France's little big man and his "mandate for change" have raised expectations in the way that Tony Blair's arrival in Downing Street did in 1997. As for Mr Blair then, he has an opportunity to take the lead internationally as well as at home. But there is also the familiar danger that ambition will outstrip performance. The G8 summit is the first test of his mettle.
Mr Sarkozy has promised to hold "frank and direct" talks with Vladimir Putin, but that does not mean he will lecture him on human rights abuses, energy blackmail and threats to target missiles at Europe. Rather than confront Moscow, the west should forge "a strategic relationship and very friendly relations" with Russia, Mr Sarkozy said. It was necessary to understand what "worries" Mr Putin and what "mobilises" him. This sounds eminently sensible, except that it is the same approach pursued by George Bush and Mr Blair at the start of the Putin presidency. It has since become plain that for Russia's cocksure leader, empathy equals weakness.
Mr Sarkozy has also raised hopes of more robust action on climate change and Darfur. Speaking to Politique Internationale magazine, he said the Kyoto protocol was only a beginning. "We have to go further with the 20 industrialised countries emitting the most greenhouse gases. I'm thinking especially of the US," he said. China, India, Russia and Brazil would also have to "play their full part".
He said a world environment organisation should be created, similar to the World Trade Organisation. But - and there are echoes of the 2003 clash over Iraq here - the French approach is to emphasise binding targets and a leading role for the UN, while Mr Bush's proposal is for a new, non-binding, US-led international effort. The divergence could test Mr Sarkozy's wish for improved relations with the US.
His appointment of the humanitarian and socialist Bernard Kouchner as foreign minister has been characterised as a masterstroke, disarming the French left on the eve of national assembly elections. It has also fed the belief that human rights issues, and Blair-style humanitarian intervention, particularly in African conflicts, will feature higher up France's agenda.
Mr Sarkozy is due to speak on Darfur today, but his expected call for action has been heard many times since the killing started - and he is still emphasising political negotiation.
Meanwhile, on Europe, Mr Sarkozy is expected to pursue a "simplified treaty" to replace the rejected EU constitution. He knows he has Berlin's support; he has been quick to kick-start the Franco-German motor. He will seek to change Polish minds next week during a visit to Warsaw. But selling the idea to Gordon Brown could prove his most daunting challenge. Like Napoleon, Mr Sarkozy may discover that the limits of French power are defined by the Straits of Dover.

Cory Booker, the New Jersey mayor who is a rising star in the Democratic party, filed documents on Friday revealing his intention to run for the U.S. Senate in 2014, possibly setting up a primary challenge against 88-year-old Democratic incumbent Frank Lautenberg
Booker, the 43-year-old mayor of Newark, announced in December he would "explore the possibility" of running for Senate.
Lautenberg has yet to announce his intentions. His press office did not return a call seeking comment on Booker's filing with the U.S. Federal Election Commission.
Lautenberg, who was diagnosed with a curable form of stomach cancer in 2010, has been senator for all but two years since 1982.
The Statement of Organization form named Booker's committee "Cory Booker for Senate" and provided few details other than Booker's name as candidate and the name of the committee treasurer, Judith Zamore, who signed the form.
The document was dated Jan. 7 and Jan. 8, but was received by the secretary of the Senate public records on Friday, according to a time stamp.
A survey by Public Policy Polling released in November found most New Jersey Democrats would like to see Lautenberg, who is the oldest sitting U.S. senator, retire at the end of his fifth term in 2014 rather than seek re-election.
The same survey found Booker leading the pack of potential Democratic candidates for the Senate seat, with six in 10 voters saying they want to see him run.
Booker had previously said he was also considering opposing New Jersey Republican Governor Chris Christie in this year's gubernatorial election, but settled on the Senate option.
A Quinnipiac University poll released in November found two-thirds of New Jersey voters said Christie deserved to be re-elected, and a match-up between Christie and Booker had the Republican governor winning by 53 percent to 35 percent.

A new generation of Victorian cricketers, led by a young man who was barely three months old when the state last tasted victory against Queensland at the Gabba, yesterday put to rights that dismal record with a stirring five-wicket victory.
But the win, inspired by the Vics' skipper and man-of-the-match Cameron White, did not come without its share of final-day drama.
Aficionados of Victorian cricket might have allowed themselves a wry smile when the visitors, chasing a far-from-imposing total of 160, slumped to 4-54 shortly after lunch, having scored 50 runs without loss at the start. When the team lost its fifth wicket with 67 runs still to make, they might have wondered whether old habits did indeed die hard.
But then, they probably did not know the powers of White and his new generation of Victorian players.
On a final day holding enough twists and turns to make anyone dizzy, White, at 3.30 yesterday afternoon, became in his four-day captaincy debut the first Victorian leader in almost two decades to taste success in Queensland.
In breaking a hoodoo as old as himself, White, who nudged the single to bring the five-wicket victory, did something luminaries such as Dean Jones, Simon O'Donnell, Shane Warne, Paul Reiffel and Darren Berry could not manage.
"They were just saying that 1983, which was the year I was born, was the last time we won here. So it's just a great win," White said afterwards.
"The hoodoo is broken now so hopefully, the next year we come up here, we can come up here with more confidence and look forward to another win.
"There was a bit of talk in the rooms about the next generation and those players (Andrew McDonald, White, Jonathan Moss, David Hussey), hopefully we're it for Victoria and we can help build, with experienced players and even more younger, inexperienced players, a good, solid foundation for Victorian cricket and go forward from that."
But White admitted to being a bit nervous when early wickets looked like allowing Queensland the chance to snare yet another unlikely win. The hero for the home team, surprisingly, had been James Hopes with his fast-medium deliveries. The son of a Townsville bank manager had, in three explosive overs after lunch, produced numbers to impress the toughest critics.
The 25-year-old, whose best return until yesterday had been 3-102, somehow managed to dismiss three Victorian batsmen, including a caught and bowled to oust first-innings century-maker David Hussey for a duck. He trapped opener Jason Arnberger in front for 27 and had Brad Hodge caught by Clinton Perren.
Added to the Matthew Elliott wicket he captured immediately before lunch, they took Hopes to 4-2 off 15 deliveries.
Jonathan Moss, who had earlier snared 3-12 off 26 balls to finish off the Queensland innings, was dismissed next, edging Joe Dawes to Martin Love at first slip.
While this wicket gave the Bulls a sniff of an unlikely victory, it also brought White to the crease, and Hopes said after the match that his side had considered the Victorian skipper the barrier between it and victory.
Having already taken 6-71 and four catches for the match, White set about reining in the 67 still needed for victory.
White, who captained in place of the injured Darren Berry, refused to assess his game after the match, saying that it was up to people watching to mark him.

Tanning, the American Dream?
I don't tan. Actively or passively.
I mean, I don't put on a bikini and spread myself out on a towel in the path of the sun, nor does my skin turn to bronze should it be exposed to the sun.
For years, for most of my life really, I saw this as a problem. A Jewish problem. Well, my Ashkenazi Jewish problem. Come summers end, I was always embarrassed by my pale legs. I felt as though they were so 19th century shtetl. So wimpy. The legs of a native Yiddish speaker, an introvert, or worse, a pariah. I looked like a girl who just didn't know how to summer.
As legend has it, Coco Chanel single-handedly made tanning vogue. Up until then, tan skin belonged only to those who labored outside, so the posh, in order to emphasize class difference, stayed as pale as possible. (This is still the case in Asia and elsewhere.) Then Coco came back bronze after a summer in the French Riviera and the rich realized that, shucks, a tan doesn't just say you spent all summer picking tomatoes as a farm laborer, but can also mean that you are part of the leisure class, the type who might summer with Chanel.
My parents, upwardly mobile second-generation American Jews, gave me everything I needed to make like Chanel and get a tan. This meant a comfortable suburban childhood in Southern California with a swimming pool at home and enrollment in a day camp in the Santa Monica mountains. I did what I was supposed to do with what was given to me. I played Marco Polo and tennis, hiked the local hills and set-up lemonade stands. And I enjoyed it. Still, come summers end, I wasn't tan. At all.
In my eyes, tan skin was much bigger than looking good. It was about looking weathered, literally and symbolically. By the summers end, I too wanted proof that I had submitted myself to the elements. That I was experienced. Social. Unafraid. I could talk about my adventures, but, still, my skin said something else.
You'd think that today, with all the warnings about skin cancer and the clothes with built-in SPF, that tanning would have somehow lost its cache. It hasn't. A tan is as prized as ever, still a symbol of leisure, pleasure and a willingness to let go.
Now that I am older, and a little wiser (I hope), I have outgrown my insecurities about being pale as vanilla soft-serve. This is probably because I no longer feel as reliant on the semiotics of skin color to transmit the fact that I am the kind of person that being tan might suggest. Still, I would love to see what its like to turn carmel by Labor Day, an American dream that will never be mine.

... has plenty of shade, however, the shade does not do a lot with the 100 degree/humid days. We saw the University of Southern Mississippi. A pretty campus that also is the beginning of the Longleaf Trace bike trail. We started out early and rode 20 miles. The trail was well shaded. The first 10 miles were up hill, which made the ten miles back a dream.
We are headed out for New Orleans in the morning! ...

During pre-season coach also gave us a day off! which is rare and awesome! We all went canoeing/ rafting in the Okatoma team bonding! Kayla and I made it through the whole course without tipping, and I accidentally tipped my friends boat over trying to rescue them.
Aside from the awesome training's and hanging out ...
Just 1 more night...
... 2nd time I have visited here and I had forgotten just how big the park is... but more importantly I had forgotten how well marked it is - there are markers EVERYWHERE in this place - you can't spit without hitting a marker. It was actually one of the parks formed soon after the civil war, when many of the soldiers that fought were still alive, and nearly every spot has a plaque for some regiment or general! Then the memorials, statues, etc are countless... ...
Saw storms on the forecast, thought, north??
... done that, and upon seeing that the next few days were going to bring coastal storms, let's head north and go visit Vicksburg, site of the second most important US Civil War battle.

The Apple iPad and Microsoft Surface tablets are an absolute nightmare to disassemble, making them virtually unrepairable. The Dell XPS 10, however, is super easy to work on.
Those are the key findings of iFixit's new Tablet Repairability ranking list, which you'll definitely want to check out if you're at all concerned about repairability when shopping for a tablet. The list, released Thursday, runs down 18 tablets and provides an overview the teardown scores iFixit publishes after tearing down a gadget. It also highlights just how difficult it is to fix the most popular tablets on the market.
We already knew the Surface Pro is virtually unrepairable, and it ranks dead last on iFixit's list. The only positive thing they had to say was a half-hearted, "Battery is not soldered to the motherboard."
Apple's incredibly popular lineup of iPads doesn't fare much better. The iPad Mini, fourth-generation iPad, third-generation iPad, and iPad 2 all received scores of 2 out of 10. Only the original iPad was more repairable with a 6-of-10 score.
"Our hope is that through customers' votes, manufacturers will create long-lasting, easy-to-repair hardware that we can all love," Kyle Wiens wrote in a blog post announcing the Tablet Repairability list. Wiens has long been an advocate of repairable devices, particularly for environmental and social reasons.
For example, knowing that the Dell XPS 10 is easy to open with labeled cables inside might convince some consumers to choose it over the Microsoft Surface tablet, which is essentially super-glued together. And knowing that it's easy to replace the Google Nexus 7's battery could push somebody to buy it over the iPad Mini's complicated disassembly process.
That said, repairability is not usually on consumers' minds. But with iFixit's lists and teardowns, the company is pushing for it to become a key decision factor when choosing your next device. And the iFixit team will add more tablets to the list as they continue their teardowns.Go Back to Top. Skip To: Start of Article.

Immersion Disinfection of Irreversible Hydrocolloid Impressions With Sodium Hypochlorite. Part II: Effect on Gypsum
This study investigated the effects of various immersion times and concentrations of sodium hypochlorite on irreversible hydrocolloid impressions and resultant gypsum casts. Irreversible hydrocolloid impressions of a test die were immersed for 1, 5, or 10 minutes in water (control), 5.25%, 0.525%, and 0.0525% sodium hypochlorite and then cast in a Type III stone and a Type V stone. Each stone specimen was evaluated for detail reproduction, dimensional change, surface roughness, and surface hardness. The results indicated that impressions may be immersed in sodium hypochlorite for any of the experimental times and concentrations without negative effects on Type V stone casts. However, immersion of impressions in 5.25% sodium hypochlorite causes some surface deterioration on Type III stone casts.

ED Magedson – Founder
Ripoff Report
carving-cnc.comInternet USA
carving-cnc.com Lanke MicroCNC Co.,Ltd. Blackmail: Would steal money if we would not apologize in 24 hours Beijing Internet
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
We're quite a large company and we do a lot of business with China, so every couple of months we encounter a case for the Ripoff Report.
This particular sleazy company goes under many names: OUMIAO CNC, Lanke MicroCNC Co, carving-CNC.com and YOOCNC (which product's they appear to be counterfeiting).
We paid with PayPal for one of their top CNC routers, the X6-1500GT-USB.
They then told us they refused to put a different "payer" address on the customs invoice than the delivery address, and they claimed this was because DHL or Fedex would not agree to this. This is nonsense, and we told them that. The reason their shipping agent told them that nonsense is because they don't want to spend time adding space for one extra address in their forms.
Carving-CNC.com kept telling us that we really were wrong and they would not use our payer address on the invoice. That would mean that we woul not be eligible to deduct the import VAT, costing us about 600 dollars. [continued below]....
When, after days of back-and-forth, they rudely told us they were not going to comply with our very reasonable request of having a different "Bill to" than "ship to", we did some more Googling of their products because we had initially heard a lot of good things about heir CNC routers/mills. We considered absorbing the 600 dollar loss.
However, after hours of reading forums, it turned out hat those mills are good in mechanical quality alone, but nothing else, and often not even the ballbearings lasted longer than 10 to 20 hours, machining aluminum.
We read that they never ever answer any emails after making the sale. Not even when parts were missing or damaged. And a LOT of shipping damage occurs. We read that the controllers blow themselves up due to design flaws. Too much too mention.
So we asked for a refund. Simple enough, seen the fact that they hadn't shipped yet.
They rudely refused, so we filed a PayPal dispute, explaining the situation.
But then Lance took over of Grace from carving-CNC.com and he said that unless I would "apologize" in 24 hours (for what?) to both him and PayPal (how and why?), they would not grant us the refund. That would imply they would either directly steal our 2500 dollars or they would steal 600 dollars in VAT by refusing to use the correct payer address (to which our VAT number is registered).
So we escalated the dispute to a PayPal claim, and Lance again threatened to refuse the refund.
We warn people against carving-cnc.com and their bad products and bad customer service. The CNCX6-1500 Series and everything else they sell is mechanically reasonable but flawed, and electronically a total disaster. The water tubes are too thin and will have to be replaced. The wires in the cables break within weeks. The stepper motors loose steps. The controllers blow up due to design flaws.

I had no issues with Carving -CNC
SUBMITTED: Tuesday, October 21, 2014POSTED: Tuesday, October 21, 2014
I spotted this report whilst researching for the same machine from carving-cnc. I decided to ignore it after reading so many positive reviews for the company.
I went on to purchse the same machine, and after about a week I got notice that it was being shipped. Had a tracking number and machine arrived about 3 days later.
The machine has since been assembled and is working fine. I have had no issues with broken cooling tubes or wires and my machine does not miss any steps.
For the record, I had no special requests regarding different postal and billing address.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

Not much college football talk around here...
So here's a Roll Tide to ya! Great game by Bama last night, against a team that I thought was very deserving to be there. A lot of haters on the Irish today, but they were a great team. They played with heart and grit all season long, and I know the game meant a lot to them. They just met a juggernaut that is very, very hard to stop. This should give the A&M folks and the UGA folks a lot to be proud of too, because one of them beat Bama, and the other very nearly did. And this is no ordinary college football team. Alabama from 2008-2012 will go down as one of the last dynasties of college sports for a while. You are watching a 70's Steelers, a 50's Yankees, an 90's Bulls, type of program.
Proud to be an alumni today! I expect to see the Irish again very soon!

Democrat Mark Dayton polls ahead of Republican Tom Emmer but trails Republican Marty Seifert. Seifert polls ahead of Democrat Margaret Anderson Kelliher but is tied with Democrat R.T. Rybak. Confused? Well it appears that Minnesota voters asked to weigh in on the governor's race are as well.
Rasmussen Reports polled 500 likely voters on Minnesota's race for governor. It shows that the field is wide open.
Meanwhile, 42% of those polled favor President Obama's health care plan while 53% oppose it.
President Obama's approval rating is also split in Minnesota. 49% of those polled approve of the job he's doing. 49% disapprove.

Do you get special training on using JOL on hybrids?
We had a Toyota Prius hybrid a few years back and the dealer said that due to the voltage on board we shouldn't expect FDs to cut us out as it can kill them. Has that changed at all?

Yeah, I took all the names of the people and the dept. just in case. I don't know if its needed but I did it anyway. :)

Props on actually having all your PPE on and in place.
As far as hybrids go, yes, they can kill. Never cut the big orange cables... for a Prius, those are carrying 440VAC to the electric motor and can get you dead in a hurry.
Of course, all vehicle extrication is getting more and more dangerous, hybrid or not. It's now even more important to strip all the trim in the A/B/C pillars and roofline due to stored gas cylinders for side curtain airbags. The dash may also hold such cylinders for knee airbags (some cars have 16 bags in total, with only the driver and passenger "primary" airbags being chemical/silver azide... the rest are stored gas). Those little cylinders are 3K-5Kpsi... I've seen pictures from overseas where a firefighter lost a large chunk of his face (sheared his nose off, essentially) thanks to perforating one of those cylinders.
Our training was a 20 page black-and-white manual with crappy (unusable) pictures. Meh.
You're lookin' real good.

To firemen everywhere: thank you for the tough, dangerous and critically-important job you do. It's much appreciated! Stay safe, even when you're leaping from building to building, diving into situations that would give the untrained pause. Kudos!
I still have memories of just how quickly the crew responded to a vehicle crash on a remote mountain road. A friend died, and his wife (passenger) had to be extricated from the car. They made the 10 milie trip in 9 minutes from the report of the crash, and that through a hellacious rain storm on dangerous mountain roads. They extracted the passenger without damage, though the driver had been killed on impact. They were professional, skilled, helpful and able to help me (the friend and witness of it all) through a very tough hour. I'm glad there are such motivated, skilled and capable people amongst us. Ain't it the truth.

San Mateo County 's Mental Health Policy/Business Plan
Original post made by Michael G. Stogner, another community, on Jun 19, 2014
How does this happen? What was the Sargents communication to the deputy? What is our County Policy on this type of call? What is the game plan, what are the options, what training takes place so our first responders can be safe and our citizens not get killed.
I attended the HMB council meeting last Tuesday night per the public request of the family I expressed my condolences to Tony Serrano. I asked him if anybody from the county has made contact with the family, No was the answer. While I was next to him council members came up expressed their condolences and let him know this was a SMC Supervisor issue not city. I saw reps for Jerry Hill and Rich Gordon arrive and I thought that is more like it when you have a 18 year old girl killed by Law Enforcement within 20 seconds of arrival. I was wrong they were at the meeting to show support for a BRIDGE and after they spoke they left like they had never heard of Yanira Serrano, the council went on with the normal meeting while a large group of people wanted to speak about the killing. One council member even reported about how successful the Tip a Cop event was a couple of weeks prior, I was just shaking my head at the lack of empathy for the family. How could you talk about the Sheriff's Tip a Cop event when the audience was full of supporters for the family's loss, because a Deputy shot and killed a girl within 20 seconds. They called for an ambulance that's all.
Not one elected official in all of San Mateo County could invest 1 hr of there time to attend and simply say I'm sorry for your loss, same goes for the 7 papers in this county, I saw 1 reporter from the HMB paper. Remember this was a call for help that we are all told to do, and a child is dead in seconds.
San Mateo County Leaders should be ashamed

Asphalt road repair has been done at the spot where Yanira died, Why?
Maybe a reporter could drive out to the scene and find out about that, also ask about the 2 parking spots marked Sheriff outside their home.

If I had some back ground info, I could comment, but there is so little information given that it is impossible to comment. It is easy to criticize police, but we do not know what situation the officer met.

Subarnarekha (Bengali: সুবর্ণরেখা Subarṇarēkhā) is an Indian Bengali film directed by Ritwik Ghatak.[1] It was produced in 1962 but was not released until 1965. It was part of the trilogy, Meghe Dhaka Tara (1960), Komal Gandhar (1961), and Subarnarekha (1962), all dealing with the aftermath of the Partition of India in 1947 and the refugees coping with it.[2]
In a critics' poll of all-time greatest films conducted by Asian film magazine Cinemaya in 1998, Subarnarekha was ranked at #11 on the list.[3]
Plot summary[edit]
The film tells the story of Ishwar Chakraborty (Abhi Bhattacharya), a Hindu refugee from East Pakistan after the 1947 partition of India. He goes to West Bengal with his little sister Sita (Indrani Chakrabarty) where he tries to start a new life. In a refugee camp, they see the abduction of a low-caste woman and Ishwar takes her little son Abhiram (Sriman Tarun) with him. He gets a job at a factory in the province, near the river Subarnarekha.
After completing his study when Abhiram is asked to go to Germany for his studies, he (Satindra Bhattacharya) and Sita (Madhabi Mukherjee) discover that they are in love. But at this moment, Ishwar's fear of prejudice emerges, as he does not want his sister, a Brahmin, to marry a lower caste boy. During Sita's wedding with another man, the girl and Abhiram elope and go to Calcutta. Ishwar is angry and heartbroken.
Sita and Abhiram live in the slums of Calcutta and try to make ends meet. They have a little son (Sriman Ashok Bhattacharya). One day, Abhiram gets a new job as a bus driver, but this leads to tragedy: when he accidentally hits and kills a little girl, he is lynched by the crowd. In her desperate situation, Sita is forced to think about taking up prostitution.
In the meantime, Ishwar is living a lonely and sad life in the province. When his old time friend Haraprasad (Bijon Bhattacharya) comes to visit him, they decide to go to Calcutta on a binge drinking tour. They finally end up in a brothel, both completely drunk. When Ishwar staggers into one of the bedchambers, he is faced... with his own sister, whose first "client" he should become. Sita immediately recognizes him and rather cuts her own throat than submit to incest. She dies. When Ishwar realizes what has happened, he breaks down.
At the end of the film, the now completely broken Ishwar meets Sita's little son, who is now his closest relative. He brightens up and decides to take the little boy into his house.

I Hate Air Bubbles – How To Install Your Screen Protector Tutorial
I know firsthand that installing a screen protector can be a tad trying on your patience. When I first had to do this, I was shaking my fist in the air at air bubbles everywhere. Luckily, we've created a video to help guide you through the application process. Now that's better. No more air bubbles.

While the courts have tried to hold the line, the White House, abetted by a pliant Congress, is now attempting to severely restrict the ancient writ of habeas corpus by which American courts since the 18th century have sought to remedy unlawful imprisonment. It is possible that the voter backlash demonstrated in the recent midterm elections will blunt this trend and push the pendulum back.
The role of the press in charting the ebbs and flows of liberty over 40 years has never been more important than it is today. Early in this period, the press began to assert itself, even taking down Nixon and all the president's men during Watergate. But long-overlooked powers of federal law, lying in wait like loaded weapons, suddenly sprang to life in the past decade and began to be used with a vengeance by federal prosecutors and judges. Journalists are now almost routinely forced to choose between disclosing sources or going to prison. Newspapers and reporters are threatened with draconian penalties for "espionage," for reporting official misconduct and violations of the people's liberties. Witness the New York Times' courageous and urgent disclosure of unlawful presidential use of the National Security Agency to conduct warrantless electronic surveillance, which resulted in a criminal investigation into how the paper got the information, and whether the reporters, editor, and newspaper itself committed a crime in reporting it. But if the past is indeed prologue — as I have come to believe it is — we can count on the pendulum swinging back, but only, of course, if we become energized and activated by the extent of the problem.
Pulitzer Prize–winning war correspondent Marguerite Higgins wrote in her 1951 book: "So long as our government requires the backing of an aroused and informed public opinion, it is necessary to tell the hard bruising truth." Amen! This has been — and, with luck, will continue to be — the philosophical and political underpinning of the "Freedom Watch" column. After a two-month sabbatical to work on my long-planned book on the Department of Justice, I'll be back to help launch the Phoenix's 41st year fighting for truth, justice, and the true American way.

The Drilldo skillshot is achieved by charging the Penetrator and sliding into two or more enemies, killing them on impact. This is easiest to do on a slope or slick surface to extend the duration of your slide.
- "Drilldo" comes from the combination of "drill" and "dildo".

At the present time, there is a lack of understanding of the performance of structures as complete systems under extreme loading conditions such as realistic, uncontrolled fires. Current specifications for the design of steel structures in the U.S. do not require structural engineers to design for fire conditions. A key issue in evaluating the response of structural systems to fire effects is the response of the structural system, including connections. The typical design procedure of representing connections as fixed or pinned is inadequate when evaluating structural response to fire. This paper presents a first step towards developing a simplified representation of simple shear tab connections for use in structural analysis and design. First, recently developed temperature-dependent material models for different types of steels are implemented. Finite Element (FE) analyses of coupon models are performed to verify the implementation of these material models. Detailed, solid-element models of simple shear tab connections are developed, and analyses are performed to determine the failure modes at different temperatures. The failure modes and key features in the detailed model will be used to develop simplified models of shear tab connections for finite element analyses.

The hometown Nashville Predators clearly stole a win last night from a very solid SJ Sharks team 3-2 last night @the Bridge. Frankly, until the last half of the third period, last night's tilt was a very boring affair. No hitting, no grinding, and frankly no heart shown by the Preds. However, that all changed on SK74's goal with 3+ minutes left. Weber brought the puck in on the right side, and he did numerous times last night, and found a wide open SK74 who buried it in the back of the net. That one play got the crowd alive, and got the momentum moving back on the Preds side. 44 seconds later, Sullivan brought the puck in on the Left wing and gave a BEAUTIFUL one-time pass to
for the game winner. Accordingly, the building went nuts. Wilson
- The Preds had 10 shots in the first 9 minutes of the game; however, most were unscreened and east for Niemi to track down. After that barrage, the Preds slowed down their shots, and stopped skating.
- Play of the night: J-P Dumont's clean takedown of a SJ Shark on a breakaway. There was more hustle on that play by Dumont than I've seen as year put together by him...plus it was smart. He reached out and got the puck, while sliding, then took the skater's legs out. Hard to describe, but it was an amazing play.
- It seemed like our forwards couldn't find each other last night, but that has to be attributed to the fact that Horny was out and lines were juggled.
After giving up an early goal, which appeared to be an unscreened shot from the blueline (just as I was praising his play), the kid stood on his head. He made two save in the waning moments of the game that were two of the best saves I've ever seen! Mind you, he looked like a fish out of water, but it worked!
Stars of the game:
1a) SK74. This kid is coming into his own, and is about to become a scoring machine. Guaranteed.
1b) Lindback. He's played 8 or 9 straight games, and doesn't look one bit fatigued. You've got to keep riding him while he's hot.
3) Toots. Once again, he skated hard, forechecked wisely, and put the puck on net. We're seeing the best hockey he's ever played right now—and not surprisingly, it's in his contract year. Hmmmmmmmmm….

Details on Greinke's no-trade clause
Zack Greinke's no-trade clause allows him to block trades to 15 teams. That list includes the New York Yankees, Boston Red Sox and Washington Nationals, according to a major league source.
However, Greinke could be traded to the Texas Rangers, Los Angeles Angels or Detroit Tigers without his permission.
The Kansas City Royals are open to moving Greinke, who has two years and a total of $27 million left on his current contract.
The Nationals would like to trade for a starting pitcher and have shown interest in both Greinke and Tampa Bay's Matt Garza.

It's that time of the year again to ring in a New Year! Time to reflect (hopefully full of wonderful memories) and look to the hope of what the future can bring!
As you may gather with friends or family, there must always be good food to go with those great people.
Here are some food ideas for ringing in the New Year.
Good, simple, and raw food is a great place to start:
- Fresh fruit and veggie platters are always appreciated. Use a dairy free ranch (I use Penzey's) or something like the firecracker onion dip.
- If you can do seafood, fresh seafood and sushi is a wonderful gluten free, dairy free option, especially if you cook it up yourself.
Using a theme is also helpful in planning a coordinated feast. Everyone loves things in miniature! Bite sized portions are cute and welcoming. Here are some themes that may fit the bill!
- Mexican bar - have open faced tacos. I make these by cutting out rice tortilla circles (lightly oil these and bake at 350˚F until they are toasted - about 5-7 minutes), add refried beans, cooked taco meat, and cheese (dairy free if necessary). Heat for 15 seconds in the microwave to melt the cheese, add lettuce, salsa and serve. Here they are:
Continuing on the Mexican theme - serve taquitos, or you can use the same rice tortilla rounds and make quesadillas, and how about making individual Enchilada-Casser-Ole- from Taste of Home ( be sure to use dairy free cheese and sour cream, and you can use these recipes for taco seasoning and italian salad dressing. You can use the same tortilla rounds from above and layer in individual ramekins. Individual fajitas would be scrumptious. Taste of Home Grilled Fajitas has a good recipe, though I like to use my Penzeys Fajita Seasoning.
- Tapas bar - I read a great idea in Living Without about having a Mediterranean spread with a roasted red pepper garlic dip, baba ghanoush, empanadas, hummus, and flatbread.
- Hot wing bar - use all your favorite sauces.
- Pizza bar - make all the pizza dough ahead using Premium Crust recipe. Be sure to use your favorite all purpose gluten free flour in the recipe and follow the instructions from there. I use this recipe to make ahead all my pizza dough for my kids parties.
|Buffalo Chicken Pizza
- Baked potato bar - this needs no describing. (But make sure there is lots of bacon and cheese!)
- Soup bar - soup is wonderful and be sure there is your favorite bread on the side. (I have several favoriteses but I like the size of these Better Batter Italian Rolls). Make sure that your soups are a variety of colors as well as tastes. This is great if you have meat eaters and vegans all at one party. Here are some of my favorite soups: Black Bean Soup, Spicy Lentil Soup (remember you can add color to your table with lentils, they come in colors!), potato soup, split pea soup, hardy chicken noodle or chicken and dumplings, and if you can do dairy I make this one and it is deelish - Zuppa toscana.
- Pie bar - how about different pot pies, Gluten Free Mommy has a fresh pot pie, a beef pot pie from one of my favorite blogs - The Art of Gluten Free cooking (formerly Four Chickens). Be sure to end with a choice of sweet mini pies - chocolate pecan pie, blueberry cherry pie, varied flavors of pie pops, just to name a few.
- Waffle Bar - make savory and sweet waffles. Remember that you can make side dishes in a waffle iron. ****** Check out these ideas: Zucchini Potato Wafflettes , gingerbread waffles ( Elizabeth Kaplan has a great recipe in her bookFresh from Elizabeth's Kitchen: Gluten-free & Allergy-Free Recipes , chocolate waffles, cornbread and jalapeno waffles, oyster waffles, Waffled hash browns, and in the Cooking for Isaiah: Gluten-Free & Dairy-Free Recipes for Easy Delicious Meals there are several wonderful recipes for savory waffles. At Food Network Emeril has a wonderful recipe that is easily converted to gluten free, Pecan waffles with roasted pecan and banana syrup. Don't be shy with your favorite waffle batter, try different add ins like bacon and cheddar, or how about a sticky bun flavor by adding cinnamon, brown sugar, raisins, and walnuts, and there is always a snickerdoodle or apple pie waffles. You can just get so creative with your favorite dishes and waffelize them! ****** Don't forget toppings. You can have toppings like chili for the cornbread, cheese for the hash brown and zucchini potato wafflettes, whipped cream and fresh fruit for the sweet waffles, as well as dairy free ice cream, glazed fruits, blueberry lemon curd, it is endless! *****If that is just to much waffles for you. I have used Silvia's idea and used plain waffles as bread and made sandwiches with them. They make an great alternative to bread, so there is always providing waffle sandwiches.

24 Jun Get Your Grill On
With summer here, you might think I am talking about your big, outdoor grill. But, let's face it, everyone talks about the heat and humidity, then why, oh, why, would anyone want to grill outdoors in 95 degree heat, without the heat-index?
I prefer to stay in my air-conditioned home and grill away…on my waffle iron. Yes, my waffle iron. Not sure how I started using my waffle iron for grilling, but without a Panini grill or electric fry pan, my waffle iron was staring me in the face one day, and now, it's my preferred way to grill indoors.
With a summer's bounty from Portobello mushrooms, thin slices of zucchini, and even lettuce, the grilling possibilities are endless.
People have been using waffle irons for more than 100 years, when General Electric created a patent in 1911 for an electric waffle iron. Of course, we all know the story of Nike Co-founder, Bill Bowerman, who used his wife's waffle iron to experiment with the idea of making a "waffle-ironed" rubber sole on a sneaker. The rest is history.
And for the record, I only cook food on my waffle iron. No sneaker waffling takes place on my waffle iron.
Veggie Grilling on the Waffle Iron
Using no-added oil, here's a great way to create delicious grilled lettuce. Here's my DIY:
For Lettuce:
~Small head of Romaine Lettuce
~Juice of one lemon
Slice the lettuce lengthwise, and cut off the bottom of the stem. Place the lettuce flat side down on a high and well heated waffle iron (I use a Teflon® grill). Pour the lemon juice all over the lettuce halves, and close the top of the waffle iron.
Because lettuce has a high water content, it will steam beautifully, and keep your cooking surface from drying out. The lettuce will be ready when you grill top is less hinged. You can check how the lettuce looks, too, you will have nice square, grill marks. Takes between 5-7 minutes to grill.
For Portobello:
~One large Portobello
~Juice of one lemon
I like to remove the gills from the underbelly of the mushroom. Place the mushroom, bottom side down on your waffle iron, generously pour lemon juice all over the mushroom Again, high heat works the best. You can tell when the mushroom is done as it will be flattened and filled with square grill marks.
I season any vegetables when they are done, as sometimes, some spices will stick to the grill and make it difficult to open, especially garlic powder.
Other Uses:
~Grilled Fruit is the best. I like pineapple wedges, watermelon, cherries, strawberries, the list is long. Bananas are awesome! Grilling brings out the sweetness of any fruit! Never a need for any added sugar, but your sweet tooth will be happy.
~Quesadilla maker. Who cares if your Tex-Mex dish has little squares in it? Guess what? Salsa will find a home in any square once you pour some over your finished product.
~Heated tortillas. Sprinkle some water on your tortilla (one at a time), then close the top using medium heat. They will be perfect for making wraps and burritos!
~Baked potato wedges. Thick slices actually work best. Use an already baked potato and cut into very thick slices. They will brown beautifully in your high-heat waffle iron.
My point is that your waffle iron can be your best friend in a hot kitchen, but you'll stay cool creating fun, easy dishes. And, the clean up is a breeze.
How have you used your waffle iron for making dinner?

From the small Tuhoe town of Matahi on to the silver screen, Joe McLeod is sharing the culinary knowledge he gained at home and overseas.
Mr McLeod will be preparing international recipes using local ingredients on Maori Television's new cooking show, Joe's World on a Plate, which will air for the first time at 7pm tomorrow using both te reo and English.
Each week a new entree, main and dessert will be on the menu, covering dishes such as goose from Alaska, snake from Papua New Guinea and pickled pork from Germany.
He said putting the show together had been a beautiful experience, but a lot of hard work.
"I'm brand new to it - I was as green as they come. I used to laugh at TV bloopers; I won't be any more.
"It was really tough but the opportunity to show my stories was unbelievable, to be able to show my whanau you need hard work to reach your goals."
The television show will not only show off Mr McLeod's culinary prowess. He will be telling stories about his life and travels around the world, and the ideas he brought back home.
Although he's changing parts of the traditional recipes by using local ingredients, Mr McLeod said he would stick close to the originals.
Using te reo was a treat, he said. "I found I relaxed more rabbiting off in te reo than I would have been in English."
Maori were gifted artists and cooking was his way of expressing himself.
"Maori are very artistic, I use food as my medium."
He started cooking professionally in 1972, but had been involved in marae catering long before. Growing up in Matahi meant Mr McLeod was born into te reo and tikanga Maori (customs), and he learned from the "masters" the arts of cooking food in a traditional way.
After travelling the world and working in top international restaurants, he came home in 2006 and embarked on a research project on how to preserve Maori cuisine.
"I learned from the masters how to do things like cooking kereru and tui, although I wouldn't do that these days.
"Everything I do is for our people, I was surprised how many tribes have no clue about the foods that grew in their area; this is my koha to them, to give it back."
Joe's World on a Plate is produced by Reuben Collier and Jo Santamaria of Rotorua's Maui Productions, which also does Kai Time on the Road for Maori TV.


text: He became a musician as he started to take drum lessons in 1993 at the age of 7. 6 years later he did his first steps in producing and created his first tracks (at this time mainly Hip Hop). Beside all genres that accompanied his youth, the electronical music had been playing only a little role until he finally went to the first Techno/Electro parties when he was 18. At this point he knew that this will be the field on which he can develop and started to explore the art of electronical music. A few years later he started playing dj-sets on private parties and eventually larger clubs in the Lake of Constance area and began to release several tracks and remixes on different labels. Finally he got an award as best newcomer at the first 'Bodensee Music Awards' in 2008. With his productions an..Bombilla's biography Bombilla Musician

We stopped at Carlisle castle for a short visit. It is a 900 year old Border Castle that was a prison for Mary Queen of Scots at some time. Robert the Bruce failed to take the castle in 1315 although he did cause devastation around it. Now we are back in England he is no longer a hero.
In the process of building nearby for the millennium, lots of old relics were found. There was an interesting display in one part of the castle. They found coins that go back to 83 AD, food items that show that plum, grapes and herbs were eaten here in the mid 2nd century and a wooden peg that goes back to the 1st century
There were other displays in the Keep. They pointed out that this had always been on the Border so lots of disputes had been in the area. All houses and churches in the area were fortified and there was a beacon warning system in operation. One part was called 'the Debateable Land' where for years the position of the border was unclear. Finally a dike was built to establish the border and this is the place of the border today.
The military strength of the caste has fluctuated over the years. At one stage the chief gunner was a local butcher and none of the gunners actually knew how to fire them. Henry 8th fortified the castle when he was afraid of papal retribution after dissolving the monasteries.
There was also a display about Bonnie Prince Charlie and his campaign. I always think of him in the north of Scotland but he was in this area as well. The description of the treatment of prisoners after the campaign was not pleasant.
JB - (not to be read while eating!)
The prisoners were hung – then cut down while still alive – they were slit open and their intestines were removed and burned in front of them while they were still conscious – then they were beheaded" – charming……. Even the locals who came along for the 'entertainment' left in disgust.
We then headed back to the motorway for a while before we turned off to have a short drive through the Lake District. We set the GPS to take us in then stopped for lunch at a pub with a view of Lake Ullswater. We found a couple of caches at viewpoints then set the GPS for Shrewsbury. The GPS now took us over the highest pass in the district so I had good views but John had to concentrate so he didn't hit the stone walls lining the narrow roads, do he didn't see a lot. We did stop here for our last cache so he had a chance to see The Brothers Lake. This is a small lake with a sad history. Its name used to be Broad Water but apparently changed when two brothers drowned in the lake in the 19th century. Whilst ice skating on the lake in about 1875 two more brothers drowned. Dorothy Wordsworth referred to Brothers Water as "the glittering lively lake"
We then did a motorway run south to Shrewsbury. On the way I deleted some caches including some we had done but not yet logged. I filled in the next couple of hours sorting this out thanks to a helpful suggestion from John. Fortunately there was not much to see.
We then found we were in Wales as our trip took us through the part that protrudes into England. We arrived at Alison and Alan's house at the right time. They are friends of Peter and Shelly Hulland who are new teachers at NGC. We had approached them about a house exchange which has turned into us staying in their house in October (while they are at their sons wedding in the USA) and we owing them a return stay sometime. Unfortunately we had just missed the Shrewsbury Flower Show, especially as we discovered that Alison had won first place for her hydrangeas. Alison's mother, Audrey, was staying with them for the week and all three were extremely welcoming. We had welcome drinks then had a tour of house and garden.
The back garden is beside the River Severn and it looked lovely. There was a man fishing (it is a salmon stream) on the opposite shore and we were told we could also fish when we return but would need a license
Alan had built the conservatory that we first sat in and it was a lovely spot, protected from the wind. He had also added on the garage area and later a third floor with 2 bedrooms, bathroom and balcony. Audrey was staying on this floor so we had another room but are to use this area when we return.
We had been offered a light meal but Alison's definition is not the same as ours, because we had 3 courses. Not that we were complaining as it was lovely to have vegetables because this is something we miss on our travels. We spent over an hour eating and chatting about travel, children, weddings, sports….
Alan and Alison are very keen (and successful) multi sportspeople and Alison is preparing for a swim in the river on Sunday. Alan had qualified for a Great British triathlon team but it is on at the time of his sons' wedding so can't take part. He was the area police chief and was in charge of many of the police training programs throughout the country. He also had a senior police role in Hong Kong for 2 years, so knew the city and China well. They had been to New Zealand and had enjoyed the Bert Munro display in Invercargill as well as a trip to Doubtful and Milford Sounds. We had to admit they were still on our 'to do' list. Alan suggested a trip into the centre of the town the next morning and to the countryside in the afternoon which sounded perfect.

Making my way through Holland going South. Staying with friends and family along the way. And getting to know my bicycle. New mode of transport means new things to figure out and discover:
On the second day I heard this rattling noise at the back of my bike....oh oh problems with my precious transport vehicle on the FIRST day!! of my travels, shit! But soon I discovered that it were only the little stones that got attached to my tyre and bounced up the back of my bike! One bag fell off, now know a better way to tie my bags to the bike, packing them differently etc. Beginner's things ;-)))
Of course moving around by bicycle goes slower, but you d� see the little things I overlook when cruising past on my motorbike. example: I discovered this Jukebox museum near Sint-Oedenrode! Never knew they had one.
Good thing I choose to move around in Holland as I had to do a few more things listed on my to-do-list, re-arranging my luggage, repairing my bike-bags (yes, should have done it bef�re I left!). After cycling for a few days I really felt I had to much stuff with me. Time to go through the stuff again. Extra t-shirt, my big (and heavy) camera made it onto round 2. Bike cleaner, reading stuff and extra handbag (and more) did not ;-) It did save me a few kilo. feels much better! Ironic to see my parents going on 2 weeks holidays with a van complety loaded, me trying to minimize things as much as possible, finding even smaller bottles for my toileteries...
One more day in Holland and it is time to start speaking German!
Aber das kann Ich auch sprechen ;-)
No....by bumb is fine, getting slowly into shape, loving the cycling feeling....

I sincerely hope that the former employees will get paid.... which is more than can be said for the stock holders. This thing is a giant mess. The stock holders were kept in the dark. Sales reps don't know how to service their clients, what to tell them or how to fix this mess. Currently checks are going into a black hole. In fact, the investors and outside sales reps don't know if Barbourville was actually processing or just forwarding checks to some other agency via remote capture. The software can't be identified, and the list containing the names of clients has walked off with SOMEBODY!!! Yes, a few folks should go to jail for this.

I would just like to know if there is a plan for more jobs in that building that would be nice.
United States
#43 Oct 8, 2010
It'll probably end up as a vacant lot unless KCEOC wants to invest into another contract...which I doubt since Infinity broke the last one.
#44 Jun 16, 2011
Whatever came of the building is it just empty or has another company moved in? What about IBG too?
#45 Jun 17, 2011
IBG went bankrupt and the owners stole 29.5 million dollars and are pending 33 federal charges in SC alone. They are pending charges in 5 states including Kentucky.
#46 Jul 1, 2011
i guess if you have a suit against them, you are just out of luck?
#47 Jul 1, 2011
Absolutely not and I can't wait until I can see all them in a big orange jumpsuit with everything they ever had auctioned off. Of course most of them only have interest only loans. They weren't the big dogs everyone thought they were. I guess all of that "partying" got out of control.

haha we all know that janice was talking the money. now she works at the job shop in london... what a change. the job sucked and and they never wanted to help you in any way to find the numbers of the people you were supposed to call.... they bitched when you went to the restroom and said you'd get fired if you did. i worked there 2 years and got laid off twice! in the end we found out the computers were financed and had never been paid on. none of the bills were being paid.
#49 Oct 13, 2011
And it was so nice that they listened in to everything you said. I'm not talking about when you were on the phone with someone. Just talking to another employee. When I quit Janice mentioned something I had discussed with someone else there. I guess they got their kicks out of listening to you talk. I don't know how though that Janice would of been taking the money. That would of been deposited into a corporate account.. No money came directly into that office.
#50 Oct 17, 2011
I was just wondering if the employee's that IBG left oweing will they ever be paid? It sad that a business can just close its doors and leave not paying the employee's what is due to them. When we were working for IBG it gave everything we could to help the business but in the end we were never appreciated. They just used us to wipe their feet on
#51 Oct 18, 2011
Hopefully Wade, Brad, John and Haynes will be in handcuffs soon. 134 State charges and Federal Rico charges pending. THEY are the ones that wiped their feet on you and the other 9,000 investors and employees.

Past Employee sounds like if you never got your last pay checks all of the one's who didn't get it maybe should think about getting a lawyer. Also, make sure you contact the Division of Employment Standards.

#53 Dec 29, 2011
I worked there 2.5 yrs.from the beginning. The job really sucked and was one of the worst jobs I ever had. I just needed to pay the bills. When they fired me I went out and found 3 jobs in the first week. I wish they would have fired me the first week. I figured early on this was a big scam. There were a lot of back stabbers and I know they could hear our conversations. Electronic and by others word of mouth. You know we were on camera 24/7 and I called the head one a bitch all the time, fact is a fact.The bad thing is all you back stabbers are now back stabbing somewhere else. You know who you are, I do too. There was more than one bitch too. Most of you were trying to make a living and didn't deserve what you got, your better off now. There is no really good jobs around here, they are already taken. The South Gang need to watch where they step. They no doubt took money from ones they don't know anything about. That's is a little scary, don't go out in the dark they know where you are, I don't care but someone does!!!!
#54 Dec 29, 2011
Who cares get over it this business has been closed for a year now. Big Dog arf arf!!!
#55 Jan 28, 2012
The Cordell's, Blevins and Morgan Keegan bought a firm in Florida called Automated Recovery Solutions, for its good name to start the con all over again. If you want the facts on what all participants did with IBG and are now trying to do with ETP, just read the following link from the State Attorney's office in South Carolina:

Wade now runs a company in SC called

That is funny. Hope this company doesn't get ran into the groud
#58 Feb 14, 2013
How did you work for a company and they were cutting taxes and didn't get a w2 form at the end of the yr to file your taxes that should have been your first red flag that something wasn't right
#59 Feb 14, 2013
I hope to put them out of business as soon as possible. 134 charges being investigated by the FBI and they signed a Consent Order not to run these types of businesses again. Once a crook, always a crook.

Janice is going to jail? Do tell more. She has always managed to put the blame off on others in her previous jobs. It would be amazing karma if she ended up with the short straw one time.

Hey all! I'm really excited because I finally have my hands on all the materials I need to begin the fun task of painting my helmet! Seeing as how I'm as green as grass when it comes to using an airbrush, I was hoping to maybe crowdsource some answers to a few questions I have, so any help would be much appreciated!
1. Is it okay to airbrush a layer of acrylic over a layer of enamel and vise versa? (assuming each layer is dried before applying the next)
2. What's best to thin acrylic paint with for airbrushing? I've read windex can be used, isopropyl alcohol, or distilled water, is there a preferred or will any do?
3. Best way to clean your brush in between uses? I hear paint thinner can be bad for inner gaskets in the brush and I have a bottle from Testors labeled "enamel thinner & airbrush cleaner", so I'm guessing that can naturally be used to clean, but also to thin enamel as well? Just looking for clarification on that one to make sure!
Those are the big questions I've got at the moment, any input from the more experienced airbrushers in the community would be very much appreciated!

What mechanical Fuel Pump?
I have a SBC 383 pushing over 500hp to the flywheel. I'm currently in the process of rebuilding the engine (ported my heads/new cam (solid roller) ect.. Well I was wanting to uprgrade my mechanical fuel pump to a better one. I don't want to go electric (yet). But was thinking of the following 2. I think the 110 GPH would be good. I like the 170 GPH but don't want to have to change over to AN fittings right now (both don't need regulators, which again I don't want to add. What are your thoughts? or is there a different one that might fit the bill. Again looking to stay away from regulators right now and electric.
1. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/HLY-12-327-25
2. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/HLY-12-327-11
I'm running a Holley (AED) 750
I have the high volume Edebrock mech pump. I have mixed reviews of it to date. It was on my engine for about two years and failed causing me to call a rollback wrecker to haul it home. Luckily when I purchased it I also purchased an overhaul kit. Once home I pulled the pump and installed the overhaul kit. So far it has been working fine, but if it fails again I will be going the electric pump route. In the day these Carter style mech pumps were bullet proof and never failed. I had one that was transfered to three engines and was still going strong when I sold the car. I do not know what has changed, but I have a sneaking suspicion it's cut rate parts.
I have the Ford version of this one - Carter. Have always used one with good luck. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/CRT-M6270/
SOunds good so far really thinking about the 170 GPH mechanical I showed.. needs no regulator but puts out really good. I plan on adding some nos in the future
Also with the hard lines I have now...How do I determine what size they are. I just measured with a digital scale it was 0.387, so what is that equal to??? Is that 6-an or 8.
That's a 3/8 or -6 in AN size. To and from the filter are the -6 lines:
(I wasn't done with the filter bracket in that photo as there is only one of 2 clamps shown)
I have had no problems with the Carters in the past.
If you are going to turn any rpm over 6500 or so make sure you get a lightweight fuel pump pushrod also so that you don't have problems with pump arm float, ARP has a nice one.
You will be asking a lot of a mechanical pump if you use nitrous and keep the stock 3/8" line size. Smarter move would be to add a second line and an electric pump for the nitrous, it does not like pulsed flow, steady flow is much better. Carter makes a nice quiet electric that would work well for this, and you would only have it on when you are going to be using the nitrous.
When you say to add a second line for the nitrous. Does that run from the tank to the carb or does it tie in some where. I do have a 6-an braided line that has a electric pump and a regulator with it, that was from another vehicle.
Yes, a complete seperate line and pump for the nitrous, from the tank to the solenoid.
Sometimes I think we lose sight of reality when sizing some of these components. Let's look at basics. Engineers will tell us that most engines will use 1/2 lb. of fuel per hour for each horsepower they produce. So, if you are making....say....525 horsepower, then multiplying 525 times .5 tells us that the motor will use 262.5 lbs. of fuel at full bore, pedal to the metal top speed. Since we know that gasoline weighs about 6 lbs. per gallon, we can divide 262.5 by 6 and find that the motor will be using 43.75 gallons per hour. Now, this is at full bore, wide open. How long will you run the motor like this? Probably not more than a few seconds. But we'll use the wide open figures to size the pump anyway. Just to be on the safe side though, we will double the fuel requirement and say that this particular motor needs 87.5 gallons per hour (43.75 times 2). That is the max volume of fuel needed to operate the motor at its full rating of 525 horsepower forever.
Realizing that we do not need a pump that will pump more than 87.5 gallons per hour to operate our world beater, we would look at a pump that would deliver that volume of fuel and do it at a pressure that would not overpower the needle and seat in the float bowl. A Holley carburetor will tolerate 6 1/2 lbs. of fuel pressure, but will operate well with a safety margin at 5 1/2 to 6 1/2 psi. Here is the pump for your motor. It is all you need....If you can show me math that says differently, I will gladly listen....
These other fellows are correct about configuring the nitrous system. Consider the carburetor as one complete system. Consider the nitrous as another complete system and plumb accordingly.
P.S. Use -8 lines (1/2 inch) everywhere.
I'm running a RobbMc fuel pump with a small roots blower. I got the one rated up to 1100hp. They're a little price but well worth it. Probably the last pump you'll ever buy.
