Product Questions
Its easy to have it mixed and ready to go, but there isn't any chance you can mix it as you need it with most salts. The Red Sea Coral Pro in particular actually recommends that you use it within a few hours of mixing it. Letting it sit won't hurt it, but it will get a little cloudy the longer it sits.
Ro/DI water is recommended whenever adding water to salt mix to start with pure water. Feel free to let us know if you have any further questions!
As of right now we carry the 55 gallon bucket and 175 gallon bucket. We don't yet have the new 175 gallon (48.5 lb) refill bag.
If it is mixed longer than 4 hours before adding to the tank there is potential for the precipitation to occur. They recommend only mixing as needed before use. Feel free to let us know if you have any further questions!
We have had great luck with the Red Sea Coral Pro with the added elements where it has reduced the amount we need to dose for trace and calcium, alkalinity. Another great option we have used is the HW reefer. Both will have added elements to help support more diverse tank. Feel free to let us know if you have any further questions!
You can use Red Sea Coral Pro salt with a fish only tank if you wanted to. It does have some elevated elements which you won't really "need" and does cost a bit more than the standard Red Sea salt.
If it is mixed longer than 4 hours before adding to the tank there is potential for the precipitation to occur. They recommend only mixing as needed before use. Feel free to let us know if you have any further questions!
If your just starting a new tank and you don't currently have any corals, then I would suggest using the regular Red Sea Salt. The coral pro salt has elevated levels of calcium and alkalinity that wouldn't be of use without corals in your tank.
Full Details
Unlike the natural reef environment, which has an immeasurable reservoir of all 57 elements, a reef aquarium is an artificial environment that is constantly affected by coral growth and other ongoing biological processes. Red Sea Coral Pro Salt Mix is the result of years of research. Formulated for use with RO water, the unique Sodium Chloride harvested from the Red Sea Reef contains optimally balanced ratios between calcium, alkalinity and magnesium. Coral Pro Salt Mix contains elevated levels of these elements for accelerated coral growth.
Coral Pro Salt Mix is designed to provide the biologically balanced, elevated levels of the foundation elements (Calcium, Magnesium & Carbonates) necessary for sustainable, accelerated growth and enhanced vitality of all corals. Coral Pro salt mix is ideal for reef aquariums, in particular for LPS and SPS corals and growing out coral frags. Main parameters at a salinity of 33.0 ppt are: KH - 11.8-12.2 °dKH, Ca - 430 - 450 mg/l, Mg 1280 - 1340 mg/l.
Awesome salt By Kaleb on 6/9/2017Kaleb would recommend this product to a friendBy far the best salt I've ever used. I've tried reef crystals and crystal sea and this salt by far is better.
Great Product By lbigger on 4/10/2017lbigger would recommend this product to a friendSwitched to this from an instant ocean brand and my corals are looking better than ever, and I like how the salt doesn't have to sit all night to mix up properly!
Dirty By Reefman on 4/9/2017Reefman wouldn't recommend this product to a friendOne of the dirtiest salts I have used..does not.mix clear and levels don't test what they advertise
Excellent By John on 3/1/2017John would recommend this product to a friendI've been using it for 3 years. Easy to use and consistent results.
Great salt mix By wolfecs on 1/29/2017wolfecs would recommend this product to a friendHigh quality salt mix. You get what you pay for. I can say I have jad a few alkalinity and magnesium but nothing above what that bucket displays.
Great salt By John on 1/18/2017John would recommend this product to a friendI switched from io reef crystals. This is my 3rd tube of Red Sea. I noticed results in my sps growt with in 3 5g water changes on my 40g system.
Good Salt - Clean By Jason on 1/14/2017Jason would recommend this product to a friendUsed for a while with no issues. Easy to mix with water, just make sure you use the right amount.
Upgrade Now By Golden Pond on 1/14/2017Golden Pond would recommend this product to a friendOk I used Salt Crystals for forever. I started seeing a decline in my reef. Tested and dosed different Trace Elements and no improvement. I can say I did a routine 30% water change with Red Sea Coral Pro Salt Mix and immediately saw great results. My SPS never looked better. I'm Sold for life.
salt great shipping mmm not so much By Christi on 12/29/2016Christi would recommend this product to a friendReceived my order.. box looked fine but when I opened the box and looked in.. well the bucket the salt was in was completely smashed. Lucky the bag the salt was in only had a few holes and I had a spare empty bucket I could slowly and carefully pour the salt into.. I do not know what happened but I was happy I could save my salt...... I think next time I will just pay the extra and go to my LFS and get my salt....
Great Salt Mix By 68Stang on 12/29/201668Stang would recommend this product to a friendI have tried several different brands all needing several hours or overnight to clear up before adding to the tank. Red Sea Coral Pro Salt Mix mixes clear. I brought the mix to temp in an hour and the mix was very clear. Great salt.
Great Salt By Mark on 12/27/2016Mark would recommend this product to a friendI have used many brands in the the 14 or so years of keeping saltwater tanks. I have been using RS Coral Pro for just under a year now and I am happy with the results. Previously, I was using Aquavitro Salinity, with good results as well, but the RSCP is less expensive. First off, I want to address the storage time frame. I fill a 32 gallon Brute trash can with 25 gallons of fresh RO/DI water. Second, I put a heater and a powerhead in the mixing can. I slowly add the desired amount, I keep my tanks at 1.026 or 35 ppt, and I do this approximately 24 hours before my water changes. I have never had precipitation in my mixing vat or my tank. My tank is always crystal clear.
I have great growth with , soft, LPS, SPS, and clams. I do a 25gal water change on my 90gal tank every week. I only dose 2 part once a week, usually mid week between water changes. That is what I do. I like this salt and I am sure you will too.
Wonderful By Dahay78 on 12/19/2016Dahay78 would recommend this product to a friendI love this salt. I was using IO salt mix before and had to test my water so many times to adjust my parameters. We red sea salt pro testing is limited and i do not have to wait 24 hours to use. My corals and fish are alway happy!!! And i spend less time on maintenance. More time to enjoy my tanks.

Cuban Tree Frog is Becoming a Nuisance in Florida
Published April 29th, 2013
Loading Video...
FLORIDA- It's native land of Cuba, the Bahamas and the Cayman Islands is a long way from North Central Florida and experts say the Cuban Tree Frog is one animal causing big problems.
Local environmental experts are encouraging citizens to get rid of the intruders as soon as possible
UF Associate Professor of Wildlife Ecology, Dr. Steve Johnson says, "Here in Fl it should not be here, it eats a lot of the same things as our native frogs,so it could be competing for food more importantly it's a predator of native frogs, it eats them and has contributed the local declines of native tree frogs."
Experts don't recommend handling Cuban Tree Frogs bare handed because of the slime they secrete on their back. It's a skin irritant that can also trigger asthma.
According to Johnson Cuban tree frogs can also get into utility boxes and toilets causing power outages and clogged drains.

I've watched your build for Years now, it's going to be a show-stopper, you definitely have an eye for detail! (one of my favorite details is your Console)
My favorite Color is Candy Apple Red, so I guess you'll know where my vote lies-you've done a great job with that Car-
I like the green you used on the engine.
Thanks guys!
I love green but side by side the burgundy met really grabs your attention and accents all the curves real nice!
I will have to repaint engine if i go that route but no biggie!
Love you guys builds keep the pics comming heres a few shots of my ole heap
I would have loved to have made more progress on the car but all the lil things turn into weaks, example flipping the bumpers new mounts new valnce panels etc.
Smoothing door jams turned into a month lol did away with the body lips that wrap around the doors and trunk etc.
Butttt id rather do it now than be at a show chilin in my chair and go damnnnn i wish i would of done that or changed this!
No rush and this way im building it the way "I" like it no manual to follow or show deadline!
Just good ole fashion Building "FUN"
95% of car has been built by myself. if the hobby isnt fun time to by a new vette or something!
That detail is what makes the difference from the super nice cars and the outstanding cars! I love detail, I love going it, I love looking at it. I have been stopped in my tracks looking at cars that I personally don't even like, you know a style that I really don't give a crap about but the guy did such a nice job with such detail I am drawn to it.
And when I say "guy" I mean it, very seldom do you get more than one guy in a shop with the crazy nut job attention to detail that I love. It is very seldom a shop, it is usually a guy who maybe not even a pro, someone with PASSION. And passion overrides education and experience every time! It will take the guy way longer, yes, but with the passion he can overcome a LOT of what the "pro" has.
I have seen it way too many times, some guy building a car in a garage while he is an accountant or something during the day and his car is OUTSTANDING sitting next to the hot shot who has built a ton of cars.
You can see your passion, it is inspiring.
Makes me want to chop mine up and start over! That truly is very clean and neat looking! Even places where most people will never see, it's still nicer than many cars are in the obvious places! Nice work, and I love that you're doing most of it yourself!
Ditto to all of the above. It is great to see guys coming to the forum for help and great to see how much unselfish help is offered. To see members of the forum posting their progress with so much attention to detail has to be a big motivator to them. What you are doing Pro 48 is not about who can spend the most money to build a great car but who has the patience and determination to make it happen. I love seeing what you are doing. Keep the pictures and progress reports coming.
John L
Wife said her brakes felt "funny", so jacked up the car and checked everything. Rear shoes on her little Mazda were getting thin, so put a new pair on to make her happy.
Then I tore all three inner door panels off the '69 Burb and did some maintenance on all the moving parts. Locks and door handles were getting a little heavy, so I lubed them all up and reassembled them. Working like new again now.
Nope, I did just the job I always did and that wheel look just as good as the fender and cowl and hood that I painstakingly sanded out every speck of texture after every 5 coats of lacquer.
Personally in my opinion (sorry to those who don't feel this way , nothing personal) but I feel a real nice car is one that you could take apart and put it in a car show. I mean it, it should be show worthy with the door panels and seats and carpet out of the car! I am not talking psychopath crazy like cut and buffed floor and inside the doors but nice, it should all be painted as if someone was going to see it that way. I don't care if it isn't going to be seen, it should be NICE.
Does every car need to be done like that, no not on your life my Gran Sport sure as heck isn't. But if you want a real special car, that is what you do. And for goodness sakes the "show cars" had better be built like that or they are a poser.
I will never forget seeing an AMBR winner at Roy Brizios shop a few years after it had won. I will never forget this, the trunk interior trim was out of it. There was a little square tubing brace or two running across the back of the body behind the seat. It was BARE METAL! I am not making this up, this six figure car (we are talking a car that won in the late seventies or early eighties) probably one of the first six figure hot rods. The underside of the trunk lid was red primer everywhere that was covered with the beautiful upholstered panel. The paint ended right where it would be covered with overspray falling over the primer. There was a few wires going to something that weren't wrapped in any way and were simply black taped every couple of feet across these tubing braces that weren't even painted!
I was blown away, absolutely blown away, in my opinion it was a shock.
Nope, there is no reason for that. And that is the coolest thing about detail, it's FREE! Anyone in their garage with very few tools can blow away some shop built car simply because you have more passion to put the extra mile into it.
Like I said, I applaud those who apply themselves and build the outstanding car because they have the passion to make it outstanding.
Well tonight was for working on my wife's mothers day gift and I pretty much got that done. And I started looking at my Gran Sport and had to get into it a little. I am to a point that I am sort of happy with the top and window fit on the left side, I now can go to the other side and knock it out in no time. I have learned what I need on the left side and get it done. I am not real happy but with aftermarket rubbers, I think this is as good as it gets. I will be real close to putting that top on now!
I got out there for my five minutes ended up spending about an hour. Got my turn table running with a vintage Santana and then Lynyrd Skynyrd Live albums and couldn't stop working. I am getting the top and windows pretty close. It is amazing how much time this is taking. Working on late model cars I could put 25 doors on and align them for what this top and windows are taking.
But it's getting better, I am trying every trick in the book and it is shaping up.
Seems like every time I have some time some family member needs something. Was going to go work on the car last Sunday and my sister needed me to go ride up with her to pick up my niece. Then last night I went with mom to Branson so she could pick out a dress for another niece's wedding, which will also keep me from seeing a car show and working on my car next saturday. If I get some sleep in before work this evening I am going to go get some small pieces of hardware to mount my tank and fuel line. But once I get the stuff, it should go pretty smooth with the tank. It is just getting the time. Hopefully monday and tuesday I can get some serious time in on the caddy.
Project Kawasuki has been cleared and wet sanded down to 2000. Went buff out with 3m rubbing compound and glaze with Meguires #7. Looks a little cloudy. Maybe I should have left he clear alone as it layed out smoooth with more bugs than orange peel but live and learn
Not doing any work today, we are going to the big yearly BBQ Fest here in our town. it has a awesome car show too.
Well today my brother came over to try and fine tune my Rambler to achieve better gas mileage and I think we got it nailed. We then turned our attention to my Gran Sport top iron alignment. He had one of these cars and I don't remember doing this top, don't remember a darn thing. So I asked him how he remembered we did a few things on it. Right off the top of his head me mentioned something and it was really odd, about a set screw that I forgot was even there (it's pretty hidden) and there is nothing about it in the manual. He mentioned this, I took an allen to it and one other thing and wham I had gotten something done that I hadn't been able to before he mentioned that!
It was really cool, and like he said, "Damn I can't remember my wife's birthday but I remember that obscure tiny detail on something I worked on 30 years ago!
I said "What's more important, my Gran Sport or your wife's birthday"? LOL

text: Hi, I just recently bought a focusrite saffire pro 26 and im having some teething problems with it. It didnt like having my lacie d2s daisy chained off it (it kept powering off and disconnecting the hard drives which is never good), so have connected the saffire pro after the hard drives and that has stopped that problem. When listening to itunes every now and again it distorts for a few seconds then is fine again. anyone have any suggestions to get rid of the problem? Cheers Andrew

The local elections taking place today in England and Wales, though not London, are even more unpredictable than usual. UKIP is fielding 1,745 candidates, only slightly fewer than the Liberal Democrats. It has fared well in recent parliamentary by-elections and will hope to do so in the by-election being held today in South Shields, caused by David Miliband's resignation. The overall outcome will be decided by national as well as local issues: it is the interplay of the two that make these polls so hard to read — and so vital.
Undeniably it is the Tories who are likely to lose most seats: not only are they at mid-term but they are defending a total inflated by their big wins in 2009, in the dying days of Gordon Brown's government. Labour will be disappointed if it does not recover at least some of those gains. The party really needs to gain at least 300 seats: if the rebound is not on a large scale, it risks diminishing Ed Miliband's standing.
Meanwhile the Lib-Dems' national poll ratings have suffered badly — though they have a solid record in local government which may help counter their problems nationally. But the real new threat for the Tories is from UKIP: some predict they could lose as many as 500 seats.
Our interview today with Richmond Tory MP Zac Goldsmith gives some indication why many Tory voters feel aggrieved. He says that people are unclear "about what Cameron stands for". He is himself particularly exercised about the question of Heathrow expansion and green policies but, he says, the question of Europe matters for David Cameron's credibility, especially his promise of an in-out referendum on the EU.
There are other MPs besides Mr Goldsmith who feel that Mr Cameron's commitment to a referendum should be underpinned by legislation to ensure it actually happens. There is talk of disaffected MPs introducing a referendum bill to force his hand. This would take on UKIP on its core issue but would also raise old Conservative divisions as well as fresh Coalition tensions: Lib-Dem leader Nick Clegg has hinted that he might veto such legislation. The stakes today are high all round.
Deptford rises
Deptford and its docks may be rich in historical associations — it was where Christopher Marlowe was murdered, Sir Francis Drake knighted and Peter the Great learned about shipbuilding — but it is fair to say the image of the area has not quite kept pace with that of other riverside neighbourhoods. This may change if developers get approval for a £1 billion plan drawn up by architect Sir Terry Farrell to regenerate the 40 acres opposite Canary Wharf. It would create 3,500 homes and three new parks and convert a Victorian warehouse into a new cultural centre.
The plans have inevitably met with criticism, especially because only 500 of the homes would be affordable, just 14 per cent of the total. Some critics want more space for employment rather than housing. The housing question is sensitive but there is a significant amount of social housing already. These issues are important but the great thing is the prospect that a run-down part of London may be restored and revived. That has to be a good thing.
Rugby's stadium
Rugby may not yet be an Olympic sport but it will have its place in the Olympic stadium, where five of the 2015 World Cup games will be held, including the England-New Zealand match. It's an enticing prospect. The sporting legacy from 2012 lives on at the heart of the Games.Reuse content

New famine fears loom in Yemen
By Jonathan Saul, Noah Browning and Mohammed Ghobari
LONDON/DUBAI (Reuters) - Intensive care wards in Yemen's hospitals are filled with emaciated children hooked up to monitors and drips - victims of food shortages that could get even worse due to a reorganization of the central bank that is worrying importers.
With food ships finding it hard to get into Yemen's ports due to a virtual blockade by the Saudi-led coalition that has backed the government during an 18-month civil war, over half the country's 28 million people already do not have enough to eat, according to the United Nations.
Yemen's exiled president, Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi, last month ordered the central bank's headquarters to be moved from the capital Sanaa, controlled by Houthi rebels in the north, to the southern port of Aden, which is held by the government. He also appointed a new governor, a member of his government who has said the bank has no money.
Trade sources involved in importing food to the Arab peninsula's poorest country say this decision will leave them financially exposed and make it harder to bring in supplies.
Diplomats and aid officials believe the crisis surrounding the central bank could adversely affect ordinary Yemenis.
"The politicization of the central bank and attempts by the parties in the conflict to use it as a tool to hurt one another ... threaten to push the poorest over the edge," said Richard Stanforth, humanitarian policy adviser with Oxfam.
"Everything is stacked against the people on the brink of starvation in Yemen."
The effects of food shortages can already be seen. At the children's emergency unit at the Thawra hospital in the port of Hodaida, tiny patients with skin sagging over their bones writhe in beds. Hallways and waiting rooms are crowded with parents seeking help for their hungry and dying children. Continued...

The Affordable Care Act continues to promote access to affordable Marketplace health insurance plans in 2016 by creating a transparent Marketplace where consumers can chose among the health insurance products to find one that best meet their needs and budget. More than 8 in 10 returning Marketplace consumers could save an average of $610 annually in premiums for a plan in the same level of coverage by returning to shop. More than 7 in 10 (72 percent) current Marketplace enrollees can get coverage for $75 in premiums or less, after any applicable tax credits in 2016. Nearly 6 in 10 (57 percent) can get coverage for $75 in premiums or less within their metal level. Like in 2015, 9 out of 10 consumers returning to the Marketplace will be able to choose from 3 or more issuers for 2016 coverage.

Redemption: Viewpoints
Depending on context and worldviews, people define the word "redemption" in different ways.
For Christians, it refers to the act of God saving them from inevitable and total damnation. For most everyone else, it's associated with the act of clearing away a debt. I always see it as an embodiment of vengeance. It's quite interesting how one word can have such drastically different conceptual differences!Read More

The Fifth Judge:
Thompson v. Heineman and Nebraska's Judicial Supermajority Clause
Kathleen Miller, University of Nebraska College of Law
J.D. Candidate, 2016
Introduction: History of the Case
When TransCanada proposed its Keystone XL route in 2008, it likely did not believe that the proposal would face much opposition. After all, TransCanada already had another pipeline running through Nebraska. The thought that the project would be at a standstill seven years later seemed unfathomable.

|[jira] Created: (AMQ-943) Pluggable Stomp Message Mapping
|Wed, 27 Sep 2006 14:14:23 GMT
Pluggable Stomp Message Mapping ------------------------------- Key: AMQ-943 URL: https://issues.apache.org/activemq/browse/AMQ-943 Project: ActiveMQ Issue Type: Improvement Components: Transport Affects Versions: 4.1 Reporter: Dejan Bosanac Fix For: 4.1 Attachments: protocol-mapping.patch I have finally found time to finish this. Here's the draft version of the Pluggable Stomp Message Mapping implementation. Few notes: - New interface has been defined: ProtocolMapping (I wanted to use the same name as the message header that we check) - There are two implementations of this interface: DefaultProtocolMapping and ByteProtocolMapping - I used FactoryFinder to create appropriate mapper. The finder use the following path to find keys: META-INF/services/org/apache/activemq/transport/mapping/ (we can change this if you want) - The appropriate mapper is used according to the "protocol-mapping" header in the CONNECT message. For example protocol-mapping:byte for ByteProtocolMapping handler. - Currently I have implemented only the mapper for BytesMessage since I wasn't sure whether you want to integrate JSON mapper for MapMessages or distribute it in a separate library. - I have changed the test case that tests subscription for byte messages - This solution is not compatible with current mapping for byte messages. If you want backward compatibility, I can hard-code it in a ProtocolConverter class (as it was) since it could not be implemented through this mechanism. TODO: - test it more (create more unit test cases and test it more in a real environment) - create a proper documentation so others can create their handlers. - create a proper JavaDoc documentation for key interfaces and classes - create JSON mapper (integrated or external) - fix STOMP client(s) Give it a try and let me know your impressions Dejan Bosanac -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: https://issues.apache.org/activemq/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira

GM Goodwrench motor build up...Seeking advice
I came across a good deal on a GM Goodwrench 350 motor. It was totally free so I can't possibly complain about the price. I'd like to utilize as much as it's freeness as possible and at the same time attempt to transform it into a motor that is capable of a high 11 second pass in an 86 Monte Carlo SS. I hear that the stock TH2004r tranny is quite capable but that the 7.5 rear end is a weak link.
For now the tranny and rear end are part of the 2nd and 3rd phase of the project. I'm wanting to plan and build the motor in phase 1 of the project.
So here I am...
I've read the Chevy High Performance Magizine articles a series of 8 of them that outlined a plan to put together this otherwise anemic motor which they baselined @ 240 hp and through a series of trials of various cams, intakes, heads, and headers/exhausts they were capable of increasing the numbers to 400+bhp and a torque reading of something like 415 ft-lb. I thought that was pretty good but wasn't sure if those numbers were enough to get my 86 Monte SS down the track in less than 12 seconds or not.
Anybody have any personal knowledge as to which head/cam/intake set up can produce as good or better numbers than listed here and still keep the motor fairly streetable with good low-midrange power capabilities. With the stock internals I don't imagine I'm going to want to spin it much over 6200-6500 rpm I wouldn't think. Maybe those rpms are too high. I admit. I'm fairly new to the GM side of things and really have only a basic limited knowledge of it all.
What do you guys think so far as a good head/cam/intake/carb setup. to get the most power yet still be streetable with the GM Goodwrench bottom end?
Unless you're gonna upgrade the pistons, I wouldn't plan on turning it over 5500 rpm very often. A set of true flat top hypereutectics would be a good inexpensive way to go. Guessing at about 3600 lbs, and about 350 rwhp, (400~425 flywheel hp), puts you at 12.60s. A motor like that would be able to easily take a 100 shot of nitrous, which would take you solidly into the 11s. Even 350 flywheel hp will probably grenade the stock rear, so you might want to concentrate on that first.
I'd shoot for 12s, it seems a lot simpler and more streetable for cruise night and such, but still packing quite a punch!
Regardless I'd grenade the weak stock rearend for the fun of it before upgrading. I don't think they're worth anything, and they're worth the same to the scrap metal guys working or grenaded. Just post pics. Gotta love duability testing bad factory parts.
i would not say that the 2004R is capable of handling 450+tq with out upgrading it, same with the 7.5 rear, but to be honest i dont know if i would spend the money on the 7.5 rear to upgrade it because it will still be the weakest link. i agree with some of the others that a mid 12 would be a little more realistic with that short block as i wouldn't want to turn it past 5500-5700 and i'm not sure that i would put any kind of forced induction on this motor without completly rebuilding it, these motors are notorious for inferior quality
The CHP article is a very good series of what can be done with the Goodwrench engine without going into the rotating assembly. One has to remember that as the power level and RPMs go up, component life expectancy goes down, pretty much geometrically. Which is to say using the original crank, rods, and pistons that when you double the power output and RPM the life of parts goes down to the square root of the original designed life expectancy.
Where the average rodder has an apparent gain on that is that often doubling the power doesn't require doubling the RPM. So you don't feel the full impact of the equation. However, the life of the parts goes down rather remarkably and sometimes suddenly.
That said, you can take a Goodwrench bottom end to 6 thousand plus a little, but the this stuff, especially the rods and pistons are working right on their design limit.
The CHP article never does optimize the power result as they never address the bottom end. This goes not only for the rotating dynamics but also combustion characteristics. When you get up into the 6 thousand RPM range you should really start thinking better rods and pistons. The latter, pistons, also gets into better combustion and detonation resistance. While CHP used the Vortec head which has a lot of bang for the buck in the performance it delivers, they never replaced the circular dish factory piston. These leave a lot to be desired in power output as they as a result of their design cannot optimize squish and quench which probably leaves another 30-40 horsepower on the table. Replacing these pistons with a D dish type so the far side of the chamber has a much closer closing between the piston crown surface and the head's step. this feature lets you push the compression higher without having to up octane of the fuel, which if you're already at 91-93 octane there is no solution save track racing fuel available. So optimizing the squish quench will let you get away with more compression which offers several other opportunities of which are simply use the higher compression, or give up some of it to hold a higher dynamic ratio against a longer duration cam.
My street building experience shows that doing the piston change on the Goodwrench block will dyno at 400 hp with as little as the Comp 262 cam. This cam can be used to hold up the bottom end torque which works better to launch a heavy car with high gears as is rather typical of a heated up daily commuter car where you don't want a cam that drives you to a high stall converter and don't want so much noise from a high winding motor that you can't hear the stereo.
As for getting the Monte into the 12 second bracket that's going to take more along the lines of 500 horse, stiffer gears, and some weight redistribution and reduction. My S-15 when the 350 was young could get under 13 with a similar engine as I describe, a modified 4L60E and 3.08 gears. But the truck weighs under 2800 pounds, has some serious weight redistribution and lots of suspension work.
The 200R4 tranny is not up to 400 horse without a lot of very expensive specialty parts. The way a V8 loads the tranny with lots of torque suddenly is very different from the way a turbo V6 does. So V8 conversions on stock 200R4s eat up them pretty quickly. The 7.5 is a weak link for sure, it can be crutched with putting in a posi, using a girdle in place of the sheet metal cover and running something like Lucas Shock Proof diff oil in there. But the 7.5 will always be on the edge. There isn't a cheap solution to this. The rear ends the Buick Grand National Turbo and the 442 Olds will bolt in, there isn't anything bigger that just bolts in. Rear ends are getting to be an expensive problem as most of the good 8.2s and 8.5s are gone from the wrecking yards.
Thanks for all the reply's. You guys really know your stuff. It seems like the more questions I get answers to the more questions I then come up with due to not having considered certain things. A number of you have answered questions already that I didn't even know I had just yet....hahaha .
My mind is pulled in a number of different directions so far as how to go about building up this motor. My latest thoughts are should I build it or should I sell it off and then use that money to help pay for a good stroker kit???
How much money do you guys think I could reasonably expect to get from selling the crate motor on Craigs list or Ebay?
If I did sell the crate motor then which foundation/block should I then consider to achieve my goals of building an 11 second motor?
Anybody know of a source that sells GM parts @ 10% over costs+ shipping or better? I've got the hook up when it comes to Ford parts but not on GM stuff.
Should I decide to go the route of a stroker motor I would like to assemble it myself to help save on costs. Which stroker kit can I use for my goals and still remain a fairly economical budget?
How much would it likely sell for??
Scoggin Dickey sells new for $1500 bucks. I would guess you can get around $800 bucks IF you have the receipt from whoever got it to prove it's what you say it is. Less if you don't have. You can get whatever somebody is willing to pay for it.
After some more thought. I've been wondering what would be an ideal stroker motor utilizing this particular block?
383? or something else?
Most of the good axles of any type are gone from the JY at this point, and if you're going to go the jy route the best bet is to grab something from a full size truck and shorten it (occasionally you'll still find a good ford 8.8 also), but between that and the fact that aftermarket axles haven't gotten that much more expensive (they seem to be going up in price less than inflation), it's almost a no brainer that if you're going to seriously beat on a car just go aftermarket.
WRT to the goodwrench 350... depending on the year that it was made and what it was intended to be a replacement for what you have might be significantly different. For the most part they got larger chamber heads and compressions in the 8.5-8.9:1 range, most got decent bottom ends, at least as durable as the 350 bottom end used in the trucks at that time were, usually a little better. I don't know why you would limit it to 5500, over the years I've seen a few of them regularly spun up to 6500 or so without any issues, and in general, depending on what you're starting with either boost it or drop some smaller chamber heads on it bumping compression a point or so, and run a bigger cam, headers, intake...
The reason I say 5500 is cast pistons, in a 350, they will only go to 6500, or above, just so many times, before the stress gets to them. They were designed with a 5500 rpm redline from the factory, and it's pretty safe to go there with them pretty regularly in a healthy motor. Sure some will go much higher, but not for long.
If your looking for an 11 sec. car in a heavy "G" body trust me, I have a Caballero "G" body car. They can do it but need a solid suspension (rear) for all the hard launching and whatever motor you decide to build go full roller. If it's going to be beat on regularly and run at high rpms, a full roller will handle the abuse better and be more precise with less loss of power in the higher rpm ranges. FYI...
IMO, the best of all scenarios is a BBC built only as "stout" as is needed to get the required HP to run the numbers you want to run.
Take the weight of the vehicle, and go from there. Using the various calculators, you can get a pretty good idea of the requirements for whatever ET you want to run. Be realistic, and remember the chassis is just as important- if not MORE so- than the HP.
CALCULATORS (there are literally hundreds on the interweb):

Please, show us your code
The 1991 Science paper by Friis-Christensen & Lassen, work by Henrik Svensmark (Physical Review Letters), and calculations done by Scafetta & West (in the journals Geophysical Research Letters, Journal of Geophysical Research, and Physics Today) have inspired the idea that the recent warming is due to changes in the sun, rather than greenhouse gases.
We have discussed these papers before here on RealClimate (here, here, and here), and I think it's fair to say that these studies have been fairly influential one way or the other. But has anybody ever seen the details of the methods used, or the data? I believe that a full disclosure of their codes and data would really boost the confidence in their work, if they were sound. So if they believe so strongly that their work is solid, why not more transparency?
There is a recent story in the British paper The Independent, where Friis-Christensen and Svensmark responded to the criticism forwarded by Peter Laut (here). All this would perhaps be unnecessary if they had disclosed their codes and data.
Gavin and I published a paper in Journal of Geophysical Research, where we tested the general approach used by Scafetta & West, and tried to repeat their analysis. We were up-front about our lack of success in a 100% replication of their work, but we argue that the any pronounced effect – as claimed by Scafetta & West – should be detectable even if the set-up is not 100% identical.
However, Scafetta does not accept our analysis and has criticized me for lacking knowledge about wavelet analysis – he tells me to read the text books. So I asked him to post his code openly on the Internet so that others could repeat our test with their code. That should settle our controversy.
After repeated requests, he told me that he doesn't really understand why I'm not able to write my own program to reproduce the calculations (actually, I did in the paper together with Gavin, but Scafetta wouldn't accept our analysis), and keeps insulting me by telling me to take a course on wavelet analysis. Furthermore, he stated that there "are several other and even more serious problems" in our work. I figure then that the easiest way to get to the bottom of this issue it to repeat our tests with his code.
A replication in general doesn't require full disclosure of source code because the description in the paper should be sufficient, though in this case it clearly wasn't. So to both save having us do it again and perhaps miss some other little detail – in addition to using an algorithm that Scafetta is happy with – it's worth getting the code with which to validate our efforts.
It should be a common courtesy to provide methods requested by other scientists in order to speedily get to the essence of the issue, and not to waste time with the minutiae of which year is picked to end the analysis.
The reason why Gavin and I were not able to repeat Scafetta's analysis in exact details is that his papers didn't disclose all the necessary details. The first point he raised was that we used periodic instead of reflection boundaries. The fact that the paper referred to the expression '1/2 A sin (2 pi t)' to describe the temperatures or solar forcing would normally suggest that they used periodic rather than reflection boundaries. There was no information in the paper about reflection boundary. But this is no big deal, as we have subsequently repeated the analysis with reflection boundary, and that doesn't alter our conclusions.

WAUKESHA, WIS.— The authors of "This Wicked Rebellion: Wisconsin Soldiers Write Home" will present at Carroll University on Tuesday, Sept. 17, 2013. John Zimm and Michael Edmonds will speak at 7:30 p.m. in room 124/125 of the Campus Center, 101 N. East Ave., Waukesha. A book signing will follow. This event is free and open to the public
Zimm and Edmonds have edited a multitude of letters written home by Wisconsin soldiers during the American Civil War in their new book published by Wisconsin Historical Society Press. What these soldiers had to say when they wrote home highlights their individual concerns about family, the cause they fought for and the fears of being with the army on campaign.
Zimm has worked for the Wisconsin Historical Society Press since 2002. He has a bachelor's degree from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and has written several articles for the "Wisconsin Magazine of History."
Edmonds is deputy director of the Wisconsin Historical Society's Library Archives. On staff since 1982, he leads the effort to digitize rare manuscripts and books onto the Wisconsin Historical Society website. His 2009 book "Out of the Northwoods," exploring the legend of Paul Bunyan, won the Wayland D. Hand Prize from the American Folklore Society.
This event is sponsored by the Carroll history program and the Prairieville Irregulars. For more information, contact Thomas Martin Sobottke, adjunct lecturer in history at Carroll University, at email@example.com or 262.691.2887.

The restoration of wetlands habitat north of Osoyoos will not exacerbate the mosquito problem, say officials with Ducks Unlimited, the organization doing the work.
They were responding to concerns expressed by Osoyoos Mayor Stu Wells, who worries that the area north of Osoyoos Lake with its oxbow lakes could become a breeding ground for mosquitoes carrying the West Nile Virus.
"That is the most notorious mosquito-breeding area in the whole regional district," said Wells, who notes that water doesn't flow through the oxbow lakes.
"They are not linked up," he said. "There's no flow of water through them. They are exactly what I said they are. They are dugouts."
The project comes at a time when the province has cut back nearly $300,000 in mosquito abatement funding to the Regional District of Okanagan-Similkameen (RDOS) aimed at controlling West Nile Virus, the mayor says.
Brad Arner, Manager of Conservation Programs with Ducks Unlimited in Kamloops, however, suggests the habitat restoration work his organization is doing will instead reduce mosquito problems.
Ducks Unlimited has dredged oxbow lakes that have filled up with sediment over the years, restoring them to their original courses. They are also planting riparian vegetation that provides habitat to birds, mammals and aquatic species.
"Certainly mosquitoes are always a concern when people hear about wetlands," said Arner. "Our response back is always that healthy wetlands don't produce nearly as many mosquitoes as stagnant standing small bodies of water."
Healthy wetlands, he notes, contain numerous invertebrates that feed on mosquitoes.
While acknowledging the area will still produce some mosquitoes, Arner says the situation is much worse when there are small standing pools of water on land or in barrels.
His colleague, Bruce Harrison, who is overseeing the project for Ducks Unlimited agrees.
"That property may have had some mosquito issues in the past because it was flooded grass, and flooded grass tends to really support mosquitoes well," said Harrison, BC Head of Conservation Science and Planning for Ducks Unlimited. "When you get these more permanent water bodies, not only does it support a natural predator community that feeds on the mosquitoes, but it also isn't their ideal breeding ground. They like shallower water than that."
The official responsible for mosquito abatement in RDOS also confirms that mosquitoes don't tend to breed in deeper water.
"It depends on the depth of the water," says Doug French, RDOS Public Works Manager. "If it's over 18 inches, it's really not too bad, and if Ducks Unlimited are going to that depth or deeper, then it might not be too bad, but typically the unattended oxbows are bad for mosquitoes and we do treat them."
French says, however, that the RDOS cannot go onto land to treat for mosquitoes unless the landowner gives permission.
Ducks Unlimited and the Nature Conservancy of Canada, which own different portions of the land in the project, don't allow RDOS to control mosquitoes on their property except in cases where West Nile Virus is found and provincial legislation requires it.
French says the RDOS was approved by the province for $293,000 in funding in 2011 to control West Nile Virus, however only $276,000 was actually spent.
This is on top of annual spending of $150,000 by the RDOS for nuisance mosquito abatement in general.
The province did not provide the funding in 2012, French says, because West Nile was no longer considered to be a threat. In 2009, West Nile Virus was found in the southern Okanagan near Osoyoos. That year the virus was only found in the tarsalis mosquito, in which the virus was able to incubate because of the warmer weather that year, according to a 2010 study published in Emerging Infectious Diseases by the Atlanta-based Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The study notes that mountainous landscape is less conducive to West Nile Virus, but the Okanagan Valley is one of the few non-mountainous areas in southern B.C. Valleys act as paths of least resistance and as a conduit for migrating birds. The South Okanagan also has areas of irrigation clustered with human habitation near rivers and lakes.
Unlike most of B.C., the South Okanagan also has a climate favourable to amplification and transmission of West Nile, the study says.
Harrison of Ducks Unlimited says the project is on 160 acres of land purchased in 2002 and 2004 separately by Ducks Unlimited and the Nature Conservancy of Canada.
The excavation work of opening up the historic oxbows is essentially finished except for some distribution of soil. Some of the planting work will continue in the spring, Harrison adds.
The riparian shrubs will provide cover, nesting and food for birds and amphibians, including endangered species, he says. Additionally, the amphibians need open water, which was reduced over the years as the oxbows filled in, due to creation of a manmade water channel and agriculture on the land.

The Dark Knight
Ottway Ducard stashed this in Dark Knight
Stashed in: Best PandaWhale Posts, Lord of the Rings, Awesome, Are You Not Entertained?, Batman!, Christopher Nolan, Toy Story!
People who compare the dark knight to the dark knight rises don't get it. The dark knight trilogy is itself one work of art; much like the lord of the rings. While you may have a favorite part or book or section or battle, it is the same work -- none stands on its own. The whole is greater than the sum of all parts.
Take batman begins. In the part with raas al ghul Bruce is about to take the brand to mark he is a member of the league of shadows. That mark appears in the third movie.
Are you watching closely?
I'm starting to think Nolan's entire body of work carry the same themes, transient from one film to the other, like prestige and how it shows not the art of magic, but the art of storytelling -- as told by Christopher nd Jonathan Nolan. The music and motifs, the characters and their tragic flaws, the plots and the resolutions.
Nolan is weaving one great magic trick, and we are all wanting to be fooled.
It was the look on their faces....
There are a bunch of details in the first two movies that are relevant to the third movie.
The writers have thought the trilogy through carefully.
My problem is that I saw the other two movies years ago.
I need a refresher. Any suggestions or should I just Wikipedia it?
Hmm. I watched batman begins but not the dark knight (disc had too many scratches) before seeing TDKR.
I'd suggest watching batman begins and skipping the dark knight as there are enough conversation-pieces and flashbacks to cover the 2nd.
The dialogue is a key, though. Certain words and phrases; honestly just watch the first 1/2 of batman begins and it'd be a great refresher. :)
But if you don't have time for either, Wikipedia should work well. You may not catch the signs, though, but the story will be more satisfying.
Respectfully disagree. Individual movies in a trilogy also need to stand on their own.
I like my Batman movies to have more Batman.
I want a Batman movie to be *about* Batman.
Deep themes are great but if you don't have a certain amount of "Batman kicking ass scenes" you have gone off the reservation and forgotten what you're making.
I didn't want to see an epic sprawling drama that would have been better titled "The Siege of Gotham." I wanted a story about Batman, starring Batman, with numerous impressive scenes of Batman kicking ass.
I dare say, this is not too much to ask in a film inspired by a comic book character.
Many directors who feel tempted toward the dark land of pretentiousness should be humbled by this deceptively profound review of IRON MAN 2:
What attracts people, in my opinion, to batman is his humanity, not his hero-nature. Or better said, it is the hero arc they enjoy more than the hero himself.
But I certainly understand your perspective.
I believe the dark knight rises film was the best in the trilogy. Did you watch it twice?
All Christopher Nolan movies have extra details that reward a second or third watch: Memento, Insomnia, Prestige, and Inception all have this in common.
Most great trilogies usually have the best movie in the first one (The Matrix, Indiana Jones) or the second one (Empire Strikes Back, Aliens, Godfather II). Only Lord of the Rings and Toy Story peaked in the third movie.
The humanity vs hero nature distinction is an interesting one.
Avengers and Spiderman we go for the action.
Batman we go for the story.
I think the dark knight rises also shows Nolan's natural progression.
Memento (2002), Batman Begins (2005), The Prestige (2006) play very much with a non-traditional sense of storytelling.
Backwards forwards, forwards backwards. Memento's retrograde amnesia affect is now famous. In batman begins we start in the past, go further back to the distant past 20 years prior, and then move forward to the future. In the prestige it starts in the present, and goes from one mans diary retelling the future to the other mans diary retelling the past. We hardly ever have a sense of a narrators view -- until near the end of the movie.
The dark knight probably stands alone, given the depth and surreal events surrounding Heath ledgers performance and life events.
Then inception and the dark knight rises, I believe, are actually more closely linked in terms of style and substance than the dark knight and the dark knight rises. Settings. Actors. Characters. Scenes. Emotions.
Needless to say, inception was one of my favorite all-time movies and so for me in particular, I appreciate the dark knight rises because I think Nolan the eldest is getting better as a director, his wife as a producer, and his brother and David goyer as writers. I mean Nolan brothers + wife + Christian bale + Michael Caine have worked on a slew of movies together. It's only natural in my opinion they get better over time.
Adam, you make great points.
Also, I'm just glad Batman no longer has rubber nipples:
That was a sad moment in the franchise.
Atif, you are so right.
And David, it's true that the best get better with time.
The more they learn, the better they get.
Of course you realize that these 3 films were part of a stand-alone graphic novel set in the late 80s/early 90s, right?
Looks like Batman Begins drew from several sources including the one you mentioned: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batman_Begins#Development
Sure, 'Dark Knight Returns' provided inspiration to everything that came after (including the Keaton/Nicholson Batman)... but the BB/TDK/TDKR trilogy is so very different in story that it's wrong to say these films were an adaptation of that graphic novel.
Only 1 detail was missing (and I realize Heath Ledger was unavailable to make a cameo): when Bane released all the prisoners, shouldn't the Joker have been 1 of those released (like the Scarecrow?)
Probably limited because of respect for Heath.
Adam, rewatch the movies...worth it for Prometheus and likely worth it for Batman.
Nolan is on record saying it was out of respect for Heath even though that inconsistency bothers him too.
Re-reading Batman Begins on Wikipedia it's clear I definitely need to rewatch it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batman_Begins
Also, The Dark Knight is 2-d only? http://9gag.com/gag/4830274
Yes. Nolan rightfully recognizes that 3D films, with the exception of avatar, are sub-par experiences.
I sincerely believe half of the people who watch movies in 3D only do so because the 2-D/cheaper ticket is sold out. Stereoscopic imaging is annoying at best, and inhibiting of both color and experience at worst. I watched avengers 3x in theatres; twice I had to purchase 3D tickets because 2D was sold out.
But hey, avengers was the #1 weekend release of all time. I guess that pricing strategy is working out for them.
That being said apparently he shot more IMAX film than any major film in history.
Also, I think this one has more "batman being batman" than any other movie. His fights with bane last what 5-7 minutes of just them fighting? I'd rather see batman fight the villain then spend 20 minutes dashing around fighting "street thugs." He didn't really fight with joker, scarecrow, or Harvey dent. Ra'as al ghul yes, but mostly in training and limited in the subway scene.
The batman v. Bane fights will go down as some of the most epic fighting in any super-hero movie.
So, well worth seeing in IMAX is what I'm hearing.
Sweet ninja moves and all.

South Africa's inequalities strain foundations of 'Rainbow Nation'
By Stella Mapenzauswa
JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) - South African writer Hagen Engler is candid about the inner racist he had to exorcise during his progression from a carefree youth who reaped the benefits of white minority rule to a man who has lived for 20 years under a black government.
The present-day Engler, his black wife and their mixed race child could easily be the poster family for the "Rainbow Nation" Anglican Archbishop Desmond Tutu dreamt of in 1994 when South Africa emerged from the ashes of apartheid as a new democracy.
Since then South Africans have largely put aside their racially divided past and presented a show of unity, be it to rally behind the mostly white national rugby team or the largely black soccer side during the country's 2010 World Cup.
The same harmony was evident in the widespread outpouring of emotion after the death last December of Nelson Mandela, South Africa's much loved first black president.
"People understand each other," Engler told Reuters. "We're not necessarily all living together as one big happy family but we've got a better understanding of each other's cultures."
In his often irreverent book, "Marrying Black Girls for Guys Who Aren't Black", Engler looks at his journey from the youth whose privileged white background easily secured him his first job in journalism, while his black peers struggled.
He recounts his initial, unsettling 1990s encounters with young, self confident blacks who had grown up in exile and were returning to claim their stake in the new South Africa.
Years later, Engler accepts that the African National Congress's black empowerment drive was necessary to steer the country forward. Continued...

Criminals have a new vector of attack to steal the $200,000 Tesla model S car thanks to security risks that permit unlimited log in attempts of online control panels and effective phishing of passwords.
Among the security risks identified is the ability for hackers to continuously enter passwords without restriction into the car's web login panel which allows a model S to be remotely located and unlocked.
Security across network-capable cars such as the model S was consistently found to be slack, and if it did not improve, botnets may in the future target vehicles, possibly tracking and attacking fleets, the researcher who found the flaws hypothesised.
Hackers could brute-force the passwords for the model S login page -- in which scores of combinations were entered against a given username without interruption -- because Tesla did not employ any second-factor authentication such as tokens or apps such as the Google Authenticator.
This was perhaps the most risky vector of attack because it meant drivers and Tesla staff, who could unlock customer cars, could be targeted in cunning spear phishing attacks aiming to steal passwords.
If usernames and passwords were lost, there would be no security mechanism preventing attackers from logging in and potentially stealing cars.
"Users have a tendency to re-use their credentials on other services as well," researcher Nitesh Dhanjani (@nitesh_dhanjani) said.
"This creates a situation where an attacker that has compromised a major website can attempt to try the same password credentials on Tesla website and iPhone app."
This process could be easily automated to target multiple cars.
Tesla was discreetly contacted by the researcher but has not commented.
Dhanjani had also found three IP-enabled devices in his Tesla model S which may have been the cars' dashboard and console which had risky exposed network services including SSH and HTTP.
Much work has been done in examining the security architectures of cars. The most famous of these was the many months of work research duo Charlie Miller and Chris Valasek spent tearing apart and hacking a Toyota Prius and Ford Escape to control its breaks and other functions.
The two were icons in a burgeoning scene of academics and security boffins who along with a thriving but fragmented assortment of rev-head hobbyist geeks are battering the digital fabric powering modern-day cars.
A lot of hacking was focused on Controller Area Networks (CANs) embedded into many cars in use today. This allowed alarms, speedos, brakes and door locks to be altered, but provided for legitimate uses including modifying fuel injection and monitoring precise performance.

Air barrier moisture barrier ? Faced vs unfaced insulation ?
I recently acquired a four unit apartment building ,the building is built two on top of two units . The lower two units have been gutted due to broken pipe based flooding which lead to black mold . I have reached the stage when it is time to replace all the insulation and drywall in these two units . What i need to know is do i need to place a vapor / air barrier between the two units and or exterior walls ? Do i need to use faced or un-faced insulation ?
Thanks in advance .
This were you need to tell us were your from, it helps a whole lot.
I will give you a few simple answers that may help.
The faced batts are for the exterior walls and the paper goes to the warm side. So if you live in the northern climates the paper faces in. If you live say in south Florida the paper goes to the out side.
for insulation between floors that is the first and second floor no facing is required. Under the home in the crawl space Faced with the paper facing up to the living side i.e the warm side.
I sure hope that helps.
Best of luck with your project
I live in Virginia . The building is slab built so there is no crawl space. I plan to house wrap the building as i am re-siding it anyway . If i have to place an air / moister barrier would an rc channel have an effect on it's performance ?
I'd bet "probably not" on the vapor barrier, but if you have a lot of humidity, them maybe so; buildingscience.com has maps that indicate whether one is advised or not, and if so, where in the exterior wall. In most places, not. In very cold (N Canada, Interior AK and north), perhaps. In some hot humid places, perhaps. Air seal for sure. As for insulation, get something better than fiberglass batts; they pretty much suck. Roxul is better. Between the floor/ceiling of the apartments, you could insulate for noise reduction using unfaced batts (cotton, cellulose, or wool I believe are more dense than fg and there let less noise through. Besides, they don't put itchy crap in your eyes. Search here for topics on noise reduction.)
Sound insulation is not my problem , i have no interest in adding sound proofing as most apt buildings do not have it . Roxul i Cost a lot of money . If i were to do any soundproofing it would be with rc channel not roxul . I appreciate the response and other information included in it .
