a place for zinesters - writers and readers

James N. Dawson said:[ ]There's only so much time in a day, and only so much of that to have to read. I get most of my dozens, maybe hundereds of paperbacks and magazines for 10 cents a piece, sometimes free. (I favor the horror genre, but sometimes read others.) Among those, some are so bad, mediocre or boring, I set them aside. Most are okay and relieve a little boredom. A few are quite good. Even fewer are absolute masterpieces, but they don't come along often. That's mass market paperbacks. Even some of my favorite authors, short story writers, deliver mostly duds. You can't expect consistent genius all the time.
I'm baffled why discussion of activism for a cause provokes comment on content. I mean, no one said a thing about expecting genius all the time. ? Maybe you're saying that because it's hard to find the good stuff, you end up short on time. ? Maybe I just don't get you, so no worries... No harm no foul.
And, sure, let's speculate on the size of potential audiences. But how can we have any relevant data if a scene is cut off from consideration? It's like the swamp blues folks of the 1930's and some player is saying "Yeah we like this music but who else would? Let's just stay home." Well, that's fine for him, but if some other folks want to get out and push it and try to break that sound on thru to the radio stations then I'd say more power to 'em.
I'd say that lots of MFA-system novels that get airplay are about rich-folk concerns -- nannies, psychiatrists, hotels and such -- heck, even the fretful, isolated lives of professors. All of these are even given way more airtime than their demographic warrants. They're the ones with the micro-audience topics.
A zine about trying to travel while being poor, about exploring a city on a thrift-shop bike, about hitch-hiking and couch-surfing, is something that FAR MORE people could relate to. A zine that reviews garage bands -- where the writer digs thru tons of local music and finds some great stuff and writes about it well -- and where a fan can go hear that good music cheap -- that's a zine that's of great service to LOTS of folks. I mean, can there be too many zines like that? I haven't seen too many of them!
Now, reviews of mainstream concerts with $50 tickets...that's just crap, really. Posing. Exploitation. I don't know ANYONE who goes to such things. No realworld audience there in my world.
Or, how about a zine -- or book -- dealing with life in A NEW DEPRESSION ERA. ...About life on the road, moving from job to job. Maybe about finding a way to thrive despite having no money but then getting into new dire straits coz in America if you don't have money you will be trapped like a rat eventually. But then the characters -- or the writer -- bounces back AGAIN. Refuses to be beaten down, figures yet another way out. Fact or fiction, who cares. No, IT'S TRUE. I'd say there's a REAL plot that MILLIONS in the USA today could relate to. Is it in the new fiction coming onto bookshelves!?! HAR! It's DENIED! It's "Dancing with the Stars" instead!
Of course, if there WERE a lot of zines about job-loss and bike-exploring and hitch-hiking and couch-surfing, you're right that most wouldn't be very good. We do say that the zine scene should be better known, but we don't say that all zines are equally good. We're into pushing the best up into the limelight. The best do rise up in the scene. We just say Why stop their rise? Break the glass ceilings in their way! The ceilings preventing underground lit are the same ones that prevented women from executive jobs! Whenever one hits a ceiling, don't ask why, just smash it! Sure, most are content underneath. But there are actually, as I've detailed, a few reasons why the barriers should be challenged (including freedom and justice -- a couple biggies).
At the same time, the lack-of-quality justification for barriers is TERRIBLE. It's reactionary. It's fetishistic. We've posted why many times -- as have many other cultural critics. Talent and quality were debunked eons ago. They're certainly valid in SOME ways, but there are other big concerns. ...Rough old Leadbelly never had the "quality" that smooth, pure Pat Boone did, right?
And, as Tom says, what's a novel anymore? What's a book? Zines BLEW ALL THAT UP. Of course, it was blown up before then. But zines did turn THOUSANDS of people, mostly young people, on to new forms of literature, writing, story-telling -- much of it from personal experience, real life. The Bosses say that doesn't count as Fiction, as literature, as a novel. But, man, are they behind the times. They're in a Reactionary Phase. The rules of the novel were blown up decades, eons, ago. Heck, when was Tristram Shandy written? 1700's? In the 1800's about the 1700's? All these supposed rules about what "real writing" is and about what "real books" are that can be let into the System -- are LIES. The bias against self-published books and indie presses...is based on a LIE. There was never any functional reason against admitting such media. And the rules have always been broken on a whim -- or asserted just as lightly.
I'm thinking part of the bias against zines -- and their bookish offshoots -- by the mainstream was that zines represented the rearing-up again of a Cultural Critique, like in the 60's and 80's.
I suppose we'll hear, yet again: "Just set up your own thing and forget the mainstream." And as I've posted, literally, 1000 times: Keep building your indie scene. We're your biggest fans! We IS you! ...Just also feel free to challenge the big-guys if you ever notice something (big) amiss there that relates to YOU...and get yourself heard better if you make your challenge with a dozen other folks. There's no lockstep -- everyone can chime in on a different angle. And get yourself heard EVEN BETTER if you fly the same freak flag: ULA! ...It actually works.

Bring Your Mac To Work?
Are you or someone you know a Mac lover but brutally forced to use a PC at work? Don't fret or give up yet. Many firms such as Genentech are saying "no" to PCs and "yes" to Macs. And other firms are instituting BYOC (bring your own computer) programs that allow Mac followers to worship at work. Is this a trend that has legs, or have we entered the post-PC era where it doesn't really matter what hunk of hardware employees use?
Macs have less than a 10% share in enterprises. But, Senior Analyst and Forrester's resident Mac-whisperer Dave Johnson says that is changing and changing fast as a result of increasing BYOC programs and smaller firms that standardize on Macs.
Listen to Dave's authoritative, balanced analysis in this episode of TechnoPolitics to find out if Macs can make it in the enterprise.

Discussion in 'February 2012' started by roscoe36, Feb 27, 2012.
well, theres the jinx. He stepped on the court and his aura has encapsulated the entire team.
In all honesty, we were not going to win this game. The odds were stacked against us with Philly really rocking this season.
Who do yo guys think is the more ath-a-letic team, Philly or Detroit? It is almost LOL funny when the opponent scores on a layup and you then see Ben Gordon enter the picture with his mouth hanging open as the ball is going through the net trying to play D from 10' away. I can't for the life of me figure out who was a worse signing for the Pistons, him or CCG. I've gone both ways too many times. I do think Frank made a mistake taking Monroe and Stuckey out at the same time (joining Knight) at the end of 1. Maybe he thought the 6'ers would struggle to score and he could get away with it. Tay was shooting some bricks early on. Iggy had some really nice passes. Austin Daye = wow!!! Illy is a good example of a team having everyone play their roles and to their strengths. A guy like Thad Young would not be nearly as effective as a starting 3, but he is great as a tweener 6th man. The Pistons, for the 1st time in a while, are at least playing all(almost all at worse) their guys at their positions. Joe must be pissed.
Pistons hold a team under 70 points!
Yep. It's the look up defense. I lost count of how many times Lou Williams just flat out lost BG without using so much as a screen. Ugh. Yeah, I've pretty much picked up his substitution pattern, but he didn't use to go to Bynum and BG together before iirc. He'd usually rest Brandon late in the first/third and keep Stuck in there with BG, then have Knight sub back in for Stuck with like 10-9 to go in the next quarter, then bring Stuck back in for BG a little later. Adding a fourth guard in there of the Ball Hog variety is a bad idea.
BG is the worse signing of the 2. With CCG at least he was a wild card, should be a contributor the way his #s were tracking...blah,blah...BG was supposed to come in and set the scorers table on fire and burn the lights off the score board. Well, he was a whopping 1/10 tonight and his defense was terrible. Half the time he shot the ball and was out near midcourt and still was the 3-4th piston back for defense. He is ****...plain and simple, anyone that still believes he is worth anything to this team except a high priced bench weight? is crazy. Im sure if youve read any of my recent posts you will see that I am not a fan of his, and I wanted to be when we signed him. I understand that scorers have slumps, but your intensity and effort on defense shouldnt waver. even when the ball isnt dropping you can always hustle. Im pretty sure he has a few million more reasons than everyone else on the team to hustle. and he is almost always the last guy back on defense, and our bigs always get in trouble trying to switch off and pick up his man driving to the hole.
Shame, Monroe had 9 pts when it was 12-8 for the Pistons. Apparently the high point of the game...
Yes, maybe it would have been better to go with Walker Ranger there. That is probably not a big difference though. That is certainly one side of it. Now we just need to see Charlie Garbage play to swing it back the other way. These guys are like siamese twins, you can't spit them up.
I've always believed that Gordon was payback from Chicago...payback for an ineffective Ben Wallace. those guys didn't want Gordon back, nor did anybody else bid on him. JD cleared the room with his offer.
I think the laughter cleared the room. even if he was the guy that played for the bulls....he was gonna be an overpaid scorer off the bench. He has NEVER shown the ability to even slow down his counterpart. He would at best be a complimentary player in a role situation....just reallllllly well paid. Im not too great with numbers and stats,,,,so if anyone is? could you do mew a favour and see how much BG is being paid per point over the span of his contract so far? Ill bet its not a deal.
I was hoping to see a lee-cap of this one but I have to assume that lee broke his keyboard hammering away at Larry Frank for that 2nd quarter lineup. That was the worst game I've ever seen Ben Gordon play and that's saying a lot. He has a lot of bad games contained in his body of work. Last night's effort is a prime example of why I'm worried about Greg Monroe leaving Detroit after his rookie deal is up. I don't remember seeing one blocked shot from a Piston last night and I checked the box score and confirmed this. I blame Joe. What in the heck does Vern have to do to crack this lineup? It's not humanly possible for him to be any worse than what was out there last night. I got in a fight with my DVR last night when it had the audacity to ask me "are you sure you want to delete this?"
agreed, I can see GM walking if he doesnt get some actual help around him.Ben wallace is probably the only other player that actually plays hard every time hes on the floor. and hes gone after this season. BK is getting a pass from me this year because he is a rookie and he has shown that fire and the desire at points throughout the year so far. He is gonna have some off games but he still shows flashes, I hope he takes a leap next year similar to Gm this year. But it is gonna be up to Joe D to show that he is trying to put the pieces in place or yeah I can understand a player walking. Why should he care if management doesnt?
That was a GMing loss, pure and simple.
Philly played with sensurgency, got their bebounds and hit their fritos. That's all.
Separate names with a comma.

About the Oregon Blue Book
See what's new in the Oregon Blue Book.
The Oregon Blue Book is the state's official almanac and fact book. It contains listings and functional descriptions of government agencies and educational institutions. It also features an almanac, maps, facts about Oregon history and elections, as well as information on the arts, media, and other cultural institutions in Oregon. The print version of the Oregon Blue Book is published during odd-numbered years as required by ORS 177.120. The Web version is updated regularly as information about changes becomes available.
Goals and Features
The primary goal of the Oregon Blue Book is to help the citizens of Oregon understand and gain access to their government and related institutions. To accomplish this, the Oregon Blue Book provides thousands of Web links. But understanding requires more than just directories that list Web sites. Accordingly, the Oregon Blue Book is brimming with original content:
Several resources, such as the Economy, Government Finance, and History sections, provide in-depth analysis to better place the Oregon experience in context.
Dozens of state agency histories (see PDF example) show how state offices and functions have evolved since the first provisional government in the 1840s.
Records retention schedules (see PDF example) describe the functions of state agency programs in concise, straightforward language to help make large and complex agencies a little easier to comprehend.
Of course, the Oregon experience consists of much more than just understanding government. For a broader perspective, the Oregon Blue Book provides access to hundreds of Oregon art and culture organizations, newspapers, radio and television stations, and more. And the Oregon Topics section includes hundreds of links to subjects that cut across rigid organizational hierarchies.
The Oregon Blue Book also features numerous cultural exhibits such as one exploring Recreation in the Cascades since 1900. Other exhibits include Oregon's Cemeteries; Oregon's Early Rural Schools; Protecting Oregon Beaches; Centennial of Woman Suffrage; Centennial of the Blue Book; Century Farms and Ranches; Depression Era Public Works; the Lewis and Clark Exposition exhibit of 1905 memorabilia; Oregon Trademarks, which interprets the state's colorful business history; and Oregon at Work, which displays the incredible range of Oregon occupations over the decades. Meanwhile, the Notable Oregonians Guide offers biographical sketches 84 of individuals who have become prominent in various pursuits.
And there's plenty more to discover about Oregon. The Explore Oregon section has movie and book guides as well as a wealth of games, quizzes, trivia, and other resources.
Like Oregon, the Oregon Blue Book is expansive - totaling over 2,000 Web pages. We encourage you to explore the Oregon Blue Book and, by extension, explore the state itself. The scenic photos displayed throughout the Oregon Blue Book will give you a taste of the rich natural and cultural beauty to be found in Oregon. You can also take a photo tour or the governmental center of Oregon, the State Capitol.
And as you explore, please let us know if you have suggestions for making the Oregon Blue Book a better tool for understanding and accessing Oregon resources.
To learn more about using the Oregon Blue Book, please refer to the frequently asked questions page. If you have problems using the Oregon Blue Book, please refer to the help page. The site map is another way to get a quick overview of resources.

What does it take to convince one person that our
healthcare system needed to change its pedagogical approach and
routinely address a patient's complete resource needs instead of
only providing a set of prescriptions? What resources are needed to maintain a sixteen-year
effort to combat the growing tide of poverty and the
inaccessibility of quality comprehensive health care?
Join the Center for Public Leadership for an interactive conversation with 2012 Gleitsman Citizen Activist Award winner Rebecca Onie as she answers these questions, and shares her leadership journey as a champion for social activism through healthcare. A graduate of Harvard College and Law School, Ms. Onie has continually worked to make her undergraduate dream a reality while ensuring that low-income patients are connected with the basic resources they need in order to be healthy.
This event is free and open to the public and includes a cocktail reception and moderated panel discussion.
To join us on November 13th, please RSVP to the following link by Friday, November 9th: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/S7BTD58.

The 'Arsenalisation' of Emirates Stadium is an ongoing process. And perhaps the most striking change so far has been the imagery on the stadium's outside walls depicting 32 Arsenal greats 'embracing' the ground and its fans.
As part of Arsenal Football Club's 125th anniversary, we are taking a look back at the famous names who now adorn Emirates Stadium. From the men who helped build a legendary Club to our modern-day heroes, we pay tribute to each in our Heroes Together series.
Next is Lee Dixon, the right-back who helped Arsenal to four League titles in three different decades.
Watch our FREE video feature for goal clips and key facts about Lee and hear from the player himself.

Posted by Richard Fichera on January 21, 2013
I was part of a Forrester Team that recently completed a multi-country rollout tour with Emerson Network Power as they formally released their Trellis DCIM product, a comprehensive DCIM environment many years in the building. One of the key takeaways was both an affirmation of our fundamental assertions about DCIM, plus hints about its popularity and attraction for potential customers that in some ways expand on the original value proposition we envisioned. Our audiences were in total approximately 500 selected data center users, most current Emerson customers of some sort, plus various partners.
The audiences uniformly supported the fundamental thesis around DCIM – there exists a strong underlying demand for integrated DCIM products, with a strong proximal emphasis on optimizing power and cooling to save opex and avoid the major disruption and capex of new data center capacity. Additionally, the composition of the audiences supported our contention that these tools would have multiple stakeholders in the enterprise. As expected, the groups were heavy with core Infrastructure & Operations types – the people who have to plan, provision and operate the data center infrastructure to deliver the services needed for their company's operations. What was heartening was the strong minority presence of facilities people, ranging from 10% to 30% of the attendees, along with a sprinkling of corporate finance and real-estate executives. Informal conversations with a number of these people gave us consistent input that they understood the need, and in some cases were formerly tasked by their executives, to work more closely with the I&O group. All expressed the desire for an integrated tool to help with this.

Discussion in 'Fantasy Sports Central' started by Darth Tater, Jul 8, 2007.
Yea, you boo that quiz.
Thanks. Now I feel better that I wasn't the only idiot savante' around these parts..:nerd2: I guessed on all of the questions yesterday and today and almost thought for a second that I was going to match yesterdays dubious results.. When will the ez questions comeback???
wow. That sucked. 9 guesses, all wrong.
two more days of halloween questions.....ugh
I just don't get it... Jammer got ZERO correct, but was awarded 5 points. Food4thot got ONE correct, but was awarded only 2 points. Jammer also finished ahead of Food4thot. What's up with that. I thought bad luck like that only happened to Darth.
I had points yesterday after I posted my zero, but then the official scorer took them away during the night time scoring, so not sure if Jammer will get his or not when all is said and done....of course it took me 150 seconds to get zero, so maybe that is why I was penalized...
In Canada, from sea to sea, Jammer is pretty notorious for cheating.
But I wanna say one thing to the PF.com people. I want you to listen to me. I'm gonna say this again. I did not... have... sexual... relations with that official scorer, Ms. Lewinksy. I never told anybody to lie. Not a single time. Never. These allegations are false and I need to go back to playing the Daily Trivia Challenge. Thank You.
I found some pretty cool sports quizzes. There are lots of basketball related ones. They are sort of more try to fill the gaps rather than out and out questions. This one tests your knowledge on the top 5 franchise scorers of the 00's. For a benchmark I got 115 out of 150. There is a time limit. And no cheating of course!! http://www.sporcle.com/games/wisedrunker/00points
What button?
Still doing it... Daily Trivia Challenge - Daily Trivia Game
I've heard that can make you go blind
Not bad for guessing on some. 6/10
Did anyone ever happen to try this bball quiz?
Impossible questions today considering Christmas is only once per year.
Haven't tried it yet. Did they ask tough stuff like "Who is the fat bearded guy in the red suit? A. Charles Barkley B. Roseanne Barr C. Santa Claus D. Rascoe
Not even close. How about "how much does it cost to get to the north pole?
Maybe I'll skip the quiz today, after all...
If you're going to skip, I'm going to play.
Nobody look at my score.

President Nyre Returns To Alma Mater With Iona MBB
NEW ROCHELLE, NY – In a unique moment in KU and Iona College basketball history, Iona College President Dr. Joseph E. Nyre will return to his alma mater, the University of Kansas, when the Gaels' men's basketball program takes on the Jayhawks on Tuesday, Nov. 19, in Lawrence, KS.
"I'm pleased to be returning to my alma mater and to Lawrence with the Iona Gaels," President Nyre said. "Basketball is so much a part of the fabric of both KU and Iona, and I'm looking forward to sharing Iona with Kansas and Kansas with Iona."
Dr. Nyre received both an Ed.S. and Ph.D. from the University of Kansas before going on to complete post-doctoral fellowships at both KU and Harvard Medical School. He is the first president selected to lead the New York Catholic College that is not a Christian Brother. Since arriving in 2011, Dr. Nyre has been recognized for many accomplishments including but not limited to:
- Initiating, completing and implementing a comprehensive five-year strategic plan: Advancing our Legacy and Defining Our Future, to advance academic and student distinction, improve the campus infrastructure, increase resources for students and faculty, and promote the Iona story.
- Smallest combined tuition and room/board increase in 10 years.
- Increased support for student financial aid, resulting in a declining net cost of attendance and top 100 national ranking (90) for return on investment (ROI).
- Launched new student academic support programs, a student success center, and new academic programs,
- Improved faculty offices and launched new faculty recognition and development programs.
- Substantially grew the college's endowment and annual fundraising.
- Developed and executed a residential housing strategy.
- Grew campus land holdings by approximately 20 percent.
Dr. Nyre and his wife, the former Kelli McIntyre (who is a Kansas native), reside in New Rochelle with their four wonderful children who are regularly present at campus activities and sporting events. The Nyres are avid basketball supporters and will also be in attendance for the KU-Iona basketball game.
The Iona men's basketball program has won 20 or more games in each of the last four seasons including the last three with head coach Tim Cluess at the helm. Under Cluess, the Gaels reached the 2011 CollegeInsider.com Postseason Tournament Championship game and the NCAA Championship in 2012 and 2013. The Maroon & Gold are the reigning Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference Championships entering the 2013-14 campaign.
Seven returnees and five newcomers comprise the Gaels roster including senior Sean Armand and junior David Laury, who were selected to the Preseason All-MAAC First Team. Armand and fellow seniors Tre Bowman and Mike Poole serve as the team's tri-captains.
Iona College, founded in 1940, is located in New Rochelle, N.Y. (20 miles north of Midtown Manhattan), with graduate classes also offered in Rockland County, N.Y., and Manhattan. Iona is a four-year private, coeducational institution of learning in the tradition of the Edmund Rice Christian Brothers and American Catholic higher education. It is a diverse community of learners and scholars dedicated to academic excellence and the values of justice, peace and service. Iona offers undergraduate degrees in liberal arts, science, and business administration, as well as Master of Arts, Master of Science and Master of Business Administration degrees and numerous advanced certificate programs.

The following changes should be interesting to the Persian and Iranianist computing community (based on an original post to the Persian Computing list):
Over the last few years, many advocates of access to information have gathered and organized under the banner of piracy. Should FLOSS and free culture advocates embrace advocates of piracy as comrades in arms or condemn them? Must we choose between being either with the pirates or against them? I believe that, unintuitively, if we take a strong principled position in favor of information freedom and distinguish between principles and tactics, a more nuanced "middle ground" response to piracy is possible. On free culture and free software's terms, we can suggest that piracy is not ethically wrong, but that it is an shortsighted and unwise way to try to promote sharing that we should not support.

If DNS is going to be changed in such a minor way, why not do something much more useful and interesting, which has a fully-functioning implementation already in prevalent use for over fifteen years on millions of free software systems? Why not make the DNS protocol a true server-independent peer-to-peer Naming Service? In combination with the modern DNSSEC extensions, many of the complaints associated with the current peer-to-peer free software implementation would vanish.
In applying for jobs and contract opportunities, the first hurdle is the request for a CV in a proprietary document format. ASCII text, the utmost basic of file formats, defeats many stupid employers and recruitment agencies. Whilst this is useful to help weed out working for companies with stupid people in them, it doesn't help in actually getting work.
The approach which has actually had far greater success, however, in getting companies to change their policy of using proprietary document formats is to explain clearly that the "online application form" contravenes "Equal Opportunities" legislation. This article describes the approaches taken and the success stories, one at a time, by which the proprietary document format practices have been successfully changed.

Welcome to Golden Goals - a FREE video series on USA.Arsenal.com which showcases some of the finest goals in Arsenal's history.
Each of our weekly clips will feature footage of a classic goal plus expert analysis from former Gunner Stewart Robson and Arsenal.com editor Richard Clarke.
Our series continues with Robert Pires' first appearance – a sublime 25-yarder against Southampton in 2003.
Read on for the story of his goal and click the PLAY button above to watch our FREE video clip.
Robert Pires v Southampton (H) 05-007-2003
To say May 2003 was a good month for Robert Pires would be a gross understatement. He netted the game-winner in the FA Cup Final against Southampton at Cardiff's Millennium Stadium. And just 10 days before that he scored an absolutely stunning goal against the same team.
In this 'dress rehearsal' for the Final, Arsenal simply manhandled Southampton at Highbury. Before halftime, the Gunners already had a five-goal lead over the Saints. And just a minute after the break Pires extended that lead with the goal of the night.
Giovanni van Bronckhorst exchanged passes with Kanu and tried to thread the ball into Pires' path in the left channel. The Dutchman's pass was off-target, but Southampton's Paul Telfer misplayed his first touch.
25 yards out on the corner of the penalty area, Pires pounced. Without breaking stride, and with but one touch, he clipped the ball up and over the Southampton goalkeeper and into the net.
That completed Pires' hat-trick, but amazingly it was not enough for him to take home the match ball. The honors went to Jermaine Pennant, who also netted three goals – in his first start for the Club.
It remains the only Premier League fixture in which two players from the same side have scored hat-tricks.

My husband and I have been trying for about 18 months now and we still have no baby. I don't want to do IVF or anything like that. I'd like to stay natural if I can.
Does anyone one know how you can increase your fertility or chances of conceiving?
Hello Bergitta,
I actually came acorss a fantastic article here on PBB called Traditional Chinese Medicine and natural fertility It has some really great information. I've heard certain herbs, teas, acupuncture, meditation and other things can be very helpful.
I, too, had difficulty conceiving. I tried several things to increase my fertility such as herb tea and other things people said could potentially increase my fertility. I took my basal temperature and charted so that I could find out when I was ovulating so we could TTC during those times. I suffered two early miscarriages and finally decided to see a fertility specialist.
I took a low dose of the fertility medicine clomid and did and IUI, which is basically a procedure that puts the sperm right in front of the egg :) It didn't work for us but I continued on clomid for two more cycles and became pregnant with twins. If you are considering doing any sort of medical fertility procedure you must be very prepared that you could become pregnant with multiples.
Aussiemidwife probably has some good fertility advice for you but please I am here if you ever have any questions or even just need to vent. I know how frustrating being on the TTC rollercoaster can be.
Hi Bergitta - Welcome to the forum. A lot of my clients have great success with Chinese Medicine - so hopefully you'll find the article Christie mentioned very helpful. Also as Christie mentioned - charting your cycle is very helpful.
Have you seen anyone for preconception care? There are midwives, naturopaths and doctors that specialise in this area and can be very helpful in increasing your success in conceiving a baby naturally. If you live in Sydney I am happy to give you some contacts.
I have just received a book to review by Jan Roberts (a Sydney based Naturopath) called 'Healthy Parents Healthy Baby: A guide to conception and pregnancy'. Jan was one of the co-authors of the very popular series of books called the 'Natural Way to a Better Baby', 'Natural Way to Better Birth' etc. I can't wait to review this updated book. I loved the Natural Way series as they focused very much on preconception care and what you can do to have a healthy pregnancy. You might find this book helpful.
I hope this helps and do not hesitate to use the forum to ask questions, to seek advice and to share your journey.
Hi Bergita,
The information that Jane and Christie shared above is very helpful and I'd encourage you to be working on your preconception diet and lifestyle as this can help you conceive and give birth to a truly healthy baby.
But sometimes getting pregnant is just a matter of getting your timing and techniques perfect. We know that the egg can only be fertilized for 12-24 hours after it is released, so making love at exactly the right times before you ovulate is very important.
Do you feel confident that you're getting your timing perfect? Are you confident that the positions and other techniques you use during baby-making-sex are giving you the highest chance of getting pregnant?
Figuring out what your specific challenge is will be very helpful, and it may be as easy as just getting your timing or techniques perfect.
I'm happy to answer any questions you may have to help you conceive your little one faster.
Warm regards,
We have been trying to get pregnant for about a year now and thinking of opting for IUI treatment but I am not sure that if it is safe to play around with my body before trying some natural aids. I am in a dilemma and don't know which way to go.
Hi Anukriti,
You are wise to consider supporting the body naturally before opting for more invasive treatments. One benefit to this is that you may fall pregnant on your own. The other is that your body will be better prepared for conception and supporting the pregnancy if you do opt for ART (Assisted Reproductive Technology).
I would be curious to know how old you are, if you consider yourself to be underweight or overweight, what tests you have had and what the results were. Have you or your husband been given a reason why you're not conceiving?
Be sure and read the page on Preconception Care and that you understand the best time for baby-making-sex in order to have the highest chance of conception each month.
I look forward to helping you conceive faster.
Warm regards,
Iam now 30 years old and my husband is 31 years old. My weight is just 2 kgs over the prescribed weight and I am a diabetic. No we have not been given a reason on why we have not been able to conceiving. I do have a problem of irregular periods but other than that all my tests have come back normal (blood, urine, ECG vaginal exams, thyroid etc.)
Can you suggest some natural infertility tips?
Thanks once again.
Hi Anukriti,
I like to see thyroid numbers down at 1.5-2.0 for optimal levels for fertility. Do you know what you thyroid test(s) was and what your thyroid level was?
Knowing you have diabetes and irregular periods immediately leads me to suggest that you rule out PCOS (Polycistic Ovary Syndrome). PCOS is an "insulin resistance" disease (similar to diabetes) and a classic indication of PCOS is irregular cycles (usually on the long side). Being only 2 kgs overweight is not usually problematic when trying to conceive, though being obese can cause infertility. I'm not suspecting your weight to be a challenge at this point.
Have you had any tests to rule out PCOS? Have you had any ultrasounds of your ovaries? With PCOS you will usually see a "ring of pearls" on the outside of the ovary. These are follicles that could not release an egg and became a cyst on the ovary. If you get too many cysts on the ovary, it makes it much harder for the ovary to release an egg.
There are things you can do to help balance your hormones and have more regular cycles, whether you have PCOS or not, but I'd be curious to know if the doctor has talked about PCOS at all.
Do you have any hair on your face (i.e. upper lip or chin)? Do you have any acne on your face or back? These are two other things that can indicate a predisposition to PCOS.
Yes I have had the ultrasounds and even an invasive vaginal test everything is normal. In fact the doctor said that I had 'very beautiful ovaries'. I consulted one more doctor and she said that I should increase the frequency of intercourse. Is there a number of times I should have intercourse?
Hi Anukriti,
Do you know what your thyroid level is?
Being even 2kg overweight could possibly cause irregular cycles because the extra fat can create an excess of estrogen which creates hormonal imbalance (estrogen dominance).
If you know your husband's sperm is high quality and quantity, and you're able to have more regular cycles, then it may just be a matter of getting your baby making sex timing and techniques just right.
Be sure you understand when you're entering your fertile window, and then you'll want to make love every other day during that window of time. I discuss this is more detail in the thread: How to conceive if you have irregular periods.
I hope this helps.
Warm regards,

This is an ice-breaker idea that I found on the Internet. I think that it has potential but that the resulting task doesn't make good enough use out of the 'material'. Does anyone have any ideas to improve it?
"Toilet Paper Icebreaker
Level: Any Level
This activity is used as a "getting to know you", icebreaker on the first day of class.
Teacher takes the toilet paper roll and takes several squares of toilet paper, then hands the roll of toilet paper to a student. The teacher tells the student to take some, more than three.
After everybody in the class has some paper, we count the squares we have, then we have to tell that many things about ourselves, in English.
This activity works well with substitute teachers also.
The toilet paper is such an attention getter." (from iteslj.org/games/9869.html)
As I say, I think the basic idea will grab students' attention, but that the "now say x things about yourself" bit is really weak. Does anyone have any ideas to improve it?

Thread: The Curse of Trent Dilfer
Re: The Curse of Trent Dilfer
I already believe I am the best linebacker in the game. Now, I have to show one more thing ? That I am the most dominating, influential person in the game and the best football player to ever put on a pair of cleats. -Ray Lewis

Re: The Curse of Trent Dilfer
I posted a similar message complaining about the Raven's treatment of Trent Dilfer last January: in this thread. Whether or not there is a "curse of Trent Dilfer", Marcoted is not alone in arguing that Dilfer was mistreated.

Re: The Curse of Trent Dilfer
The point is not about whether Dilfer was mistreated...everyone in the Ravens fandom knows dumping Dilfer for Grbac was a bad move...It made sense at the time though, Grbac was coming off of a Pro Bowl year in KC and looked like a guy who'd be able to sling the ball. Meanwhile, Dilfer was a loveable guy, but he wasn't an elite QB. Our gameplan that made him look so good was protect the ball, run the ball, and play lights out defense. Billick and Ozzie felt we needed to upgrade at QB in order to get another SB.
But to say we are "cursed" because of Dilfer...that's like saying the Patriots are cursed because of losing Vinatieri, since they haven't won a SB since he left. It's just coincidence..
When I think of a Baltimore Raven - we go in there, we take your lunch box, we take your sandwich, we take your juice box, we take your applesauce, and we take your spork and we break it. And we leave you with an empty lunch. Thats the Baltimore Raven way. - Steve Smith Sr.

Re: The Curse of Trent Dilfer
This looks like one of the threads over on the Sun's forums.
Seriously...there is a thread about who you'd rather have as coach...Rex or Harbs and Rex was running away with it last time I looked lol.
I think some are migrating over here...no other way to explain some of these retarded threads.
Re: The Curse of Trent Dilfer
And in defense of Grbac, he had the misfortune of having our only running threat go down for the season during training camp, relying on names like Terry Allen, Jason Brookins, and Moe Williams. This meant we had no running game, so opposing defenses could concentrate more on defending the pass, rendering Grbac pretty useless.
I don't know why I keep responding to this thread. Retarded is a good word to describe this thread.
Re: The Curse of Trent DilferThe Ravens will not win another Super bowl because of the curse of Trent Dilfer. Look how long it took Boston to overcome that curse of the Babe .
You should feel lucky you got a ring and a free trip to DisneyWorld.

Re: The Curse of Trent Dilfer
I do not think it is reasonable to argue there is a "curse" on the Ravens due to Dilfer's being cut. After all, who believes in curses?
Still, many Ravens fans and management have not understood what Dilfer's loss means for them and for the team:
(1) Cutting Dilfer was clearly unmerited at the time and crushed the Ravens long-term;
(2) The value of Dilfer's intelligent, unhurried, mistake-free play is particularly obvious after yesterday's loss to the Steelers. Dilfer was superb at never getting rattled, at never allowing unforced turnovers, and at instilling the values of competence, patience, and skill in his teammates.
(3) Whenever there is a thread on this message board defending Dilfer and arguing that Dilfer was unfairly treated, numerous posters chime in with slurs about his play. That type of response is classless: Dilfer brought home the Ravens only Superbowl, and was a supremely intelligent, winning-oriented quarterback. I don't know of any other group of nominal team fans who act like that. Usually team fans are loyal to and support their best and most successful players - with Ravens fans, it's the opposite, at least in Dilfer's case.
(4) Dilfer represents a philosophy: of winning over statistics, of function over form, of skill over flash. By rejecting Dilfer, the Ravens (and their fans) implicitly rejected that philosophy. That rejection carries over even today, to decisions, for example, whether to select coaches based on that coach's actual football expertise or on his perceived public relations attributes. Ravens fans and management have to ask themselves: do they value skill or do they value flash?
Until Ravens fans and management can come to understand that firing Dilfer was wrong - and why it was wrong - and that heaping scorn on Dilfer is likewise wrong, they will continue to repeat the same kind of mistakes that led to his firing.

Actually it is that bad. We DO have good, cheap, legal(!) weed. So there is that.
also, you will pay state income tax on any income earned in Ca, even if you don't live here, in case you were thinking of that option.
If you're aiming to teach at a college level, I guess the best bet in the region is the community colleges or the University of Nevada, Reno (though I guess the latter, they look for phD's).
If costs were out of the question, there is absolutely no doubt I'd rather live on the California side. All the CA side cities are nice... Truckee, King's Beach, South Lake Tahoe, etc. Most of the Nevada side cities are kind of trashy. A lot of them are just infrastructure to support the aging, dusty casinos.
Incline Village isn't so trashy, but it's a small town, and it's a bit of a drive to get anywhere. I think Reno is like 40 min away (driving over Mt. Rose summit). You have to drive around the North side of the Lake to get to the North Lake resorts (Squaw, Alpine, Northstar), which takes time. Mt. Rose is the nearest resort.
I do agree with everyone else though... unless you're only into park, Northstar isn't all that exciting.
If you'd accept CA cities, basically the two big cities are Truckee and South Lake Tahoe. Truckee is around 20 min drive to 5 resorts (Boreal (park), Sugarbowl, Squaw, Alpine, Northstar). South Lake Tahoe is at the doorstep of Heavenly, 30 min. to Sierra, and 50 min to Kirkwood. Next year the Epic pass will be good or Heavenly and Kirkwood (and Northstar).
See that new jib pipe thingamabobber?
|Depending on how the economy is in five years reno is horrible. It took my cousin about 6-8 months to find a teaching job in Reno, granted it was elementy school, i dont know about high school. But i beleive Nevada has the worst unempolyment in the country as of right now. Thers lots of places to live outside of Sacramento and still commute to sac for a job. Like folsom or farhter north placerville, Sac is about 30-45 min form these places, and SLT is about an hour from there. On the northern side there are 3 or 4 smaller cities all within 30 min from sac and about an hour to an hour and a half to tahoe.I think you would have a better chance finding a job in CA its just a lot more expensive. But as far as anything close to tahoe it will be very hard to find steady employment, but like everybody said why are you set on Northstar? I rode Northstar for years and this year got a Alpine/Squaw pass and it really openned my eyes, Northstar doesnt have shit comapred to others places terrain wise, now park they are one of the best. But Heavenly and sierra both have great parks too and much better terrain, same with squaw on the northshore.
Yes, the Union of Soviet Socialist Californians make it a bit expensive to live here, but honestly, it isn't that bad. Yes the state tax is about 8% give or take, compared to Nevada's 0% income tax. And sales tax. But Sacramento is about the largest city near Tahoe, and you don't have to live in Sacramento. I'd have to imagine there would be more teaching opportunities there.
Northstar. Meh. I agree with killz, they probably have the better park in the area, but as for the rest of the mountain, we rode it all by Noon with the large crowds.
We have a trip up there in two weeks, 2.5 days at alpine and squaw. Let's see what all this fuss is about.
|Why Northstar anyway? Out of all the world class resorts in Tahoe, Northstar is not one of them. Seriously, it's pretty dumpy. Well in a ritzy way. Really nice base area and all, but the terrain is less than exciting. Squaw, Kirkwood, Sugar Bowl, Alpine, beat it all to shit. If you are going for park, then you should seriously consider moving to Summit County Colorado, or Park City in Utah, or Mammoth. Much better park action at those spots.
|i've stayed in incline a couple of times. taken the bus from the south side of that campus to the hills. it's a sweet place to hang in the winter.
|Ya, I was actually thinking of transferring but I'd get no financial aid. It's worth staying here for therest anyway. I don't think I'd be able to teach at Seirra Nevada until I got a few years of high school teaching under my belt. But hey idk.
|there's sierra nevada college in incline.
|I am mainly shooting for Northstar. I would move into Cali if had too, just haven't heard to many good things about it.

i am in for ROTJ SE. Money sent
i am in for ROTJ SE. Money sent
Hey Collector, got you down for the last ROTJ set!
P.S. Hey guys, I'm currently closing the run list for the time being, once all current orders have been fullfilled, I will then start another run.
The next run will be in time for Halloween right?
Interested in a ROTJ pair. Add me to the list for the second run. Thanks.
Hey Eric, could you add me to the second possible run list. Thanks bro.
Add me to the list for the next run, please.
Hey Michael, I already had you down, just let me know what version you want.
Ok, quick update for those of you on the first run, the first half will start shipping tomorrow, I'll say "we" had a little unforseen set back, and when I say "we" I mean, MOM's is the "Worker Bee" on these and she's doing a great job, I'm merely the art director, although she got sick this past week and that ofcourse slowed up production, I apologize for the delay!:thumbup
Eric. I need the ROTJ pair. Let me know when you want the measurements.
Get well wishes to your mother too.
Ok, the first 8 Pairs have been shipped out and they should arrive by mid week, with exception of the bounty hunters that live over seas, theirs should have show up in about 10 days or so! I'll pm everone's tracking numbers to them tomorrow night when I have more time.
The other half of the first run will be shipped by the beginning of August.
THX Again Guys!
Can't wait to get mine
Interested in an ESB pair
got mine today! very nice! send my compliments to mom!
Got mine today. I have to say these are the best gloves I have ever seen or worn. I've had Bobamaker and REALgloves and these blow both of those out of the water interms of accuracy these are just AWESOME!
Got mine today as well. These fit perfectly and the detail is absolutely amazing. Thanks a bunch for doing a run of these ... greatly appreciated!
I first mailed them off Saturday afternoon and did 2 day, so I was thinking probably Tuesday!
Anyway, so glad you guys are pleased with them, I think I'm just as much of an accuracy freak and perfectionist as anybody, but you never know some times, because most other members are the same way, so there's always a little doubt!
THX Again!
Got mine today, Very Nice!! Thanks
Got mine today (UK)
Very happy
My quest for the best fett products is still intact.
Are you still on schedule to start another run in August? Just let me know when you'll need payment and sizes for an ROTJ set
Thanks again,
Yup, Yup! The first run will be all wrapped by the first week in August, so if your shooting to have everything dialed in for Halloween, it'll be nooooo problem!

What Women Think About Sexism? Janelle Manders & Christina Fern
14 June 2013 , 6:30 PM by nicole gundi
For Janelle Manders she's already at the top of the corporate ladder and Christina Fern has her sights set high.
So what do these women, who are at two different ends of the spectrum think about sexism?
It comes after the Prime Minister Julia Gillard was subjected to it this week. A vulgar menu was printed about her and posted online and she was asked by a radio presenter, whether her partner was gay.
Federal Labor frontbencher Bill Shorter says sexism is rife.
"It is alive and well sadly".
"If the Prime Minister had been a man, I do not believe would have been subjected to some of the abuse that Julia Gillard has been subjected to".
Meanwhile, the Chief of the Army, General David Morrison admitted there are systemic culture problems within the Army. He confirmed the latest sex scandal, involving allegations that personnel filmed their encounters with female victims and then sent explicit emails to colleagues about them.
So if you're a leader of today or an aspiring leader and you just happen to be a woman, do these events make you ask yourself, 'why bother?'
When is enough, enough?
Janelle Manders is a board member of Gold Coast TAFE, she's the only female board member of the Gold Coast Suns and she's the Managing Partner of an accounting firm.
Christina Fern is a second year uni student and a former winner of the International Women's Day Youth Leadership Award.
They came into the studio and had an open discussion with Scott Lamond.
Scott asked Christina how she felt about what's been reported and the events of this week?

New cardinal gets warm welcome in Manchester
By SHAWNE K. WICKHAM
New Hampshire Sunday News | March 22. 2014 9:36PM
Cardinal Gerald Cyprien Lacroix walks down the aisle at the start of Mass at Saint Anthony of Padua Parish in Manchester Saturday. (Mark Bolton/Union Leader)
With those words, the Rev. Richard Dion welcomed Gerald Cyprien Lacroix, the newly elevated cardinal of Quebec, back to his home parish of St. Anthony of Padua Saturday afternoon.
The night before, the cardinal's mother had prepared his favorite salmon dish for about 35 members of the family.
The cardinal celebrated Mass alongside Bishop Peter Libasci, retired Bishop John McCormack and some priests from the diocese. Libasci told Lacroix his visit is "an occasion of great joy and a blessing to us all."
And the celebration continues this morning, with Cardinal Lacroix celebrating Mass at St. Joseph Cathedral at 10:30 a.m.
Early in his religious vocation, Lacroix spent time in Colombia as a missionary. He said he still considers himself a missionary because much of his time is spent visiting families and parishes in small towns around Quebec.
Lacroix called Pope Francis "a breath of fresh air."
And the church needs a Francis at this time, he said.
"And he's putting the whole church in movement in a new way. ... Everybody has a responsibility in this big family, and he's helping us to discover more what it is."
The young Lacroix attended St. Anthony grammar school and junior high and went on to Trinity High School and then Saint Anselm College. Ask about Trinity and he at once declares, "I am a Pioneer."
Toomey said Lacroix's elevation is a source of pride for Trinity students. "To say a cardinal came from your school isn't something a lot of people can say," he said.
Lacroix has been a frequent visitor to St. Anthony Church when he comes home to see his parents, and he sometimes celebrates Mass in French, parishioners said.
But this visit was "historic," said usher Bill Cote. "This is a big event here."
Now that Lacroix is a cardinal, Arnts wonders whether Lacroix could someday become Pope. "He's very real, down to earth," he said. "Very genuine.
Arnts sees a resurgence in the church and senses that both Pope Francis and Cardinal Lacroix are part of that new spirit. "The good Lord has his ways, and he's got his reasons he allows things to happen," he said.

tghe P-40 is no longer made, but i think the only difference between that and the p-11 was.. a difference (not exactly sure) in the mag, and barrel obviously. They are (in the right groups) a sought for weapon, but i have heard (havent shot) that they are really snappy. I know some feel the P-11 is snappy (9mm) so i would assume the same platform with a hotter round would be more so.
I love my p-11, and if i was looking at the .40S&W round, would love a barrel etc for it. But have too many claibers as it is now. But, the P-40, then maybe a 9mm barrel and mags......
The price seems to be about what i would expect for gun, mag (or 2) in goodshape. They seem to be going for about that for full gun or conversion kits on another location.
Good luck and let us know.

Click for "Microbes After Hours" videos
Some substances can hinder the formation of biofilms. By using these substances, we can slow or prevent biofilm growth on those objects. This is important in many industries. For example, biofilms quickly form on the bottoms of boats sitting in the water. By using paints made with special chemicals or more environmentally friendly hot pepper sauce, boat owners can protect their boats from microbial colonies that cause boats to drag and that could damage the hull. We use chlorine in swimming pools to prevent colonies of algae and bacteria from forming on the pool sides and bottom.

Wanted to see if anyone can tell me that the Brigantine ramp is open to launch from?
Also do they charge the same as they list online ($25) this time of year?
Was thinking of using it this week and try to get out before the season ends. I want to find out if its open rather than repeat my mistake from a month ago where I went to launch at one of the places on Matts Landing road and every road to access that area is currently closed. Burned about an hour turning around and going over to Port Norris.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
GM's answer to this problem was the TH-200's, TH-200C's, 4R's, and TH-350C's Try getting either a lockup TH-350C rebuilt for yourself for a decent highway boost in performance and fuel mileage. If your not happy with that than go down to a 200-4R. Lock up trans, overdrive, and you wont be wasting power like with a 350 or 400.
Check out DRW's website for more info on the 200 series.
I feel your pain
I just bought a junker mid-eighties Camaro that has the same problem. The previous owner let me have it real cheap because he couldn't get it to run worth a darn. The person he bought it from went to the hot rod store and put one of every single thing in that store on the car. I bought it because it has a fresh engine with all kinds of internal goodies, I figured I can sort out the rest.
The thing was getting the mileage of a top fuel dragster, until yesterday. Here are the problems (see how many match your setup).
1. Square bore Edelbrock carb. Mine isn't a 750 cfm, but it would run a lot worse if it were. Since the things are adjustable, that means you have to adjust it, properly, or it will run like doggie doo. I had to re-jet the thing to run leaner on the primaries and a lot richer on the secondaries. Made a big difference. Next thing I'm going to do is put a Quadrajet on it. Better mileage, much better street performance, and just as much horsepower, on every one I've ever had. The Edelbrock is pretty, so maybe it'll bring a good price on Ebay.
2. Cam. Loping idle, doggy acceleration below 3,000 RPM. I don't know what cam mine has (still haven't gotten the info from the original builder yet) but I thought at first it must be way overdone. But that wasn't the case. If the idle is loping badly, you have two things happening, most likely. Timing (I'll get to that in a minute), and idle adjustment. You will have to advance the base timing to smooth things out some, then adjust the idle mixture and idle speed. If you get the combination of too lean idle mixture, to wide throttle opening, and too retarded timing, the thing will lope and gallop and sound great, but it won't run worth a darn. This is because the vacuum falls off, and the carb enrichment circuits think you are trying to accelerate, so the metering rods pull out and let gas through. The result, you are not running on the idle cicruits at all. The thing lopes because it is chugging gas. So, advance the timing, get the vacuum up a little, then adjust the idle properly. It might get you through until you can get yourself a nice Quadrajet (or at least a 600 CFM something-or-other, if you must).
3. Timing. Mine has a gorgeous top-of-the-line MSD system on it, complete with the box, rev limiter, coil, and billet distributor (pretty wires, too). The guy paid over $600 for all of it. And it didn't help it run any better. The guys at the speed shop probably ought to be shot for selling anyone a distrubutor without vacuum advance on it for street use. First, I recurved it. (meaning lots more advance, sooner). That in conjunction with the jetting on the carb made the thing develop power for the first time since it was rebuilt several years ago (tee hee). Lots of power! It still chawed gas like a hungry dog, though. So, since there is no vacuum advance on it, I ended up running the base timing way up there, off the scale, to a point I never would have tried on a stock setup. Still no pinging or detonation, but the idle smoothed out, the pep came back at low rpm, and now it sips gas. This car WILL get a vacuum advance distributor, before it gets the Quadrajet, so that I can set the timing up properly, don't want any holes burnt through the pistons, right?
Bottom line; that carb might be too big to get tuned properly, but you can almost count on it not being jetted properly. If you set up the timing and jetting, you should be able to make it drive around town without drinking up your paycheck. You might have to advance the timing far enough that you can't floor it because of knocking, if that happens, you need to swap out that carb. If the distributor is a pretty aftermarket one, it is probably curved wrong, get the kit and set it up for 35 degrees at 3000 to 3500 RPM, as a starting point. And if it doesn't have a vacuum advance, it will never get very good mileage or throttle response. You can reach a compromise, like I have going on now, but the vacuum advance was a pretty well engineered feature, in my opinion.
Yep, you got something that is all adjustable, now you have to adjust everything.
Once the thing runs right, then you can decide whether overdrive will help.
I came upon this forum looking for information because this car I bought, they completely jacked the transmission around, too. Sorry if my first post here is off topic, guys, and sorry for giving amateur advice (I'm not a professional tuner or anything, hehe), but I found this guy's problem here and so I'm trying to help here.
Good luck with that 327.
Last point -- I've had a few muscle cars in my life, they all outran my buddies' muscle cars, mostly because they put double pumper whatchamajig carbs on, while I kept my Quadrajets. Mine had more pep in normal driving, better mileage, just as much all out power, better cold starts, less flooding, less backfiring, and better reliability. I still laugh about that bogging sound! Anyone wanna buy a nice shiny Edelbrock 1405 with no choke, so I can get a rebuilt Quaddie?
Here's what I'd do...
1. park the truck and drive a boring economical car as a daily driver
2. save money
3. get OD tranny, 600 CFM carb, more streetable converter, and a cam designed for torque (a fairly mild cam); the 327 if I'm right is more of a midrange-hi rpm performer. Then, it should get better mpg.
750cfm is wayyy too big for a 327 unless that thing was built to kill.
|Well short of changing the internals it seems the only big increase you'll see is going to be from an overdrive, and/or a MPFI system. Both of which are going to run you 1000+ bucks. You have your answers, its up to you to decide what to do with them.
|Not changing the cam because im not gonna take the engine out and apart.
Sure...if you want to spend the money. Why not go with a more streetable cam, converter....................you will be further ahead for less money.
If you are not worried about the money, don't worry about mileage.
|Yes. Worth a couple of MPG.
|Yeah, that is part of it, but also having a 3 speed tranny doesnt help at all either. Don't you think it would be much better with a tranny that had an overdrive.
|OK...that and the hi stall converter (slippage) are probably the reason for the bad mileage.
Its pretty radical....
It would idle in neural, not drive. Every time i came up to a stop light i would have to put it in neutural.
|Even with a fairly radical profile cam, it should still idle.
poncho, it wouldnt idle with the stock stall converter because of the cam. its a 1/2ton
We really dont know much about the engine....it doesnt run very good. We dynoed it and it made 240hp and 260ftlbs@RW. not very impressive at all....
It was very rich so we put new jets and rods in the carb(which is too big, 750). I think that made a difference...but not much.
Don't add overdrive, replace the transmission with an overdrive transmission.
10 is not bad for a hotrod.
If it has a big cam there is no telling what kind of compression or carb. and jets it has.
If it's a 1/2 ton you should be getting better than 10..............3/4 or 1 ton, I could see 10.
Do a tune up, check to see that the choke is opening all the way.............could be a number of things.
The fact that it wouldn't idle tells a lot...............
|It only gets 10 on the hw...not throught stoplights. We looked at the overdrive, but thats more than a new transmission. And for the cam.....we prolly will change it if we ever rebuild the engine.
