Summer among Presidents Past in Newport
Newport Bed & Breakfast Inns • Newport, RI
Escape Kit
- A Three-Night Stay for Two in a Deluxe Room, Sundays through Thursdays, at the Black Duck Inn or the Newport Blues Inn
- Daily Breakfast for Two
- Bottle of Wine and Chocolates Upon Arrival
The Destination
The summer home of presidents Eisenhower and Kennedy, the storied beach town of Newport, Rhode Island, boasts the cachet of the Hamptons, the beauty of Cape Cod, and the history of Williamsburg. Founded in 1639, the city is perhaps best known for its Newport Mansions, a collection of beautifully preserved 19th century estates scattered throughout town. But it's far from stodgy here. Newport is home to the White Horse Tavern, one of the oldest pubs in the country, and it's known in some circles as the Sailing Capital of the World. Add to that a handful of great beaches, the Newport Cliff Walk, and a smattering of classic New England seafood restaurants, and it's clear—Newport knows how to summer.
The Digs
Escape to one of two Newport Bed & Breakfast Inns: the Black Duck Inn or the Newport Blues Inn. The Black Duck is the most modern of the two, featuring seven rooms and suites decorated in contemporary furnishings with an eye on the past. The restored Newport Blues Inn comprises 12 rooms, each with hardwood floors and elegant furnishings. Rooms at both inns are appointed with designer linens, private bathrooms (some with Jacuzzi tubs), and flat-screen TVs.
The Diversions
• Head to the Newport Mansions for a peek at 11 historic homes, which span from Colonial times to the Gilded Age and feature beautifully landscaped lawns, tours, and a look back at Newport's past
• Savor a cup of clam chowder and a pulled-pork sandwich at Newport Blues Cafe––named the top entertainment in town for ten years and counting by Newport Life Magazine
• For a more refined time on the town, tuck into native lobster with coconut rice, piquillo peppers, and a hint of curry at Tallulah on Thames, a swanky two-year-old restaurant that focuses on locally sourced, seasonal dishes.

I didn't realize i got this on icenetwork as iam outside the US but managed to try and catch Kozuka, Abbott, and Hanyu. Shame i didn't check sooner. Love Hanyu but that wasn't a good skate. Perhaps getting that record for the short added to the pressure. Iam sure missing the quads takes alot of energy away especially with his asthma.
There were several reasons brezina left his former coaches but there was open disagreement about changing of jumps depending on the competition. Brezina didn't want to
Hanyu obviously needs more experience, and yes, Hanyu was over-scored in the sp, and over-scored in the fp too.
I do like Kozuka, so I'm happy for him. Machida has got a lot of talent. I am not partial to Menshov's skating; although he's very athletic, Menshov flails his arms too much, and he's not a polished skater. His PCS scores were OTT -- that's what I mean by politics playing a role.
As for Oda, if I'm the Japanese fed; he's the one likely holding the bag. All of the other guys have done a much better job of putting it together delivering at least a world medal for Team Japan whereas Oda's unable to count. In fact I think Oda's biggest weakness has been NOT committing to a jump layout and playing it safe way to many times.
So Hanyu placed second at Skate America-the world and his shot at the Grand Prix final didn't end.
Now is the time for Hanyu to find out what he can and cannot do. Perhaps a quad sal in the program too is to much for him. Better to find this out this season then next season. Better to find out at the GP than later on.. If he realizes he can't do it how much easier will things be for him psychologically next year. Thats what Tarasova did with Kulik a year before the Olympics she gave him a program way too difficult for him, and then gave him an easier one the next year. And Kulik won the Olympics..
Now's the time for Hanyu to put the quad sal in.

Poor Hanyu! With 10 points lead from SP but still lost over all.
LOL at the idea one of Takahashi, Hanyu, or Kozuka will have to cede their spot on the World team for Oda. Oda is a has been, who frankly never achieved much of anything comparatively speaking to the others even in his prime. Even if Oda placed top 3 at Nationals I wouldnt be surprised if they still didnt send him to Worlds (and I doubt he will place top 3 at Nationals, even if Hanyu had a competition like here his SP would keep him above Oda overall I bet). Machida has a better chance of making the World team than Oda at this point, which is still virtually none. Those 3 are the team until after Sochi atleast.

A fashion and music trend in the hip hop community that steals the term 'goth' in order to look edgy, and yet hasn't a clue as to what the original goth subculture is about.
I'm exactly the same as any other hip hop fan but dress in black and call myself a 'street goth' because everybody knows that being a 'goth' means that you're dark and dangerous.

Before the U.S. House of Representatives, Subcommittee on Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education Appropriations, Ralph Regula, Chairman
May 1, 2001
Mr. Chairman and Members of the Committee,I am pleased to have this opportunity to describe our funding requirements and performance goals to you today. The appropriation request for student aid administration in FY 2002 totals $883.3 million. Most of that, $780 million, is in the permanent definite appropriation under Section 458 of the Higher Education Act. The other $103 million of our funding is in the Department's request for administration of the Federal Family Education Loan program and for Program Administration. Our workload is growing, but our funding request is essentially level with last year's budget and will remain level at least through FY2004.
SFA is part of a nation-wide system of partner organizations -- schools, State agencies, commercial lenders, and guarantors. Each year our partners and we help make the dreams of nearly 9 million American students come true, by providing them more than $60 billion in financial aid. It's a job we believe in passionately, and the performance-based organization, created by Congress in 1998 with bipartisan support, is helping us do our job better than ever.
We have the numbers to prove it. As you know, the PBO is a kind of contract under which my management team and I accept responsibility for results and, in exchange, we get the tools and flexibility we need to deliver those results. Here are our results so far:
Customer satisfaction -- as measured on the 100-point American Customer Satisfaction Index, which is one of Wall Street's leading indicators of success -- rose from 63 to 72.9. That was the biggest improvement in all of government, putting us just one point under the average score for all private financial services companies. Our multiyear goal was to equal the private sector average. That and better are certainly within reach. A special nod goes to our Ombudsman office for solving customer problems -- they handle the very toughest problems and still get the biggest stack of fan mail -- including this nice letter to one of our Ombudsman workers: "All it took was for someone to just listen and hear my side -- you took the time...and changed everything about this situation from a nightmare to a blessing."
Our second goal is to reduce the cost of delivering financial aid to each student. We call that our unit cost. Since the number of students we serve grows each year, but our budget doesn't, we have to cut unit cost. Our main cost cutting strategy is e-commerce, so we are executing a multiyear plan to invest in modern, integrated technology and phase out our inefficient, stand-alone systems. Those investments will temporarily increase our unit costs to $22.77 this year. But we have some of our new systems in operation now and they are beginning to pay off. Our FY2002 budget is based on a lower unit cost of $21.68. In other words, we will serve 3 million more students without a bigger budget - and we'll serve them better than ever before.
The best businesses have found that employee satisfaction goes hand in hand with customer satisfaction and cost control. Our employee satisfaction -- as measured by an Office of Personnel Management survey of 48 Federal agencies -- rose dramatically from 38th place to a tie for 5th in one year. Top five status was our multiyear PBO goal. No we are using the Gallup Q12 survey to measure employee satisfaction with more precision. It tells us more about how to improve and lets us compare ourselves with the private sector as well as other government agencies.
I am proud of these initial results, and of the fact that school officials and bankers throughout the student aid community tell me they can see great improvements in SFA's performance and in our public-private partnership. I think we are on track to show that government can deliver service and financial results equal to the best in business. But we have to do more than that to be a complete success.
We have to be worthy of trust. I don't believe there is widespread fraud or abuse in student aid programs -- nothing like that. But, any waste of taxpayer dollars calls for all-out effort to recover the funds and plug the holes. We are well into an aggressive program to do that so the Congress and the American people have no doubt about trusting us with the $883 million we want for FY 2002.
The FY 2002 President's Budget includes an explicit commitment to correct the longstanding financial management and operations issues that have resulted in the student aid programs' continued inclusion on the General Accounting Office's High Risk List. It's past time for us to get off this list once and for all, and I'd like to discuss some of the specific steps we're taking to make that happen.
Last year, we drove the student-based cohort default rate to an all-time low of 6.9 percent and boosted collections to an all-time high of $4.3 billion, so that for the second straight year, collections exceeded defaults. But we know we must do more. As loan volume has grown dramatically over the past 8 years, outstanding defaults have increased as well, more than doubling to nearly $25 billion. In addition, there's a chance that a downturn in the economy could take threaten the progress we've made so far, so we are getting even more aggressive. For example, this year we got access to the National Directory of New Hires, an electronic system designed to find deadbeat parents who have skipped out on child support payments. It's just as good at finding student loan defaulters, especially those who are able but unwilling to pay. In January, we compared 2 million records and found over a million defaulters in the New Hires database. Sixty percent of them have jobs paying less that $16,000, so they are protected from collection activities. But we recently turned over to our collectors the names, addresses, and phone numbers of 424,508 people who owe us over $2 billion, and our collectors have already contacted 21,000 of them and gotten over $20 million back for the Treasury. Just yesterday, we sent 3 million more records to HHS to bounce against the New Hires data, this time with the files of 10 guaranty agencies that are looking for defaulters, too. We'll run the lists every quarter.
But we know an ounce of prevention is even better. At the start of this school year we held a National Repayment Symposium to give everyone in the student aid community a chance to learn from the best in the business. A hundred professionals came and a thousand more have read the book of lessons from the symposium at on the web at http://ifap.ed.gov/eannouncements/0119stuhbkbestprectice.html. Next, we are homing in on schools where more than 15 percent of students default. We're bringing them in for an Anti-Default Training Day on August 2, to drill on the proven ways schools can keep students out of financial trouble.
Last year, we discovered and plugged a hole in our shield against pilferage -- a dishonest employee had found a way to order telephones, computers, and other electronic equipment and have it billed to the government and delivered to his home and homes of several other employees and friends. We have recovered a lot of the goods and so far seven people have pled guilty to charges and now face up to 10 years in prison. We also established what we should have had before -- a no-exception procurement system that completely separates ordering from receiving and authorizing payment, so that no one person can do it all.
We've started using that same kind of fail-safe system -- the kind that requires at least two people to approve - any time we manually override one of our automated systems. We looked at the history of misrouted payments and double payments and found that almost every time, somebody had made a mistake during a manual override of an automated system. So now we handle manual overrides the way the military handles atomic weapons -- two people -- two keys, if you will. We take it that seriously.
Because of growing trends we began to suspect some fraud in death and disability claims, so we asked the Department's Inspector General (IG) to look into it. File matches with the Social Security Administration and credit bureaus have confirmed our suspicions -- 153 "dead or disabled" borrowers with debts over $10,000 each are apparently still working and earning enough to pay us back. I know that in the grand scheme of things that doesn't sound like a huge problem, but we just won't tolerate it. We have turned the 153 cases over to the IG's investigators who doing the legwork for legal action. (Note: The turnover meeting with the IG is scheduled this month prior to the hearing.) To fight future fraud, we asked guaranty agencies to dig into claims more thoroughly, and we changed the claim form for disability to include the doctor's licensing number and state -- and, effective July 1, 2001, we are requiring an original or certified copy of the individual's death certificate. We think that will plug the hole in our defenses.
To test our fix, four guaranty agencies have volunteered to help with some high-intensity screening. Starting next month, the guaranty agencies will file their death or disability claims after completing their more thorough reviews with the new doctor license and death certificate safeguards in place. Then they will send the file to our affiliate, ECMC. ECMC will go over each file with a fine-tooth comb to ensure that all accuracy checks have been done. If everything checks out on a disability claim, they will set it aside for 90 days and then check with national credit bureaus to see what changes have occurred in the borrower's pattern of financial activity. They will also check it against the National Student Loan Data System to see if the disability discharge is reflected for all of the borrower loans and determine why not if that action is not recorded. If all appears correct, they will set it aside for review again at 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, and a final check at the end of year 3. ECMC will be doing the same sort of thing with death claims -- checking periodically over three years with the SSA Death file and credit bureaus for any evidence of criminal fraud.
We are hoping this high-intensity screening will come up empty -- that the guaranty agency reviews along with requiring doctors' license numbers and certified death certificates will stop or catch all the fraud attempts. But if some are still slipping through, we will make high-intensity screening part of the routine for all guaranty agencies.
Americans who attend foreign schools are eligible for FFEL loans, but the way the money flows makes it vulnerable to fraud. You see, under law, American students in foreign schools may get their aid money directly from the lenders, not through the schools like they do in the States. So, it is much easier for someone to con the Federal government by falsifying foreign enrollment. The issue is not one of school fraud, but fraud cooked up by individuals who use valid social security numbers. The National Student Clearinghouse is conducting a pilot project with foreign schools and guaranty agencies to help us get a better fix on foreign school enrollment, and we're working on other ways to fix the problem. But the best fix would be to change the law so we could involve the schools the way we do here in the U.S. It's that old two-person fail-safe system again. If we had the same money flow as we have in the States, a student couldn't defraud us without collusion by the school.
This month, we will finish recertifying all foreign schools that want to handle Title IV funds -- we only have a few to go. We sort of saved the best until last -- Oxford, Cambridge, The University of London. Overall 487 foreign schools applied for recertification and 50 were denied. The average default rate for foreign schools is only 2.6 percent.
Congress asked us to compare data with the IRS to check whether people report all their income when they apply for student aid. We have run some initial tests with them to see if misreporting is a big problem. Last April, we compared student income information from 50,000 applicants and found that, on average, the income they reported to SFA was $154 lower than what they reported to IRS. Annual income of $154 doesn't have much affect on a Pell Grant, for example -- only about 60 cents. So, there is no pattern of widespread cheating. We took a closer look at the more significant income mismatches and got a surprise: 1/3 of them had actually reported higher income when they applied for aid -- we'll dig into the reasons for that because we don't want to shortchange students on eligibility. We also found that about 10 percent of the sample underreported their income to us by an average of $7,000 -- enough to raise a red flag and make us interested in expanding IRS crosschecks. This year, we are comparing 200,000 files including parents' income information as well as students. We should have those results soon. We would like to make cross-checking with IRS a routine step in our application process, but there are some obstacles. One is timing. Most schools need aid applications processed before the April tax deadline, but the IRS database doesn't contain all the latest tax year information until around August, so we will never be able to match records completely at the time we are processing applications. Last April, the IRS database had records for only 76 percent of our sample. The other problem is that the IRS is understandably reluctant to use tax information in this way without a change in the tax code. We are ready to work with IRS and the Congress to see if we can overcome these obstacles.
The heart of financial integrity is a good set of books. I'm sorry to say we failed again last year to get a clean audit. There were fewer problems with our books than the year before and they were mostly of a technical nature. But they kept us from absolutely reassuring the taxpayers that we can account for every dime they entrust to us. And that is absolutely unacceptable. Secretary Paige and I have made it a top priority to straighten out the books and get a clean audit this year.
It's not going to be easy because our old, partially automated financial management system needs too many manual overrides -- remember, that's the same thing that use to cause misrouted and double payments. So, for this year, we put the same kind of fail-safe system in place. Every manual override in accounting will be confirmed by a second person, and the reason for the override will be well documented so the auditors can see what went on and why.
But that's just a stopgap measure. We are installing a new financial management system -- fully automated, one of the best on the market. The part of the system we've already installed tightens control over payments to Guaranty Agencies and gives us faster updates on collections. It's a better system for automated reconciliation too, and it fixes a longstanding problem of tracking guarantor-held defaulted loans and other federal assets. When our new FMS is completely installed this October, at the beginning of FY 2002, we will have, for the first time, a fully automated accounting system that complies with all Federal and general accounting standards.
Another way to win public trust is to never let our customers down. Since we've been a PBO, we have not had a single interruption in service -- even under the pressure of record volumes -- not a single breakdown in the application system, or the Pell Grant system, or loan origination or consolidation. We have kept the trains running on time.
And all the time, we've been innovating -- award-winning web sites like FAFSA and the best e-servicing site for loans in the business, government's first share-in-savings IT contract, middleware already working to integrate and retire old legacy systems, the Schools Portal that completely integrates our services for aid administrators, electronic forms for FFEL, and much, much more. Let me give you an example: Each month, each of the nation's 36 FFEL guarantors had to send us a 3-inch stack of paper reports -- and sent them a 6-inch stack. Compare all that paper to the half dozen Web screens they fill out now. We are in the process of doing the same thing for lenders -- all 4,000 of them. It's a perfect example of how our e-commerce strategy improves service and cuts cost.
Customer satisfaction and morale are up, costs are coming down, and trust is building. Overall, I believe any fair observer would call this PBO experiment a success -- so far. But we face some big challenges. Any businessman can tell you that achieving and maintaining high scores for customer satisfaction takes plenty of ingenuity and hard work. Any government manager can tell you that serving more and more customers without a bigger budget is no small trick either. We have to do it all. I believe we have the right e-commerce strategy, the inspired workers, and the talented management team we need to pull it off. All we need now is your continuing support. My colleagues and I will be happy to answer any questions you may have. Thank you.

South Island grains prices have continued to soften since August as diverging international and domestic fundamentals compete to set a market.
The last NZX Profarmer report put Canterbury feed wheat at an average bid price of $366 per metric tonne, including delivery to nearest store or mill, down from $371 just two weeks prior. This represents a moderate softening, but by no means equates to the crash some might have predicted after a bumper harvest produced an ample supply of all major grains. However, the report says growers will be wary of slow demand from the dairy sector.
This softening is somewhat at odds with fundamentals internationally. The effects from the crippling United States drought on international grain prices have been well publicised, but supply concerns, particularly by wheat and corn traders, continue to support historic highs on the benchmark Chicago Board of Exchange. The latest values for wheat contracts in Chicago have some contracts equating to more than NZ$400 per metric tonne.
Unfavourable weather has also led to supply issues in Europe's Black Sea region. Ukraine has curbed exports to ensure sufficient local supply and there is speculation that Russia, the world's third largest exporter, will also run out of surplus wheat.
New Zealand growers are used to competitively-priced Australian wheat coming into the North Island pig and poultry markets. Frustratingly, while the international rally has increased imported wheat prices, local growers have not seen a corresponding lift in the last two months. This is reportedly due to a perceived domestic oversupply and Australian sorghum imports. Growers hope for a lift in interest from South Island dairy farmers and alignment with global prices to sell any remaining crops.
In addition to finding a home for unsold grain, Federated Farmers North Canterbury Grain spokesperson Murray Rowlands has also emphasised the need for growers with contracted grain still in storage awaiting delivery to be vigilant.
"It's important to keep in contact with the merchant who has bought your contracted grain," Rowlands says. "A downside of the good growing season has been that deliveries have been slow and it pays to be in front of the buyer rather than waiting until January and running the risk that a delivery won't be available when you need the space for the new harvest."
Mr Rowlands said growers wanting to confidentially discuss their situation, should call Federated Farmers on 0800 327 646.

Automated post-compromise infomation gathering
I'm looking for a method to automatically gather system/user information post compromise. I've used DarkOperator's winenumn meterpreter script, but I don't fancy having to stare intently at a box waiting for compromised systems to connect back to by server to initiate info gathering.
More information would always be better, but initially a minimum would be system and username of compromised account for client-side/user awareness suffs. Not too concerned at this point if it is via a (free) framework (metasploit etc) or a standalone solution. I know Assagai is in the pipeline which sounds like it should handle my requirements needs but I haven't seen any release date information yet.
Don't think for a second I'm dealing with anything innovative or unique so I'm wondering how others deal with the same scenario.
Thanks in advance,

Hey Crazy, my turbo is worse off than that one! On mine, there is a 6 as the last part of the number. The rest is up to the past when it wasn't worn because that's all I could get from it.

Re: The "4.9 liter turbocharger, stage 1" thread.
Shit I was hoping to get an accurate number from you. I don't know if you realize/understand how important a compressor map is? I am trying to figure out as accurate as possible the choke/surge line for this turbo on a different motor than intended. Sure it's been done on on the 4.9 motor but to my knowledge wasn't intended for this motor correct?
An ill suited turbo can choke at low rpm and surge at high rpm, I am trying to avoid this for both of our sakes and find a happy medium where the turbo operates most efficiently based on the fact that we're both running two entirely different motors than intended.
I know that it has been done on that Fiero, but I don't see any type of A/F ratio or dyno slips posted a long with it. All I see is one mediocre 12 second 1/4 mile time and subsiquent selling of the motor or a plan to "remove it and put it in storage"
In essense, this really does or says nothing in terms of reliability. All it says is that this guy bolted one on and pushed the peddle on the right to the ground. It says nothing about whether or not it can/will last or that it was done correctly, or that the 12 second run can be replicated.
Shit, I've posted a 12 second run with half the pistons and half the turbo.
What I'm saying is that although this has been done, it doesn't seem to have done correctly, only bolted on and that is easy to do.
Replicating an insanely high dyno or a sub 10 second quarter mile more than once is not, which I'm sure isn't your intention, mine either.

When I get my turbo installed and blow the motor, I'll let you know how it works.

Re: The "4.9 liter turbocharger, stage 1" thread.
lol I'm sure that isn't what you want either. All I meant is that I'm more into the scientific aspect which goes hand in hand with reliablity. If you do it right, it will last. If you do it wrong, you might get one 12 second pass and melt/crack a piston or two. That's the type of situation I am trying to avoid, which I'm sure you are too. All I'm saying is that it would 've been nice to get some accurate A/F ratios/dyno slips with realtime A/F ratio from that guy rather than "I bolted it on, now I'm removing it and selling it" know what I mean?
If you happen to know of any dyno slips with the boost pressure stated, it would help out immensly. I could use it to find out CFM or lbs/min of the turbo based on CID of an N/A engine vs FI with this turbo.
I'll be sure to post when I get some more info. Good luck with your project.

Re: The "4.9 liter turbocharger, stage 1" thread.
So going by your motor which is 4,900cc or roughly 299 cid (not sure what your redline is??)
(299 × say 6000?) ÷ 3456 = 519.10 CFM
The engine will flow 519.10 CFM of air assuming a 100% volumetric efficiency and assuming a common redline of 6K. Most street engines will have an 80-90% VE.
Your 299 cid would flow 441.23 CFM with an 85% VE. A good rule of thumb is that for every 10 hp a gasoline engine makes, it needs roughly a lb of air/min delivered to the intake manifold, so, you'd multiply 441.23 CFM by .07 giving you 30.89 lbs/min and putting your motor at roughly 300 hp naturally aspirated, am I right?
Add in pressure ratio, you said 6-8 psi?
(6 + 14.7) ÷ 14.7 = 1.41:1 pressure ratio. Looking back at the RHC6 chart, you'd be operating on the low end, BUT, I still haven't figured out the density ratio. If you give me your redline and your plans for the motor (how much are you looking to get out of it and at what boost level?) I can figure out where the turbo operates most efficiently.
I still need to come up with a compressor map, but bear with me, I have a lot going on right now.
Re: The "4.9 liter turbocharger, stage 1" thread.
crazy , im a simple redneck type tinkerer ...heres my deal
I want low boost , talking 1-3 psi off the line ....i dont want full boost till 3300 rpm , and i want that boost (7 psi) to stay constant till 5,000 rpm ...
I was useing stupid math myself ...i said hey , this turbo will produce enough to make 7psi at 8,000 rpm in a sr20det ...so it should be good enought o pull 7 psi at 4500 rpm on 5.0 liters (twice the air going thru at half the rpm ?)...
if you want to know what i REALLY want to do ....look no further than the paxtons sitting on 5 liter mustangs
Re: The "4.9 liter turbocharger, stage 1" thread.
My point early on in this thread is with a high compression 4.9L, you DON'T want to make it efficient until high rpm. The high compression and boost will destroy weak pistons like 4.9's have. Be careful. I would recommend not hitting more than 2-3 psi until above 3500-4000 rpm.
Unless you drop the compression I don't feel you will ever have a good running 4.9 Turbo.
Re: The "4.9 liter turbocharger, stage 1" thread.Originally Posted by CallMeCrazy
The redline for the 4.9 liter is 5200 RPM's. As for the amount of boost, I want no more than 6 psi when all is said and done.
Some 4.9 liter engine specs:
200 hp @4100 RPM's,
275 lb/ft @ 3000 RPM's,
Shift points @ 4900 RPM's.
I'll have to dig up the cam profile if it is needed. Let me know.
Basically I would like to add a few hp above the 4100 RPM line, and not let boost come on till about the 2500 RPM line. I'll scan over everything you've supplied and see if I can't do the compressor map myself for my particular turbocharger. But please, feel free to beat me to it...Originally Posted by N0DIH
As for the compression ratio, I've thought about taking the heads off and giving some more room in the combustion chamber area. That should lower it some...

Re: The "4.9 liter turbocharger, stage 1" thread.
alright, so the 5,200 rpm redline changes things a little bit. ( I still need to know the exact CID of your 4.9?)
299 x 5200/3456=449.88 @100% VE which is nearly impossible naturally aspirated.
299 x 5200 x .85/3456 =382.40 @ 85% VE which is more realistic. You CAN however have more than 100% VE with the addition of a well thought out turbo and efficient intercooling.
An 85% VE of 382.40 x .07=26.77 lbs/min
26.77 x 1.41 Pr=37.75 lbs/min under 6 psi of boost. If you give me your compression ratio I can figure out what it would be under 6 psi of boost as well.
Here are some things I still need to figure out a compressor map:
1) What engines came with this turbo?
2) Of those engines, are they ALL turbo charged or are some naturally aspirated?
Assuming that some are naturally aspirated, I need to find out what their CID is and estimated HP and TQ at various rpms. I'll also need the same info for the turbocharged versions as well as how many lbs of boost the turbos run stock? With this info, I can figure out the % difference between the N/A and FI in VE vs HP/TQ in all models and come up with a realistic equationf of how much CFM/lbs/min the turbo must push.
If you guys can find me this info it would help immensly.
Re: The "4.9 liter turbocharger, stage 1" thread.Originally Posted by CallMeCrazy
The exact displacement of the 4.9 liter is 300 cubes. No more, no less. Sorry I didn't post that earlier.
Compression ratio is a concern for this engine: 9.5:1 ratio. I've long thought about lowering it via machining the combustion chamber area on the heads.
As for the turbocharger, it is from the GM diesel 6.5 liter engine. My particular turbo is a GM3 from a '93-'94 Suburban 2500 series that had the turbodiesel engine. As far as I know, those engines were the only ones unber boost. The gas engines used in those autos were the Chevy 350 engine and a 7.4 liter variant. Otherwise, it was the turbodiesel 6.5 liter. The output for this engine was around 190 hp...Not sure at what RPM's though and I cannot find torque rating either.
Let me know if I need that stuff, and I'll attempt to dig it up again.
Re: The "4.9 liter turbocharger, stage 1" thread.
6.5 Liter Indirect EFI V8 Turbo-Diesel (L65)
195 horsepower at 3400 rpm.
430 lb.-ft. of torque at 1800 rpm (automatic).
Re: The "4.9 liter turbocharger, stage 1" thread.Originally Posted by N0DIH
I'm getting this sinking feeling that I have another too-small turbocharger...That's a lot of power at a very low RPM range, huh?

Re: The "4.9 liter turbocharger, stage 1" thread.
Do you happen to know the redline of the 6.5 TD and roughly how many psi?
Re: The "4.9 liter turbocharger, stage 1" thread.Originally Posted by CallMeCrazy
Redline I simply don't know either...Maybe I can dig up a dashboard panel picture from a Suburban or something...Lemme go and see...
Re: The "4.9 liter turbocharger, stage 1" thread.
So far the boost pressure is at 7 psi stock without intercooling for the GM 6.5 liter turbodiesel engines. I still can't find the redline information, but wouldn't it be safe to assume that the redline on these engines is just a few hundred RPM's over base hp ratings? Just a thought.

Tibetan / Vajrayana
Vajrayana Buddhism is most closely associated with Tibet and can be characterized by the figure of the siddha, the master whose spiritual realization is so profound that he or she has power over the phenomenal world, and in whom the profundity and vastness of absolute truth is fully and completely manifested. Many of our most well-known authors come from this tradition of Tibetan Buddhism .

Hi all.
I am up to 4 hives now: one I started from a package in late April, and the other three from swarms caught between late May and last Wednesday. The first swarm from late May seems to be doing OK, not great but adequate. I'm confident that they'll get at least the second deep filled before frost nucs everything in early to mid-October. The second swarm (caught two weeks ago) seems to be doing OK too, and the third swarm (caught a week ago today) is settling in and drawing some comb. Haven't smoked them yet to look for any sort of eggs yet but will in another week or so.
My question is about combining the second and third swarms into one hive to have a bigger force. Since it's relatively late in the season to be catching swarms and getting them built up for overwintering, is it a good time to think about combining them, or do you all generally let them do their thing until fall? I'd like to leave them alone to see which queen is the better of the two but wonder if I somewhat doom them to failure by not combining now. One of them is also a little testy and much more easily pissed off than any of the other three hives, so I'm actually thinking about a re-queen on that hive regardless of whether or not I combine them.
Input is greatly appreciated by this first year newbee.


text: understood 36. adding a frame with eggs will tell you whether or not that queen is still good. if they start making queen cells it means she is no longer viable. if that's the case, you will need drones to get the new queen mated. if it was mites, and if this colony was less resistant than the others, it may not be a good one to raise queens from. i don't blame you for trying, it will be good experience.

Party Recap: Irie Weekend 2011
Playboy made it down to Miami for Irie Weekend. Get the party coverage here!
Miami, at times, can make New York look like Des Moines. Here, beauty and connections are everything, everybody knows everybody and luxury reigns supreme. And, like any playground for the rich, all is amplified when annual events like Art Basel and Ultra come to town. You can add Irie Weekend to that list too. Miami's dedicated club goers and a handful of celebs came together last weekend for three nights of debauchery, and we were there to soak up the scene.
DJ Irie, founder of his namesake event, was described to us more than a few times as the "King of Miami." Sounds like hot air…until you find out Lebron James cut his post-title-loss vacation short to make a surprise appearance and support his friend. Other stars who turned out included athletes Jonathan Vilma and Reggie Bush, Nick Cannon, Flo Rida and the infamous Lil Jon, who gave us the exclusive inside scoop on his new album. "I'm calling it Party Animal," he reveals, "'cause everybody knows me for partying. My moniker has been party animal, so it's gonna be basically all party songs." In collaboration with LMFAO, their forthcoming single "Drink"–not to be confused with the duo's previous club hit "Shots"–will be the first to drop off the album come October. (Jersey Shore fans, get excited.)
The weekend kicked off in style Thursday at Mokai, a hot spot in the bustling Miami nightlife scene, with a party at the Crown Royal Black Lounge hosted by Tracy and Alonzo Mourning. DJ Jazzy Jeff pumped up the crowd with a great set, Miami beauties were out in full effect and the weekend was primed and pumped for a party like few others.
Friday brought the main event. We were treated to a charity golf tournament at Melreese Country Club, which helped raise money for the good folks at Make-A-Wish and the Irie Foundation. Hooters girls served up wings as Lil Jon cruised the course in his custom PT Cruiser golf cart. Later that night, Flo Rida and Irie took over LIV nightclub to a packed house for a Verizon-sponsored event. Irie has been called "Miami's best club DJ" and has deejayed for Playboy events before, but seeing the guy in action is something else. He really gets into it, engages the crowd and brings his oversized personality to the turntables, bringing the party to life as only he can. When Flo Rida arrived and jumped up to greet the crowd, the already pumped audience went wild, keeping their high energy alive well into the morning.
Saturday brought a chance to mingle and relax poolside at Fontainebleau's Arkadia, with a New Era-sponsored party and DJ set by Lil Jon. Nick Cannon kicked it with a cadre of Miami's hottest girls, and righteous New Era swag was had by all. The weekend went out with a bang that night at Arkadia Lounge. Grey Goose and Heineken flowed, a gigantic mascot in the likeness of Lil Jon roamed the club and DJ Irie set off the crowds with yet another explosive set.
As far as Miami goes, it's hard to be impressive when everything is so over the top. But Irie Weekend definitely impressed. The weekend's celebrity-studded events and jam-packed concerts proved that DJ Irie really is the king of this town. Aside from being able to launch his own foundation, Irie admits the best part of the weekend was the cake presentation at the Crown Royal Black Lounge (and we don't blame him). Miami's rock star DJ filled the clubs, all for a great cause, and he made sure everyone had a blast doing it. Must be great to be king.
DJ Irie will be spinning beats across the country and worldwide this summer, so look out for performances in a city near you.

Metro 2033 was something of a surprise for most gamers at the time, bucking many first-person shooter conventions to become something unique; a first-person, post-apocalypic survival game, set in Russia.
The story behind all of this "trying to stay alive, whatever the cost" activity was that nuclear war broke out at the end of 2013 (if you've not been paying attention, that's this year, folks) and, after being bombarded with megatons of nuclear material, the above-ground area in Moscow became a no-go zone for those who liked being alive.
As often happens in nuclear-themed fiction, those that did survive above the surface (and against the odds), mutated into creatures known as Dark Ones. These powerful, hideous creatures weren't the only threat, of course, as protagonist Ayrtom had to negotiate tricky political fallout, too, as the Fourth Reich (a bunch of neo nazi scumbags) and even other Russian survivors made various plays for what little resources remain the post-apocalypse Russian underground system.
The game was well received, earning an impressive 81 on Metacritic, as well as scores of 8.5 (Xbox 360) and 8.6 (PC) on NZGamer.com. Critics liked the duality of using super ammunition as both a powerful weapon and a form of currency, and the story - along with its presentation - was a highlight for most. A common downside brought up by many reviewers was the cumbersome controls, no doubt a result of developer 4A Game's relative inexperience (this was their first title).
That there's a new game in the series, then, should come as welcome news to many. Even if you missed the first game when it released in 2010, what we've seen of the game suggests that it's worthy of your attention. In a market saturated by me-too clones, something different deserve the reward of your interest. To find out more about the game, we sat down with the title's Creative Manager, Jeremy Greiner.
"We kick off in Last Light with you as Artyom," Jeremy explained by way of introduction. "You're now a ranger and you're dealing with the repercussions of the first game. The analogy we use is that if you went into 2033 kinda like that 17 year old kid going to Vietnam, completely unaware and naive (about the world around him and about warfare in general). He's now exited that, scarred internally and externally, a kind of grizzled veteran. The story's a path of understanding, redemption, atonement - those kinds of themes."
Fans of the fiction might know that there's a sequel to the book the first game was based on, too. Called Metro 2034, its story is, however, completely unrelated to the events of Last Light. "4A and Dimitry felt that an alternate story would make for a much better sequel, in a videogame," Jeremy explained. "So that's what they went with."
The story departure isn't the only change made for Last Light, either. There were numerous little issues with the first game that THQ and 4A wanted to address this time around. That said, fans of the original needn't fear wholesale change, as Jeremy explained.
"One thing we didn't want to do was to smooth out all of the rough edges to make it an experience for everyone. Typically what we do in software design is start smoothing out that edge, then that edge, that edge, etc - to make it consumable for everyone. The appeal of this game is those sharp edges; it's the fact that you have to find out where you're going - there's no minimap. It's the fact that you have to do all those different actions - wiping masks, pumping guns - that it doesn't tell you what to do all the time, you have to figure it out for yourself."
So what did they change? "One of the changes was improving what was great in it and fixing issues that make it frustrating. One would be the control mapping in the first game; it wasn't intuitive, and it wasn't communicated well to the player from the beginning. It's now much more intuitive - you can just dive in and go at it, and there's a lot of tooltips that pop up to let you know [how they work]"
"The other would be the AI. Probably one of the biggest gripes in the first game was that one AI bug where, if one person saw you, they all knew where you were. Now there's all different kinds of states in the AI, they all behave differently, and mutant AI is completely different again."
Metro 2033 introduced a new type of currency into videogames; the kind you could decide to fire out of your gun, should you need to. It was a bold and - ultimately - title-defining choice. "In early development," Jeremy told us, "there was a question about whether to do that again. When you look at the scarcity of resources in the game, having your actual ammunition - your means of survival or attack - be your means of survival elsewhere really makes a lot of sense, and users really liked it first go-around."
"That's kinda like what the title says: Last Light. Obviously, that has a lot of meanings - it touches on the light and dark in the game, but also the scarcity of resources, and that Artyom is humanity's last hope. It's interesting that, in this self-imposed post-apocalyptic world of theirs, even though they put themselves in this position, there are still factions; there's communists, the reich, etc, and they still war, kill each other, etc. Even after we've given ourselves the biggest lesson of human history, we still haven't learned from it, we still fall into human nature."
Speaking of human nature... it seems that the trend du-jour is to slap a multiplayer mode onto pretty much every singleplayer game going. Fortunately, THQ didn't fall into this (potentially lucrative, to accountants anyway) trap. "We had a small team prototyping out some multiplayer early on," Jeremy explained, "but after E3 2012, and given all the consumer sentiment - a lot of people just didn't want it - we decided to fold them back into the main team, focus on singleplayer, and deliver on three platforms for the first time."
"Everyone was thrilled it was cut; consumer sentiment - especially for an atmospheric, story-driven shooter - seems to be that [singleplayer] is what they want. It's viewed, if you're expanding the offering, that it's actually taking away from the primary offering"
Something else that was considered was Nintendo's Wii U. That, too, hit the cutting room floor. "There was consideration, they looked into it, but ultimately, it's a smaller studio. This is their first time developing on PS3. It's a natural progression - there's only so much you can wring out of a team without taxing the software."
As PCs and consoles move further and further apart in terms of raw power, the two groups of gamers (those with consoles and those who prefer PCs) both get a little nervous when a new, cross-platform game is announced. While the actual release of the game will be the ultimate line in the sand, Jeremy had some good news for both camps.
"Of all the projects I've ever worked on, this is the easiest as far as porting cross-platform. The engine those guys created - it's called the 4A engine - it ports easily. Literally all they do after they port it over is adjust level of detail (LOD). You might have to down-res a few textures in order to fit within the parameters of the console, but when you do a side-by-side in most areas, it's nearly one-to-one."
"2033 was a benchmark game for PC; if you wanted to test your hardware, see if it would meet its maker, you'd run 2033 on it. Last Light will also be a benchmark title - we're going to be plugging in a lot of DX11 features. PC gamers love this game for good reason; the studio is a PC dev studio."
Despite its singleplayer-only nature, Last Light isn't planned to be a "fire and forget" title for either 4A or THQ. "We'll have a full DLC program," Jeremy explained, "and we'll get the content out as soon as possible. A lot of singleplayer games hit the shelf, and that's about it - but not with this one. I think players want to keep diving down the rabbit hole, so we'll ship out content; there will definitely be DLC."
"It's just growing pains"
Given the current financial problems at THQ, "definitely" might be a stretch here, but on that, too, Jeremy was positive. "When it comes to production costs, the cost that it takes to make a game in Western USA is far different to what it takes to make a game in Kiev, Ukraine. Expectations against this game are extremely realistic; we don't have all our eggs in one basket, this doesn't have to be a miracle."
"It's going to be a solid game. We're marketing it well, there's a full marketing spend behind it, and everyone's cautiously optimistic about the future of THQ. There's been a lot of negative press, and I'm sure there will be a lot more, but I think these are the kind of growing pains you need to go through when you're trying to right the ship."
"You look at our slate coming up - we have Company of Heroes 2, Metro: Last Light, South Park - all three games are super strong. Knowing internally what our unannounced portfolio is... it's incredible. I personally have no worries. It's just growing pains."
The truth of Jeremy's claims, both about the game and THQ's future, are sure to be among the more interesting stories of 2013. Based on what we saw, and on how upbeat the down-to-earth Jeremy was, we think this new Metro could be the light at the end of the tunnel for THQ - hopefully it's not the last.

Hi Jamie!
2 questions for the busy man.
2ndly, from where did you learn about Asian food? Saw you on the telly recently doing satay and peanut sauce. Not exactly authentic but your simplicity excites me to learn more.
Cheers and viva food revolution!
This question is an interesting one moeabdullah , I know that I have learned loads about Indian cooking from people who I used to work with and people who run the local Asian shops in Cardiff where I live , I'm very lucky as I live in a very multi-racial area and so I have lots of people who are happy to help.
It's more cooking methods and learning what goes together that I have been shown as most things are cooked without a recipe book , the recipes being handed down by word of mouth and as such slightly varying as to an actual recipe .
This is also of course as its to suit the availability of ingredients and the western palette .

Re: Ask me a cooking question
New member so go easy on me please in case this has already been asked...........i'm only looking for miracles!
We are a spar/texaco forecourt in N.Ireland which sold the traditional irish stew, sausage roll, curries etc for years out of a henny penny serve over and it worked while the builders were buying but they have now mainly disappeared due to the bad recession here.............count your lucky stars your biz is not here you mainlanders! So we are building a new shop soon and need help in coming up with a new menu which is cost effective and to be eaten on the run so to speak........we are a normal area with "normal" tastes so nothing too wild.....we're in a country area. The wholesalers are brain dead as they just want you to buy something from a book as are the equipment providers.......i think this lack of help is the main reason the big brands are cleaning up in the food to go market.
Ideally it could either be made VERY fast or reheated as our customers will definitely NOT WAIT. I really want to get rid of the serve over as many foods will not keep in it for long which becomes an issue when turnover slows and it always looks great at the start of service and crap at the middle end when things start selling. All our peers have also struggled over the years trying to get a solution for the evening trade and most have failed......anyway, the build is starting in June and hopefully we will be up and running by April next year.........so bright young/old things ..................show me your stuff.....and there are opportunities here for someone who can make a difference

Re: Ask me a cooking question
Dear Mummza,
Cheers for the link post. Next week i surely go crazy posting links.
I had the pleasure of visiting Cardiff some years back. As you said, it is very multi cultured and the food is very diversed. I do agree when you said most of the cooking are done without cookbooks and are handed from one generation to the next. I inherited certain traditional recipes from my aunt and she got it from her mum (my nanna) and my nanna got it from her nanna. It goes back 5 generations and i am probably the last of my fastfood eating generation to have the knowledge and skills. I certainly will pass it to my children or if not my grandkids God willing.
Again thanks for sharing. You made me feel welcomed and at home in this wonderful forum.

Hi there,
a lot of your recipes call for meat to be cooked on high heat whilst coated in paprika.
I am originally from Hungary and we use a lot of paprika in our cooking. My mum has always told me not to leave paprika on the heat for any considerable time as it burns easily and ends up tasting bitter. In fact she always takes the pan off while adding paprika to a dish, lets it dissolve in the hot fat - which is the only substance paprika dissolves in - then lets up with liquid and only then puts it back on the heat. I, myself once coated fish in paprika then fried it in a little oil, by the time it was cooked indeed it tasted bitter and burnt. Totally ruined the fish. This has so far made me avoid all of your dishes that has meat seasoned and cooked in this fashion.
Any tips or thoughts on the subject would be welcome.
Thanks x
Thanks for the tip, that's very interesting. Next time I'm cooking with paprika I'll bear your suggestion in mind and see if I notice a difference!

hi there can you use single cream and creme fraiche together when making a curry
Be careful when using single cream in cooking as it will split if you heat it too high. Creme fraiche is also quite a rich tasting ingredient and might be a little too tangy for a curry. I would recommend you use yoghurt instead.

At one time Angus was called Forfarshire. This was because the county seat is Forfar. However, the county has been renamed. If you are having problems locating your Angus/Forfar ancestor this may be why.
The county's ancient name was Angus, but was renamed Forfarshire to link with Forfar being the county town. More recently, the preference came to be for the ancient name, and it has so remained since. The Victorian censuses you will find labelled Forfarshire, as that was the official name during that period.

Members of the Lobel family present another essential meat cookbook, Lobel's Prime Time Grilling, with recipes like Cowboy Steak with Chipotle Mayonnaise and Grilled Quail with Raspberry-Cranberry Cumberland Sauce
by Stanley, Leon, Evan, Mark and David Lobel
As the nation's leading butchers, the Lobel family is well known as the top authorities on buying and preparing meat by the celebrity customers who frequent their Madison Avenue shop, the media that so often quote them, and their huge mail-order client base (Lobels.com has more than 23,000 members).

This freshly wrapped package includes 30% more information than the first edition, covering recent grilling advances like high-powered gas grills (capable of delivering a perfect char) and new popular cuts of meat, like the king-sized cowboy steak featured on the cover. The special Ask the Butcher features address FAQs, such as how to achieve a perfect grilled steak, while the Smoking Explained section guides readers through low-and-slow cooking with a smoker for mouthwatering ribs, brisket, and even duck. For easy reference, a unique and extensive new chart at the end of the book features at-a-glance butcher's wisdom on all the best cuts of meat for grilling, what size to buy, and how to maximize flavor. In addition, peppering each chapter are scores of helpful hints from the butcher family such as:
With 160 succulent recipes, like Mint-Brushed Lamb Chops and Tuscan-Flavored Split Chicken; a whole chapter devoted to sauces, rubs, and marinades; and an eight-page color recipe insert, Lobel's Prime Time Grilling delivers both the inspiration and the details to help readers make a variety of delicious meals. Complete with straightforward directions and loads of helpful tips, novice grillers will find this a welcome introduction to grilling their favorite meats, while more seasoned cooks will enjoy discovering new tricks, techniques, and recipes gleaned from the Lobels' decades in the butcher business and many, many years of grilling the best meats on the market.
The Lobels are owners of the highly rated Madison Avenue butcher shop, Lobel's Prime Meats, as well as the successful online store, Lobels.com. Stanley Lobel, along with his late brother Leon Lobel, has co-authored nine books and a syndicated column for Gannett Westchester Newspapers and the New York Post.
