What rear end gear ratio to choose?
Hi, I own a '68 Malibu with a modified 396. With the move to a big block making horsepower somewhere north of 400, I need to address the next weak link, the rear end. I have a 12 bolt that I intend to rebuild and am in a quandry as to the best ratio to choose. Really, this is a daily driver..........5 days a week to work, 5 miles one way. And though this is way more car than is appropriate for commuting.......it's a ton 'o fun. I will probably never race the vehicle, but I do like being quick off the line. The current recommendation from my friends is a 3:73 posi, which should give me a lot better launch than the 3.08 10 bolt I'm currently running. I really don't intend to use this car for the highway, it's for the city. One thing I'm struggling with is the 2400 stall converter that was installed with the 396..........although I'm starting to get the hang of it, the way the torque converter slips in city driving is irritating. I've been told the 3.73 will improve this circumstance. Thoughts? Thanks.
355 or 373, would do good on street
a 2400 stall isn't much, you sure thats right?
I know people running 5000 stalls...
I would run a higher stall and a higher rear end.
3000 stall, 3.20-3.50 rears because no matter what you say now, you will want to drive it at 70 for more than a few miles!
re:What rear end gear ratio to choose?
OK, this is my first experience with a torque converter of this type (as opposed to a "factory standard", which I understand is in the 900 to 1200 range) so I'm pretty ignorant here, but my simple understanding is that the way the torque converter works is that the converter doesn't lock up or fully engage the engine with the transmission until it reaches the designated stall rpm (in this case 2400 RPM). So it seems like a 5000 RPM stall speed converter would create more opportunity for slippage at a low RPM or more of a tendency to have to run the RPMs up to simply move the car? My understanding was that a 5000 stall speed converter was more appropriate for a drag car rather than a street car. In other words, rather than having to really rev the car up in order to hook up the drive train, I want to apply torque sooner rather than later and I think a 5000 converter is going in the wrong direction..............does that sound correct? But you're correct about making sure that my choice of a rear end ratio works for the highway. I need to figure out what my RPMs will be a 70 or 75. I really appreciate the input!
What kind of transmission are you using? Need to know to suggest gear ratio.
Try out this table out just type in your info and it will do all the math for you.
Yea, 5000 is a little much of a converter.
BUT a 3000 stall is a pretty good for a fast street car.
You gotta remember a stall converter isn't a switch, it doesn't just suddenly lock up at 5000 ( or whatever) rpm.
And at part throttle it transfers power to the trans just fine.
If you choose a converter with too high a stall speed you will find yourself fighting the engine at stop lights. 2500rpm would be more streetable IMO.
Wait... we're talking about a 400+ hp BBC? That doesn't require that much of a cam. I'm making almost 400 from a 454 with a 218/224 cam and I run a stock converter in a 4500-lb station wagon.
I think a stall that is slightly above stock should be fine in most cars for a BBC.
Anyway, Rodney... if your main purpose is street and you will see any highway use, pick a gear ratio you can live with. If you post the transmission you'll use and cam specs we can guess on torque peak which means you can predict best cruise RPM on the highway. We can also use torque peak to determine the stall speed and a ratio that will make the best of your launch and acceleration. From there its up to you to pick the ratio that will fit your driving style. For instance if you say you're picking a powerglide with its really high 1.76 first gear, that's a lot different than using a 700r4 with its 3.06 first gear.
Gear ratio
I have a 69 Malibu and I run a 3.73/1 behind a 700R4 transmission. that gives me 1800 RPM at 60 MPH in OD and I still get the acceleration and torque in 1st-3rd. The 700R4 will handle 500HP easily especially if it's not a race car, just a hotrod
re: What rear end gear ratio to choose?
To red-rider52:
OK, it looks like I'm going to a slightly beefed up TH400. Based on the calculator you suggested (by the way thanks!), with a 3.73 it looks like 67 MPH at 3000 RPM. A little high, perhaps, but workable as street car? A 3.55 gets me to 70 MPH at the same RPM.
To 427v8:
So a 2400 converter is pretty conservative? Will going to a 3.73 dampen the slipping effect?
To 303/Z28:
By fighting the engine, do you mean having to "punch" the engine to get an reasonable rate of acceleration?
To curtis73:
Yes sir, it's a street car. TH400. Cam is a Lunati with a .54 lift in and .55 lift ex. The guy who built the engine indicated that this engine's torque curve is at a higher RPM, which (if I understood him correctly) is the reason he selected a 2400 converter. Sound correct?
To Zmans69Malibu:
Yeah, an overdrive would be cool! Solve all the problems! Are you running a standard torque converter?
rear end gears
Not stock but not a high stall, 2000rpm or a little less. Built to 69 LT1 specs with edelbrock performer heads and intake.
I'm running a 2400 stall on my vette.
it's got a 450hp 500ft/lb 434 a TH400 and a 3.70 rear end. I've driven it >200 miles on the highway, went racing and came back.
I Get a little bog on the track, no bog on the street, just tire smoke
I'm torn on more converter or solving the bog with a shot of NO2
More converter would definitly make it faster...
I think if your not going to be going to the track at all you would be happier with 3.55 even in the city and if you do happen to go on the highway you will be able to drive a little faster.
It is really up to you in the end but I think 3000rpm at 67mph is a little much. and if you don't have a lock up converter you will have a little bit of slip witch might put you around 3100-3200rpm at 67mph.
With a BBC you are going to have GOBS of torque. I don't know how much exactly but running a 2500 stall with 3.73 gears you are going to get off the line in a HURRY!!!! I mean smoking!
What he means by fighting it at the light (as I figure) is that you'll be having to stomp on the brake to keep the car from going anywhere. It'll WANT to go forward.
For true street with a TH400, especially since this is going to be basically a daily driver...I'd personally go with a lower gear, say 3.32 or 3.42. You'll be much happier around town and It'll give you good highway with that 1:1 final gear. Not to mention with the torque you'll be shoving to the pavement with the 454 you won't burn all the rubber off your tires just easing it into first gear. With a 3.73 and up you won't be able to keep tires on the thing.
maybe i just like cars that drive right
3.73-4.10 ( no OD) are terrible on the street. take your daily driver out. put it in second, and drive at 60 mph. is that cool ?? cruising at 3500 rpm is no fun. garranteed police attention in my town.
3000-5000 stalls are rediculous on the street. no fun part throttle either.
its always some hillybilly hotrod. i like a balanced car that drives right.
a race car is a race car. they sound cool, and are fast. they dont belong on the street. you cant cruise at 4500 like a boat to buddies house. you just cant.
a muscle car has incredible on demand power at any time. mastering the open roadways at all speeds. they fall short on the race track. sometimes you wont even get into 4th, i think thats a good thing.

Jennifer Lopez and Casper Smart's Classy Cecconi's Night Out
All gussied up for a night out with friends, Jennifer Lopez and Casper Smart went to Cecconi's restaurant in West Hollywood on Friday (February 8).
The former "American Idol" judge wore a navy blue gown with sparkly semi-sheer sleeves while her beau looked handsome in a gray sweater, dress shirt, and necktie.
The elegant number is miles away from J-Lo's past daring outfits and with the new warnings against showing too much skin issued to celebs attending the Grammys, perhaps the 43-year-old is heeding the warning.
Way back in 2000, Jennifer's dress may have been the most memorable part of the awards. The semi-sheer Versace gown looked dangerously about to fall off of her breasts.
Enjoy the pictures of Jennifer Lopez and Casper Smart out in West Hollywood (February 8).

Norwich hope to give the club a lift by bringing in an expensive striker this week as boss Chris Hughton chases Gary Hooper.
The Canaries are reeling after being dumped out of the FA Cup by non-League Luton.
But Hughton hopes to finally get Celtic star Hooper, following two rejected bids.
City are willing to offer £8million for the 25-year-old marksman to smash their transfer record. Hooper wants to play in the Premier League and is also a Spurs target.
Asked about Norwich's striker hunt, Hughton said: "It would give us a lift and we've been endeavouring to do that.
"It's very difficult at the moment. People on the outside think it's very easy to bring in the players you want. It doesn't work that way. For those of us close to it, we're aware of everything that goes on.
"Hence, if you look at the strikers who've come in, you've got to look at the circumstances. That's generally big fees and big salaries."
As well as Hooper, Hughton is looking to bring in another front man. He is considering a £1.5million offer for Sierra Leone striker Kei Kamara, 28, who plays for MLS side Kansas City.

The Basics of Grid Security
America's electric grid, data centers, telecommunications networks, and other critical infrastructure can be damaged or destroyed in several different ways: a nuclear weapon that generates an EMP (Electro-Magnetic Pulse) effect; a geo-magnetic storm from the sun that also can generate an EMP effect; a smaller, localized EMP that can be created with everyday equipment from Radio Shack; cyber warfare; and direct physical attacks.
Learn more: Cyber, Electronic Warfare, and Critical Infrastructure Strategies
Electro-Magnetic Pulse (EMP)
A nuclear EMP is a very real threat, given what we know about the Iranian and North Korean nuclear weapons and ballistic missile programs. Both countries have demonstrated advanced capabilities to create a functioning nuclear warhead as well as to build and test the ballistic missiles that might be used as delivery vehicles for such weapons.
Devices capable of subjecting transformers and other critical infrastructure to localized, but destructive, levels of EMP can be built from readily available equipment. While the damage would not be anywhere near as devastating or widespread as a nuclear EMP device might cause, the ease of acquiring and assembling parts obtainable from a local electronics shop means that terrorists have a relatively easy way to cause significant damage to local communities.
The April 2013 attack on an electrical substation near San Jose, California demonstrates both the vulnerability of our physical grid infrastructure as well as the fact that terrorists also have been thinking about multiple ways to attack us. Assailants who were never apprehended attacked the Pacific Gas and Electric Metcalf substation with automatic rifle fire on the night of 16 April 2013. Firing more than 100 shots altogether, they knocked out 17 transformers and, even though electric officials were able to avert a blackout, the damage took 27 days to repair. Jon Wellinghoff, chairman of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission at the time, called the attack "the most significant incident of domestic terrorism involving the U.S. power grid that has ever occurred."
Cyber Attacks & Terrorism
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) reports that cyber attacks on the electric grid system are increasing in both frequency and sophistication. Such attacks come from a variety of different sources, including nation states and sub-national terrorist organizations. Concern over their ability to hack into U.S. power grid software and possibly disrupt the electrical supply system is growing because such an attack could be one of the quickest ways to destroy the U.S. economy.
A Natural Occurrence
Even if no enemy attacks our electric grid, we know that the sun will. That is because the sun regularly is shooting off geo-magnetic storms in every direction. It is only a matter of time before one of those flares hits the earth straight on with exactly the same EMP-type of effect as if it were a nuclear bomb.
In fact, we know that in 1859, a massive solar flare that came to be known as the "Carrington Event" (after the astronomer who explained what happened) struck the earth and generated fires in telegraph offices as well as extraordinary northern lights displays.
Because everything in modern life now requires electric power, the 1859 event was nowhere near as catastrophic as the same kind severe geomagnetic storm would be today. Were such a solar storm to strike the earth today, the damage would be in the trillions of dollars, but worse yet, societies all over the world would be devastated. Human life as we know it could be wiped out.
The U.S. government is well aware of these threats to our electric grid and the threats that EMP, cyber and physical attacks, and the sun can pose to it. In fact, eleven different studies conducted or sponsored by the federal government over the past decade have concluded the same thing: unless steps are taken – and soon – to secure our electric grid, we risk catastrophic consequences which include horrific loss of life, widespread destruction of property, and complete societal breakdown.

"There are several NCAA Tournament teams in this field that will challenge us early," Pearl said. "I'm hoping that the MGM Grand and a pre-Thanksgiving tournament will attract Auburn fans to travel out with the team."
Already facing Texas Tech in the SEC/Big 12 Challenge on Dec. 3, hosting Xavier on Dec. 20, traveling to both Colorado and Clemson, and playing Middle Tennessee, as well, the Tigers will take on Wisconsin-Milwaukee on Nov. 14 and Louisiana-Lafayette on Nov. 21 at home before heading to Las Vegas. Auburn, Oklahoma State, Oregon State and Tulsa will play Nov. 24 and 26 in Las Vegas, with the match-ups yet to be determined.
Oklahoma State went 21-13 last season, advancing to the NCAA Tournament for the second straight season and the 16th time in the past 24 seasons. Last season the Cowboys averaged 80.2 points per game while allowing just 69.6 ppg. Auburn and Oklahoma State last met in 2006 in the South Padre Invitational at South Padre Island, Texas.
Oregon State will be in its first year under head coach Wayne Tinkle, who took over a team that went 16-16 last season and played in the College Basketball Invitational. Auburn and Oregon State have never faced each other on the hardwood.
Tulsa went 21-13 last season and played in the NCAA Tournament after finishing in a four-way tie for the Conference-USA regular season title and winning the league tournament. Tulsa is under the direction of new head coach Frank Haith, who made the move from Missouri following last season. Auburn is 2-0 all-time against Tulsa, with Auburn defeating the Golden Hurricane, 74-55, in the 2009 NIT.
Auburn will be playing in Las Vegas for the first time since facing UNLV in the Las Vegas Showdown on Dec. 20, 2003.
As part of the tournament, Auburn will open up the 2014 season at home against Wisconsin-Milwaukee. Pearl coached the Panthers from 2001-05, taking UWM to its first appearance in the NCAA Sweet Sixteen in 2005. In four years as the head coach at UWM, Pearl and the Panthers won a pair of Horizon League titles (2004, 2005) and two Horizon League Tournaments (2003, 2005). They earned NCAA bids twice and played in the NIT in 2004. UWM went 21-14 last season, winning the Horizon League Tournament and earning the league's automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament.
Auburn will also play host to Louisiana as part of the tournament. The Ragin' Cajuns went 23-12 last season, winning the Sun Belt Championship and playing in the NCAA Tournament. Auburn is 5-3 all-time against ULL, with the last meeting coming in 2000 at Auburn.

Five-Spice Chicken Noodle Salad
Like a cross between a noodle bowl and a salad, this dish is low in fat and has a kick—thanks to the zesty salad dressing based on a Vietnamese dipping sauce.
Recipe: Five-Spice Chicken Noodle Salad
Pair with: Chenin Blanc. It sports some tropical flavors, exotic florals, and a tiny bit of residual sugar—all of which make it really good with spicy Asian dishes. Its beautiful acidity handles the zippy lime in the dressing here, while that exotic side is a good foil for the five-spice, mint, and peanuts. Recommended bottle: L'Ecole No 41 2012 Chenin Blanc (Columbia Valley).

fordzilla - 86 ranger
well i got a list of trucks and im gonna try to make one good one.
here what i got:
1986 ranger ex cab 2.9 4x4 5spd. needs minor engine work. floor is gone.
1988 ford ranger reg cab 2.9 4x2 5 spd. needs clutch. body is great shape
1989 bronco ii 2.9 4x4 auto, wont start
1988 bronco ii 2.9 4x4 auto. runs very poorly, cab is gone on the back.
i was gonna take the 4x2 ranger and sas it using parts from the 86 but nah screw that. id like to get the 86 ranger going. so im thinking ill take the cab off the 86, lodge the cab upside down on the ground or in my garage and cut out the whole floor. and make my own floor using probably 3/16" sheet metal or aluminum and have some like 2x3 square tubing welded or bolted on for the supports, cause thats whats gone in her now. so then id get it bent right and then she would be built perfectly for specifialy me. and then hit it with some paint, probably por-15 and then slap it back together, throw in a 4.0 and my d35/8.8 that im getting and id have my dream truck. probably around 4-6" suspension lift or more and a 3" body lift and some 35s with 4.56s. but thats getting way ahead of myself lol. anyways enough bullshit heres the pics
and the next pic is a bit scary...
no.. i dont know whats going on there either. she has 3" pipe cut for the pan, and 5 hockey pucks for the cab? oh well either way. a 3" Performance Accessories body lift and new rubber bushings instead of those pucks. and the rad support is gone on her to. so the rad support on the 88 b2 is good so i can see her coming to peices.
either way, im hopeing that the idea i got of making a floor will be road legal if not, well im screwed.

CANADA STOCKS-TSX falls with financials, others; energy stocks jump
TORONTO Nov 23 (Reuters) - Canada's main stock index ended lower on Monday, weighed by financial, industrial and healthcare shares that negated gains in the energy sector after the country's main oil-producing province unveiled a climate change plan.
The Toronto Stock Exchange's S&P/TSX composite index unofficially closed down 51.11 points, or 0.38 percent, at 13,382.38. Six of its 10 main groups fell. (Reporting by Alastair Sharp)

The Continental Congress - 2,000 words
The Continental Congress met in one of the most conservative of the seaport towns from which the revolutionary movement stemmed. Philadelphia patriots complained that there was more Toryism in Pennsylvania than in all the colonies combined; certainly the Quakers who dominated the province were more concerned in putting down radicalism at home than resisting tyranny from abroad. The character of the delegates who assembled in Philadelphia in September 1774 was likewise a good augury to the conservatives. The Continental Congress was composed of "the ablest and wealthiest men in America"; Chatham pronounced it to be "the most honourable Assembly of Statesmen since those of the ancient Greeks a ...

Britain formed the American colonies so that they could increase their gold stores. They wanted raw supplies to make into products to sell and make money. They wanted America to pay taxes so that Britain could make money. America used the theory in that they thought they ought to, in order to be strong expand their trade beyond Britain. Countries like Belgium, and France wanted to also increase their trade, and expand it to trading with America. They also wanted to increase their gold stores by trading with America. Britain however did not want America to trade with Fran ...

Born February 22, 1732, in Westmoreland County, he was the first son of his father Augustine's second marriage; his mother was the former Mary Ball of Epping Forest. When George was about three, his family moved to Little Hunting Creek on the Potomac, then to Ferry Farm opposite Fredericksburg on the Rappahannock in King George County. In the interim, the powerful Fairfax family of neighboring Belvoir introduced him to the accomplishments and appropriateness of mannered wealth and, in 1748, provided him his first adventure. That year Lord Fairfax dispatched him with a party that spent a month surveying Fairfax lands in the still-wild Shenandoah. In the expedition, he began to appreciate the ...

Declaration of Independence is considered one of the most important documents in world history because its effects were felt around the world and not only in its place of origin, the United States. While blacks used context from the declaration to challenge slavery in the United States, the French used its ideals to start their own revolution. The Declaration of Independence can be seen to be one of the few documents that had a profound impact on the world, and this can be easily seen because of the changes it brought forth. The Declaration of Independence was a document made by several delegates of the U.S. in 1776. It was simply made as a document that declared the independence of the 13 B ...

In his many careers as a printer, moralist, essayist, civic leader, scientist, inventor, statesman, diplomat, and philosopher, for later generations of Americans he became both a spokesman and a model for the national character. He was born in Boston, Massachusetts on Jan. 17, 1706, into a religious Puritan household. His father, Josiah, was a candlemaker and a skillful mechanic. His mother, Abiah Bens parents raised thirteen children--the survivors of Josiahs seventeen children by two wives (#1). Franklin left school at ten years old when he was pressed into his father's trade. At twelve Ben was apprenticed to his half brother James, a printer of The New England Courant.

The American Revolution was fought to change oppressive taxation and Legislation by the English government in order to reinstate the social political, and economic structure of the colonies before the English oppression. The colonists were very content with their lives until the implementation of heavy taxation and oppressive measures by the English government as well as many English companies, such as the East India Company. After the wars, America gained its independence, but based it's government around the welfare of the people, using John Locke's theory of government serving the people, instead of the people serving government.

The American Revolutionary War was the largest turning point in the history of the United States. Without winning the war, the United States would have never existed as an independent nation. The American Colonists dealt with so much pain and nonsense from King George in Great Britain. By 1774, the American colonists were fed up with the King and all of his unconstitutional actions. Many events contributed to the departure or separation from Britain, but after the Boston Tea Party, the major and most influential reason of separation from Great Britain began with the Intolerable Acts, also known as the Coercive Acts. This Act not only violated the rights of the American people, but they limit ...

John joined the Continental Army when the American Revolution started four years later and Margaret accompanied her husband. Wives of the soldiers often cooked for the men, washed their laundry and nursed wounded soldiers. They also watched the men do their drills and, no doubt, learned those drills, too.

What does the Sugar Act of 1764, the Stamp Act and Quartering Act of 1765; the Townsend Duties of 1767, the Boston Massacre, the Gaspee incident, and the Intolerable Acts have in common? They were all reasons for Americans to declare their independence from Great Britain. Because of Great Brtain's inflexibility and ignorance in colonial affairs, Americans did not want to be ruled under Parliament. During the 1770's, American's national pride had increased rapidly, especially after the French and Indian War. The national pride Americans showed during the American Revolution was their greatest ally against the superior military powers of Great Britain. This paper surveys the American Revolutio ...

The populas of the thirteen colonies did not find the need to stage a revolution just because of any one of these things, it took different aspects of each, being tainted with by the British monarch and Parliment to stage a revolution against a former motherland.

So guys, I need some of your expert opinions. Ive been thinking about my next line in performance modifications. I wish i had the funds and means to just purchase everything at once, it would make life alot easier! But im going to have to more or less do it part by part. The only performance mod that will really be going on the car within the next couple of months will be the Forge BPV. Along with the tint and tail light overlay. But im thinking about trying to finish up the rest of my exhaust. I have been researching manifolds recently and decided that, as of now, im going to stick with an unequal length manifold. And i came across these.
Tomei Un-Equal length Manifold for 02+WRX/04+STi Import Image Racing
From the reviews I have read on the Tomei's they seem like a quality product. What do you guys think of them?
Also, I currently have an uppipe for an ewg setup from IAG which is what i am planning on doing to my car if you have read my initial build plans on the first page. The only thing is that the upppipe I have from IAG is the 2-bolt flange like the OEM. And the Tomei manifold using the 3-bolt flange pattern. Which isnt a big deal since the manifold comes with the uppipe supplied. So that means Ill just have to purchase a new uppipe for the 3-bolt flange. Will i need a pro-tune if i go with this manifold? If yes, then ill probably just go ahead and get the ebcs too and have them both done. Now I know that this will not net to much HP after the tune, but means the only other thing left to do will be the wastegate and the uppipe for the ewg. Along with injectors and fuel pump. Is this worth doing? Or should I just wait until I can do it all at once.
Thanks in advance!

Keep up the MA talk on here. Good stuff.
Big couple days coming up here in the NE brahs!
New England is getting big ! I'll be charging pretty heroically this late afternoon and tomorrow with my Roy designed olo gun
Dude there is a swell here. The sound is enormous outside the crib. I can't wait to see what breaks look like today. You brahs better fake throw up in your hand and run outta the office. No one questioning you then.
The temp rose 10 degrees in less than an hour last night. These warm and cold air masses are doing a sonic wind clap. I'm glad I made the right choice to put off my CA flight til three days later. There's scoring to be had the next two days fellas. Chow down.
No offices for me friend. Just a shop with wood and power tools. I can ditch out freely some days, drive five minutes and be at point break or beach peeling winter swell madness.
Chuck...I told you to think bigger than the Sands today. Step out of your comfort zone. Too many breaks in ME that only go off on these swells. Do it. Get out of your cabin Thoreau.
RC - I'm sure the boss man is ready to jettison you for any number of reasons. Can't see HR putting much investment into a long leash for you when they know of the ants in your pants.

Art at NUKEM
Within the context of planning for renovation of the building in early 2004 , the Board of Management of NUKEM decided to revitalize the corporate work environment. This decision reflects the fundamental insight that the work environment plays an increasingly important role in people's lives today, and it is also expresses a desire to design a work setting that offers opportunities for personal identification.
Wiesbaden artist and gallerist Jürgen Raitz von Frentz was commissioned to develop an art concept for the building. His concept responds to the interior architecture. Opposing pairs of supporting columns line all the corridors in the building, each pair forming a portal, so that every corridor becomes a consciously perceived space. Within this space, the viewer's gaze is diverted, distracted by the visual interruptions and yet activated at the same time. The sides of the portals are highlighted with color, thus emphasizing the space-shaping process. In order to achieve this effect, Jürgen Raitz von Frentz developed a twelve-part color spectrum in a pattern that moves from blue to green to yellow and red and back to blue. At each portal, the viewer's gaze is captured by a different color segment from the spectrum, giving each corridor its own unique visual character.The color scheme is the point of departure for the concept as a whole. The newly vitalized architectural features provide a setting for paintings whose tones correspond to those of the portals. With Fiona Léus, Uschi Lüdemann, Reinhard Roy and Jürgen Raitz von Frentz, four artists representing four different painting styles were chosen. Despite the evident contrasts, their works interact harmoniously with one another.

When did they start the first prototype? If it's the same one, I think it has been quite some time. Your deposit invested in an interest bearing account may have paid for the whole car by the time it hits the market.
In the warmer months I ride a motorcycle. This would be safer than that. So that doesn't bother me at all.

Laying dura ceramic tiles on concrete
Our house was built in the 70's. We're remodeling a room off our kitchen that was built on a slab of cement. The room used to be carpeted, has forced heat and air to it. We removed the carpet and we were going to lay dura ceramic tiles on the concrete. Does anyone know if these tiles can be applied directly to concrete? I was told by the store that these tiles hold the heat from the temperature in the room and that's why we were going to use them. Someone has just told me this isn't true, they don't hold the temperature of the room, they break easily, and can't be applied directly to concrete. I have samples being brought to the house this Friday, but now I'm scared that we've made wrong decision and should not get this type of flooring. Can anyone shed any light on this for me.......
Maybe they feel warmer than ceramic tile just slightly but they are made of vinyl and crushed stone. How warm can stone and vinyl get without any help? Somebody is desperate to make a sale.:laughing:
Laying dura ceramic tiles on concrete
Thank you!!! That was the last confirmation I needed. I think we're going to go with hardwood floors now.
Thanks again:biggrin:
I think you'll be much happier.:)
they will be much warmer and nicer to walk on than real ceramic or porcelin(sp)
Hardwood is going to be more maitnence than dura ceramic, I have dura ceramic in my kitchen and it is the easiest floor to maintain in my house
Dura Ceramic
I have just ordered Duraceramic. I thought it was a good product...now in reading some of the posts, I am not certain. I am planning on putting it in a walk through style kitchen and possibly in two bathrooms that currently have the "stick down" tiles...that a diy can get at home depot or lowes. Can someone please tell me the pros/cons of duraceramic and grout v no grout. Right now I am leaning towards no grout as I believe it is hard to maintain a clean look. thanks! Ailuro
If you don't grout DuraCeramic then you have to use their high-dollar sealer on all the joints anyway.
It would be wise to do a search on several different websites before you waste your money on DuraCeramic.:yes:
UGH. A little late...the Duraceramic has already been ordered...could not put a stop on the order...I am having someone else put in the duraceramic. Question...Please let me know why Duraceramic is not considered a good product....:huh::eek:
Pay no attention to the "tile guy"
He's just jaded on Dura Ceramic because it's taking away some of his market share. Search some of his previous posts and you will see the writing on the wall.
I am a flooring retail owner and sell both
For most kitchens that I do nowadays, people go with Duraceramic (lifetime warranty/wear/fade or stain)
Also the grout is an acrylic grout so it will not crack or chip like a sand and water based grout, and is 20X more stain resistant
I'd love to give you cons as to why you shouldn't buy dura ceramic, but I really can't. Other than you have a wider selection with real tile.
BTW get it grouted
Grout should run no more than 80-90 bucks for 250 sq ft of coverage
Actually the Duraceramic is going to be laid over existing linoleum. I plan on doing two small bathrooms and a walk-through kitchen (hence my leaning towards not grouting) as I don't think it will look as clean and be harder to keep clean. I am actually being "chicken" :whistling2:and hiring the flooring company I bought the duraceramic through to lay the flooring....Duraceramic in both kitchen and bathrooms will then lead into Pergo flooring...so the only possible issue (which the flooring person raised would be a the difference in height which will need to be addressed at the place where they join.:(
well any floor expert will have the correct moldings needed for the application.
That is good to know...They are going to see if they can use my existing one, but it may be an issue. I am buying the floor molding and am wondering if I should try to obtain some transition molding as well. Suggesitons as the place is a flooring and carpet store....think my husband stated we would get the molding...so we are going to head to home depot or lowes.:(
I quit installing DuraCeramic last winter. The stuff scratches and peels and brings a lot of customer complaints about the product itself to say nothing of its obvious repeat pattern look.
Don't listen to me, that's why I said DO A SEARCH (ON YOUR OWN) and you will find complaints (from consumers) everywhere about DuraCeramic. I don't have a dog in this fight, only a retailer plays that game, I don't sell any tile.:)
Phony tiles don't cut into my market share. I have replaced three DuraCeramic floors in the past year that were less than two years old for people that got screwed and decided to go back to the real thing.:)
I understand you are not a retailer
but your complaints about dura ceramic are nothing more than hogwash
Is it real tile? No
Do they claim it to be? No
psssss..... little secret buddy
It's called an alternative
people don't want cold, hard tile that kills your knees and back from standing on it all day
Kinda funny how alot of dura ceramic is sold through Mohawk industries
and they also sell and distribute Da-Tile
yet in the "retailer" warehouse termianl in New England for Mohawk
they have 50% of the floor laid with Dura cermaic
What is this "peeling" you speak of
what exactly is happening to these tiles?
i like this "diesel cake" guy.yeah pay no attention to the guy that's been out installing a crap product like duraceramic,and has seen it fail time and again. because retailers have so much time out in the field to find out the plusses and minuses of any of there product.they like it because they can buy cheap and sell expensive.i would personally agree one hundred percent with mr. bud cline on this one.don't waste your money on any imitation of ceramic.if you want the look go with the real thing.it's the only product out there that won't fail within a few years after installation.

Fortunately for employers, not every temporary physical restriction is a disability under the ADA. If that were the case, employers would spend all their time trying to accommodate problems or conditions that eventually will disappear on their own.
Examples of temporary disabilities include broken bones set in casts, accident injuries that require medical care but gradually go away, and pregnancy. Before you entertain accommodations, look at the claimed disability and decide whether the problem will resolve itself within a reasonable time frame or if it permanently impairs a major life function.
Recent case: Sharon Green worked as a temporary employee for the New York City Health and Hospital Corporation when she had an auto accident. The mishap left her with an injured hand, and she used her accumulated sick and annual leave to recover. Then she became pregnant and asked for maternity leave.
Meanwhile, she learned that the temporary job she had held would be converted into a permanent one. Her employer asked Green if she wanted the job, but she declined because of her pregnancy.
She later filed an ADA suit, alleging she was disabled and should have been accommodated: Her employer should have held the job open for her until she could return.
The court concluded the ADA didn't cover Green because she didn't have a permanent impairment—both the hand injury and the pregnancy were transient conditions. Because neither substantially impaired a major life function, she wasn't disabled and wasn't entitled to accommodations. (Green v. New York City Health and Hospital Corporation, No. 04-CV-5144, SD NY, 2008)
Final note: Many temporary physical or medical problems are serious health conditions under the FMLA, and eligible employees may be entitled to time off under that law. Always analyze claimed disabilities under both laws, unless your organization clearly doesn't have to comply with the FMLA because you have fewer than 50 employees.

Another great find. It's quite fun and has a sort of old school FF artstyle. Just like Brave frontier that I posted before, it's also "online" and you can gather units to get stronger. It's pretty easy to get 4*+ units, so I'd say give it a try.
Also, if you'd like. Use my referral code. It will give you 500 hero points (used to get a big headstart ingame), but ofcourse I'll also get 500 points for the first and after that it's 100 hero points.

text: Ok, so this is my first female puppy and I had her scheduled to be spayed three weeks ago...well...4 days before that day, she started bleeding...she had just turned 6 months old when she started. My question is, how much longer will this last?? I have read a little bit and I understand there are three cycles to the heat, a bleeding time period, a clear discharge time period (when she is really going to want a male) and then lastly a cooling down period. Since so many people say the whole cycle should last 3 weeks and she's still bleeding and we are at the 3 week mark...how much longer could this possibly last?? I have her rescheduled to go in next Monday, but after reading about how good it is for them to develop there female hormones...should I wait?? It has not been too annoying, we have some little "pooch pants" for her for around the house, and she is not left alone outside. thanks for any comments, suggestions!

She's always up for a good time, and last night (February 13) Kate Hudson was looking fine at the 53rd Annual Grammy Awards.
The "Fool's Gold" babe showed off her growing baby bump in a blue long-sleeved dress with side cut-outs.
Meanwhile, Kate's girlfriend/babydaddy Matthew Bellamy took the stage for a killer performance with his band Muse.
And when he received the Best Rock Album Grammy, Bellamy declared, "I'd like to give a special thanks to my beautiful pregnant girlfriend over there."

Or Why Still No One Is Reading Your Tweets About Grape Jelly
A classmate from grad school recently shared a link to the page below with the caption "Saddest Twitter page ever." The concept was a Twitter feed from Smuckers Jam, which pointed only to the obvious conclusion, that no one wants to read a Twitter feed from Smuckers Jam.
Or do they.
For those of us who work with clients everyday creating digital strategies, one of the most oft' heard questions--and one asked with the most trepidation--is "what should we be doing for social media?"
At best, this is a savvy admission that brands and organizations in the 21st century can and should use "social" as an important arrow in the marketing quiver (check out Harvard Business Review's take).
But here's the problem. The term Social Media, in and of itself, does not mean anything. You don't need a "social media." What you need is a digital strategy that supports your organization's overall brand promise. Maybe you need a place for "Knowledge Sharing." Maybe you need a place for "User Collaboration." But you don't need a place for "Social Media."
When you think about social media, chances are you think Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Foursquare. Most recently, you think Google+. While those are potential items in any digital tool set, your social strategy can be much simplier than that. Often, it is a comprehensive approach made up of smaller components, things like:
- Comments from users on your site's articles or content you've posted
- Ratings or "star" systems for your services or products
- Testimonials from users on your services
- Blogs or Columns written by some of your employees on topics relevant to your brand
- Forums or Q&As for users to come together to have discussions with you or each other
- Facebook Pages, Twitter feeds, Youtube Channels, and everything else.
So if we're going to stop saying "Social Media," how do we know what to ask for instead? Here are some guidelines to follow, once and for all, to figure out what social media means to you:
1. Never fight a land war in Asia. What's the biggest reason your "social media" campaign is failing? You're fighting the wrong battle. Fearing being left behind, too many brands charge head first, bayonets flared, into some social foray without a true sense of why they are there or what they are trying to achieve. And then what happens? Winter sets in, the campaign fails, and history remembers you as a short person.
There is no point in having a Facebook page just for the sake of having one, or a Twitter feed just because you want one of those dynamic feed thingys on your homepage. It only makes sense if there is a clearly defined need. Which brings us to #2:
2. Carefully match the social medium to the social need. Ironworks recently worked with the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA) on their web-presence re-design. APTA is a good example of an Association harnessing the power of Twitter. In addition to the main APTA feed, which is carefully monitored and frequently updated, they also have feeds for their professional journal as well as advocacy and groups like students. These are aggregated on the homepage, giving users a sense that multiple conversations are happening at once. As a result, followership is high, and upon launching their new site, a major source of feedback was members writing @ the Twitter channel itself.
3. Not sure of the social need? Ask about it. The start of any digital strategy engagement should focus on gathering data to determine users' appetite for social interaction, and in what areas. Bring tools like surveys, focus groups and competitive benchmarking to bare. Looking at existing site analytics and getting a handle on "offline" user conversations will also help. For example, are lots of people discussing your brand on a listserv or third party site other than your own? What are those conversations like and why are they there?
4. Give offline conversations a place to live. Everyone hates taxes. And yet, Turbotax harnessed social interaction by giving a home to all of the disparate conversations taking place online about completing your taxes. While the topic of tax preparation may not seem like a social thing, this smart approach unites users in a way that is useful and underscores the brand. H&R Block has a similar Get it Right Community.
5. Determine if you have the community in place to support social interaction, then plan around it. The United Services Automobile Association (USAA) is a great example of a site that started conversation around its core offerings. Using the power of a community of service members and their families, they allow users to rate product offerings and accumulate points for site participation. The risk of such an approach is always "will it be used?" In the case of USAA, the answer was "yes" thanks to an intuitive read of their audience.
6. There is no "auto-pilot." You cannot, repeat cannot, launch anything social and expect it to run itself. Your brand must be there every step of the way responding, interacting, encouraging (and rewarding) participation. Yes, this means more work for you. And this may mean doing things you are not currently comfortable doing.
Here's an example. Redfin, arguably the best User Experience out there now for real estate, has a highly-used agent rating system. Every time someone buys or sells a house, they are asked to post feedback and a star-rating. These ratings are aggregated over time to reflect the average score for each agent. Now do these user reviews just write themselves? No. Redfin has to work for every one. After any customer completes a transaction, they send emails asking for feedback, and Redfin agents personally write clients to ask if they would mind completing the survey. This approach has a big effect on engagement, and the site has thousands of reviews as a result.
7. But wait, I work at a law firm. Are you saying I, too, can enjoy the benefits of online social interaction? Maybe. It depends on determining who wants to listen. While clients of law firms may have little interest in tweeting about recent legal experiences, there are other areas systemic to the business of all firms, such as recruitment, that may lend themselves to a social approach. Check out Wilmer Hale's careers page for a good example. Likewise, legal research and thought leadership are increasingly trafficked locations on some firms' sites that encourage sharing and commenting.
8. I hate people. Should I bother defining what "social media" means to me? Sure! Some of micro blogging's most popular personalities are also its greatest curmudgeons. Just follow @youlookgreat or @whitewhines.
So there is your list of ground rules. "Social media" is not just another line on a project plan or an afterthought for post-production. It is, if worth doing at all, an intrinsic part of a digital strategy that puts fire behind your overall brand promise. If done right, it can deliver great impact at relatively minor cost. If done poorly, it can do more harm than good.
And that is why if you are a Jelly Company whose goal is to get people excited about Grape Jelly, you have to do more than just create a Twitter page.
Or then again, maybe its just time you Tweeted about Strawberry.

Needs agood remodel, but clean and great location off the busy strip.
It was nice to be able to stay in a place that felt more like a condo or apartment than a hotel room. Units are a little dated and not very well maintained on the exterior.
Cleanliness and amenities No
Point Royale offers a quiet, family environment with Security. Our overall experience was great, and we will definitely stay there again.
The two bedroom condo was very clean and well furnished.
Good location. Plenty of room. Very outdated condo. Had pipes rattling when you used the hot water. The staff tried to charge another fee on top of the fee I already had paid.
location - off the strip but close enough to all the attractions no
The location was the only thing we liked and the security. The room was outdated. The carpet had stains, the furniture was dirty, the bed spreads were faded. Not worth the money we paid.

We hope you like our stuff and if you do then you got to visit of site because we only post a small portion of our articles on here. Our "staff" being all ex-collegiate and professional athletes we often times have a different perspective and take the athletes side on issues.
I see that you believe Lebron should be the MVP. Here's my article on why Wade had a good shot. Check it out & feel free to argue any points you wish!
Typical of a moron like you, you didn't even bother to really read anything I've written. Otherwise, you'd have known I've stated LeBron should get the MVP this year. Oh, wait, that's right, I'm just a D-Wade slurper...lol
Dude, you need to grow up, get a friggin' brain, and stop "slurpin'" on LeBron's nutsack.
It's fools like you who make people hate LeBron, which is a shame, because his game should only be loved.
Don't post anything on my bio page again, okay a-hole?
Jersey, you seem like someone who knows Iverson, can you please go and see an article "The Top 25 Players In the NBA Today" by Taylor Smith. he does not, NOT, have Iverson, Kidd, VC, T-Mac, B Davis, in the top 25, he is insane, can you go tell him something, cause this dude is out of his mind.
thanks for the add Jersey.

Conceptual artist Nedko Solakov was born in Cherven Briag (Bulgaria) in 1957. He studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Sofia and at the Nationaal Hoger Instituut voor Schone Kunsten in Antwerp (1985/86). The reflection on the history and perception of art as well as the mechanisms of the art business are central topics in his work. Employing almost all kinds of media - painting, drawing, script, photography and installation - Solakov treats the systems of representation and the real of everyday in a narrative, funny and absurd way. The tragic-comic, which characterise his oeuvre, is an essential feature of Solakov's earlier work. In using this tools he tried to escape, criticize and comment the influence of Bulgarian communism. Playing with the viewer's expectations is a particular goal in Solakov's work since in almost all his installations there is 'nothing' to see, except for small writings in the most unexpected corners. His work is represented in important public collections as The New Museum of Contemporary Art (New York), the MOMA (New York), Tate Modern (London), Van Abbemuseum (Eindhoven). Solo-exhibition: A Turnover for Many and a Bit of Luck for One, Whitechapel Street Project, Whitechapel, London (2008). His work was exhibited in de Appel in 2002 (Mess). The artist lives and works in Sofia.

Our fellow geeks may be curious about some of the technical details behind how the show is produced.
When we record the show we generally talk via Skype, but for live episodes we use Google Hangout on Air. Wesley records his side directly in Audacity, while Dustin records the entire conversation on his solid state recorder (see below) and uses Skype Call Recorder as a backup. When it's just the two of us or when a guest also records himself or herself, everything used for the show is a locally recorded copy, but typically when we have a guest, Dustin's copy is what is used.
Dustin's studio setup is:
- Microphone 1 – Heil PR-40 Dynamic Studio Recording Microphone
- Microphone 1 Preamp/Processor – DBX 286s Microphone Pre-amp Processor
- Microphone 1 Windscreen – Heil Sound Windscreen for PR30 & PR40 Microphones

There is a third microphone with an identical setup as microphone 2.
Channel one runs from the PR40 to the Preamp/Processor and into the mixer.
Channel two/three run from the SM57 to the Art TubeMP to the processor to the mixer.
When the sound board is used, it is channels 5/6.
The sound from the computer is output from the USB interface to channels 7/8.
The local audio is sent to the computer via the aux send.
All audio is sent to the recorder via the main out.
Wesley has a home and away setup. While lounging on his reclining couch to record, he uses a Heil PR-40 Dynamic Studio Recording Microphone on a <Peavey Tripod Microphone Stand w/ Boom Arm
connected to a Focusrite Saffire 6 USB Audio Interface (no longer available, the equivalent would be a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 2 In/2 Out USB Recording Audio Interface using a SEISMIC AUDIO XLR Patch Cable Wesley's half of the audio is recorded in Audacity on an Acer S7-392 Ultrabook and exported in Ogg before getting kicked over to Dustin.
If Wes is doing a little recording away from the comforts of home, he uses a pair of Shure SM58-LC Cardioid Vocal Microphone without Cable attached to a TASCAM DR-40 4-Track Portable Digital Recorder.
Dustin edits the show using Audacity and then exports it to both the proprietary MP3 (Lame) and open source Ogg Vorbis formats. Tags are edited using EasyTag.
The website is powered by WordPress with the Graphene Theme. Hosting is courtesy of Archway Hosting. Audio and the main MP3 feed are hosted on Libsyn.
The banner and "CD Cover" are using a picture Dustin took from the edge of a cliff near "The Monastery" above Petra in Jordan looking off to the west in the late afternoon of 23 June 2007. The text is using the TTF-Ubuntu Medium font and the image was edited using GIMP 2.8.

Some of the inline remote's features, such as volume control and skip track forward and back, won't work with Android and BlackBerry devices. But you can answer and end calls, as well as pause and play your music. As the manual says, remote functionality will "vary by device." The microphone did work well in my test calls.
In reviewing noise-canceling headphones, there are two parts to the performance section. First, there's the noise cancellation, and I'd rate the Beats as OK but not great; it's not up to the level of the Bose QC15s' noise cancellation.
The biggest issue: while the noise-canceling circuitry muffles exterior sound well, it creates a very faint but audible hiss. You won't hear it when you're playing a typical tune at a moderate volume, but it surfaces during quieter moments on tracks (or when the music's off).
With virtually all noise-cancellation headphones, you can get a sensation of pressure in your ear. This doesn't bother me, but a few of the editors in our office are very sensitive to it and hate noise-canceling headphones as a result. The sensation of pressure wasn't particularly acute with the Executives, but it was present.
As for sound quality, I thought the Beats were quite good for a noise-canceling model. They deliver plenty of good, meaty bass but don't over-accentuate it like other Beats models. In that regard, they have a slightly flatter, more balanced sound, though I wouldn't call them warm; they still have a somewhat aggressive profile, just not as aggressive as your typical Beats headphones. This may be an effort by Beats to appeal to a more "business-class" customer who listens to a wider range of music and requires a more versatile headphone.
With active noise-canceling, you do lose some clarity, and while these offer good detail, they're just not incredibly clean-sounding. The Bose QC15 earphones aren't an audiophile's dream, but they do offer a cleaner, smoother sound that I preferred. I also found them lighter and more comfortable.
Tastes vary, of course, but the long and short of it is that Beats hasn't beaten Bose. At least not in the performance department.
I liked the Beats Executive headphones. Overall, they're well-designed, fit comfortably, and have a sturdy feel and slick look. I also thought they sounded good for a noise-canceling model. If someone were to give them to me as a gift, I'd definitely use them.
However, if I had $300 to spend on a pair of noise-canceling headphones, I'd probably lean toward the Bose QC15s. You also have the
In the end, the Beats Executive model is definitely worth a look if swanky noise-canceling headphones are what you're after. But you should ideally try them alongside a pair of Bose QuietComfort 15s before you buy them.

each player allowed to use only one hand.
If either touch the ground, points are awarded to the throwing team. When tailgating, in
addition to points , it is customary for the defending team to take a
"sip" of a beverage for each
point awarded.

Acetyl-L-Carnitine and Myelin Sheathing Gene Expression
Byron's Comments:
Another way that ALC helps brain health.
Study Title:Modulation of Myelin Basic Protein Gene Expression by Acetyl-L: -Carnitine.
Study Abstract:
Acetyl-L: -carnitine (ALC), the acetyl ester of L: -carnitine, is a naturally occurring molecule which plays an essential role in intermediary and mitochondrial metabolism. It has also neurotrophic and antioxidant actions, demonstrating efficacy and high tolerability in the treatment of neuropathies of various etiologies. ALC is a molecule of considerable interest for its clinical application in various neural disorders, although little is known regarding its effects on gene expression. Suppression subtractive hybridization methodology was used for the generation of subtracted complementary DNA libraries and the subsequent identification of differentially expressed transcripts in the rat brain after chronic ALC treatments. We provided evidence for a downregulation of the expression of all of the isoforms of myelin basic protein gene following prolonged ALC treatment, indicating a possible role in the modulation of myelin basic protein turnover, stabilizing and maintaining myelin integrity.
