500hp 327 sbc
I am rebuilting my 327 this winter, but i am taking the time to add stud girdles, thicker pushrods, an oil cooler, and a properly measured CR.
to recap: i was given this motor from my dad, but i was sitting for about 2 years. I did not have the knowledge at the time to freshen the motor up. It seams that the person that originally built the motor only intended to race a while and then have it die. at the time it had 462 heads with 1.94/1.50 valves, 3/8 rocker studs w/o girdle, no studs at all, and a stock 8" dampener. The guy put in a crane cams saturday night special cam. 4200-7200 oval track cam, 256/264 @ .050".
The whole long block is being rebuilt, .060" over, main studs, GM large journal forged crank, speedpro forged pistons, and possibly scat forged i-beam rods
This is my plan so far:
Sell my 462 heads and get RHS pro-action 200cc heads w/50cc chamers.
Speedpro flat top pistons, 2 vavle reliefs
Isky oval track cam, 200571, 3000-7600 .570/.580, 258/262 @.050
.015 or .020 thick head gasket (with .025 deck clearance)
Shooting for 11.5 - 12.1:1 cr, cam has intake valve closing point of 69 abdc.
Comp cams gold 1.5 ratio rocker arms 7/16 stud, arp pro series studs, stud girdle.
undecided - push rods at least .080 wall either 5/16 or 11/32
Engine oil cooler???
Good cooling system
Super victor intake W/ holley dp 650 (will soon get a 750 main body upgrade w/o choke tower)
Some kind of SFI approved dampener.
From what i read from Tech inspector's posts, and several cam tech sites, 165 PSI cranking pressure and 7.5-8.5 DCR is good for pump gas. with my short stroke and late intake valve closing point, 12.1 SCR gets me right around 8.4 DCR. plus i can advance or retard the cam timing to change the DCR a little.
I have already invested a lot into the car: Completely rebuilt rear-end with yukon axles, 4.10's, eaton posi. Upgraded fuel system, AN lines, mallory 140 gph pump. I currenly have summit 1.5" tube shorty headers, with dual exhuast that dumps before rear axle. I am hoping for 500 BHP with open headers.
A couple questions:
Would it be worth it to sell my reconditioned gm rods and buy some scat 5.7" i beam rod rated at 750 HP?
This will be my DD for the first few months, but then will turn into my weekend car. I have a sane car that i will use more frequently anyhow. I want to have the power available, but not be pushing things to the limit. Would an engine oil cooler help for longevity?
I am sacraficing all luxuries in the car to get HP to the wheels, no a/c, no heater, no computer. I have underdrive pulleys for crank and alternator since i plan on turning 7000+ rpm. I am not too worried about manifold vacuum or idle quality. I also happen to live in an emissions free county. most of my driving is on the freeway and farm roads. Not very much stop and go stuiff.
Tell my what you think, what might you do differently? Any things i am forgetting? I am looking for this motor to last a good while, but i don't intend to abuse it or let things go. I have all the time in the world (relatively speaking)
My car is a 1988 camaro rs, lookes beat up, faded paint, but hopefully will be fast!
Have you considered stroking it to a 383?
First off that cam in a 327 will run more in the 4000 to 8000 range it is advertised for use in 350 cid engines so with your smaller cid the power range will move up.I think you would be far happier with a smaller cam somewhere in the 240 range at .050. Your stock rods are fine up to an 7000 rpm "Short Duration " blast but with the proper cam you won't need to spin it this high any way.As an example my 355 in my bu has a crane cam with 260 @.050 intake .557 lift, 268 @.050 .572 lift exhaust with well ported 292 turbo heads 13 t o1 compression 4000 stall converter and 4.10 gears it is used mainly at the strip.It will haul the mail at full throttle but it also idles at 1200rpm, is a dog below 3500rpm and I shift at 7800rpm.I would not want to do much street driving with it it would be a pain.The real truth is in a street hotrod engine smaller is better when it comes to cams and pump gas compression.
You may want to consider better pistons.The SpeedPro/TRW are old school,and are usually heavier than newer pistons.
If it was me i wouldn't go with 50cc heads and want it to be reliable and last a while. But thats just my opinion.
I wish i could get an aftermarket block and make a 454 sbc, but i can't. this motor was given to my from my dad, and it just happen to have all forged stuff and whatnot. I am using what i have, and believe me, i will move on the much larger CID engines 10 years down the road.
From the isky catalog, the cam is designed for 327-350 engines. The next cam down the list is meant for 350-400 engines. With desktop dyno2000, peak HP is at 6500, and peak TQ is at 5000. I am not sure how accurate this program in, but i can enter every bit of data on the engine. head flow charts, cam timing, cr, intake style, exhaust style etc. The isky cam, 201571 get me at 450 hp and 400 tq with mufflers, and a dual plane intake (air gap), and then shoots to 550 HP 470 TQ with single plane intake and large tube headers open exhaust.
I have considered a smaller cam, but i am ok living with a 1200rpm idle. The last cam in the motor was very close to this new one, 256/262 @ .050. Pulled like mad from 3500 on, That is what i like, besides, there is only one stoplight from my house to work. My friend has a camaro just like mine with a slighlty above "stock" 350, hyd. cam, "stock" 350 heads, idles at 700. It gets off the line, but overall there is less seat of your pants feeling.
Why would 50cc heads be worse than, say, 64 cc heads. I was originally going to get 64cc heads along with dome pistons, but someone on this forum said to stay away from domes, as they are more prone to detonation.
in reality, the is the same combustion space with equal CR and different domes/head cc's. I read that flame fronts don't travel as well around domes, especially large domes.
What pistons would you recommend? I don't want a $1000 set of pistons, but if a lighter piston will put less strain on my rods, the i am all ears.
What would you say a good, safe max rpm for scat 5.7 forged i-beam rods are? In the summit catalog, the rods are rated a 750 hp, but no max rpm is listed.
Thanks for the input.
Actually the stock rods with good bolts are good to around 8000 in short bursts I have no experience with scat but plenty of bad ones with eagle wouldn't use them if they were free.The 450 hp estimate is close the 550 is pretty far off however the curve shown on the desk top is usually pretty accurate. So the peak should be right where it shows it. Your trw slugs will work fine at this rpm.
Get longer rods and some better pistons. Longer rods will make a difference in an engine like this. 6.25" rods would help that thing sing in the higher RPM's. That cam is too big for what I would want to drive on the street in a 327, but it is possible. You still need to knock your static compression down to around 11-11.5:1, and run race gas when you plan to open up the throttle. You didn't detail the current curb weight, but a heavier car will need a slightly lower compression than a light one.
even with 93 octane youll ping with the comp ratio you got.
you might get away with backing the timing off a bit but then you defeated the porpouse of a 500 hp 327.
good forged lower end is a must!
A 177 cid supercharger would go a long way toward helping you reach your goal. It's a great replacement for cubic inches.
Before this rebuilt, i was running 11.7:1 CR with pump gas and 38-40 locked timing. NO detonation at all, my old pistons were speedpro 7000p with 14.3cc domes. But my cam had an intake valve closing of 74 deg ABDC. whats the deal??? I have heard both sides of the fence...???
How would you use 6.25 rods? wouldn't you need to get special pistons too? Also, the isky catalog on the cam recommends a rod length of 5.7-5.85. My current stock rods have arp rod bolts. My guess is that they have has several cycles of heating the wrist pin end to get the pin in, and then having the pins pressed out. does this hurt the structure of the rod? The top 1.5" of the rod is bluish in color.
car weighs 3400 lbs but i plan to strip it, and try my best to get ~3000lbs
You've been getting away with that compression ratio only because you are at a high altitude. It will be fine if you stay on the mountain, but it won't work if you plan to go anywhere closer to sea level. I wouldn'tbe trying to go beyond that 11.7-1 with the rebuild, however.
Your rods should be fine, heating for pin insertion will turn them shades of blue .
Yes, 6.25" rods (or any rod a different length than 5.7") will require a different piston, but you are buying new pistons, right?? The only added expense is a set of rods, and you are worried about the stockers, so... get new??
Do you realize you can use a 6" rod 350 piston to make a 6.125" rod 327?? 6.125" rods are readily available as a low cost sportsman type rod(I-Beam).
Your forged factory crank, 6.125" Scat rods, Use 6" rod 350 piston with 1.265" compression distance, equals a 9.015" stack height. I'd use KB Forged Head Relief series piston part # IC 9930 Flat Top 2 Valve relief 3.7cc relief volume uses standard width rings, then open up the 50cc head to around 55-56cc to get the compression ratio right. NOW YOUR TALKIN', power to 8000 rpm!!
Alternative KB premium Forged piston is # IC 702 bigger 4.9cc valve reliefs and takes narrower 1/16" rings. You can also do a 6" rod 327 using KB# IC 790 1.385 compression height, 4.9cc 2 valve reliefs 1/16" rings ,equals 9.010" stack height.
Don't worry about what the Isky catalog says about the rod length for that cam. Buy the cam based on the cams specs and the operational rpm range of the engine.

As much as i have thought of the idea of a supercharger, i don't have $1800. That is the simplest one in the summit catalog. Also, i would like to stick to "all motor" power for now. Later on down the road, i plan on getting a fuel injected lsx 454. But that opens up a whole new can of worms.
I work at a restaurant, so i am on a "budget." I don't have a set spending limit, but i have to but this whole motor piece by piece. I will get good parts, but i won't rush things. I don't want to go all crazy with cnc porting and meticulous decking/surfacing work.
I have heard/seen some bad things about Keith black. Are there forged pistons better in relation to their hypereutectic ones?
So with the 350 rod/piston combo: Will the skirts clear the crank counterweights? Will all the clearances be ok without machining?
I guess i just can't get over the sound of 7000+ rpm. it is SWEET. I will move on to more sane things as i get older.
KB Forged are much better than the "Hyperpathetics" they sell, and a little better looking than Speed-Pro on the machining. They are a nice piston.
6.125" rod used with the 6" rod 350 piston in a 327 has no clearance issues in the rotating assembly or clearing the block and cam. Everything clears. Long rod and short piston keeps it well away from the crank counterweights.
Which line of the KB forged would you recommend? I see they have several different "version" of their forged pistons.

"We were looking for a sticker photo for my daughter's sorority recruitment cards. It needed to be small. The size was perfect, but I would've liked to have seen a few more designs. In particularly more "grown up" designs. The ones you currently offer have a baby/child theme."
"These labels are great to use instead of birthday cards. When our kids go to a party, we place this label on the gift and write in the birthday boy or girls name. The parents appreciate it because they don't have to deal with a card they're only going to throw away. And you will save a ton of money on birthday cards!"
"These are adorable! I stick them on everything my son takes to school. It is so easy to label all his belongings and feel confident that they will all return home:)"

Aurora mayor Tom Weisner delivers his state of the city address. (Al Benson photo)
Perceptions catching up with reality of an Aurora that's safer, economically secure
The bad old days of a city plagued by gangs, drugs and crime are fading.
Now perceptions of Aurora are catching up with the reality of a safer, more secure and confident city.
"We're putting behind what seemed like a perpetual winter here," Mayor Tom Weisner said in his State of the City address last week. "By perpetual winter, I'm speaking literally about the last several months. But on a metaphoric level, I'm talking about what seemed like a perpetual winter in which Aurora seemed frozen in an environment of gangs, drugs and crime."
Weisner delivered his address at a gathering at Piper's Banquets hosted by the Aurora Regional Chamber of Commerce.
Between 2003-13, major crimes in the state's second largest city plunged to the lowest since detailed statistics began being tracked in 1979:
* Burglaries and thefts dropped 51 percent;
* Robberies fell 56 percent;
* Murders were down 82 percent, including one whole year without a homicide.
Major crime statistics also fell another 13.5 percent in 2013, Weisner said.
"Today, Aurora is a better, safer, thriving place to live, work, play and raise the next generation of Aurorans," he said. "We have the lowest crime rate in Aurora since 1979 when we began keeping modern statistics. We are raising the bar and setting a new standard for safety in our community."
Movoto, a national real estate company, recently called Aurora one of the nation's top 10 safest among 100 U.S. mid-sized cities.
Weisner credited the "dedication and cooperation" of local residents, churches and schools and community groups.
"But I want to particularly thank the men and women of the Aurora Police Department who put their lives on the line every single day to keep our city safe and to make sure that we are no longer subjected to the daily violence we see in so many other larger cities in Illinois and across the nation.
"We are letting go of our old image as a struggling, crime-ridden blue collar town dreaming of past glories," Weisner said. "We are redefining ourselves as a leader, not a follower."
As the the country moves away from deep recession of the last decade, Weisner reported that local real estate has rebounded. Last year Aurora was ranked No.1 in single family home detached sales and second in single family attached home sales in the Chicago suburban market.
The city also established four home ownership assistance programs and will invest in efforts to restore vacant and foreclosed properties to help stabilize property values.
As the housing market recovers, other Aurora economic indicators have also evened out and are expanding.
"Last year, companies large and small invested more than $124 million in commercial construction, and added almost 300,000 new square feet to the city's landscape," Weisner said.
"There were so many new or expanded businesses that the list reads almost like a dictionary – covering the entire alphabet from A – Americhem Systems to Zoup."
City investments in infrastructure like a 43-mile fiber optic network and rebuilt bridges and roadwork are also paying off. There's also the reviving riverfront with the RiverEdge Park that drew thousands of people to downtown for entertainment and events and will offer another season of concerts and activities this summer.
And the Paramount Theater and it's high-quality run of musicals and other entertainment is expected to draw more than 400,000 persons for shows at the landmark theater.
"Aurora has come a long way this past decade and we are positioned to go much farther," Weisner said.
"The incredible thing about letting go of the past is that it allows you to have your hands free to grab for something higher and obtain it. The City of Aurora is now in the position to grab for something higher. We have raised the bar and raised expectations for the future."

All you need to do to get pre-schoolers to pay attention to the story is to sing a song. It goes like this: (hands move exactly as words in song direct)
(Place hands in front of you in the air and open them up)
•"open them"
•"shut them" (close hands)
•"open them"
•"shut them"
•"hide them behind your back" (place hands behind back)
•"put them in front" (put hands in front again)
•"shut them"
•"open them"
•"shut them"
•"open them"
•"fold them in your lap"

4 oz Semisweet Chocolate
1/2 Cup Kings Organic Unsalted Butter
3 Large Kings Organic Eggs
3/4 Cup Sugar
1/2 Cup Cocoa Powder
1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.
1. Grease an 8-inch round cake pan. Dust with cocoa and set aside.
2. Chop the chocolate and place it in the top of a double boiler. Add the butter and cook over simmering water, stirring occasionally, until the chocolate and butter are melted and thoroughly incorporated.
3. While the chocolate and butter are melting, break the eggs into a small bowl and beat lightly.
4. Remove the double boiler from the heat. Pour the melted chocolate mixture into a medium bowl.
5. Stir in the sugar, cocoa, beaten eggs and vanilla into the chocolate mixture. Stir or fold to combine.
6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
7. Prepare a bain-marie (water bath). Line a pan larger than the cake pan with a clean kitchen towel. There should be at least 2 or 3 inches around the cake pan. Place the cake pan on the towel. Add boiling water to the larger pan to come halfway up the sides of the cake pan.
8. Carefully place the bain-marie into the preheated oven. Bake for 30 minutes. Note that the center will still look wet.
9. Set on a rack to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Unmold the cake on a rack or serving plate to cool.
10. Dust with powdered sugar, if desired, and serve.

I've had 2 Blepharoplasty surgeries, and the last one didn't correct the hollowness. I fear a 3rd surgery may affect muscle function and cause ptosis. Can surgery be done inside the eyelid (pink area), or a less invasive method of fat grafting to correct my results?
Can you refer a surgeon in Asia who can do this competently? I can't afford to go to U.S.

In addition to our mission of empowerment, we are committed to gathering a think tank of inspiring women leaders who can amplify our message of expanding businesses with social-good initiatives in communities around the world.

Taiwan aboriginals lament losing identity to modernity
By Ben Tai and Christine Lu
TAITUNG, Taiwan (Reuters Life!) - At a harvest festival harking back to ancient times, aboriginals from Taiwan's largest indigenous tribe wear traditional ornaments over polo shirts and sing songs to their ancestors through a microphone.
The annual festival may appear odd in an island where agriculture is no longer the economic mainstay, but it is the only time a year the Amis tribe, which has an estimated 130,000 members, celebrates a language, heritage and culture that is dying out due to modernity.
"At our joint harvest festival, we feel very regretful about how fast our language is fading away," Raranges Hoki na Tungaw, spokesman for the MaKaPaHay Festival, told Reuters.
"At this event, we have to express ourselves in Mandarin Chinese for young people to understand. Although we want the young people to learn the aboriginal language, but the overall environment does not allow us to retain our language."
More than a thousand people participated in the festival, which ended on Sunday, remembering their ancestors' spirits and calling for unity among the different settlements.
Ethnic Chinese make up 98 percent of Taiwan's 23 million population. Like other indigenous tribes, the Amis, the people most integrated into the dominant Han Chinese culture, struggle to retain their identity.
"I want my children to know that we are Amis, know the culture of their elders. I want my children to not forget their roots. But with there is very little chance for that," said Feng Chin-tsai, 45, who works in the construction industry.
Feng said Amis culture values bravery, independence and respect for nature, but added that modern social and economic conditions made it difficult for children to pick up some of these values. Continued...

Set against the backdrop of China's Cultural Revolution, a secret military project sends signals into space to establish contact with aliens. An alien civilisation on the brink of destruction captures the signal and plans to invade Earth.
Meanwhile, on Earth, different camps start forming, planning to either welcome the superior beings and help them or to fight against the invasion.
©2006 Cixin Liu (P)2015 W F Howes Ltd
"A milestone in Chinese science fiction." (New York Times)
"The best kind of science fiction." (Kim Stanley Robinson)
An unusual and wonderful book. Full of intriguing ideas. Beautiful writing. Was sad when the book ended.
"Good story, wooden delivery"
Whilst the story was a refreshing break from the my usual diet of space opera series', I struggled to get to the end of this as the reader made everything feel really quite dry and at some points even seemingly started reading in. a. robot. voice. even. though. it. was. a. real. person.
That said, I still recommend it to anyone looking for a thought provoking modern day sci fi yarn, and it's especially nice to see a story not based on the USA or Europe.
"New Perspectives"
I loved this, genuinely. It's an entirely new perspective on a usually quite Western dominated genre. What an excellent idea!
"Solid science, patchy pace"
really enjoyed this and will go on to read sequels. ending is sort of sudden but that didn't lessen my enjoyment.
"A dense, detailed but really rewarding listen"
If you enjoy science fiction that leans heavily on the science, are interested in the laws that govern reality, or simply have a curious mind, then The Three-Body Problem is for you.
Bruno Roubicek's enunciation is really wonderful, and his performance is so subtle - because you barely even notice he's performing. The story is gripping, even as it takes you through some scientific explanations that will probably go over most people's heads (as they did mine), and the characters are vivid and realistic.
The first audiobook that's really had me addicted.
"Good but not fast paced enough"
I confess that I became bored with it and tried to fast forward it on numerous occasions. There is a good and original story in there but just so slow. I read comments like this when selecting the audio book but thought I would be ok. Great narrator though.
"loved the fresh writing style"
a little slower to start than I expected but I warmed to the style: unashamedly for people with an IQ over 120. Can't wait for more!
"Huge disappointment"
A bit of imagination.
It would have been better if there was more thought put into what an advanced alien civilisation would be like. At the moment it's like something out of a cheesy 1950s budget science fiction movie, if that.
I enjoyed the start, when the superficiality of the aliens wasn't made known and your imagination could run wild trying to picture what exactly was going on.
Unfortunately this doesn't last.
The more I listened to this audiobook the more I wished I hadn't bought it.
It just goes downhill quickly and I don't recommend anyone buy it.
A huge disappointment. I expected more for a "Chinese" "best-seller."
It's like a simpler form of the movie Contact, except the story drags on and on about mundane miseries of life during the Cultural Revolution in China during the 1960s to "set the tempo" for the protagonist's actions.
It is just so ridiculous. Listening to the short section of the alien race I wanted to fast forward. There is so little imagination or even difference with them.
They're somewhat ahead of us in technology and live in a horrid 'unpredictable' environment and yet they haven't bothered to send probes out to the neighbouring star-systems to scout out a more stable home. -- Even though they can send 'probes' to Earth!
They can go into extended hibernation which would make space-travel easier.. but even though they can send some mystical force to 'interfere' with entire planets.. they couldn't do some spectrographic analyses of the planets orbiting the neighbouring stars to find habitable planets. (rolls eyes)
And so the fantastic "human race" will not only achieve technological equilibrium by the time their fleet arrives here.. (flying at 10% the speed of light at full speed) but we will have surpassed their technology! Okay.
Listening to the 'aliens' whine about their lives was just boring and depressing. What's sad is that their culture seems to just be a dig against all-too-human authoritarian systems.
And to find out what happens later you need buy the trilogy.. which hints at 'hyperdimensional beings' who perform 'sabotage' 'sic on human 'science' to slow down our development.. while the biological aliens crawl over at 10% the speed of light on their 'big ships.'
What I don't understand Cixin, is that the Universe is teeming with life. You refer to the speed of our technological development.. so why did you make the 'aliens' biological? We've had computers readily available for about 50 years and we're already looking to digitize consciousness. The Universe is over 13,400 million years older than human civilisation..
And all you can come up with is a bunch of whining, defeatist drones who can't do some basic astronomy to find another home.. even though they have the technology to do so?!?
I'm just glad I did not buy the other books and I do not recommend this audiobook.
I'm sure that even though we're not aware of the civilisations nearby.. that they are very aware of us. However I like this idea of initiating contact.. just not with a bunch of whining muppets..
How about we contact a civilisation of a more ancient variety. One which polices the Universe to protect it from marauding savages such as human-beings.
I recommend The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: The Primary Phase (Dramatised)
At least you'll grin and laugh while listening to it. :D
"Seems more like a draft than a finished story"
The story has some highlights, but overall it's a bit lack luster. It's spread out over too many small stories, but not in a way that adds anything.
"Boring !"
This started well with an exploration of the politics in post war China then oh my did it drag on, and on and on.
The narrator was so bored he must be lying down.
"Strange & wonderful"
Keeps you guessing and doesn't disappoint. It's like Ender's Game meets The Mote in God's Eye in a Murakami novel. Hard sci fi, but not pedantically so, with beautiful prose.
This book has a wealth of great ideas, and it manages to combine great scientific ideas with interesting cultural and social ideas as well. Particularly, the Chinese Cultural Revolution plays a significant role in the story, which has a great impact on one of the main characters. As a westerner (from northern Europe), the Cultural Revolution is not an even I know much about, but seeing it presented from a Chinese viewpoint (albeit with great hindsight) was very interesting.
The scientific ideas are also fantastic. They are complicated (for a novel), and one of them takes several chapters to introduce, but you won't even realise you're being introduced to it. It's absolutely brilliant.
The narration is wonderful in my opinion. Roubicek is quite mellow and perhaps even delivers a tint of depression in the tone, but it suits the book. The book has a eerie sense of mystery and despair, and Roubicek's narration enhances this atmosphere.
I'll mention the only downside I noticed: One of the main characters is a bit flat and uninteresting. I'm not sure if this is intended to increase immersion (it's easier to fill and empty pair of pants, so to speak). He is interesting for what happens to him, but many of the supporting characters are more complex and interesting.
"chinese sci-fi"
particularly liked that it was chinese. makes me want to investigate and read chinese contemporary literature. most interesting character reveals himself late in story...
"Great story"
Great narration. The story mixes real world physics and science fiction in a very pleasant and captivating way. Awesome book!
"Great and imaginative!"
Hard science fiction at it's best.
Only downside is that, as a westerner, it's hard to distinguish all the Chinese names.

What is an immersive soundscape? It can be as simple as a recording made in a forest: leaves crunching underfoot, birds chirping, a squirrel chattering. Or it can be as complex as a movie soundtrack, which involves music but also uses many other sounds—to set the mood for the action and to literally put the viewer in the picture. Sound art defies categorization, and artists using this medium describe their work in many different ways: as sound installations, audio art, radio art, and music.
The Art of Immersive Soundscapes provides a fascinating tour of contemporary sound art practices that comprises scholarly essays, artists' statements, and a DVD with sonic and visual examples. Included are perspectives from soundscape composition and performance, site-specific sound installation, recording, and festival curation. The book and accompanying DVD will appeal to a broad audience interested in music, sound, installation art, the environment, digital culture, and media arts. Importantly, it recognizes the pioneering place of Canadian sound artists within this international field.

U.K. Bank Inspectors of 1783 Found Some Familiar FlawsAnne L. Murphy
Sept. 13 (Bloomberg) -- The recent public outcry over the behavior of the banking industry has led the U.K. government to create a Parliamentary Commission on Banking Standards to investigate the culture of the industry and report on lessons to be learned.
While they await submissions of evidence, the commission members might contemplate the outcome of an 18th-century inquiry with similar aims. Its object was the Bank of England.
In a country reeling from the loss of the American colonies, anxiety was rising over management of the state's finances and growing indebtedness. Much like today, the public was intensely angry at supposed corruption among public officials, financiers and the directors of large joint-stock companies. In response, Parliament established a commission to inspect the public accounts. Around the same time, the state also started interfering in the affairs of the East India Company.
It was only a matter of time before the Bank of England, which was still privately owned, came under such scrutiny. So the bank decided to set its house in order before Parliament came knocking. From 1783 to 1784, an appointed Committee of Inspection toured the bank, observing workplace practices and interviewing staff. Their findings were recorded in two ledgers still preserved in the bank's archives.
Modern readers would find much that sounds familiar.
Incompetence, Drunkenness
Those 18th-century bankers worked long hours, were paid well and could earn bonuses. They engaged in office politics, back biting and sniping at colleagues. There were accusations of incompetence and drunkenness at work. The inspectors noted that some men were rude to customers or were too concerned with securing gratuities. Others, it appeared, were just "not very sharp" or were rather "old and worn out."
Security was clearly a problem, too, with gates left open, drawers left unlocked and ledgers left out on desks all night. Safes and treasure chests were found to be insecure or locked with keys that were then tossed in an open drawer. The committee must have also raised eyebrows when it noted that brokers and stockjobbers at the bank felt free to look through ledgers detailing customers' accounts.
Worse, the inspectors found that the bank's clerks who did business at the Exchequer each day walked through the streets of London with more than 100,000 pounds in bank notes carried in a "small Tin Chest," and that the printing plates for the notes were carried through particularly dangerous streets each day to a printer in Hatton Garden.
At the root of many of the worst problems that they found were two of the same failings that so exercise us today: incompetence and greed. With regard to the first, the committee observed that senior men had taken their eyes off the ball. They failed to exercise proper managerial control, didn't demand sufficient respect from their staff and left the bank early each day, entrusting the most junior clerks with the task of securing the institution. The inspectors argued that the senior men should take "a more direct & acknowledged control" so they could "be held accountable for the conduct of those immediately under them."
Powerful Temptations
Equally worrisome was that many of the clerks who managed the transfers of bank shares and government securities were supplementing their wages by acting as brokers and jobbers. At the time, the main secondary market in securities was housed within the bank, making it simple for the clerks to take advantage of a captive clientele by offering their own brokerage services. Some clerks were even found to be in league with professional brokers and acting to ensure their customers got the best deals and were first in line when it came to registering transactions.
The inspectors were "decidedly of opinion that the practice ... is not only inconvenient & pernicious in itself, but that it may eventually lead to even fatal consequences by the powerful temptations it holds out to Men."
Although the inspectors found much to complain of, they admired the efficiency and attention to public service shown by an organization that managed thousands of transactions a day with what appears to be a high degree of accuracy -- and did so with little banking technology beyond double-entry accounting, quill pens and balance scales. We are introduced to many men who, like the chief accountant, John Payne, thought that it was "undoubtedly his duty to do the business of the Publick with the Bank."
The report also expresses absolute confidence in the value of the bank's work. Hence the inspectors concluded their proceedings by contemplating "the immense importance of the Bank of England not only to the City of London, in points highly essential to the promotion & extension of its Commerce, but to the Nation at large, as the grand Palladium of Public Credit." They asserted that they were "thoroughly persuaded that an Object so great in itself & so interesting to all Ranks of the Community, must necessarily excite care & solicitude in every breast."
One wonders whether the bankers who will appear before the 2012 Parliamentary Commission on Banking Standards could still make such an assertion with a good conscience.

Tina and Andrew were married in a ceremony at St. Joseph's Catholic Church followed by a reception at St. Petersburg Shuffleboard Club in St. Petersburg, Fla. on October 5. The bride wore a strapless satin a-line wedding gown, accessorized with her hair in an updo, floor-length veil, pearl necklace, and a pair of comfy flats, while the groom wore a dark gray suit, accessorized with a tie. Bridesmaids wore short striped coral dresses and carried bouquets of roses, ranunculuses, craspedia, poppies, silver brunia balls, and pincushion proteas. "I remember first meeting with Tina and her mom about her big day, and the one thing that Tina stressed was FUN," Rana Mohammadian of Roohi Photography said. "She didn't really want to fuss about the details (But I would have never guessed. Aren't the details adorable?) or worry about a certain design. She just wanted it to be a fun, fabulous day for everyone. And that it was!" Once the exchanging of vows were sealed with a kiss, it was official. Transportation was provided to and from in a trolley. "From the photo booth from Photogenica to the live Mariachi band to the Brazilian style meat station (yummy), everything about this wedding screamed UNIQUE," she said. Guests were escorted to their seats via a yarn art chart. Tables were decorated with teal linens, white napkins, testing tube centerpieces, disc numbers, and mad libs at each place setting, surrounded by folding padded chairs. For extra entertainment, there was board games too. "In case Tina looks familiar, it's because I had the honor of shooting her sister Sam's wedding earlier this year," Mohammadian said. "I've been so fortunate to building an amazing relationship with this family, so being a part of another celebration was a joy!" A two-tiered fondant-frosted cake was cut and served for dessert concluding dinner. The favors? Personalized koozies. At the end of the night, the newlyweds exited amongst a sea of sparklers and jetted off to their honeymoon.

Squash and Tomato Galette
Recipe by Kim127
Found this in a magazine and it sounded too good not to save.
Top Review by Jackie 6
Now this was a challenge. Turned out my pie crust was dried out so had to do a quick head to the grocery. Then working with pastry is not my forte, however I muddled through & boy was it worth it. This was great. May not look beautiful, but I will get better, and the taste was delicious. Not a lot of work if you have a decent pie crust in the frig. I served this with recipe#373153 for a very delicious meal. Thanks Kim127, for a great side dish. Made for ZWT5.

South Korea trade deal draws fire from Canadian auto sector
* Ford of Canada, Unifor union say deal has drawbacks
* S. Korea has little appetite for Canadian vehicles
* Canada needs more trade pacts to compete, analysts say
* Auto sector employed 117,200 in Canada last year
By Susan Taylor
TORONTO, March 11 (Reuters) - A new free trade agreement with South Korea will throw a wrench into Canada's auto sector recovery, union leaders and an automaker warned on Tuesday, highlighting the pressure on an industry already struggling with competition from Mexico.
The pact, which immediately drew fire from Ford Motor Co of Canada Ltd and Canada's largest private-sector union, underscores problems with the size and cost of cars being produced in the country's industrial heartland, experts said.
"We don't, in Canada, build the type of vehicles that are much in demand in South Korea," said Tony Faria, a University of Windsor professor and auto industry expert. "It's not as if any trade deal we set up with South Korea is necessarily going to result in more vehicles being exported."
Canada and South Korea said earlier on Tuesday they had wrapped up talks on a long-delayed free trade deal, Canada's first in fast-growing Asia. Canada's Conservative government touted the benefits of the deal, which is expected to boost farm product exports. Continuación...

NH Collection Amsterdam Grand Hotel Krasnapolsky
Dam 9, Amsterdam, North Holland
0.3 km from
Rp 3,640,000+
The location is very central making it easy to get anywhere. breakfast is in a gorgeous winter garden-type room and the selection is very diverse. Staff were always helpful and accomodating. I was on the first floor and there didn't seem to be a staircase that I could take to go one flight of stairs. It was annoying always having to wait for the elevator (which was insanely crowded) for such a tiny distance. Also, no gym which I expect in a hotel of this size and class.
Very relaxed friendly atmosphere
NH is the ground zero for Amsterdam
The location was the best thing. The rooms were small, inefficient handling of processes and nothing that made me feel it to be a "grand 5* hotel". They should take a lesson from Germans in Efficiency... or another grand hotel in their neighborhood.
We have stayed at this hotel twice now and it is in an excellent central location. The hotel reception is beautiful and the rooms are also in keeping with this. Our recent room was very clean, comfortable big bed and with all the amenities that you would expect. Prior to this we have stayed in one of the suites which are excellent but of course pricey. The general rooms are a good price - not the cheapest but you do get what you pay for. We didnt book the breakfast as this made the room price too expensive.
The location Furnishing of the rooms
Top Location, Friendly Staff Rooms, even booked early and got a cheap price, do not match at all a 5 star hotel. The room rate compensated a bit for it, but definitely disappointed by a hotel which has such a famous name.
Check in/ out not very efficient
Calmness Had to pay EUR 100 for 4 days of broadband connection. Should be free inside the hotel.
Location Scruffy corridors and dark bedrooms
Nothing exceptional springs to mind Badly stocked mini bar. No 24 hour restaurant/coffee shop
easy to access all areas of amsterdam ( very central location) No, everything was great, i enjoyed my stay and will book thier again when i return to Asterdam.
The only concern, was the checking in it seem too long and you did have 3 staff on. However th ques for checking in was getting longer as the staff seem to take telephone calls when attending to people checking in.
2nd stay, had a bathtub this time ++ Central location. Clean. Cheap. We couldn't have a smoking room, even though we indicated a preference for one. The rooms all seemed to have been renovated with hard flooring which made adjacent rooms a lot more noisy.
Location, freindliness of staff
Very central location, a few minute walk from Dam square. We had a superior double room, which was spacious and very nicely finished. The bathroom was also very nice. For breakfast, there is a wide range available - cooked, pastries, breads, fruits and yoghurts etc etc.... Room was located on the ground floor which meant it was a little noisey - but you can't have a central location and no noise!
Location, price, excellent staff and wonderful building... This was the third time I have stayed at this hotel, and on both previous occasions I was allocated a much larger room than this time around... This time, the room we were given felt a little cramped, especially the bathroom. Also, the room contained only one mirror, inside one of the wardrobe doors, and there was only one bedside table. I will definately use the hotel again in the future for its excellent location, condition and helpful staff, but my fondness for the hotel has been slightly reduced because of the size of our room.
Outstanding location. Excellent staff. We would use it again and plan to have FREIND's stay there in August
Great staff knowledgeable about area and willing to answer questions and provide direction. Rooms are clean.
Hotel staffs were professional and polite. Free Wifi is a bonus! It will be nice if breakfast is included.
Good colours, style of reception and breakfastroon was pleasant, fireplace at receiption were really nice. No fitness room at the hotel. Wholefloor carpet is not same style than other things. Corridors ugly.
Excellent location, 3 minute walk from Amsterdam Centraal
Lovely comfortable room, nice decor, loved the dimming lamps. We had to queue to check in, and after our long journey to get there, we were tired and wanted to go up to our room as quick as possible.
location, nice hotel
The location and the quality, cleaness of the hotel
Excellent all round! Will definitely stay here on future trips to Amsterdam. No iron or bathrobes!
Location Being overcharged/ They cached my deposit and failed to return it! (50 Euros)
WiFi did not work in my room (signal too weak) but worked well in lobby
The staff are excellent I do Think Ther price is high
Location, interior design, breakfast, coffee/cakes, most staff Poor window, let in a lot of street noise, with what we paid for 2 nights (c.€380) they could buy a double glazed window (about 4 ft by 3 ft) which would be a big benefit for future users of the room. While most staff were friendly, the receptionist we mostly dealt with was businesslike/efficient rather than friendly. (my wife might use different words!)
The beautiful classic design interiors. The room as well.
Loved the hotel and the staff were incredible. Will always stay there in the future. Room are small but beautiful. Rooms facing the canal had very little storage space.
Good location. Not very modern. Adds 10 years to your life. People 50+ loves it I guess...
Everything was excellent. Beautiful old world charm, large spacious room, staff was outstanding in every way with help on questions, places to eat and see and making reservations. No
Cosy, friendly staff. No problems no free wifi
The rooms were very nice and clean. The breakfast was excellent. The staff was very kind. My brother lives in Paris and is recommending the Hotel Estherea to any of his friends/associates who are planning to visit Amsterdam. The bar wasn't open until the evening. I would have liked to have a cocktail after I checked in...but there were plenty of places around there to have one - so it was not a big deal.
Location, Lounge, Coffee and goodies at reception Beds hard
Well situated hotel with friendly and helpful staff. Reasonably comfortable bedroom, although small. Nice clean and well appointed bathroom. Hotel bedroom was rather small and paintwork on windows peeling.
Great view overlooking the Singel Canal Friendly atmosphere Brilliant location
The service was great, if I can afford to, Ill stay there again.
Beautiful and comfortable hotel , Great helpful staff everything was great
While walking in the streets on a cold, windy, snowy, rainy day, the thought of going back to the hotel was pure happyness, as the hotel is so warm and cozy, It starts at the reception, continues in the corridors. Even the pool is warmer than all the pools in other hotels, I used it in the morning before breakfast and before going to bed at night. The extensive opening hours of the pool are a big advantage. The breakfast is the best I travel a lot, stay in nice hotels, none of them compares to this one...best juices, best fresh fruit, best bacon and eggs, best waffles. I loved the hotel tour, especially the wedding chapel and the other room with all the wood sculptures. I also liked the library with the fireplace. Everybody was extremely f I would have preferred a smaller and softer pillow
Hotel helps for every question asked and answers all in the perfect way. No dislikes.
Great location, helpfull staff, nice interior, cleanliness, convinient bed, complimentary water and sweets every everning, channel and garden view, etc. - everything! To escape any delay connected with checking out the next morning, I was proposed to settle the formalities in the last everning.
disturbance during stay in room
I hated to leave. Staff and facilities were outstanding. Room was beautiful and luxurious.
Cleanliness, wonderful architecture and interior design, polite and proficient and friendly staff Nothing. It was perfect
Absolutely first class service. Could not do enough for you. Extremely comfortable bed! -
The excellent staff and our gorgeous apartment to which we were upgraded Would not include breakfast again; though lovely and convenient it was very pricey given the area. Otherwise a perfect stay!
Hotel staff was more then nice and helpful For a "Junior suit" (as booked and paid), the room was too small
Location and late breakfast No tea/cofee facilities in room
Central Location.
breakfast and location no air conditioning also step to bathroom
excellent location, staff, breakfast, great rooms no
i found it very nice andthe staff were very helpful also the breakfast was lovely
The check-in staff (those specific two) they were great fun and welcoming and the cat. The hot (cold!!!) water in the morning and the explanations received at reception (i.e. a once off incident) not true. Every morning same issue all week-end. The lift- you can age 20 years waiting for it.
The staff was very cooperative The room was very small
Location!!! Great breakfast with a selection of delicious food!. THe staff was also very helpful. The beds are little to narrow and too soft for me. The water in the shower never became hot, just warm.
I like the location, the services and the cleanliness of my room. The room was reely small.
location, staff customer service I had to go home early!
friendly staff & excellent buffet breakfast no room service
helpfull staff
Atmosphere No curtain in the shower
Lady at reception was very kind give us information about where to go. They also keep our luggage after chekout for a few hours. You fill yourself safe there.
The free use of PC and Internet access in the Swiss Office was great
Good location close to an event we were attending Television service limited and very poor reception. Shower was a bit low and cramped.
Location was fantastic, very close to main shopping areas. Also, lots of pubs and restaurants nereby and within walking distance of everything.
Nice location The room was reported as superior with queen size bed, though in fact the room was 6 sq.m. with a tiny bed.
The location is great. It's near to the train station and to the dam. I needed to laundry a pants and, despite of the price (expensive), it was very good. There was a nespresso machine in the room. There wasn't a breakfast. The room is small, but it was ok for two people.
This was a fantastic place to stay. I would recommend it highly. Convienently located near the train station and cruise boat landings.
friendly staff nothing
The hospitality of the staff the entrance of the hotel. you need to walk a distance to enter the hotel on the main street
The location was excellent and the room tidy and clean. Sometimes the room was rather hot and we could not open the windows. The bed felt like it was tilting slightly to the ground??
staff and service nothing
Nice hotel. Very well located. The cost for Inet is too high, as well as the cost of the breakfast. But it's a free choice!
Clean, quiet room the fitness room is extremely basic (2 slightly outdated machines)
nice staff very polite
very good location
Very good location, just off Dam Square.
Great location and good value
The location was excellent and the superior room was of a very high standard. I had to pay the "Amsterdam City Tax" when I checked out, when I booked the hotel the documents said it was included in the price.
Just about everything
Cannot say enough about how great our stay was here! We extended our stay by a day we loved it so much. The prices were very reasonable. They checked us in 2 hrs early with zero hassle. All of the room supplies were included. While not exceedingly spacious, everything about the room and hotel oozed modern style. There was interesting literature on the shelves. The beds were clean and comfortable. In the lobby was a hip restaurant with delicious and affordable faire which we frequented almost every day, and at night became a popular bar until 1 am. There were many other places to eat, shop, or stroll past from the Hoxton's central location, but it was far enough removed from the main tourist areas to feel somewhat local. I would recommend this place to anyone except maybe those traveling with children, as I believe they had to "cheat" to fit us into a single room, and we are smaller than your average humans as it was.
My single room was tiny. It was impossible to see the television from the bed. In the evening, the lobby turned into a very crowded and noisy nightlife venue. Because of the crowd, it was difficult to get in and out of the hotel. Would never stay here again.
Great atmosphere Small bed
The staff was the best. Helpful in all instances. Great location.
Location: near Dam Square, but not close enough to hear noise. Friendly staff. Single room was a little small, but manageable.
Staff is friendly and professional Hotel location is superb! Matress of the bed was old and needs replacement Hotel can be cleaner for a 4 stars
Obviously, one of the best locations in the city since it's ridiculously close to Dam sq After reading quite a lot of reviews talking about the size of the room we got to the hotel a little worried. Well, either PVC has different room sizes or some of those critics are completely exaggerating. the room we got might not have been luxurious, but it was far from tiny. Quite perfect for people who want their hotel to be close, convenient, nice and cosy. The staff, btw, we're extremely helpful and always smiley. FREE WIFI!!! Cleaning rooms is being done partially and irregularly The bathroom had one kind of liquid soap for everything(hands, body, shampoo) also, there was very little of it. Our reservation did not incl. breakfast which also increased expanses.
good location in the city center overprice for such small room, stinky room small bathroom front desk ask us for 50 euros deposit at the check in with poor explanation why they take security deposit this hotel shouldn't be call 4 stars is deserve maximum 2 stars elevator such slow and small that barley feet ours luggage and us. we do travel a lot in Europe and south America and we never had such bad "stay"
clean hotel WIFI is absolutely HORRIBLE. you would pretty much get no wifi in the room. you have to go to the lobby to get SLOW wifi.
We loved the location. It was excellent. Close to Dam Square and to the railway central station. We could walk everywhere. The reception staff was nice The room was very very small. No closet for our clothes. Just a tiny narrow and short place to hang a few shirts. No place in the bathroom even for putting a towel while showering. The WiFi didn't work for 95% of the time.
The staff was friendly everyday, helping to make reservations and directions. We had move rooms after 1 night and they were accommodating. The worst thing about this hotel is that you can hear even the slightest noise from the rooms up above you. I got woken up almost every night by people coming home from the bars at 1 or 2am. I thought it was just loud drunk people but after changing rooms we could the people above us again.
location smaller rooms. beds wasn't comfort. tel in the room didn't work and I didn't even got suggestion what to do
very friendly staff.
Great location. Friendly staff. Clean.
I had a lovely stay with very helpful staff in a cosy atmosphere. I recommend sipping a cocktail by the fireplace! Nothing I can think of.
Everything...! Staff is charming, the room #405 (bridal suite) is marvelous even located in the annex and the main building for breakfest is suberb...
warm and friendly welcome. Smaller room but cleen and beautiful. Nice breakfest and Special interior design. Room a bit small
Friendly and helpful staff, excellent location of hotel, rooms were clean and comfortable. The coffee machine was brilliant. Would have prefered to have a room with a canal view and located in the main part of hotel not the annexe
Stayed for 4 nights and felt it was our "home" . The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable of the restaurants and sites we were interested in.
Good value for the price and location in the center of town. Very nice staff and reasonably priced breakfast!
Staff, Bed, Pillows:) Internet Access
We liked a lot the way the hotel is decorated a lot, it's old classic style. Apart from that, the service was very good, personnel is nice and friendly. That the heating was switched off while room cleaning and you had to come back to the cold room.
very comfortable and quiet hotel room not very big. Considering the price, breakfast should be included.
The Staff were amazing and the bed was the most comfortable I have ever slept in.
The staff was very accomodating. The rooms were clean, and even though our room was on the busy street, the windows were sufficient to keep out most of the traffic noise.
Lovely hotel, perfect location. The showers in room are glass, with limited frosting. So if you are with your couple then great, or close friends, but if you are sharing with someone you are not so comfortable with these rooms maybe a little "revealing" and slightly uncomfortable. Personally I didnt mind,
Nothing Thought the hotel was grim - view from window a corrugated iron sheet. Room dark and unwelcoming. Bathroom very small with sink outside the bathroom. Lift was dirty and smelled like a toilet.
staff cleanliness, old bathroom, dirty old carpets all over the hotel
The security use of key cards for all access including lifts.Felt safe.
very convenient location, clean, secure no problems
it was close to everything in central amsterdam which is a bonus less walking breakfast could of been of a wider range to suite more traveling people
Location, design and decor of the rooms I enjoyed everything and can not fault anything
I liked the newly renovated Star Rooms. I also liked the location of the hotel. There were many aspects I didn't like: - in room 601 (I stayed there between October 5-October 10, the heating was not working. I asked the reception staff to fix it, and they said the automatic heating system has some problems and there' nothing they can do about it. - I had another reservation for October 11-13. I annouced reception at check-out on Oct 10 that I will be late (around midnight) on October 11. When I arrived on October 11, they gave me a smoking room, which was impossible to breathe in. I asked for a non-smoking room and I've been told that there are no more rooms left, because I arrived very late. I found this offensive, as I announced the hotel two days before that I will be late, not to mention that I also left my luggage in the cloakroom. - after long talks, however, I was given a non-smoking room, with twin beds. It is the worst room I've ever been into, 301, it's like a coffin. Take my advise and don't offer it to other clients ever again. Also, this room was cold, as the heater was barely defrost (after turning it to maximum).
This hotel was in a great location and had very friendly staff. The room set up was a little strange. The bathroom was all glass and lacked privacy. The bed was also placed strangely with the foot of the bed against the wall. This was a very clean hotel, and one of the most comfortable beds I have ever slept in.
