- Not a relaxed eveningOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/13/2014We had a reservation for four at 7pm. We have dined at Seasons 52 Fort Lauderdale for years with never a complaint. The energy in the JAX location was negative. It was all hustle not relaxed dining. The food is wonderful however. The menu is always imaginative and since it changes there ar always new dishes. Chef has it down. Only negative brussels sprouts were cold and not sufficiently cooked. Another negative is that even with an advance reservations we were seated near the kitchen which in this case was a bad choice as the manager was obviously being very tough on the poor nice staff and we could see this.Special Features:
- deniseDined on 9/13/2014We sat in the way back and it was quite noisy. I like sitting in the bar area the best. I enjoy the quietness and ambiance. We had dinner at 7pm on a Sat and I am sad to say as we were disappointed. The food quality was like red lobster and the service was not good. The chef came out to our table twice which was extra special to me but other than that we will not be back for a long time. Thank youSpecial Features:

- Returning to Healthier LifestyleBuenProvechoDined on 9/9/2014Seasons was recommended by someone from my fitness class; we dined for my birthday dinner. This is a great special occasion restaurant for fitness/health-minded people who want to celebrate with an enjoyable meal, but want to stay on track with their food choices. We shared a bottle of wine and spinach salad. I had the scallops, and my husband had the quail. Sometimes I worry about my husband's manly appetite being satisfied at higher-end fancy restaurants, but we took our time enjoying the wine and meal, and he said he was content with the portion size. Since it was our first time/my birthday, we received complimentary dessert, which was a nice touch. The quality of ingredients and preparation of our meal were exceptional.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent Celebration DinnerJanicePDined on 9/6/2014Wonderful, fresh fall menu featuring unique preparations of fall vegetables. Filet was cooked to perfection. Wine recommendation from server was spot on.Special Features:

- Happy anniversaryBuckethead33Dined on 8/29/2014We were celebrating our anniversary. The restaurant had champagne waiting on us. They so brought us a complimentary card and also they took a picture for us to remember the evening. I didn't even mention the great food. Wonderful evening.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Nice occasional diningBillDined on 8/29/2014The service was fantastic. The staff went out of their way to make us feel welcome. Other then that nothing really wowed us. They're really big on fresh vegetables which adds to the flavor unless you happen to not care for their selection. My wife likes her steak medium well and it had to be sent back twice. The chief came out both times and comp'd us the meal but still... Overall, we'll go back again. Not in a rush though.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great for lunch or dinnerPVBresidentDined on 8/26/2014The food is always well prepared and very flavorful. I can't believe they do it all for under 475 calories!Special Features:

- Great Dinner!BJANDined on 8/24/2014My wife and I had been meaning to try this resturant for some time, and we finally made it. Great choice and will be going back. The food is fresh, made great, and good portions. Our server was fantastic, not in your face, just nice to deal with. They have live music in the background around the bar area, but this is not so overwhelming like many other resturants to were you can't hear yourself think. Just a great overall experience, and I highly recommend this resturant.Special Features:
- Met all expectationstravelerDined on 8/24/2014Having dined at Seasons 52 in both Atlanta and Tampa, I knew what to expect. Good service, nice atmosphere, excellently prepared menu. All as i expected.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great value for Dining out weekdatenightdiningDined on 8/23/2014We had a wonderful 5 course meal for $30 during the special value dining out week. All entrees were delicious in our party of 5. Excellent service and quieter table was given as requested on reservation. Outstanding experience and value. Normal portion sizes were served for all courses.Special Features:
- Enjoyable AmbiancePilotageDined on 8/22/2014We arrived 30 minutes early on Friday, for a 19:30 reservation and we seated right away. I brought a bottle of Purple Angel by Montes, and requested that it be decanted right away. The only notable negative during our dining was that the decanter did not appear to be clean. The glass was covered with milky white spots as was the neck and rim. I didn't bring this up to the waiter as it was a moot point, and for a change I didn't want to complain about anything. The food was delicious as usual. It would have been nice to see a beef entrée on the Chef's seasonal menu.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Terrible Servicebacon2Dined on 8/20/2014While the food (when it actually got to our table) was good, the service was atrocious! We waited and waited for everything. We were a party of five celebrating my son's birthday. Everyone got their food except my husband. To be polite we all waited for at least 5 mins. before he got his. The server was horrible. AND they overcharged us $60.00 for two extra meals.
- Awesomely ConsistenceFoodsnobsDined on 8/18/2014Have never been disappointed by food, service or ambience. Favorite restaurant in Jax.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- EpicurusEpicuriusVIPDined on 8/17/2014Excellent food, great ambiance and service. You can have a tasty meal without breaking the scale. Great to relax and enjoy great food and company.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wonderful Servicelove2dineVIPDined on 8/16/2014Jeff, our server, was very attentive and entertaining. He made the experience memorable! Ambiance was nice and food was good. The bathrooms needed a little tending to though...low toilet paper, either no soap or could not get dispenser to work.Special Features:
- Generally like this placejjbellDined on 8/16/2014We usually really like this place but this visit wasn't as good. I think our server was new and we had some issues although he was nice.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Overal not a bad placeShabnamGordanDined on 8/16/2014I took my husband to this place for his birthday dinner. The atmosphere is nice and romantic. The food was okay. The only excellent thing about this place is their vegetarian friendly menu. However the rest of the menu is nothing to brag about. You can pretty much find the same items in any other restaurant's menu as well. my husband ordred the filet mignon and he was not wowed by it. He said Carrabba's make better ones. The prices were reasonable. I also like that they had a wide range of wine selections.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A favorite to visit often!NonaDined on 8/15/2014When you want well prepared, seasonal food this is the place. Enjoyed seeing how the chef created his dishes for that night.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DisappointedDined on 8/15/2014Went for our 24th wedding anniversary and that was HUGE a mistake. Too many other GREAT places in town to eat and spend your money.
- RetiredStaugustinegals90201Dined on 8/15/2014Had lunch with family and it was very nice, food was great...very fresh. Waiter was very friendly. Over all we had a great lunch Will go back for sureSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- May not be for large groupsbstecherDined on 8/14/2014It was my wife's birthday, and we had a group of 11. Our service was lacking and our orders were incorrect. When we were ready to order our meals, there was no server in sight. When people in our party requested their meal to come out with the main course that did not happen. Wrong drinks were brought to the table and to wrap up the evening, our checks were all incorrect. We had a group of people that have been there before and some new to the restaurant. After our experience I cannot say the new people will be back. My wife an I enjoy Seasons 52 so I know we will return.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

We had a wonderful stay on the Shookup Shark! The view was spectacular. We sat with our drinks and watched the paddle boarders in the water and thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it! The boat was a perfect size for the 4 of us and Charleston was lovely. Joel and his wife met us and made us feel very welcome and gave great advice on dining option. We'll definitely do it again!

I've always found it interesting that Israelis have the right to defend themselves, while I've never heard a single peep from any major media or government officials about Palestinians' rights to the same.But Palestinians don't have to defend themselves: they're under the protection of Israel. In fact, it's as true today as it was in Golda Meir's time: "there are no Palestinians." There is only Israel.
How many rockets hit Israel before Israel struck back?How many of those rockets actually injured people?
Do you consider that the Palestinians had a right to commit approximately 8600 rocket attacks againstAgain, how many of those rockets caused any injuries? As far as I know, only a handful and only a few people (if any) were killed.
Ignoring causality only continues the killing.There is a difference between "causality" and "who started it". The problem is you go right down the rabbit hole of arguing whether or not something counts as a 'provocation' or not. Israel bombs gaza because Hamas fired rockets because Israel fired a few rockets because Hamas was digging a tunnel because Israel closed the border because bla, bla bla. It's a completely pointless argument.
This argument is problematic to the extent to which it creates an equation in which it is Israel's interest to suffer more losses and thereby "even things out."No, it does not. In fact, that's a completely insane thing to say.
The rockets are actually perfectly capable of killing people.Except, they didn't. IIRC they killed only one or two people. Israel responded by an offensive that killed 1,400 people or something like that. That's not a proportional response.
I would want the U.S. to do whatever it could to destroy that enemy's capacity to bomb me again, while minimizing civilian casualties in that action as far as possible.Why does it matter to me, or anyone else what you want? Massacring people isn't okay because you "want" to do it.
The answer is: probably not a terrorist organization whose goal is to permanently end Israel and which regularly attacks Israel and Israelis at present and throughout the history of its existenceHamas "wants" to end Israel, and that's an insurmountable problem, yet Israel has in fact succeeded in ending Palestine and continues to occupy the west bank, and that's not?
At minimum I hoped that in the face of a clear finding that its members were committing serious war crimes, Hamas would curtail its attacks. Sadly, that has not been the case. Hundreds more rockets and mortar rounds have been directed at civilian targets in southern Israel.
Israel has to be a violent state, because they are surrounded by people who want to kill them and take their land. However, Palestine cannot be a violent state, even though they are surrounded by people who are killing them and have taken their land.I will never understand this line of thinking.
These are houses within large towns, towns that will certainly remain part of Israel under any peace settlement.Of course they will, because the only type of "peace settlement" that Israel will agree to is one with a bigger Israel.
Israel is a sovereign state and has the right to protect itself.Palestine is not a sovereign state, and it doesn't.
During the 1948 War, around 10,000 Jews were forced to evacuate their homes in Palestine or Israel, but in the three years following the war, 700,000 Jews settled in Israel, mainly along the borders and in former Arab lands. ( source )According to what I've read, between 400,000 and 700,000 Palestinians were forced off of their land in the 1948 War. If it's worth it to you to keep the war going for the pride of 10,000 citizens who are probably dead, I guess that's one choice. Another could be to honor their desire to have a safe homeland by ending the colonization of Palestine.
The scene was both pathetic and outrageous. The last of Netanyahu's devoted followers, who believe he is the man who will bring peace, would have immediately changed their minds. Presidents Barack Obama and Shimon Peres, who continue to maintain that Netanyahu will bring peace, would be talking differently had they seen this secretly filmed video clip. Even the objection of Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas to conducting direct negotiations with the man from the video would be understandable. What is there to discuss with a huckster whose sole purpose is "to give 2 percent in order to prevent 100 percent," as his father told him, quoting his grandfather.The Palestinians are not going to roll over and allow Israel to take the rest of Palestine. They will fight back with every desperate tactic they can think of, and they are. The problem with this line of thought is that the United States is currently the only nation willing to arm Israel for free. If Israel refuses to stop the settlements and refuses to negotiate, it is only increasing the likelihood that one day a truly well armed Arab force will invade. And since you continue to establish the precedent that might makes right, they may well destroy all Israeli military targets that are not within the 1967 borders.
Israel has had many rightist leaders since Menachem Begin promised "many Elon Morehs," but there has never been one like Netanyahu, who wants to do it by deceit, to mock America, trick the Palestinians and lead us all astray. The man in the video betrays himself in his own words as a con artist, and now he is again prime minister of Israel. Don't try to claim that he has changed since then. Such a crooked way of thinking does not change over the years.
Forget the Bar-Ilan University speech, forget the virtual achievements in his last visit to the United States; this is the real Netanyahu. No more claims that the Palestinians are to blame for the failure of the Oslo Accords. Netanyahu exposed the naked truth to his hosts at Ofra: he destroyed the Oslo accords with his own hands and deeds, and he's even proud of it. After years in which we were told that the Palestinians are to blame, the truth has emerged from the horse's mouth.
And how did he do it? He recalled how he conditioned his signing of the 1997 Hebron agreement on American consent that there be no withdrawals from "specified military locations," and insisted he choose those same locations, such as the whole of the Jordan Valley, for example. "Why is that important? Because from that moment on I stopped the Oslo Accords," he boasts. The real Netanyahu also brags about his knowledge of America: "I know what America is. America is something that can be moved easily." For the White House's information. ( source )
Israel has cancelled work permits for 45,000 Palestinians who worked inside Israel, cut off the Gaza Strip from any external contact, vastly restricted imports of consumer goods, uprooted crops from thousands of hectares of orchards and imposed a curfew that is so severe that people find it difficult to get even to hospitals, let alone places of work. Sewage plants, irrigation systems, power facilities, radio towers, roads and airport runways have been the favourite bombing targets. All exit and entry points are controlled by Israelis, air links have been cut off, and a maze of networks control the movement of Palestinians within their neighbourhoods. In the Gaza Strip, all of which is surrounded by barbed wire, there are two main roads for the Palestinians, both of which have been bombed or bulldozed. Even the Palestine Central Bureau of Statistics had its computers ransacked and its files destroyed. And Arafat is of course under house arrest in Ramallah, with high-tech armour surrounding his residence.If your standards meant anything, you would hold the Israeli government to account for their role in the violence. Hamas can say they want to destroy Israel, even if they have no way to do it except for desperate acts of terrorism, and you call them criminals. Israel can create blueprints for destroying out the Palestinian people, carry it out, but as long as they only accidentally kill Palestinians and keep their entire culture on life support and expect Palestinians to grin and bear the occupation, and then use any flare up as an excuse to take more from them, you seem to have no problem with the intent or effect of the Israeli government's actions.
The policy thus seems to have three objectives:
1. To beat the populace into abject submission through military assault, political repression, encirclement and starvation;
2. The permanent destruction of infrastructure as well as the Palestinian Authority as such, so that living conditions become so insufferable that sizeable numbers of people would be forced to flee the occupied territories;
3. The toppling of Arafat and negotiating with local leaders so that the leaders become the equivalent of the "chiefs" in colonial Africa and are then made to manage the remaining population on the model of the Bantustans in apartheid South Africa. Nelson Mandela's old remark that the Israeli occupation of Palestinian territories was "worse than apartheid" is thus becoming remorselessly true.
Alex Fishman, who is reputed to have excellent connections with top security officials, reported in Yediot Aharanot, the rightwing Israeli daily, in December 2001 that Sharon had prepared a plan to get rid of Arafat "even before the election" of February 2001. . .
Similarly, Foreign Report (Jane's Information Group) of July 12, 2001 disclosed a plan by the Israeli Army for an "all-out assault to smash the Palestinian Authority, force out leader Yasser Arafat and kill or detain its army". The blueprint, titled "The Destruction of the Palestinian Authority and Disarmament of All Armed Forces", was presented to the Israeli government by Chief of Staff Shaul Mofaz on July 8 and envisages the suicide bombings by the Hamas militants as sufficient justification for it. ( source )
The starting date of the Second Intifada is disputed. One source records the start of the uprising as September 27, 2000, "when a Palestinian security officer on a joint patrol with Israeli forces turned his firearm on his Israeli counterpart and murdered him"; however this incident, referring to Yossi Tabaji, took place on the 29th. More commonly cited is September 28, 2000, when Palestinian rioting erupted following Ariel Sharon's visit to the Temple Mount, an area known to Muslims as Al-Haram Al-Sharif. Still others believe it started a day later on Friday September 29, a day of prayers, when an Israeli police and military presence was introduced and there were major clashes and deaths. . . In the first five days of rioting and clashes after the visit, Israeli police and security forces killed 47 Palestinians and wounded 1885, while Palestinians killed 5 Israelis.The deaths of Hamas combatants are not a "fault" of anyone, they are a credit to the marksmanship of those who dispatch them.
A war of aggression, sometimes also war of conquest, is a military conflict waged without the justification of self-defense usually for territorial gain and subjugation. The phrase is distinctly modern and diametrically opposed to the prior legal international standard of "might makes right", under the medieval and pre-historic beliefs of right of conquest. Since the Korean War of the early 1950s, waging such a war of aggression is a crime under the customary international law. It is generally agreed by scholars in international law that the military actions of the Nazi regime in World War II in its search for so-called "Lebensraum" are characteristic of a war of aggression, the waging of which was called the supreme crime by Justice Robert H. Jackson, chief prosecutor for the United States at the Nuremberg Trials.Israeli policy is land for peace, land for war. Arafat chose to resume war within days of starting the Oslo process. And so, Israeli expansion continued. Ain't life a bitch.
Israel was one of the countries behind the ICC initiative, but changed its stance at the last minute, once settlements in the territories were included in the list of serious crimes under the court's jurisdiction. At the end of 2000, following an intense debate in the government, Israel signed the Rome Statute from which the International Criminal Court was established, but said it would not ratify its signature because of concerns that the institution would be used for political ends. Since then, Israel has stuck by its refusal to join the ICC and be answerable to its judgments.posted by notion at 7:56 PM on April 3, 2011
Barak said that "Israel is part of the international community, and it must conduct itself in accordance with the interpretation that is common in international law." As president of the Supreme Court, Barak changed an entrenched approach that rejected court involvement in security considerations. In a ruling on the issue of the route of the separation fence, he established the formula of "reason and proportionality" in the exercise of security authority in the territories. His approach also guided the current court president, Justice Dorit Beinisch, in last week's ruling regarding the use of Route 443 by Palestinians.
The Organization and its Members, in pursuit of the Purposes stated in Article 1, shall act in accordance with the following Principles.So, Israel is subject to International Law under the UN Charter, and according to the Supremacy Clause in Article 103, they have to abide by the UN Charter if it conflicts with any other international agreement. Even though Israel has kept the Palestinian territories in a legal black hole - the ICC is currently trying to determine if it can qualify as a state and sue Israel - that does not absolve them of their legal obligations.
1. The Organization is based on the principle of the sovereign equality of all its Members.
2. All Members, in order to ensure to all of them the rights and benefits resulting from membership, shall fulfill in good faith the obligations assumed by them in accordance with the present Charter.
3. All Members shall settle their international disputes by peaceful means in such a manner that international peace and security, and justice, are not endangered.
4. All Members shall refrain in their international relations from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state, or in any other manner inconsistent with the Purposes of the United Nations.
103. In the event of a conflict between the obligations of the Members of the United Nations under the present Charter and their obligations under any other international agreement, their obligations under the present Charter shall prevail.
In 1950, the Nuremberg Tribunal defined Crimes against Peace, in Principle VI, specifically Principle VI(a), submitted to the United Nations General Assembly, as:I had to refer to WikiPedia again, because you lack a fundamental understanding of international law.
(i) Planning, preparation, initiation or waging of a war of aggression or a war in violation of international treaties, agreements or assurances;
(ii) Participation in a common plan or conspiracy for the accomplishment of any of the acts mentioned under (i). . .
The relevant provisions of the Charter of the United Nations mentioned in the RSICC article 5.2 were framed to include the Nuremberg Principles. The specific principle is Principle VI.a "Crimes against peace", which was based on the provisions of the London Charter of the International Military Tribunal that was issued in 1945 and formed the basis for the post World War II war crime trials. The Charters provisions based on the Nuremberg Principle VI.a are:
Article 1
Article 2, paragraph 4
Article 33
Article 39
Hamas politburo chief Khaled Mashaal on Wednesday urged supporters around the world on to send Hamas arms, fighters and money to back its fight against Israel.They're saying 'Won't you please send us money so we can kill the Jews' and telling those same Jews, 'We promise not to slaughter you, we swear.'
"We ask all the people in surrounding Arab countries, the Muslim world and everyone who wants to support us to send weapons, money and men," Mashaal said in a speech at a pro-Palestinian event in Qatar.
Hundreds of civilians were killed in attacks carried out using high-precision weapons -- air-delivered bombs and missiles, and tank shells. Others, including women and children, were shot at short range when posing no threat to the lives of the Israeli soldiers. Aerial bombardments launched from Israeli F-16 combat aircraft targeted and destroyed civilian homes without warning, killing and injuring scores of their inhabitants, often while they slept. Children playing on the roofs of their homes or in the street and other civilians going about their daily business, as well as medical staff attending the wounded were killed in broad daylight by Hellfire and other highly accurate missiles launched from helicopters and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), or drones, and by precision projectiles fired from tanks.Interestingly, none of this is contradicted by Richard Goldstone's statement that "civilians were not intentionally targeted as a matter of policy."
Scores of civilians were also killed and injured by less precise weapons, such as artillery shells and mortars, and flechette tank shells, which can be accurately aimed but which disperse thousands of deadly metal darts at great velocity over a large area.
White phosphorus, a highly incendiary substance, was repeatedly fired indiscriminately over densely populated residential areas, killing and wounding civilians and destroying civilian property. [...]
Israeli forces could not conceivably have been unaware of the presence of civilians in locations which were repeatedly attacked, including with white phosphorus and other imprecise weapons, given that these areas were under close surveillance by Israeli drones.
Even though Israeli officials knew from the first days of Operation "Cast Lead" that civilians were killed and wounded in significant numbers, Israeli forces continued to employ the same tactics for the entire duration of the 22-day offensive, resulting in growing numbers of civilian casualties. The pattern of attacks and the resulting high number of civilian fatalities and casualties showed elements of reckless conduct, disregard for civilian lives and property and a consistent failure to distinguish between military targets and civilians and civilian objects.
Amnesty's report has two fundamental flaws.What are they? You only listed ad hominem attacks on Amnesty, nothing about the report itself.
The IDF believes that about two thirds of Hamas' underground rocket launch sites in the northern Gaza Strip were destroyed in the first round of Air Force sorties, on Saturday.Yes, if the Israelis were targeting civilians indiscriminately, they would be wrong to do so. I see disproportionate attacks here, but not "indiscriminate" ones.
Additional bunkers were destroyed in the days that followed, after a way was found of striking them when civilians were not in the vicinity.
The IDF has made frequent use of what is known as "knocking on the roof": Militants are warned by phone when a residential building used to store arms will be bombed, and told to vacate the premised together with their neighbors. The weapons caches are hit only after the residents leave.
Hamas has tried placing civilians on the roofs of such buildings when the phone call warning comes in. In these cases, the IDF fired antitank missiles near the building, and in a few cases the residents left.

Sources in the defense establishment said Defense Minister Ehud Barak instructed the Israel Defense Forces to prepare for the operation over six months ago, even as Israel was beginning to negotiate a ceasefire agreement with Hamas. According to the sources, Barak maintained that although the lull would allow Hamas to prepare for a showdown with Israel, the Israeli army needed time to prepare, as well.Joe, don't be so fucking petty and try to insinuate that I'm a racist. If that's what you think, come out and say it. I'm merely commenting on the recorded reality of IDF strategy.
Barak gave orders to carry out a comprehensive intelligence-gathering drive which sought to map out Hamas' security infrastructure, along with that of other militant organizations operating in the Strip.
This intelligence-gathering effort brought back information about permanent bases, weapon silos, training camps, the homes of senior officials and coordinates for other facilities.
The plan of action that was implemented in Operation Cast Lead remained only a blueprint until a month ago, when tensions soared after the IDF carried out an incursion into Gaza during the ceasefire to take out a tunnel which the army said was intended to facilitate an attack by Palestinian militants on IDF troops.

About the Women of Achievement celebration
Celebrating women's lives -- filled with courage, strength and determination -- is valuable for us all. This belief was the motivation for the Women of Achievement Celebration, which was founded in 1984 by Pat Watne, Director of Women's Programs at Clark College.
Watne created an awards program that would commemorate National Women's History Month and International Women's Day in March. It would also recognize and honor local women for their outstanding community contributions.
During the first few years, women were honored at a small tea held on the Clark College campus. In 1991, YWCA Clark County joined with Clark College in sponsoring the Women of Achievement Celebration.
During the celebration's 23 years, 184 extraordinary women have been recognized. Today, the Women of Achievement celebration is Southwest Washington's largest event honoring women.

Very nice gallery, amazing work!
A real living masterpiece!
The most beautiful living porcelain doll. Den smukkeste levende porcelænsdukke.
You are so beautiful and the stock photos are very useful. Sometimes though it's hard if I'm trying to use them as a reference since I cannot see your eyes clearly from all the make up which you don't need.
Excellent contrast between the Gothic rudeness and a ballerina's delicacy and smoothness.
Fremragende kontrast mellem det gotiske uhøflighed og delikatesse og glathed af en ballerina.
This is crazy amazing! You're so beautiful and I love your makeups and outfits!!
Maria, you are an angel.
Really wish I could afford a model like you. Beautiful pictures in a style I really like. Hope to make these myself one day....
My nephew said "is that Elsa?" I'm looking at your new fairy stock and he's behind me going "is that Elsa?" I didn't bother saying that wasn't your name XD Even my 6 yr old nephew finds you just like Elsa...heehee. I love all of your images...so beautiful!

What is a good street carb?
What street carb would you recommend for a fairly angry 383 Stroker with a 600 lift cam and about 11:1 compression? Currently it has a racing carb on it that is about 850cfm with mechanical secondaries. In this set up it like to load up and foul out plugs at idle or part cruising. Im looking to tame the car down a bit for the street, not a daily driver but a weekend warrior. Im looking for something I can install and drive out of the box with the minor adjustments..
Recommendations and why?
the 850 you have is probably the correct carb.The cam you have is not what everybody likes.I have a cam like that and use a bigger carb and it behaves fine.It takes awhile to learn how to tune it.
Please post your fuel pressure at the carb inlet.
post the brand of carb you have and the list number on the airhorn. or model number,etc.
You do not need a new carb and you cannot buy a magic carb that will run perfect out of the box.
You need to dial in the one you got ..The problem is more if a ignition set up problem than the
What cam?
what Distributor
Timing curve, base timing at idle??
what carb model number pri jets sec jets,,, power valve.
What intake manifold? Auto trans? Converter stall speed? manual transmsision?
Fill in the blanks.
Can show you how to set it all up to run clean, not load up and not foul plugs.
Its a matter of set up details not a i need a new carb problem.
The carb is not too big.
you need to regulate that pressure down.may need to take the carb apart and check needle and seat.what kind of carb is it?
Same guy back again looking for that magic carb.
You didn't take my advice last time.
Your last radical motor needed a specific setup which explained to you in detail
but you don;t ant to listen. This engine is going to be no different.
When you set it up right it will run right and drive fine on the street.
reread the last go around and do it this time.
Fuel flow into the carburetor bowl is controlled by a needle and seat arrangement. Excessive fuel pressure will unload the needle and seat and blow raw fuel into the intake manifold, creating the problems you posted.
Most of you younguns have grown up with EFI, where you can make more horsepower with more fuel pressure. Carburetors are a completely different ballgame. Get your fuel pressure down to 5 to 5 1/2 psi before you do anything else.
Carb: Dillman Racing Carb
plugs: NGK V power 7 R5671A-7
Ignition: MSD 6AL
Coil:MSD Blaster 2
Cam: Lunati #50199LUN
I have the reciepts for the engine and spoke to the engine builder. Was told it was a 383 punched out to a 389 and about 11.0:1 compression
Rear gears are :308's
Tranny is a Jerico 4 speed
Does this help?
The carbon in the carb and the carbon sparl plugs show its severly carboned up.
You gave no usefull info. The cam part number is the custom grind cam order number
Tells you nothing.
it looks like you have a race car bolted to your race carb and race engine.what are you trying to accomplish? are you racing it? curious how you like the jerico? I considered it but with out a speedo I went with a street friendly tko.
that carb is obviously a holley thats been modified

BLACKSBURG, Va. (AP) — Virginia Tech students and employees now have a system that can help them predict bus arrival times and give other information about their public-transportation commute.
The VT Bus Tracker system was developed by a Virginia Tech computer science class. It's available online and through various mobile devices, and will be widely announced when students return to campus later this month.
Users can text their location and the Blacksburg Transit route they're interested in to a system phone number. Within seconds, it responds with the estimated arrival time and number of riders aboard the bus.
Blacksburg Transit, the town of Blacksburg, Google Inc. and the Virginia Tech Computer Science Department have contributed to the effort.

Life of Pi Reviews
Among movies that are intended to be spiritually insightful, this is one of the most hollow and disappointing that I've seen, a surface-level rendering of platitudinous feel-good hooey.
Full Review | Original Score: C
This movie is to be seen and experienced. It is not to be heard.
Full Review | Original Score: B
The New Republic
Veteran filmmakers will warn you, don't film at sea and don't work with animals. Ang Lee built a vast tank in Taiwan and he whips up awesome storms. [However,] watching the water here is more rewarding than watching the characters.
Sacramento Bee
Teenage acting newcomer Suraj Sharma, discovered through a casting call in India, gives Pi an earnestness and toughness that ground this elaborate story.
Full Review | Original Score: 4/4
Seven Days
The power of Life of Pi sneaks up on you, rather like the raw sadness of Lee's best-known previous prestige pic, Brokeback Mountain.
Full Review | Original Score: 8/10
The Patriot Ledger
Some of the most gorgeous 3D images this side of 'Avatar.'
Full Review | Original Score: B-
Movie Talk
Everywhere you look there are images of beguiling beauty: a mirror-like sea reflecting golden clouds; a sudden swarm of flying fish; an island bristling with meerkats; and a breaching whale glowing with bioluminescence as it leaps out of the water.
We Got This Covered
Ang Lee's Life of Pi is a visual masterpiece, often transcending the boundaries of special effects and what they're capable of, but the film's actual story is hollow.
Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/5
Cinema Sight
The search for religion takes a back seat to the spectacular visual splendor of a boy floating alone on the ocean with a vicious tiger.
Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/4
Movie Metropolis
"Life of Pi" isn't just a visual effects movie stuck at sea. There's a compelling story here as well.
Full Review | Original Score: 8/10
Cinema Crazed
Endorses the notion of blind faith, and denial as a positive character trait.
KWQC-TV (Iowa)
Mystical and endless as the number pi, 'The Life of Pi' works on a number of levels, all of them enchanting.
Full Review | Original Score: 4/4
Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Canada)
Takes some time to find its flow. The CGI-tiger is the greatest marvel here-the intensity of its stare alone makes it the truest fiction of all. Religious platitudes remain fairly pat; the final allegory's overstated.
Fan The Fire
The morals of the story don't come through, while the film's extensive metaphors are belatedly rammed down your throat like a get out of jail free card.
Full Review | Original Score: 2/5
Ang Lee's extraordinary, lyrical, beautiful, moving, genre-defying Life of Pi can be recommended with the simple, sweeping assurance that it is unlike anything you have ever seen before.
Full Review | Original Score: 4.5/5
A dazzling digital dreamscape that sets staggering new heights for what can be accomplished with 3D technology.
Full Review | Original Score: 4/5
Projection Booth
Martel's novel could have yielded a greater film in different hands, but Lee's work remains one to be grateful for.
The Standard
(Ang) Lee has gone above and beyond, executing the job with near flawless precision.
Full Review | Original Score: 5/5
Austin Chronicle
When adrift with Pi and the tiger on the open sea, the film is at its most wondrous: a ravishing spectacle that treads judiciously on the infinite line between what's possible and impossible.
Full Review | Original Score: 3/5
Boston Phoenix
Life poses as a spiritual experience, but it's more like a postcard.
Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4

okay i guess I'LL be the one to say it
about this/the art in general for Red Hood and the Outlaws…
This is adorable and all and made my heart get all dokidoki, but there is just one thing i cannot bring myself to unsee with RHTO art.
With the way the costumes/uniforms are drawn, they look like robots. Robots or cyborgs with only the heads covered in synthetic human flesh to give the artificial appearance of being human. But really with only mid-neck up appearing to be a human head and face on some kind of robotic body, it just freaks my shit.
I guess the costumes are drawn to be super detailed?? to look more like thick armor or something, but to me the neck area and gauntlets especially look more like they're actually mechanical parts of a cybernetic humanoid machine. Like a T1000 or something. It doesn't look organic, it looks cold and too 'futuristic space age'… idk its probably just me, but i cant unsee it.

Just wanted to give a range report on the new AK. It is a Arsenal sgl21 with UTG QD rail. A Vortex Sparc rides on top. I switched the trigger to a Tapco G2. I also added a Hogue grip which I like a lot more than the original. I also can testify that the trigger upgrade was worth the Money. It really cleaned up the trigger pull. The Arsenal circle ten 30rnders ran flawless and so did the gun. This was at 50 yards using the cheap Tula ammo. 5 rounds

Very nice. I have a SGL-31 myself that I'm in the process of adding some accessories on to.
Cool, what did you have in mind?
I have a Mako Collapsible stock, UTG 4 Rail Hand Guard, Magpul grip, and UTG quick disconnect side mount on the way . I originally thought I was going to keep it vanilla the way it came, but I'm going to do that with my next AK with wooden furniture. Do you plan on adding anything else to yours? Nice scope on top, I have one on the way too but its a ****ty one so I'm not going to mention it lol.
I don't think I'm gonna do anything else to this one. The Tapco trigger and the new grip was my "major" upgrades. I'm very pleased with these two, highly suggested. I really didn't want to pimp it out too much. I've been looking at Bulgarian kits in the 74 style or maybe converting a saiga. Not sure on which route to go. I'd like to have a 74 with wood furniture to cure my newly found AK bug. I may get some unfinished wood and do it myself. There is a video on YouTube where a guy uses a scarlet color rit dye with his poly and it turned out beautiful. Then it's on to the 1911 ( hopefully with next years tax return). Do you find that the Arsenal finish leaves a bit to be desired or are you happy with yours?
The DIY furniture sounds like an interesting project. When I find more time I'm going to have to look into that.
I'm actually looking into a handgun as my next purchase myself. XDm or M&P I think.
The finishing on the Arsenal is my only complaint about the gun. Its not too durable, and it started wearing after the first time out with it. Along the carrier and the rails in the receiver, the metal underneath started to show in spots. I'm not super mad about that. As long as its maintained properly I don't think it will do anything.
Iron Wood Designs has a great product catalog for most AK's if you want nice wood.

Jennifer Aniston and her boyfriend Justin Theroux are going strong.
Most people are happy for America's Sweetheart and her fast-track romance, but the Millionaire Matchmaker, Patti Stanger is not most people.
Nor is Patti Stanger one to mince words about Theroux, as we know.
Watch out, Jen, because "something's not right there," she says.
Patti Stanger spoke to Radar about Jen's new relationship and while she says Justin may be good for Jen, they should put the brakes on.
"I kind of like him, but here's my problem - he was with the last girl for 15-16 years and one day in walks the girl of his dreams and he just says bye, see ya, wouldn't want to be ya! There's a karmic payback for that."
"He's handsome and he likes her and she likes him, they've got good body language, so it's a matter of what really went down that he jumped ship from this girl he lived with for 16 years, something's not right there."
