Return of the Living Dead 3 is a 1993 American romantic horror film.[1] The film is the second sequel in the Return of the Living Dead film series but bears little resemblance to its predecessors, as it drops the comedy of those films and replaces it with a larger focus on horror, science fiction, and romantic themes. The Trioxin substance from previous films also carry over, but with different effects from previous films in the series. Like the zombies in previous films of the series, these tend to run rather than walk or limp and are fixated on eating brains. These zombies seem to infect their victims by biting them whereas, in the two previous films, only exposure to Trioxin (in either its natural gas state or in water that had been exposed to Trioxin) could turn a corpse into a zombie.
On December 9, 1993, when Curt Reynolds (J. Trevor Edmond) steals his father's security key card, he and his girlfriend, Julie Walker (Melinda Clarke), decide to explore the military base where his father works. Using the card, they sneak into a hangar and observe Curt's father, Col. John Reynolds (Kent McCord), Col. Peck (James T. Callahan) and Lt. Col. Sinclair (Sarah Douglas) overseeing an experiment with a corpse.
The corpse is exposed to 2-4-5 Trioxin gas, which re-animates the corpse into a zombie. The military hopes to use the zombies in combat as nigh-unstoppable soldiers. However, the zombies are impossible to control as they have a terrible hunger for human brains that causes them to constantly attack.
To deal with the zombies' vicious nature, Sinclair has a plan to permanently attach the zombies to exoskeletons that will also immobilize them when they are not in battle. Reynolds prefers to use a method referred to as "paretic infusion" to paralyze the zombie until it is needed. This is accomplished by firing a chemical projectile into the forehead of the zombie that causes an endothermic reaction that freezes the zombie's brain and temporarily immobilizes it.
When the paretic infusion method is tested on the zombie in the lab, it is successful for only a few moments before the effect wears off much faster than was expected; the zombie breaks free and attacks a scientist by biting his fingers off and then bashing his head against a wall until he is killed. Infected by the zombie's bite, the scientist almost immediately re-animates and attacks one of the other technicians. The initial zombie and the reanimated scientist are then paralyzed with bullets and the survivors in the room are quarantined. Reynolds is removed from the project for his failure and is reassigned to Oklahoma City, while Sinclair is promoted to head of the project.
Some time later, Col. Reynolds informs Curt that they'll be moving again (something they've done a dozen times in Curt's life already) and Curt refuses. Angrily, he storms out of home, riding off on his motorcycle with Julie. While they are speeding down the road, Julie playfully grabs Curt's crotch, causing him to lose control of the motorcycle. He veers into the path of an oncoming truck, swerves and slams into the guard rail. Julie is thrown from the bike and into a telephone pole; the impact breaks her neck and kills her.
Distraught, Curt brings Julie's corpse back to the military base. Using his father's key card, he accesses the Trioxin gas to reanimate her. This leads to Julie & Curt dealing with the effects of Julie being dead - not feeling pain and having no desire to eat normal food - and what they are to do about her condition.
After leaving the base Julie gets very hungry and Curt stops by a store. A gang of four Mexicans talk about her, Curt gets angry and hits one of them by mistake. The shopkeeper has a gun; when things go bad one of the gang fights over the gun, shooting the shopkeeper. Julie then bites the man who shot him. The alarm goes off and the gang runs off, shooting Curt's bike before leaving. While Curt and Julie are in the van, the wounded shopkeeper asks for help. As Curt drives the van, Julie is overcome by her hunger for brains and attacks the shopkeeper, eating some of his brains before Curt stops her.
The gang chases Julie and Curt through the city, not realizing what is happening to their infected friend. Julie and Curt decide to hide from the gang in the sewers, where they encounter Riverman, a vagrant who takes them in and hides them. He gives Curt a coin, and tells him "if you meet someone, do them some good, then tell them to pass it on."
Julie discovers that extreme pain seems to temporarily make the cravings to feed on humans go away. She pierces and mutilates her flesh with various items of junk found around Riverman's lair, until she is adorned with spikes, nails, and shards of glass sticking out of her flesh, giving her an extremely unsettling appearance.
The gang eventually tracks Julie and Curt down. Julie seduces the gang leader and attacks and kills him and then uses her new decorations to stab, beat, and otherwise kill the rest of the gang. Julie's body starts to become accustomed to the pain over time, and she turns on Riverman, infecting and killing him. Things seem hopeless for Curt, with Julie's current state and the re-animation of the gang, when the military arrive and neutralizes all of the zombies (including Julie).
When all of the zombies are captured, Curt realizes Julie is going to be used as a weapon and goes into a rage, freeing the zombies which then kill the soldiers. In the commotion the base is set on fire and Curt is bitten by a zombie. Curt's father tries to get Curt to leave but he realizes that by doing this he would be abandoning Julie, and he knows that he is infected. So, Curt and Julie go to the furnace to die together. Julie asks where they are, Curt says "where we belong" they kiss one last time and then burn.

Critical reception of the film is mixed with the film receiving a score of 44% based on 9 reviews tallied on the review aggregating website Rotten Tomatoes.[2] Entertainment Weekly gave it a B+ and said "it's chock-full of brain-munching zombies, campy dialogue, and gross anatomical effects-but it's that touch of amore that makes this one so special." Allmovie wrote, "Although it features the same vaguely punk-derived fashion sense and many of the same plot elements as its predecessors, the third effort in the Return of the Living Dead series lacks much of the goofy entertainment value of the previous installments."[3] Zombiemania: 80 Movies to Die For author Arnold T. Blumberg wrote that "Clarke tries to make the most of her after-death angst," but that the film was "little more than a twisted catalogue of fetishistic imagery for horror movie aficionados keen to have a female zombie they can actually find attractive."[4]
Production notes[edit]
The following production notes were noted in the October 1993 issue of Fangoria magazine (#127):
- The film had a 24-day shooting schedule using two camera crews (one for principal photography, one for extensive 2nd-unit FX) at Santa Clarita Studios in Los Angeles, with Melrose Place filming next door.
- Director/producer Brian Yuzna was disappointed with the lack of screen time for his previous female monster creation in Bride of Re-Animator and wanted "Julie" to have a far bigger presence.
- Yuzna had been aiming to do a ROTLD sequel for years and was Trimark's first choice to direct.
- Brian Peck ("Scuzz" in ROTLD and various zombies in ROTLD II) returns to play a government agent in this film. He is the only actor to appear in all three films.
- Julie's full zombie look required 100 different pieces, an application process that originally took 9 hours but was eventually cut down to 6, not including glamour make-up.
- Five different FX companies (including Steve Johnson's XFX) were used during the shoot due to the tight schedule and number of effects in the film.
- Hellraiser III and Waxwork director Anthony Hickox plays one of the government scientists who is killed early in the film by a test zombie.
- The welded-metal exoskeleton worn by Riverman weighed 75 pounds and was designed by Tim Ralston.
- The film was released Unrated on VHS in addition to the R-Rated theater cut. Yuzna trimmed "between 50 and 60" moments to get the R Rating.

I have been drawing all my life and have added the lessons that I have learned into my artwork. My range is vast...from anime to life drawing, Heavy Metal rage to cute and fuzzy bunnies and all points in between. A more "time honored" approach I guess but you can see the work that is put in when you know something is done by hand.
Then of course I run the artwork through CS5 and bring them to "life".

The 9mm design case length maximum is 0.754". Trim-to-length dimension is a different story; Lyman specs 0.751" and Hornady specs 0.749" - hardly enough to natter about. Most auto-pistol cartridges "headspace" on the case mouth, which means that the cartridge moves forward in the chamber until the bullet end of the case reaches a 'step' in the chamber. That provides a repeatable locating point; revolvers typically use the rim of the case to provide a locating reverence. Typically, brass cartridge cases expand when fired, and over time (and for other reasons) the case will stretch. If it stretches beyond the design length, the case will protrude further from the chamber than it's supposed to, which may cause function and firing problems. The "trim to length" number given is a dimension that allows for a reasonable amount of case stretch with repeated firing or reloaded cases. Just as a data point, I've reloaded about 10,000 .45 ACP rounds since I began to reload, and random case measurements have never revealed one over max length. The 9mm operates at a higher pressure so it's more likely to stretch, but my point is that you need not be overly concerned with case length. I don't know anyone who trims handgun brass for anything below .44 magnum power-level.
What is of greater concern to the handgun reloader is the OAL (overall length) of the loaded cartridge. For a given charge weight of powder and bullet design, a shorter OAL means the bullet is seated more deeply and the resultant case pressures and bullet velocities will be higher than for a longer OAL. You really do have to pay attention to bullet seating depth, especially with high-pressure cartridges like 9mm and .40 S&W. The old .38 Spl and .45 ACP operate at much lower pressures and bullet seating depth, while important, is less critical. Autoloading pistols also are fussier about OAL - too short or too long won't feed or won't chamber completely. You'll just have to find the sweet spot for your gun and your load.
In addition to your Lyman manual I highly recommend either the Hornady or the Lee, or preferably both. No one manual shows the recipes for all the combinations of bullets and powders, and by God, there's a lot of 'em out there. I would start by picking a bullet weight and style you want to use, then look at the recipes and study them for differences in velocity, and see if overall length is a contributor to those variations. A few thousandths of an inch are meaningless, but OALs varying by more than 0.020" or so are something to pay attention to.Lots of bullet makers offer 115 gr FMJ, but Lyman just doesn't show recipes for them. The JHP data isn't vastly different than the FMJ rounds, so you can use the JHP data for your FMJs... just don't start at the "Max Load" charge weight. There's a bigger difference between lead and jacketed then between FMJ and JHP.The Lyman is the only manual I have and the only 115 gr "recipe" they have is for Jacked HP. Does the grains or OAL change significantly between FMJ and JHP?I think the "TMJ" (total metal jacket") designation is just Speer's. Another maker's 147 grain jacketed bullet should be very close to the Lyman data published for the 147 TMJ.For the 147 recipe they list that as TMJ. The appendix says this is Totally Metal Jacket (Speer). Is this just speer's version of a FMJ? Would using a non speer bullet use the same specs?
Hope this helps.

K2 slayblade or turbo dream
I would like to know what u guys think about the k2 slayblade, is it good for a intermediate rider?? im from Brazil nd since theres no snow here i only get to ride when i go to chile or europe. I would say that im a intermediate rider since ive been to chile a couple of times and i lived in the us for a year in north carolina.
I ride pretty much everything from park to powder and im tired of renting shitty boards for a really high price here in south america. My options are limited by the sellers from ebay that ship to brazil ... Im 6,1(1m86) and weight 195lb.

Love the TurboDream myself but the Slayblade will be better unless you ride ALLOT of powder.
just my .02$ good luck
I would also say go for the Slayblade.
I haven't had the chance to ride the Turbo Dream but when I rode the Slayblade I loved it.
If you really ride everything, go with the Turbo Dream. The Slayblade will be too freeride oriented.
I agree with Basti. I was in between these two boards as well. I went the Turbo Dream and I am really happy with it. If you really do ride everything it's hard to go wrong with it.

The year the Slayblade came out it won the triple crown of snowboard reviews, with that said I ride a 2010 TurboDream and honestly the board is so epic in the deep snow and trees I see no reason to replace it as long as I spend winters in Utah.
When others are sinking in and slowing down I'm floating ontop with my 157wide(and I weight 200lbs) but if I was still spending winters in the Midwest I'd be on a Slayblade but then again I don't play in the park or anything like that requiring board flex so that may be an issue....I rode Burton T6's for years so even the Slayblade was heavy and soft compared to one of those.
Is the Slayblade not suited well for powder? I saw one on sale and was thinking of grabbing it to replace my Ride Timeless and Yukon as an everyday board.
idk how big price is a factor for you, but I was about to find a K2 Turbo Dream from last season for under 289 im not sure if that is that great of a discount to you but i pulled the trigger
won't be riding it until xmas but the harshmellow is a cool tech, and the graphics are awesome

That's a good deal
The Slaybpade is great for powder it's just that the Turbodreams camber and shape is more "powder board like" that the Slaybpade which I believe is more freeride/all mountain.

Office of Public Affairs

SEIU wins four and loses 39 units, with one unit in doubt
Employees at more than a dozen hospitals and long-term care facilities in the Cincinnati area voted in NLRB-conducted elections throughout the day Thursday on the question of whether or not to join the Service Employees International Union. In all, the elections took in 44 units of professional and non-professional employees, with nearly 6,600 eligible voters. All facilities are owned by Catholic Healthcare Partners.
Preliminary results released today show that the majority of employee units rejected union representation. The four units voting in favor of joining the union were: nonprofessional employees at Springfield Regional Medical Center (509 total employees); non-professional employees at Mercy Memorial Hospital Urbana (27 total employees); technical employees at Mercy Memorial Hospital Urbana (28 total employees); employees at Mercy McAuley Center (108 total).
The one unit still in doubt is RNs at Mercy Memorial Hospital Urbana (35 total), where there were 12 votes in favor, 12 votes against, with one challenged ballot. A tie goes against the union, as a majority vote is required.
The election process was a cooperative one in which the hospital chain and the union agreed not to campaign against each other. The only materials distributed to employees were jointly-created materials explaining the election process. The election was requested by the employer under an RM Election Petition, which was filed on January 17.
The National Labor Relations Board is an independent federal agency vested with the power to safeguard employees' rights to organize and to determine whether to have unions as their bargaining representative. The agency also acts to prevent and remedy unfair labor practices committed by private sector employers and unions.

|Minimum Stay
|6 nights
2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a full kitchen, and washer/dryer. What a bargain! Tremendous value for families. Central location places it just minutes from Colonial Williamsburg, Busch Gardens, Water Country, golfing, and Premium Outlets.
In addition to offering the ideal location Powhatan Plantation Resort is packed with family friendly amenities including: 4 outdoor swimming pools, indoor pool, fitness center, hot tubs, tennis, racket ball, basketball courts, walking trails, on site grill and bar, lakes with fishing, playground, 18 hole miniature golf, picnic areas, and organized craft activities for all ages.
Condo was very clean and spacious. Lots of family activities every day. Very nice place to stay. Edith was nice and easy to wok wih.
Enjoyable in and out of the complex. Shopping and activities kept us busy even when the weather wasn't cooperating with us. The history to absorb is so incredible that it's difficult to get all the sites in before our stay ended. Great for families or just to get away and relax!
Check-in was a snap with a large family with small children. We could not have asked for better service. Our house was clean and all the appliances worked. It was nice have multiple floors to split families, as we were visiting with our in-laws. Loved the mattresses, it was firm without being hard and gave the best rest I've had in years. The sofa-sleeper was comfortable for sitting on during the day and easily transformed into needed beds for the kids in the evenings, no complaints! The grounds are amazing, very well maintained with geese and ducks all about for the kids to watch. The resort was quiet and away from traffic and or summer time crowds, creating a serene setting with picturesque views. We took the kids to the indoor pool and it was great way to beat the heat; clean, and uncrowded like public pools I am used to taking the family to. We also took part in bingo and miniature golf located on site during our stay and we were pleasantly surprised. Games and movies are available for rental and checkout from the activity center. I absolutely recommend this resort to anyone needing a clean and safe family getaway with great activities, on and off site.
The condo we rented was very comfortable. It provided all the necessities. The master bedroom was spacious and private. There was a nice size patio to enjoy my morning tea. The pool was clean and never over crowded. Outlet shopping and restaurants were only a short drive away.
I enjoyed the location and amenities of this site. Traveling to historical sites and/or staying closer to home made our vacations easy going and affordable. Its great for people with and without children. Can't wait to get back there again!
We selected Powhatan due to its central location between Richmond and Newport as a base of operations to visit the numerous Colleges and Universities located in the area for a high school senior son getting ready for college. The spacious rooms were beautifully setup with everything we needed for the visit, clean and ready for use: dishes, utensils, full laundry, refrigerator, microwave, toaster, coffee maker and dishwasher. The beds were very comfortable and the bedding was clean and soft with the bathrooms coming furnished with toiletries. Once we finished looking at campuses, we took advantage of how close Colonial Williamsburg, Busch Gardens, and Water Country USA are for a couple of days of adventure. Outstanding facility and I cannot wait to visit again!
You will want to see Colonial Williamsburg, Bush Gardens, and Water Country.

OSU's Second Amendment Center Runs Out of Ammo [Robert VerBruggen]
Ohio State University's Second Amendment Center, funded largely by the anti-gun Joyce Foundation, has called it quits. Randy Barnett has details over at the Volokh Conspiracy.
Barnett argues that the Center closed because its purpose to argue against an individual-right interpretation of the Second Amendment was rendered moot by Heller. In NR last year, I detailed how the Joyce Foundation funded law-review symposia on the Second Amendment (subscribers can read my piece here).
Whatever the Foundation and Center's problems, I found the Center's head, Prof. Saul Cornell, very sincere in his Second Amendment beliefs and very willing to speak about the controversial law reviews. Even if Barnett is correct in his reasoning of why the center closed, I'm not sure it's all that sinister my piece was before Heller, and I remember Cornell telling me something to the effect that he'd just as soon the Supreme Court resolve the issue so he could move on to other things.
After Heller, there isn't a whole lot to be accomplished, practically speaking, from studying the history of the Second Amendment (unless you think you can prevent the Amendment's incorporation or dramatically impact its scope). I don't think an academic institution should try to push the debate in a specific direction, but I do think such institutions should focus on topics on which the debate has somewhere to go.

Engine build help 383 2 bolt 1 pc crank
Hi everyone I have been a long time reader and first time poster, I have been a bowtie guy about a decade ago and now I am getting into the swing of things.
The Car 79' camaro - Long story short, I was told it was a 350, built and bored.... TH350 3.73 gears yadda yadda yadda.
What I got, a 305 2.70 gears no kickdown cable as its to short cause the car originally came with a 6Cyl.
What I did (headgasket went bad) (found out the 5.0 situation) took a set of 062" vortecs bolted them on and put in a 420 I/E cam runs better rebuilt the Carb. (actually former GM carb rebuild trainer from the early 80's built it)
I have a 350 2 bolt vortec block with roller lifters. I want to make 400 HP 400 - 425 Ft lbs. reliably and affordably I have a good relationship with my local machinst and I am a full time Auto Technician.
I am planning on a 383 engine with this kit,
I called and chatted with them and they seem like a decent bunch of guys.
Does anyone have a better deal?
This is my intake
I need help with a CAM selection, and Carb Selection (can I tune the Q-jet to handle the added cubes.
These will be my springs for the Heads to handle extra lift.
Will the stock 1.5 1.4 valves be sufficient or should I go to 2.02 1.60's
I am running a 3.73 Limited slip in an 8.5" 10 bolt rear end.
Which I picked up out of a 87 Burb with factory LSD.
I know its a lot ??? I am looking for an affordable setup that will error on the side of torque and great streetability I need it to handle 93 octane in VA,
Remember I have a freshly built set of Vortecs on the motor currently and a set of 1 5/16 headers as well.
Lets start figuring this out.
2. In my opinion, the pistons have insufficient flat area on the crown to generate a good squish. Also, nowhere can I find the compression height of the pistons. If they are 1.425", then they are the correct piston compression height, but they still lack enough flat area for me to use them.
3. In a 383 with 64cc heads and 12cc pistons, static compression ratio will be on the order of 10.3:1, too high in my opinion for a daily driver. You'll have to use quite a bit of cam, which will require quite a bit of converter and quite a bit of gear. I'd want to use 18cc pistons to bring the SCR down to around 9.7:1 so I could use a shorter cam and less converter. Actually, I'd rather bring the SCR down to less than 9.5 for a daily driver, but the piston choice gets a little thin.
"These Professional Products CrossWind Vortec manifolds are intended for 1995 and earlier blocks using the 1996 and later Vortec (Gen 1+) cylinder heads or the Edelbrock E-Tec heads. They can also be used on 1996 and later Vortec engines, but require running a short length of heater hose from a pipe tapped hole in the front of the manifold to the 5/8 in. hose nipple on the passenger's side of the water pump. The 1996 and later Vortec blocks do not have a water bypass in the block, and this minor modification takes care of that problem."

a good reliable engine takes good reliable parts, I am not bashing Skip White I have bought a few things from him and I can say he is good with his warranties which I don't care to ever find that out about a store. I would be very leary about buying that kit, that is a very low price for a kit with forged pistons and everything else it comes with it is very low priced. Look at this kit from summit that is comparable to what you are looking at http://www.summitracing.com/parts/SCA-1-41755BIE/ I don't know how he is selling it for that low of a cost unless he is selling blemished items or the pistons are not forged, I don't think you need forged pistons just a good set of Hypereutectic aluminums will do just fine. Maybe check out something like this this kit has pistons with a d shaped cup that will help out with your quench area http://www.summitracing.com/parts/SCA-1-91100/ I wouldn't spend the money on a balance kit, I would buy everything and then take it to you machine shop to have it balanced, this is the correct way to have it done.
As far as the intake I would stick with an intake from a name brand manufacturer, I would go with something like this http://www.summitracing.com/parts/EDL-7116/ I have heard complaints about knock off intakes not sealing correctly and having intake leaks, maybe not right away but not very far down the road. I have also heard of bolt holes not lining up. Spend the extra few bucks and purchase a name brand intake, edelbrock seems to be the leader of intakes.
Same thing with the valve springs, you could probably get a more quality set of springs more a few more doll hairs.
The very first purchase I would recommend to you before buying any parts is this http://www.summitracing.com/parts/SAD-SA57/
There is other people on this site that can give you a lot better info than I can, hopefully tech, cobalt, and bogie, and others will help you out

Honestly, you don't need a 383 to make 400hp. A well built and tuned 355 will get there pretty easily and for a lot less $$$$.
Thanks I like what I see,
I forgot to ask about screw in studs, I am accomplished enough to drill and tap for screwins, but pins sure are cheap.... LOL
I am an automotive technician by trade, but again the last time I ventured into building an SBC I was 17 and that was 10 yrs ago. Since then its been a SOHC stroked Ford, and a 4.6 SOHC and a couple imports *gasp*
I am looking into the squish and a lower comp. piston. I was afraid that my calculations were also showing 10.4:1 the heads were decked some to make up for the 58CC 305 heads that came off. (due to a bad gasket and being to quick doll about bills for a fairly clean car never take a sellers word check casting #s)
Also with a 500 cam I am seeing better feelings on safety for piston to valve in case something starts to go horribly wrong and better street characteristics.
In regards to the Forged, Forged kit, I really don't need it, its wasted money when I can spend money in other areas 400 HP is a low target and a safe target.
On building a 350.
350 - I want a stump pulling Low R motor, A rebuild for a 1 pc crank engine is 600 and change with cheap crank and rods whereas a 383 kit is only a little more and the torque gain is much superior.
Again this is a street car, that needs to be able to move from light to light and be comfortable on the highway relatively speaking.
I installed 2 built 4.6 ford motors about 4 yrs ago (for customers) 1 was a standard stage 1 cam 10:1 motor with a 5.1 Stroker kit, the other was a 10.8:1 stage 2 head, stage 3 cam 4.6 disp. both had the same exhaust and the same and same bolt ons. The stroker was a billion times better on the street quicker out of the hole and had the smoke the tires feel, despite being the weaker HP and lower dollar parts, and the stroker is still running the stage 3 motor blew up twice under warranty for reasons only Coast High Performance Knows.
thanks guys and I have a how to 350 book in Michigan where I grew up I'll grab it when I visit the parents over christmas.
Also would you pay to have a machine shop short block it? or should I man up and do it myself?
Also does anyone know of a place to get a good kit? Summit and jegs are great but they are $$$ over internet sites usually. This is part of the help I need. Thanks.
Oh and yeah I am a little nervous about buying springs from a guy online but I must say that a few years back Ray Krebil was telling me that the cast stuff that Scat and Eagle were getting were coming from the same place and that it was the same stuff a lot Cheap aftermarkets were selling the forged stuff was a different story.
And the intake i have on the 305 accepts a Q-jet no problem I might have had the wrong link I'll check my history.
Crussel the Summit kit you showed me is a forged crank for 1595 the same from Skip white is 1200, and in bulk it makes a little sense IMO.
And I will get this setup checked for balance on a Sunnen at Kowalsky's Machine or Sonny's in Rustburg VA or Lynchburg Va.
I'm going to ask Skip about rods and -18CC D shaped pistons. I will let you guys know thanks.
i am a little more concerned about this guy
I have to say if you buy the kit from Skip White, run through it with a fine tooth comb. Im not saying their bad, I have just bought some real junk from him in the past.
I built my 383 with a block from a 94 k1500, not sure of casting numbers right now, but it was a 2 bolt 1 piece seal and I didn't have to clearance the block for the rotating assembly, I purchased the same kit that you are looking at from my local auto parts with the scat rods with the 12 point bolts.
Where at in Michigan?
grew up in Greenville Mi, family in Grand rapids (Ronda Tire its owned by my uncles now)
Thanks for the heads up, I plan to call over to skip white I was leery of the price as I couldn't find anything close with all the "guarantees"
Now I also should say I have a good SBC crank and I could go with the 355 but by the time I turn it and balance it I am in the Skip White Price hence my leaning on the 383.
I wouldn't pay them to short block it, unless they will do it for very cheap and you know the shop is reputable. I think the short block is where all the enjoyment of the build is at. Just make sure you hang the pistons on the rods correctly if you get bushed rods, and that your ring alignment is correct.
I like this style of compressor for installing rings http://www.summitracing.com/parts/SME-904030/ it is the way to go for beginners, the adjustable can be a pita.
As you install the rotating assembly every time you install a piston turn the engine over with a torque wrench set to 40-45ft lbs if you go over that much there is something wrong. I just stack a bunch of flat warshers (i love when people say that, or warsh, hehe) on the balancer bolt and thread it in the crank snout to turn the engine over with the torque wrench, if you don't like the sounds of that here is this tool, i'm not sure of the socket size it would take but it is probably a pretty big socket. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/SUM-901064/
Send Mike Lewis at Lewis Racing an email for a quote on a rotating assembly balanced in house by him: firstname.lastname@example.com
He uses Scat,Probe,SRP,etc. Does excellent work,has a great reputation and his service cant be beat.
I have used a 383 kit from him as well as a 496 BBC kit....tell him Lonnie from Louisiana sent ya.
actually........When I purchased my 383 rotating assembly my machine shop sent it off to, I believe the shop is called Banks Performance or something like that, they are out of Grand Rapids, MI. Maybe you would want to give them a jingle and see if they can help you out. I had my rotating assembly balanced there for 150 bucks almost 3 years ago. They stamped my crank with the balance file number or whatever it is (that way if you need a piston or rod or something like that they can weight match it). I am not sure the name of it I would have to look at my paperwork when I get home to let you know for sure.
Maybe just check with your local machine shop and see what he can do for a total price for you, rotating assembly, machine work, gaskets, bearing, oil pump, and if you want him to assemble the lower end, you may not be able to beat the price if you give him the entire parts list for the project. He may even have stuff sitting on the shelf that he is wanting to move from having it to long or has ordered it for someone and they burnt him on it.

I agree they are good folks to deal with, I know their warranties are good, but I am not happy about it.
I bought a water pump from him once,
1st pump: didn't pump water at all, sent me a new pump, no q's asked
2nd pump: flange came off with engine running and stuck the fan is my radiator, again sent out a new pump, no questions asked. Wouldn't replace radiator, but sent me $150 doll hairs worth of free merchandise of my choice
3rd pump: has been sitting on the shelf for over a year now, never will put it on, just went back to a stock pump from auto value for 25 bucks and pumps better than the aluminum high volume pump I tried to buy.
I am very happy with White Performance's customer service, I am just saying I would look the stuff over with a fine tooth comb before I threw it in a two thousand doll hair engine

decision facilitation
Comment from sharon drew morgen (not verified) on Tue, 07/20/2010 - 11:34
just a comment to add 2 cents about the buying decision journey. sales has been focused on needs assessment and solution placement which has caused untold loss of closed sales and paltry closing rates. but now, with technology taking over so much of the seller's process, sellers are not meeting quota.
i'd like to throw my hat into the ring to begin a conversation about the buying decision journey, which i've been writing books/articles/blogs about for decades. indeed, once the seller adds a decision facilitation portion to their sales model, they can increase sales by a very large percent.
i'm talking 'managing change' here - not sales. because until or unless buying decision teams buy in to a new solution, they will not buy regardless of the need or efficacy of the solution. and sales does not handle this private portion of the buyer's decision.

Wednesday September 19
We ate breakfast at the hotel then took the ferry to Bellagio. We used a public phone to call the Cavalcalario Club to find out about horseback riding. The owner (Lucca) said he would pick us up at the Bellagio post office in a half an hour. We ate a piece of pizza and gelato near the ferry dock while waiting to be picked up. Lucca picked us up and drove us to his house where he set us up with two horses to ride. We went on an hour ride for 30 euro and Lucca followed us on his bicycle. Lucca then rode us back down to the Bellagio ferry dock where we walked around the shops. We took the ferry back to the hotel stopping at various towns on the lake.
We rested and then drove to Cadenabbia to take the ferry, which runs later than the one by the hotel. We then took the ferry to Bellagio and walked to eat at Salice Blue (the best meal we had in Europe pasta with lobster sauce, seafood scampi, beef tenderloin, chocolate soufflé). The owner and chef, Luigi, rode us down to the ferry dock so we wouldn't miss the last ferry back to Cadenabbia.

Home / Great Wall / Construction / Material
Construction Material of Great Wall
Before the use of bricks, the wall was mainly built from earth, stones and wood. Due to the large quantity of materials required to construct the wall, the builders always tried to use local sources. When building over the mountain ranges, the stones of the mountain were exploited and used; while in the plains, earth was rammed into solid blocks to be used in construction. In the desert, even the sanded reeds and juniper tamarisks were used.
Before and during the Qin Dynasty (221BC-206BC), because the earth buildings could withstand the strength of weapons like swords and spears and there was low technology of productivity, the Great Wall was basically built by stamping earth between board frames. As such, only walls of plain earth or earth with gravel inside were built. No fortresses were constructed along the wall, nor bricks used in the construction of gates at the passes. Some of the walls were even made only from piles of crude stones. Around Dunhuang City in Gansu Province, Yulin City in Shaanxi Province and Baotou City in Inner Mongolia, sites can still be found from the Great Wall of Qin, Han and Zhao. The Wall of Zhao was built during the Warring States Period using board frames, and the layers of earth can still be clearly seen.
|Mutianyu Section
Made of Bricks and Stones
Bricks were used in a lot of areas during the Ming Dynasty, as well as materials such as tiles and lime. Attempts were always made to produce the materials locally, so kiln workshops were established to burn the crude material. In a construction team there was Material Supply Department. For example, in Juyongguan Pass names of supply departments such as kiln workshops, stone ponds and material supply departments were recorded. Some materials, such as the timbers for the construction of the passes, did have to be transported from outside areas when there were none available locally.
Bricks were more a convenient material than earth and stone as their small size and light weight made them convenient to carry and thus quickened the speed of construction. Bricks are also the ideal material to bear the weight. According to a sample experiment experiencing gravity and erosion over a hundred years, the compressive strength, resistance to freezing and absorbency of the bricks of the time are similar to today's common bricks. A huge brick from a hundred years ago showed a high level of technological skill for that time. For further ease of construction, different shapes of brick were also burned and made to stuff into different positions.
Stone, however, still has its advantages. Cut in rectangular shapes, they were mostly used to build the foundation, inner and outer brims, and gateways of the wall. In the Badaling section, the wall is made almost entirely of granite, some of green and white stones and some of white marble. The stone material was found to better resist efflorescence than bricks.
It is not only because of the high level of productivity of the time that hard material like bricks and stones were used in the construction, but also because of the development of weapons. Before the Ming Dynasty, the wall was built from board frames and, although not very solid, could withhold simple weapons like swords, spears and bows. But during the Ming Dynasty, gunpowder became available. The musket, blunderbuss and cannon appeared. Due to the use of these weapons, more solid bricks and stones were required to build a stronger wall.
The Great Wall of China embodies the great systems of defense created during the wars of the time; moreover it indicates a great achievement in architecture.

The ban in a importation BAN on specific SC ammo.
This has/had NOTHING to do with the AWB.
Just curious, and not sure where to put this question. So... In here it goes, move it if needed.
7.62 x 39 Steel Core, I personally own some, legal in my state so no biggie. But the people selling it (even still on gunbroker) say it was banned in 1994. I'm assuming they meant the assult-weapons ban, which has since expired.
So is steel core rifle ammo still banned, or has that since been lifted. I only ask because the prices have not really gone down. I don't see any new stock. I guess there's no big draw to it anyhow... I'm really just curious.
The ban in a importation BAN on specific SC ammo.
This has/had NOTHING to do with the AWB.
Yeah.. I was just about to post that I figured that out myself...
Thanks for the quick reply anyhow. My curiosity has been filled. Thanks!
Can you tell us if it is legal to own in GEORGIA?
That is a BIG FAT YES

You can watch Netflix in Japan!
Streaming Netflix in Japan is very easy. Just because Netflix hasn't expanded to Japan yet doesn't mean you have to miss out on all the streaming action. To fix the "Netflix is not available in your country" error you need to do only one little thing and you can start watching Netflix in Japan almost immediately. Ok, maybe not that fast, but you can start streaming Netflix in Japan tonight if you want. That is, after all, how you came to find this page.
To watch Netflix in Japan, simply connect to a VPN.
It's as easy as that. If you want to stream Netflix in Japan than all you need to do is connect to a VPN service. Don't worry, it's nothing too complicated. A VPN, which stands for virtual private network, will create a tunnel between you and the service you connect to. So what? What does it all mean? It's simple, once you connect to a VPN Netflix will think that your internet connection is originating from one of the several countries where Netflix is now supported. Which country you connect to Netflix from is entirely up to you. Different countries have different streaming libraries, but connecting to a VPN to watch Netflix in Japan will allow you to switch between whatever country you want allowing you access to the Netflix streaming libraries from all countries Netflix now supports.
Great! Now what VPN should you use?
You have lots of choice on the internet when it comes to choosing a VPN. You should look for one that is reasonably priced, fast and reliable, and has lots of countries to choose from for server locations (this is what lets you change between different countries libraries). My personal favorite, the VPN I've used for a few years now, is StrongVPN. StrongVPN worked excellent for me while I lived in Korea and I'm positive it will work well for you watching Netflix in Japan. Setup is extremely easy with StrongVPN, once you've subscribed to their service they will walk you through the extremely easy process of connecting to the VPN. Once you're connected you can head over to Netflix and enjoy streaming Netflix in Japan all you want.
What are you waiting for? Get started watching Netflix in Japan now! If your interested in further reading you can check out my review of StrongVPN or my post on the best VPN for expats.

Well, it'd make a great anchor for a small rowboat...
this may seem like a silly question for some, but im pretty curious. im new to handguns and i occasionally lurk around this site and read interesting titbits of information.
a little while back i read a thread where the poster was wanted to know wether a shotgun, or a .50 Desert Eagle was more practical as a home defense weapon. everyone who responded shot down the desert eagle idea basically saying it was rediculous.
so whats the purpose of a desert eagle? if you cant use it as a defensive weapon, is it for novolty purposes only? how many people actually hunt with it? it seems so impractical that it may just be an extension of masculinity, or something used for bragging rights.
so if you own one or have used one id like to hear what you use it for, or why you bought it
thanks guys!
Well, it'd make a great anchor for a small rowboat...
Well if you don't hit with the first shot.....everything will be over by the time you recover for your next! Maybe the muzzle blast will blind and confuse if you miss.
It could be used for demolition if you had to tear down a block wall
hitting your self in the face from recoil...its good for that! some funny stuff on you tube.
They can enlarge a .45 caliber hole.
.45's enlarge .40 holes and so it goes.
lol ok so its just a novelty! a novelty that makes small game disintegrate
then is there much difference between that and .44 or .357 magnum rounds? the kick and muzzle blast must be similar..or so i would think. but those seem to be popular revolvers. unless those are for fun as well
Hello 'vribbade
I am restricted to paper punching (no handgun hunting allowed in Italy...), so I shoot .44 magnum for the pure thrill of it.
As with most things we do to please ourselves, we choose following emotion, not strict reasoning.
When you cock the hammer on one of those Maggies, you enjoy the thrill of something spectacular going to happen. If and when you hit your target, you are rewarded by the feel that you can control all that power, which therefore becomes "your power". Also, gun weight and recoil introduce some "workout factor" in the act of shooting. When I used my Glock 23, 100 rounds seemed few and would be gulped in no time. With the .44, a single 50-rd box fills the day, and you drive back a bit tired, a bit aching in the hand, and very much relaxed and rewarded.
This said, .44 mag revos are born in the USA for very practical purposes in their homeland: hunting and self defense in areas with large and dangerous game.
The Desert Eagle, instead, IMHO loses even this practicality. Extremely large and heavy for serious packing in the woods, offers a useless "advantage" (fast repeat shots, obliterated by recoil and muzzle flip) paid with mechanical complexity and with having to collect your brass. Ah, not to mention that a .50 AE case is hot and heavy, when ejected full speed against the fore head of the shooter or his friend watching him closely (I've seen that happen. OUCH!).
I admit having no significant experience (just fired it once, then seen it fired by others, in .50). But so far, this is my conclusion: the reason for a DE is the pure pleasure of possession, "as seen on the movies", plus the same pleasure for "controling power" I take in shooting my totally useless (in Italy) magnum revolvers.
While there is nothing wrong with enjoying those things if one wishes, I'd really advise against home defense. A .44 mag revolver can be used with tame ammo (44 specials, soft 44 mags) but a semiauto can't be downtuned too much, without malfunctioning.
I bought my DE 50 because I wanted one since they came out. It really has no practical value, but I love it. I also just bought a S&W 500. I don't hunt so neither gun has a real purpose except to target shoot.
They are both way too powerfull to be effective home defense. You are much better with a smaller caliber that would allow you to get back on target for a 2nd shot....if needed.

Sometimes my cenral AC run and sometimes not running
I need some help on my central AC compressor. I notice that sometimes it runs and sometimes it did not run. When it did not run, I went to my house Main Switch Panel and I reset it by turn the switch Off and ON; then the compressor worked again. I noticed that whenever I adjust the temperator from the thermostat or turn AC on and off on the thermostat, the compressor has a problem to start to run. Is this related to capacitor problem? Please help.
ON the title, I mean the compressor sometimes run and sometimes not running; but the fan still working. Is the capacitor is bad?
What I find out is the compressor stop running.
I changed the capacitor; but no good at all.
that turning on an off real quick could be one problem...he pressures need to equalize for a restart so always shut the stat off when resetting and then work he stat after couple of minutes.if the condenser fan is running but not the compressor could be a internal safety cause the main contactor is in running the fan outside..internal heat overload...
There is not a timer somewhere inside the cabinet, or furnace, which could be failing. That would be the first thing I would be looking for, along with a bad contactor on the outside unit, that is failing.
Please help me out. Here is what I found out more: When I turn on the AC on the thermostat, the thermostat indicated cool and I went outside to see the compressor and fan both running. I went inside and feel the cool air. This whole process run about 10 minutes; then suddenly the thermostat indicated every thing stop; then on the outside, the compressor and fan stop running too. The stopping period last about 5 minutes; then the thermostat indicated running again. I went outside and see the fan running but NOT the compressor; I hear the repeated noise from compressor trying to start. I went inside and notice that NO cool air at all. What is going on? Please let me know.
your thermostat is faulty and short cycling. the compressor needs to be off for 5-10 minutes for the Freon pressures to equalize. if they don't then the compressor stalls and cannot start against the high pressure. long story short go to Home Depot and buy a Honeywell Focus Pro thermostat and it will have a 5-10 minute built in time delay ( read the programming and activate it) which should keep the compressor off long enough and it should not recycle/start itself that often either. make sure there is no heat source near the thermostat causing it to restart itself like bright Sunlight or TV or other heat producing items.
Pull the thermostat and tie the Y1 & R wires together, to see if it continues to run. If it does, then bad thermostat.
y1 and C will blow the transformer or fuse or board plus you need a G circuit.
It sounded to me the compressor is overheat or something. I wish not because I am unemployed right now. If it is thermostat, then I happy for it.
if you tie those wires together damage will occur. would need to use R to Y but that still is incorrect as the furnace fan won't run on some units. he is trying to be helpful but yes that is wrong. replace the thermostat, costs under $75. don't buy any other cheaper ones as they are mostly Chineez offshore poor quality.
I still have a spare Honeywell thermostat that I knew it is working. I will give it a try on that thermostat.
Is this really thermostat? If it is, then why my upstair thermostat did the samething...that mean when I turn the AC from that thermostat, the compressor did not run at all; so no cold air at all; but the compressor fan is still running and blower fan is running.
you may have a larger problem like low voltage to the units or your house. both units should not have the same problem. that is VERY hard on the compressors and can damage them. may want to get a Pro to check them. you would need to check the voltage to them AND while it is trying to start. could be the compressor(s) are getting old (if they are old units) and seizing up and may need a hard start kit or you got other problems like a bad thermostatic expansion valve, burned contacts in the contactor, or damaged wiring at the compressor etc. sounds like a voltage problem too me. best to get a Pro to check them before some very expensive damage occurs.
my system is running well since September 2012. I have used it with the new evaporator coil for many months; then Kaboom I noticed the problem happening yesterday.

The Strong Start for America's Children Act
The Strong Start for America's Children Act provides for universal access to high-quality pre-kindergarten services for low-income children through a federal-state partnership and expands quality child care for infants and toddlers. Companion bills were originally introduced in the House and Senate by Senator Tom Harkin (D-IA), Representative George Miller (D-CA), and Representative Richard Hanna (R-NY) in November 2013. In May 2015, the House and Senate both reintroduced slightly different versions of the Act. In the House, Representatives Bobby Scott (D-VA) and Richard Hanna (R-NY) introduced the bill, while Senator Patty Murray (D-WA) did so in the Senate.
Strong Start includes important investments in programs, including:
- Universal Pre-Kindergarten: Through a formula program to states grants would be allotted for the purpose of providing universal, voluntary pre-kindergarten. States will distribute funds to local entities – which may include districts, schools, Head Start programs or licensed child care providers – that meet high-quality standards. Funds would be disbursed based on a state's share of four-year olds living at or below 200% of the poverty line.
- Preschool Development Grants: For states not receiving preschool formula grants, competitive grants would be available to help states increase capacity to position them for preschool formula grants and to improve states' systems of early childhood.
- Early Head Start-Child Care Partnerships: Early Head Start providers, which serve infants and toddlers, would partner with local center-based and family child care to improve the quality of their infant and toddler care. Funds would be allocated to states based on their share of infants and toddlers living at or below poverty.
- Home Visiting: The bill expresses support for continuing voluntary home visiting programs to promote maternal and child health, improve school readiness, prevent child abuse and neglect, and to coordinate resources and supports for families.
The components of the bill would advance high-quality, comprehensive early care and education systems across the country by:
- Setting clear expectations for high-quality services including high staff qualifications and developmentally appropriate and evidence-based curricula and learning environments.
- Providing critical supports to increase the educational attainment of the early childhood workforce.
- Addressing the needs of low-income working families by allowing for the provision of pre-kindergarten services in schools, Head Start and child care settings and establishing expectations for the provision of full-day services and comprehensive health services.
- Providing for partnerships between Early Head Start and child care programs to ensure that more vulnerable infants and toddlers have access to the comprehensive early education and family support services that are the hallmark of Head Start.

The next point of interest is the stand. The monitor sits on a circular base that enables you to swivel it round easily, making it easy to collaborate. This is pretty much vital on a TN panel based display as the viewing angles are generally poor, and that's the case with this screen. It lists 160 degrees as the maximum, but the specs also admit that the contrast ratio at this acute angle drops to a mere 10:1 - and 5:1 vertically - and it is indeed pretty much invisible at these angles.
As well as the swivelling base there's a degree of height adjustment but only 50mm of it, though as you can tilt back 5 degrees and forward 20, you should be able to get an optimal and ergonomic viewing position. Round the back of the stand you'll find a hook for the cable management, so you can keep things tidy round the back.
The OSD controls are basic and not particularly attractive looking. Press the select button and you can scroll through adjustments for brightness, contrast, and red, green, and blue, levels. You can choose between colour temperatures, 9,300k, 7,500k, sRGB, User, and Native, though I could find little benefit adjusting from the native. Press the select button twice and you get to the volume controls for the speakers, and pressing Reset will mute them. Alternatively you can use NEC's Naviset utility, which is available online.
Other features include Vesa mounting holes and a Kensington lock, though there's no USB hub as you might hope for an office bound display. In terms of connectivity you get a DVI connector, with no mention of HDCP compatibility, and a D-Sub.
In terms of image quality the NEC was underwhelming compared to my previous experiences with the 24 and 26in displays. Of course, this is in a very different category and far cheaper so it's to be expected. At maximum settings the display is quite bright so you'll find you have to turn it down a notch for general office use. It's still not as vivid as the best NEC displays. However. the key factor though for a monitor of this type is how it deals with text and in this respect the LCD225WXM does a decent job, though again it's not the tour-de-force that the more expensive NEC displays put in.
Pleasingly, the white balance was better than my reference Dell 2407, though to be frank, that's not saying much. However, whether in Excel graphs or in photos, I felt that colours were rather muted. They don't pop off the screen as they do with the best displays. In photos I felt I wasn't quite getting as much detail in the darker shadow areas as I know is actually there, having seen the same images of better displays such as NEC's own 24in and 26in units.

FindRoot already compiles, which may be why you're not seeing a

and see if it's slower than FindRoot[uncompiled expression, ...].
If you want to pre-compile, you can just turn the message off with

How to Make Halloween Pumpkin Cupcakes
So I know that I have already mentioned several times my general disdain for over-exuberant amounts of frosting on cupcakes, but you're just going to have to pretend I have never said any of that before. Just do it. I love frosting (for this cupcake at least...and maybe the next Halloween cupcake that's coming up...and maybe these too). Just so we're clear, I don't like eating large quantities of frosting. I don't know why. I guess I just think cake is better. However...decorating with frosting is a whole other story. The more frosting I have to play with when it comes to frosting cupcakes, the better. Sometimes you just need a whole lot to get that look you're going for. There's no rule that says that you actually have to eat all the frosting on a cupcake...yes, I am that guy that will scrape off approximately 80% of the frosting off a cupcake before eating it. But it's ok. I like frosting today, remember?
These pumpkin cupcakes...these pumpkin cupcakes are one of those types of cupcakes that just demand a lot of frosting. They really do. You can't skimp out on frosting and and expect to get a lovely domed pumpkin shape like this...like you just can't, you need an excess of frosting. It's totally worth it! After you have that round shape and the cupcake gets covered in orange sugar crystals, you'll be glad you went overboard with the whole frosting thing. These Halloween-pumpkin inspired cupcakes are lovely in their whole over-indulgent selves.
In a nutshell...they're just really cute. Please make, thank you.
Pumpkin Cupcakes
Things You'll Need
cupcakes, any flavor
white frosting (I used store bought frosting, since these cupcakes require so much)
food coloring (I used Wilton icing gels)
orange colored sugar crystals
fondant (store bought is fine)
How to Make Pumpkin Cupcakes
Begin by coloring a large batch of white frosting to your desired shade of orange. It doesn't matter if the frosting is dyed completely evenly, as the entire cupcake will be covered in sugar anyway. Once the frosting has been dyed, spoon a generous amount of frosting onto the top, and with a small offset spatula, begin to smooth out the frosting and shape it into a round dome.
Once the desired shape has been achieved, carefully invert the cupcake into a dish filled with the orange sugar crystals, and cover all of the frosting with them. Gently brush off any excess crystals that may have stuck onto the cupcake liner. To give the pumpkin the effect of sections, carefully drag a toothpick from the bottom edge of the cupcake all the way to the top. This will move the sugar crystals around, but that's alright. To make the stem, take a small amount of fondant that has been dyed green, and shape it into a small cylinder. Place the stem on the top of the pumpkin, and you're done!
