Dart 450ci Small-Block - Quest for TorqueWritten on November 10, 2003 A Dart 450ci Small-Block for Monster Twist
Here's the big difference between this and a typical magazine motor: We ignored horsepower and went straight for big torque and total driveability. And to make it interesting, we did it with a small-block--a 450ci small-block--on 87 octane. How does 500 lb-ft at 2,000 rpm sound? That's just where it gets started. This idea first hit us about 10 years ago when GM introduced the Rocket Block, an Olds-branded casting designed specifically for big-inch, small-block drag race applications with a raised camshaft location and 0.800-inch-wider-than-stock pan rails, both designed to clear long-stroke crankshafts. The Rocket was also available with a deck height of 9.325 inches, 0.300 taller than the blueprint spec of a stock Chevy block. At the time, those features demanded a bunch of fabricated parts that made the engine impractical for a backyard wrench to assemble or afford. Then GM discontinued the Rocket. Today, Dart offers the Iron Eagle small-block casting with all the features of the Rocket block, and several aftermarket companies have the parts needed to easily slam together a big-inch small-block. So we did. Watch this.
Four Ways to Use This Engine
* Sleeper: Dumb-down the look by grinding the Dart logo off the block, adding some stock valve covers, and fogging everything basic orange or GM Blue. A near-stock idle makes it believable as a smog 350.
* Late-Model F-Car: Whether you've got a third-gen or an LT1-powered fourth-gen Camaro or Firebird, you may want huge power without the lumpy idle of a stout 383 and sans the extensive swap hassles of a big-block. Our 450ci small-block could hide under a TPI intake, pose as a 305, and run like a Rat.
* Street Rod: Small-blocks fit easier in everything from '32s to fat-fenders, and will cool and handle better, too.
* Jeep: Not the world of most readers, we know--but small-blocks are the single most common swap, and any Jeep can use axle-twisting torque.
Low-Deck vs. Tall-Deck 454 Mice
The inevitable question: How does our Dart 450 differ from the 454ci small-block crate engine we tested in the July and Sept. '03 issues? That World Products engine made more horsepower than our Dart-based engine, but that's due to more compression, cam, intake, and carb. Given those variables, either brand of engine can make the same power. What's more significant are the structural issues that might affect your specific needs.
The World 454 uses a block with a standard deck height and a standard cam location. Almost all the parts are standard Chevy stuff, you don't need a remote oil filter, and there are no header-to-chassis-fitment problems that may arise with the Dart Iron Eagle's 0.300-inch-taller block height.
The World engine has a huge bore of 4.250-inch with a stroke of 4.000. Conversely, our Dart-based combo uses a smaller 4.165-inch bore with a longer 4.125-inch stroke. Since both blocks have stock Chevy bore centers of 4.400-inch, the big-bore World 454 only has 0.150-inch of iron between each cylinder. That's narrow enough to require special head gaskets that are not recommended for high-compression, nitrous, or supercharged applications. The smaller-bore Dart block has 0.235-inch between the cylinders, use standard head gaskets, and can be O-ringed if you really want to step on it.
If you choose to build your own low-deck 454 small-block with a 4.250-inch bore, you'll need custom pistons (it's tough to find shelf slugs bigger than 4.185-inch). Also, 4.250-inch is probably the limit of the block's capacity for overbore. By using the raised-cam block to accommodate a longer stroke, you can get the big displacement using a smaller bore so there's more meat left for future rebuilds and so that you can use shelf pistons.
There's also the issue of cam-to-connecting-rod clearance. With the non-raised-cam block, a 4.000-inch stroke is the absolute maximum you're gonna squeeze in there. A stroke that big in a standard block requires connecting rods that are compact at the big end plus a small-base-circle cam to avoid cam-to-conrod interference. Roller cams with radical ramp rates are even more difficult to fit. Obviously this is not an issue if you buy the crate engine, but you need to know this if you're building from scratch or plan to swap cams later. However, our raised-cam Dart block had no cam-to-con-rod concerns with the 4.125-inch stroke, steel Lunati rods, and either of the Comp roller cams we ran in this story. Dougan's also tested a Comp solid roller with 0.700 lift and 256/260-at-0.050 on a 108 LDA, and it fit easily. By using custom cam profiles and carefully profiled rods, we've seen guys fit as much as a 4.250-inch stroke in raised-cam blocks.
Build It Badder
The bummer about a large-displacement small-block is that even the best 23-degree (standard small-block Chevy style) cylinder heads may not be able to flow enough air for a high-horsepower naturally aspirated combo. A 13.0:1-compression 454 big-block can easily top 750 hp with average rectangle-port heads; that'd be a push with conventional heads on a 454 small-block. However, Dart offers both 16- and 18-degree Race Series heads and the exceptionally trick Little Chief 11-degree heads with canted valves and asymmetrical intake ports. They flow over 400 cfm at 0.900 lift. Then you'd have a serious mini big-block.
Even more good news: With all those cubic inches underneath standard small-block heads, it's easy to make huge compression with flattop pistons. For example, the engine in this story would have 12.3:1 with flattop pistons instead of the 36cc dishes. Use Dart Little Chief heads with 37cc chambers and you'd hit 15.0:1 using pistons with 18cc of valve reliefs for the sensibly huge cam you'd obviously choose. Wicked!
The Naturally Aspirated Dyno Test
Keeping in mind that we wanted an absolutely smooth idle, huge torque, and zero-hassle driveability, we started out with a miniature hydraulic roller cam. And since we had trouble living with ourselves for choosing the tiny stick, we also tried a big one. Here's how it went.
Comp Cams XE270HR: This one's got 218/224 degrees of duration at 0.050 tappet lift, a 110-degree lobe separation, and lift of 0.528/0.535-inch. That's pretty tiny, proof of which was the no-load idle of 600-700 rpm with no lope whatsoever and a vacuum reading of 16-17 inches. That'll run any power-brake system, run smoothly with an EFI setup, and will sound like a stock 350 to anyone you want to fool. With the 9.3:1 compression and aluminum heads it'll never ping on 87 octane, though we did crank the timing to a total advance of 38 degrees. That's a bit high, indicative of the reduced efficiency of the low compression. This would be a safe 91-octane engine with another point of compression, and would make roughly 4 percent more power at 10.25:1.
Power? The mild XE270HR delivered a peak of 480 hp from 4,900 through 5,400 rpm and a torque peak of 571 lb-ft at 3,700 rpm. More significantly, the small-block never made less than 500 lb-ft from a very low 2,000 rpm clear through 5,000 rpm. That means 500 lb-ft right at the stall speed of a very mild torque converter, and easy 11-second times in a heavy car with freeway gears. And this engine could take a massive shot of nitrous without hurting itself. Think about it.
Comp Cams XE294HR: Since we're bottom-of-the-page cam guys, we also had to try a roller grind with 242/248 degrees at 0.050, a 110 LDA, and 0.571/0.599 lift with 1.6:1 rockers. A bit big for 9.3:1 compression, but it idled at 800-900 rpm with 12 inches of vacuum--still daily driveable, in our opinion.
The effect on the power curves is the textbook-perfect example of what you'd expect from installing a bigger cam. Look at the graph and you can see that the shapes of the curves for the XE270 cam (dotted lines) and the XE294 cam (solid lines) are very similar, but they pivot away from each other at the point defined by 3,750 rpm. Predictably, the small cam makes more horsepower and torque below 3,750, and the bigger cam makes more power after that point. The longer duration of the bigger cam moves up the rpm at peak torque by a few hundred rpm. Since horsepower is a function of torque and rpm, and since the distance between the torque and the power peaks is about 1,500-1,800 rpm, the engine will make more torque at higher rpm and therefore make more peak horsepower. Specifically, the larger Comp XE294 made 582 lb-ft at 4,100 rpm and 536 hp at 5,700. Interestingly, the actual peak torque value only changed a little bit, but the horsepower jumped by 56 points. On the downside, the big cam gives up as much as 40 lb-ft at points below 3,000 rpm.
Iron Eagle Special Parts
If you're considering the price of an engine built with a stock engine block and a China-made crank and rods, our 450-inch will be way more expensive. But if you compare the prices of the custom Iron Eagle parts with conventional-style components of the same top quality that we used in this buildup, then going big will run you about an extra $500. Here's the list of all the special parts you'll need for an Iron Eagle block compared to a standard block, plus the part numbers of the specific components we used.
* Spread-rail oil pan (Moroso PN 20193)
* Raised-cam timing set (Comp Hi-Tech PN 3146KT)
* Longer, big-block-style oil-pump driveshaft (ARP 135-7901)
* Big-block-style fuel-pump pushrod (ARP 135-8701)
* Intake manifold spacers (Dart PN 622100002)
* Remote oil filter (Moroso Omni Filter PN 22285)
* Slip-collar-style distributor (MSD PN 85561)
* 2.375-inch, Ford FE-style rear cam plug
* Line-bored 400-Chevy-style rear main seal (Fel-Pro 2909)
Forget 87 Octane, Make 700 LB-FT
You know you're sick when a naturally aspirated 536 hp and 581 lb-ft aren't good enough. We considered the 450's 9.3:1 compression and the stout Dart/Lunati short block and realized that boost had to happen. Since low-rpm torque was the quest, we pushed the centrifugal aside and yanked a big ol' Roots huffer off the shelf.
Sadly, the 420ci Holley MegaBlower that we tested was recently discontinued, but Weiand still offers both 6-71 and 8-71 GMC-type lungs for small Chevys. We feel that either one can match the power of the MegaBlower, which shoved our mega Mouse to 700 lb-ft forever and (oops ... we really didn't mean to) 722 hp at 6,200 before the valves floated. Way flat torque curve! The improvements over naturally aspirated were a ludicrous 120 lb-ft and 190 hp. It probably makes 600 lb-ft right off idle.
The camshaft for this test was the same Comp Cams XE294HR we had installed in naturally aspirated trim. The carbs were two Holley HP, 750-cfm blower carbs (PN 0-80576) that were jetted perfectly right out of the box, and we dialed the timing back to 30 degrees total. On 76 Products 91-octane pump gas, there was no hint of detonation with the blower 9 percent underdriven for 5 pounds of boost at peak torque (4,100 rpm) and almost 7 pounds at peak horsepower (6,200).
Basically, the engine was way happy. It still idled at 800 rpm and 12 inches of vacuum and seemed perfectly driveable with the low-maintenance hydraulic roller cam. This would be a nasty, reliable daily driver that could easily live with a low-stall converter and some highway gears but still tug your kidneys into the trunk at the tickle of a toe. We envision absolute death in the likes of a '32 roadster.

The Iron Eagle has a revised priority-main oiling system, and the galley plugs are different than a stocker's; a Dart Parts hardware kit is included. The Dart block can be ordered with larger-diameter big-block cam bearings to allow for larger-base-circle cams (to make them stiffer for extreme-valvespring race applications), but this one has small-block bearings. However, Dart small-blocks use five cam bearings of the same od, whereas stock Chevy bearings get progressively smaller. The special bearing set is also included with the block, but not the rear cam plug, which is a 2.375-inch Ford FE type.There are no budget-priced, 4.125-inch-stroke small-block cranks, but Lunati's Pro Series PN AU211EN sells for under $1,500. The crank is a 4340 non-twist steel forging with Lunati's Contoured Wing counterweights to direct windage away from the rods. The crank uses 2.65-inch Chevy 400-style main journals instead of the 2.45-inch 350 mains to improve crank-journal overlap with the long stroke. Dougan's was able to internally balance the assembly, but two small slugs of mallory were needed.We also used Lunati 4340 forged-steel Pro Mod rods, PN LAE1. With 6.125-inch-long rods and JE blower pistons (4.165 bore, PN 194888) using a 1.125-inch compression height, the Dart block was milled to a deck height of 9.3125 inches to achieve zero piston deck clearance. The 1/16-, 1/16-, 3/16-inch piston rings are Speed-Pro Hellfire units file-fit to endgaps of 0.020/0.018/.024. All the bearings are also Speed-Pro chamfered race units.The piston position at BDC reveals two things. First, that the long 6.125-inch rods (5.700 is stock 350 Chevy length) are needed to prevent piston-skirt-to-crank-<br>counterweight contact with the long stroke. Second, that the tall deck height of the block is required to accept the combination of stroke and rod length. This combo would stick out the top of a stock Chevy block by about 5/16 inch. Dougan's measured the overall length of a stock Chevy cylinder as 5.750 inches at a 9.025-inch deck height; the Dart cylinders are longer at 5.8925 with a 9.325 deck height.Even with the Iron Eagle casting, a bit of grinding was needed for clearance with the somewhat large big-end of the Lunati rods. However, cam-to-conrod clearance--which is often a problem even with common 383 Chevy strokers--was ample with the raised-cam block.Moroso sells two versions of a 7-quart steel oil pan designed for Iron Eagle blocks in production-chassis vehicles. We used PN 20193 that includes an integral one-way trapdoor, crank-scraper, and windage tray; PN 20192 is the same without the scraper and tray. We also used a Moroso pickup and PN 22100 oil pump. For the harmonic balancer, we chose the largest-diameter neutral-balance TCI Rattler available (PN 870002).With no provision for a spin-on oil filter, the Iron Eagle demands an external unit. We used the Moroso PN 22285 Omni Filter that can be easily disassembled to inspect and clean the filter. Installation required four AN-12x1/2NPT pipe adapters from Earl's and a few feet of -12 AN line.Dart recommended the company's Pro 1 aluminum head castings with 215cc intake runners, 75cc exhaust runners, and 2.05/1.60-inch valves. These flow about 275/180 cfm at 0.600-inch lift and 28 inches of water and are considered serious performance heads for a street/strip 383 or 406. On a 450ci engine they seem tamer: The flow numbers are similar to those of good pocket-ported GM 049 large-oval-port big-block heads, but with a smaller cross section, adding up to the torquey head we were looking for.Dart's Pro 1 215 heads are available with either 64cc or 72cc chambers and straight or angled plugs, and we went with the angle-plug 64cc versions (PN 11511122). Combined with Fel-Pro 1004 head gaskets and the 36cc dished JE pistons, the big small-block has 9.3:1 compression, running easily on 87 octane. Tim Martindale at Dougan's blueprinted the heads and determined that the 1.427-inch-diameter valvesprings included with the Dart assemblies would work with both the cams we wanted to run: Spring heights were 1.760-inch intake, 1.775-inch exhaust, and set up at 150 pounds seat pressure and 370 pounds at 0.600 lift.
The only specialized valvetrain components required for the Iron Eagle block are the raised-cam timing chain (PN 3146KT) available through Comp Cams and the longer pushrods to compensate for the tall deck height. Dougan's normally specifies custom-length pushrods to perfect the rocker geometry, anyway, and we get quick turnaround from Terry Manton at Manton Pushrods. In this case, one pushrod length happened to work with the 1.6:1 Pro Magnum chromoly steel rockers (PN 1306-16) and both of the Comp Cams hydraulic roller cams we tested--see the dyno test sidebar.Dart sells intakes designed for the tall-deck block, but we opted to use Dart's spacers (PN 622100002) so that we could use any standard manifold. They needed significant massaging on the Bridgeport mill at Dougan's to get them to fit properly, and two sets of intake gaskets are needed (Fel-Pro PN 1206, in this case). The gap at the end seals is too big to bridge with RTV alone, so stick together two sets of the adhesive cork end seals and glue them in with RTV. The taller manifold position will also require a distributor with an adjustable slip collar.All our naturally aspirated testing was done with a Dart Kool Can dual-plane, open-valley-style intake (PN 4281100) that was port-matched to the 215 heads. The carb is a Holley HP 950-cfm vacuum secondary (PN 0-80497-1) with the stock 78-square jets, 6.5 power valves in both ends, and a 1-inch four-hole spacer. The only problem with the carb is the lack of a large vacuum port for power brakes.

The cooling fans do not turn on. I have replaced the Fan relays, ECT sensor, as well as checked the fans themself using direct power. The only way I can get the fan to come on is by disconnecting the ECT vavle; they then both turn on and run just fine. I'm thinking either a bad wire going from the ECT switch to the PCM or a bad PCM. Could I just run the wires from the ECT switch to a toggle switch and open and close the circuit and control the fans that way?

Jon Coupal: Six steps toward fiscal recovery
For a decade, California government has spent more than it receives in revenue. The result? Our state has the lowest credit rating of the 50 states, we rank in the top four in unemployment, near the top in tax burden per capita, and we rank last or close to last in a number of surveys that measure business climate. Not coincidentally, California small-business bankruptcies are up 81 percent over last year.
For lawmakers, spending is a compulsion. During the historic recall campaign of 2003, Arnold Schwarzenegger, who correctly labeled the spending problem as an addiction, promised he would be the antidote, which led voters to support his candidacy by a huge margin.
Sadly and, perhaps, predictably, the spending terminator quickly succumbed to a more regional strain of the Beltway fog – some have even likened it to the Stockholm Syndrome, where, after just a few months in office, elected officials become more aligned with the tax receivers than the taxpayers.
With California now facing another roughly $20 billion deficit, it is time to impose on California politicians the equivalent of a 12-step program, pioneered by Alcoholics Anonymous, to curb their addiction, compulsion and behavior problems.
But being longtime taxpayer advocates, let us be a bit more efficient by proposing a slightly simpler six-step program.
•A key element is admitting that one cannot control one's addiction or compulsion, so the answer is a spending limit with teeth. Lawmakers must be limited to spending no more than the state takes in, no ifs, ands or buts.
•A growing percentage of the general fund goes to debt repayment. With more debt being piled on – in the form of general obligation bonds, other debt instruments and pension obligations – the state must begin to do that which it rarely does: prioritize this debt. Tough decisions must be made about what we really need as opposed to what we may want. Proven infrastructure projects, devoid of fluff, might pass the test. Other projects should be delayed, if not terminated outright.
•To further curtail any tendency to relapse into mischief, the amount of time spent lawmaking should be reduced. The California Legislature should be reorganized around the more successful model of Texas, where lawmakers meet no more than 140 days every other year and are paid $7,500 annually.
•To remove from legislators the temptation provided by public employee union enablers – who are responsible for the election of the majority of lawmakers – the state workforce should be slashed by 15 percent. This will reduce not only their political influence, but since California state employees are the highest-paid in the U.S., relieve some of the pressure for extravagant spending.
•To reduce the pressure to spend, spend, spend (especially on public employee salaries and benefits), new rules should be adopted to reduce the corrupting influence of the tax receivers on our political institutions. Allowing government employees to opt out of unions and paycheck-protection laws would go far in leveling the political playing field.
•And, finally, to make amends to those they have harmed, as directed in the 12-step program, taxes should be cut so that the per capita tax burden is reduced to no more than the national average. This would put more money in the pockets of taxpayers and boost the state economy as businesses that provide jobs again look favorably on our state.
At this point, nothing can save the Golden State but radical reforms that preserve liberty, reward innovation in the private sector and lessen the influence of those living off tax dollars. The only question is, whether we have the strength and wisdom to take the first steps to recovery.

More Austen, still love it.
Sense and Sensibility tells the story of the Dashwood family and journey through various trials and tribulations. The story centers on two parallel plots- Marianne Dashwood's passionate love for Willoughby and Elinor Dashwood's quiet love for Edward Ferrars.
Sense and Sensibility, the first novel of Jane Austen's to be published, was written in 1811 and is an excellent example of what is known as a novel of manners. It deals with the behavior and manners of the gentry of Regency England, which had strict codes of conduct and dealt harshly with anyone who broke those codes. Sense and Sensibility shows this through the scandalous behavior of Marianne and Willoughby. Marianne flouts the code in order to live by her passions, while her sister, Elinor, follows the code strictly, never allowing anyone to know the depths of her feelings.
I truly love this novel. The characters are fresh and original, the plot is never contrived, and the resolution to the stories is fulfilling. I especially love the character of Colonel Brandon (although that may be due to Alan Rickman's portrayal).
I'm Elinor. I'm a busybody elitist. In my spare time, I like to play the victim while claiming superiority in all aspects of my personality to others. In fact, near the end of the book, I critique my younger sister - without a trace of self-awareness - for the very qualities that I possess in much more abundance than she has. Anyway, since I can't curtail the youthful fun that she is having with her boyfriend, I will constantly probe my mother to go ask them what's the deal with their relationship even though she is fine with their carrying ons. When I'm eventually proven right about that man's terrible attributes, I will gloat, albeit silently since my sister is highly distressed for strange reasons. My thoughts will involve the man I love who also turned out to be a cad. Even better, I will forever comfort myself with the fact that even though we are now both dumped by men who turned out to be secretly
Seriously, though, I thought Elinor was going to get some sort of lesson on pride at the end, but no, she gets a happy ending while also acting like a bloody snot throughout the entire book. There were other much more admirable women in the book. For one, Charlotte Palmer who makes her own realities, interpreting her husband's disdain as drollness, everyone as her immediate best friends, extremely exuberant and effusive (seemingly genuinely) on everything. Sure, she's painted as as a very silly woman, but I can't help admire her way of viewing the world (like Kenneth from 30 Rock in that episode which leads into a delightful little Muppet musical!). At the very least, she's very happy with her life. Unlike Elinor the party pooper who stands on the side thinking herself superior to the dumb drones having a good time. Even Lucy is a wonderful character, showing a calculating mind behind her supposed meekness. Also, Marianne. She's happy with her little fling. Sure, she's miserable after the reveal. But at least she's FEELING something. Which is more than anyone can say for Elinor the robot, who definitely takes the keep-your-emotions-in-check, stiff-upper-lip thing way too far. But still never learns, and doesn't have to because in the end she gets her man.
I was incredibly frustrated by the character of Elinor, which unfortunately overshadowed the wonderful wit of the Austen social commentary. A better ending would have been if

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0141439661, Paperback)Though not the first novel she wrote, Sense and Sensibility was the first Jane Austen published. Though she initially called it Elinor and Marianne, Austen jettisoned both the title and the epistolary mode in which it was originally written, but kept the essential theme: the necessity of finding a workable middle ground between passion and reason. The story revolves around the Dashwood sisters, Elinor and Marianne. Whereas the former is a sensible, rational creature, her younger sister is wildly romantic--a characteristic that offers Austen plenty of scope for both satire and compassion. Commenting on Edward Ferrars, a potential suitor for Elinor's hand, Marianne admits that while she "loves him tenderly," she finds him disappointing as a possible lover for her sister:
Oh! Mama, how spiritless, how tame was Edward's manner in reading to us last night! I felt for my sister most severely. Yet she bore it with so much composure, she seemed scarcely to notice it. I could hardly keep my seat. To hear those beautiful lines which have frequently almost driven me wild, pronounced with such impenetrable calmness, such dreadful indifference!Soon however, Marianne meets a man who measures up to her ideal: Mr. Willoughby, a new neighbor. So swept away by passion is Marianne that her behavior begins to border on the scandalous. Then Willoughby abandons her; meanwhile, Elinor's growing affection for Edward suffers a check when he admits he is secretly engaged to a childhood sweetheart. How each of the sisters reacts to their romantic misfortunes, and the lessons they draw before coming finally to the requisite happy ending forms the heart of the novel. Though Marianne's disregard for social conventions and willingness to consider the world well-lost for love may appeal to modern readers, it is Elinor whom Austen herself most evidently admired; a truly happy marriage, she shows us, exists only where sense and sensibility meet and mix in proper measure. --Alix Wilber
(retrieved from Amazon Thu, 12 Mar 2015 18:18:02 -0400)
"Marianne Dashwood wears her heart on her sleeve, and when she falls in love with the dashing but unsuitable John Willoughby she ignores her sister Elinor's warning that her behaviour leaves her open to gossip. Meanwhile, Elinor is struggling to conceal her own romantic disappointment."--P. [4] of cover.… (more)

Ladies: Extreme new perils for your (in)fertile self
Remember, there's always adoption.
That's what the woman of the house might want to be telling herself, if she's been taking note of the newspaper's health section this week. It's bad enough that one of the only reasons I ever considered pregnancy – the excuse to smoke excessive quantities of controlled substances, "for my cramps" – has gotten negative press for apparently stunting fetal development and leading to cognitively delayed kids (to which I say: whatever, the pot-babies are just really mellow, alright?). To make matters worse for women of reproductive age, though, another host of new studies are making me suspect that my own ovaries are already shriveled into tiny, infertile raisins.
One study, reported with a large photo of a ticking clock by the always-sophisticated Daily Mail, concluded that a woman's egg supply actually dwindled much faster than science once thought. In fact, the average 30-year-old will have just 12 percent of her eggs left and rarin' to be fertilized. "By her 40th birthday the situation is even more bleak," the Mail warns ominously. By then, only 3 percent of her eggs remain alive and well.
But perhaps the most depressing part of this study is the reaction of the doctor behind it. "There are women waiting for the next promotion, or waiting to meet Mr Right," scoffed researcher Dr. Tom Kelsey, of St Andrews University. "Women often do not realize how seriously ovarian reserve declines after the age of 35. Every year that goes by you are losing a big proportion of your ovarian reserve."
Trust me, Dr. Kelsey. WE KNOW. That's why so many desperate 20-somethings keep signing up for The Bachelor.
Then there's the delicious news out of UC Berkeley, where researchers concluded that standard household cleaning products can slay a woman's fertility by 50 percent. Flame-retardant chemicals, called PBDEs, are found in such things as furniture and drapes. "The good news is these chemicals have or are being phased out," said lead study author Kim Harley. The bad news is that you've probably been exposed to a fair share of, you know, furniture, in your lifetime. In fact, 97 percent of Americans have detectable levels of PBDEs in their bloodstream. With a statistic like that, I'm wondering how any woman, living in a furnished indoor space, has even been impregnated in the last decade.
If you do manage to get knocked up, good luck with the crippling depression. A preliminary study suggests that women who stick with anti-depressants have a risk of delayed lactation that's twice as large as that of women who don't medicate. Ironically, pregnant women are at the highest risk for depression in their third trimester or right after giving birth – exactly when lactation should start kicking in.
"These women need to know that delay doesn't mean it isn't going to happen," points out study author Kathleen Kendall-Tackett. Maybe, but you only have a few months of teat-bonding with your newborn. If you don't breastfeed, your child has a greater risk of illness, asthma and obesity, along with reduced cognitive development. Can you imagine how you'd feel if your own mental health problems led to a sickly, asthmatic adult offspring?
It's all enough to make you want to light up a joint. Oh. Wait.

Microsoft Office 365 Home
Bottom Line: Office 365 gets you the best productivity software available today, including full installations of Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and more, for up to five Windows and Mac desktops. You also get a slew of mobile apps, 1TB of online storage, and real-time collaboration.
StorageCraft ShadowProtect 5 Desktop
Bottom Line: ShadowProtect Desktop, the consumer version of the leading enterprise-level backup software, is the most reliable disk-imaging local backup software available.
Microsoft PowerPoint (for iPad)
Bottom Line: PowerPoint for iPad, with its well-chosen feature set and clear interface, is powerful enough to let you leave your laptop behind when you make presentations on the road.
Microsoft Excel (for iPad)
Bottom Line: Excel is the only spreadsheet program available on all major desktop and mobile platforms, and it's a surprisingly powerful iPad app, especially if you pair it with the iPad Pro.
Microsoft Word (for iPad)
Bottom Line: Word for iPad is the best tablet-based word processor. On the iPad Pro, with Apple's Smart Keyboard, it's the next best thing to full-scale word processing on a laptop. Still, advanced users will chafe at its limitations.
Apple OS X El Capitan
Bottom Line: Despite massive improvements in Windows 10, Apple's OS X El Capitan is still the best consumer-level operating system on the planet, with more speed, convenience, and overall smoothness than ever before.
Microsoft Office 2016 (for Windows)
Bottom Line: Microsoft Office remains the mightiest productivity suite you can get, with strong collaboration features added in the latest version. Users of Office 2013 won't need any retraining, and new features are slotted smoothly in with the old.
Bottom Line: Unique and dynamic, Prezi is freeform presentation software that's terrific for informal and unstructured information. But if you're looking for a slide-based PowerPoint-like alternative, this isn't it.
LibreOffice 5.0
Bottom Line: LibreOffice 5.0 provides much of the power of Microsoft Office, but in an outdated and inconsistent interface. Still, it's free and open source, and those who can't or won't use proprietary software won't find anything better.
Microsoft Office 2016 (for Mac)
Bottom Line: Microsoft Office 2016 for Mac is worth the five-year wait it took to get here. It's still by far the most powerful set of productivity apps for Apple computers, fitting more smoothly into OS X than ever, while adding cloud support. And the free preview version is stable enough for most people to use day to day.
Adobe Acrobat Pro DC
Bottom Line: Acrobat has always towered above all rival PDF software, and the latest version is the best upgrade in years.
Apple Numbers (for Mac)
Bottom Line: Numbers' unique design, with the option to create multiple tables on a single page, is the biggest innovation in spreadsheets in many years, but Microsoft Excel still has an unbeatable lead in sheer power.
Apple Pages (for OS X)
Bottom Line: Pages has the easiest-to-use interface of any advanced word processor, and is all that many Mac and iOS users will ever need. But it doesn't approach Microsoft Word in advanced formatting and automation features.
Apple Keynote (for Mac)
Bottom Line: Keynote is the best-looking and—overall—the most powerful presentations app ever made, with the richest set of export options. Its built-in templates outclass the competition in both elegance and pizzazz.
Paragon Hard Disk Manager 15 Professional
Bottom Line: Anyone who manages Windows computers needs Paragon's hard disk management and repair utility, which has the best-chosen and most-reliable features for managing disks and recovering files.
Parallels Desktop 10 (for Mac)
Bottom Line: Parallels Desktop is the first choice for beginners and non-technical users who want to run Windows apps under OS X.

2004 Mercedes-Benz ML350 Reviews and Owner Comments
Login to Review This Car
2004 Mercedes-Benz ML350 (5 Reviews)
Mercedes dealership unable to diagnosis check engine light (code associated with fuel line). Replaced gas cap after nothing was found on a "smoke test." No defect codes are found. Recently replaced purge valve, but light is back on and dealership advises to replace "charcoal cannister." If that doesn't work and still no defect code, then something with gas tank is their final suggestion. All this with the only symptom being the check engine light (runs fine) and no actual diagnosis.
I don't know what other vehicle you can drive in Texas for 36,000 miles without a water pump, and I don't encourage ANYONE to try it, but I can verify it's been done. About 55 miles each way, twice a day. And before that, I broke the radiator on a beach. 20 or so miles, without damage then and it was about 95 degrees on that day. One last thing...people complain about dealer maintenance, and schedule A's and B's are expensive. But if you add it up, you can go 10k to 12k miles between Mobile 1 0-40 oil changes. So that it costs me 10 oil changes at ~150 per equals about 1500 per 100k miles. If you add up the 40/per for each oil change at 3,000 miles, you pay MORE for that maintenance than you do in a Mercedes?! (Note: this includes A service but not B service; that costs more but they check and replace almost everything.) Again, I don't know a car built six years ago that you can drive for 230k miles without multiple repairs. I'm shooting for 500k miles.
Overall nice car, I like the handling.
When you think Mercedes, you think luxury and reliability (generally speaking). However, I have not had any of this with this car. At 54,000 miles, I have had 3 brake jobs (rotors replaced TWICE!), of course the front rims get dirty within a day or two of driving (design flaw), drivers seat replaced due problem with seat heating (hot spots), motor for rear seat heating and a/c had to be replaced, when changing where I wanted the heat or a/c to come out (vent, defrost or at feet) the dial would not work. I could not change. A broken arm had to be replaced. The smooth ride that I had when I purchased the vehicle has become extremely rough. When I brought it to my dealership (Globe Mercedes in Farifield N.J.) they stated that the ride was normal and that they found nothing wrong. I brought it back to them 2 weeks later telling them that they must be mistaken because I KNOW there is a big difference in the ride. I took a test drive with one of the technicians and he said to me "It does seem pretty rough". However, when I came back the to pick up the vehicle, my service manager( Bill Waggoner) said the ride was normal and that nothing could be done. Both cigarette lighters don't work (have hardly used them at all) and it's not the fuse. Had a small leak in the coolant compartment and now a power steering issue (which is the reason I am on this site).
I really like the steering on this vehicle... makes good turns vs. other SUV's I've driven. Mine now has 80,000 miles on it and just replaced a headlight at an independent garage - only $14 ! I'm sure the Mercedes dealer would have charged far more. Probably need a new water pump very soon... but other than that, I've had no problems at all with this vehicle. I enjoy the smooth ride, too.

I got my Cooper Paisley quilt set yesterday. First the pros: The King quilt is larger at 106x92 compared to other King quilts/comforters at 102x86. A Cal-King mattress is 4 narrower and 4 longer than a King. Since the quilt has scallops on all four sides and the paisley pattern is undirectional, it makes a perfect coverlet for a Cal-King bed when the quilt is turned sideways. Even after washing and drying in the dryer, it hangs down 15 on all three sides. Now the cons: I ordered the chocolate color. When I opened the package it was covered with white lint. I tried to brush it off but found that much of it was attached as though the quilting had been done with a dull needle and bits of the white backing/batting between the layers of chocolate colored fabric had been pushed through with the stitches. Not all of the quilting was that way, but way too much. I washed and dried the set to remove the chemical odor (smell is gone) and hoped it would puff up the quilting and make the white disappear. It did not. I spent 2 hours with duct tape wrapped around my hand patting the quilt trying to remove loose lint which, in the laundry, had attached itself to the quilting thread as pills. There were also quite a few globs of thread where the quilting machine messed up and I had no choice but to cut them off and hope for the best. Probably if I had ordered a white or light colored quilt set, the poor quality quilting would have been less of an issue as it would not have been as noticeable. There is evidently very poor quality control within this manufacturing company as many people who have purchased the identical quilt set have left glowing reviews and I have to believe they received a different quilt than I did. It makes it difficult to purchase from Overstock when quality is a gamble. All it takes is a few poorly made products to negate the savings you got from the good ones. Return shipping is a costly option.
Beautiful and great quality!! Runs a little small- I have a Queen bed and wish I would have gotten a King but my bed sits high off the ground... other than that I could not be more pleased!!!
After reading the reviews and ordering this item, I wasn't dissappointed! The quality far exceeded what I expected for the price. Looks beautiful as a bedspread-fine stitching and a nice neutral ivory color to match everything. Ordered the king size for a queen bed. It's just the right weight to provide that extra warmth on a chilly night. Great value!
This is the third matlesse cover in my house. They are wonderful, easy to take care of, just throw it in the washer and it comes out looking like new. If you have children, guests or pets, it is the perfect product. When they leave a mess or it just needs to be freshened up, just wash it and everyone will think it is always new. Enjoy!
I like to collect and layer matelasse quilts... this one is charming and you cannot beat that price. I ordered white and it is so white and so comfy after laundering... I read reviews and got a king for my queen and it is perfect and beautiful. Thanks Overstock
Very pretty paisley stitching, I purchased ivory and dearly love it...ended up buying another to layer the look on my bed!
This is a beautiful coverlet quilt. However the color "chocolate" that is sold in various locations varies in intensity. This was much darker than the other furnishings in the room and didnt match my other thing (draperies, etc) I regret that I may have to return it.
This set is very nice, the king is almost the same size as a queen sized bedspread( just shorter across the bottom but still covers the mattress and box spring. ) However I can only rate it as fair since the return shipping is not covered should you need to return it. I bought a dust ruffle, which I didn't need due to the size of the comforter which would be great except I lost over 1/2 the cost of the dust ruffle when I sent it back( ruffle was $$ with shipping promo, I got only $ refunded after I returned it due to shipping fees). So I won't be buying from here again even though all the items I bought were first rate. Just costs way to much if you have to return it.
I love this quilt, it has the look I was wanting and it has a good weight, this is a really great quilt! The color is perfect, the quality is great. I am truly satisfied with this purchase.
These quilt sets still look good after several washings. I would order them again.
I couldn't be happier with the look and feel of this quilt set if I had designed it for my needs. Looks great on the bed, pattern and finish are lovely, scallop adds a nice bit of style.
Love this quilt. For the price you get a really quality quilt with a beautiful stitched pattern. The queen was a little small if you want your quilt hanging low over the sides. Thought about switching it to a king size but didn't want to have the king shams. So far it's working great and has been a lovely warm weather bedspread!
This is a beautiful quilt at a very reasonable price. It looks very nice and is a perfect weight. While some quilts are short on the bed, this one fit very well. I would highly recommend it.
Looks exactly like the picture. Great product, great price!
This mattelasse set looks SO pretty on my bed.....I choose white, and it is a VERY white! I made 2 turquoise decorative pillows & it looks SO nice! The quality is VERY good!!!!
I've had and washed this quilt for years, it just gets better. I dont' use the pillow shams. Very good quality that has held up!
be careful if you are buying them to match ... the color lots don't match if you need to buy more than on set of them...
I bought it so my dog can sleep on the bed and it keeps my bedding clean. i bought brown color.
I love this quilt. I read the other reviews before purchasing and would say that I agree with all the positive comments. It washed well, lightweight and soft, and fits our king size bed perfectly.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? Actual
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Good and sturdy
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? Very accurate

Guide By: THE DEADLY DOG, Spanish Assault, Skorpion XBA
There are 35 achievements with a total of 500 points.
Show / Hide Guide Road Map
Quote:"In our modern day New-York, creatures of legend and fantasy have found refuge in their own little community, called Fabletown. Bigby, the Big Bad Wolf from Three Little Pigs and Little Red Riding Hood, is very real, and kicking. Sheriff of Fabletown, he helps solve crimes thanks to his extraordinary Wolverine-like senses, and his cunning and intellect. If you don't already follow Bill Willingham's acclaimed comic-book series, you'll discover a world of intrigue populated by imaginary characters such as Prince Charming, Gepetto or Sleeping Beauty, but faced with very real problems, starting with extinction, and murder."
It feels like you are entwined in the plot of a delicate movie of which you control, but at the same time you are the master of your own ship, and even more so in this new installment of Telltale. If you haven't played TWD before it'll take you a few moments to get used to the controls and the general feel of the game, but after that you'll soar. Be prepared to make actions that WILL effect decisions later on in the chapter/episode. With the use of the RoadMap and the Achievement Guide you should be able to carefully plan out your course of action, deciding if you truly want to be a BIG BAD WOLF, or if you are just another Fable attempting to make a life for himself. Either way we'll work together for this 100.

|DLC: Episode 1: Faith
|Price: $4.99 USD Achievements: 7 Points: 100
|Welcome to Fabletown
|Completed Chapter 1 of Episode 1.
We begin the game with a short introduction that brings us into the world of FABLES. We find out that our cast of characters and story will take place in New York City where the people of Fabletown now live. As Sheriff Bigby Wolf we must protect the creatures of Fable from harming each other. Let's begin!
A little disclaimer on the fight sequences. There are (from what I've encountered) numerous ways it can go about. I will only provide one way, and it may not even be the "perfect" way. I will let you know if a sequence can only be done with one specific pattern, or if like this first one, there are many ways to get to the end.
On the topic of how much money the Woodsman owes the woman. - Woman
|Wolf in Sheriff's Clothing
|Completed Chapter 2 of Episode 1.
When we finally regain control, we'll be outside the Woodlands and will be able to look at the plaque before we enter. Once inside you can look down at the "stay off the grass" sign before entering the apartments for some more background info. Right before you actually get inside, Bigby will notice someone or something off. There is someone hiding behind the tree. Bigby will be presented with a non-altering dialog statement to prop the person out from cover.
When you finally get outside you need to remove the jacket off of the steps. BAM. It's the head of the woman from before.
Now our investigation will go down one major step. Going to the entrance of the apartments will only for Bigby only to check the bushes to the left that will yield nothing new. To the right hand side of the screen down the path to the fence, and back toward the entrance to the apartments. If we head to the right hand side we will see a blood trail that needs examining. You should view it and then touch it to get the most out of the back story behind the murder. Before you get to the gate examine and then pick up the scrap of fabric. Although it doesn't appear to be much right now, it'll probably come into play when we are trying to find the murder later. Next on our investigation can be a quick look at the trash can which you should examine twice for an interesting tid-bit of information. Although it will yield nothing new, move onto the top of the fence both examining the blood and touching it.
Investigation Over
|The Long Goodbye
|Completed Chapter 3 of Episode 1.
We get thrown right into the mix of things upon trying to enter the business office. A gentlemen steps out from the line to challenge us on moving right by him.

|Completed Chapter 4 of Episode 1.
As soon as we make it to the gate we are forced into a huge decision. Ultimately deciding where to go will affected the immediate future (the rest of the episode), and most likely the rest of the season as well.
|Panic in the Parlours
|Completed Chapter 5 of Episode 1.
Without dilly dallying let's get right into it. Welcome back to chapter 5.
Upon getting downstairs you'll hear some more yelling from Toad's apartment with Snow standing right outside. When you get to the door Snow will ask Bigby to be nice. You can either go in unannounced or can attempt to get Toad to come to the door. Either way when you enter the scene it is a bit chaotic and Toad is acting extremely strange. There will be some initial dialog of which is non-altering leading up to you telling Toad you are going to leave when you are ready no matter how you phrase it.
When we get control there will be plenty to look around at and for. We should start with the door behind Bigby. Notice that the door has a broken lock. Toad will make an excuse for it, the first of many. Next take a look at the lamp on the ground. Notice how it is not only broken, but its relative location and lack of being on that table. We'll move down the little stairs and take a look at the blood stain on the wall next. Toad will make up another story, but notice he is wearing a hat now. Interesting. Across the way from the blood stain on the wall notice the clean space on the desk where the lamp used to be.
This sequence is very forgiving so feel free to make many mistakes and still get to almost the same conclusion.
When you get to the door not only will nobody answer, but the door will be locked. We'll then need to head around to the side of the building. You can try to look in and to talk to Lawrence, but eventually you will need to climb in.
This sequence is very forgiving so feel free to make many mistakes and still get to almost the same conclusion.
Unlock a book of Fables after being sucker-punched by Dum. This one is for the Tweedles.
|A Light Snowfall
|Completed Episode 1: "Faith"

Anthropomorphized species as tools for conservation: utility beyond prosocial, intelligent and suffering species

Anthropomorphism has recently emerged in the literature as a useful tool for conservation. Within the current conservation literature, description of the development of anthropomorphisms and the range of species that can be anthropomorphized overlooks established and emerging evidence from anthropological and other social science studies of human–animal relationships. This research shows that people anthropomorphize a very broad range of species, including plants. We discuss how people construct anthropomorphic meanings around species, through a diversity of mechanisms and with both positive and negative effects. We then review the many gradations and forms of anthropomorphism, and some related conceptions in non-Western cultures, which have different types of utility for conservation. Finally we discuss cases where animals are anthropomorphized but with negative outcomes for human-animal interactions and conservation. Limiting the use of anthropomorphism in conservation to prosocial, intelligent, suffering animals risks suggesting that other species are not worthy of conservation because they are not like humans in the "right" ways. It would also mean overlooking the application of a powerful tool to the promotion of low-profile species with high biological conservation value. We emphasize that negative outcomes and conflicts with ecosystem-level conservation actions are also possible and need to be carefully managed. Use of anthropomorphism in conservation must take into account how people engage with species and attribute value to their characteristics.

Photos: Rio de Janeiro Buildings Collapse, Three Dead on January 25, 2012
Posted by mleyba on 01/26/2012 9:39am MDT tags: Photo
RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — Three bodies were pulled from the rubble of three collapsed buildings on Thursday, an official with the Rio de Janeiro Fire Department said. Another 21 people were still missing after the buildings went down in the city's historic center.
Mayor Eduardo Paes said a structural problem may have caused a building of about 20 stories to collapse at about 8:30 p.m., and that apparently caused the collapse of two smaller buildings nearby. Officials were still investigating the causes, however.
In addition to the dead and missing, at least six other people were treated for injuries caused by the accident, which left rubble and thick dust strewn over a wide area near Rio's famed Teatro Municipal and the Fine Arts Museum.
