If you've mastered Python's fundamentals, you're ready to start using it to get real work done. Programming Python will show you how, with in-depth tutorials on the language's primary application domains: system administration, GUIs, and the Web. You'll also explore how Python is used in databases, networking, front-end scripting layers, text processing, and more. This book focuses on commonly used tools and libraries to give you a comprehensive understanding of Python's many roles in practical, real-world programming.
You'll learn language syntax and programming techniques in a clear and concise manner, with lots of examples that illustrate both correct usage and common idioms. Completely updated for version 3.x, Programming Python also delves into the language as a software development tool, with many code examples scaled specifically for that purpose.
Topics include:
Mark Lutz is the world leader in Python training, the author of Python's earliest and best-selling texts, and a pioneering figure in the Python community since 1992. He has been a software developer for 25 years, and is the author of O'Reilly's Programming Python, 3rd Edition and Python Pocket Reference, 3rd Edition.

The animal on the cover of Programming Python isan African rock python, one of approximately 18 species of python. Pythonsare nonvenomous constrictor snakes that live in tropical regions of Africa,Asia, Australia, and some Pacific Islands. Pythons live mainly on theground, but they are also excellent swimmers and climbers. Both male andfemale pythons retain vestiges of their ancestral hind legs. The male pythonuses these vestiges, or spurs, when courting a female. The python kills its prey by suffocation. While the snake's sharpteeth grip and hold the prey in place, the python's long body coils aroundits victim's chest, constricting tighter each time it breathes out. Pythonsfeed primarily on mammals and birds. Python attacks on humans are extremelyrare. The cover image is a 19th-century engraving from the DoverPictorial Archive.

Thorough and Extremely Helpeful
By vvvv
from New York, NY
Comments about oreilly Programming Python, 4th Edition:
This book is not meant to teach Python; instead it's meant to teach the Python standard library and how it can be used for actual programming. For that purpose, this book does an extremely good job - it is thorough and insightful in ways that cannot be achieved in a smaller volume.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

The Big Friendly Giant of python books
By Oddcog
from Netherlands
This is a broad and deep book covering a wide range of subjects in considerable detail. Some people complain about the verbosity, and there is some truth in this: think of 40 pages of foreword and preface then 20 pages of introductory small talk before getting down to brass tacks in chapter 2. But I really like this chapter. It takes a fairly common programming task (keeping employee records) and shows how to implement it using progressively more sophisticated features of the Python programming language. I find it a brilliant introduction to Python. My only quibble is that it is in the wrong book: it should really be in 'Learning Python', by the same author.The book is well written; information is presented at an appropriate rate and level of detail so that you can steadily build up your understanding of a topic. There are plenty of examples ranging in size from small snippets to compete applications.The sheer size of the book can be a problem. I am very fond of it but I often check in one of my smaller books when I need to look something up quickly. This book really shows its strength when I need to get a handle on a subject but the official docs are too terse and lacking in examples. After an hour with this book I have the overview and insight to make use of the docs (if still needed).I am pleased that the index has been improved. It is a lot better than the sorry mess that defiled the third edition. It is better organized and has fewer omissions. I find this important because the book contains so much detail that I often want to look up passages that I have read before.Overall, it is an excellent tutorial to programming in Python. It is expensive but you get as much as three normal books for your money and it has saved me a lot of time trawling the Internet for information.

Old and too big
By Filip the housecat

About Me Developer
I was hoping to buy a reference book on Python but was presented with a super long and super heavy book on old topics such as CGI and how to build ancient user interfaces with Tk/Tcl.Bottom line: This book is too big for my trash can :(
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Great Book
By dourouc05
from Liège, Belgique
About Me Student
Some thought this book was to give them the basics about Python 3.x; turn the book, it is written: the readers are supposed to have a "previous programming experience." The first chapters are no different, the syntax will not be explained. Actually, you do not need to know Python's syntax to fully understand the book. Programming experience is enough, examples are given in the right order, the best practices are explained not in full details when related to the core language (however, even if he said he will not, the author spends some lines outlining what is really needed). No, it is not required to have completely read a introductive text about Python; of course, it helps, the reader can get more quickly into the full depth of the examples. Throughout the book you can find examples - realistic, complete (up to thousands of lines for PyMailGUI) -, not a few lines explaining only the concept; you will find there examples for you to understand everything about the studied concept, along with more detailed examples, with comments, concept explanation paragraphs, and the like. One can say he builds his examples step by step, no one can get lost - even when he starts with threads, a subject many developers just do not like, he manages to make everyone completely aware of all those technical subtleties about beginning with threads. Everything here is also shown in use in real world applications. Examples also mean that the whole book is not all about theory, there are some examples chapters, chapters totally dedicated to a single example, using many snippets written before (code reutilisation is important). Almost every main subject in Python is covered: system programming, as Python is a replacement for Perl, Bash scripts, etc.; GUIs, as Python can do as much as C++ can in the GUIs' world; Internet, as Python is growing fast with frameworks like Django or Zope (even though any of these is covered: none currently supports Python 3). The main problem is that important things cannot find a place in that book: ZODB, Zope, Django, MySQL, etc. are not yet ported to Python 3; the book only covers Python 3 and thus cannot say much about these. Note that ZODB is shown, in its Python 2 flavour, to show the basics about OODB; wilingly, no Web framework is getting more than a paragraph or two, these technologies are said to change often. Though this is an impressive book (about 1,600 pages), it is almost impossible to cover so many subjects in so few pages. Even if it lacks a few topics, this book is more than far complete. Some chapters help you understand the basics of things that cannot be covered (CGI scripting is shown, it is not used anymore for new Web projects, but current Web frameworks are based on these principles).Note: I got this book thanks to a parternship between Developpez.com and O'Reilly.

Not for the beginners, but still great!
By The Spanish Inquisition
from Munich, Germany
About Me Developer, Sys Admin
If you decide to buy this book, there a few things you should know: it doesn't have a language reference and it is not meant for a complete beginners in Python. Having that in mind, the book is amazingly good structured, with short and concise examples that will get you where you need to go with either language fundamentals or with some advanced examples. It is focused on Python 3.x so if you're still programming in version 2.x, better get some other book.
Still My number One
By Joy of Duck
from UK
About Me Developer, Educator
I learned so much about programming properly from the first edition of this book that I have bought every edition since. Mark's writing style really suites the context of exploring Python through code. In my opinion, the example applications could have done with more of a refresh for the fourth edition, especially as 3.X brought so many new features to explore. Highly recommended for programmers new to Python, or Python programmers looking to up their game.

well written, but theclassic needs a cut
By Chemaper
from Valladolid, Spain
This review is a partial translation of my full review in Spanish: http://chemaper.blogspot.com/2011/04/book-review-programming-python.html. Sorry for my bad English and thanks O'Reilly Media for the free copy of the book (Blogger Review Program).The book "Programming Python" covers how to use Python in several domains: system programming, text processing (both traditional fields of Perl), rapid desktop GUIs development and Internet applications.The book does not cover the learning of the language. This is the target of the first book of the "Python saga" of Mark Lutz, "Learning Python". Reading "Learning Python" before "Programming Python" is not required, but a strong previous knowledge of Python it is. A third book of Python ecosystem is "Python Pocket Reference", a very useful and brief book.This new edition of "Programming Python" is updated to cover Python 3.x. Indeed, it covers Python 3 only; when something is different between Python 2.x and 3.x the book alerts about it but only explains the 3.0 API. This is OK if you are migrating from 2.x to 3.x, but if you are new in Python and need to use 2.x version (some modules are not updated yet) you will need a extra reference book or go to original documentation. For example, "Python Pocket Reference" covers both 2.x y 3.x versions.If you buy the ebook, I recommend the O'Reilly shop, because users has a bookshelf with their books in multiple formats. I think this is useful. For example, while testing and playing with the examples in the laptop, the PDF version is the best option. But 1600 pages are a lot to read in a computer PDF reader and a ebook reader (EPUB, Kindle) is better for relax reading sessions. The book format for Kindle is good, but comments in source code at the rigth end of the line instead of in the line before are bad with little screens of e-readers.The book is very clear and good written. It has a lot of examples. Then why only 3 stars?The negative side is that 1600 pages are a lot (even if we forget that the other book already has 1200 ). I think that sometimes the book is reiterative and many parts needs a cut. IMHO system programming and text processing contents are OK, but Internet client-side (e.g. the mail program) and TkInter parts should be shorter. Tkinter for example is good for scripts, but full applications now are written mainly with more advanced Python libraries as wxWidgets, Qt or GTK+ bindings. First edition of the book is near 15 years ago and perhaps contents are too old now.Yes, the book is updated with the last features of Python 3.0, but most people today does not think in written POP, news or FTP clients nor in mail clients with Tkinter GUI.I recommend studying the table of contents before buying this book. It the table of contents and extension is good for you, this book is a great election. But most people I know prefer a book shorter and with some changes in the contents.

Your Python collection needs it
By Eder Andres Avila
from Paipa, Colombia
About Me University Student
So you know the Python basic constructs, however probably you don't know how to build more complex programs. 'Programming Python 4th Edition' is the next step you can take in order to understand how to work with the operating system, parallel processing, traditional graphical user interfaces, and network and Internet resources. By learning this book, you'll be ready to use the Python programming language to start building applications able to serve real business problems within the context of desktop development.This books explores in additional programming constructs than the exposed ones in the author's previous book 'Learning Python 4th Edition'. Due to its extension and coverage, we can call these two books as Volume 1 (Learning Python) and Volume 2 (Programming Python) each one with 1000+ pages. But the benefit is that you'll find examples about how to work with expected programming scenarios such as processing threads, file storage, canvas drawing, and network consumption.But, there are interesting topics not enough covered yet like database handling (Object-Relational, SQL, Procedures, exceptions) and data and process security. The last is an critical concern because it is also import protect both source code and data integrity from any information spy, cracker, and thief.Despite these missing topics, I recommend this book because it leads us to develop more complete programs that just declaring some classes and methods. With this book we are closer to build full applications using the next generation programming language. Thanks what I believe.Note: This book review is in exchange of the O'Reilly Blogger Review Program (http://oreilly.com/bloggers/)

Has anyone ever tried to put a Santa Hat on your bucket? I'm doing a Santa Parade on Saturday and have been thinking of how I could do this without busting off the RF or damaging the paint. You probably need to use two hats to make one bigger hat to fit over the bucket. Maybe a cut out for the RF?

text: Scholarships & Fellowships Quick Links Scholarships & Fellowships Available by Unit Scholarship/Fellowship Search Office for Student Financial Affairs Machen Florida Opportunity Scholarships Undergraduate scholarships and graduate fellowships are forms of aid that help students pay for their educations. Unlike loans, they do not have to be repaid. Scholarship criteria vary. Generally, scholarships and fellowships are reserved for students with special qualifications, such as academic, athletic or artistic talent. Awards are also available for students who are interested in particular fields of study, who live in certain areas of the country or who demonstrate financial need. Endowed scholarship and fellowship funds are made possible by the generosity of our friends and alumni. As permanent funds, they are critical to the University of Florida because they generate predictable, growing streams of income in perpetuity. Moreover, scholarships and fellowships provide great encouragement to our students - financially and emotionally. Students who have received these scholarships often note that this help came at a time when they were unsure they could be able to continue their studies. Simply knowing that someone cared enough to contribute financially to support them renewed their sense of purpose and commitment to their educations. After graduating, many UF students go on to successful careers and are eager to "repay" their alma mater for the help they received. In creating student assistance funds, they not only strengthen our school by enabling UF to recruit the best and brightest students from around the world - they also show students the value of philanthropy and the joy of helping others. Through the generosity of our donors, generations of scholars for years to come will be able to receive financial assistance to pursue their academic goals. We would like to pay tribute to these donors here, as well as list their scholarship fund criteria and application information. For information about student financial aid at the University of Florida, please contact the Office for Student Financial Affairs at (352) 392-1275.

Andrew Gold
In 1975, Gold released his self-titled solo debut; its follow-up, What's Wrong with This Picture?, was his commercial breakthrough, notching an international hit with "Lonely Boy." "Never Let Her Slip Away, " from 1978's All This and Heaven Too, also reached the British Top Five, but the album's most enduring moment remains "Thank You for Being a Friend, " the blockbuster ballad later remade as the theme song for the hit sitcom The Golden Girls. However, 1980's Whirlwind stiffed, and Gold was cut loose from his contract with Asylum. After spending the early part of the decade touring with Ronstadt, he teamed with 10cc alumnus Graham Gouldman to form Common Knowledge, recording a self-titled LP in 1984. Gold and Goldman then rechristened their duo project Wax UK, notching a minor hit in 1986 with "Right Between the Eyes." "Bridge to Your Heart" was a British smash in 1987, but after 1989's A Hundred Thousand in Fresh Notes, Wax UK disbanded.
Returning to his solo career in 1991, Gold issued his first effort in over a decade, Home Is Where the Heart Is, before immersing himself in production work for artists ranging from Nicolette Larsen to Stephen Bishop to Eikichi Yazawa. In 1995, he reunited with Bonoff, Edwards, and Waldman in a new incarnation of Bryndle, releasing an eponymous LP before Gold's move to Connecticut forced him to leave the group soon after. 1996 saw the release of a new solo effort, ...Since 1951, as well as Halloween Howls, a record for children. Leftovers, a collection of unreleased material, followed in 1998. After producing country singer Lisa Angelle's self-titled debut in 2000, Gold released his own collection of country songs, The Spence Manor Suite. 2003's Wax Bikini collected rare material from Gold's days in Wax, and in 2005, Collectors' Choice Music reissued his first four solo albums with bonus tracks. The 2008 album Copy Cat was a new recording but heavy on covers (especially Lennon/McCartney). Copy Cat would be the last solo album released during his lifetime. After battling cancer. Andrew Gold died in his sleep at his home in Encino, California on June 3, 2011. He was 59 years old. ~ Jason Ankeny

madstork: If you mean "Were there advantages", then not really. I did like the super smooth wheel though.. it made weapon switching crazy easy. Once you get used to it, and learn to not pick up the mouse at ALL, then it's ok.
veeSPIKE: Welcome to the forums, and thanks for the comments. Thanks for clarifying about the mouse wheel, I had no idea the MS Mouse had it.
As for the gaming aspect, I agree. The main problem I had "was" lifting the mouse off the desk. I tend to move the mouse too close to the edge of the desk while playing, so it's a habit to lift it and put it back, and that's where it kicked my butt.
That's interesting about you having to file down the mouse for the button to work. That's definitely the first time I have heard of that problem.
Thanks for the comments guys!
Couple of notes
Just read your article on the MX1000, and wanted to make a few comments. I have had one for 3-4 months now and overall I am very happy with it. I just wanted to clarify/note a couple of things that I have experienced.
1. The right/left scroll function is something that Microsoft did first with its Intellimouse Explorer and Bluetooth mice. I have tried both, and the Logitech button feels more secure than the MS did.
2. The perils of early adoption. When I got my MX1000, I had some trouble with the scroll up/down button sticking in the page down position. It seems it was a little tight in the space provided. I took mine apart and filed down the back edge of the button a little, reassembled, and now it works perfect. I do not know if anyone else had this problem, but if they do, it is relatively simple to fix.
3. Logitech released new software, Setpoint, to go with the MX1000. It has problems with the older Mouseware drivers and sometimes requires reinstalling the Mouseware drivers AFTER the Setpoint drivers have been installed in order to work properly.
4. Setpoint has issues with some versions of Firefox in the the Forward/Back buttons will not work. They have to be reprogrammed to send Alt-Left and Alt-Right - OR you have to update your FF installation. It works fine with 1.2
5. It works great for gaming once you get used to it. You may have to turn down your mouse sensitivities from what you are used to. The laser also will register up to 1/4" off of the surface, so if you are working in a small area and pick the mouse up a alot, you will have to keep that in mind. If you intend to game with this mouse a lot, I will tell you that you should disable the Program Switch button. I found myself inadvertently hitting that button and getting my desktop quite a bit because of its placement.
I've been weaiting for this review for awhile. Were there any pros in gaming with it at all?
"It has a freaking Laser!" <- Best line in the whole review. Maybe any review on site to date.
|Rob Williams
Discuss: Logitech MX1000 Laser Mouse
How do you make a mouse more precise than ever? Use a new technology of course! We review the Logitech MX1000 Laser Mouse, which they promise to be 20 times as accurate as Optical. We put it to the tests, so check it out!
Check out the review here, and then discuss it here. Let me know what I missed in the review, and if you want something clarified, shoot it at me.

Arsène Wenger is happy to defend the vast sums paid to footballers in the modern era - provided their attitude is spot-on.
Player wages have never been higher thanks to the emergence of mega-rich owners and more and more clubs are benefiting from benefactors with Paris Saint-Germain and Russian side FC Anzhi joining familiar big spenders Chelsea and Manchester City this year.
FC Anzhi was purchased by billionaire Suleyman Kerimo in January and Roberto Carlos, Yuri Zhirkov and Samuel Eto'o are just a few of their high-profile signings. Eto'o's switch from Inter raised eyebrows with the Cameroon star set to earn a reported 20.5 million euros but those kinds of deals do not bother Wenger.
"I believe you spend the money you have in the club and [give it] to people who deserve it," said the Arsenal manager.
"I am very happy when the players make a lot of money, with one restriction, that the attitude has to be right. That means you have to show you give absolutely everything to deserve it.
"For the managers it is exactly the same, that you have an honest behaviour towards your club, that means you give everything to justify the money you make. If that money is what the club earns, I am alright with that."
All the same, Wenger believes that the pool of clubs capable of winning the Champions League will diminish as wealthy owners enter the sport.
"At the end of the day, you know you will not see the poorest teams winning the Champions League," he said. "That is impossible.
"Money is a very important factor in success, not the only one, because it is also the quality of the work, the length of that work which plays a part. Of course money has a big input, but we will see at the end of the season."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

When Lily's fierce-hearted "stand-in mother", Rosaleen, insults three of the town's fiercest racists, Lily decides they should both escape to Tiburon, South Carolina - a town that holds the secret to her mother's past. There, they are taken in by an eccentric trio of black beekeeping sisters who introduce Lily to a mesmerizing world of bees, honey, and the Black Madonna who presides over their household.
This is a remarkable story about divine female power and the transforming power of love - a story that women will share and pass on to their daughters for years to come.

"Awesome narrator"
This is a great book by itself. Add narrator Jenna Lamia and it's one of my all time favorite audiobooks. I liked Jenna Lamia so much in this book that I bought a bunch more books that she narrated without even having heard of them (with mixed results). She has the perfect voice for this story.
"Excellent Book"
I have no complaints about this book, only praise. It was well written, kept my attention, I was captivated by the characters, and loved the narrator. This is one that will be listened to many times. You will find yourself laughing and crying along with the joys and sorrows of the characters as they grow from their experiences. Buy this book! You will be like me and finding more books by Sue Monk Kidd.
I listen to something educational on my way to work to wake myself up, and listen to a page-turner on my way home to stay alert on the road!
Best. Narrator. Ever.
The confrontation between T Ray and Lily in the home of the calendar sisters.
A lovely, moving, and memorable book. It will stay with me.
"Beautifully Written, Beautifully Read"
After wearing out the paperback version of this book, I finally broke down and purchased the audiobook. Jenna Lamia does a great job of narrating, and really helps the reader to fall even more in love with Lily and the other strong female characters.
The story itself is inspiring and heartwarming. There is sadness and darkness, but Sue Monk Kidd does a great job of interjecting humor and lightheartedness at the perfect times. I've read and listened to this book more times than I can count, and it has never disappointed.
"So Goooooooooooood!"
OK, I bought this when it was on sale. I had it in my wish list for a long time but it was low priority. Boy am I glad I got it! Aside from really enjoying Jenna Lamia as a narrator of other audiobooks, I thing she did a really good job here, even if her southern accent was less than authentic.
The story is lovely and heartbreaking. I've wanted to see the movie but now that I've enjoyed the book so much I'm afraid that Hollywoods version will destroy the beauty of it.
"It's hard to stop listening..."
This book's story line, character development, rich imagery and pacing are such a treat! The narrator's vocal ability is superb and she provides added depth in the way she represents the characters and describes the scenes. This is my first GREAT audiobook experience and my enthusiasm for this format has been renewed.
"Like honey, this novel is a kind of soul food."
A very sweet empowering tale. The naration is decent. Definitely worthwile.
"Good book"
This is a great book. It is a wonderful story and I love the way the narrator reads it. The movie is really good, and I saw it first, but the book is so much better - as is usually the case.
Attorney & Artist
"Bee Buddies Buffer Baddies"
A poignant story of a young girl who finds herself born into a violent, abusive, rascist environment and has the strength, ingenuity and open-mindedness to fashion a beautiful new life for herself encouraged by the secret lives of the bees and their most excellent keepers. The effort was appreciated also as a cultural commentary, lest those of us living in this arguably post-racial society might not remember the hurt, pain and misunderstandings wrought by racism.
The story is well-constructed; the characters are well-developed -- I want to meet August Boatright -- and masterfully narrated. A very enjoyable listen.
"Very nice, heartwarming story."
I love a coming of age, heartwarming story, and this was a very nice one. Lily is a charming, strong willed character that I fell in love with instantly. She breaks away from the terrible life she is left with by her mother's death, and goes in search of her mother's past. It is a very enjoyable story, with some darkness, and humor to balance it nicely.
I recommend it, and bought it for my teenage nieces, who loved it!

General remarks:


text: Most weapons of the WWII to Korea and later for service use were a "Parkerized" finish. The 1911 I was issued in the USMC circa late '60's was. It is a phosphate coating without sheen. It is usually a zinc or manganese phosphate coating that cannot be applied to an alloy framed weapon. The finish holds up quite well, e.g. M-1 Garands other than the stainless piston under the end of the barrel at the business end of the weapon. It does not work on a high nickel steel, for that you have passavation. I have several G.I. magazines made for M-9 use that I use in my Beretta 92FS that are parkerized as well. Don't know who makes them, butr they function flawlessly. If you want to change the finish to a hard chrome or electroless nickel finish post parkerization, the finish will have to be stripped which may involve some loss of detail such as impressed stampings in the slide/frame of a steel weapon as you must remove the parkerization entirely. There are some new finishes out there that resemble parkerization and are like a powder coat that work very well that you might want to consider. In the '80's I did some work in a friend's gunshop making copies of the S&W ASP design, right down to the sight system, purchased separately, and we applied a teflon finish to the weapons. Even used lexan for grip panels for the see through magazine capacity verification after cutting the side panels on the model 39 magazines. The mag butt extension was t-6 aluminum that we teflon coated as well. Great little carry weapons!! Did some on 59's as well that gave you increased capacity at the cost of more grip thickness. Sorry, off the subject. Hope this helped.

Green Bay's Sykes Named to All-Tournament Team
By: Andrew Gavin (@GBGavin)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - Sophomore Keifer Sykes (Chicago, Ill.) had one of the most memorable of his young Phoenix career on the biggest stage, matching his career-high with 31 points Saturday night in the Horizon League semifinal at Valparaiso. Sykes' heroics were spoiled by a Crusader buzzer-beater, but the Phoenix point guard was named to the Horizon League All-Tournament Team on Tuesday night after Valpo defeated Wright State 62-54 in the championship game.
In Green Bay's three tournament games, including wins over Milwaukee and UIC, Sykes averaged 19.7 points, 5.3 assists and 4.0 rebounds per game. The first Green Bay player to be named to the All-Horizon League tournament team since Ryan Evanochko in 2006, Sykes made 6-of-11 three-pointers and 13-of-15 free throws.
Sykes, a First-Team All-Horizon League selection this season, scored 21 of his 31 after halftime in Saturday's 70-69 loss. The point guard made 11-of-20 shots from the field and 4-of-6 from long range while adding six assists, five rebounds and two steals.
In 33 games this season, Sykes is averaging 15.8 points and 4.3 assists per game. The sophomore has reached double figures 30 times and posted 20 or more points in eight games.

"The business cards which I ordered turned out absolutely gorgeous! Far better quality than cards I have ordered from other well known office supply stores. I personalized my card with a picture which I took myself and was able to create my own text front and back which I was not able to do at the other store. The quality of the paper and printing were great. I am very pleased with my cards and will order form you again."
"I ordered this card to be used as a thank you card for favors and i was very surprised with the good quality of the item. It was a lot smaller than I thought it would be but never the less, it was perfect for what I had in mind for it use. The paper stock is a thick grainy paper that is shows the colors of the design quite well. In addition, the picture I uploaded with it came out clear and bright. I ordered this during tiny prints deal of the day and I have to say that I am very happy with it and will purchase it again in the future."

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Under-drive pulleys are used with competition engines to reduce the power extraction the pump takes from the crankshaft. The power curve on the pump is such that power used is a geometric function of RPM (goes up in powers like doubling the RPM squares, or quads the power extracted) so at 6500 RPM you can be looking at 15 to 20 horses just to spin the pump. Additionally the pump output, while not growing quite so much as the power extraction, does start to output more coolant through the system than is needed at high RPMs to keep the engine temp stable. So without a thermostat or suitably sized restrictor it over cools the engine in addition to taking a lot of power from the crankshaft.
Taking these two events, it then becomes advantageous to slow the pump down which reduces the power extraction from the crank and does not force a situation where more coolant is being pumped than is necessary to maintain proper temperature. A win-win, how often do you see that?
This, however, does not work on the street in-so-far as moderate highway cruise speed and RPMs in the range of 2000-3000 are concerned. Under-drive pulleys will lead to insufficient cooling in these street settings, and like I said above, except at very high RPMs the power extraction of the pump is almost incidental. Of course one alternate solution is to use a high flow pump along with under-drive pulleys, but since very few aftermarket makers and sellers of these pumps provide numerical data compared to the OEM pump output and drive speeds, buying this stuff can lead you down a merry path of spending a lot of money to get unknown to incorrect results. Which is why for a street engine; I always recommend staying with what the factory puts on the engine unless you have numeric data, not making engineering decisions on advertising superlatives.
P.S. Back in the good old days of NASCAR level stockcar racing when much of the equipment was in fact stock and modified for the peculiar needs of racing. It was common to control power extraction and coolant delivery of the pump at high RPMs by not only slowing it down with under-drive pulleys but, also, grinding the impeller blades down. Needless to say when a caution yellow or stop red flag came out these engine immediately puked coolant and overheated.
"Not under diving the pump"
I learn something....
|Bogie always has the best answers
|S10 Racer
|Bogie I always love your replies, they are like reading a short book. You take your time to go indepth so people understand better. Very good!!!!!
Everybody's engine does this in some manner of design. Chevrolet's system routes from the return passages at the front of the intake to the heater core if not equipped with air-conditioning and through a 3 way valve that shunts coolant around the heater core when the AC is on so it doesn't have to cool the heated heater core. The return is from either the heater core for non AC models or the three way valve if it has AC to the suction side of the pump. The return is classically into a fitting on the top of the pump that feeds to the impeller inlet but there some other arrangements where the return hose feeds into the pump inlet side of the radiator tank or into a tee of the pump inlet hose. Everybody uses some configuration of a system similar to this. Some isolate the heater circuit from the bypass running the bypass hose directly from the intake return sourced behind the thermostat into the pump, Ford and Chrysler are examples of this arrangement.
The purpose besides providing faster cabin heat on cold days is to prevent hot spots from forming inside the engine and eliminate pump cavitation before general circulation starts with opening the thermostat. Hot spots mostly form around the exhaust seats and spark plugs; the metal immediately around these parts can become so hot they boil the coolant while everything else is cold. When this happens the hot metal tries to expand with the increasing temperature but is trapped by the colder metal surrounding the hot area, this can and does lead to cracking the casting. Keeping a circulation prevents the formation of local hot spots while the general warming of the circulating coolant tends to level the temperature throughout the castings so hot spots aren't trapped when surrounded by the cooler metal further away from the concentrated heat source.
In terms of cavitation; when the pump is dead headed, it beats the coolant into froth. Bubbles do not offer any cooling to hot engine parts, they only block flow and encourage further localized overheating. Additionally, the froth within the impeller beats on it shock loading the pump shaft, its bearings and seal all of which reduces the life span of these components.
There are those who argue that the constant flow of hot coolant into the mainstream after the thermostat opens contributes to overheating. The engineers that designed this system took that into account. Actually the LT1/4, the LS engine series and most other current production engines not to mention those of heavy trucks and equipment have for many years if not decades used a two part thermostat to feed hot coolant from the engine into cold coolant from the radiator to develop a tightly controlled temperature within the engine for best power and maximum efficiency. The modern Mustang V6 couldn't get to 300 horsepower and 30 miles to the gallon with many tricks this being one of them. I would suggest that overheating problems are better solved with not under diving the pump on street engines, and using a clean and properly sized radiator along with adequate fans and shroud to pull air over the entire core surface.
For straight up competition engines the thermostat is often eliminated as it can become a potential failure item that will take you out of the race. So a simple restrictor is often used to manage the full power operating temperature, which usually proves to be more than necessary cooling at slower speeds. This also eliminates the external plumbing of the bypass system without incurring the problems of no circulation as would happen with no bypass and having a thermostat that is closed when the engine is cold. The restrictor will cause the engine to be slow in initially warming up and the temp will tend over a wide range between idle and screaming around the track. This is less of a problem for racers as they are in the engine for maintenance a lot and the big time racers are using after-market castings which whether iron or aluminum are much more robust than is OEM production hardware.
|The radiator inlet is blocked by the thermostat being closed. It's a closed system, no air, so nothing is being replaced or moving in or out of the radiator.
Water Pump Functionality
Hypothetically, if the thermostat does not open until 185 degrees, and the water pump works continuously prior to the thermostat opening,what prevents the water in the radiator to flow out and empty into the engine prior to the engine warming up?

Health Information
Cluster Headache (Holistic)Skip to the navigation
About This Condition
Manage pain with melatonin
Take 10 mg of this natural hormone before bedtime to decrease the frequency of cluster headaches
- Consider capsaicin Consult a healthcare provider experienced with intranasal capsaicin treatment, which may ease the pain and reduce recurrences
- Experiment with oxygen therapy See a healthcare provider experienced with oxygen therapy to find out if it reduces the pain of cluster headache attacks
About This Condition
Cluster headaches are very painful one-sided headaches that tend to occur in clusters of several headaches in a short period of time, after which there may be no headaches for weeks or months. Cluster headaches that continue for more than one year without remission, or with remissions lasting less than 14 days, are considered to be chronic and are very difficult to treat.
Cluster headaches involve pain in the eye or upper face, tearing, runny nose with nasal congestion, and facial sweating.1
Healthy Lifestyle Tips
Many people with cluster headaches are smokers.2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 While this does not necessarily mean quitting smoking will reduce cluster headache attacks, smoking should be avoided for many reasons.
Holistic Options
Oxygen therapy has been found to be useful in treating cluster headaches. A double-blind trial compared breathing 100% oxygen with breathing air (nitrogen and oxygen) through a mask for 15 minutes or less during six headache episodes per person. The 100% oxygen significantly reduced the pain of acute cluster attacks in all subjects.7 A controlled trial found that during acute episodes of cluster headaches, breathing 100% oxygen through a mask for 15 minutes significantly decreased pain in most of the people with episodic cluster headache and in over half of those with chronic cluster headache.8 However, one-fourth of the study participants experienced cluster attacks soon after the treatment was stopped. While oxygen inhalation therapy is now considered a standard treatment,9 treatments may need to be repeated, and they have not been shown to help prevent recurrences.
In controlled studies,10 , 11 a single treatment of hyperbaric oxygen therapy, in which the patient is placed in a chamber with highly concentrated oxygen, has been found to help decrease pain and prevent recurrence of cluster episodes in some patients for several days. Two studies have investigated the use of multiple treatments of hyperbaric oxygen in chronic cluster headache patients. In one small, preliminary trial,12 ten 70-minute treatments over two weeks brought relief in most of the participants; headaches did not recur for 1 to 31 days after the end of treatment in those who responded. In another preliminary trial, chronic cluster headache patients received 15 hyperbaric oxygen treatment sessions (every other day for 30 minutes each); results showed a gradual decrease in episodes in some patients, which lasted for up to two weeks after treatment ended.13
Eating Right
The right diet is the key to managing many diseases and to improving general quality of life. For this condition, scientific research has found benefit in the following healthy eating tips.
|Uncover your food sensitivities
Some doctors report that food sensitivities may trigger cluster headaches in some people, an elimination diet can help you uncover your sensitivities.
Some doctors report that food sensitivities may trigger cluster headaches in some people.14 , 15 While the connection between diet and migraine headache is well established, no controlled research has investigated the role of diet in cluster headache.
|Avoid alcohol
Many people with cluster headaches drink alcohol heavily, and alcohol has been reported to bring on cluster headache attacks
Many people with cluster headaches are heavy consumers of alcohol, and alcohol consumption has been reported to bring on cluster headache attacks.16 , 17 However, no research has investigated the effects of avoiding alcohol on cluster headache recurrences.
Our proprietary "Star-Rating" system was developed to help you easily understand the amount of scientific support behind each supplement in relation to a specific health condition. While there is no way to predict whether a vitamin, mineral, or herb will successfully treat or prevent associated health conditions, our unique ratings tell you how well these supplements are understood by some in the medical community, and whether studies have found them to be effective for other people.
For over a decade, our team has combed through thousands of research articles published in reputable journals. To help you make educated decisions, and to better understand controversial or confusing supplements, our medical experts have digested the science into these three easy-to-follow ratings. We hope this provides you with a helpful resource to make informed decisions towards your health and well-being.
3 Stars Reliable and relatively consistent scientific data showing a substantial health benefit.
2 Stars Contradictory, insufficient, or preliminary studies suggesting a health benefit or minimal health benefit.
1 Star For an herb, supported by traditional use but minimal or no scientific evidence. For a supplement, little scientific support.
2 Stars
Consult a qualified healthcare practitioner
Capsaicin, a constituent of cayenne pepper, applied inside the nostrils may ease the pain of cluster headaches and reduce recurrences.
Substance P is a nerve chemical involved in pain transmission that may cause some of the symptoms of cluster headache.18 , 19 Capsaicin, a constituent of cayenne pepper, can reduce the levels of substance P in nerves.20 Preliminary clinical trials investigating the use of intranasal capsaicin for the prevention and treatment of cluster headaches report significant decreases in the number of cluster episodes in some of the participants.21 The decreases usually lasted no more than 40 days after the end of treatment,22 although a few patients have experienced relief for up to two years.23 In a double-blind study, patients who received capsaicin intranasally twice daily for seven days during a cluster episode had a significant reduction in pain for the following 15 days.24 As capsaicin can cause burning and irritation, this treatment should be utilized only under the supervision of a qualified doctor.
2 Stars
Take under medical supervision: 10 mg daily in the evening
Taking melatonin before bedtime has been shown to reduce the frequency of cluster headaches.
Researchers have found low levels of the hormone melatonin in cluster headache patients.25 , 26 , 27 , 28 In a small double-blind trial, a group of cluster headache sufferers took a 10 mg evening dose of melatonin for 14 days. About half of the group saw a significant decrease in the frequency of their headaches within three to five days, after which no further headaches occurred until melatonin was discontinued.29 Melatonin appears to be effective against both types of cluster headache (e.g., episodic and chronic). 30 More research is needed to establish the long-term effects of melatonin supplementation on cluster headache.

In case reports, several patients with chronic cluster headaches showed improvement after supplementing with Boswellia serrata extract, though more research is needed to confirm these findings.
In case reports, four patients with chronic cluster headaches showed improvement after supplementing with Boswellia serrata extract.31 The amount used varied from 350 mg three times per day to 700 mg three times per day. Placebo-controlled trials are needed to confirm these reports.

Refer to label instructions
People who suffer from cluster headaches often have low blood levels of magnesium, magnesium injections have been shown to bring relief.
People who suffer from cluster headaches often have low blood levels of magnesium , and preliminary trials32 , 33 show that intravenous magnesium injections may relieve a cluster headache episode. However, no trials have investigated the effects of oral magnesium supplementation on cluster headaches.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|I agree with Reede, i would go with a large if your going for thhe TWC slim fit burton pants, cause having pants too small is all bad. if you were getting a sig fit (their regular fit) burton pant i would say go w/ a medium since those r just a little baggy.
Heh this story made me laugh.
I wouldn't rule out wearing L size, it will depend largely on the manufacturer but I weigh 180 and can wear a pair of 36 pants without a belt, normal clothing I buy is pretty much awlays L but my snowboard pants are XL and I would not want them to be any smaller at all. They are O&E brand tho, not Burton.
Pants that are a little baggy are fine as long as they stay on your hips, a pair with decent adjustment straps that you can adjust without any folding/snow inlet issues will pretty much fit regardless.
Pants that are too small suck tho, Ive got a feeling going down to a medium will be too small for you while L will be slightly big (ie: ideal)
Pants Size?
Hi guys
I've snowboarded/skied when I was younger, but been away from the mountain for a good 7 or so years. On the coming south hemisphere season I intend to hit Chapelco in Argentina and get boarding again.
Needless to say, my snowboarding pants don't fit me anymore. I live in Brazil so snow clothing is way overpriced here (like 2x official US prices). I figured I'd buy my gear online from a US dealer and take advantage of the massive sales going on, but I'm afraid of buying the wrong size. I've settled for Burton gear, because it seems vendors have the biggest selection in stock and my old clothes, which I liked, were Burtons as well.
Now, my old pants were women's (basically I was a kid in Europe who didnt speak the language and was pushed to buy it by the clerk because it was the only pants that would fit me at the time) and I cut the tags off back in the day to try and mantain what little dignity I had. So I can't tell their size to compare with. All I know is that the pants were Burton Tactics and that they're too small for me now (like, one size too small since they do close).
I wear size 30-32 jeans (depending on cut, etc), weigh 160lbs and am 5'7''. My waist however is 35in? By Burton size charting 35in would be large pants which I can guarantee I am not. SO I'm confused. Is my beer belly throwing the sizing off? Are the pants (Burton or otherwise) true to size (i.e. jeans?). Do keep in mind I'm looking to buy slimmer pants (ronin rockets or hustla pants to be more precise).
Sorry for the long winded post but felt I needed to explain myself lest someone told me to go to a store and simply try the pants on (to reiterate - I'm brazilian and we don't have Burton vendors).
tks for the help!

Indeed the inspiration for Fett!
Graeat films too!
heh nice!
ha ha nice, its the pose that does it for me...
lol "I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughing. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it."
Wouldn't it have been funny if it was Clint under the helmet. Now that would be cool.
Spaghetti Fett
Sounds like a cool theme for the next TDH T shirt run...?? Boba in a sepia esc T would be cool..
The "good,the bad, the Fett" was the subject of the the T-shirt horror story Sonik was involved in. Remember that mess?
