Jeremy Jacquot | March 5, 2009
By Jeremy Jacquot • Thursday, March 5, 2009 - 12:24
To say that climate know-nothings like to pick and choose when it comes to interpreting the science is something of an understatement.
"Prominent" – and I use the term loosely here – deniers like Dennis Avery, S. Fred Singer and Michael Asher have made a cottage industry of playing loose with the numbers and extrapolating short-term trends to make sweeping statements about global warming (see: one unusually cold month means global warming is over).
Which is why I have a feeling this study (sub. required), entitled "Has the climate recently shifted?" (which will be published in an upcoming issue of the journal Geophysical Research Letters), will catch many a denier's eye. The main takeaway from this study is that there is a significant degree of variability in our climate system, and that, even though we may be entering a period of warming "stasis," long-term trends still point to significant warming due to anthropogenic forcing.
According to the authors, Kyle L. Swanson and Anastasios A. Tsonis of the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, the climate seems to have come to a point where two important modes of variability – the Northern Hemispheric atmospheric and oceanic modes, to be exact – have synchronized, or become coupled. This, they say, results in the climate system being "thrown into a new state," which will likely be marked by a flattening of the global average temperature trend.
How could a modal synchronization precipitate such a dramatic shift in the climate system?
The reason, Swanson and Tsonis explain, is that the climate system becomes much more sensitive to the possibility of a shift when these important modes of variability align. When coupling between the two increases, the climate system is destabilized and a new and different state emerges – this is what climate scientists refer to as the "theory of synchronized chaos."
The authors provide a helpful analogy to illustrate how this theory works:
Because such couplings have coincided with all the major climate shifts of the last century, they believe that the latest synchronization of the two modes, which occurred in 2001/02, indicates a temporary break in the consistent warming trend of the last three decades. (A multidecadal period of cooling had preceded the last coupling, which happened in 1976/77.)
They recognize, though, that the high degree of variability inherent to the climate system makes any prediction difficult and speculative, at best. Indeed, they attribute the recent period of cooling to an internal shift of climate processes, which they say remains poorly understood, and note that slight changes in how the oceans and atmosphere absorb and radiate heat could have influenced other short-term trends.
The high degree of uncertainty inherent to climate modeling itself makes this study, like the many that preceded it, thought-provoking but by no means conclusive – something the authors readily acknowledge in their conclusion: "Of course, it is purely speculative to presume that the global mean temperature will remain near current levels for such an extended period of time."
The rest of the section should be required reading for those who will undoubtedly use the authors' hypothesis to support their erroneous views. Here are a few key passages:
"Moreover, we caution that the shifts described here are presumably superimposed upon a long term warming trend due to anthropogenic forcing."
This last passage is crucial:
To deniers, who will ignore the authors' caveats, this study will seem like manna from heaven; to the rest of us, this will just serve as another reminder of how bad things could become.

Nice work, Jeremy! I wish
Nice work, Jeremy! I wish the denier crowd would understand that the relative cooler temperatures of the past couple of years are the result of a La Nina episode and not a sign of "global cooling." If they don't realize this (or at least refuse to), it is a sign that people must tune them out and listen to actual scientists, not PR hacks like Marc Morano, Dennis Avery, and the like.
Keep up the good work!

This is such a great site…I'm really finding it useful being able to educate myself about the facts surrounding global warming. You hear so many conflicting viewpoints, it's hard to know who to believe.
what large supermarket
what large supermarket chains would have you think, you can start saving on food expenses and not have to worry about payday loans to keep you and your family fed. First off, you never want to shop when you're hungry, as you will likely up your discretionary spending. Rochville University
Nice Article
Nice article very informative indeed.
Saving on Food
It is said that promoting green foods like veggies are good for global warming. so i guess let's try plant veggies and fruits to save some penny and save our environment. Food is the one of the essential things that man needs. Saving on food in times of recession is much easier than you think. In similar to what large supermarket chains would have you think, you can start saving on food expenses and not have to worry about payday loans to keep you and your family fed. First off, you never want to shop when you're hungry, as you will likely up your discretionary spending. Second, it helps to cook from scratch instead of buying prepackaged food. It tastes better, its better for you, and it can be cheaper. Freeze leftovers for a later date, and if it comes down to it, eat less unnecessary foods like snacks and soda. You save at least extra hundred bucks a year if you start saving on food actively. Believe me once you start doing this surely you'll never afraid getting starve in the future.
Climate Change
climate changes really effect the present life…climate shift causes sever changes..

as in my last post was blank or you are just putting in a blank post. anyway here is my last post.
ok man i have abother question for you real quick. what do you guys do for medical. i am sure that your insurance requires that there be medical personel present. i am just wondering what you guys do for this.
And i have a little update. I took your advice and called my regions regional executive. that was a good idea cause he was very helpful and very willing to help me in any way that he could. Im very happy about this and really starting to believe that i can get this done.

|ok man i have abother question for you real quick. what do you guys do for medical. i am sure that your insurance requires that there be medical personel present. i am just wondering what you guys do for this.
|Cool thanks man. ill start looking into the insurance thing. I was thinking that once i had some good info i would talk to one of the elders. run it by them and have them bring it up to the rest of the elders or have me talk to them about it. I will remember the thing about the church insurance. There are no car clubs in town. That i know of. There are none online and i have never heard of any. so as for event insurance through them i really dont think that is going to be an option for me. thanks for your help man.
For insurance, one of the guys that helps us has event insurance for his car club. Thats what we use.
Talk with several agents about it and find the best prices, I just found another at half the cost if we need to get insurance. Make sure they know its event insurance and a racing event.
As far as the church parking lot, make sure their insurance doesn't have any stipulations above and beyond the event insurance. The church elders may also have requirements.
We are going to be running once a month come next spring.
your first step should be contacting local clubs,a little help goes a long way and they may also give you some ideas. The scca would also be a good starting point.
|no body has any info for me that could help. Come on guys i would really like to do this but i need some help. thanks.
|^^^^^^^ that is kind of what i am looking at doing. I would love to start something like that. The Church that i go to just put in a new parking lot and it is by far the largest parking lot in town. I want to figure alot of things out before i even mention it to them so that i can answer any questions that they ask. ^^^ How often do you guys run, like once a month, twice a month? Who do you have the insurance through? do you and your friend handle that personally or go through one of the clubs in you city? I am thinking of giving the SCCA regional managers a call to see what they can do for me. Wow guys thank you for the info it is a great help.
last one was 25, the one before was 42. We say 3 runs for sure, but it usually ends up being 6 plus if they want to. You have to realize this town is only 25k people (on a good day). With more money, expensive cars, than brains.
One of our club members is a ferari collector ( has a 64 fully race documented and factory rebody to a coupe in 69. Nothing like the sound of 12 race tuned cylinders).
Ours is kept on more of a fun platform with nothing more than bragging rights. Everyone just enjoys coming out and throttling the piss out of them.
Keeps everything way less of a headache for us.
Hell, the top time was a 41:09 from a built wrx, and here I was tricycling the 07 sedan around the corners to a best of 44:05...lol
It's all in fun and everyone helps with the work
Wow ... only 25 cars ... makes a quick AutoX session.
We see 200+ at the autoX here in houston. Long days and waiting time to run.
It's not hard and if you keep it grass roots to begin with will stay that way.
A friend and I started it where I live. First is to locate a lot, usually a city owned is the best to start out with as buisnesses require alot of hoops to jump through.
Here we use a lot at the softball complex and got with the city street department who loans us the needed cones (after securing the lot use from the parks department).
The hardest part was the event insurance which runs about 400 per day for 1 mil coverage (some cities have or will donate this the first time. Or get with local car clubs who also have this type of insurance for shows).
You will also need disclaimer forms, etc.
Also realize a persons car insurance does not cover them in racing events, they are on their own if they turn turtle.
ours is total word of mouth and we still have 25 or more cars show up. best free advertising.

I like this book, but it does have issues in formatting and accuracy.
I have been through the book, line by line, many times. You have to use caution because there are random pages where the columns are mixed. For instance, the location of the sodium column is different on various pages. In addition, there are pages where the information under the sodium and cholestrol are switched - again, I think because of the columns.
To make this book more usable it would be great to have the sugar information listed. but I realize there is only so much information that you can list on pages this size.
It is one of the newer books out with this information. I wish they had included information for more mainline restaurants. Also, the index in the back of the book is very limited.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Great story! The gsds I had loved those crisp cold days too! That's one of the things I loved about having 2, their play and running together just enjoying life the shepherd way!
|Oh, I'm no spring chicken. I loathe cold weather, I'd rather have my shoes off with my feet dangling in the water with a fishing pole in hand. It's just I was so enthralled by the mutts being mutts the weather conditions just took a back seat. Cold does things to my joints and prevents me from doing my favorite things(fishing, riding enduro motocross, shooting sports) in complete comfort. Gimmie mid 50s in the mornings and evenings and mid 70s during the day and I'm happy as a lark.
|I loved this post--being undoubtedly much older than you, my stamina outside in single digit weather with 20 mph winds is way, way less then yours, less than mine used to be... But for 20-30 minutes, I experienced much the same emotions, watching the two of mine run all out, just to run, such beauty, then a growl here and there, then taking off like a pair of horses in tandem until Jade cuts through the center of the field to gain the lead, him putting on a burst of speed to catch up with her... Then I began to worry about their lungs (and mine) and we went inside. Watching them was a gift, but I have spent too many Michigan winters keeping water troughs open for horses, hauling feed through snow, working young horses in an indoor arena that seemed colder than it was outside, trying to cool off and dry a steaming horse after a winter workout...have too many old injuries, hands too stiff in this weather... Sorry, but I am SO looking forward to spring! It's supposed to go up to 27 f tomorrow, and I can hardly wait!
They do play rough huh?
I was out in my backyard for a good long while today, 8 degrees with a torch in my hand thawing out my well-head. Good snow covering, plenty of sunshine. Felt amazing really, was warm due to black clothing. Dogs were running around, sniffing my equipment, just enjoying their black coats and nippy ambient air.
Something set them off, dunno what but they began to play. Hard play, head down full pumping runs back and forth, much growling and chatter.Then the jumping and chest bashing and chase/roll/wrestle. Went on for a long time while I kneeled down with a torch. Killed me to sit there and watch them go berserk and not join in, but having water kinda trumps frolicking in the snow.
What I noticed:
Cable(3-ish y/o male) was toying with Allie(female, almost a year now). Allie has him on cut and run for a few strides, but Cable is a PREDATOR. He's an adult and his mind is lightening fast, he anticipated and tracked, setting the poor girl up for some massive rolls. He's lean and cut and has explosive acceleration linearly. He can't switch direction quite like Allie can and has nothing like her ability to jump. If Allie kept the speeds down, she could dance around him and avoid the turf, the second she vectored Cable was on her with the quickness. Cable's closure angles were spot on, I also noticed he has a penchant for using obstacles(trees, bushes) to narrow the preys choices of escape. Wolves must be eerie to watch with their undiluted predator skills.
I was getting a bit worried that Cable was going to click over into real predator mode, Allie was being such a good little prey item. However the tables turned and Allie became the hunter. I didn't catch the que, or see anything that established her as the chaser. Yet, she started chasing and Cable duly ran from her. That game was a lot more chasing and way less contact, Cable stuck to his strong points of muscling the speed and minimizing the turns, Allie misjudged the intercept angles just enough for him to slide by(or she was intentionally blowing the skin/skin vector). But OH MY WORD can that girl jump. Seemingly effortless 4+ foot vertical(bottom of outstretched feet) leaps, compact landings wherein she angled off at acute angles. In tight she is well nigh uncatchable. Her moves reminded me of my Mal. If Allie stays small(she is mid 40s now) she might be a candidate for agility, she sure has the aptitude for it.
I was out there for a couple of hours. Once I had thawed the well-head I began running conduit for a heat lamp and new well cover. I was busy, staying moving so I didn't get cold. The dogs wanted to play and play and play and play. Sunny and single digits makes GSDs frisky beyond belief. I didn't want to get my hands wet with snow as I was handling a butane torch for connection, so fetch was out. So I began kicking snow at them. Great game. They began bombing runs on me, wide angle swooping attacks. If I timed it right they would get a snoot full of snow, take a fall and roll around in the snow. They made up the game. It had rules. These dogs amaze me.
In the time I was out there, possibly 1.5 to two hours the mutts were moving around in a high-cardio state for at least 50% of the time. My work took longer as I was splitting my concentration between the dogs and work. I was sorta sad when the work was done, as it meant bedtime for me but I wanted to stay out there in the bitter cold and watch my dogs just be dogs. Unfettered and no stress, just reveling in the great play weather. So I sat down(gore-tex pants for the win) and watched for awhile. When the dogs saw me just sitting there they came over, gave me hello nose bumps and curled up next to me. I'm not an overly emotional person by any stretch, but it almost made tears come to my eyes. Sitting in the snow in single digit weather wishing it could be like that all the time and it was because of two dogs. Says something eh?

I have been teaching a Business English student and I need to prepare a 3 page end-of-course report. This is the first time I have done it, and I'm not sure if there is a standard format to follow.
I'm looking for advice on how the report should be laid out, and what I should include.
The course ran for a total of 40 1.5 hour classes. We worked on general conversation for the first 45 minutes, using topic sheets and news articles. The rationale was that the student has little opportunity to speak English at work.
Th second 45 minutes was spent on general grammar, phonetics, and writing skills, looking at form and layout of various business communications. The student completed mock correspondance, which I would then comment on using word (highlighting errors and the kind of error). The student would then read the comments and correct their own work.
A link to a template would be greatly appreciated

"Once upon a time, there lived a handsome prince and a lovely maiden They traveled the countryside searching for magic. By happenstance, they arrived at a palace called Stillman Inn. They were greeted by Dave the gatekeeper who promised to create pleasant moments and lasting memories. Dave (the wizard that he was) used his clicky pen to magically change the matron from her lowly existence as Mary to a lovely laughing creature dubbed "Emilee". Hearts, bells, dreams and the occasional unicorn filled the minds of the prince and "Emilee" during their stay at Stillman Castle. Thank you so much." Rick & Mary – hailing from Wisconsin Dells

Senator James Webb, D-Va, has been fighting to obtain a new version of the G.I. Bill of Rights for veterans of fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan without any active support from the Bush administration. He wants adaptation of the post WWII bill that provided free tuition, payments for books, and living stipend. That version of veteran benefits played an hisoric role in transforming American society by educating millions. Senator Webb told Defense Secretary Robert Gates, he would like to get the bill passed this year" We've been working on it for a year. We've been trying to get the other side to understand that this is not a political issue." Republican Senator John Warner reached over and announced to his comrade from Virginia that he would support such a bill.
Democat Senator Levin asked Gates to at least provide the Pentagon's view and respond to the request for a new version of veteran benefits. President Bush loves making speeches condemning Democratic opponents of failing to "support our fighting men" but he is surprisingly quiet when it comes to paying for those servicemen. He opposed the 3.5% pay raise put forth by Democratic leadership as "excessive" and he initially refused to go along with expanding mental health efforts. The Republican party is verbally a great supporter of our fighting men and women, but when it comes to paying out money the Bush administration has never seen a tax cut for the wealthy that is not worthy of support. As for servicemen, they will receive words, not dollars.

|OP You have gotten the good the bad and the ugly. You say you have 10 acres available for your dogs. Nice. At your age the world is your oyster. You want to be a breeder, go ahead, do it right, really right. You can only learn by trying. In the long run it is your call. If you should find that breeding is not for you there is another avenue that is just as rewarding and fulfilling, plenty of work and truly needed everywhere all the time forever. I would suggest you think about rescue. Not only do you get a buddy but you just may find that special service dog.
|I'll tell you straight out that a service dog organization is not going to take your puppies from un tested un proven parents.
Carmen, that's both thought provoking info & some very good questions.
G&Arabella, over the years I've had numerous friends that bred their dogs...Some saw easy money. Others had oops litters. ONE planned on breeding (& took 10 yrs preparing for her 1st litter)
Most of them literally couldn't give me a dog. Nor could they find the necessary takers from other friends, neighbors, colleagues & family members. The pups went to the shelter. In littter upon litter there were literally just a couple that found homes. It's impossible to know how successful the homes were b/c beyond promising to provide good homes nothing more was ever known of any of the people. Nor were the litter owners about to check & possibly mess up the 1 or 2 homes they managed to find.
Breeding is really much tougher than it appears. Even doing it very, very badly usually involves more money & effort than people expect. I don't breed & I've never regretted that decision.
this is a really bad idea "I have house on 10 acres that was passed down to me, so the majority of the litter would stay with me. "
and would they all need to recreate to feel self fulfilled.
chances are high that the needs demand would be overwhelming . How are you going to have well socialized , dogs with individual attention and training , especially if you have a litter of 8 or more .
8 young demanding dogs . Chances are they will turn into a little gone-wild dog oriented pack. Chances are none of them will develop to the best of their potential . Conflict , competition .
"I want to take 3 out of the litter and put them through a service dog course, I know there is a high wash out rate "
The wash out rate will be high or higher , maybe 100% UNLESS the breeding is done with knowledge of the pedigree, the breeding partner, selection, proper raising and socialization and training .
What makes the female a good candidate to produce service dogs. Have you had experience training ? Has the dog been evaluated for work through training and having her temperament assessed .
so curious about the pedigree , if you want to post it ?
you may be okay with them washing out , but what next . Any institute which is going to certify them doesn't want their time wasted .
|I thought that they had to be 2-years before they can have hips certified. You would at least want to wait for that. If some of the pups work as therapy dogs they would be useless if they develop hip problems....
But if you keep 3 you'll want them to have at least one litter as well, won't you?
I know many people, especially from Dad's generation & earlier, that thought females should have a litter prior to being spayed. They were mistaken.
IF you want to breed then you're in it (or should be, imo) for more than 1 litter. That requires years of hard work & careful preparation to do it right. You need to be certain you have solid breeding stock, that the bitch & stud are well matched, that you are clear on your breeding goals & how you will attain them. It's advisable to have an experienced breeder who you're simpatico with mentoring you, as well.
There are health adavantages to allowing the dogs to mature prior to speuter surgery. The benefits seem to be more pronounced for males than females. Spaying prior to the 1st heat does offer bitches the very real advantage of an almost non-existent incidence of breast cancer. I'm honestly undecided as to whether this advantage outweighs the drawbacks. It's just not as clear with the females from all that I've read.
She's still very young. Please don't rule out the possibility of not breeding her regardless of whether or not you keep her intact. I know that ultimately uou want to do what is best for your girl. Please study on it a great deal more before making an irrevocable & potentially tragic mistake.
"Evaluated"....for what and by whom?
Having a litter doesn't help organs fully develop (it can do a number on organs if there are problems with the pregnancy or delivery). Leaving a dog intact will, but that does not mean you have to actually breed the dog. By all means, leave her intact for now so she can fully mature. At THAT time, decided whether she is breedworthy. At 6 months, it's a crapshoot. She's not old enough for any hip or elbow certs, titles, can't do a BH or AD, a show rating at this age would not count toward a breed survey. You can do a DM test and evaluate based on the pedigree but that's about it at this age.
I'm a 21 year old male, and I was raised around all kinds of dogs. My Grandfather would tell me every time we had a new puppy or dog to always let them have one litter for 2 reasons, the first being that it helps the dog psychologically, and the second that it allows the dogs internals to grow and fully develop.
Now obviously from most of the rude comments and everything else going on here what I was taught while growing up wasn't 100% accurate. I have never had a female die on me during birth or have any complications during any stage of the pregnancy, I have lost a few puppies but that is natural. It sucks, but it is completely natural.
Yes this is the 6 month old we are talking about and I do not plan on letting her have a litter until she is a year and half. That being said I do plan on getting her evaluated and making sure she is ok to have pups when that time draws near. There would be no issues as to where the puppies would go, I have house on 10 acres that was passed down to me, so the majority of the litter would stay with me. I want to take 3 out of the litter and put them through a service dog course, I know there is a high wash out rate and I am completely ok with it, but at least I know I tried. If all else fails I could go apply to get a service dog for my sisters instead of having one that they have been around since it was born.
Some of the comments on this thread are rude and add nothingof value to the conversation; lets be polite folks.
"The OP already stated she was going to spay, but I always love your ridiculous comments. Two of my three are intact. "
"Yikes. I can only imagine how you feel about the reproductive rights of human women"
Here we go again
Are you serious

I recieved a 469 from my grandpa its a great gun but i dont like the smooth hammer. Is there any way to put a spured hammer (i think its called) on it?
S&W parts only list the spurless hammer for the Model 469. If you do find one it will most likely have to be aftermarket manufacture.
I highly doubt it, and I personally would leave it alone.
the 469 was designed for concealed carry, hence the spurless hammer. that said it was also the 59 platform that the 459 and 5906 are based on, so those spurred hammers should drop in (key word SHOULD) i have never done the conversion, but the profiles look right and if it were my gun, and i wanted to tinker, i would try it. but hey, thats just me.
oh, and just in case you havent thought this completely thru, your 469 has a short tang, so when you install your spurred hammer, its my bet that the first shot fired draws blood.... its called hammer bite!
Yes,this was the "sub compact" model.The rear end is bobbed off so it doesn't poke you carrying it in deep cover positions.If you don't like it,throw it in the safe if there is sentimental value,otherwise sell it for whatever.The 5900 series isn't much larger,same gun.I had the generic version when the 915 came out and it was smoother in the lockwork than the expensive 5900 series.That was probably the smallest handgun I owned until you hit 380s,but I took a few matches with it.Not my normal cup of tea,but it was a damn good shooter.The 3 digit series you have is the first generation,if it's nice keep it.Most of the 4 and 559s I handled lacked what the second generation 4 digits were like.
thanks for all the info. think i will just leave it as is and put it up. use my sigma for my carry cause its not as heavy.

I love that show , Angela is a real b..ch and I only hope she get it when Jamie comes out
This was a good episode. @AgentSpy, everyone already knew that some this season The Doctor will regenerate, and while reading the synopsis for the season, I recall reading that its the christmas special episode, so yes he will regenerate, but later then it shows us here
Well, this was a good episode
Best aussie show on TV now
GR8 EP! But the Masters surprise turnup was downplayed disappointedly even tho reminiscent of the Masters 1st appearance as Professor YANA as the Doctor turned up on a world he was on unknowingly & Master tried to kill em all...now hes creating Cybermen MONDASANs no less? when was this supposed to happen? Now MISSY has MAJOR LEAGUE CROSSED HER/HIS TIMELINE! By the way, Why did she not remember being the Master here& how changed can she be switching sides SO FAST then again it could be a trick. oh by the way, SPOILERS! but U knew that cause ya had to hit the link to read all this&If your STILL reading...kudos????????
Once again, Bill opens her big fat mouth and bad shit happens. She's always fucking stuff up. I can't stand this companion. When a guy is waving a gun around asking who the human is, shut the fuck up! Don't go telling him you're the human but nooo what does Bill do? I'm the human, I'm the human. Now all this bad shit happens and it's probably what causes the Doctor to regenerate. Of course, he's going to end up apologizing to her even though it's all her fault. Stupid bitch. And yes, I do understand that it's just a tv show.
Amazing show! She is hilarious. You love great political satire- watch this show!

this isn't ep 12 it's ep 4
The name of this tv show is Mars not Missions

No-one is suggesting that the programme is 'realistic' - that could hardly be described as the purpose of most SciFi TV series - but it does hold one intrigued from the beginning of the first series to the end of the last to find out how, if at all, everything is going to work out. The 'prophecies' of Nostradamus add a novel twist to everything and since imitation is the sincerest form of flattery I should imagine that Nostradamus would feel well flattered indeed by this programme and the only somersaults he will be turning in his grave will be one's of delight. I would suggest that this programme be accepted for what it is and that one should not expect it to be deeply meaningful or anything else that it does not purport to be. It is well acted and directed throughout and I would recommend it unreservedly.
Wow, some of you cut the video off over 10 minutes before it ended! Nice to know you double check before you upload. It amuses me that a couple complaining about spammers are in the ones who don't have the full video. As for the episode, Thank you sswarlock for actually having the full episode!! :)

THIS IS THE LINK TO THE WEBSITE http://www.primewire.ag/
Turning invisible had always been a bit of a childish fantasy of mine and I was excited to see how they would work out the show. It turned it to be a superb job. The cast, especially Darian is great doing exceptional dark and sarcastic humor. Also, the narration by the main character sums up things quite well. The writers have out- done themselves by not creating a show simply about the ability but other things as well such as government conspiracy as well as sometimes romantic sub- plots. The show feels real, and instead of resorting to a cheap unbelievable gimmick for the protagonist to survive, it still stays true to realism. One other great thing is the special effects, once Darian turns invisible he has black and white vision but it's extremely cool to see things through his eyes. In some ways, it looks like the alien's vision from the 1998 movie "Pitch Black". Some minor flaws include too boring episodes or episodes that simply repeat, but everything else is exceptional.

Need help with first 383 build
Hi everyone. I'm new to these forums, I hope I'm not out of place. I will be swapping a bigger engine into my 92 Firebird. I have a chevy 350( 1 piece RMS, non roller, I'm pretty sure 87-up) block, making it a 383 stroker. I have all the stock parts that came off of it, but don't plan on using any of the parts I pulled off. When I take the block to be cleaned and all, I'm going to have them bore it to 4.030" and hone it out. I'm trying to get 400 hp out of this build. I plan on hooking up a T56 6spd and 3.73 posi rear to this engine. I've been talking to some people about parts to buy, but would like to get some second opinions and more help.
Right now, I have a lunati 60103 cam and the lifters that cam with the 60103LK kit and a holley 4150 double pumper 650 cfm mechanical secondary carb. But I'm still figuring the rest of my build.
What I plan on getting:
Heads: Modified vortechs, assembled to handle .600 lift. 64 cc http://sdparts.com/details/scoggin-d...nter/sd8060ra2
Intake: Edelbrock performer rpm air gap http://www.summitracing.com/parts/EDL-7516/
Pistons: Probe 12344-030 forged dish, compression dist 1.425", +20.40cc http://www.summitracing.com/parts/PBP-12344-030/
Connect rods: SCAT 5.7" i-beam rods http://www.summitracing.com/parts/SCA-25700P/
Crankshaft: SCAT 9000 series, 3.750" stroke http://www.summitracing.com/parts/SCA-935050L/
I also plan on zero decking this, getting a CR of 9.45:1 with head gasket thickness of .040". Just wanted to get as many opinions and/or advice as I could.
EDIT: Cam: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/LUN-60103LK/
Carb: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/HLY-0-4777C/
Do a search here for 383 build, there is a kazillion of them and tons of information.
skip the probe piston and just buy this kit:
i ran a similar rotating assembly up to 6500rpm and made over 500hp with it and never had any issues.
i would strongly suggest going with a hyd roller instead of the flat tappet cam. if you bought it from summit then i would bet that they would take the cam back and credit you toward the hyd roller cam. besides budget, there is pretty much no reason to go with a flat tappet cam anymore. you spend about $300.00 more for the roller valve train but yet you get considerable more power and longevity.
i personally would also ditch the 650 double pumper, it doesn't sound as if you will be using this more as a race car, so there is no real point in the mechanical secondaries. i would suggest getting a holley 3310 750 vac secondary carb.
what 87z said I kind of agree.What you have there will easily make 400 hp.I like double pump holleys and like roller cams.
i personally like double pumpers as well, but only if the vehicle is being built to do some racing too, if it is being built for mainly the street then the vac secondary carbs will save gas and are just more street friendly.
the block doesn't have to machined for a roller cam, they make retro-fit roller cams for these blocks, typically the only adjustments that are needed to be made are in the cam button/timing cover area.
yes you can absoutley use the 650DP on the street, I like the DP's. I just recomend the vaccum secondary carb because it will be easier to maintain for street use. I use a modified 750 double pumper on my street/strip car.
Those Vortec heads typically are cast with 66-68cc combustion chambers. You are very unlikely to get a set with a true 64cc size. You will need to verify this with modeling clay or a burette. Assuming you go with those 20.40cc pistons, that mean your static CR is going to be 9.1-9.2:1. You could send the heads to a machine shop and they can deck them a little to reduce chamber size, but it is probably easier and just as cheap to get some different pistons from the get go. The 18cc pistons in the kit as suggested by my87Z would get to you to 9.3-9.4:1. Are you trying to run on 87 octane? With a nice tight quench from that zero deck and .040" head gasket, you can get more compression with less timing advance and detonation (thus be able to use lower octane).
I think you should probably bump that CR up a little bit to match the cam, and also more compression = more power: http://www.crankshaftcoalition.com/w..._compatibility
In my estimation with your setup on that low 9ish:1 compression you should be knocking on the door at 400HP. I have a desktop dyno and will plug the numbers in later and send you a PM.
A roller cam and roller rockers would help achieve your power goals. But the cost of roller cam, retro-roller lifters, correct length pushrods aint cheap! And do you really want to top off that roller setup with factory stamped steel rockers? Heck no!
1 Attachment(s)
Here are the numbers from Desktop Dyno 2003. There was not a supplied file for this cam, nor does it seem that Lunati publishes their valve timings like Comp Cams does. I figure this cam is pretty comparable to the Comp Camps XE268 cam so I started with that and edited the few known values that are published for this cam.
You are looking at
425 ft/lbs @ 4,000 RPM
I think this is a little conservitive, but not too far off. I would expect to see about about 380hp/430tq.
I took another look at those heads and since they are already 399.99 a piece i would suggest skipping them and going with these;
you are going to spend basically the same exact amount for a pair a of heads that will out perform the crap out of those vortec heads. right off the bat you would be looking at 20-25hp, due to the improved flow + velocity they produce and the extra .2-.3 of compression would you get out of them (if the vortecs are 66-68cc).
I would also recomend you jump to a slightly larger cam (if you refuse to go with a roller) such as this one;
do not use 1.6 rockers with these though, i would only use 1.5 rockers.
the cam i suggested with the RHS heads, as well as the kit i suggested would get you into the 425hp/450tq range. you will want to run an aftermarket stall with this cam though, around 2800. the cam says that it's band starts at 3000rpm but that is in a 350, in a 383 the band will start at about 2400rpm.
Sorry about not replying. Been a little busy. I just got the block back from the machine shop, they bored it .030 over but there was still a problem in the #2 cylinder so it went to .040. So looks like it'll be a 385. They also ground the deck down because it was in bad shape. He said he took .015" off, which should leave me around 9.010" deck. I didn't tell them to zero deck it because I didn't know what exactly I was putting in yet. After looking into the kit that my87z recommended, I decided to go with the Eagle kit. But I was thinking this one:
Eagle Specialty Products B13054L040 - Eagle Street and Strip Rotating Assemblies - Overview - SummitRacing.com
I think they're the same except balance type. With this, I should have .002" clearance. And also, I expecting around 9.68:1 CR. But that was assuming 64cc with the vortechs. So if they're not 64cc, that kind of sucks. I was looking for like 9.3-9.7 CR. I'll definitely look into those heads, my87z. Thanks.
i had to go back and look at both cams to see why i would have recomended the crane cam over the lunati cam. I'm actually a bit suprised that i recomended a crane cam, there is nothing wrong with them they are of a very good quality i just dont look at them very often, i think i picked it solely due to it's profile.
the crane cam has a bit more duration which the 385 will like, the lunati has a tad bit more lift but that isn't enough to be felt. the reason i picked the crane cam is because it's ramp rates are a lot more friendly on a hyd flat tappet valvetrain then the lunati cam's ramp rate. your ramp rate in laymens terms is the difference in duration @ .050 and the advertised duration.
ex. crane cam: 234°-296° which is a difference of 62°, this is basically how fast the valve opens and closes.
lunati cam: 227°-268° which is a defference of 41°, this means that on the lunati cam the valve will be opening and closing (.000"-.489"-.000") in 2/3rds the time of the crane cam. 41° difference is absically what you will see on a solid flat tappet cam and is VERY aggressive. which an aggressive ramp rate means extra stress on the rest of the valvetrain.
now the crane cam acutally has more of a slow ramp rate, 62° is a good bit. if i were to build another hyd flat tappet 383 then i would look for a ramp rate in the 50° range. here are a few that i like a bit better than the crane cam, and i certainly like them better than the lunati cam.

this one would probably be my choice, i am a big fan of howards valvetrain products, i have been using them for quite a while with absolutly no problems and their customer service is second to none.

and as i mentioned before, i wouldn't go with the scoggin dicky vortec heads for 800.00 when the 180cc RHS pro action heads are the same price and are proven to flow better and flat out perform better.
the Eagle kit you chose is just fine, i've used the 4.030" kit before and it worked great for me. if you match the howards cam, a nice performer rpm intake, a simple holley 750 vac sec carb, cheap HEI distributor (60K volt), with those RHS heads, and a decent set of headers and exhaust then you will be sitting in the 410-425hp rane but the kicker will be the 440-460tq you will make, all while using pump gas.

@ Joelster,
many 87' and up sbc blocks were roller but most trucks still came with a hyd flat tappet cam until 92-93' when they started making the first vortec sbc's. they were the ones with the swirl port heads, not the 906/062 vortecs that we all know today.
then you go into telling him to go after building a motor that will be pushing out 450-470hp which his 92' firebird wont hold up to very well. the 400hp goal he has is pretty much right where he wants to be unless he wants to start spending big $$$$ on setting the car up to handle it.
take a look at my profile name, My87z, and ask me how i know. that Z doesn't stand for and old datsun or nissan, it stands for Z-28. my most recent build has me running very low 11.0-11.15" and trust me when you exclude the motor i still have well over 10,000 into the car (not including the purchase price)
I just have a feeling he will be a little disappointed with those iron heads, when he understands that for a few hundred more he could make more power, run more compression, shed more weight and keep the motor cooler. While the motor is out and everything is easily accessible, spend the coin on some good parts. I'm not telling him to get some cnc'd $2500 set of heads. Just some bang-for-the-buck aluminum ones.

text: Yahoo ~ Texas Father Pickets School Over Son's Alleged "Bullying" The quotation marks are mine, as I *hate* the term, because "bullying" isn't what's going on in our schools. Physical, Emotional and Psychological Abuse is what's going on and I believe if we used the proper terms, then perhaps we might finally make some headway. The word "Bullying" IMO is nothing but a cover up word to use in order not to face reality. To say I went through Hell and still to this day trying to deal w/the long term effects is an understatement. I can't even imagine what the kids today are dealing w/thanks to the Social Media explosion. Good on this Dad for supporting his son and picketing this school. I can't even think how worse this must be for him, having come back from serving in Afghanistan/Iraq and seeing what he's seen and then this happening? From the sound of things, it was well known and had been going on for years, but when Max finally had enough *he's* the one who gets punished. Yeah, that makes perfect sense and teaches our kids just so much. Anyway...Just thought I'd post this to see what others think.

Advice on New Rescue
1 Attachment(s)
We just adopted Gypsy, a 3.5 year old girl, from a local rescue. She's perfectly sweet -- wonderful with our 2 year old, confident & solid with other dogs/strangers/bicycles/etc, easy-going in the house, but ready to go when we're outside to play, run, walk, whatever! Her basic manners are a little rusty, though. Her recall only happens on her terms, & she doesn't loose-leash walk very well. Walking her, while managing a stroller, is a bit difficult!
I thought the first step to working on those issues would be to start some clicker training with her (my first time with this sort of dog training), but we're still just trying to conquer "priming" the clicker. She seems to shut down when I begin trying to engage her, & especially once I introduce the "click". I'm trying to encourage her with my voice, posture, & am working on finding her favorite treats. She's a very soft dog; crumples at the first hint of sternness, so we keep all our interactions with her very light & encouraging.
Do you think she just needs time to bond with us, & grow more confident with our family? We've only had her since Saturday. She just seemed to fit in so naturally with us, that I assumed she'd be ready for some engaging training. Any thoughts or advice?
They do need some time to fit in, but you can start positive based training at the same time.
Is she hungry when you start the training? On My Mind: Clicker Training?What a Concept! | Karen Pryor Clicker Training
Charging the clicker....there are softer sounding clickers too
Can you put the clicker behind your back to muffle the sound AS YOU ARE FEEDING her the cheese/chicken/liver.
Then when she's not bothered by the sound (still behind your back) you can click THEN treat.
Then if she's now figuring out that the sound means cheese/chicken/liver (and it may take a few days) then you can start doing easy stuff.
You need TONS of teeny weenie treats given very frequently. She should be swallowing them not chewing them so you can quickly give more.
More great info ---> Helping Shy Dogs Blossom Using Targeting | Karen Pryor Clicker Training
good luck and bless you for rescuing!!!
Thank you for all those tips! I've muffled the clicker now, & begun clicking while she takes the treats, instead of click-THEN-treat. She seems to be warming up to it!
Thank you!

You can also try using a quieter clicker, like maybe a ballpoint pen or something. Once she gets the idea that the click means the treat, she'll probably not mind it so much. I wouldn't worry too much about training yet, spend a few days just loading that clicker really well. Then try clicking without having the treat handy, like when she's just relaxing, and if she looks immediately for a treat, then you're on the way.
It may help as well if you are sitting down and not looking directly at her when you are starting out, making her feel less 'threatened', which in turn will help her understand that the click means the treat and things are ok. Using a soft, little bit higher pitched 'sing-song' voice might help her as well.
She's gorgeous, and I bet that before long you are going to love her more than you even think possible. She's probably going to bloom into the best dog in the world with you to guide her along.

If I were you and she shut down when you started using the clicker, it would just make sense to not use it anymore. The clicker is simply a marker for wanted behavior, so for us.. we used a marker word. "Good Boy" worked for us. So every time I say that to Titan he understand that's the behavior I am desiring. Same concept, but in your case, it might be a better tool since she's so sensitive to the click, and not to your voice, you may give it a shot. If the "good" word is spoiled already (meaning you use it frequently elsewhere) just choose a different word, we had someone train her dog with the colors of the rainbow once.. each color meant something else. It was rather interesting :)
Anyways, that would be my suggestion in regards to her clicker sensitivity. For the treats to are searching for.... I would get Natural Balance Food Rolls... Dog Food Roll Formulas - Natural Balance Pet Foods Titan was super picky with treats, didn't have very many high value ones which made training slightly more difficult.. these however... we call doggie crack :D our trainer suggested it and it was the first time I have been able to bribe Titan with a treat. We get the Lamb, and the new Duck formula, we get the large one, cut them up into bite size pieces and seperate into bags and freeze them. Titan will eat them frozen or thawed. It's the only thing we use for traning now.
For recall, once you get your training technique down including treats you decide to use.. You basically want her on a lead to begin with. Call her with your recall command and if she doesn't come.. don't give her the option, pull her to you and treat treat treat! Once she solid on short distance.. get a longer lead.. and so on. The idea to is to make you more desirable than anything else so she wants to come back. So while frustrating.. you want to not scold her or be upset when she does come.. even if she wouldn't for the last 20 minutes! Lol.. easier said than done.. but it will go a long way.
For walking, I personally suggest a head collar. They aren't for eveery dog but they worked wonders for us. I would also suggest that when you work with her on loose leash walking, I would do it as a seperate training session. We ended up just walking to the end of our street a few times during training. Walk until she pulls.. even if that's the first step.. stops and turn the other way. This will force her to follow you. Once you have a loose leash turn back and continue your walk and repeat. It will get frustrating.. but she will start to learn that whe she pulls you turn around. You can also, just plain stop and stand there until she comes back to you and at that point I'd make her sit next to you before treating. She will, one, get the idea that if she tugs, you just stop and wont go until she is next to you, and two, it makes it convenient for time where you stop for whatever reason, and she will sit next to you.
Also, have your family participate in training sessions. It will help them bond with her and get her to listen to them too not just you.
Good luck with her!!! She gorgeous and lucky to have you guys. :)
Not a fan of of head collars though I know some use them.
Since she's such a sweet girl, you'll probably find mr favorite method works well with her.
When you can get out there without stroller, start a walk. The minute she walks forward and you feel tension on the lead, simply turn and head in the opposite direction. No need to correct her or even say anything. It may take a few days, but she'll soon learn getting ahead means being left behind.
You may get a bit dizzy, but she will soon be walking at your side.

Thanks, everyone, for helping us out here! Things are getting much better over the past couple days, with the helpful tips I've been receiving.
@originalwacky: sitting while click-and-treating has helped a lot, actually! I also began just waiting, while talking sweetly, for her to look up into my eyes before giving the click & treat. It seemed to have the effect of helping her lift herself out of that tense unease she kept sinking into. She's finally begun purposefully & eagerly (if still a bit shyly) looking up for her click & treat now!
@wyoung2153: thank you for the treat recommendation! I'll check those out. It's been a fun experience to figure out how her tastes trend -- I know now she loves hotdogs & ground beef, & likes but won't go crazy for cheese or chicken. I'm eager to try more treats for her! Also, thank you for the walk-through on recall training. We'll begin practicing that right away!
Thanks again to all of you! I'm loving working with her, & am feeling encouraged after the anticlimax of our disappointing start to training. :)

Excellent herbal formula for raging candida

Excellent herbal formula for raging candida
I use this in conjunction with Candex, also available thru iHerb, to stop candida when I've let things get out of control. The two products together act fast to rid me of itching, discharge, headaches, sinus, eye irritation, fatigue, and crankiness. Two bottles will get me back on track, and then I can maintain with just Candex. Other herbal formulas I've used seem less strong and effective. This one really works.

Works real good

Works real good, I only wish they had a label telling you what to expect when you detox your body. I had reactions to Candida clear and stop taking it because I thought it was a allergy but instead I found information under Herxheimer which explains what happens when you go through a detox. This was good to know and I am still taking Candida at smaller doses to lessen the effects.
I Love Candida Clear
Posted by Reviewer2057538 on Dec 26, 2007 | Verified Purchase
My family uses Candida Clear for colds, sinus infections, yeast infections, any infection for that matter... the ingredients of this product act as a natural antibiotic. I love this product and always keep a good supply of it around. For candida I take two capsules three times a day but if I am fighting a cold or infection I take it more frequently. You have to find what works for you.
I finally have my face back!!!

For the last ten years my face have been quite swollen and puffy. The doctors could not find any reason why, and after a while they assumed it was the way I had always looked. I have been on lots of superfoods for the last year, I feel great, but my face was still the same. Two weeks on Now Foods Candida Clear my face is suddenly more defined. I finally have cheekbones and a neck!! And I look healthy! I may sound shallow, but when I looked in the mirror and realised that my face had changed, it was one of the happiest moments in a very long time. Thank you Now Foods for getting rid of my "moon face".
It really works!

I found out I had been haveing candida for a long time, many years. I found theese on I herb and liked the reviews. The first week I took theese, I got sick from all the toxins that where released in my body, faster than my body could get to clean out. I got fever, sweats, the flu, and headache. But at the same time I felt better in my head and brain. It was like a carpet was removed from my brain. My activity raised, I started laughing again and became in a much better mood, and did not get that feeling of the brain is toastet black on a pan. The white layer on my tounge in the morning started to desapear and so did the white secret from my vagina. I also tolerate diffrent foods better now. I am not cured yet, but is still in progress.
Yeast control is key to staying healthy!

This product is very effective in controlling candida in the gut immediately, and effectively brings levels of candida lower in the rest of our bodies as well over time. Must be taken with food, to avoid gastric reflux. This is as important as taking a probiotic regularly to resupply the good bacteria in the gut.
It will help with fungal stomach problems but watch out for the itchy anus!
Posted by Reviewer2142889 on Apr 14, 2010 | Verified Purchase
With sustained use this product does it's job....clearing up gut fungus. However I believe it will never work to it's true potential unless the user alters their diet drastically. If you keep eating and drinking foods that feed candida, the infection will come back....candida clear will only help lower fungal levels...but you will not be rid of your problems entirely. Elimination diet together with these capsules will work well....maintain for a few months...then eat risky foods again (in moderation!). My weakness is beer...it undoes the good C.Clear can do very quickly...and a large C.Clear dose after a drinking session will always give me an itchy anus!....This I'm sure is a good sign...as the fungus is being killed off again...but it leaves a sting on my ring. Also, if you're taking probiotics, don't take them at the same time as C.Clear...I'm sure they also kill off some good bacteria....better to seperate your doses by 3 or 4 hours....that way both supplements can do their job well. I was gaining no benifits from probiotics until I did this.
candida clear, woo hoo !!

Slowly but surely my internet research showed me how many Candida symptoms I had. So I figured this stuff was worth a try...and, Wow this stuff works great, started noticing a difference in a couple days, then after about one and a half weeks, my puffy red upper cheeks started to "shrink", the darkness under my eyes went away, most of my neck pain went away, most congestion cleared up easier to breathe, all around feel healthier !!My face actually changed shape !!!! Guess I was pretty bad... anyway....Ive done detox's before but never did they seem to do so much... one caution though, I am on blood pressure meds, after about two weeks I noticed I started having pain behind my eyes, and ringing in my ears, started watching B.P. (have monitor at home), it was higher than it should have been... I think the Candida Clear was stripping my body of my B.P. so I laid off for a few weeks, then will try again in about a month... modifying diet to exclude grains and dairy also ...
Highly Recommended

I chose Now Foods' Candida Clear based on the positive reviews of others, and I'm pleased to add my own positive to the list. Few supplements have had such an immediate, positive effect as this one -- even the first dose was a bit of "ah! at last! finally!" from my body. Be advised, from its effects this seems to be a VERY warming supplement (from a Chinese medicine perspective) -- use common sense and moderate your intake if you feel too 'hot'. But for those suffering from damp, sluggish constitutions, this warming/drying formula sure hits the spot. I noticed an immediate improvement in energy and well-being and have already placed my order for this product again to continue with it.
Stomach Relief!!

No more intestinal pain. Bloated feeling gone. Constipation gone. I have also noticed cystic acne gone since I started taking this. This was definitely worth the money.

Pacquiao wants Horn knockout to lure Mayweather: Roach
MELBOURNE Manny Pacquiao is seeking a dominant win over Australia's Jeff Horn to try and coax Floyd Mayweather Jr into a re-match, the Filippino's long-time trainer Freddie Roach has said.
The Dallas Stars made the most of their powerplay opportunities to overcome the Anaheim Ducks 3-1 in a spiteful Pacific Division encounter on Friday.
A total of 14 penalties were dished out, including 10 in the first period, in which the Stars (6-5-1) scored two unanswered goals with a man advantage to lay the foundations for the win.
"Our first periods have been pretty good this year. We've come out with some juice," Stars coach Glen Gulutzan told reporters.
"I think it's a little bit indicative of how we practice. We want to come out with a lot of tempo in our practices."
Brad Staubitz was the main offender for the visitors with Trevor Daley scoring in the ninth minute for the Stars with a sizzling slap-shot from distance while the Ducks winger served time for roughing.
Staubitz was soon back in the bad books, ejected from the game after spearing Brenden Dillon in the groin, allowing Stars left wing Jamie Benn to slot home from a tricky angle during the advantage.
Nick Bonino scored for Anaheim (7-2-1) with an expert deflection on a Luca Sbisa slap-shot in the second period to halve the deficit before Loui Eriksson restored the two-goal advantage with a little more than seven minutes remaining.
"Obviously they came out well and we didn't. We were in quicksand right off the bat and we didn't play very well in the first period," Ducks coach Bruce Boudreau said.
"You can't play 40 minutes in this league and win games, you have got to play the whole game."
The Ducks entered the contest on a four-game winning streak and remain top of the division but allowed the Stars to pull within two points.
They have little time to rest, however, continuing the road trip in St Louis on Saturday.
"I want them to have a long memory," Boudreau said.
"I want them to know they didn't come ready to play and what happens when you play good hockey clubs when you're not ready.

text: quiet. and here's what i'm learning from it: - there is an enormous amount of furry art on the internet. either that or it receives precedence on search engines due to heavy link backslapping. it's paying its toll on my psyche and i'm suspicious of all of my friends, loved ones. do they have a secret animal persona? i'll be talking to someone and my brain does surprisingly textured real-time transformations of them into rodents, panthers, even shrimp. i literally have to slap myself. i am not a furry! maybe a crustacy, but not a furry! i need a shell on that hot animal love! - yes there are plenty of overtly funny things to see on the interweb. like this. but it is truly thrilling to find the subtle and the timeless. well, yeah, the clown's timeless, too, I guess. - the goal is not to be funny. i think there is a lot to lol over, but it seems more worthwhile to juxtapose a number of reactions against each other. yet, keep a certain theme within a 24hr block. what blows my mind is that each of these images is backed up by a human who took the time to draw the picture, make the puppets, glue the cereal, effect the shot, and put it on the web. let that represent! of course, in their original context, some of these make sense but-- take them out of their cozy environment-- toss them in the troff where all things are equal-- it starts to feel like an oceanic view, built from these individual servings of sight. - love the vintage.

No Sales Tax!
Commercial grade espresso machines group head gaskets need to be replaced at least once a year. If your machine is starting to leak around the group head during brewing you probably have an old, dry, and cracked gasket. However, you will need to make sure that you are not filling your filter basket too full causing the portafilter to not properly align, which also cause leakage. To check, simply look for an indention in the dispersion screen after brewing. If you do not see an indention, then you will need to change your gasket.
