La Vita Imprenditoriale: Female and Male Entrepreneurs in Italy
Terjesen, Siri A. & Ratten, Vanessa (2007) La Vita Imprenditoriale: Female and Male Entrepreneurs in Italy. In Markovic, Mirjana (Ed.) The Perspective of Women's Entrepreneurship in the Age of Globalization. Information Age Publishing, Charlotte, pp. 41-54.
Administrators only
Female entrepreneurship is growing (OECD, 2000) with some estimates that this growth exceeds that of most economies around the world (Carter & Williams, 2005). In a forty-one country study, females comprise 36% of all entrepreneurs (Reynolds et al. 2004), with the percentage of female entrepreneurs ranging from 2% in Japan to 18% in Thailand (Minniti et al. 2006).
To start their businesses, entrepreneurs must be able to access resources, such as customers, suppliers, market information and financial capital. Entrepreneurs often turn to their own financial resources, and also those available from friends, family and fool-hardy investors. This study includes both male and female entrepreneurs and explores sex differences.
This research answers calls for studies of gender and entrepreneurship (Brush, 1992; Bird & Brush, 2002), and the supply and demand of entrepreneurial finance (Carter et al. 2003; Greene et al. 2004). The paper is organized as follows. First, we provide an overview of the Italian national context and the historical role of women's involvement in the labor force and in self-employment. Next, we provide a brief overview of research at the individual entrepreneur level, focusing on demographics and personal context. Four hypotheses are put forward. Next, we turn to the firm level, leveraging extant research in the development of one hypothesis. We then examine the sources of financing and the relationship between the investor and investee, leading to five hypotheses. We conclude our country examination with population-level differences among all Italian adults, and then only those who are actively participating in the labor force.

Guide To Which Samsung Galaxy S III Applications Safe to Remove
Oh bloatware, how people hate thee. With the exception of the pure Google experience devices, also known as the Nexus series with a few additional devices, every devices comes with some degree of bloatware. For those who are somehow unaware, bloatware is carrier-specific applications that cannot be removed. Examples include apps like Sprint Zone, Samsung's Media Hub, game demos like Nova 2, and apps like Yahoo! News and Yahoo! Finance. Whether people like it or not, carriers still continue to include them. Some carriers have gotten a little wise to the idea that not everyone appreciates their applications. One example is Sprint, who's bloatware can be almost entirely removed even without root. Some other devices on other carriers aren't so lucky.
Guide To Which Samsung Galaxy S III Applications Safe to Remove
This is why lists like this exist. A comprehensive list of every application on a device—in this case the Samsung Galaxy S III—that can be removed, cannot be removed, and could possibly be removed but may cause problems. It allows users to safely remove all the crap without causing any issues and without requiring something like a factory reset. The list is quite long. On it, over 107 applications have been tested to see what can be removed and what cannot. There are some on the list that don't have a classification—i.e. whether they can be safely removed or not—but more than half have been tested and have been properly classified.
In order to properly use the list, users must be rooted. From there, they need an application that will uninstall them. A favorite among Android fans is Titanium Backup. Use the application to uninstall applications you don't need or don't want as per the list from Samsung Galaxy S III. In all, the process can take some time as well over 70 applications have been found to be removable right now. However, once done, it's well worth the trouble to not have those apps taking up space and using up RAM.

The Discovering the Art of Mathematics project seeks faculty to review and/or classroom beta-test select materials from the Discovering the Art of Mathematics curriculum library. All materials are available on this website. Note that some teacher materials and videos may require registration and login.
Please contact us if you are interested.
Stipends are available to support the efforts of reviewers and beta-testers. The stipend for reviewing an entire volume from the series is currently \$500. The stipend for beta-testing the majority of a volume in a full-semester course is \$1,500. If you would like to beta-test a portion of a volume for part of a semester, we can arrange a sliding stipend scale.
Below, we have more information about beta testing and reviewing. Please note that it may look intimidating, but the list of questions is just a list of POTENTIAL things you could write about in a report, they are not all required. The sample questions are there just to give you an idea what we are interested in and to make your job easier as a reviewer/beta tester.
Context for Reviewers & Beta-Testers
The following will help provide context for our work and your review/beta-test:
- Project abstract (PDF) for NSF1225915 awarded 10/1/2013
- Project summary (PDF)
- Project full proposal (PDF)
- Need for project, problems to be addressed, and theoretical basis for initiatives
- A classroom vignette which provides a glimpse into our classrooms
- Introductory remarks for students in Notes to the Explorer
Please contact us if you have any questions regarding context.
Communicating Your Report
All feedback you can provide would be appreciated. Please be as honest as you can. We have thick skin.
We would like you to provide feedback in ways that you find most effective and timely. Of particular note:
- We are happy to communicate via phone and email in real time with beta-testers, hoping to provide support while we get feedback.
- At the end of the review/beat-test period, please forward to us a marked up copy of the manuscript that you have reviewed/tested. This can be a physical copy returned via U.S. Mail or an electronic version (e.g. a .pdf file with comments added via Adobe Acrobat).
- Please forward a full report to us. Below we have listed some sample questions to give you some sense of what we thought we might learn from reviewers and beta-testers. Feel free to answer these questions directly or indirectly, supplement our questions with others you find relevant, or write an entirely different type of review.
Sample Reviewer/Beta-Tester Questions
Volume Information
Please specify the precise volume information (edit date and version number) that you have reviewed/beta-tested. Please precisely describe the chapters/sections that you have reviewed/beta-tested.
How You Used the Volume (Beta-testers only)
Please describe the way in which you beta-tested the volume. This should include:
- Contest information for us: your institution, course number, dates tested, class size, student audience (e.g. major, average SAT score, whether course is a requirement), etc.
- Your pedagogical approach: what your classroom looked like, your goals, student reactions, successes, drawbacks, etc.
Broad Issues
Briefly describe your level of experience teaching in what are often called inquiry-based or active learning styles.
Briefly describe your level of experience teaching what are commonly called Mathematics for Liberal Arts courses.
One of our goals is for these curriculum materials, the heart of the project, to be based on pedagogy which "is radically student-centered, providing a striking alternative to traditional texts which are generally structured around a lecture dominant mode of teaching." Did you find the materials you reviewed to be "alternative" in this sense? Could you see yourself using these materials to help promote a more active learning pedagogy in mathematics for liberal arts?
Because each of us brings their own pedagogies and experiences to our teaching we have attempted to make these materials "pedagogically flexible," supporting "a continuum of individual teaching styles without compromising the student focus." Did you find these materials to be pedagogically flexible so they could be employed by a broad variety of faculty?
We believe that our materials will help "promote a broad range of meaningful, positive cognitive, meta-cognitive, and affective student gains." In this area, how do you think our materials compare with those you have used in similar courses and/or those that you think are used in Mathematics for Liberal Arts courses more generally?
We have worked to make the content of these materials "engaging, intellectually challenging, and nurtures in-depth explorations of mathematical topics which demonstrate the continuing role of mathematics as a cornerstone of the liberal arts tradition." Have we succeeded in creating materials that Mathematics for Liberal Arts students will find engaging and intellectually challenging? How do you think our materials compare to others that are broadly available? Please explain.
In regard to the liberal arts focus we hoped to "demonstrate the continuing role of mathematics as a cornerstone of the liberal arts tradition" by including: the role of mathematics as an intellectual pursuit, its continuing impact in shaping history, culture, logic, philosophy, and knowledge, its status as humanistic and aesthetic discipline, and its extensive contemporary growth. Have our efforts been successful? Do you have suggestions how they could be more successful?
Volume Specific Content
Please provide as much feedback as you can on the following areas: organization, tone, level, mathematical concerns, pedagogical suggestions, suggestions for improving coherence, references we should be aware of, alternative approaches, etc.
Please describe what you view as the strengths of the particular volume you reviewed.
Please describe what you view as the weaknesses of the particular volume you reviewed.
If you have any local issues – line by line edits of sections, typesetting and stylistic concerns, or particularly pleasing/grating phrases, author habits, etc. – we would love to hear about them too. You can get these to us in whatever way you find easiest – perhaps simply a photocopy of the manuscript with your scrawls on it.
Overall Project
The National Science Foundation (NSF) requires that successful projects have a high degree of "intellectual merit." Based on your review, do you believe our project meets a sufficiently high degree of intellectual merit? Do you have suggestions for us in this area as we move forward?
Similarly, it is important to the NSF that projects have "broad impact." Do you think our project has the potential to have a broad impact? Do you have suggestions for us in this area as we move forward?

I liked these two episodes. They're probably the best since eps 1 & 2 of Shippuuden. The fight with Sasori wasn't dragged so long as to be boring (much unlike the fight with Deidara). And there was an interesting revelation at the end. However, the one thing I didn't like about the fight was...
And the 2nd episode really reminded me of why I loved Naruto (the show) to begin with. There were a bunch of flashbacks, sure, but I think they worked this time. They were poignant, and added to the mood stirred up by Naruto's memories of the relation between him and Gaara.
Not to mention, it almost looks like Sakura may actually become a decent character.
Anyways, good stuff this time. I've been disappointed with / felt silly watching pretty much all of the episodes after episode 2, but it looks like the show holds promise again.

The episodes were quite good, I didn't expect that Sasori was the one made those three puppets and the connection he has with that old lady whom looks like might play a part in the story.
The overall production of the episodes still could be better, but Its not crap like it has been in some episodes. I like the direction the story is moving in, doesn't look like that we will see Neji, Lee ect... very soon I'm sure that we will see Kakashi and co. get into a fight or two xD

I don´t know. This episode felt very much for people under the age of 10.
"OMG it´s the SUPERfast eagle!"
"OMG a level 1 message!"
"OMG sand is in dagner!"
(With lots of "cool" facial reactions...)
So far I think the episodes have been pretty good but this one wasn´t to my liking at all. There are things happening up ahead in the story that will just feel ridicoulus if they keep it this childish.

This would have been a pretty good episode, but as usual my complaint is about the pacing. They're still doing this ridiculous 1 chapter per episode pace, complete with the slow-motion action and pointless filler scenes. The animation was decent and the music is rather good, but the awful pacing ruins the whole thing. All they had to do was continue how they were handling it before the filler(which at this rate was completely unnecessary), but this is just insulting.

But what got me upset was the fact we have to wait two weeks for an new hour special. I would rather wait with anticipation for one week other than two. I mean yeah they give us an hour now, but that just makes me want to see more.

This episode was poorly written, featured poorly explained events (Sakura and the pill?), and appealed to the intelligence of someone in primary school, but I can't figure out how the pacing was in any way comparable to that of the previous episodes. How are you even measuring pacing? By using some pretentious, arbitrary number that is derived from the manga? How is it determined that more of this number in an episode is better, and when is the number too high for an episode to be enjoyable?
The problem with Naruto doesn't come from how many "chapters" from the manga each episode crams in--if they were, these past episodes would be better than the filler episodes, and they aren't--nor is it from the fact that Naruto has the appearance of being dumbed down. No, it comes from the fact that, after all of these years, we, the viewers, have grown up and have become more sophisticated than we previously were. Many fans stopped watching Naruto once it was announced that the fillers would last for a very, very long time (myself included), and, again, considering most of the people watching Naruto were/are teenagers, tweens, or children, most have matured. The problem with Naruto doesn't come from the producers, but rather the problem comes from us, and the bizarre nostalgia that we hold from years ago, of what we believe Naruto once was. The viewers have aged tremendously over the break, but the intended demographic hasn't. At one point, we were Naruto's intended demographic, but now that's no longer true, and you can't blame the writing staff for that.
Naruto writing, at least as far as the anime is concerned, has always sucked ass. The "pacing" has always sucked ass. Please, stop trying to compare Naruto now with nostalgia. Naruto is just a silly kids show that we're all slowly outgrowing. There's no sense in comparing it with what it "used to be". What it used to be no longer exists. So, hey, why don't we think of something different with our criticism, instead of just hopping on the elitist bandwagon?

We all know Naruto is a kid's show. It's always been intellectually insulting; I watch it hoping that the action will be entertaining, but in Shippuden it's not even good for that anymore because it's like they're fighting in molasses, and the anime team has no originality when it comes to expanding on fights. On top of that, it takes forever to get to them in the first place because all the boring scenes are so drawn out.

So sexy it hurts
I'm getting so sick of some of you whiny people. I can't understand what your problem is, you keep pointing at the bad sides, even the most minor of minor. These episodes are NOT as bad as fillers, if you say that it's obvious you haven't watched them.
If they had put in no filler scenes at all, the series would catch up to the manga very fast, and then people will start whining about the fillers again. They saw the result of their previous filler spree, do you think they want it to happen again? If they had no filler scenes at all, it would have been 40-50 episodes and another 100 episodes of filler (yes to be honest, this is the way I would love it to be, but I can understand VERY well why the Naruto team doesn't want it to be that way).
I love Shippuden as it is now, it's really entertaining to watch. Yeah, a little slow moving at times, but I'm just thankful I'm not a manga reader so I doesn't know how fast this scene was "supposed" to go, because I don't care. As long as I am amused, I love watching Naruto, and shippuden amazes me for sure, even though it's not as fast in every single scene, but at least these two episodes were awesome, I gave it a 9 (I didn't even rate fillers 9 when I rated by "filler standard").

Anyway, I'll add I liked the explanation from Tsunade about the growing bonds between Konoha and Suna. That was good filler.

Nevertheless, I'm fairly steadfast that the quality of the storytelling has always been roughly the same quality, both before, during, and after the filler arcs. Were the filler arcs really that bad, or did they only seem that way because we impatiently waited for the show to resume the manga, knowing full well that everything we saw was completely inconsequential to the story? It's the sense that everything is meaningless that makes filler arcs so painful to watch.
This doesn't, however, get to why I believe measuring the "pacing" of anime episodes by using the number of manga chapters each episode spans is invalid, and to do so I will use this very special. If we split the two halves off into separate episodes, each episode contains an equivalent amount of manga. Yet the first half was very well paced, with an interesting fight scene that revealed intriguing story details and, for the most part, left off with me wanting more. Now, assuming the second half had the same amount of manga, which is all one can do given your numbers, all I can assume is that that part of the manga is shit, because that part of the episode was pure shit. The pacing between the two parts was completely different, and that has nothing to do with the amount of manga material they spanned, but everything to do with Naruto making a shitty kids show.

Hi, i am new to this forum. I honestly did not think this episode was that bad. It was far better then the previous ones. The first episode was quite good and i for one enjoyed the fight between kankuro and sasori. I think the anime team did a good job considering that they could not give away to much info on the abilities of sasori. The second episode was a little talky but also it was necessary to move the plot. The filler in episode two was a little boring but not enough to ruin the episode. Also the way the got the drama through that episode was well done. All in all i give it a 9/10.

I was not fond very much for episode eight, but there a few things that made up for an interesting twist.
The end for the episode as well had some intrigue element.
Episode nine returned more on par with the mood of the beginning episodes, and there were lots of stunning developments.

National Letter of Intent (NLI)
The National Letter of Intent (NLI) is a binding agreement between a prospective student-athlete and an NLI member institution. With the agreement, a prospective student-athlete agrees to attend the institution full-time for one academic year (two semesters) and the institution agrees to provide athletics financial aid for at least one academic year (two semesters). If a student-athlete does not fulfill the NLI agreement, he or she has to serve one year in residence (full-time, two semesters) at the next NLI member institution and lose one season of competition in all sports. For more information regarding NLIs, visit the NCAA site.

Prospects Who May Sign a NLI:
In order to sign a NLI, a high school or preparatory school prospective student-athlete must first register with the NCAA Eligibility Center and complete the amateurism certification questionnaire.
The following prospective student-athletes may sign a NLI:
- Prospective student-athletes who will be attending a four-year institution in the fall for the first time as full-time students.
- 4-2-4 transfer student-athlete who is graduating from a two-year college.
- In football only, midyear junior college transfers who must graduate at midyear.
Financial Aid Requirement
A NLI must be accompanied by a financial aid agreement from the institution.
Coaching Changes
A NLI is an agreement with an institution and not a particular coach. For example, if a coach leaves an institution after a prospective student-athlete signs a NLI, the prospective student-athlete remains bound the by the provisions of the NLI.
Dead Period Restrictions
The NLI initial signing date is surrounded by a dead period that starts at 12:01 AM on Monday prior to the initial date of signing and ends Thursday at midnight after the initial date of signing. No in-person on- or off-campus contacts are permitted during a dead period. In sports other than football, you may make unlimited telephone calls to prospects on the initial date for signing a NLI and the two days following the initial date of signing.
Recruiting Ban After Signing
Once a prospective student-athlete signs a valid NLI, other institutions may not call, write or have contact with the prospect or the prospect's parents.

The bright night lights at Deer Valley Resort will once again beam over the next three days as the VISA Freestyle World Cup makes its annual stop in Park City on Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
The event will feature moguls (Thursday), aerials (Friday) and dual moguls (Saturday), as the world's top freestyle ski athletes vie for crucial points that count toward qualification for the 2014 Olympic Winter Games in Sochi, Russia.
Some of America's premier freestyle athletes competing at Deer Valley include defending World Cup champion and Olympic medalist Hannah Kearney, Olympic bronze medalist Bryon Wilson and 2009 World Champion Patrick Deneen.
American aerialists include World Cup veteran Dylan Ferguson and Olympian Emily Cook. Kearney, who has a long string of success on the hills at Deer Valley, recently returned to competing following a training crash earlier this season.
"Deer Valley is the best venue on the World Cup circuit, and everyone always looks forward to competing there," Wilson said in a release. "It has the best crowds and the best overall feel. Deer Valley gives me a similar feeling that I had at the Winter Olympics."
While the Freestyle World Cup is the top evening ticket in Park City, the Sprint U.S. Grand Prix snowboarding and freeskiing halfpipe finals are starring at Park City Mountain Resort on the world-famous Eagle Superpipe during the afternoon on Friday and Saturday. Notable athletes included are Louie Vito, Gretchen Bleiler, Simon Dumont, Jen Hudak and Alex Schlopy.
A late add to the snowboard halfpipe competition was none other than Olympic gold medalist Shaun White, as one of the sport's biggest stars will be pursuing valuable Olympic qualifying points in the halfpipe events along with his peers.
All events at both Deer Valley Resort and Park City Mountain Resort are free to the public.

Advantages Of Hiring Skip Bins Rather Than Buying
When you want to effectively collect the waste in your home, institution or organization, there are a couple of things that you can do. One, you can buy high quality skip bins that you will manage. On the other hand, you will hire the skip bins from companies that offer these services. Each of these strategies has its own advantages and disadvantages. This article will explain a couple of key advantages why you should hire skip bins rather than buy the skip bins yourself. By having a clear understanding of all this, you need to note that you will be at a good position to make the right choice.
The first main advantage why you might decide to hire a good skip bin rather than buy is that of the costs impacts. The fact of the matter is that you are not a solid waste specialist. You concentrate on doing other key things to make a living. Therefore, by buying the skip bins, you will incur costs in the original buying of the product. Secondly, you will also spend more money on managing the skip bin to ensure that it is always emptied on the right time. All this costs should not be incurred at all. What needs to be done is that of hiring a good company that supplies these skip bins. When you hire a company, the fact is that you will not end up spending a lot of cash on all this. You will be paying only a couple of dollars on a monthly basis for the whole process. Also, since you are an individual, you will have to pay a lot of cash to the disposal site. For the company, it utilises economies of scale to reduce the cost. click here for more information skip bin hire Sydney.
The next main advantage of hiring a good skip bin from a credible company such as 5 star bins is that of time efficiency. Remember that when you hire the company, you will always be at a good position to get the service as long as you have paid for. However, if you decide to manage the skip bin on yourself, it will end up affecting your life and how productivity it is. Remember that the time that you spend dealing with the waste could be used to do other important things. It is also important to note that the company has the experience in waste management which is a trait that you could be lacking.

5 Huge Stocks to Trade This Week - views
BALTIMORE (Stockpickr) -- Never confuse genius with a bull market. Oh, sure.
With the S&P 500 testing out new highs lately, that old nugget of wisdom has been popping up more and more. Everybody looks like Warren Buffett or Jim Simons when the market's going up, right? Wrong.
The thing is, stock market participation is at a generational low right now, and lots of investors have been left out of 2013's rally. And plenty of professional investors have managed to trade their way out of the upside in stocks, building equity exposure late in the game and then exiting their stock positions in late June when the market corrected. That makes it a little harder to shrug off performance for investors who've been hanging on all the way up.
>>5 Big Stocks to Trade for Gains
But stocks are moving up. And with the S&P now clear of 1,700, there are still considerable trading opportunities popping up this summer. Today, we'll take a technical look atfive of them.
If you're new to technical analysis, here's the executive summary.
Technicals are a study of the market itself. Since the market is ultimately the only mechanism that determines a stock's price, technical analysis is a valuable tool even in the roughest of trading conditions. Technical charts are used every day by proprietary trading floors, Wall Street's biggest financial firms, and individual investors to get an edge on the market. And research shows that skilled technical traders can bank gains as much as 90% of the time.
>>5 Rocket Stocks Set to Rally
Every week, I take an in-depth look at big names that are telling important technical stories. Here's this week's look at five high-volume stocks to trade this week.
Toyota Motors
2013 has been a good year for Toyota Motors (TM) year-to-date, the Japanese auto giant has rallied more that 44%, buoyed by an international car market that's been on fire. But Toyota could be due for some bigger gains this summer thanks to a bullish price setup in shares.
>>4 Big Stocks on Traders' Radars
Toyota is currently forming an ascending triangle pattern, a setup formed by horizontal resistance to the upside at $130, and uptrending support below shares. Basically, as TM bounces in between those two technical levels, it's getting squeezed closer and closer to a breakout above $130. When that happens, we've got a buy signal in this stock.
The 50-day moving average has been a pretty good proxy for support over the course of this pattern. After the breakout happens, the 50-day is where I'd recommend parking a protective stop.
Wells Fargo
Investors are getting a second chance for a low-risk entry in shares of Wells Fargo (WFC). Wells has been in a well-defined uptrend for the better part of the year, bouncing in between trendline support and resistance that had been in place since November -- until last month, that is.
>>5 Stocks Triggering Breakout Trades on Big Volume
That's when Wells Fargo broke out above its trendline resistance level, triggering a buy signal in shares.
Wells' breakout is a big signal for traders, indicating that buyers have gotten eager enough to take on shares that they've overwhelmed the gains-taking that's consistently acted like a price ceiling all the way up. But now a throwback in this stock is giving traders a second chance at a low-risk entry.
A throwback happens when a stock moves back down to test newfound support at its former breakout level -- in this case at $44. And while throwbacks look ominous, they're actually constructive for stock prices because they re-verify the stock's ability to catch a bid at support.
Now looks like a good time to build a position in WFC -- just keep a tight stop.
Bank of America
All of the same can be said for Bank of America (BAC) -- that's because the $160 billion banking stock is showing traders the exact same pattern right now. That shouldn't come as a huge surprise. BofA and Wells Fargo operate in the same business, so it makes sense that they correlate highly with one another; what's more surprising is just how strongly they correlate right now.
>>Income Investors Love These 5 REITs -- and So Should You
Like Wells, BofA broke out above its uptrend last month, and also like Wells, Bank of America is throwing back to retest newfound support. BAC's uptrend wasn't as longstanding as the one in WFC, but that doesn't really change the trading implications here: it still makes sense to build a position with a stop in place.
Momentum adds some extra confirmation to BAC that Wells doesn't have. 14-day RSI pushed into overbought mode on the breakout, a sign that this move has strength behind it. That's right -- "overbought" momentum can actually be a good thing. Looking back statistically, stocks that go overbought tend to go higher in the short-term, not correct. That's worth keeping in mind if you're watching BofA this week.
Canadian National Railway
Large-cap railroad stock Canadian National Railway (CNI) is getting close to a breakout of its own. The $42 billion Quebec-based firm has been trading sideways in a wide-ranging rectangle pattern since mid-February, bouncing in between resistance at $102 and support down at $94.
>>5 Earnings Stocks Everyone Hates -- but You Should Love
Whenever you're looking at any technical price pattern, it's critical to think in terms of buyers and sellers. Triangles, rectangles and other price pattern names are a good quick way to explain what's going on in this stock, but they're not the reason it's tradable. Instead, it all comes down to supply and demand for shares.
That resistance line at $102, for example, is a price where there's an excess of supply of shares; in other words, it's a place where sellers have been more eager to take recent gains and sell their shares than buyers have been to buy. That's what makes the move above it so significant -- a breakout indicates that buyers are finally strong enough to absorb all of the excess supply above that price level.
Wait for that signal to happen before you jump into this stock. It's already close.
Exxon Mobil
Last up is Exxon Mobil (XOM), the $400 billion oil and gas supermajor. Luckily, you don't need to be an expert technical analyst to figure out what's been going on lately in XOM .Shares are headed up and to the right. It's an uptrend.
>>2 Oil & Gas Stocks Rising on Big Volume
XOM has been trading higher in an uptrending channel since the middle of April. And while that trend channel is still relatively new, it's been well defined by tests on both sides -- that's what makes it tradable. I'd recommend buying XOM on its next bounce off of trendline support.
Buying off a support bounce makes sense for two big reasons: it's the spot where shares have the furthest to move up before they hit resistance, and it's the spot where the risk is the least (because shares have the least room to move lower before you know you're wrong). The energy sector has been trailing the broad market for the last few months, but now it looks like it's playing catch-up. XOM is one of the best-positioned ways to trade the trend.

With the T-Mobile Rocket 3.0 USB modem, they achieved impressive download speeds of 42Mbps, and upload speeds of 2.7Mbps. Much to Verizon's disappointment, that download speed is better than their LTE modems. To Verizon's credit, LTE upload speeds were faster, at 5 to 12Mbps. Also, Verizon's LTE enjoys wider coverage.
While these results might not be enough to make Verizon tremble, they should be sufficient to make Sprint sweat, as their WiMax peaks at 10Mbps. T-Mobile reports that the HSPA+ 42 coverage will expand to Chicago, Long Island, and northern New Jersey in the near future. By mid-2011, they expect to cover 140 million Americans in 25 cities.
Considering the potential sale to AT&T, we're curious to see how T-Mobile's sales will fare when consumers know that T-Mobile is delivering top-notch products, but are wary of future price-changes and data caps/throttling.

low growl
This is my first tech post, my name is Al. My 06 Liberty is getting a growling sound in the front wheels....on acceleration and slowing (but it's not feeling like coming from the brakes. A few friends have told me itmay be the front wheel hub bearings. I am pretty busy using my jeep now and really don't want to down it. What exactly am I talking about as far as it breaking down and/or leaving it go a bit how much more damage can be caused in cost. I don't know anything about 4 wheel drive and a little about front wheel drive. Since i'm running in 2 wheel drive now and hearing this I assume it's not a drive issue. (maybe it is, that's why i'm here)
I've been taking it to the dealership but my local one is very dis-functional as far as scheduling/getting repairs done on time and keeping me informed on costs.....so i'm gonna do it myself.
What is the best place to get tech info, I do motorcycle work and download alot of service manuals online. Are those available? I like to work from a computer service manual because I have one in my shop working on bikes.....it's what you're used to and if it works?????
Maybe You Tube for a review of what the heck the hub bearing is?
Any help on getting set upto do my own work and having the info at hand would be appreciated.

Questions regarding spacers...
I've seen a lot of folks running both the 1.5 and 1.25 inch spacers on their rigs. I'm going with an OME MD lift and keeping the Ronin wheels planning on running a 255/75R17. I'd like to keep the wheels within the wells to reduce the chance of hitting the inside of the rear fender when flexing.
I'd like to run spidertrax spacers as I've heard they are top notch, but am wondering why they list the 99-04 WJ spacers for 1.25" and 05+ WK spacers at 1.5"? They have two different part numbers but the same bolt circle and hub bore. I'd think Spidertrax would sell 2 sizes of spacers, 1.25 & 1.5 for 99+ Grands.
Am I missing an obvious difference? Can't I run the 1.25 spacers on my 05?
They are still hub centric, correct? Is the centerbore on both 71.5mm for both?
Re: Questions regarding spacers...
They told me the WJ has shorter studs than the WK, so they may protrude past the 1.25" spacer. Other than that, they are identical in hub bore and bolt circle. They told me to measure the length of my studs and if they are under 1.25" long, I'm good to go with the thinner spacers.
Re: Questions regarding spacers...
I opted for the 1.5" spacers and have no rubbing with my stock size P245/65R17. Will be running either 245/75R17 or 255/75R17 tires after the OME lift.
Here's some pics from my other thread showing how little they stick out past the fender.

LARP It Up
Young man, I've afraid we don't allow weapons in this wine shop. You'll have to leave your sword outside.
Now then, how can I help you? I see, so you've all been traveling together for quite some time and want to stock up on some truly magical items. Well, you've certainly come to the right place! Let's see if I can find something special for you. Oh, and Miss? Please do be careful with your cape. I'd hate for you to accidentally knock something to the floor.
So, are you looking for anything specific? Merlot, maybe, or a Cabernet? Hmm. "Potion of Healing," you say? Is that a fairly new wine? Uh huh. No, we've never ordered anything from a place called "Mystic's" or "Wizard's." I do, however, have a great deal on a three-pack of Domenico Amador County Cal-Italia wines today, if you're interested. The finest California grapes blended with Italian tradition in mind make for quite a restorative experience after a long day of… doing whatever it is you folks do in that plastic stuff you're wearing.
This 2006 Domenico Amador County Aglianico, for example, with its firm tannins, high acidity and a long-drying finish may be of interest to you. The aromas and flavors of black currant would go wonderfully with any rich meaty meal you might be having, whether it's lamb or heavily marbled rib eye.
Uh, well, you know, I'm not sure that anyone has ever mentioned… How did you say that? Wyvern? Yeah, I think they left that delicacy out of the tasting notes. But if you're barbequing the Wee… Uh, the thing you previously mentioned, the 2007 Domenico Amador County Barbera will pair splendidly. Its medium-body, aromas of cherry cola, flavors of toasty oak, supple tannins and high acidity should complement it well. No, sir, it will not give you cat-like stealth. In fact, too much may make you clumsier. And please do be mindful of have you wave that staff of yours around.
And last, but not least, the 2007 Domenico Amador County Primitivo. Rich, concentrated, and full bodied, its various flavors of ripe black fruit, blackberries, cocoa, plum, spice, black licorice, tobacco and red cherries provide a true adventure for your palate.
Ah, there we go! You folks are plenty interested in adventure, are you? That's great! Let's just get you all rung up at the counter, shall we? Hmm. You don't have anything smaller do you? I'm afraid we don't take gold pieces here.

The natural process of healing from a scar when you operate is actually one of evolution where it actually is going to improve over time. So sometimes, you don't have to anything and most of the time, you don't have to do anything. The beauty of my background and training is I'm also trained in laser surgery and I can do things such as lasers to get rid of some of the redness if patients are in a hurry to get rid of the redness. If there's any contour irregularities, you can take a laser and smooth the edges a little bit. So, you really have a lot of options when you're an expert in different fields, and you can use those to help you to optimize your cosmetic outcome when you have surgery.

15-Year-Old Lands $300k Book Deal, Movie Option
Maya Van Wagenen took a potentially bad situation — being the new kid in school — and turned it into a book and movie deal worth $300,000!
The now-15-year-old found a novel way to acclimate herself to her new 8th-grade class in Brownsville, Texas — by following the advice in an antiquated etiquette book. Maya followed the 1950s tome 'Betty Cornell's Teen-age Popularity Guide' word for word, keeping a journal about her modern experiences with her classmates.
Among other historic tips, she "learned the proper steps in how to extract pimples, coordinate her colors and keep her weight down — eat grapefruit and wheat toast," People writes.
The whole ordeal landed her a two-book deal with Penguin Group and a DreamWorks studio option for a movie. In April, she'll see the release of her first book, 'Popular: Vintage Wisdom for a Modern Geek.'
"I have always loved to read and dreamed about seeing my books on the shelves of a library and in the hands of other people," the teen says.
And what does the original volume's author think? Betty Cornell, who is now 86, loves the idea! "I thought I would never hear about the book again," she tells the New York Post.

Now that the closing ceremonies of the Summer Olympic Games in London have finished, it's time to look at the winners — not on the track or in the pool, but on Facebook. New statistics recently released by Wildfire detail the most popular athletes and countries on the social network during the Games.
Wildfire examined countries' global reach, showing the most athlete page likes relative to the country's number of active Facebook users. Thanks to sprinter Usain Bolt — who won three gold medals in London — Jamaica claimed the gold in that category by a wide margin. The next most popular country was Switzerland, mainly because of the popularity of tennis star Roger Federer. Russian tennis athlete Maria Sharapova helped bring her country to third place in global reach.
The top 10 countries in terms of global reach:
- Jamaica
- Switzerland
- Russia
- Netherlands
- Spain
- Great Britain
- Serbia
- United States
- France
- Brazil
Because of Facebook, we now have a metric showing just how popular athletes have become over the course of the Games. Here are the top 5 Olympic athletes, in terms of Facebook fan page growth:
- American gymnast Gabrielle Douglas (3,960 percent)
- German gymnast Marcel Nguyen (2,476 percent)
- French swimmer Camille Muffat (2,320 percent)
- French swimmer Yannick Agnel (1,482 percent)
- American gymnast McKayla Maroney (996 percent)
Wildfire also measured fan pages in terms of engagement — likes, comments and shares of posts relative to the number of athletes' fans:
- Camille Muffat
- French judo athlete Automne Pavia
- Yannick Agnel
- French slalom canoeist Tony Estanguet
- Japanese hammer thrower Koji Murofushi
As Facebook pointed out last week, Procter & Gamble has been one of the biggest Olympic brands on Facebook, due to its "Thank You, Mom," campaign. Wildfire tracked how well P&G's pages grew during the Games:
- P&G South America (74 percent)
- P&G Hungary (35 percent)
- P&G Italy (31 percent)
- P&G Poland (25 percent)
- Thank You, Mom by P&G (14 percent)
- P&G (12 percent)
- P&G Czech Republic (6 percent)
Growth of major sponsors in terms of "people talking about this":
Readers: How much did you interact with Olympic athletes or sponsors on Facebook?

Hemp Seeds: A Superfood You Need In Your Diet
Collective Evolution: Hemp seeds are becoming a very popular superfood among health conscious people. Whether you eat them plain, in cereals, snack bars, shakes or in oil form, they pack a big nutritional punch that should put hemp seeds in everyone's diet. Hemp seeds are made up of 24% protein, include the full range of amino acids and contain a perfect a balance of Essential Fatty Acids or EFAs. EFAs include omega-3 and omega-6, both help us keep a strong and healthy immune system and are responsible for shiny healthy looking skin, hair and nails. In fact, just 2 weeks of 1-2 tablespoons a day of hemp oil will drastically improve the appearance of your skin. For breastfeeding mothers, the EFAs from hemp can be a big help in replenishing the 11 grams of EFAs that are pulled from the mother daily through breastfeeding. The extra EFAs needs to come from a food source as the body does not replenish them on its own....read more>>>...

ColtsFans...Ed Reed signs,goes to WR,with limited special packages for WR plays; backs up safety n plays some role n return game/Yes-no?
I'd love it. Irsay is probably the only owner crazy enough to understand Ed.
Ed Reed has better hands than Dickson.
"What are you all doing here? I don't know what in the hell this is all about. I have no intention of signing Ed Reed to the goddamn team!"
He isn't fast enough for Al Davis to have considered him.
Ed doesn't have the same open field elusiveness that would have allowed him to line up as a slot or 4th WR back in the day (which we never did). He only got so many touches as the return specialist because he had such sure hands. I can only recall one, maybe two, muffed punt returns.
I'm glad I wasn't a football fan in the time where a lot of posters here seem to be...I can enjoy the Ravens without the incredible bitterness towards the Colts. Jim Irsay seems to tweet just for the purpose of being funny...I can definitely appreciate it.
Not to say that there aren't Ravens in the community today. But it was just different back then.
Also they got to listen to absurdly brilliant music and watch similarly spectacular movies. I discovered this new album earlier this week from 1967, "It's a beautiful day" by "It's a beautiful Day." My goodness, the most amazing album I've ever heard in my life. This band is outrageously talented and dynamic, even as talented as Roxy Music, Pink Floyd, Velvet Underground, David Bowie, King Crimson, etc. Notice a pattern in my list? All the music listed is what poor ol' Colts fans got to see live at concerts, music that echoed the time that America was living through. Now the music and movies have sharply declined. There's no compariso. But there ARE good bands and actors today, don't get me wrong. MGMT is a superb band, and there are tons of spectacular actors like Tom Hanks, Bryan Cranston, and Joaquin Phoenix.
(One odd thing though is that the TV shows today are every bit as good as in the past. Breaking Bad, Curb your Enthusiasm, Modern Family, The Wonder Years, Freaks and Geeks, etc)

Bromelain Demonstrates Anti-Fungal Properties
Byron's Comments:
Another tool to assist with fungal problems.
Study Title:Bromelain, a Cysteine Protease from Pineapple (Ananas Comosus) Stem, is Aa Inhibitor of Fungal Plant Pathogens.
Study Abstract:
Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of bromelain, a cysteine protease isolated from pineapple (Ananas comosus), on growth of several agronomically important fungal pathogens.
Methods and Results: The purification of bromelain from pineapple stems was carried out by chromatography techniques and its antimicrobial activity was tested against the fungal pathogens F. verticillioides, F. oxysporum, and F. proliferatum by broth microdilution assay. A concentration of 0.3 μmol l(-1) of bromelain was sufficient for 90% growth inhibition of F. verticillioides. The capability of bromelain to inhibit fungal growth is related to its proteolytic activity.
Conclusions: The study demonstrated that stem bromelain exhibits a potent antifungal activity against phytopathogens and suggests its potential use as an effective agent for crop protection. Significance and Impact of the Study: The results support the use of a natural protease that accumulates at high levels in pineapple stems as alternative to the use of chemical fungicides for crop protection.

Taipei diner's Jurassic theme helps avoid extinction
By Ralph Jennings
TAIPEI (Reuters Life!) - A dark but never empty restaurant in Taipei has avoided extinction over two decades of ever-changing food fads and themes by standing by its dinosaurs.
The three-storey Jurassic Restaurant packs hundreds of patrons a night into cavernous halls alongside 6-meter (19 ft) long dinosaur skeletons, some with gaping mouths big enough to swallow a beer keg.
Dinosaurs may have gone extinct millions of years ago, but their appeal lives on, said restaurateur Huang Pei-song.
"Because dinosaurs don't exist, everyone will say 'wow, look at these'," Huang said.
Jurassic Restaurant, named after a era some 135 to 203 million years ago when dinosaurs such as Diplodocus roamed earth, opened in 1988 as most Taipei bars were relying on American "Wild West" themes, which have since gone out of fashion.
The original owner was also a Jurassic junkie.
Today, the place competes with restaurants that specialize in hospital, airliner and toilet decor in a country that seems obsessed with theme diners.
The restaurant can seat up to 500 people, including some in private rooms lined with black fiberglass rock. Restroom taps are shaped like Tyrannosaurus Rex heads, as are the handsets on the house pay phones. Continued...

Just a summer afternoon's diversion away from work and making music with various bands -

the small hours
It started because I needed to get DSL at my little California apartment for my job. That was during the tech boom.
Just after the DSL was installed, I realized I could buy my first and last name as a domain name and map it to the computer here in my apartment. Which seemed too convenient to be true, but I was pleasantly surprised.
One afternoon, I thought up something fun. This. Except I started making up the hobbit names.
said I should use, um,
Really! So she compiled hobbit names from the Lord of The Rings appendices.
I then placed a link to this page from
my weblog
And millions of page views
and counting
later, here we are.
(And later, due to hundreds of requests, I created an
Elvish Name Generator
on Nov. 11, 2002.)
Frequently asked questions
Why is it so slow?
A: It's being hosted from my apartment...
Will you sell this site to me?
A: Really? Thanks for the offer, but I'm sorry. I thought about selling it when the traffic exploded. And, from nowhere,
contacted me via email. They had really big bandwidth, a good site, and they were, to my mind, the most suitable and timely web presence for this particular project. But they couldn't take it for various legal reasons and for those same legal reasons, I can't mention them on this site or in private, so don't bother emailing or asking me about them, but I can tell you they were fun to work with...
Didn't you know that in the Tolkein-verse Elves don't have two names? I mean sometimes they do, but you've mixed up the Quenya and Sindarin dialects and besides I'm somewhat sure the author specified that a diaresis always occurs in an elven word that ends with the letter 'e'...(trails off)
A: Ah. I see. Yes, yes. I understand. How ...good... of you to catch that. *backs away slowly, dials police*
Will you make other name generators?
A: Well...I doubt it, since currently I'm fortunate enough to be working as CEO of
and since this page is really, really old. But maybe, if I find a lull, enforced or otherwise, in my work life. :)
How's it work?
A: Compared to some of the other name generators out there, the algorithm is simple. It takes the first and last letter of each name then, based on a character set, expresses those letters as a two-digit key which maps to the index of a particular Hobbit name.

''I'm not the type to brag,'' Victor Green said today, still seething over his perceived slight at not being voted to the Pro Bowl. ''But I thought it was all about statistics and performance. To be a third alternate, that means there's five other guys in the A.F.C. that played better?''
Not likely.
So Green, the Jets' strong safety, remained almost as agitated as he was on Wednesday, when he lashed out at all the opposing players who did not vote him onto the All-Star team. He called the voting a ''popularity contest.''
He will carry that anger on the field at Miami Monday night, when the Jets will face the Dolphins and Dan Marino for the second time in three weeks. When the teams last met, Green was the game's leading tackler.
He often is. But when Bill Parcells took over as coach in 1997, he saw this odd statistic: Green had led the Jets in tackles during their 1-15 season. To Parcells, that meant opposing runners were making their way into the secondary, where Green wrapped them up. It also meant the Jets were yielding big yardage.Continue reading the main story
''If Victor Green leads the team in tackles again, we're in trouble,'' Parcells announced then.
''Yeah, he told me that, too,'' Green recalled. ''We played 'up' a lot under Rich Kotite,'' he said referring to the former head coach. ''This defense we have now is not designed for me to get up there. I'm just around the ball. I watch the films a lot and I know where to go.''
In Parcells's first year, despite his prediction, Green was the club's leading individual tackler. Last year, Green was the club's top tackler.
This season, he will probably lead the team again. His 104 total tackles are 22 more than linebacker Mo Lewis, and his unassisted tackles are 12 more than linebacker Marvin Jones has produced. But what annoys Green is that he leads all safeties in the American Football Conference with five interceptions, total tackles and blocked passes. Still, he could not unseat the Patriots' Lawyer Milloy in the voting for strong safety.
Parcells does not like to talk about the Pro Bowl. ''I don't vote in it, so there's nothing I can do about it,'' he said. But he does say of Green, ''strong safeties, tight ends and fullbacks are a breed of players in high-activity roles. As a result, the longevity of those players isn't great. It's a high-collision position that required physical ability and running ability. You're involved in the run and the pass. Victor hasn't missed a practice in three years.'' Then Parcells rapped a wooden table for luck.
Green has never missed a game as a Jet dating to 1993, although he did miss most of the practices in 1996 -- the year he led the league with more than 200 tackles.
''I had a bad shoulder and so I never practiced, but I played every Sunday,'' he said. ''Then when Bill came, he told me, 'You can't play unless you practice.' I'm not a big guy. I'm under 5-11, I weigh about 195 pounds and I don't miss a play. I'm covering the tight end and the deep middle.''
That is remarkable, because the opposing tight end often outweighs Green by 40 or 50 pounds. Still, his ability to ''read'' on the run gets him in position to be around the ball. It is a knack that some athletes have and others do not.
''It's natural, I think,'' Green said. ''You can't teach it.''
Jimmy Johnson, the Dolphins' coach, expects Green to continue his strong play. ''He's had some outstanding games against us over the years,'' Johnson said today.''
The last time the teams met in Miami, in fact -- when the Jets clinched a playoff berth last year -- Green intercepted a Dan Marino pass for an 87-yard return. In their first meeting this season, he picked off Marino twice.
Thus, when Aaron Glenn, the Jets' cornerback who played in the last two Pro Bowls, learned this week the results of this year's voting, he said, ''I am disappointed. But I'm disappointed for Victor Green. I really felt for Victor. I hurt for him because I know what it means to him.''
And now, everybody else does, too.
RAY LUCAS, the starting quarterback, gave each of his offensive linemen bottles of Dom Perignon '92, which cost $140 each. ''I took care of them the best way I could,'' he said. ''I can't afford stereos or Rolexes,'' he said, alluding to the gifts quarterback VINNY TESTAVERDE doled out last year. . . . JASON FERGUSON has been practicing since his four-game suspension ended and will see action Monday night. He is likely to rotate with ERNIE LOGAN and JASON WILTZ.Continue reading the main story

Just bought my first GTO, I need a pontiac expert!
I found a stellar deal on a 68 gto. I am still amazed that I got it. It is in fantastic shape, very straight, newer paint and vinyl top, new interior, good wheels and tires, clean engine bay. Everything is a dream except for the "rebuilt 400", or so he says it was rebuilt, it just seized up on me. Even so, the car was still a great buy.
Here's my story. I spent about everything I had on the car. Now it needs an engine. From what I have been reading, pontiac engines require experience to build, and they are not as easy to build right as a sbc. This would be my first engine build, so I'd rather not attempt to build an engine that requires a lot of care.. I would rather start on a cheaper project build like a ford 302 or 350 chevy.. Anyways, I have been looking online at complete engines, from places like Butler Performance. I am looking at about $7000 to $8000 minimum for a decent build. I roughly researched the parts and work I would need to build a decent street engine around 400hp, and the cost was about $3500 plus whatever the machine shop would cost, plus I would want them to assemble it too, so it would be right back up around 6 or 7 grand.
I dont have that kind of money. I have been looking for alternatives, and I was recommended to check out a gm 6.0 ls motor. I see there are a lot of them, and I might be able to get one for a good price, but I dont know if it will fit in my car or if I will end up spending just as much money in the long run gettin it set up and making the conversion.
I have found a 73 400 on craigslist, and he says it's been overhauled and is ready to drop in and go. He wants $2500. It is sounding like that is my only option at this point, but there are many risks I'd be taking such as I have no idea what he has really done to the motor or how long it will last.
What should I do? I really want to drive my car..
Tell us more about why/how it siezed up, what happened?
Since you are going to fix it anyhow just pull it and dismantle it yourself if you can, take a look at it and determine what is wrong, you may have a good enough engine to work with or maybe not, if you want a basic strong 400 pontiac at about 350-400hp it should not cost you 6-7 grand to have this done. I would be mighty leary about getting another "rebuilt 400" at this point. Have you asked/told the guy you bought the car from about this? I'd be pi$$ed off.
That makes sense. If this motor is toast anyways, then there is nothing to lose by taking it apart. The guy bought this car from a local muscle dealer 2 years ago for $20k. He wants to build his boat, and has been trying to sell this car for a long time. Several people have made commitments to buy it, but all backed out. I had made him an offer awhile ago but he turned it down. After another deal break, and another guy not showing up, he told me that he would sell me the car. I got it for about half of what he paid.. so, even with a bad motor, it is still a good deal. I initially was upset, but it's ok I'd rather put my energy into figuring out a solution instead of dwelling on the misfortune. Now I have an opportunity to learn more about the car.
The engine is pretty clean. He was told by the shop that it had 30k on a rebuild. He said that it smoked a bit when he drove it to portland, (we live in WA) and he tightend the valve covers and it went away. When I got the car, the only problem I could hear with the engine was a small tick, which really sound like an exhaust leak at the passenger side header. I drove it for a day, and it was fine. I got on it a few times but not too much. The next day, I took it on the highway. When I stepped on it, it would smoke out of the tail pipe. Not a black smoke, but you could smell oil burning. It would go away when I let off. I also noticed power seemed to be down. Then a new sound began, a muffled clanking sound. As I pulled into Gig harbor, it started getting worse. I decided to take the car to my mechanics. On the way, the clanking got louder, and it's noise level was consistent with the amount of throttle I'd give it. More throttle=louder noise. It got worse and worse and about a mile before the shop, the car turned off. There was metal in the oil, My guess is that a rod or crank bearing got chewed up. The motor is seized.
If it is just a bearing, I was thinking that maybe I can just buy an eagle crank for 250 and new bearings? Is it possible to do A bottom end job without removing the entire engine from the car?
Cheapest most reliable option is probably to swap the entire drivetrain to a 5.3L ls engine, trans, and pcm. About 2500 to do it but its reliable and makes good power.
You know the 400 wasn't Pontiac's strongest engine. "IF" you wanted to keep it Pontiac I'd look for a 389 or a 421 (good luck finding this one!). OR I'd drop a Chevy engine in it, it's a bolt up project, and of course alot easier finding parts!
Hey nice wheels, my dad sold pontiacs/GM's back in the day and I can still remember him coming home with some nice demo's at lunch time, 70 judge was the one that is still clear in my mind, I was 6 and it has burned itself into my memory...
mmmm well you should yank it out of there, IMHO there is no way to know for sure whats going on until you do, don't mess with trying to rebuild it in the car, thats just crazy talk (no offence). We could all speculate what happened but sounds like a piston and/or rod broke...ooouch.
I'm pretty much a Chevy guy now but whatever you do , do NOT put a Chevy in it!!!! Once you do that it's not a real "Goat" any more.
My first performance build was a '67 GTO 400 when I was 20, if you just want a fun street engine then a Pontiac is no harder than a Chevy to build. Keep it simple, build it for TQ and it will give you years of "Smiles Per Mile" and run easy high 13's without breaking a sweat. If it were me I'd hunt down a 428 or 455 core or at least another 400 if your's is terminal and can't be rebuilt.
I have to ask though, when it started making noise and smoking why did you keep going? You could have saved yourself a lot of grief and money if you had just pulled over and shut it off.
Things happened really fast, the noise was muffled at first, so I just figured I' drop it off up the street. I did make matters worse by driving it...lesson learned...the hard way as usual
I would love to rebuild it, but I dont have the tools or an experienced partner to help show me the ropes and particulars. I'm pretty sure I could handle the bottom end with a few more tools, But setting up a valve train makes me nervous...
I agree with hippie, keep it poncho. Putting an engine together to save loot you must do as much of it yourself as you can but:
The bottom end machining and parts matching is were you want to have someone else do it for you. If you think you can handle the assembly then you still need to have everything sized and bored to fit together once you get all the pieces, better just to have the short block machined/assembled by the same crew and pick it up complete with cam installed and timing gears done and pan on there. Then just bolt on the heads which you may have freshened up and checked for cracks, spring condition, seating etc. The valves/adjustments are easy when compared to the short block assembly:
lots of good poncho motors featured here...cool
Still all this is no were near 7 grand for a basic motor, but as I suggested take it out first and see whats up doc, she may be too far gone :pain:
The bigger the hurry you get into the more money your going to spend. You can always get another engine but body's like that are hard to find. I would take my time and wait for a good engine to put it back to stock form. It would be worth more money that way and everyone would still be envious of it regardless if it's fast or not. Nice car! :D
Thank you! That is always my first priority when buying a car, a good body. Body work is something that I have zero experience in, or tools to do so. And it is the most expensive to get done. You're right about taking my time. From experience, I have learned that rushing and being naive gets me into trouble. I have put an add out for a complete 400 on craigslist to see what happens. For now, I am going to tear down this one and see what the damage is. I'll post some pictures of the progress, and I'm sure I'll be back to ask about any potential motors I find.
Does anyone know of a good gto or older pontiac forum? I'd like to see what the members have for sale.
Where can I find out what all the numbers on my fender tag mean? Is there a website I can use for free like for mopars?
I'm sticking with pontiac... :)

Go to http://www.ultimategto.com if you look you will find everything there from data plate decoders to production numbers.
You have a BEAUTIFUL car .dont F*%# it up by putting a chevrolet engine in it. the 400 you have will probably be best to have rebuilt and you can see if the numbers match by doing a PHS documentation on the car.( Pontiac historical services) Nothing wrong with a chevy motor ,it just wont win anything at a car show without a pontiac engine
Also go to http://www.highperformancepontiac.com for other good info.
Tomohawk makes several affordable crank kits for the 400 and you can strech it to 428 with a stroker. The 400 is a real good motor. Also read this
Look up http://www.eaglerod.com/
If that dont get your heart pumping best check into a nursing home . ;)
