Alshare3 is a non-profit media foundation that is licensed in France. Alshare3 Foundation works on a group of media projects and activities inside and outside Syria to defend the freedom of media, by using various media tools. It was founded in February 2010, with a media campaign to support the displaced people from the Northeastern part of Syria, who had to flee their farmlands because of the drought.
This project developed to media campaigns and various activities such as photography galleries and organizing regular visits to camps by journalists. After a year of fieldwork in the Syrian drought camps, the popular uprising began in March 2011. Thus Alshare3 foundation started covering the events and making documentaries. We tried to provide a clear comprehensive coverage of the Syrian events. It was urgently necessary to understand the complexities in Syria under the media siege applied by the Syrian regime. We work with many Syrian, Arabic and international media. Alshare3, also, set partnerships with civil Syrian and international associations to train activists inside Syria and to perform the developmental and cultural projects there where we periodically arrange cultural events. Every March, Alshare3 presents musical and cinema shows, visual arts galleries and construction works in public squares.
Today we make graphic media articles from the event location, such as "exclusion investigation, discussions, reports and documentaries" by a teamwork that is spread in many areas inside Syria. This team includes a group of journalists, filmmakers and activists that are of different categories of the Syrian society.

Renee Swindle is author of Shake Down the Stars, a novel I loved so much I immediately friended her on Facebook and asked if I could interview her.
I'm not the only one who loved it. RT Book Reviews said "This novel is a true gem. Beautifully written, it's full of emotional impact that touches the heart without weighing the reader down. Themes of love, loss and addiction will reach into the soul."
And author Elizabeth Gilbert recently recommended it on her Facebook page.
Renee and I had a great email chat and I found it very inspiring that after writing two novels that didn't sell (after selling her first) she used those experiences to find her voice and work on the novel she was meant to write. I hope you are inspired too!
[pullquote]Looking back, I wrote those two novels while doing my best to sound and write like anyone except me. I'm not sure who I was trying to be—Toni Morrison? Alice Walker? Stephen King?! But writing those two books helped me discover my voice—or come back to my voice, depending on how you look at it. [/pullquote]
Shake Down the Stars is about a parent's worst nightmare happening—the death of a child. Yet, in part because the death happens 5 years before the novel begins, you manage to write very humorously and yet still poignantly about a grieving woman. How did you pull that off?!
I don't know! LOL! I think it helped—immensely—that the daughter's death occurred five years before the start of the novel. In the first draft, the daughter had only passed away the year before, so my idea to incorporate humorous moments wasn't working at all. By starting the novel at a later point in time, the story became more about discovering how the narrator, Piper, would ever find joy again. It became more about how she was dealing with loss, which freed me to use lighter and funnier moments. It did take a few drafts, though, to get the balance just write. Some drafts were too dark and heavy; some were too funny and lighthearted. At any rate, I absolutely love that readers have said they both laughed and cried while reading it. That's exactly what I was aiming for.
You take a lot on in this book—marriage, divorce, fatherless daughters, death and grief, addiction, class and race issues. And yet when I read it I still had that wonderful feeling of hanging out with people I wanted to learn more about and live in their world a little longer, instead of feeling like I was being preached at. How do you think you did that?
Thanks for the nice words. The short answer is that my first two drafts were filled to the brim with preachy, overwritten, crappy chapters! Every time I overreached, though, I'd ask: Are you being honest? Is that what the character would truly say, or is it what you want the character to say? Is this the conversation you want to force on these two characters, or is it the conversation they would truly have in this moment? Honesty saved me from myself time and again.
Your first book Please Please Please was published in 2000. Your latest Shake Down the Stars came out this summer. Everybody knows the industry has changed drastically in the last decade or so. What are the biggest surprises you found publishing your second novel?
Where oh where do I begin?! When you think about it, things like smart phones and Facebook and texting and all the rest didn't even exist in the early 2000s–and I'm pretty sure I was still using dial up on my computer! Anyway, I guess you could say those were the heady days of publishing. I was sent on an eight-city tour that included fancy hotels—and car service! Today, though, it's much more about the bottom line. I also think publishers were willing to take more risks and willing to work with authors more. I don't mean to sound like a downer. Luckily there's social media now to help with promotion, and I was also lucky to sign with an amazing editor.
How was writing your second novel different from writing your first?
I wrote the first draft of Please Please Please while in grad school. It was a terrible draft, but I liked the narrator and wanted to stick with it. Even after it sold, I had to rewrite it at least twice. After it was released, I wrote two more novels (this explains the ten-year delay between books), but my agent couldn't sell either book. Looking back, I wrote those two novels while doing my best to sound and write like anyone except me. I'm not sure who I was trying to be—Toni Morrison? Alice Walker? Stephen King?! But writing those two books helped me discover my voice—or come back to my voice, depending on how you look at it. After writing two books that didn't sell, I basically told myself to forget about trying to be someone else and write the story I wanted to tell in my own voice. After writing those books, I discovered my ability lies in humor and telling a fast-paced narrative—at least I hope so—even if the story is sometimes dark or sad. By the time I started Shake Down the Stars, I knew I wanted to write something that used humor while also telling a compelling story. I wanted to write in a style that felt comfortable and honest instead worrying about proving myself.
[pullquote]Several months went by and one day there was that person [I thought was] imitating ZZ Packer and asking if I wanted to join the writing group she was starting. I thought my cousin was playing a joke on me, but when I called the number—it really was ZZ Packer! [/pullquote]
What's the best writing advice you ever got?
I really like what Ann Lamott says in Bird By Bird: take things one scene at a time. When writing something as big as a novel it helps if I focus on the scene at hand and not worry about word count or whatever. Otherwise, if I start thinking about how much time it takes and all I want to do, I start to freak out. So, for me, writing comes down to one scene at a time. Scene by scene. Chapter by chapter.
Another bit of advice was to read screenplays and books on how to write screenplays. This suggestion was helpful early on when I had no idea how to shape a novel, which often has the same arcs and beats as a movie. That was huge for me. When I first started to write, I didn't know what a scene was, nor did I realize how important tension and conflict were in the development of a scene. Some books I read also noted the importance of shaping the inner conflict and emotional arcs of characters. I started watching for these things when reading other novels and finally started making the connection. I also realized the process of writing didn't have to feel out of my control.
Tell us about The Finish Party. How did it start and how has it helped you (and your sister writers)?
I was broke and wondering if I should give up writing altogether when I received a message from someone claiming to be ZZ Packer on my voice mail. I loved Drinking Coffee Elsewhere and had met ZZ briefly at a reading. Turns out she had read Please Please Please and gave me a hug and was just so nice. Several months went by and one day there was that person imitating ZZ Packer and asking if I wanted to join the writing group she was starting. I thought my cousin was playing a joke on me, but when I called the number—it really was ZZ Packer! I took her phone call and her invitation as a huge sign that I should definitely keep writing and not give up.
Now I pinch myself that I have the luck to be a part of such an amazing group of sister writers (I like that term!). Every time we meet, I'm uplifted by a group of incredibly smart, talented, funny-as-hell women. We eat, we laugh, and at some point, we critique each other's work. I honestly can't believe my luck. (By the way, if anyone wants to know more about our group, just look up The Finish Party and it will link you to an O Magazine article that will tell you more.)
What's next for you?
My next novel, A Pinch Of Ooh La La, comes out summer 2014; I hope to make up for lost time.
Thanks so much for inviting me. I appreciate it.

Alliance Jumps as Tomsk Unit, Repsol Venture Start Gas OutputStephen Bierman
Alliance Oil Co. Ltd., a Russian oil and gas producer traded in Stockholm, rose the most in more than six weeks, after the start of natural gas projects boosted total output.
Alliance climbed as much as 4.6 percent, the biggest intraday gain since Feb. 21, and traded up 4 percent at 53.60 kronor at 12:43 p.m. in Stockholm.
March total output rose to an average 62,304 barrels of oil equivalent a day. That is a 20 percent increase from 51,982 barrels a day in January, the company said in a statement today.
Oil output expanded 2.4 percent to 53,214 barrels a day, while natural gas added 9,090 barrels a day from zero in January, according to a statement.
Repsol SA and Alliance formed the A&R Oil and Gas BV venture this year. In March, the venture announced the start of gas output in Siberia. Separately, Alliance started gas production in Tomsk in February.

The Devil's Paw HTML version
Chapter 17
Julian, on, the morning following his visit to the Prime Minister, was afflicted with a
curious and persistent unrest. He travelled down to the Temple land found Miles Furley
in a room hung with tobacco smoke and redolent of a late night.
"Miles," Julian declared, as the two men shook hands, "I can't rest."
"I am in the same fix," Furley admitted. "I sat here till four o'clock. Phineas Cross came
around, and half-a-dozen of the others. I felt I must talk to them, I must keep on
hammering it out. We're right, Julian. We must be right!"
"It's a ghastly responsibility. I wonder what history will have to say."
"That's the worst of it," Furley groaned. "They'll have a bird's-eye view of the whole
affair, those people who write our requiem or our eulogy. You noticed the Press this
morning? They're all hinting at some great move in the West. It's about in the clubs. Why,
I even heard last night that we were in Ostend. It's all a rig, of course. Stenson wants to
gain time."
"Who opened these negotiations with Freistner?" Julian asked.
"Fenn. He met him at the Geneva Conference, the year before the war. I met him, too, but
I didn't see so much of him. He's a fine fellow, Julian - as unlike the typical German as
any man you ever met."
"He's honest, I suppose?"
"As the day itself," was the confident reply. "He has been in prison twice, you know, for
plain speaking. He is the one man in Germany who has fought the war, tooth and nail,
from the start."
Julian caught his friend by the shoulder.
"Miles," he said, - "straight from the bottom of your heart, mind - you do believe we are
"I have never doubted it."
"You know that we have practically created a revolution - that we have established a
dictatorship? Stenson must obey or face anarchy."
"It is the voice of the people," Furley declared. "I am convinced that we are justified. I am
convinced of the inutility of the prolongation of this war."

Mass. woman files bullying lawsuit against school
BOSTON — A former Concord-Carlisle High School student who says she was mercilessly bullied for a year and a half while administrators ignored her pleas for help has filed a $2 million federal civil rights lawsuit against the towns, the school district and three school officials.
Isabella Hankey alleges in the suit filed Monday the abuse included death threats and crude slurs carved into her car. She says the stress caused her to suffer a pulmonary embolism and finish her senior year elsewhere. The 18-year-old Hankey alleges the bullying was reported to school administrators, but they took no action.
Her lawyer tells The Boston Globe (http://bo.st/15JZJDK [1] ) the suit is one of the first brought since the state's anti-bullying law took effect in May 2010.
The defendants either refused comment or could not be reached.

Back to vegetarian after a few years of WAP and trying to regain a bean repertoire, lol.
Please hit me up with your favorite warm weather bean recipes as I live in the south and it is definately hot hot hot so chili or heavy curries etc. just wont do right now :), thanks so much!
Black bean corn salad with avocado added.
Bean and cheese tacos or burritos.
lentil/rice taco filling
texas caviar
a new one to me we enjoyed--just leave out the chicken. It was surprisingly good for such a simple meal. http://dinnerdujour.org/2010/03/02/red-chile-chicken-and-rice-with-black-beans/
Oooh, thanks for all of those, I dont know why I never think of texas caviar because I really like it ans have a good recipe for it.
Also excited about the lentil and rice taco filling, yum!
My favorite hot weather dinner:
3-4 cups cooked quinoa
1 bunch parsley, chopped in a food processor
1 sprig mint, chopped in a food processor
1/2 red onion, diced
1 clove garlic, crushed
1/2 cup dried fruit (I use a combo of raisins and chopped unsulphured apricots)
1/4 cup chopped roasted almonds
2 cans chickpeas, rinsed and drained
Fresh ground pepper
Juice of one lemon
2 TBS olive oil
1/2 tsp salt
I usually make this first thing in the AM so that it is cold and ready to eat at dinner time.
mmmm, that is right up my alley, I grow my own herbs and am always looking to throw them in everything :)
I often serve it with hummus, cucumber, melon and pita or lavash.
My suggestion is similar to Catnip's... it's a tabouli-esqe salad made with quinoa instead of bulgar and with added chickpeas. So... quinoa, chickpeas, tomatoes, cucumbers, red onions, and parsley tossed with a dressing made of olive oil, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, crushed garlic, salt and pepper. Yum.

I forgot to post a link to my other favorite! Quinoa salad with black beans and mango. Super yum!

one of the mamas behind BeanTreeBaby.com ...Gear for Growing Families!
omg, I am getting hungry, it is to close to dinner to reading all these yummy ideas. I love the idea of using the quinoa instead of bulgur for the tabbouleh and then of course that black bean mango quinoa is going on the menu for tomorow cause I have all of the ingredients and an overactive cilantro patch, lol...
And I liked how the guy who posted the recipe for the black bean mango salad said that you could think of it more as an idea than a discipline...I will use that to mix and match things to make cold grain salads for the old mans lunch box he will likey.
We love this recipe later in the summer when the tomatoes are plentiful. It's basically roasted tomatoes and onions on good bread with white beans.

The Marshall County Commissioners and the Marshall County Council met in joint session Monday morning to discuss the possibility of refinancing the bonds the county took out when the Marshall County Jail was built back in 2006.
The bond for the jail project was roughly $15 million in 2006 and $11 million is still outstanding. The county is hoping to lower their payment of $1.2 million per year until 2026.
Todd Samuelson from Umbaugh and Associates brought two options for the members to discuss and a hybrid of the two was an option the members agreed that might work for them.
The members discussed their caution in moving forward as there could be a need to expand the jail. Sheriff Tom Chamberlin explained to the governing bodies that he will not know how the legislative changes will affect the population at the jail until about a year or so into the process. The new law that would place lower felony offenders into local facilities or take part in programs like community corrections to keep down the population within the Department of Corrections could affect future operations at the jail. The new law, which takes affect July 1, will not affect prisoners already in the facility, just new offenders.
Sheriff Chamberlin said the population has gone down thanks to the partnership of the courts to move inmates through the system. He said there were 132 prisoners in the jail as of Monday morning.
Samuelson said that it might be wise for the board members to not wait to take advantage of the interest rates as they are lower now than what they were in 2006.
"The decision that they've made is to move forward with the refinancing to reduce their payments each year and to have the flexibility to keep the funds in reserve to either pay the bonds off sooner down the road or to apply those funds to perhaps some additional capacity or operational costs that may occur because of this legislative change or other changes that we're not even aware of at this point," said Samuelson.
All of the council and commission members both approved motions to move forward.
Both entities will be discussing the CAGIT fund as they move forward with this process as that money is affected by the bond.

Cupped-n-Committed wrote:The average shot quoted by bowhunting surveys was said to be about 10 yards. At 300 FPS you can just about shoot any weight arrow you want and have killing KE. I like to go heavy as at 15 yards I gets lots of KE and little drop off.
Do you actually shoot 40 to 50 yards with your bow? Every guy I have ever talked to shooting those yardages has wouded deer from string jumps and just deer moving at the shot release.
I am lucky. I make all my own bows and arrows. I like to make deflexed bows that only have 10 pounds or less at brace height. That leaves very little energy left in the bow for noise. I do not use string silencer and have still had people comment on how quite my bows are. The only thing animal hear is the arrow hitting the ground. plus my bows only weight about 4 or 5 ounces.
Although I do a few arrows with high fletching for very close shots as they stabilize the arrow from archers paradox very fast. My bows are old shool and are not center shot like compound risers are design now.
ive shot them out to around 37 yds (even though i would prefer a 15 or 20 lol). but i know if i needed to make a 40 or 45 yd. shot i could. i shoot compound not recurve. some of the guys i hunt with have made out to 52 yd shots on deer. they've also missed 50 yd. shots. then again, i know people who have missed 12 yd. shots. there is a trick to long distance shots. first of all you have to be just as comfortable at 40 yd as you are at 20. and if the animal suspects somethings up or is moving DONT MAKE THE SHOT. at 50 yds. a spooked deer can jump even the fastest bow. as far as silencers, they are a must on my setup. especially long shots. you need that quiet shot. hats off to the recurve shooters. theres something about a more primitive bow that makes a kill even that much more rewarding.

Latest update May 24th, 2017 12:55 AM
HPS internet order…
The recent order by Head of the Presidential Secretariat, Dr Roger Luncheon, that the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) advertise through the internet rather than in the local press was high on the agenda yesterday when GECOM's Chairman, Dr Steve Surujbally and Commissioners of the body met.
The meeting was held at the GECOM's High Street, Kingston, Georgetown, office.
Some members of the media were able to solicit comments from a few of the commissioners ahead of the closed-door forum.
Speaking on the matters of concern to GECOM yesterday, Commissioner Moen McDoom revealed that although GECOM is an autonomous body it is somewhat constrained by the fact that it is funded by Central Government.
Last week, the independence of the organisation came into question when Dr Luncheon, the Cabinet Secretary, ordered that GECOM stop advertising in the local press. He further ordered that GECOM advertise through the electronic system. Dr Surujbally has since objected to the order. He is contending that most of the people to whom the advertisement is directed do not have access to the internet.
According to McDoom, being a budgeted entity, GECOM is governed by certain legalities. He nonetheless contended that should GECOM seek to utilise merely the internet for advertising purposes its operation could be severely impacted.
"For instance, if we are going to hire people to do work…I don't know how the internet could work because quite a lot of people don't have access to the internet and computers and what have you. If it is a constitutional matter we are entitled to advertise in the local media."
Against this background, McDoom noted that the remarks uttered by Dr Luncheon must be clearly interpreted at some point. He said that over the past years the Commission hadn't any problems of such nature during the run-up to elections.
"This time we are hearing the new trend about advertising through the internet…"
Another Commissioner, Robert Williams, asserted that the pronouncement by the Head of the Presidential Secretariat is, in fact, a very serious affair thus the need for some urgent decisions to be made in keeping with what is best for GECOM.
And in making decisions, Williams added that efforts must be made to take into consideration what is best suited for the Commission even as it relates to the ordinary investor, supplier and the public in terms of transparency in the procurement process. "Today is the first opportunity we will get to discuss the issue in detail on the question of placing ads in the media regarding GECOM's activities…The Commission is always concern over payments legitimately negotiated and obtained for goods and services supplied for GECOM."
And according to Williams, the process and the procedures for such engagement for GECOM are very clear.
"On each occasion as far as I understand the National Tender Board has been involved in such matters and therefore Cabinet also has to issue a no-objection, and if there is a problem, GECOM needs to be advised exactly what the problem is. Failing this, once the National Tender Board and Cabinet issue a no-objective, the procurement is legitimate and must be undertaken."
And given the level of literacy and the limited access to the internet by the populace, Williams said that there should be no directive ordering an independent GECOM to restrict its awareness mechanism.
"I do not have access to my own computer, therefore, at my level I am in no position to see the advertisement and the information or the public awareness that is being sent out for GECOM, so what about some of the other people in society."
As a result, Williams added that it is imperative that GECOM strive to reach the people in society at the best possible means accessible to them. He suggested that newspapers and the radio station are two of the best means, especially in areas where the television is not accessible.
And though Commissioner Charles Corbin, up to early afternoon, had not personally seen Dr Luncheon's directive, he noted that there are currently a number of issues that are engaging the Commission with respect to the execution of its task.
Among the issues that have been addressed is the matter of public education. And according to Corbin, "we have been assured by the CEO that he has the appropriate funds to execute our public education programme…"
This disclosure, he said, has come on the heels of concerns that were raised over reports that GECOM must restrict its awareness efforts to the internet. "We have been assured by the CEO and we now have written communication from Dr Luncheon which says that our constitutional mandate will not be impaired. This means that we can place our public education programme in the press; that is the understanding that this Commissioner has," Corbin added.
In amplifying his concerns yesterday, too, Commissioner Vincent Alexander asserted that "once GECOM continues to be a budget agency there will always be the concern about its independence." He further expressed his conviction that since GECOM is a budget agency, its operations in essence clashes with the basis of the constitution.
"Therefore that provision in itself is what opens GECOM to interference," Alexander added. He theorised that some mechanism be put in place for the parliament to vote, thereby allowing agencies like GECOM to spend monies allocated to them without reference or deference to the executives.
Concerns were also raised yesterday about GECOM's failure to pay for goods and services already utilised, a situation which was expected to take prominence at yesterday's meeting. "This again has to do with interference. GECOM has entered into contracts and is obligated as far as I am concerned to pay those people but the fact that GECOM has to go through some so-called Minister or Ministry is what interferes with GECOM meeting its obligation," Alexander passionately related yesterday.
And one of the most glaring cases of interference, he disclosed, is GECOM's failure to pay for its rental of the K. P. Thomas building. "I don't know what problems the government has with K. P. Thomas, but it is clear GECOM entered into a contract, undertook to pay, and owes the man…"

ok, I gotta ask... what is the deal with the bowtie? is it the newer version of the old SBC 400? to my understanding, acquiring a 400 SBC is almost impossible... i see pretty good deals for the 400 bowtie block but weary about pursuing it which is why i elected to build the 383 stroker. are there any advantages/disadvantages to this block. thus far, not too many people I talked to know about this motor.
the bowtie block is chevrolet's version of an aftermarket performance block. they can be made for anywhere from a 350hp rating all the way up to a 700hp rating in the SBC. but personaly if i were thinking about going with an aftermarket performance block i think that i would buy a DART SHP block and i wouldn't go with just a 400ci motor, i would end up buying a 3.875" crank and build a 415 (standard 4.125" bore, 421 @ 4.155") or since these blocks come pretty much ready to use at standard bore and only need to be honed to what the piston diameter is then i would probabaly go with a 4.000" crank and build a 428 (standard 4.125" bore, 434 @ 4.155") other wise i wouldn't waste the money on an aftermarket block, most people who buy them do it because they are capable of holding alot more hp/tq and mainy that they can stroke them out farther than you can stroke a stock block out. they can also be bored out father than your typical gm 400 block, a typical 400 block really shouldn't be bored out father than .040 but some push the limit by boring them up to .060 but i wouldn't recomend this, i've heard of these aftermarket blocks being bored out as much as 4.250" with a 4.000" crank creating a 454sbc. the bowtie block is good but just like everything else with the chevrolet emblem on it you're gonna pay for, and i've not heard of them doing what the DART or World aftermarket blocks are doing as far as hp/tq numbers and stroke and bore combinations.
chevrolet has come out with heads with the bow-tie emblem on them to, they perform ok, but todays aftermarket head manufacturers out perform them all day lone. last year i bought a set of L-84 (i think thats what they were) with tiatanium vales, and bookoo machine work done to them, they came off a circle track motor. i bought them for 300.00, took the valves out and springs out, sold them for 950.00 then sold the castings for another 200.00, that is what paid for the heads i have on my motor now.
very insightful, i've read alot about the dart SBC components... i'm curious to know how do you calculate displacement from from the type of crank used? in your last post about the 400ci SBC, said you would rather use a 3.875" and make a 415 (4.125 bore, 421 @ 4.155) I know the bore is the size of the diameter, but is the 4.155" the rod length? next, when choosing a cam and carburetor for your set up what are the critical things one must consider/know? for starters, lets say i want to build a 400-500 hp 350ci with 210 heads. how would i go about choosing the right carb and cam?secondly, it wouldn't be wise for me to put that power house you constructed for me in a convertible. with that being said, i'm going to construct a more milder 383 based of all of the teaching's you bestowed on me thus far and send it to you so you can let me know what you think.
ok for the 3.875" stroke crank in a 4.125" (4.125" is the standard diameter of a 400ci sbc cylinder) bore you would get a 415ci motor, most people know this motor as a 421ci motor because you normally see it with a 4.155" ( a standard 400ci sbc bored .030"/ 4.125+.030=4.155"). and for the 4.000" crank it is the same idea. typically you hear of them with a 4.155" bore which makes a 434ci sbc (sbc = small block chevy) but if it was only a 4.125" bore is would be about a 428ci sbc. the reason you would only need to have the bore 4.125 is because it is a brand new block but if you were trying to do this to a used block you would end up needing to bore it out, and stroker clearance it, but neither of these two stroker cranks is recomneded in a GM production 400 block, only in an aftermarket block. as far as rod diamete goes, a stock 400 uses a 5.565" rod but most will tell you not to use these in performance build a stock 350 has a 5.7" rod these can be used but i would still recomend going after a set of aftermarket rods, then you have the 6.0" rod these are typically for high hp motors, but honestly they aren't needed untill you get up into say 600+hp, but if i were building one of the strokers i menitoned above i would probably use a 6.0" rod and then compressate it with a shorter compression height of the piston. compression height of a piston is the measurement from wrist pin of the piston ( where the connecting rod connects to the piston) to the top of the piston. all of this goes into account when you caluculating your stack. stack is the center of the crank, we'll use a standard 350 for this so a 350 crank is a 3.48" stroke crank but you have to find the throw of the crank from the center of the crank which is 3.48 devided by 2 = 1.74" now you take the measurement of the rods which are 5.7", so 5.7+1.74= 7.44" now you take the measurement of the compression height which a standard 350 piston is 1.560", 1.560 + 7.44 = 9.000" a standard small block chevy measures 9.025" from the center of the crank to the top of the block so you would now take 9.025-9.000= .025" this would tell you how far down in the whole the piston will be once it reaches TDC (top dead center, piston all the way up in the cylinder) once you go to a 3.75" stroke ( to make a 383) now take 3.75/2=1.875" + 5.7= 7.575" and if you where to put a standard 350 piston in there you would add 7.575+1.560= 9.135" but a small block is only 9.025" so this can't be done. now you would need to go with a shorter compression height pistons, say 1.433" so now take 7.575+1.433= 9.008" now take 9.025"-9.008= .017 that your piston would be down in the whole @ TDC. so know do you understand the compression height, and stroker idea.
i think your idea of going with a mild 383 is good, but 400-500hp is a broad range, a 383 making 400hp will be a bery street friendly motor, but a 383 making 500hp would not be so street friendly, but like the one i have it can be done, and is done all the time.
now for the heads, you menton using 210cc heads for a 350 making 400-500hp, like i mentioned before this is very broad range, if i were building a 350 for 400hp i would use a good set of 170cc intake runner heads, but if i were building a 350 for 450hp i would likely use a 190-200cc heads, and if i were building a 350 for 500hp i would use 210cc+ heads
now for a carb, we will use the 350 again, if i were building a 350 to turn 5500-6000rpm i would use a 650cfm vac sec carb, if i were building it to run 6000-6500 i would use a 750cfm manual sec carb, if i were building it for 7000+rpm i would likely use a 800+cfm man sec carb. for a 383 turning less than 6500rpm i would use a 750cfm man sec carb but if it were on the high side of that range say 6500 +/- 100-200 rpm i would probably use a 850cfm carb
as for a cam, this is very general and can be argued but your advertised duration is what will tell you what the high side of the rpm range the cam is capable of like 6000-6500rpm, but the duration @ .050 will tell you when the cam starts making its power like 2500-3000rpm, and this is also where you will figure out what kind of stall you will need to run as you want you stall speed to be about 500rpm higher than the rpm your cam kicks in so say you have a cam that kicks in at 3000 rpm then you will want about a 3500 stall. another thing about cams is that all maufauctures use the 350ci motor as their reference when they list the rpm range of the cam, so a 3000-6000 rpm listed cam in a 383 will acutally run more in the range of 2600-5600rpm, in 400 it would run more like a 2400-5400 cam, so you have to keep that in mind as well when you are picking out a cam for something larger than a 350. but say you were building a 327 motor then that 3000-6000 cam act more like a 3400-6400 cam. get it. you also have to be aware of what compression you want to run when picking a cam as a cam with more duration @ .050 has more over lap, and will bleed off cylinder pressure, so you would have to have more compression the higher you go up in duration @ 050.
put some parts together that you thing would work for a 383 and send them to me and i will analyze them and tell you what i think and where you are going wrong
ok here it is... it's perfect but i need to see where i'm going wrong before i start getting too technical.
short block:
-item #CMB350HL-040
- I chose this block because it's fresh pretty much ready to go with all machining and stroker clearances done.
rotating assembly:
-item #350F40
-balanced 383 flat-top 2 pc rms .40 over 4 relief valves
-what's the difference/advantage between the 2 and 4 relief valves?
-item #AFR1040
-195cc/65cc angle plug
-what the difference between angle and straight plugs?
-item #CL110971
-hyd flat tappet
-lift .470/.470
-duration @ .50 .236/.236
-adv. duration .302/.302
-lobe center 108
-is advanced duration the max for that particular cam?
-for lobe center, how does it angle affect combustion? also, is lobe separation the space between each lobe?
-650 cfm
-electric choke
-what are the advantages of man/elec choke?
-item #52020
-6500 max rpm's
-dual plane
-it didn't state the rpm's for the cam but I figured i'd run a 3500-4000 stall to be on the safe side...

okay here we go, i would recomend not going after an block out of a warehouse, i when you get home i would lolk on craigslist and your local classifieds for a 1 peice rear main seal block a block that is a roller block say 1987 and newer so you can run a OEM style roller cam and lifters, even though you will need to get it machined you will end up spending less money, and i would never pay 1100 for a block that is already bored .040 over.
the rotating assembly you listed is for a standard 350 not a 383, the crank in the kit you listed is a 3.48" stroke crank you are looking for a 3.75" stroke crank, look into scat for one of their nodular steel kits, scat is the best you can buy as far as steel and iron cranks go, that is untill you get up into forged cranks, i dont think you need forged.
a typicall 2 valve relief piston has a negitive 4cc valve relief notches cut into the top of the piston, a 4 valve relief typically has about a negitive 7cc valve relief cut into the pistons, i would look more for a negitive 18cc D dished piston, not a flat top for your application if you want to run pump gas, the -18cc will put your compression around 9.6:1 look for a rotating kit that uses keith black hyperuertic pistons, eagle also makes good nodular steel 383 kit, and i know that most of their kits use the KB pistons.
the heads you picked are good but stay away from angle plug heads you want straight plug heads, and angle plug head makes it hard to run a large primary header due to clearance issues.
as far as your cam, the duration @ .050 is pretty good with 236/236 and it was a smart move going with a single pattern cam cause the AFR heads flow very well on the exhust so the added duration from a dual pattern cam is not not needed but you will want to run headers with atleast 1 3/4" primaries so you can get that exhaust flow to the exhust pipes. but i would like to see you use a roller cam, they are far more durable and you will get a lot more lift out of one, the heads you picked will due better with cam that has atleast .525-.560" lift.
i would recomend a holley 4779 750 double pumper carburator, the 670 might do but since you plan on running this up to atleast 6000rpm i think a 750 would be better and you will get better performance out of a double pumper than you would with a carb that has vacuum secondaries.
the stall you mentioned is a little high you would want to go with about a 2800-3000 stall, remember that you need to look at the recomended rpm range for the cam, i had to go to summit to look up this specific cam to find it but it's 2500-6300, but with a 383 the extra cubes will eat some of the range up so it will act much more like a 2200-6000 cam so remember that you want you stall speed to be about 500 or so rpm above your cams rpm range
this is something like the rotating kit that you are looking for, yo should be able to find one just like this from scat, but remeber you will need to buy the block before and take it to a machinest before you buy the rotating kit so he can tell you what size pistons to get, then you buy the kit, take the pistons to him and have him size the bore to what the pistons are as not all pistons are of exact equal size, example not all 4.030 pistons are the same exact diameter, some piston manufactures recomend different piston to cylinder way clearances so the cylinders will have to be matched to the piston, it can't be dont the other way around ( i guess it could but it wouldn't be smart)
I agree that a used 87'-later 350 is the cheaper route, but I figured that if i go through a reputable dealer the I should be good and less work; basically assembly ready motor is the route i was aiming for.
-I looked on summit (which is awesome)at those KB pistons but couldn't find one (-) displacement, is normal? as they were all (+).
-the single plane was unintentional but I learned something.
-as far rockers, I've seen kits with 1.5 and 1.6. is this normal? and what is the advantage of having different rocker sizes?
- i know that .600 is max lift and it is suggested that you stay at least .020 below, with that being said, how do you set the springs and measure lift/height?
-what the difference between having a electric choke vs. a manual?
-what are vacuum, secondaries?
***thanks for all the insight...
these are the pistons you want, i think the ones on summit are the same thing they just have a typo, KB135040 are the exact pstons i am running in my 500+hp 385 mid 11 sec car, but i have had my heads milled .040 to take the combustion chambers from 64cc to 58cc to raise my compression
the difference between 1.5 rockers and 1.6 rockers is that 1.5 rockers are standard small block rockers and all cam maufacturers list their cam lift under a 1.5 rocker ratio, but a 1.6 rocker ratio is 1.0666 X the ratio of the 1.5 rocker, so you get more lift. example take a .500" lift cam and put 1.6 rockers with it and you will end up with a .533" lift, since i have a very good flowing set of heads and they have great exhuast flow as well as i'm using a dual pattern cam i use 1.6 rockers on the intake and 1.5 rockers on the exhuast, the cam i use is .525" so my acutal cam lift is int= .560", exhaust= .525". if i were running a stock or slightly modified stock head i would use the 1.6 rockers on the exhaust side as well.
if you buy heads already assembled then you wont have to put the springs in, but the way you would meausre how much clearance you have in your springs while the cam is at full lift would be to turn the crank untill the cam is at full lift, then take a feeler gauge and check how much space you have between your coils, you're safe at .010" as long as the coils dont get so supress that they bind.
as far as carburators go, i'm a holley man so i will tell you about them, an electric choke carb has an external part that electriclly closes the primary butterfly so you don't have to worry about it, these are good for regualer street use, a vacuum secondary is just how it sounds, there is a vacuum line comming from the intake manifold that hooks into the dristributor for the vacuum advance, but it also T's off and hooks to the carb so that when the rpms are raise the motor makes more vacuum and this tells the carburator to open up the secondary butterflies beacuse the motor needs more fuel and air, a manual secondary carb has a linkage that hooks from the primary butterflies and when the primary butterfly opens so far due to the throttle being pushed in farther then it manually opens the secondary butterflies cause the motor needs more and fuel to run the higher rpms. vacuum secondary carbs are great for street use and saving fuel, but they dont make them in a true double pumper so they dont make great high hp/ racing carburators, this is why most all racers go with a manuall secondary carb like the 4779 750cfm holley double pumper, this is what i have. the double pumper means that not only does it have a dual feed line (vac sec carbs can have dual feed lines as well but they are not double pumpers) but it also has an accelorator pump (50cc) in the rear bowl and one (30cc) in the front bowl. you can put a trick kit on a carb and put a 50cc in the front as well.
as far as an assembly ready motor, there is no such thing the motor you were looking at will still need to go to the machine shop with the pistons to get honed to the correct size for the pistons, remember what i told you about that. you will spend less money buying a used block and having the machinest take care of it for you, you should be able to find an old roller block for around 100.00 then take it to the machinest, get him to tell you what it needs to be cleaned up, buy the pistons for that, take him the pistons, crank, and rods have him put new cam bearings and freeze plugs in it, bore, bake and glaze it, possibley deck it, and then he can balance the rotating assembly, all this machine work should cost you less than 700.00, 800.00 if you include the price of the block, plus you will have had the rotating assebly balanced. but if you buy the motor you were talking about you will still pay 200-300.00 the rotating assembly to be balanced and you will pay another 100-150 to have the bores honed to the pistons, so now with a 1100.00 block + 150.00 + 250.00 = 1500.00 that is twice as much, i can almost have the short block (block and rotating assembly) put together for that. and also like i mentioned before i would never pay 1100.00 for a block that is already .040 over cuase the possibility of it being rebuilt later is minimal as another .020" (to equal .060") over may not clean the bore up and you should never go more than .060" over on a standard block. i hope this makes sence, i would seriously stay away from a $1100.00 .040" block, serioulsy
ok, sounds good. thanks for the insight/tips as all ways...
I will stay away from pre-bored blocks. I think i have the knowledge to put a better combination together for next post as I am en-route back to the states (3 weeks left) and i'm excited about putting together my first SBC. all the post have been truly insightful. I have never learned so much in a short a mount of time about a SBC as I have here over the last couple weeks... so thanks. like i said, my next post will better defined for my pending application...
like everything from area to area, machine shop costs are different, here where i live i can have the block completely preped for rebuild for about 500.00 then the balanceing is usually 200.00, and these guys come well recomended by the majority of racers in this area. we have a few machine shops right in town but i drive about 40miles or so just to go to this one. and i have never heard of a block not having to be honed for the pistons, as not all pistons are exacatlly the same in diameter even when it comes to buying one brand of .040 pistons to another brand of .040 pistons.
AP you're telling me that you would pay 1100.00 and then another 100.00 to have it shipped to a local parcel warehouse for a block that was already bored .040, i haven't looked into what the cylinder wall thickness of these blocks are or if there is anythng specail about them, i'm pretty much taking them as a standard GM block that has been bored .040" with new freeze plugs and cam bearings in them. but honestly would you pay that for one of these
okay shoot it over when you're ready

Brazil has just unveiled its mascot for the 2014 World Cup - and in true mascot tradition, its one that has absolutely nothing to do with football.
It's called 'Fuleco', and is a three-banded armadillo who is meant to raise awareness of environmental issues. You know, as opposed to raising awareness of the world's best football tournament.
Still, Fuleco is relatively sane and sensible compared to some of the mascots seen in sport. Here's our pick of some of the weirdest.
Wenlock and Mandeville - London 2012 was an absolute triumph for almost everybody involved. Conspicuous among the few failures, however, were Wenlock and Mandeville, the one-eyed twins who are perhaps the strangest sporting mascots ever seen. The piles of Wenlock and Mandeville cuddly toys and pencil cases still on sale in supermarkets and toy shops across the country (now at bargain prices) says it all.
Athena and Phevos - The Greeks might be a bit hard up, but you would think they could have done better than Athena and Phevos for the 2004 Olympics.
Waldi the dog - The fun-loving dachshund from the Munich 1972 Olympics was rubbish at the time but now actually has a certain retro cool.
World Cup Willie - Here is a German fan waving a cardboard cut-out of the first World Cup mascot from 1966.
Ciao / Goleo VI - Ciao (left) was a bit abstract, but the Italia '90 mascot was a sight better than Goleo from the 2006 World Cup (right). Some Germans moaned because lions have English and Dutch connotations. Others complained it was obviously just a man in a lion suit.
Timber Jim - The Portland Timbers legend was a lunatic lumberjack who celebrated goals by firing up his chainsaw and cutting from a log. As you do.
Paisley Panda - St Mirren's mangy bamboo-gobbler was sacked in 2003 after pretending to use a Falkirk shirt as toilet paper. He had previously gestured to Queen of the South fans with an inflatable sheep, danced in front of Morton fans with a banjo and playing the theme from Deliverance and disrupted Morton's warm-up by diving Klinsmann-style into a puddle of muddy water.
Sausages - These sausages race at the end of the sixth inning in every Milwaukeee Brewers home game. On one occasion, an opposing player attacked the Italian sausage with his bat.
Mr Testicles - We genuinely couldn't have made this one up: some poor sap at Everton is made to dress up as a pair of gonads (with cartoon eyes and mouth, naturally) in order to raise awareness of testicular cancer. A job that is, quite literally, b******s.
Gunnersaurus - Rumour has it Arsene Wenger is considering flogging the venerable old dinosaur to Barcelona and replacing him with a younger version.
Sammy the Tammy - The Dunfermline Atheltic mascot was rapped on the knuckles this year after he attempted to sledge down one of the stands at East End Park and veered off course.
Rally Monkey - This monkey was shown on the Anaheim Angels' big-screen TV during numerous come-from-behind wins when the Angels won the 2002 World Series.
Philly Phanatic - One of America's best-known figures of fun meets the Philadelphia Phillies' mascot.
Stanford Tree - One of the USA's most prestigious universities genuinely uses a bloke dressed as a tree as a mascot.

Each candidate for Leader Certification will be expected to practice co-leading a small portion of one of the ten Florida MAPP GPS meetings. Constructive feedback is provided. Materials provided include the Florida MAPP Group Preparation and Selection Program Leaders Guide, Implementation Guide, Prospective Parent Participant Materials, Power Point Presentation, and Video Tape Presentations.

Rep. Ezzell to seek re-election
A fifth-generation New Mexican, Rep. Candy Spence Ezzell, R-Roswell, a rancher and an advocate of agricultural issues, says [auth] she is seeking re-election to her House District 58 seat. She has served as a state House representative since 2005.
Ezzell called for controlling and downsizing government, both municipally and statewide, so as not to infringe on individuals' everyday lives. She said the state's current regulations are too strict. "Business owners can't even take care of business because of all the rules and regulations, forms, paperwork and everything else that goes along with it," Ezzell said. She listed the EPA as a proponent of this type of overregulation. "I want clean air and clean water just like everybody else does, but they're going a little bit overboard especially in the economic times that we've been having," Ezzell said. She cited, as example, a time, when she visited with the home economics teacher at Roswell High. The EPA had shut down the school's home economics kitchen because the items the students were making were not inspected. "That's just wasteful in my opinion," she said.
Ezzell indicated her support of providing tax incentives for new businesses coming to New Mexico. "We need to make sure the workforce in the state of New Mexico is viable. It's not going to be (the) government that provides jobs. In the long run with government creating jobs we're actually paying for it," she said. Ezzell called for an overhaul of the state's tax system. She said the state particularly needs to reform areas of double taxation. Some years ago, Ezzell carried a bill, which she worked on with Senate President Pro Tem Tim Jennings, D-Roswell, to combat this issue. The bill did effectively pass the Legislature. "A wholesale company was paying taxes on products that they were getting from another state and then having to turn around and pay taxes on it again. There seems to be a double standard there. The penalties that were assessed with this were unbelievable."
A member of the New Mexico Cattle Growers Association and a local 4H leader, among other involvement in agricultural organizations, Ezzell said, "I try to promote the agricultural industry every chance I get. If you eat you're involved in agriculture." She listed water use as a rising problem affecting this industry. Given the drought cattle numbers have hugely declined statewide. At her own ranch, where Ezzell and her husband raise beef cattle, the number of cows has decreased from 380 to 50. "We cannot use our water for speculation. It's the livelihood of our area. It's not just for farmers and ranchers. It's for our municipalities and it is for businesses also," she said.
As for education, Ezzell is in favor of banning social promotion. She said the key to student success depends on parental involvement. "Small schools are the schools that are succeeding right now mainly because our parents get involved in these smaller schools. … Take the time. They're your children. They're not the government's kids," she said. Indicating the need to revamp the state's entire educational system, Ezzell said, "In 2006, I believe, New Mexico ranked number one in the nation as far as the amount of money per capita that we put towards our students and we ranked 49th in what we turned out. I'm tired of those statistics."
Ezzell and her husband Calder have two children; Robert and Kathleen.

This morning on my way to drop off my other car at the shop, my buddy drove my truck whilst I drove the project car. As I stepped back into mine, my buddy said that something wasn't quite right with the truck. At first I noticed the 'Traction Control' light and the 'Service Engine' light continuously on. I turned the truck off, then turned it back on. The truck turned over in an odd way though...it was as if it (the ignition itself) almost took over the starting process (kinda hard to explain...I think there were Pixies in the ignition). He said take off slow, let it coast. I did that and when the truck switched to the next gear, the whole truck jolted (kinda like when you switch the 'shift firmness' option to 'on' with the Hypertech programmer except much harder). If that wasn't weird enough, the DIC kept switching back and forth from 'Service Stabilitrak' to 'Service Traction Control'. Odd. But here's where it really gets strange; there were no RPM's reading...the gauge was stuck at zero! When we got back to the neighborhood, I turned the truck off, locked the doors, and set the alarm as if I were walking away from it, but I was still inside. Unlocked the doors and started it. Everything was back to normal except the 'Service Engine' light remains on...must have hit a hard code there.
Glad this happened today as I am taking off to Oregon in a couple weeks for vacation...would hate to get stuck in some podunk town like Boise, ID.
Of course, it's still under warranty; I'll let the professionals figure out what's wrong with it.

Talk Nation Radio: Hidden History of the War on Iraq and Its Oil
Greg Muttitt, visiting from the U.K., is the author of a new book on Iraq that is making a lot of news. It's called Fuel on the Fire: Oil and Politics in Occupied Iraq. Noami Klein calls Muttitt's book "nothing short of a secret history of the war." Muttitt uncovers new and authoritative evidence that the war was, from initial conception through to the current day, driven by interest in oil. And he tells a story of successful nonviolent resistance in Iraq, led by the oil workers, that has prevented the enactment of an oil law aimed at benefitting foreign corporations at the expense of the Iraqi people.

It's welcome to hear about Iraqi civil society was able to at least achieve some good things. It's also saddening to learn that they still don't have a representative government and electricity. And if they don't have electricity, or have very little of it, how is water sanitation done? There's also the cancer and/or deformities problems in at least some places in Iraq. I would guess that that problem, which is due to this war, surely continues in Fallujah, f.e. The rate of children born there being born with extremely bad deformities, apparently due to the US using a lot of depleted uranium, had sort of skyrocketed and women began to cease to want to conceived and give birth due to this problem. If they don't give birth, then fewer children will be born with extreme deformities. And what do we call that? Genocide.
Nevertheless, it's good to learn of good things that happened due to Iraqi activism.

Republican Rep. Greg Walden's description of the White House budget as "a shocking attack on seniors" has set off another round of who's on first. It's been hard to keep track of which party has the political advantage on Medicare and Social Security, and harder still to figure out where the GOP really stands.
Walden, the chairman of the National Republican Congressional Committee, set out on his own path this week by going after President Obama's past Medicare cuts and a new spending blueprint that would charge wealthy people more for Medicare and reduce cost-of-living increases for future Social Security recipients by using a less-generous formula called "chained CPI."
House Speaker John Boehner repeatedly belittles the two ideas as no big deal—mere starting points for negotiations toward deeper cuts. He did it again on Thursday, calling them "modest reforms." As for Walden, Boehner said, "I've made it clear that I disagree with what Chairman Walden said. He and I have had a conversation about it. I expect that this is the least we must do to begin to solve the problems in Social Security."
Former GOP Rep. Joe Scarborough was less restrained on his MSNBC show, Morning Joe. "We've been busting his chops for months. Put it out there. Be responsible," he said of Obama. "The president has finally—he just tips his toe in the water, and Greg Walden comes swinging. This is shameless."
It wouldn't be the first instance of shamelessness on entitlements in recent years. A few examples.
September 2008: Obama pledges he will not cut cost-of-living adjustments to Social Security recipients.
October 2008: Obama attacks Republican nominee John McCain for proposing Medicare cuts as part of an ambitious plan to restructure the health care market. "Senator McCain would pay for part of his plan by making drastic cuts in Medicare: $882 billion worth. $882 billion in Medicare cuts to pay for an ill-conceived, badly thought-through health care plan," Obama said, and added that Medicare benefits would be cut 20 percent. Fact-checkers rated the claims false – and also noted the cost savings sound a lot like what Obama signed into law in 2010.
December 2009: Another campaign, another role-reversal. McCain, running for reelection in his retiree-heavy home state of Arizona, leads the charge to kill $400 billion in Medicare cuts sought by Obama as part of the Affordable Care Act.
January 2010: House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan releases one of his trademark budgets that would save money by turning Medicare into a voucher program (seniors get fixed amounts of money to buy coverage on the private market) and start the process of privatizing Social Security.
Fall 2010: Republicans across the country, many of whom support the Ryan budget that would shrink Medicare growth, campaign against the cuts in Medicare growth in the Affordable Care Act.
November 2010: Texas Gov. Rick Perry releases Fed Up, his book about Washington. In it, he calls Social Security fraudulent, unsustainable, and an unconstitutional Ponzi scheme, and proposes privatizing the program.
April 2011: Ryan unveils another budget, his "Path to Prosperity." Social Security privatization is no longer part of the plan, but he keeps the Medicare cuts from "Obamacare." All but four Republicans in the House vote to approve it.
September 2011: In a Republican presidential primary debate, Perry attacks Social Security as "a monstrous lie." Rival Mitt Romney says, "I'm absolutely committed to keeping Social Security working" and "fiscally sound and stable" for 75 years. His campaign focuses mostly on means-testing and raising the retirement age as ways to do that.
August 2012: Ryan, by now Romney's vice presidential running mate, does an about-face and attacks the Medicare cuts in the Affordable Care Act. "The biggest, coldest power play of all in 'Obamacare' came at the expense of the elderly," he says at the GOP convention. "Seven hundred and sixteen billion dollars, funneled out of Medicare by President Obama." At the Democratic convention, Bill Clinton says Ryan had "some brass" to go down that road "because that $716 billion is exactly, to the dollar, the same amount of Medicare savings that he had in his own budget."
November 2012: In the wake of Obama's reelection victory, Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell says chained CPI and Medicare means-testing could get the GOP interested in new tax revenue.
December 2012: House Speaker John Boehner presses hard for chained CPI in inconclusive budget talks with Obama.
March 2013: Ryan, decoupled from Romney, releases a budget that once again retains what now amounts to some $800 billion in Medicare cuts from the Affordable Care Act, while assuming repeal of the rest of the act. His new budget also includes an additional $129 billion in savings from turning Medicare into a voucher program. The House passes the Ryan budget, 221-207. Among those voting yes: Greg Walden.
April 2013: Obama releases a budget that includes chained CPI and Medicare means testing, and Walden reaps the whirlwind.
