Electric Airsoft Rifles use batteries as their power source and they shoot very fast. Some Electric Airsoft Rifles come with semi-automatic fire. That means that when you pull the trigger only 1 BB will come out at a time. Other Electric Airsoft Rifles come with full-automatic fire. This means that when you pull the trigger multiple BBs will come out at a time. The longer you hold the trigger down the more BBs come out. Check the description above to see which kind of gun this is and if it is right for you. Electric Airsoft Rifles don't require any pumping or cocking, just simply point and shoot. This is a High End Electric Airsoft Gun. Please only use .20 gram high quality BBs with this item in order to keep it in proper working order. Using anything else as ammunition for this gun will void the warranty and may cause it to jam. Also, to keep your Electric Airsoft Gun working properly, do not fire the gun when there are no BBs in it as it may cause damage to your gun. You must be 18 years of age or older to purchase this Airsoft gun.

Rob Stewart was a famous actor for 16 years before he realized it. He was an unemployed writer/director $6,000 in debt when he started going on auditions in his late 20s, hoping to land a role that might fund his other projects. In 1990, he tried out for a new show called Sweating Bullets, what he calls "a B-version Magnum, P.I." about a Don Juan detective named Nick Slaughter who solves local crimes in the fictional Florida beach town of Key Mariah.
Stewart, who couldn't afford a haircut at the time and had a "lion mane of hair," showed up in a tank top and jeans and had what he calls a "very bad audition."
"I accidentally went out drinking the night before," Stewart, now 50, says on the phone from the Calgary set of Heartland, a Canadian drama about life on a horse ranch.
His tryout was so bad that when producer Peter Locke and writer/creator Sam Egan watched his tape, they almost immediately began fast forwarding. Then Locke's wife walked by and Stewart caught her eye. "That's your guy," she said.
After landing the job, the first thing Stewart did was ask for an advance to get a haircut. Locke said no. Instead, he pulled his new star's hair back in a ponytail and dressed him in a permanently unbuttoned Hawaiian shirt to show off his chest hair. Nick Slaughter was born.
Though Slaughter never failed to solve the crime — from petty theft to murder — and bed the dame, his approach was nowhere near as smooth as Tom Magnum's. Stewart hammed up the one-liners the show's writers served up each week, delivering them in a "lazy Canadian version of Groucho Marx." Bullets aired for three seasons in Canada and in the United States as part of CBS' Crimetime After Primetime.
And that would have been that. But in the summer of 1992, following Yugoslavia's breakup under Slobodan Milosevic, Bullets aired in Serbia and the series, known abroad as Tropical Heat, took on a second life. The UN had just imposed sanctions on Serbia, isolating the newly landlocked country and shrinking its economy. Robert Nemecek, the programming director for a then-new local television channel called TV Politika, was looking for a "positive, sunny, and colourful" series to buoy the spirits of Serbs who could no longer summer on the Croatian coast. He wanted Baywatch, the most popular beach-set series at the time, but it was too expensive. That's when Tropical Heat landed on his desk.
"First of all, it was the light entertainment needed for an audience bombarded with pictures of war," Nemecek said via email. "Second, it was Rob's face — he had the face of a Serbian!"
An embargo prohibited large companies from making new deals with Serbian programmers, but independent distributors had free rein. Between 1993 and 1997, Heat aired on three other channels besides TV Politika: 3K (1994-1995), TV Novi Sad (1993-1994) and, after the embargo ended, TV Pink (1996-1997). Thanks to contracts signed before Yugoslavia's split, shows such as Twin Peaks and Beverly Hills 90210, along with pirated satellite series such as Melrose Place, The X-Files and L.A. Law, continued to air as well. But Tropical Heat was up to the competition. The series was a hit, and Stewart a star.
Milos Djuricic, an actor from Belgrade who recently co-starred with John Cusack in The Raven, was eight when Tropical Heat first aired in his native country. In the new documentary Slaughter Nick for President, which explores Tropical Heat's unlikely popularity in Serbia, Djuricic tells Stewart the show was one of the reasons he got into acting, "not because of very good production or very good acting, but [because] at that time I wanted to be in that paradise." The farthest he could travel in the '90s was his grandmother's village, but he didn't need a visa or a passport to get to Key Mariah.
For many Serbs, the appeal of the show was purely escapist. But eventually the series' second life took a strange turn: Nick Slaughter became a hero, of sorts, to the anti-Milosevic movement. On Nov. 17, 1996, mass protests broke out in the country in response to Milosevic's attempt to manipulate local elections.
The protests took place throughout Serbia, but were at their most concentrated in Belgrade where, in the suburb of Zarkovo, sometime in the mid-'90s, a young graffiti artist had written "Sloteru Nice, Zarkovo ti klice!!!"- a rhyme that means, "Nick Slaughter, Zarkovo hails you." According to Marc Vespi, director of Slaughter Nick for President, this graffiti (which survives to this day) inspired student protesters with "the idea of running Nick Slaughter for president." Soon rhyming slogans like "Slotera Nika, za predsednika" ("Nick Slaughter for president") and "Svakoj majci treba da je dika, koja ima sina k'o Slotera Nika" ("Every mother should be proud to have a son like Nick Slaughter") started showing up on protesters' banners and badges.
"It was a kind of mock-campaign, the message of which was, even a fictitious TV detective would make a better president than Milosevic," said Vespi via email. "It was like 'Anybody but Bush' a few years ago. It was an expression of frustration with the leadership that the political system was providing."
Djuricic, the actor, notes that humour was the protesters' weapon of choice during their three-month peaceful protest against Milosevic. "That was the weapon the regime couldn't fight," he says in Slaughter Nick. "We knew that it was our joke and they didn't understand what our joke meant."
Timofejev Aleksandar, general manager and editor in chief of Belgrade's radio and TV broadcaster Studio B, covered the demonstrations as a young journalist for the independent radio station B92. He says the Nick Slaughter slogans and numerous other "humorous" tactics were used to oppose the bleak conditions in which citizens were forced to protest.
"Those were demonstrations during the autumn and winter when it was very cold here in Belgrade — it was -10 or -20 degrees," Aleksandar says on the phone from Serbia. "Every day people were on the street and a lot of them needed to have some kind of levity."
In February 1997, Milosevic bowed to the opposition. That same year, Tropical Heat ended its run on Serbian television. Locke's company went bankrupt in 2001, but Serbians never forgot Nick Slaughter. In 2008, fans created a Facebook fan page, "Tropical Heat/Nick Slaughter," and its ranks eventually swelled to over 20,000 members, most of them Serbs.
Two months after the page was established, Nick Slaughter himself stumbled upon it. At the time, Stewart, again unemployed and living with his son and parents, had joined Facebook to communicate with his wife, a cinematographer working in Mexico. One night he searched Tropical Heat to see if it was airing internationally and might send some residuals his way. That's when he landed on the fan site. He wrote the administrator and got an email back detailing how Nick Slaughter became a Milosevic-era meme. "I'm famous in Serbia!" Stewart told his neighbour. Six months later, Stewart and his neighbour (filmmaker Marc Vespi) were on a plane to the Balkans.
Slaughter Nick for President, which had its world premiere at Toronto's North by Northeast festival earlier this month, documents their June 2009 trip to Belgrade and Novi Sad where they encountered what the local press called Slaughtermania. Crowds of Hawaiian-shirted fans, front-page news coverage and autograph seekers of all ages with Tropical Heat DVDs greeted Stewart over the course of two weeks.
"Here, you're like some kind of god — anything is possible if Nick Slaughter is somewhere in it," one female fan tells Stewart in the film. As a baby, her father played her the Tropical Heat theme song, Anyway the Wind Blows, to quiet her cries.
In between documentary interviews, Stewart taped a suspect local TV ad for computer equipment, flashed his chest on a Serbian game show, planted a maple tree in Zarkovo (where "the first seed of the Nick for President phenomenon was planted," says Stewart in the film), and attended movie premieres and fashion shows. But, for Stewart, the highlight of his visit was a performance at the To Be Punk Festival with Atheist Rap, a Serbian punk band that in 1998 released the song Slaughteru Nietzsche.
In the documentary, Stewart can be seen smiling broadly as the band sings: "You bring us a better tomorrow/ You make peace between nations and people/ Slaughter Nick, Serbia salutes you!"

Software "time bomber" goes to prison

Deciphering the hacker myth
February 5, 2002
Timothy Allen Lloyd, 39, was sentenced to prison Wednesday for concocting a computer "time bomb" that deleted programs on his former employer's computer network 20 days after he left high-tech measurement company Omega Engineering.
Lloyd lost his job at Omega on July 10, 1996, after a 10-year stint with the company. On July 30, he activated a "time bomb" that destroyed Omega's manufacturing software programs.
A jury in a Newark, N.J., federal court convicted Lloyd in May 2000 of one count of causing irreparable damage to Omega. Prosecutors said Lloyd's actions cost the company $10 million.
The conviction was set aside in July after a juror said she may have been affected by publicity surrounding a high-profile virus that was released in May. However, an appeals court reinstated the conviction last October.
Lloyd's attorney did not immediately return requests for comment.

How much is too much?
So I found a 2010 990R adv in Canada with 14000 km comes with Gobi panniers, black dog skid plate & high fender kit and crash bars for $13,500, in great condition. Do you guys think this is too much? I just watched a 2011s 990 with 12000km go for $10500 from Mission cycle in Angus. I just wanted some other opinions. Thanks
Great bike and lot's of goodies that you will need. I bought my 11' for 13500$ new. Price is high, work him down. PS get the R model.
I have a different perspective on these types of things.
Geek's motorcycle purchasing philosophy: Some things are more important than worrying about what a bike costs eh? Is it exactly what you want? If the answer is yes.. buy the thing. I'd rather ride the bike I want than ride the bike that I bought because it was a good deal :deal Who gives a shit if you pay a couple of hundred too much. Life is too freakin' short. I have gotten more than $24058250808 of enjoyment out of every motorcycle I've owned - which is a helluva deal because I've never paid more than $29,000 for one :D I see far too many of my buddies who "go without" while worrying about getting a good deal. I'd rather be riding than shopping. :ricky Oh.. and I'm sitting on the right side of this see-saw: :lobby :rofl :freaky p.s. Parry Sound - do they still run the Sportbike Rally up there? Somewhere I have a t-shirt back from attending the 1992 or 1993 rally. |
Maybe a tad on the high side but not a total hose job or anything. Beat him up a bit then buy it, in a year you won't care/remember if you could have saved $500-$1000.
Listen to Geek...get the bike you want for whatever reason. I liked the carbs, black paint..ymmv if you have the cash and the bike inspires you just get it. You've got all winter now but your living room would look a lot bettet witha mint 950 in the corner.
the question?
If it is in great shape and right there waiting for you??? I'd say (haggle some:deal and) jump!
Thanks guys I'll keep ya posted if it happens.

German delegation to recommend system
Union Minister of State for Power K.C. Venugopal has said that a German delegation will visit the State shortly to recommend a system to generate electricity from garbage.
Discussions will be held with the delegation on exploring the ways to introduce the system that has been successfully implemented in Germany, the Minister said. He was talking after inaugurating a one-day workshop on environment conservation organised by the Kerala Catholic Bishops' Council here on Saturday.
Steps needed
Mr. Venugopal said that steps should be taken to correct the perception that environment and development cannot co-exist. Development projects should be implemented by reducing environmental problems. The Minister said that dropping a few coal-based power projects on environmental grounds had dealt a serious set back to the country's power sector.
He said that Kerala is benefitting from increased allocation of power from the Centre. The demand for power in the State and the country in general is on the rise calling for more power projects. Mr.Venugopal hailed KCBC for its meaningful intervention in various fields including environment conservation.
KCBC president Archbishop Mar Andrews Thazhath presided. KCBC deputy secretary general Stephen Alathara, and POC dean of studies Joly Vadakkan spoke.
Bishop Abraham Mar Youlios led a class based on an environment policy document prepared by the KCBC. Rubber Board research wing director James Jacob led a class on spiritualism through environment friendly lifestyle.
Kollam-based Bionest director Alexander N. Vaidyan spoke on nature friendly constructions and Jose Mathew Vayalilppura, principal of St. Xavier's College, Kozhikode, led a session on environment protection in the teachings of the Church.

March 16, 2009 Apple is set to preview the iPhone software version 3.0 at an invitation only event on March 17th and, as is traditional in the lead up to any Apple event, the rumormongers have been busy with predictions of what will and won't be added to the device. So we thought it would be timely to do a bit of a rumor roundup in readiness for the imminent announcement.
Copy and Paste
The strongest rumor doing the rounds concerns the addition of copy and paste capabilities. Besides this oft requested basic feature being an obvious addition, the rumor is lent credence by coming from Digg founder Kevin Rose who has been accurate with several iPhone improvements in the past. Rose says the new feature will allow users to bring up copy and paste by magnifying or double tapping a word or by selecting text using a finger pinch to select 'copy boundaries'. The user will then get an option to cut, copy or paste the selected text.
Background or 'push' notifications
This rumor is a little shakier. Rose doesn't think it will be included while others do. Apple has previously suggested a push notification system that would allow third-party iPhone apps to alert users was in the offing, but nothing materialized. A loosening up of restrictions on applications running in the background would come in handy for programs like music players, macro utilities, GPS data loggers, and instant-messaging clients, but that doesn't mean it will be included.
This is another basic feature that even the most basic phones are capable of, yet iPhone users are still waiting for. The ability to incorporate images, audio, video and rich text into SMS messages would apparently only require a minor software tweak and BoyGeniusReport (BGR) say they were tipped off about the inclusion of this feature, however, Rose begs to differ.
Tethering via Bluetooth or USB
Although surprisingly easy on a jailbroken iPhone, tethering is still impossible on your stock standard iPhone. If Apple were serious about cutting down on the jailbreaking market this feature should be at the top of their list. Although BGR are predicting tethering via Bluetooth and USB, they're just about the only ones.
Video Recording
This one isn't generating a lot of buzz. Although it may be technically possible to implement – 15fps video capture is already possible using a jailbroken iPhone and a third party app - many are saying the quality of the current iPhone's camera may not live up to Apple's standards so they may be choosing to overlook it rather than implement a second-rate feature.
Of course the replacement of the current camera used in the iPhone would solve this problem so the inclusion of video recording capabilities in the new firmware could point to a future upgrade in forthcoming models. And it is this hint at next-gen hardware that is really causing all the fuss with the 3.0 firmware update. Not only will it provide new features for existing iPhone owners, it may also provide a tease as what is in store for the next model iPhone.
Keep Dreaming – probably
Scanning the forums reveals iPhone users seem most interested in the possibility of running background apps and push notifications but, as usual the wish list from users far outweighs the list of rumors. These include Flash support, a horizontal keyboard for every app, SMS forwarding, and voice dialling. It seems users aren't being too greedy since most of these features are things that can be found on much cheaper handsets. Also the fact that many of these features such as MMS, copy-and-paste, turn-by-turn GPS and tethering are available on jailbroken iPhones just shows how much people want these features – take note Apple.
So what does everyone think? Do you believe the rumors or is the whole rumor thing just a waste of time? What features do you existing iPhone owners want to see added, and if you don't have an iPhone, what features would convince you to buy one? Let us know in the comments.

Los Alamos Hilltopper Danielle Ortiz earned a pair of volleyball honors for her performance in the 2012 season.
Ortiz, a senior libero for the Hilltoppers, was named to the North All-Star team for her performance this season.
In her senior year, Ortiz was credited with 436 digs in 78 sets played and committed just 41 errors in 1,237 service-receive chances this season.
Ortiz was the only player from District 2-4A selected for the North All-Star team this year.
The North and South All-Stars are selected by the New Mexico High School Coaches Association. The 4A-5A All-Star Game is scheduled for July 29, 2013 at Bulldog City in Albuquerque.
Oritz and three of her teammates were also named as first team All-District 2-4A selections this season. Seniors Savanah Romero and Erin Kirk, and junior Claire Stewart also picked up first team nods from Los Alamos.
Kirk was among the top statistical hitters in 2-4A this season, earning a total of 255 kills and was successful on 32.7 percent of her attempts. Stewart was third among the Hilltoppers in total kills (163) and Romero earned 610 assists, averaging 9.4 assists per set played.

Wavelength tunability and pulse duration control in frequency shifted feedback Er-doped fiber lasers
Optics Express, Vol. 17, Issue 5, pp. 3299-3304 (2009)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (306 KB)
This paper presents the experimental studies on the all-fiber frequency shifted feedback erbium laser. Impact of the gain section profile on laser operation is shown. Two methods of wavelength tuning are presented. We obtained 8.3 and 10 nm tuning range in electrical and manual tuning respectively. Pulse duration can be also controlled and changed from 2 to 5 ps. The shortest pulses duration we have obtained was 1.7 ps.

Full text not available from this repository.
The colonization of catheters by microorganisms is a serious problem that can lead to the development of resistant biofilm-related infections. Lethal photosensitisation is a possible solution as it is capable of inactivating microorganisms through the generation of reactive oxygen species. Previously we have shown that a Methylene Blue and gold nanoparticle-embedded silicone material has antimicrobial properties against planktonic bacteria when exposed to laser light. In this work the material has been tested for its ability to reduce the formation of Staphylococcus epidermidis biofilms. Biofilm formation was observed over time using a flow cell which was arranged to allow laser irradiation in situ. The duration and frequency of light exposure were changed so that the same amount of energy was delivered during each experiment. Neither short (5 min) but frequent (every 30 min) irradiation nor long (20 min) and infrequent (every 120 min) exposure was able to significantly prevent biofilm formation; they resulted in 75% and 60%, respectively, of the surface covered by the biofilm after 6 hour of colonization compared to 100% coverage when no laser was used. However, when laser irradiation was performed for 10 min every 60 min, a reduction in biofilm coverage of greater than 50% was observed compared to untreated silicone. The properties of the materials post-irradiation were also evaluated; the surface roughness of the material, the asperity density and the asperity height showed a continuous decrease with energy dose. However, the elasticity (Young's module) was not affected by the irradiation. This appears to be a promising novel light-activated material which, as well as displaying antimicrobial activity, has been shown for the first time capable of reducing biofilm formation over time.

The researchers prepare their devices by creatively conjugating poly (3-hexylthiophene)(P3HT) onto carbon nanotubes by π-π interactions and avoiding chemical modifications. Through photoluminescence characterization and carrier mobility measurements, the role of semiconducting carbon nanotubes in the photovoltaic conversion is revealed.
A filtration process is used to tailor the purity of semiconducting carbon nanotubes and adjust the dispersion morphology of the material in the conjugated composites. Further thermal annealing helps to improve the structure of nanotube/P3HT composites and forms a type-II heterojunction. As a result, both short-circuit current and open-circuit voltage are significantly enhanced, and the power conversion efficiency is increased by 80%.
The techniques outlined in the study can be extended to other organic photovoltaic systems, and may pave a way to affordable and efficient solar cells.
More details can be found in the journal Nanotechnology.

: Pride and Power by CURLYTOP
Novella Harry Potter is back for what one may call his seventh year at Hogwarts. Although at Hogwarts may be the wrong way to put it.

: The Real Reason by CURLYTOP
Short story Have you ever wondered why Lilly hated James so much? I mean, sure, he was rude and played mean tricks, but what if there was another reason, that went back farther then Hogwarts? One that touched many bad memories, and many heart aches. This story gets much better in the latter chapters. It is one of my first stories, so the beggining chapters are a bit weak.

Tap, Tap, Tap . . . is this thing still on?
Miracle of miracles, we have a video today!!! A missing camcorder charging cord, Flip software that wouldn't work, and well, general busyness have kept me away for awhile. Sunday, I broke down and bought an iPhone (oh, how I love it)....and Monday, I tested out the video camera.
Short and sweet today: this tip is one I picked up from Julia Usher's new book, Ultimate Cookies.
Now, Julia uses this technique when she is constructing 3D cookie masterpieces (think gingerbread houses), but I used it this week when I wanted to be sure my cookies were cut to the exact same size as my edible images.
If anyone is still here, thanks for watching!!!

23 Times When Walmart Didn't Disappoint
Because there's nothing quite as magical as the people of Walmart.
6. And when another employee — maybe the same one! — thought cantaloupes were also watermelons.
7. When they erected this awesome ball pit and didn't let anyone to play in it.
It's the saddest of times. :(
12. And when this other equally awesome message graced the shelves.
"And underneath that, I'd like it to read…"
16. When someone thought baseball and football were the same exact thing.
23. And when Walter White turned the bathroom into a meth lab.
Well played, Walmart. Who knew you had it in you?

I love monkeys.
One of the major flaws of mankind is our inability to perform head transplants.
The life of UFC Octagon Girl Arianny Celeste most certainly is an interesting one.
Monkeys are awesome.
Cool beer from a monkey waiter.
This monkey has no chill.
I guess bestiality exists even when you're an animal.
We hadn't seen much from actress Kelly Monaco since she was dropping f-bombs on Dancing With the Stars a couple of years ago and now here she is in a bikini with a monkey.
I'm usually pretty leery of monkeys and chimps due to how they get kind of nuts sometimes.
I published this by accident about 20 minutes ago when there was no text in the body.

You can follow this conversation by subscribing to the comment feed for this post.
QBaby's are truly the GREATEST riding jeans ever!! Even more, the most flattering & comfortable jeans I've ever worn! Wrangler's have been my choice for riding jeans for more years than I like to admit!! : )
Between my husband and myself we either own or have owned almost every type of Wrangler there is. Love them all! And let's face it ladies, nothing makes a cowboy's butt look better than "W" on the pockets!!!!
There is nothing more "homey" than your favorite wrangler jeans & T, whether you are relaxing on the couch or in the saddle.
Wranglers just fit,look great too!
The fact is simple, my Wranglers just fit!
For all of us who were our jeans when we play, work, get dressed for a night out. Nothing looks as good or holds up as well as a good pair of jeans. Thank you Wrangler, I've been sportin' your jeans for 29 yrs.
Waranglers always seem to fit I like Rock 47 low rise Jeans.
Wrangler jeans are the best made jeans I have worn. Very comfortable and stylish to! Would love to win a pair!!!!
Ah It would be nice to find a pair of jeans that fit and don't have barn stains on them lol.f
Always Wranglers, and it's all about the pockets.
They're Wranglers!!! 'Nuf said, tweeted, tubed, keyboarded, emailed, g+'d or texted.
It just feels right to wear.And makes my booty look gooood.
Love the way these jeans fit. The fit of these jeans make you fill like a king

Best place forresh fish around Solana Beach? Thanks, Catalina looks pretty interesting. I've been to the Fish Market, maybe I was there on a bad day, but it seemed about the same as the fish counter at the albertsons up the street, only more expensive. |
Best place forresh fish around Solana Beach? Just moved to the area, is there a good fish market nearby? And actually I don't mind if I have to travel some, what's the best place in san diego county? Thanks, |
sorry for the slow reply haven't checked CH in awhile. |
Looking for books on cooking game Thanks for the link. John Folse should be a good start. |
Looking for books on cooking game Any suggestions on modern cook books about cooking game preferably written by high level chefs? |
Your favourite "magic" few-ingredient recipes tomato, pick ripe, slice, eat while still in the garden. hard to beat. and about as few ingredients you'll find. |
Apple pie with cheese? Really? It's not really much different in concept than a fruit and cheese plate. Fruit with cheese is a classic combo. |
Salmon thawed in refrigerator, how long? You can thaw it in the fridge. How long it will take of course depends on how cold the fridge is, but a 6oz filet seems like it should thaw over night. |
How long can I keep oil and duck fat used for deep frying? Thanks for the help! |
Sounds good! Thanks. |
How long can I keep oil and duck fat used for deep frying? I don't deep fry very often, maybe once every 2 weeks if i get on a fried chicken kick. When I do, it always seems like such a waste of oil ( generally i use canola oil) since I only use it once. I'm wondering if I strain it well if it will last long enough for me to get multiple uses. Also how should i store it? I was also wondering how long duck fat would last if used for deep frying? Thanks. |
I was actually incorrect about Walking J Farm http://www.walkingjfarm.com/Home_Page... being pricey. They are actually the least costly of the 3 I listed, I may be getting too old to do math in my head. Sorry about that guys. I'm going to try to get to the Tucson CSA one day to atleast check it out. They do have some things I find interesting in their shares. Their hours and the distance just make it a bit tough for me visit. |
Tucson- where do the food people meet? Thanks for the help. |
Brand name Mayonnaise with Olive Oil you can make it by hand with a whip, it's not difficult especially in small amounts, you don't need to dirty and electric blender or a mixer. |
Skin on garlic - how do I remove it? I'm making menudo with a whole head. It will have given up most of it's flavor, but also picked up other flavors from the soup, try a little on a nice piece of bread. |
Skin on garlic - how do I remove it? I'm making menudo with a whole head. unless there was a lot of loose skin to start with it should stay on and you can just remove the half heads when your done. then you can squeeze the garlic out of the heads, you'll have a soft nicely flavored garlic paste. |
Tucson- where do the food people meet? Thanks, that looks helpful, signing up now. |
I'm interested in maybe joining a CSA and hoping people with some experience in them could help me out. Next I've found 3 CSA possibilities and I'm hoping people here belong to them and can give me reviews. First is Tucson CSA http://www.tucsoncsa.org/ Next would be Agua Linda Farm http://www.agualindafarm.net/index.html Last is Walking J Farm http://www.walkingjfarm.com/Home_Page... So, anyone belong to any of these or maybe can suggest another CSA you are experienced with? Thanks. |
Tucson- where do the food people meet? CH is great, but discussions in the south west forum and one about Tucson specifically don't get much action. I'm wondering if there are other forums/news groups/message boards where food people from Tucson meet? |
When are regular breadcrumbs better to use than Panko? I think homemade bread crumbs, from bread I've baked are always better then store bought panko. Panko is for when I need crumbs but don't have any bread on hand. |
Anyone want to check out my bison chili recipe? Constructive criticism appreciated, atleast I think it will be appreciated :). Lastly, this is a bit of a work in progress, if people are interested I will update if/when I tweak it again. |
To find the best produce I look at what everyone has and ask a lot of questions. I've found things aren't always what they seem. You think your buying something local and it turns out to be from washington. Which is maybe ok, but you can probably get the same thing at whole foods for less. |
Yes, they do have other things. I just figure most people coming from out of town are going for the hot dogs. |
one of the classes at the cia had an all electric kitchen (atleast it did 25 years ago) so people could see it didn't generally make a difference. Eric Ripert uses an electric stove top on his show also, but they may have more to do with sponsorship then functionality. I still prefer gas slightly, probably because my parents house had gas, even though i haven't had a gas stove since i moved out 30 years ago :). |
Bourdain doesn't actually say why his isn't up to Keller's standards, but having read his piece on stocks I can make some guesses. All these things are fairly minor when taken alone, but they aren't the way things are done in a very high level kitchen, and they are cumulative. Bourdain gives us a way to come up with what's still a good product, but something much more realistic for home. Bourdain's demi glace seems just fine to me, it's the way it would be done in a lot of restuarants. It's just not the level of a restaurant in the French Laundry's class. My recipe for stock is to make friend's with a bar tender at a good restuarant. When i need stock I stop in for a beer, ask him to hit the kitchen up for a quart or so of what I need, then leave a nice tip. Even better if your friends with the chef. :) |
I know I'm in the minority, but I think El Guero Canelo is awful, by far the worst hot dog I've ever had in my life. Inexpensive though so if you don't like it, it's not a huge loss. ----- |
Best homemade pasta in Philly? lol i see you list Vetri as one of your top 5, so I guess you already know. :) |
Best homemade pasta in Philly? I've never been there Michael Symon reccomends Vetri http://www.vetriristorante.com/ says it's the best pasta he's ever had, I've heard other good things about them as well. I'm definitly going to try it next time I'm up that way. |
Something else to keep in mind. Just because a book recommends a different or easier way for the home cook, doesn't mean the end result will be different. |

Not very practical with a 283 and be very drivable. The 283 was available with power pack heads and 4 barrel carb for 220hp back in it's day. It can make respectable horsepower with the right parts selection, but it's going to be a high winder when making that kind of horsepower. IMO 300hp would be really pushing it and retain some drive ability. If I was trying to keep the truck true to form I would give it a good rebuild and make a Power Pack out of it, those parts are easy to find and cheap.
Vince |
Can you give me some more information on those "power pack heads" do they give the motor higher compression--higher flow runners?. I went to get some numbers off the heads that came off of the motor the only numbers at all on the head was "550" on the bottom, i also noticed the heads don't have any accessory bolt holes on the end of the heads, if that helps. I also have a summit-racing cam to go in the motor... 224 duration and 0.465 lift and a 114 degree lsa is that going to be to much cam for this smaller motor? once again i bought this cam when i thought it was a 327. Sorry for all the questions. |
Thanks sedan |

Boring 283 Block
Yes absolutely have it Sonic checked if you plan to bore to 4.00", I should have added that. Thanks Vince.
58-62 Blocks can go .125" 57 and 63-67 Blocks should only be bored .060" Todd Last edited by SSedan64; 09-16-2009 at 07:55 AM. Reason: Spelling |
If you plan on this being a daily driver I would recomend going with a set of mildly worked 416 heads, a performer manifold with EGR, and a about a 256 cam. Small diameter long tube headers and dual 2" exhaust. Your basic HEI igntion and a Holley 600 carb with vac. secondaries (this carb is as common as the cold and can be bought and rebuilt for less than $100). You could hit close to the 300 mark and it would be very drivable.
I did a quick DD run of a combo like this and ended up with 320hp and 350 tq, which I think is a bit optimistic but shows you should hit at least 300 hp. And yes on an engine like this I would keep EGR and vacuum advance- there is no reason not to. |
But if i can make 220+ hp with the stock bore i would be more interested in that. |
But why would you want to keep the egr, is that for fuel economy? But those numbers sure sound good if i could make that kind of power i would be more than happy with my 283. And i do really appreciate everyone's help. |
Engines have been proven to show less wear and have better milage with EGR, not to mention no power gains are almost never shown from removing it. It's another automotive old wive's tail. It only comes into effect during high vacuum situations (cruising) and has no effect on WOT power if it is functioning properly. I should note that those 416 flow numbers I used were from a set of mildly worked heads- nothing you couldn't do yourself with about 15 hrs time and the right tools. They also had 1.94/1.5 valves which are stock size for most 350's and can be bought and installed relativley cheap. |
With the smaller 3.875 bore, I would NOT increase the valve size
to 1.94. The stock 1.84 are perfectly adequate in this size motor. |
1.84's could work, but 1.94's could work just as well, perhaps a little better, when you have to do a VJ and buy new valves I would go with which ever is cheapest for this engine, a good VJ and some bowl work is going to make the biggest difference in the low lifts that we are talking about here. stepping up to a 1.94" valve would increase your curtian area by 5% and allow you more room to work the bowls with. It'd be an easy 5% gain, probably more.- that's only 15hp on this engine though.
Are you "dead-set" on using the 283? If not, I would seriously consider finding a decent used 350 or 400 and start from there.

Interview with Al Baldasaro
posted at 2:31 pm on March 15, 2014 by Jazz Shaw
Continuing to run around at the Northeast Republican Leadership Conference, I had the opportunity to sit down with Al Baldasaro, State Representative from Rockingham County and District 5 State-Federal Relations & Veteran Affairs Committee member. As a "tri-chair" in the New Hampshire state house, Al is one of the top GOP leaders in the First in the Nation state. He was one of the chief actors responsible for getting their Stand Your Ground law passed and remains one of the statesmen who people look to in the Granite State. In the interview below we talk about what's going on in his state in this mid-term season, how he almost ran for US Senate himself, and he shares some very interesting observations on Scott Brown and the race to replace their current Democrat Senator.
Al is a Marine and a long time servant of his nation and his state, with some appropriate thoughts to share. Check it out below.

text: (6-24-14) A former doctor accused of killing four people with ties to an Omaha medical school has asked to be moved out of Douglas County jail while he awaits trial because his solitary confinement is endangering his mental health. Attorneys for Anthony Garcia, of Terre Haute, Indiana, filed the motion Monday, seeking to have Garcia moved to a halfway house or to a state psychiatric hospital in Lincoln. Garcia is charged with first-degree murder in the 2008 deaths of the 11-year-old son of Creighton University pathologist William Hunter and the family's housekeeper, as well as the May 2013 deaths of Creighton pathologist Roger Brumback and his wife. Authorities say Garcia was motivated by revenge for being fired from Creighton's pathology department in 2001. He has pleaded not guilty.

Effective thermo-optical enhanced cross-ring resonator MZI interleavers on SOI
Optics Express, Vol. 16, Issue 26, pp. 21476-21482 (2008)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (2981 KB)
A cross-ring (CR-) Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) interleaver structure has been proposed and fabricated. It uses an '8' shaped cross-ring resonator to replace the conventional circular ring resonator. Thus, the new structure can have the function of add-signal. Furthermore, a thermo-optical fine tuning has been applied, which improves the crosstalk performance from ~-10 dB to ~-20 dB with 9 V applied on the heater of the 3-dB directional coupler.

Week 5 Bears Grades: Running backs
Moon's Week 5 Grades
There is no data to display.
Situations took Matt Forte out of the flow through too much of a game in which the game plan was to control the ball and clock and keep Drew Brees and the Saints offense on the sideline. But some of the problems were directly on Forte.
Forte bobbled a pitchout for a 10-yard loss on the first play from scrimmage, then juggled a screen pass two snaps later and came up short on a third-down conversion. His third-down drop of a check-down in the second quarter ended another possession.
He ended up with 55 rushing yards on 12 carries (46 yards per carry) and caught four of six passes thrown to him for 40 more yards. Michael Bush added 12 yard on his two carries.

But "we just gave them the ball too often," Forte said. "No matter how many years we're in this offense, it's always going to be a work in progress. That's why we go to practice, to try and get better at things we didn't do well in the game."
There were a number of those. Forte and to a lesser extent Bush were shaky on blitz pickup, contributing to some of the pressures on Cutler.
And while the plan was to run more than the 14 combined carries by Bush and Forte, "not being efficient on first down hurt us," Cutler said. "Second-and-long's, third-and-long's, it's hard to play that football game against a team like that."
Moon's Grade: C
