Citation: N/A Interpretive Summary: Starch synthesis is a fundamental process in plant biology and is of particular concern to the agricultural community as it is the primary component in all the major food and feed crops such as potato, corn, wheat, rice, and barley. Because of the importance of starch we are interested in how starch synthesis is controlled, particularly in those parts of the plant which are harvested for food, feed or industrial uses. In this stud we have shown that the gene for a portion or subunit of a key enzyme in potato starch synthesis has a complex structure and that it exists in only one copy in the potato genome. This one gene is expressed in both leaf and tuber tissues unlike other plants such as corn and wheat which have tissue specific forms of this enzyme. This study has determined that the amount of this enzyme present in leaf and potato tubers is controlled differently in these two very different parts of the potato plant which in turn determines how much starch is being produced. These results have defined key point in how starch synthesis is controlled particularly in the potato tuber. This information has shown us and other scientists what to change in order to alter the amount of starch being produced. Changing the amount of starch has the potential for increasing yield and altering feed, food and industrial use characteristics in potato and other cereal crops to make better or different products.
Technical Abstract: ADPglucose pyrophosphorylase (AGP) catalyzes the key regulatory step in starch synthesis. To elucidate the molecular basis for the expression of the potato AGP during tuber development, the structure of the small subunit AGP (sACP) gene and its pattern of expression were examined. DNA sequence analysis revealed that the sAGP gene is over 5.5 kilobases long and has a complex structure including eight introns. Unlike the situation in other plants where tissue-specific sAGP are found, our Southern and Northern blot analysis indicated that the same sAGP gene is expressed in both tubers (non-photosynthetic tissue) and leaves (photosynthetic tissue). These data were supported by comparing sequences of isolated sAGP leaf cDNAs to the tuber cDNA sequence, by primer extension analysis of leaf and tuber poly(A)+RNAs, and by the spatial expression patterns of a B-glucuronidase reporter gene driven by the potato sAGP promoter in transgenic potato plants. Although the sAGP gene appears to be transcriptionally controlled in both developing tubers and in leaves, the relative level of leaf antigen was significantly lower than its level of transcript, indicating that sAGP expression in leaves is primarily regulated post-transcriptionally. The observed tissue type-dependent regulation of sAGP expression appears to control the extent of starch biosynthesis by regulating the levels of this enzyme and, thus, alleviate the need for tissue-specific forms of the sAGP in potato.

Right-Wing Media Can't Get Their "Bain" Straight On New OMB Director
The Washington Examiner blog Beltway Confidential put up a post [1] yesterday reporting that President Obama's acting director of the Office of Management and Budget, Jeffrey Zients, worked at Bain & Company in the late 1980s. The Examiner suggested that this could "undercut attacks on Republican Mitt Romney's career as a venture capitalist, because Zients and Romney are both alumni of Bain & Company."
This is a distortion. The criticism of Romney has focused on his work at Bain Capital, not his time at Bain & Company.
To be clear: Bain & Company is an entirely separate entity from Bain Capital. Bain & Company is a business consulting firm [2] that was founded in 1973 [3]. Bain Capital is a private investment firm [4] that was founded in 1984 [3].
Bain & Company's website states [3]:
Bain Capital was formed as a separate entity by former Bain consultants to further leverage Bain's results creation capability. Bain Capital is a venture capital company; it is not a sister company nor a division of Bain.
Romney's fellow Republican presidential candidates have been critical of his work at Bain Capital -- not at Bain & Company. From a blog post [5] by ABC's George Stephanopoulos:
Texas governor and Republican presidential candidate Rick Perry calls his rival Mitt Romney's work at Bain Capital a potentially "fatal flaw" which could imperil Republican chances to win back the White House in November.
Perry, who is trailing badly in the polls, spent the week attacking Romney as a "vulture capitalist," whose work at Bain allowed him to reap huge profits by dismantling companies and laying off workers.
Others in the right-wing media are blurring the distinction between the two Bain entities.
The Drudge Report linked to the Beltway Confidential post with the headline [6] "OBAMA PICKS BAIN MAN FOR OMB...":
Meanwhile, The Blaze took [7] the Examiner's bait and used the headline "No Bainer: Obama's New Budget Chief Worked for Bain Capital, Too":
The Blaze also misidentified the source of its information as The Washington Times, rather than The Washington Examiner:
But what some might be interested to know is that Zients actually worked at the much-maligned company Bain Capital -- the same company Mitt Romney once ran, and which has been the topic of several attacks by both Republicans and Democrats. The Washington Times has more [1]:
Romney worked at Bain & Company, first from 1977-1984 [8], and then again from 1991 and 1992, when he was the Bain & Company chief executive officer.
UPDATE: The Blaze has changed its headline and the text of its post [7] to say that Zients worked at Bain & Company, not Bain Capital. The headline now reads "No Bainer: Obama's New Budget Chief Worked for a Bain Company, Too."
The Blaze said a former employee of Bain & Company emailed them to request that they make the distinction clear.

"Please don't go!" Screams six year old Dina, completely wrapped around Tess Harmony's left leg. her little fingernails scrape against pale skin, causing Tess to wince slightly. Micah stands with his arms crossed by Ariel's crib, not amused at all by the situation. He's also not helping, so Tess is left trying to pry the little blonde angel off of her leg. After a few minutes of struggle she manages to dislodge the child, kneeling down to look her in the eyes.
"I won't be gone forever Dina," She promises with a smile, cupping her younger sisters cheek.
Dina sniffles but nods, launching herself at Tess with more force than what a six year old should exert. After Tess pulls away she walks on unsteady feet to Ariel's crib, peering in at the brunette baby. She's fast asleep, not at all bothered by the commotion. she brushes a bit of her hair back, leaning in to kiss her cheek. Lastly she hugs Micah, making sure he knows all the emergancy numbers he will need. She honestly doesn't want to leave them, especially not so soon after their mother died. But this is the best opportunity she's been given in a long time. She pats Dina on the head as she heads for the door.
"Be good for Micah," She says as an afterthought, disappearing out the door and quickly hopping in her silver Altima. Before anymore distractions can be had she peels out off the driveway, heading quickly for the building she'll be living at and working at. The second it comes into view she gapes - its huge! She finds the parking lot with the assistance of a man working outside the building, finding an easy space to park her car. She grabs up her two bags filled with clothes and hygiene products. They arnt too heavy but she makes haste to get to the door and use her bracelet to get in. She has as other worker show her to her room. Its spacious, fitted with nearly all her stuff already; She sent it early so she wouldn't procrastinate in moving in.
A large vanity table sits against one wall, her bed in the rooms center, two nightstands on either side. The walls are lavender, like she had requested and the borders a deeper purple color to match her comforter and pillow set. Her desk sits against the wall by the door, her computer already there but not yet hooked up. She puts away her clothes quickly, changing from her sweaty street clothes to a better pair of loose fitting jeans and a white shirt that flairs out at the sleeves. She straightens our her messy hair before leaving the room.
Once in the elevator she spots a sign that says for her to go to the conference room. Since she has nothing better to do she does just that, noticing a girl with black and blue hair saying something sarcastic about another person. Tess frowns, and she can't stop the words from flowing out.
"Sarcasm isn't very nice you know, we have to work with her. She could be a really nice individual." She says to the woman as she follows her into the meeting room.

I'm a student too so I know what you're talking about.
The thing is, we really need to plan out our week. We already have a rough idea of how our week will look like.
I know its not always the best thing, but frozen vegetables really aren't that bad, especially if you don't have time to run in the store every couple of days.
I always have an organic pasta sauce ready for those quick meals.
Whenever I make a salad dressing I make A LOT. I prefer honey in salad dressings because honey is antibacterial and I keep it in the fridge for a couple of days.
Low carb?I respect your choice but personally I can't do that. My body absolutely needs carbs, especially in school. If I don't get enough of them I'll eat anything that's not up on tress at the count of three.
Our body sends us hunger signals when it need carbs actually, which is why we usually eat sweets or bad carbs when we crave food.
When your body got everything it needed in a meal it usually doesn't react to the dessert your friends eating.
Hope it helped a lil bit

Can I replace just the tank on a toilet?
The toilet was new in 2007. It's made by Kohler.
The problem with it is that the tank sweats a lot. Except I don't think it does it in the summer months.
I read that the kits available for inside the tank to help this problem aren't very effective.
Can I buy the kind of tank that already has the foam formed to the inside? Or do I need to replace both parts of the toilet?
Yes you can buy an insulated tank for your toilet, provided Kohler makes (or still makes) a tank that will fit your bowl. Take the model name to your local plumbing supply house and see if it is available. A question for you; is your fill valve running, allowing cold ground water to constantly keep your toilet cold? That may be the reason you have condensation.
Let us know how this all works out for you.
Thank you D'Brie.
I thought the tank was sweating 24 hours a day, but I was checking the floor underneath it this morning and noticed the tank wasn't sweating at all. It was dry. This was before anyone took a shower.
I took a shower with luke-warm water and ran the bathroom fan and after getting dressed I checked the tank again. It wasn't dripping wet like usual, but moisture was forming on it.
So I'm wondering if it's not a problem with the toilet, but maybe the humidity in the air after the shower is used? Maybe the fan isn't doing it's job? But it's pretty loud, so I know it's running.
How long do you leave the exhaust fan on in the bar area after you have finished with your shower? This is a problem most of the time, not running the exhaust fan long enough to remove the adequate amount of moisture in the air within the room. That is why I highly recommend using a timer on bath exhaust fans. Just turn it on when needed and let the timer turn it off some 10-20 minutes later depending on the size of the room.
Thanks Thurman. It's the kind that has a knob that has to be turned and it goes up to 30 minutes. I don't always turn it all the way to the 30 minute mark, but usually a little past the 20 minute mark.
I wonder if the fan isn't working the way it should. As they get older, do they draw less air out of the room?
When was the last time you removed the fan assembly from the box and cleaned the blades real good? This should be done, say annually, IMO. Most bath exhaust fan units will allow the fan/blade unit to be removed without removing the complete box to facilitate cleaning. Vacuum the inside of the box also at this time and as much into the ducting as possible. Clean blades will definitely move more air. Before you start removing anything, try the "tissue test". Place one sheet of toilet tissue up against the fan housing to see if it will stay there with the fan running. Then try to pull it off, if it's really easy, the blades probably are dirty. Of course it it will not stay--you do have a problem.
I take the plastic cover (grill?) down a couple times a year and wash it in the sink because it seems to collect dust. But I've never cleaned the blades up inside.
I just tried the tissue test and it does hold the tissue, but if I hold it about an inch away, it doesn't pull the tissue up.
I don't see any screws holding anything up there and can't see a way to remove the fan/blade unit. Is there a trick to it?
I used a toothbrush to get the dust off the motor and was able to reach it up inside a little bit to get most of the blades, but there are places that the toothbrush doesn't reach.

James B. Newton was not just a University of Texas at Austin professor of drama. An artist and art director in Hollywood, he designed sets and costumes for television and theatrical productions, including rock concerts. This stage design for Alice Cooper's 1986 Scare Tour is one of eleven set models in his Ransom Center archive. The mechanical arms in the box model can be manipulated with a series of strings connected to a pull ring; a tiny audience lining front stage provides scale to the contraption.

text: Connecticut Solar Power Can Save You Money Home Solar Financing While many Connecticut residents may be excited at the prospect of investing in solar panels for the home, since the average residential solar system costs between $15,000-$25,000 after rebates and incentives, this may represent too large of an upfront investment for most people. Not too worry…our CT solar installation partners recognize this have developed a number of solar financing options to help residents invest in solar power without having to come up with such a large up-front payment. Whether it is a great interest rate on a home equity loan, a solar lease, or a power purchase agreement, there are plenty of options for consumers to consider making solar in Connecticut a reality. So even if you do not think you can afford the cost of solar up front, make sure you still talk to CT solar companies who can educate you on all available solar financing options. Home Solar Benefits The benefits of home solar power are numerous, especially when it comes to saving money. Those that own solar power systems no longer pay utility companies thousands of dollars each year because a solar power system may be able to lower you electric bill by 50% or more. And now with current government rebates and incentives, solar power systems cost homeowners only about half as much. Many solar companies in CT also have fantastic financing programs that can require as little as $0 down with a monthly payment structure that will still be less than what you are paying for electricity without solar. In addition, by installing solar you may be able to not only increase your home value by $20,000-$40,000 but can also protect yourself from rising electricity costs over time. In a little as a minute, you can fill out the solar quote request above and begin receiving free estimates from qualified CT solar installers today! Why Solar-Connecticut.org Hiring the right solar energy installer is essential to a hassle-free, efficient home solar installation.

Mary Lou's Legacy: Founder of Greenville singles group changed lives
"If my parting has left a void / Then fill it with remembered joys. A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss / Oh yes, these things, I, too, will miss."
GREENVILLE — In November 1999, these words appeared on the memorial card at the funeral of Mary Lou Hornbrook. More than a decade later, they still ring true to those who knew her well.
The pebbles Mary Lou tossed into the waters of Greenville's social scene continue to create ripples all these years after her death.
A kindergarten teacher and single parent of five children, Mary Lou understood the crucial role simple human contact plays in our emotional well-being. She grasped, on a visceral level, the age-old maxim that no one is an island; no one should have to be.
In 1978, with the help of a small circle of friends and an accommodating minister, Mary Lou organized the first meeting of the Greenville Adult Singles group. Meeting at the United Methodist Church on Cass Street in Greenville, the group's mission statement was simple, yet potent: To provide social and emotional support for persons 21 or older who are divorced, separated, widowed or never married.
At Mary Lou's suggestion, each person attending those early meetings was greeted with a hug, a tradition that continues today, though the hug is now optional. It was that unpretentious token of affection, as much as anything else, that drew Karen Baird of Greenville to those first few gatherings.
In the years since, Baird has served on the group's board of directors and held various offices within the organization. She remembers Mary Lou with more than fondness, more than respect and affection. As do so many, she remembers Mary Lou with love.
"Mary Lou insisted we greet everyone at the door with a hug," Baird said. "She hugged everybody; that was her philosophy and it's something single people often miss, that closeness."
Longtime member and former group president Mary Jensen also sings Mary Lou's praises at every available opportunity. As one of many current and former members who says Mary Lou's work changed her life, Jensen says she can't overemphasize the positive impact the group — and Mary Lou — has had.
"It was a way to bring singles together so they didn't have to be lonely and do things alone," Jensen said. "At first, she had speakers come in; people from the courts, the police, counselors and psychiatrists; lots of different kinds of speakers. From there it grew into outings and camping and going to plays and movies.
"Mary Lou made the group feel like a second family. That's what it was. If you had no place to spend Christmas, Mary Lou wouldn't hesitate to open the door to you. If you needed a shirt, she would give you the whole outfit."
The singles group continued to pick up steam and increase its membership. In short order, the idea of hosting singles dances came up, with profits going to fund community assistance efforts.
"Originally, the money generated from the dances was used for members in need," Baird said. "It went to people who needed food or rent money. Once, we bought a member a hearing aid. Over the years we've provided scholarships for members and their kids."
These days the dances, held two or three Saturdays each month at American Legion Post 101, have brought in upwards of 300 people, though half that number is more typical. That's a lot of introductions, some of which have resulted in lifelong relationships and even marriages.
"People come back again after a divorce or the death of a spouse," Baird said. "The Greenville group has a reputation for holding the friendliest dances. We've had people come to the dances from as far away as Canada."
In addition to the myriad romantic relationships sparked by introductions at Greenville Adult Singles events, many lifelong friendships also have blossomed, such as the one between Baird and Jensen. Both women have lost children and both have gleaned comfort during those times from their abiding friendship. For that, they thank Mary Lou.
"If not for Mary Lou, I wouldn't have known Karen," Jensen said. "Karen would never have come to my door and held me the day my son died."
"And Mary wouldn't have shown up at my door when my son died," Karen added. "If not for Mary Lou starting all this over 20 years ago, I wouldn't have the group of wonderful friends I have today. If it hadn't been for her, we would have none of this."
Mary Lou's son, Greenville business owner Andy Hornbrook, says he often still hears people speaking of his mother and the impact she had on their lives.
"It is incredible people are still talking about her after all this time," Hornbrook said. "At least three times a month, someone will come up to me and tell me what a great woman she was, how she affected their lives. She did everything for everybody, except maybe herself."
Her family and immediate circle of friends, who, according to her son were really extended family in Mary Lou's eyes, took up most of her time. Though a lifetime subscriber to The Daily News, she rarely had time to read the paper.
"But she saved every issue," said Hornbrook. "We used to tease her about it. She said that when she retired she was going to go back and read them all and find out what had happened, what she had missed."
Mary Lou never got the chance. Cancer claimed her life shortly after she retired from teaching and the age-yellowed editions were tossed away unread.
But her legacy lives on in the many lives she touched with her own gentle, caring spirit.
The ripples spread.

Converting a wall fixure
1 Attachment(s)
Help! I have a project I'm hoping someone can talk me through. I am attaching a photo of the 'look' I am trying to achieve and the help I need. I have a wall light fixture that I would like to replace with a chandelier like the picture shown. Also, the mirror is too tall to use if I don't change out the fixture so regardless, the light will need to be changed out somehow.
How will I convert the electrical outlet so that I can wire a light, either ceiling or higher than existing fixture? My guess is I will need to direct-wire a light.?.
The ceiling above the bathroom is our bedroom floor upstairs. The existing light is on an exterior wall. I just don't know how to make a wall electrical outlet accessible for a hanging light.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
Well it only let me post 1 of 3 pictures :(
A chandelier would hang from the ceiling.
Really need a picture of what you have now.
The picture attached is what I have now. I want this light fixture removed and a chandelier instead. I wish this would let me post more than one picture.
Hanging fixtures are not allowed within 3' horizontally of a tub or shower footprint.
Lots of room to move it up to accommodate the mirror. Should be some extra wire in behind the wall, but even if not, you should be able to move the whole box upwards and patch the hole where it was.
Mark where the top of the mirror will be, turn the power off, remove the fixture and move the box it was fastened to, up.
Nobody wants a plug in lamp in the bathroom.:laughing:

Make Your Headcovers Personal
By Snyper on 12/27/10
Matt is an opinionated* golf enthusiast from Pennsylvania. He coaches at the high school level, molding the minds and swings of our next generation. Feel free to chime in with your thoughts and opinions of Matt in the comments. Don't hold back- because Matt won't.
Back in the day, a golf bag was used to carry your golf clubs. While they still serve that purpose, golf bags have evolved to become much much more. Whether it is the name brand in huge print, huge pockets all over, or loud colors, golf bags are as much a statement of self as the clothes that we wear. One of the newest ways to separate your golf bag from everyone else's is to customize your headcovers.
When graphite shafts first burst onto the scene, headcovers began to become more and more important. Though they are called headcovers, their purpose became more about covering the graphite shafts from the heads of your irons than protecting the actual heads of the woods. Graphite was/is very susceptible to being scratched and damaged by the irons in your bag, especially when you are riding and your clubs are bouncing all over the place. So, headcovers developed a long neck that would slide down over the top of the shaft to protect it as well as the head of your club. Pretty soon, everyone was using headcovers for their woods because everyone was buying metal woods with graphite shafts. It didn't take the retail industry long to realize that this was an opportunity to make some money and so began individualized headcovers.
Though they are called headcovers, their purpose became more about covering the graphite shafts from the heads of your irons...
By far and away, the most common custom headcovers are the animal variety. Even Tiger Woods himself sports an animal in his bag (a tiger, of course). While this hasn't caught on too quickly among the pros, there are some others who carry an animal of some sort along for the ride on tour. As far as public golf is concerned, you don't have to search through many foursomes to find at least one dog, cat, bear, or skunk even. In fact, I, myself, have recently added a beagle headcover to my repertoire.
Some other popular upgrades out there are the sports theme headcovers. I've seen guys with an entire set of covers boasting the colors and even the mascot of their favorite team. With poker and casinos increasing in popularity, the dice and playing cards headcovers are also gaining popularity. Other random themes include cartoon characters, super heroes, and even beer bottles. Believe it or not, there are even several places out there that still make the old school knitted headcovers! You know the ones; they look more like a pair of winter socks than they do a golf accessory. But in the old days, they were the norm. I'm a big fan of the old school, so kudos to any of you who have those bad boys in your bag.
I hate magnetic headcovers for drivers. They are a pain to open and half the time they stick to other clubs...
As is the case with most things, technology has recently entered the world of headcovers. With the increasing size of club heads, sliding a cover on and off has become more and more challenging. So, the newest innovation is the use of magnets to hold headcovers closed. Some brands use also us a zipper to open and close the cover, but magnets seem to be getting more and more popular. I'll be honest with you and say that I hate magnetic headcovers for drivers. They are a pain to open and half the time they stick to other clubs and pull two or three irons out of the bag with my driver. My previously mentioned beagle was added to my bag to replace a magnetic headcover because I got so tired of that thing. Now, I will give magnets a little credit and say that they are much more useful in the world of putter covers. Because the cover is smaller, the magnetic putter covers don't have nearly the issues with sticking to other clubs or being difficult to open and close. In fact, I prefer them to the slip-on or Velcro versions.
With Christmas just around the corner, you may want to consider a headcover upgrade for the golfer in your life. They are quite the "in" things these days and you won't have any trouble finding them in stores. Just about any retail store with a golf section and certainly any golf store will have a row or two of headcovers for you to choose from. Whether you have one that resembles your pet or reminds everyone that you love sports, headcovers are no longer just a way to protect your woods, but also a great way to separate your bag from everyone else's.

I added a "daphne's headcovers" Penguin to my bag some months ago. I enjoy it. It makes me laugh when i'm having a tough round, and when i'm driving in the cart my girlfriend laughs because "it looks like it's trying to fly" as the wind moves the arms up and down. Gets a few chuckles and "hey that's cool" at tourneys too.

I actually have a Sea Eagle driver cover that I got from back home in Australia. It's the mascot of my Rugby League team.

My favorite will always be the hand-sewn cover my grand daughter made from her soccer team socks. Emblazoned with a "B" for "Brian", it is the one irreplacable item in my bag.
Kurt the Knife says:
I got an old pair of Chuck Taylors I might cover my hybrids.
Recycle, re-use, repurpose, reject, republic.
sepfeiff says:
Agree 1000%! The Nike STR8 Fit headcover for drivers is a real piece of crap, magnetic and ill fitting. Took me no less than 10 seconds to put it on even if I had it perfectly aligned. I replaced it within minutes for an older pull-over headcover I had in the closet.
cph2133 says:
Jan Craig head covers...all I have to say about that...
mjaber says:
I'm gonna get a Bullwinkle headcover for my R5 eventually.
I agree that magnetic covers are stupid. I had one once. It was a pain in the ass.
JTW1 says:
My daughter got me a Garfield head cover, and then took it to her room and gave him a large loop nose ring. It has been on my driver for the last 2 yrs. When other golfers see it and I tell them the story, they love it.
(If I knew how to attach a pic I would)
mjaber says:
@JTW1... that's priceless
JuKu says:
A friend uses old, dirty socks as head covers. He says those work as theft deterrents.
Dazinkster says:
I got a Wolf driver head cover I picked up from Wolf Creek...kinda figured it wouldn't be too common 5,000 miles away here in the UK
windowsurfer says:
Like the grand-daughter soccer socks from bkuehn. I pick thru the lost + found @ this time of year and grab old covers, if i need. Free and fits my (according to she who knows) "homeless-guy fashion sense." All due respect - fuzzy animals belong on a grade 6 girl's bed, in my obnoxious opinion.
SpiritBstars1 says:
I use a personalized headcover made from an old gremlin stuffed animal as we all know it helps to have a gremlin or two help you out when you hit your ball into the woods and it comes back out again!

TH400 power handling and RPM range
Hey guys -
I have a question for all you domestic guru's:
Right now I'm running a 6spd in my supra and it's just a ***** at the track -difficult to launch and tends to hurt parts on drag radials (like the rear i blew thur night) - should've never been on low profile drag radials...damn wheel hop.
The latest trend for drag supras is going with a custom TH400 setup - since no matter how much a toyota tranny is built...it WILL fail eventually and can be costly to rebuild.
There are few shops in the USA building these kits and selling them for $4600 - $5500 (tranny, TC, drive shaft, adaptors, manual valve body, etc, etc...) - OUCH right?
I found a guy in Virginia who built a TH400 kit (tranny, 4k stall, driveshaft, adaptor..etc) for the Supra and is looking to trade for my 6spd / clutch -
My question: The tranny he has is a TCI tranny (reverse manual valve body) with PI 4000 stall with all adaptors to fit the Supra. Granted, I still need to find out exactly which TCI 400 tranny he has...even though he is going to fully freshen the trans.
But how is the power handling of the TCI 400 trans?
Will the tranny be able to handle 8000rpm shifts?
Car weighs ~3500lbs and makes 621rwhp @ 18psi and over 800rwhp @ 30psi - all thru the 6spd of course.
Another shop in Maryland (MSP Performance) has no issues with ATI tranny's and runs 8.30's on his drag Supra...but this is TCI, not ATI However, he thinks the TCI would be great....
You all are the experts...any tips would be great.
I've been doing "searches" for the past 2 days here and found alot of good base info, the tranny seems VERY solid and many folks put 500hp thru it - just thought I'd ask about a bit more power and RPM range - not to mention the sudden power deliver a big turbo delivers vs. the linear power deliver of a nice BBC.
I suppose, worse case: the Tranny fails after a number of passes and over the Winter I replace with something like: http://www.fbperformance.com/transmi...turbo400ms.htm $1,000 for a new 1000hp handling TH400...not bad Maybe even less since I'd have a "donor" TH400?
The Turbo 400 holds LS 6 454 450 horse engines easy. They make 500 - 525 stock. They were underated by GM. Rodders installed Open Chamber heads, bored them .030 or more and balanced everything and were at 600 to 650 HP pretty easy........in a heavy 70 Chevelle.
Then they started shooting NOS on them.......750 to 800 HP on the bottle
No problems.........
I say GO FOR IT ! !
I've built T-400's for Federal Mogul blown alcohol funny cars.
The engine guys tell us 2200 - 2500 hp
This is a very serious T-400 with high amounts of special parts.
I had a 6-71 blown 468 bb chevy in a 69 Camaro in the 80's. On a Go-Power dyno the engine pegged the 1,000 hp needle.
The T-400 in the car held up well to my foot and 13 inch slicks.
Dont worry how old you are... it is the mileage on your body that adds up.
Deuce & Crosley -
Thanks for the info, basically I wanted to hear from some "real" world users and racers, the 400 swap is still pretty new in the Supra world, and the few shops making kits charge an arm and a leg.
They sound pretty solid even in stock form - especially if they can handle a large nitrous shot and still make it.
My real concern was it taking pass after pass with 800 more HP going thru it and snapping off 8000 rpms shift.
Crosley - you build a mean 400 tranny - Obviously, I'll never need anything quite as stoudt the tranny behind a blown alky car - but I would like the tranny to at least make it thru an entire season or more before needing a full freshening.
If that means buying / building more than I'd need - so be it. Being new to domestics - I'm not sure what you (crosley) or any of the local places would charge for an extreme rebuild...but looking at this: http://www.fbperformance.com/transmi...turbo400ms.htm - 1000HP rated, for drag racing and the whole 9 yards is only $1000...cheap in the Supra world - I image a build of an existing tranny would be even less?
Thanks again guys! -stay tuned

She is an optimist and is extremely passionate about social media and entertainment, which shows by how much she jumps and yells when she talks about it.
Jacqueline Fitzgerald - Film Noir Blonde
Website | Twitter | Facebook | LinkedIn
Jacqueline Fitzgerald started her career in London at SSC&B: Lintas Worldwide Advertising, then became a journalist for a start-up magazine publisher. After returning to the U.S., she joined the Chicago Tribune as an editor and writer. She stayed at the Tribune for 13 years, working in the business, lifestyle and entertainment sections. During that time, she was a finalist for a Peter Lisagor exemplary journalism award, served on the Society of Professional Journalists board of directors and was selected to participate in a fiction-writing residency at Ragdale.
Realizing that life is short and winters are long, she jumped at the chance to be a corporate communications/PR manager at Roll Global in sunny Los Angeles. While there, she specialized in writing, social-media strategy, media relations and brand building. In 2009, the Roll Global folks won PR team of the year from PRWeek magazine. Jacqueline founded Fitzgerald Communications and FilmNoirBlonde.com, a site that covers classic and contemporary movies as well as art, fashion and LA lifestyle, in 2011.

David Perez is a Golden Mike Award-winning online content producer at KFI AM-640, the most listened to news/talk radio station in the U.S. He is also the associate producer of "Wake Up Call" with Gary Hoffmann.
David fell into radio and digital brand building in 2005 while studying to become an audio engineer. He took an internship at 93.1 Jack FM (KCBS) and wanted to learn how to do "everything" at the station (and the free concerts didn't hurt either). When the opportunity to manage the station's website arose, David quickly volunteered.
David later went back to school to study journalism and public relations, so he decided to move into talk radio. He kept a student mentality and managed to move from programming, to the newsroom, and finally to digital.
When he's not overworking himself, David likes to go to concerts, watch movies, play drums, and dig through vinyl records at Amoeba Music.
Alicia Yaffe launched The Spellbound Group in 2011 to execute unique campaigns for bands and brands to build sustainable markets. Alicia has strategized and executed the social media campaigns and profiles for legendary pop culture acts including The Doors, Janis Joplin, Rick James, Peter Tosh, Henry Mancini, and the Ramones, since 2010 as well as strategic marketing campaigns for Daniel Bedingfield, The School of Pop, and DeLuna Fest among others.
Alicia has been a speaker on various marketing related panels at the NARM/MusicBiz conventions for 2009, 2010, 2011, and 2013, and moderated a panel at the CMJ Music Marathon in 2009 about selling physical products in a digital world.

Originally posted on Fox Sports Wisconsin | Last updated 3/20/13
LEXINGTON, Ky. -- Davidson coach Bob McKillop carries a bunch of pennies in his back pocket. For most, a handful of pennies won't buy much. But for McKillop, pennies buy motivation and improvement. All year long he's filled a penny jar, adding one each time his team got better. "I believe we needed to always have an impetus at key moments, crucial moments, reminders," McKillop said. "There are things that I carry in my pocket on the bench that are there at the right time. At the appropriate time, I'm ready to pull them out." The Wildcats needed something to kick-start themselves in the Southern Conference tournament semifinals against Appalachian State, so McKillop brought the jar to the bench. Down as many as 13 points in the second half, the coach passed the pennies down the bench to his players. "I had the pennies in my back pocket for quite a while," McKillop said. "It wasn't that I felt pressed to pull them out at any particular time, but having got that game, I felt it was very important that they saw little by little we got back into that game, and it was just lesson of the pennies all year long that brought us to victory against Appalachian State." Without that comeback Davidson would be preparing for the NIT, not to face Marquette in the NCAA tournament Thursday in Lexington, Ky. It would have been a gigantic disappointment for a team that dominated the Southern Conference and went 17-1 in regular-season conference play. The Wildcats -- who have won 17 straight games since starting 9-7 -- instead return to the NCAA tournament for the fifth time since 2006. When many think of Davidson, minds instantly wander back to the 2008 team that made the historic run to the Elite Eight behind Stephen Curry. But this current Davidson team has been on this stage before, losing to Louisville 69-62 last year in the Round of 32. The majority of that group is back, ready to use the lessons learned against the Golden Eagles. "There was a new experience for us coming and doing the media day from last year and the bright lights and stuff like that," Davidson forward Jake Cohen said. "This year, we knew what we had in front of us going in. It doesn't make our task of beating Marquette any easier, but it certainly helps knowing what to expect and that will help (Thursday)." It was a down year for the Southern Conference, and Davidson hasn't faced a high-level opponent with the talent and athleticism like Marquette features since playing Duke on Jan. 2. The Wildcats are confident a non-conference schedule that included games against Vanderbilt, West Virginia, Gonzaga and Duke prepared them enough for what they'll see Thursday. "We played really tough games earlier in the year, and they prepared us for games like this," Cohen said. "We knew we weren't going to win every game we played this year. So playing on the road at New Mexico, playing Duke in Charlotte, playing Gonzaga in Orlando, those are all top-three seeds. "Playing those kind of teams, that's what prepares you for a game like (Thursday's) and you don't forget what it's like playing against those kind of guys. I think we'll be ready." McKillop added an interesting twist to the schedule story line by saying his team has fought a tough opponent all season long. "We played against ourselves for quite a long period of time this year," McKillop said. "The expectations that this team had upon its shoulders from the beginning of the season were extraordinary. This team never had those expectations last year." The significant pressure Davidson has faced all season will intensify against Marquette on Thursday. This time around, the Wildcats are looking for an extended stay. "I think last year they were relieved to be in the tournament," McKillop said. "I think this year they're excited to be in the tournament. There's a big difference between those two emotions. "I believe that they were on a mission from the beginning of this year and handled it very well despite the adversity of a 9-7 record back in early January." Follow Andrew Gruman on Twitter.

I kicked off Paris Fashion week at the Commuun show on Tuesday night. Designers Iku Furudate and Kaito Hori's sustainable organic collection draws its inspiration from nature and architecture via bold lines and faded hues. After the show, I chatted up the hair and makeup departments to get the details on the beauty looks.
Yesterday I stopped by Colette and caught up with Beauty Box manager Lisa Brusewitz. While I was there I snapped some pictures of all the goodies they are stocking their shelves with this season….. Enjoy!
While in Paris, I caught up with my dear friend, the charming film buff and cat enthusiast Jessica from Marie Claire, France. Jess writes about fashion and culture for the Paris based glossy and contributes to other publications when she has the time. We spent an afternoon chatting about how she got her start as a fashion writer and her favorite beauty finds.
Alexandre Herchcovitch takes us back in time to the 1950's in his SS 2012 collection. Using vintage fabrics with faded colors, the clothes are bold yet refined. Backstage I chatted with the beauty experts about the looks they created for the show.
I checked out knitwear designer extraordinaire, Mark Fast's, presentation last night at Milk Studios and got the low down on the show's futuristic looks designed by makeup artist Yadim Carranza.
Earlier this evening I headed to Milk Studios to check out the Katie Gallagher show. This is Katie's fifth showing at NYFW and it's on the heels of her first delivery at shopbop selling out in a heartbeat. Her SS 2012 collection, "Red Red Blood", is inspired by sanguine and Katie designed a head to toe beauty look to complement the collection.
For FNO I kept it local, staying downtown and checking out some of my favorite brands. My first stop was the Chanel boutique. Their manicure bar was already in full gear with a line down the sidewalk pretty early in the evening. They were offering full service manicures featuring Chanel's new denim themed nail collection—which looks incredible!
I caught up with Kristina Estabrooks, lead fashion designer for nail powerhouse CND, early this afternoon while backstage at the Wes Gordon show. We chatted about her decision to go bold and bright for the nails in the show.
"Its CND's 15th year in fashion and we are really celebrating lots of rich saturated colors. It is all about power and powerful women. I had in mind the kind of woman who can walk down the street and exude power. For this show I chose to use the Nearly Neon shade "Poppyfield". Poppy is a new twist on the classic red and can go with pretty much anything and any skin tone."

The Hunley Legacy
- Philippine Insurrection, 1899-1902 -- 600,000 Filipinos died resisting US occupation.
- Vietnam, 1960-75 -- Two million Vietnamese killed in longest US war.
- Indonesia, 1965 -- CIA-backed overthrow of Sukarno in 1965 resulted in estimated death of one million people.
- Cambodia, 1969-75 -- US carpet bombing killed two million people.
- El Salvador, 1981-92 -- troops and air power assisted death squads, 75,000 people killed.
- Serbia -- Clinton's 'Wag the Dog' Air War in 1999 killed 6,000 Serbian troops and 2,000 civilians.
- Iraq -- US-led sanctions result in the estimated deaths of over one million civilians, from 1990 to 2003. And the Iraqi invasion and occupation has killed over 700 US troops, 5,000 Iraqi troops, and 8,000 civilians.
Lincoln's Revolution did not create "a new birth of freedom." It usurped and centralized power from the States, which was the Founding Fathers' greatest fear. As a result, the US has become the opposite of what it used to be. Where once it was a free republic that minded its own business, it is now the last holdout from the 19th and 20th centuries' age of empires. Problem is, we're now in the age of small nations and city-states, where Singapore, Hong Kong, and Switzerland are the new models for successful competition and quality of life. The Soviet Union and Yugoslavia, both "proposition" megastates, succumbed to the yearnings of its captive peoples for self- determination and preservation of their traditional cultures, which provide the surest foundation for durable and voluntary social and political order. The same yearnings drive the Catalans, the Quebecois, and the Scots today, just as they once drove American Colonists in 1776, Texans in 1836, and Jews in 1948. One thing that history clearly teaches is that military intervention is not an aberration of big government, it is instead big government's business plan. And overseas militarism guarantees domestic oppression. As James Madison said, "The means of defense against foreign danger historically have become the instruments of tyranny at home." Now that we have W's US PATRIOT Act, which authorizes citizen surveillance, and Obama's NDAA, which disposes of the right to habeas corpus, we see just how right Madison was. Just as we see how right was the Cause of the Hunley crew. God bless them.

Well said, Old Reb, this says it all. These were brave South Carolinians, brave Americans, who died in defense of their families, homes, liberty and country.
It is quite appropriate today that a president of the enemy would not eulogize them, but very appropriate that the governor of South Carolina should be honoring these men as the equals of Francis Marion, et al.

You forgot America's backing of ethnic cleansing in the Guatemalan Civil War.
Venice is a good historical model. It was once powerful and influential. Sparta was a small state that became powerful vs. Athens, a much larger state.
My personal ideal though is a larger state that can enjoy a greater degree of autarky. How large I suppose depends on the situation. The goal should be a permanent state that endures rather than slowly dies.

You are short changing the US on what it has done. You totally forgot WWII and Korea. In WWII, we killed more French than the Germans ever thought of, plus, the Yankee deserters set up a mafia in Paris that had the French begging for the Germans to return. Then we bomb innocent German civilians in the untold millions and starved German POW's. Korea, you can't even get a butcher's bill.
- February 18, 2014 at 3:15 PM
The Hunley crewmen were brave men. Just a little correction, though--the Housatonic was not bombarding Charleston, but enforcing the blockade. All the shells being thrown into the city (for no good reason) were coming from the artillery batteries at Morris Island.

Harper leads way as Nats bust out in 10th
Harper leads way as Nats bust out in 10th
Washington sent seven hitters to the plate in a two-run first inning before notching just one hit over the next eight frames as a 2-0 lead turned into an extra-inning ballgame under soggy conditions late at Citi Field.
But they found that mojo just in time in the 10th, as Bryce Harper jump-started a six-run inning that also featured a Ryan Zimmerman bases-clearing double and a long Michael Morse home run.
"It's kind of the makeup of our team," Morse said. "We just never quit. ... We just kept coming, kept pushing. Lately, it doesn't matter how many runs you get, you just have to keep adding them and keep going."
Scoring early and late did the trick, earning Tom Gorzelanny his third win of the year after he even hit for himself in the wacky 10th inning that saw the Nationals bat around.
It was a no-decision for starter Jordan Zimmermann, who was steady as ever, notching yet another six-inning outing to make it a perfect 20-for-20 this season. The right-hander, who scattered four hits and one run (a David Wright solo homer), has an ERA of 0.95 over his last six outings.
"Every time you have a good start, you feel good," Zimmermann said. "I mean, you always want to carry it over to the next start, and I have a pretty good streak going right now. Everything's been working, so hopefully it continues."
His effort was nearly wasted when Mike Gonzalez, in to finish the seventh, surrendered a game-tying home run on the first pitch he threw to Ike Davis, which the Mets' cleanup hitter drove on a line just inside the right-field foul pole and over the wall.
But Ryan Mattheus and Gorzelanny held serve in the latest stages of the game while the Mets' bullpen -- which was also taxed in the teams' series last week in Washington -- faltered in the 10th.
Roger Bernadina, helping to fill the void left by All-Star shortstop Ian Desmond's stint on the disabled list that officially began Monday, singled to lead off the inning.
After the Mets failed to turn a 1-6-3 double play, the bases were loaded for Harper with one out against right-hander Pedro Beato. Harper delivered against the drawn-in infield, lacing a line drive over a leaping Daniel Murphy at second to score Sandy Leon from third. Zimmerman, up next, crushed a double to the right-center-field gap before Morse homered to blow the game wide open.
"All those pitches were over the plate, and they took advantage of them," said Beato, whom the Mets optioned to Triple-A after the game. "You try to go out there and do a job, and you fail."
The Nationals admitted afterward they were pleased to see Mets starter Chris Young leave, given the way he dominated from the second inning on. After facing seven hitters in the first, he mowed through Washington's lineup, retiring 18 of 20 hitters and surrendering only a third-inning walk to Harper and seventh-inning base on balls to Leon.
"That guy, for some reason, gives us trouble," Washington manager Davey Johnson said. "We can't seem to center on his pitches. They're 85 mph, but they must have a lot of lift on them and he locates them good. He's got that little slider and curveball. He doesn't hardly throw the curveball, but we couldn't hardly touch him. Harper got ahold of one, but nobody else could. I was glad to see him depart."
The Nats finished with more hits in the 10th than the previous nine innings combined, and they moved to 4 1/2 games up on the Braves in the National League East with the victory.
"We're a confident team," Zimmerman said. "We know if we can hang around and give ourselves a chance, that's all we need."

27/11/2012 Middlesbrough
Crime Reduction experts in Middlesbrough are unveiling their latest weapon in the fight against purse, wallet and bag thefts as the town centre fills up with Christmas shoppers.
Police will be setting up shop in the Cleveland Centre on Friday (30th November) and will be giving away free bells to attach to personal items so owners can be aware if they are being stolen.
And the officers hope visitors to their Jingle Bells campaign stall which will be at the top end of the centre near the Centre Manager's Office will sign up for the town's Neighbourhood Watch scheme so they can play an active part in deterring and reducing crime.
PC Steve Cranston, Crime Prevention Officer for Middlesbrough District said: "Purse bells have been used with great effect in other towns in our force and we hope as many people as possible will take up our offer of free bells. We'd also like to encourage residents to sign up for our Neighbourhood Watch scheme – it's a great way to meet your neighbours and to make a real difference in your community."
