Birthday card to boyfriend
Nice and stylish greeting card to boyfriend!
Ideas for Cards| Materials:
- Black card stock
- Buttons
- Coloured paper
- Pan
- Glue, scissors
Ideas for Cards| Directions:
These two cards are just an example of how to make a nice diy greeting card for Father's Day or for birthday of your boyfriend.
The easiest way is just to draw "stitches" on the black card stock, imitating man's shirt. Cut out a piece of coloured paper in a shape of a tie, glue it on the "shirt", add a button and a clip.
The other way is to create a shirt using patterned paper.
Anyway, both cards look great and won't take too much time to make!

The entire list
February 16th, 2009: Ekin TV,
Adnan Oktar: We stopped those who wanted to cause conflict and corruption among Alawis and Sunnis. We clapped their tongues and they are now silent; they cannot speak from now on. Alawis and Sunnis are brothers; Kurds and Turks are brothers. THERE IS NO DISCRIMINATION BETWEEN RACE OR SECTS AMONG US. WE WILL COMPLETE THE BUILDING OF THE TURKISH -ISLAMIC UNION TOGETHER LIKE A WELL-BUILT WALL, INSHA'ALLAH. This is faith. No one can stop this.
September 30th 2008: Adana CRT TV
Adnan Oktar: For Muslims, Allah says; "...they are like well-built walls". So we will be together like we are soldered metal. Right wingers, left wingers, Alawites, Kurds, Laz, Circassian, Sunni; it doesn't matter, we are all brothers, we are all slaves of Allah. Allah leads all of us one way, we will respect the thoughts of the others. But unity and solidarity is essential.
The ones who love Allah, and who are in His Way, of course they are making an effort for this country to be better and more beautiful, and they will. Turkey will continue and the Turkish Islamic Union will be successful, insha'Allah.
September 21st, 2008: Irak An Anbar TV
Adnan Oktar: These will make us tight-knit. We are moving towards a joyful, beautiful wedding that will strengthen our bonds of brotherhood, insha'Allah. These are signs that the Mahdi's appearance is a matter of time. The return of the Prophet Jesus (pbuh) is also only a matter of time. It will be a beautiful collaboration. My Sunni and Shi'a brothers should strengthen their brotherhood and form a very beautiful bond. Jaffaris are very devoted people. Sunnis are very devoted. Alawis are very devoted. Arabs are our dear brothers and sisters: They are all of the lineage of the Prophet (saas). The Kurds are our brothers.
November 2nd, 2013: Time Turk
President of Religious Affairs Mr. Gormez said; " In order to prevent a new Karbala, I believe that without differentiating between sects, all Muslims in the world have to develop a common language, culture and thought."

I have an LC9 and I found it to be pretty accurate. The FTE's were a pain, but hopefully a trip to AZ will fix that.
.357 mag, When you care enough to send the very best!
About me: once a month shooter until recently. Aircrew training of the Beretta 92 in the air force (means i carried it all the freaking time, but was never required to be a crack shot. Just pass.)
As the title says, i joined specifically to express how great i think this ruger is. I've shopped for MONTHS, trying to pick my favourite CCW (note, i said MY FAV, not "the best") pistol. My original choice and original purchase was a Taurus 709. Felt great in my hands, shot pretty well at the range, seemed solid construction. Read about it all over the internet, overall consensus was extractor problems. I bought one anyways, used (IMPORTANT, i bought a used pistol. Accepted that risk. Who knows what happened to it beforehand.) Yup, 65 out of 100 rounds FTE. I still love the idea of the 709. It's an awesome gun. But i'm a poor college kid. I need something i never have to fiddle with, and of course, something i can rely on in that one rare situation.
Enter Ruger LC9. My distant second choice of CCW pistols. I was wrong to put this pistol second, let alone distant. I've put a whopping (sarcasm) 300 rounds through it so far. Dry fired it another 500 times i reckon (i love a new gun).
PRO: Earlier posts were correct in the trigger situation. It's long. It's heavy. But it's consistent. You learn the crisp, exact trigger distance and pull within a hundred rounds. In 300 (two visits to range, 150 per.) rounds... not so much as a hint of FTE/FTF, despite my bad habit of buying cheap ammo (read winchester white box from wally world). The grip is slim, that means less to hold onto for normal sized hands. That also means great carry conditions. Pick your priority. The rough checkered grip really does a lot for keeping a steady grip though, despite 100+ degree texas heat. The sights are just your basic 3 dot. Nothing crazy, not overly wide, not too narrow (yeah, sorry, that's very subjective.) Take down/reassembly is fairly simply. not quite glock simple, you need some sort of monkey-simple tool to push the pin out, but overall, doesn't take a gunsmith by any means. Something i feel is important... the manual safety. Many reviews i've read complain about the reverse direction of push/pull to engage/disengage the safety. I think it's wonderful. It's difficult to engage the safety, it's natural to disengage. It should be the standard in the industry of CCW. Accuracy is great... in other peoples hands. The fella that works at the range did some pretty impressive things with my gun. A rough estimate, 8 rounds in a palm size group at 45 feet. One more thing, i love that fact that it comes from the factory with both regular and extended mag grips.
CON: I don't really like the appearance of the gun. That, again, is VERY subjective. I feel that the gun is overpriced, but i'm a broke-***** college guy, and i feel the same way about the kel-tec and the taurus (i believe these are the main competitors to this gun, price and product in consideration). This is really silly... but the stupid zipper bag they package the gun in? C'mon ruger.... i just paid $400 for your gun. give me a hard case that costs you 5 bucks. That thing is in the trash. Maybe that's the standard these days. This is the first brand new handgun i've purchased.
Sorry this rambled on so long.
The only way I could hit anything with the LC9 trigger was if I pulled the trigger with the crease of my first finger joint instead of the pad. After I did this I could hit where I aimed. I'm still getting the trigger kit though...LOL!

Science writer Carl Zimmer has posted his notes from last night's New York Academy of Sciences "Dual Use Research: H5N1 Influenza Virus and Beyond" panel discussion on his blog The Loom. Zimmer's notes and observations reveal a real split in the science community over whether research on the airborne transmissibility of H5N1 between ferrets should be published or not. At issue is whether the full publication of the research could have dire consequences if it falls into the wrong hands versus the impact potential censorship of science would have on the research community at large.
"The New York Academy of Sciences brought together a group of experts to talk about new virus, and whether self-censorship is a prudent protection or a dangerous precedent. I wasn't sure what to expect; I was a bit worried it might have turned out to be a fairly dry discussion of how to inspect the hood equipment in virus labs. Instead, we witnessed explosive confrontation between scientists who think we may be facing a world-destroying catastrophe, and others who think our fear of non-existent threats is going to destroy science's power to help us out of clear and present dangers."
W. Ian Lipkin, MD, Center for Infection & Immunity at Columbia University, moderated the panel discussion with Arturo Casadevall, MD, PhD, Albert Einstein College of Medicine, and member, NSABB; Laurie Garrett, PhD, Council on Foreign Relations; Barbara R. Jasny, PhD, Science; Veronique Kiermer, PhD, Nature Publishing Group; Michael T. Osterholm, PhD, MPH, Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy, University of Minnesota, and member, NSABB; Peter Palese, PhD, Mount Sinai School of Medicine; Vincent Racaniello, PhD, Columbia University; and Alan S. Ruldolph, PhD, Defense Threat Reduction Agency.

The Fev contract dispute took an interesting turn yesterday when after comments where made about his behaviour in the contact negotiations and in his attidue in that he was huging and smiling with Saints players directly after his sides loss to them, Brendon decide off his own bat to call the station and confront the rumors (this interview is about).
Brett Ratten (Carlton Coach) on other radio stations put an Ultimatum to Fev. If you want to be with us, sign, if you don't we will move on.
Ratten issued an ultimatum to Fevola that he should sign a contract extension or chase money elsewhere, but the star forward hit back on a rival station, denying he was "shopping myself around" and declaring there was "no way I'll be leaving Carlton".
Ratten lays it on the line for Fev | Herald Sun
From Fev's comments, he will definitely be a Blue next year and the contract will get done. He also touches on other matters about his game.

"These are better than expected. I didn't want to spend a lot and therefore went with a postcard and they are really cute. Nice paper quality. Very pleased. I always turn to Tiny Prints for my printing needs and am never disappointed."
"We used these announcements for an elderly aunt who we had to move into assisted living. We wanted something cheerful and this fit the bill: so bright and happy! Since we were on a budget, I loved that you could "downgrade" to a straight edge and eliminate any extra costs; but I thought all of the edging options looked great. I also liked that the text was 100% customizable. These arrived faster than I expected and were the usual good quality card stock. I highly recommend."
"Ordered 100 of these moving announcements in the navy color. We love them!! They are beautiful and elegant looking, unlike other moving announcements that I looked at. It is a postcard which we like. Highly recommend these."
"The bluish background color had a more retro feel when I received it, but it looked great. Have had nice feedback from friends who received it."
"The cards were excellent and artistically appealing. It was a quick way to notify a lot of people and saved us a lot of time."

A simple spider craft that's great for Halloween, made with egg cartons, googly eyes, pipe cleaners, and paint! Note that the actual assembly time is short for this project, but you'll need to factor in time to let the paint dry.
Cut a cell out of the egg carton. This will be your spider's body.
Paint the outside of the egg carton with black paint and let the paint dry. Then punch holes on the sides of each spider body for the legs.

The Atlanta Hawks opened up the new era with Danny Ferry as general manager with a resounding…splat. The table was set for the Hawks in the 2012 NBA draft to us oft-mentioned trade bait Josh Smith as way to move up from the 23rd overall pick in the draft, or to deal him in return for some immediate team needs. The Hawks did neither.
Instead, Atlanta stood pat with the two picks they had, and did nothing to address some glaring needs in the frontcourt.
In taking Vanderbilt guard John Jenkins with the 23rd pick, the Hawks bascially added another below average, undersized athlete for the two-guard spot. It would seem with his size, Jenkins will have trouble getting shots off against bigger, more athletic opponents in the NBA.
Jenkins' stats between his sophomore and junior years at Vanderbilt were nearly identical – there was a slight improvement in 3-point shooting percentage – but one troubling stat for Jenkins is a mere 1.1 assists per game. The last thing the Hawks need is another guard accustomed to playing "hero ball".
Defensively, Jenkins has a number of issues and limitations, as he has shown a lack of the quickness needed to stay in front of guards. This will obviously translate into more of a problem defending in the NBA.
At best I feel like the Hawks landed an excellent jump-shooter to come off the bench in Jenkins.
With the 43rd pick, the Hawks selected power forward Mike Scott out of Virginia. At 6'8″ and 235 lbs, Scott is another undersized player, especially for an NBA power forward, and he isn't nearly quick enough to consistently guard NBA small forwards. (sound familiar?)
In size and skill set, Scott most resembles Miami Heat power forward Udonis Haslem, but with only a fraction of the raw talent. Scott is an excellent rebounder, but shows weakness in his ability to block shots and create steals.
I look at Scott as a reach, and a possible project. He's another piece of the puzzle for the Hawks bench, and could be an eventual replacement for Marvin Williams.
Obviously there is still time before the season begins for GM Danny Ferry to make trades and moves, but I would have liked to have seen the Hawks do more to solidify the starting five on draft night.
My grade for the Hawks 2012 draft: C-

Ethnic Studies: Issues and Approaches
This highly readable book offers the first comprehensive definition of the field of ethnic studies, covering both the major issues of the field and its theoretical and methodological approaches. Ethnic Studies traces the origins and evolution of the discipline in the United States and maps its domain. The majority of the work considers central issues in ethnicity such as identity, stratification, adaptation, discrimination, racism, segregation, conflict, ethnicity and politics; and race, class and gender. For each issue, key concepts are introduced, main dimensions outlined, empirical evidence presented, theoretical approaches discussed, and often an alternative perspective is suggested.
Yang highlights several current issues in ethnic studies such as affirmative action, illegal/legal immigration, and bilingual education and the English-only movement. He concludes that rather than a divisive force, ethnic studies is, and should be, a discipline that enhances our understanding of ethnic groups and their interrelations and strengthens interethnic and national unity based on ethnic diversity.

Best Of :: Arts & Entertainment
Usually, large ensembles who throw themselves with frenetic abandon into a fast-paced, no-holds-barred comic romp get all the praise. They're all on the same energized track and sustain that momentum through an entire performance. But the four actors in Bill Cain's crisis-of-religious-and-familial-faith play at South Coast Repertory worked as a razor-tight ensemble fused through masterful performances that worked like different pieces of a clock without ever missing a tick. Tyler Pierce, as a conflicted priest, and the always wondrous Linda Gehringer, as his dying mother, played the main characters, but their relationship was only heightened by the presence of Aaron Blakely and Jeff Biehl. Each character was sharply defined, but instead of solitary trees standing on their own, they coalesced under Ken Nicholson's stellar direction into a dense canopy far greater than the sum of its parts.
Tired of the kids making a mess as they play fort in the living room? Take them to this miniature city, all within the confines of an industrial park building, and let them make a mess there. Kids from infants to 8-year-olds will go wild as they debate Obamacare in the mini-doctors' offices sponsored by Kaiser Permanente; perform an avant-garde play in the small theater; farm plastic fruit and vegetables with rakes and baskets; create a masterpiece at an art studio; build stuff while wearing goggles and orange vests at the construction site; go fishing and build boats at the marina; shop at a tiny Ralphs; go to the beach, where there are lots of sand and buckets and beach chairs—wherever their imaginations take them. It's a living hell if you don't have (or can't stand) children, but an educational, relatively cheap excursion that helps build an active interior life in your child. Better than a night at Chuck E. Cheese.
Last time we visited BC Space in Laguna Beach, we got a personal tour after the closing of the "Capital Crime$" group exhibition. Several pieces had been removed already, leaving sad, empty holes, but photographer/political activist/gallery owner Mark Chamberlain filled us in on what was missing, walking us through what was left. Art is everywhere once you climb the stairs—in every corner and every room. Even the bathroom has something to look at while you're doing your business. The money Chamberlain makes as a commercial photographer subsidizes the tough, topical, completely non-commercial work hidden in the upstairs gallery . . . all in a shopping area of downtown Laguna where you wouldn't even notice it if you didn't know it was there. And now you do. Per the website, "Gallery hours are irregular and event driven, but appointments for viewing may easily be arranged by contacting the gallery." Call now.
While the Laguna Art Museum continues to give it a run for its money each year, the Orange County Museum of Art's first exhibition of 2013—"Richard Jackson: Ain't Painting a Pain," curated by Dennis Szakacs—was so amazing it nailed the honor this year in mid-February. Exhilarating, thoughtful, angry and subversive, it's a travesty Jackson's fantastic body of work didn't get one of these earlier. The museum's second exhibition—curator Dan Cameron's downsized and retitled "2013 California-Pacific Triennial"—is just as adventurous, offering people walking through its doors a veritable roller-coaster ride of art from the Pacific Rim.
Did you know there's a Joan Miro-cast bronze statue in the lobby of a Costa Mesa office building? Yeah, neither did we. But now that we do, we can't take our eyes off it. It's described as a "bird" by various websites, but we know Miro's work. The Spanish Surrealist was as obsessed with sex as we are. Take a long hard look at the statue. It ain't no bird.
Fox's mixed-media, socially conscious painting is heavy on black outlines separating figures from their backgrounds, his people often caught in a colorful nature scene at odds with the technology: umbrellas don't work, businessmen swirl down into whirlpools while still talking on cell phones, butterflies sniff at lost electronics, obese birds sit at the top of collapsing staircases. His 3D figures often lift and separate from their place on the canvases, rising above, possibly escaping. If we had a Kebe Fox coloring book as a kid, we'd be much cooler than we are now.

There are several easy ways to pay your fees. All payments should be made in pounds sterling (£). See below for home currency options for international students.
Accommodation and tuition fees can only be paid by instalment if you have a valid direct debit set up with the University. A separate direct debit must be set up for each of these fee types.
This can be setup online during enrolment or at any other time using our secure site: www.kingston.ac.uk/epay.
Payment via this method enables you to spread your payments in line with the University's instalment plan, and there is no charge for paying in this way. You will need a valid UK bank or building society account that allows direct debit transactions. The instalments will be collected automatically from your chosen account on the due dates.
You will receive an email confirmation once your direct debit has been accepted and this will be sent to your Kingston University email address. If you do not receive your confirmation you should contact the Income and Receivables team to ensure that your direct debit instruction has been received.
Remember: Payment by instalment is only possible where a valid direct debit is in place. Your direct debit must be in place at least 10 days prior to the instalment date for us to collect the payment directly from your account. Ensure you have enough money in the account on the due dates, otherwise your bank may make a charge to your account for every default.
It is your responsibility to check that your direct debit has been activated. If you wish to cancel your direct debit all you are doing is removing the option to pay by instalments. You will then be required to pay the outstanding balance in full immediately.
The most convenient way to pay your fees is by using the University's secure payment website: www.kingston.ac.uk/epay
You can pay using cards that display these symbols:
If you are unable to access the internet and you are the authorised cardholder, the University will be able to take a payment over the phone if you ring +44 (0)20 8328 7005.
You can ask your bank to transfer funds in pounds sterling (£) directly to the University's bank account. Your bank may charge you for this transfer and you will need to make it clear that the University is to receive the pounds sterling (£) amount in full (ie excluding charges). Always quote your student ID number and your name to ensure we are able to identify your payment.
The University's bank account details are:
International students: please note that your bank will probably ask you for the name and address of the University's bank – see above.
New for 2016 – Kingston University offers to international students, their families or sponsors an opportunity to make payment of their tuition fees in their local currency via Kingston University bank transfer platform powered by Western Union Business Solutions.
The platform is translated in eight languages; French, Spanish, Korean, Indonesian, Cantonese, Mandarin, English and Hindi, which enables you to have the instructions in your chosen language.
Steps to make a payment:
All cheques must be payable to 'Kingston University' for the full amount. We only accept cheques drawn on a UK bank or building society account. We are not able to accept or Travellers cheques. Please note that cheques, including parental and company cheques, are not classed as cleared funds.
Please write your student ID and name on the back of the cheque.
The draft must be payable to: "Kingston University" for the full amount. We can only accept drafts that are drawn on a UK bank account. Paying by bank or building society draft is treated as cleared funds.
International students please note: where a bank draft has been issued outside of the United Kingdom it is important to remember that the issuing bank must formally notify the drawing bank of the draft. Failure to do so will result in the bank draft not being credited to the University. This will have an impact on your enrolment status and could affect your visa if studying on a Tier 4 visa.
For your safety and security we do not advise you to pay with cash. Please do not send cash by post or by courier, nor give money to someone else to pay for you. If it is your only option, payment can be made at the payment office on the ground floor of Cooper House. It is important that you keep your receipt as proof of payment.
Cleared funds: Payments made by debit or credit card, bank draft (as specified above), electronic bank transfer and cash are all regarded as cleared funds.
If the University suspects that a card payment may be fraudulent, we reserve the right to immediately suspend access to IT and library facilities and we may refer the matter to the police. You will be subject to the University's Student Disciplinary Procedure.

Last night at church one of the ladies there was telling me about and incident several years ago. It seems that someone was trying to aggravate, scare or spook her. She thinks it may have been her sister-in-law but that is another story. For awhile someone kept rearranging things in her yard or carport, ringing the doorbell, scratching on the doors and windows and all sorts of things. It became quite distrubing to her and her neighbor. One morning her neighbor told her that she had gotten a gun and the next time she saw anyone in the yard or carport she was going to shoot and it was not an idle threat.
Well the lasy from my church was talking on the phone with one of dthe local busybodies the next day and told her about the neighbor getting a gun and promising to shoot whoever she saw in the yard. She knew that word would probably get to the person doing the aggravating. For some strange reason the scare tactics stopped and she never had another incident after that phone call. Just the mere threat of being shot seemed to take care of the situation although the neighbor was ready to shoot someone.

LOL... that reminds me of a time a long time ago when my parents had left me and my sisters home alone.
There was some ruckus outside and some scrapping and banging and my sisters were panicking.
I remembered that my brother had a pair of night-vision goggles he had bought before leaving for the Navy. I told my sisters to turn off all the lights, to come up stairs to my brother's room and we'd hide out in there with the goggles and see if we couldn't get a good look at whoever was outside.
I was digging through my brother's closet when we heard a very recognizable voice say, "Don't get the guns!"
It was some friends of theirs from high school messing around with us.
One of them said it was all in good fun until he happened to peak through the window and see me digging through the closet. It finally dawned on him that we were a family of shooters and it was very likely we were done playing cat and mouse. He decided it was time to give himself up before we started shooting.

Thatcham Today
Thatcham Broadway early 1900s
Thatcham Today
Socially and economically there have been some very important developments in Thatcham over the last two centuries.
Since 1900, industry has been attracted to the area. The Colthrop Board Mills (closed down in 2000), where paper had been produced for over 200 years, grew very quickly, particularly after its acquisition by the worldwide Reed Paper Group. The Sterling Cable Works was established nearby and AWE Aldermaston and AERE Harwell, together with the RLC Depot at Station Road, (which sadly closed down in 1999) have all brought employment and increasing prosperity to the area. This growth has in turn brought a further influx of population and has attracted numerous businesses to the town.
The development of industrial sites on the eastern side of the town introduced nationally known names such as Sony, B.O.C. Transhield, Thermalite, Panasonic and the A.A. Operations Centre to Thatcham.
Town centre facilities were greatly enhanced in 1997 when a town centre improvement scheme was carried out in the Broadway and the High Street. Shopping facilities include two supermarkets in the town centre and associated smaller retail outlets in arcades which supplement businesses already established in the town.

Merle, Brindle and Piebald Miniature Pinschers do exist. The Harlequin Pinscher Association is a registry that has shows
I always come across people saying that there is no such thing as pure bred brindle, merle or piebald Miniature Pinschers. This is not true. It is a fairly new breed established in 2007. They are referred to as Harlequin Pinschers- which is just the fancy name for our fancy min pins. (We know they are not actually harlequin in marking) Yes, there is a one time cross with a merle, brindle or piebald Rat terrier in the beginning. 7 generations of hard work and breeding the marked offspring back to a solid min pin and boom: a 99% DNA proven merle, brindle or piebald Miniature Pinscher that we refer to as a Harlequin Pinscher. Its the same as every other pure bred dog in the world that has markings, those were introduced into the breed as well in the beginnings sometime down the line. There are many different kinds of dogs that arent accepted by AKC, even dilutes because some breeders wont test for alopecia. Just because AKC doesnt accept a certain breed, doesnt mean its not a pure bred.

Ask anybody around the BYU football program which players that Duane Busby was closest to and three names will invariably come up: receiver Cody Hoffman, linebacker Kyle Van Noy and reserve tight end Richard Wilson.
Busby, the former director of football operations who abruptly resigned on March 24 after 18 years serving in that capacity, is the focus of an ongoing investigation at BYU regarding alleged distribution of improper benefits, as you can read in this report in today's Salt Lake Tribune.
Hoffman's manager told two Salt Lake City radio stations on Wednesday that Hoffman denies receiving any impermissible benefits from BYU. Sam Leaf said the only thing Hoffman remembers getting from Busby was a pair of socks that probably came from the equipment room.<

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- JaMychal Green and No. 16 Alabama set the tone on Detroit's first two possessions.
The Titans missed three shots the first time down the court, two on the second and plenty more after that.
Green scored 21 points and the Crimson Tide went back to its stingy ways in rebounding from a two-game losing streak with a 62-54 victory over Detroit on Sunday night.

|Related links
"It was a point for us to come and jump on them early," Green said. "Coming back from the last game, we didn't defend at all and that's why we lost."
Tony Mitchell added 15 points and freshman Nick Jacobs chipped in 13 in his first start for the Tide (8-2), which returned to a more characteristic defensive form after losses to Georgetown and at Dayton.
Alabama had allowed a season-high 74 points and 61 percent shooting against Dayton, but played much stouter defense from the start in this one.
Detroit (5-7) missed its first 11 shots over nearly the opening 7 minutes.
"The last two teams came in and they punched us in the mouth," Mitchell said. "We just wanted to come out and be the one to punch them in the mouth.
"The stuff we usually do, we just wanted to get back to that, just play great defense and get out and run."
They still couldn't run away with the game.
Detroit trailed by 22 points late in the first half and failed to approach its 75.9-point scoring average. The Titans shot 32 percent (17 of 53) and missed all 12 3-point attempts.
"I was disappointed in our slow start," Detroit coach Ray McCallum Sr. said. "Alabama had a lot to do with it. They came out focused and got us back on our heels.
"It took us a while to settle down and find a rhythm. We got caught up playing their game."
Green made 7 of 9 from the field and 7 of 8 from the free throw line for the Tide. Mitchell also had eight rebounds and four dunks, three on alley-oop passes.
Detroit's Ray McCallum Jr. scored 13 points after going into halftime without making a field goal, while Doug Anderson added 12 and Chase Simon had 10 on 2-of-11 shooting.
Lamarcus Lowe was only 1 of 7 from the field for four points but also grabbed 10 rebounds.
"I felt like as always it had to start for us on the defensive end," Tide coach Anthony Grant said. "I felt like this was a very dangerous team walking into our building.
"We knew the challenge walking in and I thought our guys came out, especially in the first half, with great intensity, great focus, great unselfishness."
Alabama opened its biggest lead late in the first half before Detroit finished with six straight free throws to start a 19-6 run extending well beyond halftime.
Green and Mitchell combined to outscore the Titans by a point in building a 38-22 halftime lead as the Tide held its sixth opponent in the first 10 games below 25 points in the first half.
The Detroit spurt cut it to 44-35 9 minutes into the second. Alabama had four turnovers and two ugly misses on consecutive possessions before cleaning up its act.
Green made 3 of 4 free throws with Anderson drawing his fourth foul on a technical, and then Mitchell hit a 3-pointer from the top of the key.
The elder McCallum wasn't sure what sparked the official's call in front of Alabama's bench.
"I never did get an explanation," he said. "It was a momentum swing for them. I didn't see anything and my player said he didn't do anything."
Added Grant, "I don't know what the technical foul was for."
The Titans didn't push it back into single digits until Anderson's putback with 1:08 left but they couldn't get any closer.
The 6-foot-8, 250-pound Jacobs gave Alabama a bigger starting lineup in replacing fellow freshman Rodney Cooper. He blocked a couple of shots but didn't have a rebound.
"I felt like Nick earned it with what he's done on the practice court and being able to transfer that to the game," Grant said. "I thought he brought a physicality and a presence down low. I thought he did a pretty good job on the defensive end."

Baltimore Rehab:
Socially Responsible Development
By Tom Liebel | From Main Street Story of the Week | April 2009 | 260
|Main Street News PDF - 2009/04
There's a new model for sustainability coming to Baltimore. Miller's Court is the culmination of a local developer's vision for socially responsible development. The Miller's Court developer, Seawall Development Company, is led by a father and son team, Donald and Thibault Manekin. Donald developed a passion for helping Baltimore City Public Schools after volunteering to serve as the school system's interim chief financial officer from 2002 to 2004; he saw an opportunity to help the city through building design.
The Manekins realized they could help Baltimore schools by building a supportive environment for Teach for America participants working in the Baltimore City Public School System. Teach for America is a program that encourages recent college graduates to work in underserved schools across America for two years.
One of the challenges expressed by many program participants is the sense of isolation they sometimes feel – moving to an unfamiliar city, learning how to teach, learning how to engage children from distressed environments – which leaves some of these teachers feeling depressed and ultimately causes them to drop out of the program. By creating a supportive environment where the teachers feel like they belong to a community, the Manekins are working to reduce the dropout rate from the program.
Rehab: Environmental Sustainability
With this in mind, the developers set out to find a property that would support their vision. Eventually, they chose the historic H.F. Miller & Sons Tin Box and Can Manufacturing Plant. Located in a transitional neighborhood in northern Baltimore, the property had been sitting vacant for nearly 20 years, occupied only by squatters, graffiti artists, and pigeons.
Constructed in stages between 1874 and 1910, the facility was an active can manufacturing site until the 1950s. After that, the building was leased as inexpensive industrial/flex space until the final tenant, the United States Census Bureau moved out in the mid-1990s. The property was not only an ideal space; it was in an ideal location, situated near the headquarters of the Baltimore City Public Schools, and a mere four blocks away from the Johns Hopkins University School of Education, where many Teach for America participants earn their master's degrees while teaching in the city school system.
Through a combination of historic preservation tax credits and enterprise zone credits, the structure is now being redeveloped (on a tight budget) as a mixed-use facility for which the developers are seeking LEED-NC Gold Certification. What makes this facility unique, however, is not its focus on environmental and economic sustainability, but its focus on social sustainability.
Social Sustainability
Approximately 35,000 square feet of space has been redeveloped as offices for nonprofit groups that support Baltimore's public schools. About 40,000 square feet is being used for below-market rent apartments targeted at Teach for America participants. Through extensive interviews and surveys of these teachers, the developers came up with a series of key design elements to create a supportive, collaborative environment for the residents and tie the building into the surrounding community.
One of the keys to promoting social sustainability is to create an environment that lets people interact with one another, without forcing them to socialize. One of the best ways to create places that will engage a building's occupants is to provide spaces that they will want to use. An easy way to find out what occupants might want is to ask potential tenants what they would like to see in the building. The conversations the Miller's Court developers had with prospective tenants had a significant impact on the final building.
One of the design team's initial concepts included two common laundry rooms, which have proven to be more ecologically friendly – people tend to do fewer, larger loads at public laundries; and commercial, coin-operated machines use significantly less water and electricity than those in private residences. The designers thought common laundry rooms would give residents a chance to "hang out" and chat while they were doing their laundry. Interestingly, potential residents strongly objected to this concept, saying that common laundries made the building feel like a college dormitory and they felt that they had left "dorm life" in the past.
On the other hand, through ongoing discussions with prospective tenants, the design and development team learned that many Teach for America participants spend a lot of time in local copy shops because their schools don't have the equipment for them to make the copies they need for their classes. So in place of one of the proposed common laundry rooms, the design team inserted a workroom with a high-volume copier so the tenants don't have to make late night runs to the copy store. Instead, they can make copies at home and chat with other tenants while using the workroom.
The project also made use of its limited outdoor space by creating an inner courtyard designed to encourage both office and residential tenants to spend time outdoors. The old loading dock for the complex has been retained as a seating area with a new fire pit installed; and the central court has been reconfigured as a bocce court.
Other elements of outreach include working with local artists and a sculpture studio from the Maryland Institute College of Art to create site-specific art pieces that utilize elements removed from the building during redevelopment and engaging the neighborhood to discuss the history of the building as it relates to the neighborhood.
Economic Sustainability
An innovative, energy-efficient mechanical system was employed in the project as well. By creatively approaching heating and cooling, the developers produced a 32.6 percent savings in energy for the building, which yielded nine points toward the anticipated LEED-NC Gold certification. In analyzing the energy model it was confirmed that during the heating season the office component of the facility would still be a net generator of heat and need cooling, while the apartments would require heat to maintain occupant comfort. As a result, the design team re-evaluated the options for new mechanical systems in the building.
In lieu of conventional heating and cooling systems, consisting of roof top air handlers feeding a variable air volume (VAV) distribution for the commercial office space and individual air-source heat pumps for each residential apartment, the developers selected an alternate system that uses an energy recovery unit. Placed on the office exhaust air system, this unit captures the waste heat generated by the commercial office areas and then feeds it into a condenser water line serving heat pumps in each residential unit. This creative approach to serving the mechanical needs of the building also eliminated the need to place 40 individual residential compressor/condenser units in a tightly constrained urban site.
Multifaceted Sustainability
Another way the project has approached sustainability from a variety of perspectives is in the design and programming of the commercial office space. Recognizing that most organizations need occasional access to conference and meeting rooms, the developers requested that the basement level be designed as flexible meeting space, consisting of six individual meeting rooms that can be opened up into two large meeting venues. Tenants schedule meeting space when they need it and can request space to accommodate anywhere from two to more than 100 participants.
This decision had several positive benefits – in terms of social sustainability, it provides yet more opportunities for people to mingle with individuals from other organizations that have similar goals. Also, by providing meeting space on an "as-needed" basis, the project allows tenants to rent fewer square feet of office space because they don't need conference rooms. This saves the tenants money, allowing them to provide more services within their limited budgets. The developer was also able to lease to more groups, because each group required less space. The building was completely pre-leased six months before completion and the developers already have a waiting list for the next project they are considering.
As is true of so many other adaptive-use projects, this building rehabilitation removed a neighborhood blight, which in turn spurred investment in the surrounding area. Since the rehabilitation, an interesting cycle has developed. Improvements to the rehabilitated structures led to improvements throughout their neighborhoods, which are now leading to further improvements to the originally developed properties, with higher-end tenants moving into the ground-level retail and upper-level office spaces as they become available.

On October 14, 2015, Dr Patrick Moore delivered the Global Warming Policy Foundation annual lecture in London. An ecologist and environmentalist for more than 45 years, Moore was one of the founding members and a leader of Greenpeace. After 15 years he left the organization because he felt its mission and message had changed. "Over the years the 'peace' in Greenpeace was gradually lost and my organization, along with much of the environmental movement, drifted into a belief that humans are the enemies of the earth." Since then, Dr. Moore has been a consistent voice for sanity in ecological matters. In his address he asserts that CO2 is not evil rather it is the currency of life and the most important building block for all life on Earth. Human emissions of carbon dioxide have helped save plant life on our planet. "We are not the enemy of nature but its salvation," he proclaimed.
Burning Dinosaurs & CO2Submitted by Doug L. Hoffman on Tue, 06/16/2015 - 11:45
The Triassic–Jurassic boundary 200 million years ago marked the beginning of the dinosaurs' dominance of the entire planet. Following the worst ever extinction event at the end of the Permian, 252 mya, dinosaurs started showing up in the fossil record around 245 mya but did not spread to all areas of the globe until the end of the Triassic. A new study in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) posits one possible explanation for why the spread of dinosaurs was stymied. Sadly, this interesting but not conclusive report was immediately seized upon by climate alarmists as a cautionary tale about atmospheric CO2 levels. A news item in Science online labels modern levels "alarming" and implies that a fiery fate, like the one that held the dinosaurs at bay for so long ago, awaits us all.
A Hell Of A Time During The HadeanSubmitted by Doug L. Hoffman on Wed, 07/30/2014 - 14:14
Back at the beginning of Earth's existence there was a time known as the Hadean Eon—Hadean as in Hades, or hell. The history of the Hadean Earth (~4.0–4.5 billion years ago) is poorly understood because rocks from that time have not survived. The oldest known rocks are little older than ~3.8 billion years. A new paper in the journal Nature attempts to shed some new light on the least known part of Earth's distant past. Researchers have long speculated about the conditions on Earth in the first 500 million years after the planet's formation, some 4.5 billion years ago. The researchers report that, according to their model, the early Earth is likely to have been hit by up to four asteroids, each capable of snuffing out fledgling life and completely resurfacing the planet.
The Turning Of The TideSubmitted by Doug L. Hoffman on Tue, 03/25/2014 - 13:52
Supporters of the CO2 driven theory of anthropogenic global warming (CAGW) are in full panic mode. The continued hiatus in global temperature increase has led to a flurry of statements denying "the pause," as climate scientists have named it. This new denialism even extends to international organizations like the WHO, that just recently claimed that global warming had not ceased, even though numerous organizations—including Britain's Meteorological Office, NASA, and the IPCC—have admitted that it has. Among climate change true believers there is a scramble on to "find the missing heat" that would explain the pause. Strangely, among these practitioners of group think there is no consensus about the cause of the pause. At the same time, the IPCC is about to release its latest screed regarding climate change and the leaks have been flowing fast and furious, saying there is dissent in the land of consensus. This may well be the turning of the tide on the greatest scientific hoax in history.
Avoiding A Frozen EarthSubmitted by Doug L. Hoffman on Fri, 03/21/2014 - 14:47
Forty million years ago, Earth began slipping from a "hothouse" climate to an "icehouse" climate. Currently the planet is in a brief warm interlude know as an interglacial—a period of retreating ice sheets and shrinking glaciers. As the word interglacial suggests, our current comfortable climate is not permanent, but merely a pause between frigid ice age conditions. Though climate alarmists and media talking heads continue to natter on about uncontrollable rising temperatures a more devastating climate change would be a descent into an ice age so cold and so deep that the entire globe freezes over—it has happened before. A new scientific paper reveals what researchers say is a feedback mechanism that acts as a natural thermostat and keeps Earth from cooling to the point of uninhabitability.
The Tyranny Of Climate ChangeSubmitted by Doug L. Hoffman on Tue, 11/19/2013 - 15:44
The current interglacial warm period, the Holocene, started ∼11,500 years ago. At its start, among the dramatic changes in climate was a notable increase in rainfall, triggered by summer insolation values higher than those of today. This caused what is called the African Humid Period in North Africa—a time when the Sahara was dotted with large and small lakes, savannah grasslands, and in some regions, humid tropical forests and shrubs. The African Humid Period ended abruptly ∼5000 ybp (years before present) in many locations, such as western North Africa and northern Kenya. In other places, such as the central Sahara and the southern Arabian Peninsula, change occurred more gradually, taking several millennia. Regardless of the pace of change, those areas are tracts of arid desert today, and the animals and humans who had previously thrived in those formerly verdant regions have either moved or had to adapt to much harsher conditions. This is but one example of nature at its most capricious—the tyranny of climate change.

Climate change has become the go to excuse for anything bad happening in the environment. Legions of climate scientists have issued dire warnings regarding the consequences of man's profligate use of fossil fuels. So common have these pronouncements become that news reporters and politicians have taken to blaming all things judged out of the ordinary on global warming. This fits the agendas of many, since global warming is supposedly caused by human activity and human activity is linked to greed, avarice and big business. But the doomsayers should take care, for there have been other times when experts have warned humanity that its evil ways have brought the world to the edge of perdition. Does anyone these days remember over population?
Sentinel: A Plan to Save EarthSubmitted by Doug L. Hoffman on Wed, 08/28/2013 - 09:16
A 17-meter-wide asteroid that no one saw coming exploded in February near Chelyabinsk, Russia, blazing across the sky and television screens world wide. Efforts have been made to identify asteroids larger than a kilometer—objects large enough to threaten life on Earth. Hollywood has cranked out dozens of cheesy asteroid collision movies, some bad and others worse, but none capture the magnitude of the actual threat from near Earth objects (NEOs). There may be a million asteroids with masses greater than ocean liners in Earth-approaching orbits, nearly all of which remain undiscovered and their courses uncharted. Now, a private foundation wants to build Sentinel, a satellite containing an infrared telescope that would be able to detect a half-million orbiting objects from a vantage point near Venus. Is this a project too important to trust to government agencies like NASA and the ESA?
Acrimony Among Anthropocene AgitatorsSubmitted by Doug L. Hoffman on Sat, 05/04/2013 - 09:45
Most people have never heard of the Anthropocene era and with good reason—it is not an officially recognized geologic time period. It is the invention of a small group of scientific busy bodies who evidently have nothing better to do than try to effect a change in the official timeline of Earth's past. The International Commission on Stratigraphy, the body charged with formally designating geological time periods, has been petitioned in the past and just recently a group of chuckle-heads attending the Society for American Archaeology meetings in Hawaii have brought the idea up again. Only problem is, the proponents of the Anthropocene have fallen to arguing amongst themselves—when did the "Age of Man" really start?
Red Planet in PerilSubmitted by Doug L. Hoffman on Tue, 03/19/2013 - 14:13
Recent comet sightings and the fiery path blazed across Russian skies by a large meteor have people pondering the possibility of a collision between Earth and some other heavenly body. Lost in the discussion is news from NASA that Mars is on schedule for a close encounter of its own in 2014, and the visiting comet may actually strike the red planet. Comet C/2013 A1 (Siding Spring) will be rendezvousing with Mars in October 2014, most likely passing by the planet at roughly the height of an earthly communication satellite. Estimates of the minimum distance between planet and comet range from about 100,000 km and 0, meaning a collision. If the comet does collide with Mars it is estimated the blast will be equivalent to that of a billion megatons of TNT. It would be an event of the same magnitude as the impact that killed off the dinosaurs 65 million years ago.
Ice UnknownSubmitted by Doug L. Hoffman on Tue, 02/19/2013 - 11:47
It's everywhere on Earth, on the other planets and moons of the solar system, and even in comets from deep space. It is the frozen form of water, commonly called ice. Something so ubiquitous and familiar, one would think that science knows a lot about ice. It turns out science knows less than we might suppose. In a commentary in the journal Nature, an ice scientist raises ten open questions about ice. For example, the article states: "We cannot predict with certainty when and where ice clouds will form in the atmosphere; areas of the sky remain humid when we would expect them to freeze." Ice is a fundamental part of Earth's climate, yet these questions and others remain unanswered. How can climate science claim to predict the fate of the polar ice sheets or mountain glaciers when we do not really understand the substance that they are made of?
The Prophet Al Gore, Blessings Be Upon HimSubmitted by Doug L. Hoffman on Wed, 01/09/2013 - 13:02
Just when it seems that public figures can sink no lower, be more cynical, act more duplicitous, a news story comes along that plumbs new depths in ideological betrayal. And so it was this week when the shocked staff at Current TV was called to an all hands staff meeting. They were informed that the Current TV network, supposedly a bulwark of liberal green thought holding back the barbarian hoards from FOX and talk radio, had been sold to those leading mideast liberals at Al Jazeera. Former Vice President and self styled eco-prophet Al Gore has made himself a much, much richer man by doing what the political class has done since the dawn of human history—sell out to the other side.
Arctic Ice Confounds ModelsSubmitted by Doug L. Hoffman on Sun, 09/30/2012 - 14:30
Heralded far and wide as a harbinger of global climate change, this year's record Arctic ice melt has the uninformed climate alarmists celebrating and the more knowledgeable scratching their heads. You see, this summer's ice retreat was predicted by no computer model and few scientists even though it possible. While climate scientists ponder what is wrong with their theories nature has carried on—no fuss, no muss, no drama. Circulation patterns are shifting and living creatures from zooplankton to megafauna are taking the change in stride. What has flummoxed environmental scientists is the simple and now demonstrated fact that successful life forms have a common trait—they are adaptable, something many scientists are not.
We're Still StandingSubmitted by Doug L. Hoffman on Fri, 09/14/2012 - 12:50
A study of ancient volcanic ash found at key archaeological sites across Europe suggests that early modern humans were more resilient to climate change and natural disasters than commonly thought. The study, which appeared in PNAS, analyzed volcanic ash from a major eruption that occurred in Europe around 40,000 years ago. The volcano spewed so much ash that the event probably created winter-like conditions and a sudden colder shift in climate. Scientists have generally suggested that the spread of modern humans, and the decline of our cousins the Neanderthals, was primarily due to ancient volcanic eruptions and deteriorating climate conditions, but this study shows that stone-age man rolled with the punches and shrugged off the sudden shifts in climate. This new evidence flies in the face of modern predictions that a shift of a few degrees in average yearly temperature will decimate human populations world wide.

Over the past few months I have been involved in the development of a new Spring project codenamed ROO. Spring ROO provides interactive, lightweight, user customisable tooling that enables rapid delivery of high performance enterprise Java applications. If you want more information about the purpose, intended target audience and capabilities of Spring ROO you can take a look at the summary provided at springsource.org/roo.
Currently, you can vote on the final name of Spring ROO on a website that was developed entirely using ROO itself during the SpringOne Europe 2009 opening keynote. The voting Web site is available here: http://cloud.springsource.com/vote
Spring ROO requires you to have Apache Maven version 2.0.9 or higher installed.
A first binary release of Spring Roo is now available.
[Update: the download location for Spring ROO has been moved to http://dist.springframework.org/milestone/ROO/spring-roo-1.0.0.A1.zip]
The complete package of Spring ROO is just 2.7 MB so you should be up and running in no time. To install, simply unzip the package, and create a 'ROO_HOME' system environment variable and add %ROO_HOME%/bin to your path. More info in the readme.txt file included in the release. Also, until the ROO annotations jar archive is available in the maven repositories you need to install it manually into your local Maven repository:
mvn install:install-file -DgroupId=org.springframework.roo \ -DartifactId=roo-annotations -Dversion=1.0.0.A1 -Dpackaging=jar \ -Dfile=$ROO_HOME/dist/roo-annotations-1.0.0.A1.jar
If you want to import ROO generated projects into Eclipse you should also have the latest AJDT dev build installed. To do this simply use the following AJDT URL in the Eclipse update manager: http://download.eclipse.org/tools/ajdt/34/dev/update.
Once these installation steps are behind you the fun can start. First you should create a new directory to start your first ROO project. Once you are in that new directory simply type 'roo' to start the shell (note, if you are not using linux you will miss out on the cool colouring scheme used in the Spring ROO shell:
However, tab completion works just fine in all shells we tested so far.
Now let's start with a simple application. For this introduction I have chosen to write a simple shopping list containing only ShoppingList and Item as domain objects. Before we get to the details of how to generate classes using Spring ROO we should create a simple project which has all the required artifacts configured. Before you start copy and pasting the commands below into the ROO shell, just try to use the shell directly by using the tab completion feature. So to type the first command below you could type 'cr' +
create project -topLevelPackage net.stsmedia.roo.shoppinglist install jpa -database HYPERSONIC_IN_MEMORY -provider HIBERNATE configure logging -level DEBUG
This will not only create a simple project (using common Maven project structure conventions), but also configure the JPA artifacts in the appropriate places in the applicationContext.xml and the META-INF/persistence.xml files. Finally, since I am keen to see if everything works I am also configuring DEBUG level logging for my project.
Now on to the more interesting parts of this little exercise. I need to create my domain objects for the shopping list application:
new persistent class jpa -name ~.domain.Item add field string -fieldName name -notNull add field string comments -sizeMax 150 add field number -fieldName price -type java.lang.Float new persistent class jpa -name ~.domain.ShoppingList add field string -fieldName title -notNull add field date jpa -fieldName shoppingDate -type java.util.Date add field set jpa -element ~.domain.Item -fieldName items
You may have also noticed that there is no need to define identifier and version fields as ROO takes care of that for you. However, custom identifiers are also supported.
Something we need to do in future though is to provide some support for default messages.properties which translate the sometimes pretty cryptic messages generated by the Spring MVC binding framework and the Bean Validation API into a more human readable format.
Anyway, back to our sample application.
new controller automatic -name ~.web.ShoppingListController new controller automatic -name ~.web.ItemController -formBackingObject ~.domain.Item
Two things I should mention about the commands shown above.
First, you may have noticed I used the '~.' syntax in front of the sub-package name 'web'. The '~' character indicates to use the fully qualified package name 'net.stsmedia.roo.shoppinglist' we have used in the very first command shown above. Alternatively, you could have used the fully qualified package name directly 'net.stsmedia.roo.shoppinglist.web.ItemController' (tab completion gets you there even faster – just try it out!).
Second, you may wonder why the first controller does not have a formBackingObject defined. In fact, ROO does add the form backing object by itself. It does this by remembering the last class file you edited (which was the ShoppingList object as seen above). So ItemController needs a formBackingObject defined, otherwise ROO would assume ShoppingList as the form backing object for Item.
Now, all you are left to do is to 'exit' the ROO shell and type 'mvn install' to generate a ready-to-deploy war archive. Alternatively you can type 'mvn eclipse:eclipse' to generate the Eclipse project artifacts and import the project into Eclipse. If you do so you need to enable AJDTs AspectJ weaving so that the ROO generated aspects can be woven into your binary class files.
After deploying your application to a Web container you can navigate to http://localhost:8080/shoppinglist/:
So there you have it – with only 11 (tab assisted) commands I have created a fully working Web Shopping List application which uses Spring 3.0 @MVC REST features, JPA, AspectJ mixins, and Dojo.
Finally, let's take a quick look at some of the generated code:
@Entity @RooEntity @RooJavaBean @RooToString public class Item { @NotNull private String name; @Size(max = 150) private String comments; private Float price; }
@Entity @RooEntity @RooJavaBean @RooToString public class ShoppingList { @NotNull private String title; @Temporal(TemporalType.TIMESTAMP) private Date shoppingDate; @OneToMany(cascade = CascadeType.ALL) private Set<Item> items = new HashSet<Item>(); }
@RooWebScaffold(automaticallyMaintainView = true, formBackingObject = ShoppingList.class) @RequestMapping("/shoppinglist/**") @Controller public class ShoppingListController { }
As you can see, there are only annotated classes and fields in the generated .java source files. You may wonder where the actual code resides. For this you can take a look at the .aj source files which contain the identifier fields, the mutators and accessors for these fields, and a number of other things. But that is for another post .
We are interested in feedback from you, so please feel free to leave a message!

This thread has to be the most desperate sounding plea for help that I've read on this forum so far, bar none!
Unless you have a terminal illness with nothing to loose and just want go out with a bang, ...... 675HP, DANG!!! sit back and enjoy the ride!!
Read up and ease your way in, there is always next time.
After reading the OP first post, Which took 15 minutes to read for the lack of a period and proper spelling. I noticed that he made a comment about retarding the motor 6*. I have been reading a lot on nitrous systems and how to tune them, as I have a Nitrous Express Main Line 1000 on a truck. You need to contact the company that makes the system you have now and ask them about setting it up and tuning it. a good start on timing is 2 degrees for every 50 hp you go up. So if you go up to your 180hp jetting (Which i have never herd of before) then backing out 8*-10* of timing is a good start.
Yes this motor was built specifically for a 200 shot and yes my drive train and everything else is built to handle way more than the "huge spike" ill be getting from 200 hp the drive trainci have could handle more horsepower than any single person could afford to put in a vehicle. And I have spent hours and hours a week for a years reading and researching but everything I find is about as helpful as I have found these forums to be nothing but contradictions and personal opinions. Which is why I joined here so I could ask direct questions and hopefully get direct answers. Also if I included every detail about this build and this class you would then understand y this seems "desperate" but I didn feel including all of that would be necessary since it would not effect the questions in anyway. And im not a dumb *** even though some things ive said and asked may seem that way because I do not know everything about nitrous and several of you know way more than me. If I did I wouldnt be asking questions trustme there is something that I know more about than each and every one of you but I would never question your intelegence or come across as a jack *** just because you didnt know about it I never said I would be putting nitrous on and hoping for the best and running it or without making sure it was tuned properly. Actually my goal was to find out how to hook it up properly and tune it properly so I wouldn't mess anything up 20 replies later and still havent got any help on that. Just alot of smart ***** telling me how ignorant this is. And that may be true but if I knew that I wouldn have been trying to do it. Some of u did give some good advice most of you just useless remarks. Where I come from that aint the way we do things I would go out of my way to help any of you if I knew alot about something you didnt understand. I would be ashamed to have the knowledge that some of you have and be such a know it all dick head about it to others that dont have the tresources and experience I will no longer use this site but since it has been brought to my attention I'll try using more punctuation marks every where else I go since yall think that is more important than even knowing the specs on the application. Ill see if using periods from now on finds me any more hp. Yall haveca great day
Talk about down in flames! Sounds like your tidy whiteys just did a melt down. I think most the guys here were trying to save you from melting a piston from rushing this install and seeming to be urgent about getting it going this weekend.
The advice about not rushing on a new build, and learning to set up your nitrous was folks trying to help you avoid burning down a new engine build. Sorry you saw that as not being helpful.
Can you post a vid of you running over the crank?
|The Following User Says Thank You to Greg T For This Useful Post:
Choppinblock (07-18-2013)
Now that we've warned you.... go find a professional to set this system up for you..... Or don't.
Next, we're going to advise a poster on the right way to rebuild an engine for his Cessna 172.... He's read up on it.
No nothing like that no hard feelings and ive decided this weekend I will not be running the nitrous unless the partial sponser endsnup having an extra day to come(which is y he wasnt doin it originally) if he doesnt then I will have a couple more weeks to hopefully find someone to help and to the last reply trust me I have spent more hours reading than i have working on this for the past year I guarentee no one has done the ammount of research on one build as I have on this one. And thats because I have no help I dont have any family or know any body that I can ask questions or learn from so my only source for answers is the internet and books and usually can find answers in black and white no guess work but with this everything I read tells you something different. Today alone I had a tech from summit and a tech from jegs give me two opposite answers. Which is why I came here to begin with hoping to take some of the confussion out. From wat I read I clearly understand all nitrous basics how it works how to plumb it and how to wire it what I cant find clearly is exaxtly how to do my setup and do it right and safely. And everyone doesn't have access to professionals. No way that everyone in racing history everywher had a professional do there nitrous the first time and those professionals didn wake up one day knowing everything they had to learn it. There's no body within a miles of me that can do it and obviously no one hear that will either but somewhere online there is someone who can tell me cut and dry "this is wat you need to and when u hit the button itll be right" I aparently came across the wrong way here and gave u a completly wrong opinion of me and made it seem I had donecno research on this. But only because I cut straight to the point. If u look on googl3 you will find this forum is the worse about regular users giving smart *** answers and coming across as better than you. If yall only knew me you would know wat ive went though on this and how much research ive done and know that I dont have the options or help some of you have so let me make this clear. I KNOW THAT IF NITROUS IS WRONG IT WILL BLOW YOUR MOTOR I KNOW THAT YOU SHOULDNT TRY IT IF YOU DONT KNOW WHAT YOUR DOING. IVE READ EVERY FORUM AND THREAD AND INSTRUCTION MANUEL WATCHED VIDEOS SUBMITTED TECH QUESTIONS AND ASKED EVERYONE I COULD.
But before I never use this site again I think it would be interesting to ask all of you the queation I asked sumkit and jegs this morning and see wat your input is. What is the best way to feed your fuel side of nitrous. One good pump and 2 regulators? A seperat cell and 2 pumps? Or what? Is ther anyone that can give me an answer not an opinion andctell me why that way is the best
My experience with techs at both Summit and Jegs is to not trust either to give me a good answer. When I've talked to them in the past, some info they gave me was so wrong I couldn't believe my ears! Like the tech who told me it was OK if a timing gear was a slip fit on the crrrankshaft, and didn't need to be pushed on with an install tool! Holy cow!
Anyway, to answer your question. I don't use nitrous, but have a couple friends who like it, and they don't run a separate fuel tank. They run one tank with two feed lines, and two regulators. One regulator to the normal carb feed, and one to the nitrous system. Both run separate electric fuel pumps, and also have pressure switches on the NOS system to kill the engine if pressure drops below a certain level. That will save the engine in the case of a fuel pump failure.
I don't think you need separate fuel filters, but if your fuel cell has two output fittings, I would use two, just because I could. If it's only one outlet, then I'd plumb in one filter, and T it to each pump and regulator. Of course you'll want fuel shutoff switches to each pump also, so you can leave the nitrous system off until you're ready to use it. A bypass switch WITH INDICATOR LIGHT will need to be installed around the pressure safety switch, so you can start and run the engine. The light should be wired so it comes on when the nitrous system is on, and you know it's ready to run.
Im sure I pissed a few you off and the feeling is mutual. Its a shame though that its all due to misunderstanding. So im gonna give more detail for the question this time. Okay I have to make a decision today on fuel pump. Even with nitrous out of the question but I want to buy one that wil work with nitrous as well so that's y I need to know if I should use one with alot higher gph or 2 seperate ones. The current pump is a edelbrock performer rpm with no regulator 110 gph rated up to 600 hp. I bought it before I had this motor. The carb is a holley 750 with alot of work done to it so I dont no the exact cfm. It came from the guy that is now doin a partial sponser. I didn speak with him untill this week about all this. Now ill tell you wat his idea and thoughts are to see if it sounds right to you. He said the current carb isnt enough so he will have a new one ready for me today it is a 850 double pumper (a tech guy with software told me from the specs on my motor his software says I need like 962 cfm) so is my guy right on this 850? He also does not use nitrous but knows about it and has buddies. After we spoke he made a phone call and came back to tell me I need one pump near fuel cell with -10 lines and 2 regulators. He suggested holley black (which is only rated for 750 hp...so if that is accurate it wouldnt be enough) thats when I called summit tech and jegs to ask their pump recommendation and if they could get me one here by tomorrow. One of them said I dont need to do it this way one of em said this is the best way to do it. My guy is coming tomaro evening to set all this up for me so I have to order it today which will cost extra to have it here tomorrow. What I need to know is the plan he has sound right? Or is the carb still to small. Also another idea that was mentioned from A buddy is since I wont be spraying and itll be hard to get a good pump bu tomoro was to get the one from the shelf at a parts store and use it as a booster to the mechanical pump I have just to run this weekend. I dont know anything about how that works so idk if its a good idea or not. One concern is the guy doin it made one phone call and came back with the first answer he got but from the hours ive spent reading ive not been able to find one answer for this that several people agreed on so how do I no this one individual he called is right . Im looking for the best way to have a fuel system I can trust for this saturday. If that means a booster pump for now or ordering something else I just don't know wat to do. And maybe it isnt as critical as im making it maybe 6 one way half a dozen the other but I dont know thats why im asking.
Thank you for that answer great info! Can u tell me why I would need two pumps and couldnt use one with a high enough gph and use separate regulators. Also could you explain the bypass thing? Ive never used an electric pump and have never had anything that required upgraded fuel system so im still a little new to it
This is pathetic.
As I mentioned, I have never used nitrous, and probably never will, so I can only guess as to why those I know use two pumps. My best guess would be insurance. They don't want to run out of fuel to the nitrous plate, and have a meltdown. Also the same reason they use a pressure switch to shut down the engine if the pressure drops.
A bypass switch simply wires across the pressure switch contacts to allow the engine to fire if the nitrous pump is shut off. It wont be needed if you run one pump, unless that pump is a mechanical. A mechanical wont have pressure at starting, so you'd need a bypass switch to allow the engine to start, and then turn it off once pressure was up, and the pressure switch would complete the circuit and keep the engine running.
If you have a sponsor who is providing tech and parts, he should be knowledgeable enough to make these same recommendations, and I would defer to his advice. If he thinks the 850 is enough, then use it. Too small a carb wont cause engine meltdown, and only drawback would be it starves a little on the top end. I'm surprised he didn't tell you to install a pressure activated kill switch on the nitrous system already. It's vital to keep from melting the engine if fuel pressure drops.
no pics? i smell a troll. do it, hit it with 180 shot and see what happens
