"Stunning Chapel.Had 90 people in it.Thought it would look more full but was still few empty pews at back!Still way better than a bigger church.Warm and intimate were my thoughts and all the guests said very unique and intimate!They loved it.A coooool twist to the Honan is,the new student complex allows guest to jump in for a tea/coffee after the ceremony,which was a real nice touch!Watch the lighting in Honan as afterwards my photographer said it was much darker than other churches so affected brightness of photos!We still love them however!Fee of 500e was steep but...... it is an honour,blah,blah,blah,it does give that extra special feel to the day and thirdly all your photos can be taken there so there is no commute to a park etc!"

My trip to Buenos Aires. Amazing trees, cool history, a crazy creepy cemetery and a ton of tourist traps.
February 7, 2013 – 10:49 amHey Tim – who was the friend who runs a bike company over there?? I have a hunch I might know him too…
I traverse the Chilean side of Patagonia with my buddies Jason and Bryan. Crystal blue water, glaciers, crazy foliage, and an awesome time all up in this post.
Looks like a fabulous trip! and a lot of fun.
I can't believe you had a set of photos titled "Glacier Time". That is just hilarious.
And wow, great photos.January 24, 2013 – 6:50 pm
January 24, 2013 – 11:45 amI can't help but feel a serious case of wanderlust when I visit your site and see all your pictures and adventures. I'm going on a cruise to the Bahamas (with a stop in Florida) in March, and while that is no trip to Peru or whale watching excursion (those photos were awesome), it will have to do. ;)
My buddy Jason and I venture out deep into the Amazon rainforest and spend a few days exploring the wild. Machetes, Caiman Alligators, Giant Otters, and Star-lit skies all included in this post
Hi Tim,
Just came across your blog. I like the way you present your travel narrative. Keep traveling.April 11, 2013 – 5:05 pm

January 15, 2013 – 11:47 amKiller post man! Without a doubt though my favorite part of reading everything was you calling the parrot an asshole! I am still cracking up over that, ha!
WTF spider!a,
Always look forward to your posts, they always feel like grand adventures. Now how do I apply to be a part of your traveling troupe? :)January 15, 2013 – 11:34 am
January 14, 2013 – 9:57 pmMean trick with the spider.
January 14, 2013 – 8:06 pmYour blog posts are always remarkably entertaining! As I read this everything checked out, except for the tarantulas and the snakes of course, and it made me miss it so much. Thanks for sharing. I'm excited to hear about it all in person!
I feel a bit like Bilbo Baggins here, writing to you to tell you about my adventures. And in some part, it's pretty similar – I'm going to be posting a few more adventures here in the coming days (Amazon Jungle, Patagonia, Buenos Aires, New Guinea). Let's start where it all began, shall we? One […]
Hey mate, love your work – very gifted photography. Were a lot of these shots taken wider than 24mm? Im heading here soon and Im not sure if I should pick up an UWA.
Thanks for any help.October 22, 2014 – 4:04 am
You are an incredible photographer!
I have a question about your trip. Based on this blog it looks like you did your traveling in Dec/Jan? How was the weather? My husband and I are planning to go next late December/early January and am nervous that it will be rainy/nasty weather.May 8, 2013 – 10:01 am
February 5, 2013 – 1:56 pmThe beauty of your photogrpahy inspires me. I'm going on quite a different kind of journey but nonetheless, I hope to get out as much from Peru as you did. Peru, here I come!

Mind the cyclists...
The Bicycles Advocacy Group (Malta) has expressed concern about an increasing number of cyclists who are being hit by car doors.
It mentioned incidents in Constitution Street, Mosta; Mikelang Sapiano Street, Zebbug and near misses along the Strand in Sliema.
In the most recent accident in Zebbug a cyclist was thrown three meters down the road with such force that the impact split his crash helmet.
"In these kind of cases it is almost impossible for the cyclist to avoid a car door flung open into their path and this is always a potential hazard when riding alongside parked cars," the group said.
"The best advice that the Bicycle Advocacy Group can give cyclists and car drivers alike is for car drivers to be aware of cyclists in this area and keep a lookout for them, while cyclists themselves should keep well clear of the door zone. This does of course mean riding a little further out into traffic, and while using bright colours and lights at night time helps, this wider riding position also has the benefit of making riders more visible to car drivers," the group said.
"Equally areas where drivers and passengers disembark can be particularly hazardous. Shopping and entertainment areas, schools, colleges and other venues where people may be in a rush and less observant. The darkened streets of winter don't help, while double parked cars increase the risk by taking up more of the carriageway. Local councils can also help by ensuring that double parking, which also slows other traffic is properly policed and by posting anti-dooring and dooring awareness posters in roads where such incidents are known to occur."

The Charisma Myth: How Anyone Can Master the Art and Science of Personal… (edition 2012)
by Olivia Fox Cabane
Work details
The Charisma Myth: How Anyone Can Master the Art and Science of Personal Magnetism by Olivia Fox Cabane
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Good information. Author breaks charisma down into a few areas:
Presence (being present in the moment, focusing on the other person)
Warmth (goodwill, empathy, compassion)
Power (confidence)
The author suggests finding an "area of specialty" for your charisma:
Focus (presence)
Visionary (inspirational)
Kindness (warmth and confidence)
Authority (status and confidence)
She also talks about self-compassion, which is an important step in developing warmth and confidence.
The book is an easy read, with key points listed at the end of each chapter. There are also exercises to help you work on a specific area. You can skim through it and get the main points in a couple hours, or read more carefully and try each exercise for a more thorough experience.
A solid book on the topic. I would have preferred something a little more dense, with various theories and research to support/refute them. This is more of a quick "how-to" book. That's probably what most people need.
It's a little light for my personal taste. I feel like the same information could have been conveyed in a magazine article, and it's frustrating to scan through pages looking for important information. But a book earns more profits, I'm sure. It's capitalist inefficiency - the most useful, streamlined version of a product won't make as much money, so consumers get the bloated, lumbering one. It's true of a lot of self-help books.
There's also a rather weak work-around for atheists in some exercises ("If you don't believe in God, imagine the universe as a benevolent being, and ask it for help...") It took many years of hard work to rid myself of toxic religious beliefs. Imagining a "benevolent being" is likely to drag me back into a mental state I don't want to be in. I wish authors with a belief in God would have more respect for those of us who don't want to follow the path of faith--or some generic, watered-down version of faith.
But overall, a useful book for those of us that don't naturally have charisma. Not much new material for people who read sites like Lifehacker, but it created connections between concepts that I hadn't thought of before.
ten little cheerleaders yelling "presence! power! warmth!" but alternately gushing about the importance of breathing and mindfulness.
This was life-changing to me. I've never read a book like it and didn't realize this was something that could be learned. You know, they should really teach social skills in school, as important as it is to jobs and life.
Can charisma be learned?
It can. Or, at least, that's the promise of this book.
I'm not completely convinced that "Anyone" can master the "Art and Science of Personal Magnetism". The author, while seemingly well credentialed and very experienced, uses her clients as examples and case studies. The problem with this, is that most of the clients she serves are already in positions of power, for the most part, and it's too easy to assume that those in power already posses a good amount of charisma to begin with.
If you already know you posses some charisma then this book is probably good in helping you identify what kinds of charisma you posses . Then you can work on improving those with a focus.
"To know others is knowledge; to know oneself is wisdom." ~Lao Tsu
Steve Jobs, Bill Clinton, Barrack Obama, Whoopi Goldberg, Oprah Winfrey….What do these people have that you and I don't? Charisma. They seem to have some special power or personality traits that attract people to them effortlessly. They attract all the attentions when they walk into a room, even without speaking. Somehow, we were taught that either we have this trait, or we don't; so I was immediately drawn to this title once I spot it in a bookstore, and…
Yes, charisma can be learned.
Presence, warmth and power.
According to this wonderful book written by Olivia Cabane, charisma is a matter of presence, warmth and power. Presence is constantly paying attention to what's going on when you're interacting with people. If you are 100% involved, they feel valued and respected. One of these important skills is listening skill.
Warmth is expressed through kindness, actions and even body language. Do you think your body language has more power over the words you speak, or vice versa? You're extremely wrong if you say "words." Your physical comfort and mental state affect your words and body language, and people pick up messages from our body language and words that you don't even realize yourself. Through out the author described multiple ways and exercises to get over or control your mental and physical discomfort, which will help increase personal charisma, the image that your body language and words projected.
Power is the most important and influential charisma. You do not have be an actual world leader like Colin Powell to impress people with your authority. The way you carry yourself, your body language and the way you dress and act can increase your impression and influence in others.
Not all charismatic people attract people the same way. There are all different kinds of charisma like the different kinds of personality. They can be achieved with different exercised and mind tricks and can be used on different situations. There's only one "first impression" in each event, and it's important to make it count. There are lots of exercises through out the book to help you learn the skills. Although I think they are a bit time consuming, they are actually useful.
Get the book. The wait is over. It's your turn to shine. .

Like My Mother Does?
Now, before anyone gets in a tissy, this is not another "Open Letter To Lauren Alaina" from Chad or a recap of the latest Twitter battle of the American Idol alum from Dave Spencer. No, it's just my almost-30 year-old realization that slowly, but surely, I'm turning into my mother.
Yes, it's something that we all at some point fear and something that we all at some point kinda (secretly) enjoy!

So you undertake the decidedly oldschool but comforting job of making a pudding. You carefully stir the beaten eggs into the hot milk mixture, but soon you see the dreaded signs of mixture separation. And when it breaks, it breaks fast—and now you've got a watery pile of scrambled eggs suspended in a milky broth. The problem is a failure to temper, the critical heat-control technique that basically acclimates eggs to higher heat.The solution: Slowly whisk a thin stream of the hot milk mixture into beaten raw eggs in a bowl. Tempering will heat the eggs gradually without cooking them completely. The milk-egg mixture can then be returned to the pan and cooked as the recipe requires. Be patient cooking, though: If you crank up the heat after tempering, you can still wreck things, even with the inclusion of flour or cornstarch helping to stabilize. A small jump in the pudding's temperature can lead to coagulation.

Registered Charity no. 1127806
QPR in the Community Trust – in partnership with the Octavia Foundation – have secured funding for an innovative and creative community film and media project that will culminate in the production of a documentary film that charts the history of QPR football club and the communities and people that sit close to Loftus Road in west London.
An award has been made by the Premier League Charitable Fund and the PFA (Professional Footballers Association) to QPR in the Community Trust to support the costs of the project, provisionally titled 'The story of QPR' which will run for more than two years.
The project, developed collaboratively by both charities, will provide opportunities for fans and volunteers of all ages and backgrounds to contribute to the film and be involved throughout the research and planning stages. A further 40 young people will be recruited and trained in film-making, media, research and heritage skills as part of the production of the film and other accompanying materials, including a podcast, soundtrack and website.
Andy Evans, Chief Executive of QPR in the Community Trust explains, 'this is a fantastic project that will provide real opportunity for the local community to come together to tell the story of their club and local area. We're excited to capture the history and story of our club from fans, current and previous players and staff alike and the film will be a fantastic complement to our broader community and education projects throughout the local area.'
Reena Mukherji, Director of the Octavia Foundation adds, 'we're delighted to partner with QPR in the Community Trust and really excited to engage with local young people interested in developing their skills and experience in film-making, media production and heritage.'
'We have an excellent reputation for delivering youth-led media and heritage projects. In all of our previous projects, the young people involved have benefitted from real, positive impacts including increased confidence and self-belief, higher personal aspirations and improved employment prospects as a result of the skills and knowledge that they've developed during the film-making process.'
The film will receive a premiere screening at Loftus Road in 2014, before beginning a screening tour of cinemas, schools and community centres across London.

Going to Ringling brothers circus this sunday. I plan on carrying there just in case one of those 500lb bengal tigers gets loose and comes near me or my family. Does anyone know anything about if this is legal and if they will do any kind of search whatsoever. Please let me know I need to know before this sunday cause I would really like carry. I'm a big believer in murphy's law.

I've worked with the circus before, (they were a client of mine) the issue is not so much with the animals but the clowns...

Be careful if you have to shoot a clown. They squeek when hit, and they die a little funny.

I believe the circus is at the St Pete Times forum this week. I've been there for concerts and there was no problem. However, for sporting events it's prohibited by statute. I wouldn't think the circus to be a professional sporting event but you may want to make sure.

It is venue dependent.
My wife worked for Feld Entertainment at the headquarters building in Fairfax for several years in their marketing dept.
I've met Kenneth Feld and been to two of their employee picnics in the past and are still friendly with people there.
We've been to numerous RB circus events as well as Disney on Ice shows (all are owned by Feld Entertainment) up to this past year when we took our kids for the first time. I carry and carried.
The circus (Feld) does not provide event security, that is left up to the venue operator.
Bottom line as usual with anything else carry related reference your state laws first followed by county and local (city/town) ordinances. Also contact the venue operator and ask if they have a _licensed_ and lawful carry protocol.
Do not ask "Is this allowed", because knee jerk response will be a a pat and 'safe' no answer.
In my own case I do the above and then secondarily I will go to the venues website before hand to check for any clues as against. Also I have in the past and will go to the venue in person as days/weeks prior during some other event to see how site security is managed. Do you see any magnetrons installed or hand held? Is security private or local police?
Bottom line this is no different than attending a concert or some other event where a thousand or more people will be congregating at a semi-public place as for a private scheduled event.
Do your recon and then enjoy the show.

I carry at the circus every year in Jacksonville, FL. I've never been searched whatsoever. It doesn't fall under any of FL's no carry rules. I've also carried at Disney on Ice a couple of times.
I know a lot about the Circus, I work at one...errrr, sort of...
I have heard things about the clowns, I knew a canibal once who ate one, he said it tasted 'funny'.

Good luck with that pistola and a 500lb tiger...be sure to be wearing brown pants.

Randy, you have such a problem with simple belief. There are a few reasons why people can't believe what is told them from others. Do a little study and you may be able to help yourself with that. I posted about a helmet I have used for years. You posted that you can't imagine it working, I post a response, a friendly response to you understanding how you can feel that way, it is an odd helmet. I can understand how at first look it would seem very odd to you. I posted a friendly response expressing my understanding of how I feel. You chose to call me a liar? HUH? You have no idea what I do every day or what I have done every day with that helmet yet you choose to call me a liar?
That I don't like it? HUH? Are you going to tell me I don't like Italian food too? HUH?
Randy, I have spend days on end with that helmet on putting cars back together. We are talking doing one car after another replacing trunk floors and frame rails and quarters and roofs and rockers on any one of these cars having hundreds, many hundreds of welds. I have worn it all day long welding on street rod bodies, replacing the wood with metal, replacing floors, firewalls ext.
But you choose to call me a liar? What in the world possesses you to do this? You know NOTHING about my life, yet you can call me a liar about me liking an F-ing welding helmet? HUH?
Jeeez dude, you need to take a chill pill and look up at the clouds and thank God you have a life to do what you want instead of calling me a liar about my liking cargo pants.

Gov't Transparency A Priority For Condos
12/02/11 12:00PM By Bob Kinzel
| Download MP3
Vermont Secretary of State Jim Condos held meetings around the state to work with state and local officials on issues of transparency and providing access to government records. We talk with Condos about the results of his "Transparency Tour" and about other issues his office is working on, including campaign finance reform and legislative redistricting.
Also in the program, Burlington Mayor Bob Kiss announced this week that he will not run for re-election. The Progressive mayor's decision has been long-awaited as Democrats choose a candidate to run for the post and Republican Kurt Wright launches his campaign for mayor. Seven Days columnist Shay Totten explains the impact of Kiss' announcement.
And, we listen back to some of the voices in this week's news.

The smallest I will carry is a 38 Special or 9mm.

.44 Magnum
No need for the explanations, we've heard the excuses from both sides on why some people like lower recoil/greater capacity and other enjoy the idea of blowing basket-ball sized holes out the perps back.
What is your "minimum caliber"? That is, what is the smallest/least powerful round you will carry. This is not to say that it is your current carry round, just that this would be the smallest you would go.
For instance I carry a 10mm, but would at minimum carry a .40S&W
Fusion Tact-5 in a Pure Kustom Black-Ops Pro
Glock 23 in a Barber Leatherworks IWB
The smallest I will carry is a 38 Special or 9mm.
.38 is the smallest I carry and would carry.

I think this topic has probably been beaten to death plenty of times over...
I didn't read OP well, going to change. I'll carry .25 acp but my main is 9x18 Mak. Going to be upgrading to something a bit more powerful when funds allow.
I carry a Sig P232 .380 in the summer and a 1911 .45acp in the winter.
"Government is not the solution to our problem; government IS the problem". - Ronald Reagan 1981
I mainly carry .45, then 9mm's but in certain office/business casual situations where I can't wear a cover garment and I'm in dress pants, I'll carry the .380.
It all depends upon what I think I'll be up against. With handguns:
500 S&W for Alaska Brown or those big white ones. There have been reports of friendly white things...Bi-Polar Bears.
41Mag for anything in the lower continents.
45 Auto for anything on the streets.
40S&W for BUG.
It's just me, but I don't completely trust any lesser handgun caliber with lighter bullets, even in the 357 Mag. I know, I know, it's all about shot placement, right? A heavy bullet in the right spot can't be all bad, if it doesn't deflect and miss the vital opportunity.
If you really care about your safety, there's no excuse for not having enough gun. With a good, tuck-able IWB, a business professional dress shirt can hide it comfortably.

......okay, what no .25 or .22?
I know not what this "overkill" means.
Honing the knives, Cleaning the longguns, Stocking up ammo.
Long time ago I would have voted .380. But with the new mouse pistols out (i.e. PM-9, PF-9 etc). There really is no excuse for carrying smaller then a 9mm.
.38 special fo edc. I just haven't found a 2 inch .41 mag yet!
Carry pieces are 9mm and .38 spcl, but I feel that with the right ammo .380 is the bottom floor of defensive ammo.

I'm now a civilian; as such I am not intentionally headed in harm's way, but carry a gun so I have options should a BG oppose me. With that in mind 60% of the time I carry a Kel-Tec P3At 380 in a nemesis pocket holster, and the other 40% of the time, I carry a Glock 26 9mm.
The ability to completely conceal and the confidence that comes with that means that you will carry a gun 100% of the time. I'd far rather have that little 380 in my pocket than to have a full size 45 back in the car because it is too heavy, or too big to carry.
With that said; sure if I was going to be in a gun fight I'd prefer to have something a little bigger, say a Remington 870 12-gage. But then again, as a civilian, if I think it's going to be risky, I'm not going there.

Pick Up One Of These Top Cars Of 2016
If you take a look at the top rated cars for the year 2016, you'll see quite a few familiar names. The lists change from year to year as well, however, and you might be surprised at which cars rank ahead of others. For example, I was surprised to see that the Ford Focus was at the top of the rankings for one category. Remember, you have to approach this by looking at categories. You can't compare a hatchback to a convertible. It just doesn't work that way.
The ratings for each category of vehicle can also vary based on what is considered. Are you looking for a car within a particular price range? If not, you can certainly look at luxury models. BMW and Mercedes always have cars that seem to make many of the lists from year to year.
One result that I found interesting was the top hybrid/electric vehicle for 2016. What would you guess it to be? It's the Chevrolet Volt, which I found kind of surprising. There is a guy that swings by our shop from time to time, a limo service Minneapolis company dude, and he says that his company is actually thinking of getting a Volt to compete with the small car Uber guys as competition. It's cost-effective, and you can imagine the fuel costs that a limo service has.
And by the way, the Toyota Camry hybrid ranks above the Toyota Prius. You'll have to decide what type of car you want, and make sure you pay attention to the ratings breakdown.

More on: bia, charlie galbraith, del laverdure, doi, jodi gillette, kim teehee, larry echohawk, white house
After three years of relative stability, the Obama administration's Indian team is due for change as the 2012 election approaches. Larry Echo Hawk, a member of the Pawnee Nation of Oklahoma, is leaving the Bureau of Indian Affairs after nearly three years as Assistant Secretary for Indian Affairs. His last day is Friday. Also leaving the Obama administration on Friday is Kim Teehee, a member of the Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma. She served as the first-ever Senior Policy Advisor for Native American Affairs at the White House, a position she held for almost three years. Echo Hawk's decision to leave the BIA for a leadership post within the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was well publicized. Teehee's departure, on the other hand, has been a relatively quiet affair although she hosted a going-away party last week at the White House and had a farewell meeting with Echo Hawk this week. Teehee was one of several high-ranking Indian women in the Obama administration, a notable achievement for a president of any party. A former Congressional staffer, she is expected to join the private sector to work with Mapetsi, a law and lobbying firm that specializes in tribal government affairs. With two colleagues on their way out, another high-ranking Indian woman in the Obama administration is staying put. Jodi Gillette, a member of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe who currently serves as the Deputy Assistant Secretary for Indian Affairs at the Interior Department, will be shuffling back to the White House, where she first got her start more than three years ago. Gillette likely won't be reclaiming her job as an associate director of intergovernmental affairs at the White House. That post is still being held by Charlie Galbraith, a member of the Navajo Nation. It's not clear if Gillette's old post at DOI will be filed. At least one Indian candidate was recently considered for the job but appears to have been passed over for now. Back at the BIA, Del Laverdure, a member of the Crow Tribe of Montana, will serve as acting Assistant Secretary. He joined the Obama administration in August 2009. In another departure at the BIA, Paul Tsosie, a member of the Navajo Nation, is leaving as chief of staff to Echo Hawk. His last day is today. Related Stories:

409 heads
Well, i am 15 and for my birthday my dad found an awsome deal on a few impalas my brother got a 4 door and i got the 2 door 409 SS, i have heard that the valve seats need to be machined make the engine better for driving... i wanted to know if there is somthin else i can do ( other that buying new heads). I also was wondering about any tech tips you guys have for a 409. thanks a lot for any help...
Well, the 409 is a monster from the factory!
By machining the valve seats, I can think of two things you might be talking about.
1. installing hardened exhaust seats. In the old days, gas had lead added to keep teh exhaust seats from burning. To run unleaded gas, you need hardened seats, or use a lead substitute additive every time you fill up.
2. 3 angle valve job. This means adding an extra two cuts to the valve seat (one on each side) and back cutting the valve so that airflow is smoother around the "corner" and at low valve lift. Better flow = more power.
There aren't many heads out there for the 409, but fortunately, in those days, castings were thick, so a good head porting job can give you a boost in power. This work should be done by a pro as this is tricky work, and you sure don't want to mess up a valuable 409 head.
Also make sure the engine has a good tuneup. If it isn't tuned right, you cannot make good power.
Good luck with your new ride. You're a lucky guy!
Congrats, on the 409 SS. What a Find! I agree a set of Hardened Exhaust Seats, and a Good Three Angle Valve Job, will go a Long way for Performance. Those Heads were Cast Heavy, so even if You have to Mill .005 off of Them, to get Em Straight. I"m sure There will still be Plenty of Material left as to not Weaken Them.
A few months back, Street Rodder ran an article on the 409. Trust me, the 409 is a terminal case of nasty when set up right. In the article, they mentioned porting out the coolant passages in the front of the block, where your water pump bolts. This will help the engine run cooler. I agree with the other guys about the valve seats. Have a machine shop prep your heads. Yes, it'll cost for their service but you'll never match their skill.
Now, start looking for the two AFB's and intake manifold to feed it. Cast iron exhaust manifolds with the wto 4-barrel set up produced 425 horsepower, from the factory...Keep that engine!
hey thanks a lot for that info... i love it when people tell me good stuff about my engine. i was thinking about going with a high rise intake manifold and some headers (the only problem with that headers is i have only found 1 ad that had 409 headers and they costed a ton) but ya i think that i am going to go with the hardend valve seats. but right now my money is going towards tubbing my rear end. I am only 15 and im not bringing in much money so i have to do one thing at a time. the place that i work might end up having machine stuff so i might wait a while and get a real good deal. well thanks a lot for the info on that 409. It really inspires me to get my car going so i can smoke all these hondas. I have told a few friends that 409 came factory runnin about 400 hp and they didnt believe, because they are all used to 4 bangin hondas... sheesh i think im hangin out with the wrong crowd.
Just recently joined your thread, and as an owner of a few 409's I'd like to share some advice, some VERY important stuff, too...
First, porting is great, especially if you can give me a cast number, I can even give you an idea how much meat you've got.
Second, DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT put hardened exhaust seats on the heads. You will DESTROY the head, as the water jacket is close to the seat, and you WILL cut into it. This is the one weak spot on the 409. I've been running pump unleaded in mine for years, with no major issues. Buy stainless valves, and get a good valve job (3 or 5 angle), and you'll be fine for 90K+ miles.
Last, if you want to contact me, I can steer you in the right direction for anything from gaskets to stroker kits, sheetmetal manifolds, and blowers. The W-Block is a unique beast, and I've broken enough 409 parts to help you through this!
I just hope I caught you in time to save the heads!
If you need any help, or pics, or tech info let me know!
PS- Replace the rocker arm studs while you've got the heads off, unless it's a 425hp 690-cast head, you do not have hardened studs. They can, and usually do shear under modern cam/spring loads. But make sure the machinist radiuses the bolt holes on the stud bosses, it's another w-block weak spot, they can crack!
Good luck!
What kind of shape is the car in? What year 61,62 or 63?
I've got a '63 Impala Conv. Bucket delete SS Car.
Factory it had a 340Hp/'Glide in it. Short Console, PS, PB, 3.42 Posi rear.
Now it's a 515Hp 409, 565 ft/lb. Dual Carter 600's, Offy Hi-Rise intake. Ported, polished, and flowed heads. Isky Cam/valvetrain. Fairbanks 700R-4, ATI Converter, Moser 9" Rear end. Looks stock, though. B&M Hammer shifter is in the console (Well hidden, though with a leather shift boot), but other than that and the AutoMeter Street Tach, it looks stock. 15x8 Chevy Rally wheels, too...
It's aqua-azure metallic, black, and black.
I had the heads and short block done, assembled, and put, pulled, put, pulled, and put the motor in myself. Did the tranny myself, including fabbing a crossmember.
I've got a 489-stroker in my basement. It's a 454 Crank, with milled mains, and gives you baseline 500+ HP.
I love W-Blocks, but they ARE quirky. And factory, they have flow issues. The intakes stink, and the heads don't generate ANY seat velocity. Ya gotta work 'em!

BentlelyT1 I was asking 409guy about his car. Thinking maybe he might be interested in a swap with something ready to go before he got into all the work he's going to have to do. I've always wanted a 61 409. But then he is only 15 and has lots of time to do it. Your car sounds like a jewel. I don't think I have enough toys to get you to swap your car away.
Jewel it's not. It's an older body resto, and I thin it's going to have to go in soon again. It has been a NY Car it's whole life, and it has some issues, and some shoddy repair work, but it will be done right in the next year or so. I'd call it a 20-footer!
The mechanicals are great; that's what I can do. The interior's really nice; I can do that to. I just HATE bodywork. It looks good, I just know what's under the paint, and it bugs me.
I bought the car when I was 18, though, and haven't done much to the body since, so I can't complain. It was my response to my father when he said, "Go get a practical car, so you can go to college...". He wasn't very pleased, but I've kept it every since, and I'm 27 now.... So, guess it wasn't a bad investment. I'd still rather drive it than my Volvo cross counrty!
If you want a 409, and a '61, I can steer you right there, too. I know of a believed-to-be factory mule in Binghamton, NY with a tri-power 409, some odd cast numbers in the block, and heads, but there's no paper-trail to prove it. I even took the car to the GM plant at Tonawanda's (5 miles away) "Family Reunion", and asked the GM tech guys if they had info on the cast numbers, and they couldn't find any.... Weird.
The easier way would be buy a '61, and I can hook you up with a 409... If you don't care about numbers matching stuff. My original block and heads are in the basement. I'm running a different 409 because I'm concerned about trashing the original, they have a well earned (And Correct) reputation for being grenades.... Plus, some truck/HD stuff flows better, and you can get more street-liveable performance from the motor than the HP applications GM Threw on the street.
If you're interested, E-Mail me... I can hook you up.
So if the valve seats can't safely be hardened, what can you do?
Some people say that unleaded gas will destroy it too.
when you get this thing on the road tell us all how the beast runs! if you even decide to sell it [heaven forbid]let us know. it would really suck to see another fine 409 pushing water in some farmers glorified sprinkler!
Foot to the floor,hair back,knuckles white.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
I had a 56 Studebaker wagon with a fairly strong 350. Started with a TH350 and 3:55 8 inch rear. 80 MPH was about 3400 RPM, ran warm with AC on. Switched to 700R4, ran 2500 RPM and was quieter and ran cool. That sold me on 700R4's.
Put a 700R4 in my 71 Chevy Pickup. Had it built for towing. Between my truck and trailer (full), they weight 11,000 lbs+. Works flawlessly.
That said, I agree that I would rather just buy a core and install one tranny. TV cable hookup is CRITICAL.
With my Stewed, the 350 had a 9" tail, was the same length as the 700, so I had no driveshaft issues.
ive had the same 700r4 in my little jalopy (76 ventura) since 1996... spent 150 on the core, another 400 or so in parts, eliminated the torque converter lockup (i run a hughes non lockup converter), and had the driveshaft shortened.dont remember what i spent for that, but it wasnt that much. my car at best, b4 i put in the 700r4, would get maybe 15 on the highway (4 barreled inline 6), since the 700r4 install, i have gotten up to 23 mpg... and that was driving to the east coast and back... if built right, obviously they will last... and they can handle some beating., cause i have been tough on mine... lol
i keep it maintained, it gets serviced every year/10,000 miles (dads rule of thumb from his shop, retired now.) that i have done with my cars since i could drive and have had no problems.
save urself the hassel of the r&r or the gear vendors unit and go with a well built 700.... i know ive been glad i did for years now.. got 1 ive prepped for the wifes car too. (72 ventura but with a 307). gonna be the same as what was done to mine.. after all, after 10+ years on my 700 and going strong, why not??? gl on ur venture...
|mike crocetti
The early 700R you could install the on/off switch to the trans to lock up the converter. I would go for the change. I have also been told by a friend who builds transmissions that the stock 200r is stronger than the stock 700R so you might want to look into that.
I bought my core for $75, spent another $400 in parts, and I meen lots of parts! When its done, hopefully it will last many years. Doing one conversion is bad enough, but i'd never do two unless it was a brand new high dollar super duper whiz bang trans. No matter how you cut it, its a lot of work.
are you sure that the switch is OD or a convertor lockup? Its probably the lockup switch, there isn't much to the 700 electronically wise, except for the lockup,
i wouldn't do it, because from what you said your going to have to modify both cars drivetrains and mounts to get the different transmission in, thats alot of time and work, you might as well buy a used 700 for yourself and save the double work and money to fix both
i would go 700 over 350, and the parts he has installed aren't really worth all the work of fixing 2 cars
1st tech Post (probably discussed to death) T350 and 700R4 conundrum
Well I've driven the 700R4 and must say its a nice tranny, never owned one though...always had T350/400's in my stuff, that said I have a friend of mine getting ready to sell one of his Novas (63) that has a 700R4 installed, the tranny has all the pertenent upgrades to eleminate the weak areas of the trans (reverse drum, vette servos, shift kit etc) approx 8k miles on the trans. He offered a trans swap across the board (my 350 for his 700) as he's going to sell his car as long as I do the work. that said I'm at a impass... my T350 has an unknown # of miles on it but performs flawlessly....but my gas milage aint so hot. I can drop the 350 out of my 50 chevy within an hour, but due to space considerations it'll most likly take half a day just to get his out...I've done all the measurements and besides moving mounts and shortening a driveline (seems that the 700R is approx 31" and my T350 is approx 28" from end to end) At this point my gut tells me to back away as to not follow the road of murphys law and tear into a friends car and have to get it going again in such a short amount of time. that said the call of a 4 speed and the gas milage improvements with a known history tranny say screw the murphys law biz and go for it as he doesnt mind if I take all the pertinent gear (TV cables/brackets etc) from the 700R....that said I've never worked on the 700R and I'm not quite understanding of the electric side of the trans (he has a simple on/off switch controlling the OD)
Basically what I'm looking for is third party views, an outside look. Is it as simple as I'm thinking? any problems I've not thought about? (I have a lokar shifter and can get a conversion kit for the 700R) Flexplates? what about them? OR leave his sled alone and get a gear vendors overdrive unit in a year or two?
My motor is a mild 400HP 350 pre-smog/202 camelbacks really nothing exeptionaly special

text: Culture 17 April 2008 Rock 'n' roll dreams I Play the Drums in a Band Called Okay Toby Litt Hamish Hamilton, 288 pp, £1 Sign up for our weekly email * "It sounded like an operatic cow yodelling in a mineshaft, after falling down the mineshaft." A studio engineer turns up the reverb, but to no avail: the lead singer's girlfriend is killing the best song. "Just because someone can hold a tambourine doesn't mean they can play it. Just because you're fucking someone doesn't mean you should give them a tambourine to hold." And certainly not a microphone. Toby Litt's ninth novel is about every band you've ever seen, listened to or been in yourself. Only they're inexplicably, enormously popular. In this story narrated by Clap, the drummer of the title, we follow Canada's answer to the Velvet Underground (. . . really) as they ride the white tiger of success and excess. The introductions are brief but revealing. "We are in a band called okay, lower case, italics." From here, it's a slippery slope to extravagant light shows, concept albums and lyrics about intergalactic warfare ("Message from the cosmos/Knowledge from the gods/Can we survive?"). Litt's writing comes to life when it cranks every rock'n'roll cliché all the way up to the proverbial 11. Hearing a "whining sound" in his periphery, Clap asks his lead singer, Syph, if he farted. Syph replies: "I don't think so . . . Was it in tune?" Predictably, okay is at its best when in full-on Spinal Tap mode. Coked-up label execs, divisive hippie girlfriends and bead-bearing Buddhist monks bustle in and out of view, while the band itself inches its way towards the next big hit (in all senses of the word). It's a messy ride. Dogs are vomited on, hotel lobbies are trashed, and women are remorselessly used and abused: "If you freak out some girl and she has hysterics at you, she's two towns behind before her slap even hits your face." While the band tours central Europe, a teenage fan insinuates herself into Syph's London hotel room and refuses to leave until they return. Clap improvises a ditty in her honour: "The girl in room 333 - She's waiting for me - Patiently - Eternally." Litt's trump card is his ability to play these moments seamlessly for laughs and pathos alike. After days on the road, they return to find her emaciated, "looking beyond-ghost: inch-thin arms and panda eyes". So, it's a shame that so much of the book's second half is devoted to the mundane neuroses of a middle-of-the-road drummer. When a fanzine asks him what he likes to read, Clap answers "e e cummings". Crab, the lead guitarist, opts for "the wine list" and Syph for "Hitler: a Study in Tyranny". Juvenile as these answers are, it's hard not to wish that Litt had chosen somebody else - someone more charismatic, or at least more charming - to be our guide. Clap complains about "the general sense of bewilderment and disorientation" that comes with band life, which for him is marked by "hours of boredom". It is a profoundly depressing and off-putting sentiment, coming from the narrator of a 280-page novel. In a chapter ominously entitled "Myself", an older Clap defines himself as "husband of one, father of two". He daydreams about haunting his wife from beyond the grave by dropping "odour of lavender" in the "passageways of our house". It's rude, but I have to ask: Who really cares? Such mawkish details jar with the sex, drugs and rock'n'roll that precede them and, frankly, they are tiresome. Late in the narrative, a heavy-handed hallucination scene brings the Clap of his early twenties together with his middle-aged self; the younger accuses the older of having nothing important to impart. "You just have anecdotes of weakness indulged and privilege taken for granted," he rails. By this point, many readers will probably agree. The overriding impression is of two separate stories unnecessarily soldered together, with neither helping to deepen or to add credibility to the other. Where Litt's subtle subversions of rock-star mythologies seem to mine an endlessly rich seam, his fortysomething everyman routine is, in a word, leaden. "Becoming middle-aged," Clap explains, "is like waking up, I mean regaining consciousness." It is telling that the novel seems so much more immediate, so much more believable, when he is living the dream. Yo Zushi is a contributing writer for the New Statesman.

Health officials warn of "potentially catastrophic consequences" if the U.S. doesn't act quickly to combat superbugs. In a first-ever report on the human toll taken by antibiotic-resistant microbes, federal officials reported that at least two million Americans fall ill, and that at least 23,000 die, from the infections annually. "Without urgent action now, more patients will be thrust back to a time before we had effective drugs," said Thomas Frieder, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Hospitals have taken steps to prevent drug-resistant infections, but less is known about preventing infections elsewhere. There still is little research, for example, on the link between antibiotic use on industrial farms and resistant germs in people. The Washington Post, The New York Times
Researchers find that gas drilling sites aren't leaking as much methane as U.S. officials and fracking critics believed. The study, led by University of Texas researchers and published by the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, is likely to ease some concerns about the climate impact of natural gas extraction. Measuring emissions at 190 sites, the study found less "fugitive methane" than previous work by the Environmental Protection Agency and some university researchers, which relied on estimates. Methane, the main ingredient in natural gas, is a potent greenhouse gas. More research must be done on other potential sources of methane leaks, such as pipelines, to definitively assess the climate impact of gas.

Health advocates push to revive programs to protect children from lead poisoning. Congress made deep cuts in spending to prevent lead poisoning in 2012, slashing the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's lead budget by more than 90 percent. But the American Academy of Pediatrics is circulating a petition to restore funding. The CDC estimates that 535,000 American kids are at high risk for lead poisoning, which causes intellectual impairments and behavioral problems. Although lead is no longer used in gasoline or paint, many children are still exposed by living in old housing with peeling paint. As FairWarning has reported, companies that made the lead pigment used in that old, flaking paint are defending themselves in a California case that could mark the last major legal assault by municipalities and states seeking damages to pay for lead removal. USA Today
Report says three of the nation's four biggest railroads are likely to miss 2015 U.S. deadline for installing safety technology. The report by the U.S. Government Accountability Office concluded that Burlington Northern Santa Fe was the only one of the four big freight railroads on track to meet the deadline mandated by a 2008 federal law. At issue is positive train control, or PTC, technology that can prevent deadly accidents by overriding human error. PTC was mandated after the 2008 train crash in Chatsworth, California that killed 25 people. The GAO report recommends that Congress should consider, among other things, giving U.S. officials authority to extend the PTC deadline on a case-by-case basis. As FairWarning reported last year, the industry has pushed hard to relax the PTC requirement and win more time to add the costly technology. The Hill
Safety regulators seek $336,200 in fines against Massachusetts wood framing contractor. The U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration accused Twin Pines Construction of Everett, Mass., of 10 violations, including four willful violations, the agency's most serious offense. OSHA faulted work sites in Reading and Plymouth, Mass., where in March a worker suffered broken ribs and leg injuries when an unbraced wooden roof truss system collapsed. OSHA accused Twin Pines of exposing workers to fall and impalement hazards, among other charges, and put the company in its Severe Violator Enforcement Program. "The large penalties proposed in these cases reflect the gravity and recurring nature of these hazards, and demonstrate this employer's knowing, active and ongoing disregard for its workers' safety," an OSHA official said.

L1: to use or not to use?
On my previous post, I wrote about the use of L1 regarding the proficiency level of the learners, and I did say there would be another post on the matter. I've been thinking about the situations in which I believe L1 can be used effectively when it comes to learning, and so far this is what I got:
Using L1 in the classroom is a much more than mere translation of words and phrases per se
I guess one of the reasons why so many teachers still frown upon the thought of using translation in the classroom is the fact that they equate any use of L1 to the boring lessons based on Grammar Translation that they had in classes. If teachers use L1 as a way to simply translate words and phrases and instantly become a walking-talking bilingual dictionary in class, there's something wrong with the use of L1 in the classroom.
In his How to teach vocabulary, Scott Thornbury says that the more informed decisions and the more we know about a word, the easier it is for us to retrieve it. I guess this applies to anything else that is being taught. If we make use of L1 to help students make a contrastive analysis of L1 and L2, if we use L1 to illustrate differences and similarities between L1 and L2, and if such use helps a learner make things more personal, then it might be a good idea to use L1 in the classroom.
One of the uses I have already found to be effective is when we use L1 to compare sayings and idioms. I do enjoy using humour in the classroom, so you'd more often than not hear me saying silly things in class. I've already noticed students, quite often, remembering something because of one of the silly jokes or anecdotes. There's nothing new there, I suppose. For instance, one day during an exam prep class, students had difficulties in one of the items that asked them to change VIABLE into a noun. When we were correcting it, I just told them that you should be rooting for your abilities. In Portuguese, we'd say "Vai, someone" when we want to encourage or support them. On many other occasions when they were asked to write the word, they made no mistakes.
Literal translations of expressions can also be used if you ask them to find the correct equivalent in L2. The point is whether or not the idea is more important than the words themselves, that'd be good use of L1.
L1 should be seen as yet another resource in the teacher's toolkit to generate understanding
Before we think about banning or using L1 in the classroom, I think we should look at it for what it is: yet another resource we have available to help learners understand what is being said in L2. Just like any other resource we have at hand such as images, mimes, drawings, songs, videos, limericks and what have you, L1 is yet another resource than, just like all others, can be used poorly or effectively. Just as we're trying to keep up with all the new technological advances in order to teach people who are more and more dependent on technology, we should stop awhile and reflect on how to properly use L1 in the classroom.
Analyse your aims and allow yourself to use L1
One of the comments to the last post, Andrea's, were exactly about this. If you have decided that your learners should talk for 10 minutes of the lessons, and you are asked a vocabulary question while they're doing the activity, you have to decide on how to deal with this doubt. Well, if you expect THEM to do the talk and there's an allotted time, and you know it'll take you quite a while to explain the word(s), it makes a lot more sense for you to simply translate it outright. In 2 seconds, students are ready to continue with their talk, and you won't have got in the way of their stream of thought. Needless to say, it'd be nice to find a way to go back to these vocabulary questions later on so as to recycle, revisit, retrieve… well, what we usually do to help them with vocabulary.
Your learners can't get used to speaking L1 and getting an answer
In a monolingual class, and when the teacher shares the L1 with the learners, it's quite easy to hear what students are saying in L1 and reply. I honestly think teachers should train themselves not to respond to what learners say in L1 on most occasions. More often than not, students use L1 to make remarks which are unrelated to the topic of the lesson, or it's something that they have already learned how to say in L2. We can't, obviously, simply become completely oblivious to any L1 utterance in class. The point is being able to correctly judge whether or not that's something that really needs an answer or if it's something that learners are saying just because they don't want to participate in the class. Are they being lazy, or they really can't say what they are trying to say in L2? I've already seen students who can clearly understand what their teachers say in L2, but can't say the same things in L2. Comprehensible input is important, but comprehensible output is equally as important. If you don't require them to use what they've learned in L2 from the very beginning, this is likely to become fossilized, and it'll be harder and harder for them to use L2 as structures become more complex.
It's somewhat complicated to prevent learners from sharing opinions in their L1 among themselves, but we can get there by showing them we're paying attention to our surroundings and listening to instances of L1 in the classroom.
Is that all?
Absolutely not! This is not meant to be a comprehensive list – it's just a couple of thoughts regarding the use of L1 in class that I wanted to share with you and perhaps hear what you've got to say. I always try to keep an open mind when it comes to receiving criticism, and if by any chance I have to come back here and contradict everything I've said thus far, no problems! Fortunately no one is the bearer of the ultimate truth! Just like with anything else, use your common sense when it comes to use of L1 in the classroom. This means that you ought to be actively listening to your students and teaching according to their reactions. Fortunately, there's no definitive guide to the classroom, and I don't there'll ever be one! 🙂
November 1, 2011 at 6:50 pm
Good ideas! No need to be a fundamentalist either for or against the use of L1 in class. I totally agree to the idea of handling L1 as another supporting resource rather than placing it at the methodological core of the teaching-learning process or to definitely reject it.
November 2, 2011 at 12:57 pm
I agree immersion is the right way to L2 natural acquisition but, according to my experience, the classroom is no natural setting at all – at least it is not so for secondary compulsory education – and there's a series of constraints such as timing, grading, group size, motivation, etc that determine quality, quantity and nature of the students' outcome. I always foster the use of L2 in class, and L2 is always used in teacher-student(s), student(s)-teacher, communication, and most students use it when they're addressing the whole group; however, all the kids share L1, so it's difficult and/or unnatural for them to use a foreing language for one-to-one small talk. Nevertheless, I'm sure students will feel more at ease when tackling a foreing language in different settings (highly motivated learners, multicultural or smaller groups, adults, …). Besides, as it's been mentioned above, I agree that L1 comes handy when students face new idioms or to explain semantic nuances.
November 2, 2011 at 6:23 pm
Hey, guys!
Well, I agree that the more exposure to L2 a student gets the better. However, I do believe L1 has its place in the classroom if we take the learner's perspective.
Let me put you in the picture: I teach teens and kids, who come to the course only twice a week, mostly not because of the learning itself, but because they will get to chat a little more with their friends – needless to say these are monolingual groups. As any other YLs classroom the energy levels are high, the excitement is there and the behavior issues are certainly part of it too. I just find it impossible that these kids will just shut up and not produce a single word unless it is in English. That just won't happen.
Some reasons why: 1- they are really excited to talk about something 'extra' that the language they have is simply not enough – plus the speed of their thoughts won't allow them to get their message across in L2 yet (too much brain processing); 2- they might be just too young and not mature enough to understand they should try and use English whenever possible; 3- they are there because their parents told them so, and not using L2 is their way of rebelling against.
How the teacher will react to those uses is the key to have them little by little abandoning L1 and choosing L2. I'm so pro the use of L1 as part of a teacher's toolkit!
I think students using L1 in class is not a big issue as long as they cope with the activities they are invited to do in L2. I try not to 'understand' what they're saying in L1, though. If you do the right tricks, by the end of the course they will all be using L2 naturally. Also, if they relate to the teacher in English most of the times and those which are not in L2 are just because they didn't find a way to express what they wanted to, I wouldn't give them a killing look. Instead, I'd praise them for the attempt, help with the language (or provoke them to find it) and come up with a situation to make them need to use that language again, now in L2.
As for the VYPs (very young people), the holophrastic stage in L2 would do fine! =)

I like the article and I think the common sense always helps.

This is great, but unfortunately, in places like Japan, L1 is completely forbidden in use by learners under the care of a native English speaker, and by the native English teacher themselves. Obviously, they're are perfectly valid reasons to use l1 (the learners are showed to use l1 only with Japanese teachers mainly), but if a parent or adult learner encounters or hears that (Japanese, as they don't care about other learners' first language use if they are from different countries, usually, even if they are in the classroom) is used, the teacher will either be reprimanded and/or asked to speak only English. In some cases, I've been asked to IGNORE learners speaking Japanese.
What's frustrating is, even with a full, Trinity College Diploma in ELT, most Japanese bosses, parents or staff will ignore foreigners' English teaching skills and experience, in order to placate the ignorance of parents just enough to make money.
So, if you want to use L1 in teaching, don't come to Japan!
