I just recently remodeled a 1981 Chevy Silverado. The motor company pulled my motor and said that I had a 305 in it so I went back with the 305 not knowing that everything that I wanted done to my motor didn't make any since. I have a racing cam, flat top pistons, and a set of heads thinking that my motor would be ok as far as performance. Did I make a mistake?? My first project and I didn't know. Someone please tell me what's up
305 can be made to make resonable power with the right parts, but power for $, shoulda done a 350.
Summer : 1988 Pontiac Firebird Formula 350-L98 350-Th700R4 With shift kit-3.73 Posi -Ws6----Winter : 1992 Camaro RS 3.1
So what type of parts do I need? I have a friend who has a pro mod race car and he is detrmine to prove a point. that even though its not a 350 its still a good motor. I know Nos has been mention. He says tha the flat top pistons while hold nos spray better than a 350
There's a lot of generalizations here with nothing behind them...As we've discussed a hundred times on this board, a 305 can make 300 horsepower fairly easily with some modifications, such as: an aftermarket carb/intake, headers, and some cylinder head modsNow, a 350 can probably make 300 horsepower just with a carb/manifold and headers. So if you only want 300 horsepower a 350 can save money. Now, if you want 400 horsepower the 350 will save A LOT of money!I would leave your friend behind. He will chase his tail for no reason. It doesn't take an engineering degree to realize that with commonly available, stock-replacement parts you will never make up the deficiencies of the 305's design in comparison to a 350. That quarter inch of bore diameter and 45 cubic inches makes a very significant difference...Plus, what in the world does he mean that flat tops will hold nitrous better than 350 pistons? That statement doesn't really make any sense, there's a lot missing but I can say that If he is looking at crown design before using a forging over a casting he will soon lose that 305 engine that he thinks he will change the world with, if he runs nitrous.
I would not run any amount of NOS on any type of piston other then a forged piston its just not worth the chance of destroying the engine.Depending on how much power you are looking for the 305C.I. chevy small block can make decent power numbers I have pulled good power out of 305C.I. chevys before and did not use NOS but just the right combo of parts.What is the size lift on the cam in it now.

Sorry to break this to you but there is a HUGE difference between what one person thinks are "decent numbers" and another thinks is "good horsepower."The morale of the story should be, if your goals are to extract the most power per dollar possible of your engine, then don't use a 305!
Like I said it depends on how much power a person is looking for.Yes a 350 would give more power per dollar.The 305C.I. is more then capable of making good horsepower with the right combonation of parts.

I was reading Popular Hotrodding last night in their Engine master's competition some one built a 305 for around $2,000 that made I think 390HP. I don't know how long or reliable that engine would be but it's there.
-The Silver Buick- '77 Skylark coupe w/ a Fuel Injected Buick 455&TKO-600, '72 Centurion Conv't - 455w/TH400, '67 T-bird 4Dr (suicide) w/428&C6. '69 Firebird replaced!http://www.bangshift.com/forum/index.php?topic=6189.0
I know they had one that put out 372HP one time I had looked and know that with proper tuning and better parts they could get more.I have built engines for a good little wile and was told by a buddy of mine that has been building engines alot longer then I that a 305C.I. Chevy would not be worth putting money in to for power until I took him for a ride in my 305C.I. chevy powered elcamino then he still did not beleive it was a 305 until he ran the numbers now he is a beleiver too and he is one of the older guy's and said its not how long you have been doing it it's how long you've done it right and both he and I beleive that.

Things to consider are what you are looking for the truck to do. If you want it to sound good, have decent low end off the line grunt, and get fair gas mileage stick with the 305. The 350 will have the same sound, more power and suck up a lot more fuel. When you open the hood, the 305 will look identical to the 350 so for eye apeal you gain nothing with the 350. The main thing to consider is the right intake and carb. An Edelbrock Performer is a good choice for a 305. More aggresive intakes are too much. Stick with a dual plane. The next thing is, don't go overboard on the carb. 500 to 600 CFM is plenty. On smaller displacement motors it is easy to overcarburate which kills performance. Then go with an open dual exhaust system or a cat-back performance setup. This combination will give you a nice runner that will not eat too much gas. If you are more concerned with running stop light to stop light, or running as fast as you can down the quarter mile than go with all the displacement you can afford and dump the 305.
Wow, talk about a brickwall...What exactly is good horsepower? We're all dying to know.
Pound for pound, dollar for dollar, equally equipt, a 350 will outperform a 305. As far as "Good Horsepower", I have an 11 year old Tennesse Walker, and a 13 year old American Quarter Horse. I guess each would be considered one horse power but the Quarter Horse can easily cover the quarter mile quicker than the Tennesee Walker. In my opinion, I would say the Quarter Horse has "Good horsepower". Hope this cleared things up for you GibTG.
I not tring to take the truck down the track or anything like that. I just want a little more power than what I have right now ( which is a v6) thats all I am really looking for, But maybe some where down the line i would like to replace the 305 with a 383 stroker.
Several these things are important to consider before deciding how to build an engine, including vehicle weight, rearend gear ratio, transmission being used, and torque converter stall speed if using an automatic trans. Heavy vehicles with "tall" rear gears (especially with ratios under 3.00:1) will tend to want as torque-oriented an engine as you can build. This will mean a mild dual-plane intake such as Edelbrock's "Performer", a short-duration camshaft (perhaps around 200 degrees at 0.050" tappet lift), small carb such as Edelbrock PN 1403, and small-tube headers. A "racing cam" can mean a wide variety of things, most of which are not appropriate for street use; find out the exact specs, and whether your block is set up for a factory-style hydraulic roller camshaft. Is it practical to run a factory-style rollercam like Crane PN 109815, or would it be simpler to use a (much cheaper) flat-tappet such as Summit Racing PN 1102? Again, stick with short durations for good torque characteristics, keeping in mind that cams with powerbands starting much over 1,000 rpm may require a performance torque converter with a higher-than-stock stall speed if you're running an automatic tranny.Head selection is also worth considering. I've been told that *most* factory Chevy small-block head castings did not flow very well. If your engine core is an older model, the heads can be ported to do whatever you want, but you may want to look into upgrading to later-model Vortec cylinder heads - here, keeping in mind that these use a funky bolt-hole angle that my limit intake selection - or even a mild aftermarket cylinder head.Finally, of course, once you're done theoretically spending lots of money on trick parts to make your 305-powered truck quick off the line, there's always the question of whether the money wouldn't have been better spent on a 350. If so, you may want to consider building the 305 as cheaply as possible and saving up for a more serioius build later on.
Well I talked to the engine shop and they placed a rv cam and flat top pistons will that improve my horsepower

Apr 19, 2014 - By Steven R. PeckIf we impose a new tax, then uniformed personnel for the specific job might be in order
It has been enlightening this spring to learn more about the day-to-day specifics on the work of a Fremont County sheriff's deputy.
Although he has shared this information with the public and the Fremont County Commission before, no doubt, Sheriff Skip Hornecker's description of the amount of time his deputies must spend on Monday matters such as vehicle identification and nuisance animal calls strikes a particularly compelling note this time.
The animal-control issues have become so involving for the sheriffs' department that the county is considering forming a new animal-control district. Another way of putting it is that the county is considering imposing a new tax to help cover the costs of burgeoning animal-control problems.
Not long ago a suggestion was made in this space about the creation of a new classification of public official, or the creation of a private enterprise that could serve as a certified authenticator of vehicle identification numbers so that sworn peace officers wouldn't need to be diverted from crime prevention and crime fighting just so they could write down a VIN number from the inside door panel of a used car.
The sheriff noted recently as well that his officers spend more time on an animal-control problems than just about any "crime" category. While some animal issues certainly do meet everyone's definition of crime, many, many of them simply do not. Yet our trained deputies must respond to them anyway.
What is true in the county is not the case in many municipalities in Wyoming. In Riverton, for example, there is a separate animal-control officer. This person is a member of the police department but does not have the same patrol, intervention and enforcement responsibilities as a typical police officer. Her job - and the position typically has been filled by a woman - is to deal with animal problems which consist primarily of unlicensed and/or stray dogs and cats.
The city by no means feels that these issues are not important, but there has been a determination that they need not be the purview of regular police officers. Rather, the animal control officer has a budget, a vehicle, and a specified protocol that is sufficient to handle almost every animal control call received.
If the county truly is moving toward the idea of a new taxation entity to generate funds for animal control, perhaps a couple of animal-control deputies could be funded. The new personnel probably would ensure that animal-control complaints are dealt with more swiftly, and the crime-fighting components of the department could spend more time on tougher crimes, less time chasing stray dogs.
Different classifications of sheriff's personnel already exist in the form of jailers, for example, and court bailiffs also are part of law enforcement but typically are not patrol officers. In other words, the precedent for a different classification of law enforcement officer already exists in our community.
While animal problems are real and require a public response, it does seem untoward that a deputy who is counted upon to pursue a suspect or subdue a violent offender must spend so much of his or her time corralling rambunctious dogs or trapping trespassing cats.
The problem is severe enough that we are considering raising taxes to deal with it. If that is the case, then a county animal control force is worth a look.

In the Telegraph yesterday, Colin Hines wrote a blog defending his "progressive protectionism" idea from what he called the "extreme Right", by which he means Tim Worstall. Well, Tim has some strange ideas, but I wouldn't call him "extreme right". But that's not what made me angry.
Colin describes his idea of "protective protectionism" thus
"....progressive protectionism rejects the incessant mantras of more open markets and the need to be internationally competitive. Acceptance of these edicts as inevitable invariably results in politicians being forced to drive down tax rates, constrain social and environmental improvements and preside over the eradication of countless local jobs and small business opportunities....
.....progressive protectionism would not involve a return to the oxymoronic protectionism of the 30s. Then the goal was often for each protected industry or country to increase its economic strength by limiting imports, and then hoping to compete and export globally at the expense of others. Unsurprisingly, the more countries did this, the less trade there was between them. Today's example of a self-defeating economic approach is the ludicrous fantasies of export fetishists. They whistle in the dark trying to keep up the nation's economic spirits by promising hi-tech export-led growth. In an era of rising Asian dominance, this has to rate as the last colonial delusion.
The alternative to this is a progressive protectionism which will allow countries to wean themselves off of present levels of export dependence. It would enable the rebuilding and re-diversification of domestic economies by limiting what goods states let in and what funds they allow to enter or leave the country. Having regained control of their economic future, countries can then set the levels of taxes and agree the regulations needed to fund and facilitate this transition. National competition laws would ensure that monopolies didn't develop behind protective barriers. Finally, there is an internationally supportive approach to trade with poorer countries, ensuring that the gains from the remaining international trade would be targeted to help fund the move towards a localised economy that benefits the poor majority. In essence, this approach will make space for domestic funding and business to meet most of the needs of society worldwide."
Now, I agree this is not easy to understand. For example, what is the difference between "limiting imports" and "limiting what goods states let in?" So let me interpret this convoluted piece of writing as I see it. If you disagree with my interpretation, please do give your alternative in the comments.
Colin's objections to the current system of international trade - "globalisation", as he calls it - are the following:
1. Free markets are bad.
2. Low taxes are bad.
3. International trade is bad.
4. Small domestic businesses are good.
So Colin's progressive protectionism basically involves ending most international trade. He doesn't say what international trade would be "allowed" to continue, but he implies that there wouldn't be very much. To achieve this he proposes that countries should:
- "wean themselves off export dependence"
- "limit what goods they let in AND what funds they allow to enter or leave the country" (my emphasis)
Translation: Countries should have import controls, capital controls and export barriers. Now if you have neither imports nor exports, and you have capital controls, you have a closed economy. I should point out that Colin castigates the import controls of the 1930s because they weren't coupled with capital controls and export restriction, so resulted in global competition for exports, not because he thinks import controls are a bad thing.
Colin's idea seems to be that if you create a closed economy you can "set the levels of taxes and agree the regulations needed.....". Yes, absolutely you can do what you like, because you have no relationship with the outside world. It seems he would like North Korea replicated worldwide - a global system of autarkic states.
But if your economy is so closed that you control all trade and financial transactions, and you have seriously restricted imports, how are you going to create an "internationally supportive approach to trade with poorer countries"? For poorer countries to get richer they have to export to richer ones - that way they get the income they need to develop their domestic economies. Domestic economies don't get richer all by themselves: a closed economy may create the ILLUSION of prosperity, but real prosperity comes from the redistribution of global resources that arises from good international trade. I would be the first to castigate the practices that keep poor countries poor - trade tariffs imposed by richer countries to protect their domestic businesses from competition from lower-cost businesses in poorer countries, international investors that remove capital from the country at the drop of a hat, strings attached to international aid, protection of international lenders at the expense of the people of the country (now where are we seeing that at the moment?), corruption in domestic governments, and above all, war.....But Colin's solution to all of those is not to address the issue, but to close the doors . And this is what made me angry.
You see, Colin doesn't actually want poorer countries to trade with richer ones. He wants them to develop "a localised economy that benefits the poor majority". But a localised economy in a poor country can only be poor people trading with each other in local markets - subsistence farmers, one-boat fishermen, small craftsmen. What a lovely romantic image! What a truly charming picture! As Splinter Sunrise put it on Twitter last night:
"there's a lot of this stuff going around about how we should help Tanzanians to remain poor subsistence farmers".
What right have people like Colin Hines - rich people in the rich developed world - got to deny people in poorer countries the opportunity to become richer and have a better life through exporting to richer countries? And to do this in the name of environmental protection and "improving social conditions", as well. Oh yes, it will improve the environment in poorer countries because they won't be able to develop their natural resources - their countries will stay pristine and undeveloped, like a Constable painting. And it will improve social conditions - in the richer developed countries which are losing business to poorer countries.
I am trying not to swear (though I'm afraid I did, on my comment on the Telegraph article!), but I have seldom read anything that made me so angry. Global inequality, set in stone. Let the poor remain poor so the rich can remain rich. Absolutely appalling.

text: Some quick thinking likely prevented a house in Newport from being severely damaged by fire. Around noon Thursday fire crews were called to a house fire on Water Street. A boy riding home on the bus saw the fire and told his dad about it when he got home. His dad ran down to the house and was one of the first people there. " When we got there, there was flames shooting up the side of the building, out the window there, out of a unit. I'm not sure what the unit was. The policeman had a fire extinguisher and he applied the entire fire extinguisher to it, all around, but it kept flaring back up. It was pretty persistent," said Brett Ludden, who lives up the street from where the fire happened. The unit was a wood pellet burner that goes in a window. Lt. Adam Noyes with the Newport Fire Department says they believe the unit is what sparked the fire. Turtles, dogs, and cats were rescued from inside the house, and are expected to be fine, according to Noyes. The homeowners were not there at the time. We're told there is minimal damage to the house.

US official defends new deepwater oil drilling ban
* U.S. not able to handle another spill now
* White House panel questions need for lengthy ban
By Ayesha Rascoe
NEW ORLEANS, Louisiana, July 13 (Reuters) - The head of the U.S. agency charged with regulating offshore oil drilling on Tuesday defended the new deepwater drilling moratorium, saying the risk of another disaster remains too high as the government battles to deal with the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.
Michael Bromwich, appointed last month to head the Interior Department's Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, told a White House panel tasked with offering recommendations on the future of offshore drilling that the nation does not have the resources to handle another spill.
"So long as the spill is out there and it is not being contained and the oil spill response capabilities are all being consumed by the current oil spill ... it is simply too risky to allow deepwater drilling to continue," Bromwich said.
The agency needs time to consider implementing new safety rules and requiring site specific response plans before exploratory drilling goes ahead, he said.
The Interior Department will host about a dozen public meetings over the next 60 days in the Gulf coast, California, and Alaska to gather input on its plans, Bromwich added.
The April 20 Deepwater Horizon rig explosion and subsequent spill spurred the government's original six-month moratorium on exploratory drilling in waters at depths more that 500 feet. Continued...

Vendors sell food, beer, cold coconuts, ice cream, clothing, sunglasses and just about everything you didn't know you needed. If you're young at heart, rent a jet ski, go for a banana boat or raft ride, or rent a paddle boat. Walk the beautiful beach for your morning exercise and possibly meet other Americans and Canadians doing the same. Or just sit on the fully furnished covered balcony which is over 700 sq.ft. (15 x 48) and watch the action, listen to the gentle waves on the bay. June-September, watch the whales. Have your morning coffee there, even have meals at the table which seats 6-8. This building is located two blocks from the noisy Malecon, making it a quieter place to stay and no busy street to cross to get to the beach.
Every room has an ocean view, and for that nap time and at night, all bedrooms have blackout shades to darken the rooms. All bedrooms and kitchen have new A/C units which are seldom needed because of the ocean breezes. All rooms and terrace have ceiling fans. There are no TV's in the bedrooms.
This condo was totally remodeled last year to the highest standards, with granite counter tops in kitchen and baths, custom cedar cabinetry in kitchen which has more than forty feet of counter space with under counter lighting. The flooring throughout is Italian stone providing a nonslip surface. Kitchen is complete with refrigerator/freezer, dishwasher, extra electric oven, microwave, five burner gas stove with oven, 40' gas BBQ grill vented to the outdoors, Insinkerator disposer, KitchenAid mixer, coffeepot, blender, extra refrigerator, dining table that seats 6-8, everything needed to cook and eat. There is a reverse osmosis/ultraviolet water filter system to make coffee and supply the refrigerator ice maker, so no need for large jugs of purified water or ice cube trays.
The living room sports a 75' Samsung Smart
HD /3D/TV with Blue Ray/3D player, and Sony surround sound system. Direct TV Total package is provided at no extra charge. There are two cordless phones for free local calls, WiFi.The building has 24/7 guards.
The laundry room has washer and gas dryer.
Just a couple of blocks away, there are good ceviche restaurants, shopping, and the town of Salinas offers a variety of restaurants, many of which are frequented by expats. There is a large contingency of expats in Salinas, so you are sure to make new acquaintances at the eateries and on the beach.
The property manager, fluent in English and Spanish, can arrange transportation to and from the Guayaquil airport, and for a nominal charge, he can take you on day trips to Montanita or other nearby destinations in his personal car, take you grocery shopping, cook meals, make a pizza or sushi. He will make sure your stay is a comfortable and enjoyable one.
This condo is not a typical rental, it is our home in Ecuador. It is fully equipped with most everything you will need.
This place was literally a home away from home. Lots of comfort and great location. Steps away from the beach and literally in between the family beach and the party beach, so you have options. The kitchen is immaculate and although there are many restaurants around you'll be inclined to cook your own meals.
The rental process was stresss free and Jaime was very helpful in answering our questions. This was better then staying at a 5 plus resort. All it needed was a pool, but if the ocean is your preference it is literally a few steps away from the entrance of the building. We strongly recommend it. We will be back:)
Treat yourself to a wonderful vacation. It is well worth the money. My wife and I both love the place and Jaime who managed the condo was extremely helpful. Could not have asked for a better vacation with less stress.
Super nice and clean apartment with 360 view. Balcony is exceptional! Posted pictures are true! Jamie account and local Manager was amazing. You can get help arranging for group outings, grocery shoppings, beach parties, private transportation.... you name it! We could have not had a getter time! Thank you so much for letting us stay!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Hakuna Matata. The location was excellent, positioned between Chipipe and Salinas beaches. The condo was extremely comfortable with all the modern amenities. The balcony was our favorite space with amazing views and room for meals. We highly recommend this condo and plan to visit again.
Hakuna Matata is a luxury penthouse with beautiful views of Salinas Malecon and Chipipe Beach. It is well appointed with North American amenities, well maintained and very comfortable. The listing details and pictures are accurate. There are nice views from every window. The owner is very responsive and our deposit was returned promptly. We have already recommended it to other friends.
We enjoyed birding at the Equasal with Ben Haase, who can be found at the Whaling Museum. There is a good little store about 5 minutes away on the other side of the church, which is out the back gate to the right and across the park where you'll see parrots. Chipipe Beach is the best, very clean, not over crowded, canopies and chairs rent for $10 a day no matter what time you show up. Isreal, our taxi driver escorted us to the fish market in La Libertad. That is an experience not to be missed if you are interested in the local Ecuadorian lifestyle. The fish was great! We had Christmas Eve dinner at Big Ralph's. Ralph is a Londoner and it was fabulous. Look him up on Trip Advisor. We had nice ceviche and fish stew at the Sol Cafeteria right on the Malecon. If you love the beach this is a great spot. We really enjoyed our stay.
The great - the Condo has beautiful finishing's. They really remodeled it nicely, the kitchen is incredible with pretty much everything you would need to get by. The TV is huge with a high level DirecTV package (NFL package as an example). The views are unbeatable, pretty much a view from every room of every part of the peninsula. The location is right in the middle of Salinas so very easy to walk either way for entertainment or a stroll on the beach. Wi-Fi available in the condo is probably as fast as you can get in Salinas - very solid speed and reliable. The building is secure and the security attendants are great - they even washed our car for us one day! Jaime is very helpful and speaks perfect English.
The not so perfect - the location is very central and we were there on a holiday weekend...the windows are too thin to protect you from the massive amounts of noise that is Salinas on a weekend (probably any normal weekend as well). There is soccer being played at the yacht club until midnight on the weekend with the noise coming straight to the unit. Then the back side where the master is, is subject to the endless car alarms chirping and police spinning their siren to let the police house know across the street they were checking in. It became much much better during the week when everyone left town - but you still get the occasional car alarm that no one will shut off all night long. Nothing much to do about this down side of the location other than not stay over a weekend and bring some ear plugs.
The one thing the owners could do something about - there was clearly some very heavy smoking going on in the condo for quite some time. At least one room there was no possibility to get the smell out as it was extremely bad - probably needs new paint at the very least to try to shake the smell - most likely would take replacing all the furnishings in that bedroom.
One last thing that could be improved pretty easily - we were only given one key...so if for some reason we wanted to split up we were stuck with having to coordinate schedules.
Overall - a very nice place. Be prepared for noise on a weekend and to either not use the super smoky bedroom (or hopefully they try to shake the scent).

Part II addresses one of the primary responsibilities of any fitness leader: helping potential participants determine their current health status and decide on the first steps toward fitness. Part III provides a more complete analysis of the various components of fitness:
-Body composition
-Nutrition and weight control

By ANNE DONNELLWhen should an apostrophe be added to form the plural of nouns? Or should it ever? I think the apostrophe is the most misused mark of punctuation. Do you agree? -Watching The Marks
Yes, I agree. Considering all the time spent, past and present, teaching the correct use of the apostrophe, what on earth? An apostrophe influenza has struck America, symptomatically marked by a rash, a rash of apostrophes! Wrongly placed apostrophes. Unnecessary apostrophes. I'm pulling my hair out over this one. Picture me with only one side of hair – looking for Rograine. Bald over apostrophes!
Signs, both yard and billboard, magazines, catalogs (now we're talking volume), newspapers, television ads, ads in movie theaters – all victims of apostrophe influenza.
There is an uncommon circumstance in which forming the plural needs an apostrophe. The plural of numerals, letters, and words used empty of meaning all require an apostrophe. This last part of the explanation seems nonsensical without examples. EXAMPLES OF PLURALS (underlined for emphasis) CORRECTLY WRITTEN WITH APOSTROPHES, USED IN SENTENCES. How many 2's are in this number? How many F's were on your report card? How many the's are in this paragraph?
Notice that without the apostrophe the above expressions are confusing, especially the last one: 2s, Fs, thes. This uncommon use of the apostrophe to form plurals is designed for clarity. It has nothing to do with possession, one of the two common reasons for adding an apostrophe (or an apostrophe s) at the end of a noun. EXAMPLE. Where is John's revolver? (The other reason? The writer is forming a contraction. EXAMPLE. John's promised to clean up his act. )
Why the misuse of so many apostrophes? Why do people stick them willy-nilly in plurals? Skipping for now the obvious explanations (carelessness and ignorance) brings us to the idea that some plurals "don't look right." EXAMPLES. the Kennedys, mamas and daddies. But they are right.
Teachers often combine instruction on forming plurals with instruction on forming possessives. The tune in, tune out student does some further combining, surviving with peculiar ideas he or she believed "learned in school." Applying this "learning" yields some of those messes we've been seeing (for years).
We moved to our present home in the eighties. At that time a family down the street with our same last name had a yard sign proudly stating, "The Donnell's." Though it probably kept the Halloween damage down at my house (I was a high school teacher – remember?), it was a source of embarrassment. It looked as though I didn't practice what I preached. The Donnell's means "belonging to The Donnell." It does not mean either "belonging to The Donnells" or simply, "The Donnells."
The last two meanings are appropriate in front of a house; the first is incorrect, PERIOD.
R*E*P*E*A*T*I*N*G: The plural of your family name has no apostrophe.

Let's start with earrings!
I had a package of those baseball stickers. I put mod-podge on the back (the sticky side), mainly because my earring post was smaller and I didn't want little strands of hair to get stuck on the part hanging over. This gave a nice smooth finish.
Glue the post on the back with E-6000 glue.
That's all there is to it! Simple, right?
Today is the last day to enter the Giveaway so be sure to enter if you haven't already.

Something I Noticed
Back in the day when I used silicone conditioners, I noticed 2 products had this effect on my hair.
Aussie Volumizing and HE Hello Hydration.
When I would rinse conditioner out of my hair, it was like my hair liked it and I could feel curls... like it brought the curls to life.
I am hoping that is what curls feel like... (don't have a protien conditioner yet).
With other conditioners, I never had this happen, my hair would remain straight and wet as I put my fingers through it as I rinse the conditioner out.
So in the first part, did that mean my hair liked it or what?
Would it help to look for similiar ingriedients like I think Hello Hydration has coconut milk.. does it might mean my hair likes coconut milk or something like that?
Or is it just the conditioner itself?

I believe that dogs come into our lives to teach us what it is we need to know. For most, it happens with our own pets. But for some, like Dukey and Addy, the lessons are more widespread. As a rescuer and photographer of pets, I've met many dogs over the years. Too many to count, but I've been lucky enough to experience extra special soulful connections with a few dogs.
Adalard is his name. The day may not be easy but we are fierce with determination. This entire network of helpers in the world, who are far greater than me. I am deeply saddened yet humbled by the beauty I see in the unity of many teams. We alone, do not create this, and we cannot always repair. But we LOVE just as fiercely as we fight. Know that. For certain. Adalard. Noble strength.
I'm almost 2 hours into my 3rd gallbladder attack since Saturday. The doc told me today that we need to get bloodwork & an ultrasound ASAP & in the next breath said she's fairly certain the gallbladder needs to come out. Joy. Sent me off with a look of pity & instruction to stay away from fatty foods. (And if you're a client reading this, just know there are some sick days in my very near future, starting now.)

Gilbert Castellanos establishes Young Lions Jazz Conservatory
"My plan is to go all year long, and it's going to be a little more intense."
Robert Bush 2 p.m., June 28
Downtown's F Street X-rated bookstore has vacated its longtime premises in the Gaslamp Quarter on Fourth Avenue. The business got its start just around the corner on F Street in the 1970s, in a narrow shop that was subsequently demolished to make way for the Horton Plaza parking garage…As holiday fund-raising continues for local politicos, the latest elected officials to warm the season with parties for dollars include Republican San Diego city attorney Jan Goldsmith, whose December 13 event was set for a residence in Goldsmith's former hometown of Coronado, hosted by Doug Metz, Anna Paul, and Mike Giorgino. The same night, GOP assemblyman and mayoral candidate Nathan Fletcher scheduled a fund-raiser at downtown's Hard Rock Hotel. The night after that it was an invitation to holiday wine and cheese with Bob Filner at the Mission Bay Hilton…Brown Field International Business Park LLP has hired the firm of Stoel Rives to lobby the City of San Diego about a development agreement and ground lease for the long-stalled redevelopment of City-owned Brown Field airport on Otay Mesa, according to a November 16 lobbyist disclosure filing.

Thanks for the birthday greetings and good wishes everyone!!! They really are appreciated, and it's good to hear from friends you haven't checked in with for a while. Where does the time go??? When I lived outside, reaching 8 years old seemed like a remote possibility. Now that I'm a pampered indoor cat, 8 years young seems like prime time! We marked my 8th birthday quietly, but pleasantly. I did some bird-watching, napped on the top of the kitchen cabinets for a while, had a few treats (unusual, since some of my pals here are on diets), and spent some quality time with my human companions. I get along with everyone and lead pretty good life most of the time. But it's always fun to have one's own personal day to celebrate.
My good friend Pigeon tagged me for Thanksgiving. Friends are so incredibly important, and I'm grateful for them every day of the year. Our Catster friends are a wonderful bunch, and they've helped us when Moka was lost, when Locket was misbehaving, and they've made us smile a lot. We hope we've been able to help them too in their times of need, and even produced a few grins in the process.
Now, I am please to share the 5 things I'm most thankful for this year:
1) The return of Moka. Last year, he got lost during our November 1st move, which cast a huge shadow over last Thanksgiving. Fortunately, he came back to us on December 1st, 2008. We are so grateful to have him back home!
2) Our new pal Pumpkin. While Moka was lost outside, our human companions borrowed a couple of have-a-heart traps to try to catch him. After a couple of weeks, they had no luck trapping him, so they put the closed (they thought) traps on the porch of our old house so the person they borrowed them from could pick them up. But lo and behold, Pumpkin was sitting in one of the supposedly closed traps on the morning of December 1st, 2008. Because it seemed like good karma, one of our human companions took him to the vet to be neutered and get his shots before returning him to the alley. Turned out Pumpkin is a tame and very friendly cat, and seemed like a potentially good addition to the family. That night, our human companions returned to the old house to make sure there were no other cats in the traps, and they started calling Moka's name, just because they were there. Amazingly, this time Moka answered, came out from his hiding place in the yard across the street, and returned home! So we have Pumpkin to thank for Moka's return, and we're glad he's part of our family.
3) We're living inside now. I've been off the streets of Washington, DC for a year and a half now, and I like the indoor life! We still have friends outside in our neighborhood and we are glad our human companions still help feed them every day.
4) We're all pretty healthy. Oh, we have a few minor complaints from time to time, but nothing serious right now. We are purring for all our Catster friends facing medical challenges.
5) Our human companions are weathering this economic downturn. Our household has had furloughs and hasn't been immune to the problems so many families are facing around the world, but we're all still okay. We have a roof over our heads and enough food to eat, and we can afford to get vet care when we've needed it. We send our good thoughts to so many people and animals who can't say as much. We hope next year will be much better for them!
I'll post the cats I'm tagging very soon. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!
Lily, she of the beautiful coat, tagged me, so here are my 6 favorite things about this scary/fun holiday:
1. Remembering that it used to be a little bit scary outside this time of year for cats, but I'm inside now, where it's safe.
2. Watching the street as the kids go out trick or treating. I love standing in the window, surveying the whole scene.
3. The talented Pigeon sent our whole family amazing Halloween art for our Catster pages.
4. Having my human companions put an Alley Cat Allies leaflet about the value and care of outdoor cats into trick or treat bags. You have to start getting the message across early!
5. This is the one time of year when we black and mostly black cats get our due. But I'm still waiting for my ride on a broom . . .
6. This year we are in our new home and will not be getting ready for moving day, which was last November 1st!
So I'm tagging:

Baby Boomers Pushing Surge in Therapies for Fading Eyesight
The number of older Americans getting help for fading eyesight almost tripled by 2007 from a decade earlier as the nation aged and treatment improved with approaches such as Roche Holding AG's Lucentis.
Medicare recipients in 2007 received 812,413 injections into the eye with drugs like Roche's Lucentis for macular degeneration or Avastin, up from fewer than 5,000 a year from 1997 to 2001, a study in the Archives of Ophthalmology found. Use of rival drugs, laser treatments and photodynamic therapy, such as QLT Inc.'s Visudyne, plunged, according to researchers from Johns Hopkins University's Wilmer Eye Institute.
A review of 146,942 patients in Medicare, the U.S. government program for the elderly and disabled, found Lucentis and Avastin are safe for the heart, easing concern they could unintentionally increase heart attacks, bleeding, stroke or deaths. While Avastin is approved to treat cancer, it works the same way as Lucentis and is much cheaper when doctors inject a tiny amount into the eye. It was linked to heart complications at higher doses used to treat tumors, said researchers from Duke University School of Medicine in Durham, North Carolina.
Patients "always ask us about the side effects of the injection," Scott Cousins, an ophthalmologist at Duke Eye Center, said in a statement. "Now I can tell them that these medications appear to be safe."
There were 1.24 million eye-improvement procedures done in 2007, compared with 432,755 in 1997, according to the Johns Hopkins research.
About 1.5 percent of those older than 40, or 1.75 million Americans, have age-related macular degeneration, according to the National Eye Institute. The number is expected to reach 3 million by 2020 as the population ages, the agency says. Avastin and Lucentis are used for the "wet" form of the disease, which destroys vision as tiny blood vessels leak into the light- sensing cells of the macula, the most sensitive part of the eye.
The drugs, from Basel, Switzerland-based Roche, are genetically engineered antibodies that block a protein used to form the damaging blood vessels that proliferate in the eyes of patients with AMD.

I could see myself being a grandpa taster just like that...

Little Suzy was maybe 2 1/2 years old. Someone had given her a little 'tea set' as a gift, and it was one of her favorite toys.
Daddy was in the living room engrossed in the evening news when she brought him a little cup of 'tea', which was just water. After several cups of tea and lots of praise for such yummy tea, the Mom came home.
Dad made Mom wait in the living room to watch Suzy bring him a cup of tea, because it was 'just the cutest thing!' The Mom waited, and sure enough, here she came down the hall with a cup of tea for Daddy; and she watched him drink it up.
Then she said, (as only a mother would know), "'Did it ever occur to you that the only place she can reach to get water is the toilet?"

Sometimes when it comes to kids Mommies seem to be just a little smarter than Daddys,I think it comes from the fact they question everything,where did you get that,where have you been,have you seen your sister,don't eat that,etc.

Back on one of my old web sites, I gave the theatrical release of Minority Report a very good rating, mostly because I thought the movie was what A.I. should have been.
However, the DVD is the exact opposite - while the movie is still good, the features don't add much and the transfer doesn't seem as good as it should be.
In theaters, almost everything about Minority Report seemed to be slick and glossy where it needed to be, and human where it was needed. However, that doesn't come through on the DVD. For some reason, it seems kind of flat. The picture is beautiful, and the sound is strong, but it just isn't what a DVD should be.
As for the special features, well, there are a lot of them. I haven't even gotten through all of them yet. The stuff about Spielberg putting together a team of experts to design the future 50 years from now was interesting, but I'd already read about that stuff plenty of times before. Some of the stuff seems way too self congratulatory, especially from Spielberg.
The movie itself is still good, but multiple viewings reveal large plot holes that mar the overall quality of the film.
Still, all that said, this DVD belongs in your collection. The movie is one of the best of 2002, and it was filmed beautifully, even if the DVD doesn't do it justice. Plus, it's better than any other Tom Cruise movie of the past five years, and Samantha Morton is still a scene stealer.
Overall: B-minus.

Common Questions About Wig Styling
View Single Post

To answer some curling questions....yes, you must dye it first because dying it is wet and styling it requires it to dry in curlers. The easiest way to get a synthetic wig to be curly is to buy a curly synthetic wig. Remember, synthetic wigs are basically like plastic. Little bitty plastic strings of hair. To get them to curl and hold the curl requires heat and water....steam is best. You can set the wig in curlers and then use a high steam setting on the iron to steam it. DONT TOUCH THE WIG WITH THE IRON! Just push the steam button a lot. Or you can use a travel steamer--much easier. Once the curl is in it is basically melted in and will hold for a long time. If you are using a human or yak hair wig then you can wet set it with curlers or use the curling iron but you better be sure its natural. Any names like Acrylon or Yaky...anything ending in "lon" is probably synthetic and will probably melt if you try to use a curling iron. Natural fiber wigs will lose their curl just like your hair does...in time and with humidity.
That's my 2 cents.

Are you considering removing yourself from the office, or possibly traveling for an extended period of time to some great destinations?
If you answered yes to either of the questions above, and if you are not independently wealthy, then you had better learn how to network with other people effectively.
If you're leaving a structured employment situation, how are you going to support yourself whilst on your round the world adventure?
What if you turn up in Hong Kong and need to work?
Meeting other like-minded people and collaborating with them can have untold, and unforeseen, benefits.
As you begin your new journey, remember that networking is a great way to:
- promote projects
- find freelance work
- seek input and travel advice
- barter for technical assistance
- work with others for mutual gain
- assist other people
One of my golden rules of networking is to "bring more to the table" when interacting with others.
Additionally, networking does not always have to be about trying to attain something, it can also be a great way to assist people who might need your help.
What happened?
I used to consider myself a rather competent networker — especially considering that I have been doing it from one tropical island or another for the past twelve years.
Truly, you should try networking from a seven by three mile island in the Caribbean and trying to get people to take you seriously!
Recently, there have been quite a few quality posts in the blogoshpere on how to network successfully. So, as opposed to telling you what to do and how to do it, I am going to instruct you in WHAT NOT TO DO and
I am going to use myself as a case study.
You see, I have an idea for an eBook that I would like to create. It's not just an ebook but it will be a freely downloadable manual which will be distributed to humanitarian organizations as a "how to" book to teach them how they can utilize blogging and social media to help raise funds and awareness.
The ebook seems like a very Zen project and one that I am quite excited to pursue. However, because I have never attempted a project like this I decided to email some people seeking constructive input, and thus began my lesson in ineffective networking.
What did I do wrong?
While searching for assistance last week I emailed a highly respected, and highly ranked (on Technorati) blogger for advice.
This person has always been amazingly kind to me in terms of providing information and has even given me some guidance for my small business.
Of course, I thought, this is a great cause that I am going to work on, certainly I can get some assistance.
Without a second thought, I jotted an email and hit send just waiting for the response to come back, which would help to give me some initial direction.
Strangely enough, a day went by and I heard nothing, then another, and another. Certainly, something was wrong because this person always emails back quickly.
Upon reflection, I realized that I had broken some unwritten networking rules and I should have known better. In fact, I do know better, but I was excited about the project and I made some assumptions (not wise).
Networking faux pas
Many people who are interested in freelancing, or leaving the corporate world, have quickly become fans of NorthxEast.
So, I want you to learn from my recent mistakes because when networking is done correctly I have found that people really are willing to help.
Without getting into specifics, here is what I did wrong:
1. The email was too long – The email I sent was well written but it was probably a little too long. I should have started with short pleasantries and then gotten straight to the matter at hand.
2. I hit the send button too quickly – This person has corresponded with me in the past so I thought I thought I could email seeking some input. In hindsight maybe I should have drafted a blog post and sent the person the link. If they were interested in assisting that would have given them the opportunity to contact me.
3. I did not clearly define my goals for the interaction – In my mind the project makes perfect sense and has tremendous value. But, of course, I am intimately familiar with what I am trying to achieve and I have actively worked in humanitarian development for the past ten years. Next time I will more clearly define what my goals are as bullet points and express mutual benefits.
4. I didn't offer anything in return – Recently, I have taken to offering my weekly interview guests the opportunity to have me write a post on a humanitarian organization or cause. Effectively, giving them something in return for the time that they take to answer my questions. Nevertheless, with this recent email I didn't offer anything of substance in return. Next time the interaction will not just be about me "taking."
5. I didn't know when to call in a middleman or mediator – This probably would have been a good time to call in a favor or two and have someone closer to this person forward along my request for input and assistance. If you are trying to network with someone there is nothing wrong with having someone else make an introduction for you.
If you need to connect with someone for assistance, for a collaborative idea, or even just to say hello, please learn from my mistakes.
Next time I will pay more attention to detail and I will not be so eager. Instead, I will stick by my golden rule and continue to bring more to the table when networking
Have you had any networking mishaps? How did you improve upon your mistakes?

8' Foot GRINCH Christmas Airblown Inflatable
- Sold for: Start Free Trial or Sign In to see what it's worth.
- Item Category: Entertainment
- Source: eBay
- Sold Date: Nov 27, 2008
- Channel: Auction House
You are looking at a super cool airblow inflatable. It is the Grinch and is 8 foot tall. This has been used but is in great condition. The only problem I see with it is at his feet (middle part) it's a lighter shade of red, due to outside elements, the sun, snow, etc. You don't really notice it when it's lit up at night time. This is for outdoor use of course. T is no assembly required, you just simply roll out this giant inflatable, secure in place with the stakes provided, and plug it in. This comes with the original box just put the picture of the actual inflatable so you could see that it works. Excellent Christmas decoration for your yard. This is quite heavy and shipping will be $20.00. Thanks for looking!
