|Classic tuna salad mixture of tuna, hard boiled eggs, green onion, celery, pickles and dressed with mustard and mayonnaise.
Tuna and Egg SaladNow honestly, I guess I wouldn't generally post about making egg salad, or here, tuna & egg salad. Or, maybe I would {scratches head} dunno... but, it gives me an opportunity to tell y'all about my electronic rice cooker - so I figured what the heck.
Can you believe that I'm just now gettin' around to trying out steaming hard boiled (hmm... if they're steamed, I suppose they're not really hard-boiled now are they? but hard-steamed sounds, well, goofy. Oh well, anyway...) eggs?! I'm really liking this little cooker I tell ya. It is Lent afterall and I'm tryin' to do my best to stay away from meat on Fridays and so, I wanted some tuna & egg salad for lunch. But, then ... I got to wondering ...
I know. I'm such a deep thinker.
But seriously, as I was puttin' mine together, which I always do the same way, all the time, all my life, I got to really wondering how do other people make their tuna salad? Afterall, folks do land here from the interwebs looking for recipes for egg salad and tuna salad.
I think when I make a big batch of hard-cooked eggs, this cooker is gonna be my new favorite way to do them! So, here's how I do my tuna & egg salad.
How do you do yours? Are you a sweet pickle person? Or a dill pickle person? Or ... no pickles at all person?

PANAMA CITY— Daily and monthly trolley passes could run a few dollars more if a rate hike is approved next month.
The Bay County Transportation Planning Organization (TPO) will vote on what could be the Bay Town Trolley's third fare increase in five years.
If passed, the single-ride rate would remain the same — $1.50 or 75 cents for students, seniors and those with disabilities — but daily passes would increase from $3 to $5, and 31-day monthly passes would increase from $30 to $40, according to a public notice. The rate change would take effect March 1.
Robert Mahan, senior planner for Bay County TPO, said they try to avoid rate hikes, but sometimes it's a necessary request.
"If we don't bump the fees up, then we're likely to run a deficit," he said.
The rate increase also would hedge against future gas price fluctuations. Right now gas is cheaper than a year ago, Mahan said,but the rate increase would add another layer of protection.
Mahan was uncertain what theTPO will decide when they vote at its Feb. 20 meeting, but he said past rate increases — requested in 2009 and 2011 — were granted.
In 2009, the monthly pass increased from $20 to $25. In 2011, the monthly pass again increased from $25 to $30.
Ridership impact
Recent data show the second hike appeared to hurt ridership. Santa Ynez Valley Transportation Services, which operates the trolley, released data showing a drop-off between 2011 and 2012. The trolley provided 783,550 total rides in 2011 and just 778,444 total rides in 2012 — a decrease of 5,106.
Monthly pass sales also decreased. The trolley sold 8,255 monthly passes in 2011 and 6,732 monthly passes in 2012. But for daily passes, where rates were unchanged, sales went up — 59,332 in 2011 and 69,259 in 2012.
Bay County Commissioner Mike Nelson, who chairs the TPO, said he's concerned about losing riders due to fare increases. He said he especially is worried about low income riders for whom the trolley is their primary transportation.
"I certainly don't want to lose their ridership because we raised the price," he said.
Nelson said he wants to hear what the presenters say at the meeting before he comes to any conclusions. He was adamant he didn't want to lose riders but said he was willing to listen to their recommendations.
"If they're going to lose money, then I think we're going to have to look at it," he said.
Before 2012, ridership had steadily increased, even after the 2009 rate hike, according to the National Transit Database. The number of rides was 420,800 in 2008, 670,573 in 2009 and 724,613 in 2010, according to the database.
Fare revenue increased consistently those years but only accounted for a fraction of operating expenses. The trolley receives local, state and federal dollars to cover the difference.
In 2011 fare revenues only accounted for 18 percent of the trolley's operating expenses. Fares generated $511,778, but operating expenses were $2,850,940, according to the database. In 2008, fares accounted for 22 percent of operating expenses. Fares generated $265,721, but operating expenses were $1,212,108.
Mahan said the rate hike request is only for daily and monthly passes because they are "significantly less" than what's charged in comparable areas such as Fort Walton Beach, Gainesville, Pensacola and Tallahassee.
Increasing public transportation rates has been the trend around the nation and some have even been forced to cut services, Mahan said, but that won't happen with the trolley. "We want to avoid fare increases if at all possible, but on the other hand costs are increasing and sometimes we have no choice."

Earning Their Hatred
Thank God for elections and election years. An election gives our president, who must face the voters in November, permission to think and act like a partisan. It's long overdue.
President Obama has boldly made key recess appointments to the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) and to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB). The Republican strategy has been to destroy these agencies by failing to confirm appointees. In the case of the new CFPB, that meant nobody in charge to make key decisions to make the new bureau operational. In the case of the NLRB, it meant the lack of a quorum would paralyze the agency altogether.
In naming Richard Cordray to head the CFPB, the president has called the Republicans' bluff. This was the agency that Elizabeth Warren invented and dearly hoped to lead. Republicans made clear they would block her appointment. When Obama passed her over in favor of the less-well-known Cordray, former Ohio Attorney General and also a strong consumer advocate, Republicans blocked his confirmation, too.
The selection of Cordray, an activist very much in the spirit of Warren, is in many ways a tribute to her leadership in fighting both for a strong consumer protection agency and a strong leader to head it. Cordray is that leader. Consumers will finally have an agency to keep watch for abuses that do not only harm small borrowers but aggregate to major threats to the financial system. Had there been a consumer bureau in the Warren spirit a decade ago, it would have noticed that sub-prime loans were not only ripping off homeowners but threatening to take down the economy.
In the case of the NLRB, the agency, which protects the right of workers to organize or join a union free from employer harassment, would have been totally paralyzed. The Republicans said as much. Here's what Obama said, in naming Richard Griffin, Sharon Block, and Terrence Flynn to vacant seats on the NLRB:
When Congress refuses to act and as a result hurts our economy and puts people at risk, I have an obligation as President to do what I can without them. I have an obligation to act on behalf of the American people. I will not stand by while a minority in the Senate puts party ideology ahead of the people they were elected to serve. Not when so much is at stake. Not at this make-or-break moment for the middle class.
Well said. These actions define a president who is leading, not searching for futile compromises. It exposes both the Republican obstructionism, the unprecedented tactic of destroying agencies by refusing to allow confirmations, as well as the Republican hostility to agencies that defend regular Americans against powerful corporate elites.
Predictably, the Republicans, having invented new forms of obstructionism such as the use of the filibuster on ordinary legislation and not special cases, as well of refusal to consent to routine extension of the debt ceiling, now cry foul when Obama uses a constitutional provision, the recess appointment, which has been conventional for presidents of both parties. Their contrivance of a fake nominal session when Congress is actually in recess is shameless. They more of a fuss they make, the more they out themselves as defenders of the one percent.
As in the case of the extension of the payroll tax cut, this conciliatory president seems to be warming to the concept of maximizing partisan advantage, particularly when the Republicans hand him opportunities on a platter. Just to make sure that message did not lost, Obama chose Cordray's hard-pressed home state of Ohio for his announcement of the appointment, and painted Republican obstructionists as allies of Wall Street.
The citizenry loves a fighter far more than a punching bag. The right hates Obama. In the spirit of Franklin Roosevelt, he might as well earn that hatred.

Will you still cheer when a Republican President bypasses congress to appoint an unelected hack with power to decide your future? Will you still cheer when a Republican President bypasses congress to start bombing a sovereign nation. Your shortsightedness is breathtaking.

What a partisan hack piece.
Democratic Board Stuffing >> Rule of law.
This is just B.S! Democrats started the mock sessions to prevent Bush recess appointments (with the support of Senator Obama) and now cannot abide the same standard applied to them.

"The president has the power to use his recess appointments. That's politics. Deal with it."
No one disputes that the president has this power, WHEN SENATE IS IN RECESS. They were not in recess, and Obama bypassed them anyway. And before you say that the pro-forma session they were in was a sham, this was an invention of Harry Reid, used by then Senator Obama, to obstruct Bush's appointees. That's right, Democrats came up with the "obstruction" initially.
The major difference of course is that Bush didn't do an end run around our laws and houses of government, and dealt with the obstruction. After all, back when Bush was president, votes mattered. The way we are heading with this administration, Elvis Presley and Mickey Mouse's votes are the ones that matter.
Thu, 2012-01-05 16:32
"...the Republican hostility to agencies that defend regular Americans against powerful corporate elites."
The problem is that "regular Americans" need at least as much defence from "powerful governmental elites" as they do from corporations--and at least corporations can't throw you in gaol for disagreeing with them.
All forms of power are prone to corruption and abuse, and it doesn't matter in the least whether it's the power of government or the power of corporations. And when those concentrations of power collude--"crony capitalism"--all of us "regular Americans" are in serious trouble.
Thu, 2012-01-05 16:42
Obama more and more is choosing to act like a Hugo Chavez style left wing dictator. Not really a surprise after all of his wistful comments about not having to bother with Congress like the dictators in Communist China. And who knows? If Obama and Holder get their way on IDs allowing millions of illegal immigrants to vote in 2012 he might even manage to steal a Presidential election like a left wing dictator. However, the extreme left should consider, as they cheer our Dear Leader onward as he voids the Constitution, is that all anything any of these illegal recess appointees do is going to be subject to legal challenge since Congress wasn't in recess when they were appointed, and Obama did not have the advise and consent of the Senate to appoint them. And more importantly if the courts do uphold the appointments than the extreme left should consider that a future Republican President will be able to choose to do the exact same thing essentially wiping out the advise and consent provision of the Contitution! What comes around goes around!
Thu, 2012-01-05 17:34
Valwayne, brilliant post. Obama is America's own Caudillo and if he had his way he would turn America into a bannana republic dictatorship. The left, under Obama, has unmasked itself as a self appointed cadre of specialists making an ever expanding number of decisions for American's that we should be making for ourselves. Whether it lightbulbs, the cars we drive or the food we eat the Nanny State under Obama is metastizing like a fast growing cancer.
Thu, 2012-01-05 23:41
Do you think the Govt. will 'shut down' when Obama doesn't get the money to fund his '180,000' Summer Jobs 'half-baked' plan? 110,000 'Work Opportunities' this summer will be UNPAID ... but surely there will be another 'Department' that 'We The Taxpayers' will PAY!! Obama is now getting either 'desperate' or 'dangerous' ... running around the Countryside like the 'Barnyard Rooster' .... thinking he is ABOVE THE LAW!!

"...the Republican hostility to agencies that defend regular Americans against powerful corporate elites."
This is of a kind with the creation of the DHS. We 'needed' homeland security because of the failures leading to its creation. But...were the agencies that now report to the DHS sec'y reformed? Were those responsible for the failures terminated? We still have a CIA, FBI, ATF...etc. Are there not consumer protection departments throughout state goverments? Why were they and their federal partners not reformed? And lastly...something that seems never to occur to liberals; What if those we want protection from...are FROM the government?
Thu, 2012-01-05 17:31
Problem with Obama's appointment was that the Senate was still in session. Harry Reid used this tactic many times to thrwart George Bush's recess appointments. This is very likely to be thrown out of court. Another unnecessary in your face move by Obama, if he had waited a few more weeks when Congress was in recess he could have made the move with no pushback and no legal challenge. The GOP has another issue with the new agency and that is it is independently funded. This is unprecedented; Congress has the power of the purse and the Dems were dead wrong in making this new agency unaccountable to Congress. I thought the Genius Obama was a Constitutional Scholar?
Kizar Sozay
Thu, 2012-01-05 17:36
This article commences by stating this is a recess appointment. It is not.
Then it contends the agency will be hamstrung without the appointment. The agency actually does not exist and is not funded until an appoinment is made. Lastly, Obama is applauded for asserting he has an obligation to act without Congress because its the moral thing to do. Please, someone show me where the executive office is granted that privilege.
As to whether this is a recess appointment, let's ask Supreme Court Justice and former Solicitor General to Hugo...I mean Barrack Obama.
"Although a President may fill such vacancies through the use of his recess appointment power … the Senate may act to foreclose this option by declining to recess for more than two or three days at a time over a lengthy period. For example, the Senate did not recess intrasession for more than three days at a time for over a year beginning in late 2007."
Solicitor General Elena Kagan, April 26, 2010
Obama is happy to work with Congress when they agree with him. When they don't that pesky Constitution is no barrier.

It will be very 'interesting' to see how much 'Obama' get's accomplished between now & November 2012.... He's broken the very law that he signed... The DODD-FRANK Bill, that establishes the Consumer Protection Board, has it written into the law that the Director MUST BE CONFIRMED BY CONGRESS.... This was designed to be a 'Board' with oversight from Congress, but now Mr. Cordray will answer to NO ONE!! NO OVERSIGHT whatsoever, and he'll work for the TREASURY DEPT... Wow, how nice, no oversight... get ready for FINANCIAL COLLAPSE!! This just completes OBAMA's 'New World Order' and he will be DICTATOR... Welcome to the U.S.S.A.
When there is a 'Republican President', the Democrats will see how it feels to be circumvented ... In the meantime, Obama is getting BOLDER ... and more DANGEROUS.... Keep the powder dry folks... it's coming to a revolution soon!!
Fri, 2012-01-06 00:25
Obviously, Kuttner is an ill-informed partisan hack. The relevant statute specifically says that the the Treasury Secretary will be the head of the agency until a new head is confirmed by the Senate. A recess appointment is not a Senate confirmation. (Sorry.) But then maybe we are playing under Chicago Rules.
Fri, 2012-01-06 01:58
FDR at least sought Senate confirmation when packing the Supreme Court, and did not get it. I do not think the NLRB should be paralysed and I can imagine it possible that the Consumer agency might do some little good, but it's purvue is unimportant, especially compared to the Constitution, which this stunt clearly violates. What is next, burglary and tanks in the streets of America, as I saw under Mr. Nixon? Come on! Since when does the End justify any means imaginable...

I applaud President Obama for his leadership at a time when our country needs someone like him who is not intimidated by the dictates of the Republican party, especially those neoconservatives, whose only interest is their own aggrandisement, They have forgotten the people from main street, after they have been elected to office.
Sat, 2012-01-07 04:27
Thank God amighty! He finally is using the Republicans' own dirty tricks to beat them at their own game. After spending my entire vacation leave in '08 knocking on doors for him in Cleveland, I was beginning to think I'd wasted all that effort. It's starting to pay off. But I'll keep watching ... now we need to pass the Social Security "pop the cap" effort, and the Employee Free Choice Act.

Tip: FAFSA is asking that students and parents who file taxes use the IRS Data Retrieval Option. Once you have filed your taxes electronically you must 2-3 weeks for the information to be available via this option. If you mail in your tax return you must at least 6 weeks before your tax information will be available via this option. Using this option will GREATLY reduce your risk of being chosen for the verification process.
Tip: Make sure that you are entering the correct Social Security numbers for everyone involved. Giving an incorrect Social Security number can result in the rejection of your FAFSA and considerable time delays.
Go to www.fafsa.ed.gov to submit your financial aid application. Once there click on Start Here. Then follow the instructions.

Tip: You must choose the FAFSA application for the correct aid year. If you are unsure which one you need to fill out consult a financial aid representative at the college you plan to attend.
Contact the financial aid office at the campus you wish to attend about 3-5 business days after you have submitted your FAFSA to make sure we have received your application and to determine if you have been selected for verification. If you are selected for verification, additional documents will be needed. You will receive a Student Aid Report via email at the email address your provide on the FAFSA. This report will tell you what your expected family contribution is and if you have been chosen for verification.
Tip: If there is an asterisk (*) next to your expected family contribution then you have been chosen for verification.

You know, I sometimes wonder if scores will get the kind of recognition, and respect, in decades and centuries to come, that classical composers of the past get.
I mean, there really isn't a fundamental difference there. When you get right down to it, alot of the classical compositions themselves were, in a way, scores. Either to books, to events in someone's life, or some narrative that existed in the composers' minds.

The organization of structure arguably begins at the stellar level, though most cosmologists rarely address astrophysics on that scale. Stars are organised into galaxies, which in turn form clusters and superclusters that are separated by immense voids. Prior to 1989, it was commonly assumed that virialized galaxy clusters were the largest structures in existence, and that they were distributed more or less uniformly throughout the universe in every direction. However, based on redshift survey data, in 1989 Margaret Geller and John Huchra discovered the "Great Wall," a sheet of galaxies more than 500 million light-years long and 200 million wide, but only 15 million light-years thick. The existence of this structure escaped notice for so long because it requires locating the position of galaxies in three dimensions, which involves combining location information about the galaxies with distance information from redshifts. In April 2003, another large-scale structure was discovered, the Sloan Great Wall. However, technically it is not a 'structure', since the objects in it are not gravitationally related with each other but only appear this way, caused by the distance measurement that was used. One of the biggest voids in space is the Capricornus void, with an estimated diameter of 230 million light years. In August 2007, a possible supervoid was detected in the constellation Eridanus. It coincides with the 'WMAP Cold Spot', a cold region in the microwave sky that is highly improbable under the currently favored cosmological model. This supervoid could cause the cold spot, but to do so it would have to be improbably big, possibly a billion light-years across.
In more recent studies the universe appears as a collection of giant bubble-like voids separated by sheets and filaments of galaxies, with the superclusters appearing as occasional relatively dense nodes. This network is clearly visible in the 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey. In the figure a 3-D reconstruction of the inner parts of the survey is shown, revealing an impressive view on the cosmic structures in the nearby universe. Several superclusters stand out, such as the Sloan Great Wall, the largest structure in the universe known to date.
The "End of Greatness" is an observational scale discovered at roughly 100 Mpc (roughly 300 million lightyears) where the lumpiness seen in the large-scale structure of the universe is Homogeneous and isotropized as per the Cosmological Principle. The superclusters and filaments seen in smaller surveys are randomized to the extent that the smooth distribution of the universe is visually apparent. It wasn't until the redshift surveys of the 1990s were completed that this scale could accurately be observed.
Another indicator of large-scale structure is the 'Lyman alpha forest'. This is a collection of absorption lines which appear in the spectral lines of light from quasars, which are interpreted as indicating the existence of huge thin sheets of intergalactic (mostly hydrogen) gas. These sheets appear to be associated with the formation of new galaxies.
Some caution is required in describing structures on a cosmic scale because things are not always as they appear to be. Bending of light by gravitation (gravitational lensing) can result in images which appear to originate in a different direction from their real source. This is caused by foreground objects (such as galaxies) curving the space around themselves (as predicted by general relativity), deflecting light rays that pass nearby. Rather usefully, strong gravitational lensing can sometimes magnify distant galaxies, making them easier to detect. Weak lensing (gravitational shear) by the intervening universe in general also subtly changes the observed large-scale structure. In 2004, measurements of this subtle shear show considerable promise as a test of cosmological models.
The large-scale structure of the Universe also looks different if one only uses redshift to measure distances to galaxies. For example, galaxies behind a galaxy cluster will be attracted to it, and so fall towards it, and so be slightly blueshifted (compared to how they would be if there were no cluster); on the near side, things are slightly redshifted. Thus, the environment of the cluster looks a bit squashed if using redshifts to measure distance. An opposite effect works on the galaxies already within the cluster: the galaxies have some random motion around the cluster centre, and when these random motions are converted to redshifts, the cluster will appear elongated. This creates what is known as a finger of God: the illusion of a long chain of galaxies pointed at the Earth.
The Great Attractor, discovered in 1986, lies at a distance of between 150 million and 250 million light-years (250 million is the most recent estimate), in the direction of the Hydra and Centaurus constellations. In its vicinity there is a preponderance of large old galaxies, many of which are colliding with their neighbours, and/or radiating large amounts of radio waves.
There is much work in cosmology which attempts to model the large-scale structure of the universe. Using the big bang model and assumptions about the type of matter that makes up the universe, it is possible to predict the expected distribution of matter, and by comparison with observation work backward to support and refute certain cosmological theories. Currently, observations indicate that most of the mass in the universe must be composed of cold dark matter. Models which assume hot dark matter or baryonic dark matter do not provide a good fit with observations. The irregularities in the cosmic microwave background radiation and high redshift supernovae give complementary approaches to constraining the same models, and there is a growing consensus that these approaches together are giving evidence that we live in an accelerating universe.

Try this fountain of youth for your pet
The secret to helping your dog or cat live longer is really a lot easier than you might think, a leading veterinarian says.
Many pet owners use special diets, vitamins and supplements that promise to bring longevity, but your pet's chances of living a long, full life have a lot more to do with what you don't do than what you do, according to Dr. Jan Bellows, a diplomat of the American Veterinary Dental College and the American Board of Veterinary Practitioners.Story continues below----------------------------------------------------------------------
A book about a rescue dog
that will touch your heartTHE HUNT OF HER LIFE, a full-color book by newspaper journalist and MySetterSam.com publisher Joseph A. Reppucci, is must reading for animal lovers of all ages. It has 60 color photos of dogs to illustrate the compelling story of Samantha, an unwanted rescue dog adopted at age 2 by Mr. Reppucci. Travel with them along a trail of life filled with surprising twists, sudden turns, mystery and even what some call a miracle. And when the journey is finished, you may never look at people and their pets, motherhood - and perhaps even God - in the same way. THE HUNT OF HER LIFE will take you on a captivating journey - a trip like no other - that will touch your heart.

Many pet parents fail to use products to control disease-carrying insects - such as fleas, mosquitoes and ticks - or fail to keep a pet's teeth clean, which in many cases can cause a pet's premature death from an easily preventable illness, Dr. Bellows says.
"Preventative care can be a lifesaver for most pets," Dr. Bellows states in a media release. "General, specialty and emergency veterinary clinics see cases brought in that could have been easily prevented."
Preventing disease associated with dental problems and insects - as well as making sure a quality diet and regular exercise - are just as important as medicine or even emergency care for helping pets lead long, healthy lives, Dr. Bellows states.
According to Dr. Bellows, who specializes in the treatment of small animals at a clinic in Weston, Florida, the six leading problems that are easily preventable involve dental disease, heartworm and tick-borne disease, obesity, obstructions and vaccinations.Oral disease and gingivitis can lead to bad breath as well as tooth decay and loss. Also, bacteria from the diseased teeth can spread throughout the bloodstream and damage organs like the heart and kidneys, especially in an older dog. Regular care of a dog's teeth will prevent all kinds of dental disease.
Dental diseaseTick-borne diseases
All tick-borne diseases come from a tick attaching itself to a dog and spreading a disease through its saliva. The diseases can cause lameness, lethargy, sickness, and as they advance: neurological problems, kidney disease, and bleeding disorders.By simply applying a monthly flea-and-tick control product and regularly inspecting your dog for ticks, these diseases can be prevented.Heartworm
Heartworms are spread by mosquitoes. Once a dog is infected, if it is not on heartworm medication, the worms will begin to grow and find their way into the dog's heart. They will multiply and develop, blocking the heart, changing the blood flow and destroying the organ. Treatment is expensive and dangerous, especially if the case is advanced, and some dogs die from it.Prevention of heartworms is simple. Monthly preventive medication stops any heartworms from developing.Weight woes
The most common culprits are diet and lack of exercise. Low-value dog foods that are high in carbohydrates and grains, table scraps and too many treats help to pack on the pounds. Dogs also are leading more sedentary lifestyles. They need daily exercise for weight maintenance and overall well-being. Many behavioral issues stem from a lack of exercise. Feeding a high-quality dog food coupled with daily walks and exercise appropriate to your dog helps to prevent a myriad or problems like diabetes, joint pain, and stress on the heart and other organs.Swallowing objects and obstruction
Obstructions occur when a dog has ingested items such as socks, cardboard, towels, clothing and stuffing out of toys. These items become lodged in the dog's intestines, and it quickly becomes an emergency situation requiring surgery. Never leave items lying on the floor and give your dog appropriate chew toys.More reports about dogs and health:

VaccinationsDogs should begin receiving shots at age 8 weeks old and continue through 20 weeks of age.
This initial shot schedule provides protection from a number of diseases that can be life-threatening, like Parvo. Vaccinations should be boosted every year or as recommended by your veterinarian.
Never leave your dog without being vaccinated. Doing so greatly increases his chances of catching a highly contagious, deadly illness, like Parvo. A dog will quickly become sick after exposure. Treatment for Parvo is expensive and often unsuccessful.

Rajon Rondo
I'm tired of hearing these comparisons between Kobe and LeBron, when LeBron was still in primary school, Kobe was already playing in the NBA, so now when LeBron comes into the league you can't compare the nowadays Kobe to nowadays LeBron you have to compare nowadays LeBron to Kobe years ago.
Thats why i think LeBron has the potential to become the best player in the history of the NBA, Kobe will only play for another 3, 4 maybe 5 years in the nba, but lebron still has his entire career in front of him.
LeBron is my favorite player in the NBA because he works hard, he's passionate and he is not selfish with the ball
I like Lil' Nate.
Wow thanks for all the replies guys.
No doubt that boy Jrue! Play and look alike. Followed by Jameer Nelson, and cannot forget Melo!
My favorite nba player would be d.rose.I have never seen a player that can make crazy shots like that in the paint.#D.Rose is #1

New York Times Article on Battery Life; Includes Photos of the NXT
1) The primary drain on batteries is external heat (naturally).
2) Rechargeable batteries suffer significant power leakage, whether being used or not.
3) Alkaline batteries have less power leakage and last longer.
The article goes into detail about all types of battery usage and is well worth the read. Find it here.

For anyone considering purchasing the NXT Mindstorms kit, I always recommend buying rechargeable batteries. The article is quite correct when it suggests that the NXT drains batteries quickly.

There's one mistake in that article which states: Nickle-Metal Hydride (NiMH) batteries..."They can lose capacity if they are not discharged completely, often called the "memory effect."
The "memory effect" problem was with the even earlier gen of battery materials called Nickle-Cadmium (NiCad) batteries. The "memory effect" problem is not an issue with NiMH (or Li-ion, and LiPo (the NXT rechargeable pack)) batteries. NiCads should be charged and used-up almost immediately, discharged after each use or if you expect to store it half-charged. NiCads should be stored in a depleated state or the memory effect (loss of capacity) can happen. They just will not charge to full capacity. I have 20 yr. old NiCads still able to hold a charge after several thousand cycles. Over-discharging NiCad batteries will cause "cell polarity reversal" and render them useless (not a prob with NiMH, Li-ion, or LiPO). Some (now older) NiCad chargers had functions to Flex (burp) the battery back into condition and erase most of the memory-loss.
In my opinion, the LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT Rechargeable Battery Pack is a very good renewable power source for the NXT toolset and saves a huge amount money that would be spent on single-use non-rechargables.

There are change-retaining NIMH batteries that be stored for many month without losing much or their charge. See my post in the forum for more info.

After getting rechargeables, we'd never go back to the non-rechargeable kind.
However, we were in a Home Depot today and noticed they were selling a factory-sealed pack of thirty-six AA Energizers for $13.36US. That's an amazing price.
I don't know if the sale is nationwide or not, but it's worth a look if you're near one of their stores.

Andaman and Nicobar Islands are part of a string of about 500 tropical islands, which lie scattered halfway between Calcutta and the equator. The existence of these islands was first reported in the 9th century by Arab merchants, who sailed past them on their way to the straits of Sumatra.
The first western visitor was Marco Polo. The Marathas took over the islands in the late 17th century. In the early, 18th century, the islands were the base of Maratha admiral Kanhoji Angre, whose navy frequently captured British, Dutch and Portuguese merchant ships. Angre remained undefeated by the combined British / Portuguese naval task force, right up to his death in 1729.
Andaman and Nicobar Islands were finally annexed by the British in the 19th century and used as a penal colony for Indian freedom fighters. The colony was set up by Captain Archibald Blair of the Bombay Marine, who gave his name to the capital of the islands, Port Blair. During World War II the Japanese occupied the islands. After India gained independence in 1947, the islands were incorporated into the Indian Union.
Port Blair, is today, the pulse of the islands. Most tourists who visit begin their exploration from here. Port Blair extends around a harbour on the east coast of South Andaman, and is the most heavily populated of all the islands.
The one major landmark in Port Blair is the Cellular Jail. This seven-winged national monument tells tales of the torture of India's freedom fighters who were imprisoned within its walls. The islands were called 'Kalapani'-islands with 'black water', because of the blood that tainted its waters.
The Andamans are a paradise for ecologists and ornithologists, with 242 species of birds, 46 species of mammals and 78 species of reptiles-some of them rare and almost extinct. These birds and animals live in dense rain forests surrounded by mangroves that seem to become part of the sea.
The islands are also home to some of the oldest tribal communities in the world. Six recognized tribes inhabit the several islands. While members of some of the tribes venture into the city, others keep to their forests, and can be quite hostile.
Population: About 3,50,000
Climate: The daily temperature in the Andamans does not vary much throughout the year. It usually averages between 23°C to 30°C. There are two seasons - the wet, or monsoon season, from mid-May to mid-November, and the dry season, from mid-November to mid-May. Rainfall is heavy and, depending on the location, averages 264 to 437 cm annually.
Main Language(s): English Time Zone: GMT + 05:30 Phone Area Code: 03192
Best Time To Visit: The best time to visit is between November and mid-April.
Airport Distance from City Center: 4 kms Taxi Rates from Airport to City: Taxi service available at Rs. 50 per pax to city
The Cellular Jail
This museum is a reminder of the torture that India's freedom fighters suffered at the hands of the British. It had more than 600 cells, so prisoners would have absolutely no contact with one another.
The Beaches
For a day of swimming, and fun in the sun, Corbyn's Cove and Jolly Buoy are popular beaches. One can also snorkel and visit the underwater world as long as one wants.
Ross Island
Ross Island was once an exclusive preserve of the British who ruled from there for over 50 years. The ruins of bungalows, churches, ballrooms, bakeries, clubs and dungeons, are an interesting and intriguing experience. They relive the glory of early 20th-century colonial life. Early morning, Ross is a bird-watcher's paradise.
Viper Island
The Viper Island contains the dungeons and a natural 'amphitheatre'. Another picnic spot, it still has ruins of gallows as reminders of a grim past.
Havelock Island
A visit to the Havelock Island is a memorable experience. Its unspoilt and beautiful charm can take you back a hundred years.
Museum and Zoo
At the Anthropological Museum, Marine Museum, and the Mini Zoo, one can see a panorama of the life of the Paleolithic islanders, a display of marine life with sea crocodiles, dolphins, barracuda, and pearl oysters.
Harbour Cruises
A harbour cruise takes visitors around the South Andaman Island and offers a beautiful view of mangroves, rain forests and other delights of this living museum.
The Andamans even have their very own dormant volcano and those who have the courage and stamina to climb to its mouth on Barren Island never forget the sight of the lava inside or the hard lava-like rocks that make the climb a near impossibility.
Eating in Andaman and Nicobar Islands is a seafood lover's dream come true. You get an amazing variety of lobsters, shrimps and fish. Seafood cooked in coconut curries is particularly popular, as are the fried fish dishes. One of the most popular choices for a meal is the fish thali -a full meal with rice, Indian breads, vegetables and lots of delicious fish. If you're the adventurous kind, you might like to try the more gourmet seafood dishes.
If seafood is not really your scene, there are many restaurants that serve multi-cuisine food. There are also a whole lot of reasonable fast food restaurants that serve pizza, sandwiches, burgers, etc.

Q:I have medium brown hair, but my hair always pulls red when I dye it. Would Coco Noir be a better option than Marron or Brun b/c it is indigo based rather than a red base if I do not want to make my hair pull red?Asked on 6/16/2015 by Carey from Washington, DC
2 answers
A:Yes, definitely, because the indigo will make your hair blue black rather than brighten the reds.Answered on 6/19/2015 by Pauline
A:Yes, the Noir would give you the best results. My hair does the same thing when I try to dye it, but I've never ever had red results from the noir.

Q:My hair has been dyed many time before mostly unnatural colours. And right now I have a very short undercut with brassy blonde and my natural dark brown on the side and brassy blonde and silver on the top. Will the silver portion make the dye come out more blue-y?Asked on 4/28/2015 by Cayn
1 answer
A:The main henna in our Caca Noir is indigo, which will not work the best for blonde hair and will turn blondes into a greenish-blue hue. I would suggest a layering our hennas, starting with our Caca Rouge because it dyes blonde a lot better and then from there work your way to Caca Noir!Answered on 4/29/2015 by Pauline
Q:Does the henna used in these blocks contain metallic salts or any added ingredients?Asked on 3/12/2015 by Deanna
1 answer
A:Our Henna does not contain metallic salts. All of our ingredients are listed online, on each page for each product. There are no ingredients we use that are not listed on our website. Our Henna is super gentle and ultra nourishing!Answered on 3/21/2015 by Alexander from LUSH Direct
Q:i have black naturally curly hair. I have dyed my hair with henna in the past, and it relaxed my curls to the point of having bone straight hair for a year...is this product any different? has anyone with curly hair noticed a difference in their curl pattern?Asked on 3/11/2015 by curly sue
1 answer
A:Our Caca hair colors are actually specific recipe's that we have created that use Indigo Henna as a color ingredient. They are designed to be super gentle and hydrating on the hair. They do not claim to change the natural curl or shape of your hair in any way. The Henna will coat the hair, giving it a bit more volume but I can't say it will straighten or curl you hair with any confidence as it is not intended for this purpose.Answered on 3/21/2015 by Alexander from LUSH Direct
Q:After dying my hair with the henna, would I still be able to heat style it as normal? Would the henna affect the outcome?Asked on 3/4/2015 by Melanie from Webster, MA
1 answer
A:You're all good! Feel free to style as normal - your hair will be incredibly soft, shiny, and nourished, so go ahead and style away.Answered on 3/8/2015 by Meg from LUSH Direct
Q:My mother can't use hair dye products that has ammonia or such chemicals in it. Can you tell me if this product would be safe for her to use? she wants to try this but is wondering if it would be safe?Asked on 2/22/2015 by sabahkhan from Vienna, Virginia
2 answers
A:Henna is natural and doesn't have harsh chemicals like peroxide or ammonia, so it should be safe for anyone. Unless she's also allergic to an ingredient, then it should be fine. :)Answered on 3/21/2015 by Liv from Jacksonville, FL
A:All of our ingredients are listed online beside each product on the website. There are a tone of great nourishing and protecting ingredients in our Caca's that make the recipe's super effective. Ingredients like Fair Trade Organic Cocoa Butter and Irish Moss Powder. These recipes are super effective and gentle.Answered on 3/21/2015 by Alexander from LUSH Direct

A:No, our Caca Noir does not cover grays. Although, if you'd like to try our Caca Rouge that actually gives really amazing gray coverage, it will just be a bit of a process achieving a darker color, because you have to layer the hennas to get to your desired black hair.Answered on 2/14/2015 by Anonymous
A:It will have *an* effect, but not anything near the same effect as it would on hair that has not grayed. I think it's a combination of the loss of pigment and the change in texture that occurs with gray hairs, they are very tricky to color. I would definitely spot test it before applying it to your whole head. I know I have received samples of other products in store, but I am not sure if they offer it with this product- can't hurt to ask! I have tried all of the options, and all provide a light reddish effect on my grays. Caca rouge and caca maroon tend to be more orange, while caca brun and caca noir have a bit more brown to them (but not a lot).Answered on 2/5/2015 by Jaime from Seattle, WA
Q:Hello! My hair is naturally medium to dark brown with lighter ends from sun exposure. It's also very thin, but very long, probably a half inch past my elbows. I haven't dyed my hair in a long time so I want to try something new! I want to darken it up to almost black and I'd love to have the indigo-purple accent with it. I need to stay away from red! I read that the noir henna sometimes has a blue tint with dark hair, so I'm hoping this would be the best choice.
My question is, how much of it would I have to use with my hair length and texture to get it like this? And what tips should I do to aid in a darker and blue-purplish tint?Asked on 1/19/2015 by Kayla from Lafayette, IN
2 answers
A:I would suggest using 2 - 3 packages for hair of your length, it is hard to say exactly without seeing your exact hair thickness. I would always get the extra and air on the side of caution. The reason Caca Noir has such a lovely dark color is because we use indigo. Indigo develops through oxidization, so instead of wrapping your hair in plastic (like we recommend with the reds) you should have it exposed to the air as much as possible. I even suggest moving it around to let it air out in other sections as it develops.
As with any henna color, to get it's deepest shades possible you can layer it. So if you want your hair to be darker after the initial application, don't be scared to layer on another one to get the effect you are looking for.Answered on 3/21/2015 by Lana from LUSH Direct
A:Hey! I have long hair (about to my waist) and I had never dyed my hair before... My hair is dark but I wanted that indigo look and to kind of get some good color out of it (more depth) so I used the Noir. I used a whole block... it was kind of messy, so definitely be prepared to clean up after, but it works amazing. Looooove the color. I left it in for about 8 hours (slept with it wraped) and since it was wrapped it didn't oxidize as much as I wanted and it ended up just black with a teeny bit of blue/red hue in bright light, but more black than anything. I am going to use another block tomorrow to get the indigo affect I wanted and to condition my hair. The smell is VERY strong, but herbal-y and I like it... but it's very strong. If you want blue; keep it unwrapped and keep it in for a good long while. It's really conditioning and made my hair super shiny and strong.Answered on 2/16/2015 by Michele from St. Louis, MO

Q:I dyed my hair with Caca Noir and liked it a lot. However, I want to go darker. How long do I have to wait to use the henna again? Can I do it right away?Asked on 11/29/2014 by Cats from Philadelphia
3 answers
A:Our Henna is safe and gentle to use daily if you really wanted to do so. If you want it darker then you will have to keep reapplying henna until the desired effect is achieved.Answered on 12/3/2014 by Jenean from LUSH DIRECT
A:you can use it again the next day even if you feel you need to go darker.
It is all natural so you're not hurting your hair.Answered on 12/1/2014 by Anonymous
A:I've heard that you cannot use permanent dyes after a henna dye-job but,
unfortunately, I'm not sure if another coat of henna would damage your
hair. If you know anyone who has some experience with hair/cosmetology, I
would ask them for a more definite answer!Answered on 11/29/2014 by Anonymous
Q:I tried henna (caca noir) on my hair about 4 months ago. How long do I have to wait before I chemically dye it? I don't want to go lighter, just a dark color to cover my grays. I contacted a couple salons, and they said they will not dye a hair that's henna treated. Is there any chemical dye in particular that I should stay away from?Asked on 9/26/2014 by LEA from Seattle, WA
3 answers
A:Former cosmetologist here. I'm actually reading the reviews because I'd like to switch to henna rather than chemical as well. Here's the story with Salons not wanting to mess with it. They teach us (probably within the first few weeks of school) that Chemical hair color used on top of METALLIC dyes can (and via chemistry class style demonstration) actually combust. Now, that demo was literally a strand of hair that was colored with metallic dye and then immediately saturated with chemical color. HOWEVER! The LUSH henna does not appear to actually contain the metallic elements that cause this. I suggest doing a thorough strand test on the most recently colored section of your hair first. Get a cheap box of color (usually the harshest), cut a good strand of hair, soak it in the color for at least 30 min, rinse and dry and if that doesn't damage it, you should be fine. (Just throw out that box color after the strand test though, don't actually use that mess on your hair.) Hope this helps!Answered on 5/6/2015 by Chriss from Charlotte, NC
A:As far as I am aware of, there is no particular chemical dye that you should stay away from. I would suggest waiting about 4 to 8 weeks before using any chemical dye.Answered on 9/28/2014 by Anonymous
A:I can't imagine why the salons had that response. LUSH henna is excellent
for your hair and leaves it in better condition if anything, I have gone
back and forth between the henna and chemical dyes from a box, done at
home, to cover the stubborn grays and I have never had any kind of
reaction. I use Natural Instincts. I really wish I needed nothing but the
LUSH, which is how it used to be, but as I have gotten older, I find the
grays are VERY stubborn.Answered on 9/27/2014 by Nanote from Upstate NY
Q:My hair is dark brown with reddish highlights (natural) I've used the Brun henna and it was a lovely rich brown.I wanted something a bit darker but not black. Can I mix the noir and Brun to achieve this if so what ratio Brun to noir? I have thick hair a few inches past my shoulders (bra band.length) thank you!Asked on 9/15/2014 by Shi from san antonio tx
1 answer
A:You can absolutely combine the two for a darker brown. As far as the ratio goes, I would recommend doing a test strand with a 50-50 mix and take it from there! If the strand is a tad on the lighter side, add more black. If it turns out too dark, add more brown! It's also important to remember that henna will naturally obtain richer hues as it oxidizes a couple days after the treatment.Answered on 9/25/2014 by Rene from LUSH Direct
Q:My hair is about 2-3 inches below my shoulder, how much of this should i use?Asked on 7/31/2014 by meredith

Q:Can this be used to dye eyebrows as well?Asked on 7/24/2014 by Annie

Q:Hi, I have light brown hair (it has a little red in it) and I'd really like to get my hair to a dark black. Is my hair too light for the dye to make such a drastic change? Would it require multiple dye jobs?Asked on 7/21/2014 by Victoria from Houston, TX
1 answer
A:It may require a couple of treatments in order to get the results you are looking for, as the Caca Noir tends to intensify and build each time you use it. We would suggest doing a strand test ahead of time to make sure you are happy with the results!Answered on 9/25/2014 by Melissa S from LUSH Direct
Q:I'm African-American with chemically relaxed hair that is naturally a dark brown but nearly black. What henna dye would be the best option to achieve a warm brown hue on my hair?Asked on 6/25/2014 by AmandaPanda from Davie, FL
1 answer
A:Henna works to add color to the hair, but unfortunately, won't lighten the hair at all. If you are looking to go from a darker color to a lighter one, henna won't likely give you the results you are looking for. By using the Caca Brun, you will likely just notice a little more shine to the hair, and perhaps a subtle difference in the sunlight.Answered on 9/25/2014 by Melissa S from LUSH Direct
Q:I have hair that goes to my knees and is fairly thick and naturally soft black...my question is, how much will I need to cover that much hair? I typically use about 3 or 4 bottles of chemical dye when I color my hair but I'm trying to get away from chemicals and find something that will actually cover the grey that's been popping up lately. HELPAsked on 5/25/2014 by Doaner from COLORADO
2 answers
A:You will likely need at least two full bars of the henna, maybe even a little bit more depending on the thickness. It is probably best to purchase three, and you are always more than welcome to return the third if you don't end up using it.Answered on 9/25/2014 by Melissa S from LUSH Direct
A:Wow, I don't think I've ever seen anyone with hair to their knees! To be
perfectly honest, and even though I am a hugh LUSH fan, I think it may be
very difficult to cover that much hair with this henna. I too have and
still use chemical dyes and as you know, the consistency is liquid, cream
or foam and relatively easy to disperse though hair. The henna
preparation, however, is the consistency of thick-ish mud and not so easy
to spread. You would be able to cover your scalp I guess but trying to
adequately cover all the rest of your hair would be tricky. You
would really have to do it outside because the mess would be considerable.
Even when I had really short hair, the mud-like henna would wind up all
over the bathroom sink; I learned to spread it with old newspaper first.
And then you really have to leave it on for several hours to get the
result. I hate to sound like Debbie Downer but I am trying to be helpful.
Finally, to answer your actual question, I used one square (1/6 of the
block) for short hair above my ears. Now that my hair is chin length I
would use 2 or 3 squares or 1/3 ot 1/2 of the block. In your case I would
guess you'd need at least 2 full blocks. Which by the way is close to $50
US. Hope this helps, :(Answered on 5/27/2014 by Nanote from Upstate NY

Q:I was told by a Lush employee to use a blender or grater for my caca noir and use luke-warm to cool water if I wanted the blue-black to show through, because the heat will kill the indigo, and then keep it uncovered. Is this true? Or does not having the hot water stop the henna from processing correctly?Asked on 3/19/2014 by Val from Ann Arbor, MI
3 answers
A:There's no need to grate or blend your Les Cacas, as you just need to heat the little blocks to melt them into a lovely dye. You will need to use heat, the product should not be lukewarm or cool, or else the bar will not melt or take to the hair. If you have any further questions, please give our experts a call at 1-888-733-5874Answered on 4/2/2014 by Megan from LUSH Direct
A:I had not heard of this method before, so I just gave it a try. I grated
the henna block, just like the employee had said (I used the tiniest
grater, to get it as fine as possible) and let the mixture sit in my hair
uncovered for almost four hours. I can tell you that I did end up with
darker results than normal. It's much closer to black, and while my hair
is naturally super dark, I can really see the difference, but as for the
blue half of that blue black you're looking for, I don't think it achieved
that. I have a lot of different temperature lights in my apartment (I'm a
professional product and landscape photographer) and have checked it out
under the varieties I have. The temperature of my hair color is pretty
neutral. There's no blue showing up, but at the same time, there's no
red. I hope this helps answer your question! You'll definitely get a much
darker brown-to-black if you grate it, use the room temperature water, and
don't cover it, but a bold "blue-black" will not happen with the Caca Noir
block. Sorry!Answered on 3/19/2014 by Anonymous
A:It is somewhat true.
I use a grater and I use luke-warm water.
Here's some more info:
The color is much more intense if you do it again
the next day or, better yet, for 3 days in a
row. If you have that amount of time, this, to
me, is the best method. Break up the block so you
can use it 2-3 separate times. This depends on
your hair length. I have shoulder-length hair.
Use a cheese grater – this seems to work best on indigo.
When pouring the water just remember: you can
easily add some more water, but it's much harder to take it out again!
If you would like the blueish tint, you should go
with colder water – water at 50 degrees Celsius
(122 Fahrenheit). Do not use boiling water
because the indigo activates within 15-30 minutes
so you don't to waste extra time for the dye to
cool down before you can get it on your hair.
To thoroughly rinse it out of long hair you
really need to stick your head under a bath faucet (or a hose, if its summer).
Use cool (not hot) water to rinse.
Rinse it out with just water – no shampoo, conditioner, or hair products.
Using a wide-toothed comb helps to get some of the grit out.
Use shampoo and conditioner the day after all 3 treatments.
I hope this helps.Answered on 3/19/2014 by Anonymous

The play, featuring a cast of almost 60 students and a live band, was originally set for performances Valentine Day weekend. But bad weather prevented the show from going on.
The new dates for the play are this Saturday, March 8 at 3 p.m. and 7 p.m. and Sunday, March 9 at 3 p.m.
Now, with even worse weather this week, conditions have prevented the crucial last minute rehearsals, according to Leslie England, a drama teacher in the Muhlenberg County School System and director of the play.
"Usually on these snow days, MCHS Principal Donna Bumps and Martin Hall manager David Probus look at the driving conditions," England said. "If roads are too bad, there's no practice. If roads are passable, they will give me a window of time to allow for rehearsals. This is presuming the parents can drive the students to and from the school. We do not want students driving in these conditions at all."
As of Tuesday, March 4, no additional rehearsals had been held due to dangerous road conditions.
With such a major project, involving a stage full of actors, musicians, dancers, multiple level platforms, and the need for perfect timing, is there still time for those all-important full dress rehearsals?
"Knowing these students as well as I do, two days of working with the band and the microphones, and they'll be ready," England said ."That's the only thing we're lacking. I think we'll be fine."
England noted that several cameos have been added to make this already electric production even more entertaining.
"Assistant Principal Jerry Hancock, of Muhlenberg East High School will have a part," England said. "Jeff Dickinson plays Vince Fontaine, the radio disc jockey who judges the dance contest, and Thad Mayhugh, is our teen angel."
England noted that the live band will add a whole new dimension to the play. The group, made up of adults and students, under the direction of Melanie Smith, is made up of Donnie Johnson, Mark Woodall, Ryan Jones and Kirby Davis
"We 're still working on finishing touches for the song "Greased Lightning" with some help from . Wester's Body Shop supplying car parts. Carmel Rich, from the Muhlenberg County Music Museum, has supplied wonderful memorabilia from the late 50s to add to the authentic look of the stage. A lot of people from the community are helping to bring this all together," England said.
England had a simple explanation for the seemingly never-ending popularity of GREASE.
"It's amazing how many people love this show. I think it's the music, the fun, the dancing. Not too many musical are this popular. Boy meets girl, boy loses girl, boy gets girl back. It just brings back memories for all ages," England said.
Has trying to bring such a complicated play to the Martin Hall stage made her think twice about next season?
"Not at all. Next year we plan to present, "The Wizard of Oz" England said.
The revised show times are Saturday, March 8 at 3 p.m.. and 7 p.m., and Sunday, March 9 at 3 p.m. If you purchased tickets for Friday, they will still be honored at any of the rescheduled performances.

Our Project Shark Attack '79 Corvette is beginning to take on its newpersona, and we'll cover our 383 engine build in this installment. Wementioned previously that the L98 cylinder block was cracked in thelifter-valley area and we hoped we'd be able to repair it.Unfortunately, it was so badly damaged that we needed another cylinderblock. Fortunately, we had another four-bolt-main (roller-camshaft)truck cylinder block left over from an earlier project. Sometimes wewonder why we keep all those old parts lying around. Now we know.
We had stripped the replacement four-bolt main cylinder block ofinternal components before storing this engine block. The freeze plugsand cam plug had been removed for cylinder-block cleaning. The block hadquite a bit of rusty sediment below the freeze-plug area that requiredattention before the block was sent out to be cleaned. Cast-ironcylinder blocks are chemically cleaned with an alkali-based hot-waterwash to remove grease, oil, and metal particles after boring. The alkalidoes a good job of basic cleaning, but it will not loosen the rustsediment that accumulates at the bottom of the block. Manual removal ofthe majority of the sediment at the bottom of the block is necessarybefore the alkali dip. An angled pick can be used to loosen up thesediment using the freeze-plug holes for access. The engine was nowready for a trip to the machine shop.
We dropped off the cylinder heads and cylinder block for machining at GTAutomotive in Eustis, Florida. We're always inspired when we visit GTAutomotive because the owner, Glen, is usually at the engine dynotesting one of their many high-horsepower creations. On that day, thedyno was putting a big-block Chevy to the test that another employee,Mark, had assembled. There's nothing quite like the sound of an 800hpbig-block at 8,100 rpm. We're fortunate that Glen will work with us onthis mundane engine build after listening to that big-block Chevy. Markwill install the S/S intake and exhaust valves from PAW, along with avalve-seat rework on the L98 aluminum cylinder heads. The first step inthis process is cleaning the cylinder heads and checking the conditionof the valve guides. The heads will have some aluminum material removedfrom the combustion chamber bowl to enhance flow. While the die grinderis out, the cylinder-head intake ports will be opened up to gasket size.
We contacted the Crane Cams tech line for the proper camshaft andrelated valvetrain components. Mark installed the Crane Camsvalvesprings on the mildly reworked cylinder heads to complete theassembly of the cylinder heads. Both of the donor engines had over150,000 miles, so we replaced the hydraulic roller lifters with matchingCrane Cams lifters.
Performance Automotive Warehouse supplied most of the necessary piecesto assemble the 383ci short-block, which included its 383ci crankshaftkit. We also sprung for the one-piece rear-main-seal crankshaft option.PAW supplied the S/S valves for the original '89 Corvette L98 aluminumcylinder heads. We decided on the cast crankshaft from PAW to keep costsreasonable; since rpm will be limited, the cast crank is fine.
GM made a few valvetrain changes during the '86-'91 aluminum cylinderhead run. Pushrod guideplates were used the first few years, then"pseudo" ones were used with rocker arms that had guide rails. Thepseudo guideplates will not control the pushrod properly, and thepushrods that were used with them were a softer material. If hardenedreplacement guideplates are used with the soft pushrods, they will beeaten up quickly. We decided on hardened guideplates with matchingpushrods, which allowed us to use roller rocker arms without guiderails. We don't plan to run the engine at sustained high rpm, but withthe new Crane Cams components installed, we'll have the confidence tospin the engine to its rev limit without fear. After all, you never knowwhen a trip to the dragstrip may be necessary.
While Mark was working on the cylinder heads, Glen was inspecting andmeasuring the cylinder bores for boring and honing. Cylinder bores mustbe straight and round for proper piston-ring sealing. That's not to saythat using a hone in your 1/4-inch drill wouldn't work under a shadetree. It's possible for new piston rings to seal worn cylinder bores,but it takes many miles to finally fit the ring to the bore. Glen wasready to bore the block to 4.030 inch to straighten and clean up thecylinders for optimum piston-ring sealing. First, the cylinders arerough-cut with a boring bar, then finished with a hone to provide acrosshatch pattern. This pattern helps provide oil while the rings fitthemselves to the cylinder bore. Piston-ring manufacturers havecrosshatch-pattern preferences to avoid undue break-in piston-ring wear.
