Thermocouple design for oven
can anyone give a simple design for measuring the temp on my oven? I have built the foundation and am ready to pour the slab. I need to start planning for temp probes.
Questions, how many temp probes placed where? where do I purchase them, what is the device that reads the temp probes? Can anyone provide a BOM (bill of materials) that I need to purchase to measure the perfomance of my oven?
what do I buy, how many, what are the connector types and most importantly, where do I buy. I saw where someone bought stuff on ebay and I went there, but I dont know what to purchase?
I need a design. thanks
Re: Thermocouple design for oven
That's the $10,000 question. Some people want 6 or 7 probes and like to track and graph and log each and every firing. Others just want 2 or 3 probes to show an average air temp or floor temp. What is your feeling on how much info you want?
You may even decide (Since you asked for "a simple design for measuring the temp on my oven") to just go with an infrared temp gun. They work great for surface temperatures and their useful around the house as well. The gun I am using even has an input to attach and read external probes which makes it even more useful.
I have seen quite a few comments from people who have installed probes that they hardly use them. They were good in the beginning to learn, but once you "know" your oven they were not necessary. If you set on using probes, I am sure you will get several responses with help on placing and buying. Good Luck
Re: Thermocouple design for oven
I'm a proud member of the no-probe club. I'm a techie at heart but decided to do it the old fashioned way. I figured these ovens have been working great for hundreds of years without probes.
I do have the Forno Bravo Infrared/Laser probe. It works great and is a fun gadget.
When all else fails, if you stick your hand in the oven and singe the hair on your forearm, you're probably ready for pizza!
Re: Thermocouple design for oven
If you are a commercial baker who needs consistency, thermocouples are a real help. Getting bread the right color on the outside while not being gummy or dried out on the inside requires accurate temperatures of the floor and dome. For pizza, not so much. Get it white, push the fire over, let it sit half an hour, you're good to go. I think that the infrared gun is the way to go for home use.
Re: Thermocouple design for oven
since the response is to not add the thermocouples, can someone send me the curves for heating and cooling a well insulated 40" oven? once the oven has risen to 800 degrees, how long does it take for this heat to saturate the core?
Re: Thermocouple design for oven
Don't let us talk you out of TC's to easily. We have a few guys on the board that really like them. I'm hoping some of our Thermocouple users will chime in and give their 2 cents
There have been several really in-depth TC discussions in the past. Try doing a search... here's a couple threads to get you started:
Re: Thermocouple design for oven
thanks for the info, I read those discussions. I am an engineer and I work with engineers. But I dont think I am really an engineer because I dont think I understand 1% of what they are talking about. I dont want a complicated discusion about where and why. I just want a simple design with manufacturer part numbers and quantities and where to purchase.
I think it may be a waste of time, sometimes I spend $ on useless high tech stuff also and never use it beacuse I am too lazy.
Is there anybody out there has a simple solution?
thanks for the links I enjoyed scanning them.
Re: Thermocouple design for oven
I work with TC's everyday and just had to know how my oven performed, so that is why I installed mine. We all could give you temp curves but there are too many variables in our custom oven construction (each is different) for them to be accurate.
As for where to buy, that is easy, Temperature
For my BOM:
KMQSS-125U-6, 3 each, 1/8 Stainless sheath 6" K-type with miniature connectors
TECK10-9, 3 each, 10ft extensions.*
HH308 Mini thermometer - reads 2 K-type TC's at a time.
OSXL653 IR gun thermometer +
*The extension wires were cheaper than a spool and connectors seperately.
+ Could look at the OS562 , is IR gun that also reads a K-type TC input so 2 meters for price of one.
Re: Thermocouple design for oven
Like Ken I am a techno-geek, unlike Ken, I have no restraint of this trait and spent a fair number of dollars on pre-made tcs with varying lengths of leads and sheathing all connecting to a display with data logging, wireless connection to my laptop and twenty functions I have yet to read about. What I found is what you read above, that the oven and its handling of heat is entirely predictable (compared to itself over time), you just learn that quicker with tcs. Mine are installed top o dome about 1" from inside surface, top of dome outside surface, left and right side 1" from inside surface half way up dome, left outer surface, close to center of floor 1 1/4" from cooking surface. Would I do it again? Not at those costs, but the solution below lifted from a fellow wfo builder in Florida is the simple approach you are looking for and makes it cheap to learn about your oven. I just wish I had found the post many bucks and two beatings earlier (the reader billed seperate from the tcs).
Hope this helps,
Until I read "The Bread Builders" book I had no idea what a thermocouple was. I Googled "thermocouple" and started reading and reading and reading. Anyway, here is what you need to know:
When metal is heated, it generates a very low electric current
Different metals generate different kinds of electric currents when heated
A thermocouple wire contains 2 wires (one positive & one negative)
Each wire is a different kind of metal
A thermocouple thermometer converts the difference is electric current between the 2 wires into degrees Fahrenheit (or Celciuis)
A thermocouple will measure the temperature where both wires touch
There are a lot of different types of thermocouples. The one you are looking for is Type K
To measure the temperature in the oven, you will need 3 components:
Thermocouple wire
Thermocouple connector
Thermocouple Thermometer
You can buy thermocouple wires (and connectors) pre-assembled but after doing some research I decided I could assemble everything myself a lot cheaper. If you have a basic wire cutter, and you are not afraid to use a screwdriver, don't go for the pre-assembled stuff.
I bought my supplies online from omega.com. Here is what I bought:
One HH-K-24-25 (= 25 feet of High Temp Glass insulated 24 Gauge Thermocouple K wire)
Four SMP-K-M (= Glass-filled nylon Thermocouple K Male Connector)
This will give you enough to make four 6 foot thermouples. When you get the wire, cut it into the desired length, connect one side to the connector and twist the wires on the other end together. The twisted wire side is where it's going to measure the temperature. Drill a hole into your firebrick and insert the twisted wire. The tip of the wire should be inside the brick and about 1" from the fire chamber. Fill up the hole with fireclay mortar or refractory cement. Voila, you got yourself a thermocouple. One thing that can be confusing is trying to figure out which wire is the negative or positive one when connecting the wire to the connector. Thermocouple wires are usually color coded but unfortunately they're not always color coded the same:)
Here is a fail proof trick: The wire that is attracted to a magnet is always the negative one.
Oh, and one last thing I learned: the smaller the gauge of the wire, the thicker it will be. Just think: "Small is the new Big"
Thermometer (type-K):
Although Omega does sell special thermocouple thermometers, they all seemed more than I was willing to spend (even the "value" ones). After a good amount of Googling, I determined that Sears was my new best friend. I found out that some of their multimeters can also read type-k thermocouples. Make sure to read the fineprint and see up until what temperature it will read. For $30 I bought Craftsman model #82139. These multimeters are not as accurate as the dedicated type-k thermometers but that's ok with me. I didn't find it worth to pay $100 extra to know if something was 700 or 710 degrees.
Re: Thermocouple design for oven
For my BOM:
KMQSS-125U-6, 3 each, 1/8 Stainless sheath 6" K-type with miniature connectors.
That link shows a probe that is good up to 425°F I would think it needs to go higher... say up to 1000°F. Maybe like their TJ36-CASUP-316U-12. Just an observation... I know absolutely nothing about TC's.

Originally written on The Other Paper | Last updated 2/12/13
In what has to be one of the funniest boxing knockouts— or worst dives— ever, former Minnesota Vikings and Atlanta Falcons defensive end Ray Edwards laid out an opponent without even touching the guy. Edwards, who was released by Atlanta in November, gets into the ring with some chubby little guy in a "Co-Main Event" professional boxing match in West Fargo, ND the other night and floors the portly tomato can with a right uppercut that was more wind than wallop. The guy goes down like a sack of rocks and just lays there. It's amazing people actually paid to see this fight — but probably not as mind boggling as the five-year, $30 million contract the Falcons paid Edwards to suit up for the team. Edwards is now 3-0 as a professional in the ring.

The X Factor
L.A. Reid Between the Lines! Dirty Tricks in Store on X Factor
We're not saying that The X Factor has been all flowers and rainbows, but this latest bit of news has even our eyebrows up. According to Celebrity News and Style, with only seventeen contestants left in the competition, L.A. Reid is prepared to take out the big guns -- specifically, against Simon Cowell -- in getting his boys to the top of the ticket.
Indeed, Reid "vowed to destroy" Cowell from day one. We could call that healthy competitive camaraderie (or...well, we could try), but now Reid's upping the ante of Nixonian malfeasance. Indeed, Reid pulled out Tricky Dick's timeless classic, saying he's prepared to use "dirty tricks" and "mind games" to get Cowell's ladies off the stage for good. "Even if I have to give really bad advice to the other contestants when their mentors are not around," Reid said, "I will!"
So far, Cowell's well aware of the blitzkrieg coming his way. We have yet to see if he'll retaliate against Reid's guys, but we're hoping that the acerbic Brit will take advantage of the opportunity to be the bigger man. After all, why would the contestants listen to anything Reid tells them now? We get a feeling that Simon's a little more protective of his credibility.

UNC women beat Michigan State 62-53 in NCAAs
CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (AP) -- Diamond DeShields had it all working: the pullup in transition, the stepback jumper over a defender, the defense, the rebounding.
Determined to put her lackluster NCAA tournament debut behind her, North Carolina's star freshman put on a dominating show to help the Tar Heels beat Michigan State 62-53 in Tuesday night's second round.
DeShields finished with 24 points and a season-high 12 rebounds, a reversal from the game that nearly put an early end to UNC's season.
The 6-foot-1 guard from Norcross, Ga., did it all with the ease -- and even swagger -- of a veteran.
"There were no nerves," she said. "I was extremely fired up for the game tonight. ... We were very comfortable as soon as that ball got thrown into the air. And it showed."
It sure did. The fourth-seeded Tar Heels (26-9) led by nine at halftime then dominated the opening minutes of the second half to turn the game into a rout.
North Carolina ran off 14 straight points to blow the game open, with DeShields scoring twice during that flurry to build a 57-31 lead with 11

MURRAY, UT – Who will be the healthiest principal in the Salt Lake Valley?
For the next three months, 15 school principals from around the valley are competing in the 2013 My Heart Challenge, sponsored by the Intermountain Heart Institute at Intermountain Medical Center, to improve their health and to motivate their students and communities to become healthier as well.
"Heart disease is the leading killer of Americans," said Donald Lappe, MD, chief of cardiology at the Intermountain Heart Institute at Intermountain Medical Center. "But many of the risk factors associated with heart disease can be reduced through simple lifestyle changes like diet and exercise. That's why we started the challenge. We want to help raise awareness of this issue and motivate not only the principals to improve their health, but the greater community as well."
Last year's inaugural challenge featured 12 city leaders who achieved amazing results, including collectively losing 179 pounds, reducing cholesterol by an average of 14 points, and decreasing the average waist circumference by 2.6 inches.
This year's participants are excited to make some healthy changes, too.
"My family has a long history of heart disease, and my mom died of a heart attack," said Karen Chatteron, principal of Cottonwood Elementary School in Holladay, and one of the 15 participants in the 2013 My Heart Challenge. "I've tried improving my health on my own, but this gives me the motivation to do what I need to in order to succeed, and so I'm excited to change my lifestyle."
The challenge officially kicks off on February 7 and concludes May 17. The principals will participate in weekly nutrition classes and personal exercise consultations to improve their diet and exercise. They will also undergo baseline testing, including a treadmill stress test, blood lipid profile, blood pressure, glucose, body mass index and a written health risk assessment and then will repeat those tests at the end of the three-month challenge.
As principals eat healthy, participate in cardio or strength activities, and plan and execute healthy activities for their school, they will earn points. At the celebration lunch on May 22, two $1,000 prizes will be given, one to the overall winner (based on points) and one to the most improved.
Participants include representation from Salt Lake City School District, Murray City School District, Granite School District, Jordan School District, Canyons School District and two private schools.

Theatre Space's latest production, "A Life" (in Cantonese), reveals the most essential element at the very last moment of one's life.
The strong production team includes Hugh Leonard (playwright), Rupert Chan (translator/adapter), Dominic Cheung (producer) and Jacob Yu (director). The story invites audiences to take a look at the most regrettable issue of a person's life.
The background to the story is set in Pok Fu Lam in Island South. As we visit with Drumm the old community where he grew up, and witness how he picks through the pieces of his past, we slowly get under the skin of this headstrong yet vulnerable old man.
On learning that he is suffering from a terminal illness, he decides to pay a visit to his friends Mary and Lar, a couple he has known since they were very young but whom he has not spoken to for years. It is followed by a second visit, this time with his wife Dolly. By taking another look at their relationships, Drumm takes stock of his past, or in his own words, tries to "total his sums, to demand an audit to know what he amounts to". In so doing, he recalls two evenings that have left indelible memories in him: a date with Mary in the park some 40 years ago, and his first public speech.
The present is built upon the past, and that is how Drumm sees himself in the elusive and highly subjective illusory past.
Performing at the show are Ko Kai-cheung, Patra Au, Luther Fung, Corinna Lee, Andy Tang, Ruby Chu, Keith Yeung and Annie Cheung.
Details of the performances are as follows:

Perry Puts Focus on Sonograms, Pat-Downs
2011-08-08 01:13:57Quote: The Legislature stepped in when it became clear that Perry's friend and lobbyist, Mike Toomey, had worked for Merck & Co., the producer of Gardasil. "No one thought that was good politics, but Perry believed it was the right policy,†Sullivan said. Perry has been supported by the prolife community since he served as lieutenant governor, said Graham. The lieutenant governor in Texas presides over the Senate, setting its agenda and naming committee members and leaders. "He structured the committees to facilitate the passage of prolife bills,†Graham said. When lawmakers proposed prochoice bills, Perry has intervened to block their progress, she said. "Texans expect less of their governor than people in many parts of the country,†Southern Methodist's Jillson said. That "leaves the governor a lot of time on his hands to focus on abortion, border security, school prayer and other hot-button issues.†firstname.lastname@example.com. firstname.lastname@example.com. ...

Heisey's first triple of the year.
"Since I've been with the Reds in 1989, we've never had a farm system this loaded," Bowden said. "If we were the New York Yankees and had unlimited dollars, we could have traded for Colon, (Jeff) Weaver, Rolen, (Cliff) Floyd, (Kenny) Rogers and Finley and gotten them all -- and still held onto our top five prospects. That's an amazing statement."
Heisey triples off the top of the wall in center.
I wish he could have swung in the first.
This is the ol Left Hander rounding third and heading for home.
Come on, Joey, be great to get the lead here.
That was a foot away from a HR

And Joey strikes out. So the triple goes for naught.
Votto strikes out looking. 1-1 mid 3rd
I wish Joey would attack a bit more
This is getting ridiculous. The home plate umpiring in the last two games has been biased as hell.
This is the ol Left Hander rounding third and heading for home.

Stacey Dash Speaks Out Against Beyoncé & Jay-Z's Cuba Trip + Was The Trip Legal?
Twitter is pretty famous for giving us regular people a more detailed look into the mind of celebrities. Not every celebrity bares themselves and shares their souls on the internet, but the ones that do can be a bit surprising. Take Stacey Dash for instance. After she tweeted her support for presidential candidate Mitt Romney it was kind of hard for me to take her serious, ever again. Now she's spoken out on Twitter again, this time about Beyoncé and Jay-Z wedding anniversary trip to Cuba. Check out the tweet below:
Uh. If they haven't started already, I'm sure that Beyoncé's BeyHive fans are dicing up her mentions like a Ginsu knife. Pretty much anyone that says anything again Bey catches their wrath, for that matter. But earlier today the US Treasury Department DID make a determination today on whether their trip to Cuba was legal. Click HERE if you'd like the answer…

Hi there folks.As i've read the new article about EQN lore, thoughts come to mind and wanted to share my feelings and ideas about gaming lore in one thread.I will share it here aswell as general discussion forums.
All the ideas and thoughts are a reaction to understanding of lore in EQN therefore to general understanding of general gaming lore concept.
This would be a long read so be wary.
Whilst i was reading on Everquest Next's lore and seeing an "age pattern" (a map of eras in Eq Lore)and some stories with it, i couldn't help myself but think about general understanding and evolution of so called "lore" and what it brings, how it should be (imo) and what it rips from growing playerbase in terms of imagination and taste and most importantly how we can change it.
Myself, as an example, always been fond of games like Planescape Torment, Baldur's Gate and that kind of brilliancy where story mattered.It was like a book that you played with choices, like our childrenhood books which told us "go to page x if your answer is y".Those games have been finished multiple times and the hunger began for others out there if any.Some satisfaction i've got from couple adventure games like Longest Journey or Monkey Island, which you've been brought to the end not knowing how many hours spent while playing the "Story".
Those days, story mattered for me man.I was maybe 12 or 13? but they mattered.Then i knew i liked video games but never asked myself why.Story was the answer.So called "Lore".
Then, as we all know, technology and sociocultural functions(in terms of gaming playerbase and evolution) entered to our lives as we grew up and as we grow up more and more action and skill based games entered to our lives.As time gone by, we always sought for a better sanctuary to create our imaginary embraced characters and told us "Im this one now".At the end we all forgot about the story (again imo) and driven by the magical aesthetics and hunger for graphic beauty, we all compelled and obeyed for several gaming milestones which lacked lore or story with it.
By "lacking" , dont get me wrong, i dont mean like lacking a story or dialogues or vivid npc presence.
I mean the lack of feeling "special".
Taking World of Warcraft for an example here, i must say that , the game itself a lorebook for a decade now.It all started with Warcraft RTS and followed by the beautiful Warcraft 3 game and evolved into World of Warcraft.Many many books have been published now and i never wanted to open and read one as i was playing itself because i never wanted it.I never wanted it because as a matter of fact i wanted to be special in the game i was playing.And not any lore made me special as my understanding of lore got corrupt, twisted and turned into an industrial hunger.Never wanted any story.Never needed it.Just wanted to be "perfect" and "special".Just wanted moar gear and moar graphics.Back then, never knew my perception to story or lore to a video game was breaking down.
Altough this was after Ultima Online.
2- Importance of Ultima Online in terms of Gaming Lore.
Some of us been there, some of us were not.Ultima Online was one of its kind and it was a groundbreaking gaming experience in many many terms.It was (for me) the gaming should've been right now and gaming NEVER evolved that way again.But my friends as i look back and think UO i notice a very very small detail aswell as very fatal one.
The permanence of items dropped.You drop an item and its permanent, I lock my things in a drawer and it stays there.
Now lets talk about the dynamic chains between lore and permanent items.
Ultima Online has a lore that you can call "bullcrap" and its true.But as the items lived in that world, i always got the sense i have an impact on the world and i suddenly thought about childish possibilities of discovery might be possible.The world grew and grew in front of my eyes and i started to search for some clues or other stuff players dropped in some chests or whatsoever.At that moment, while traveling the barren streets of Britannia, i found some note in a cabinet that someone wrote and dropped.It was a short story about a thief got caught and his daughter might be anywhere in Britannia and how he misses her.
Now this was altough a bullcrap, sloppy-done short story, i felt the world...was alive.I felt the world was people's to take and i felt "special" as i read that note.I wanted more of that stuff.I wanted to read other people's lore and how they live and what they were doing, i wondered if anyone can make a game and hide a treasure somewhere, a rich one perhaps, i wondered the possibilites and then again first and last time in an MMO i felt the story.An actual "Living world" that today's devs try to create as their asses been torn apart as they yell "Living world", "Breathing, Living world".Just with a small trick UO made it like no other gaming experience have made it.Even single player games.
3- The Lore Meta and the way it should be evolved
The story or the lore is boring as hell and no one looks or reads if not a small percent.I respect that small percent but as an author and musician i can never understand what that respectful small percent sees in those simple, untalentedly wrote lore.The Lore has been repeating itself for quite some time now as they mention "Dragons", a small and predictible race be it "Gnomes" be it "Asura" etc.A predictible, simplistic and cheap storyline, an Era map that've been repeated for thousand times and the word "HERO".Theres always been a hero, there will always be a hero and there will not be one of that hero, there will be 7k hero's who pay 10x dollars permonth...
This is bad and wrong.The Lore must be treated as a dynamic of game.Not as a background music or npc quest story.If you want an impact, bring the impact by allowing people to create thier lore and change the gaming features by adding diffrent options to that created lore.Like said above, permanent items.Evolve this and you will have a magical breathing world where everyone can ACTUALLY feel special.
As time passes by and as we play our games (by WE i mean obeying consumerist braindead gamers who cannot or would not say anything but keep playing the crappy game that we've served for tens of dollars, keep believing the lies we've told and repetitively believing again to the same lies, lies like "Living world", lies like "Lore" lies like "GUILDfull NEXTgen WARbased LIVINGgames" ) gaming evolves but it evolves in the wrong way, the way people evolves today, stupid and rich ones win, intelligent and poor ones lose.
P.S In my paranthesis' i did not want to offend any of us but gave my words an humorous value.Please forgive me
And hey, thanks for the read = )

I grew up playing all of the old board games, and was lucky enough to see the rise of the dice and paper games... the Role Playing Game - long before anyone sat at a computer terminal and thought to write "You are standing in a field west of a white house"
When D&D began to get popular I was just a kid, and it was strictly forbidden. Haha. All that did was pique my interest more. There were only 3 or 4 of my kind in the old neighborhood who played and we were quite sorry at it. What we excelled at however was imagination... and that is the root of any role playing game.
I'd sit for hours drawing the monsters found in my trusty Monster Manual and creating characters from rolls of the dice. We did not play the games so much as get into the lore, and we got into the lore deep. I began to read everything I could on the new sword-n-sorcery world. I was drawn into those old fantasy worlds with the intensity of the sun and it still burns in my mind some 40 years later.
Sadly, gaming over the years has moved away from this... lore is pushed back and we are left to play with the remnants of what once was. That is what I've been trying to get these gamers of last few generations to see... if they would only open their eyes, the lore and imagination thereof is far greater than any game mechanic or graphical representation of it.
So my excitement for EQN is genuine - not for the look, feel or play style but for the chance to be in a living and breathing fantasy world... one that I get to help create.

Thanks my friend.I hope some day devs will know this and believe me this theory is quite simple to do.I believe that games can still evolve this way in diffrent manners.Take f2p model for example they can make quite good of money out of this and this is a really simple and bountiful concept to imply.
I have really high hopes of EQN regarding the facts that i've been reading for days now.But then again lore shouldnt be there as a thing to read but to tinker with.As a dynamic of gameplay where you can play it in a manner of way.

I just want a practical and reliable commuter that my wife won't be intimidated by. The Guzzi fit the bill. I dragged my wife over to see it and she sat on it and got to grinning. Sat the kids on it and took photos. It feels like I'm riding a bicycle on the freeway! Handles ok, but fun anyway. great mileage and low maintenance! Build quality next to the scrambler is no contest.
Gonna pick it up tomorrow. V7 Classic in black.
Well done! The new V7 is improved, but it's still fundamentally the same bike. The additional power of the new engine probably won't matter to most people, given how this bike is meant to be ridden. For all practical purposes, the Classic is just as enjoyable and useful. The lighter wheels of the new model is something I might add to my Classic at some point. Test riding the Stone, I definitely noticed it turning in more easily. Again, not a big deal, the Classic is agile enough.

Vortec Bow-Tie Brief
There are two versions of the new GM Performance Parts Vortec Bow-Tie cylinder heads: This one, PN 25534371 (bare) and PN 25534431 (complete), with the larger ports, and another with smaller ports, PN 25534351 (bare) and PN 25534421 (complete) with 185 and 65cc volume, otherwise, the architecture and improvements over the L31 design are the same. We will test the smaller version very soon in a dynamometer exercise. We were able to get an exclusive look at the big-port heads just as they were used in a NASCAR-type application.
Out of the box, they feature revised intake and exhaust ports and are machined for a 2-inch intake and 1.55-inch exhaust valves. The deck surface is 0.045-inch thicker than the L31s, and it has 65cc combustion chambers, a 206cc intake, and 77cc exhaust ports (see Flow Chart). The head is also machined for 3/8-inch screw-in rocker studs and a large valvespring pocket, and it will accept up to a 0.530-inch lift camshaft without modification. These castings are identified by the Bow-Tie logo below the exhaust port and the Vortec logo on top of the intake port area. The GM logo is also cast into the bottom of the intake port runners.
All concerned will be delighted to hear that the head includes intake manifold mounting holes for both early-model six-bolt and late-model four-bolt Vortec design. Mandated GM intake manifolds include a raised runner-type PN 10051103 (six-bolt type) or Vortec design PNs 12366573, 12496820, 12496821, 12496822, and 12499371 (four-bolt type). Though production cylinder head and intake manifold gaskets are acceptable, the hot squeal is Fel-Pro (PN 1142 for the MLS and PN 1289 for the intake). As per Scoggin-Dickey, pricing is: small port 4421 complete, $499.95; small port 4351 bare, $269.25; large port 4431 complete, $539.95; and large port 4371 bare, $293.25.
Put Yur Coat On!
Harold Elliott knows better than most that the reciprocating parts must have an edge--a very slick edge--to compliment the engine builder's expertise and make his product a winner instead of an also-ran. He treated all the key elements of Harold Grady's bullet with a variety of friction-frying stuff. In a very brief explanation, this is how it goes:
Elliott coats the crankshaft counterweights with Teflon-loaded SL-11 in order so that the weights break the surface tension of the crank material so the oil won't stick to it and attempt to build up on the surface. The same goes for the connecting rods. He also uses SL-11 on the windage trays and the scrapers inside the Stef's dry-sump pan.
What he applies to the piston skirts, rod, and main bearings is called HM-30, which has is composed of a high percentage of molybdenum and makes the surface area much more durable in high-pressure areas. This allows the engine builder to tighten up his clearances as in the piston-to-wall area that will keep the piston straighter in the bore and aid ring sealing. Less clearance on the rods and mains means less oil leakage that will not collect in those areas, thereby not taxing the oil recovery system as much.
The HS-44 coating used on the tops of the pistons has a ceramic base, and therefore has very good heat-reflective properties. Keeping combustion heat away from the piston under the rings greatly improves the life of the piston and allows the builder to tighten the piston-to-wall clearance even more. Elliot does not stop there. Since the chambers, exhaust ports, and piston domes act as heat sinks during the combustion cycle and pull valuable power-producing heat from the area, he applies HS-44 to these surfaces as well. This coating is also applied to the tubular exhaust system in the interest of reducing under-hood heat and in presenting a very slick appearance.
"Invisible" Power
Strict rules tend to initiate creativity and engender the NASCAR racers' credo of "being competitive." In this case, we're not talking about bending the rules or exploiting their interpretation, but simply using the most effective (and legal) means to reduce power-robbing friction, increase parts longevity, and enhance power output. In no particular order, the arsenal includes the gas ports that are drilled beneath the top ring land to ensure the best and most effective cylinder wall seal. This venerable helper is worth about 20 hp. The right rings, gas ports, and cylinder wall prep can release as much as 40 hp. Coatings and treatments for piston tops, skirts and pins, bearing surfaces, and crankshaft counterweights yield another 25 hp. The smooth counterweights are good for 5 to 6 hp, the small main journals 6 to 10, and the small rod journals 4 to 6 hp. Hank figures that the HTC Dyna/Rev special center counterweights are worth 4 to 6 more hp.

Jason Segel talks 'The Five-Year Engagement' weight loss on Letterman
While doing promotion for his second of three big movie releases in 2012, Jason Segel stopped by "The Late Show with David Letterman" April 23 to talk all things "Five-Year Engagement."
Of his new movie, Segel tells Letterman that the studio president forced him to lose "a good 35 pounds" for the movie. "I was told that it had to be conceivable that Emily Blunt would ever choose me to be her husband, which is a fair [statement]," he jokes.
So, how did he do it? "I didn't enjoy it, but they sent a trainer to set and I had to work out twice a day, and then he would watch me all day and monitor my eating."
But Segel got around the diet by sneaking in extra food during scenes, since he plays a chef in the film. "I paid my costars a nominal amount of money to forget their lines," he says, so they'd have to do more eating takes.
The film was a great experience for the actor, considering he also co-wrote the film. "I wrote all these love scenes with Emily Blunt and she shows up and she has to do it, because we're paying her money and it's her job!"

First, don't ever bump a thread just to keep it on the front page. Only post if you have something substantive to contribute.
Second, it is a good thing this thread is falling off the front page. You presented some interesting ideas and did a lot of research to justify your position. But ultimately you failed to convince the best DK theorycrafters that your alternative methods are better than the established position.
I'm not convinced that gaming procs to force more crits for your most powerful attack is enough of a gain to compensate for breaking the DK resource feedback loop. Spend runes to gain runic power, spend runic power to gain runes. The faster you spend resources, the more you have to spend. Waiting is counter to the design of the class. There is some precedent with sitting on a death rune to have it available for soul reaper. But we don't like that either.
Even though I don't like this thread I haven't closed it down, and I will continue to leave it open. I'm suspicious of the conclusions, but I respect the discussions and the earnest desire to find the truth -- even if it's unexpected or unpleasant. However the one thing that I'd really like to see, and that you haven't provided, is a simulation profile so we can see a quantitative comparison. If you can give that, I'd love to see it. I'd be happy to be proven right, but I'd be just as happy to be proven wrong. But otherwise please just let this thread rest in peace.
TLDR: Don't bump threads.

Shelby Miller has baffled numerous opponents this year, but none more so than the Milwaukee Brewers.He'll aim for his third straight win over Milwaukee on Monday night as the St. Louis Cardinals continue their NL Central road trip.The Cardinals (71-52), one game back of Pittsburgh for first place, have had their way with the Brewers this year, winning all four meetings in Milwaukee and eight of 10 overall. Miller (11-8, 2.97 ERA) dominated them twice, striking out eight over seven innings of a 2-0 home win on April 12, then limiting them to one run over six innings in a 6-1 road victory on May 3.Miller's 0.69 ERA versus Milwaukee is his lowest against any opponent the rookie has faced more than once this season. Jean Segura, Carlos Gomez and Jonathan Lucroy are a combined 1 for 16 with seven strikeouts, though Gomez hasn't played since Thursday due to a sprained right knee and is considered day-to-day.Miller, however, has been mediocre of late, allowing 11 runs in his last 16 23 inn...

Mikoto Misaka
this wiki
Mikoto Misaka is the main protagonist from Toaru Kagaku no Railgun & one of the main characters from Toaru Majutsu no Index. She is from Tokiwadai Academy and is one of Academy City's Level 5 espers, ranked number three. She is nicknamed Railgun because of her ability to control electricity.
She is voiced by Rina Satou in the Japanese version of the anime and Brittney Karbowski in the English version, the latter of whom also voices Wendy Marvell.
Info on Mikoto Misaka
Mikoto has light brown hair with a hair-clip on the right side of her hair and her eyes are the same color as her hair. She is also shown to be insecure about her body, feeling inferior when compared to girls with bigger bust sizes.
To most people, she is considered a 'proper lady' (ojou-sama or お嬢様), but in reality, she's short-tempered, prideful, and has an improper attitude with some slight tomboyish tendencies and insecurities- a fact few people know of. Despite this, she is generally friendly and easygoing, and Ruiko Saten and Kazari Uiharu comment on how they are shocked to find that compared to other Level 5's, she doesn't look down on lower-level espers at all. Often times she shows a childish, competitive side and even slight tsundere tendencies along with confused affections when taunted by her rival, Touma. She has a keen sense of justice, demonstrated by her frequent involvement in the crime-fighting body, Judgment, and her resolve is unshakable as shown when she was willing to lose in a fight against the force wrong and save her remaining 9968 sisters (Tree Diagram predicted that she would die in the 128th move). She secretly likes cute things, especially Gekota (a popular frog mascot), and is easily embarrassed. She often goes to Green Mart to read manga for free in her spare time. She's also good at playing the violin and she teaches Uiharu how to play in the Volume 12 of the Light Novel.
Though she doesn't admit it, her mother pointed out that Mikoto is bad with House work.
Mikoto has been depicted as been quite smart as she was stated to be the 8th ranked student in Tokiwadai, a school that is meant to create world leading talents and thus deals with a very advanced curriculum. Furthermore she as been shown to easily solve problems meant for Kamijou Touma who courses a school grade higher than her, though it should be noted that Kamijou's school doesn't pursue the same Academic excellence that Tokiwadai does. Mikoto is being hit on by delinquents, when Kamijou Touma tries to save the delinquents from her (as he knows who she is and what she can do). This eventually causes her to confront Touma — even unleashing her most powerful attacks at him. Mikoto eventually caused a massive blackout throughout Academy City because of this.
Mikoto is in despair and thinks that it's all her fault for the deaths of over 10,000 Misaka clones, which were used for a project to help Accelerator achieve Level 6.
One night when she quietly calls for help Touma arrives with the Sisters project document that he found in her room, demanding to know what the hell she is doing. Mikoto reveals that she has been taking out research facilities in an attempt to stop the experiment and save her sisters, but she failed at her task, because new facilities kept coming out. She is also unable to kill Accelerator and she states that she is going to be quickly killed by him in order to save the remaining Sisters. Touma stands on Mikoto's way to prevent her from killing herself, bur refuses to fight her. However, Mikoto keeps attacking him till he passes out. When she finally clears her mind she tells Touma the location of the next fight scheduled for Accelerator, while she waits on the bridge for him to return. But after a few minutes she rushes over to the battle place trying to save Touma even though she knows she can't win. [1]Mikoto prepares to fire her Railgun at Accelerator.When she arrives Mikoto prepares to fire her Railgun, but she pauses when she realizes that Accelerator is creating plasma attack by controlling the direction of the wind and collecting it in one place. She figures out that she can counter it by controlling the wind. With the desire to protect Touma, she wakes up Misaka 10032, that Accelerator knocked out earlier, and she gets the remaining clones across the city to change the direction of the wind by controlling the wind turbines. This prevents Accelerator from finishing forming his attack, and when he approaches Mikoto and Misaka 10032 in order to kill them Touma stops him and gives him his "weakest attack". [2]Misaka visits Touma at the hospital After everything is over Misaka is seen at the hospital visiting Touma to thank him.
Mikoto's power is known as the Railgun. She chose the ability name herself, naming it after her famous finishing move. Her ability belongs to a type of power users called Electromaster: those who can generate and manipulate electricity. Mikoto is the most powerful Electromaster in Academy City. Her maximum output is known to be 1 billion volts.
- Railgun: Mikoto can fire metal objects at three times the speed of sound using her electricity. Her railgun has a muzzle velocity of 1030 m/s (2307.2 mph), and can be fired at a rate of 8 shots per minute. She primarily uses arcade coins as her projectiles for portability, limiting her normal range to 50 meters.
- Lightning Attack Spear: Mikoto has the ability to generate a "spear of lightning" originating from her forehead.
- Powerful Electromagnetic Pulse: Mikoto has the ability to create magnetic pulses that target the organs
- Lightning Strike: Mikoto can call down real lightning using her ability regardless of season. This attack was shown powerful enough to cause an city-wide blackout.
- Electromagnetism: Mikoto can use electromagnetism to attract and repel metallic materials and use it to her advantage. Examples include creating a make-shift shield out of scrap metal, walking on walls and ceilings, as well as attracting iron particles in the ground around her.
- Whip Sword or Iron Sand Sword: Using her magnetic powers, Mikoto can form a "whip sword" by gathering iron sand, manipulating it into a sword that she can lengthen into a whip at will. By making the sand particles of the blade vibrate, she can dramatically increase the weapon's cutting power into something resembling that of a chainsaw.
- Cracking/Hacking: Using her electric powers she can hack any electronic device and bypass normal electronic security measures with ease. She can decode the electronic flow of information, like steal the information from a credit card's magnetic strip, as well as directly process a computer's information in binary. This skill also enables her to perform acts such as erasing herself from security footage in real time or taking control of Academy City's roving security robots.
- Unique Sensory Perception of Electric-type Espers: As an electromaster, Mikoto is of course able to sense electric, magnetic, and electromagnetic phenomena. She is, however, able to follow the electric and magnetic field lines using her eyes, something that normal electromasters are unable to do with their limited power. She takes this ability one step further by analyzing the reflections of the electromagnetic waves she generates, giving her no blind spots.
- Flight: Using formulas similar to those she uses for her Iron Sand sword, Mikoto can fly if she is surrounded by a large amount of atomised water vapor. She manipulated the water vapor it into wings using the static electricity from interactions between particles. By using her electric power to induce electrolysis on a large body of water such as the ocean, she can obtain enough hydrogen and oxygen to use as fuel.
- Defense Against Telepathic Manipulation: Mikoto has been shown to be to immune the effects of telepathic manipulation due to the electromagnetic barrier created by her AIM dispersion field.
Video Games
- Mikoto Misaka appears in a PSP game of Toaru Majutsu No Index fighting game.
- Mikoto Misaka appears in Toaru Kagaku No Railgun & Cross Venus as a playable character.
- Mikoto is also about to appear in the upcoming crossover, Dengeki Bunko Fighting Climax.
- According to the interview on Kazuma Kamachi featured in "Toaru Majutsu no Index no Subete", the author states Mikoto is the one whom he want to choose as his friend among all Index characters.
- She is the winner of 2011 ISML Bishoujo tournament
- Out of all of the girls to have feelings for Touma, she is the only one yet to call Touma by his name (outside of the PSP video game and possibly in Volume 22 when she "cries" out to him).

Robots which help elderly and handicapped people will be in widespread use in the homes of industrialised nations in the next century, a Japanese robotics expert has predicted. Such 'welfare robots' will be required to assist elderly people to live in comfort and to take part in a society characterised by increased longevity and an inability to provide institutional care except for the most needy.
Ichiro Kato, a professor of robotics at Waseda University in Japan, made these claims in his keynote speech at the Fifth International Conference on Advanced Robotics held at the end of last month in Pisa, Italy.
Welfare robots will, he said, have the general shape and dimension of a human body. They will move about the house quietly and gently, be easy and safe to use, and be capable of performing many functions.
Today's industrial robots use so-called 'mechatronic' technology, a combination of mechanical and ...

Really pleased that Treasury has seen sense on this issue and made the application to Brussels: we are the only region in England to qualify. This could make all the difference to motorists shopping locally or travelling down to Hexham or Newcastle, where prices can be more than 14p per litre cheaper. Although the bid covers a wide geographical area, only two local garages will benefit from the deal, if it wins approval: the garages it will help are Bellingham's Garage Services, and the Kielder Petrol Station.

The Promise
By David Remnick
A few weeks before his Inauguration, Barack Obama called the Reverend Joseph Lowery, Martin Luther King, Jr.,'s ally in the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, who was now eighty-seven years old. Obama left a message and asked him to call on his cell phone. Lowery had introduced Obama at the pulpit of Brown Chapel A.M.E. Church, in Selma, Alabama, at a commemoration of Bloody Sunday, the 1965 march during which policemen clubbed and gassed hundreds of protesters. He had campaigned with Obama in Iowa and Georgia. Unlike some leaders of the civil-rights generation, Lowery had set aside his relationship with the Clintons and had been with Obama from the start. Returning Obama's call, he said, "I am looking for the fellow who is going to be the forty-fourth President."

The Bureau of Elections has rejected the request filed by the Citizens Protecting Michigan's Constitution (CPMC) to stop processing the Protect Our Jobs petitions.
Highland Park is the second Michigan school district taken over by Emergency Manager intent on turning it into a charter school district. It joins Muskegon Heights in a dangerous precedent-setting move of selling off its staff, students, and buildings to the lowest bidder.
On May 18, the state Department of Education (MDE) finalized the implementation of new laws relating to teacher certification. The new laws impact teachers moving from a Provisional teaching certificate to a Professional Education teaching certificate and to those teachers renewing their Professional Education certificate. Both changes are effective Sept. 1, 2013.
The Michigan Court of Appeals has decided the repeal of PA 4—the Emergency Manager law—will be on the Nov. ballot—at least for now. The Court decided against convening a special seven-member panel to determine whether the referendum should be approved.
In its original decision, the Court ruled that Stand Up for Democracy, organizers of the petition drive, didn't use the correct type size, but they were restricted by another court decision that said the type size had "to be close enough."
The battle isn't over. The decision could be appealed to the state Supreme Court.
It took more than 130 boxes to hold the signed petitions turned in today to the Secretary of State, moving the constitutional amendment protecting collective bargaining one step closer to being on the Nov. ballot. The Protect Our Jobs coalition turned in 684,286 signatures -- more than twice the needed 322,609 valid signatures in advance of the July 9 deadline.
Michigan is not among the latest list of eight states that have been granted ESEA waivers from the U.S. Department of Education. So far, 19 states have received waivers: Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Rhode Island and Tennessee.
A major sticking point in SB 1072—eliminating the Personal Property Tax (PPT)—has been no plan for replacing the lost revenue for local governments and school districts. Last week the Senate approved Republican amendments that would remedy the situation—at least in part.
While reforming the personal property tax (SB 1065-1072) is taking a back seat to budget debates, the Senate Tax Policy Committee continues to take testimony.
This week, the Senate Finance Committee began hearing testimony on SB 1065-1072, a package of bills that would eliminate the personal property tax (PPT) on industrial equipment collected by local governments.
And more than a thousand students, parents, school employees and community members came out in full force to pledge their commitment to Muskegon Heights schools at Tiger Pride Day on March 31. The tiger is the school mascot—a fitting symbol for the fighting spirit evident that day.
