in previous years. The rescission drew from funds that had accumulated over the past several years as states were required to set aside a small portion of their annual funding to ensure budgetary flexibility.
"This effort is complicated by the crowded congressional calendar, disagreements over the means of generating the revenues needed to make the necessary investments, and the toxic partisan environment in Washington," says Oberstar, chair of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee.
He joined House Subcommittee on Highways and Transit Chair Peter DeFazio (D-Ore.) and John Horsley, executive director of the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials, Dec. 2 to announce they'd identified 7,497 "ready-to-go" projects worth more than $47 billion that could be approved for funding within 120 days.
The immediate need for a long-term solution is evident especially in Oberstar's home state of Minnesota, which leads the nation with the highest share of congested urban roads during peak travel time: 76%. Additionally, poor road conditions, lost time and additional fuel from congestion costs each driver $1,501 annually, according to "Future Mobility in Minnesota: Meeting the State's Need for Safe and Efficient Mobility," released by The Road Information Program (TRIP) research group.
Obama's jobs bill is the best option for infrastructure managers until Oberstar's $500 billion, six-year bill moves on to the Senate. Obama's proposal encourages merit-based infrastructure investment that leverages federal dollars through a combination of grants and loans, similar to the recovery act's TIGER program, the $1.5 billion grant program designed to promote innovative cleaner transportation projects that feature bike-sharing and public transit.
Obama essentially endorsed a plan by Pennsylvania's Rendell to create a national infrastructure bank without actually referring to it directly. The bank would be a public-private partnership that would evaluate and finance the largest projects by securing low interest rates with federal money while leveraging the private funds for long-term investments.
But Obama is trading long-term infrastructure investment for short-term political success. Heading into what's likely to be a contentious mid-term election year, the administration has set its sights on turning the highly unpopular Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) into a popular one by creating even more jobs. That effectively would delay decisions about long-term infrastructure funding even further. "That will push the reauthorization of SAFETEA-LU back to after the 2010 election (Nov. 2)," Rendell says.
"This effort has considerable support among House Democratic leaders and within our Caucus," Oberstar says of his bill. "We need political will and leadership to find a long-term solution to financing surface transportation investments. Taking a partisan approach to this issue will only serve to undermine efforts to pass serious legislation addressing the nation's current economic crisis and the need to transform surface transportation programs."

Winning Ways
Portsmouth native earns top honors in opera composition contest
September 05. 2013 12:20AM
WINNING WAYS: Christopher Weiss, a Seacoast native and resident of Ann Arbor, Mich., was recognized by The Crane School of Music at SUNY Potsdam in New York in its international composition competition.
The winners included "In a Mirror, Darkly," with music by Weiss and a libretto by S. O'Duinn Magee. The honor comes with a $5,000 prize and the future production of an act or segment of the work.
Born in Portsmouth in 1980, Weiss primarily was raised in the Northeastern states. His paternal grandfather, a fisheries biologist in Missouri, was an amateur violin maker who enjoyed experimenting by constructing violins using unconventional woods. At the age of five, Weiss' grandfather presented him with a handmade, one quarter-size violin, and he began taking his first music lessons. At 12, Weiss taught himself to play the piano, and he developed an interest in composing during high school. He holds degrees from Rollins College and the Curtis Institute of Music.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
I want to add, my dog is on a prescription allergy medicine. The generic name starts with an "oxy-something". Sorry I don't remember, I'll have to look at the bottle when I get home. It's not very expensive, and he has been on it most of the year. Definitely stay away from the prednisone in the future. It works short term, but is not a long term solution.
For now you can start giving your dog Benadryl and see how it works. Make sure you get PLAIN Benadryl with no additional medicines. Here is the dosage. Well, 2 different ways. I just use the second method.
Benadryl Dosage for Dogs:
The right dosage of this medication is usually determined in two different ways as indicated below:
1. It is administered by giving 1 milligram for every pound of a dogs weight after every 8 hours or three times per day. A good example would be, a dog weighing 40lb should take 40mg of Benadryl three times within a single day.
2. Dogs are grouped according to three different weight classes with the dosage varying between these weight categories. What remains constant is the fact that the medication is taken three times a day regardless of the weight of the dog. The following are the categories:
- Dogs weighing 30 pounds and below 10mg
- Between 30 and 50 pounds 25mg
- 50 pounds and above 50mg
It could be flea bite allergies, too. Frontline isn't perfect.
My dog had flea bit allergies when he was a puppy and bit off most of his hair near his back end. Fortunately, it was only that one season and never returned.
MY current dog has environmental allergies and it manifests as itchy eyes, and he is constantly rubbing his eyes on rugs and furniture and rubbing his fur off. Also a lot of feet licking
Another thing to consider. Is his skin flaky? Do you see dandruff in his fur? Maybe all those baths are causing the problem. Bathe less, and use a mild oatmeal shampoo.
If it is allergies the Prednisone will work. But it's not good to constantly give him Prenisone. You can get a topical steriod spray that works if the hair is sparse enough. I used it on my dog's feet because he had licked half the hair off. It worked in 2 or 3 days and that was fixed.
|Have you changed foods recently?
How old and what are you feeding him?
Heh, just noticed he's 3. So that leaves food (for starters) what diet is he on?
It sounds like allergies to me, but I'm no expert. Try finding a really nice allergy shampoo. (Not one from Walmart or other super centers, but something from a pet supply retailer) and try bathing once a week with it?
My fiances sister had a dog that did that basically. She has lots of missing hair in some areas and some scabs. Allergy meds also helped her.
Maybe someone will have some more expertise in this area.
Also, what food are you feeding? Maybe someone will have advice on that as well.
|Has the vet done a skin scraping? When did it start? Where do you live at? Are pollens still out? What is he eating?
|Good shepard
Need advise my vet isn't helping!
My 3 yr old male shepherd is itching and biting. It isn't fleas he is frontlined monthly and I wash him monthly. Today I got home and he bit himself till he bled. The vet gave him some prednezone and when i was done giving him the meds it came back ....allergies.?? I'm open for suggestions

Arsène Wenger will not allow himself or his players to get ahead of themselves as they chase a top-three finish in the Premier League.
Arsenal have a two-point advantage over Tottenham and Newcastle with Chelsea a further two points back - and all three sides have played a game more than the Gunners.
Wenger knows that his team will be five clear of the chasing pack if they beat bottom club Wolves on Wednesday night but he has no intention of second-guessing England's unpredictable top flight.
"For some people these predictions are their job," Wenger told Arsenal Player. "Believe me, they don't know much better than you or me and the result of every game is just a consequence of your performance on the day.
"Nobody can really predict that because your performance on the day depends on you, but also depends on the other team as well. To predict both is nearly impossible. You can have an idea but football has surprised us so many times, especially recently in the last two or three months.
"We have all been surprised by many results and predictions. What would be interesting is to make a championship of the predictors and see who comes out on top at the end.
"Let's not anticipate, that is something else that is important. When it gets to the last sprint, the focus on the next game becomes the most important part because you are always tempted to anticipate. We have the experience to know just to deal with the next one and that is the only important thing."

2014 Mazda6 Rated at up to 38 MPG Highway, Diesel Incoming

2014 Mazda6 pairs good looks with impressive fuel economy
Mazda may be known for "Zoom-Zoom", but the company's midsize sedan offering has never been a big sales success in the U.S. market. However, Mazda is looking to make its Mazda6 a credible player in a market dominated by the Camry/Accord/Altima/Fusion/Sonata.
The first key to catching the attention from buyers is with its more dramatic styling. While the midsize sedan category is known for its boring designs, entries like the
2011 Hyundai Sonata
2011 Kia Optima
showed that you don't have to be stuck driving a boring box. More recently, Ford wowed customers with its Aston Martin-esque
2013 Fusion
. The Mazda6 too brings its own design flair to the segment with eye-catching curves and creases. The huge grille may not be for everyone, but it seems to "work" on the Mazda6.
Mazda is also looking to attract buyers with its thrifty 2.5-liter Skyactiv four-cylinder engine. Rated at 184hp and 185 lb-ft of torque, the engine definitely won't make the Mazda6 a road rocket by any means, but it should have no trouble getting out of its own way. More importantly, however, the engine is rated a 25 mpg in the city and 37 mpg on the highway (29 mpg combined) with a 6-speed manual transmission (yay for manuals). However, if you step up to the 6-speed automatic, the numbers jump to an even more impressive 26 mpg city and 38 mpg highway (30 mpg combined).
And Mazda will also
take a page from Volkswagen's playbook
during the second half of 2013: it will offer a diesel engine in the Mazda6. The 2.2-liter Skyactiv-D will find its way to the Mazda6, offering up an alternative to the hybrid powertrains that are typically made available in this vehicle class. There is no word yet on what the EPA numbers will be for the diesel, but rest assured that they will likely surpass the already impressive numbers available for the gasoline version of the Mazda6.

Builders clearing 20 tonnes of rubble uncovered an old cabaret theatre in the heart of east Berlin dating from 1905.
Having been a glittering stop on the city's social horizon during the Golden Era of the Weimar Republic, the beautiful ballroom building closed for an unknown reason in the 1930s - perhaps part of a crackdown on the cabaret scene by the Nazis.
After lying empty and derelict, being used as a dumping ground for World War II rubbish which shrouded the building's delicate frescoes, curving staircases and once mirrored walls, the Gartenstrasse-based music hall, which lay neglected in the communist east of the city post-war, is now a weathered testimony to a tumultuous period of history.
But its sorry state is set to improve with the help of visionary architects Moritz Gruppe which have acquired the old theatre and intend to restore the three-storey space into studios, performance and exhibition venues.

Changing a team's footballing philosophy is one of the hardest jobs for a manager, according to Arsène Wenger.
The Arsenal boss spent some of his pre-match press conference on Friday fielding questions on the travails of his Premier League rival at Chelsea - Andre Villas-Boas.
The Portuguese arrived at Stamford Bridge with a big reputation after enjoying huge success with Porto but he is reportedly under pressure after suffering five defeats in his last nine games.
Villas-Boas is one of football's most highly-rated young managers and has been trying to impose his methods on an experienced Chelsea squad. Wenger knows how difficult that can be.
"It is hard to do," he said. "But I believe as well that a manager when he has strong players in the squad and they share what he thinks it makes him stronger. If they go against you, it is difficult.
"It is not easy but in our job you can only survive if you do how you feel. After you can get it through or not. That is what I did. So for me it was not too difficult. I was just convinced of what I wanted and I was fortunate to face intelligent players.
"I had Steve Bould, Tony Adams, Nigel Winterburn, Lee Dixon, Martin Keown - they are all intelligent people. And they thought that maybe this guy is completely mad but we will try and it can work - you never know."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

I was wondering if there are any TEFL couples working in Italy who also have young children. I am thinking of moving to Italy with my wife and 2 young children - my wife & I will both be teaching. We are not looking to work in Milan or Rome, but instead a smaller town/city somewhere in Tuscany or Emilia Romagna.
I am looking for advice from people in a similar situation and their views on quality/cost of accommodation, schooling, cost of living etc.
Any advice would be appreciated!

Due the holiday, this Week in Review covers June 28th through June 5th.
Grenades Galore – In case you haven't heard, grenades and planes do not mix. Inert grenades were discovered at DSM, SEA, TPA, and BNA. Two live smoke grenades were discovered at DEN. Read here and here on why inert items cause problems at checkpoints. We don't know they're inert until we check them out and checking them out can often inconvenience your fellow passengers.
A razor knife was discovered in the seat of a wheelchair at Salt Lake City (SLC).
A 4" knife was discovered concealed inside a comb at Baltimore (BWI).
A 3 ½" knife was found concealed in the lining of a bag at LaGuardia (LGA).
Kids Pack the Darndest Things – Even though a 9-year-old's grandmother packed their bag, the child went in later and added 6 ground bloom fireworks. I can see why they wanted them. My 9-year-old self probably would have packed them too. These fireworks were discovered at Milwaukee (MKE).
Automotive Flares: Keyword "automotive." Not only are automotive flares prohibited on aircraft, the look a little creepy due to their resemblance to dynamite sticks. Two of them were discovered at Phoenix (PHX) in a passenger's carry-on bag.

Pakistani demonstrators shout anti-US slogans during a protest in Multan on January 8, 2013, against the drone attacks in Pakistan's tribal areas. (S.S Mirza/AFP/Getty Images)
There's been a lot of chatter recently about "Out of Sight, Out of Mind," a new online infographic which shows a chilling visualization of all estimated deaths in Pakistan caused by U.S. drone strikes, including children and civilians, based on estimates from the Bureau of Investigative Journalism and New America Foundation. Whether you agree with the numbers, or the politics, behind this particular project (put together by the data visualization firm Pitch Interactive), at least it's sparking debate. And that's got to be a good thing — there's still so much we don't know about this highly controversial issue.
To say that the use of drone strikes is a polarizing topic would be a vast understatement. In U.S. policy circles, it's projected as an effective counter-terrorism tactic, whereas globally, it is often seen as tacit abuse of state sovereignty. And that's before you get to the debate over potential international law and human rights violations.
Take, for example, the use of drone strikes to target al-Qaida, the Taliban and their affiliates in the restive tribal belt of Pakistan bordering Afghanistan. There are a variety of studies available regarding the accuracy, reliability and ultimate effectiveness of this tool of war, and, using the same data, analysts can come to very different conclusions depending on their particular point of view, or — in some cases — that of their employers.
For some, the percentage of civilian deaths is the criterion, and for others, denying the terrorists sanctuary is a critical benchmark. The problem is a lack of credible data (and consensus) regarding exactly how many terrorists have been killed by drone strikes and who those terrorists are. Thus, objectivity has become another victim in the process.
In my assessment, the ground realities that must be kept in mind in this analysis include:
Some of these facts may sound contradictory, and that is because they are. The truth is we don't know whether U.S. drone strikes have killed more terrorists or produced more terrorists.
Regardless, killing terrorists is only a stopgap arrangement. A corresponding and parallel development strategy for bringing the tribal areas into mainstream Pakistan is in dire need in order to empower girls like Malala Yousafzai, who challenged the insufferable Taliban worldview by standing up for education. This inclusiveness has long been the missing component in U.S. policy, and tragically, it remains so. Dismantling the al-Qaida network is a worthwhile goal, but de-radicalization is equally important.
It is not that there has been no U.S. investment in education, but rather, the dilemma is lack of balance in use of hard and soft power. In some cases bureaucratic hurdles delayed implementation of well-intentioned development plans. Inter-agency disconnect is yet another challenge. Pakistan's malfunctioning counterterrorism policy and entrenched regional rivalries only exacerbate the situation.
There were roughly 350 drone strikes in the tribal areas since 2004, at an exorbitant cost (even though drone strikes offer a cheaper option in comparison to "boots on ground"). But how many schools were opened in the region over the same period of time? The answer is distressing, as the number of schools has actually declined sharply.
Damages to more than 460 schools throughout the tribal belt at the hands of Taliban has in fact displaced 62,000 children, including 23,000 girls, from school. It doesn't require very high intelligence to guess that in the absence of schools, and with an increase in violence, what kind of future awaits these kids. Drone strikes may take out some of those who destroyed these schools, but that is hardly a sustainable solution to the larger problem.

PS: put me on the list but please answer this Q ;)
Please add me as well. Thanks.
Pm sent about magnet
Edit: this option is not yet available
PERFECT! So thank you very much for this opportunity! :thumbsup
Definitely Interested. Sign me up.
Sign me up also plz and thanx
Okay, might as well get in on the ground floor here! Put me down for one!
Add me to the list. Thanks.
i was wondering if the guy who bought that webley on gunbroker was a member here. you got it for a great price :thumbsup dont forget to fill in those markings from WWII on the stock before molding :)
I'm interested! I have plans to scratch-build, and I might still, but a molded one would be an amazing help! Can you PM me the details?
Quick update:
I am using what time I have after work doing all the prep work to get all the frames ready. Hopefully I will be able to offer some of the greeblies as well (but they are not my main focus..yet). I will be getting some filler for the stock to remove the markings making it nice and purty.
I was hoping to start pouring the RTV this weekend, but I will be out of town at a wedding so that may slow me down a bit. However, if I get all my prep work done before the week is out, I might start to pour before Friday.
Once the molds are finished and the resin is ready to go, I will let everyone know and start taking payments for those still interested.
On a completely different side note, I noticed how different my ESB cape colors look in each photo (top of page). It's the same cape, but different lighting and one is a different camera. So hard to judge accurate color matching with some photos.
definately interested
Count me in for one!!! I'm in the UK so maybe the shipped price will change a little but I'm defenitely in!
Quick update photo:
some items taking a Silicone bath and others waiting for the dip in the baby blue.
I've been sick and wasn't able to send the magnet today I'll ship it tomorrow.
are those knee darts and an mq1 I see?
Wow... how did I miss this post.
Is there a spot still open?
You know what, just put me down for 1 full kit and 2 stocks.

Dear Drs. Despommier and Racaniello,
I am almost caught up listening to TWiP! I look forward to your future efforts and eBooks, etc., however, in TWiP # 32, I thought I heard you mention that there would be a link to Dr. Despommier's lectures. I couldn't wait to go to your website and check them out. Unfortunately, the link was missing. You know what they say about the missing link, don't you? It must be a cryptid! But seriously, hope you will post the link to the lectures at your next opportunity. Please? :-)
I am dreading listening to # 33 because there are no more TWiPs available yet. I live in a semi tropical climate in SW Florida so tropical diseases and parasites are especially interesting. The only good thing about being current with your series, is that I can start to catch up on TWiVs and TWiMs. I did find Dr. Racaniello's lectures in Virology on iTunes and am watching this series. I started with the hepatitis Delta virus. It is of special interest to me as are all forms of viral hepatitis.
Dr. Despommier, please consider doing a podcast on vertical farming and even throw in some other tidbits of gardening wisdom.
I took the user survey as you request. Perhaps the results will help you in your future efforts. The way you two work together on TWiP makes for a delightful experience. Science, medicine and pathogens "float my boat" so it is a great pleasure to have two learned professors so engaged in interesting discussions.
I have written before. Hope this isn't too much. Consider that you are talking (via my earbuds) straight into my noggin: I feel like I know you both and it is an honor.
Best regards,

Vincent & Dickson,
My wife pointed me to TWIP and what a blast. My 23 year old son and I are making our way through the early episodes during our commute to and from work and loving every minute of it. After listening to the tapeworm episodes I will NEVER pet a dog from Wyoming or any other of the sheep states.
I'm not sure if you have covered the evolution of parasites, we're only up to episode 9, but that must be as crazy as ever. Surely you have enough material for several years worth of podcasts, but I'd like to hear a bit about how an animal accumulates such a bizarre life history.
Peter writes:
Dear TWiP team.
I was speculating about parasites that modify host behaviour and a possible strategy that may have evolved in those transmitted by blood feeding vectors.
To achieve optimum transmission of the parasite uninfected blood feeding insect vectors should find infected hosts more attractive than uninfected ones and once the insect vector had itself become infected its behaviour should change so that it would then preferentially seek uninfected hosts.
Has any research been done to determine whether any parasites that employ blood feeding vectors actually do modify host smell and vector preference in this manner?
As I was writing I was thinking of arthropod vectors such as mosquitoes and biting flies but it occurred to me that there are other possible blood feeding vectors such as vampire bats and leaches whose behaviour could also be potentially modified in this way.
Are there any zoonotic infections that are transmitted by leach vectors?
Lastly, I have seen blood feeders described as Hematophagous and Sanguivorous are these synonymous, and if not what is the correct/preferred term?

In your discussion of Wolbachia in filariasis, Vincent suggested tetracycline for therapy. Dickson opined that it was too toxic and expensive . Au contraire, in the QID form it is "dirt cheap" and has been used widely since the mid 50's. Prolonged use does cause mottling of the teeth, and florescence of the bones under Woods light, not a problem for most of us. Wonderful Podcast, and deeply appreciated. Thanks

Top O' The Mornin' To Ya! (I'm not Irish - I just like the phrase..)
I would like to thank you for putting together such an excellent podcast. I'm currently a Med Tech working in a parasitology laboratory and enjoy my days searching through blood and pooh for those tiny life forms that you describe so well. I was introduced to the world of parasites by a course I took as an undergrad. The course instructor was one Dr. James B. Jensen. Judging from your earlier talks, I trust that this name will sound familiar. As you can imagine, the course taught by such a well known parasitologist was an amazing experience. I have a great passion for parasitology, and I'll see what kind of future I can put together. Thanks again for the great shows. I encourage you to continue, and add my voice to those that are calling for more. It is This WEEK in parasitism, you know! :)

Hi, Vincent and Dickson.
I'm a PhD student at the University of California Davis and a long-time listener of This Week in Parasitism and This Week in Virology. I have a great appreciation for the fact that you two are successful scientists who take time out of your busy schedules to share your love of parasites and viruses with the general public. In fact, I was so inspired by This Week in Parasitism that I have since begun podcasting about science topics myself! Thanks for the inspiration!
I thought you two might be interested in an "experiment" in science crowdfunding called the SciFund Challenge. One exciting aspect of this experiment is that we're exploring a potential new source of funding (i.e., the general public) for small science projects at a time when everyone seems to be complaining about how difficult it is to get grant money. While this aspect of the experiment is certainly exciting, the most exciting part to me is the fact that crowdfunding forces scientists to engage with the public. Not only does the public get a chance to learn about cutting edge research, but they get the opportunity to have a voice in deciding the direction of future research through the money they donate.
While I think you might be interested in learning about a program incentivizing scientist engagement with the public, my motives are not entirely altruistic. I have a SciFund project focusing on how trematode parasites manipulate the behavior of their hosts, and I'm wondering if you would be willing to help me get exposure to my RocketHub proposal for this project (URL is here: http://www.rockethub.com/projects/3737-support-zombie-research, or go to RocketHub.com and search "Support Zombie Research"). I study Euhaplorchis californiensis (EUHA), a trematode parasite infecting the brains of California killifish. EUHA manipulates the neurochemistry and behavior of their fish hosts, a fact which I find endlessly fascinating. These parasites have essentially had millions of years to figure out how the fish's brain works, and to figure out how to manipulate brain chemistry to achieve their own goals. I'm working on quantifying the extent to which the parasites modify the behavior of their host, and am trying to figure out the mechanism by which these parasites achieve their extraordinary behavioral manipulation. I believe parasites have a lot to tell us about how brain chemistry influences behavior, and I think of my research as an exercise in coercing EUHA to tell me what it has learned over millions of years about brains and behavior.
If you would be willing to tweet about my project or mention it in any other way, I would be endlessly appreciative. I'm happy to answer any questions you might have about my study system, as it's pretty much my favorite thing in the world to discuss!

Dear Drs. Racaniello and Despommier,
I just discovered your wonderful Podcasts! I am a registered nurse who has an unusual background. I worked as a diener at a teaching hospital while working my way through college. My mom was an RN also when there were few vaccines. She graduated in 1935. She would often discuss what she had seen as a public health and Army nurse anesthestist in WWII. She had a library of medical textbooks that I enjoyed reading . I spent part of my career as a nurse epidemiologist (county public health practice) and as an STD clinician, where I got to work with all kinds of infectious diseases and conditions (viral, bacterial and of course parasitic.)
I have been interested in infectious diseases and conditions since I was a young child when I got my first microscope. Also I have been lucky enough to live in semi tropical Florida for over 30 years. The University of S. Florida still has a great series of podcasts from their medical school's Division of Infectious Diseases. They also discuss tropical medicine and have a College of Public Health.
My first in person experience with a parasite specimen which really "hooked" me on microbiology was that of a tapeworm which was in a huge (tall) container in the foyer of Abbott Labs in Chicago. I was with a group of High School students which had a NSF grant in collaboration with Northwestern University's College of Medicine.
I have been fortunate to see a lot of interesting things because I also did some bio-medical illustrations. I am both an artist and a nurse.
To make a long winded email shorter...Your podcasts are infectious...I believe there is no cure or treatment other than continuing as a listener to you discuss microbes in your most engaging fashion.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experiences!

Dear Drs. Despommier and Racaniello,
I am an auditor. To occupy my mind while I work I started scouring iTunes for science rich content. I saw your show "TWIP" and thought why not? I think the first TWIP I listened to was #33. I was immediately hooked. I went home and subscribed to TWIP, TWIM, and TWIV that night.
Currently I am listening to all of the TWIPs in a row before I start the other shows. I love the education, the ick factor is pretty high but this show provides me with an EXCELLENT free education, and helps me confront fears that were boogey men in my mind by giving me real quantifiable behaviors and characteristics of many things I have had uninformed fears about ( i.e. Trichinella, Toxoplasmosis, and tapeworms).
I am very saddened that I didn't know who Dr. Despommier was prior to November of this year. In the Spring of 2011 I was writing a business plan for my entrepreneurship class and I advocated that my group do our project on vertical farming. We were unable to find any resource that would provide us with information on how to successfully integrate a vertical farming business into an urban area such as Phoenix AZ, where our fictitious business had to be. We had thought about potentially buying a tall structure like an empty condo tower, or office building and converting it into a farm, or placing farms on roof tops (kind of like they do in Cuba). Sadly we couldn't find any cost to benefit analysis, yield per acre data, or potential profit margins with which to build our fictitious business plan. We ended up using another idea of mine, recycled building material sales. I remain sad that we were unable to write a plan for vertical farming.
Thank you for providing me with such a wealth of free information. Thank you for presenting it in such a content rich way, without spoon feeding the listener. Please continue to do these shows. I am indifferent to frequency as long as I can continue to have access to your knowledge and experiences.

Dear Dr. Racaniello and Dr. Despommier,
I'm in the process of choosing a career (PhD or MD)
I would love to follow in your footsteps and become a professor, researching parasites and leading the young minds to new discoveries! However, when talking with my parasitology teacher it seemed like he was discouraging me due to the lack funding and interest in the subject. I wanted to know your opinion, especially Dr. Despommier's. Do you think part of your success in your area of research came from the 'newness' of the subject or is there still an opening for hopeful parasitologists.
Thanks for all the work you both put in to the TWI series, I am a huge fan.
I am waiting anxiously for the next installment of TWIP.

Fox Baselessly Suggests That Civilian Court Trial Will Result In Suspected Terrorist's Acquittal
Blog ››› ››› ELLIE SANDMEYER
Fox News fearmongered over reports that suspected terrorist Sulaiman Abu Ghaith will be tried in a Manhattan civilian court by downplaying the court's ability to convict terrorist suspects and baselessly advocated for a Guantanamo military trial.
On March 7, the Justice Department released an indictment charging Abu Ghaith with conspiring to kill Americans. Abu Ghaith, who previously served as a spokesman for Al Qaeda and is a son-in-law of Osama bin Laden, will face trial at a U.S. District Court in Manhattan.
Fox & Friends co-host Gretchen Carlson suggested that a civilian court trial could more likely result in Abu Ghaith's acquittal and possible release "back into our society" than if he were tried "at Gitmo." Co-host Steve Doocy echoed these concerns and cited a 2010 case in which a terrorist suspect faced 282 charges, but was acquitted on most of them, to stoke fears:
What happened? He was convicted. On one charge. And he was acquitted on 281 other counts, which boosts the suggestion and the argument that there's a completely different standard when you're talking about terrorists. They should be tried at Gitmo.
In a later segment on America's Newsroom, Fox contributor Erick Erickson expanded on Doocy and Carlson's comments. Erickson suggested:
Now, in Gitmo they have been able to do it quite successfully. There are number of military trials down there and convictions. They've sent others home. There's no reason he couldn't go down there other than there is an ideological opposition to keeping Gitmo open rather than come here.
In their advocacy of military tribunals, Carlson, Doocy and Erickson failed to report the New York courts full record of dealing with terrorist suspects.
Doocy based his disregard of the federal court system on a case that resulted in conviction, which was only one of many convictions to come out of the Manhattan civilian court system. In his focus on the dropped charges, Doocy failed to note that the detainee received a life sentence without parole, "the same maximum sentence... that he would have faced had he been convicted on all counts," according to The New York Times. In fact, the New York court that will be handling the Abu Ghaith trial has a 100 percent conviction rate. CNN reported: "Of the 81 jihadist terrorism suspects who have gone to trial since 9/11 in cases involving an undercover agent or informant, every single one has either been convicted or pleaded guilty."
According to The Wall Street Journal, U.S. officials have said that federal courts "are often a faster and surer way to try suspected terrorists." The Journal additionally noted:
An Obama administration official said national security officials--including those at the Defense Department, the Department of Homeland Security, the State Department and the Department of Justice--unanimously agreed that Mr. Abu Ghaith should be prosecuted in federal court.
In contrast, convictions at Guantanamo Bay are rare and have proven "vulnerable on appeal," the Los Angeles Times has reported. Of the thousands of detainees held since 2001, only seven convictions have come out of Guantanamo military tribunal, while "the vast majority have been sent back overseas, either for rehabilitation or continued detention and prosecution," according to an NPR report. Of the seven convictions, five were essentially nullified. The remaining two cases were both overturned by the court of appeals, one in October 2012 and the other in January 2013.

The invasion of Iraq stemmed from lies told by the president of the United States and the Secretary of Defense so it is little wonder deception, confusion, and disorientation became part of the process of fighting in Iraq. Sgt. Ryan Weemer is on trial for the murder of an unarmed prisoner during fighting in Fallujah. Today, Weemer and his comrades insist the prisoner tried to seize a gun which caused them to kill him. However, Captain Jonathan Vaughn says he clearly told Sgt. Weemer, "this was not a free-fire zone. We articulated the process by which the captured detainee was to be moved back from the fire fight." Unfortunately, for Sgt. Weemer in 2006 he told Mark Fox, who worked with the Naval Criminal Investigative Service "we didn't take any prisoners.. They didn't have any weapons.. They were just sitting there.. I did one guy…"
War stinks but there are rules and regulations that govern war. Sgt. Weemer apparently spoke the truth to Fox and now must be judged by what he openly said on tape regarding his state of mind and his actions.
One tragedy is the absence of punishment for his superiors– President Bush and Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld who encouraged disregard for rules of behavior in wartime. As usual, those on the front lines are punished while those sitting in offices far from the scene of conflict will spend their lives without any punishment.

Saudi Arabia has most probably spawned more terrorists than any society in the world. Its education system gave birth to Osama bin Laden and fifteen of the 19 World Trade Center bombing. Saudi schools teach a narrow interpretation of life which depicts non-Muslims as evil and disparages their religious beliefs. Pakistani Madrassas, which are heavily funded by Saudi Arabia, are hotbeds of radicalism and terror. Saudi Arabia is among the few places in the world in which women can not drive a car and the nation's laws grant to husbands power over the lives of their wives.However, King Abdullah is determined to make changes in the educational system before he dies– or dies in the effort?
The king placed new people in charge of the ministry of education and even appointed a woman to a key position and gave them orders to create a modern education system. Mohammed Youssef, a professor of education at King Abdulaziz University, says, "we have been calling for such changes for a long time." Everyone knows that one of the most important reasons for terrorists emerging from Saudi schools is they are taught the language of hate rather than of respect for other views and religions.
Reformers want to change textbooks to eliminate hate, explain in an intelligent manner the ideas of other people and societies, and draw upon modern concepts in science. King Abdullah seeks to create a new university centered on technology and science which would be open to both males and females, both sexes would be in class together, and many restrictions on women would be waived. If the king can pull this one off, he will impact not merely education, but the very basis of his society.
