Are meat substitutes wholesome? I'm eating just about everything I used to except its not "real". I am 100% vegan-ized but worried I'm doing all this for little nutritional gain. I've been eating Gimme Lean beef flavor and Boca Burgers and chicken flavored patties. Also tofurkey, tofu and even soyrizo. Any thoughts?
The meat substitutes such as Boca Burgers are ok once in a while but it's not a good idea for every meal. Check the nutritional panel on the package. Many of them are high in fat. Soyrizo is high in fat (9 grams) and sodium. At first I used more of the fake meats but when I started reading labels, I gave up most of them.
Good sources of protein to substitute for the fake meats are dried or canned red, green, or other variety lentils, kidney, pinto, garbanzo (chickpeas), black, black-eyed peas, or other variety of beans or quinoa.
www.nutritionmd.org has many bean burger recipes. I've made some and froze the extras to have on hand when I'm in a hurry. Since my son and I are the only ones following this lifestyle in my home, we usually have leftovers with the Kickstart recipes, which I don't mind at all.
You really have to read the ingredients. Not all meat substitutes are vegan. Vegetarian yes, but not always vegan.

Thanks for the input. Yes. I noticed that Morningstar products (just about all if them) use egg whites so I won't eat them. Thanks again.
Personnaly, I haven't found much among the replacement meats or cheeses that I enjoy. So much so that rather than try to replace them with a fake version, I go another way and replace the nutrients with other, but real foods. The one thing I haven't found a good replacement for is cheese. I drink and use in cooking plant milks, but no to the cheeses.
Fake meat products are certainly better than animal products in terms of health risks. However, I always encourage people to try and work their way towards as much of a whole foods diet as possible. If you do not already, try making legumes a center of the plate option for several meals a week. You can even get creative and make homemade veggie burgers, for example, from beans and grains (great recipes online). I had a sweet potato and oat burger the other night - with pickles, lettuce, tomato, and mustard - it was delish!
Susan Levin, MS, RDPCRM Director of Nutrition Education
The meat replacements where I live are expensive and come in very small packs. So, our family gets them more like once or twice a week rather than once or twice a day, and in small portions.
I also cook tofu once a week and drink soy milk daily for breakfast. The others days... beans, lentils, chickpeas, and more beans! I cook up a big batch of beans early in the week and try out different recipes based around those type of beans for the whole week. (I put half of them in the freezer till I need them so they don't spoil.)
Another good meal combination would be a starch with a vegetable. Someone cooked me mashed potatoes with cauliflower the other day and it was much more filling than I would have thought.

It depends on what you like cheese for - finding good slices for sandwich use, probably not so much; but, there's a good recipe for a cheesy sauce floating around here (Use the Search function to look for it) that works for mac'n'cheese, nachos, over baked potatoes (baked potato with broccoli and cheesy sauce is yummy).
What is the thinking and recommendation of PCRM with regard to Isolated Soy Protein which is known by a variety of names, is formulated into related items such as Textured Vegetable Protein, and is a main ingredient in many of the meat replacement items and protein bars?
TVP is an ingredient in some of the recipes in Dr. Barnard's book on diabetes, but I have recently read in one of Dr. McDougall's books about his staunch warnings to avoid these items.
And same question about Hemp Protein, which Brendan Brazier utilizes and recommends in his books?
There is no research showing that isolated soy protein is bad for your health. However, because it is so processed, we would consider it a "transitional food" - a good product if it helps you to transition off of meat products and into more whole foods like legumes and grains.
I think hemp protein is fine. I've never seen any controversy around it.
I hope that helps!
Thanks for the response. I am trying to find some common ground on a few of the key parameters of vegan diet among PCRM principlals.
For reference, I suggest reading the section "Fake Soy Foods Cause Harm" (not much equivocation there!) in Chapter 10, page 142, of Dr. McDougall's relatively new book The Starch Solution (2012).
I respect Dr. McDougall's opinion in the matter. And I totally agree that concentrated (isolated), excess protein in the diet is the last thing most of us need. But there is no research showing that soy consumption is harmful to human health, quite the contrary. If you have not already, check out our latest summary of the evidence with soy here: http://pcrm.org/health/health-topics/soy-and-your-health.
That being said, I do not want to encourage the consumption of anything that makes someone feel uncomfortable. So if soy products create any sort of anxiety, it's not worth it. Enjoy the scores of other beans available!
I'm so gladd and relieved to hear that soy is not all bad...that perhaps having some each day is fine, as long as one doesn't ONLY live on soy milk, tofu and soy burgers alone! For example, having a little soy milk with my coffee and tea, and trying some tofu cream cheese with my bagel, I would think this is great for just as you mention - transitioning to veganism. It helps to make use of the products that are there, soy-based, and at least initially, taste good so it makes keeping to the vegan kickstart, easier for newbies!
Susan,once again,thank you so much for being the voice of reason! As someone who has been around this "healthier eating " world for a while, it is obvious that there are many common denominators within the leaders of the whole foods- plant based community, but also things that are disagreed on. Even on this awesome site, there are variations to the plan in some of the celebrities' recipes and tips. Most of the Drs have kind of " agreed to disagree" with encouragement to worry more about the 95% that is clear than the 5% that is not, as in the end it is the 95% that matters. The goal of any public forum such as this should be,IMHO, to put the most accurate info out there. The rest is up to us. Some will easily make the changes, but others will never make it to 100%, and that's okay. Any move in the right direction is positive. Demonizing foods that are not absolutely pure does not help those that are struggling to make better choices. I wish I could totally live on brown rice, veggies, beans, water,and 2 fruits a day, and I am closer to that than 5 years ago. But, at least for today, I will continue to enjoy my coffee, occ. wine, veggie burgers on the patio, and a salad I love that has to have veganaise in it. These are conscious choices that I make carefully, but for many just starting out its just darn hard to know what to eat. Thank you again for your perspective

Marlon Brando made his first indelible mark on audiences in this powerful adaptation of Tennessee Williams' Pulitzer Prize-winning play. Gone With the Wind's Vivien Leigh is the neurotic belle Blanche du Bois who struggles to hold on to her fading Southern gentility against the brutish badgering of her brother-in-law, Stanley Kowalski (Brando). Leigh, Kim Hunter, Karl Malden and the rich black-and-white cinematography were all awarded Oscars for this cinematic classic.

Either that or Microsoft is desperate/scared. They are taking a big risk here hoping that 8 and really needs to make sure this takes off and does well. And yea, W8 sales are doing well but then again, this is also the year of the tablet. Tablet sales have been doing well for the major 3 all year. I like W8 on a tablet and if I buy another tab, I am probably going to get a W8 tablet. I like the idea of having full Windows around on a portable/touch device.
So true. Apparently Microsoft has little convinced in their own products.

When the first C6 ZO6 prototype was shown at the Detroit auto show in 2005, it was displayed beside the newly revised factory race Corvette, the C6.R. While GM officials took pains to highlight the mechanical similarities between the two cars, there was one key area in which the flagship street and competition Vettes continued to diverge: the brand of their tires. The racer was fitted with racing slicks from Michelin, while the production car wore Goodyear F1 EMT run-flats. But unbeknownst to most showgoers, Corvette Chief Engineer Tadge Juechter and company were developing the upcoming 2009 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 supercar on all-new Michelin rubber.
The switch mirrored an earlier move on the part of Corvette Racing. While the C5-Rs used Goodyears from 1999 through the end of 2003, these tires were dropped after a crushing loss to the Michelin-shod Ferraris at the Corvette's 50th anniversary race at the '03 Le Mans. The team studied the race data and determined that the Michelins provided Ferrari with the winning edge. The 2004 season proved a huge success for the now-Michelin-equipped Vettes, including a class win at Le Mans. So perhaps it was only natural that the Corvette engineering team would look to the French tire maker when developing the ZR1.
When the ZR1 was unveiled in 2007, the big news-besides the massive brakes and 638hp horsepower engine-centered around the car's Zero Pressure (run-flat) Michelins. The new tire received rave reviews from the automotive press, prompting many Corvette owners to seek them out as replacement rubber for their own cars. But while Michelin had released an all-season Zero Pressure tire for the C5 in 2001, the company lacked a comparable offering for the C6.
That changed in 2008, when the Pilot Sport 2 Zero Pressure (PS2ZP) was introduced for both the fifth- and standard sixth-generation Vettes. But much to the surprise of Z06 owners, the PS2ZP still wasn't available in OE sizes for their car. The reason? During extensive testing, it was found that the existing PS2ZP wasn't much better than the Z06's factory rubber. As a result, Michelin decided to suspend the release of the tire until sufficient performance improvements could be effected.
The tire was revamped, and in August Team VETTE was invited to the Spring Mountain Motorsports Ranch to compare the new Z06-sized (275/35 ZR18 and 325/30 ZR19) PS2ZP tire with its OE counterpart. Spring Mountain is located in Pahrump, Nevada, in the southwest corner of Nye County. It's essentially the middle of nowhere-45 miles west of Las Vegas and 60 miles east of Death Valley-which makes it a perfect spot for a racetrack. In addition to its full, 3.1-mile length, the Spring Mountain course can be divided into 1.5-mile upper and 1-mile lower sections.

Home > Programs > Past Programs > Nonprofits in China
By any number of definitions and despite legal and regulatory uncertainty, the nonprofit sector in China is growing rapidly. There are over half a million registered nonprofits in China, with millions more grassroots organizations operating outside the formal legal regime. Continuing growth in the sector adds urgency to questions about the role of civil society in China, organizational governance, the parallel growth of Chinese philanthropy, and the relationship between grassroots nonprofits and larger government-organized NGOs.
The Nonprofits in China Program focused on the key challenges facing the growing Chinese social sector. We worked to leverage Harvard's resources to convene scholars and practitioners in Chinese nonprofits, and to catalyze practical solutions and academic research on subjects related to nonprofits in China.
On campus, the Program facilitated the convening of a Harvard conference on nonprofits in China, in which small panels of faculty from Harvard and other universities discussed specific dimensions of the nonprofit sector in China. This conference contributed to the ongoing development of a course on Chinese Civil Society.
In China, the Program engaged in joint research projects, executive training activities, and academic exchanges. It collaborated in the development of two nonprofit support initiatives: The China Foundation Center, and the One Foundation Philanthropic Research Institute at Beijing Normal University. Both represent Chinese responses to the nation's need for greater coherence in the sector, greater discipline in nonprofit management, and greater rigor in the theories and strategies that guide organizations in the sector.
For the international development community, the Program worked with international foundations in learning the landscape of China's nonprofit sector, and developing aid strategies and evaluation plans in response to the needs of and changing environment for China's nonprofits.
The Nonprofits in China Program work on these questions was guided by an Advisory Committee. Program Manager Xing Hu, along with the Committee, has engaged dozens of scholars, practitioners, and alums working to strengthen the nonprofit sector in China and solve its unique puzzles.
Below is a list of web resources in China where you can get directory information on nonprofits in China, and the citizen sector as a whole. Most of them are in Chinese.

Protein determination by UV absorption.
Protein Determination by UV Absorption
Near UV Absorbance
Near UV Absorbance is UV Absorbance at 280 nm: A simple spectrometer can quantify the amount of protein in a solution. Radiation absorption by proteins in the near UV depends on the content of Tyr and Tr (and to an extent on the amount of Phe and disulfide bonds). Thus the A280 varies greatly between different proteins (for a 1 mg/mL solution, from 0 up to 4 [for some tyrosine-rich wool proteins], although most values are in the range 0.5–1.5). This method has its advantages; it is simple, and the sample is recoverable. Be that as it may it also has disadvantages which include, interference from other chromophores, and the specific absorption value for a given protein must be determined. The extinction of nucleic acid in the 280-nm region may be as much as 10 times that of protein at their same wavelength, and hence, a few percent of nucleic acid can greatly influence the absorption.
Far UV Absorbance
Absorption of the peptide bond is strongly in the far UV with a maximum at about 190 nm. The strong absorption of proteins at these wavelengths has been used in protein determination. Because of the difficulties caused by absorption by oxygen and the low output of conventional spectrophotometers at this wavelength, measurements are more conveniently made at 205 nm, where the absorbance is about half that at 190 nm. Most proteins have extinction coefficients at 205 nm for a 1 mg/mL solution of 30–35 and between 20 and 24 at 210 nm. Various side chains, including those of Trp, Phe, Tyr, His, Cys, Met, and Arg (in that descending order), make contributions to the A205. The advantages of this method include simplicity and sensitivity. The sample is recoverable and in addition there is little variation in response between different proteins, thus permitting near-absolute determination of protein. Disadvantages of this method include the necessity for accurate calibration of the spectrophotometer in the far UV. Many buffers and other components, such as heme or pyridoxal groups, absorb strongly in this region.

I considered contact lenses but I know I'd get tired of having to put them on when I get up and take them off at night.
A year and a half ago. I got a cheap pair just to wear at home since I wear contact lenses whenever I go out.
Are you serious?
Stole them from the pub last night
I don't think I'll ever get LASIK eye surgery because of the price and potential side effects. When did you get the surgery done? And did you have any complications?
About 9 years ago, but then I got LASIK
The sooner you get glasses, the better. Straining your eyes like that isn't good. What's stopping you from getting your eyes checked? A standard eye exam shouldn't last longer than 15 minutes. The worst part of an eye exam, in my opinion, is the corneal reflex test. And it's not even that bad. They'll either blow air onto your eyes or touch it with something.
I've never even had an eye test, but I definitely know I need glasses. I've tried some friends glasses and wow, what an improvement.
I've missed 2 appointments at Walmart for an eye test, but I already have the frames picked out there that I want. Just gotta get around to the test.
It's really frustrating for me especially when it comes to typing and reading on computer, since I'm actually sitting on my couch around 15 feet from my 47 inch tv.
Text is so blurry I strain to view it and it drives me nuts. Sometimes I get headaches from straining to hard to read.

Ah, I see. No one says "spectacles" in North America. It's glasses or eye-wear.
I presume that he is referring to the fact that "glasses" are things you drink out of and "spectacles" are what you put on your face!
Thanks! It's the first designer frame I looked at and it was love at first sight. My last glasses were semi-rimless so I wanted to get a full-rimmed one to change up my style. It looks great on people with oval-shaped faces (like me).
Those burberry ones look great.
It's tempting when you put it that way. But it's way out of my price range at the moment. I'll consider it the next time I need to get glasses.
I had it done in late 2004 when I was 19. I had no complications, and in fact, my sister had it done a few months before me and my father had it done at the same time as me and all of them went great with no problems. The technology has come a long way since then, too. No more slicing your cornea with a blade, it's all done with a laser now which significantly reduces healing time and risk.
I will say that one of my eyes is getting a little blurry again and I may end up getting another surgery next year. The way I see it, even if it only lasts 9-10 years (which it shouldn't), the cost overall will be less than 10 years of eye exams, glasses, and contacts. Not to mention what it's worth being able to wake up and see the clock

Does anyone have or know any drills to help work on your non-dominant hand
Just start doing everyday jobs(carrying,drinking,eating,ext.) with your left hand. This has worked for me try it.
Just adding to what he said, do all your normal drills with your non-dominant hand. Or even have a non dominant hand only practice!
have a non dominant hand on practice try shooting with non dominant hand only dribble eat pickup stuff with your non dominant hand only
Great players are great leaders.Miamiheatboy
Will do and thanks for the advice
Try practice while using Tour dominant hand all the time. ;)
Start small, literally stand under the rim and hook the ball with your left hand, then start doing some layups at like half speed, then like 75% speed, then full speed. Then you can go crazy and start hitting floaters and stuff man. Its a great skill to have! remember! practice practice practice
do everday things. then after u get the hang of things start playin bball with yr left hand

An Index to Deadwood Newspapers
Why did we index our newspapers?
Because of a lack of original documents concerning Deadwood's early history, the library undertook the task of indexing early-day newspapers. The indexing began with the first issue of the Black Hills Pioneer of June 8, 1876. At this time, indexing has progressed through October 1886. New material is added bi-weekly.
Initially, all of Deadwood's papers (The Pioneer, the Black Hills Daily Times, and the Champion) were indexed. Because of the amount of information, only the Times is indexed after 1878. Of course, the date of any event cited in the Times can be used to cross-reference information in the Pioneer.
Keep in mind that the material presented here is in index form - in most cases, the full text of the articles is not reproduced. Also remember that political correctness did not exist in 19th century Deadwood - many terms used are now considered derogatory or slanderous, but are a true reflection of our history.

Before I met Tardeusz, I was only told he painted. But when I got to his (one extremely large) warehouse, I learnt he also sculpts large metal pieces and he pretty much built his entire house himself, the room, the bathroom, the kitchen, all out of reused materials. One all-rounded polish man he is.
If life was a building, this gentleman would have to be one of my cornerstones.

Aaron & Owen Smith
You might remember Owen (bottom photo) from San Francisco, I was privileged to have been introduced to his twin brother Aaron when I visited Los Angeles. Owen illustrates, Aaron paints. Both of them showered me with kindness beyond human abilities, such wonderful gentlemen they are.

Combining her love for Mathematics and Art, she creates the sickest looking pattern-work.
She would spend months planning for a piece, with mathematical equations and stuff like that (honestly I didn't know half of the equations she was talking about) and then she would spend hours and hours working on these intricate pieces.
This is Susan Happersett
Thankfully, a friend directed me to a video about Sophie and the print she did for the New York Subway. (Which you should watch here, it's only 4 minutes)
I'm assuming half of you didn't click on that link, because let's face it, most of us can't be bothered clicking on a video link and watching it. So this is me forcing Sophie's story down your throats.
Sophie runs a blog "Missed Connections". Missed Connections is a section in craigslist for lovestruck individuals to write to that drop dead gorgeous girl on the bus but never got the chance to talk to her because she was busy reading her book. What Sophie does is she draws these couples that write to each other in her own special way.
Yeah, now you want to watch the video don't you? Go ahead, click here.

The Corrigans have two sections in their kennel. Mr. Corrigan takes care of the dogs in his section, and Ms. Corrigan takes care of the dogs in her section. Mr. Corrigan's kennel area is in a barn about 85' long and 40' wide with a peaked metal roof. The bottom half of the walls is red and the top half is white. In the entryway was a metal pen about two feet off of the ground with three inch metal bars as the sides. The pen had no treated wire flooring (3.6(a)(2)(xii) and no covering. It contained four Labradoodles (3.6(c)(1)(i)-Primary enclosures). Plastic food and water containers were on the flooring of the pen and therefore not placed so as to minimize contamination by excreta and pests (3.9(b)-Feeding). The top edges of the enclosure were about three feet high. The dogs could lift themselves up onto the edges with their front paws hanging over. Any effort by the dogs would result in them toppling out of the pen. (3.6(a)(2)(iii)-Primary enclosures).
The kennel flooring was concrete and divided into two sections, one against each 85' long wall. Each section contained about 17 pens with chain-link doors and galvanized wire walls that extended 10 feet up to a flat, white metal ceiling. Each pen was about five feet wide and eight feet long. Three foot wide metal grates ran width-wise through the middle of every pen from one side of the kennel to the other.
Under the grates of the cages were pools of feces, urine and water (3.1(f)-Drainage and waste disposal). Mr. Corrigan told me that he sprayed the pens out with a water hose and sprayed the dirt and debris in every pen into the grates, which he then flushed and scraped out. (3.11(a)(1)-Cleaning). All of the grates had dark fur matted on them and too much filthy water for them to have been cleaned out this morning. It isn't likely that Mr. Corrigan cleans them every day (3.11(a)(2)-Cleaning). There was a water hose hook-up in the kennel. There was no water heater in the barn, and the dogs in the pens had nowhere to go to escape the water. Mr. Corrigan must not use hot water used to clean the pens (3.11(a)(3)-Cleaning).
Plastic food and water dishes for all of the dogs and puppies were on the kennel floors and therefore increasing contamination by excreta and pests (3.9(b)-Feeding).

"I absolutely loved this Christmas card and it was perfect for photos of my two children. However, I wish this card would have fit in a standard envelope. The square design costs extra in postage, even though it is not really bigger than an standard card. That is my only complaint. As usual, the customer service, quick turn around time, and prompt delivery were right on point with Tiny Prints. I am a loyal customer!"
"I love this design for holiday cards. We used it for 2014-2015 and the product turned out perfectly. The design is darling. I love that the words from a little Christmas tree. Also the photo sizes are perfect. Other designs were too big or oddly shaped."
"I have 5 littles and wanted to get a card made up quickly of them and this was just what I wanted. Beautiful, not too "holiday" themed so they could keep it up past the season if they wished. Most importantly, it was easy to make, shipped quickly, arrived well packed, and is better quality than a couple other places I have used in the past. Love the cards and will come back when I need to make others!"
"Too late for Christmas cards this, year, so we went with a "happy new year" theme and this was a great choice. Cheered it up a bit by changing the main greeting from blue to yellow. Photo reproduction on the printed version faithfully matched the online version. Nice work, Tiny Prints!"
"Beautiful Christmas Card. Our pictures turned out AMAZING. I received compliments on my MAKEUP?! That's a telling sign of how clear the pictures came out! Crazy. The quality, print were excellent. The best part was that we did 2 day delivery bc I am last minute on everything and they came the NEXT DAY! Great product, great company. I will definitely recommend Tiny Prints."

Biology majors at Willamette University graduate with a broad understanding of a multi-faceted discipline. Students learn alongside our faculty about topics ranging from signal transduction in cells to the symbiotic interactions among organisms. Hallmarks of our program include the investigative research opportunities available on and off campus, a seminar series that brings in nationally recognized scientists, and the close mentoring that occurs between faculty and students.
Core Courses
Our core courses introduce the connections between major subdisciplines: Cell Biology and Genetics: the Physiological Dynamics of Animals and Plants; and Ecology, Evolution, and Diversity. However, students are also encouraged to pursue their own interests within the framework of the major requirements. Each faculty member teaches a research methods course in their area of expertise — molecular genetics, plant systematics, or animal physiology.
The biology program emphasizes active participation and hands-on learning in classroom, laboratory and field settings.
Opportunities for Research with Faculty
Opportunities for research with faculty include the Science Collaborative Research Program (SCRP), Carson Grants and the year-long Wilson-Berg Scholarship in Cell and Molecular Biology.
Field-Oriented Courses
Field-oriented courses take advantage of the tremendous biodiversity in the Pacific Northwest. Coastal tide pools, carnivorous plant bogs, and ancient forests are all within driving distance of the capital city of Salem.
Willamette University is also a charter member of the Malheur Field Station and Wildlife Refuge in Oregon's high desert region. Post-session courses are available in Ecuador and Hawaii.
On-Campus Resources
On-campus resources include computer and student research laboratories, animal care and behavioral facilities, climate-controlled greenhouses, and two electron microscopes. These are complemented by the Martha Springer Botanical Garden, an extensive library support network, and numerous opportunities for research or internships in state-of-the art programs throughout the state (e.g., Oregon Health Sciences University, the Hatfield Marine Science Center, the Oregon Zoo, and the Oregon Department of Agriculture). Many graduates participate in off-campus study programs, and many successfully pursue graduate or professional degree work in the sciences. Others may apply their knowledge of biology to careers in fields as diverse as teaching, law, and news media or to volunteer work in the Peace Corps or Nature Conservancy.

JACKSON – The Starkville Academy Lady Volunteers didn't waste any time getting a lead on Hillcrest Christian School Tuesday night and went on to defeat their hosts 67-30.
Starkville Academy, which improved to 24-0, jumped out to a 19-2 advantage and increased the margin to 39-16 at halftime.

What's this, then?
According to Fiat, it's a 'small supercar'. Back in the real world, it's a yet-hotter 500 Abarth cooked up to celebrate 50 years since the launch of the original 595 Abarth.
The 50th Anniversary Abarth gets a smidge more power than the 500 Abarth, the 1.4-litre T-Jet engine gaining 20bhp under its tiny, scorpioned bonnet to deliver a 178bhp maximum at 5,500rpm. It'll do 0-62mph in just under seven seconds and 140 flat-out.
This being a hot Fiat, there's plenty of trinketry too. The 50th Anniversary differentiates itself from standard 595s with some hand-finished badges, more leather inside and flat white paint outside, as well as Brembo brakes and the obligatory plaque telling you which of the 299 made you own. Oh, and that scorpion on bonnet, is, like David Dimbleby's recent body art, a tattoo rather than a sticker.

Quick Notes
What We Did
Give an old-school 355ci a new look and a lot more power
Bottom Line
We gained 111 hp and 600 rpm on the dyno with a simple top-end kit
Cost (Approx)
Mystery engines are always more entertaining than their crate/off-the-shelf brethren; not knowing what's on the inside can make them more or less interesting real fast. Our mystery motor could have high-compression pistons with forged internals ... or it could have a less-than-willing stock bottom end with a set of beat-up main bearings-it's just part of the deal when getting into a running car or engine secondhand. Originally, this little goose sat between the framerails of a second-gen Camaro, Henry D's project F73, to be exact. And as most of you know, we pulled this old slug from the car to perform a perfect summer makeover and also to give us as much room as possible for the chassis to be retrofitted with an all-new Detroit Speed suspension.
Considering our little mill was in perfect running order before we pulled it, we couldn't think of a better way to showcase its power potential than with a complete makeover-all of which would only call for bolt-ons while leaving the bottom end alone. We wanted to keep the costs down and keep the work performed to a minimum. The 355 featured a set of vintage cast-iron Corvette heads, a leaky oil pan, a stamped timing cover, and an older dual-plane manifold. Not exactly modern, but a solid performer nonetheless.
We outlined this build with a few basic rules: increase breathing with airflow, supply ample fuel, and maximize the power for the street. The major makeover components consisted of a set of heavy-puffing aluminum CNC-ported Brodix heads, single plane manifold, and a Comp valvetrain. While our unkown cam was pulled, we relied on a high-lift 0.520/0.540-inch intake/exhaust with 236/242 degrees of duration at 0.050-inch. It all sat on 110 degrees of lobe separation.
Topping it off is a gasket-matched SP1 single-plane manifold, also from Brodix. For good measure, we replaced our oiling system with all Moroso pieces, including a high-volume oil pump and pickup, and a deeper sump pan with screen. To maintain our street creed, we upgraded the fuel delivery with a 750-cfm Quick Fuel Technology carburetor and placed our confidence in a drop-in, ready-to-go MSD distributor.
We enlisted Westech Performance Center in Mira Loma, California, to get us baseline numbers from the original setup. With numbers in hand, we tore down the small-block and took care of its aging looks with a fresh coat of Chevy Orange paint.
Was it worth the effort? Considering it took all of two days-one for the teardown and rebuild and another spent on the dyno-111 additional ponies was well worth it, almost too easy to be honest. Tag along to see how we did it and how to do your own small-block makeover.

Last week's Windows 8 launch wasn't just a major product release for Microsoft. It seems to have been a banner day for the government-funded hackers who take Microsoft's software apart, too.
On Tuesday the French firm Vupen, whose researchers develop software hacking techniques and sell them to government agency customers, announced that it had already developed an exploit that could take over a Window 8 machine running Internet Explorer 10, in spite of the many significant security upgrades Microsoft built into the latest version of its operating system.
Source: Forbes
Really interesting read. It's also noted that it'll take other hackers a while before breaking into Windows 8 becomes more common.

same card, and i can play bf3 on native res, at high settings. but remember i believe we both got the evga superclocked verson, which is going to be faster and better than the normal 560.
i paid $300 for it when it first came out. since this is the card i use, and its the card on sale, i suggest ths one will play the most recent games on high or at least medium settings at native res.

I'm tired of hearing this unsubstantiated opinion stated as fact. As far I'm aware, this is nothing more than a tenacious myth. Go to nvidia's forums and you'll see plenty of people whining about plenty of problems with their drivers. Go to amd's forums and you'll see the same.
Nvidia's driver's are more stable...
Posted 24 November 2012 - 00:52
That's anecdotal evidence. If you really want to discuss that, I could mention I had problems with all nvidia video cards I've owned, and that the most unstable drivers I've ever seen were nvidia's under Vista in 2007. But that'd be just as irrelevant.
I have both AMD/ATI and Nvidia cards.... my ATI drivers are constantly having issues. on windows server 2008R2, 7 and 8. Skyrim is unplayable on my ATI card and Fallout NV is as well...

Screening Still Important But Sometimes Best Treatment is Watching and Waiting Says Utah Expert
Jess Gomez
– Prostate cancer screening. It's rare that three words can cause so much controversy. But in the medical community, the number of opinions on when and how to screen for prostate cancer are varied and strong.
And when it comes to the best way to treat men with prostate cancer symptoms, the chasm grows even wider. But despite all the treatment options available today, sometimes the best option is doing little or nothing.
Jay T. Bishoff, M.D., medical director of the Intermountain Urological Institute at Intermountain Medical Center, is an advocate of early screening, and despite the fact that he is a surgeon, favors a treatment approach known as "active surveillance" over more radical, and potentially damaging, options. He points to Roger Holtan's case as an example.
Holtan was diagnosed with an enlarged prostate in 1999 when he was 57 years old. A biopsy produced negative results for prostate cancer, even though his PSA was slightly elevated. While he had regular check-ups over the next 10 years, his prostate was not biopsied again.
A little over two years ago, a digital rectal exam during a routine physical caused alarm bells to ring. A biopsy of Holtan's prostate found cancer cells. The cancer on one lobe of his prostate was "scored" at a 6 on the Gleason scale on one lobe, and a 7 on the other.
A Gleason scale measures prostate cancer tumors much like a Richter scale measures earthquakes, only on a microscopic level. While a "6" is an indicator that doctors and patients can hold off on seeking aggressive treatment, a "7" indicates the presence of cancer cells that are either far more aggressive, or far more widespread, and is likely to shake everyone into action. A Gleason "8," indicates a very aggressive cancer that will need attention and can rarely be ignored.
Holtan's score meant he had some time, but needed to start investigating treatment options.
He received lots of advice from friends and from physicians – some of it mainstream and sensible – some not. Some recommendations included costly procedures, others had the potential to produce lasting complications for his sexual and urinary health.
"I was more conflicted than ever," says Holtan. "Everyone had a different solution. I was upset. My family was upset. I really needed some direction."
To add to his confusion, a follow-up PSA test showed a significant drop in his PSA level – from 3.59 to 1.57.
And that's where controversy comes in.
While inexpensive, (roughly $94) a PSA test is not foolproof. It simply measures elevated levels of the PSA protein in the blood. And, an elevated PSA level can be caused by several things, including benign prostate enlargement (also known as benign prostatic hyperplasia, or a prostate infection. It can also indicate the presence of cancer cells.
But it's the possibility of false positives, and the costs associated with additional testing, that sometimes keeps physicians from recommending prostate screenings to their patients.
"This is dangerous thinking," says Dr. Bishoff. "Do we tell women not to get a mammogram, or tell others to skip their colonoscopies just because there 'might' be a false positive? No, we don't."
A trusted family physician suggested that Holtan see Dr. Bishoff at Intermountain Medical Center, who performed another biopsy. This time, the results showed no signs of cancer.
Together, they determined that the best course for Roger – now 68 years old – was to be on "active surveillance," a slightly more aggressive approach than doing nothing, which entails regular check-ups and biopsies to monitor the progression of the disease.
"I'm rather happy that we've continued doing what we're doing," says Holtan. "I'm going to be 70 this year, and as they say, I may die with this disease, but probably not from it."
Dr. Bishoff says there are two factors – besides confusion about guidelines – that keep men from seeking advice on prostate issues: embarrassment and fear.
Holtan scoffs, "No one wants to talk about it. But all men have prostates, and all men may be in my situation someday. They need to get checked, and if they find something,they need to get a biopsy. Don't wait," he says. " Go get it done."
If you have insurance, call your provider to determine your coverage level for prostate cancer screenings and make an appointment for a check up. If you don't have insurance, or your provider won't cover a prostate cancer screening, and you are at high risk for prostate cancer, call Intermountain Medical Center at 801-507-3800 to schedule an appointment.

I agree - it's much deeper than Moving Pictures.
