408-Inch Mopar StrokerWritten by on March 1, 2002 600 HP On Pump Gas
When we heard that Mopar Performance had introduced 4-inch-stroke replacement cranks for its small-block engine family, we took notice. When we found out these cast-steel gems can be snagged for under $300, we had to have one. The cranks are available for either the 2.500-inch small main journal size used in the 273/318/340 series or a 2.810-inch 360-size main. We leaned towards the 360 crank, since 360 cores are still easy pickings and come with a standard bore of 4 inches, yielding 408 cubes of Mopar muscle with the stroker crank and a 0.030-inch overbore. With that in mind, we yanked a 360 from a 72 Dodge van at the boneyard and were in big-inch small-block business.
Strokes The Word
With a block deck height of 9.6 inches and a cam location up and out of the way, the small-block Mopars crankcase is plenty roomy for a big 4-inch arm. Block mods for this combo are limited to some minor notching at the bottoms of the bores for rod bolt clearance. In contrast to other more modestly endowed small-blocks, all factory Mopar small-blocks came sporting long 6.123-inch rods. The combination of lofty decks and long rods enables the stoker combo to come together with a reasonable rod ratio of 1.53:1, while keeping the piston pin clear of the oil ring in a standard ring package.
Besides the stroker crank, putting together any stroker project requires specific pistons with a correspondingly shorter compression height than a standard slug. Although a long-stroke engine often evokes images of a lazy, low-rpm torque brute, we planned on building ours for big torque and ample top-end horsepower. To this end, we elected to fill the bottom end with premium components. Diamond Racing, a company long known in Mopar circles as a pipeline for serious race hardware, supplied lightweight forged stroker flattops with a factory pin diameter of 0.9842 inch. With the long stroke, a flattop piston can be dialed in to quite a wide range of compression ratios depending upon chamber volume.
While adding cubes is easy, getting them to pay off requires catering to the engines increased craving for air. We looked no further than the Mopar Performance catalog and ordered a set of W-2 iron performance heads, which were first introduced in 1976. Though the W-2 is a performance upgrade over any production head, we pulled out our grinder and gave them a basic home porting job (see Basic Head Porting, Feb. 02). The W-2 responded well to our efforts, yielding a 315-cfm intake flow, and 230 cfm of exhaust (with flow pipe) compared to 245/140-cfm stock, as tested on Westechs SuperFlow 600 flowbench.
Why use an exotic head like the W-2? Essentially, the W-2 and other similar aftermarket heads address and correct several bottlenecks to performance inherent in the small-block Mopar head architecture by offsetting the intake rockers to move the pushrods away from the center of the port for increased intake-port width. With the factory valvetrain, the intake ports cross-sectional area is limited adjacent to the pushrods, while the W-2s layout makes room for a wider port at the pushrod pinch. The W-2s wider oval intake ports require a corresponding W-2 intake manifold. At the other end, the W-2 has raised exhaust ports and a spread bolt pattern at the header flange.
The bolt pattern change allows easy installation of large-tube headers, whereas the stock layout causes the header bolts to be crimped against the tubeseven with 1-5/8-inch street headers. Finally, the W-2 is available in a long-valve version, which increases the valvespring installed height from the factory1.65 inches to 2.00 inches, making room for the stouter springs needed to go with high-lift cams. W-2s come in a number of different chamber configurations. Our W-2 has the standard 70cc production-style open chamber. After the porting work, we had 75 ccs for a compression ratio of 10.4:1. Milling the heads can bring the ratio near 12:1 with the same flattop pistons.
With lots of cubes and plenty of airflow, the next choice is the camshaft. We wanted to open the valves enough to take advantage of the good flow of our W-2 heads, but we didnt want the huge duration that a flat tappet would require to meet our desired lift goals. Fast valve action and reliability with high lifts at the accompanying high spring loads steered us towards a solid-roller. We went with the smallest solid-roller in Cranes lineup, a 260/266 @ 0.050-inch grind.
This Mopar 408 is a rowdy little thumper with enough lope to know it means business, but docile enough to idle nicely at 950 rpmalthough with less than 5 inches of vacuum its no pussycat. Wind it up, and theres over 600-plus horsepower on tap, and its all Mopar.

We filled up with ordinary 91-octane Unocal unleaded pump gas and ran the small-block on the dyno. Loading it up against the SuperFlow, we found 607 hp @ 6,300 rpm, and 551 lb-ft @ 5,100 rpm. That's plenty of horsepower and torque in our book.A small notch at the bottom of the bore is all it takes for a Mopar 360 block to swallow a 4-inch-stroke crank.The Mopar Performance stroker crank has large fillet radius journals requiring chamfered bearings for clearance. We used Federal Mogul Competition Series main bearings, which cleared without additional massaging.We installed a set of Milodon four-bolt main caps, which required line boring the block. Milodon main studs were used to clamp the caps to the block.Pistons are Diamond Racing flattops, rods are Eagle H-beam, rings are Total Seal gapless top rings, and rod bearings are Federal Mogul Competition Series, again chamfered to match the crank fillets.The final balancing bobweight for our combo was 1,946 grams, which is lightweight in Moparland. The crank needed some Mallory heavy metal to be internally balanced, making the balance job cost as much as the crank. The production 360 external balance factor is too heavy, though a custom external balance factor could have been used for a cheaper balance job at the expense of future interchangeability of components like flywheels, flexplates, converters, and dampers.Our buddy Roger Helgesen applied TechLine's thermal barrier coating to the piston tops and an anti-friction coating to the piston skirts. Thermal barrier coatings help retain combustion heat in the cylinder during the power stroke where it does some good, rather than in the piston where it doesn't. The skirt coating combats the increased skirt loading with the shorter rod ratio that comes with stroker cranks.Total Seal's gapless rings are a two-piece design with a grooved main ring and rail which eliminates the gap. Leakdown was less than 1 percent after engine break-in.
For a camshaft, we went with a Crane solid-roller that spec'd out at 260/266 @ 0.050 inch, and 0.420-inch lobe lift on a 108-degree lobe-separation angle. It was the smallest solid-roller in the company's catalog. Traditionally, when installing a solid-roller in a Mopar small-block, the oil to the tappets needs to be blocked to prevent the lifter waist from uncovering the gallery, which results in zero oil pressure. To block it and still feed the mains required sleeving the gallery, peening the sleeve in the lifter bores, and drilling oil-feed holes down to the mains. Crane says its lifter design simply drops in and works without all that fussing. They did. Oil pressure was 30 psi at idle and 70 psi at high rpm. As pointed out in the Crane instructions, some clearance needs to be ground into the block for the link bars.With big cams, don't skip checking valve-to-piston clearance. A clay check showed we had a mile.In a Mopar small-block, the right oil gallery supplies the No. 1-4 mains, and then the oil transfers back up from the No.1 main to feed the left gallery. We blocked the right side feed to the No. 1 main, and fabricated this 3/8-inch tube crossover, which supplies the left gallery, and sends oil down to the No. 1 main from there. This mod helps with main oiling at high rpm.To drive the cam, we installed a Milodon fixed-idler gear-drive system, which fits under the stock timing cover. We couldn't hear it over the open headers while it was on the dyno. The cam was degreed to an installed centerline of 104 degrees.The windage tray, oil pump, and pickup are Milodon items. We found that the tray louvers need some minor dimpling in line with the rods for comfortable clearance with the stroker crank once the pan was on.We used a Probe Industries lightweight elastomer damper and sealed off the bottom with a Milodon pan.Our W-2 heads are Mopar's PN 4529995 long-valve econo heads with Mopar 2.02-inch intake and 1.60-inch exhaust valves, all from Westoaks Dodge in Thousand Oaks, California. The springs are Crane PN 99876, shimmed to achieve 185 pounds of seat load, while the retainers are Crane's racy titanium with corresponding locks.We needed dual springs to run the roller cam, so the spring seats in the W-2 heads had to be machined down. We used a seat cutter from Powerhouse. We cut the tips of the guides for PC seals and took an extra 0.100 inch off for increased retainer-to-guide clearance.To work the valves, we used a set of Crane aluminum rockers in a 1.6:1 ratio. We actually measured them as delivering a 1.63:1 ratio for 0.665-inch lift at the valve after lash with the cam. Up top, a Mopar Performance W-2 tunnel ram got the nod, because we like the brutal image and power it produces.
On top of the tunnel ram, we mounted a set of Demon 750TR carbs, which are specifically calibrated for tunnel ram applications. Hey, if they've got them calibrated it means less work for us.


text: 746 FXUS63 KARX 310445 AFDARX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service La Crosse WI 1145 PM CDT MON MAY 30 2016 .SHORT TERM...(This evening through Tuesday) Issued at 340 PM CDT Mon May 30 2016 Primary concerns through Tuesday include timing, coverage, and strength of thunderstorms as a slow moving Pacific trough moves across the Northern Plains and into the Upper MS River Valley. 30.20Z analysis shows the mid-upper level low across north-central MT with a broad surface trough from northeast ND into western NE. The warm front is well defined by developing cumulus this afternoon and stretches across southwest MN into central IA. This front will lift northward this evening and overnight, bringing a chance for showers and storms for most of the forecast area. Increasing moisture transport behind the front will allow elevated instability to increase up to 1000 J/kg, but with weak overall shear, not expecting any severe convection overnight. Attention then turns to Tuesday as the low and surface cold front march slowly eastward across MN. Trends in the 30.12Z models show a much slower frontal progression, such that it doesn`t reach the far western forecast area until near 00Z Wednesday. With the front serving as the primary focus for additional thunderstorm development, there could be a several hour break in convective activity Tuesday morning into the early afternoon, especially east of the MS River. By Tuesday afternoon however, MLCAPE increases to between 1000 and 2000 J/kg. Deep layer shear is rather weak, but there is upwards of 30 kts below 3 km. Because of this, primary convective mode should be multi-cellular with some strong to severe storms possible. Primary threats with the strongest storms will be damaging wind, large hail, and heavy downpours. For now, forecast area is highlighted by a marginal risk, but wouldn`t be surprised if a small area is eventually upgraded to a slight risk if higher instability/shear values can be realized. Will also want to watch for areas of heavy rain given PWATS increasing to near 1.5 inches and upper level flow parallel to the surface front. Not expecting flooding at this time with much of the area still below normal precipitation for the month of May, but heavy rain may result in rises on area rivers and some issues in urban areas. All said, slowed the eastward progression of higher POPs Tuesday afternoon and evening, exiting the easternmost forecast area by 12Z Wednesday. .LONG TERM...(Tuesday night through Monday) Issued at 340 PM CDT Mon May 30 2016 Wednesday will be mostly dry, but could see some lingering showers and isolated thunderstorms in post frontal air mass. It will be a cooler and breezy day with highs in the 70s and westerly wind gusts up to 25 mph. Thursday will be cool and dry with surface high pressure dominating the regional weather pattern. Synoptic pattern still on track for a major shift Friday into early next week with an amplifying ridge across the intermountain west, putting the eastern half of the CONUS in a broad trough with northwest flow aloft across the forecast area. This increases the chance for showers and thunderstorms with short-waves dropping south from Canada. The strongest of these is forecast to move through the area Friday night into Saturday, but chance POPs still seem reasonable at this time. Higher confidence in temperatures with daily highs generally in the 70s and lows in the 50s. && .AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Tuesday night) Issued at 1144 PM CDT Mon May 30 2016 Periods of showers and a few thunderstorms are expected at the TAF sites during the overnight hours. Conditions could drop to MVFR or IFR briefly in the heavier showers. After a brief break in the activity Tuesday morning more widespread showers and storms move in Tuesday afternoon. Some of these storm could be on the strong side with gusty winds and hail possible. Brief periods of IFR conditions are possible Tuesday afternoon into Tuesday evening, especially in any heavier shower and storm activity. && .ARX Watches/Warnings/Advisories... WI...None. MN...None. IA...None. && $$ SHORT TERM...ROGERS LONG TERM...ROGERS AVIATION...WETENKAMP

Old Lyme - Carolyn M. McCarthy was remembered Monday as a faithful parishioner of Christ the King Church and a well-loved neighbor who cared deeply about others.
McCarthy, 95, died Sunday after a stove ignited her clothes Saturday night in her home at 7 Lyme St., a landmark building in the town's historic village district. The two-story, four-unit white condominium building is now evacuated and awaiting some decisions about its future.
Monsignor Thomas R. Bride of Christ the King said McCarthy was a devoted Catholic who walked one-tenth of a mile each morning to Mass. She had attended Saturday Mass on the evening of the fire.
"She had a lot of spunk and a lot of character," he recalled fondly. "She loved God and she loved her faith."
Carol Brown, McCarthy's neighbor at the condominium, which is part of a homeowners association that includes Boxwood Apartments, also remembered McCarthy as a sincere, independent and friendly person.
"She loved her family," said Brown. "She cared about people here, and, of course, she loved her church."
McCarthy's family members said Monday they were grateful to the community.
"We appreciate the support of the community," said Sara Pepitone, McCarthy's granddaughter.
Fire Marshal David Roberge said three full-time residents lived in the 19th-century building off Lyme Street. Another person had a secondary residence in the building.
The fire started Saturday at the kitchen stove, which lit McCarthy's clothing. She was flown to Bridgeport Hospital, where she died Sunday.
Fire departments from nearby towns, including Old Saybrook, Lyme, East Lyme, Westbrook, Clinton, Deep River and Essex, responded to the scene.
There were no other injuries related to the fire, said Roberge. The American Red Cross has offered temporary and short-term housing, as well as supplies, to the displaced fire victims.
The building has been boarded up and secured, he said. He said insurance companies have been notified and he awaits further direction from the homeowners association.
Bride said McCarthy was a devoted mother and grandmother and cared about others. She was also well-read, keeping up on events both in the church and in the world.
"She just never gave up her quest for learning," he said.
Brown, her neighbor, recalled one St. Patrick's Day when she had returned to Connecticut after traveling. When McCarthy spotted Brown in the hallway, she insisted that she join her family for their St. Patrick's Day dinner.
"It was the best corned beef dinner I've ever had," said Brown. "She was that kind of a person."

Use this soccer training drill to warm up your players and work on their passing skills before a match starts.
Watching other teams warm up can often deliver a fatal blow, even before a ball is kicked…
You want other teams to be looking at your players and thinking "Uh oh, they look good!" Warm up drills are very important, especially when you've spent hours on the training pitch. Don't be sluggish at the first whistle.
Here's a good warm-up drill to get those passing skills going:
Gate warm up drill
- Get your players to make a three x five yard square with cones and stand at opposite ends. The players must take a touch to the side, then pass through the middle of the two cones (gate).
- If one of the players makes a mistake, then the other player gets a point and restarts the soccer drill.
- The players must use both feet and various parts of the foot to control the ball and make the pass in this drill, for example, inside, outside and sole with both right and left foot.

The Dream of Open Dwelling
In After Heaven, the eminent sociologist of religion Robert Wuthnow distinguishes between two common forms of religious life, dwelling and seeking. Wuthnow's description of traditional religious dwelling is succinct and useful. At its fullest, he argues, dwelling situates the believer under what Peter Berger called a "sacred canopy" (167): within a well-mapped religious cosmos, a well-established and organized religious community, richly symbolic religious structures, and a round of rituals that consecrate time. It requires, in return, that the believer "learn to be at home," obeying the rules and playing the roles assigned by the religious community (146). The satisfactions of such a position include social and spiritual security, personal equanimity, and strength; its social benefits are also significant.
Wuthnow argues that this traditional "spirituality of dwelling" (3), once the dominant form of life in the West as in many other cultures, is becom-

Why Advertise on GoNOMAD?
People plan trips based on ideas they read about and friends they talk to. Articles on GoNOMAD are very quickly indexed on Google, so they show up as results in searches for places and activities.
Your travel business benefits by being on GoNOMAD. We are a well regarded travel content site where people's travel ideas are born. With 11,000 followers on Twitter and a legion of nearly 2500 Facebook fans, we've knit into the social media travel space. We've arrived.
GoNOMAD is in Good Company
Look at the ads on this page, the large display ads are served by our advertising agency, Travora Media. This network of more than 300 large and mid-sized travel websites publishes millions of pageviews of ads, and GoNOMAD has been with them since the very beginning.
If you want to judge whether GoNOMAD is a good place for your company to advertise, consider the companies who already advertise: Swiss Tourism, Air New Zealand, Mass Office of Tourism, Japan Airlines, La Quinta Hotels, Expedia, DK Eyewitness Guides, Palm Springs Tourism and dozens more.
They know we're a reliable source of top quality, fact filled information, and that's the travel market people are looking for.
They want information, recently published news, and reports about where they might go for their next big trip.
Attracting Visitors to Your Website
Travel magazines still have a role to play in the industry and some large metropolitan newspapers still have travel sections, but very few travel businesses would survive for long if they depended on print media to attract customers.
On the Web: an internet user does a search for information about the Canary Islands (or some other destination), goes to GoNOMAD and sees a link to a hotel or a tour company, and then visits their website.
GoNOMAD's advertising is especially effective because we start with a base of "self-selected" travelers. More than 80 percent of Americans, for example, have never obtained a passport and probably never will, so travel businesses looking for customers have to target the 20 percent (or fewer) who are actually going to travel.
Narrowing the Field
The viewers who see your ad on GoNOMAD have already shown they are interested in traveling, and in many cases they have already shown that they are interested in traveling to a particular destination.
As an alternative travel website GoNOMAD is especially effective at attracting customers who are interested in sustainable travel and participatory travel that allows them to experience the culture of the destination they're visiting in a way that benefits the community and the environment. We also draw many travelers who are interested in the rapidly growing fields of adventure travel and women-only travel.
Contact us (413/665-5070 EMAIL) to see how we can customize an advertising package to fit your advertising goals and budget. Here is a sample advertising package:
Front page display ad center position - 200 x 240 ad in center of front page . We can create the button or use your creative or text ad. The cost $349 per month for six months. Guaranteed 2000+ page views per day.
Front page. small button on lower right side. $249 per month for six months.
Newsletter Display Advertising - This includes photos and a short message about your travel business. The cost is $395. Here's an example. The newsletter contains short excerpts and photos from new stories on GoNOMAD. GoNOMAD's Newsletter is emailed to 14,000 opt-in recipients each month. Six consecutive monthly issue price is $1895.
Directory Listings - We publish four directories with over 54,000+ listings for study abroad, teaching jobs abroad, volunteering overseas, internships and language schools. All our updated daily, and are comprehensive and very user friendly. You can include your button on these targeted directories and the ad will appear on each searched page. Sample volunteering directory. $500 per year listing.
Cut to the chase. Just give me the rates.
A MILLION BACKLINKS: This is how you judge the power and reach of a website. These are the links from other sites that link back to you.
Since GoNOMAD has been on the web since 2000, we have more than
1,092,741 backlinks.
according to Google Webmaster tools.
This means advertising and articles will be quickly found in searches.

Solicit means to ask for. It is what those people on the street are doing, when they ask, "Do you have a moment to talk about the destruction of the planet?" They are soliciting donations for their cause.
Solicit has an official sounding impressiveness to it––doesn't soliciting donations sound better than begging for money? It can also have a more sinister cast. "When the teacher left the room, two girls solicited their friends to throw all the textbooks out the windows, injuring members of the cheer squad below — where they were soliciting signatures for a petition banning smoking in the football locker rooms."
Definitions of solicit

A bit of diversion from my typical posting. I've been tinkering with the site for the Handbook and wanted to share a bit of the process and design that went in to some eye candy.
As I explained in my previous posting, I'm trying to achieve a regionally-balanced coverage for the Handbook. To make that balance manifest, my vision was to include a map of the world, adorn it with push pins representing the location of each system, and then provide a mechanism for navigating from each city to individual systems found at that location. When I set out, I had absolutely no idea how I was going to do this, but rather I expected that when the time came, I'd find a way.
A couple of nights ago, having slogged through enough paper and itching to do some programming, I decided that the time had come. Some time ago, I'd decided upon a suitable map which I then purchased from The Living Earth, a satellite composite of a cloud-free world in a cylindrical projection.
My next task was to build a suitable data model to manage locations. I'm using MySQL for the site, behind which lies a database with a modest schema consisting of about five normalized tables (which, of course, I'd modeled first with Rational Software Architect). One of those tables provides an abstraction of each system, including its name, genre, type, status, and location. The location key points to another table that collects city, state, and country names, together with simple Cartesian coordinates representing each location's placement on a given map.
Before connecting the database to the page containing the map, I did a few experiments to settle on a simply way to render the pushpins and provide a popup menu for each. In Photoshop I whipped up a 5x5 pixel graphic for the pushpin and then used a div tag to position that image on the map. Next, I needed to attach a popup menu to that graphic, which Dreamweaver made trivial, as this was a behavior that one could drop in with a simple wizard. Studying the code that was plopped in, I simplified it a bit by hand, tweaked the appearance, then declared victory for this experiment: I knew that what I wanted to render was possible.
Next, I needed to slam out some code to generate the appropriate graphics and menus from the database. First, I wrote and tested a bean that let me talk to the location database; this was trivial, as the bean was virtually identical to all the other impedance matchers I'd written for the other tables (thank you, Eclipse). Next, I wrote some JavaScript to generate a few lines of HTML for each location: the div tag containing a link containing the pushpin graphic, adorned with suitable onMouseOver and onMouseOut calls to render a popup menu. My next-to-last step involved cutting some more JavaScript that generated the menu for each location, a simple matter of iterating over the location and systems tables and populating each menu with the name of and a link to all systems found at each location.
That finished my coding task, leaving me only to set the X/Y location of each city/state/country, an effort that I eyeballed with the help of maps from Encarta and Yahoo.
You can see the results here (remember, you'll need to be logged into the Handbook first).

Washington DC was again invaded by a small prop driven airplane tonight.
The President was valiantly relocated. Rudely interrupted in the throes of voting, Congress too was evacuated. Pedestrians on Pennsylvania Avenue were hurried along by anxious "agents."
The onslaught lasted for an excruciating ten minutes before the "all-clear" was given.
This was the latest in a string of attacks on the capital mounted by small aircraft. This time from the rogue state Delaware. The motives for the attack are not known.
The offending plane was a King Air 350, said Michael D. Kucharek, a spokesman for North American Aerospace Defense Command in Colorado.
After it was detected, two Air Force F-16 Fighting Falcons scrambled from Andrews..
The fighters "got the pilot's attention pretty quick," Kucharek said.

The removal of the OEM exhaust was the most labor intensive piece of the job. Connecting the Magnaflow was easy, getting into the right spacing/position was a bit more difficult. Once in place is was hard to move one section without impacting another. Went to local muffler shop to check/verify location, connections, fit and torque values on collars/clamps... Love the look & sound - lower not louder!

Golf - A Love Story
Jerry Bryan
Did you fall in love at the age of six?
I did.
Through a fluke that bordered on tragedy, I was introduced to something ageless, timeless and limitless. And I am hoping by telling the tale of the trials & tribulations of this now over-45-year love affair, you will identify and smile.
I started writing, gosh, years ago, just for my own enjoyment. Then a friend suggested I start a blog, so I did. Then people started reading it and suggested I write a book, so I did.
Please don't suggest I jump off a bridge.

Expiration Date
The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.
Shipping Weight:?0.83 lbs (0.38 kg)
Shipping Weight
The Shipping Weight includes the product, protective packaging material and the actual shipping box. In addition, the Shipping Weight may be adjusted for the Dimensional Weight (e.g. length, width & height) of a package. It is important to note that certain types of products (e.g. glass containers, liquids, fragile, refrigerated or ice packed) will often require protective packaging material. As such, these products will reflect a higher Shipping Weight compared to the unprotected product.

iHerb Customer Reviews
A decent cleansing shampoo. It cleans my oily scalp well, but does leave it feeling a little itchy right after. It smells nice and lathers well, but I don't find this shampoo to be anything special. I wash my hair every 3 days and notice my hair and scalp get really oily again after the second day with this shampoo. I don't think I'd buy it again as I prefer the Tea Tree Triple Treat shampoo, which leaves my hair and scalp clean for the whole 3 days.
Yellowish-transparent runny shampoo with a minty scent. Lathers well and overall nice to use but totally dries the hair out. I have oily roots and dry ends and after 2-3 washes I could hardly brush through the hair even after using a powerful conditioner. This shampoo gives me one more day before I have to wash again but the severe dryness doesn't worth it. It might be a good one for someone with thicker and undamaged hair. Please click "yes" if this information was helpful. See other reviews and info on my personal page.

I'm currently using the following to generate an 8 character pseudo random upper case string [A-Z]
value = ""; 8.times{value << (65 + rand(25)).chr}
but it looks junky, and since it isn't a single statement it can't be passed as an argument. To get a mixed case string [a-zA-Z] I further hack into it with
value = ""; 8.times{value << ((rand(2)==1?65:97) + rand(25)).chr}
Just looks like trash. Anyone have a better method?

The bike I am looking at is a Quintana Roo Caliente Tri bike which by the size chart will fit me very well. Bike appears to be in great shape.
Now the kicker.
I don't really need a tri bike.
I was riding often but tore a calf muscle and just now getting back on(slow and out of shape).
I ride for exercise but would like to get into group rides and evolve from there.
I currently ride a mercier bikesdirect sc2. My fiance shows moderate interest this bike will fit her.
The Quintana is listed for 450 and from what I can tell that is a awesome deal.

Bandeau Bikini - Arembebe
If you are looking for something eyecatchy, playful and sexy, I suggest you stop and take a look at Arembebe, a feminine Brazilian bikini that consists of a padded bandeau top and a Brazilian cut bottom, enriched with three athermic metallic rings on both sides. Thanks to its ties, the top can be easily adjusted and, being the bikini fully lined, it won't go transparent when wet. However, it is its bold and bright yellow that will surely catch everybody's attention as soon as you go down to the beach. Arembebe is made of LYCRA® Xtra Life, a resistant and durable fabric that is widely appreciated in the swimwear industry, thanks to its amazing properties. You may emphasize this swimsuit with some chunky accessories and jewels and a big hat, and you will be the envy of the beach.
All our swimwear are brand new and original.
Should there be any size problem, we will exchange the bikini for free.

More people are asking about taking the high school equivalency exam, and a local career center has added more preparation courses and increased the number of people who can take the course at one time.
The goal for many of those people who didn't finish high school is to take and pass the exam yet this year. That's because starting Jan. 2, the General Education Development exam, or GED exam, is changing.
The exam, which is equivalent to earning a high school diploma, usually is updated every 10 to 12 years, and starting next year the exam will go from five sections to four. Students also will have to take the test online, instead of with paper and a pencil, and the cost is increasing.
But one of the changes getting the most attention is to a rule that had allowed people to retake only the sections of the test they didn't pass. Starting next year, that rule is changing. If someone doesn't pass all five sections before the end of the year, they will have to take all four sections of the new online exam to earn their GED, the testing service spokesman Armando Diaz said.
The Central Nine Career Center currently has 12 locations offering GED courses in Johnson County and southern Marion County, which help students who have been away from high school for several years review lessons in math, science, social studies and language arts.
About 800 people have contacted Central Nine about taking a course, and currently about 250 are enrolled in the courses, Central Nine adult education coordinator Michelle Davis said.
The career center plans to add a 13th site soon and also has increased the number of students taking the GED exam at one time from 20 to 30 students.
Central Nine hasn't had a problem giving GED exams or courses to people who wanted or needed them. But when word of the testing changes started to spread at the end of last year, more people contacted Central Nine about completing the test.
"I think we're meeting the needs, but we're growing as the (demand) is growing," Davis said.
Currently the test contains five sections — science, social studies, reading, math and language arts. Next year, that is changing to four sections — science, social studies, math and literacy. A student who doesn't pass all of the sections can retest over the portions they missed. But students who don't pass all five sections before the end of the year will have to take all four sections of the new online exam to earn their GED, Diaz said.
The cost of the GED exam also is increasing, from $70 to $120, Davis said.
The GED is updated about every decade to test over information needed in college and the workforce. For example, the math skills graduates were expected to have in 2004 is different from what will be expected in 2014, Diaz said.
And part of the reason the exam will be given online is because people need to know how to use a computer to apply for jobs and often for job duties once they've been hired, Diaz said.
"We need to make sure our test takers can demonstrate they have some form of basic technology skills," Diaz said.
But the changes to the test worry Jesse Phillips, of Needham, and Laura Ferguson, of Bargersville, who are planning to take the test for the first time this year.
Phillips has been out of high school for 10 years, and Ferguson for 35 years. Phillips worked for about five years at auto body shops after leaving high school one credit short of graduating, and Ferguson has worked mostly at gas stations. Both of them are looking for better careers and know they won't find them without their GEDs.
"We basically can't get on with our lives until we pass this GED test," Ferguson said.
They both worry about taking an online exam, which includes answering essay questions. Phillips' typing skills largely involve circling the keyboard with both index fingers, and he and Ferguson worry they accidentally could lose their answers with an electronic exam.
"I would flunk. I'm computer illiterate," Ferguson said.
Currently Central Nine doesn't have any GED courses or lessons that show students how to take a computer-based test, but Diaz said the national GED testing center is working to see what kind of online testing help career centers can provide students.
Davis is going through statewide GED training to learn about the new exam. Once that's complete, she'll know whether Central Nine can offer any additional courses to Phillips, Ferguson and other students worried about taking an online exam.

Will Rogers World Airport to be smoke-free Sept. 1
The last refuge for smokers at Will Rogers World Airport — a musty, windowless room with yellowed walls off the main terminal — is set to close in September.
The Oklahoma City Airport Trust voted unanimously last week to shut down the smoking room at the airport on Sept. 1.
The smoking lounge sparked complaints from travelers as well as airport workers, said Karen Carney, airport spokeswoman.
"We've been trying to move toward a smoke-free facility, and this is one of the last things we have," Carney said. "It is a really difficult space not only to keep clean, but to prevent secondhand smoke from coming out into the concourse."
After the lounge is closed, smokers at the airport will be relegated to outside.
Smoking at Will Rogers also is banned up to 175 feet away from the entrance areas.
A Center for Disease Control and Prevention study released in November found that air pollution levels outside of designated smoking areas in airports are five times higher than in smoke-free airports.
While many airports have moved to smoke-free status over the past several years, five of the 29 largest airports in the United States still allow smoking in designated areas, according to the study.
Harold Smith, who runs the shoeshine stand near the smoking lounge at Will Rogers said that although he has grown accustomed to the smoke that wafts down the hall from the lounge, he is glad it will be closed.
Smith, who has run the shoeshine stand at Will Rogers for the past 26 years, said he is concerned about the effects of breathing in so much secondhand smoke.
"They should shut it down," he said. "It really is a health hazard."
Smokers in the lounge one recent weekday afternoon were divided on whether the room should be closed.
Atoka resident William Turner, who was on his way to Oregon for the Fourth of July holiday, said he understands that other travelers might be bothered by his secondhand smoke.
"I'll just go outside," Turner said. "It's the choice that smokers make."
Rachel Bonney, an Army private who stopped at Will Rogers for a last cigarette before starting on a trip home to Syracuse, N.Y., from Fort Sill, said she was upset that the lounge would close.
"For smokers who don't fly a lot, you need a cigarette to calm you down," Bonney said.
What will Bonney do once smoking is banned at the airport?
"Drink," she said.

East Lyme - The town is considering a noise control ordinance that would fine violators for exceeding specified decibel levels.
The Board of Selectmen did not pass the ordinance at its Jan. 16 meeting, but will continue to keep the issue on the agenda for its next meeting on Feb. 6. The selectmen will also discuss the cost of training and sound meter equipment with the resident state trooper.
The board said the town can use state statutes to protect residents from noise disturbances. The state has statutes that prohibit noise disturbances, but some towns have adopted ordinances that outline additional regulations.
Robert Scheel of Upper Walnut Hill Road is urging the selectmen to adopt the ordinance, because activities in his neighborhood are generating "huge amounts of noise" which are "very disruptive to human health and well-being," he said at the meeting. Internet videos show ATVs and motorcycles in his neighborhood "rear wheel spinning," "pulling wheelies" and talking about "pissing off the neighbors," according to Scheel.
He described the ill effects of noise pollution, which trigger a "fight or flight" effect in the human body and contribute to problems from anxiety to hypertension, at last week's board meeting.
Some selectmen supported the ordinance, while others had misgivings and would like to further look into the protection that state statutes provide. In addition, some selectmen said the cost of publishing the notice for the ordinance and public hearing in the newspaper would be an expense of about $7,000, for which the town had not budgeted. The selectmen discussed looking into purchasing the equipment and training needed to further enforce noise violations and possibly passing the ordinance in the future, but not now.
Scheel said that the town already has 22 pages of ordinances to address signage issues, while none to specifically address noise problems.
"You can close your eyes, but you can't close your ears," he said.
Waterford, New London and Old Lyme have adopted noise ordinances, according to the website of the state Department of Energy and Environmental Protection, which oversees the ordinances.
The proposed ordinance here would prohibit noise above designated decibel levels that vary slightly for residential and non-residential properties and for daytime and nighttime hours.
It would exclude farming equipment, train horns, school bells and government-mandated warning devices from regulation. Daytime construction, snow removal equipment and sounds arising from emergency situations would also be exempt.
Recreational vehicles, including ATV's, snowmobiles, campers and go-carts, off public right-of-ways would be prohibited to exceed the specified sound limits. The ordinance would exempt motor boats and aircraft.
Police will continue to enforce state statutes pertaining to noise, said Sgt. Wilfred Blanchette, the resident state trooper. The town and police remain dedicated to enforcing laws that ensure a good quality of life for residents, he said.
Town police occasionally receive reports of noise disturbances, generally from occasions such as loud parties or nighttime construction projects on the train tracks, according to Blanchette. Other types of noise complaints arise infrequently and are usually over by the time police respond, which can make enforcement difficult, he explained.
"The relative infrequency of the calls certainly doesn't minimize the impact that the noise may create for the person complaining about it," Blanchette wrote in an email. "First Selectman (Paul) Formica and the Police Department have worked very hard to respond to the needs of the people in this regard and we will continue to do so utilizing existing statutes."
