Re: Sailing outside on the East Coast
A different tack. Since you are going to take the stick down anyway - I presume you are not going out by way of Nova Scotia - if you are you would never want to come back west to Florida - just leave it down until you get to Beaufort, NC. The two days down the New Jersey coast could get a little rocky - then you would have three days inside in the ICW.. You could limit the Jersey Shore to one day by using the & D canal but that involves adding an extra 100 miles to the trip.
Re: Sailing outside on the East Coast
Thank you very much for all the advice. I hope to come out the New York harbor about Oct 10th. I need to stay attached to the east coast till after Thanksgiving. I want to get as far down as I can by the end of Oct. I will keep a weather eye and be on the conservative side. I do have an advantage being 56,000 lbs and able to motor 7knots for 2000 mi. I am grateful for all your experience and I hope I can share mine in the future.

A great read on 500Mb weather maps.

Re: Sailing outside on the East Coast
The November departure is probably a good rule of thumb but, as Auspicious has noted, there are GREAT variations in when the seasons change. That is really what you are looking for, the change from summer to autumn, when the predominant weather-maker is the cold Canadian Maritime upper level low. It bumps lower level pressure systems south and keeps tropical storm systems from running up the flow of the Azores high which predominates in summer. It eventually controls the winter weather pattern. While November almost always marks the complete onset of this pattern, the tropical storm season varies very widely and I think there are a lot of other factors like El Nino, La Nina years and stuff that no one understands yet that go into TS formation.
I can remember from commercial fishing (out of LI) that at some point in November the howling wind always cut the number of days I could work down drastically to maybe 2 days a week for about a month until winter settled in. The trick to sailing south may be to AVOID locking in November if possible if this pattern looks like it's starting early. Watching the weatherfax 500mb charts is really interesting. It would be nice to see these presented in a historical comparison related to the actual onset of winter.
I plan on heading south this year via Bermuda/Bahamas/FL, weather permitting, and will set my depart target according to how I interpret this pattern, not using some arbitrary date.

There is nothing magic about November 1 that isn't a product of the insurance companies. I firmly believe that a big part of the success of the Annapolis Boat Show is the November 1 insurance date. A mid-October show just a day above the November 1 line? Perfect. It will only take one really big late season storm for the insurance company actuaries to move either the date or the line.
But those storms aren't a surprise to anyone that pays attention. You can watch the systems develop off the Cape Verde Islands and make your choices. You'll have plenty of time to get out of the way if 1. you have good weather information on the boat and 2. you understand what it means.

If you have time and are only limited by insurance make the run from New England to Chesapeake and stage in Little Creek. I've left the Bay in February and been wearing shorts and t-shirts in two days. The sea and air temperature across the Gulf Stream is amazing. Launching from New England is going to mean being cold longer (five or six days instead of two). Mr. Street's assessment of temperature doesn't match mine: the temperature difference between Boston and Beaufort just isn't significant in November and December. I've been out there. It's just cold. *grin* In fact, I'd rather launch from Little Creek than Beaufort -- I'll be across the Gulf Stream faster.
Two things I do agree with Mr. Street about are staging from Little Creek (I like Vinings Landing Marina) and getting off the beach. I run 135T (weather permitting) and hit the Gulf Stream perpendicularly to get across as quickly as possibly. Watch the sea water temperature. You'll know when you are there.

Often theres a southeasterly meander, and boats that find it usually finish near the top of the fleet in the Newport-Bermuda Race. In addition to the meander, rotating warm and cold eddies also can work in your favor. Play these eddies right and they can literally slingshot you toward your destination.
The availability of US sources for Gulf Stream information has pretty well dried up. Dutch sources are about the best you can get today without having to pay a lot of money for it.

Picking Your Point of Departure | Cruising World
Good discussion.
Re: Sailing outside on the East Coast
Also note that the GS tips over at North Carolina. If you head out at 135T from Chesapeake Bay you'll cross the GS running NEly or even ENEly and get as much East boost as foul North.
Re: Sailing outside on the East Coast
If there is a northerly component to the wind, the gulf stream can get really sharp off FL. If you have a good weather window, I sort of agree with Auspicious, east early, cross above and make the dash.
Qualification: have not rounded Hatteras, just know it can be adventuresome, so take this for what it's worth!

I do not wish to sail accross, but through the Bahamas. Looking for best jumping point and info about outside Cape Hatteras.
It's three or four days from Little Creek to Abaco. What is your Admiral's objection? If you're heading to PR don't give up Easting too readily. The further North you can get East the happier you will be.
Heading South inside the Gulf Stream takes time and attention. There will be sections at Hatteras and into Florida where you will have foul current. From Little Creek if you cross the GS at 135T to 68dW (ish) you can be in PR in 10 or 12 days.

There's considerable risk to this route, and some like Don Street will insist that one should never round Hatteras inside of the Stream... I disagree with him there, I think leaving from the Chesapeake and running down the beach is an acceptable risk if you're patient enough to wait for the right weather...
More information about the familial restrictions you are working under would help us give you more useful ideas.
Re: Sailing outside on the East Coast
That time of year, you'll want to choose your rounding of Hatteras carefully. Your best choices are simply to motor around during a calm, or try to ride down the beach in advance of a frontal passage while the breeze is still SW-W-NW... You must be very confident of the forecast and timing of the frontal passage, however, as you definitely want to be around Diamond Shoals before the wind moves to the N-NE... In between the Steam and the Outer Banks is not a good place to be, once that happens...
There's considerable risk to this route, and some like Don Street will insist that one should never round Hatteras inside of the Stream... I disagree with him there, I think leaving from the Chesapeake and running down the beach is an acceptable risk if you're patient enough to wait for the right weather... I'd suggest passing the Cape during daylight, I've always cut right around the red nun "2" right off Diamond Shoals with no problem... But again, that is not a place you want to have anything go wrong, especially if weather builds from the NE... Once around the shoals, the bight of Hatteras could afford some protection as a place to heave-to, but it's still a long haul down around Cape Lookout, don't even think about Hatteras or Ocracoke Inlets as a bail-out option in bad weather...
If you're gonna go down the coast as far as Jacksonville, I think you may as well proceed as far down as Lake Worth, Lauderdale, or Miami, and cross from there... Unless you are blessed with exceptionally favorable weather, I just don't see any real advantage to heading for the Bahamas from a spot like Jacksonville... Further north, a place like Charleston, perhaps, actually makes more sense, generally...

Vail Valley Partnership hires new group sales manager
February 11, 2013
EAGLE COUNTY, Colorado – Vail Valley Partnership recently announced that Heather Kerstiens has joined the organization as a group sales manager. Kerstiens comes to the Partnership with a wealth of knowledge about meetings and events from her previous position at the Vail Marriott Mountain Resort. As the senior event manager at the Marriott, Heather worked with clients to plan events, conferences and meetings, many of which were medical-focused groups. Heather joins a team of three other group sales managers including Kim Brussow, Danielle McNair and Jessica Stevens.
At the Partnership, Heather will work to bring continuing medical education meetings and other medical conferences and groups to the Vail Valley.
The need for continuing medical education meetings is essential with the rapid pace of scientific discovery and medical innovation, according to the Partnership.
"I'm very excited to work with the Vail Valley Partnership team," Kerstiens said. "It's an exciting opportunity; working and collaborating with the local medical community to facilitate groups and meetings, showcasing our valley and facilities to visiting professionals and helping to develop the growing economic opportunity that is medical meetings."
Recruiting groups, meetings and weddings to the Vail Valley is something the Partnership places a large and year-round emphasis on. Last year, Partnership destination sales and marketing efforts resulted in $69 million in direct spending in the Vail Valley.
"We are pleased to add Heather Kerstiens to our group sales team and are confident that our focus on health and wellness and medical meetings will help provide an economic boost to Vail's sales tax base. Medical meetings are an increasingly important component of our group sales effort and we are pleased to have a dedicated resource devoted to this effort moving forward," Partnership CEO Chris Romer said.

What The Hagel Fiasco Told Us About The Press
Blog ››› ››› ERIC BOEHLERT
Chuck Hagel's anticlimactic Senate confirmation to become the nation's next Secretary of Defense, passed by a vote of 58 to 41, stood in sharp contrast to the frenzied weeks of partisan fighting, and the often breathless media coverage that surrounded the unprecedented battle over President Obama's pick.
The Washington Post this week tallied up a scorecard to determine whether the furious Republican effort had been worth it. Republicans used up valuable political capital fighting a lost cause, but the Post claimed the party wouldn't suffer politically for its obstructionist ways. Indeed, for Republicans there wasn't "a whole lot of downside " in trying to derail Hagel.
Unfortunately, that's probably true. The Beltway press has made sure Republicans have routinely paid no price for their radical behavior, which means ugly stalling tactics will likely continue under Obama, as Republicans now try to grind the government to a halt on numerous fronts.
During the months-long Hagel debacle, in which the traditionally routine, bipartisan confirmation process was upended by Republicans, we learned some uncomfortable truths about the mainstream press and the right-wing media.
For instance we learned that, thanks to the Friends of Hamas debacle, conservative media sites continue to have much more in common with propaganda than they do journalism. We learned that even the piercing right-wing echo chamber, with conservative outlets working in concert with Republicans in Congress to amplify falsehoods, wasn't enough to sway the Hagel debate.
We learned that the hermetically sealed information bubble is still firmly intact. Reminiscent of the bubble that hyped the Mitt Romney "landslide" that never materialized last November, conservatives in the press assured followers for weeks that Hagel's nomination was doomed, that he'd soon be withdrawing his name, or he'd be rejected outright by angry Democrats.
We learned that non-starter crusades like the Hagel one are perfectly suited for the increasingly obsessive, phony outrage formula that so many right-wing outlets have adopted. (As blogger Charles Johnson noted on Twitter, the day Hagel was easily confirmed by the Senate, Breitbart.com's homepage featured no less than fourteen anti-Hagel headlines.)
Conversely, what the right-wing media, along with Republicans, learned was that the Beltway press will give them a free, unobstructed path to attack, smear and obstruct, and then type it all up as news. They learned there's little risk involved in adopting radical, obstructionist ways.
They learned there's no downside in being tagged the loser of a high-profile confirmation battle, in part because the right-wing press is busy declaring victory. Their argument goes like this: Unlike previous Secretary of Defense nominees, Hagel didn't garner universal support in the Senate, and instead faced fiercely partisan opposition. Therefore he faced "historic" pushback and was "neutered." Therefore it was a win for the conservative movement. (Hagel's public approval rating fell 11 points! It's unclear what he's running for, though.)
The mere fact that partisans plotted to oppose Hagel meant that Hagel had lost. Or something.
In other words, witch hunts are the new normal. From the New York Times:
Republicans on Capitol Hill will not end with Mr. Hagel's confirmation. Republicans have already trained their sights on the next nominee they see as vulnerable: John O. Brennan, who is President Obama's pick to become director of the Central Intelligence Agency.
The truth is the whole Hagel confirmation often resembled a prolonged charade that rarely rose to the standard of serious opposition. It was a "debilitating, sometimes farcical and mainly unserious debate," as Bloomberg's Jeffery Goldberg put it.
Yet it was one that the press gladly legitimized for months with endlessly earnest updates. It was a confirmation fight where Hagel's opponents couldn't even decide why they were trying to block him. Alternately, the spectacle was about Iran. It was about Israel, or Benghazi, or Hagel's his lack of loyalty to the GOP or his personal finances, or nuclear weapons.
It turns out, the charade was about whatever a handful of Republican senators wanted the confirmation to be about on any given day, and the political press dutifully typed up the GOP's carousel of accusations, all the time wondering why Obama had decided to "pick a fight" over Hagel, and why he failed to see the Republicans' opposition coming.
The press took the attack campaign seriously despite the fact Hagel's former Republican colleagues had often praised him, toasting him as "one of the premier foreign policy voices." And they took seriously the right-wing media effort, even though Fox News had complained that under Bush, opposing cabinet selections was "petty," "mean spirited" and "obstructionist."
Did I mention the press often blamed Obama for the whole mess? He was guilty of picking a fight with Republicans... by wanting to have a lifelong Republican serve in his cabinet.
Just look at the language from a recent hand-wringing Politico report that tried to figure out why Obama would want to wage a battle with Republicans by nominating a Republican [emphasis added]:
The White House seems to have underestimated the intensity of the opposition that Hagel would run into in the Senate, despite aggressive efforts by pro-Israel activists to telegraph concerns about the former Nebraska senator's views on Mideast issues and "the Jewish lobby" -- a term he now says he regrets using.
The whole episode seems unnecessary, raising the question of why Hagel was selected in the first place instead of well-respected Defense Department veterans Michele Flournoy or Ashton Carter.
See, if the White House had simply been studying the political currents, the Hagel unpleasantness could have been avoided. According to Politico, it seemed obvious the GOP was going to mount the first filibuster in the history of the United States Senate to block a cabinet nominee, and do it against a former Republican senator who scored a lifetime 84 percent rating from the American Conservative Union and won combat medals fighting in Vietnam.
Looking at that resume, how did the White House not know the GOP would resort to historic obstructionist tactics?
The Hagel fiasco was fueled in part by media failures. And those failures ensure that we'll be forced to watch more GOP confirmation charades.

Our 2" wide suede front belt allows you to move beyond the world of black, brown andchestnut and create a style that is uniquely yours. Not only can you choosefrom 12 fabulous colors, we've also designed the buckle to beremovable via 2 Chicago screws so that you can add your own buckle to suit your personal style. To ensure your belt stands up to normal use, the suede has been firmly fixed to our premium harness leather which does away with the 'scrunching' of cheaper suede belts. Being hand made in the USAby Amish artisans, as well as looking great, this belt is a also abeautiful piece ofcraftsmanship. Co-ordinate you belt with our entire suede range - click here to view.
The belt measurement is shown to the middle hole and would be if you were wearing the belt at your waist. If you wear low-rise breeches or jeans, you should go up 2" on your breech size (e.g. 28 low rise breech = 30" belt).
By far the most accurate method of measuring is to take a belt you currently wear and measure from where the leather folds at the buckle to the middle hole. Follow these steps;
1. Lay your belt down flat.2. Measure your belt from the point where the leather folds where buckle is attached, to the middle hole. Do not include the buckle itself in your measurement.3. Find the corresponding measurement on the chart below to confirm your belt size. On your new belt, the length measurement will be the center hole.
Please note that on each belt there are 5 sizing holes spaced 1" apart to allow for adjustments.

The Bemidji City Council passed an amendment to its tobacco ordinance last night that would regulate and license the sale of electronic cigarettes.
The new version of the law, which goes into effect in about a month, requires that the devices must be sold according to the same restrictions that apply to tobacco, meaning they cannot be sold to minors and stores that sell them will be subject to compliance checks.
The amendment passed on a 4-3 vote with council members Thompson, Hellquist, and Erickson voting against the measure. Council members Olson, Johnson, and Meehlhause joined mayor Rita Alrecht in voting in favor of the ordinance.
The Beltrami County Board will hold a public hearing tonight on the issue of e-cigarettes, and unlike the City, the proposed new county rules would regulate how and where e-cigarettes can be used.

I used to strictly be a chapstick (sometimes lipgloss) gal. The only time I would wear lipstick was when I was in a wedding and I always hated how it looked. I wasn't used to having color on my lips so when I did it was like bammmm what is going on there. I decided this past year to give lipstick another chance. Boy am I happy I did because lipstick and I now have a wonderful relationship. I mean these days lipstick and mascara is all I need. I have become quite lazy with my makeup routine. I blame the pregnancy, haha. I thought I would share some of the shades I have been testing out, starting with a very pink shade and ending with a deep berry color. I most definitely am not a lipstick snob so I have no problem purchasing lipstick at a drugstore.
Lets check out the shades!
Brand: Elle from Kohls
Color: Rouge A Levres
Brand: Flirt! from Kohls
Color: Sangria
Brand: Ulta
Color: Red Carpet Red
Brand: UltaColor: Good Year for Wine
I'll be honest with you, I hate spending a lot of money on lipstick because what if I decide I hate the shade, so these are all very affordable options. The first two shades have been my go to colors this spring/summer. I decided a couple of months ago I wanted some bright, bold shades of lipstick and dove right in purchasing the first two pink shades. I think that was a pretty drastic jump from just wearing chapstick. Last weekend I decided I wanted to add some red shades to my small, but growing collection of lipsticks and that I did. I opted for a red, red shade and then a berry shade. I am loving the fourth shade especially for fall. Yay for my new obsession with lipstick!
So what is your go to color? Any suggestions?
Make sure you head over to My Beautiful Crazy Life and enter the fabulous July giveaway going on. I am giving away some sweet gifts from Anthropology. Head on over to see what they are! And guess what there are 23 other prizes!! Can it get any better than that?!? You can even enter here.

OPI, based in North Hollywood, California, may fetch $900 million to $1 billion, said the people. Investment bank Lazard Ltd. is running the auction for OPI, according to the people. Interested buyers are conducting due diligence on OPI, which sells nail polish, hand-and-foot care products and body lotion.
Coty distributes fragrances such as "Lovely" from actress Sarah Jessica Parker and "Princess" from designer Vera Wang. OPI's products, which are used in nail salons, include the color "Teas-y Does It," from the Holiday 2010 Burlesque collection based on Sony Pictures' upcoming movie starring Cher and Christina Aguilera.
L'Oreal SA, the world's largest cosmetics maker, didn't make a first-round offer, said another person familiar with the matter. The Paris-based company is watching the bidding and may join later, the person said.
Founded in 1981, OPI has annual sales of about $300 million and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization of about $80 million, said the people with knowledge the situation. The company is seeking 11 to 12 times its earnings for the sale, they said. President and Chief Executive Officer George Schaeffer founded the company in 1981, according to OPI's website.
"These rumors have persisted for years, and other than that, I have no comment," said Harris Shepard, a spokesman for OPI.

From terra cotta to cement and with seemingly endless design options, unglazed tiles are a surfacing staple. But one studio has found a way to take their versatility even further. Deborah Osburn, the California-based designer behind online luxe tile marketplace Clé, is applying traditional Japanese textile-dyeing techniques to tile production using a method that relies on equal parts chemistry and patience.
The Watermark Collection comprises dipped tiles (shown) as well as stroked, stained, and washed variations that can be used indoors and outdoors for applications such as backsplashes, showers, and feature walls. Residential Architect talked with Osburn about her work on the collection, current tile trends, and her own sources of inspiration.
How did you come upon the idea for this collection?
I was on a studio visit in northern California and was looking at some unglazed tiles and was captivated by them—I always have been. There's a lot you can do with those surfaces in the kiln or in the production of the tile. It isn't manipulated by something that's placed on top of it such as the glaze. So when I spotted the blank tiles sitting in the studio, I was really enchanted by them. They were like empty canvases.
I asked if I could just order those and we could play around with the unglazed surface in our studio. I had been distracted by ombré and other dyeing techniques. It's sort of a textile thing, but it's also very on-trend and I thought, well, the textural techniques are not something you can do with [glazed] tiles but I thought you could possibly do that with unglazed tiles.
Can you explain your design process?
I put some indigo dye in a vat and just stuck one tile in and left it there. Immediately it started drawing up the dye. After several days, I pulled it out of the stain and let it dry and didn't know quite what to make of it. Everything about it was very new and obviously not a surface anyone has ever seen or experienced before.
How do you ensure that the tiles are visually uniform?
Some tiles will only absorb a quarter of an inch of color and that doesn't do anything for anyone. We created three of four different depths of the stain bath, so if [a quarter of an inch] is as far as [the dye] goes, then I'll put [the tiles] in another level of stain that will be similar to where the other tiles are absorbing. You want to have color that's about three to four inches into the tile. It's tricky, yet, at the end, a client wants to have a certain level of uniformity.
There's no visual clue as to how absorptive the tiles will be?
No, not at all. And what you're really after is that fabulous ombré edge. The different vats will help you get that.
How long does the process take?
For a single tile, about three to four days. It will be longer if the tile does not absorb much and you have to transfer it to the various vats. But you don't find that out until it's been in the original vat for three or four days. Because the unglazed surface is so absorptive, we seal [the stained tile] with a proprietary sealant.
Where does Watermark fall within current tile design trends?
Right now, pattern is huge. Texture is another, as is openness to surface as art and an embrace of craft as an art form. It used to be very delineated—you had artistry and craftsmanship. But now you can have unbelievable craftsmanship that's called artistry or you can have do-it-yourself craftsmanship that the younger generation embraces as something they would put in their home. Craft has become a big deal, which is why I think the Watermark Collection is interesting; there's such a hand-hewn process to it.
Where do you find inspiration for your tiles?
I'm constantly on Pinterest—that's how Watermark came about. I was pinning delft images like crazy and every now and then a blue and white ombré design would pop up and so I'd throw that in. Also, if I go to Cersaie, you're going to find me at the show for maybe half of a day. Where I'm finding all my inspiration is in the fashion boutiques in Italy. Or, even if I'm at a trade show in the States, I'll [go to places such as] Barneys or, in New York, Bergdorf Goodman, to see what's going on with fashion and fabric and so on. From an interiors perspective, that's where you're going to find people being the most innovative. That's where all this has come from. Clé [derives] from my blog, Tile Envy, and that was what Tile Envy was about: my own design process, which bounces back from fashion, to art, to surfaces.
This Q&A has been edited and condensed for clarity.

Hello everyone. Me, Andy and Cory, my brother. We share the duties of keeping a 327 running for daily transportation. We have a small garage behind my house here in Hickory, NC. This problem 327 is in a 63 C10, 3 speed. My questions are, what should my idle timing be? I have engine at 820 rpms, manifold vac is steady at 15, holley 600 vac port capped, has a HEI, 350 heads and headers turbo mufflers.
I read on others threads anywhere from 8 to 12 BTDC. Our engine runs bad at 10 and is hard to get restarted after hot. Am I doing this right. 10 degrees on my digital timing light puts my balancer mark at Zero on chain cover tab? Thanks. Andy.
Have you proved your tdc mark on the balancer being true?
THe inertia ring on the balancer could have moved.
Also some dial back lights don't work accuratley with HEI.
|The Following User Says Thank You to RWENUTS For This Useful Post:
Make sure your mechanical advance inside the distrbuter is working properly. They can stick and freeze up so the advance wont work.
|The Following User Says Thank You to Richiehd For This Useful Post:
I may have a different problem if you want to read further down. Thanks for your response. I am 327 stupid but I do have some tools and the sun is out and its 50 degrees outside.
OK, so I found TDC
and I am adjusting valves.
The method I am using is ,,,
At TDC, adjusting E-1, 3, 4, 8 & I-1, 2, 5, 7.
Then one turn to mark and adjusting E-2, 5, 6, 7 & I-3, 4, 6, 8.
I inspected all the rocker arms, balls, and nuts. I also ran all the pushrods around on a nice piece of glass to check for bends. All straight.
BUT there is weird problem on #7 Exhaust!!!!!!!!!!!!
When I check for ZERO backlash on #7 Exhaust, I can push the pushrod down about 0.140 before it stops. It has enough spring pressure to push me back up.
This feels like the spring inside of a lifter allowing me to fully seat the pushrod and then its strong enough to push the pushrod back up.
In other words, I could have zero backlash at one area, but then push the pushrod down 0.140 and obtain a zero backlash at that setting.
I can push my pushrod down, pretty easy, about .140 and it springs back up.
IS THIS NORMAL? I didn't have that happen on any other valve, just exhaust #7.
Another thing, it started to have a distinct PING or KNOCK on one cylinder. That's why I started with the valve adjustment first. Do I need to remove intake and start going thru the engine. It was a great running engine until last week. We started it and it started missing. Thanks yall.
Does it run better at a lower or higher idle timing (idle timing is called initial timing)?
Besides the timing at idle you need to know the total timing (total timing is idle timing plus mechanical advance, but not counting vacuum advance), and at what rpm the total timing is all in by. To check the timing, you first have to remove the vacuum hose to the advance canister and plug the line so there's no vacuum leak. Only then can you get a reliable timing reading.
The vacuum advance should cause the idle speed to increase along with the timing seen with the timing light when you hook it up to a full-time vacuum source at the carb. A full-time vacuum is called "manifold" vacuum. Hooking the vacuum advance to manifold vacuum is usually preferred over ported vacuum. Ported vacuum is not there at idle, only there when the throttle blades are opened some.
With the valve adjustment on the lifter that you can push down, you want to set the preload with the lifter all the way at the top of its travel. If there's noise from that lifter after it's adjusted correctly, you may need to go into this deeper.

Do you mean,,,After the valve is adjusted, I should or should not be able to push the rocker down this extra .140 travel? Its pretty easy to push down.
Do I need to remove all clearances (this .140) and then adjust the valve? Thanks.
For whatever reason, that lifter is not filling or is not retaining the oil that it uis supposed to fill with when the engine is running.
If the lifter is plugged and is unable to fill with oil when the engine is running, the lifter will be noisy, performance will be off and the valvetrain (cam, lifter, p-rod, rocker arm) could be damaged.
Sometimes the lifter can be removed, taken apart and cleaned, then returned to the engine. You can't usually get away with replacing a lifter w/a new lifter on a cam that has already been used because the lifter and cam wear in together.
More on repairing a lifter is here.
It does seem that I have a lifter that is not staying full of oil. I guess its removing the intake and whatnot, do you agree?
I will worry about timing after I get things back together with new lifter(or rebuilding lifter), or all new lifters. Im just happy to see what may have been my problem all along.
Yeah, to get to the lifter the intake has to come off. Not a huge deal, but hopefully you can avoid that if it stays running like it should.
Good luck!
Colbalt327 Thanks again. We decided to go with the pull the manifold and do the lifters job. I am still trying to figure out what engine specs I have. The engine block number is 3782870, its got 350?, heads, and I dont know whats inside. Last week it ran like a 60's rail dragster. We **n luv it and dont want to damage it.
I think I will get a full set of lifters at the Chevrolet dealership. I also saw a little bit of damage on 2 pushrods right at the oil hole so they will get replaced too. But I wonder if I should loose my cast iron intake and go to aluminum? I like the cast iron intake.
Also about the vacuum for the distributor. There are two ports I question. My distributor is hooked up to "A". Should it be hooked up to "B" instead? Thanks.

If the foot of the lifter is too worn, replacing the lifter w/a new one will likely result in a ruined cam and ground up metal all through the engine which can take out the bearings, or worse. In that case, replacement of the cam and all the lifters is called for.
I would much prefer you to use just the plunger from a new lifter in your old lifter body (replace the guts, in other words), than to try to get away with using a new lifter (or a set of new lifters) on a used cam. Fixing the original lifter by cleaning is the best case. Next to that, replacing the guts of the old lifter, then next would be to use only ONE lifter to replace the unrepairable lifter. Last choice, and one I just cannot recommend under ANY circumstances, is to replace ALL the lifters with new ones.
The reason is pretty simple, really. If one lifter is replaced, only one lobe and one lifter will be ground up into the motor oil to act as sandpaper to ruin the engine. If the entire set of lifters are replaced, the chances are more than one lifter and cam lobe will fail, and the amount of sandpaper in the engine will be a lot greater.
If it turns out that the bad lifter is trashed on the bottom where it contacts the cam, consider the cam trashed, too. In that case, replace the cam AND lifters as a set. It sounds expensive, I know. But it's less expensive than replacing the lifter(s), then having to tear the engine back down again to clean it of the ground up metal caused if/when the cam and lifter fail, then having to replace the lifters a second time along with a new cam, including another set of gaskets and more oil and filter.
BTW, be sure to use this link to the page on taking the lifter apart.
An aluminum intake would be a good addition to your engine. Especially if you're using an adapter to mount a Holley carb on an intake made for a spreadbore Q-jet carb.
If your truck has a mild cam I might go with an Edelbrock Performer EPS (p/n 2701 for satin finish, for '86-back heads).
If the cam is bigger, I'd use a non Air Gap Edelbrock RPM (p/n 7101, satin, for '86-back heads).
BUT before buying an intake, you need to see what heads you have. The bolt holes changed on '86-'95 heads, then again on '96-up heads.
Having 15 inches of vacuum could mean you have a bigger than stock cam, or it might need more initial timing. It might even have a vacuum leak. Does it have a "lope" to the idle, or is it very smooth?
You are hooked up to ported vacuum. It might run better using manifold vacuum (the vacuum port on the baseplate). Try it and see. The problem is sometimes the vacuum advance gives too much advance. Usually 10 to 12 degrees added vacuum advance is about right if you're using manifold vacuum and a good amount of initial timing. It won't hurt to try using manifold vacuum, though. You will find that it will increase the idle speed, so be ready to lower it and to readjust the idle mixture screws to get the highest idle speed, or highest vacuum if you have a gauge.

Snow held everything down pretty well. You are the guy who is out here in Ut all the time right? Were you around for this last one. I am only about 40 mins from SLC. Up here in Gods country, although West Palm sounds pretty good right now!!!!It was a tornado with snow that is for sure... We were out in it last night helping a few people get out that were stuck!!! It was a tornado for sure. Fun though in hindsight... Still somewhat young and stupid I guess. For a few more years anyway!!
Yea, I have mine up as well but not quite that high. I am about 16" up. I got an old pigeon racer loft from a gal over in Oakley that keeps all my girls warm enough. Sounds like you have a huge place. How many birds do you have in there? Sounds like a good sized place. Love to see how you did the trap door for clean out...As soon as I am allowed to do pics I will send some snow photos, It will truly blow your mind. I was clearing 7-8' snow drifts this last weekend. I finally got all the way in and wow what a chore. Only to have in drift back in two days later. Went out today and yep it is totally drifted over, like I was never there. I can't believe the snow this year@#$%^#@@!

Re: aftermarket radio
yeah it kind of sux man, i was wanting to do the same thing, i dont have factory navigation but was wanting a double din DVD upfront since i already have a garmin and barely ever use gps anyways! but i dont want to install a aftermarket and then have a pointless 6 disc in the dash just sitting there, and also losing the rear dvd audio, so you would only be able to use the headphones for the back! ...Im not to excited about having to spend like 100 on a adapter for my steering wheel controls either, and as far as the adapter for the factory amp mikedyke was talking about im not sure what that is!?...Ill prob just end up keeping my factory head unit, which as of the other day stopped reading cds! Unless i come across a really good deal on a aftermarket double din!

FOX's Hannity falsely accused Dems of voter fraud
Research ››› ››› ANDREW SEIFTER
One day before the presidential election, FOX News Channel host Sean Hannity falsely suggested Democrats were guilty of voter fraud in the states of Florida, Ohio, and Pennsylvania.
Hannity on Ohio
On the November 1 edition of FOX News Channel's Hannity & Colmes, Hannity claimed that it is "necessary" for observers to monitor the presidential election in Ohio because "for example, in Franklin County [Ohio], there were more people registered than there were actual adults in the exact county." But, contrary to Hannity's suggestion, that is not a result of voter fraud.
As The Columbus Dispatch noted on October 1, citing county Board of Elections director Matthew Damschroder, the discrepancy was a result of "motor voter" -- the 1993 National Voter Registration Act that "made it easier for Americans to register to vote ... [but] also made it more difficult for elections officials to purge their lists of those who don't follow through and cast ballots." Therefore, many voters who have moved away from Franklin County are still likely registered to vote there. Media Matters for America has noted a similar discrepancy as a result of "motor voter" in Philadelphia.
Hannity remarked that "Republican officials brought challenges last week to 35,000 voters, and letters sent to them were undeliverable. So you have some real voting fraud concerns in Ohio and elsewhere."
But as The New York Times reported on October 29, "About 12,000 of the [35,000] challenges have been dismissed or withdrawn" by the Republicans, lending credence to Democrats' claim that "most challenges were against legal voters, including some in the military." And the Columbus Dispatch noted on October 30 that of the 23,000 remaining challenges, "[a] three-judge panel of the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals denied GOP requests to block a lower-court ruling that said county boards of elections could not hold hearings on those challenges. Republicans said they would not appeal."
Hannity on Florida
Hannity echoed a questionable Republican claim that "925 felons in prison" in Florida "voted illegally."
The November 1 edition of The New York Times also reported this Republican accusation without making any apparent effort to verify it, as MMFA noted. But the St. Petersburg Times reported on October 29 that the claim was based on "two controversial and flawed state databases" that had been rejected by the state's Republican secretary of state, Glenda Hood. In addition, the St. Petersburg Times noted that a preliminary investigation by its reporters "quickly found" two people on the list who were, in fact, eligible to vote.
Hannity on Pennsylvania
Immediately following his claim that 925 felons were allowed to illegally vote in Florida, Hannity drew attention to Republican concerns about voter fraud in Pennsylvania that had already been dismissed by a federal judge: "I know that [U.S. Representative] Curt Weldon [R-PA] was very upset, because [Governor] Ed Rendell [D-PA] sent out a nine-page document to all the prison wardens across the state telling them that they had to post a document in every cell block to allow their prisoners to vote by absentee ballot."
But, as The Express-Times (Easton, PA) reported on November 2, Rendell's actions were an "effort to ensure prisoners who are eligible to vote have the opportunity to do so." And The Philadelphia Inquirer reported on November 2 that "a federal judge refused an emergency request" from Weldon and Pennsylvania state Representative Stephen Barrar "to impound any absentee ballots received from prison inmates."

The nation of Israel remains a bastion in the Middle East for its democratic form of government and rights allowed to all members of society, including Arabs, to express differing views. But, a move on the part of several members of the Knesset to criminalize Arab beliefs regarding the founding of the state of Israel would undermine democracy. Many Israel Arabs regard the date of the founding of Israel as a day of mourning and term it, "nakba." Under the proposed legislation would make criminal celebrating "Nakba Day" with sentences of up to three years for those who seek to express their disapproval of the nation of Israel.
We Americans lived through "McCarthyism" in the fifties when those who spoke liberal ideas were deemed to be "communists," forced to sign loyalty oaths and many lost their jobs or were sent to jail. The nation of Israel is a strong democratic society and it can withstand some of its citizens celebrating a day of mourning.
Israel educators might invite Arab speakers into their schools to discuss why they are celebrating "Nakba Day" and ask permission to discuss with Muslim students why Israel should exist.

The shooting deaths of two Israel soldiers who were hitching back home has been proven to be the work of members of the Palestinian Authority security forces. The two men turned themselves in to Palestinian authorities and confessed to the crimes. Up to this point, the government of President Abbas had claimed the shootings were a criminal act that had nothing to do with its forces. Israelis are infuriated that Palestinians did not immediately inform them of the arrest nor of the confessions of the two men.
At this point in the struggle to secure a just peace between the two groups, it is imperative that both sides stand back from hostile actions that could damage efforts. Israeli housing construction was condemned by this writer, and we strongly condemn this outrage by members of the Palestinian Authority. Both murderers must immediately be turned over to Israel. Both sides have to avoid such incidents.

I'm so sorry. how's he doing?
I think I will print it. It's highly unlikely that anyone I know will read it, and the people I am writing about in unflattering terms are just an initial. And four of seven are either dead or nonexistant. Two of them were more angry then anything, and one was just... pain. I think if those three people managed to get their hands on it they might know it was them, but I haven't spoken to any of them in years. So... it's unlikely they would. And to be honest it would be a little bit of a relief if they did read it.

AMES, Iowa — Sara Shepherd is taking over her family's farm. Julie Van Waardhuizen is fully engaged in farming with her husband. Mother and daughter Rexanne Struve and Brandi Wiig are beginning to look at transitioning the farm from one generation to the next. Although their farming situations vary, these Iowa women all credit Annie's Project with improving their ability to make sound risk management decisions.
Annie's Project empowers farm women to be better business partners through networks and by managing and organizing critical information. Iowa State University Extension and Outreach has been providing this educational program in Iowa for 10 years. Some 1,500 Iowans are among the 10,000 women nationwide who have participated in Annie's Project.
Sara Shepherd, Stuart, runs a purebred Charolais cow/calf herd and corn and soybean row crop operation. She took over the family operation from her father.
"Annie's Project gave me the opportunity to learn a little, but then go back and say, 'now Dad, how does this work in our family's operation?'" Shepherd said. "Annie's Project gave me the opportunity to have really good conversations with my dad about more in-depth information about his farming operation."
Shepherd's father passed away earlier this year. "As he was declining we had many conversations about me taking over the family farming operation, me continuing the cattle herd. It's about more than passing the land on to the next generation. It's about passing that knowledge base and that wealth of information. That's the true legacy," she said.
Julie Van Waardhuizen farms with her husband near Oskaloosa. They run a 4,800-head hog custom finishing site and a 900-head feedlot.
"I take care of our hog finishing site. I also calve the cows in the spring, basically everything with the cow-calf herd," Van Waardhuizen said. She acknowledges that she is far more involved in the farm operation than are many farm women.
"I think it's important that even if you aren't involved a lot in the farm, you need to understand what your husband does … so you can understand the stress that farming has. By learning different things you can communicate a lot better with your spouse and know what he's talking about — just having a broader knowledge of what farming actually is," she said.
"The tools that I learned in Annie's Project helped me put together a loan proposal for the bank with cash flows and payback analysis," Van Waardhuizen said — and she received the loan.
Rexanne Struve, Manning, is a practicing veterinarian and a farm wife. She enrolled in Annie's Project along with her daughter, Brandi Wiig.
"It was very great training and it was a fantastic opportunity for us because I believe in transitioning the farm from one generation to the next," Struve said. "It's given me a better understanding of things like marketing, insurance, those type of things that I really haven't paid a whole lot of attention to before. … I'm better informed as to how decisions should be made."
"I started out being a farmer's daughter, growing up on a family farm. I transitioned to a farmer and a farmer's wife," said Wigg. "Annie's Project has given us a lot of information to look for the future, transitioning from Mom and Dad down to my husband and I."

Airbender is a 2004 model Fountaine Pajot Eleuthera 60. As you might surmise from her name, she is owned by a pilot - and a very distinguished one. This former naval pilot was in fact the Admiral of one of our largest air craft carriers. So perhaps I need say little more about how well this boat has been cared for. The Buyer of this catamaran will only need to pack his bags, stock the pantry and jump onboard as Airbender is ready for the sea and extended cruising. The owners have just completed a generator overhaul, a rigging inspection and some replacement, sail inspection and re-stitching, and detailed inspection of all systems. The rigging, sail repairs, generator, engine, and hull expenditures exceed $30,000. Everything onboard is of the highest quality making this boat priced well below market and a great deal for the lucky sailor that finds her first.
Air Bender was purchased by her current owners a few years back in France and she was immediately placed into top order for world voyaging. She has been cruising in Europe and the Med and recently sailed from Gibraltar to the Canaries. She left the Canaries on March 5, 2009 and arrived in Tortola where she is available now for immediate sale.
Air Bender is seriously the best Eleuthera on the market at the best price with motivated sellers. She is the best value on the current market for a late model 60 foot catamaran. To learn all about her call Phillip at the Multihull Company.

Dr. Jennifer Shu and her team of pediatricians answer your health questions.
When visitors come to my home, they ask if they can smoke in another room. What should I tell them?
Children's homes should be completely smoke-free. Even if smokers smoke in a separate room, smoke-filled air is spread throughout the home, exposing everyone in the house to secondhand smoke. Visitors to your home should honor your request not to smoke.
If they cannot do this, insist that they smoke outside, away from open doors and windows. Keep in mind that residual smoke on their clothing and their belongings may release toxins into your home.

The new GI Bill which provides excellent education opportunities to those who have served in the armed forces does not apply to members of the National Guard who also risked their lives. According to military spokesmen, about 33,000 Guardsmen who served during the post 9/11 crisis don't qualify for the generous program which covers the entire tuition bill. These members of the National Guard were activated for federal duty under the control of their governor even though they were paid with federal funds instead of being activated under Title 10 under which they would be considered full time members of the armed forces.
The legislation had a blind spot and it should not be that difficult to overcome this unfortunate denial of the GI Bill to those who risked their lives in service of the nation. Anyone reading this should please contact their congressmen and urge a change that would assist these gallant men and women of the National Guard.

I feel like I've searched the world for what I believe to be the screen accurate visor for the ESB Fett helmet.
It should be dark green like a welding face shield, and approx. .125" (3mm) thick.
Dark green (shade 3) face shields are common, but not in that thickness.
I've only found them in .040" (1mm) and .060" (1.5mm).
If you think about it, it sucks that even after all this time everyone (myself included) has spent on trying to get our helmets accurate, that no one anywhere, ever, has found the correct stuff.
I have .125 transparent green acrylic, but there is only one universal type made around the world and it is too much of an emerald green and is not correct. You cannot go the acrylic sheet route unless you want to have a custom color made and that costs thousands.
I am of the opinion that the original visor was from a welding face shield anyway.
Has anyone ever found a shade 3 dark green face shield in .080" (2mm)? I think they make those.
I think that is the best we can ask for until the day (if ever) someone stumbles upon one that is .125" (3mm).

Arsenault's fall: Is anyone surprised?
In 2007, the Attorney General's office found that the Diocese still was not placing accused priests on leave as required by the settlement. Arsenault said this in response: "The Report cites no instance where we have not complied with our diocesan policy, the Charter, and the Agreement."
That was a lie, clearly contradicted by the report. Shown that the report documented instances of non-compliance, Arsenault said, "there might be a lack of full compliance in one instance" and added, "It's not going to be perfect on any one day, but I do think it is substantially compliant."
That was the kind of deception to which Arsenault subjected parishioners throughout the scandal. This week he said he would plead guilty to stealing thousands of dollars from the Diocese, Catholic Medical Center and the estate of Rev. Msgr. John E. Molan. The only surprise is that he admitted his guilt, though he let authorities investigate him for nearly a year first. We wonder what he used the money for.
If the court accepts the plea-bargain, Arsenault will spend four years in prison for his thievery. For his many moral transgressions against the Roman Catholic faithful of New Hampshire, he will never be held to account, at least not in this life.

Originally written on Start 'N' Park Blog | Last updated 10/14/14
AVONDALE, Ariz. – Shell-Pennzoil Dodge driver Sam Hornish Jr. will start Sunday's AdvoCare 500 here at Phoenix International Raceway from the 26th position. Hornish clocked in with a 26.633-second (135.171 mph) lap in Friday's qualifying session to earn the starting spot. "I feel bad for the guys first of all because we wrecked the first car," Hornish said after making his run." We got down on the splitter and actually started bouncing the front of the car. That's my call to know when it's too much. We were very free getting into the corners here for qualifying. Guys worked real hard on the Shell-Pennzoil Dodge and I feel pretty good about what they're going to give me moving forward from here. It's been a rough day but we're going to keep our heads and keep working at it. I appreciate all their help." Hornish got into the wall with his primary Dodge Charger early in today's practice session and the team immediately went to their backup Shell-Pennzoil car. The backup Dodge is a new car and has not seen action to date. "No because you want to drive it in there like a Nationwide car (smiles) and you just can't do that," Hornish responded to Dodge SRT's Jimmy White when asked if the morning's Nationwide Series practice was a help here today on the Cup side. "Both laps into Turn 1 the car was a bit free and the second lap, I just couldn't turn it into Turn 3. It just slid up the track a little bit further than what I wanted to. I'd say I probably lost at least a good tenth of a second down there. The guys did a really good job of getting us one run out there today in the backup car before we had to come out and qualify. We're not going to start anywhere near as well as we want but at the end of the day, this is still a 312-lap race. I started 38th here and finished ninth so I know that it can be done." Kyle Busch established a new track qualifying record in winning today's Coors Light Pole Award with his fast lap of 25.943 seconds (138.766 mph). The top-four qualifiers broke the old record. Martin Truex Jr. was second with a 26.046 (-second lap/138.217 mph), Denny Hamlin third (26.167 seconds/137.578 mph) and Kasey Kahne (26.186 seconds/137.478 mph) fourth. Aric Almirola (26.237 seconds/137.211 mph) rounded out the top-five qualifiers. Kurt Busch, Paul Menard, Regan Smith, Tony Stewart and Mark Martin rounded out the top 10. Penske Racing teammate Brad Keselowski will start Sunday's race from the 14th position after turning in a lap of 26.350 seconds (136.622 mph). Points-battle rival Jimmie Johnson will start 24th after recording a lap of 26.580 seconds (135.440 mph). "I'm confident that we'll be fine in the race," offered crew chief Todd Gordon. "The tires are so hard that if you got just a few inches out of the groove during the practice, you were in trouble. Our guys did an excellent job in getting the backup car out and ready to go. Sam regrouped well and we would have been a lot faster if we'd had the opportunity to qualify later in the session. We have two practice sessions here tomorrow and we will get our Shell-Pennzoil Dodge dialed in and ready for Sunday's race." Saturday's schedule here at PIR features practice sessions from 9:30 a.m. till 10:25 a.m. and from 12:35 p.m. till 1:25 p.m. (live on SPEED-TV) Sunday's AdvoCare 500 (500 kilometers/312 miles/312 laps) has a scheduled 1:00 p.m. local starting time (Mountain Standard Time) here on this 1.0-mile speed plant known as the Desert Mile. ESPN-TV and MRN Radio will provide live coverage of all the action.

I've been reading different posts and looking at the pics of the BF chest armor.
My question is about the curves. I have the templates cut and transferred to sintra. Now I need to curve it to match my body.
How does everyone seem to get the perfect curves on the armor? They all seem uniform and accurate.
Do you just heat the sintra and bend it a little at a time or do you form the sintra around something? I searched but did not find a conclusive answer.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Great job everyone, there are a lot of clever people here.

Thanks . I know that the receiver tube has a smaller ID to prevent using the original bolt. I was hoping that with all of the members here that someone had put one of the SAS3 kits together. I have some Sten kits and I want to build one.
Has anyone here used an SAS3 build kit to assemble a legal Sten MKIII? If so, do the instructions have enough detail to complete the build without guess work?
What are the US parts count, if any? Also, is the original trigger group 100% usable for S/A with modification?
Thanks . I know that the receiver tube has a smaller ID to prevent using the original bolt. I was hoping that with all of the members here that someone had put one of the SAS3 kits together. I have some Sten kits and I want to build one.
I know what you mean about funds. I have enough AK kits to last a while. But I was thinking about after the first of the year when the kits with barrels dry up.
Right now I am researching so that I know exactly what I am up against.
Instructions are easy to follow with photos. US parts included are trunions, receiver, bolt, hammer. Non-count US parts are firing pin, recoil rods, springs, barrel extension.Originally Posted by RTO68-69Wrong.Originally Posted by Cephus
Bolt is entirely new manufacture, not at all similar to AR15.
Original Sten trigger group is used.
I heard there is a new set of semi parts available, the old conversions really didn't work well if at all. there was some informatioin on this on the 1919 board recently.
I built a MKII, MKIII, and a MK5 on the SAS3 kits and all work wonderfully! Much more reliable than the old Catco sten I had.Originally Posted by pirate56
donvito, if I purchase the SAS3 kit will I need anything else to complete the build? Other than the MKIII parts kit. Also, do I have to contact the BATF for this build with the SAS3 kit?
Thank you for the info.
You will need the basic cut up Sten SMG kit. That's it. No need to contact ATF. There is an ATF letter with it outlining what is required for a build. The SAS3 kit has been inspected and approved by ATF tech branch as well. I done builing as I have one of each but I heard they are offering one smg kit with every sas3 kit purchased for only $30 so I may be ordering another one!Originally Posted by RTO68-69
I have a full kit and a full semmi kit to build it with from the place mentioned above , the kit looks prety easy because the instructions are very compleat looking , with many pics. I have not done it due to time.
It realy looks to me as if the most dificult thing would be carefully grinding then old spot welds apart. not too bad...
price well a littel high in my oppinion , not for the work involved to make the conversion kit but for me, the end price and the looks of the finished gun ... well I just like AK's.
if you like to look fo the kit I would go for it .. if you understand an AK build you can do this build too..
I've done a few tube gun's . Hardest part for me was getting the old kit apart .

El Toro has gone ballistic in Tokyo. Shinzo Abe could well go down in postwar Japanese history as a transformational Prime Minister, in the same league as Yoshida, Nakasone and Koizumi. The LDP/Komeito majority in the Diet now enables Abe-san to implement his anti-deflation policies even as the latest Tankan survey suggests another drop in consumer confidence even while exports fall.
