Do The DC Judge's Keep Your Feet Warm?
I am considering buying a pair of the DC Judges, but I'm concerned that my feet will get cold with the vent system they have.
What's the verdict on these rockstars?
I like mine and they have held up very well. They are plenty warm although i do use toe warmers when i know i will be out for a very long time on the coldest days.
I have seen in some reviews that they leak at the toes. How many people have had this issue? I live in CO and it gets windy at times. The guy at the shop told me that the boots are not
ment for people who live in CO. due to the wind/venting system.

The guy at the shop in Colorado told you those boots weren't meant for Colorado? :dunno: The wind doesn't have much to do with anything. You experience more wind on your boot while riding downhill than just standing around, so everywhere you would be riding you would experience the same wind against you boot vents. Not just Colorado.
Yeah man, that's what I was thinking! This was at Boulder Ski Deals.
I used the DC Judge boots for 50 -60 times this season in everything from rain to -15c. Personally I never had any issues with warmth or dryness. They arent the best if you have a narrow foot thou.
I have 40 days on mine. They are very warm and well ventilated boots. The alpha liner has like a plastic mesh in the toe area. If it is a warm slushy all around wet day my toes are wet by lunch. I rode one night last season with the temp around 5 degrees my feet felt fine.

A boot that fits right will be warm. The dude as Ski Deals is an idiot. The venting is that similar to goretex (in theory). Let out steam, keep out water. Designed to keeps your toes drier, and thus more prone to staying warm.
Warmth concerns with boots is really a thing of the early 2000's and beyond. If you get a modern boot that fits, don't wear cotton socks, and keep your core warm, you'll have warm feet. Same works for gloves in fact, keep your core warm and a mid thick "park" glove will do even on -20 days.

The Benefit Plan - You'll gain from explaining its value to your workers
Edie Evans says there are two things she wants to know when she interviews for a job. "I want to know how much it pays and how much time off I get," says Evans, who is a secretary. She admits that those are what matter to her most.
Apparently, others share her opinion. A survey of 1,542 workers conducted by MetLife shows that while employees recognize the importance of health-care insurance, pension plans and disability insurance, the benefit they value most is paid vacations. The survey found that while 63 percent are worried about just making ends meet, 64 percent identified vacation time as their most valuable benefit. "When you start talking about benefits, I think it's easy for people to get confused and concerned," says Craig Guiffre, a MetLife senior vice president. "There's so much out there they probably don't know where to turn, so they turn to what is easy."
In some ways, the short-term view of benefits employees have is similar to the short-term earnings perspective that some corporate executives possess. Guiffre says most companies, even those that offer generous and broad benefits programs, are often vague about their value to workers. Those companies wait for employees to recognize the value of their benefits and appreciate them. Unfortunately, sometimes that doesn't happen. MetLife reports that 49 percent of workers think their employer's share of medical insurance expenses is less than $2,000 a year. In actuality, a report from the Kaiser Family Foundation and Health Research and Educational Trust says companies nationally pay an average of $3,137 to cover individuals and $7,289 for families.
"Employees often have an unrealistic view of what benefits really cost," Guiffre says. "I think employers really need to work on ways they can educate workers so they appreciate those benefits." And when workers start valuing paid vacations ahead of the long-term security that pension plans offer, well-intentioned companies don't get the payback for the benefits they offer.
Guiffre says it becomes incumbent on employers to educate workers in a more efficient manner. One way to do that is to specifically target groups within the work force and make them aware of the benefits that apply to them. A young couple with children under the age of 3 has different benefit needs from a mid-career worker who needs tuition assistance or a worker who is nearing retirement age. "I think we need benefits programs that are more structured, that identify life stages and have benefits that are timely," Guiffre says. "If you start to do that, workers see more value in their benefits and are more likely to use them."
In the case of Evans, she says she knows she should be saving for college for her two children, ages 10 and 12. Yet she doesn't even know if her employer offers counseling for that. "I guess I should ask," she says.
Guiffre thinks it shouldn't be left to chance. The company should actively try to determine the needs of its workers and show them benefits that pertain directly to them. Because a surge in baby boom retirements will shrink the labor force in the years ahead, Guiffre says employers will have to offer better benefits to attract and retain good workers. At the same time, they are fighting a constant battle to control benefit costs. "Education of workers becomes a smart choice," he says. "Employers will be able to maximize the benefits they have if employees are aware of them. And from the perspective of the worker, the job becomes more valuable and important because the benefits mean something to them."

The rooms were very nice and spacious and the service was excellent. For some reason I was booked for two rooms even though my online receipt said 1. The name on the second room was a misspell and it wasn't my phone number either.
Nothing Our receptionist was fake and unreliable. There also was blood on our bed sheets and the front desk did nothing about it.
The staff was very friendly and helpful. the rooms were clean and spacious. No fan in the bathroom. One side of the sleep number mattress wasn't working.
The chef made me salsa from scratch when I asked if they had any!
The room was fantastic the bed very comfortable the couch was a great touch as well. The hotel bar staff was a bit untrained. I asked them if they had the ingredients to make me an old fashioned and if they knew how. They said yes they could. It was not property made and completely undrinkable.
The atmosphere was great. The staff was pleasant I thought I was getting a room with two queen sized beds and my room had two double beds.
The location was as expected. The young lady at the reception desk was obviously either new or lacking basic customer service skills. Se never smiled or even pointed out the location of the restaurant the elevator to get to our room. The chocolate chip cookies that we normally love (what pushed us over the edge into this hotel vs. the Hilton next door) were stale and brittle. The shower tile in our room was so disgusting you could actually take a wet washcloth and wipe the mildew off the grout. We found dark red smears on the sheets that I hope were merely lipstick stains and not the alternative. Doubletree advocate so rating this hotel as the "exception to the Doubletree experience" and highly encourage Doubletree corporate to Secret Shop this particular location.
Nice bed Hear guest in room next door and above
Nos alojamos aquí por una noche y realmente lo disfruté mucho. Todo fue remodelado y hermoso. El personal era amable el desayuno era delicioso. La cama era un poco firme pero muchas almohadas y todo el mobiliario y los accesorios estaban totalmente nuevos. Habitaciones muy espaciosas. Sin duda me quedaría aquí de nuevo. La cama era un poco firme. El check-in llevó más tiempo del esperado incluso después de que llamé para confirmar la reserva y decir personal yo estaba en mi camino. Unos 15 min.
New, stylish, suite A little dirty.
Spacious Not enough towels
Clean suite!!
Comfortable room, clean, friendly staff There was no booklet or guide in the room providing information about the hotel, the layout or local restaurants that deliver. I was underwhelmed by the menu offerings for the breakfast and evening reception. Neither was worth the effort of showing up.
I liked that it was very close to restaurants. I liked that it was newer and felt safe. I didnt like the TV system, there were few options and the wifi was too slow.
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
Location was great. Convenient to many restaurants and stores. Near freeway. Front desk staff was friendly and accomI dating to our needs. We did not like the breakfast. The food was cold. The orange juice taste like water down juice. Area was not clean, food all over counter. And supplies were not filled. Ex:no syrup, milk, juice. Breakfast staff not friendly!
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
This hotel is relatively new. I liked the nightly social The laundry room is not free. Ive stayed at other hotel/home concepts and guest laundry was included.
The staff was friendly and helpful. No complaints.
The room was very comfortable and spacious. The bed and pillows made for great sleeping. The shower was fun. Breakfast was above average. No. We would definitely stay again.
The spacious room and great kitchen. We also liked the large shower. The ice maker never worked although we were assured upon check-in that it did. We were there for two nights. We thought the sectional sofa was very uncomfortable. After rinsing at end of shower, the floor of the shower was slippery.
From the moment we walked into the lobby, the front desk staff was very friendly, helpful, and accommodating. We had traveled to Ohio to be there for my mother that suffered a severe stroke. We wished we could have stayed longer!! Their pool was clean and a wonderful 88 degrees while a blizzard raged outside. We will return to this hotel!
The room My credit card getting charged more than expected
It was an excellent location and price to meet my needs. The thermostat didn't seem to work correctly. I liked the idea of having the type of air system, but it was too cold and I couldn't stop it from blowing on the bed without it whistling.
The hotel was conveniently located from the Akron/Canton airport. The room was a nice size and pretty clean. The front desk staff were very friendly and accommodating, and breakfast was good. I wasn't completely crazy about the room setup.
Everything, friendly staff, clean room. Was a little pricey, but worht it. The continental breakfast was good. But, need to change the hot breakfast menu some.
Rooms and lobby. Beautiful hotel
Very clean, modern and welcoming. Friendly and helpful staff. Nothing.

The hotel and staff was great. The location is prime for shopping and places to eat. The hotel appear newly renovated and clean. There's a refrigerator, mocrowave, and internet. We visit family often and the Holiday Inn is our first choice. I wish the pool opened earlier and stayed open later.
Very friendly staff
Peeling wall paper. No one at front desk twice.
Perfect location for a weekend stay in Fairlawn. Comfortable beds, clean rooms, excellent staff.
The staff was very friendly. The rooms were updated and clean.
Location Beds could be more comfortable
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
Friendly Hotel personal. Everything was great!!
It has everything in it. The shower drainer is not working perfectly.
Reception was efficient and very courteous. Breakfast above average, and personal very helpful And courteous. Room above average in every Way. Good choice for us.
Clean room, comfortable bed, breakfast was excellent, pool and hot tub were clean and accessible, parking was ample and free wifi was a plus. Was very frustrating that the night shift manager allowed, basically a neighborhood block party, to go in the halls and pool area after hours. Several guests complained but nothing was done.
The staff was friendly I guess. They don't recycle. They throw all recyclables in the garbage, and they go to a landfill. Also the eggs at breakfast were definitely not made from real eggs.
Convenient location, lobby looked nice Room was tiny - there was no space for us to walk with the pack and play. Checkin took over 15 minutes. The previous guest's toothbrush was still on the sink when we entered the room. Staff was high handed and obnoxious.
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
Replace the carpet in the elevator as it gives a bad first impresdion
Had a bed No refrigerator in the room.
The hot breakfast was a good start to the day. The quality of everything was as or better than expected. Nothing mind blowing or disappointing, I would stay again. Staff were very helpful.
Everything and the customer service was great Nothing
Desk staff was very friendly Bathroom had a very dirty floor, including pubic hairs on the floor and sink. Didn't even think about using the shower because God only knows how filthy that actually was. Didn't find any bed bugs but I tried not to think about whether the sheets had been cleaned or not, just based on the state of the bathroom.
This was a last minute booking and Front desk was very nice and was able to send me a shuttle to my airport wIthin minutes. They allowed me to check out a little late . Overall it was clean and was great for the price I paid! Definitely would recommend this hotel if you would like to stay by the airport.
El Sheraton en las cataratas de Cuyahoga es genial. Las habitaciones están súper limpias y muy bien organizadas. El personal era super amable. Me gustó mucho el ambiente general del hotel. Sin duda volveremos.
Animales domésticos permitidos, y eran muy amables con el tema
Una experiencia muy agradable. La habitación estaba muy limpia y todo el personal muy amable. Hermosa zona exterior con el agua en cascada. La piscina muy agradable. Un gran servicio de habitación. Muy buen restaurante y salón. Realmente nada.
The front desk staff was very nice. The bed was uncomfortable. The patio area was small and once the lights were turned out at the pool it was dimly lit. The water at the front desk did not have any water glasses. The supplies ran short at the front desk.

The room was clean the staff were excellent overall one of the best Hotels I've stayed!!!
Beautiful hotel and really nice breakfast. When I called for a shuttle from the airport, I was told they would be there in 20 minutes. I waited for an hour and a half for the shuttle. However, the ride back to the airport in the morning was quick and timely.
Great hotel. Good breakfast. Room was spacious and quiet. WIFI was good.

Fresh baked cookies upon arrival. Clean, rooms with plenty of lighting and outlets. no

The room was very nice, breakfast was good, price was eeasonable. Loved it! Liked everything.
This is the 2nd year we've stayed here for a car show at summit racing. Rooms are very very nice and the staff is nice too. Seating area in the lounge is very comfortable and have a big TV. It's a nice place to get together with people who may be staying in another room that you are traveling with. That's what we did. Really enjoyed it. Parking area is nice we were abke to watch our cars from right outside our windows. That was a big plus.
Location average at best

I'm in the process of setting up my tank right now it's just water filter substrate and some driftwood. My kids want me to add fish but I explained to them that I gotta add plants first and before I can add plants I gotta buy frets. They didn't care they just want the fish in lol. So my question is do I have to have the ferts in hand or can I put in plants then wait a week or 2 for my ferts? And also before I add fish can I just add them or do I need to cycle the tank? I've read whereas the plants kinda cycle the tank enough for fish to he introduced? My GF won't allow pure ammonia in my house because of the kids so I have to do the fish-in cycle otherwise. Much advice needed. Thank you
Long time fish cycle believer
Just a noob here, but I am a long time user of the fish cycle. I tried fishless with plants the last time around and am now a firm believer. If your GF is concerned about ammonia around the kids, I would urge you to consider diluting it before you bring it home. That may help dispel her concern. Just make sure you get the right stuff. Give it a shake and look for bubbles. There should be none. Local hardware store is your best bet.The ammonia gives your plants a huge kick start. I still don't use ferts in that tank, and it has been cycled for a couple months.
She read a few articles and learned firsthand from her cousin that ammonia can cause mental retardation and she told me under no circumstances am I allowed to have it in the house. She told me putting fish in is the only way I'm allowed. I don't mind I just don't like potentially risking the lives of fish.
She's very protective lol. We don't even have any knives in the house plastic butter knifes only
You might want to point out to her that there will be ammonia in the tank anyway if your just going to throw fish in without cycling it first : /
edit: how do you cook with no knives?
I have 2 other fish tanks going she knows there's ammonia in there from the fish she just doesn't want a bottle of ammonia around. Even tho I keep all of my supplies under lock and key
Well lets hold everything up here.
You can't add any fish or inverts until you complete a nitrogen cycle.
Some people say you can do a fish in cycle, but that's fish murder. Sorry.
Nitrogen cycles can be completed with plants. You dose either ammonia or fish flakes daily, and see if your ammonia drops by the end of the day. It is simple. It takes time, but if you don't take your time and do things right, you'll regret it later on.
I can try the fish flakes method. Gotta get some plants soon I think lol. Need to get a heater yet as well. And we use forks to cut everything lol
Yes, both plants and bacterial biofilters will consume fish waste, and keep it from building up. But it's best to have *both* functioning together, each capable of taking up the slack from the other.
With plants alone, depending on how many fish there are, they may not be capable of consuming 100% of fish waste. There may be too few plants for the number of fish. Even if there's technically enough plants, if they're not healthy they won't be effective consumers of fish waste, which can happen if:
1) They're lacking nutrients which the fish produce in insufficient quantities. Typically at least potassium, plus iron and other traces. These must be provided from ferts, or a rich substrate.
2) They're not getting enough light. Or too much light. Or too little carbon for the amount of light.
3) They're in transplant shock from having just been added, from a source with major differences in tank parameters.
4) Or any number of other things.
It can be done, but to guarantee success, it takes a certain amount of experience on behalf of the hobbyist. Since you don't yet have ferts, I think I can safely assume you don't yet have that level of experience, and can't recommend that method. Plants will help, but don't rely on them alone.
Though I've never done it, I hear a fishless cycle can be accomplished with nothing more than fish food. Add the amount you expect to feed daily. Monitor the progress of the cycle with your test kits as normal, and when complete, add the fish. If you've underestimated the amount of food, increase it only *gradually*, so that you don't include a noticeable mini-cycle. This probably means you can't let your children feed, or perhaps even have access to, the fish food without supervision! They'll probably want to "fatten up" the new fish, which could be disastrous.
If you can move a small portion of filter media from one of your established tanks to the new tank, it will greatly speed up the cycle.
If you can switch some filter material over from your established tanks along with the plants, you'll be able to establish beneficial bacteria pretty quickly.
However, if you're doing fish-in, you'll need to build the bio-load VERY slowly and commit to frequent water changes until everything is up and running.
Last spring my main tank back wall shattered, leaving me needing to set up and start transferring my fish out of temporary holding pretty quickly. The new substrate got a handful of the old seeded into it and I pulled one of my eheim filter pads to shove into the HOB filters on the new tank as well as transferring over a few bits of driftwood I'd been able to keep soaking.
Bought a trio of mollies to start things off then very gradually moved fish from my backup tanks into the new one. We're talking a couple of inches of fish every 3-4 days as I was filling in with more plants and keeping up 20% daily water changes.
I don't have any used media that will fit in my filter. Other than that I'm planning on an otocinclus and 12 celestial pearl danios. And later if my tank can hold more fish then a few kuhli loaches. Other than that my lighting will produce roughly 30-40 PAR. And I don't have the ferts yet but I know what I'm getting. It's a money issue gotta buy everything overtime I only set the tank up already because my 5 year old son begged me. It's in his room but they will nvr feed unsupervised. The ferts I'm adding are seachem equilibrium, potassium nitrate, and mono potassium phosphate
I'm sure ill need a few water changes to get things going while I'm experimenting with feet dosage but when everything's balanced I'm not planning on ever doing water changes. That's the reason I opted to do this style of tank. Easiest possible maintenance. Considering I enjoy pruning so I don't consider that tedious
I typically sacrifice a filter pad and just cut it up to fit pieces into the new filter, but you can also just toss the media directly into the tank and remove it later on.
Can't go along with you on the no water changes deal. There's ways to greatly minimize 'em but a closed system like that needs more than just regular top offs to be healthy long-term.
This link is to the method I'm trying. It's an article written based upon a bunch of articles written by Tom Barr. It calls for NEVER doing water changes only to do top offs when needed.
There are a lot of checks on the list before you can get to a no water change tank.
People tend to only see what they want to read. But you'll need heaps of plants, all that jazz before you can get to a comfortable point.

"An Open Forum for Open Minds"
As founders of RootzWiki Forum, we believe that every user deserves to be treated with respect.
Thus, to keep a safe and friendly environment, we have established some ground rules for using the site.
I. Posting and editing of content on RootzWiki.com
- We treat the members here as family, and expect you to do the same. While foul and profane speech (aka "swearing") may be removed at the discretion of our editors, foul images will NEVER be accepted under any circumstances. Your offending post(s) will be removed, and should the violations persist, you will be removed as well.
- Racist, sexist, homophobic, or any other form of derogatory or hateful speech will be removed. We maintain a zero-tolerance policy for such inappropriate content. Anyone posting content such as this will be eligible for immediate removal from the forums.
- The forums have been organized by topic. Grossly off-topic, disruptive, "trolling", harrassing, and "marketing"/spam posts will also be removed or edited at the discretion of the Site Staff.
- Keep in mind that your participation is a privilege and not an entitlement.Our goal in providing a "fully open forum" must be balanced with our desire to have a valuable online resource for our visitors.
II. Rooting materials and other content
- RootzWiki will not provide a platform for the advertising, promotion, or advocacy of distributing illegal content including "warez", paid market applications (without developer consent), or any other form of software piracy or illegal activity. Offering applications already available in the Android Market or via other distribution channels is discouraged unless you are the developer or other copyright holder and entitled to such distribution. If you wish to encourage a reader to download software, we suggest you post links to the corresponding market Web Page as this allows developers to get proper feedback for their app.
There does appear to be a legal "grey area" with respect to some files, such as "proprietary" binary blobs that may or may not be licensed for distribution. As we are not legal professionals, our policy regarding such files is to err on the side of caution-- thus we ask that you do not directly link to such files or offer them as attachments. Instead, treat them as you would any other software referred to in the previous paragraph.
- Do not post any content that would be considered illegal under the federal laws of the United States or local laws in the state of California.
Regarding the legality of "Rooting" or "jail-breaking" devices, we support this practice only within the context by which it has been determined to be legal and legitimate by the US Congress and FCC.You may wish to consult with the United States Digital Millenium Copyright Act of 1998, specifically the section referencing "Exemption to Prohibition on Circumvention of Copyright Protection Systems for Access Control Technologies. It states in Section 201.40 – 2 Exemption to prohibition against circumvention, "Computer programs that enable wireless telephone handsets to execute software applications, where circumvention is accomplished for the sole purpose of enabling interoperability of such applications, when they have been lawfully obtained, with computer programs on the telephone handset." Also, you may wish to consult with the FCC's decision regarding "jailbreaking" devices.
Be sure to check your country's statutes if accessing RootzWiki.com from outside the United States.
III. Special Tags and Titles
- At RootzWiki, some users have been assigned special status that reflects their backgrounds, experience, or expertise in certain areas. These users' posts are deliniated via badges, or tags, which identify them as being specialists.
Developers: Developers are typically programmers who have made contributions in the past, frequently to many projects. Some developers are professional software engineers. However, many are hobbyists or part-timers. When you see the "developer" tag, RootzWiki has determined that this person generally knows what they're talking about and can be seen as an authority in software development. We encourage Developers to join us-- just fill the form out on the front page to let us know your background, and some of the projects with which you've been involved. If you do not hear a response within the first 48 hours, we are still reviewing your work and/or waiting for more work to come through.
Graphics Guru: A "Graphics Guru" is typically a visual artist known for their creativity, professionalism, and style. These are designers and graphic artists who are adept at creating everything from boot animations to icons to fonts to wallpaper collections. We identify these users by the quality of work they post and their willinginess to assist others in our community.
Themers: Themers, like Graphic Gurus, work to adapt a user's visual experience and their interaction with their devices. But whereas the Graphics Guru may focus on individual graphical elements, the themer brings these elements together into a singular interface. Themers are usually technically savvy and may be artists as well. They manipulate a device framework file-- and may even do some development to create an original interactive experience. We encourage users and Themers alike to create themes from scratch rather than simply use pre-fabricated "online kitchens".
IV. Language
- We ask that you use the English language on this site whenever possible. If you do not speak English, we assume you are using a translation service to read these rules. In that case, you may post your message in your native language. However, we do ask that you use a translator, such as Google Translator, to translate your message to English, then post the translation below your original post.
- Should you post in a language other than English, you may receive a gentle reminder to translate your message so others can understand it. Again, we respect speakers of all languages, but for practical reasons have selected English to be the default.
V. Do not spam or sell products / Outsourcing Rules
- Unsolicited advertisements in forum posts will be removed from the site and the poster will have their accounts suspended. If you wish to advertise with RootzWiki, contact email@example.com . Similarly, do not post on RootzWiki.com with the sole intent of selling a product or service, unless such intentions have been approved by the administrators of the site. Attempts to sell or advertise a product or service will be treated as spam, and your account may be suspended.
- "Spamming" does not solely refer to a bot or advertiser trying to sell their fabulous products; spamming can be a user posting nonsense, gibberish, or pointless posts repeatedly. This offense is grounds for account suspension or cancellation at the Administrators' discretion. We do tend to start with a 2-day suspension, but if the offense is egregious, an inappropriate post can lead to a permanent ban on the first offense.
- "Outsourcing" is permitted to an extent of moderator or administrator discretion. Linking to a site that requires registration or purchasing of a status to receive a download or file. This kind of attitude and action is not looked upon lightly by staff.
Posting outsourcing links everywhere is considered spamming and will more than likely lead to ban. Here is a list of some bannable offenses, but not limited to just these:
- Recruiting developers and users, if you see this kind of action please report it, while we understand people like finding team mates, do it publicly for it looks legitimate.
- Requiring a donation for a product, it isn't a donation if you require it.
- Posting threads that contain no actual content. Example: Posting mods/threads with false links to downloads, pictures, etc. While we believe in sharing and being open, we find it a hinderance to the user. Feel free to link to other sites, don't bother if all hyperlinks reroute to the same place, its annoying and counterproductive.
VI. PayPal and Donation Abuse
- Solicitation for donations is a very tricky area, and what is considered appropriate will ultimately be determined on a case-by-case basis by the Administrators. Donations are a legitimate way for people to express their appreciation for your work or contribution to a project. HOWEVER-- this is not an invitation to make minimal changes to someone else's project and then represent it as your work and ask for donations. For example-- Administrators frown on those who merely compile a project or simply rebrand a project and then put out their "donation sign". Such parasitic behavior falls under the category of "kanging" and is explored more thoroughly in the next section. In short, you may provide information about making donations, but if you have not made substantive contributions to whatever it is you are soliciting for, your post may be deleted at the Administrators' sole discretion.
- Abuse of donation buttons. It is hard to describe abuse but "we know it when we see it." Having more donation buttons than screenshots for a ROM/Kernel/Modification is considered abuse. This is a offense punishable by suspension or worse. The first offense is generally considered a warning. When contacted, you better revise your offending post.
- If you see a Donate button underneath the Developer's/Themers/Graphic Guru's etc. user information it means we have approved the user to place a "Donate" button without having to place it in every post. We understand your hard work is very important and you deserve more than just thanks, but we believe open source development does not revolve around donations.
Remember, if you do use a donate button, use it responsibly. We're watching you.
VII. Using other people's work (Stealing/"Kanging")
- If the site staff suspects you are offering images, source code, software, or any other content that is improperly licensed for redistribution, we will contact you to ensure you do have the rights to post and share the work. If you do not reply quickly and comply with our requests, we will remove and/or edit your offending thread(s) and post(s) regarding the work of others.
[Example] While not all Android components are open source, some ROMs are edited at a low-level of de-compiled Java code known as "Smali" and still resembles the Operating System/Version the phone came with. We promote developer's share their work with others trying to learn how to develop in either a kitchen or by building from source. While we encourage developers to share, they are not required to share, for the Mantra here is "An Open Forum for Open Minds".
- "Kanging" - Stealing others work and not giving credit is considered Kanging. Kanging is not necessarily a legal offense, but it is a social faux pas in our community.
- Acknowledgement -- Even if you legally take someone's source code, modify it, and offer the result in the forums, you MUST as a courtesy and in compliance with our rules acknowledge the extent of your contribution as well as the original source. For example, if you have re-themed the Cyanogenmod software, you are expected to say as much: "This is CM7 with a new theme."
- We respect and enforce all software distribution licenses such as the GPL and Apache license which specify under what specific conditions software and source code may (or must) be shared. It is incumbent on you to familiarize yourself with the terms and conditions of any license which you are using.
VIII. Harassment, Trolling and Entitlement
- Harassment is on a ZERO TOLERANCE policy. Any form of harassment whether sexual, racial, gender, religious or anything pertaining to personal belief, this is an Android forum not a debate stage.
- Trolling is also on a ZERO TOLERANCE policy. Trolling is used to get a personal and emotional response from someone else. In other words, remember RootzWiki is an open forum and you are welcome to leave if you cannot treat others with respect.
- Nobody here at RootzWiki is entitled to anything but a great experience brought to you by staff and other users. If you feel you are entitled to something from another user, feel free to leave. Once again this forum is open.
- Drama being introduced by obvious statements will be considered spamming and trolling, quality of life here is a key goal here and we intend to keep it that way. RootzWiki is not your soapbox, it is a forum and not one of debating.

brick wall on front of house is leaning
I was hoping someone would have some ideas on fixing a brick wall. We have a 3 or 4 foot wall on the front of ours house and part of it is cracked and leaning out. the wall looks like it may have falling down off its foundation a little, there is about a foot of cement in front of the bottom, it looks like it has fallen a little behind it like part of the foundation gave note: not the house foundation the form for the wall. we went to lowes and the guys idea was to use f26 construction glue and push the wall back - well we tried to push and it was not going to move. we would rather try to fix it, rather than replace it right now with the way the economy is.
anyone have any ideas
thank you
Can you upload a picture to one of the free hosting services and then link to it here?
Flagging this to watch the thread. I have a similar problem but concealment is not an issue.
It sounds like you have brick veneer siding that was set on an inadequate footer. It may be possible to higher a foundation jacking company to jack it up and stabilize the footer but would probably be cheaper top tear off and redo or tear off and replace with siding.
Brick falling off
A picture would help tremendously... But if its real brick, and bowing out, a cheap, temporary fix is installing 3" wide vertical steel plates every 3-6' (depends how bad the wall is). It won't look very good but should hold it in place until your ready to rebuild the wall
Removed link to company website

2017 Summer Reading For Kids: Diverse Stories For Young People
Creative industries like film and television are represent different viewpoints and upbringings. Now, children's literature is getting into the game.
The Washington region is still recovering from Monday's shootings at the Navy Yard, which left at least 12 people dead. Law enforcement authorities are still investigating the potential motives behind the rampage. Meanwhile, local leaders are focused on ensuring the safety of residents and returning disrupted portions of the city to normalcy. Kojo chats with D.C. Mayor Vincent Gray and D.C. Council Member Tommy Wells about the ongoing response to the shootings.
MR. KOJO NNAMDIFrom WAMU 88.5 at American University in Washington, welcome to "The Kojo Nnamdi Show," connecting your neighborhood with the world. Later in the broadcast, navigating the web may soon be more complicated. "Tech Tuesday" explores the upcoming launch of hundreds of new internet domains, from dot casino to dot green. But first, Washington a day after the shooting spree at the Navy Yard.
MR. KOJO NNAMDIAuthorities are still investigating yesterday's violence in the District, which left 13 people dead, including the suspected shooter. As law enforcement officials focused today on piecing together the motives behind the rampage, local leaders are trying to restore normalcy to the portions of the city that were shut down during Monday's chaos, all the while, ensuring the safety of residents, many of whom remain shaken a day later.
MR. KOJO NNAMDIJoining us now by phone to talk about this is Tommy Wells. He's a member of the D.C. Council. He represents Ward 6, the area of the city where yesterday's shooting at the Navy Yard took place. Councilmember Wells, thank you for joining us.
MR. TOMMY WELLSYes, of course.
NNAMDICouncilmember Wells, this is a part of the city that you represent. Much of it was on lockdown during the aftermath of the shooting spree. What's your focus today, and what do you see as your role for your constituents, who were affected by the shootings, and the people who work in your Ward who were affected by all of this?
WELLSWell, one of the roles, certainly, during, while the shooting and the crisis was happening was that, to provide as much information as possible to parents that were worried about their children in the schools that were under lockdown. Lockdown meant that you could not go get your child, could not get into the school. Nobody could. And, so we provided information to parents.
WELLSI also, yesterday, during this, I went, later in the afternoon, I went down to the senior buildings and checked in on them, because I knew that they may be frightened. And so, a lot of it is just to communicate and be sure everybody knows what's going on. Now today, and days moving forward, really, I think parents are gonna be talking to their children about what happened, especially children that are seven or eight years old and older.
WELLSAnd schools did a fabulous job of trying to have a normal day yesterday, even though they're under lockdown, so the children would not be frightened. And, so, we just move back to normalcy. It is a horrific thing that occurred, but we need to do our best to getting back to being a normal neighborhood.
NNAMDIYou are the Chairman of the Council's Public Safety Committee. Can you describe for us, if you will, how you were kept in the loop, because there were so many agencies involved in yesterday's action, both from a law enforcement and from an emergency services perspective, so that you could inform your constituents and perform your job as Chairman of the Public Safety Committee?
WELLSWell, I was called first thing in the morning by the Deputy Mayor of Public Safety, Paul Quander, to alert me to what was going on. And then, later in the day, when I found out that one of our police officers had been shot, and Kojo, a very heroic police officer. These officers, they sign up to be part of the active shooter team, meaning these are the officers that run towards the gunman while everyone, obviously, is fleeing for their own safety.
WELLSAnd we had an officer that was shot very severely in the leg. And then, we had our firefighters and paramedics really, you know, help treat this firefighter. I mean, the officer, get him to the hospital. He underwent many hours of surgery and we believe he's gonna be okay. The heroism of our officers, and our first responders is just breathtaking. I'm very proud of them, and our whole city needs to be proud of them, because the courage involved in extraordinary.
NNAMDIOur guest is Tommy Wells. He's a member of the D.C. Council who represents Ward 6. That's the area of the city where yesterday's shooting at the Navy Yard took place. If you have questions for Councilmember Wells, or comments, give us a call at 800-433-8850, or send email to firstname.lastname@example.com. Tommy Wells, a lot of people may be headed down to the baseball stadium today where a double header is scheduled.
NNAMDIWhat concerns do you have about activities of that scale returning to the area so soon after the shooting and so close to the scene of the ongoing investigation? What advice would you have for people?
WELLSWell, our police chief has announced all, you know, everything's clear, and that we would not be going down there if it were not safe. I think it's a beautiful day. I think we need to go down, everyone that, you know, is going down today for the double header, go enjoy it, being mindful of the losses that we've had, asking everyone to wear navy blue and gold as kind of a symbolic thought, a way to be thinking of those that we lost and what happened at the Navy Yard.
WELLSWe acknowledge it, but we've gotta get back to normal, and I think we can, so I think everyone should just go about their business. And, I think also the traffic will be fine down there. My understanding is already -- things have been cleared out. Take the Metro, if you can, and enjoy the day. Enjoy the game, but at the same time, as we all are, thinking about the victims and the families of the shooting.
NNAMDIThis is a neighborhood in which a lot of energy has been spent making it a hub for commercial activity, recreational activity, night life. What concerns might you have about how the shootings might affect the arc, so to speak, of that neighborhood?
WELLSWell, you know, we're -- this is one of the nicest emerging new neighborhoods in the country. And it's a mixed income neighborhood. It's a neighborhood that has three new parks. Two of them are world class, two of the nicest new parks on the eastern seaboard. It's a place where you can go recreate, live, work, play. And it's a neighborhood -- this will not be any setback at the neighborhood. We know that we're a federal city.
WELLSThere's three military bases in my ward alone. Fort McNair, the marine base, you know, on 8th Street, and, of course, the Navy Yard. And we're very aware that we're a federal city. We support, you know, the people that come here to work, on behalf of our country, and we have a very sophisticated, you know, populous here in D.C. We're gonna move on, but we're always aware of the roles and responsibilities that we have being the nation's capital.
NNAMDITommy Wells, thank you so much for joining us.
WELLSThank you very much, Kojo.
NNAMDITommy Wells is a member of the D.C. Council. Her represents Ward 6, the area of the city where yesterday's shooting, at the Navy Yard, took place. Joining us now, by phone, is the mayor of the District of Columbia, Mayor Vincent Gray. Mayor Gray, thank you for joining us.
MAYOR VINCENT GRAYThank you for having me, Kojo.
NNAMDIMayor Gray, the investigation has been taken over by federal authorities. What is your immediate focus today as the investigation continues and that part of the city remains a crime scene?
GRAYWell, we're continuing to be supportive. We were very involved, of course yesterday. I was out there, you know, starting very early yesterday morning until about 11:00 last night. Today, we are talking to lots of people who want to know what our involvement was yesterday, what we did. We're talking about our impressions of what happened yesterday to the extent you can. You know, we don't really know what the motive is yet.
GRAYBut, you know, what our impressions are, why this may have been done. And then, of course, there are lots of people who want to talk again about gun control, which is a huge subject for us. And it certainly would be great, Kojo, if we could get something done on this. I frankly thought, in the wake of the Sandy Hook situation, that we would have seen something nationally, but we haven't.
NNAMDIWe haven't, and the general impression one gets, Mr. Mayor, is that, as a result of these events occurring, we are becoming a culture that may be becoming inured to this kind of event. In a way in which we both kind of expect and kind of accept these events, that we don't seem to mourn them as long as we did in past. Is that a concern of yours?
GRAYAbsolutely a concern of mine, and, you know, we've seen so many situations where people just harden themselves against the realities. But, you know, we're talking about the destruction of life. We lost, you know, 13 lives yesterday. We lost the 12, the people who were the shot, and then the shooter himself was killed, of course. Hopefully, you know, this happening in the nation's capital, this happening on a military base, perhaps this will rekindle some of the efforts to bring about legitimate, you know, real gun control in this nation.
GRAYYou know, why can't we do background checks on people as a national policy? What about the ban of assault rifles? You know, when you go back and look at the second amendment of the Constitution, this can't possibly be what our founding fathers had in mind. And when you listen to people talk about guns, they don't talk about this kind of carnage that we see in the streets and what we saw yesterday.
GRAYThey talk about people being able to defend themselves and, you know, legitimately hunt. That is not exactly what we're talking about here with what happened yesterday and what's happened in so many other instances in this nation.
NNAMDIIf, in fact, this event fails to generate a new conversation, if it fails to generate new initiatives or new laws on gun control, what do you think that says about the state of our nation today?
GRAYWell, it's hard to know, really, what it says. It's hard for me to believe that, seemingly, one organization, which is the NRA, can exert the kind of control over this country that it has, Kojo. We've got so many legislators who seem to cower in the face of NRA, and when they stand up and speak, people simply respond to it. I think, though, the voices have to continue. You know, we've had the issues around Jim Brady. We've had organizations that have emerged from that. I think we've got to continue the conversation because what is the alternative?
GRAYTo let people continue to kill themselves in this fashion? You know, there certainly are other issues involved in this, like the mental health issues. You know, like how does someone get a credential to get on a base when he has such a checkered past? But, at the end of the day, it still raises questions about the control of these kinds of weapons in this country.
NNAMDIBack to the investigation at hand, Mayor Gray. Where would you direct residents who may have seen something that could contribute to the investigation of the shooting?
GRAYWell, certainly call the, you know, call M.P.D. They can call 911 or 311, or call the FBI. The FBI, of course, now is taking the lead in this investigation. And I think the number is 1-800-CALL-FBI. And, of course, you can pull the numbers from that, but 1-800-CALL-FBI. And, again, if you see something, say something. If somebody saw something that is germane to this investigation, please step up.
GRAYWe did have people yesterday who stepped up, thinking that they saw other suspects who were involved in this, and those leads were diligently followed. They did not prove to yield anything, which I'm glad of that. But, if there are other aspects of this investigation, or knowledge of this gentleman, Aaron Alexis, who was the shooter, that people know of, please let the authorities know and those leads will be followed immediately.
NNAMDIWe talked with Councilmember Tommy Wells just before we talked to you. He represents that part of the city. Do you have any specific concerns about the security of that part of the city? It's a bustling commercial hub there now. It's got a baseball stadium, a lot of people working in that corner of the city.
GRAYWell, it's true, but remember that this was a man who had, you know, been given credentials to go into the Navy Yard and work. You know, it has been one of the safest installations, at the federal level, in the country. I just had a meeting, it was coincidental of course, but I had a meeting on Friday with the Commandant of the Navy Yard, and one of the things that we talked about was the security of the Navy Yard.
GRAYAnd we were both, you know, admiring the fact that there has been -- there had been nothing to breach the security of the Navy Yard, even though, in a number of instances, they have events there that bring a lot of people onto the Navy Yard. But there had been nothing to suggest that people could be in periled. And, again, you know, this is a situation where a man had the identification, the credentials to come in the Navy Yard and work.
GRAYSo, that's where we've gotta start this. I don't worry about, you know, what's gonna go on in the immediate area. What we need to worry about is who are we committing into these installations?
NNAMDINavy Yard is the oldest military installation in the country. Most Washingtonians have, at some point or the other, participated in some event at the Navy Yard. Mayor Gray, thank you so much for joining us.
GRAYThank you, Kojo.
NNAMDIVincent Gray is the Mayor of the District of Columbia. He joined us to talk about the aftermath of the tragedy at the Navy Yard yesterday. We are going to take a short break. When we come back, it's "Tech Tuesday." Navigating the web may soon be more complicated. We explore the upcoming launch of hundreds of new internet domains from dot casino to dot green. Dot Kojo, anyone? I'm Kojo Nnamdi.

It's one of the most beloved awards shows of the season and last night (January 25) a slew of Tinseltown A-listers were in the house for the 21st Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards.
He got his start playing a creeper named David Wooderson in the film "Dazed and Confused," and now Matthew McConaughey's audition tape has surfaced.
He's always happy to show off his gorgeous gal and Matthew McConaughey proudly paraded Camila Alvess in front of the photographers at the 72nd Annual Golden Globe Awards tonight (January 11).
At 45 years old he's already had a prolific career in acting so it's no wonder Matthew McConaughey was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on Monday afternoon (November 17).
Joined by his wife Camila Alves and kiddos Levi, Vida and Livingston, the "Dallas Buyers Club" Oscar-winner was in goot spirits as he addressed the crowd.
Showing some love for their Chinese fans, Matthew McConaughey joined Anne Hathaway for an "Interstellar" press conference in Shanghai on Monday (November 10).
Along with director Christopher Nolan and producer Emma Thomas, the "How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days" hunk and the "Princess Diaries" dame were in good spirits as they fielded questions and posed for photos at the Peninsula Shanghai hotel.
Always up for a good time, Matthew McConaughey continued his promotional tour with a stop at Rockefeller Center in New York City last night (November 6).
The handsome "Dallas Buyers Club" hunk was in good spirits as he appeared on "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" to plug his new movie "Interstellar" and play a round of "Facebreakers."
He's accomplished so much in his 45 years on the earth and Matthew McConaughey is sitting pretty on the cover of People magazine.
The "Lincoln Lawyer" hunk tells the publication that one of the most formative moments of his life occurred when his father Jim passed away in 1992.
With the November 7th theatrical release date just a few days away, the cast of "Interstellar" took their epic flick to New York City last night (November 3).

At least 19 elite firefighters have been killed in the US state of Arizona, while battling a fierce wildfire. Much of the western US has experienced record temperatures in recent days.
According to authorities, the firefighters died on Sunday afternoon while fighting the Yarnell Hill wildfire, north of the city of Phoenix. The Arizona State Forestry Division had earlier declared 19 firefighters missing but it has not been confirmed whether the dead were these same firefighters.
A local fire chief from the city of Prescott, Arizona, said the dead were specially-trained "hotshot" firefighters who had been forced to deploy to their fire shelters after being caught up in the blaze, which has forced evacuations of at least 50 homes.
The fire shelters are tent-like structures meant to shield from flames and heat.
"The entire hotshot crew had been killed by the fire," said Prescott fire chief Dan Fraijo.
The fire broke out on Friday, and has covered 800-1000 acres, according to forestry officials. News site the Arizona Republic reported the fire had still not been contained by Sunday night, local time.
The western United States has been suffering under a heatwave in recent days. According to the Los Angeles Times, the Death Valley in eastern California recorded a temperature of 54 degrees (129 Fahrenheit), the hottest ever in the US.

Comment on Islamification of Britain by k williams.
To his dismay & disgust they ALL called him & explained that on attempting to join the Henley retained firemen, they were told that Oxfordshire were only recruiting ETHNICS & FEMALES!!! This in Henley where the only coloured face is to be seen in the local Indian & Chinese restaurants! Needless to say there were no recruits found in henley that day, despite having, to my friends knowledge, at least 6 fit young WHITE British men willing to join & help their local community!!!
I am afraid that this is the same story in both the Police & Fireservices around the country!
This is why more & more British people are fed up with being treated as second class citizens & are turning to the BNP!!

Foster City Wedding In December
"Crowne Plaza Hotel, Foster City, CA Our wedding was beautiful. Carolyn Woods was the coordinator we worked with. She provided us with all the questions we have and catered to our requests as well. It was a great venue for us since we got married in December, the weather was a big factor to us. We needed a place where we know we are free from rain and that can hold our 400+ guests. We also had the reception at the same place. They were able to turn the place around in an hour from ceremony to reception. The banquet room was definitely beautiful. It was a great location, it was in between SF and east bay."

Sailfish Head Baseball Coach Gary Carter Passes Away From Brain Cancer
February 16, 2012
Written By: Michael Brown, Assistant A.D. for Communications
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla.- After a nearly nine-month battle with brain cancer, Palm Beach Atlantic University baseball head coach Gary Carter passed away on Thursday, February 16th, 2012 at 4:10 pm. Nicknamed "The Kid" for his infectious smile and enthusiasm, Carter spent the last two plus seasons coaching baseball for the NCAA Division II Sailfish following a Hall of Fame playing career in Major League Baseball. He was 57 years old.
Diagnosed with four small brain tumors in May of 2011, Carter had been receiving intense treatments of chemotherapy and other medical treatments as his type of cancer was deemed inoperable.
Carter leaves behind an incredible legacy in many circles for his athletic abilities, charitable endeavors, and unyielding faith.
His most recent career path led him to join his daughter and son-in-law, Kimmy and Kyle Bloemers, at Palm Beach Atlantic University where Kimmy serves the University as its head softball coach and Kyle is an Assistant Athletic Director.
Inducted into the Major League Baseball Hall of Fame in 2003 following a brilliant 19-year playing career, Carter is known as one of the greatest catchers to ever play. Spending a majority of his career playing for the Montreal Expos and New York Mets, Carter helped lead the Mets to a World Series Championship in 1986 as he started a two-out rally in Game Six to help propel the Mets to an improbable victory in seven games.
Following his playing career Carter went into coaching and managing within the minor league ranks and independent baseball before settling in as the Sailfish head coach in October of 2009.
Carter's impact on Palm Beach County will forever be remembered as he has made it his permanent home since 1982.
The founder of the Gary Carter Foundation, Carter was instrumental in raising funds and awareness for such causes as juvenile diabetes, children with Autism, and in providing education resources to local schools.
Gary is survived by his wife, Sandy with whom he was married to for 37 years. The couple has three children in Christy Kearce, Kimmy Bloemers, and D.J Carter. They also have three grandchildren in C.J. Kearce, Brady Kearce, and Alyse Bloemers.
Funeral arrangements are currently being made by the family with more information to be released at a later date.

Publication Type: Abstract Only
Publication Acceptance Date: 5/22/2002
Publication Date: 6/22/2002
Citation: N/A Interpretive Summary:
Technical Abstract: Iron is essential for plants; Fe-deficiency chlorosis occurs in many regions where susceptible crops are grown, or where potentially toxic metals have accumulated in acidic soils. Such metals induce Fe-deficiency in both dicots and Poaceae species, but the mechanism appears to be different because of the method these species use to accumulate soil Fe. For Poaceae, Ni, Cu, and Zn can form chelates with phytosiderophores, can inhibit dissolution of soil Fe, and can displace Fe from exocellular phytosiderophores, thereby interfering with Fe dissolution and uptake. If ferric-phytosiderophores are not formed in the rhizosphere, chlorosis of Poaceae will result. On the other hand, additions of hydrous Fe oxides can improve metal adsorption by soils and reduce metal uptake (presume unchanged pH). We have used Fe additions to reduce Ni phytotoxicity in smelter contaminated soils; Fe and limestone together induced Mn deficiency in organic soils, but when Mn was also supplied, soil metals were effectively remediated. Metal toxicity is prevented by raising soil pH. Details of metals speciation in relation to Ni-induced Fe-deficiency will be presented. In general, Poaceae were more resistant to soil Ni than dicots, and Ni inhibited both uptake and translocation of Fe by soybean. Another role of plant Fe has been found to be critical to Cd risk to humans when subsistence rice farmers consume home grown rice. Rice is such a poor supply of Fe and Zn that Cd absorption is greatly increased compared to other kinds of diets. Fe deficiency in particular causes increased Cd absorption and retention in the small intestine. Thus Fe and metals interact from soil chemistry to plant physiology to human nutrition and these interactions should be considered when one attempts to diagnose and solve plant nutrition and environmental metals problems.

First, no one told me about the transvestite "waitress" at El Milagro
He/she waited our table. I was already planning to just order a to-go order and leave the group, because something came up. He/she was almost convincing as a she, but the lack of any breats or ass, along with broad shoulders, first tipped me. My friends said, "Oh, yeah, that's a guy. We used to eat here when he dressed a lot less like a female."
So, of course, each time he/she came to the table, I involuntarily stared out of curiosity.
Finally, he/she came to table to inform me my to-go was ready. I stepped to the front counter to pay. He/she was there to ring it up. Handed me the tab and held onto my hand for what seemed like an eternity. Staring me deeply in the eyes in a way like someone does in a movie hitting on someone. A seductive stare. I finally got out of the grip and he/she said "Wass jour name?" I told he/she the name. He/she repeated it in a "sexy" manner, never releasing eye contact. I felt uncomfortable as hell, and yet simultaneously, it may have moved.
I hope this post in some way closer to the NAFOOM spirit than recent threads have been.
ETA: His/her demeanor in the hitting-on-me scene was like how a stripper acts toward you. Except this time apparently for real. With a dick.

Kinedyne Triples Canadian Sales Team
TORONTO — New Jersey-based cargo securement manufacturer and distributor Kinedyne has a pair of new sales execs to introduce.
Kinedyne's growing Canadian market demand fostered the additions of Kenny Newman and Craig Schoonmaker, who join Jeff Stevens as Canadian Account Executives. Newman will handle Eastern Canada, while Schoonmaker is now in charge of Ontario's branch. Stevens remains as Midwest Canada's Account Executive.
Brought in to service Quebec, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island and Nova Scotia, Newman's 12 years of sales experience comes with extensive industrial and construction market knowledge. Schoonmaker brings 20 years of both Canadian and American experience along with a reputation for excellence and a dedication to Kinedyne's hands-on product education.
Allan Boomer, Kinedyne's Canadian Sales Manager, will oversee the trio. With new truck and trailer sales on the rise in Canada, Boomer said that the two new hires will ensure Kinedyne customers have the sales support they need.
"It's always exciting to bring on board new talent who share comprehensive product education," Boomer said.
The move comes a year after The Heico Companies, whose yearly sales total over $2-billion, acquired Kinedyne.

need some help building my 400 sbc :)
Hey guys whats up tony here. I recently bought a motor from a guy to put in my truck for 500 heard it run and drove it before i paid for it. Well when i went to pick it up i noticed it had 3 freeze plugs on the side of the block so i ran the numbers right then and there (3951511) said 4 bolt mains online. Tore it apart to put a little work into it all the pistons are dish but say 30 on top of them all does this mean its bored. 30¿?¿? Then i pulled the pan and it was a 2 bolt. I got all excited cuz i kept reading 4 bolts wernt as strong. So the truck i want to put this in is
1982 chevy k30
4:10 gears.
4 speed manual trans
44" tires.
I want the motor to make good power as i read that i shouldnt rev past 5k witch is fine cuz i dont mud race but i do drive this truck as a daily to. And my 355 sits at 2400 rpm at 65. The gears should be fine. My 355 had no problem breaking the rears loose
I was at the local junk yard today and found a set of L31 vortech heads. 1255806 ??? I believe how will these perform on my 400 or 406. After i drill the steam holes?¿ im unsure of cam im going to run. I dont want to think to far or to big. I want to put my money at the right spots to have a strong pulling motor and some ponies. Thanks for all your help
thats a myth u can run the 400 chevy past 5,000 rpms,u run mine past 7,000 rpms,just need good internals to do it.the 2 bolt block is the stronger of the two.them vortec heads should give a good performance boost over the 400 ones.im at 436 cu inches and making 630 hp in my 400 block,you just need to have the cylinder wall thickness checked.mine was at .300 anything mast .200 u can build about 500 hp with and be safe.
Nice nice im liking wat im hearing. Should i do any kind of porting or polishing? At least gasket match?? What are your ideas on cams?? I dont understand cams at all iv read and read and i just dont understand
yes if u can afford to port and polish it will surely help,it will wake them vortec heads up considerablyalso if u wanna put big cam in it u will need new springs to handle the higher lift,how much horsepower u wanna make,im running a compcams solid roller at 600 intake and ,610 on exhaust,but im also running RHS racing heads 220cc.the biggest and most important thing is not to run the stock crank,get one of the eagle nodular steel cranks there only about 200 bucks it will greatly help it stay alive.just let me know what kind of hp u wanna make and i can recommend a good cam,and if u want roller or flat tappet cam.
Also with the block already being .030" over I would take it apart and check the bores to make sure you can reuse them. I have never heard great things about cutting 400s past .030" without it being sonic checked.
400 beast
yeah u wanna be sure to have it sonic checked,that determines the cylinder wall thickness if u weant to build high horsepower they need to be atleast.200 thickness in all cylinsder walls,yeah ur right i wouldnt port them heads myself unless ur very expierenced at it,vortec heads are hard to port because they already flow so well,but if u can afford to have them ported by a professional then it would help.i would defanetly haqve new valves and springs put in with new valve seals and guides.then u have no wories if ur cam will be ok to run in there,and if u can afford the machine work i would have the eagle billet 4 bolt main caps installed.then u can make some serious horsepower and not worry about ur block falling to pieces.yeah 550 lift is more than u will ever need,plus them heads wont flow very well beyond 550.
what exactly are your goals with this truck? depending on that the limited lift may not be an issue. but in order to choose a cam the trucks usage needs to be figured out. you already supplied tire size , rear gear ratio, and transmission which are all key players. r u rebuilding the bottom end? or taking it apart, cleaning, and measuring everything to make sure its good? or just leaving it as is? from what I read the steam holes arent really an issue or concern but I could be wrong and hopefully someone steps in and can clarify that. I have actually been thinking about doing a Vortec headed 406 for awhile. just waiting to trip across a decent block.
i heard the motor run and it has barely any miles on it sence rebuild i honestly dont even think the rings are broken in yet. the crank is not stock. but it doesnt not have any numbers on it. iv done port and polish work before but only 2 sets of heads and allot of quads and dirtbike. i did take the bottom end apart completly the cam bearings rod bearings and mains dont have a single scratch in them. in fact the point thats at the tips of bearings when you get them new was still there !! the cam that appears to be in it seems like a stock gm replacement but im unsure and didnt look to far into it because i want to beef it up a little im not looking to get up to 500 horse. i just want to make decent power but still be able to get up and go at highway speeds.
i did rip apart the heads. the heads btw came off a 98 tahoe with only 28xxx miles on it that was rolled over. i put new valve seals in ran my engine wire brushes threw all the ports to clean it up a little had some surface rust. i opened up the exhaust ports a little bit to increase flow coming out. while i was in the cleaning stage i went ahead and drilled the steam holes in the heads. was allot easier then i made myself think. i just really dont want to under power it but at the same time i dont want to overkill it with a cam. id rather not do the lift increase at this time. funds are limited working parttime due to no work. id like to run roller and have a whole gen 3 roller 355 in my truck now that i can steal the lifters for but its more work then im looking for at the time. i really just need a ballpart with numbers for the cam..... idk what to do like i said im cam illiterate
re: need some help building my 400 sbc :)
Hey bud....sounds like you're gonna have one hell of a motor when you're finished. Comp cams make an above stock cam that can be used w/ the current spring set up on your vortecs. The part # is 12-246-3 & it can be purchased at Engine Parts Warehouse or Summit for under $150. It has an intake & exhaust lift of .490. That's about as high as you wanna go (although you could actually go up to .498). You will, however, need to use a 2200-2500 stall converter. You also need to be very mindful of the type of pistons you run w/ the vortec heads. If you stick w/ the dish pistons your compression ratio should be fine but if you upgrade to flat tops you won't be able to use pump gas. Good luck!!!
found a set of L31 vortech heads. 1255806 ???
I thought vortech heads had casting numbers ending in 906 or 062. You might want to double check that you have what you think you have.
yeaaa i forgot the 2 on the end i know what i have REAL vortec heads only have 4 intake bolts on each head. anyway the pistons are dish. i do not need a convertor im running a 4 speed manual top loader ?rockcrusher... very low ended trans
cam choice
ok now that i have an idea what ur looking for,yes i do build engines mostly for sprint cars but have built a few truck ones also,mostly for family.im liking the lunati vodoo cams as i have had good luck with them,lunati part#60103 thats an awesome cam put that in my brothers 406 last year and he loves it,its in a 75 chevy truck with 12"of lift and 36"tires.so check it out and tell me what u think it has good torque down low and awesome power on top.my brother uses his truck for mud running competitions.
Just my 2 cents FWIW,
You said it doesn't have the stock crank. While you have it apart measure the rods to see if they are the stock or not. 5.565" stock rods are not recommended for high rpm that the Lunati Voodoo part#60103 1800-6200rpm range is recommended. That rpm range is usually based on a 350 and you can drop it a few hundred rpm for a 400, but the lift(504") is still too much for a set of stock vortec valve guides/springs/retainers.
With those gears/tires and a cruise rpm of 2400rpm IMO you would be much better off with a cam that has a lower range for a lot more low end throttle response and torque and be done with about the same rpm as you stated in your first post"5K".
I've used a Comp Cams 260 High Energy grind in a 350 and know that the rpms are limited to about 5200 by the springs ability to control the valves, but it pulls great from idle(630) all the way to the red line. It only has .447" lift which will work with stock vortec heads.
With a 400 you could probably use a Com Cams 268 High Energy( Summit PN CCA-12-210-2 for specs). It has a .454" lift that should be safe with your guides/seals, but needs to be verified by mock up. The 1500-5500 rpm range will somewhat act as a safeguard/limiter to keep from throwing a rod due to excessive rpm.
Also you really need to find out the volume of your piston dish to be able to calculate your compression ratio. Also measure how far in the hole the piston is at TDC. You could get a large syringe along with a flat piece of plastic and measure both volumes at the same time to input into one of the many online CR calculators. You really need to do this before you buy the cam. Your CR may be too high to use the cam I mentioned. The only way to know is to measure before its too late! 9.5:1 is the highest I would run with the 268 in a 400 with iron heads. Like I said, just my 2 cents.
Good luck,

Red Wine Bagna Cauda with Crudités
This garnet sauce is Chris Cosentino's take on the classic Piedmontese anchovy-and-olive-oil dip, enriched here with red wine. Italian for "hot bath," bagna cauda is served warm with crudités. This version, with both oil-packed and marinated anchovies, doubles as a terrific sauce for grilled meat.
