Dollar-Cost Averaging: For Higher Return or for Lower Risk?
By Sun
In the past couple of days, I did some further study on VFINX after I took a look at the market value and shares owned at the beginning of 2007 if I started investment in January 1988 with four different investment schemes (here's the previous post). In this study, I use VFINX as a dollar-cost avaraging example to find out the annual return for each investment plans from January 1988 to January 2007 and consider the risk of each plan by comparing the annual performance against S&P 500 during the same period.
One argument I heard about using dollar-cost-averaging (DCA) instead of lump sum (LS) is that DCA can buy you peace of mind. Since you are investing a fixed small amount of money regularly, you are not trying to figure out when is a good time to buy (i.e., you are not trying to time the market). By investing regularly, you effectively ignore the short-term market fluctuation. Over long-term, DCA can reduce your risk. According to Investopedia.com, risk is defined as
The chance that an investment's actual return will be different than expected. This includes the possibility of losing some or all of the original investment. It is usually measured by calculating the standard deviation of the historical returns or average returns of a specific investment.
When investing in funds like VFINX, which tracks S&P 500, we expect our returns to be close to the performance of S&P 500. However, with the four investment plans as I used in the previous post, the performances are different as compared to S&P 500. The question is how different are they?
Here I still use the four investment schemes as I used in the last study and make first purchase of the year for all plans on the first trading day of January. For 2006, the 1-month DCA plan made the following purchases on the first trading day of each month.
Date | Dividend | Close | Shares purchased |
Appreciation on 01/03/07 |
26-Dec-06 | $0.65 | $130.43 | 0.049 | 6.43 |
1-Dec-06 | $0 | $130.59 | 0.765 | -0.58 |
1-Nov-06 | $0 | $129.43 | 0.772 | -17.26 |
2-Oct-06 | $0 | $127.04 | 0.787 | 2.18 |
22-Sep-06 | $0.52 | $121.08 | 0.032 | 4.23 |
1-Sep-06 | $0 | $123.04 | 0.812 | 5.51 |
1-Aug-06 | $0 | $120.48 | 0.830 | 7.75 |
3-Jul-06 | $0 | $117.7 | 0.849 | 10.29 |
23-Jun-06 | $0.48 | $114.6 | 0.021 | 2.76 |
1-Jun-06 | $0 | $116.99 | 0.854 | 10.96 |
1-May-06 | $0 | $117.33 | 0.852 | 10.64 |
3-Apr-06 | $0 | $120.83 | 0.827 | 7.44 |
17-Mar-06 | $0.49 | $120.35 | 0.010 | 1.33 |
1-Mar-06 | $0 | $119.24 | 0.838 | 8.87 |
1-Feb-06 | $0 | $118.26 | 0.845 | 9.77 |
3-Jan-06 | $0 | $117.96 | 0.847 | 10.05 |
All dividends are reinvested and the number of shares purchased with each distribution is calculated as
No. of shares = (Current no. of shares) * (Dividend per share) / (Close price)
For example, on March 17, 2006, there was dividend distribution of $0.49/share. At that time, the total number of shares I owned were (0.847+0.845+0.838) = 2.53 shares. Thus, the number of shares I added from this distribution was 2.53 * 0.49 / 120.35 = 0.0103 shares. For other distributions throughout the year, as I accumulated more shares, the number of shares I obtained from dividend distribution became bigger, and the last dividend distribution on December 26, 2006 was the largest of the year.

The close price of VFINX on January 3, 2007 is $129.82 and this is the price that I use to calculate the appreciation of each purchase I made. For example, I bought 0.847 shares on January 3, 2006 at $117.96. On January 3, 2007, these 0.847 shares appreciated 0.847 * (129.82 – 117.96) = 10.0454 dollars. Those shares purchased from dividend distribution will add net gains to the return since I didn't spend money to make the purchases. Thus, the 0.0103 shares from March 17, 2006 dividend distribution will add a net gain of 0.0103 * 129.82 = 1.3371 dollars.
The summation of last column (Appreciation on 01/03/07) of the above table is the net market value appreciation of $80.37 for 2006 and I paid $1,200 to get the gain. Therefore, for 2006, the annual return of my 1-month DCA investment plan is 80.37 / 1200 * 100% = 6.70%. That's right. If I buy $100 of VFINX on the first day of every month, I only have an annual return of 6.70%.
Using the same method, I calculated the annual returns for four different investment schemes from 1988 to 2007, which are shown in the following plot.
The annual returns of S&P 500 from 1998 to 2007 are calculated as
S&P annual return = ((S&P on the 1st day of this year) – (S&P on the 1st day of last year)) / (S&P on the 1st day of last year)
From my calculation, only the 1-year investment scheme has performance that matches S&P 500 over the past 19 years (the slight higher return is due to dividend reinvestment). The plan that I am using right now for all my mutual funds investments, 1-month DCA, actually has the worst performance among the four DCA plans that I considered in the study. For 1-month DCA, it only beat others when there was a year-over-year decline of S&P, but that only happened four times from 1988 to 2007.
So instead of giving a return that matches the broad market (even though I invested in a fund that tracks the market), I got far inferior performance by investing $100 every month. Then, what about risk? People always say that to get a higher return, you have to take a greater risk. Since I got lowest return with 1-month DCA, the risk should also be the lowest among the four plans. To measure the risk involved in each plan, I calculated the standard deviation of each of them using the annual returns of S&P 500 from 1988 to 2007 as the expected returns. Standard deviation, according to Morningstar,
is a statistical measure of the range of a fund's performance. When a fund has a high standard deviation, its range of performance has been very wide, indicating that there is a greater potential for volatility.
Thus, with the standard deviation, I can tell how much each investment scheme is away from the expected return that we can get by investing in an index fund such as VFINX. A higher standard deviation means higher volatility and, thus, higher risk.
Well, when I saw the results of my calculation, it didn't really surprise that the 1-month DCA plan, which is supposed to help me reduce risk, came out with the highest standard deviation. This can be clearly observed from the return picture as the performance of the 1-month DCA plan is usually far away from the index. The above figure shows that the longer the investment frequency (12 months is the longest investment period), the lower the standard deviation.
The main conclusion from my study is that one widely used investment plan, monthly DCA, may not be as good as we have thought. It seems that it neither can provide higher return, no can it reduce risk. Though my study with this single fund may not be thorough and the way I calculated the returns and risk may be flawed (please do let me know if you find something that's not right so this post won't be misleading), it is at least indicative. What causes the lackluster performance of the 1-month DCA plan is not just that the shares we purchased later in the year became more and more expensive in a up market as we have experienced most of the time of the past 19 years, the returns from dividend distribution were also much lower than what we could otherwise receive with a LS purchase at the beginning of the year as only a small portion of the annual investment earns the full year dividend.
Maybe it's time for a change.

Last year, President Bush tapped the former ambassador to Columbia, William Wood, to become U.S. ambassador to Afghanistan.
Stevens, who spoke Arabic, took up his appointment as ambassador to Libya in the Spring of this year.
The famously prickly former U.N. ambassador has served several presidents, but he's never held elected office.
As former U.S. ambassador to Cambodia Joseph Mussomeli put it, "Levi Strauss or the Gap could destroy this country on a whim."
The ambassador was leaning forward, glaring at him, his face a mottled crimson.
Mohammed, however, pardoned him, and made him his ambassador to China.
At last the news was spread that the duke had sent an ambassador.
Gaston and Bertha paid the ambassador's wife a visit of persuasion.
Take the ambassador to the reception-room and tell him that I shall wait on him at once.
late 14c., also embassador, from Middle French ambassadeur, from Old French embassator, via Provençal or Old Spanish from Latin ambactus "a servant, vassal," from Celtic amb(i)actos "a messenger, servant," from PIE *ambhi- "about" (see ambi-) + *ag- "drive, lead" (see act (v.)). Cf. embassy. Forms in am- and em- were used indiscriminately 17c.-18c.
In the Old Testament the Hebrew word _tsir_, meaning "one who goes on an errand," is rendered thus (Josh. 9:4; Prov. 13:17; Isa. 18:2; Jer. 49:14; Obad. 1:1). This is also the rendering of _melits_, meaning "an interpreter," in 2 Chr. 32:31; and of _malak_, a "messenger," in 2 Chr. 35:21; Isa. 30:4; 33:7; Ezek. 17:15. This is the name used by the apostle as designating those who are appointed by God to declare his will (2 Cor. 5:20; Eph. 6:20). The Hebrews on various occasions and for various purposes had recourse to the services of ambassadors, e.g., to contract alliances (Josh. 9:4), to solicit favours (Num. 20:14), to remonstrate when wrong was done (Judg. 11:12), to condole with a young king on the death of his father (2 Sam. 10:2), and to congratulate a king on his accession to the throne (1 Kings 5:1). To do injury to an ambassador was to insult the king who sent him (2 Sam. 10:5).

The guy has Piston DNA. Will the Knicks match? LEE'S CAREER REACHES 'HIGH PRESSURE TIME' - New York Post
I wonder if there is a deal that would send Prince to NY for Lee and someone else... Let Lee play the three spot. Based on last season Lee's Sprocket Points justified salary is nearly $12mm. Prince's is $9.5mm.
I love the previously suggested idea of David changing his jersey number to 356 and our Lee still hating him with a passion.
I think he could fit very well with Pistons. But we'll have to wait and see what Joe has come up with.

New U.S.-India Aviation Agreement Could Unleash Regional Potential
August 1, 2011
Listen to the NBAA Flight Plan interview with the FAA Associate Administrator for Aviation Safety.
For the aviation industry, India holds many opportunities. The country is home to the world's second-largest population. Even in the midst of a struggling worldwide economy, India's gross domestic product is expected to climb 8.2 percent this year – on top of last year's 9.7 percent growth rate.
At the same time, India at the moment has virtually no infrastructure for business aviation. But because of its rapid economic growth, government officials predict India's general aviation sector will grow by 25-percent for each of the next ten years.
Last month, India and the U.S. signed a Bilateral Aviation Safety Agreement, establishing an official relationship between the two countries on matters of aviation technology and development.
"This allows us to market our technology in the U.S., and for American companies to market their technologies in India," said Arjun Singh, director of India's Aviation Cooperation Program. That government-to-government and business-to-business organization is a major platform for communication between both countries.
"One avenue of this agreement is our ability now to work with the Indian government and to establish their level of confidence in certifying aeronautical products so that we can take advantage of the work they do and accept products into the U.S.," Peggy Gilligan, Federal Aviation Administration Associate Administrator for Aviation Safety, observed. "Equally – maybe more – important for our industry it allows the government of India to accept U.S.-certified products without further evaluation by the Indian government."
In other words, certification of aviation technology and products by one country virtually constitutes certification by both.
A major area of cooperation under this new agreement and several others recently signed between the US and India is in airport development.
"Through ACP, we are trying to build up the base, how to build up the regulations and make the rules for GA," Singh said. "American companies can come and teach Indian companies how to build airports and technology, and then they'll get Indian government approval to build them."
New airports in India will benefit from the latest technology, many built from the ground-up to take advantage of NextGen systems being developed in the United States, said Gilligan.
"In fact, India already has underway its equivalent of the WAAS system that we have here in the U.S.," she noted. "It will be interoperable with the WAAS system in the U.S., as well as similar systems around the world. Here again, [India] is benefiting from our experience and our technical capabilities. We see the market in India opening up broadly now for aircraft products as well as for NextGen and other aeronautical technologies."

Broadbased, Record Declines in Home Prices in October According to the S&P/Case-Shiller(R) Home Price Indices
Dec 26, 2007, 00:00 ET from Standard & Poor's
NEW YORK, Dec. 26 /PRNewswire/ -- Data through October 2007, released today by Standard & Poor's for its S&P/Case-Shiller(R) Home Price Indices, the leading measure of U.S. home prices, show broadbased declines in the prices of existing single family homes across the United States, marking the 10th consecutive month of negative annual returns and the 23rd consecutive month of decelerating returns. The 10-City Composite's annual decline of 6.7% is a record low. The previous largest decline on record was 6.3% recorded in April 1991. In October, the 20-City Composite recorded an annual decline of 6.1%. "No matter how you look at these data, it is obvious that the current state of the single-family housing market remains grim," says Robert J. Shiller, Chief Economist at MacroMarkets LLC. "Not only did the 10-City Composite post a record low in its annual growth rate, but 11 of the 20 metro areas did the same. If you look at the monthly figures, every MSA went down in both October and September. Eleven of the 20 MSAs, in addition to the two composites, recorded their single largest monthly decline on record in October. For both the 10-City and 20-City composites this was a decline of 1.4% over September" Miami surpassed Tampa in October, reporting a double-digit annual decline of 12.4%. Tampa followed with -11.8%, Detroit with -11.2% and San Diego with - 11.1%. Six of the metro areas are now posting double digit declines in their annual growth rates. Atlanta and Dallas finally entered negative territory, with declines of 0.7% and 0.1%, respectively, leaving only Charlotte, Portland and Seattle as the MSAs still experiencing positive annual growth rates. The table below summarizes the results for October 2007. The S&P/Case- Shiller(R) Home Price Indices are revised for the 24 prior months, based on the receipt of additional source data. More than 20 years of history for these data series is available, and can be accessed in full by going to www.homeprice.standardandpoors.com

They are constructed to accurately track the price path of typical single-family homes located in each metropolitan area provided. Each index combines matched price pairs for thousands of individual houses from the available universe of arms-length sales data. The S&P/Case-Shiller(R) National U.S. Home Price Index tracks the value of single- family housing within the United States. The index is a composite of single- family home price indices for the nine U.S. Census divisions and is calculated quarterly. The S&P/Case-Shiller(R) Composite of 10 Home Price Index is a value-weighted average of the 10 original metro area indices. The S&P/Case- Shiller(R) Composite of 20 Home Price Index is a value-weighted average of the 20 metro area indices. The indices have a base value of 100 in January 2000; thus, for example, a current index value of 150 translates to a 50% appreciation rate since January 2000 for a typical home located within the subject market.

Computer owners make use of a variety of tools to explain an application's interface or to describe a computer problem that they are facing. The most common tool that is used to do this is a screenshot. You can take a screenshot of whatever it is that you want to explain or get help with; the image can act as a quick resource for its recipients to refer to.
But in some situations when you need to leave no room for confusion, you make use of screencasts. These are basically recordings of the application activity being done on your screen. If you would like to record screencasts on your PC, you should check out an app called VidShot Capturer.
VidShot Capturer is a freeware desktop application for Windows computers. This app helps its users record screencasts in a very simple way.

Pros: Tonal balance, light weight, durability/serviceability, low-key aesthetics
Cons: Smaller/shallower soundstage than a good open-back headphone; may require some break-in time for optimum wearing comfort
The problem with having a reference-grade pair of headphones for home listening (in my case, Grado's amazing Prestige Series SR325is) is that when you start looking for 'phones to listen to away from home, just about everything you try inevitably comes up short in one way or another, and the name of the game becomes "which set of compromises am I willing to live with?"
For me, the current crop of headphones aimed toward portable listening is, at best, merely acceptable. I could drag out the usual suspects to use as punching bags, but we already know who they are; just think style-over-substance and there's no need to name names. But there are a few seriously-mediocre 'phones out there offered by outfits that should definitely know better (AKG, I'm looking at you). Really, nothing I listened to in the "portable headphones" category did the trick, which is rather astounding given the money being asked for some of the upper-end models.
Then, while grousing about this situation to a sales guy at the headphone counter at J & R the other night, I got a suggestion I should have thought of before: ignore the "portable" category altogether, and audition something a pro would use. However, one good reason why I hadn't thought of this is that most "serious" headphones also typically sport some serious size and weight, and aren't always something that's easy for something like an iPod to drive at satisfying (not ear-splitting) sound levels. Yes, wearing big 'phones on the street is apparently cool again, but I prefer being a bit more discreet in my headwear, although I'm about done with in-ear phones and their assorted anomalies.
The sales guy then handed me a pair of these Sennheisers. I listened. I looked them over. I listened again. I was sold, simple as that.
They're decidedly ordinary-looking, literally dull. Sennheiser didn't exactly go out of their way to make an unstylish headphone: this is a model that was pitched initially to people who care a lot more about a 'phone's performance and reliability/durability than about how cool they look (or think they look) while wearing them: recording engineers and producers, sound-reinforcement people for the stage and the screen, sportscasters, and, of course, DJs. Think of the '55 Chevy James Taylor and Dennis Wilson drove in Two-Lane Blacktop: not slick, not working too hard to be cool, but clearly having what it takes to do the job.
And, what a job! Riding the train or bus, or walking the streets, I get the music, full, deep and wide...or not, depending on the recording. Being more of a true "monitor" headphone, the HD 25 doesn't do much in the way of juicing or monkeying around with the signal in the name of making a grand impression; if the recording is good, you'll hear just how good it is, perhaps for the very first time while away from your "reference" home 'fi. If the recording is sub-par, you'll know that, too, but the result won't necessarily be unlistenable, just minus any sugarcoating.
A few have pointed out the HD 25's nearly all-plastic construction, regarding it as "cheap." There's nothing cheap about this headphone's materials or construction: having been on the market for well over a decade, its design and build quality have been proven countless times in the professional field, where people are not known for treating gear with kid gloves. In the hands of the average consumer, these cans will easily outlast any flavor-of-the-month style-phones by an order of magnitude.
As durable as these are, they're also a damn sight lighter than your typical please-don't-drop-me bling-phones. I won't say it feels like you're wearing nothing on your head, just that it's a light touch overall. For some people, however, the pressure of the headband's "clamping" effect might be a bit much for listening much beyond an hour; this gradually eases as the headphones are broken in.
And, speaking of "broken": if by some freak event you manage to do damage to any part of the HD 25, that broken part can be replaced; Sennheiser keeps an inventory of spares if needed.
(As an aside, these headphones happen to be manufactured in Ireland. Take away what you will about that.)
That's the picture for you. I love the things. I think there's a fair chance that you'll at least like them.

I had my Mirena removed on 5/14 and still haven't had a period nor do I feel like it is coming anytime soon - it has been 43 days. I took some OPK's last week and it was positive on Tusday/Wednesday and Friday - why would it be positive for some many days? I took one pregnancy test last week that was negative and the OPKs are negative now also - so i guess I will wait a few more days before retesting. I don't feel like i am pregnant butt i would really just like for AF (Aunt Flo - menstruation/period) to come so i could figure out my cycle!
anyone else take a long time to start a cycle after mirena removal?

The movement notes in its pamphlet that "before a world that is ever more fearful of the future and before men and women who are no longer capable of raising their eyes and looking above, the slain missionaries invite us to be even stronger in the faith, to believe that a new humanity is possible, to hope for a better future."
"The martyrs give us strength to continue because they are men and women who follow Christ and have shown that forgiveness and love are stronger than hatred, because with their sacrifices they show us that the Lord continues resurrected and alive, overcoming evil and death," the pamphlet states.
"Without the witness of missionaries," it continues, "the world would be poorer and more desolate, it would be even more difficult to have hope because the martyrs shine like the stars and with their testimony they illuminate the path of humanity towards the light that is Christ."
"A life spent in love can transform consciences and lives. Rather than inspiring sadness, martyrdom in the Church is experienced as a source of strength, energy and hope for continuing down the same path that Christ followed," the pamphlet emphasizes.
The document also includes various suggestions for celebrating Eucharistic Adoration, the Way of the Cross and prayer vigils, as well as for making visits to the sick, offering one's sufferings for the missions, donating blood to save lives and providing shelter for one day for a poor person or a foreigner.

Guardian Beasts Invade Pockie Pirates
11/15/2012 | |||||||
GamesPress.] NGames, a leading online games publisher, has announced the immediate introduction of "Guardian Beasts", a brand new pet system, to One Piece browser-based MMO, Pockie Pirates. Following the launch of "Chapter 5 - The Straw Hats", which added new All Blue crew members and adventures, Pockie Pirates players can now raise and train their very own beastly pets. When taking a beating, pirates will be able to turn the tide of crew vs. crew battle in their favour by unleashing their Guardian Beast - a new pet with the power to deliver potentially combat-defining blows. The introduction of Guardian Beasts adds two exciting new game modes to the free-to-play MMO, allowing players to sculpt their pets personalities into unique killing machines. Raising Hell Upon reaching level 30 players can acquire an unhatched egg, which must be nurtured before it hatches. By effectively nurturing and levelling their egg with different enhancement items, pirates can ensure that their Guardian Beast enters the world with the strongest possible skills. Eggs hatch when they reach level 20, springing forth a unique beast with its own personality of attributes, including active skills and a passive skill slot. Every Pockie Pirates pet is born with a unique active skill and the option to add new skills later, allowing for a huge variety of different pet + skill combinations. Hatched Guardian Beasts act as an effective crew member in battles, but they come with a twist. Instead of attacking and being susceptible to harm from opposing players like the rest of the crew, Guardian Beasts instead watch the action unfold from the sidelines. As the captain of the crew takes damage, the beast becomes angered and gains Fury. When the Fury meter hits 100, the beast jumps into battle and unleashes its powerful skills on the opposing crew. Players can level and earn EXP for their Guardian Beast by playing through the new Guardian Beast Adventure mode, while special enhancement items, active skills, and passive skills can be acquired by finishing the all new Combo Adventures. Whether a Guardian Beast learns the same skill repeatedly to become an expert in its field, or simply learns multiple skills to encompass a range of talents, is entirely the players choice. --- "Chapter 5: The Straw Hats" and the new Guardian Beasts are available now. Players can join the race to become the King of the Pirates for free today by joining Pockie Pirates on Game321: http://pirates.game321.com/ Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/PPFans Twitter: https://twitter.com/#!/PockiePirates Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/user/playgame321 Want the full size version of the above?

Timothy Harris, of Isle of Wight Studio Glass, working on a commemorative bowl to be presented to the Queen during her Diamond Jubilee visit to the Island.
RISING costs and cheap imports have been blamed for the closure of a renowned Isle of Wight company and 11 job losses.
Ventnor-based glassmakers Isle of Wight Studio Glass ceased trading last Wednesday (2) and is due to be placed into creditors' voluntary liquidation following a meeting of shareholders and creditors, scheduled for January 18.
Insolvency practitioner Portland Business and Financial Solutions, based in Fareham, has been appointed to wind up the company.
Isle of Wight Studio Glass was founded in 1973 by Michael Harris, and won great acclaim for its imaginative and innovative designs.
Last year, managing director Timothy Harris presented the Queen with a commemorative bowl during her Diamond Jubilee visit to the Isle of Wight.
Accomplished glassmaker Mr Harris, who took over the business following the death of his father in 1984, said: "Over the past year we have been battling against increasing energy bills and overheads and facing a worldwide downturn in trade, but we carried on in the hope we could turn the business round.
"Sadly, in December it was evident that we simply could not continue."
Outstanding skills and the exploration of new designs and techniques had kept the studio at the forefront of decorative studio glass worldwide, but the market had been eroded by cheap imports from China and the Far East, he said.
The closure of the studio was met with dismay by glass collectors. Antiques Roadshow expert Mark Hill posted on Twitter: "Shocked and sad to hear about the closure of Isle of Wight Studio Glass."
Mr Harris said he was determined to resurrect the business, in some form, in the future.
"I will continue to be a master glassmaker, but the structure of any future business that administers this indisputably creative and respected Isle of Wight company has yet to be confirmed," he said.

Important Notes for Change of Minor's Name via Deed Poll From 1 June 2007, to effect a change of name of a minor, Immigration Checkpoints Authority (ICA) requires one parent to complete a form to declare that the minor's other parent has also consented to the name change or is uncontactable or has passed away, in addition to producing the Deed Poll.
For Minor under 1 year old, please check with ICA on your requirements.
It is advisable for both parents to sign a Joint Deed Poll, so that consent is not an issue when you attend to change the name of your child at ICA.
By applying for a Deed Poll to change your Minor Child's Name, you DECLARE that you have obtained the other parent's consent, or the other parent is uncontactable or has passed away (as the case may be), and you are aware that you are required to make the above declaration to ICA when you attend at ICA. You have been cautioned that where there is a change in the Child (including but not limited to surname), occasionally, ICA may not process the change of name or require both parents to sign the Deed Poll, which are circumstances beyond our control.
***Important Note: Please be reminded to bring your Child's original Birth Certificate (together with English translation if it is not in English) when you attend for your appointment to sign the Deed Poll. Your Child need not attend for the signing of the Deed Poll.

Best thing you could do to increase mileage is build the engine close to stock, but change the trans to a 700R4. The overdrive in the tranny will do more to boost your mileage than anything you can do to that engine.
X2 on 1971BB427's 700R4. The deep low in these boxes gets the truck launched without having to mash the pedal through the floor this will be a big help with your tall tires and high rear end ratio against 2 tons of truck. The Overdrive will cut highway revs way down allowing a fast cruise with hardly any throttle. The lockup converter alone is good for about a 10% improvement if you're on the highway a lot. In the engine room the ubiquitous Vortec heads will pull up the compression and greatly improve the burn so you're getting the energy out of the gasoline you paid for. the cam you have is essentially the 300 horse, 327 cam. that was with 10.5 compression back when. Obviously you can't run that on an iron head today but you can run this more like 9 to 9.2. Given your big tires and high gear ratio the Swirl Port head from the TBI 350 would be a good choice, this tends to bump up the bottom end quite well and will fit conventional intakes where the Vortec takes a unique and somewhat pricey intake. For a carb either the Edlebrock/Carter or the Q-Jet, the smaller primaries will help your low RPM cruise while keeping some big secondaries in reserve for when maximum flow is needed. Unfortunately the pistons in the Goodwrench aren't the best configuration for chamber efficiency those circular dish pistons don't promote chamber turbulence. A change to D dish or flat tops would make an improvement but gets pricey since you have to get all the way into the engine. Actually on a cost to benefit ratio these changes will take a long time to break-even on fuel savings. Bogie |
can't do much more than what you already have.
however...... Skinny tires would help. stock 4bbl intake and qjet would also work well. headers are good idea. make sure the carb is tuned well. Put in a 02 sensor so you can make adjustments ignition timing is very important for good mpg. Use 15 initial, 37 total in soon as possible, plus 10 from the vacuum advance. Use the stock thermal fan. a tight convert will help too. use a regular oil pump (not high volume) you would be better off installing a late model 5.3, as it would be cheaper than to rebuild an old 350, makes more power, and gets better mpg. |

You can get a complete 5.3 (fan to flexplate) with efi and all accessories fairly cheap. Prices will vary between 500 and 1000 depending on mileage.
Would need to fab in mounts, there are ways to uses your current trans, and some efi reprogramming to do also. Do some research when the time comes to rebuild the old 350. If you have some skills and some time, you could so the swap very cheaply. my 454/th400 gets 8 mpg around town and around 12 on the highway. When gas goes to 4 or $5/gallon. A 5.3 with od trans will paid for itself in short order! Only problem is I will need to change my name from 454c10 to 5.3c10 or maybe 6.0c10. |

Abdul Ahad Mohmand (, born January 1, 1959) is a former Afghan Air Force aviator who became the first Afghan and fourth Muslim to journey to outer space. He became one of Soyuz TM-6 crew members and spent nine days aboard the Mir space station in 1988 as an Intercosmos Research Cosmonaut.[1] He became the fourth Muslim to visit outer spaces, after Sultan bin Salman Al Saud, Muhammed Faris, and Musa Manarov. During this mission Abdul Ahad Mohmand was the first cosmonaut to use Pushto after he made a telephone call to Afghanistan. Mohmand is also believed to be the first Muslim who took the Qur'an to space.[citation needed]
Mohmand was born on 1 January 1959 in Sardah, in the Ghazni Province of Afghanistan. He belongs to the Mohmand tribe of the Pushtun ethnic group. Mohmand graduated from the Polytechnical University of Kabul and then from the Air Force Academy. He served in the Afghan Air Force (AAF) and later trained in the Soviet Union as a pilot and a professional astronaut.[2]
Along with Commander Vladimir Lyakhov and Flight Engineer Valery Polyakov, Mohmand was part of the Soyuz TM-6 three-man crew, which launched at 04:23 GMT August 29, 1988. Momand's inclusion in the mission was a significant symbol during the Soviet war in Afghanistan.
During his nine days stay on the Mir space station, Momand took photographs of his country, participated in astrophysical, medical and biological experiments. He also spoke to Afghanistan's president, Mohammed Najibullah, and brewed Afghan tea for the crew.
Lyakhov and Mohmand returned to Earth aboard Soyuz TM-5. The September 6 planned landing of Soyuz TM-5 was delayed because of mechanical complications on the Mir. Radio Moscow reassured listeners that Lyakhov and Mohmand were fine and in touch with Mission Control. A recording was played of them laughing. A day later, the retro-fire was successful, and at 00:50 GMT Soyuz TM-5 landed near Dzhezkazgan. During touchdown there was no live radio coverage, only live television pictures of Mission Control.
Mohmand was awarded the title Hero of the Soviet Union on September 7, 1988.[3]
During his flight to space, his mother was extremely distraught over the safety of her son. Afghan President Mohammad Najibullah called Momand's mother into the President's office and arranged an audio/video conference between Mohmand and her. By this event, Pushto became the 5th language spoken in space.[citation needed]
On his return he was made Deputy Civil Aviation Minister, but was a short posting due to the failure of Soviet forces against the Mujahideen take over.
Following the withdrawal of Soviet forces from Afghanistan, Mohmand decided to emigrate to Germany in 1992 and applied for asylum there, becoming a German citizen in 2003.[4] He worked in printing services and now as an accountant residing in Ostfildern near Stuttgart.[4]

Fuel Economy Standards Going Up 2MPG for 2011
byThe Obama administration will announce on Friday a combined car and light truck fuel economy standard for the 2011 model year of 27.3 miles per gallon, a first step in a much broader re-working of the federal fuel economy rules that will continue later this year.
The administration is required to set the standard before the end of March under the 2007 energy law. President Obama has ordered federal officials to redo proposed standards for model years 2012 to 2016 to comply with plans for greater restrictions on global warming gases across industries.
The auto industry is also going to have to cope with the likelihood that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency will allow California and other states to set their own fuel economy/greenhouse gas standards in the next few months.
The 2011 standard is an increase of 2 m.p.g. over current standards. New cars will need to meet a 30.2 m.p.g. standard, while light trucks, including sport utility vehicles, must hit 24.1 m.p.g. There is no problem meeting those standards for the automakers. But as an industry, Detroit automakers as well as Asian and European companies are fighting even stiffer fuel economy standards expected to be enforced by 2015.
European cars are far more fuel efficient than the U.S. fleet because consumers are subject to stiff gas taxes that creates a natural market demand for smaller, more fuel efficient vehicles and engines. But U.S. politicians say they if they voted for similar taxes, they would be voted out of office.

Before long, they were as big as Elvis or the Beatles would be after them, creating hysteria wherever they went and grabbing an unprecedented hold over every entertainment outlet of the era: radio, television, movies, stage shows, and nightclubs. Martin and Lewis were a national craze, an American institution. The millions (and the women) flowed in, seemingly without end, and then, on July 24, 1956, 10 years from the day when the two men joined forces, it all ended.
After that traumatic day, the two wouldn't speak again for 20 years. And while both went on to forge triumphant individual careers, Martin as a movie and television star, recording artist, and nightclub luminary (and charter member of the Rat Pack); Lewis as the groundbreaking writer, producer, director, and star of a series of hugely successful movie comedies, their parting left a hole in the national psyche, as well as in each man's heart.
In a memoir by turns moving, tragic, and hilarious, Jerry Lewis recounts with crystal clarity every step of a 50-year friendship, from the springtime, 1945 afternoon when the two vibrant young performers destined to conquer the world together met on Broadway and 54th Street, to their tragic final encounter in the 1990s, when Lewis and his wife ran into Dean Martin, a broken and haunted old man.
©2005 Jerry Lewis; (P)2005 Books on Tape
"Fans will be surprised and entertained by Lewis' honesty and diminished ego and bitterness." (Publishers Weekly)
"You've got to listen to this!"
This is one of the 3 best audio books I've ever listened to - gripping, entertaining, and full of memories. If you've ever seen a Martin/Lewis movie, or remember either of the stars on TV or film, or even just watched the MDA fundraiser - you'll laugh out loud and sometimes tear up listening to this 50-year love story by Jerry Lewis. The narrator Stephen Hoye is phenomenal - his mimicry of Jerry's Jersey and "jerk" voicing, plus Dean Martin's soft mid-western/Italian, makes you feel like they are sitting right beside you. Hoye is so perfect in the reading I came back to Audible to look him up - I was convinced that Mr. Lewis must have picked the reader from the professional acting community, but Hoye has numerous books to his credit and I intend to seek out his readings (which I've never felt compelled to do before). The pacing is superb - there are no boring parts - you're engaged every minute. Mostly, this audiobook is a walk down memory lane - not only Dean and Jerry, but Sinatra and the Rat Pack, June Allyson, Marilyn Monroe, and many many more. Mr. Lewis seems to hold nothing back - including his own addiction to prescription painkillers, the tragedy of his son Gary and Dean Martin's son Dino, divorces, the acrimony of the act breaking up, the tearful reunions years later. Mr. Lewis is painfully honest, yet forgiving and compassionate in describing himself and all the others - giving us an open, often hilarious and sometimes teary behind-the scenes of two of the greatest names in comedy entertainment of our time. If you are younger than 40, you may not recognize many of the names, but that is a minor matter - you'll love this read anyway. Buy this audiobook. (I note there is an abridged version, but don't know why and haven't heard it. The unabridged is just over 8 hours to about 5 for the abridged. Get this one.)
"A fond remembrance"
The story of Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis, as only Jerry Lewis could tell it.
Along with the great anecdotes, and the meteoric rise and fall of their partnership and what made it work so well for 10 years, Jerry tells about Dino's real unrecognized comic genius, long overlooked by the critics until Dino and Jer went solo. It takes a real genius to play the straight man, and Dino was every bit as good as George Burns in that regard.
A must listen for fans of classic comedians and especially Martin & Lewis.
"before you purchase!!!"
Please..get the unabridged version, if only for the narrator, Stephen Hoye-he is magnificent and brings the characters to life, especially Jerry. Now that I've purchased and listened,curiosity led me back to the narrator sample of the abridged vesion. Suffice to say, I made the correct choice.
"A different sort of love story"
This really is a love story. Jerry Lewis speaks reverently and with great affection for his long time partner and good friend Dean Martin. From their humble beginnings to the height of their popularity in the 1950's to the tragic break ten years after they teamed up, Lewis hits all the highs and lows with vivid portraits, humerous anecdotes and most importantly a touching and loving portrait of the complex man that was Dean Martin. While Lewis is not at all modest (he seems to take credit for most of their successes), he still cops to his own demons and the effect they had on the partnership.It is so emotional at times this listener found herself in tears listening to the loss and pain the break brought both stars. Peppered with portraits of famous stars, mobsters and studio bossess, and narrated with an uncanny similarity to Lewis' voice,This audiobook is among my favorites, and it is a timely and lovely tribute to the great Dino.
"Fabulous review of a Golden Age"
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. What a golden time - 1946-1956 - and what a pair of performers. The book content was very interesting and the reader's voice capabilities added to the enjoyment. He came close to sounding like Jerry and Dean when he read their parts. I highly recommend the book to almost anyone but the strong language made it impossible for me to recommend it to my 89 year old mother.
"Ten Stars!"
I loved this book! I have always been a fan of the Lewis and Martin team but this book gave them heart and soul. Jerry Lewis does not shy away from stating his love for Dean and there was nothing phony about his approach to their story. I've listened to it several times now and still think it is great. The narrator uses his voice beautifully to reflect accents and emotions throughout the book. Many thumbs up!
"Great Book!"
Whether you just love Dean Martin's songs, have been captured by his persona or just want to know more about Dean and Jerry, this is a must hear. The book is very well done and provides information on Jerry and Dean's relationship from a suprising prespective. You will laugh, you will be surprised and you will cry. It well worth reading!
"Great Purchase"
After checking out reviews and comments, I decided on the unabridged version because the fellow that narrates, Stephen Hoye, does a wonderful job of catching Jerry & Dean's personality. This audio book is definitely a Jerry Lewis driven vehicle. He, with the help of James Kaplan, wrote this in 2005, well after Dean's death, so obviously, Martins not around to confirm nor deny anything said here but I have no doubt that this is the way Jerry remembers their time together.
Lewis mainly covers the 10 years they were partners, the families, Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr, The Rat Pack, Mafia, Vegas, The Cabana and other major clubs of the time, the unavoidable Martin & Lewis break up, reunion on the 1976 Telethon that Frank Sinatra orchestrated without Jerry's knowledge, Dean's son's death and eventually the death of Dean himself. Much more then I'm willing to take the time to type.
I can sense Jerry's extreme love for Dean throughout, his bitterness of how not only the partnership but also the friendship dissolved, his jealousy of Dean's wife and how, even though I don't think the author himself sees it this way but I sure do, how toward the end of the partnership Dean must have felt Jerry to be a big pain in his you know what. My own personal thought is that Lewis smothered the guy.
Listen and let me know if you feel the same way.
Titled correctly, this is what I believe to be a true love story between these fellows. Jerry Lewis loved Dean Martin. PERIOD!, and if a fan, you'll love this audio book.
What an interesting and wonderfully done memoir. Some audiobooks, I find myself drifting away, but not this one. This one had my undivided attention throughout the whole book. Well worth listening to.
"Great Book"
Enjoyed this book very much, more about the story of two friends that became too successful and forgot how they got there. The history and show biz names made this a very enjoyable and interesting listening experience.

UEStudio integrated development environment tour: output window
The UEStudio tour is intended to guide you through some of the advanced IDE features of the application. UEStudio includes all of the features of UltraEdit, the world's best text editor, which are not covered here.
UEStudio supports a tabbed output window with four different tabs allowing output to be written and stored separately without overwriting the results of previously run functions.
The advantage of the tabbed output window is that multiple functions may be executed and the dynamically generated output of these functions may be stored separately for future reference (during the active editing session).
All output will be written to the active window. So clicking on tab "1" and running a find in files would write the results of the find in files command to the output window associated with tab "1". Clicking on tab "3" and building the active project would cause the STDOUT and STDERR output (depending on compiler settings) to be written to the output window associated with tab "3".

Misfitsis one of those shows that isn't easily explained, but once you get into it, it's extremely addictive. It's about a group of young people who, while performing community service at a community center in South East London, are all struck by lightning in a freak storm that leaves them with a variety of strange superpowers. Since they're all incompetent, their powers are hardly used for good, and they end up leaving a rather large trail of dead people in their paths, mostly in the form of their many probation workers. But they're good kids, though, really!
And they're not the only ones who were left with powers in the storm, so often times they're forced to save the day from mishaps due to others using their powers with not-so-good intentions. Throw in lots of dark, raunchy, sometimes disgusting humor, a tortured love story between the two most unlikely characters, and fabulous comedic relief provided by Joe Gilgun's Rudy Wade, and you've got an interesting and highly entertaining show.

The only common element of the commercial interiors that designer KYLA COBURN comes up with is their stunning visual imagination. The Art Nouveau painted wall panels in the restarant Loie Fuller's are colorful and sensual, enclosed by sinuous mahogany loops. Equally ornate are the backlit stylized nudes above the bar and the carved wood walls in the Avery. In contrast are such spaces as the Middle Eastern décor of the Nara hookah lounge, but especially the chic sophistication of the bar at Sona Lounge, glowing hot pink, with small yellow globes hanging randomly above red bar stools that look like licking tongues. The work of third-generation RISD grad Coburn has made more than art galleries worth stepping into and looking around. | 64 Eagle Street, Providence | 401.480.5082 | kylacoburndesigns.com

Pixar's Brave The first film in Pixar's 17-year history to star a female protagonist, Brave earned the top spot at the box office last weekend with earnings of $66.7 million. While ingenious animation continues to fuel the studio's "unmatched" box office track record, Manohla Dargis points out in The New York Times that the filmmakers could have been, well, braver in imagining their first female-led storyline.
Tesla's Model S Tesla began delivering its Model S, "the world's first premium electric sedan," to retail customers last Friday. At $49,000 (with a $7,500 tax credit), the model is significantly less expensive than its predecessor, the Roadster ($109,000). With its sleek, elegant design, 17-inch center console touchscreen, and lower center of gravity, the Model S is the first electric car that's as much—or more—about the car as it is about the engine, and it could be poised to bolster the entire electric-vehicle industry.
Flipboard and The New York Times The Times announced Monday that it will make articles available on Flipboard, a social magazine app that allows users to share news content, in a partnership that will split ad revenue. The move, which is part of the Times's "NYT Everywhere" strategy to expand its reach via third-party platforms, reflects a shift away from the scarcity model traditional media have been replicating online toward a model that recognizes that users are discovering content in new ways.
