Basmati rice exports have doubled in volume and tripled in value in the last four years on strong demand from traditional markets in Iran and West Asia. For the fiscal ended March 2014, shipments of basmati scaled a new high, touching 4.02 million tonnes and exceeded $4.5 billion in terms of value compared with the previous fiscal. Apart from increased demand, higher prices aided by a decline in rupee boosted basmati shipments to ₹28,189 crore, a 48 per cent growth over last year.

Basmati (Hindi: बासमती, Urdu: باسمتی, Punjabi: ਬਾਸਮਤੀ, Bengali: বাসমতী, Tamil: பாஸ்மதி, Kannada: ಭಾಸ್ಮತಿ, Oriya: ବାସୁମତୀ, Telugu: బాస్మతి) is a variety of long grain rice grown in India, Bangladesh and Pakistan, notable for its fragrance and delicate, nuanced flavour. Its name means "the fragrant one" in Sanskrit, but it can also mean "the soft rice". India is the largest cultivator, consumer and exporter of this rice; it is primarily grown through paddy field farming in the Punjab region.
The grains of basmati rice are longer than most other types of rice. Cooked grains of Basmati rice are characteristically free flowing rather than sticky, unlike most other kinds of long-grain rice. Cooked basmati rice can be uniquely identified by its fragrance. In addition to normal (white) Basmati rice, brown basmati is available, although uncommon.
Basmati rice sells at a higher price than other varieties,and basmati is often adulterated with inferior types and sold with the basmati name and price.
Basmati rice has a typical pandan-like (Pandanus fascicularis leaf) flavour caused by the aroma compound 2-acetyl-1-pyrroline. Basmati rice is often used for cooking Biryani, Pulao and sometimes Kheer.

DIY Pet Furniture: Cardboard Cat Chaise

Well that is pretty awesome.
My cat would break that thing. He is too heavy for cardboard.
my cat would lick the thing to death.. yeah, he loves cardboard.. don't ask. i don't know.
Love it! And you could paint it to match one's home.
hahah, gatita and animalhouze...both of you describe my two cats...one would crush the thing, and one would eat the thing! hheheh
Thank you for featuring some pet furniture that is not $1000
it's cute... but i suspect my cat would be nearly as likely to claw the chaise to shreds as to lounge upon it.
Lolcats caption...?
"Ah likes sittin' on it more when he waz makin' it."
This is awesome. It's definitely a cardboard DIY i'd love to try. My cats love cardboard anything. You can make this even more luxurious by adding a small throw blanket for your kitty.
a cat would pick this to death in no time
don't have a cat, but common sense says it's not likely to last too long....
cute, but i know my cat and he would ignore it or use it as a scratching post before laying on it.
cat prefers regular boxes
I think it's cool and yeah the cat might get into shredding it but isn't that the point. If he does then just make another one. I'm sure you can spring for another cardboard box.
My cat would know that time and effort went in to creating it for him and therefore would ignore it.
très adorable!

Globbing is the dyslexic result of a blogging attempt. Generally speaking it is a blog with little or no thought process, poor grammar and of little real use or interest.
Person 1: Man, I just finished blogging and I had nothing to say.
Person 2: Well, then you were globbing, not blogging.

Improvements to Binary Amplitude Diffusers
Improved forms of diffusion structures based on absorption reflection gratings are presented. The theory, design, advantages and limitations of these structures are discussed and their performance presented. Two methods of improving performance are suggested. The first structure is based on diffusion limited aggregation, which models non-regular fractal growth. The second structure was a panel with square absorption patches of a variable size that was determined by an m-sequence. Of the two, the second structure performed best. These are improved diffusing structures that take up less space than phase reflecting ones. These techniques add additional materials to the acoustic designer's armoury, for tackling real acoustic designs that have physical and practical, as well as theoretical, constraints.

There has to be nothing harder than walking into the NFL Scouting Combine to sit down at a gauntlet of interviews with potential employers. Especially when they are all going to ask you about the Lennay, fake girlfriend situation. This is what Manti Te'o faces soon. He has to play damage control and reassure all these NFL franchises that he has some mental stability and isn't too gullible and won't be taken advantage of the inevitable clinger ons that NFL fame brings.
Manti Te'o says he plans on putting on a great work out and thinks thats all the teams should need. At least that's the gist of what he told the USA Today. All that matters is his on field accomplishments and none of the off field stuff.
"I have to just go out there and perform and all that other stuff is behind me," Te'o told the USA Today. "What I did on the field is what I did on the field. I don't think what I did with this whole situation, I don't understand how it takes away from what I did on the field."
"As far as my stock dropping or rising, that's not up to me. The only thing I have to do is just do well, run fast, just be myself, be quick."
He interestingly is an IMG client and could have appeared in the notorious Harlem Shake video.
But he has learned from his adversities, and by that I mean the "cat fishing" experience he went through and he has deactivated his Twitter as of February, 5th and doesn't have any plans to return to social media.
"It's been a distraction for me," he said, "so I needed to get rid of it."
Saying it was a distraction is underplaying it. How about "it's the skid mark on my shiny gold Notre Dame helmet?"
"The worst thing I could do in this whole situation is change who I am that has brought me to this point," he said."My trust in people is the same. I'm just more cautious. "
"I just want them to know, whoever picks me just let them know that you're choosing someone who loves the game," Te'o said. "I want to be the best at it.
"It's because of my work ethic that I've come this far."

Due May 29th. Having issue with my boyfriend'
s family
I am due May 29 with mine and my boyfriend's frist child. My family is understanding of the fact that I do not want people to visit me in the hospital. I just want it to be my boyfriend and me and our son. His family is making a huge deal about it and his mother and older sister just assumed that they would be in the room with me while i was deilvering. He is the only male in his siblings. With all of his mother's other grandchildren she was in the room. How can i get her to see that this is differnet that with her other grandkids?
Re: Due May 29th. Having issue with my boyfriend'
s family
That's tough. They need to understand that it's ultimately your choice who is in the room with you. Each person is different in their labor wishes and they need to respect your choice. I would hope once baby is here they would forget all about that and focus on baby

Itby Stephen King
Synopses & Reviews
Its a place as hauntingly familiar as your own hometown. Only in Derry, the haunting is real. In 1958, the small town of Derry, Maine is shaken by a series of brutal murders targeting children. That fateful summer, seven kids are drawn together in a fierce bond of friendship to face a force of unspeakable evil. Twenty-seven years later, when the murder cycle begins again, they are summoned back to their hometown, reunited for a final, decisive battle against the reawakened evil.

or other medical intervention appears to be years away. In conjunction with such developments, efforts to prevent the transmission of HIV through the cessation of behaviors that contribute to it must be expanded. This requires a commitment to understanding and intervening in human behavior.
This report surveys the AIDS research programs of the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), and National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH). Much of the AIDS research supported by these institutes is dedicated to developing and implementing (and to a lesser extent, evaluating) HIV preventive interventions in different populations. These interventions should be driven by basic behavioral and social science research on the determinants of behavior and behavior change; and to a great extent they are. Yet much of this basic research is still in its early stages, its development inhibited by a political climate during the first decade of the epidemic that made it difficult, and on some occasions impossible, to conduct research on the very behaviors in question: drug use and sex. For example, although numerous scientific and policy reports called for a federally sponsored, national survey of sexual behavior to help determine the nature and level of risk for HIV transmission in the general population, federal and congressional restrictions did not allow it.
The absence of information about the actual sexual behaviors in which people are engaging has hampered AIDS prevention efforts during this period. Now, although the current climate is more supportive of such research, basic behavioral and social science research is having to catch up. Moreover, much-needed efforts to integrate this research with basic biomedical research to obtain a more complete understanding of the complex factors that contribute to the transmission, disease progression, and prevention of HIV/AIDS among different people are still just beginning.
Part I of this report presents an overview of findings from relevant research to date. The committee felt it was important to elucidate the status of knowledge about the substance abuse and mental health aspects of HIV/AIDS first, as a backdrop to its assessment of the specific research programs of NIAAA, NIDA, and NIMH, which appears in Part II. This was thought to be a constructive approach, as it provides a baseline for assessing contributions, gaps, and future directions for AIDS research at the institutes.

Top of the List: Another storm coming to NY, Bird Bird takes on Sandy and Thanksgiving travel
Here are the stories that are making the top of our list for November 8.
1) STORM FATIGUE: As if Hurricane Sandy wasn't enough, another storm is dumping wet snow and snapping power lines across the northeast. New York Mayor Bloomberg warned residents of the potential damages which could include flooding in places already eroded by Sandy.
With rain, snow and wind gusts up to 60 mph, the new storm is putting recovery efforts on hold. However, through it all, residents are keeping up the can-do spirit.
2) BIG BIRD ON SANDY GROUND: "Sesame Street" is airing a special hurricane episode this Friday, in hopes of teaching kids how to bounce back from Superstorm Sandy. Perfect for the whole family to watch together, it's actually a condensed version of a five-part "Sesame" series that first aired back in 2001.
3) HAPPY SHOPSGIVING: Black Friday is creeping deeper into Thursday. Walmart has their stores flinging open their door to welcome shoppers at 8 p.m. Thanksgiving night. In 2011, Walmart kicked things off at 10 p.m., but decided to start even earlier this year.
4) BIG MONEY, BIG CROWDS: Lots of people and lots of money is what travelers should be prepared for this Thanksgiving. Nearly 24 million people are predicted to fly over holiday week. Planes are already close to 90-percent -- and prices are increasing as the crowds do.
5) VIDEO VILLAINY: It looked like a scene out of James Bond or the Italian Job. Six robber dressed in black and riding motorcycles executed a high speed smash and grab using axes. It happened just after a London Shopping Center opened for the day. The robbers sped up to the Fraser Hart Jewelry store, smashed in the window and started loot.
No one was hurt, but an elderly man was treated for shock at the scene.

Old Man Winter & Undergarments!
I said last week that winter has gotten lost on it's way to Nebraska -- now I am beginning to wonder if Old Man Winter plans to show up at all. We are having another gorgeous day here (temperatures in the 60's). The newspaper reported that these temperatures could cause some premature blooming of some plants -- Ya Think? I am thinking that OMW needs to just show up and get the worst over with already.
So I was looking thru some images and came across this wonderful advertisement from 1934. My first thought was WHO wears slips (especially FULL slips) these days? A few years ago I took a part-time position for a few months at JCPenney. I was assigned to the Intimates Department. Not so sure it was a good match. We didn't even carry slips in that location although they were available thru the catalog. Now remember, I am 51. I surely remember wearing slips - we wore dresses and skirts to school everyday until 5th grade when FINALLY they mandated that we could wear slacks on Fridays. My Mom would have been in a state of shock if I hadn't worn a slip. After all, we played kickball and dodgeball and all those elementary games -- how could we have been modest without a SLIP, lol. Anyway, I'm getting ready to head down a rabbit trail here - back to slips, IF you've ever worn one, you are pretty aware that they aren't much protection against winter weather as this ad leads you to believe. Some Cuddle Duds maybe, longjohns for sure, but not a slip. Since we are chatting about underclothing I thought I'd also ask what is the obsession with compression garments and shapeware -- you know, Spanx and the such? Again, consider my age, my aunties (they are 8 & 10 years older than I am) always wore GIRDLES -- Didn't we burn our girdles in the 70's? I was always taken aback by these young girlies coming in and purchasing girdles....I mean compression garments, lol. Frankly, I probably could benefit from such garments (especially after a large weight loss) but I flat-out refuse on principle. Yeah, that is the story I'm sticking to :)
Well, winter should get here or maybe my grandson should -- something to occupy my thoughts so I can stop thinking about underwear!

Well, gotta tell ya....I actually wore a full length slip the other day. I wasn't even sure I still had one. I was going to wear an outfit that always seemed to cling to me due to static. I found the slip and it prevented the clinging. I felt very old fashioned lol.
Terra said...:
This is a cute post; yes, I still have some slips in my bureau. We are still waiting for Old Man Winter here too, in California. We would love some rain to help future gardens.
A Nest in the Rocks said...:
I still have both full and half slips, though I don't know when I last wore a full one. My daughter is six, though, and it's been really hard trying to find a nice slip for her - and she would love the old can-can or even a plain full one. While I'm not into the squeezy kind, I do want her to be modest!
Lady Farmer said...:
Boy! Am I out of the loop or what? I have slips, long and half, and wear them every Sunday with my skirt or dress to church. I don't wear them for warmth, although at this stage of the game they do add a degree or two or three to the telltale 'flashes'.:D I wear them to prevent 'see thru' of my garments. It drives me crazy to see gals in dresses that, when standing in the light, one can see more than they wanted to. While I'm at it, I might as well confess to still wearing 'panty hose' also!
I really dislike the look of my legs (neon white!) without them and they do act a bit like a compression garment! My grandma wore a girdle to support her back, under dresses or pants, until the day she died ~ at 94! I've been thinkin' on that one! NOT! I'll probably go home wearing my comfy old jeans!
Pam said...:
I feel the same way about Spanx! Fancy way to sell girdles to young girls who have no clue they are buying one. I was in second grade when we were finally able to wear pants to school, but not jeans, they had to be pant suits (which were all the rage at the time).
Nezzy said...:
Oh girl, head south...it was a whoppin 12 degrees yesterday mornin' and 22 this mornin' here in these hills and hollers.
I bet winter will come and you'll be wishin' for the warm sooner than you can imagine.
Yep, I remember the slip...Mom would let me put slacks on under the dress to wait for the bus. It got cold and I had to walk a ways.
Mom bought me a girdle to hold my hose up. Before pantyhose ya know!
Fun post here sweetie.
God bless and have yourself a fantastic New Year!!! :o)
Arlene @At Home with the Grimms said...:
I had a friend who was looking for a slip for her six year old...I asked "Do they even make slips anymore?" I am 56 and I do remember that you always wore a slip with your dress. What if you had an accident and the nurses in the Emergency Room saw that you were not wearing a slip? I am sure they keep a record of such things!:) And yes...I am a fan of Spanx..the new girdle. It hides a multitude of sins. Here in the South it has been so warm that daffodils are blooming in January! What a wacky world we live in!
Happier Than a Pig in Mud said...:
I haven't worn a dress or skirt in over 15 years! Still have a half slip or two in my drawer though, just in case...:@)
Patty Sumner said...:
I remember those "slip" days......
Boy have things change. Winter is slow visiting here too. Temps have been way above average. Compression garment.....I guess I could use a good push and tuck in some areas...lol.. Blessings and thanks for the lighthearted fun.
Linda @ A La Carte said...:
I finally did away with all slips, pantyhose and spanx etc like garments. I'm done and now it's comfort all the way...at 61 I'm allowed! hugs, Linda
Lynn said...:
Such a fun post, Gail. I have a few slips for emergencies but I'm with you on not wearing "compression garments" - Yuck! On the other hand, I LOVE Cuddleduds and silk undershirts from LLBean. I've found a few at the thrift store and they're great! We hardly have any snow either. I kind of miss it but am thankful I'm not out shoveling or trying to start my dad's old snowblower that's waiting in the garage.
Deb said...:
Oh my! If you had written this post before Christmas, I could have sent out a call for my size in everyone's half-slip discards! LOL! I was in the market for half slips....there are no places really that sell them these days...at least the section in Kohl's is slim pickings! I guess because most folks wear pants. I wear a half-slip every day of my life and have for years and years. I finally found them at JC Penney online and ordered FOUR while the getting was good! :) I hope they arrive soon! Interesting post!
Lynnie said...:
I don't own a slip. I once did, but think I have since thrown them out for nonuse. You know that rule.. if you haven't used it in a year (or 5) throw it out. LOL. And yeh.. spanxs..no thanks.
I GOT THE BELOVED BOX TONIGHT! I had looked today when the mail came.. but no box. So when Henry went to open the gate for his girlfriend to leave there it was on the fence in a plastic bag!! Thanks so much. This was a most generous giveaway! LOVE It all. Do you mind to tell me where you got that Chicken fabric? I have a special chicken quilt I am working on and those fabrics would be a fine addition! Blessings to you, may you be returned many times over the joy you share with so many!
Tammy@Beatrice Banks said...:
I grew up wearing slips too. Funny how they are phased out of our wardrobes now. I've seen a few girls who would have used one lately. I still wear them with my skirts to prevent static cling. And I'm definitely on board with you for the girdles, spanx, etc. I can't walk around that bound up all day! lol
Hope your new year is off to a great start!
SavoringTime in the Kitchen said...:
I think we had the warmest December on record here in Milwaukee. I couldn't even tell you the last time I had on a slip! Most skirts seem to be lined these days, thankfully :)
Anonymous Homesteader said...:
I still have a couple of slips hidden away, but I'm like Linda @ A La Carte, it's all comfort for me! LOL

Cream of the Crop
This week's theme for the tastings at Beer Boutique was cream ales. This was very interesting because not only was it a flight of all the same style, but all of our offerings were from Ontario as well. It was really fascinating to see what our province had to offer and to see each brewery's unique take on the cream ale style.
Our first offering was the Sleeman Cream Ale. This was a great lead-off beer as it is truly a fine example of the style. It pours a straw gold colour with fine white lacing. It has a malt forward aroma with hints of green apple. It is a very crisp beer that slides around your palate before quickly dissipating. It has very little hop bitterness, but is incredibly sessionable. As the tasting went on and we revisited this beer later on, more fruit sweetness developed. There were definitely more notes of pear and apple as it aged. It was a small crowd for this week's tasting, and everyone participating had tried the Sleeman Cream Ale at least once before. Everyone agreed that it was a very easy drinking beer, and actually leaned a little closer to a lager style than ale.
We then moved down the highway from Guelph to Oakville, as we sampled Cameron's Cream Ale. This was an impressive offering and was actually my pleasant surprise of the evening. I have had this beer before, but it has been a while since my last tasting and didn't remember it being this good. It pours a clear golden colour but a considerably darker gold than the Sleeman. To me it had a sweet malty aroma that was reminiscent of Arrowroot baby cookies. The sweetness was nicely balanced with a fair hop presence. Everyone attending was certainly impressed and it was regarded as a favourite by several tasters.
During these tastings I routinely call on one first-time participants and get them to engage in a little experiment. It's known as the bottle vs. glass challenge. The idea is for the participant to do a head-to-head comparison of the same brand, first straight from the bottle than from the glass. Most people haven't tried this type of direct comparison before, and their discoveries are usually quite eye-opening. Most people find (and tonight was no exception) that beer tastes cleaner and thus better out of a glass. In my humble opinion the bottle and can should be used as a transportation device only. Yes, of course there are exceptions: out on a golf course or at the beach come to mind; but to me beer is at its best when consumed out of a glass. In a glass the beer is more true to its original draught state, and in a glass there is less carbonation which leads to less gas, bloating and hangovers. (#allgoodthings) There are all kinds of style specific glassware that will enhance your drinking experience; but in the beginning just getting it to a glass – any glass is a good start.
Our third beer of the night was the Muskoka Cream Ale. This was probably the most distinct beer offered tonight. It was different from the others visually, in aroma, and taste as well. To start, it is significantly darker than the previous two, as it is deep gold that almost borders on copper. It also had the thickest foam retention. It definitely is the hoppiest of the bunch as was evident in both smell and taste. Again, hop presence is an acquired taste. Personally, I love the kick that hop bitterness provides but not everyone shares the same hop-love. I felt the Muskoka Cream Ale had a delightful aroma of hay and grassiness. Amongst the three I thought it had the most mouth-feel and most distinctive finish. It was truly a unique offering, one that I will be returning to over the summer.
*Blogger's Note: After completing this tasting and blog, Muskoka went on to win Gold at the 2012 Ontario Brewing Awards for best Cream Ale. Congrats Muskoka Team.
Our final offering of the night was mired in controversy: Labatt 50. As I brought out this beer I explained that 50 won gold in the 2011 Ontario Brewing Awards in the cream ale category. I had anticipated the response I was going to get when I presented the 50, and I was correct. "50 is a cream ale?" That was the question I knew I was going to have to answer. I explained that the name cream ale is already a bit of a misnomer. Yes there is creaminess in these beers, but it is not the same as the near frothiness that you see in U.K. cream ales; and it is not intended to be. In America, the terms "Cream Ale" and "Canadian Ale" are synonyms and often used interchangeably. They are characterized by: golden in colour with some bitterness. There should also be a strong taste of grain and should be very crisp and pronounced in flavour. This is the way in which Labatt 50 should be regarded as a cream ale. In fact, in some international markets Labatt 50 is sold as "Labatt Canadian Ale".
When pouring, the 50 comes out a pale gold and was probably the lightest in colour of the four tonight. It had malty sweetness in the nose which reminded me a lot of Golden Grams. It has a crisp refreshing taste with an almost abrupt finish. As I have discovered in the past, there is no middle ground in regards to 50's popularity. You either love it and defend it proudly or hate it and regard it as "old man beer". I tend to do both: yes I can see it being old man beer, as my father and several uncles used to and still do drink it; but I don't see that as a bad thing, since I too love it. I think I did my part to open some eyes as some of the doubters were impressed and perhaps changed some of their pre-conceived opinions.
This was personally one of the favourite tastings I have hosted. We presented a great selection of beer and there was a great energy from the participants. But you know what they say about cream… It rises to the top!
If you are looking to participate in a FREE Beer Boutique tasting, they take place every Wednesday at Liberty Village and every Thursday at the Distillery District (7pm). Sign-up sheets are posted the Friday before the tasting.
That's all for now folks,

Brandes has a unique approach to street-engine combos. Taking a leaf from late-model tech, he is able to build even old carbureted, noncomputer engines in excess of 11:1 static compression ratios and successfully run them on unleaded pump premium gas. The keys are heads with quick-burn combustion chambers, optimal quench achieved with near-zero deck heights, an aggressive cam ground to Brandes' specs, and careful carburetor and ignition tuning.
Brandes explains, "I try to achieve around 0.040-inch quench. That's about what a modern LS-series motor has. Spark-plug positioning in the chamber, slightly biased toward the exhaust valve, is also critical. It's one of the keys to making a high-compression motor live on the street. We are making a 21st-century engine here. Assuming parts are available that meet these parameters, there's no reason why any engine can't run high compression on today's pump gas."
When Detroit dropped compression ratios in the '70s in its desperate attempt to meet the new emissions standards, for the most part it did so by increasing combustion-chamber volume and increasing piston dish volume. One big exception was Chrysler: Beginning in '72 it lowered compression by drastically reducing piston compression height (CH)—the distance from the piston pin-bore centerline to the top flat on the piston. That's why on Murray's 440, for instance, the original pistons were so far down in the bore at TDC. If compression had to be dropped, this was about the worst way to go about it. The big quench decrease made the engines even more sluggish than what's normally attributable to just the base compression drop alone, even promoting increased detonation tendencies in a high-performance application.
The solution is a higher-CH piston that restores quench and static compression ratio. With its 2.067-inch CH (compared to a typical late stocker's 1.902 inch), Icon's 440 lightweight forged flattop piston (PN IC968) is just what the doctor ordered. The fully machined piston weighs only 685 grams and accepts modern, lightweight 1⁄16-, 1⁄16-, and 3⁄16-inch rings for reduced friction plus even more weight savings.
With the bottom end apart and the engine requiring rebalancing anyway to support the new pistons, Murray stepped up and let Westech optionally replace the late short-block's stock rods and externally balanced, cast-iron crank with one of its good, used early 440 forged cranks, a set of Magnum forged rods bushed for floating pins and upgraded with ARP bolts, and a stock harmonic damper designed for internally balanced engines. Externally balanced, auto-trans-equipped, Chryslers have their rear balance weights on the torque converter instead of the flexplate; Westech simply ground them off, then rebalanced the engine internally.
Getting a pump-gas-friendly, high-compression engine to be both driveable and responsive mandates careful camshaft selection. The exact profile depends on the overall engine combo. For example, with full-length tube headers, Brandes says "we like to open the exhaust valve sooner. That gives a better charge pressure and better blow-down into the pipe—which means more bottom-end torque. I like to open the exhaust valve about 60 degrees before bottom dead center (BBDC) at 0.050-inch tappet lift. Typical catalog cams in this performance range might not open until 50 degrees.
"To help intake manifold vacuum, you don't want too much overlap, but on the other hand, you want to be careful not to induce tip-in ping. I like to open the intake around 14 degrees BTDC and close the exhaust at 11 degrees ATDC. Some of my engines have 112-degree lobe-separation angles (LSA), but for this big-block Chrysler I had the cam ground on a 110-degree LSA."
Most motors need a hydraulic roller cam to meet Brandes' demanding requirements, but Chrysler has a key advantage here: It uses a large 0.904-inch-diameter flat-tappet lifter, compared to 0.875 for Ford and just 0.842 for most GM apps. The larger foot reduces unit loading, permitting near roller cam lobe profiles without a roller's expense. But that requires a cam specifically ground for the Chrysler lifter, which isn't typical for generic off-the-shelf "catalog" grinds. Brandes went into Comp Cams lobe-profile catalog to spec a custom dual-pattern grind using its Xtreme Mopar lobe profiles (see "Cam Specs" table).
Repairing the existing heads would require machining them for new hardened insert seats for all 16 valves—the exhausts because of the severe seat recession, the intakes because the seats had sunk from the cheapie valve job (remember shaft valvetrains want all the seats at the same height). "The cost of rebuilding the heads—including new guides, seats, valves, and a valve job—is halfway toward a set of new aftermarket aluminum heads," maintains Brandes. "For a performance engine, it's just not cost effective." Additionally, aluminum heads, with their superior heat-rejection properties compared to cast-iron stockers, permit going at least one full point higher in static compression ratio—and that assumes the same old-school, lazy combustion chamber as the stockers.
But head tech has come a long way in the last half-century. The best of today's aftermarket aluminum heads eschew traditional old-school chambers in favor of modern, race-derived, heart-shaped, combustion chambers with relocated spark plugs. Edelbrock's Victor big-block Chrysler heads fit the bill perfectly. Why a "race" head like the Victor instead of the "milder" Edelbrock Performer RPM 440 head? Because the Victor's smaller 72cc chambers when used with the 0.040-over Icon flattop piston, a zero-decked block, and heavy-duty Fel-Pro PN 1009 head gaskets, yield 11.6:1 static compression without detonation on pump gas (assuming proper tuning). That meets Brandes' 0.040-inch-quench and compression-ratio goals without a restrictive piston-dome impinging into the chamber. And as a "race" head, the Victor's intake and exhaust ports are raised over the stock location, considerably improving head flow.
The heads were bolted to the block with Fel-Pro head gaskets and ARP bolts. ARP additionally supplied the intake, header, and engine dress-up accessory bolts.
Edelbrock Victor heads have unique valvetrain geometry and require offset intake rocker arms. As a "race" head, they're sold bare or (as used on this motor) bare with valves, in either case leaving valvespring and upper valvetrain parts selection up to the end user. Comp Cams supplied flat-tappet-friendly beehive variable-rate springs; the hard-core Chrysler specialists at Hughes Racing sent its premium aluminum 1.5:1 rocker-arm kit for Victor Heads. Hughes custom-length, 4130 hard-tempered chrome-moly, 0.083-inch-wall pushrods tie the lifters to the rockers. A Hughes' adjustable checking pushrod and checking lifter helped establish optimum geometry and length. The proper-length pushrod, a Hughes rocker-stand shim kit, and the Edelbrock heads' consistent valve-stem lengths and hardened valve-seat depths make Murray's seat-recession problems only a bad memory.
The last step was fine-tuning the car around the new combo. Major work was needed to get the three Holleys to work with the free-flowing heads and large cam. Finicky Six Pack carb-tuning was made much easier with trick parts supplied by Quick Fuel Technology (QFT). It also turns out the stock fuel pump couldn't flow enough fuel to support the new engine's higher output. Westech replaced it with a Carter high-performance mechanical fuel pump rated at 120 gph (free-flow). Finally, Brandes fine-tuned the ignition advance curve. "By virtue of the Victor heads' modern, quick-burn chambers, the car likes 14 degrees initial, with 34 degrees total." That's on both unleaded pump premium and race gas. In fact, the engine made the same power numbers with either fuel.
Owner Murray loves the car's "rumpity-rump" sound. The car's cranking compression is now 155–165 psi even with the big cam, right in Westech's preferred sweet-spot groove for a pump-gas street car. With the aggressive cam, idle vacuum is only 5 inches at 550 rpm, rising to 8 inches at 700–750 rpm. That seems kind of low, but remember, there are no power brakes on this car. Low as the idle vacuum is, once the carbs were properly tuned, the idle is now totally stable and no longer "hunts." On Westech's Mustang chassis-dyno, at the rear wheels the car now makes 376 hp at 6,048 rpm, with 355 lb-ft of torque at 5,194 rpm. That's using the conservative SAE J1349 correction factor, the same method used to measure output on today's new cars. Figure about a 20 percent drivetrain loss plus another 4 percent compared to the more liberal "hot rod" correction factor and we're looking at about 470 hp and 444 lb-ft at the flywheel. We feel the old-school Six Pack intake is holding the engine back from realizing its true potential, but the owner elected to retain original underhood appearance over max output.
Not all apparent driveability issues are due to ignition and carburetion problems. When after careful tuning the engine doesn't respond, you need to check the engine's internal health. Home mechanics should always have a compression tester and a vacuum gauge as part of their standard kit. Shaft-mount valvetrains must have equal valve-seat depths and valve-stem heights. Don't lower compression by using pistons that end up a mile down in the cylinder at TDC.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
Most of the previous negative comments seem to be referencing issues from the prior administration, or issues created by the school board that have been put on the current administration to solve or implement. Having had children at the school for the past 10 years, I have dealt with most of the faculty and administrators in some capacity. There are many excellent teachers and some that need to retire - like any school. Like others who have left comments, I also was not impressed with the previous administration, but there has been a complete change in that area and I have been very satisfied with the current AP for all concerns that I have had to bring to her attention. I feel Northwood is now an excellent school, and could be even better if the school board would stay out of it!
The K - 8 school is an enormous annual expense but does a poor job of educating our children. We spend 30% more than surrounding towns and have significantly lower test scores. The school board is the problem. They are well intentioned but clueless about how to deliver good results cost effectively. And they lack willingness / have no idea how to improve. I feel bad for the kids but see no chance for improvement in the foreseeable future.
I am writing this review primarily as a parent, secondarily as a taxpayer. This school has done an injustice to both my kids to the point where I had to pull them out and homeschool them for as long as I was able in order to remove them from the hostile environment. Unfortunately the teachers and the principal (and Vice principal) contribute to this environ. They say that they have an aggressive anti-bullying policy but that simply is not enforced. I am still working to repair the damage that they have done to my children. As a parent I wish I had the choice to where my tax dollars went because I can assure you, that my tax dollars wouldn't be going to this undeserving school. In addition, the SAU in charge of this school was ineffective and the staff undeserving of their paychecks. As far as "reaching out" to parents-they make a good show of it, but when parents have a legitimate concern at the school, at BEST parents will be given lip service. Parents really need a school choice so that their taxpayer dollars are used wisely as only parents know what's best for their kids.
This school is awful. Absolutely awful. This school does whatever it can to avoid giving a child services he/she needs. The focus is on what is best for the bottom line and not what is best for the child. There are some in the community who vote down everything school related, even though their children went to the same school and still live in town. I want better for my children than what this school offers. I thought moving into this town would be the best because of the high school and figured the elementary school would be just as good. I was mistaken. Think long and hard before moving to this town. It has positives, but the elementary school is not one of them.
This school has some major issues with academics, most subjects have been cut due to towns people being concerned over taxes rather than the quality of our children's education. While some teachers may be good, there are many who teach well below average. The special education students don't get their Individualized Education Plans or 504s fulfilled, without threatening the school with legal action.
i have 2 children currently enrolled in NES. I am also a former employee. This school has seriously gone down hill with the new administration. Their main focus seems to be on money and legas lissues. They are running the school like a businessm not the educaitonal facility that it is. This school did not meed ayp last year. This is mainly due to the special ed childrens test scores. So what does administration do, they eliminate a special educaiton case manager position and lay off paraprofessionals. The people who lost their jobs this year did not loose them due to job performance, This means the special education children in this school, now have less help. They are hurting the children who need the most help. This decision was made by administration, and upheald by the school board. Administration gets an F from this parent.
I wish the teachers of Northwood Elementary were better informed on ADD and ADHD. I find there lack of education in this area disturbing.
As a former teacher at Northwood School, I know that Northwood teachers are some of the most dedicated and caring teachers that you'll ever find. They genuinely care about the students and always continue to soldier on for the students despite any challenges along the way. Northwood School deserves the recognition because so many of the staff and faculty have worked there for decades and are completely invested in the school and the students.
I am in and out of this school frequently and have been for years as my children grew. There is a real difference in the learning environment that has occurred within the past 3-4 years. The leadership and support of the faculty and students has deteriorated greatly to the point that I will be placing my youngest child in private school which will truly impact my financial situation. You do what you have to when it comes to protecting your child.
Dispite the fact that school board members write reviews for this site, the problems remain as discussed. Leadership is poor with overreaction, emotional outbursts and poor role modeling by the principal. The teachers work hard to overcome this.
My child entered the first grade last year and will be starting the second grade in Sept. My experience with the faculty and their values has been exceptional. My child is very bright and as he progressed quickly, his teachers kept him intellectually stimulated by offering him the opportunity to advance individually or with small excellerated groups. As far as discipline is concerned, I am a strong advocate for teaching kindness and responsibility. In response to the child who watched someone stealing shoes as a joke: that joke must have gone pretty far without the return of those shoes. Stealing anything - even as a joke, is NO joke. If tolerated, these kind of 'jokes' may get out of hand and the boundries of kindness and responsibility will become blurred or even lost. I applaud the administration for nipping that issue immediately. Sounds to me like they are doing their jobs!
Our new administration has been working diligently to improve the education at Northwood School. Our school is one of only 175 New Hampshire schools (of more than 500) to meet AYP this year. This year we elected three new school board members---all of whom have children in the school. These new members, combined with a very hard-working administration, are making great strides in improving the quality of education at Northwood. We have new foreign language program, a new school-wide reading curriculum, and we are in the process of selecting a new math curriculum. I have been a parent of Northwood School students for 8 years and am very happy with all of the progress we have made in the past two years.
There is a real air of absolute control in this school with the principal leading the charge. The kids and the parents feel it. If this were inner Boston I might be able to understand it but it's Northwood NH!
I think they are trying to improve this school and, while I commend them for that, the kids in this 'transition phase' are getting the short end of the stick. Neither one of my children, particularly my older child, are challenged. I think the discipline is often overly harsh, perhaps due to political correctness or fear of legal issues. Telling the older children they can't play sports out on the playground, and making them sign a contract stating as such is ludicrous, especially when they only have gym for 12 weeks out of the entire school year. Signing contracts for silly things teaches them that contracts are not really that important. The discipline should be eased up on them when it comes to minor things; come down harder on things that are more important--that will teach them more about consequences for their actions, will garner more respect & foster more consideration.
I do not think Northwood School has taken a positive turn with the new principal and vice principal. The rules have changed dramatically in the past few years and it is getting a little ridiculous. Having a student suspended for watching someone else do something like stealing another kids shoes for fun since they are friends is not considered bullying and suspending the kid wont really do anything but make them seam like a bad person which they are not. Also, thinking that all kids become crazy or out-of-control from being bullied, which is not a problem in the school, from a movie is bad decision on the guidence counselers part.
I'm in agreement with the Sept.view. This school has taken a negative turn this year thanks to the new leadership. Teachers are not happy so students are not as enthusiastic as in the past.
The year has been dismal with poor leadership. Parents need to be constantly on guard to make sure their child is getting what they need in this school.
Leadership has been good until this year. A poor decision has been made in hiring the new principal and unfortunately her influence will be felt throughout the school. A sad step backwards for the town of Northwood.
This is a quality school, with caring teachers and good administrative leadership. The student conduct guidelines are clearly stated and are relevant to the personal safety of all students. The extracurricular programs offered give students many opportunities to achieve in all areas of personal development. For a small school, NES offers a reasonable variety of sports, interest clubs, band, chorus, and has adequate technology facilities. The building itself is extremely well-maintained with an exceptional janitorial staff. Class sizes vary slightly, but are generally approximately twenty students. There are some truly exceptional teachers at NES. I am highly satisfied with the quality of education that my family has been receiving.

"We usually change our cocktails about every two weeks, but we try to keep a couple standards on the list. What's most fun about our bar is that the drink list is entirely collaborative. The chef, the owner, much of the staff, and myself all are involved in the creation, tasting, and vetting process. One person comes up with an idea or flavor combination, and the ball starts rolling from there.
"Our Taste of Treason is a play on the 1794, a classic bourbon cocktail. The 1794 Whiskey Rebellion was actually the first time any person was tried for treason in the newly-formed United States, and as with any great rye cocktail, after consuming a few, it'll get your blood pumping and your courage up. This is great for someone who likes a Manhattan or even a Negroni. The Dolin Blanc tends to be a sweeter vermouth, and one of the things I love about it is the aroma. Sometimes our bartenders will wash the glass with it before. This is something we always have in our well." Seth Yaffe, The Gallows, Boston

Miles and Mason have a long way to go, which is the main reason for their lack of production... but by the same token, you could plug Patterson or Monroe into the current "big guy" role in our offense and they wouldn't be doing much either. Every once in a while, I would like our bigs to be allowed to focus on getting themselves open and getting open looks, rather than doing that solely for our guards.
Sorry if that sounded gloomy.
Bob Green
United States Navy (Retired)
I really think we would be a much stronger team if Andre and Mason were more effective. I'm sure that many of us are hoping that they show the same improvement EWill showed down the stretch last year.
I attended my first acc game since graduation last night ('94) and had a blast. Nice to finally attend an actually full game again. . From my vantage point, I kept seeing our bigs post, but not actually seal their man away to allow for a clean entry. Reid, Alibi, and Singleton consistently had an arm wrapped in front to prevent the pass. Our guards could have been more aggressive with the pass, but the bigs HAVE to seal off to allow the pass. We seem a lot more comfy with the pick-n-slip move because the big only has to cut to the hoop, not turn and seal, which seems to be the issue.
And lest we forget, shelden was GREAT at this skill, so our coaches can teach it, but somebody has to learn. Zoubeck has the best version of it, just banging his guy off and spreading that enormous wingspan. Mason is BUILT to do it, but has to learn how to keep his guy behind him. If that light goes off, look out.
I do wish we would enter the ball into the post more and give our bigs, especially Zoubs, Miles and Mason a chance to look to score or draw attention and kick it out to shooters or hit cutters coming through the lane. I was hoping to see us put pressure on FSU's bigs last night by trying to draw a few fouls on them. I think the offense would flow better with that approach added in to what we are already doing. And every guy on the court needs to be a threat to score if left open.
But that said, I was pleased with last nights game because FSU is one of the better defensive teams and it is extremely difficult to score on them especially in the paint. I thought we used the 3 very effectively last night without "falling in love" with it or forcing many. Most all of them were good looks that needed to be taken.
Good news is, not everyone has FSU's frontline or defensive ability. And there are still enough games left for individual players and the team to improve and get better.

Regarding Miles and Mason, I think it is a mistake for folks to keep lumping them together. I see a lot of posts saying "they just are not there yet" or "the Plumlees struggled last night against FSU"
I thought Miles played a solid game last night. He played solid D and fought hard for boards. Had he not gotten the cut he would have played at least 25 to 27 minutes or so. He put up some nice shots last night that just rimmed out. Mason struggled for sure last night for the 3rd game in a row and has taken a step back since his nice 4 game stretch that ended with Wake. I expect him to bounce back though.
But for now, Miles is far better than he was last year and is clearly ahead of baby brother right now. So Miles is miles ahead of Mason at the moment pun intended.
I think it is a bit unfair to Miles to lump them together so often. They are 2 different players with different skillsets and while Mason has the higher ceiling I actually think Miles can turn into a beast down low before his career is over. With those 2 and Kelly, along with Hairston coming in next year, the future is bright in the frontcourt. And like the 4 bigs this year, all 4 of the future bigs have different games/skillsets that will complement each other and their backcourt mates really well.
Just my take..

Roy Williams Of Nazareth had no knowledge however. He is sinless.
I am very glad that there is so much time left in this season. Basically, FSU turned us into a jump shooting team - we just made the shots. If our shots weren't falling, either we would have lost, or we would have had to change strategy. Luckily we didn't have to do that.
In the games that are left, it would be great to see Mason, Miles and Andre improve dramatically. I have complete confidence in them to do so, and there is more than a month. I trust the poster above who said that our bigs were doing a bad job sealing off the man behind them. On the other hand, Mason should be able to do more of his driving moves against the opponent's 4, if he works on his decision making. The assist to Zoubek was absolutely brilliant.
I guess what I'm saying is I don't think we had extraordinarily good shooting or lucky shooting or anything against Florida State. We should shoot this well or better in most of our games.
After our game vs FSU and watching the Wake/GaTech game tonight, I am struck by how many tall athletes there are in the league this year. Alabi and Singleton from FSU; Favors, Lawal, and Peacock from GaTech; Davis, Thompson, Zeller, etc. from UNC; Aminu from Wake, etc. etc. Plenty of shotblockers, rebounders, and players that can score inside.
More quality big guys, and probably fewer all-around type guys in 6'4" to 6'7" range in the conference.
Advantage to Duke on the perimeter against nearly every team in the ACC, and we've got enough depth inside to play against, if not outdo these other teams with quality big guys.
Still like our chances to have the best regular season record.
Umm ,plug Monroe or Patterson in that lineup and they would be getting the ball.Just saying They know how to get the desired position and what to do once they have it.You gotta have confidence in your big's to make the pass.Just sayingMiles and Mason have a long way to go, which is the main reason for their lack of production... but by the same token, you could plug Patterson or Monroe into the current "big guy" role in our offense and they wouldn't be doing much either. Every once in a while, I would like our bigs to be allowed to focus on getting themselves open and getting open looks, rather than doing that solely for our guards.
Duke 4 life---No excuses!!
