MX-2 is a high thermal conductivity and low thermal resistance compound for components that require optimum thermal dissipation. It is ideally suited for use in CPU, GPU cooling and other applications between power semiconductor components and heat sinks where thermal conductivity is a major factor.
Since the MX-2 does not contain any metal particles, there are no problems regarding electrical conductivity or capacitance. Unlike other silver and copper compounds, MX-2 ensures that contact to electrical traces, pins and leads cannot result in any damage.
With MX-2 no curing and no bleeding of the compound are possible. In contrast to other products, this compound does not show decreasing performance over time, does not need to be reapplied and has a durability of at least 8 years.

El Corazon development hinges on public funding
City manager says project on old sand mine will require new revenue sources
OCEANSIDE Oceanside's ability to fully develop a 465-acre former sand mine in the heart of the city into a massive public park, sports complex and commercial center may hinge on the public's willingness to help pay for it, city officials say.
"If you want El Corazon and you want all of the recreational facilities, the meandering roads and the infrastructure, somewhere someone needs to pay for it," City Manager Peter Weiss said in an interview last week. "If we as a community are not willing to put some money in it now, we have to lower everybody's expectations and say it's not going to happen for the foreseeable future."
Weiss said he will ask the City Council on Wednesday to allocate $22,000 to update a 2009 study that outlined the costs of public improvements planned for El Corazon and what it would take to pay for them.
He said he will also ask the council to agree in principle to go to the public at a later date with proposals for how to raise the money.
Those proposals could include a temporary sales tax increase or a temporary citywide property tax assessment.
Mayor Jim Wood told the city Economic Development Commission recently that he'd support a temporary sales tax hike to pay for the improvements, but any talk of raising taxes or imposing fees has been opposed by the three-member council majority of Gary Felien, Jerry Kern and Jack Feller.
Felien said Wednesday that he's not familiar with the 2009 study for El Corazon, but that he thought no public money was required to develop the property.
"In terms of any general tax increases or things like that, I don't see that going forward," Felien said. "Generally speaking, I've not been in favor of any tax increases of any kind."
Diane Nygaard of Friends of El Corazon said it's too soon to ask the council to make any commitments on how to pay for public improvements at El Corazon.
"There's any number of ways this could be done," Nygaard said. "If I was sitting in their seats, I don't think I'd be ready to make a decision."
Nygaard said the city first must update it park-impact fees, which are levied on new developments to help fund the cost of creating needed parks and recreational spaces. Oceanside hasn't updated its fees since 1995, she said.
The 2009 study by Willdan Financial Services pegged the cost of public improvements envisioned for El Corazon at $172.4 million.
That included $88.1 million to grade the site;
$13.3 million to provide water and sewer services; $42 million for nine smaller parks within El Corazon; $8 million for a community center; $15 million for an aquatic center; $1.7 million for a skate park; and $528,000 for nature trails.
Part of those costs would be covered by fees that developers pay to build in the area, but the 2009 study said the city would need to come up with an additional $140 million.
"The development fees alone are not going to be enough to build major portions of El Corazon," Weiss said.

Has anyone else here read this excellent series?
I'd never heard of them until a few years ago when Shalene mentioned that I might like them. Kind of ironic that an American told me about a series by a British writer, but Jacques books are popular in the uS as well as here.
The best way I can simply descibe them is like Wind in the Willows with attitude!
The series is about the creatures of a land and particularly those living behind the walls of Redwall Abbey. There are mice, squirrels, otters, moles, badgers, hares etc. They are the good guys. Then there are the 'vermin' - stoats, weasles, rats, foxes etc.
They have real battles and creatures even get killed. But there are great laughs along the way. Jacques is one of those writers who will have you chuckling one minute and shedding a tear the next.
I'd highly recommend them.

We are. Our official policy is that there is no law against consenting adults making Velveeta in the privacy of their own homes.
Yes, it's embarrassing, but the truth is that sometimes you want macaroni made with Velveeta, the way your mother made it. You're not alone and we're here to help you.
Really, the only problem with store-bought Velveeta is that it isn't actually "food." You don't need to refrigerate it until it's opened and then the shelf life is 6 months. When we were kids, we thought it was cheese, but now we know it's a "pasteurized prepared cheese product." Ah, to be young again . . .
Chickens in the Road" came up with a recipe for homemade Velveeta because she says her kids like it. (We believe her, and we know that she herself prefers to eat only high quality artisan cheeses!)
We recently did an article about Suzanne because we are challenging her to learn how to make a new "hard" cheese every month for the rest of her life (more or less). We will be featuring her in our monthly Moosletter, starting in November.
Suzanne's original article is much more entertaining than this one. That might be why her website is so popular. But you're here now, so check this out:
Heat the milk to 86F. Turn off the heat. Add the mesophilic starter and mix thoroughly. Add one teaspoon of the diluted rennet and stir with an up-and-down motion. Put the lid on the pot and let it sit for 12 hours. I usually do this at night before I go to bed then I take care of the cheese the next morning. Or afternoon. Sometimes I let it sit several hours longer than the recommended 12 hours just because I'm busy. This cheese is forgiving of my neglect. I love that in a cheese. As this is a high-yield recipe, the pot will be almost all curd with very little whey. I use a big slotted spoon to scoop the curds into a colander lined with butter muslin. Tie the ends of the cheesecloth and hang to drain for 12 hours. This recipe yields two pounds of cheese.
One recipe lactic cheese, drained
Let sit for 30 minutes. The cheese will be light and airy after the baking soda is mixed in. Melt the butter in a large saucepan and add the cream (if using), stirring to combine. I use a big stir-fry (wok) pan.
Add the cheese and stir to combine with the butter and cream. Melt on low heat. Add cheese coloring, if you like, while the cheese is melting. If you choose to add coloring, add as much as you like until it looks how you want it to look. You can use the cheese white, if you prefer. I used about a dozen liquid cheese coloring drops to make it look like Velveeta.
In about three minutes, you should have a beautiful, smooth cheese ready to go into whatever you want to use as a mold-or just scoop into plastic tubs. If you use a mold where you can take the cheese out easily, you can slice it.
Of course, once you have made your own Velveeta, there is a whole world of recipes available to you. One of the most popular is Velveeta Fudge. (One website refers to this as Trailer Truffles.) Now, we have no excuse for this- it's just not healthy food. In fact, if you have any self-respect at all, you will cover your eyes and click away from here now.
Thoroughly sift together the powdered sugar and the cocoa. Set to the side for later. Sift it many times. If you don't, it will cause lumps in the fudge.
Melt the margarine and Velveeta cheese in a 2 quart heavy pan. Don't turn the heat too high. Medium low is a good setting. Keep an eye on it.
Reduce the heat to low, and stir in the vanilla extract, nuts and the sugar and coca mixture.
Pour into the 9 X 9 cake pan.
Allow it to cool and set. Then cut it into small squares and serve.

Segregated Survivor
The cast of the upcoming 13th season of the reality game show "Survivor" will be divided along ethnic lines. The contestants will be segregated into four "tribes" of blacks, whites, Asians and Latinos when the hit CBS program returns on 14 September. The Building the Beloved Community Issue Committee feels this premise will only create further damage to race relations. We strongly urge to write a letter to CBS stating your concerns. For your convenience, we've provided the below letter...for background on the letter here are the references you may want to check out: NY Times and in the LA Times
CBS Television Network
51 West 52nd Street
New York, NY 10019
Dear Sir:
I am writing in regards to the theme of the show Survivor for the upcoming season. I do this as a member of the Women's International League for Peace & Freedom national issues committee, Building the Beloved Community, which works to fight racism and to educate others on the subject.
We strongly object to the idea of Survivors teams being divided along racial lines. Mark Bennett, the series producer, states that the show's idea was not intended to promote racial divisiveness, but we believe it will lead to racial divisiveness whether intended or not. We challenge Bennett's comment that "I really don't believe there are many people who hate each other because of their race." It seems that Bennett has no concept of the reality in our country and either lives with his head in the sand or surrounds himself with only whites. Is he totally unaware of the hate crimes committed and the many white supremacist groups in America? He also needs to know you can increase ethnic diversity on the show without pitting racial groups against each other.
In his statement regarding ethnic groups clustering together in my many cities he states that "In New York you will find areas like Little Afghanistan, maybe in the year 3010, when we're all coffee-colored, it really will make no difference." We question his use of "Little Afghanistan" wondering if he is playing into the stereotype of today that Afghans and others from the Middle East are terrorists. We find offensive his statement that by 3010 we will all be "coffee-colored". Does he question why ethnic groups cluster together in communities? Could it be for safety and/or because they are unwelcome in some neighborhoods. We also question Jeff Probst's comment, "There's a history of segregation you can't ignore. It is part of our history." Just because we have a history of segregation doesn't mean that it was right or that we should continue it.
We are less concerned about CBS's ability to handle the situation sensitively than over how the audience will handle it. Will it cause an increase of racial division and tension and promote negative stereotypes among viewers? Many of us have worked for years to improve racial relations and to fight racism, prejudice and negative stereotypes. This show could lead to the undoing of all our hard work.
We strongly urge you to reconsider the idea of having the upcoming seasons Survivor based upon teams divided along racial lines. We are dedicated to boycotting Survivor, CBS and the advertisers of the show if need be. Many in our group are committed community activist and I can foresee that many of us would be willing to protest your local CBS station and to start a letter writing campaign to your advertisers.

Most classically beautiful gardens incorporate some sort of structure to give shelter, frame a view, or provide a destination. In small lots, adding something like this gets tricky, so your best bet is to utilize a feature that may already be there. For many, this would be the garage.
Since garages are used only for storage or parking and are usually unattractive, the typical strategy for landscaping around a garage is to hide it with foundation plantings. But take a second look. There are huge advantages to co-opting a garage into the garden scheme by treating it as a theatrical backdrop for an outdoor living space. Changes that can be made include enlarging the entry door, incorporating vertical greening, or adding a faux porch. Stylish alterations can imbue a service building with personality and charm, turning it from intruder to welcome addition. The benefits of such improvements go beyond cosmetic—they can reinvent the way you use and enjoy the garden.

New Point of View
While this house had a charming detached garage, it wasn't incorporated into the property effectively. As in most back yards, all of the high-use areas hugged the house, giving the homeowners seated at their alfresco dining table a better view of their neighbor's house than their own. Simple changes made the garage's garden-side space more intriguing. We removed the foundation plantings that obscured the best features of the garage and softened thebrick facade with new planter boxes. Bluestone paving anda table in front of the improved facade established it as a destination—a new "cottage" that is an inviting place to eat a meal, appreciate close-up views of the garden areas on either side, and take stock of all the work the homeowners put into making their home a place they love to live in.

Porch Perfection
The owners of this pretty Georgian-style house wanted more garden space. Seeing an opportunity in the architectural features of the existing garage, we moved its door to another side and replaced it with a faux front porch accessible only from the garden; a swing bench completes the "guest house" stage set. The dollhouse style works perfectly with the architecture of the house, and because the garage is home for a classic car that hits the road only about five times per year, the homeowners simply drive over the lawn to get to the driveway, but can enjoy the view of the "guest house" every day.

Walled Garden
The garage in this urban Chicago back yard sets the tone for an entire garden. We continued the brick pattern and tile of the existing garage along a new brick wall to create a quaint courtyard that feels as if it were always there. Adding a retractable awning along the top of the garage created a shady and private destination that invites guests to walk through the garden on their way to the alfresco dining table. From there, they enjoy views of the garden in the foreground and a beautifully renovated 1906 townhome in the background. To further embellish the wall, we fixed iron flowerpot holders onto the facade for a garden wall that can easily be replanted to suit the season.

Playing Around
The owners of a center-city townhouse wanted to maximize space to encourage their active kids to spend time there every day. Since the new landscape would devote all available space to active play, there was no way to use plantings to soften the intrusive look of the existing garage. Instead of hiding it, we expanded the garage and created new ways to use it: a tennis backboard on its facade; a wide door that opens to a sheltered play space. Add a Ping-Pong table and table games, and you're ready for the best kid party on the block! At night, the translucent, backlit door glows and the entire garden is transformed into a courtyard that's perfect for entertaining grownups or kids. The space feels larger because it is multifunctional.

As much as trailers told us before, that's their new best idea of in-game freedom
I know I'm a bit late to the party, but is anyone else disappointed with the complete lack of storyline in this edition of Most Wanted?
Posted 08 December 2012 - 15:42
That's the trouble, the game feels like a rebadged Burnout, but without the Burnout fun. Even the take downs aren't as fun as they are in Burnout Paradise, which I thought was one of Criterion's best games.
As much as trailers told us before, that's their new best idea of in-game freedom
Though I'm kind of ok with that this time. Note that I'm usually not ok even with slightest cuts. However, old Most Wanted was the first and the last one being ok, with Sergeant Cross keying the car and all, everything after that story-wise was a let down, Undercover being total shyte and The Run having a great potential that was wasted. So, if they suck at it, why not just concentrate on the driving?

The cars in the DLC are new. I'm picking it up soon, I've been ignoring DLC while I catch up on other games.
So no one has posted in this thread for quite some time, but I basically got addicted to playing this game over the holiday.
Think I am around 65% done with the SP, have just one most wanted race left.
So I am currently doing the cars I have not done the events for left, and after that, what else needs to be done to complete SP? Billboards and all of that? Is there an easy way in game to know which ones you have not yet done?
Also, has anyone purchased the DLC pack? The Ultimate Speed Pack? I am strongly considering it is I like the game so much, but unless I am mistaken, I have already pretty much gotten those cars through the Most Wanted Events, so are the new events the DLC offer good enough to warrant a purchase?
This was definitely one of my favorite games for the holiday season. Truly enjoyed the hell out of it, the driving in it was perfect for my tastes, I prefer a more arcadey racer myself, and there was enough variation in the handling and feel of the different types of cars.

I really want to make a 286 joke but I have more class than that.
I didn't like this game at all. I thought it would be fun from watching videos on the internet, but this game controls horribly. The controls are sluggish so when I hit left or right it takes a while before the car will turn. The lack of storyline didn't really give me any motivation to keep playing it. Plus this game kills the crap out of vibration on your controller. It just doesnt stop at times. I'll just pass on this game, I don't normally play need for speed anyways, but I thought about trying this one since it was Criterion. As usual though, this series is stale and poor on quality.
Posted 02 January 2013 - 19:16
So it is all new events right? And is it 25 new events? Or 5 new events, repeated over and over for each car?
I really want to make a 286 joke but I have more class than that.
I think.
Anyway, I got the DLC, maxed out the Pagani Zonda R and took down the Hennessey =) Was it worth $10? I dunno. But it was worth getting.

London - O2 Academy Islington
Brilliant Blues Night Out! from CJ, 28/04/14A great night out, The Hoax were every bit as good as I had hoped they would be! Also a big shout out for Federal Charm who were also excellent! In fact the only criticism I would have of the evening is I am not a fan of having multiple support acts and I would have much preferred a longer set from Federal Charm and done without Well Hung Hearts who I thought were very disappointing! Other than that a tremendous night of blues and rock music!

Nitrous bottles, big blowers, and lumpy cams are the usual suspects to look for when smoking a hot street car out of a dimly lit alley, but why not just look at the gauges? As a hot rodder's general rule of thumb, the more heat a car is packing, the more heavily it relies on quality instrumentation to precisely monitor things like coolant temperature, oil pressure, boost, rpm, EGTs, air/fuel ratio, and inlet air temperature. It's the difference between maximizing performance and blowing up, but even street machines that rarely see track use need quality gauges for one simple reason: Factory gauges flat out suck. Some of it has to do with antiquated sending units, and some of it has to do with suspect circuitry and decrepit wiring. To help us understand just how far instrumentation technology has come over the decades, and what kind of features are packed into the modern crop of aftermarket gauges, we interviewed Greg Karpe of Dakota Digital. We got an enlightening earful on subjects ranging from GPS-based speedometers to products that eliminate the gauge headaches associated with engine and transmission swaps, so here's the scoop.
OE vs. Aftermarket Gauges
OEM instruments are inaccurate for a variety of reasons, including inexpensive or out-of-date sending units, poor vehicle grounds, low-quality gauge movements, and hokey instrument panel circuitry. Dakota Digital uses industrial-grade, solid-state sending units with dedicated ground wires. This alone solves a majority of tech problems we encounter that are caused by inadequate grounding. The harnesses we include for our oil pressure, water temperature, and speed sensors feature weather-pack connectors in which all wires in the harnesses connect directly to our control box. One solid ground connection to the box is all you need. Of course, proper vehicle grounding is still very important whether it's body to engine block, frame to engine block, or battery ground terminal to engine block. Furthermore, Dakota Digital's VFD3 digital systems use vacuum fluorescent displays that react very quickly and are able to display information very precisely
Our VHX analog/digital hybrid systems utilize precision stepper motors for gauge needle movement. These motors are also extremely accurate in terms of readout, as well as incredibly dependable. The motors are rated for about 10 million sweeps, but we have an ongoing test unit that has registered well over 75 million. Perhaps the biggest issue with OEM gauges is that they must be produced inexpensively and quickly in very large quantities, often in several different locations. Dakota Digital instruments, on the other hand, are tailored specifically for hot rods and street machines, built in the United States, and backed by a lifetime warranty.
One Control Box
One unique feature of Dakota Digital gauges is that they use a central control box that interfaces with the sensors, which greatly simplifies the wiring and installation process. The central control box has been a feature since the beginning, and we strongly believe in its benefits today. The main benefit of the remote control box is that it allows the installer to choose a convenient location to make the wire connections, and reduce the amount of wiring crisscrossing underdash. With a single-ribbon cable or CAT5 networking cable going to the instrument cluster, the amount of wires and confusion is greatly reduced. Our system eliminates the large bundle of wires going all the way to the cluster and makes for simpler connections and troubleshooting. Simple power and ground connections get you up and running, and each indicator or gauge is just one more terminal connection away. The control box breaks down the installation job into a less intimidating process. Another advantage the control box offers is more real estate for circuitry, thereby adding functionality and reducing the size of the instrument display.
Extreme Precision
While gauge readings can vary slightly for several reasons, such as sensor location, Dakota Digital instrument systems are engineered to perform as precisely as possible. Our voltage readings are accurate to within a tenth of a volt, oil pressure readings are within 2 psi, and temperature readings are within 4 degrees. Likewise, engine rpm is displayed by tens, and speed by a single digit. Fuel level senders by nature are not precise, but our instrument systems have seven common senders curves pre-programmed, along with the capability to learn a custom curve for a sender not on our list. To combat some of the fuel gauge frustrations we've all encountered, both our VFD3 and VHX systems use an averaging strategy on the fuel reading to prevent the gauge from sloshing when taking a corner.
GPS Speedo
The recent development of GPS-based speedometers have opened up a new world of possibilities for hot rodders. A GPS receiver feeding an automotive speedometer provides an accurate speedometer reading in cases where a race-bred transmission has no provisions for a cable or a vehicle speed signal output. An increasing scenario we're seeing is older transmissions being swapped into newer vehicles, primarily '88-98 GM pickups or even a Powerglide into a late-model race car. The VSS requirements of these trucks are very high, and difficult to reproduce with aftermarket components. Our GPS-50-1 receiver features a 128K VSS output for vehicles originally equipped with an automatic as well as a 54K VSS signal for vehicles that came with a Tremec T5 or a T56 manual transmission. When using a GPS-50-1 in conjunction with a current-model Dakota Digital instrument system, you'll have a spot-on speedometer reading regardless of gearing or tire size, an auto-adjusted clock, as well as compass and altimeter information. All of these additional readings will be displayed in the message center of the instrument system.
GPS Accuracy
Most people familiar with GPS-based speedometers in their TomToms will immediately have concerns about how quickly an aftermarket GPS speedometer can acquire satellite signals, and how quickly it can react to changes in velocity. Fortunately, Dakota Digital has been able to overcome these inherent challenges to ensure accuracy and seamless performance. There are roughly 30 functioning GPS satellites in orbit right now, constantly moving. This isn't a problem while in use, but when you power down your TomTom for the night, all of the satellites it was tracking are gone the next time you turn it on. That's why your handheld GPS unit takes so long to get its bearings when you first power it up. To avoid a 10-minute lag before your speedometer starts moving, Dakota Digital's GPS-50-1 speed sensor is programmed to "wake up" every 15 minutes to take a snapshot of current satellite locations. Once the unit gets a fix on the satellites, it goes right back to sleep, thereby minimizing the amperage draw. What this means to you is that when you hit the key in the morning, the GPS-50-1 already has a good idea of where the satellites are located, and getting a fix takes seconds instead of minutes. For best results, including cruise control operation, we like to see 10-12 satellites being tracked, and six is the minimum threshold for speedometer operation.
What happens to your phone call or satellite radio when you drive through a tunnel or under heavy tree cover? The signal gets weak or interrupted entirely. The same thing happens with GPS-reading devices. With a navigation unit, the interruption is hardly detectable, but when your speedometer and cruise control are using the signal, any disruption is a large one. To make this system work, we added internal accelerometers to fill in the gaps inherent with GPS signals. For example, with your typical GPS-fed cruise control set, as you drive into a tunnel, the signal will falter and eventually drop out. When the cruise control sees these fluctuations, it interprets them as a declination in vehicle speed and attempts to increase speed, sometimes very abruptly. With a GPS-50-1 controlling these components, the accelerometers act as a double-check system, and take a look to see if the vehicle speed actually changed. If not, the cruise control speed is held constant. Speed information from the satellite is updated within the GPS-50-1 every tenth of a second, which means that changes in vehicle speed are instantly reflected in the speedometer.
Solid-State Sensors
All Dakota Digital gauges utilize solid-state sensor technology. A solid-state sensor is a digital meter that gives more accurate, repeatable readings since it has no moving parts to get stuck or wear out. For example, our solid-state oil pressure sensor no longer has a wiper inside that measures the pressure. Another big improvement over traditional sending unit technology is that each solid-state sensor has a dedicated ground wire. No longer are we relying on the sensor grounding through its threads and in turn through the engine. All sensor grounds are run directly to our control box, so you no longer have to fear thread sealant.
More Information
Dakota Digital instrument panels, like the VFD3, are more like information centers than simple gauge readouts. The VFD3 systems offer an odometer, which also has a one-time preset option, so you can start the new odometer where the original left off, if desired. Many times the instrument system is upgraded at the same time as the drivetrain, so many customers choose to leave the odometer start point at zero. There are dual trip odometers in each system, in addition to a service meter, which allows the user to pre-program a desired service interval, such as 3,000 miles for oil changes. The instrument system treats this as a reverse-odometer, and the meter counts backward from the set point and alerts the driver when the service is due. Additional readings in the performance category include high speed and rpm recall. Also present in the system are indicators for turn signals, high beam, check-engine light, parking brake, and cruise control. All indicators are hidden, so if you opt to forego a few, you won't even know they're there.
Integrated Performance Meters
A very fun feature of our digital gauges systems is that they offer built-in performance meters. Both the VFD3 digital and VHX analog instrument systems keep track of high speed and high-rpm recall as well as measure 0-to-60 times, and quarter-mile e.t. and trap speed. While they sound quite complicated, most of these readings are derived from the speed signal being sent to the Dakota Digital control box. These readings are accurate as long as the customer has the speedometer calibrated. There are two ways to calibrate the speedometer, both of which take just a few minutes and are very simple and effective. Due to the way the information is gathered, you have to keep the wheelspin to a minimum, though our GPS-50-1 speedometer interface will eliminate that variable for the traction-challenged.

Here is what I found over last two weeks in IE10 and latest FF/Chrome:
1. animations (css3 transitions, transformations etc) are damn smooth in IE10
2. Firefox and chrome's font rendering sucks (at least in windows)
3. Firefox/Chrome do not support ICCv4 (seriously Mozilla/Google? **** you.) [ http://www.color.org...ion4html.xalter ]
4. Webkit should stop implementing any new features and fix every stupid simple layout issues they have.
5. css3 gradients are **** in Firefox. Mozilla needs to L2Code.
So whatever new IE11 brings is good enough. Personally, I'd like a 100% full featured implementation of HTMl5 forms.
Posted 20 April 2013 - 11:42
The scores should get better with a newer version of blue. Besides, I seem to remember that html5 isn't going to be full passed anytime soon. Does anyone have a date for this?
Can you check if IE11 support pointer-event: none; on all html element? IE10 currently only support it on SVG canvas.
Check this page: http://robertnyman.c...ter-events.html
Posted 20 April 2013 - 11:52
Posted 20 April 2013 - 19:41
2. Firefox is ok normally. But once you introduce transformation/transition/animation etc, fonts go ****.
1. True
2. It can be true in case of Chrome but I found Firefox font rendering on par of IE10, open softpedia and face bold font issue while Firefox does not suffer from this.
3. Firefox does support but it is behind preference not enabled by default
4. True
5. Firefox improved CSS3 Gradient performance issues, if that's what you are facing.
Now back to IE11 testing.. LOL!
Posted 20 April 2013 - 20:48
For CSS Pointer-events test, I get same behaviour as IE10 in IE11.
Fail this one as well: https://bug827709.bu...t.cgi?id=699017
Posted 20 April 2013 - 21:17
finally, IE is trying to catch up. still a long way to go
So IE11 has a DX11 implementation of WebGL? If yes, how much faster is it compared to the DX9 implementation FF has?
2. Firefox is ok normally. But once you introduce transformation/transition/animation etc, fonts go ****.
3. It doesn't help. You cant expect users to enable it when a PNG image's (background) color shifts and creates distinct seems with the html background color code. I know there are ways to work around (which I had to) but works out of the box on IE10.
5. I don't remember the exact thing. Encountered it during some design experiment. It was a combination of 1px to top gradient, background repeat and some effect (e.g., transition). The gradient appeared as distinct lines where it should appear as solid. Worked fine on IE10/Chrome.
As for IE11 and html5test.com, if IE11 has WebGL support, it should score much more.
Are you sure html5test.com is working properly for IE11? And no sign of HTML5 forms...eh?

George Washington
Gilbert Stuart portrayed George Washington several times in this stately, full-length portrait format known as the Grand Manner, initially reserved for royalty. In this case, he used European models for the setting and figure, and then adapted the iconography for an American subject. Standing in the classical pose of an orator (with arm extended), Washington appears in formal civilian clothing, but holds a sword that recalls his military achievements and suggests the might of his presidency. The portrait includes other specifically American details. For example, the table leg at left is carved with the American eagle and fasces (thirteen bundled rods symbolizing the unification of the original colonies), and the chair back at right contains an oval medallion with the Stars and Stripes. The books underneath the table, including one titled The Constitution and Laws of the United States, refer to American history and politics. Stuart also added a rainbow in the distant background as a symbol of the peace after the storm of the Revolution.

Grand Theft Auto III was a revolutionary title, one that inspired a whole new generation of 3D action games. Grand Theft Auto IV is just as big a leap forward, though perhaps in subtler ways, and sets a new benchmark for open-world games. Everything in GTA IV works in harmony. The story would be nothing without the city; the city gains realism from the physics engine; the physics complement the improved AI; the AI would make no sense without the new cover system. And on and on. There is no one major weak aspect.
A "10" is not a score we give out very often. In fact, the last time we gave a 10 to a console game was Soul Calibur in 1999. A 10 doesn't mean a game is perfect -- it means a game is pushing boundaries, expanding a genre, and doing many things to a level so far above and beyond its competitors that they overshadows any flaws. Certainly, GTA IV has some issues, the most noticeable being the occasional flaw in the cover system, but there are many more pieces of GTA IV that are better than anything I've seen from a game in the past decade. We don't give 10s often -- just to games that merit the score.

Interpretive Handbook
31891 :
Protoporphyrins, Fractionation, Washed Erythrocytes
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Erythrocyte (RBC) porphyrins consist almost entirely of protoporphyrin. Increased RBC protoporphyrin is characteristic of erythropoietic protoporphyria (EPP) and of the intoxication porphyrias that may be caused by heavy metals, halogenated solvents, some pesticides, and medications. However, iron deficiency anemia is the most common cause of increased RBC protoporphyrin. Therefore, when total RBC porphyrins are elevated, fractionation and quantitation of zinc-complexed and noncomplexed (free) protoporphyrin are necessary to differentiate the inherited porphyrias from other causes of elevated porphyrin levels.
Zinc-complexed protoporphyrin can be increased in erythrocytes in association with:
-Iron deficiency anemia (the most common cause of elevated zinc protoporphyrin)
-Chronic intoxication by heavy metals (ie, lead) or various organic chemicals
-Hepatoerythropoietic porphyria (HEP), a rare form of porphyria caused by homozygous or compound heterozygous mutations in the uroporphyrinogen decarboxylase gene (UROD)
Free protoporphyrin is increased in RBCs in association with EPP, an erythropoietic porphyria that is inherited in an autosomal dominant fashion. EPP is considered to be the third most common form of porphyria. It is caused by diminished ferrochelatase activity, which results in increased free protoporphyrin levels in RBCs, plasma, and feces. Onset of symptoms typically occurs in childhood with cutaneous photosensitivity in sun-exposed areas of the skin, generally becoming worse in the spring and summer months. Common symptoms may include itching, edema, erythema, stinging or burning sensations, and occasionally scarring of the skin in sun-exposed areas.
The following algorithms are available in Special Instructions:
-Porphyria (Acute) Testing Algorithm
-Porphyria (Cutaneous) Testing Algorithm
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Establishing a biochemical diagnosis of erythropoietic protoporphyria
Differential diagnosis of chronic intoxication from exposure to a variety of causes including heavy metals and chemicals
Differential diagnosis in some cases of iron-deficiency anemia
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
Values of zinc-complexed protoporphyrin >60 mcg/dL suggest iron deficiency anemia or may indicate chronic intoxication by heavy metals or organic chemicals.
A predominance of noncomplexed (free) protoporphyrin indicates a diagnosis of erythropoietic protoporphyria.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
Abstinence from alcohol for at least 24 hours prior to specimen collection is essential as ethanol induces some enzyme activity and suppresses other enzymes along the heme biosynthetic pathway.
There are 2 test options: whole blood (PPFE / Protoporphyrins, Fractionation, Whole Blood) and washed RBCs (PPFWE / Protoporphyrins, Fractionation, Washed Erythrocytes). The whole blood option is easiest for clients but requires that the specimen arrive at Mayo Medical Laboratories within 72 hours of draw. When this cannot be ensured, washed RBCs should be submitted.
It is essential to proceed expeditiously with obtaining, processing, and dispatching the specimen, precisely following procedures specified in Specimen Required, paying special heed to maintaining low temperatures.
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.
<20 mcg/dL packed cells
<60 mcg/dL packed cells

Cropping versus shrinking to fit
When printing your photos, you have two options for how your photo appears within the selected print dimension:
- Crop to Fit: This option crops your photo to match the selected print dimension. If you've chosen 8 x 10 as your print size, your photo will be cropped to ensure that this entire space is filled.
- Shrink to Fit: This preserves the original dimension of your photos for printing. These photos won't necessarily conform to your chosen print layout size.

Doc Savage Audiobook
Python Isle
Written by Will Murray, Based on a Concept by Lester Dent
For over eighty years, the name Doc Savage has meant thrills and excitement to millions of readers worldwide. Now, for the very first time, the Man of Bronze comes to vivid life in
"Python Isle"
, the first audiobook adventure from RadioArchives.com.
In "Python Isle", a long-lost pioneer flyer returns to civilization accompanied by an exotic woman who speaks in a lost tongue. From his towering skyscraper headquarters in New York, through a dangerous Zeppelin journey to Cape Town, climaxing on a serpent-haunted island in the forbidden reaches of the Indian Ocean, Doc Savage and his iron comrades race to untangle a weird puzzle so deep that the only clues can be found in the Bible!
Written by Will Murray and produced and directed by Roger Rittner - the same team that brought you
"The Adventures of Doc Savage"
radio series - "Python Isle" features dramatic narration by Michael McConnohie, cover art by Joe DeVito, and two exclusive interviews with Will Murray on the history of Doc Savage and the discovery of author Lester Dent's long lost manuscripts.
Lester Dent and the History of "Python Isle"
Written by Will Murray
In the spring of 1934, author Lester Dent was drowning in deadlines. For Street & Smith, Dent had completed his 20th Doc Savage novel. These were appearing in Doc Savage Magazine every month under the house pseudonym of Kenneth Robeson. Simultaneously, he was scripting the Doc Savage radio program for Don Lee's Golden West network. Over the airwaves, he was plain Lester Dent.
The greatest adventure hero of his time, Doc Savage was no lone wolf explorer. He had five wartime friends who joined him in his globe-spanning exploits. One hero. Six leads. It was a lot of work cramming them into every story.
On radio, Dent kept the cast pared it down to Doc and his chief sidekick, the colorful Monk Mayfair. It worked just fine.
Maybe that's where Dent got the idea to leave some of his aides out of a select number of stories. It started with "Death in Silver". Only, Doc, Monk and Ham Brooks participated. 'Kenneth Robeson' explained that the other three were scatted about the world, pursuing their rough-and-tumble vocations.
Lester always plotted his novels one, two or three ahead. He was considering a story starring the absent mechanical engineer Renny Renwick, provisionally titled "Lost Island."
His editor approved the general concept and Lester sat down to outline it. He was dumbfounded when the outline was bounced back to him as unacceptable
The reason? "Python Isle", as he finally called it, involved snakes, and reader reaction to similar stories had convinced Street & Smith to make serpent-themed tales taboo. The offending stories had been written by a young pulp writer and amateur herpetologist named Richard Sale. He later went on to Hollywood fame, scripting the suspense film "Suddenly" and creating the TV Western "Yancy Derringer". But, in 1934, he was poised to ghost Doc Savage for Lester Dent. His first project? "Python Isle"!
Disappointed, Lester moved on to his next Doc Savage idea. Richard Sale never did write Doc.
The "Python Isle" outline gathered dust in Lester Dent's files long after the cancellation of Doc Savage in 1949, and his own passing ten years later. I discovered it in October of 1978 while visiting Lester's widow, Norma, and almost immediately recognized it as the skeleton to a lost Doc Savage adventure.
It was an audacious idea to attempt to flesh out the eleven-page outline into the first new Doc adventure since 1949. I had been reading Doc for less than a decade, having discovered him through a Bantam Books reprint of "Dust of Death" in 1969. Like many 15 year olds before me, I was hooked.
Now I was 28 - the same age Lester had been when he wrote his first Doc Savage story. Mrs. Dent agreed to let me try. So I pounded out the regulation 200 plus pages, signing it 'Kenneth Robeson'. It was my first novel. The year was 1980.
Bantam Books read it and was interested but, ultimately, they decided to hold onto it until they ran out of original Docs to reprint.
Eleven years later in 1990, they did. "Python Isle" was printed with a gorgeous Joe DeVito cover - the same image that graces this first Radio Archives audiobook. Twenty years have passed and Joe and I, not to mention Lester Dent, are reunited in a new series, "The Wild Adventures of Doc Savage", from Altus Press.
Doc Savage is rapidly becoming a Solar Myth - the bronze-skinned golden-eyed immortal hero who can never die. Now he's starring in his first audiobook and I can't say how delighted I am to have authored it.
There wouldn't be a "Python Isle" audiobook if it were not for the success of "The Adventures of Doc Savage", which Radio Archives released in 2010 on the 25th anniversary of the original National Public Radio broadcasts. Producer-director Roger Rittner and I considered a number of excellent voice actors to read this historic first Doc audio release. We both thought it would be wonderful if one of the talents who worked on the original Doc radio show could narrate this novel.
Happily, Michael McConnohie turned in a splendid chameleon-like job of bringing "Python Isle" to life. Listening to words you wrote years before can bring out the self-critic in a novelist. I can tell you that I fell into that trap only to have Michael's steady, compelling voice transport me out of myself and back to 1934 and the always-absorbing world of the mighty Man of Bronze.
At the end of "Death in Silver", Lester Dent drafted a blurb for the next adventure of his seminal superman - the one he never got to write. What Dent wrote sets up the story of "Python Isle" so perfectly that it cannot be improved upon. So I will quote it in full:
Doc and his men were relaxed, unconcerned, now that the trouble was over. They were accustomed to this sort of thing. They had been through it before.
They would go through it again, too--as much and more. Within the month, a fantastic, perilous series of adventures would befall them, although they had no way of foreseeing that.
Renny--Colonel John Renwick, the engineer who was now in South Africa--would be first to come in contact with the grisly mystery of Python Isle. A man would come out of the jungle, a wasted, stumbling bundle of bones. He spoke to Renny. And the instant Renny heard that voice, he was condemned to mysterious death.
For the words the man whispered had to do with a fantastic secret, a secret that was not of Africa, but of an incredible place in the vastness south of the Indian Ocean. It was of Python Isle that he spoke, and of the unholy thing to be found there, a thing which no man understood; he spoke of a treasure, too, a treasure for which men killed and themselves, died.
He wore weird garments, this man who came to Renny; he was a white man, yet his speech was strange. But most ghastly of all was the thing that was wrong with him--the spell wrought by the sorcery of Python Isle.
And because that strange fellow spoke to Renny, death was to strike, not only at Renny, but at Doc Savage, distant half around the world, in New York City.
Are you hooked? I thought you would be...
The Critics Love "Python Isle"!
Vic Sage - "The Retroist"
"'Python Isle' is superbly narrated and acted by Michael McConnohie and produced and directed by Roger Rittner. Please believe me when I say this: This is what all radio plays and audiobooks should strive to sound like!"
Barry Reese - "Reviews from the 86th Floor"
"Production values are top notch and the narrator, Michael McConnohie, does a fine job with story, capturing the essence of each character. Well worth your money! I give it 5 stars out of 5."
Tim Cundle - "Mass Movement Magazine"
"It's an incredible tale of an ancient tribe of Solomon, a queen and a sorcerer locked in political struggle, pirates, New York gangsters, undiscovered Islands, lost explorers, hijacked zeppelins and much, much, much more. Michael McConnohie narration is nothing short of breath taking, capturing Dent and Murray's frantic pacing perfectly whilst bringing each and every character to glorious life. "Python Isle" is an astonishing accomplishment that I can't recommend highly enough. Brilliant. Just...Brilliant."
Steven Brandt - "Audiobook Heaven" and "SF Site"
"Doc Savage is conquering the audiobook world in 'Python Isle', the first Doc Savage story to be produced in an audio format. Radio Archives has taken the well-traveled hero, and brought him to life in this amazingly high-quality production. Michael McConnohie lends his voice talent to this adventure. His narration comes through the center channel as usual, but his character voices come from the left or right, putting the listener right in the middle of the action. McConnohie's melodramatic voices are perfect for this recording as well, giving it kind of an old-time radio feel."
Timothy Knight - "Hero Press"
"'Python Isle' is classic Doc Savage brought to life by the authentic tones of McConnohie, who does a superb job of individualizing the voices of the characters without rendering them incomprehensible. Directed by Roger Rittner, the sound quality, effects and music are perfectly blended to complement the story without being obtrusive and help conjure the pulp 1930s of Doc Savage as he journeys from his New York base to an isolated, storm-enshrouded island in the Indian Ocean."
Penny Kenny - "Comics Bulletin"
"The skillful use of language and vocabulary is one of the delights of the story, and narrator Michael McConnohie's smooth, rich voice is more than up to the task of bringing it to life for the listener. Without overdoing it, McConnohie brings out the humor in lines that could easily be glided over, and he creates tension simply by the way he reads a passage. I don't think I'll ever be able to read a Doc Savage book again without hearing McConnohie's interpretation in my head. If you're looking for a fun action-adventure story, or if you want to try some of the original pulp fiction, you need to give the 'Python Isle' audiobook a try."
Tommy Hancock - "All Pulp"
"From fist fights and gun battles to harrowing chases in various locales all the way to a ride and epic conflict aboard a Zeppelin, 'Python Isle' delivers all the thrills and chills anyone could want. With material like this, one would think that it would be difficult for an audiobook version to add anything at all to it. Boy, one would be wrong. 'Python Isle' from Radio Archives takes this story from the pinnacle it already reaches in prose to an unbelievable high mark as an audiobook. Michael McConnohie is more than the 'reader' or 'narrator' of this adventure. He brings the exact intensity and passion to this story that any well crafted Doc tale would command. McConnohie makes this feel like a full cast audio drama and that brings the listener completely into the folds of the story. It was nail biting, cliff hanging, and inspiring."

Great Docd Savage story; superb performance
July 15, 2011
Reviewer: Arthur Sippo from Highland, IL United States
Will Murray tells a great Doc Savage story and really 'channels' Lester Dent's spirit and talent.
The performance by Mike Maconnahie is stunning. He does so many voices so well it is almost like a full cast production!
The production values are high. The presentation is superior. A superb product all around. I eagerly await the next volume in this series

Absolutely fantastic! The narrator did all kinds of different voices for all the characters and kept everything very well paced. All audiobooks should be like this one.

You know how hard it can be to get your kid to go to bed, especially when they're feeling rambunctious. You can make it a little easier, though, by making their bed with fun, colorful bedding that depicts their favorite characters. Your kid's bedroom is the one room in the house that's really theirs, so make them feel as comfortable as possible. Your little boy or little girl will be proud to show off their room to their friends when it's made with kids' bedding from Kmart. You can shop for blankets, throws, bed tends, comforters, pillows, sheets and even complete bedding collections to give your kids a bedroom they'll love.
The most noticeable piece of bedding on your kids' bed is bound to be the comforter, so take some time selecting one your kid will really enjoy. Once they outgrow their baby crib, most kids move on to a twin-size bed; but you can find kids' comforters in all sizes from twin to king. You can find comforters for young children that feature characters like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Minnie Mouse, and you can also find more mature comforters for teenagers. Comforters are big, warm blankets that can help keep your little ones snug and toasty on those cold winter nights.
Next you'll need some soft sheets underneath that big, cozy comforter. Now that your kids are too big for the crib, you can't use that baby crib bedding anymore; you need to outfit their new bed with some big-boy or big-girl sheets. Kids' sheets at Kmart come with images of popular characters like Angry Birds, Super Mario and Tinker Bell. If you want to give your kids soft sheets, pay attention to thread count; generally a higher thread count makes for a softer, more luxurious feel.
Remember to look at some fun kids' pillows and shams. These decorative pillows feature images of popular characters and cartoons, and are a great way to accessorize your kids' beds. Choose from traditional rectangular pillows, or go for a cuddle pillow in the shape of a friendly animal or cartoon character. A couple kid-friendly pillows can really put the finishing touches on your children's bedrooms and give them a space where they can play and sleep in comfort.
A kid's bed should have kid's bedding. Whether it's an adorable Minnie Mouse sham or a WWE throw blanket, you're sure to find something that appeals to your little girl or little boy. At Kmart, our kids' bedding is made to be decorative, warm and comfortable. We stock a huge selection of bedding from great brands like Sweet Jojo Designs, Cannon and Nickelodeon. Shop here to get the bedding your kids will love at budget-friendly prices.

Is masculinity in crisis? Some people would have you believe so. The world we live in today is a very different place to the one that our fathers and grandfathers inhabited – traditional gender roles have become blurred, and old stereotypes have begun to decay. Compared with a generation ago, the very idea of what it means to be a man is more abstract. It sometimes feels as if the model of the 20th-century man – stoical, tough, heroic – has vanished into thin air. And, what's worse, nobody has stepped in to fill his shoes.
But then, certain things haven't changed. Values like integrity, strength and courage. Fundamental masculine codes of behavior that hold true, regardless of time or place. The question is, how do we interpret them in modern times? This February, HUGO BOSS gathered six men in the London studio of the renowned photographer and multi-platinum selling artist, Bryan Adams, to find out. They came from all over the world, bringing a diverse range of stories and experiences. The goal of the #manoftoday project was to take a snapshot of masculinity in the 21st century. To celebrate those enduring values and to see how men are putting them into action right now.
Take Niko Baur, 34, from Ulm in south Germany. He showed that in life, it's not just about the cards you're dealt. It's how you play the hand. When his daughter was born with a rare genetic condition, he put his family first –and showed what it means to be a modern father.
Or Samuel Hayward, 26, who showed that following in your father's footsteps doesn't mean you can't forge your own path. He's a firefighter, just like his dad. He's working a stressful job while dealing with the social pressures of being a young man by applying the lessons his father taught him to the modern world.
Then there was Joshua James Jacobs, 28, who grew up in Kansas racing sprint cars with his dad. He showed that following your dreams isn't always easy. It can mean leaving things behind; it can even mean having to start over from scratch. But everyone deserves a second chance, and, as he puts it, "we all owe it to ourselves to be exceptional."
Juan Carlos Baumgartner, 43, travelled all the way from Mexico City to London to be a part of the #MANOFTODAY campaign. He runs a successful architecture firm, with offices in North and Latin America, but he hasn't let that success color his ambitions. He stays true to his original aim, which is to set a new standard for the industry – one that puts sustainability first. But what comes first for him will always be his family.
Ahmad Al Boloushi travelled from Kuwait, a distance of nearly 5,000 kilometers, leaving behind his wife and his one-year-old son. He came to represent the Middle East and show that masculinity can be something progressive and supportive. He and his wife run The Hybrids, one of the region's most popular fashion blogs. His success reminds men that they shouldn't be afraid to express their style.
Javier Fernandez Piera, 38, didn't travel quite so far. He came from Madrid, where he was born and raised. But his journey through life has been anything but simple. He went against the wishes of his family and put his reputation on the line to pursue his lifelong passion: magic.
These six subjects painted a vivid portrait of what it means to be a #manoftoday. And social psychologist Professor Brendan Gough, who has studied contemporary masculinity in depth, was on hand to make sense of it all. He believes that the loosening of gender roles has given men more freedom to express themselves, which has resulted in the concept of masculinity becoming more open to interpretation.
"The role of the male in contemporary society is more diverse and dynamic than it has ever been," he explains. "For instance, we're seeing men take on closely involved parental roles that have been historically associated with women. They're increasingly in touch with their emotions, too. But at the same time, they're showing a new appreciation for traditional masculine values. The Man of Today is a blend of the old and the new."
In other words, there is a balance at play – and it's that very same balance that defines BOSS Bottled, the fragrance of the #manoftoday. Will Andrews, Principal Scientist in the PG fragrance creation team, has spent a long time trying to put his finger on what makes it such a timeless scent. "When it was released in 1998, it was quite groundbreaking," he says.
"It utilized those warm, woody, fougèrenotes that form the backbone of classic masculine fragrances. But it balanced them with soft fruits and vanilla notes, which are considered more feminine. It's an adventurous, distinctive scent – but the reason so many men identify with it is that it's also entirely wearable."
Versatile, timeless and full of contrasts. The fragrance notes for BOSS Bottled just happen to describe many of the qualities of the modern man that were on display in London this February. If our six Men of Today are anything to go by, masculinity isn't in crisis after all. Far from it. Men today are better than they've ever been.

Chest Pain Centers strive to quickly diagnose cardiac patients, begin treatment within minutes and significantly improve the chance of a positive outcome. According to SCPC, Chest Pain Centers reduce mortality rates by 37 percent.
"This reaccreditation reflects the hard work and dedication of a multidisciplinary team of skilled staff and physicians providing the highest standards of care to our community," says Barry Hackshaw, MD, Medical Director, Cardiac Catheterization Lab, Eisenhower Medical Center.
The hospital works closely with paramedics who perform pre-hospital 12-lead EKGs (electrocardiograms). Detailed heart data from the EKGs are transmitted from the field to the emergency department physician. If a heart attack is confirmed, the hospital's Cardiac Catheterization Lab and Emergency Department teams are immediately activated.
Upon arrival, the patient is quickly treated and sent to the catheterization lab. A lifesaving balloon is inflated, followed by a stent placement in the blocked artery that is causing the patient's heart attack, reestablishing blood flow and reducing damage to the cardiac muscle. While the national standard for door-to-balloon time is 90 minutes, in 2012 Eisenhower's Chest Pain Center reduced its average to just 70 minutes.
In addition to the 12-lead EKG capabilities, Eisenhower has focused on raising awareness in the community, educating patients on the early recognition of heart attack, pre-hospital care and the importance of calling 911 to activate Emergency Medical Services should the patient experience chest pain. When it comes to heart muscle, every minute counts.

Stories from people who were children during World War II and the objects in this exhibit animate the past and inform us of a time when war took over daily life. "Retrospect is a very interesting thing," says Ruthie Kallnder. "At the time I don't recall any of the information we got as being propaganda," but the government tried to influence children to make "necessary" sacrifices. Propagandists made the war a battle between good and evil, democracy and fascism. They also asked children to share in the war effort. In response, many children took on more responsibilities. Ruthie explains that boys and girls felt "if that's what it was going to take" to win they "were willing to do it." The memories of the people in this exhibit and their wartime actions show the power of propaganda's messages and its lasting affect on their lives. Propaganda posters, children's books, and classroom assignments demonstrate how propagandists reached children and involved them in the national war effort.

In this day and age, when money is tight and the economy forces us to tighten our belts, we're all about free horsepower. While the big stroker fat-block is cool, along with that honking 6-71 blower, if the money isn't there, then you have to go about adding power the old-fashioned way-through dyno tuning.
With that in mind, we tackled the task of trying to add as much power as we could to this dream machine, a '69 Chevelle SS packing the legendary 396 big-block. Not the 375-hp version, this car's near-stock 325-hp engine was in need of some power. The owner was thrilled with his new toy, but less than ecstatic when it clicked off mid-15-second elapsed times at the drag strip. Now, 325-horse/automatic Chevelles were not 13-second rides from the factory, but we figured a high-14 was within the realm of possibility. We wanted to see what this bad boy made to the rear tires.
Equipped with a stock Quadrajet, and only enhanced with an Edelbrock 2.0 polished intake manifold and a set of Flowmaster mufflers, this Glacier Blue A-body was perfect for a chassis-dyno tuning session. We hauled our test mule down to Tune Time Performance in Toms River, New Jersey, where we strapped the Chevelle to the Mustang dyno in search of some free power
In addition to seeing what the car made near-stock trim and what we could squeeze out of it, we also decided to pit the Quadrajet (enter your favorite detracting name here) against a pair of Holley carbs we had lying around. We brought with us a Holley 750 HP double-pumper and a Holley 670 cfm Street Avenger vacuum secondary mixer.
We started out by baselining the Chevelle, but had to abort the first pull because the air/fuel reading showed that the engine was way too lean (16.1). After adjusting the mixture screws on the the Quadrajet, the 396 pumped out 199 (corrected) horsepower and 274 lb-ft of torque.
With found the base timing coming in at 42 degrees overall, so this was the first tweak. We added 8 degrees, bringing the timing total to 50. We let the car rip again, and found six horsepower, bringing the total to 205, but more importantly the torque figure checked in at 284 lb-ft, a solid 10 lb-ft improvement.
With the Quadrajet pushing out as much as it could, we swapped to the big boy of the bunch, the 750 HP. After modifying the fuel lines as needed, we let the big-block sing once again, and even though the engine was now, as overheard by onlookers, "pig rich", the Chevelle eked out 206 horsepower and 291 lb-ft of torque. With the air/fuel well into the 11.5:1 range, we swapped the jets both front and back in search of a leaner reading and hopefully more horsepower. While the air/fuel settled in at 12.5:1, the power remained the same. While we gained one horsepower and seven lb-ft of torque, the 750 HP would certainly have proven to be more favorable if the Rat was inhaling through something like an Edelbrock Performer RPM and exhaling through a set of headers instead of factory manifolds.
