383 stroker knock
Please Help!!! I just built my first 383 (actually for the third time).I currently have a knock that seems to be coming from cylinder #6 or #8. The engine has been clearanced as well as the rods to accomodate the 400 crank. The reason for the first redo on this engine was improper balancing. After I had the machine shop install brand new Rods and rebalance the rotating assembly, I put it all back together and wound up with my "knock". I only drove the truck approx. 15 miles before i tore it down again to find the source of the problem. I checked EVERY spec I could think of (main and rod bearing clearances-crank end play- ring gap) EVERYTHING checks OK. Installed new fuel pump and pushrod- New bearings (again) and built it a 3rd time. The knock is still there!!!! It is always present at cold startup(oil psi is great) then seems to get quieter as it warms up- sometimes almost becoming non existent untill it cools down again. It really doesnt seem to be a lifter "tic" . It truly sounds like a rod knocking . Piston pins seem to be fine too. ANY IDEAS????????Thanks in Advance!
kinda sounds like cold piston slap, they expand as the piston gets hot and the knock goes away. in fact some years ago, the new dodge trucks rolled off the line with loud piston slap until it warmed up. however years ago, we did a rebuild on a 350 sbc, rering and bearing job, we reused the TRW forged pistons that had been used in the rebuild the first time, after about 1000 miles, it had a loud knock, and we did the same checks as you, we finally pulled it and pushed out the number 6 piston, when we did the skirt fell off, problem found.
Have you checked the cam clearance? Sounds like a pin or piston rock to me as well. Do the bearing show any wear at the time of overhaul?(s)
The first 383 my dad built for his truck did the exact same thing as you're talking about. He tore it back down and build it again using a differnt block (he thought the block was bored to loose)The second time he kept the piston clearance tigher,but it still has that same sound kind of like a really quiet diesel.
We've just come to the conclusiion that they are just noisy engines.
piston clearances usually have the most to do with tempature related problems like your describing, did you check all the pistons to see that they all have the same clearances and that the piston to bore clearances are within the tolarances, have checked plunty of sets of pistons and had 1 or more out of specs, also not realy the exact same noise your describing but happenes a lot in those bilds is the oil pans were different on 400s towards the rear in the sides of the pan to give the rods clearance, 350 pans will hit sometimes when using 400 cranks.
good luck
Make sure the crank counterweight is not hitting the piston in the area below the pin, things get real close on 383's and I have seen them just touch there, also make sure the top outer edge of the rod bolt isn't hitting on a cam lobe.
are you using pressed pins? if your using pressed piston pins what you are desribing sounds like a wrist pin knock...
Thank you all for the replies!!!--- I have been leaning toward all of these responses. The only thing that I left out in my first post was that after my first rebuild, the machine shop screwed up 1 piston (broke land while pressing in a pin) and ordered a new piston for me after the original boring was done (different shop bored the block to match the pistons). After all this - and all your responses, I know what I need to do... Thanks again everyone!!!!!
P.S. Yup - sounds like a diesel!!! Replaced Cam bearings. Checked cam clearance (Bolts ground down). Pressed pins- but new...... I never did check the piston to wall clearance on the piston that they denied screwing up but replaced for me after I proved that that they did... To anyone listening------ Once you find a good machine shop, NEVER, but NEVER switch !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Never switch when you find a good machine shop that you trust!
Check your oil pan
The most common problem i've noticed is oil pan clearance. A lot of people end up with a small nick in the oil pan, usually cyl 6 but sometimes 5, 7, or 8.
My first stroker had that exact problem and it drove me crazy. Hopefully this helps somebody, i know you fixed your problem already but maybe this can save someone else a lot of hassle.

MSI has made some pretty good DVD writers in the past, so we were quite surprised when we fired up the DR16-B and it turned in DVD+R times slower than a 4x drive. After burning two discs we reached two conclusions – that there was something wrong with this drive, and that we'd just wasted two very hard to come by 16x blank discs.
After much communication with MSI we were supplied with a new firmware for the drive. After flashing the new firmware, the DR16-B started to behave the way it's meant to and turned in some pretty good times.
Base specifications are pretty good, with the MSI able to write to both DVD+R and DVD-R at 16x. DVD+RW and DVD-RW are burned at the standard 4x, while Dual Layer media is written at 2.4x, so make sure you have something to occupy your time while you're writing 8GB of data. CD specs are a little below par with only 40x CD-R performance, although the 24x CD-RW rating matches the rest of the drives.
Although the 16x DVD+R times were nothing special compared to the competition, the MSI was able to write to 8x DVD-R discs at 12x and as a result topped all the graphs with only the NEC coming close. Of course when 16x DVD-R rated media becomes available, these times should get even better. Unfortunately the MSI couldn't carry the solid performance over to the DVD+RW tests where it came last in every graph. Things weren't much better with the DVD-RW tests either, where the DR16-B stuck near the bottom of the table on all the tests.
The bottom table placing continued with the Dual Layer tests and the CD-R tests, but the MSI did manage to pick up its game for the CD-RW burns, where it grabbed second place in both tests.
The drive itself is pretty nondescript, with a single eject button, an indicator light and a manual eject hole. In the box you'll find an audio cable, some fixing screws, the Nero software suite, WinDVD and WinDVD Creator. Conspicuous by its absence is an IDE cable, so you better hope that you have a spare when you come to fit the drive.
With the exception of the DVD-R tests, the MSI puts in a disappointing performance. The price of £49.70 is pretty reasonable, but you'll have to factor in the cost of an IDE cable if you don't have one. In isolation the DR16-B might look like a decent DVD writer, but when compared to its peers it's clear that the extra £7 for the NEC would be money well spent.
Besides the NEC, the MSI is the only drive on test that supports 16x writing to DVD-R media. The advantage of this is borne out by the superb times recorded using these discs. Unfortunately, the MSI fails to impress in the rest of the tests, making it a poor choice if you want to use multiple media types.

Britain's living standards squeeze appeared to be coming to an end today, as average pay rises outstripped inflation for the first time in four years.
In a day of good news for Chancellor George Osborne, unemployment fell 77,000 in the three months to February, to 2.24 million — a jobless rate of 6.9 per cent, the lowest for five years.
But economists predicted an interest rate rise could now take place in less than a year as the recovery gains steam. At its meeting next month, the Bank of England's monetary policy committee will discuss a possible rise from the historic low of 0.5 per cent, with unemployment having fallen below seven per cent. MPC members are set to vote against a hike, but the Pound rose sharply on expectation that a rise will now happen sooner than expected.
Official figures showed that pay, in-cluding bonuses, was 1.7 per cent higher in the year to February. The latest Consumer Prices Index rate of inflation was 1.6 per cent for March. It is the first time since spring 2010 that inflation has not exceeded the increase in pay, said the Office for National Statistics (ONS) — although wage rises excluding bonuses were up 1.4 per cent. Pay increased by an average two per cent in private firms, and 0.9 per cent in the public sector.
A record 30.3 million people are now in work, according to the ONS, with the claimant count falling to 1.14 million. Unemployment in London was down 12,000 and employment has risen by 691,000.
Mr Osborne said: "These strong jobs numbers are good news. Coming alongside yesterday's lower inflation, they are evidence that our economic plan is working. These remain difficult times. But today's news supports the argument we have made all along, that the only way to see rising living standards is to grow the economy."
David Cameron tweeted: "Employment rises to record 30.39m - an extra 239,000 people with the security of a job and hope of a brighter future." Employment minister Esther McVey claimed the figures showed a "seismic shift" since the financial crash.
The news threatens to undermine Labour's argument over a cost-of-living crisis. But Ed Balls stressed: "At the next election, the answer to Ronald Reagan's famous question: "Are you better off than you were four years ago?" – looks likely to be a resounding no."
Shadow work and pensions secretary Rachel Reeves said: "It's complacent and out of touch for the Tories to try to claim this deep-seated cost-of-living crisis has suddenly been solved."
Len McCluskey general secretary of the Unite union, said: "The squeeze continues, leaving ordinary people bewildered at the self-congratulatory tone of the Government that has presided over the growing shame of food-bank Britain."Reuse content

Groce liked his team's effort and offensive play, but indicated there was plenty of room for improvement.
Tonight's contest against St. Francis-Brooklyn (1-0) provides an opportunity to get better. Here are a few things to track…
1. Brandon Paul. The senior guard played at a high level Friday, posting 20 points, eight rebounds and five assists.
The well-rounded effort was noted, but Paul has played brilliantly for spurts in the past, only to be followed up by average performances. He's been inconsistent and streaky.
Has his game taken the next step, to a level where night in and night out he's giving 100 percent effort, playing within the context of the offense and providing help in the less glamorous parts of the game?
2. The rotation. Groce says he's comfortable with his top eight -- Paul, D.J. Richardson, Tracy Abrams, Nnanna Egwu, Tyler Griffey, Joe Bertrand, Sam McLaurin and Myke Henry. Those guys will continue to get plenty of time on the court.
But Groce has stated he ideally wants a nine or 10-man rotation.
"That's not up to me," he said. "That's up to the players, you know their ability to execute our system, their ability to learn what we want them to do. Obviously it's year one and I get that, but it's the old Stan Van Gundy, if you're a mistake player, it's a mistake to play you. We've got to make sure that we help these guys and get to where they learn our system and obviously we're hoping a ninth and potential 10th man develops."
The athletic Devin Langford saw time Friday and met expectations. Groce mentioned Langford's enjoyed a good run of practices of late, which has given him the inside track to be the ninth player in the rotation. Is he ready to contribute on a nightly basis?
"The biggest thing with Devin is he needs to run our system better and be disciplined enough to execute it, whether that's positioning or taking care of the basketball," Groce said. "He needs to develop that trust level. A lot of it boils down to trust."
3. Improving defensive deficiencies. Groce singled out transition defense following both the West Chester exhibition and Colgate opener. While it doesn't appear to be an issue of effort, the team isn't getting back and setting up properly in certain instances.
"I was disappointed on the execution of our transition defense," Groce said. "We've got to get better there. That will be tested… We'll play a team (St. Francis) that's the fastest of the four times we will have played."
Groce would also like to see the dribble drive handled more effectively. Too many times against Colgate the ball made it's way into the interior, breaking down the defense and providing multiple outlets for potential scores.
"I thought we got beat off the dribble, put us in a rotation a little bit too much on Friday night, put us in situations where we had to help too much," Groce said. "When you do that, that's how you give up 3s.
"We're playing a team that was 35th in the country last year in 3-point production, so that's a big part of what they do, so we're hoping to be better in that area so we're guarding the basketball better and not having to help and running at the ball as much."
4. Getting Egwu and McLaurin going. McLaurin and Egwu controlled the boards against Colgate, but weren't much of a scoring presence. The 3-pointers from the guards and versatile forwards Griffey and Henry were plentiful, but that won't always be the case.
Egwu didn't have his best night shooting, finishing 3-of-10 and McLaurin offered only four points. Both missed a few point blank putbacks, too.
Groce is fine with 3-point shots in the context of the offense, but he'd also like to see a more balanced scoring output.

I just got my 10 wrx prem. from the dealer last night after my 60k and a new alternator belt since mine was cracking. I drove about 10 miles and then I hear a sound like a baseball card on bike spokes.. I heard a snap.. My battery light came on my dash, and my power steering kicked out. I got off to the side of 95n by Philly in rush hour traffic and popped the hood. I could see the belt was shreaded and hanging there.
The dealer towed it back, and I need to call the service manager this morning. What could go wrong by this happening, that they should check out?

NEWPORT, Vt. (AP) - A man armed with a rifle on his roof who was charged with reckless endangerment has filed several motions from jail, including one in which he asks to plead not guilty by reason of temporary insanity.
Derick Niles has filed six motions since he was arrested in Newport on Sept. 25. He has pleaded not guilty to misdemeanor counts of reckless endangerment and disorderly conduct.
The Caledonian Record reports Judge Howard VanBenthuysen will consider the motions in conjunction with pending evaluations to determine Niles's competency.
Among the motions, the 36-year-old Niles asks the court to modify his conditions of release and allow him to be released on his personal recognizance so that he can mount an appropriate defense.

Philadelphia Eagles fans had a lot to be happy for on Thursday as their team pounded Arizona 48-20 behind remarkable performances by Brian Westbrook and Donovan McNabb. Westbrook racked up 110 yards rushing, and 20 receiving but also scored four touchdowns for the Eagles.
Meanwhile, QB Donovan McNabb threw for four touchdowns of his own as he was 27-39 for 260 yards. The win was just what the doctor ordered for Philadelphia as they climbed to 6-5 -1 on the year only two games out of second place in the NFC East.
The Redskins and Cowboys recent success coupled with the Giants unbelievable season means that the NFC East is as tough a division as you'll find in the NFL this year and could spell heartbreak for the Eagles.
With games like they had on Thursday, however they should be able to make a run. Fan support is always a plus, so grab some Philadelphia Eagles tickets and cheer on the E-A-G-L-E-S Eagles!

Weight or no?
whats the best color for largemouth?
As well, base the colors that you are using on the water situation that you are facing. If fishing in clear water, lures that have a more subtle or natural color would be great, as this will not spook fish. However, if fishing in water that may be murky or muddy, try using a lure with a lot of flash so that the lure can allow the fish to hone in on it.
what jerk bait is better, slug-go or a senko??
I fish them with just a light off-set hook, no rigging of any kind is needed. And the lighter the line the better the action. I use the 3 and 4 inch for bass and the 3" for trout.
I've had the best luck with the rainbow,
white and black. (When you can find the black.)
Cast them out and let them sink slowly, then retreive with light taps and let them fall again. They look just like a dying bait fish and bass will kill them!
I have found that they out perform any and all other soft jerk baits and most worms.
I'm probably going to try it with fluorocarbon as well to see if I can enhance the action. I hope this helps.

Hi Everyone,
We have recently started selling over activeden after purchasing a couple of very useful files last year. Uploaded couple of forms to start with and just get a hang on how it actually is and works here at activeden. I have been visiting the forums lately and found this community to be very active and interesting at the same time and look forward to becoming an active member myself.
At the moment i had a little query and could not find much regarding how you can update an existing items title? you can change the item description or update the files but how about the title? Pardon me if this has been discussed before but i have not been able to find anything on this. I contacted Envato support but got reply "I'm not 100% sure if you are able to edit it, but I'll find out." and asking me to provide the new title, however nothing happened on that front and i got no response thereafter. So just wanted to ask you guys if anyone managed to change it? and if yes how?.
Thanks and i look forward to joining you guys at the forums.
- Rohit
Go to the edit page of your file and use the message box for the reviewer… ask him to change the title for you… that's should be the way…
Thanks Parker for pointing that out. Just did that and hopefully it will get updated soon.
Interestingly i found that it's the item title which is responsible for search results not sure how much the tags help. I missed a important word in the title thinking its already there in the tags and their really is no need of a repitition, however, from what i see on search that's the most important text as i do not see my item in search for that keyword. Or is there something else to it? what do you all think?

Serving Size: 6 oz
Yield 20 portions
Preparation Time: 2:00
You can skim the fat, but in the cold winter, it tastes good. The colder it is, the better you will like fatty soups. If you cook it long enough, the beans and everything will break down and purée, combining with the fat to make a "creamy" consistency, that is much admired by "beanies."
I like to finish the soup with sliced kielbasi, but that is gilding the lily. If you have a wood fireplace, grow some fresh parsley where you dump the ashes, and garnish this soup with deep green parsley pluches. I used to dump the ashes when I got up in the early AM, and chew on some parsley. Nothing in this world gives a cleaner tasting mouth. Parsley loses fragrance and flavor quickly when picked. You'd never know that unless you had fresh. Grow it in a sunny window box. If I were designing a house, I'd have the big kitchen window get the morning sun, and face the garden, with my table set so I could look out while I was having breakfast, and watch the rabbits fatten on the extra I'd planted for them.

The central bank's intervention has paid off! Rupee regained its footing after an initial fall to over 54 to a dollar, finally closing at 53.78 to the dollar.
The finance ministry, meanwhile, blamed the recent weakness in the Indian currency on high current account deficit, slowdown in foreign inflows and the Eurozone crisis.
However, the government is not taking any action just as yet. Finance ministry sources say a knee-jerk reaction to the rupee is unwarranted, and they need to consistently watch the rupee movement since this could just be a short-term fluctuation. "We expect the rupee to recover after its recent plunge," the official told the channel.
CNBC-TV18 learns from finance ministry sources that the government believes that in order to manage rupee, it needs to turn around sentiment for higher capital flows. "With inflation at current levels, we see rupee remaining at 52-53 to a dollar," the official added.
While the government thinks that country's macro economic fundamentals remain strong, it will look at issues like FDI in retail and diesel deregulation post parliament session in order to boost sentiment.
The finance ministry also expects GAAR postponement impact to show up in sentiment.

Excel: How to rank by two columns
Problem: How to rank by two columns? Column A are the "group" numbers and column B are the dates. See picture below. So all dates in group 1 should be ranked together, group 2 dates together and so on.
- Copy formula =SUM((B2>=$B$2:$B$16)*1*(A2=$A$2:$A$16)) into cell C2 and press "CTRL" + Shift" + "Enter"
- Copy the formula to cells below
Let us see what this formula does.
B2>=$B$2:$B$16 checks if cell value in B2 are bigger or equal than cell values in column B
A2=$A$2:$A$16 checks that only groups together are "summed" and ranked.

Questions From Readers
Earlier this week I posted a blog that talked about pushy people in Network Marketing and gave some tips about how to avoid being that person. My inbox received a lot of emails of people talking about their experiences with people who were pushy and annoying. Without a doubt, I hit some sort of nerve. I also received several questions and wanted to take the time to answer two of them on the blog today.
It's one of those things we all struggle with: Getting people to "sign on the dotted line" and getting reps and customers for our products. Both questions revolved around this common theme so I wanted to take the time to answer these two questions.

Theater violence and language break down barriers, panelist say
May 20, 2012
Former Denver Post theater critic John Moore said he's never had a complaint over an overly violent play, but he has upset readers when he didn't condemn a play that explored same-sex relationships.
That was during a discussion of the place and purpose of harsh language in contemporary theater productions, hosted Sunday by the Lake Dillon Theatre Company. It was the first of two free panel discussions on the topic, with the second slated for 4 p.m. June 3, prior to the evening production of "A Behanding in Spokane."
It's all part of an effort to educate theatergoers on the types of plays the theater does, and why. It goes hand-in-hand with theater staff's effort to pull off one "edgy" production each year in the off season.
Though participants and panelists held varying viewpoints of whether language and various forms of violence are appropriate for theater productions, Lake Dillon Theatre Company boardmember John Fitzgerald said there's value to both because it has spurred discussion.
"Part of the value of the play is what's happening here tonight," he said. Getting the community together to discuss the play, why it was written and its content is important, he added.
"A Behanding in Spokane" characters use several harsh curse words as well as the word, "nigger," which often catches audiences by surprise, director Joshua Blanchard said. At the same time, the play is written as a comedy, leaving audiences unsure whether to laugh or be horrified at playwright Martin McDonagh's assertiveness.
"The purpose (of the panel discussion) is to allow different theater practitioners to explore the trends in theater today, the purpose of language in theater today and why it has that assault capacity on audiences and what the purpose of that is," Blanchard said. "I believe there's a rhyme and reason for the language in the show. And in most shows. It's not just gratuitous."
Most participants and panelists agreed that language in a play should be there for a reason, not just extraneous. But they all varied in the degree to which they thought it was permissible.
Local playwright and Summit Daily News managing editor Alex Miller said he wasn't so sure that repeated use of "the f-word" is appropriate, as it can "become a blunt instrument."
He used an example from "Pulp Fiction" to illustrate how the word can be a punch line.
Others argued that language in "A Behanding in Spokane" helps illustrate characters' differences and prejudices better than other methods. It can be the playwright's attempt to capture the time and place in which his play is set, thereby not serving any purpose other than realism.
"The playwright wants a reaction, just as anyone doing art seeks a reaction," participant Sandy Greenhut said during the discussion.
Which, perhaps, is why violence appears in theater. Christy Montour-Larson of Denver's Curious Theatre Company said she has audiences say they're troubled by the use of harsh curse words, but are not fazed by a simulated murder in which bodies are chopped up on stage. In "A Behanding in Spokane," characters mull over chopped-off hands.
"It's a mirror to society," Lake Dillon Theatre Company artistic director Chris Alleman said. "We see bloody, gruesome things, and we're sort of OK with it. But as soon as someone says the f-word, people say woah."
Moore added that he believes language and violence are an effort to infuse a visceral feeling into a play's topical discussion.
"He's not messing around. He wants you to feel something," Moore said of McDonagh, adding that there's value in reactions to three-dimensional, live acting versus the staged productions of the movies.
"Since we are immune to it, could the playwright be finding a way to get to us?" Fitzgerald asked.
To Blanchard, these contemporary tactics are a way to break down social norms.
"(Playwrights) expose the audience to certain forms of violence that allows them to break down for themselves certain social templates or stereotypes they've created in their minds," he said. "What's unique about theater is it is a public social situation, but it allows theater practitioners, through theater, to kind of go there and explore stuff that might normally make people uncomfortable."
The discussion is Sunday evening is the same one that happens each time a playwright breaks new ground, Montour-Larson said.
"If this was the 1940s, we'd be having a discussion of why Rhett Butler said, 'Frankly, my darling, I don't give a damn,'" she said.

This is a delightful coming of age story in a time when you truly had to know who you were. It has a nice setting and the story moves along pretty quickly. I like the author's use of description to paint a picture of what this world is like and how there is no doubt who the heroine is but some doubt as to how she's going to fulfill her destiny.
The writing is good and the story is a classic one but well worth reading. I like the use of magic and how it's explained as well as the interaction between the characters. The main character is strong and just gets stronger toward the end of the book. You definitely want to root for her in her hour of need and cry when she tries to give up. Well worth reading.

Richard Gere
Juliette Binoche
Flora Cross
Printer-Friendly version
If it sounds confusing, it�s because it is. The film is very convoluted with mixed messages and religious ideas and theories that are never fully explored. Also, the characters get from A to b to C in lightening speed. The audience never has a chance to get emotionally involved in any of the four family members and therefore we�re left confused at the end of the film as to what, if anything the movie accomplished.
The performances were on par from what you expect from the likes of Richard Gere and Juliette Binoche. They always do their roles justice, even if I don�t always like the roles they choose. But take a good look at Flora Cross smiling on the cover because that�s the only time you�ll see her exert any facial expression in the film. The most confusing character was in fact Juliette Binoche�s because I never understood why she ended up in the situation and state she ended up in.
Although the movie deals with religion, it isn�t �preachy� by any means, but religion was crammed down our throats. There was an underlying metaphor of religion to spelling that was pampered throughout the film but it just plain didn�t work. I was happy the film didn�t push any one particular religion, but then again, it didn�t really take the time to focus on any one belief. The film tried to say too much and in the end, didn�t say anything at all.
Commentary by Albert Berger and Naomi Foner Gyllenhaal: Ms. Gyllenhaal nailed it right on the head in this commentary when she talked about how difficult it was to balance so many spiritual journeys in one film. Personally, after hearing her talk, I think she should have directed the film because I can tell she read the book. Overall, this commentary is really good and is enjoyable if you liked the film or not.
Deleted Scenes (6:25): The movie was a little slow to begin with and many of these scenes served no purpose. I was also frustrated because many of these �deleted scenes� were one or two lines cut out from scenes from the movie.
Making of Bee Season (5:30): This is a featurette on what the actors thought about the movie. It�s better than your standard fluff piece, but not by much. What you need to know is that Richard Gere learned how to play the violin for the role and that Max Minghella has a very thick British accent that he curbed for the movie.
The Cutting Room Floor (3:44): This is a simple montage of deleted moments from the film. I typically like these montages and it�s a nice way of including stuff that isn�t long enough to be considered a full scene. If you look closely, you can actually see Flora Cross smile.
The Essence of Bee Season (6:24): We get some professors talking about the deeper meaning of BEE SEASON. I question whether they�re talking about the movie or the book. They explain it well enough, but I didn�t see what they�re talking about in the film. This could help you if you were confused with the movie.
There are also some Trailers.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 188.8.131.52
i wasnt sure where to put this post, this was the best place i could find so sorry if it shouldnt be here.
im writing a python cgi script and in one script i generate a list of tuples containing strings such as:
[('Cambridge', 'Cambridge job', 'images/slideshow/Cambridge.jpg'), ('Porsche', "It's a Porsche", 'images/slideshow/Porsche.jpg'), ('Ferrari', "It's a Ferrari", 'images/slideshow/Ferrari.jpg'), ('Lambo', 'Lamborghini', 'images/slideshow/Lambo.jpg'), ('Koenigsegggggggggggggggggggggggg', 'Can you spell that please?', 'images/slideshow/Koenigsegg.jpg')]
and then use this to generate an html page. once the form on this new page has been submitted, i somehow need to get access to this list data again so it can be proccessed by the next script. the data cant be put into a hidden field because of the mix of single of double quotes it may contain (plus the length it could possibly be may cause issues with the post method) and i have been unsuccessful with cookies because only strings can be put into cookies (unless i use a smartcookie but they are deprecated due to security issues).
can anyone help me please. i have spent half a day trying different methods to no avail. i still think cookies are the best way to do this, but im not sure how to implement it.
you can put the data in a hidden field if you first replace all double quotes in the string with the " html entity.

Call the Blogger: Monitor Mix
My new favorite blog, from my favorite guitar player. Seriously. Link: NPR: Monitor Mix. Listen to the bridge and transition into the chorus of "Start Together" from "The Hot Rock" someday when you're driving, and tell me it's not just a mind-blowing guitar arrangement. Super simple, but dizzying in effect. And, don't get me started on the drumming either.
I Really Will Take This Blogging Thing Seriously, But First
I try to keep this blog pretty bland and non-personal. There are plenty of reasons why, but mainly i live a very boring life and the world doesn't need that boredom inflicted on it. With all that is going poorly across the globe, i don't feel my pissing and moaning would make things better or worse. So, i pretty much stick to dumb stuff like "irish hotties", "golf porn", and "Multiple ipods on XP". At least, that's what my referrer logs say.
But, evidently, this site is read by others, and i've gotten a few emails from former coworkers and old friends asking where i've been. Short answer: in a dark hole, and at a new job. Longer answer: Below.
September & October:
– Traveling back and forth to De Pere WI every weekend, watching Cancer kill my mother from the inside out, and my father helpless for the first time in my (and his)
– Some insights into the problematic way i've been avoiding stress, emotions, and a couple other things. THey come home to roost, and I have to start dealing with them.
– Fantastic new job starts.
– I finished my second Chequamagon Fat Tire Festival, cutting 14 minutes off my time. Start looking to next year.
November & December:
– Still on the road to De Pere every weekend
– Feeling pretty low, but at the same time, more optimistic than ever about my future.
– Sad to see my beloved brother crushed, too, dealing with difficult times himself
– Mom dies. Dad crushed. Family shattered.
– Meet Bob, a wise man, who can help me make sense of a couple questions i've struggled with for a while. Glad to have met him!
– Holidays are weird with mom gone. She's as present as ever, but not there at all. Stressful and tenative. Moreso than ever. But, Dickensian ending where we all hold hands and gain deeper, richer appreciation for the importance of having family to lean on and share pain with. Good times. Seriously.
– New job is awesome.
– Trip to Uruguay with Dad and my brother and family friends. Great trip, but missed the family
– A. goes to Las Vegas
– Trip to Google, blown mind. Great possibility. This internet thing is going to be huge!
– Feeling pretty good about the future
– Start riding my bike again (!) and feel better already. Looking forward to Fat Tire fest in September
– Stop riding my bike due to work and sickness
– Fantastic weekends at the cabin in WI, skating on the pond, making fires on the pond, great quality time with family.
– Feeling very positive about the future
– More time at cabin (!)
– Great trip to AZ, with a bunch of bike riding thrown in.
– Start shopping for a carbon fiber bike to buy this summer
– Work is still going well
– The future is bright, I'm looking at shades
– Take Cooper to Kids Choice Awards 2007. Best trip of a lifetime ever.
A couple other things:
– Amy Winehouse is fantastic, and her new album is dynamite. Buy it today.
– Listening to a lot of old Buffalo Tom
– Love the John Hodgeman book/audio CD. Extremely false and equally funny.
– Still trying to get in shape. That 15 lb weight loss is unicorn-esque, but I will capture it one day!
– Looking at boats. Seriously. Runabouts, you know, for the kids! At the lake!
All is good. Its getting better all the time.
Thanks for reading. Seriously.

Marc Jacobs? Checked. Armani? Checked, well, now. Lastly – necessarily air brushing? Very checked.
The images are stunning – black and white alongside Victoria Beckham modelling the line's lingerie. Plan to see her for awhile – it's said that her three year deal with the company is estimated at approximately $24.6 million.
I love how we can read in the media about the economic downturn and recession, yet callously toss around several million for a celebrity to prance around in clothing for three years and get paid enough to feed a nation.
Bitter? Non, more envious and entralled at the idea of seeing the new brand association come to life. Love you Vic.

This is part two of my Comet Boys Track preview with Head Comet Boys Track Coach Ryan Rawmiller. Although this is the first year at the helm of the Comet Boys Track Program, Coach Rawmiller comes in with plenty experience including being the Middle School Track Coach for nine years and being the current Varsity Boys Cross Country Coach. In addition to that experience, Coach Rawmiller says he has been fortunate to be welcomed with great assistant coaches.
Along with those great assistant coaches, according to Rawmiller has some outstanding senior leadership with some state experience.
Coach Rawmiller was also quick to talk about several other key contributors to this year's team.
The Comet Boys Track team will continue their season with the Northeast Iowa Conference Indoor Meet coming up on Tuesday at Wartburg College in Waverly. I would like to thank Coach Rawmiller for his time and wish his squad the best of luck this season.

Links to picture(s); Once I fix somethings on it I'll post them
Timeline: November 09 (When we agreed to switch the outfit I made the original order back in March of 09)- August 10
Describe your Experience: Good God where to start on this woman... I started back in March of 09 ordering; Hellsing pip (Entire outfit), Nerima Daikon brothers (jacket) , Junjou romantica (vest) Kuroshitsuji Undertaker and Needed it done by May for Animazment. I've had her before and It was a hit or miss with her. May gets around with promises that she'll complete it all by the needed date. A week before the Con I ask for photos and Ask where my stuff is. I forgot the Response I got But it Indicated that She JUST started working on Undertaker all because I noticed that there was No progress and I Wanted to have my stuff so I lied to her and told her I was in a Skit and needed the outfit BY that Weekend. (Fellow Cosplayers there is very few times you should lie, Especially if your cosplay is on the line ~_~ ) The weekend of the con came up and She Overnight shipped it to me at the con. No problems Except I Ordered 4 Cosplays Not One. The con Comes and Goes and I contacted her asking where the rest of my stuff is. We have on and off contact until that November when we decide to Forgot bout the cosplay that I ordered and Replace the entire order for Soi Fongs outfit. *TIME SKIP FROM NOV-MAY* May rolls around and I Got tired of hearing nothing.

Money market report for the week ended April 5
ECB decisions
On Thursday, April 4, the Governing Council of the European Central Bank (ECB) decided to keep the interest rate on the main refinancing operations (MRO) unchanged at 0.75 per cent. Interest rates on the marginal lending facility and on the deposit facility were also left unchanged at 1.50 per cent and 0.00 per cent, respectively.
ECB monetary operations
On Thursday, March 28, the ECB announced its weekly MRO. The auction was conducted on Tuesday, April 2, and attracted bids from euro area eligible counterparties of €124.88 billion, €1.64 billion higher than the bid amount in the previous week. The amount was allotted in full at a fixed rate equivalent to the prevailing MRO rate of 0.75 per cent, in accordance with current ECB policy.
On Tuesday, April 2, the ECB conducted an auction for a seven-day fixed-term deposit intended to absorb €205.5 billion. This operation was designed to sterilise the effect of purchases made under the Securities Markets Programme that were settled but had not yet matured by the previous Friday, March 29. The auction was carried out at a variable rate, with euro area eligible counterparties allowed to place up to four bids at a maximum rate of 0.75 per cent. It attracted bids amounting to €270.44 billion, with the ECB allotting €205.5 billion or 75.99 per cent of the total bid amount. The marginal rate on the auction was set at 0.07 per cent, with the weighted average rate at 0.04 per cent.
On Wednesday, April 3, the ECB conducted a seven-day US dollar funding operation through collateralised lending in conjunction with the US Federal Reserve. This operation attracted bids of $1.2 billion, which was allotted in full at a fixed rate of 0.65 per cent.
Domestic Treasury bill market
In the domestic primary market for Treasury bills, the Treasury invited tenders for 182-day bills maturing on October 4. Bids of €25.6 million were submitted, with the Treasury accepting the full amount. Since €38.85 million worth of bills matured during the week, the outstanding balance of Treasury bills decreased by €13.25 million, to stand at €275.35 million.
The yield from the 182-day bill auction was 0.857 per cent, i.e. 8.8 basis points higher than on bills with a similar tenor issued on March 22, representing a bid price of 99.5686 per 100 nominal.
During the week under review, there was no trading on the Malta Stock Exchange.
Today the Treasury will invite tenders for 91-day bills and 182-day bills maturing on July 12 and October 11 respectively.
