Try your skill at landing a plane on Hudson River
By Walker Simon
NEW YORK (Reuters) - First came the heroics of landing a crippled passenger jet on the Hudson River in New York City. Now there are the video games.
"Hero on the Hudson" challenges players to steady a plane nosediving toward the busy river. In "Double Bird Strike," the goal is to evade flocks of birds -- a suspected cause of the US Airways jet's near disaster on January 15.
Both are free online games created by units of MTV Networks, a division of Viacom Inc. Free games, which make money by selling advertising, are seen as a promising segment of the $22 billion U.S. video game industry.
Players can try to emulate the skill of pilot Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger, who won acclaim for his smooth emergency landing on the Hudson River that saved all 155 people aboard.
"Hero on the Hudson" has been played more than 1.4 million times since it was launched on January 21, said Kate Connally, spokeswoman for its creator AddictingGames. Average success takes three tries.
"If you land it correctly like the pilot did, then the passengers come out and cheer on the wing," she said. "The payoff is the joy of having saved all the passengers."
The plane sinks with burbling sounds if you fail.
"Double Bird Strike," which launched on January 18, may be trickier. Scott Roesch, general manager of creator atom.com, said it took him at least a dozen tries to succeed. Continued...

I don't need another watch, but I still don't have a full-lume dial. I'm pondering something in the 40mm range, ±2mm. I found a bunch out there. I like some from Aristo. I like the Komandisrskie K34. I like the Momentum Atlas, but I'm not in love with battery-power.
Hoping for Automatic, although solar quartz is OK. I would love to stay under $400, under 42mm, and I want this thing to REALLY GLOW.
Alrighty folks - do any of you have any light to shed on this question? Here's are some samples:
K-34. My favorite so far. A bit big at 42mm. How's the lume?
Another favorite in my search, Aristo 3H17R U-Boot, small at 38mm, but that's OK. A bit pricey at $400.
A bunch of other nice Aristo full lumes, 3H41 at 38mm (small), 5H69Ti at 42+ (big)
Aeromatic with a Type B dial - I don't mind Germasian, and the price is right, but how's the lume?
Laco Marine Miyota, big at 42mm, not bad....a bit bland?
A ringer, the Seiko SNZE17, good size at 40mm, great price around $140, probably blindingly bright.
Orient EM7 - I love the design and the price, but too big and has a non-quickset date.
The Orient, Seiko and Aeromatic also make the mistake of putting lume on the hands as well as the dial. That just makes them harder to see at night.
Maybe you can talk me into a Momentum after all, despite being battery quartz. I like this Pathfinder alarm, but it's a bit small even for me.
I like the Atlas as well...but with the two sizes I'm having trouble finding the right one, 36 or 42?, lume dial or is it white?
Waddya think? Name your favorites, try to convince me! Help me make up my addled mind.
Feel free to suggest some that I haven't shown here.

When the family's fourth generation moved into the business in the person of Todd Magee, it was becoming clear to Magee and his uncle, Robert Soracco, the world was changing from the days when "Papa Luigi"—Magee's great-grandfather—collected used cooking oil from New York City restaurants in a horse-drawn wagon in 1914.
But then again, in some ways, it hasn't changed that much: even then, the oil was recycled back into a more valuable product (candles and soap). Now, the bulk of the used oil is finding its way into the fuel tanks of diesel trucks, offering an effective, safe—and more environmentally sustainable—supply of fuel.
"When Rudolph Diesel built the first engine, he envisioned it running on vegetable oil," Magee said.
American By-Product Recyclers had built a solid business collecting the oil from restaurants throughout Northern New Jersey and across New York's borough's, but Magee and Soracco wanted to keep their business growing—and Hillsborough-based Planet Earth Biodiesel was born.
The Roycefield Road center now houses both companies' operations, where a fleet of trucks brings in as much as 15,000 gallons of used oil daily for refining back into pure oil, which is primarily sold to companies that use it to produce biodiesel.
Magee sees the future for his business more secure now that they're tied to the growing demand for alternative fuels, of which biodiesel may be among the least expensive and most environmentally-sustainable of products.
Some studies estimate biodiesel could reduce carbon emissions from motor vehicles by 67 percent, with a virtually non-existent carbon footprint: any carbon emitted using the fuel only reflects the carbon absorbed by the plants it's made from.
And while perhaps not everyone will be driving a diesel—although with new models getting more than 40 mpg, according to Edmunds.com, why not?—Magee sees the fuel as a major component in America's energy independence.
"It seems like since the first oil embargo, this country has tried to solve the problem with one solution," he said. "But I think we're now at a point where you can have 20 things that are helping."
And with research helping to make biomass fuels more efficient, Magee sees room for continued business growth.
"It's a big deal now and I don't see it reversing soon," he said. He cites the recent initiation of New York to Amsterdam flights by KLM airlines with biodiesel-powered Boeing 777 planes.
The addition of Planet Earth Biodiesel gives Hillsborough a second company working in the development of alternative fuels, with Homestead Road-based Primus Green Energy.
But where Planet Earth is providing source material for a well-established technology, Primus is looking to build a new high-tech source of a gasoline alternative.
Either way, in the not too distant future, it's easy to see a more sustainable fuel supply with a strong foundation in Hillsborough.

Occasionally a product comes along which makes you wonder why no one has thought of it before. For me Susan Posnick Brush On Block was one of these products. It is a mineral sunblock that comes in a dispenser with a brush, that can be easily refilled.
It is very important that you protect your skin from the sun, these days we are all aware of the fact that sun burn can lead to skin cancer. Applying sun cream is the best way to prevent this. Susan Posnick Brush On Block makes it really easy to do this. It is also a fabulous size for carrying around as it will easily slip into a handbag or toilet bag for travelling. The mineral sunblock is SPF 30 so it has a good amount of protection from UV-B rays. The Brush On Block comes in a small tube like dispenser, you can see the mineral sun block at the bottom
Slipping down the inside white plastic tube reveals the brush. This is a useful way to protect the brush and prevent the bristles getting trapped when you close the lid. The brush is very soft and spreads out when you use it.
To get the sunblock out of the tube you need to twist the bottom to unlock it. You then shake the tube a few times and the sunblock will travel up the tube into the brush. When you have finished using it you just lock the tube again so there is no risk of spillage.
The sunscreen glides onto the skin incredibly easily and you just can't see it is there. There is no sticky residue after application and it does not discolour clothes like some sun creams do. There is no smell either, you really can't tell it is there. This makes it brilliant for my son who hates wearing sticky sun cream. It can even be applied over make up and is waterproof and sweat proof for 80 minutes so can be used when swimming.
Brush on Block uses mineral ingredients, titanium dioxide and zinc oxide to provide sub protection. It also contains green tea leaf extract which is a natural antioxidant, safflower seed for moisturising skin and chamomile flower and honeysuckle extract to sooth the skin and prevent inflammation.
You can obtain Susan Posnick Brush On Block fromwww.skinbrands.co.uk RRP £23

The Mitchell County Board of Supervisors have voted to forward $20,000 to buy a van for the St. Ansgar Rescue Squad. The rescue squad is a first-on-the-scene-response group trained to give aid in advance of ambulance arrival. Officials say that the county usually participates in donating to causes that protect the public. The squad is purchasing a $140,000 van that will carry the required equipment used in their rescue calls.
So far fundraising has raised $107,000. When this van is purchased, the old van will be used in Stacyville.
County officials will take $10,000 out of this years budget despite objections that the cost was not in this years budget. Then they will take the remaining $10,000 pledged out of next years budget.

UMMCares, the University of Mississippi Medical Center's annual service organization donation drive, will run this year from Monday, Nov. 5 through Friday, Nov. 16.
The goal is to raise at least $130,000 for the 13 charities included in the campaign.
Employees are encouraged to give through payroll deduction. Donations will take effect for the 2013 calendar year and are tax-deductible.
This year's campaign once again will include a number of prizes to encourage participation, including a grand prize to be awarded at the end of the campaign. To be eligible to receive a prize, an employee must donate at least $26 - that's $1 for each of the year's 26 pay periods.
The winner of each prize will be determined through a random selection. The sooner in the campaign employees make their donation of $26 or more, the more chances they will have to win a prize (Under IRS rules, the value of the prizes will be reported as income to the recipients).
This year's campaign also will continue the friendly competition between components of UMMC. "Grand Giver" trophies will be presented to the unit that raises the most money and to the unit that records the highest participation (based on a minimum $26 pledge).
Last year, the School of Medicine won the trophy for highest contributions while the School of Health Related Professions won for highest participation. Other competitors included the School of Dentistry, the School of Nursing, University Hospitals including Batson Children's Hospital, and the Service Area.

I like the fact that you still see the old Beetle resemblance. Especially people in Europe appreciate this 'gesamte' Volkswagen Beetle - Ferdinand Porsche - Adolf Hitler - Bayerische Bierkeller heritage...
WELL the company does have its Ties to VW design in the past.
Just on CNN: Porsche's sales went up 28% first nine months of 2012, operating profit 23%.
- Angus YoungI'm sick and tired of people saying that we put out 11 albums that sound exactly the same. In fact, we've put out 12 albums that sound exactly the same.

strange things are afoot at the circle k.
Interviewer: It's like they (AC/DC) keep re-releasing the same song over and over...
DLR: Yeah, but it's a really good song!
Same goes for Porsche...
Its nice, it for sure looks a bit more 'exotic' than the last gen, but as others have said, nothing really too new there.
Every time I see a Porsche I cant help but think glorified VW Beetle.
6 speed transmissions are the future
Cayman is a good car for a daughter in college; I prefer the 911
For the last 40 years the Porsche design staff has used a total of three seperate sheets of paper to design all the bodies.
Chalk me up as a yawn.

CLEVELAND: Akron fans can watch Kerry Wood throw one inning Monday night at Canal Park, as the Tribe closer begins a brief rehabilitation assignment.
Wood has been recovering from a strained right lat since spring training and is expected to make at least two appearances for the Aeros, who play Trenton.
Austin Kearns was in the lineup for the eighth consecutive game today. In his past seven games, he is batting .387 with three doubles, two homers and 10 RBI. Overall, he is batting .357 and has hit safely in 13 of 14 games.
Heading into today's action, the Blue Jays, who play a three-game set at Progressive Field beginning tonight, were leading the American League with 35 home runs. Moreover, their pitching staff compiled a string of 59 innings without allowing a homer.
The streak ended Saturday, when Dana Eveland gave up the longball to Josh Donaldson of Oakland. Another streak might be in the offing, because the Tribe ranks 13th in AL homers with 14. Only the Mariners, with nine, have hit fewer.
Francisco Liriano's 23-inning scoreless streak ended quickly this afternoon, and it was his own fault.
Asdrubal Cabrera led off the first inning with a hard ground ball that bounced off the pitcher. Liriano rushed to recover the ball and threw it past first baseman Justin Morneau all the way down the right field line. The single and two-base error put Cabrera on third, from where he scored on Grady Sizemore's ground out.

GFI for outdoor circuit
I am running an undergound 110v to my shed and adding a dedicated 20 amp circuit to my panel. It is about 130 feet from the panel to the shed and I plan to use 10awg put put a switch in between at the house . Where do I need to place the gfi. Is it before the undrground section or at the end or shed? Can I just use a gfi receptical or do I need to use a gfi breaker?
Your choice!
If you use the gfci before the wire goes underground, you can bury it 12" deep, but you have to walk 130 feet to reset it.
You can put it out it in the shed, but you then need to bury the wire at 24"
Gfci receptacles are cheaper than breakers.
If you put it outside, it needs to be tamper proof/water resistant and have a bubble cover.
Put a GF breaker in the panel before the wire goes underground, so you only have to dig 12".
Put a GF receptacle in the shed, so if a ground fault occurs in the shed, you can reset it without having to walk the 130' back to the house.

Jimi Jamison
Jimi Jamison Biography
From humble beginnings in rural Mississippi to established superstar residing in Memphis, Tennessee, his achievements call to mind the other Memphis Rock and Roll Legend, whom Jimi met as a young boy while Elvis was on one of his famous shopping sprees.
Like Elvis, Jimi has never forgotten from whence he came and continues to be dedicated to benefits assisting St. Jude's Childrens Hospital, The Special Olympics, and The ARF Foundation, with Tony LaRussa of the St. Louis Cardinals.
Beginning with the nationally acclaimed band Target in the Seventies, Jimi continued his rise to stardom with Cobra through the early Eighties. In 1983, he joined Survivor as the group was to go on to enjoy 5 singles in the Top Ten, four gold, platinum, and double platinum albums and multiple movie soundtracks. His renditions of Eye of the Tiger from Rocky and Burning Heart from Rocky IV thrill concert audiences to this day. Other fan favorites include High On You, The Search is Over and I Can't Hold Back, all delivered with crisp, clean live band backup for the strong voiced Jamison. The explosive Rock Hard from Jimi's 1991 solo album, When Love Comes Down, also features the unmistakable power of Jamison's voice.
In addition to his career as lead vocalist, he has also made six music videos and has made multiple television appearances. He has served on the Grammy Awards Committee and as a member of AFTRA, SAG and NARAS. He has performed back up vocals for recordings by ZZ TOP, Krokus, Jeff Healy Band, and numerous other recording artists. Billy Gibbons refers to Jimi as the fourth member of ZZ Top. He has been recognized by the Govenors of Tennessee, Ohio and Arkansas for his work on and off the stage and he commands a loyal an dedicated following appearing at each of his concerts.

USVI Commission officials seminar!
By Boxing Bob Newman
This morning in St. Thomas, USVI, events got off to a start as a warm-up to tomorrow's "Class of 2008" fight show, promoted by 340 Promotions. 340 CEO Lesley Comissiong opened the proceedings by introducing the event's emcee, world renowned ring announcer Bob Alexander, who then in turn introduced the participants, which included Anibal Miramontes, president of FightFax (the boxing records entity recognized by the ABC), esteemed ring officials Levi Martinez and Dr. Ruben Garcia, world class referee Roberto Ramirez Sr.
Miramontes was brought in as an advisor to the revamped USVI boxing & wrestling commission, which had been dormant since the last boxing activity on the islands back in 2003. Miramontes then introduced the USVI commission president John Flemming who welcomed the attendees and expressed his hope for consistent activities in the months and years to come.
Martinez and Garcia conducted the ring officials seminar. Several up and coming ring officials from the USVI attended the seminar. The first portion concerned judging. Everything from becoming certified with the ABC, scoring criteria, championship scoring rules, to tips on how to be at one's optimal condition before judging a fight were presented.
Ramirez Sr. of San Juan, Puerto Rico then conducted a refereeing seminar. Such topics as assessment of points deduction for fouls, intervention of ring physician for head butts or other injuries, returning lost mouthpieces, various counting issues for knockdowns, administering pre-fight rules to both boxers in dressing rooms,and overall safety were discussed.
Judge Martinez then conducted an exercise which involved scoring select rounds of the third fight between Rafael Marquez and Israel Vasquez. Their were varied results among the participants' scores. Each scorer was required to explain their reasoning for their scores in each round. Incidentally, Marquez scored a knockdown of Vasquez in the fourth, but not all the participants of this exercise gave him a 10-8 round. Some scored it 10-9 based on their perception that Vasquez was doing well overall in the round outside of suffering the knockdown.
A fifty question officials test was administered to the participants after the proceedings were concluded. This test was similar to that administered by the ABC and will be used to evaluate the competence and knowledge of the participants.
340 Promotions partner Sampson Lewkowicz expressed the importance of the seminars in shaping the boxing public's perception of the Virgin Islands and their competence in officiating fights.

Project Canvas, the IPTV joint venture between the BBC, ITV, BT, Five, Channel 4, Talk Talk and Arqiva, has received approval from the BBC Trust for the BBC's involvement in the collaborative effort. Don't worry if you feel like you're experiencing a sense of déjà vu - the BBC Trust already approved Project Canvas preliminarily last December, but needed another six months to make its mind up.
This announcement marks the end of regulatory processes which may have halted Project Canvas entirely. Given the Trust's treatment of the ill-fated Project Kangaroo, such cynicism wasn't entirely unwarranted.
Inevitably the Trust has attached a number of strings to the BBC's involvement, but these aren't exactly draconian. The pertinent details mandate that Project Canvas must remain free-to-access (although content providers may charge for material made available via the service) and that there should be as low a technical barrier to entry as possible. Other requirements, such as non-discriminatory EPC placement, and the obligation for the technical specification for Project Canvas to be available at least eight months before launch are simple common sense measures one would hope be taken anyway.
According to the Project Director Richard Halton: "Project Canvas will safeguard the future of the UK's free-to-air TV platforms and allow new business models to thrive through an open, internet-connected, TV platform. This brings the benefits of next-generation TV to all consumers, including those who choose not to subscribe to pay-TV." A vision we can certainly get behind.
Thanks to the BBC Trust seeing sense and finally leaving the BBC and its co-conspirators to get on with the important business of getting Project Canvas launched.

Goodbye 'Gigli,' Hello the New Ben AffleckIn the company men, Bobby Walker is a Porsche-driving golden boy laid off from his middle-management job. He smugly expects an easy landing somewhere, but the economy has other plans, which is how he ends up delivering one of the most wrenching lines in a movie that's full of them: "I'm a 37-year-old unemployed loser who can't support his family."
Movies: Kevin Spacey in 'Casino Jack' AbramoffGeorge Hickenlooper's fact-based satire, starring Kevin Spacey and his ever-sharp comic timing, offers an antic version of the wheeler-dealer whose ambition and blinkered morality were close to caricature all along.

OK, Mr. Ben Affleck. You Can Quit Your Day Job.Affleck's heist movie, "The Town," is part of a career turnaround so amazing that he looks like the new Clint Eastwood. Seriously. Affleck directed, stars in, and co-wrote "The Town," a suspenseful, fiercely paced movie about bank robbers that is also about love, brotherhood, and the desperate need to escape a crooked life.
'The American': The Clooney Bait-and-SwitchGeorge Clooney's latest is styled like a Bourne movie, but feels like art-house fare. How successful is the bait-and-switch?
Nancy Mitford's Dirty Family LaundryNancy Mitford rejected an offer to reprint her pre–World War II satire Wigs on the Green, explaining to her friend Evelyn Waugh, "Too much has happened for jokes about Nazis to be regarded as funny or as anything but the worst of taste." She had other reasons to worry. The novel's bubble-headed heroine, Eugenia Malmains, was a portrait of Nancy's Nazi sister.
Movie Review: 'Salt,' Starring Angelina JolieEver since "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" became a hit largely because it played off headlines about her blooming romance with costar Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie's offscreen celebrity has overwhelmed her onscreen roles. Her new movie—with the tagline "Who is Salt?"—knows how to use her outsize fame.
'Inception': Christopher Nolan's Dreamy New MoviePop culture's latest fix: the stuff that dreams are made of.
The Return of Sally PotterDirector Sally Potter has been nearly forgotten in the 18 years since her sumptuous, androgynous "Orlando" vaulted her from the avant-garde to the mainstream, but no worries. That all may change soon.
Movie Review: Taking Joan Rivers SeriouslyWe know Joan Rivers can be tacky, abrasive, self-mocking. On her way to winning Celebrity Apprentice last year, she berated professional gambler Annie Duke, screaming "You're a pokah playah—that's beyond white trash!"And the second season of her TV Land series How'd You Get So Rich? in which she gushes over homes of the nouveau riche—the gaudier, the better—has just begun. But culturally significant? Turns out she's that too.
TV Review: Tom Hanks's "The Pacific"Deep into HBO's megabudget miniseries The Pacific, as Americans fight the Japanese in a gruesome battle to control tiny Peleliu island, a sensitive officer comforts a horrified young Marine, assuring him that the brutality is "worthwhile because our cause is just." It all seems so quaint: the idea that war is about controlling battlefields; the sentimental certainty that justice is on our side; and, most of all, the arrival of another old-fashioned World War II extravaganza that has no cultural resonance today. Post-9/11, well into the war on terror, we live in the age of Inglourious Basterds, Quentin Tarantino's over-the-top tribute to—and takedown of—creaky combat dramas. With a film like Basterds slyly making up-to-the-minute assumptions about warfare today—it's about terrorism, not turf; ideology, not moral certainty—no wonder a bloated patriotic ode like The Pacific lands with a thud.Historical movies always reflect two eras: the ones in which they are set and the ones in which...

The history of Venezuela is a story about those with money who used that power to retain power in the country. The famous 1% in Venezuela were greedy, they only thought about themselves and eventually they lost a free election. The current President, Nicolas Maduro represents those who term themselves to be "Socialists" and regard the Castro regime as a model to pursue. Actually, this has turned out to be the reality of how Venezuelan leaders pursue their dream to end power of the wealthy. Inflation is about 57%, most stores lack anything in them, poverty is present, and the middle class is headed toward the United States of Central American nations like Panama. Anything other than the current state of affairs.
The Mauro regime just destroyed camps established by students who spend their days protesting rather than being in classrooms. Unless, they can change the economy, a college degree is worthless and will not lead to employment. Instead, they will head north. Members of the US Congress are calling for sanctions. We support that move. Venezuela is one clear example of how sanctions will compel changes in government –for the better.

Hey all.
I was browsing stuff online and came across your forum. It seems like a wealth of information, so i registered as im sure i will have some questions.
I know almost nothing worth knowing about cars, aside from changing starters and oil, but im a quick study. I have done 2 engine swaps in an s10 with a buddy, and thats about the extent of my knowledge.
Currently im looking to sink 3 or 4 thousand bucks into an 83 scottsdale, to make it worth 1500 Probably a terrible idea for a project, but i love the body style, and i have the cash and will to do it.
Its rusted, and banged up, but i got a buddy with about the same model that i can take his box and doors, and im a damn good painter, so im not worried about any of that.
I basically need somewhere to start for my research. I am very interested in the 383 stroker. I am not looking for a hot rod racing car. I just want torque. As much as i can get for the most bang for my buck. I want it to be able to tow anything, and have nice light to light power. I am more than willing to sacrifice a bit of power for quality. It would be a vehicle i would actually drive alot, and i dont want to get tons of torque only to blow it up cause i bought cheap parts.
Ideally id like decent quality parts to get 400+ lbs of torque. I still want to be able to use cheaper gas and maybe get 15 mpg highway, though it gets 10 now, so if thats a pipedream, then oh well.
If anyone has a guide for this, or maybe a link to decent parts that i will need, or just somewhere to start, i would greatly appreciate it.
basically, i have no idea what the difference is between this one that is from a store in my town
, and this that i found online
i know all the parts are different, but i have no idea what any of it means.
Where should i mainly be focusing my money on for power, and where should i put in money so i dont break it?
Thank you for taking the time to read this, and if i am asking too much in the introduction page i apologize, and ill continue to browse when i get back.
welcome...moving this to the engine forum........you will get answers there.
So you want to spend 3-4000 dollars on a fifteen hundred dollar truck, well Bunky, you've come to the right place. Hang around here long enough and you'll begin to think that raising the Titanic is a great restoration project.
Humm, how big is that engine? you mean it might fit into my neighborhood? Yeah, I've got couple buddies with pick-up trucks. Would that carry it home?
Yeah, I'd like to buy a million gallons of two pac epoxy, please. Uhh, yeah make that ahhh 1/3 black, 1/3 white, and-da 1/3 red. Oh, I almost forgot, you guys got some brass polish?
There's lots of good books out there today on project building. They're worth their weight in coin of the realm when it comes to keeping budget constrained guys from wandering off the deep end with their Visa card.
These should get your started and will point you to other good reading:
"How To Build Big -Inch Chevy Small Blocks"
by Graham Hansen, SA Design ? 2003, ISBN: 1884089860
"How to Build Max Performance Chevy Small Blocks on a Budget"
By David Vizard
"Small-Block Chevy Engine Buildups: How to Build Horsepower for Maximum Street and Racing Performance" by the publishers of Chevy High Performance Magazine
Sorry, i cant tell if you are making fun of me, or if you have a sense of humor i just dont understand. But, you have given me somewhere to look, and i thank you, so im guessing it was the latter.
edit: Are these types of books usually at a library, or is it better to just buy them?

Definately humor,I think his point kinda was their are a lot of us who will gladly sink thousands into a project worth hundreds, it ain't the money it's the enjoyment.
Hot rodding yes, its the way we think compounded with the fact that I'm at work 14-16 hours a day 6 days and often 7 days a week so the more tired I become the funnier things seem to me, and much of how hot rodders think is actually funny if you view it from the outside. BIG for example; So we start with a 350, not big enough, how about a 383, maybe my budget will let me go to 406, hey, I just heard about a kit that'll stretch a 350 SBC to 454. Sound familiar? This is the way we all think, including me, I'm just stepping back and saying well if that isn't enough maybe an in line 3 cylinder engine that's 50 feet tall will work.
The books are probably at the library, but I really would recommend purchase, they're not too expensive. Having them in your own collection lets you go back and actually study them rather than just read them. You'll find, especially, as you get into books like "How to Build & Modify Chevrolet Small-Block V-8 Cylinder Heads" and "How to Build Horsepower" volumes 1 and 2 (these are by David Vizard) but are typical of more advanced reading in which some of the concepts are either complicated or subtle and careful study provides one with a better understanding than can be obtained by a single reading.
There are many great books out there and the back cover references will lead you into other related subjects. Hot rodding is well documented these days and there is a wealth of information that will help guide you and keep you from getting into trouble.
I'd also recommend some of these as a basis to build fundamental knowledge of what's going on inside the engine and how to build/assemble to avoid common problems. These are in the order I recommend for starting at the basics of why the engine does what it does and moving into actually building the motor.

Don't forget to read up on other manufacturer's engines, the physics and math is the same and other engineering solutions to a common problem provide you with alternate solutions besides GMs.
Is there some reason to start with a small block? I mean, do you already have a garage full of small block parts that you can use on the project? The reason I ask is that if I were considering a high torque motor, I might also look into using a mild-mannered big block. Iron heads, short cam, 9:1, etc.
I was looking through craigslist the other evening for one of the other fellows. We were talking about how much a big block motor should cost. I found several complete 454's for $1000 or less. Pitch in another grand to freshen it up and you'd easily have 450-500 ft/lbs of torque on cat piss pump gas.
Just something to think about before you pull the trigger on a small block project.
@bogie: Yeah, im too used to the flaming of video game forums, and had a long day finished off with a couple brews so i wasnt sure which way to take you. No offense was taken.
I bought the "How to build max performance small blocks on a budget" by David Vizard, and while it is a wealth of info, its way outta my league. I was rather excited when i first started reading, but then when he started talking about grinding parts down, and getting it ready for the machine shop, it just doesnt sound realistic for my situation.
Either way it has a ton of useful information, and I will finish reading it, but im looking at this project more like building a computer.
I would like to find good quality parts that i can follow a diagram and know everything will be compatible, while just bolting stuff together.
My buddy is rather good with engines, but itd be asking way too much of him to go with the stripping down and complete rebuilds, so i gotta do something on my own i could have him inspect as i get it done.
Im not looking for a 2 year complete rebuild, just more or less the easy stuff to learn a bit, then do the swap.
as for this:
If i go that route does it all bolt up the same? Once the engine was complete could i just drop it in, or would i need to change anything else?
At this point im just in the research stage. I have no parts yet, but got some money burning a hole in my pocket. Id like to get the ball rolling, but dont wanna start until i have a blueprint of all the parts i need.
Done with the vizard book. Time to get another for more detail on the head work. I am pretty certain im gonna model a 383 after his 4th engine spec, as its pretty basic for the bottom end and i am pretty sure i can pull it off.
As soon as i get a blueprint of sorts, or "built" on paper ill link the parts, and hopefully can get some people to dissect it and let me know of incompatible parts (or stuff i am just completely missing) before i start ordering the wrong stuff
Thank you all so far for the insight, much appreciated and saved a bunch of time.
Save a few dollars to get some precision measuring tools. In the good old days these were very expensive, for the hobby engine builder the cost could hardly be justified for 2-3 engines over several years. Today you can get decent measuring tools from places like Harbor Freight pretty inexpensively and they're good enough for the occasional user. So pick up a set micrometers, a digital caliper, a set of inside telescoping gauges for both small and large bore holes, a dial indicator and stand. Don't be afraid to use Plasti-gauge, crank bearings have an amount of crush you can't as many try, to measure the block's bearing bore then journal diameter and bearing shell thickness then and subtract those from the from the bore and get a clearance. You have to measure from the assembled parts. Plastigauge is kind of your last verification. Purchase a high quality 24 inch machinist's square ruler this is useful for checking the flatness and straightness of surfaces. All these things help insure that the dimensions are good. Get yourself a degree wheel and a positive stop. The degree wheel doesn't need to be some huge expensive thing that you can turn the crank with something like this is plenty good http://store.summitracing.com/partde...5&autoview=sku. I have an Isky wheel, I've used for 40 years, works just fine.
Thank you for the advice.
If i might impose on your experience a little further, i have a couple questions.
First, the building/blueprinting book sounds like a huge time saver. Any recommendations for this particular project?
And, secondly, a block to start with.
Are there any i could order online with the required quality machine work done for a competitive price, or would a salvage yard block cleaned up a bit then taken in for crack testing, then machine work be a better route?
Lastly if a salvage motor is the route to go, is there a particular model that has more luck starting with? To clarify, if i found a small block in an old nova, wouldnt the odds be that its been punched out once or twice already? Is there some crappy station wagon or grandmas car that may have possibly used a small block that would have better odds of being in good condition? I just dont wanna spend hours cleaning it up to take it in and find out its cracked or punched out too far and have to take it back and start over.
Or, maybe these answers are in the tools you are recommending
In any case, i dont have a garage for a month so ill just be focusing on the research and tools in the meantime.
Oh, one more thing. Should i buy a grinder and a good book on head work? Ive got a steady hand but no knowledge as to what to do, but if there is detailed instructions with photos, would the performance upgrades offset the price?
Im leaning toward the world sr torquers.
Thanks again for taking the time to help.
edit: I just reread the thread and saw all these that you linked earlier. Any one in particular be more geared toward a 383?

I really like my Glocks but a 1911 feels the most natural in my hand.
Browning/FN Hi-Power fan here. There's just that tough-to-verbalize...something. Kinda' like describing love-at-first-sight, or in this case...first-front-sight.
Man this is so refreshing. I'll have to check back in here in a bit. Have to go do a few things.
All my weapons are made of metal but the few polymer weapons I fired, felt good and shot great.
I prefer all metal handguns.
I don't see plastic guns as collectibles. Sorry.
i prefer polymer for several reasons but would never knock anyone for preferring the other.
a good ol' metal gun can still be used for a good ol' pistol whipping...............a lost art in my opinion.
I have owned a polymer p250 and traded it for an all metal p229. What if I told u I like the p229 better? O have shot numerous polymer and metal guns. I prefer metal because I like the weight and it just feels sturdier. The sound of a metal slide on a metal frame sticks with u. What a beautiful sound.....
Sent from my HTCEVOV4G using Tapatalk 2
I love the feel of steel guns and how they shoot but not the extra weight when carried IWB.
I love an all metal gun, especially in revolver format. That much said, I love poly guns too. In fact I generally love firearms as a whole. It just depends on the gun and mood I suppose. I love the feel of my PPQ over my 1911, I love the feel of my 1911 over my Sig Mosquito, and I'd take my S&W .44 any day over all of them in terms of pure "feels good" tactile feedback.

63% Cabernet Sauvignon, 37% Shiraz.
Very nice wine although in a more international fruity/oaky style than what I'd normally look for. That said, still very well balanced and at $20 (close out price from Garagiste) I have no problems drinking a bottle of this. Dark purple-red in colour with coffee notes on the nose at first that step back with air allowing plums, blackberries, earth and some spices to emerge. Savoury on the palate combining rich, very ripe red and dark fruited flavours with earthy and toasty notes, with moderate acidity and chewy tannins underneath. Shows a touch of heat on the finish as this warms up.

Hospital a day from closing over debts
SHOALHAVEN Hospital, on the South Coast, came close to halting all surgery recently because it had just a day's worth of sterilisation solution left due to unpaid bills, a senior doctor says.
The head of surgery, Associate Professor Martin Jones, told the Herald the hospital was also put on "stop supply" 10 days ago for cataract lenses - the second time in two months - by a supplier tired of waiting for bills to be paid.
"We just haven't paid our bills," he said. "All the sterilisation in theatre was coming to an end and we didn't have the supply to go for more than 24 hours.
"The hospital would have to close because nothing would be sterilised."
He said the bill was paid urgently and the supply ban lifted after he had wasted considerable time chasing management about the problem.
"We who are working on the ground in getting the simple operations done to look after the rural people of the health service just don't need that as a frustration," he said. "We do run very close to the bone in a large number of supply goods."
The Herald understands tens of millions of dollars are owed to medical suppliers by four area health services - Northern Sydney Central Coast, Greater Southern, South Eastern Sydney Illawarra and Greater Western.
The NSW Health Department has refused to reveal how much it owes and has gagged its area health services.
South Eastern Sydney Illawarra Health did not respond to Professor Jones's claims.
The state Opposition health spokeswoman, Jillian Skinner, said she had been contacted by several businesses over recent months complaining about unpaid bills.
One company, Leeton Diagnostic Imaging, confirmed yesterday it was owed $35,752 from May until two weeks ago.
Yass air-conditioning mechanic Touie Smith was owed $18,386.50 for accumulated bills from April until the end of August, when they were finally paid.
Roger Christie, who owns Merimbula Taxi Service, said he has been owed $4423.65 since July for transporting patients and blood from Pambula to Bega hospital. As he has the only taxi service in the area he said he felt obliged to continue servicing the health department.
"Obviously, I would prefer the money was in my bank and not their's. It's an ongoing thing. I got a call at 1.30 this morning to take blood because someone had a car accident. It was an emergency so I can't really say no," he said.
The State Government has had to release $11 million urgently in the past few weeks to cover debts to suppliers after many refused to grant credit to NSW hospitals.

Hello everyone,
New guy, first post. Been searching all over on this topic, and have read most of the threads on this site. Would like to post what I've been finding on my own and gather any comments from those out there.
I have not received my permit yet so I have been experimenting with carry options at my house/property and/or going into public with my potential solutions, substituting the CW with a similar size /weight object.
My carry gun will be my SA XD40SC.
I've been trying to solve the general problem of carrying while exercising. I run, mountain bike, and road bike. For running, I think my Smart Carry will work for me, but may look at Pistol Wear PT-1 or PT-2. Mountain bike, an interim solution is to carry in my Camelbak Lobo pack. Road bike, I have modified a Mountainsmith Vibe II fanny pack to carry. It has the loop side of velcro sewed in, and I plan to attach a pocket holster within to carry my XD. This way I can adjust for draw method. (Not my original idea, but borrowed from nutnfancy on youtube).
I would like your opinions on the following:
1) Holster shirts. Has anyone tried any of these while wearing bicycle jerseys? I wear "club fit" jerseys which are not like a sport tailored fit, basically semi-fitted, but still closer than a T shirt. (Ie. I'm about 20lbs overweight if you read between the lines so don't wear the athletic cut :embarassed:). I would prefer on-body carry if I could, and this looks like a great option if it would work, as I could unzip my jersey and reach from a cross draw position. I think this would work fine with my loose fit mtb jerseys but the road bike is a ??. I am considering abetterholster.com or 5.11 tactical holster shirts. The former looks like it puts the gun in a position where the grip is less likely to print, but I won't know for sure until I try. Just testing the idea out while wearing a jersey and holding my xd under my left arm, it looks 50/50 on if it would print.
2) Fanny pack on road bike. I plan to wear at SOB position, adjusting the holster inside for drawing from this position. Does this seem realistic? It would require (with the strong hand) unzipping, reaching in an drawing the weapon. Of course I would practice first with an unloaded gun. I think I saw a few threads where folks carry in this position on a road bike, just curious how it's working out for you.
I've been reading too much in the news not to carry, which is why I decided to get my permit. In addition, bike trails / paths tend to make for easy targets, and I want to do what I can to keep myself and my family from becoming statistics.

Of course we have a right to privacy. Why should my name or my wife's name be release for print in a newspaper just because we are doing something completely within the law. We aren't criminals. In fact, we are as far from criminal as one can be, and the very fact that we were issued a permit proves this fact.
It's asinine. And our home state of Tennessee, in Shelby County, a few years ago, the Memphis paper, the Commercial Appeal (or as everyone calls it the Communist Appeal) printed the names and addresses of all the permit holders in Shelby County! All that is except for the employees of the paper that were on the list and the politicians that we on the list. They even made a database on line that could be searched of every permit holder in the state except angain, their employees and politicians. There was a huge outcry and they changed it so the addresses were not viewable.
Liberals always think it is OK to harass someone who is doing something that they don't agree with, but is completely within the law by publishing their names and info. It's stupid.

Out of Synch
March 28, 2005,
A number of surprises, and also some not so surprising things, emerged from the Home Textiles Today annual Market Basket report (March 21 issue).
And that Wal-Mart and Kmart had substantial increases in U.S.-made home textiles was astounding — especially in view of the efforts each has made in the past year for direct sourcing offshore.
Kmart, in particular, with its new Essential Home launch, took much of that program offshore.
But consistent with the overall market evaluation, the group's offshore sourcing has definitely declined recently.
In fact, when looking at the number of items evaluated in the report, of 246 tabulated fewer than 20 of the suppliers cited had produced the items in the United States. And of the 246 items, seven U.S. suppliers accounted for 108 of the items cited.
Again, not surprising in view of the trend of recent years, the move to self-sourcing is more than a trend. It is a here and now thing — and definitely not going away.
At the same time, we are hearing more than a few reports of goods not arriving as ordered — both when on a direct-buy by a retailer or via a supplier based here or offshore.
What this clearly portends is the need for more intimate supply chain relationships between retailers and suppliers.
Sooner or later, folks are going to wake up to the expense implications of getting the stuff from there to here — on-time, at the quality level presumed, in the quantity programmed, as well as at the price previously determined.
At this juncture, it is clear that all four elements are not working in synch.

|Tuesday April 23, 2002
"We'll see whether they have any depth of skills," said Eric Sheridan, an American software executive who is based in Hong Kong and attended the presentation.
US law bars trade with North Korea — which President Bush has called part of an "axis of evil" — but Sheridan said he wanted to know about possible future suppliers for his California firm if that rule changes.
Software adds to a jumble of ventures launched by North Korea for an economy that lies in ruins after decades of communist mismanagement. Flood and drought since the mid-1990s have left the government in Pyongyang dependent on foreign aid to feed its 22 million people.
The North farms ostriches, runs a casino for foreigners and rents out laborers to Russia. South Korean factories in the North make textiles and assemble cars and electronics.
The United States and other governments say North Korea also trades in missiles, drugs and counterfeit $100 bills.
The isolated North makes an unusual player in the freewheeling world of software and the borderless Internet.
But Kim Jong Il has been said for years to be encouraging high technology. He has visited China at least twice to study its reforms and last year toured a Shanghai software laboratory.
This year, North Korea has a booth for the first time at Comdex, China's annual computer trade show, under way in Beijing this month separately from the North Korean exhibition.
The North Korean booth at Comdex had no software on display Saturday, but computer terminals were hooked up to a North Korean Web site. Some showed a picture of the smiling face of Kim's father, the late "Great Leader" Kim Il Sung, whose personality cult was inherited by his son.
The US trade ban shuts North Korea out of the biggest software market. The ban dates to the 1950-53 Korean War, when American troops fought alongside the forces of rival South Korea.
Yet the North Koreans at the presentation Saturday seemed well-versed in Western standards. They said their programs run on both major American operating systems — Microsoft Corp.'s Windows and Apple Corp.'s Macintosh.
"It could be all just bunk. It's hard to say," said Sheridan. Or, he said, "behind their curtain, they could have people who are really knowledgeable and plugged into the industry abroad."
There were plenty of reminders of North Korea's intensely isolated culture of propaganda, based on an almost religious adulation of Kim and his father.
Their portraits looked down from above the speakers, who wore badges with the elder Kim's portrait and peppered their comments with references to "demolishing imperialism" and other communist slogans.
The officials said the North hopes to branch out into software for e-commerce, biotechnology and artificial intelligence.
"The government gives us a lot of assistance. Our information technology industry will surely develop very quickly," said Li Chen Jin, director of the North's Academy of Sciences.

ADHD in Women
Relationship help! I get bored.
This is my first post here, thanks for taking the time to help out!
First off, I'm 21 years old and was officially diagnosed with adult ADHD about a year ago. Recently I've been actually reading on it, trying to understand it better, and I'm learning so much (especially from you guys) about how this affects every part of my life! So I thought I'd turn to you.
I'm wondering if anyone out there has experienced this same thing and how they got through the 'lulls' of a relationship. I feel like every time I date someone new, I'm head over heels for them, thinking that they're the one, only to get bored with them a couple months later.
Well it happened again, I met this great guy who is really good to me and treats me better than I've ever been treated, but lately I feel conversations go nowhere, and I don't ever get the feeling that I miss him or want to be with him and we've only been dating like 2 or 3 short months. The other part is that he doesn't feel this way at all! He feels like everything is just perfect.
Before him I was seeing another guy for close to a year and he didn't get boring to me so quickly. But I ended it a while ago, and now I can't help but think that the more I learn about ADHD, the more I think he's got it too, and all of the problems I had with him stem from our untreated ADHD. And so now I can't stop thinking about how maybe I ended it prematurely and we could fix this…but I just started this new thing with the nicest guy. It kills me to break his heart! I'm caught in a pickle!!
Any advice or experience you could offer would be so helpful. I really am lost and have no other people to turn to. Thanks guys.
