Midnight Programming Environment Updates
There will be several programming environment updates on midnight during the scheduled maintenance in October. The following updates will be made to the PathScale and PGI programming environments:
Module Name Will Alias To Previously Aliased To --------------- ------------------- ---------------------- PrgEnv.old PrgEnv.path.old PrgEnv.path-2.5 PrgEnv.path.old PrgEnv.path-3.0 PrgEnv.path-2.5 PrgEnv PrgEnv.path PrgEnv.path-3.0 PrgEnv.path PrgEnv.path-3.1 PrgEnv.path-3.0 PrgEnv.new PrgEnv.path.new PrgEnv.path-3.1 PrgEnv.path.new PrgEnv.path-3.2 PrgEnv.path-3.1 PrgEnv.pgi.old PrgEnv.pgi-7.0.2 nothing -- new module PrgEnv.pgi PrgEnv.pgi-7.1.6 PrgEnv.pgi-7.0.2 PrgEnv.pgi.new PrgEnv.pgi-7.2.2 nothing -- new module
If you use the default Programming Environment and you do not wish to use the newer version of the PathScale compiler you will need to update your ~/.login (csh/tcsh users) or ~/.profile (ksh/bash users) to use PrgEnv.path-3.0. E.g.
# module load PrgEnv # explicitly load PrgEnv.path-3.0 module load PrgEnv.path-3.0

Combining Gridded Data and Grid Data Using ncatted and ncks
[ By: Patrick Webb ]
Many analysis tools and visualization tools prefer to have the grid and the gridded data together in the same file. However, it is not always the case that the data is in the same file as the file containing the grid. In this article I will show how to put the grid and data together into the same file. The example I will show uses the netCDF file format, two netCDF file manipulation utilities ncatted and ncks, and two simple steps.
The step-by-step flow starts with two files, a grid file and a data file. 1) Use ncks to copy the grid data from the grid file into the data file. 2) Use ncatted to modify the attributes of variables in the data file to reference the grid data.
Here is the example: We have two files, grid.nc and data.nc. The grid.nc file has our grid data in terms of latitudes and longitudes of points, and the data.nc has our data. The dimensions are the same for the grid and the data. If we did an ncdump of the header of the grid.nc and data.nc file we would expect to see dimensions and variables something like this:
netcdf grid { dimensions: x_point = 100; y_point = 100; variables: lat(x_point, y_point); lat:units = "degree_north"; lon(x_point, y_point); lon:units = "degree_east"; ... netcdf data { dimensions: x_point = 100; y_point = 100; variables: temp(x_point, y_point); temp:units = "Celsius"; ...
What we want to do is copy the lat and lon variables from the grid.nc file into the data.nc file, and make sure that the variables in the data.nc file have a properly defined coordinates attribute.
Step one is to copy the lat and lon variables from grid.nc to data.nc. The utility used to do this is ncks (which stands for NC Kitchen Sink), which has a wide variety of options for working with netCDF files. This is how the ncks command is used.
ncks -v lat,lon -c -h grid.nc data.nc
Let's break that down. The '-v' option defines a list of variables to be operated on. The list of variables are comma-separated, with no spaces. '-c' controls which variables are extracted, in this case the variables in the argument and no other related variables. Leaving '-c' out will copy the variables in the argument as well as any related variables. The '-h' option turns off writing to the history attribute, which if many operations are done can grow to be very large. The last two arguments are the source file (grid.nc) and the destination file (data.nc).
If you do an ncdump of data.nc, this is what you will see:
netcdf data { dimensions: x_point = 100; y_point = 100; variables: temp(x_point, y_point); temp:units = "Celsius"; lat(x_point, y_point); lat:units = "degree_north"; lon(x_point, y_point); lon:units = "degree_east"; ....
Now the grid data is copied to the data.nc file. The next step is to edit the attributes of the variables in the data.nc file that will use the grid. Once this is complete, the data.nc file will contain both the grid data and the necessary variable attributes. The command used is ncatted, and here's how it works.
ncatted -h -a coordinates,temp,o,c,"lon lat" data.nc
The '-h' option again turns off writing to the history attribute. '-a' starts the attribute description. The attribute description is composed of five parts in this order: attribute name, variable name, mode, attribute type, attribute value. For this example:
Attribute name = "coordinates" Variable name = "temp" Mode = "o", which stands for "overwrite", overwriting the named attribute, if it exists. Attribute Type = "c", which denotes the "char" type, since the attribute in this case is a character string. Attribute Value = "lon lat", a character string.
The last argument is the input file. When the command finishes, you will end up with a header that looks like this:
netcdf data { dimensions: x_point = 100; y_point = 100; variables: temp(x_point, y_point); temp:units = "Celsius"; temp:coordinates = "lon lat"; lat(x_point, y_point); lat:units = "degree_north"; lon(x_point, y_point); lon:units = "degree_east"; ....
The new 'coordinates' attribute added to temp will allow it to use the grid data that has been copied into the data.nc file.
File Links and the readlink Command
[ By: Ed Kornkven ]
Linux (or Unix) links provide a mechanism for referring to a file by more than one name. Links come in two varieties, hard links and soft links (aka symbolic links or symlinks).
For more introductory discussion of hard and soft links, I'll refer the interested reader to a couple of links (pun intended):
Functionally, soft links differ from hard links in a couple of ways. First, we can't make hard links to directories
mg57> ln .. hardparent ln: `..': hard link not allowed for directory
Second, we can't make a hard link across file systems, whereas a soft link is permitted. If we try to make a link called "myhome" to our $HOME directory, the soft link will succeed but the hard link will fail:
mg57> ln $HOME myhome ln: `/u1/uaf/kornkven': hard link not allowed for directory mg57> ln -s $HOME myhome mg57> ls -g total 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 staff 16 2008-09-16 12:09 myhome -> /u1/uaf/kornkven/
These functional differences are due to differences in the way the two links are implemented. Hard links are simply alternate names to the file. Along with a pointer to the actual file data, the file system saves information about the file, including a count of the number of links to the file (the original name counts as one). One name is as good as the other and it doesn't matter which name was the original. When one of the names is deleted, the count is decremented. When the count goes to zero, the file contents are irretrievable (there are no more names for it) and the file is therefore "deleted".
A soft link on the other hand, can be thought of as a file which contains the path to the original file (the actual implementation may differ from this simplified description). The important thing is, to access the file, the contents of the link file must be followed, akin the indirect access provided by C or Fortran pointers. Like a C or Fortran pointer, the distinction between the link and the target is important. If a symbolic link is deleted, the original file exists by its original name. If the original file is deleted instead, the symlink is "dangling" -- it still exists but points to nothing.
Let's try out some file link operations. Many operations can operate on symbolic links as if they were the original files -- that is what makes them useful. Look at this example, in which we create a dummy file in a subdirectory of our $WORKDIR and then create some links to it. To create the file, we just arbitrarily redirect the output of an "ls -g" just to give us something to look at.
mg57> ls -g > dummy mg57> ln dummy hard mg57> ln -s dummy soft mg57> ls -g total 0 -rw------- 2 staff 53 2008-09-25 18:12 dummy -rw------- 2 staff 53 2008-09-25 18:12 hard lrwxrwxrwx 1 staff 5 2008-09-25 18:13 soft -> dummy
We see that dummy and hard are both 53-byte files, whereas soft is only five bytes long. If we display the contents of hard we see the same thing as when we look into dummy:
mg57> cat hard total 0 -rw------- 1 staff 0 2008-09-16 11:27 dummy
But in spite of the apparent file size difference, the same is true for soft:
mg57> cat soft total 0 -rw------- 1 staff 0 2008-09-16 11:27 dummy
The Linux "cat" understands the difference between link types and tries to do the "right" thing for soft links by using the link reference directly or indirectly. In the example of "ls" above, the direct reference was used and we saw the name of the target of the symlink. On the other hand, the "cat" command followed the link and displayed the contents of the source file. The default behavior of such commands is often, but not always, what we want when using symbolic links. For those exceptions, many commands offer options that say, "don't (or do) follow the link". For example, if a soft link points to a directory and we do an ls on it, we get an "ls" listing similar to the previous one:
mg57> ln -s .. parent mg57> ls -g parent lrwxrwxrwx 1 staff 2 2008-09-25 18:20 parent -> ../
But what if we want to see the contents of the directory that parent references? For that situation, the "-H" option to "ls" gives us what we want:
mg57> ls -gH parent [... long listing of my $WORKDIR comes out here ...]
We can get the same effect by appending a "/" at the end of the directory name:
mg57> ls -g parent/
One command that does not have an option for changing the way a soft link is handled is "mv". Let's see what happens to the links when we move our original file to the parent directory and then reference it using the links.
mg57> mv dummy .. mg57> ls -g total 4 -rw------- 2 staff 53 2008-09-25 18:12 hard lrwxrwxrwx 1 staff 2 2008-09-25 18:20 parent -> ../ lrwxrwxrwx 1 staff 5 2008-09-25 18:13 soft -> dummy mg57> cat hard total 0 -rw------- 1 staff 0 2008-09-25 18:12 dummy mg57> cat soft cat: soft: No such file or directory
The hard link is still an alias for the file "dummy" even though we moved it and we can still access "dummy" through it. However the soft link is still pointing to a file named dummy in the current directory. Since we moved the target file, "soft" can no longer reference it. Another way to look at it is that the user has to keep symbolic links and their targets consistent, but the OS keeps track of the hard links to a file. If you look at the above listing, the entry for "hard" has a "2" after the permissions. For a hard link, that is the number of links to the file that we mentioned earlier. When that number goes to 0, the file has been deleted -- i.e., there are no more links to it.
Now delete the original and see what happens:
mg57> rm ../dummy mg57> ls -g total 4 -rw------- 1 staff 53 2008-09-25 18:12 hard lrwxrwxrwx 1 staff 2 2008-09-25 18:20 parent -> ../ lrwxrwxrwx 1 staff 5 2008-09-25 18:13 soft -> dummy mg57> cat hard total 0 -rw------- 1 staff 0 2008-09-25 18:12 dummy mg57> rm hard mg57> ls -g total 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 staff 2 2008-09-25 18:20 parent -> ../ lrwxrwxrwx 1 staff 5 2008-09-25 18:13 soft -> dummy
Note that "soft" still points to a file named "dummy", even though it no longer exists. If we were to create a new file "dummy", "soft" would again be valid:
mg57> echo "This is a new dummy file" > dummy mg57> cat soft This is a new dummy file
That behavior can be welcome or not, depending on what one is expecting. The point is, it is up to the user to keep soft links consistent with their source files. But it definitely presents a problem if we really do want to mv the file that a symlink points to, and not the link itself. For example, suppose we create a file in another place, and we have a link to it, and we want to move the file using the link. First, create a new dummy file in $HOME and make a new soft link to it called "soft2":
mg57> echo "One more dummy file" > $HOME/dum2 mg57> ln -s $HOME/dum2 soft2 mg57> cat soft2 One more dummy file mg57> ls -g total 4 -rw------- 1 staff 25 2008-09-25 18:32 dummy lrwxrwxrwx 1 staff 2 2008-09-25 18:20 parent -> ../ lrwxrwxrwx 1 staff 5 2008-09-25 18:13 soft -> dummy lrwxrwxrwx 1 staff 23 2008-09-25 18:46 soft2 -> /u1/uaf/kornkven/dum2
Now try to move it:
mg57> mv soft2 ./dum2 mg57> ls -g total 4 -rw------- 1 staff 25 2008-09-25 18:32 dummy lrwxrwxrwx 1 staff 23 2008-09-25 18:46 dum2 -> /u1/uaf/kornkven/dum2 lrwxrwxrwx 1 staff 2 2008-09-25 18:20 parent -> ../ lrwxrwxrwx 1 staff 5 2008-09-25 18:13 soft -> dummy
The "mv" didn't work! All "mv" does to a symlink is rename it. What we need is the "readlink" command which returns the name of the file that a symlink points to, for example:
mg57> readlink dum2 /u1/uaf/kornkven/dum2
Now use the name returned by "readlink" as the source file in our "mv" command:
mg57> mv `readlink dum2` ./dum2 mg57> ls -g total 4 -rw------- 1 staff 25 2008-09-25 18:32 dummy -rw------- 1 staff 20 2008-09-25 18:45 dum2 lrwxrwxrwx 1 staff 2 2008-09-25 18:20 parent -> ../ lrwxrwxrwx 1 staff 5 2008-09-25 18:13 soft -> dummy mg57> cat dum2 One more dummy file
Voila! We moved the file the symlink points to, not the symlink itself.
Quick-Tip Q & A
A:[[ My advisor just asked me to run a hundred different simulations. [[ Is there an easy way to generate a PBS script for each of the input [[ files he gave me? If it helps, the input file is passed on the [[ command line to the program. [[ [[ e.g. [[ ./a.out input000.nc [[ [[ And each input file is in a separate directory. [[ [[ input001/input001.nc [[ input002/input002.nc [[ ... [[ input100/input100.nc [[ [[ So how do I do make this happen without wearing out my keyboard? # # Thanks to Jed Brown for sharing the following bash solution which # puts all of the simulations in a single file. # A quick and dirty bash solution: $ for n in {1..100}; do \ printf './a.out input%03d/input%03d.nc\n' $n $n; done > joblist # # Ryan Czerwiec shared this solution which uses vi to edit the individual # batch files. # This is a straightforward and fairly simple problem to solve with a great variety of methods. I can see quick solutions with awk, sed, and the like, but I thought I'd submit a more oddball approach that can prove quite useful sometimes. I assume: parent directory contains a.out and a template batch file for case 000 (I'm calling it batchfile once the number is truncated), file naming convention always pads with zeroes as in the example file names given. #!/bin/csh -f echo >! temp.vi set istart = $1 set iend = $2 set idigit = `printf $iend wc -c` @ index = $istart + 1 set istart = `printf "%${idigit}s" $istart tr " " "0"` while ( $index <= $iend ) @ idum = $index + -1 set idum = `printf "%${idigit}s" $idum tr " " "0"` set idum2 = `printf "%${idigit}s" $index tr " " "0"` echo :1,\$ s/input${idum}/input${idum2}/g >>! temp.vi echo :w\! input${idum2}/batchfile${idum2} >>! temp.vi @ index++ end echo :q\! >>! temp.vi vi input${istart}/batchfile${istart} < temp.vi \rm temp.vi exit This script will take two arguments, the start (template file) and end numbers, so "./script.csh 0 100" in this case. # # Here's a solution from the editor which uses a template PBS file and sed # to build a PBS script for each input file. # This solution uses sed to replace the string "INPUT_FILE" in a template file with the input filename in a directory. This technique builds a PBS script for each input file so you can run the jobs independently. mg56 % cat template.pbs #!/bin/bash #PBS -l walltime=8:00:00 #PBS -j oe #PBS -q standard cd $PBS_O_WORKDIR ./a.out INPUT_FILE mg56 % for d in *; do if [ -d $d ]; then cd $d; f=$d.nc; \ cat ../template.pbs sed -e "s/INPUT_FILE/$f/" > $d.pbs; cd ..; fi; done Q: I am running on a multicore Opteron processor. I need to know which one of the processor cores is running my program. How can I print from my program which core is executing it?

Summit Up 10-7-12: Brushing the dust off our winter gear
October 7, 2012
Good morning and welcome to Summit Up, the world's only daily column that's feeling the frost from Old Man Winter.
Man was Saturday cold! We woke up and promptly scurried to the bathroom to put on our long johns and furry hat (which, by the way, remained on all doggone day).
Seems to us that winter is more of a close neighbor and summer is an old friend that left long ago. With all this chilly weather we just gotta say: Bring on the snow, we're ready!
Just out of excitement, you see the cooler weather has this effect that when we're shivering we are more inclined to go break our skis out of storage to brush off the dust and wax up those bad boys!
Even though we're still a month away from most of the opening days, we're definitely establishing our skis and boards as regular living room guests. Our boots are now regular main hall residents. Our hats are now permanent fixtures upon our heads. Our gloves are happy to be back in our glove box on those chilly drives to the Summit Up World Headquarters. And our waterproof pants strewn all across the floor too, are now a frequent sight.
We, the winter people residents of Summit County keep all that's snow related close to our hearts. Why?
Perhaps it's the prolonging chill that makes us want to gather in masses. Maybe it's the red noses on the ones we love (or the ones we don't so we can laugh at them!). Or maybe it's the excuse to drink constantly and go out in Breckenridge to people-watch the tourists who think they are so cool outfitted in their fleece and Patagonia puffs.
Whatever it is, there's a certain buzz that's running rapid through town this time of year as frosty mornings are slowly becoming more frequent and as local ski areas make their opening day countdowns well known.
That buzz is special to Summit County and those who live here during "mud season," "shoulder season," otherwise known (to normal people) as "off season."
As we wait for the tourist to come pouring in, we get an exclusive sneak preview to the snowy peaks in October. It's special and really pretty freaking cool to watch the peaks accumulate the snow.
Ode to all that's snow:
Here it's always snowing
In Summit, we're all knowing!
Watch those coming from afar
To fund our tabs down at the bar
Dusting off our winter gear
Ski season is so near!!
Guess we better stock the beer …
Ski bums, locals and tourists too
Come to paradise – here's your cue.
Going to grab our jacket. We out.

text: I work at a toy store and today we had a customer come in and asked us our opinion of this doll. On the one hand, I kind of think it's unnecessary because any kid that wants to pretend breast feed doesn't need a special doll to do it. And while it is sexualizing girls (in the truest sense of the word) I'm not convinced that having girls be aware of the capabilities of their adult bodies is really a bad thing. Barbies and Bratz bother me a whole lot more. I was curious what other people thought from a variety of backgrounds.

I am thinking in taking a TEFL course in Cusco. At this point, I am doubting between Maximo Nivel and Ebc, but I don´t like the fact that I have to pay so much in advanced. Besides, I am not native speaker, as you can guess, and they send me a mail telling me if I pay I am in; so I don´t know if later they won´t allow me to enroll, or when they will test my level of english.
In anyway, my question is if someone can advise me about in which course should I enroll.

Draper •
When a wildfire in a big swatch of northern Utah starts, a small staff of 10 workers from the State of Utah, U.S. Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management quickly go to work in their new state-of-the-art facility near the Point of the Mountain.
"As soon as we get an initial report of a fire, we try to establish either a geographical location for the fire or the legal township for the fire," said Sean Lodge, assistant center manager for the Northern Utah Interagency Fire Center. "We have pre-identified responses based on fire danger for that particular area for that particular day and a set number of resources that go to that fire."
At first glance, the interior of the $3 million facility that opened March 30 looks like something out of a CSI television show. There are three giant projection screens in the large room, where workers study computers.
The day I visited was quiet, with no fires burning. That said, by late July, dispatchers working at this center had already dispatched 260 fires including the huge 5,507-acre Dump Fire near Saratoga Springs and a fire in Alpine the dispatchers could see looking out their window.
The reality is that modern firefighting operations resemble a military campaign. There is even much acronym-filled jargon describing maps, equipment and computer programs that almost seems like a foreign tongue to someone not versed in the language of fire.
This is one of five Utah dispatch centers. Their purpose is to provide support and services to firefighters in the field to help extinguish fires and keep them at the smallest size at the lowest cost. They are part of several national geographic areas. Each of those areas has a geographical coordination center. The national coordination center is in Boise, Idaho.
Dispatchers in each small center have certain local resources, including people and firefighting equipment that they can use. If the fire meets certain standards, especially those that threaten homes and buildings, dispatchers can request additional firefighting resources from their geographic area. If those resources run out, they request help from Boise, often involving the use of tanker planes and helicopters.
One of the big screens on the wall of the facility tracks all of the federally contracted aircraft, showing dispatchers their exact location, their flight altitude and their speed. There is a radio frequency management board that helps separate radio frequencies so firefighters battling a fire in one area don't get confused with orders or requests from a nearby fire. The third board tracks available resources and tells dispatchers where all equipment that runs on wheels is located.
Three of the 10 employees are full time while the other seven are "temporary permanent," which means they are furloughed when fire danger decreases. Normal hours are 7:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. but the center is staffed 24 hours when a fire is active and one worker is on-call at all hours.
In an era of federal and state government conflict, fire centers such as this one combine workers from the state as well as two different federal agencies.
Building the new LEED certified facility, for example, occurred because the BLM had money budgeted, the state had a piece of property it could provide near the Utah State Prison and the Forest Service saw the need and participated as well.
When a big wildfire hits Utah, threatening homes, animals and livelihoods, the response follows a prepared plan based on years of experience designed to limit property losses, save lives and maximize resources while saving as much money as possible.
This year in Utah, and throughout the West, such unsung centers and agencies have been facing huge tests.

My buddy and I hit our normal opening day spot today, we managed three mallards apeice and he also got a hen hoodie. We didn't get many shooting ops so we did the best we could. Shocked becuase yesterday there were about 100 birds in the area.
We were amazed at the amount of gun shots we heard, normally we don't hear anyone else or maybe one group, but we counted five different groups around the area. There were easily over 75 shots this morning, very unheard of for around here.
We must've said F duck dynasty 10 times each.
We then head to spot number two and as we are unloading a truck pulls up and sees us in camo and sees our game strap. They say "oh looks like you got some geese and mergansers there" We look at each other then say no these are mallards.
So then they start to ask if we shot them at spot two, but we said no we got them this morning.
Ya'll won't believe what they say next...they say " where did you get them?" Again my buddy and I look at each other, smile, and tell them of a river that everyone around here knows. Then they go "where exactly on the river?" We make up a spot and they are like ohh yeah we know where that is. Lol, did they really have the nerve to ask where we got them? And did they expect us to tell them the truth?
They left and we shot a few woodies, ended the day with 10 total.
F duck dynasty.

NHIAA Boys' Soccer: Bedford has weapons
The Bulldogs will field newcomers, as well as two key players who missed last season to injury, Dan Smushkin and Matt Martin. On Smushkin: 'He's looking great,' said Pepper. 'He's got his energy. I think being out has made him even more hungry. I think he's one of the best midfielders in the state and he just wants to enjoy every minute.''And Matt Martin is back,' said Pepper. 'He's another impact player who brings more physicality to the team,' said Pepper. 'Hopefully they'll be ready Friday against (Manchester) Central.'
Bedford, eliminated from the Division I tournament in the first round last fall, will have several new faces. Talented freshman Rich DiMarco and a European import, Magnus Dagler, a Danish exchange student, will play for the Bulldogs this year.On Sunday, two other DIvision I teams, Salem and Exeter faced off in an early match. The Blue Hawks had a solid year in 2013 at 13-5 but coach Jim Tufts says competition will be tougher this year.
'There are an awful lot of good teams in our division. We will see how it goes,' said Tufts. 'Today was a classroom day. We're better than we were at 9 o'clock.'Salem coach Tony Karibian hopes his Blue Devil squad can be more consistent this year. 'We have some players last year who are back a little older and wiser,' said Karibian. 'Hopefully that will all pan out for us but we have work to do.'
Division II Goffstown, which also participated on Sunday, has former head coach Randy Lovering back with an experienced, senior-laden team. 'Our goal is to have two playoff games at home. Our goal is to be a top-four team,' said Lovering. 'Once we're there, anything can happen.'

|Topic Review (Newest First)
make sure the mechanical and vacuum advance is adjustable on the distributor you buy.
A thick line of RTV as the rear and front seals is best for a chevy.
so after some more tinkering and such, we were able to get some more power out it, with more timing and a new dizzy, then i kept thinking about the vacuum being so low and started searching for leaks...checked the usual places capped of stuff and such....as it turns out, all four corners of the intake are leaking, where they meet the heads, and im pretty sure its because we used the front and rear gaskets, wich i knew better, but hopefully the intake isnt warped now, but back to disassembling it and hopefully this will fix the issue,
so i figure this is causing the choking out issue and it running better with more and more advanced timing thrown in it to help burn the lean mixture? \ it seems to be sucking air into the front and rear intake runners, but the middle ones look pretty sealed off so who knows, i feel like an idiot but i swear i checked that the last time on the vacuum leak search, but crap happens... so we will see where this goes, hopefully hopefully this will fix this bad boy. by the way klm performance on ebay sells a bad *** hei aluminum dizzy for around 35 bucks, the best i can figure is that its a pro comp unit, judging by the part number, just figured i would pass that along if anyone needs a cheap replacement, solid unit too, complete from gear to coil. anyways thanks for you guys help and ill keep you posted on the results when this is fixed!
You need vacuum advance if you want to get good/better gas mileage. I would say the highway mileage will drop by 2 or 3 and city by 1 mpg without the vacuum advance. (maybe more).
I use manifold vacuum on my vacuum advance. I like a bunch of timing at idle so I can run a very lean idle mixture (a lot less smelly).
At wide open throttle (wot) vacuum advance has no effect. so if you plan to drag race everywhere you go, then you don't need vacuum advance.
revving up the engine in the driveway is not a load on the engine so it is not a good way to test the advance system.
when the vacuum is high it means there is not load on the engine so it adds more timing. If the vacuum is low (under 8-9 inhg), it means there is a load on the engine so it takes the extra timing out.
Chevy vacuum advance canisters typically start to add timing at 8 inhg and are fully engaged by 9 inhg.
Hmm yea I've read a bunnch about making limiter plates for the, just haven't thought about making one, if I can get a smooth. Timing curve coming in by 3k and getting a total timing of 36 all without the vac advance, wil there still be a need for the vac advance? I know I read the link provided earlier about advance 101 but what I gather was that aslong as the curve is smooth and timing is all in by 3 to 3.5k it doesn't matter what combination of vacuum and mechanical advance you use, as long as the end result is the same, or did I just get that all wrong lol
Also when the vac guage is.hooke to the manifold vac port on the carb for testing, when throttle increases vac increases as well from the 15 or so to almost 25, isn't vacuum suppose to drop at higher rpms? If you blip the throttle it goes to zero then recovers, I'm not sure how much valve overlap is with this cam as I understand that has an affect on the vacuum as well, all things considered I feel the cam is relatively mild/small compared to stock, so I didn't figure it would change the vacuum to much?
When we get a chance we will play some more with the dizzy and see if we can get that extra 2 or so degrees total timing out of it without the vac advance hooked up. I appologize I kinda feel like I'm getting to the point of beating a dead horse here, or a dead bowtie, lol bad joke, anyways thanks for the advice guys, much appreciated!
|What he said. lol I can't really argue with his advice either.
you can make a little stopper plate that will fit in the distributor to reduce the amount from the vacuum advance.
A simple plate bolted to the vacuum advance to reduce the amount of travel in the slot.
a trial and error deal, but reducing the amount of vacuum advance by 1/2 would be a good start.
I would use a little more timing, try 36 total.
are you running a PCV valve? if you are, smoke/steam out of the valve cover is not good. if you aren't, it's normal.
60° with vac. advance is normal.. that's what it does. it adds even more timing ontop of your 'total'
60 sounds a touch high, but you have to run it and see. that advance is only there when you are 'cruising' and maintaining a fairly high intake vacuum. the extra timing lowers engine temps, improves emissions, and improves throttle response when you stab it.
I don't know how to tune and eddelbrock carb, but it sounds like you really need the secondaries to open much later. This is a common mistake people make with qjets, the assumption is made that if the secondaries open sooner, you get power sooner.. but if they open TOO soon, you get that nasty bog until the engine is actually ready for that extra air.
I did a lot of track tuning on my holley and I found that since I'm using a fairly small carb (650cfm) I could have the secondaries come in rather quickly with a light spring. when I borrowed a 750, I found I needed a much heavier to spring because it was too much air too soon..
kc, im leaning more towards the carb being the issue too, we put the new hei dizzy in today, getting more power, fixed on plug wire that was totally dead, and it managed to get sideways today, but totally bogged out and popped throught the carb the more you push the throttle, but once the car got up to speed and you can open the secondaries, it came back to life a little bit, so im thinking maybe its flooding out, but the wires are still and issue, and im not postive theres not a vacuum leak that we can find either,
also with the new dizzy, we cant run the vac advance or it pulls all the way up to 60* thats the end of the marks on the timing tape, but without the vac advance, the timing curve is smooth and steady, and sitting at about 14 initial and tops out at 34 total at around 3500 give or take, it doesnt jump around like the old distributor, next we have a fuel pressure guage to install and then the new wires, maybe the pressure will indicate something, if not then its either the carb loading up, or a vac leak, by the way will running the vac hose to the pcv valve on the drivers side valve cover and using a breather filter on the oposite valve cover affect vacuum?
and the valves are adjusted about a half turn past zero lash, and recheck when running, we backed them off till they clicked and adjusted accordingly to half turn, in quarter turn increments, tighten a quarter, let lifter pump back up then tighten another quarter, so that should be ok. and sometimes when its running some smoke/steam stuff is coming out of the breather on the valve cover, just because im not use to carb motors, is that normal?
thank you kc and everyone else for you help so far, we really appreciated, slowly but surely we are coming along, if i get some spare time, ill try to take a video of what its doing and put it up for you guys to take a look at maybe,
I'm willing to point the finger at that edelbrock carb.. Edelbrock makes great intakes.. but their carbs suck ***. i've heard similar complaints from a lot of edelbrock carb owners.
something else to consider is your valve lash.. how did you set it?
if the valves are lashed too tight and the lifters are holding the valves open, that will do the same thing.. I made this mistake once.. the engine couldn't even make enough power to climb the trailer ramps.. but it sure idled nice!
thanks tbucket, we checked the battery wire to the dist, it seemed to stay at a constant 12.3?? something volts all the time, and i dont belive the exhaust is plugged with anything, but i suppose its possible, no cats just long tubes into chambered mufflers, but i suppose something could have climbed in and died haha, and i have no idea why when i plug up the vac advance it climbs so high in advance, but the good thing is, hopefully, we have a new hei distributor to put in, in the morning...and i should have bought the cheapy mister gasket fuel pressure guage adapter today at advance but didnt do it, we will probably have to go there in the morning anyways so may have to pick it up, but i appreciate the help and ill let you know how the new distributor works out, it needs one anyways.
A few things to check,
Have you looked at the exhaust to be sure there are no restrictions. This
can kill power.
Check the fuel pressure with a gauge
You say the vacuum advance brought it from 17* to 50* at idle, this is not
I would expect to see more vacuum at idle with that setup, a leak or a
plugged exhaust or late timing will cause low vacuum readings.
Check the voltage at the HEI, it should be battery voltage. That car
originally had a resistor wire feeding the coil and the running voltage would
only be 9-10 volts. This will reak havoc on an HEI.
heck yea man thanks for the advice, your stuff sounds like a bummer man, especially since you have started throwing parts at it, although the intake gaskets sounds like a good fix , the low compression #8 cylinder on your motor, my buddies, old time chebby heads, said when you do a compression test and one cylinder or adjacent cylinders come up lower than the others to squirt some oil into the plug hole and then see if it comes back up to pressure, if it does its ok, if it doesnt then theres something else the matter, i dunno if i remembered that right but you might give that a shot, but you can only trust shade tree stuff to a certain degree haha, i take it you did check the #8 intake valve to see if it was hanging too, i know a PIA to check but maybe you have an exhaust valve not closing all the way on the #8 but i suppose you would have to pull of the headers or manifold and contort yourself to look in the exhaust port with the ole maglite to see about that one, this crap is enough to drive you crazy.
, i put a glass fuel filter on it this after noon to see what the fuel is like and its pretty clear and is filling the tube, didnt break down for a fuel pressure guage yet though, however i was playing the the linkage to the accelerator pump, and had it in the last hole towards the bottom on the arm towards the engine block, and it made things way worse, backfiring through the carb at the slightist throttle play and ran even worse, so i moved it all the way to the first hole closest to the carb and it ran alot better, actually was able to break a tire loose a little bit, but you still cant use the throttle more than about 1/8 or 1/4 or it starts to choke out, so either to much or little fuel, or its still the ignition, wich he ordered a new dizzy so we are going to put that in in the morning, and replace this wonder plug wires that are on it currently, they are in sad shape, especially the number 5 wire, anyways, i appreiate your input, and hopefully we both can fix our issues and we can swap stories about makingn the pavement scream!
take it easy,
you sound like what I am going through. However mine has a few other issues that I have taken care of with the same results. i replaced my intake gaskets since they were rotted. i have a distinct misfire on my #6 cylinder. it backfire and pops through the carb. I put a brand new carb on and a Accel HEI Dizzy. i took the intake off adn found the intake vavle on #6 doesnt close all the way and allowing everything to come through the intake. A compression tast was run on it a few years back and it was steady with the others at 120. The #8 was about 90. So it is trickling through the head it seems. So I am in the same boat you and your friend are in right now.
As for plugs. i am running Accel shorty plugs on my 350. part #8199. they run about $30 for all 8. U-grooved. I have gone through a ton of plugs only to have them either foul out or the wires burn up from the headers. I also run accel 8mm HEI wires. I buy the custom set so you can run them how you want. You get great spark if you run them together. Hopefully that helps a little
thanks 454 thats a good read, i printed it out and kept it for reference, im going to try and work on this thing today at some point, its windy as crap here today so its not going to be fun, ill let you know how it turns out, do you have any recomendations for plug wires for an hei system? also have you used short plugs to avoid spark plug boot burning on long tube headers?
thanks again

I find it a little ironic that you called me arrogant for correcting grammar, when you are being rather arrogant yourself about making assumptions about a relationship based on the one item you know about it. I'm not sure why this bothers you so much considering it was something that we were both OK with in the relationship at the time.

School Vows to Fight For Nativity
The superintendent of a public school district in Arkansas said it's time for Christians to take a stand and that's why he's decided to reinstate a Nativity scene – in spite of possible legal action.
"Enough is enough," said Jerry Noble, superintendent of the Green County Tech school district. "It's His birthday. We celebrate Jesus' birthday. One person should not be offended by that. We don't leave it up all year. We're not promoting religion. It's not an effort to convert anybody."
Noble told Fox News & Commentary the controversy surrounds a Nativity scene on a bulletin board at Green County Tech Primary School. The bulletin board also included the words, "Happy Birthday, Jesus."
Noble said they had received some complaints about the decorations and after consulting with an attorney, he decided to remove the Nativity.
"My personal belief is that we should fight this sort of thing, but I didn't want to put the school district at risk," he said. "I could not take it upon myself to get the school in a legal entanglement over separation of church and state because we would have to use tax dollars to fight it and that's not my job to do that."
But his decision sparked a massive outcry in the community – and one organization offered to cover any legal costs the school system might incur over a lawsuit. That offer helped change the superintendent's mind.
"To be honest with you, we offended a lot more people by taking it down than leaving it up," Noble said. "So we put it back up."
Noble, who is a Christian, said he doesn't understand why anyone would be offended by the Nativity.
"Personally, I'm a Christian and if I'm going to offend somebody, I'd rather offend the non-believer – if it's legal to do so," he said.
The American Civil Liberties Union of Arkansas said told radio station KUAR that the school district must obey the Constitution.
"To say that if you have to offend somebody you'd rather offend those in the minority, well that's just what the Constitution and the First Amendment are all about – not offending the minority, standing up for everybody's right to practice their religion whether there is one person in your town or a thousand," ACLU Director Rita Sklar told KUAR. "That the superintendent and perhaps others don't have respect for that, I think is very sad."
The Nativity scene was erected by Kay Williams, a counselor at the primary school. She's been doing it for more than 20 years without any hint of controversy.
"We do live in the Bible Belt," Williams told the Paragould Daily Press. "One thing that really disturbed most of [the supporters] was we hear about things like this all the time in other parts of the country. But, this is kind of a first for the Bible Belt, here in Arkansas."
That, Williams told the newspaper, is why they decided to take a stand.
"I think the people realized [this issue] is here and we better take a stand," she told the newspaper.
Noble said the community support and the offer for free legal services led to his decision to allow the Nativity back into the primary school.
"The Christians in America have been silent for too long," Noble said. "That's why I struggled with it in the beginning."

|If you are careful you can do this and not have to paint the outer quarter first you need the part in hand then make sure they are the same then if you look in the door jamb you can see the welds where the cage bolt is welded in take a 3/8 drill bit in a drill and drill the welds do not drill all the way through then take a hammer and a chisel and cut the rest apart from inside the quarter then fit the new one and weld through the old weld holes in the door jamb
Looks like that would be the piece you need..I would get it in hand before doing any cutting as you may be able to see where to cut with minimal repair needed..hope you have good welding skills...
Good luck
Camaro Door Striker Reinforcement Panel
I found a rot spot on my 1979 camaro after thoroughly going over it. I took out the vent louvers in the door jams. Then I stuck my arm down in to the inside of the quarter panel and I pressed on the back of the door jam (where the door striker is bolted on, except down near the bottom). This piece is rotted out, but it doesn't come through the front (theres two panels). Is this number 34 on this page http://www.nastyz28.com/tech/e-78smetal.html or is this the quarter panel? To me, it seems like the reinforcement panel goes behind the quarter panel, not in front like the image is showing. What are my options for repairing this? Also is this part available? I can't seem to find it. It's a bummer that I have to cut perfectly good quarter panels to fix this.

Okay, so I'm spending every spare moment to finish my Jango. So I'm a couple years behind everyone, though I started in winter of 2003, slowly collecting, saving money. Now that I'm about finally done, I can't help but feel a little disappointed and plain tired. I still have the love, but the fatigue is setting in. Did anyone else experience this?
I'm also hurrying to modify my TK and my son's TK into TD's, my son will be wearing his to C3, and also I've yet to do the final touches on Greedo. I can say that I think this Greedo is just as good if not better than the movie version. My wife spent a lot of hours designing and sewing the jumpsuit with white stripes and also the orange vest.
Anyway, I just had to vent. Just have a couple more things to collect/build for Jango and I almost have all the armor done. I sewed all the velcro to the vest today. I'm no expert but I think I did okay. Guess I'll let you all judge in a couple of weeks when it's done.

Pros and cons of breeding
I saw this paragraph posted on a different breed forum and I thought it was just perfect, so I thought I would share. It's in response to people who want to breed their dogs for no real valid reason:
"Pros to breeding - Continuing a proven line of qualities, traits and characteristics of an animal for an intended purpose, while knowing the complete disposition and attribution of the offspring.
Cons to breeding - 1) He or she's the best dog you've ever had.
This is the number one reason people give for breeding their dog.
And I want you to know that I believe you. I think he or she probably IS the best dog on earth. And I'm thrilled, as a dog lover, that you feel that way.
However, EVERYONE feels that way, about at least one of their dogs and possibly several. And you would (I hope) feel that way if your dog had come from a rescue or a shelter. Being good, even being great, is just what dogs DO. Dog souls are incredibly attuned to human souls, and we bond with them in a wonderful way that allows us to feel without a hint of self-deception that this is the BEST dog in the entire world.
It's an incredibly BAD reason to breed, though.
Every dog you see walking down the shelter row is the best dog in the world too. What does your dog offer that those dogs do not? Is she more loving, more loyal, more empathetic? No, because those are just part of being dog. Is she cuter? Maybe, but is she really so cute that you want somebody to buy one of her puppies instead of rescuing a dog?
The next thing people usually say is "I want just one puppy from her because she's so wonderful."
I understand this one too. The lives of dogs are so tragically short compared to ours; it's normal to look at your beloved pet and start ticking down the years until she's not there anymore. You wake up and all of a sudden he's four, or five, or six, and his life is half over. The ticket to his immortality seems to be to get that one precious son or daughter from him.
I feel the same way. I can't stand thinking about my dogs not being here. The ones that have died have taken an enormous piece of me with them. But here's the absolute, unvarnished truth:
You will not get your dog in his or her son or daughter.
You are, in fact, far MORE likely to get a dog that you actively despise. I am not kidding about this. You won't get your dog back any more than one of your kids "is" your husband or wife. There are brief moments where you think "Wow, Josh looked just like his dad when he did that," but they are brief and they are much overshadowed by all the ways in which Josh is like Josh, not like either of his parents.
I have had the opportunity to keep puppies from each of the dogs I loved the most. So far, Clue's daughter is the ONLY ONE I feel even an ounce of real affection for. Seriously. I tried to keep a total of three daughters of my absolute heart dog of all heart dogs, Lucy, and I couldn't stand them. We had no connection, no heart-to-heart communication. I knew I'd done the right thing when I placed them and their new homes said "She's the best dog on earth." Clue's daughter Juno I like an enormous amount, but I like her for who SHE is, not because she has any real resemblance to her mom. In fact, she's not very much like her mom at all.
2) Your friends all want a puppy.
No they don't.
Yes, I know they JUST told you how much they want a puppy. They may be on the couch beside you right now, and say "Of course I want one of Peekie-LumLum's puppies!"
It is a lie.
At some point in my dog-breeding life, I have had every single person I know say "Oh, please let us know when you have a litter!" or "I want one just like her; she's wonderful" or "Wow, can I please have one of your puppies?"
You know how many of my friends actually purchased one of my dogs? NONE.
Not a single friend has ever purchased a puppy from me; I have given dogs to a couple of them but only under very special circumstances where I went after THEM. NO sales, not even any inquiries about discounts or free puppies. ZIP.
Friends who "want puppies" disappear. They always do. When the time comes, it's not the right timing or they're moving or they just started a new relationship or they're having a baby or one of a million other things.
I have watched many, many times as people have bred their dogs because all their friends want one. And EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. they're left with homeless puppies, huge vet bills, and are asking about whether a rescue organization will take the puppies. This is WITHOUT EXCEPTION.
Do not, do not, do NOT count on friends, family, neighbors, or acquaintances taking or buying your puppies; it is not only an invalid reason for breeding, it's probably the worst of all.
3) She's from a great bloodline.
So are most of the pet-quality (non-breeding-quality) dogs that we show breeders produce.
We might breed the number-one dog in the nation to the number-one bitch in the nation and the majority of the puppies will NOT be worth breeding. Saying that a dog is from a great bloodline is like saying "My parents are both attractive." Sure they are, but that doesn't mean that all their kids are going to be as attractive as they are. You're likely to have a sister who is much better-looking than you are, and you may be much more attractive than another member of your sibling group. Genes do not always combine fortuitously.
There are hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of dogs out there with not just great pedigrees but superlative ones. "Great bloodline" is NOT a brag or anything that shows that your dog outqualifies any other.
4) He's a male.
It takes two to tango. However, the vast majority of males, even wonderful show dogs, will never reproduce. And those that do are ALWAYS sought out BY THE BITCH OWNER. Aside from a tasteful ad in the breed magazine, if you own a boy you are not EVER going to be in the position of soliciting mates for him. It is considered to be the ultimate sign of a poor breeder.
If you own a boy, you should count on NEVER breeding him, even if you have shown and finished him, so that it's a nice surprise if anyone ever approaches you. If he's NOT beautifully bred and a champion, nobody is EVER going to show up looking to use him. You'll be one of those douchebags posting on Craigslist or Kijiji about how your Maltese Stewie makes great puppies and for $250 or pick of the litter he'll get your dog pregnant. DO NOT BE THAT DOUCHEBAG.
5) I want to make a little money.
I have talked about this every which way from Sunday, and every time I KNOW there are people saying "Whatever; she's just trying to kill off the competition. I can do math too; five puppies at a thousand bucks a piece cannot POSSIBLY mean you do not make a profit!"
Here's the truth: I do not perceive you as competition. We are in desperate need of more good breeders. If you actually want to be a good breeder, I will bend over backwards to help you and I will cheer you on every step of the way.
I used to think the same way. There was no possible way that you could not make money on dogs when the purchase prices were so high. And then I actually bred a litter.
I can spell out the numbers, but they'll quickly become outdated. So here's the way it works in concrete terms:
- The stud fee will be one puppy's purchase price.
- The cost to get the dog pregnant will be another puppy's purchase price.
- You must reserve (have in cash or a credit card) the full purchase price of another puppy in case your bitch needs a c-section.
- It will cost you between two and three puppies' prices to raise the litter and get them out the door at eight to ten weeks.
I have found this to be incredibly consistent across the litters I have bred. Between five and six puppies' purchase prices are consumed between conception and ten weeks. So unless you have more than six puppies, you are immediately in the hole.
When you add up the amount you spend to pay for the normal care and upkeep of the bitch, which I've found to be between $500 and $1000 per year (and don't forget your other dogs, who are also costing you money to feed and care for), the cost to show her to a championship (count on between $2000 and $15000, and no I am not exaggerating even a tiny bit), the years when she will not produce anything and will not make any money for you, and the inevitable disasters that will cost you thousands in vet bills, you can see that puppies are a drop in the bucket.
It is ALWAYS cheaper to buy a puppy than breed it. ALWAYS. It is ALWAYS cheaper to pay a stud fee than keep your own boys. It is ALWAYS cheaper to spay a dog than breed her. There are simply no exceptions to this rule as long as you are taking the care of the bitch and the puppies that you should be.
If your reasons for breeding have nothing to do with the above five, then you're ready to talk about the legitimate reasons to breed. I'd love to see more people becoming good breeders, and I mean that with every fiber of my being. I'll talk about some of the reasons I personally think are legitimate, and look for your opinions too."

If only ....
Shown below, is an actual letter that was sent to a bank by an 86 year old woman.
The bank manager thought it amusing enough to have it published in the Times.
Dear Sir:
I am writing to thank you for bouncing my cheque with which I endeavoured to pay my plumber last month.
By my calculations, three nanoseconds must have elapsed between his presenting the cheque and the arrival in my account of the funds needed to honour it..
I refer, of course, to the automatic monthly deposit of my entire pension, an arrangement which, I admit, has been in place for only eight years.
You are to be commended for seizing that brief window of opportunity, and also for debiting my account £30 by way of penalty for the inconvenience caused to your bank.
My thankfulness springs from the manner in which this incident has caused me to rethink my errant financial ways. I noticed that whereas I personally answer your telephone calls and letters, --- when I try to contact you, I am confronted by the impersonal, overcharging, pre-recorded, faceless entity which your bank has become.
From now on, I, like you, choose only to deal with a flesh-and-blood person.
My mortgage and loan repayments will therefore and hereafter no longer be automatic, but will arrive at your bank, by cheque, addressed personally and confidentially to an employee at your bank whom you must nominate.
Be aware that it is an OFFENCE under the Postal Act for any other person to open such an envelope.
Please find attached an Application Contact which I require your chosen employee to complete.
I am sorry it runs to eight pages, but in order that I know as much about him or her as your bank knows about me, there is no alternative.
Please note that all copies of his or her medical history must be countersigned by a Notary Public figure, and the mandatory details of his/her financial situation (income, debts, assets and liabilities) must be accompanied by documented proof.
In due course, at MY convenience, I will issue your employee with a PIN number which he/she must quote in dealings with me.
I regret that it cannot be shorter than 28 digits but, again, I have modelled it on the number of button presses required of me to access my account balance on your phone bank service.
As they say, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
Let me level the playing field even further.
When you call me, press buttons as follows:
#1. To make an appointment to see me
#2. To query a missing payment.
#3. To transfer the call to my living room in case I am there.
#4 To transfer the call to my bedroom in case I am sleeping.
#5. To transfer the call to my toilet in case I am attending to nature.
#6. To transfer the call to my mobile phone if I am not at home.
#7. To leave a message on my computer, a password to access my computer is required.
Password will be communicated to you at a later date to that Authorized Contact mentioned earlier.
#8. To return to the main menu and to listen to options 1 to 9
#9. To make a general complaint or inquiry.
The contact will then be put on hold, pending the attention of my automated answering service.
While this may, on occasion, involve a lengthy wait, uplifting music will play for the duration of the call.
Regrettably, but again following your example, I must also levy an establishment fee to cover the setting up of this new arrangement.
May I wish you a happy, if ever so slightly less prosperous New Year?
Your Humble Client
And remember:
Don't make old people mad. We don't like being old in the first place, so it doesn't take much to piss us off.
I swear, by my life and my love of it, that I will never live for the sake of another man, nor ask another man to live for mine. - Ayn Rand
If only ....
"A great civilization is not conquered from without until it has destroyed itself from within.", Will Durant
"All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.", Edmund Burke
If I could only meet this woman...I would give her such a hug and kiss on the mouth!!!
Not sure if it is true, or if it had any tangible effect. But Wow!
You Go Girl!!!!
Imagine whirled peas
Peace, Love, And Superior Firepower
XOXOXO's here too. I just love smart ass's!!!!! But unfortunatly it's very close to the truth with banks and others.

Joe Rogan believes Ronda Rousey would defeat Floyd Mayweather inside the UFC Octagon if the two fought tomorrow.
This guy is probably the biggest Rousey nut hugger in existence. He is like a teenage boy stuck in friendszone.
He clearly smokes to much weid.
I am a big fan of the TV show Yukon Men (No Homo) , which got me thinking, I think a Porcupine could easily beat Rousey.. any others ?
