Iceland is one of the best places to visit, touted a 2012 "New York Times" Travel section article that called Iceland a "breathtakingly beautiful island" for nature lovers. It's hardly surprising given its surreal landscapes of thermal springs, glaciers, lava fields and mountain-ringed fjords, as well as the locals who inhabit them - arctic terns and comical puffins chief among them. But it's also a place of strong cultural riches, played out in the lifestyles of the 100 or so hardy residents of tiny Grímsey Island on the Arctic Circle, in the weathered faces and huts of the fishermen of Isafjordur, in the cliff-hanging, rope-swinging, egg-collecting exploits of islanders on Heimaey, and in the Viking artifacts on view in Hafnarfjördur that make Iceland a must-see destination for everyone.
Day 1: Arrive Reykjavik
Tour begins: 12:30 PM, Reykjavik. A transfer is included upon arrival at Reykjavik's Keflavik International Airport to the Hilton Reykjavik Nordica or the Grand Hotel Reykjavik where a day room has been reserved for you. Meet your fellow travelers at our welcome lunch at the glass-domed Perlan Restaurant, renowned for its cuisine and 360-degree revolving views of the city. An orientation tour includes Old Town and a guided visit to the National Museum. Embark Le Boréal / Le Soléal in Hafnarfjördur this afternoon for the start of your small ship cruise in "the land of fire and ice." Your outside-facing accommodations promise memorable views of Iceland's mystical landscapes.
Meals: L, D
Day 2: Iceland's "Golden Circle" - Thingvellir, Gullfoss & Geysir
Embark on a tour of the "Golden Circle," encompassing Iceland's three major sights. Visit Thingvellir National Park - named a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it is also Iceland's most important historic landmark as it is where the Vikings established the world's first democratic parliament, the Alping, in 930 AD. View magnificent Gullfoss waterfalls, dropping down 96 feet in two roaring falls and arched with rainbows. Continue on to the spouting hot springs of Geysir, where many of its geysers erupt with clockwork precision in impressive flumes. Stop at a power plant to learn how Iceland's natural resources are put to work before a return to ship.
Meals: B, L, D
Day 3: Heimaey & the "Islands of the western men"
Welcome to Westmann Islands, the "islands of the western men," so named for a group of rebellious slaves whose daring, albeit short lived, escape from captivity in ancient Iceland is still the stuff of legends on these volcanic shores. Come ashore on Heimaey for a day of exploration that includes a visit to Sprangan cliff, where young islanders are taught the sport of rope-swinging and cliff-side egg-collecting, and a stop at Storhöfdi, home to the island's largest colony of puffins and an incredible vantage point for breathtaking views of the island and the massive glaciers of the mainland (weather permitting). The volcanic eruption of Mt. Eldfell in 1973 spewed lava over the island landscapes, creating the youngest mountain in the world and the new "Pompeii" of the north. A walk around the crater rewards with spectacular views and a cruise to an island cliff may see puffins, weather permitting.
Meals: B, L, D
Day 4: Grundarfjordur & fishing villages
Dock today in Grundarfjordur, nestled on the banks of a fjord and ringed with mountains, for a scenic drive along the rugged coast. Pass through fishing villages bustling with daily life on the way to Djúpalónssandur, a pebbled beach with a series of strange rock formations emerging from the ocean. The intriguing shapes towering over the Atlantic shores here have become the basis for many of Iceland's time-honored sagas; learn more about the traditional stories that tell tales of the country's early settlers, trials and tribulations during your visit, including how these rocks were used in strength competitions between local fishermen. Your journey continues to the tiny hamlets of Arnarstapi, home to an arctic tern colony, and Budir, set against a landscape of extinct volcanoes, glaciers and lighthouses. Join us this evening at the Captain's dinner aboard Le Boréal or Le Soléal.
Meals: B, L, D
Day 5: Life on Grímsey & the Arctic Circle
Remote and weather-beaten, the tiny island of Grímsey - just 2½ miles by 1¼ miles - is the northernmost inhabited part of Iceland. Cliffs cover most of the island, providing ideal breeding sites for huge colonies of seabirds. The island's scant population of hardy residents, said to consistently number about 100, make their living from the bounty of the sea and limited farming. Step ashore for a walking tour to see arctic terns, the longest-distance migrating birds on Earth, and whimsical puffins, with penguin-like markings and beaks that bloom with color in the spring. You'll be able to walk across the Arctic Circle, the imaginary line which marks the southern limit of the Arctic Region. North of this latitude, periods of continuous daylight or night last up to six months at the North Pole.
Meals: B, L, D
Day 6: Legends and dramatic sites from Akureyri to the Godafoss
Cruise the Eyjarfjördur fjord to Akureyri, the commercial and cultural center of northern Iceland. Located just 60 miles from the Arctic Circle, the town boasts a spectacular setting in view of snow-tipped granite mountains and some of the warmest weather in the country. Guided sightseeing takes you to the sulphur fields at Namaskard, the unique volcanic rock formations of Dimmuborgir (Dark Castles) creating mysterious forms carved in lava and the small farming hamlet of Skútustadir. Enjoy lunch at a local restaurant, then follow the Ring Road to the powerful horseshoe-shaped waterfall, Godafoss, known to locals as "the falls of the gods" and star of the Kristni Saga. Legend has it that in 1000 AD the Icelandic "lawspeaker" tossed his icons of Norse deities into the falls, symbolizing the banishment of paganism and introducing Christianity as the official Icelandic religion. Return to Akureyri for a brief city tour and then enjoy free time before an evening's sail.
Meals: B, L, D
Day 7: Isafjordur, Vigur & island life
Rugged mountain scenery dominates the landscapes surrounding Iceland's western fjords, setting a dramatic stage for your visit to Europe's westernmost town, Isafjordur, and a day of cultural discoveries. Visit the quaint "church on the hill" in the village of Bolungarvik and a turf-roofed fisherman's hut at Osvor Museum for a glimpse into the life of Icelandic fishing families. Back in Isafjordur, visit the Maritime Museum and then cruise to Vigur Island, home to the same family since 1884; their livelihood is based partly on collecting eider duck eggs and down. Your hosts will be serving homemade island refreshments.
Meals: B, L, D
Day 8: Travel to the Blue Lagoon and return to Reykfavik to journey home
A morning parade of nature awaits as you drive from the town of Hafnarfjördur past Kleifarvatn Lake, through the geothermal fields of Krysuvik-Solfataras and the fishing village of Grindavik. Continue to the Blue Lagoon, an innovative wellness center and spa powered completely by geothermal energy. Schedule permitting, enjoy a dip in the lagoon's warm, blue waters before a farewell lunch. Visit the newly built Viking Museum and the Viking ship, Islendingur, a fully seaworthy replica of an ancient 70-crew Viking vessel, en route to the airport. Tour ends: 2:00 PM at Reykjavik's Keflavik International Airport. You should allow 3 hours for your flight check-in at the airport.
Meals: B, L
7 night small ship cruise aboard Le Boréal or Le Soléal that explores amazing geological contrasts, geysers and waterfalls, with a walk across the Artic Circle, swim in the Blue Lagoon, "Golden Circle" tour from Reykjavik and a visit to an "island" family farm
This Tauck Tour of Cape Cod, The Islands was exceptional. The tour guide and the driver were exceptionally friendly, informed and courteous. All the amenities; the food, the lodging, the side excursions were excellent. I would recommend this trip to anyone. P.S. The tour even send extensive information before the tour to inform and prepare us for touring this area of the country, telling us how to pack and providing all the necessary information to prepare us for emergencies and other contingency plans. Very helpful.
Tauck is the very best. Dinners were fabulous and private tours were super. This was our 7th Tauck tour and we will be back again.
As always, Tauck trips are the best. You get great tour directors, great accommodations, excellent dining experiences and completely unique visits to not only the usual sights, but to little known delights.
The tour guide was phenomenal and so were the first and last hotels. The third hotel had serious air conditioning concerns, which the tour guide will follow up on. Short pretour or post tour excursions are greatly needed.
The Ireland Forever trip was fantastic. I would definitely recommend it. My 12 year old granddaughter and I went and she loved every minute. it was the perfect family trip and choice for her with the Irish dancing, cooking school, farm visit, pottery/jewelry making and Dublin treasure hunt. All so much fun. We learned a lot about Ireland and its history, too. Staying at the beautiful Castlemartyr country estate and Dromoland Castle were outstanding experiences of country Ireland at its best.
We were very pleased with the added activities which were available only through Tauck. The travel exceeded our expectations.
This trip was complementary to the Central Europe tour we did two years ago. Really enjoyed getting the story of all these countries that were behind the Iron Curtain and are free today.
All of the hotels and all of the local tour guides were outstanding.
Booked with your company for the first time and agent was great. He got all my questions answered and there were many. Tauck trip to Japan was outstanding. Would recommend it highly.
Tauck is the best...again. The bar is set high and they meet it. We had a fairy tale trip that was just wonderful.
The tour was great - guide very professional. Only criticisms - didn't like hotels in Buenos Aires and Rio de Janeiro. I think Tauck could have done better. Also would have preferred more time in Buenos Aires and less time in Rio de Janeiro.
Our guide was outstanding. Everything was well planned and went smoothly.
The tour director was excellent. She attended to many details to make us comfortable with no stress.
At the Omni, Mt. Washington I was surprised that our room had a view of the roof one floor below us. When I mentioned this to our tour guide she said she had no control over the rooms, When I asked the Omni staff they said they weren't sure what could be done and that we may want to check with our tour guide. The problem I have with this is that on the part of our guide and the hotel staff neither party wanted to be of service - they both passed on it. There may in fact be nothing that could be done, but the more Egregious Part Is That There Was No Attempt To Resolve A Customer's Problem. I was somewhat shocked by that. It was contrary to everything I had heard and seen about Tauck prior to our trip.
Amazing trip. Wonderful. Tauck provided great services. It would be advisable for people to have a clarification of the need for yellow fever shots. Also there should be more warning on altitude sickness.

Firefox Extensions
- Adblock Plus – Blocks content by applying regular expressions or globs to the URL. In the "Filter preferences" make sure to uncheck the "Allow some non-intrusive advertising" option.
- BetterPrivacy – Remove flash cookies but supports a white list.
- Permit Cookies 2 – Adds a button to add the current site to the cookie whitelist.

- Live HTTP Headers – Can record the meta data sent to and recieved from websites.
- User Agent Switcher – Allows Firefox to pretend to be other browsers for testing.

Search Engine
I find Google search very frustrating unless it has two important preferences set:
- More than 10 results per page (I prefer 30)
- "verbatim" search that prevents it from completely ignoring words in your query
Firefox used to have an about:config property for changing the location bar search URL. Now the location bar uses the first installed search engine. I couldn't find a predefined search engine plugin out there that had the options on Google that I wanted. I had to create on on Ready2Search. To set those Google options as your default search from Firefox:
- Visit the Google Verbatim 30 results page.
- Click on "OpenSearch plug-in GV30".
- When a dialog pops up, allow the plugin to be installed and set it as the default Firefox search engine.

#17) Being forced to move to Bushwick
Thursday, September 18, 2008
Although I do not identify with being a full-blown hipster, I openly admit that I have some hipster traits (call me a hipster chimera if you will). One trait that I currently share with the non-trustfunded hipster (which is a much more elusive breed than its well-off counterpart) is the state of being really effing broke (moneyless!). This, coupled with my inability refusal to enter into the corporate jungle or serve others prepared food with a smile on my face (even though I am not happy to be there) presents quite a predicament.
So, with less than two weeks remaining before my sublease squatting arrangement is up, I have been grudgingly doing something that many-a-hipster has been forced to do over the past few years due to the powerful financial forces of yuppienization pushing the hip out of Williamsburg: I have been looking for an apartment in Bushwick.
# 11) Misha Calvert… and pageants in general
Wednesday, August 20, 2008
I e-met this hipSTAR after our pet projects were featured 2 posts away from each other on FREEwilliamsburg.com, which I'm sure you all check daily, if not by having the page perpetually open and refreshing the screen every few minutes or so. After robbing a bodega and creating the Mr and Miss Williamsburg Pageant as retribution, Misha became an infamous icon in the hipster realm, attracting a stream of comments with such sentiments as "I hope your eggs fall out Misha," "i hope you fall onto the L train tracks" and "lousy fucking bitch-cunt," among others. But shrugging these comments off with skilled nonchalance, her pageant will prevail – and be attended by Gawker.
Mischa reached out to me through email and suggested that I participate in her pageant. I wrote her back, commended her for robbing the bodega (which started this whole escapade), and graciously agreed to participate. After that, we emailed each other back and forth so much that we automatically popped up on each others' g-talk lists, and so the conversations began.
One day, Misha said, "I'd love to do an interview." My narcissistic inclinations shining through, I asked when she wanted to interview me. Her narcissistic inclinations trumping mine tenfold, she explained that she was asking me to interview her.
In the midst of awkward confusion, Misha suggested that we "shake up the medium" and interview each other, and so this interview was born. Hopefully, it will satiate everyone's narcissistic inclinations:
Lola: So Misha, judging from some of the comments on websites that featured your pageant, it appears that hipsters don't like you. Do you generally find this to be true?
Misha: First of all, thank you for recognizing that I am not a hipster. Although by many accounts, that very denial would make me one.
Lola: This is correct
#5) Gentrification
Thursday, August 7, 2008
Over the past 10 years, the town of Williamsburg has become the latest magnet for high-income business people, driving property value and the cost of living way up for all, including local Puertorriqueño, black and hipster populations. As a result, crime is at an all-time high (note: I really can't verify that statistically, but two people definitely got stabbed with machetes by a gang in the nabe recently.)
When asked if the victims were also gang members, a police officer stationed nearby the scene replied, "Nah, they were probably some kids from Oklahoma who started shit with the people who have lived here their whole lives."
While hipsters have multiple tattoos and like to dress "hard," they are not actually skilled with martial arts or weaponry. It is likely that in this case, and many other gentrification-driven acts of violence, hipsters have been wrongfully targeted and blamed by those in financial duress, who confused them with the corporate tools who work so much they don't even have the opportunity to walk around the streets after 10 pm to get attacked.
If there is one thing hipsters hate more than being victims of violent crime, it is being confused with young professionals. I mean, they wear nothing but navy pantsuits and topsiders.
Thus, hipsters view gentrification as a serious issue.
Aside from being offended by mistaken associations, hipsters naturally clash with the corporate-attire wielding market researchers and investment bankers slowly filling the luxury condos and artist lofts. This is not necessarily because hipsters are morally opposed to the corrupt processes that these people willingly feed with their employment, but because their oblivion is soo ironic it hurts a hipster's mind to think about. The whole point of living in an artsy slum is to be able to work 3 shifts a week at a shitty coffee shop and have money for rent, drugs and concert tickets. But the gentrifiers in Williamsburg work 40-hour weeks and listen to bands like Bon Jovi, missing out on the finer points of the location they are co-opting.
Kristen Reynolds, 24 who recently moved to Williamsburg from Portland and works at a local restaurant, put the situation nicely:
"I mean, why should I have to take out more money from my trust fund in order to be able to live near some professional stock loser? I would rather be mugged than hear Elton John through my wall."
Torn between living in immediate danger and immediate wet-towelness, gentrification has forced the hipsters to retreat to the north, unofficially designating "red zones" where hipsters are ill-advised to live. These zones can be seen by this carefully rendered map:
Hipsters also do not like gentrification because some righteous hippies on city council are using it as an excuse to close McCarren Pool (and by close I mean spend millions of dollars to make it an actual pool again). See the third thing Hipsters Don't Like for more on this.

There's fellatio almost everywhere you turn in the world of pornography, even, strangely enough, in lesbian porn. Blowjobs, then, are more common than almost any other sexual act but there's one kind of oral pleasuring that seems far too daring, even dangerous for most pornographers to ever mess with, but not Face Fucking. Devoted to the absolute nastiest, messiest, most brutally debasing and forceful deepthroat blowjobs its models can handle, Face Fucking goes where few women have gone before and tries to do it all without passing out from lack of fluids. What kind of fluids? I'll leave that to you to discover for yourself in nasty-ass HD episodes of Face Fucking.
Heavy-set women are usually ignored in porn, at least in the mainstream, but sites and networks like Plumperd - home of Fat Mams, BBW Sandwich, Fat Sitting, and BBW Fight Club - aim to change that by hosting hardcore romps starring women whose waistlines are as expansive as their sexual appetites. Although holding a small archive (especially for a network), the HD-heavy Plumperd is nevertheless worth a closer look.
The Czech Republic has long been one of those nations quietly contributing to the world of hardcore pornography. Over many decades, the Czechs have produced explicit pornography in their own style, starring their own performers, for their own devoted audience scattered around the world. PornCZ brings the often wild and wacky world of Czech porn to your small screen via its eleven exclusive hardcore sites. From superslut Susan Ayn to double-teamed MILFs and public facials, PornCZ just might one day become a national treasure.
Living life to its fullest, indulging your every want and whim, experiencing the best the world has to offer… all of these are traits of a swanky operator. They're also very close to the traits of Swank Pass, a 19-site network ranging from solo modeling to all-anal gangbangs courtesy of Anarchy Films, DVSX, Reality Kings, and other acclaimed porno studios. Swank Pass holds barely any exclusive content, but maybe, just maybe, its archive is hot enough that such things hardly matter. Is Swank Pass as swank as it believes itself to be? Let's find out!
As we toil away here in this Earthly realm in the hopes that something miraculously beautiful and completely joyous will greet us when our bodies give up and collapse. That's a long ways off, though, and we're frustrated enough right now! Enter Paradise Films, a Stiffia network site featuring semi-exclusive feature content from the studio of the very same name. Boasting 1080p HD videos and some of Europe's sauciest starlets, Paradise Films is very enjoyable, but by no means perfect. There you go: proof that paradise is far from infallible.
Teen Curves breaks from tradition, an often unspoken dictum that convinced late-teen and young adult women they should aim for slender, unassuming figures. On this Team Skeet site, it's the phat and fantastic asses of today's crop of newbie porno talent that's the cause of celebration. And when you see the asses in question, you'll be celebrating too (in your own special way)! Join Savannah Fox, Mandy Muse, and everyone's favorite perma-stoned skater chick, Keisha Grey for an asstastic time you won't soon forget, all at Teen Curves.
Trading in the porn-standard facials, pearl necklaces, and oral injections of milky white spooge for vaginal creampies, Teen Pies sees porn's most promising young starlets lean back, spread their legs, and work their pussies into a most accepting state of readiness. Fucked then filled by some studly young fellas, the Teen Pies girls let the cum seep from their snatches, rubbing it in or dipping their fingers for a taste, and let the Team Skeet crew's cameras catch it all for posterity. You'll never enjoy creampies like this is real life with anyone but your trusted steady lay - and if you do with your occasional fuck buddy, be fucking careful, dude - so why not enjoy the slightly dangerous side of orgasmic expulsions with Team Skeet's latest addition, Teen Pies.
You've not lived if you haven't been inside a tight-gripping Japanese babe. And you've not lived as a king if you haven't been inside the ultra-restrictive rear passage of an extremely tight-gripping Japanese babe. So, perhaps you'd enjoy a vicarious wander through the annals of the sordid anal sex scene of contemporary Japan. (It's actually a great deal more fun than many imagine!)

James McDougal Hart
James McDougal Hart | |
James M. Hart (ca. 1865-1867). Photo by Rockwood.
Born | Scotland |
May 10, 1828
Died | October 24, 1901 Brooklyn, New York |
(aged 73)
Nationality | American |
Education | Hudson River School |
Known for | Landscape art, Painting |
James McDougal Hart (May 10, 1828 – October 24, 1901), was a Scottish-born American landscape and cattle painter of the Hudson River School. His older brother, William Hart, was also a Hudson River School artist, and the two painted similar subjects.
Hart was born in Kilmarnock, Scotland, and was taken to America with his family in early youth. In Albany, New York he trained with a sign and carriage maker—possibly the same employer that had taken on his brother in his early career. Unlike his brother, however, James returned to Europe for serious artistic training. He studied in Munich, and was a pupil of Friedrich Wilhelm Schirmer at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf. He is associated with the Düsseldorf school of painting.
Hart returned to America in 1853. He exhibited his first work at the National Academy of Design in 1848, became an associate in 1857 and a full member in 1859. James Hart was particularly devoted to the National Academy, exhibiting there over a period of more than forty years, and serving as vice president late in his life from 1895 to 1899. Like his brother, James also exhibited at the Brooklyn Art Association (he lived for a time in Brooklyn) and at major exhibitions around the country.
Along with most of the major landscape artists of the time, Hart based his operations in New York City and adopted the style of the Hudson River School. While James Hart and his brother William often painted similar landscape subjects, James may have been more inclined to paint exceptionally large works. An example is The Old Homestead (1862), 42 x 68 inches, in the collection of the High Museum of Art in Atlanta, Georgia. James may have been exposed to large paintings while studying in Düsseldorf, a center of realist art pedagogy that also shaped the practices of Albert Bierstadt and Worthington Whittredge. William Hart, who did not seek academic European training, seems to have been more comfortable painting small and mid-sized works.
Like his brother William, James excelled at painting cattle. Kevin J. Avery writes, "the bovine subjects that once distinguished [his works] now seem the embodiment of Hart's artistic complacency." (p. 250 in American Drawings and Watercolors in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Volume I: A Catalogue of Works by Artists Born Before 1835) In contrast with the complacency of some of his cattle scenes, his major landscape paintings are considered important works of the Hudson River School. A particularly fine example is Summer in the Catskills, now in the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum in Madrid, Spain.
James Hart was survived by two daughters, both figure painters, Letitia Bonnet Hart (1867 - Sept. 1953) and Mary Theresa Hart (1872–1942). He is interred at Green-Wood Cemetery in Brooklyn, New York.
A Stream in the Adirondacks (1859), oil on canvas, 21.125 x 35.25 inch.; collection of Walters Art Museum

Price: £151,000
Engine capacity: 6.0-litre, twin turbo-charged W12
Power Output (BHP @ rpm): 616 @ 6,000
Top Speed (mph): 205
0-60 mph (seconds): 4
Fuel economy (mph): 19.5

How fast is fast enough? If you are Bentley the answer to that question is 205mph exactly. That's the top speed of the Crewe-based firm's new Continental GT Speed. It's a staggering turn of pace for a road-going car, even one as luxurious as this continent-crossing grand tourer. The technical challenges alone are mind boggling, before you begin to start to think about where this sort of straight-line speed is actually achievable.
The aerodynamic stresses are incredible. I'm told that at 205mph the side windows are sucked out with such force that the A pillar has had to be reinforced and Bentley had to design special seals to keep the glass in place. Meanwhile at that speed the car is swallowing up somewhere near 4,000 litres of air a second so the firm's engineers have had to incorporate all kinds of chassis and down-force black magic to keep it on the road. This is before you start to think about the uprated suspension springs Bentley has had to fit or the vice-like brakes required to stop it.
There's something even more amazing about all of this though; the GT Speed is still a properly civilised car to drive and spend time in. Its 616bhp engine – up from 576bhp in the standard Continental – is monstrous but it hasn't ruined the car. Don't get me wrong: the GT Speed is still a total weapon and only my caution and its four-wheel drive system keep me planted on my icy test route through the New Forest, but it's still a seriously luxurious and refined four-seater.
Unlike many 2+2 coupés, two adults can actually survive in the back and with a supple suspension and peerless noise suppression its touring manners are terrific. Inside the only letdown on my test model is the beluga hide, which hints at Bentley's bling footballer clientele. I worry I've become complicit in the slaughter of a rare arctic whale, but thankfully it's just named after the caviar, so I'm only guilty of awful taste.
There is one major issue that arises from all the power under the GT Speed's bonnet, though. When you are pressing on with your foot down into a corner there's so much puffed-up air in the engine's intake system that when you take your foot of the accelerator, that air has still got to work its way through the engine. There's a second delay when you take your foot off the throttle and the car continues to surge forward. You soon get used to it, though, and what else do you expect from the fastest Bentley ever made?
Never mind that you can only use a third of the GT Speed's power legally on the road, the Continental is the car that saved Bentley when it was launched 10 years ago and more than 42,000 have been sold since then. The new Speed GT is the apogee of the company's revival and in sport mode – with its throaty roar and pops and crackles on the overrun – it is a wondrous thing. There's just one problem. You could opt for the smaller-engined V8 version from the Bentley stable. It still produces 500bhp and will hit 180mph. In what world do we live when this isn't fast enough? Perhaps I'm missing the point: if you are spending £150,000 plus on a motor you probably want it to be something you can brag about in the pub (or the Michelin-star restaurants pre-programmed into the Bentley's satnav). And the fastest ever Bentley gets some bragging rights. Did I mention it does 205mph?

I'll try to help you out here. When you're figuring static compression ratio, you need 5 figures.
Cylinder volume (.7854 times cylinder bore times cylinder bore times crankshaft stroke times 16.387 to find cc's) Cylinder head combustion chamber volume (usually given in cc's) Head gasket volume (.7854 times bore times bore times compressed thickness times 16.387 to find cc's) Deck height volume (deck height is the distance from piston crown to block deck with piston at top dead center) (.7854 times cylinder bore times cylinder bore times deck height times 16.387 to find cc's) Piston crown volume (normally given in cc's by the manufacturer) When the piston comes down in the bore, all 5 of these volumes are filled with air/fuel mixture. When the piston comes back to the top of the bore to compress, the mixture is compressed into all the volumes except the cylinder. So for instance, if you were drawing in 10 parts of mixture and you compressed them into 1 part, the motor would be 10.0:1 static compression ratio. Changing any of the volumes will change the static compression ratio. Boring the cylinder larger will increase the cylinder volume and increase the SCR. Using a head with a smaller combustion chamber or having a machine shop take a cut off the deck of your heads will decrease the volume and will increase the SCR. Using a thinner gasket that has less volume will increase the SCR. Cutting the block decks to decrease the piston deck height or using a piston with a taller compression height to decrease the piston deck height will increase the SCR. Changing the piston to one with less volume in the crown will increase the SCR. Let's run through this and you'll see how to figure this stuff for yourself. This will be an elementary lesson, assuming that you know nothing. The 350 has a bore and stroke of 4.057" X 3.385". Get your calculator in front of you. Clear it. Press .7854 Press X Press 4.057 Press X Press 4.057 Press X Press 3.385 Press X Press 16.387 Press = You should have gotten 717.06584 This is the number of cc's in a 350 Olds cylinder. Drop the last three digits and call it 717.06, so now we have the cylinder volume. Let's say the head you have is a ID Code 8, casting number 411929. This would be a smog head with 79cc chambers, so now we have the chamber volume. Let's say you measured a used head gasket out of your motor and it had a 4.100" bore and was compressed to 0.040". Clear your calculator Press .7854 Press X Press 4.100 Press X Press 4.100 Press X Press .040 Press X Press 16.387 Press = You should have gotten 8.65 Now, we have the gasket volume in cc's. Let's say that you measured the piston deck height at 0.037". Clear your calculator. Press .7854 Press X Press 4.057 (the cylinder bore) Press X Press 4.057 Press X Press .037 Press X Press 16.387 Press = You should have gotten 7.83 Now, we have the piston deck height in cc's Let's say the piston is a flat-top with no valve reliefs, so there is nothing to figure. If it had valve reliefs (notches cut into the piston crown), or was a dished piston, we would have to either look up the information or pour the notches/dish with a cc burrette and fluid. Now, we have our 5 values. (the piston crown value is 0) Add all of them together. You should get 812.54 cc's. That's the total amount of mixture drawn in on the intake stroke. Now, remove the cylinder volume from the total. 812.54 less 717.06 = 95.48 cc's. That's the volume into which all of the drawn-in volume is compressed. Now if we divide 812.54 by 95.48, we will find a 8.51:1 static compression ratio for this motor. OK, you should now be armed with enough information to figure the compression ratio on any motor without the aid of an online calculator. The whole point of this is that you have to know where you are before you know where you're going. If you begin changing parts around without knowing how they will impact the outcome, you might just as well take up knitting and leave the hot rodding to someone else who will take the time to learn and figure it out for themselves. As you arrive at each answer on your calculator, write it down on a sheet of paper. When you have all 5 values written down, draw a line under them. Add them on your calculator. Draw another short line under the total and write down the total of the 4 values (the entire total less the cylinder volume). Then write an = sign to the right of the 4 values total. Do your division like I instructed above and write the static compression ratio to the right. Like this.... 717.06 cyl 79 cham 8.65 gask 7.83 deck 0 pist -------------- 812.54 total drawn in ---- 95.48 total compressed = 8.51 Now, I've spent an appreciable amount of time doing this for you, but I did it because others helped me when I was 16 and I figure it's my turn to give some back to a youngster. Say thank you. Last edited by techinspector1; 12-30-2008 at 02:09 AM. |

One other consideration is that the stock head gaskets had a compressed thickness of around 0.014". The more common FelPro blue head gaskets seal better but have a compressed thickness of around 0.040". This results in about a 1/4 to 1/2 point drop in compression. |
First off, techinspector1, that helped GREATLY. Thanks for running through all that for me. I didn't expect anyone to take that much time answering my post, but it's appreciated
joe_padavano, I'm starting with a 1971 motor, I do know that much... so what I am getting from this... Is that one thing I should be looking at doing is getting some new pistons that would be correct for what I want. Anyone, how much material is commonly taken off of a head when getting it milled (is that the right word anyway, bah....). I've head of guys taking their heads in and getting all kinds of material taken off but what is a safe amount? I think I have read .024 would be safe and wouldn't mess with your intake any... but is this true? I have also heard that taking off to much material will give you valve issues.... Help again please. I thought i know stuff about engines before I started to think about building one... turns out, I got a long way to go |
Zach, are you planning on a complete rebuild of this engine? If so then you should tear the whole thing down (if you haven't already) and find out exactly what you are starting with. If you tear it down and it's determined that the cylinders need to be bored then new pistons are a must anyway.
If you decide to keep the short block intact then at the very least pull the heads and look in the holes to get some idea of what you have. You may or may not be able to bring your compression up with just a head swap. Either way, you need to figure out what compression you have now because if you don't you could end up with too much and you won't be able to drive it on gas you get from your neighborhood gas station. And at 16 you're probably not going to like having to pay for a full tank of race gas every time you fill the car up. That stuff is not cheap. |
yeah... yer right... I will be looking at everything eventually. I guess I'm just getting a little far ahead of myself. Just asking questions for future reference is all. And racing fuel isnt cheap... yer right... I think it was like 5 bucks a gallon last summer....
What are your goals for the vehicle?
If the cylinder walls are in good shape yet (somewhat unlikely since the engine is 38 years old) you might get by with reusing the pistons.....but you probably won't get much compression with them. Your best bet would be to bore the block .030 over and get smaller dished pistons, or flat-tops. I have successfully milled small block Olds cylinder heads .060" with no issues. The intake did have to be milled to fit, though. As far as combustion chamber sizes go, I have found the #7 and #7a heads to be around 69-71cc's from the factory. My #7 heads were milled .060" and after a three-angle valve job, they were 60cc's. As for head gasket options, Corteco makes a reasonably priced composite gasket that measures .028" thick compressed as opposed to the Fel-Pro .039". |
I think the techinspector's answer is wrong. The stock 350 olds has dished pistons, and it is listed as 8.5 to 1 compression. How in the world would flat top pistons yield the same?
You do realize people still read these? Wrong is wrong, no matter the time elapsed.
Which, unfortunately, also applies to your conclusions. First, Olds varied CR using piston dish size on 1972-earlier motors. These 350s used heads with about 64 cc. Later 350 motors used a shallow dish and much larger chambers in the heads. His calculation assumed the 1973-76 No. 8 smog heads with 79 cc chambers. He also used a head gasket compressed height of about 0.040", which is right for the modern FelPro blue gaskets. Stock Olds was a steel shim gasket with a compressed height of less than half of that. Finally, most advertised CR figures are optimistic blueprint numbers. Real world CR on Olds motors ALWAYS comes in worse than advertised due to manufacturing tolerances. The as-cast chambers on Olds heads are always larger than the publicised numbers, mainly because the publicised numbers are the NHRA stock blueprint values. The as-cast heads are larger to allow for resurfacing during a valve job without raising CR to an unacceptable level.
You can believe that if you want. I read what his answer was based on, and I can comprehend what I read. I wasn't talking about 72 and earlier engines. The engines he is talking about had 8.5 to 1 compression from the factory. And don't give me this crap about "manufacturing tolerances." They weren't manufacturing baby dolls, their tolerances are the same tolerances we would build an engine to. Adding flat top pistons is not going to yield the same 8.5 to 1 compression. It's physically impossible.
Nowhere did the Inspector say his example was starting with a 8.5-1 compression engine....He was starting with teaching example actual measured values for part dimensions (bore, stroke, gasket, and piston volume) and using the #8 head casting for head volume values....... starting as if the engine was just a pile of parts on a bench, .......not starting with an existing 8.5-1 compression engine. He was showing the Original Poster how to do the math....that would help him build correctly blueprinted engines of any type or brand. And if you believe factory tolerances on as-cast combustion chambers volumes are dead accurate....then you have just shown you don't have much experience with 30+ year old castings.....they are almost universally larger than published "blueprint" figures, across the entire automotive industry, doesn't matter what brand you choose. By the way, flat top pistons and 79cc heads on a 350 cube engine is going to be a near 8.5-1 compression ratio...again, doesn't matter what brand it is....Olds, Chevy, Ford, Chrysler, AMC, or whatever,..... plain old basic math proves it. Careful who you "call out" here, there are some smart folks on the forums..... Now man-up and admit you blew it would be a nice appropriate gesture... |
I never said he started with anything. Go look at any publication, and they all tell you the engine has 8.5 to 1 compression. Is Oldsmobile lying? Is Chilton's lying? I have no doubt there are smart people on the forum. I just know that you can't take an engine with dished pistons, put in flat tops, and have the same compression. Why is that so hard for you to comprehend?

Removing front suspension coil springs?
I was just looking in the assembly and shop manuals, and the directions and figures made me even more confused on how to remove the front suspenion coil springs. How exactly is this done? :

Well... this is what I did:
1. Remove the castellated nut that connects the lower control arm ball joint to the steering knuckle.
2. Loosen the TOP castellated nut that connects the upper control arm ball joint to the steering knuckle.
3. Using a heavy hammer and a block of wood, hit the lower control arm --- the upper steering knuckle connection should break away and drop to lay on top of the loosened nut.
4. Using a floor jack and the same block of wood, jack up the bottom of the lower control arm and lift to relieve the pressure on the sterring knuckle.
5. Remove the TOP castellated nut, and then SLOWLY lower the floor jack -- thus lowering the control arm -- and also the spring.
This is how I removed both of my coil springs... not sure what the books say.
In retrospect, I could have (or maybe should have!) also used a chain to wrap around the coil spring for extra safety.
Hope helpful.

HIV stands for human immunodeficiency virus. If left untreated, HIV can lead to the disease AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome). Unlike some other viruses, the human body can't get rid of HIV completely. So once you have HIV, you have it for life.
The symptoms of HIV can differ from person-to-person and some people may not get any symptoms at all. Without treatment, the virus will get worse over time and damage your immune system. We look at the 13 stages of HIV infection and possible effects. Here are some of the signs and symptoms that may come with HIV infection:
1. Fever
If you have practiced unprotected sex, watch out for fevers as a symptom of HIV. Early after being infected by HIV, you may experience flu like symptoms. This can include a low grade fever that does not respond to medication. You may experience night sweats as a response to the fever. The fever is an inflammatory reaction to the virus entering your blood stream.
2. Body Aches
Sore muscles and joint pain are common symptoms of HIV infection that occur in the early flu like phase. This can be caused by the swollen lymph nodes, or from rheumatic illnesses. Rheumatic disease affects the muscles and joints of the body, causing inflammation. This disease can lead to arthritis, fibromyalgia, and vasculitis. Some HIV medications can also cause these symptoms.
3. Sore Throat
Sore throat may be an early indicator of HIV infection. This may be an early symptom as the body reacts to the viral infection. It can also occur later in the disease as the infected individuals immune system becomes compromised. Sore throat may be caused by thrush in the mouth or esophagus, and ulcers. Chronic throat problems should be checked out by your family doctor.
4. Cough
A dry, persistent cough can be a long term symptom of HIV infection. This symptom is not typically cured with medications like antibiotics and cough suppressants. Coughing may be an early symptom as the body reacts to the new virus. It is also a long term symptom caused by the damaged immune system. The cough may develop into pneumonia, which can be a serious symptom with dangerous effects.
5. Swollen Lymph Nodes
Swollen lymph nodes may be a starting sign of HIV infection. 67% of HIV sufferers may experience some sort of lymph node swelling. This commonly occurs in the neck, under arms, and groin region. Lymph nodes are distributed all throughout the body so any abnormal swelling could be a symptom. Lymph nodes swell as the immune system is activated and the body fights off infection.
6. Headaches
One of the first symptoms of the flu related symptoms of HIV is an unrelenting headache. The headaches may develop into chronic debilitating migraines. Migraines become chronic after affecting a person for 15 or more days per month. 50% of people infected with HIV will experience headaches as a symptom, while 27% will experience chronic migraines. This is compared to the general population, where only 2% of people suffer from chronic migraines.
7. Weight Loss
Weight loss in HIV infected individuals is common through the progression of the disease. When first infected, the flu like symptoms can cause nausea, diarrhea, and vomiting. This can cause a temporary loss in weight. As the illness progresses, weight loss can be caused by a condition called "AIDS wasting". The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services categorize a person as having AIDS wasting when they have lost 10% or more of their body weight, and have experienced related weight loss symptoms for a period greater than 30 days.
8. Yeast Infection
As HIV develops, the infected persons immune system becomes compromised. One of the starting symptoms of a failing immune system is bodily infections. Yeast infections are very common, and they affect more than just women. The cause of this infection is a fungus called Candida. It can affect the body in different ways, such as vaginal yeast infections, thrush, intestinal infections, and more. Getting rid of these infections may prove futile until HIV medication is in place.
9. Fatigue
Fatigue associated with HIV may be the most under-reported symptom. Many people suffer from chronic fatigue but do not realize it is a medical condition. Chronic fatigue is tiredness that cannot be alleviated with rest. Fatigue is first reported in the flu like symptoms that accompany the early stages of HIV. Once this phase is complete, fatigue may not appear until AIDS develops.
10. Night Sweats
As the HIV infection develops in the body, flu like symptoms can appear. One of the most annoying and notable symptoms is night sweats. The sufferer may go to bed at a good temperature, but through the night may experience widely ranging body temperatures, going from very cold to very hot quite quickly. The physical response of the body is to pour sweat to regulate the temperature. The person may wake up soaking wet and have to change their sheets and clothing.
11. Skin Rash
Skin rash is one of the most common symptoms of HIV. Called the "HIV rash", this symptom can be seen in approximately 85% of cases. The rash may develop into blisters at the warm moist areas of the body, including genitals and facial regions. Most rashes develop on the trunk of the body. The appearance of the rash is red bumps that may itch and peel.
12. Cold Sores
Cold sores can be a symptom of HIV. Cold sores are caused by the Herpes Simplex virus. It can occur as genital, rectal, or oral herpes. Anyone can be infected with herpes, regardless of their HIV status. Those who are infected with HIV and have cold sores may suffer from recurrent outbreaks of the herpes virus.
13. None
The most dangerous symptom of HIV is having none at all. Many of those infected do not know they are. This can be particularly dangerous as the person may continue to have unprotected sex, potentially spreading the disease. In 2001, it is estimated that less than 1% of the population has been tested for HIV. In South Africa, it is estimated that over 5 million people are infected. If you think you are at risk for HIV, get tested right away.

Re: What Is The Best Way To Sanitize A Used Bird Cage?
A product I really like is F10. Only in the last few years did it become readily available to the average pet parent
link Quote:
F10 is non-corrosive, non-toxic, non-irritating and aldehyde free so has no adverse effects on people, animals, equipment or surfaces. It has been proven effective at recommended concentrations against all types of bacteria, fungi and spores including MRSA, avian influenza, psittacine beak and feather disease, canine parvovirus, e.coli, aspergillus and a host of others.
F10SC Veterinary Disinfectant can be used in a wide range of applications — disinfecting cages, water bowls, floors, racks, shelving, perches and toys, food preparation areas, inside incubators, washing eggs and decontaminating hands. F10SC can also be applied as a fog or fine spray to mist rooms to eradicate airborne microbes and to stop cross contamination. F10SC is active against bacteria, fungi and spores. It is an excellent product for achieving a high level of biosecurity and poses no hazard to yourself or your animals when used at recommended concentrations. F10 products are non- toxic, non-corrosive & biodegradable. F10SC can be sprayed on and left to disinfect after cleaning with no need to rinse off. Unlike many other products F10 stays active providing an ongoing residual effect.

To really sanitize it use the F10SC. Sorry but bleach and vinegar doesn't kill the stuff off like this stuff does. Just remember, with the SC one you must rinse if off really well.
Re: What Is The Best Way To Sanitize A Used Bird Cage?
I scrubbed the cage down outside, hosed it down, and used Hibitane on it, then rinsed very well and left it in the sun to dry...put the cage in the sun for a few days and all was well....
The bird has been living happy and healthy in the cage since the summer... |
Re: What Is The Best Way To Sanitize A Used Bird Cage?
For the actual cleaning, aside from disinfecting, I use a water blaster, the same type people often use for cars, bikes and concrete driveways (gets algae off). Much better than scrubbing as the water stream will reach into nooks & crannies that brushes miss.

The Supreme Court has agreed to consider whether a dog-bite victim is entitled to monetary compensation from the government.
"Which forum should the victim go to seek compensation in the dog bite cases, especially in case of death? We need to also lay down the criteria for grant of such compensation and the authority to look into such claims should be fixed," a bench headed by justice Dipak Misra.
It will on April 5 take up the application of Kerala-based Jos Sebastian whose wife, a MNREGA worker, was killed after she was bit by a stray dog.
Appearing for the petitioner, advocate VK Biju, argued that it was the State's responsibility to look after its citizens. He complained there was no department to look into the grievances of a dog bite victim.
Kerala state counsel offered to grant compensation to Sebastian from the chief minister's relief fund. "He can move the human rights commission for monetary claim," the advocate told the bench, which was not convinced with the state's explanation.
SC had on March 9 asked states and civic bodies to take steps to sterilise and vaccinate nuisance-causing stray dogs under the provisions of the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act.
Senior advocate Dushyant Dave, who is assisting the court as amicus curiae, had said that balance needs to be created as there were instances of death due to dog bites. Dave had said he was yet to come across news where animal-loving NGOs have come forward to help victims of dog bites and hence, the need of the hour is to strike a balance.
