Greetings and thanks for visiting my website.
The best way I can serve is to help you expand your awareness of your soul self, share ways for you to heal yourself, encourage you to know the essence of you loving self, recognize what you are passionate about, and to clarify the perception you have of yourself as an incredible and infinite light being of Source.
Often I am asked, what will a spiritual reading, attending a workshop, or reading one of my books do for me. In simple terms, my purpose is to help you find harmony and balance in your daily life and to recognize the obstacles of mind, body, and soul that are preventing you from realizing the peace and joy that is your nature state of being. Although I do not have all the answers, I can tap into the energies of our loved-ones in spirit, our spirit guides, and universal consciousness to provide methods and tools to empower you to improve your life. Messages provide encouragement and support for the healing that your soul seeks in your relationships, career, family situations, and the daily challenges and opportunities of your life. Also, I can help you understand the interconnection between your mental thoughts, emotions, soul's karma and your physical body so that you can bring peace back to any 'dis-ease' within yourself.
It is my passion to promote the recognition of your infinite consciousness, the continuity of your life, and the laws of nature so that you may heal and discover a greater sense of contentment, joy, and peace. You are a miracle maker and to recognize and implement the beliefs of your higher self will empower you to believe in the innocence of yourself and your sacred connection to God.
I have been blessed with many incredible and awakening experiences that include the unique opportunity of blending the scientific approach to our being with the metaphysical and intuitive nature of life. I was educated in cell and molecular biology, researched in the biotechnology field, and was a college biology instructor in the anatomical sciences. These opportunities gave me great insight and understanding in the nature of our physical life and the laws of science and reasoning. As a perpetual student of life, I completed advance studies in metaphysics, mediumship, science of mind, and intuition to obtain an enhanced understanding of our soul self. But nature is my wisest teacher and exploring the beauty, contentment, and harmony of her wisdom allows me to expand and develop the understanding of life.
Besides nature, I continuously study the great teachings of the master teachers such as; Jesus, Buddha, Jung, Steiner, Sagan, Holmes, Ruiz, Cayce, Myss, Hicks, and Tolle, just to name a few. My thrills are to think, hike, write, read, travel and to meditate on the purpose and meaning of life and universal law.
As a medium and intuitive, I can provide you with the opportunity of communicating with your departed-loved ones and spirit guides. It can be a very healing and enlightening experience to have a spiritual reading so that you might get a better prospective about your life, your soul's journey and to maintain your connection to those that have crossed over to the World of Spirit.
As an educator, I hope to provide you with interactive learning experiences so that you can enhance your awareness, expand your consciousness, understand yourself as an energy being, apply and develop your intuitive abilities, connect with your spirit guides and realize and understand the unlimited power you possess. My workshops are designed to engage you in individual and group exercises, meditations, and discussions on exploring and developing your intuitive abilities and to help heal.
It is a privilege and an honor to serve you. I greatly appreciate the trust you put in me to help your heart to heal, your mind to expand, and your soul to be inspired. Please enjoy this site and I encourage you to share your ideas, concerns,and inspirations. Create a beautiful and peaceful day for yourself.
Message from James Van Praagh…
|"Science and Spirit mix beautifully with this gentleman. He is a medium and a detailed healer. He is part psychologist, doctor, healer, mystic and all together a wonderful spiritual teacher. Go see what I mean…"

The official start of summer means many things – summer vacations, baseball games, outdoor concerts, cookouts, pool parties and plenty of rounds of golf. It also means that the next college basketball season officially tips off in 140 days.
Starting Monday, June 24, GoGriffs.com will highlight the "Canisius Men's Basketball Summer Series", which will feature a look back at various aspects from the 2012-13 season and eventually a look forward to the 2013-14 campaign. These features will be posted every Monday throughout the summer until Monday, Aug. 26, the first official day of school for the 2013-14 academic year.
On tap for the first "Summer Series" feature will be a review of the top-five wins for the Golden Griffins from the 2012-13 campaign.

Posted by Richard Fichera on December 28, 2010
I've recently had the opportunity to talk with a small sample of SLES 11 and RH 6 Linux users, all developing their own applications. All were long-time Linux users, and two of them, one in travel services and one in financial services, had applications that can be described as both large and mission-critical.
The overall message is encouraging for Linux advocates, both the calm rational type as well as those who approach it with near-religious fervor. The latest releases from SUSE and Red Hat, both based on the 2.6.32 Linux kernel, show significant improvements in scalability and modest improvements in iso-configuration performance. One user reported that an application that previously had maxed out at 24 cores with SLES 10 was now nearing production certification with 48 cores under SLES 11. Performance scalability was reported as "not linear, but worth doing the upgrade."
Overall memory scalability under Linux is still a question mark, since the widely available x86 platforms do not exceed 3 TB of memory, but initial reports from a user familiar with HP's DL 980 verify that the new Linux Kernel can reliably manage at least 2TB of RAM under heavy load.
File system options continue to expand as well. The older Linux FS standard, ETX4, which can scale to "only" 16 TB, has been joined by additional options such as XFS (contributed by SGI), which has been implemented in several installations with file systems in excess of 100 TB, relieving a limitation that may have been more psychological than practical for most users.

This forum helps--thanks for setting it up, whoever you may be, and the moderators for making it happen. I'll try to click on some sponsored links for you guys.
But there's still too much to sift through. Programs abroad that look like jobs abroad, certificate courses, unreliable reviews, etc. To simplify the equation: Native English + Certificate + Job Board + Applying = JOB, one that pays for your airfare, etc. Right?
The certification process seems to be more confusing than finding the job!
I searched for 'rennert' on the forum and had no luck. [commercial link removed - admin] It's WL-SIT TEOSL course which is as good as a CELTA, from what I understand, and the company looks reputable. Any comments?
Also--does taking the course abroad help in any way? I'm currently living in Missouri so I've been looking at certification either online, which I'm a bit skeptical of when it comes to getting a job, or in Chicago/STL, but would taking a course in Africa -- [commercial link removed - admin] -- help very much with getting a job then in Africa [not the ideal location to start your TEFL, from what I understand].
Certificate + Job Boards
I have an English degree and want to teach abroad. As much as I like the idea of the Peace Corps, if I were to do it they would have me teaching--so why not get paid for it?
From what I understand online courses don't help much in the short or long run, since the money you save is offset by a higher salary [which, of course, depends on where you go] and a much better chance at job placement. I may be wrong and, in my hastiness to get abroad -- I'd leave tomorrow if I could -- may go with an online course. *shrug* Most of the reviews for online courses mention getting a certificate but very little about the job afterwards. I'd like to make the 'getting the job' as easy and stressless as I can, which means a better certificate [I guess].
Lastly, if you made it to the bottom, for a first time english teacher abroad, are there some countries or locations that would make for a better experience? South Korea seems to be the best fallback as far as reliability, pay, etc.
Thanks and really, sorry for being repetitive. I am looking through older posts, but this was specifically about Rennert before I became all verbose and what not.

Antivirus software, which is a necessity in order to keep your computer running smoothly and safe from detrimental viruses, is available. Some consumers are wary about adding more software to their computer because they believe it may introduce an added nuisance, yet antivirus software runs in a non-obtrusive manner while you scan the Web, play video games, or shop at your favorite online stores.
Internet security software keeps threats away from interfering with your computer. One of the worst things that can happen to your computer is it getting a virus; such instances can dramatically affect computer speed, memory, and may ultimately cause your computer to crash.
Business and home office software is also available. Such programs that come with business and home office software are word processor, spreadsheet, and other business-related tools, which can help with presentations, reports, and maintaining contacts. Most offices and home professionals cannot conduct business without some form of office software because it has become such an ingrained part of the business world.
Windows has become an inescapable part of being a PC user. Windows allows PC users to share and edit photos; play, listen, and share music; play, watch, and rewind video clips and television programs; and a whole lot more! Microsoft gradually issues current and advanced versions of their Windows computer software.
A huge portion of computer users can be labeled as 'gamers'. Many software games are available for computers and new ones are issued all of the time. Software games are available for people of all ages; the manufacturers usually attach a label indicating the appropriate age level of each game.

The Art & Science design language now ten years old still seems fresh, new and young in an absolutely American way. The upgraded interiors finally make you feel like you might actually be sitting in a real luxury vehicle.
That said, Cadillac has always been an "odd" luxury brand never having quite the right product to match up to the competition. The 2013 Cadillac ATS, aims to change that. For the first time in a generation (Do you remember the horrific Cadillac Cimarron of the 80s? We try not to.) GM's gonna have a true "compact" luxury sedan. Well, it's as "compact" as any "compact" can be these days. You know, something to compete with the Johann's of the world the BMW 3 Series, Mercedes-Benz C Class and Audi A4.
Well, on paper anyway.
Unlike past attempts in the class, on paper, the ATS looks like it can compete. Rear wheel drive? Check. It's supposedly got a nearly 50/50 weight balance. Check. It has Cadillac's first five-link independent rear suspension. Check. Multi-link double-pivot MacPherson strut front suspension with direct-acting stabilizer bar, Corvette ZR1-derived driver-adjustable FE3 sport suspension with Magnetic Ride Control real-time damping, four-channel ABS with optional Brembo brakes and available all-wheel drive? Check, check, and check.
Power? It'll compete there too with three powertrain options for the U.S. two four-cylinder engines and a V6. A base 2.5-liter inline-four engine that nobody should buy and two optional engine options an all-new 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder rated at 270 horsepower and the 3.6-liter V6 that GM currently estimates will throw down an amazing 318 horsepower.
View the gallery
Fuel economy? The peak fuel economy of one of the engine options will hit more than 30 MPG. But nevermind that. You're buying a luxury car. Better stats to look at include things like the number 135 the number of horses produced for each of that turbocharged four-banger's liters. That's some serious Euro-beating power density.
Will the ATS offer both manual and automatic transmission options? Yes. There's a Tremec-sourced fully synchronized six-speed manual with single overdrive along with a Hydra-Matic six-speed, electronically controlled, automatic overdrive auto tranny with a torque converter clutch.
Toys? Yes, the ATS will have those too Cadillac's new CUE system, as we first showed you last year, is the brand's new Apple-like infotainment system. And yes, it looks like it could be amazing.
But like everything with this car we'll have to see how it all works together because that's the true test of a luxury car. And Cadillac still needs to prove it can provide the same experience its German competitors do in a segment GM's luxury brand had long since abandoned.
Also, they'll need a coupe, a convertible, a wagon, and -V versions of all of the above. You know, for kids! Stay tuned for at least some of that.

Hi TDHers!
I thought I'd put together one of them there progress threads for a new project
I'm working on. I've been really busy with school, but my semester is over, and
I have some hobby time, so I figured it's time to get Fettin'!!! :thumbsup
This thread will be for my paint up of a GMH helmet as the ESB "hero" version.
Been a while since I've done an ESB, so this will be fun! To make it even more
fun, it's for our very own Lucksy31. Scott has been a part of the community for
a while, and he's supplied some awesome vinyl decals that I'll bet several of you
are sporting on your own Fett costumes. Hi Scott!
The helmet arrived with the visor already cut out, along with the GMH resin ear
pieces. Scott is getting a set of Mojo's aluminum ears, so hopefully they'll ship
while I'm still in possession of the helmet so I can paint them up and install them.
Scott also sent me a few cool accessories to incorporate into this job, namely:
a real Borden connector, a TerminalFettler RF topper (super nice!), an RF mini
circuit board with flashing LEDs, a nice smoked visor, an aluminum RF stalk,
and a real microswitch to place in the cutout in the upper right ear cap.
To begin this job, I finished doing the trimming and sanding. There was some
smoothing to do around the visor cutout, and then I sanded around the bottom
of the helmet, and cut out the keyslots, and drilled the holes in the ear platforms.
Since this is to be an ESB bucket, I used some glazing putty to fill in the GMH's
physical damage.
I got it as smooth as I could in preparation for the primer. I also drilled out the
resin Borden piece and cut down the Borden connector.
Here's the Borden rough cut and sanded. I'll do a bit more fine sanding.
Here's the Borden in place. Nice, tight fit!
I put on the first coat of primer a little while ago. It revealed a couple of places where I
need to apply some more putty. I'll do that tomorrow and shoot a second coat of primer
and then I should be ready to start adding some color to this bad boy!
I always like to challenge myself when I do a new helmet, so for this job, I will do all my
painting with the paint brush held between my toes. :lol
Much more to come.

Some classic nirvana vinyl would be pretty nice.
Some classic nirvana vinyl would be pretty nice.
I have to admit that I have always been terrible with "Girlfriend" gifts but I always come through at the last minute. Two years back (around when this was first posted, lol) I decided to book us both a trip up to Niagara Falls, the Canadian Side, which turned into an awesome trip and memory for the two of us. The following year I got her a whole mess of 'smaller things' and, oddly enough, the favorite gift was a hand-drawn sketch of her and her then-recently passed Grandmother. I had it done for like $20 bucks by this little Chinese dude in the Mall and put it in a Dollar-Store frame.
My ace in the hole is a quick train or car ride to Rockefeller Center and their Christmas tree (I live like 20 minutes outside of New York City) I have yet to find a women who wasn't over come with the Christmas Spirit after a couple evening hours in NYC. I'd recommend that to anyone who lived within reasonable distance (or to make a day of it) of a major Metropolitan City.
"I have always thought of Christmas time, when it has come round, as a good time; a kind, forgiving, charitable time; the only time I know of, in the long calendar of the year, when men and women seem by one consent to open their shut-up hearts freely, and to think of people below them as if they really were fellow passengers to the grave, and not another race of creatures bound on other journeys." ~Charles Dickens
Can you paint or draw? A portrait is a beautiful thing to give a loved One as it shows time and effort. They get something to keep and She will know that you sat long and hard looking a at her beautiful face.
1 - paint a nirvana album cover in a canvass
2 - compile all the nirvana albums
3 - play a guitar and record the best nirvana song for her (or her favorite nirvana song)
those are the ideas in my mind that you can do for her.
try an unique gift idea: a leaf with artwork on it. It can be put into her favorite book as a bookmark. Check out: artonleaf.com

|"Is this all real? Or has this been happening inside my head?"
The subject of this article is of a real-life person, place, group, company, product, or creative work that has been mentioned "in-universe" in a canon source. The Harry Potter Wiki is written from the perspective that all information presented in canon is true (e.g., Hogwarts really exists), and, as such, details contained in this article may differ from real world facts.
The Post Office Tower was commissioned by the General Post Office (GPO). Its primary purpose was to support the microwave aerials then used to carry telecommunications traffic from London to the rest of the country.
Harry Potter and Ronald Weasley once flew over this Tower using the Flying Ford Anglia where some Muggles had spotted them and it was later reported and published in the Evening Prophet.
Behind the scenes
- The BT Tower is a tall cylindrical building in London, England, located at 60 Cleveland Street, Fitzrovia W1T 4JZ. It has been previously known as the Post Office Tower, the London Telecom Tower and the British Telecom Tower.
- For the first several years of its existence, the Tower was officially secret, although how one is supposed to keep a 600-foot-tall building in the middle of a busy city a secret is anyone's guess, and the Tower was open to the public for much of this time.

SEASIDE HEIGHTS, NJ -- A roller coaster swept off a New Jersey amusement pier and into the Atlantic by superstorm Sandy will not remain there as a partially submerged tourist attraction. Seaside Heights Mayor Bill Akers said in the Asbury Park Press that the town and the owners of the Casino Pier are in talks to remove what remains of the Jet Star Roller Coaster.
The mayor last week told NBC News New York that the coaster would make a "great tourist attraction," which he now says "was not the brightest comment."
Built by Italy's Interpark, the coaster had about 1,800 feet of tracks and originally stood 50.7 feet at its apex. The steel structure was the star attraction at FunTown Amusement Pier, owned by Bill Major. The hurricane pulled the pier right out from under the coaster like a magician pulling a tablecloth off of a fully set table. | SEE STORY
Elsewhere in Seaside Heights, at least one amusement arcade and a carousel survived the hurricane relatively intact. Demolition crews have completed removal of the town's hurricane-damaged boardwalk. Mayor Akers said a new boardwalk will be installed and ready by Memorial Day.

Here's a link to a group buy that's just about to start. I thought there might be a few of you interested in it. It's not one of our buys but should run ok.
I'm pretty sure that I"ll be signing up for this one. Now to find a way to pay for it.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|yea, it was pretty sweet...it was on ebay, and the auction was for a brand new 2010 kink...i won the auction for $175 + $20 shipping or something...after I paid for it, the seller emailed me and said he no longer had that board and gave me 3 options, a full refund, a 2010 dh, or a 2011 kink...I obviously took the kink..it came shrink wrapped with a price sticker on it for $359.99 !!! Was super stoked...couldnt of worked out better, especially cause I had already bought some barely used contrabands for $90 which are white and purple, and would of in no way matched my bright green 2010 kink...but the 2011 is black, purple, and blue...so again, awesome situation of gettin super lucky
He finally decided on a Morrow board... I don't really know about Morrow boards... they seem alright are they decent??
and to threej21 u get a Kink or 175??? holy shit thts crazy.... thats a great board! amazing deal!
|i didnt think of ebay but you should definetly hit that up if your on a budget. through my experiences though the best way to go is from local shops. 2 seasons ago i managed to talk the guy down from 450 to 250 for a rome board (dont remember what model)
Just as another idea of a way to go..you can piece a set up together through various internet sites, my fav being ebay, instead of buying a complete "setup" per say and still stay within your budget. I love ebay, and not just for used stuff, lots of great deals out there from small home ebay stores that just need to move some product. My wife and I just got into the sport coming from wakeboarding for many years, and i got us both set up for right at or under $450...
for myself, I scored a brand new 2011 Ride Kink for $175 (ebay), some barely used 2010 contrabands for $90 (ebay), and some brand new Ride Orion boots for $100 (ebay)..so that came out to $365 for a pretty bad ass setup
for the wife, i got her a Roxy Sugar board for $185 (ebay), some brand new 2010 Ride VxN's for $94 (from Ambush), and some brand new Roxy boots for $45 (ebay)..so that was like $325...
might take a little more time to piece it together with great deals, but you can do it, if your on a budget..just my .02
Just saw your thread so I thought I'd give you another board option. Camp 7 is definitely on cheaper end of the spectrum but as someone who has one, I can say that they're not that bad. Cosmetically they aren't the prettiest boards. Instead of slab plys pressed together, it looks like a plastic mold on top of the base layer. I haven't dinged mine up yet, but I have a feeling the first time anything hits the top it will take damage fast.
As a camber board, it holds up well. It has pretty fantastic stability at speed and decent dampening. It's a cheap snowboard, for certain...but its a good starting point until your friend is sure he wants to drop $$ on something better. Just make sure to give it a good wax and it'll treat you right. I usually only have icepack to ride on around here, and it does well on that.

|id say the fluxes. (friends dont let friends ride burton!)
|okay thats what I was thinking... So should he go with the missions? thats what I have and they are sick... but Fluxes have better reliability..
|pretty solid setup exept for the t9 bindings there shit
good setup?
So I'm getting my friend into snowboarding and he is looking to get some new bindings, boots, and a board. The only problem is he's working on a budget. Probably about 450 or lower. This is the setup he was looking at:
Best Prices on Atomic Pivot Snowboard 153 - Mens Snowboard Snowboarding Gear Equipment
Save on Burton Poacher Snowboard Boots Blue - Mens Snowboards Boot Snowboarding Gear Equipment
Save on Technine T Nine Snowboard Bindings White - Mens Snowboards Binding Snowboarding Gear Equipment
Is this a solid setup? I have heard that Atomic boards are good boards for a low price so thats why he decided to go with the Atomic rather than a cheaper Rossignol or something.
I was also thinking or the bindings some Burton missions or Flux Premiums.
And for the boots, they looked alright to me. Not the top of the line but they seemed good for the price. I was also thinking about some 32 Summit's because I have a pair of 32 Prospect's and I love them so I was thinking 32 was a pretty good brand.
Help me out and I'll greatly appreciate it!

As you can see there are many variables especially heads and gaskets.
Years ago when we were checking the CR of our TF motor the discussion got heated over who had the right numbers......several rod lengths, compression height pistons, ported heads with polished chambers etc. Well a long story short some money got laid on the table.
We assembled a block, crank, rod, piston on the motor stand. We found top dead center and set the pointer. Then we dialed the assembly to TDC. Since we ran pistons down the hole we cc'd the "deck clearance." This automatically took into account the small valve reliefs and the radius of the top of the piston. We then turned the motor over to BDC and again cc'd the cylinder. This gave us swept volumn and TDC volumn. From this we could calculate the CR using established vol of the gasket and head. However there is still room for error here so we added the gasket and cyl head. Torqued the head down to spec and using water for a fluid, we checked the vol at TDC and Again at BDC. Dividing BDC vol by TDC vol gives an exact CR as accurate as your equipment can give.
The result was the calculated value (mine) was within .01 of the measured value.
That steak was sure tasty haha.
Bottom line is that when in doubt check your CR as it is assembled....it's more work but very accurate.

techinspector1 (11-15-2012)
While I have a great deal of respect for Jim, let me make this a little easier for you fellows who have domed pistons. The piston needs only to be lower than the block deck to find the dome volume. Putting a short dome down in the cylinder one inch will work, of course, but you'll spend additional time refilling the burette, increasing your chances for error.
If, for instance, the dome is 0.200" above the edge of the piston, then you only need to put the piston down in the bore by 0.200", just enough to miss the clear Lucite, Plexiglas or Lexan cover plate. Hold the cover plate down on the block deck by hand, bring the piston up in the bore and push it up against the cover plate. Lay the cover plate aside and use your dial caliper to measure from the edge of the piston crown at the top ring up to the block deck. Let's say it measures 0.210". Write it down. Use Q-tips and Vaseline to seal around the edge of the piston to form a liquid-tight seal of the piston to the bore. Be careful not to push the piston down in the bore any further. Smear Vaseline all around the bore on the block deck and lay your cover plate down with the fill hole right at the edge of the bore and slightly uphill so the air will bleed out as you fill the void with alcohol from your burette.
Use math to figure the cc displacement of the void as if there is no dome on the piston, as if the piston were completely flat on the crown with no valve reliefs or dome. If we measured the bore at 4.031" (for instance) and we placed the piston down in the bore 0.210", then we have all the numbers we will need. Do the math thusly....
(.7854) x 4.031 x 4.031 x .210 x 16.387 = 43.91 cc's, call it 44.
Let's say you fill the void with alcohol, using 38 cc's to do so. Subtract 38 from 44 and find that the dome is worth 6 cc's. (Remember there are valve reliefs in the dome too, so it will take a lot of dome to make any real difference over a flat-top piston.) Here's a "for instance" of a 6cc dome piston....
I would advise against using water to find displacement in any voids. As Jim said, water ain't wet. You can improve the flow of it by adding a few drops of dishwash detergent and mixing it around, but alcohol is cheap and works very well. Go to Walmart in the pharmacy section and buy the largest bottle of 70% Isopropyl alcohol you can find, then go to the cake mix section and buy a bottle of food coloring so you can see the meniscus in the burette. Your choice, red, green or blue. It only takes a little food coloring to be able to see the fluid in the burette, so add a few drops at a time into your bottle of Isopropyl until you get the desired shade of color.
I agree that if you're going to be serious about knowing what you're doing, you need the proper tools. While there is absolutely a need for a dial indicator and magnetic stand, quite a lot of measuring can be done with a dial caliper and you'll use it more than you will the dial indicator. Go to ebay and bid on a used Starrett, Brown & Sharpe or Mitutoyo 8" dial caliper. Used is fine for your purposes. I recently bought a used Mitutoyo 12" with wooden case on ebay for 85 bucks. With an 8", you can measure the block deck height on most small blocks. With a 12", you can measure the block deck height on any block. A 6" caliper is the most common and you will use it every day, but you can't do block deck height with it. This would be a good representation of a caliper I would recommend....
Mitutoyo 505 676 Dial Caliper 001" 0 8" Stainless Steel w Case | eBay
For instance, on a Gen I SBC, we know that the main bearing bore is ~2.641". Half of that figure (radius of the hole) is 1.3205". Hook one jaw of your dial caliper on the I.D. of the end bearing bore at each end of the block and hook the other jaw of you dial caliper onto the block deck. The key here is to get the caliper lined up parallel with the cylinder bore in "X" and "Y" axes. Let's say you measure at 7.6695". Add the radius of the bore (1.3205") to your
measurement and find a block deck height of 8.990". Since the blueprint dimension from the factory is 9.025", you have discovered that the block is 0.035" shorter than blueprint. That's probably not the only thing you will find. I suspect that you'll end up with four different figures from all 4 corners of the block.
As far as a burette, there are members on this board who will recommend a graduated device of some kind from the drug store. Here is an example of a 60cc catheter syringe that, while being better than having no measuring device at all and possibly doing a pretty good job at checking domes, will not be as precise as a burette.....
60ML EXEL (26304) Catheter Tip Syringe Only (Qty. 5) | 60 ml Syringes | Syringes Only | Syringes & Needles | Med Lab Supply
I am of the opinion that if you're going to do something, do it properly just as a professional would do it, with a graduated 100cc burette (with on/off spigot) and a stand so you can easily do cylinder heads....
Powerhouse Cylinder Head CC Graduated Burette 0 100cc Stand Plexiglass Plate | eBay.
If you put the word out that you will do a set of V8 heads for 35 bucks, you'll be able to pay for the equipment pretty quickly and begin making a little extra cash for yourself.

Tech Inspector you the man. Gotta a question for u. I dont know a hole lot about performance parts but Im trying like hell to learn. Anyway those KB pistons you showed (http://api.viglink.com/api/click?for...13530672408284) are those strictly designed to raise compression ratios. Correct me if Im wrong, do they make the so called dome, raised so there is less area in the combustion chamber therfore creating more compression??
Last edited by allansmith859; 11-16-2012 at 05:00 AM.
In other words, if you were using that piston I linked with a 76cc chamber, you would deduct the 6cc's of the piston dome from the chamber volume and use a zero value for the piston as you do the calculations for SCR. If the dome is 6cc's, then deducting that from the chamber volume would yield a 70cc chamber for calculating.

Why men win literary prizes
Geneticists working at the H.G. Wells Institute for Sex and Gender found that almost all prize-winning literature was written by males.
Professor Orlando Farber, from the Wells Institute, wrote that there is a "demonstrable genetic link between androgenic facial hair and literary ability."
Farber cited Ernest Hemingway (pictured, above left) as an example of "genius by genotype", superior in androgenic hair capacity and literary capacity.
Faber's research compared the achievements of superior writers like Hemingway to inferior writers in the more female categories of children's and young adult writing. Children's writer Roald Dahl (pictured, below left), for example, had no beard.
"Women have made great strides in politics, academia, the corporate world,' said the Professor, ''but they will never be gifted in literature, until they can grow a beard like Tolstoy. This isn't sexism. It's nature."

RP: Yes, all this nonsense about 'society' - as if it were a plot by men to rob women of prizes. Blame nature: she's behind your failure.
Jesse: I agree. According to Professor Farber, the percentage of highly-bearded staff in universities is declining rapidly.

oddly they didn't draw the link between literary prizes and the beardy judges that sit on prize panels.

They did: it's a purely genetic link. They're not biased, they're just recognising nature's tendencies (i.e. beards mean better writing).
Or something.

have to admit I did laugh loudly at Rachel's "credible explanation' comment - which caused tea to spill down my beardless (and therefore inferior) chin.
Better do what nature intended and mop it up

Of course, Damon. Silly me (giggles at the whole thing)

I'm sure there's a link in painting, too. After all, Matisse had a beard, while Picasso - that fraud - was naturally smooth-faced. (Hence his need to prove his manhood with affairs.)
It's all so simple: if you're not hirsute, you need to get a duller desk job.

Event Details
PLEASURE TRIP, LOS ANGELES – LIVE disco & dj's
with Heidi & Jeniluv
Pleasure Trip the party is a floating rolling rotating island in the stars of sound drifting between concrete warehouses on the industrial streets of LA and the shores of fancy hip hotel pools. Take a vacation in its reality.
RSVP www.whoisjack.net or buy your pre sale ticket here !!
40 Thieves is a San Francisco based dance music collective with Corey Black, Layne Fox, Jay WIlliams (aka Jaswho?) at the helm.
Formed in 2005, 40 Thieves work slowly, and have only released a small handful worth of originals, and a handful of well selected remixes and edits to date. They have appeared on the labels Rong, Permanent Vacation, Chinatown, Tirk, Supersoul, and Strut, with new material for 2011 and beyond finding its way to the limited masses via Claremont 56′s sexy sister, Leng. Their remake of the obscure 70′s disco classic by Hot Chocolate, Don't Turn It Off (feat. Qzen) Brennan Green version was named #2 of 2009 year by DJHistory.com and landed at the top of Beatport's best of the decade in 2010.
Styles can range from psychedelic disco and blues to proto-house and acid, with influence stemming from years collecting records by artists like Larry Levan, Francois Kevorkian, Patrick Adams, Patrick Cowley, Arthur Russell, Sly & Robbie, Ron Hardy, Larry Heard, Kraftwerk, James Brown, Funkadelic, Chaz Jankel, Indeep and Liquid Liquid have all impacted the 40 Thieves sound.
PHARAOHS – LIVE!100% silk label artists
'Uhh Uhh' is Pharaoh's debut single from this LIVE act…
Mesmerizing baggy bumps with an ounce of LA glamour, fresh in from the 100% Silk set. Paying tribute to the cement floors of the Haç and the sandy beaches of a phantasy Balaeria circa 1987. On the front you've got the swaggering title track, full of electric pianos, slow-motion strobe synths and urging acid bass arranged with an eye-fluttering psychedelic subtlety, while 'What ???' pushes the tempo up and unloads some swirling, honking sax-work like some stray Members Only edit. Rotate her for 'Flutter & Moan', a proto-prog-House jacker with entrancing arpeggios and memories of twinkle-eyed moments in the throng, before checking out to the "liquid sax/velvet breath' jazz bleats of 'Sunblitz'.

Littlewoods Cup Semi-Final Replay
White Hart Lane
March 4, 1987
Tottenham Hotspur
Allen 61
Allinson 82, Rocastle 90
The Littlewoods Cup Semi Final of 1987 saw some of the most thrilling of all North London derbies.
Spurs won the first leg at Highbury 1-0 through a Clive Allen goal. Allen netted again after 16 minutes of the second leg but, after the break, Viv Anderson and Niall Quinn scored to force extra time and, ultimately, a replay.
After the second game a coin was tossed to decide the venue of the replay (as away goals did not count double). The first toss saw the coin stick upright in the mud. Spurs won the second toss and unsuprisingly chose to play the game at White Hart Lane.
The third game saw Allen strike again for Spurs, and Arsenal's Charlie Nicholas go off injured. With eight minutes left, Arsenal looked finished. Then Ian Allinson tucked away a close-range effort and set up a furious final few minutes.
With time running out, a shot from Allinson rebounded into David Rocastle's path, who ran on to stroke Arsenal's winner past Ray Clemence. Arsenal had never been ahead in the 300-minute-long tie until that moment.
Arsenal manager George Graham, in his first season with the Club, hailed his heroes but admitted "I thought we were out this time."
Graham added "This equals anything I achieved as a player and I hope it's just the start of a new era for this club. When I took over this season I wanted to build a platform for success. It's happened quicker than expected.
"I want this to be just the start. I'm so proud of my team. I told you on Sunday not to under-estimate them and they've proved it again.
"I didn't expect to come back this time, but I wasn't suprised. We are very resilient and have that wonderful never-say-die attitude. It's incredible to think how they have responded to me so quickly. I'm a new manager with a new system and they have accepted everything."
Double-winning captain Frank McLintock watched the final match: "Like us in the 1970s, they've [Arsenal] got players who hate to be beaten. I don't remember us losing when we were a goal up."
Arsenal went on to beat Liverpool 2-1 at Wembley in the Littlewood Cup Final.
With thanks to 'The Official Illustrated History of Arsenal'.
