|Topic Review (Newest First)
Thanks for the input. He is comfortable walking around people in many different situations and appears relaxed and curious. It is only when he is sitting and getting petted that I am seeing this behaviour. We've always put him in sit when meeting people. When this behaviour started, we thought by putting him in a sit first and then letting him approach the person when they put their hand out to pet that he would not be forced to be petted if he was uncomfortable. He will approach, let them pet and then stand there and bark. No hackles, no lunging, no sign of aggression that I can see but his ears are held in a position that says he's not comfortable. We've stopped all petting encounters now on our walks. He is okay sitting there next to me when I talk. We've never let people rush up to him... I've got my blocking move and my "sorry, he's training" to keep people away when needed
I will check out the Leerburg article and have the McConnel book already and will see if there's something I can adapt. Also have the first video from Sophia Yin... found it helpful for reactivity to dogs.
|David Taggart
He barks because he wants to come closer and play, he calls them. But general public is not an object for your growing GSD to play with. You have to provide him with an object - a ball, and train him to keep his attention on you during your walks, not on some strangers. Move away from them every time he barks, walk in opposite direction if convenient, show him that the strangers are not worth of his attention.
Visit busy places like parks on Saturday afternoon, shopping centes, town centres as often as you can. Do not stop at people and say "Sorry" if their children want to touch your dog. Just walk on your own with your dog. He got used to go to people himself - and that is a really bad habit, may lead to a real desaster: some idiot might try to shoo him, some child scream and your dog could be really upset of such an outcome and get agressive. If you really like meeting people - make a ritual out of it, ask your dog to sit, explain to the kids how and where to touch him. I don't advice you to allow any adults such a contact, and watch out - little children have big farthers your dog may start barking at and frighten the child. 10-12 year olds are the best, they can play ball with your dog, not just intimidating him by petting. But, of course, you should train to ignore people he wants to go to himself first.
Sounds like uncertainty, and is fear reactive to people who aren't in his immediate family.
You can start out at extreme, and if he is under threshold still you can move him up faster than you can say with my girl.
First start with keeping distance with people, he can look alert. But if he is under threshold (which is what you always want him to be at) he should NOT be barking, growling, hair up, tail tucked, tail aroused, trying to run away, etc. But he can be watching him. As he watches them give him a treat and praise him. Eventually your distance will become shorter and he will still be under threshold, and eventually (if you stick to it, and have lots of interactions and go at his pace, could be months, years..) People can pet him and it will be a positive thing for him.
My dog has fear aggression to all strangers. Zelda is similar and so basically i am working on changing her response to unfamiliar people from one of fear to one of relaxed happiness. During this process i need to keep her safe and people. I am changing that emotional state of fearfulness which in lots of dog cases can and does lead to aggression. Thankfully Zelda gives lots of signals and calming signals. Which i do not want to stop, because it lets me know when its over her threshold and this is important not to stop, as it can lead to a unpredictable biter. Which is never easy to work with.. instead of trying to change her reaction to strangers, i want to change her entire emotional response (fear), because that is what is causing her reactions.. counter conditioning works for humans too! The more positive interactions the better. However, it's better no interaction than a negative. So if you are uneasy about being able to control the situation than leave. Better to be safe than sorry. And just so you know, my whole life had to be changed to ensure her safety from herself and other peoples. She is not even close to our goal, but improvement is still a step forward and that is all i ask.
Patricia McConnel, The Cautious Canine-How to Help Dogs Conquer Their Fears has really helped me, i suggest you buy it or borrow it from someone to read, a great resource. So is Sofia Yin.

Watch the ears and tail next time .?
I disagree with correcting for "that" behaviour he's uncomfortable with some people for some reason? Don't really see how you can "correct" stress out of a dog?? So I agree with you and if a trainer is suggesting either don't do it or find a new trainer!
I feel a much better approach is here:
Leerburg | Who Pets Your Puppy or Dog
Teaching your dog to ignore people is in "my" opinion a much better route. Right now he's picking and choosing who to "engage" that's your job. He should be people neutral, he should learn to view people as furniture..of no consequence.
You take the weight of decision making off his shoulders and you'll develop a tighter bond with your dog!
Barking at people
I have a 22 month old GSD who has starting barking at people he meets while walking. We got him at 6 months completely unsocialized. He had never been out of the pen at his breeder's before we got him as breeder was in bad health and was having trouble taking care of him. We were surprised at how friendly he was with people with such little previous interaction with people. He's been socialized a lot since that time and been in numerous training classes. He loved going up to people and getting petted when younger. When he turned 16 months and after being neutured, we noticed him being nervous around people he hadn't met. A few times he would go up to them and then back away and bark. We immediately put a halt to people petting him unless he initiated the contact and looked comfortable. Just recently, he's meet a few people he's known before on walks, walked up to them, got petted and then barked at them. We've spoken to our obedience trainer and was told to correct him when he does that. I'm worried there's something else going on and that a correction could be making it worse. He's barked at both men and women. Any suggestions?

Uhhh... Move?
The cost of living there is getting to the point where the 3 people I know are bailing out of the state faster than you could shake a stick at, as long as the stick isn't pointy, over 16" long, does not have any pokey knots on it or doesn't have a stick shroud on it.
That state needs to be taught a lesson, and the only way that is going to happen is a mass exodus from there by it's remaining semi-sensible residence. (Not always possible I know, selling a home there is about as bad as it's ever been from what I understand.)

Hail a cab.
If you don't know this person, you are this person.
Moving away from New York was difficult. I loved New York in the two years I lived there, and in that period of time, I learned what it was like to be a real New Yorker.
All of the hot dog stands, the buildings, the people walking to work -- these were the things that made New York so unique. And of course, who can forget the cabs? Taxis! Real actual taxi cabs! Where are you going to find those outside of New York?
I bet you can imagine the excitement I felt when I saw these awesome Geyser Peak Bin Series Cab Sauvs for sale. It took me to those New York summers spent standing on the sidewalk, hailing a cab. The berry and plum flavors reminded me of the fruit that I'd see at the produce section of a New York market. It was like everywhere I turned there was a reminder of what it was like to live in New York.
I've got to hand it to Geyser Peak. It's amazing that they could craft a wine tailored so closely to what it's like live in New York. And believe me, I would know.

Is our universe the only universe?
Is there more than one universe? In this visually rich, action-packed talk, Brian Greene shows how the unanswered questions of physics (starting with a big one: What caused the Big Bang?) have led to the theory that our own universe is just one of many in the "multiverse."

CGI 'Mr. Peabody & Sherman' Trailer Honors and Updates the Hand-Drawn Classic [Video]
There are only a handful of people on this planet more skeptical of modern day, family-friendly reinterpretations of the masterfully crude and hilariously dry animated features that comprised The Rocky & Bullwinkle Show. There's demonstrable proof that such endeavors simply do not work, specifically the mostly terrible 2000 live-action version The Adventures of Rocky & Bullwinkle starring Robert De Niro and Brendan Fraser's earnest but unsuccessful turn as Dudley Do-Right in 1999. After seeing those films, fans of producer Jay Ward's wry variety series shuddered to think what might come next; Fractured Fairy Tales, Aesop's & Son, and most probably, Peabody's Improbable History, a brilliantly silly series of vignettes about a relentlessly smug, time traveling dog and his human sidekick visiting historical figures only to discover them in various states of indignity and disgrace.
Well, it would seem that smarter heads have prevailed in the thirteen years since Hollywood's last attempt to make a Rocky & Bullwinkle-based film. Not only is the new film, Mr. Peabody & Sherman, an animated affair, but it's helmed by The Lion King co-director Rob Minkoff himself. The theatrical trailer released today reflects an obvious mandate to make Peabody and Sherman more emotionally palatable for the all ages audiences of today, but expresses a great deal of the sardonic spirit that original creator Ted Key infused into his classic cartoons.

Discussion in 'Football, Baseball, and Hockey' started by roscoe36, Jan 24, 2011.
C'mon Tigers fans, this is the year!
Is that the Detroit Tigers? or Tiger Woods??
Baseball Player Quits, Says "I Don't Deserve $12M" | NBC Washington Tigers need to sign this guy.
He was feeling overwhelming guilt over taking money without being able to play. I wish Bobby Higginson woulda felt that way a few years back.
I didn't want to start a new thread, but I wanted to post this somewhere. This is awesome!!!!! Wake Forest Baseball Coach Donates Kidney To Player Suffering Rare Condition | ThePostGame
Tigers' Miguel Cabrera charged with DUI in Florida | Detroit Free Press | freep.com
You gotta love the Orwellian language of the charges. "Resisting an officer without violence" Sounds to me like he was probably trying to assert his rights.
"Do you know who I am ?"
While drinking a bottle of whiskey. No big deal.
So far...nobody has been hurt except himself. Not a good plan though if you're planning on a HOF career. To me...it seems that taking a swig out of the bottle in front of the cop is like a childish call for help.
I agree, it's not a big deal.
Roscoe dutifully opened up a Tiger's discussion thread way back in January and nobody seems to care. Not much content so far, even with the season quickly approaching. Baseball could become very interesting this season...especially if Football and Basketball suffer from shutdowns. I researched the Tiger's recent history as I considered where they might finish and found that they haven't finished first in their division since 1987. Yikes...With only 5 teams to compete against, that's even more pathetic than the Lions. They also tricked me into predicting 98 wins for them last season, and then they delivered only 81 wins... I really believe in their level of talent though, [SARCASM]almost as much as I believe in the Philadelphia Eagles.[/SARCASM] Anyways, I'm going to predict 96 wins this season...along with a first place finish. Two tiger pitchers this season will top 18 victories, with Verlander winning 22 games. Now all I need is Bill Laimbeer to come over here and verify this vision.....
I'll go 85 and they still won't win the div.
I'm going to predict 83-79. I worry about Phil Coke and Brad Penny as starters. Also, I worry about lack of punch at the bottom of the order (Inge, Avila, Peralta). It should be a fun year. I can't wait!! "For lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone; the flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing of birds is come, and the voice of the turtle is heard in our land."
This season looks promising as long as Leyland doesn't blow it in September with over managing the late inning pitching match ups I am thinking at least 85-90 wins based on what I have seem in preseason. They will need Zumaya to have a nice recovery and at least be back before the all-star break and then pitch well all the way through to the end of the season.
I just take it day-by-day. At my age, I don't by green bananas, or make long term predictions. I'll just be happy to still be interested in the Tigers come September. "Its a long, long time from May to December...." P.S. Thanks, Bill, for the old Ernie quote. Still a favorite of mine.
I've given up on Zoom. I think the team has to. Any thing he gives us is a bonus.
Zoom is suppose to be the 7th-8th inning set up/hold guy before Valverde comes in the for the proverbial save. If he is there and affective, it makes both JV's jobs easier. Oh by the way Max Scherzer gave up 12 runs in 3 innings today.
Joakim Benoit is definitely the 8th inning setup guy. I think Ryan Perry is the 7th inning guy right now with Zumaya on the IR. Zumaya is nice insurance, but even without him, the bullpen should be okay.
Separate names with a comma.

Encountering Other Boats
Weather Emergencies
Weather can change very rapidly and create unexpected situations for boat operators. Even meteorologists have trouble predicting rapid changes in the weather. You should always monitor weather developments. One way is to tune into the frequencies listed below on a VHF radio.
What To Do If Caught In Foul Weather
Put on personal flotation devices (PFDs) and make sure they are properly secured. If there is fog, sound your fog horn. See page 34. Head for the nearest shore that is safe to approach. Head the bow into the waves at a 45 degree angle. PWC should head into the waves at a 90 degree angle.
Reduce your speed. Seat passengers on the bottom of the boat, as close to the centerline as possible.
Minimize the danger of having your boat struck by lightning by seeking shelter in advance of a storm. If caught on open water during a thunderstorm, stay low in the middle of the boat. Secure loose items. Have emergency gear ready.
Keep the bilge free of water. If the engine stops, drop anchor from the bow. If you have no anchor use a "sea anchor", which is anything (a bucket on a line, a tackle box) that will create drag, and hold the bow into the wind.

Handsome, narcissistic Mumbai music producer Ishaan (John Abraham) takes his doting mother (Zarina Wahib) his overprotective sister (Mini Mathur) and his gorgeous girlfriend (Chitrangda Singh) for granted until the day he falls in love with his new neighbor Gauri (Prachi Desai), who teaches him the true importance of relationships. With her philosophy to guide him, Ishaan works to repair the relationships he's neglected in the past, but finds that taking responsibility for his selfish behavior is easier said than done. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Discussion in 'February 2007' started by Dlev59, Feb 3, 2007.
I agree. I don't think the team is better with Webber over Ben. Not at all.
Our bigs, however productive, are slow. Yes. Sheed is the only big with some mobility but as mentioned, he is no Ben. Sheed is by far our best defensive big. Davis does move some. But can he do anything with Shaq and will they play him this year? Pavolvic getting that easy into the lane for whatever reason points to the need for a perimeter defender before the trading deadline. That would help out a bit for our front line. We went with Webber for the offense. Fine. We do need a back up point-- but even more--we need to get better perimeter defense for the big run, phoney Stern rules or no phoney Stern rules. We are not going to outscore teams consistently. We need to continue to develop Maxiel as he does seem to have some quickness of foot on the defensive end and can be used in a situational way as Lindsay was today.
With Eric Snow being relegated to the bench... Nazr for Snow?
Throw Flip Murray in, too.
Snow = Hunter Webber and Davis are gone next year (not to mention really old). Trade Nazr and we have no centers on our roster. This type of move will require Cheick Samb moving into a McDonalds restaurant until training camp.
I still don't get why Flip can't wrap his head around the concept of bringing in the bench EARLIER. By the 4 minute mark in the 1st and 3rd quarters we should have 3 (at least 2) bench players in. That gives the bench enough time to get a rhythm, and if they mess it up, the starters have plenty of time to mop up the situation. Instead, he waits untill the 4th quarter, at which time he puts them in for 2 minutes (if that), and throws the starters back in because it's getting close to crunch time. It's frustrating to watch happen over and over.
I thought it was good use of the roster... Sheed was used as he should (inside then out)... Webb looking for the cutters... CB distributing AND getting inside... Delfino handling the ball more when matched up with Hunter. Of course everything is easier with the Cleveland swiss cheesers... but a nice sign non the less.... now can they do this in consecutive games? The player of the game IMO was Sheed... it was a flashback performance... no deragatory statements tonight... now please take note of how you can help this team and repeat. The efficient offense made it easier to get back on D to prevent easy buckets (a key against Bron). IMO, Big Z is very overated... watching him and Cwebb go at it was like a visit to the cement plant. Let's see what they do against an energy team now.
This is how you want to play on the road. Blowing everyone out by 20 points at halftime isn't realistic. Cleveland is not a great team, but they are clearly one of the more talented squads in the East. We kept it close and slowly pulled away in the second half. I'm very happy with the pace and style of this win. Not only are the Cavs copying the Pistons entire routine, but now the Pistons are in their heads. These guys are questioning if they can beat us, get past us. Champions instill fear on the road. Flip Saunders did a decent job tightening up the rotation for a game that does have value. Now lets see if he relaxes again as we face the tanking Celtics.
yeah, plus with all of the TV timeouts and longer regulat timeouts for national TV, the extra minutes aren't as big of a deal. the rip/webber combination continues to excel, and our offense hasn't felt as bogged down or as prone to droughts. delfino had a few mistakes but knocked down some key shots, and overall we played relaxed and focused the whole game, with excellent defense. it was a playoff-type win. i was surprised they treated lebron fairly, instead of giving him wade-like calls. and i'm also glad that varejao looked as bad as he really is, and even got called for the illegal screen he always sets. thankfully only one of his usual flops resulted in an offensive foul against us.
I see Snow as a real point guard, able to really run an offense. Not sure I can say the same about Hunter. Center depth next year could be a real problem, but Snow could rest CB, keep the team on the straight and narrow for 15 minutes a game, and put them one step closer to getting to the finals. Worry about next year next year.
Ok, I'll buy that approach.
One of the Cav's beat writers live blogged the game (think one man game chat). Cavaliers Blog: Cavs vs. Pistons The end comment is great... It's funny how high our expectations are for the Pistons. When we roll over a team on the road, their local media hangs their heads while we obsess over Carlos Delfino's minutes. Oh, how good we have it!
Finally King James kneels before his subjects.
About that illegal screen, they get thrown all the time. They are not illegal at all if the defender does not make an attempt to go thru the screen. Credit Delfino for alertly cutting thru that screen before it was set.
lee, what i mean about varejao is a little different. last year in the playoffs lebron would start the play at the top, and varejao would come to set a screen. that would normally be okay, but as the defender tried to fight through it, varejao would turn his body and pivot his feet in whatever direction the defender went. that is completely illegal and blatant. "Jason Maxiell may be the best two-handed dunker in the NBA after Shaq" i liked that comment in the blog
I sort of feel like he dunks with one-hand too much.
I was at Bron's comment as well. To me its him trying to cover up the fact that his team is no good. And as for the hated one, he was awesome yesterday; he made Ilgaulkas and Marshall his *****.

Matthews claimed almost 50 percent of Hispanics voted for Bush -- even after NBC revised number down to 40 percent
Research ››› ››› ANDREW SEIFTER
NBC and MSNBC host Chris Matthews ignored his own network's downward revision of President Bush's share of the Hispanic vote in the 2004 presidential election, falsely claiming: "The Hispanic community in this country, in this last election, voted almost 50-50, and that includes Cuban-Americans, people from Puerto Rico, people from Mexico and Latin America. Almost -- 44 percent, I believe." Matthews made the erroneous claim on the December 2 edition of MSNBC's Hardball.
Initial Election Day exit polls showed that Bush received 44 percent of the Hispanic vote and Senator John Kerry received 53 percent. But on December 2, well before Hardball went on the air, an NBC News elections manager announced that the initial exit polls significantly overestimated Bush's support among Hispanic voters. As Scripps Howard News Service reported December 2: "Revised figures show Bush received 40 percent of the Hispanic vote, not 44 percent." The William C. Velásquez Institute (WCVI), a nonpartisan, nonprofit research and policy think tank focusing on Latino issues, noted in a December 3 press release that NBC's revisions "increas[ed] challenger John Kerry's support among Hispanics to 58 percent from 53 percent."
But even the revised numbers may overestimate Bush's share of the Hispanic vote. According to exit polling conducted by WCVI, Kerry defeated Bush among Hispanics by a margin of 65.4 percent to 33 percent. WCVI issued a press release that quoted institute president, Antonio Gonzalez, as saying: "NBC stated that 70% of its respondents came from non-urban areas and 30% from urban areas, while acknowledging that 50% of Latino voters come from urban areas. This admission could explain the difference in their results and WCVI's. They under-represented Latino urban voters (who are more likely to vote [D]emocratic) and over-represented Latino non-urban votes (who are more likely to vote [R]epublican)."

Arsène Wenger believes that Everton are "serious" contenders for a top-four place this season.
The Gunners travel to Goodison Park on Wednesday night one point behind David Moyes' side in the table.
It is a major challenge for Wenger's side, but the manager believes a positive result could help them establish some momentum.
"They are always serious, Everton, because they can give anybody a game," he said. "I don't think any big team in the league goes to Everton and thinks it will be a walk out there.
"For us it's a vital game every year. They fight at the top of the league every year. They are one of the contenders for a Champions League spot as well.
"It is a period where we establish consistency. To go through with a positive result is very important.
"They have gone through a more difficult spell as well recently. It is just down to us and the quality of our performance."

Sounds like some good ideas. Please report back your results. My flats will come by the end of the week.
That was my thought as well, lawman. I plan on trying it this weekend. I'll let you know how it goes...
Sounds like some good ideas. Please report back your results. My flats will come by the end of the week.
I wonder if you could put a bar under the jig , say under the trigger hole, and the front part of the mag opening, run a bolt thru the holes to either go thru the bars, or thread them and use them to pull the flat down into the jig, at the very least it would put pressure on the flat so it would stay centered starting into the bending movement ?
This is the first jig that I have understood so I will have to make one----that means another kit, will it ever stop??????????????????
Guys -- Would it work to put a sine bar under the upper mandrell?
There is no nonsense so errant that it cannot be made the creed of the vast majority by adequate governmental action. -- Bertrand Russell
"Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity." Robert J. Hanlon
My friend beefed up the jig using 3" angle and made it longer so we could add a bolt past the front and back of the 1/4 inch bar stock to give more support to the front and rear of the flat. He also made a jig of angle iron to bend the rails first. Really added alot of stability during the bending process. He has a press and that helped alot! We did 3 last night that came out excellent.
Check it out!
Proof positive that need is the mother of invention. Kudos to you and your low buck bender your the man!!!!!!!!!
Thanks Mike, The credit must go to this board. This would not have happened without the ideas i got from the board.Originally Posted by Lt762x39
has anyone made a bending jig using the above method?
the reason i ask is because I used 4" x 3/8" angle iron (big fu#kin' stuff) in only supported it at the ends with (3) - 3/8" bolts on each side.
My first attempt at bending a flat showed evidence of the jig bowing in the middle causing the middle of the receiver to be slightly wider than the front and back closest to the bolts.
I have since added support 3/8" bolts throughout the jig (slightly below where the male die bottoms out) and have had perfect bends.
Just wondering if anyone is noticing bowing with thinner, smaller angle iron.
I'm in the process of making one of these jigs - when I'm finished, I'll let you know. I'm concidering making some triangular shaped peices and having them welded in the middle where you described the problem with bowing. Also, I believe that the original called for using 1/4" angle - the extra thicknes might make a diference. BTW, I like the 'Busa signature pic - I have a '01 with a little work done to it. Great minds think alike .
Pit BullOriginally Posted by Caspian45
I used 3/8 which is thicker than the plan on page one (1/4). That's why i had concerns of bowing. my stupid jig weighs 25-30 lbs. it's solid, but i can't sell it b/c i couldn't afford to ship the damn thing.Originally Posted by Pit Bull
I'll have to come clean. I'm a wannabe busa owner. i have a Bandit 1200 but want to step up to a busa once i get some bills paid off.

Limbaugh Dismisses Wal-Mart Worker Complaints
Rush Limbaugh attacked workers planning on striking this holiday season, claiming they're "never happy" and saying that he has "always been opposed to compromise with them." But the workers have valid concerns, including complaints of retaliation over requests for fair pay and affordable health care.
On his November 20 radio program, Limbaugh claimed plans to strike over the Thanksgiving holiday at places like Wal-Mart stores and Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) were evidence that "the damage to the private sector is under way." Limbaugh said workers should be happy that they "won the election" but went on to claim, "They're never happy, folks. The left never -- no matter what they win and no matter what you give them, it's never enough. It's why I've always been opposed to compromise with them":
But despite Limbaugh's attack, Wal-Mart workers have legitimate reasons to strike. The Washington Post reported [1] that because Wal-Mart's workforce is not unionized, the company has not been responsive to their employees' complaints:
The protesters are demanding more-predictable schedules, less-expensive health-care plans and minimum hourly pay of $13 with the option of working full-time. The average hourly full- time wage at Wal-Mart is $12.57, Kory Lundberg, a company spokesman, said in an e-mail.
Wal-Mart's refusal to improve working conditions ultimately will be self-defeating, Lynsey Kryzwick, a spokeswoman for the non-profit Making Change at Walmart, said in a Nov. 16 telephone interview.
CNN Money reported that workers have complained [2] that Wal-Mart retaliated against them for requesting fair pay and health care:
The union-backed group OUR Walmart expects thousands of workers to participate in the protest planned this week. The employees will ask the country's largest employer to end what they call retaliation against speaking out for better pay, fair schedules and affordable health care.
Such retaliation can include shuffling around their shifts, cutting hours and moving them around departments.
Meanwhile, a planned protest at LAX stems from an airport contractor terminating [3] union contracts and withdrawing health insurance for 400 employees earlier this year.

"The card turned out exactly as it appeared online. Additionally, the image that I uploaded for the back turned out very clear. Very impressed! Also, it came in adorable packaging!"
"The quality of these super cute, modern cards is superb. Go with the pearl paper, you won't regret. Fun size! I like to be a little different; these pleased! Shipped fast."
"Good, heavy quality cardstock. I chose the teal option and find it to be both professional and eye-catching - I wanted a card that would be easy to find if flipping through a rolodex, since I don't have a logo, and this is exactly what I was looking for."
"I used a photo I had taken and lightened for the backdrop - it's beautiful! I've tried doing this card on other sites, but either the photo quality was sub-par or I couldn't manipulate it the way I wanted. This goes all the way to the edge of the paper, which is what I wanted. I also love being able to do a little something in the back of the card. One wish: I'd like to be able to justify the writing to the bottom of the print space. I figured it out myself but for everyone who's super persnickety about spacing, it would be nice to have a way to do it automatically. Overall: I love these cards. Beautiful quality. Totally getting them from here again."
"It's a great personal card to give someone I meet that I want to keep in touch with, or have them contact me. In my opinion, it's much better then using traditional business cards."

We just finished a 350-cube Vortec that made 447HP for under $3,500 (including the engine core). That's going to be in the November 2006 issue.For our next project, what would you like to see?I am leaning towards doing something with a GM Performance Parts short-block, since a lot of people don't have the tools or skills to do machine shop work or bottom-end assembly. However, most people are quite capable of bolting on heads, stabbing in a cam, and screwing on an intake and carb in their garage.Right now I'm thinking about a 454 big-block, a 502 big-block or a 383 small-block. We'd pick and choose top-end stuff from other companies and try to stick within some budget.We've done so much small-block stuff that a big-block would be nice, but what do you guys think?
I like the idea of doing something besides a small block. It's been done to death.There are quite a few 454's out there, but it seems like I see many that surprisingly are built a lot stouter than they used to be, primarily high compression. Like 13.0 plus. Seems like it's a way to keep up with the bigger motors. To me that's pretty impractical unless it's a very short trip weekend toy.I've often recommended that folks should buy a 502 shortblock when they don't have access to machine shops or the skills to build one. I think a 502 that ended up with 10.5-11.0 compression along with a good set of heads would be fun. Hot Rod did well with the long stroke/short stroke engine tests....so we have an idea what 500" will make with 335 AFR heads. Let's use some different heads...Brodix as cast, Brodix CNC, Canfields.But to go to the next step, I usually always tell people that it's crazy to use a 502 when a 540 can be had for the same price. A 598 only costs a little more. Why not build one....it's been awhile since anyone did one? It would be a great "mule" motor to test heads and cams. Do all the same stuff you do with smallblocks. Intakes, heads, hyd flat, solid flat, hyd roller and solid rollers. There are over .700 lift hyd rollers these days that might be fun to test.I would like to see tests with Dart, Edelbrock Victor and Super Victors, the new Weiand Team G, maybe a huge Sonny's intake etc. Hey get a Hogans sheetmetal single carb one just for the heck of it.Then throw on a set of Big Duke or Big Chiefs and see what happens. Yes very extreme, but as folks move up you can pick up some very hardcore parts like this for decent prices. I'd love to see a set of the new "Big Brodix Ovals" tested on a big motor. Then mess it all up and see what the huge heads will do with a smaller .700 lift cam. All of this is feesible....Reher/Morrison sells kits to do it. Think of it as being along the lines of recent articles talking about buying used NASCAR motor parts and using them on the street. Even Comp Cams has a couple of NASCAR motors in detuned trim in their Power Tour cars. Let's do it with big blocks this time!I would also like to see one of the 572/720 crate motors taken apart and a full blueprint specs given as to what clearances GM used to pass all the stringent tests. Would also like to see what compression REALLY measures in it and to see some other heads tested on it. Also like to know if they used lifters with pressurized oiling to them, or what did they do to enhance life?I liked the FE motor from Engine Masters. It was cool to see it and there are quite a few FE folks out here.I have a buddy who just built a 383 using a GM crate shortblock, Dart iron heads, a GM Hot cam, 1.8 Crower rockers (20+ RWHP increase!) a modified Performer intake and cast iron rams horn manifolds. He uses it in his '67 Vette and it is designed to pass for a stock 327/350 and does a fantastic job of it. He owns his own chassis dyno and has tested lots of stuff. He is just over 400RWHP now through the manifolds and pipes. He has run a 12.15 with it so far in pure street trim. It will hit 11's soon. You would never know it to look at it.Hey, do the oil pump test maybe. Run it with a HV and a std pump and see how much HP difference there really is.Thanks,JIM
Why not a Big Block Ford (385 series)?There are more than a dozen heads available, a handful of intakes, and the stock blocks will go all the way to 572 cubes and 850+ hp with reliability.. The stroker kits don't even require grinding. Put together a nice 532 or 545 and swap HCI's.. (you can even test the use of dual pattern cams and where they are appropriate across the BBF head range) You could have the same 545 cube pump gas short block make from 550 hp with touched up D3 iron heads all the way to nearly 900 with a serious set of heads and a 6800 rpm limit.. Jim
I want to see a small block 454 to big block 454 comparison. Just for fun. I'm more interested in being entertained
That would be interesting.. how much to build a small block and big block to the same power level and displacement.Could compare the cost and the weight.At least I don't think it's been done before.
I'm pretty sure it has been done before, and they were both installed in a Nova to see real world track results.. (It was another magazine, and I don't think it was at the 454" level, but I can't recall exactly)It's all about potential, there are heads available to optimize a 454" SB engine, and the high flowing heads for a BB are lounging at those levels. Basically, a serious 454" SB has limited room to grow hp wise, but a 454" BB can go to 600" and have much more leeway in cyl head architecture for ports to carry those cubes. Engine Masters should be telling, I know there was talk of a couple big blocks being readied for the competition.Jim
Of course everyone can bolt on a set of heads, but to me, "out of the box" means boring. Bolting on a set of heads is not teaching you the true hot rodder's ways, and is more than likely leaving a lot on the table...I don't disagree with getting an assembled short-block, I know these days with the cost of machine work purchased short-blocks aren't a bad idea but if the short-block is going to be so basic, have the top-end get exotic.I would like to see probably a 11-12:1 pump gas, aluminum head big block chevy of around 454-500 C.I.D. I think we want to keep the cylinder heads and cam somewhat feasible so I wouldn't settle for 600+ C.I.D. spinning at 7000 rpm.I vote for getting a set of somewhat budget-minded cylinder heads with plenty of potential in them, take them to Vizard and have him work his magic porting them, give some in-depth descriptions of how it was done and then considering coatings...I would think a big block chevy with a huge open chamber would be a very good candidate for chamber and valve coatings. Hot Rod a while back did an article about applying the TechLine coatings but never followed up anything with it, since you have the Engine Master's using these coatings all over the place bring that technology to your other articles. If you think the TechLine coatings are not the way to go, send 'em off and hopefully still keep the price somewhat down. Maybe add a CNC-ported single plane and a good pressure recovery or anti-reversion spacer under a dominator and make a lot of horsepower and if possible keep the budget around 10,000-12,000.
We've covered so much exotic stuff in the Engine Masters Challenge that there has been a backlash on the newsstand. In the past year, we've covered cutting edge Mopar, Buick, Cadillac, Ford and Chevy big-blocks. These stories have examinded these engines in some depth.Building an engine from an existing crate short-block is more realistic I think. Even for guys who don't need a new short-block. The JEMC is a wonderful resource for the exotic and cutting edge stuff. I don't see a great need to duplicate these ideas in-house when most readers want to see what they can do with ordinary resources.Based on your level of interest in these things, you might want to pursue a JEMC entry of your own. Every year there are several "regular guys" who participate with various levels of help from local professionals. In 2004, our second-place finisher wasn't an engine builder and he picked up something like $30,000 in prize money.
The tools needed to apply Techline coatings are about as ordinary of a resources as their can be but I still see your point about not covering the same topics with PHR and JEMC...I guess my main concern & opinion is don't go and get a set of AFR heads and bolt them on, nothing is more over-done than something like that. At the least get a brand of cylinder somewhat unheard of so there is some new mainstream information on a set of heads, something like Carl Foltz's big chevy heads come to mind. I'm sure they won't be the cheapest, but don't make this motor the cheapest everyone knows horsepower costs money, if you're going to skimp and save on the time & labor on the top-end go with something a little out of the ordinary on the top, but still very functional for the average hot rodder.
What about a big-inch stroker LT1? There are a ton of fairly inexpensive "stroker kits" on eBay these days, it might be interesting to see how the quality of these things stack up against the price. I just bought the Grape of Wrath Camaro, if you guys are looking for a donor car for the story
Congrats on getting the '94 Camaro! I had a lot of fun in that car. The LT1 stroker kit is essentially a gen IIe, single-piece rear main seal SBC, so it's the same kit you'd buy for a Vortec truck motor. It's the top end of that motor that might not be so applicable to readers. Reverse-flow cooling, opti-spark and so forth...
So, I just found this forum, and I feel like being selfish I'm an import (honda) guy and buy your engine masters magazine every time a new one catches my eye. I work in a machine shop that deals primarily with chevy/ford/pontiac... v8 performance. It's only my boss(the owner) and myself there, and I've only been there for a little over a year. I've learned an immense ammount over the time I've been working there, and I'm very grateful to my boss. Anyway, my point is this. I've noticed a leading import drag racer reverting back to "older v8 tricks" in order to gain power in the range he's looking at. Carbs come to mind speaking about him. He's converted a fuel injected motor to run his webers, for the WOT atomization properties, as compared to injection. This is simply an example of some of the things I've seen. An idea you may or may not have thought about is to have a Honda motor gone through with the typical v8 tricks(not very costly for you at all, I'm sure, compared to some of these more extravagant motors you've got in the magazine). Coatings, simple headwork, larger bore, efficient intake and exhaust manifolds... The works. Whenever I buy the honda-oriented mags, I feel like screaming "partslappers!" They simply do not do the things you do in the way you do them. I think I remember you all doing a dart Honda buildup in the past, focused on making a huge amount of power, turbocharged, but these little motors are very capable of 9 second passes naturally aspirated as well. It may have been another mag, though. I've been tinkering with the older ('88-'00 sohc) honda blocks, including a semi-street performance oriented budget buildup at work. My goal was to spend about 1200 max on a motor that will pull a low 14 second pass @ about 95mph in the 1/4mile, and still enjoy 40mpg to and from the track in a fully equipped streetcar. I'll probably surpass this estimated mph, simply because the setup seems really matched. These may not be the best or highest horsepower motors out there, but there were thousands upon thousands produced between those two dates. Meaning there's many who would enjoy reading this article. Now, maybe I'm barking up the wrong tree, but I know you all could handle something like this. After all, I can drive to the importer and pick out one of the 20 1.6 liter sohc vtec blocks for about 350.00 for the complete shortblock core. Of course, lots of money would go into purchasing parts to develop some kind of power from this, but it's nothing like purchasing an aftermarket big block engine block! Wowzers!I know your readers are used to being drawn by covers like 1000hp easy to build big block, and 800hp small block, but there's a large community of performance oriented enthusiasts that would purchase an Engine Masters with a title like "Honda? And you thought they were for commuting...".(not that it should be a cover story, or anything Anyway, lots of exposure is possible with this type of buildup, and I think THAT is exactly what you are after. -josh-
PHR never did a Honda motor, but Hot Rod sure did and their readers crucified them for it. The important thing is that air and fuel don't care if a motor was built in America or Japan--the rules of physics are the same. If you're into engines, you'll be able to learn from Engine Masters no matter what brand you like.
It's always in the interest of low-budget readers, myself included, to build an inexpensive and relatively easy-to-obtain big block chevy from a pick-up or a Suburban.A prime example would be a 1970-1985 454 with a set of stock 4-bbl heads with no electronics, with the possible exception of a GM HEI. These motors are prime considerations to take any muscle car to the next level without spending $5-10K on just a motor.Keep up the great work,gmbbmc(general motors big block musclecar)
I was kind of leaning that way too. We could pick up a good core for maybe $300 - $400, freshen it with rings and bearings, put a cam in it, put a Weiand Team G intake on, maybe a Holley 750, and a new HEI. The heads would be the interesting thing. Stock ones would need fresh valvesprings, valve guides, valve job and maybe milling. You'd have a lot into them--and for a couple hundred more bucks you could have something decent, like a set of Iron Eagle Dart heads. I figure for $200 - $300 extra, you'd pick up an extra 30 - 40 HP with some iron aftermarket heads. Even with heads, this motor could be done for less than $5,000 and put out 550 - 600 HP easily.

I got a leaflet about this in the box with my apex2. Probobly going to atleast one event this year! Fingers crossed!
Awesome. I believe there are still some tickets for D10 so maybe grab one while they last. Though it must be known that one of the big hotels in the area (travel lodge) is porbably fully booked up (when I booked my room they apparently only had 5 left for that weekend) so it could be difficult finding a room.

San Francisco SPCA to Offer Free Spay/Neuter Procedures throughout February 2011 [1]Date:
Today, the San Francisco SPCA announced that it will offer free spay and neuter surgeries for cats and dogs of San Francisco residents throughout the month of February 2011. Coinciding with national "Spay/Neuter Month," this marks one of the SF SPCA's largest investments of time and resources in the animal welfare community to date. During February, pet owners can schedule appointments with the SF SPCA's Spay/Neuter Clinic [2] and receive the procedure for free.
"Overpopulation is the number one killer of cats and dogs in America. Spaying and neutering pets is vital for reducing the number of stray and homeless animals in the city," said Jennifer Scarlett, D.V.M., co-president of the SF SPCA. "This investment by the SF SPCA is indicative of our strong belief in using preventative practices to reduce overpopulation and the resulting strains on the community's animal shelters. We hope our efforts will encourage pet guardians across the city to make the responsible choice in having their pet spayed or neutered. If you want San Francisco to be a No-Kill city, the most important thing you can do is to spay or neuter your pet."
The SF SPCA expects to accommodate more than 550 free spay/neuter procedures during the month of February, and appointments will be scheduled on a first-come, first-served basis.
The state-of-the art SF SPCA Spay/Neuter clinic is part of the Leanne B. Roberts Animal Care Center, which opened in 2008. The clinic is on track to perform 9,000 spay/neuter surgeries this year and has helped lower the number of cats and dogs in San Francisco shelters by more than half since 1985. Spay and neuter procedures contribute to the overall health of animals, decrease overpopulation and save both the city and its residents the costs and repercussions of unwanted litters. The SF SPCA would not be able to make this offer available to the public without the generosity of its donors and the profits generated by the SF SPCA Veterinary Hospital at the Leanne B. Roberts Animal Care Center.
For San Francisco residents interested in scheduling a spay or neuter appointment for their pet in February 2011 or to learn about terms and conditions of this offer, please call 415-554-3030 or visit www.sfspca.org/fix [3]. To learn more about the SF SPCA and Spay/Neuter Month, please visit www.sfspca.org [4].

My uneducated theory of MB and Finshy's posts is that we should try to come up with a Varroa resistant queen and then put her on small cell foundation :)
Get all that out of the way. Then you have the "domestic" bees that got away. As M. Bush points out, it takes a while to regress down. So those that were not fully regressed were easy targets. .
Consider the small cell ideas as an experiment that may prove to be valid and maybe not.
The reason they say that it's not for beginners is because they don't want to put the instructions up there for regressing the bees. If you want to do small cell foundation, then get yourself a package of small cell bees to go with it.This is an example of the blind leading the blind. Ask Housel in florida, he bought "small bees" from the small cell guru and the florida authorities pointed out that they were african bees (the original small bees). They "depopulated" the hives. The whole small cell thing is a fantasy. there is no such thing as regression, since the european bees were never that small and the african bees have always been that size. 4,9 foundation is perfect for them, that's what the sell IN AFRICAder bee meister
My question- in your opinion other than producing less honey is there any reason not to go with small cell and are there any problems you know of that are a result of small cell?
ME:ME: Read it again. arizona. small cell bees from arizona were shipped to florida and california. they test positive for african, according to florida authorities. they are killing them
ME:the cell size of european and african bees are different. wings too. these were used to identify these types as the africans invaded south and central america. (Spivak) the african bees build the smaller cells, so a natural swarm can be identified by measuring cells size. smaller than 5, probably african. larger than 5mm, probably euro. there are hybrids, at least at first. feral colonies in texas, arizona, calif, and now florida are assumed to be african. now they generally use wing length, africans have shorter length wings. if the wings are longer than 9 mm no need to test further. deliberately raising small bees obscures the inherent difference. I am not making this up. der bee meister

I sent it, have you not got it?
I don't think hotmail is case sensitive, but lower case will work for sure.
Some zombie video, bring on the pig!
Iddee, you now have itQuote from: JP on February 26, 2009, 11:36:56 PMSome zombie video, bring on the pig!You were the pig.... to see if it worked. Did you like it? Do you like tear jerkers? I got one that will make you all misty eyed.
Is there no more brave souls out there? I was really hoping for some constrictive criticism. An idea I had was possibly some group participation. I would like to put action into these things instead of still pictures. I can post some ideas of scenes I need for some of the vidz I want to make and anyone that wants to create those scenes can do so and send them to me to be put into the video. Surely there are some of you that would like to direct a picture? And anyone with ideas of a video can tell me what they would like and we could do that. Might be fun.
