chevy small block 305
I just bought a fully restored 1977 gmc 1500. the body and interior are in great shape and the motor has a fairly recent rebuild. it has a 305 chevy small block and i am wondering what i can do to up the power in it and the price each upgrade will roughly cost. I would appreciate if you don't post about how the 305 is a waste of time and money and to buy a 350, i like the engine and am interested in adding power to the engine. So far i have looked at a stroker kit (making it a 335), new cams, vortec RSH 1.94 heads, edelbrock 650 carb, holley 300-36 intake, and cat back exhaust. will this be a good setup or should i add or lose anything to it. i am also looking at adding 3.73 rear gears to it. just wondering what someone with a little more knowledge thinks of this and also what cams would be a good choice. thanks
Mild cam,headers,improved exhaust. Start there and see what you think
Chevy small block 305
There is nothing wrong with a 305 engine. I have had several cars that had 305 engines. Check the casting number of your heads, I think it's the 4416 is the good ones. They will have to be ported. F-Bird'88 can give you some good advice of the work they will need. This summit cam would be a good cam to upgrade to. Summit Racing® Camshafts SUM-1103 - SummitRacing.com. Be sure to buy the kit that includes cam, lifters, and valve springs.
thanks for the advice. I'm looking to make it into a high 200hp or maybe even a low 300 hp engine if possible without supercharging it. it has about 200hp right now
If your already at 200hp then you should be happy. Get you a set of gears and then you wont be bothered by anymore engine upgrades cause youll be roasting the tires off your gmc. Get you a good free flowing exhaust system and your in the money.
I have a mild 305 with edelbrock performance cam(rv cam)and matching lifters, stock 601 heads, headers, true dual exhaust, 700r tranny, 342 gears. and im happy. Last dynoed at 240hp/230tq.:thumbup:
An article w/some info/links: Chevy 305
What are the head casting numbers and does this motor have a flat top piston.
You want to end up with a 10:1 compression ratio.
A built 305 really likes to rev and does not get real busy until 3000+ rpm.
So, for a truck you want a fairly stiff gear EG: a 4.10 ratio depending on the trucks tire diameter.
For the same reason you want a high stall converter for your hot rodded 305.
pcik a converter with a rated advertized stall speed that is 500rpm above what you really want
as a 305 makes less torque than a 350 cid engine. The actual stall will be lower.
EG a "3600 stall 10" converter" will be a sweet street 3000 stall, behind a 305.
You don't want to come up short on the converter.
Thats the nature of built small CID SBC engines. Get the gears and converter right and it will run really well.
L-31 vortec heads shaved to 57cc work really good on this motor with a flat top piston, shim head gasket and a cam.
Performer RPM intake, 650-750carb, headers and dual exhaust.
if you are willing to fully home hand port a 4416 305HO head it will work really well too.
The 58cc aluminum "corvette" heads from a ZZ4 crate motor or L-98 TPI motor rock with porting on this motor too.
A 305 likes improved cylinder head flow and compression ratio just like any SBC.
The Vett 58cc heads we bought a pair at a auction to re-sell.They have almost no chamber and the pistons that go with it are deep dished.
According to Sam Weiss' flow sheets, the L30 305 Vortec head flow respectably even unported: 221 cfm int./163 cfm exh. @ 0.500" lift/28" water. Better than all but one professionally ported 416.
Needs springs/retainers, a Vortec intake, center bolt valve covers, and either self aligning rockers or adding screw-in studs and guide plates to use standard rockers.
A 305 is not the best sbc to make loads of power. You can be thankful for 8 cylinders offering powerstrokes per rpm, and a 3.48 stroke to pull. Vortec heads , summit headers, a performer cam and intake with 3.73 gears , made a big difference from stock.
A cam is good , but if you are not sinking a ton into it, stay mild. Vortec 350 1.94int heads work good/cheap in a 305, just mill them to cc. The newer ls6 beehive spring and small retainer is a stable valvetrain for a performer cam.
A low profile supercharger will get you rethinking the 305 potential. Mucho bueno.
Nothing wrong with a 305. I have one out of 86 pickup in my 32 highboy. Its got a mild Competion Cam, roller rockers, Edelbrock performance intake with 600 carb, flowmasters with headers. Gets along way faster than I want to run. Here is video of what it sounds like
32 Ford - YouTube
A stroker crank does not make more torque, the torque is simply a displacement function more equals more, less equals less; PERIOD! The only thing diddling the bore to storke relationship does within a fixed displacement is move the RPM around where the peak occurs, not the amount. Longer stroke lowers the max RPM where the peak occurs, shorter raises that point. For an otherwise idential configuration of parts that's all that's happening.
Adding a 3-3/4" crank to a 305 will increase the torque. No, it's not cost effective.

We don't normally pay much attention to rumors here, but this one caught our eye. Apparently Republicans are buzzing that Lou Dobbs, the CNN anchor who styles himself a populist but comes off more like the unhinged distant relative who ruined Christmas, is thinking of running for governor of New Jersey.
When asked about his gubernatorial ambitions, Dobbs chortled, "I'm just not going to comment." Asked early in the year whether he would ever run for anything, he said, "I cannot say never."
The Star-Ledger:
It's a hot topic in Republican political and fund-raising circles: CNN's Lou Dobbs is thinking of running for governor of New Jersey.
Several well-connected Republicans say they've heard the buzz that Dobbs, famous for his sharp commentary about Washington policies and politics, may be turning his sights on Trenton and has inquired about the steps necessary to start a campaign.
Reached by telephone Wednesday at his home—a 300-acre horse farm in Wantage, Sussex County—Dobbs would not say whether he has any such plans. Asked if he wanted to deny it, Dobbs said, "I'm just not going to comment."

One thing I've discovered from doing my happiness project is – no surprise – it's easy and fun to make a resolution, but it's not always easy to keep a resolution.
I'm fascinated by the question: what allows people to keep resolutions? Why does one couch potato suddenly decide to start going to the gym, and then goes regularly for years, while another similar couch potato just can't stick with a program? Why does my sister keep resolving to learn to cook, but never follows up? Why can't I make myself floss regularly? And yet I've been able to keep my one-sentence journal.
The first step, in my case at least, is to make a concrete, well-directed resolution. Samuel Johnson wrote a prayer that includes the line, "O GOD, grant me to resolve aright, and to keep my resolutions." At first, this puzzled me. I understood praying for the strength to keep resolutions, but why make the special request to be able to "resolve aright"? Now I understand that resolving aright is very important. (See #1 below.)

Singer Sheryl Crow -- Reese Witherspoon
Armstrong's four-year relationship with singer/songwriter Sheryl Crow would no doubt make a significant chapter in any biopic. Their affair coincides with Armstrong's much publicized battle with cancer, and Crow's music has been publicly credited by Armstrong as a key factor in his beating the disease. An actress like Reese Witherspoon not only has the vocal chops, but also the right look and age for the role of the strong, emotive singer.

re: Britney Spears Watches 'Breaking Bad?' Haha, No (17 comments)
My favorite part is when Fish admits the unspoken truth – people think that watching and liking Breaking Bad makes them intellectuals. It's insulting to assume that a simpleton like Britney could even begin to comprehend the sophisticated and intricate writing of your favorite show.
re: Melissa Etheridge Doesn't Think Angelina Jolie's Double Mastectomy Was Brave (106 comments)
I didn't know she had a boob job for Tomb Rider and I would stand corrected if I didn't google it first and saw that in her interview for Hollywood.com she mentions using padded bra and not wanting girls to think they should get implants to look good. So that was a misinformation on your side. After I read about her mastectomy I googled images of women who have had boob jobs after it and it looks nothing different then regular implants. It of course depends on the surgeon but Angelina can afford the best of the best so I don't believe hers look like wreck. As for her choosing to go public, I don't know how much of that is a preemptive strike, these kind of things can find their way to the public. For other celebs it maybe wouldn't matter as much but with her being such an advocate for all the great problems in the world and taking a role of an intellectual, serious and confidant woman, it would seem vain and "silly" thing to worry yourself about. I disagree that Angelina doesn't care about preserving the image she build for herself, no matter how much we wish it to be different we all care what others think of us, non of us is immune to it, not even her.
With that being said, I want to emphasize that don't firmly state that she did it for the reasons that I gave, I merely don't exclude it.
re: Melissa Etheridge Doesn't Think Angelina Jolie's Double Mastectomy Was Brave (106 comments)
I don't see it as a brave decision either, but I also don't think it has anything to do with cowardice. Many women who are nearing 40, had 3 children and lost weight would without any health issues and completely voluntarily go under a knife to get their youthful breasts back. The problem is that some may see them as superficial and insecure, and nobody wants that. Now, if you were to say that you are doing it for completely health related reasons and it's a matter of life and death than you could not only get great knockers but also be applauded for bravery and unbelievable personal sacrifice in order to "be there for your children". If there wasn't a possibility (or she didn't have financial means) to check herself regularly or she actually gave up young, plumb and "upwards" breasts then I wouldn't be having these suspicions but considering that there is and she didn't, chopping of her breasts seams like a drastic and unnecessary option. I was a bit reluctant to share this opinion because I now that many women suffer because of this disease on a deep emotional level which I can't even imagine and I didn't wanna offend or hurt anyone, but I also don't want to exclude this possibility however cynical it may be.

The challenges surrounding the recruitment of foreign workers are complex, with policy solutions far from simple. Recruitment agencies play an important role in facilitating and driving labor migration, but if left unregulated can abuse the workers they place via excessive placement fees or expensive predeparture loans, as well as increase the cost of doing business for employers. The research offered here examines recruitment practices and the regulatory systems that govern recruitment agencies, and provides an assessment of the gaps and possible solutions.
Thailand is well positioned to take advantage of the benefits of migration. This brief examines the country's migration challenges and two basic approaches to regularizing labor migration: Memoranda of Understanding with migrant-sending neighbors and nationality verification as a preliminary step for work permit application by unauthorized immigrants.
Predeparture orientation programs have emerged as an important tool for the protection of migrant workers for a number of Asian states. This brief examines the strengths, limitations, and areas for improvement of this intervention.
This joint Migration Policy Institute and International Organization for Migration event marks the Issue brief launch of Regulating Private Recruitment in the Asia-Middle East Labour Migration Corridor.
This issue brief examines Asian labor migration to the Middle East—a region distinguished by its major dependence on migrant workers, the overwhelming majority from Asia. The author focuses on the role of private recruiting agencies as key facilitators of temporary labor migration and perpetrators of exploitative practices.
This brief outlines the key policy challenges governments and other stakeholders face in addressing the health needs of Asian labor migrants. It highlights the obstacles migrant workers face in accessing health facilities and services at various stages of migration, before proposing five key steps for translating the growing interest in migrant health issues to visible changes on the ground.
The launch in Bangkok of an issue brief series on labor migration in Asia undertaken by MPI and IOM with speakers H.E. Phadermchai Sasomsub, H.E. Kazi Imtiaz Hossain, H.E. Linglingay Lacanlale, Andrew Bruce, and Dovelyn Rannveig Agunias.
This brief examines the complex issues surrounding labor migration from Colombo Process countries. It discusses the progress made—and the policy challenges that remain—with regard to creating efficient and equitable labor migration systems.

Hello! I'm not from the UK but I just googled it and found a few recipes:
Also I would not use candy melts...good quality chocolate is better
Hope that helps!

Tate and Lyle's Golden syrup is close but not the 'equivalent'....apparently in the international aisle of supermarkets there is sometimes 'karo' corn syrup; but I've never seen it.
There are recipes out there using golden syrup...I shall be trying these this summer. have a try first to see how it goes for you....(I've tried ganache twice now and still not totally happy with the result....) Good luck x

I used 'baking chocolate'(sugar content as well as the cocoa butter contents are much less than your everyday eating chocolate) and I found that you have to use it immediately after setting in the refrigirator. the recipe I used will follow. I wil try using our everyday eating chocolate, it might taste better as I strive to make all my cake EVERYTHING edible and it could make it more pliable to mold and form as we desire. the recipe differs from colour of chocolate. I have only tried it with your normal milk chocolate colour as it is not as bitter as your dark chocolate or as sweet as your white chocolate.
Homemade Modeling Chocolate.
200g Milk Chocolate
30ml Golden Syrup
Melt the chocolate in a bowl in the microwafe or on the stove top(using a double cooker). Mix until ALL chocolate is melted and smooth. Let chocolate cool down for a little bit(should still be melted but not as hot as directly from the stove top or microwave). Then mix in your syrup thoroughly, you will see that it will start to make a dough form as you mix and will get thicker and thicker as mixing the syrup. Mix until it forms a 'dough ball'. Wrap tightly in a piece of cling film or place in a air tight container. Place in the refrigirator to set for about two hours.
I found that after setting in the refrigirator for two hours(making it with baking chocolate) mine was VERY hard that not even my husband could work it through to be pliable. I litery could only use it for grated chocolate splinters. I placed it in the microwave oven for literally a FEW seconds and only then I could start working it through to make it pliable. Dont know if you have golden syrup in the UK. Hope this helps....

This may be of help on how to make it. Don't know about a substitute for the corn syrup though. Sorry

I'm in australia and I use Queen brand Glucose syrup which is readily available in the baking section at the supermarket. Hope you can get it over there!
Recipes as follows:
300g chocolate (dark, milk or white)
100ml glucose syrup for white chocolate
120ml glucose syrup for dark/milk chocolate
Melt your chocolate (either in the microwave or double boiler) until it's smooth and lump free.
Heat the glucose by standing the jar in a bowl of hot water (makes it easier to pour and measure). Measure out the required amount and heat it some more - I usually pop mine in the microwave for a few seconds.
Add the glucose to the melted chocolate and stir it vigorously until its well combined - gets a bit tough after a few seconds!
When you are happy with the mix tip it out onto some plastic wrap and wrap it up and pop it someplace cool (not the fridge!)
Let it sit at room temp for about a day then its good to go.
Can be a little bit grainy at the start but that just means you have to knead it a bit and get it nice and workable. You will end up with oil on the your hands but thats normal
Hope that helps!!

About MeI've always enjoyed photography but recently I've stepped out from behind the lens. I have absolutely fallen in love with modeling and I enjoy it even more than being on stage. I hope to seriously pursue modeling during this winter and coming summer. I'm a hard worker, patient, I'm comfortable trying new things, and I have a positive attitude. I will not, however, do nude or erotic shoots and I will have an escort with me which does not effect my work as a model. I hope to meet some new photographers here to build our portfolios.
I was recently in the model section of the Queens Tribune! =]

Happy New Year, Scottsdale. The Scottsdale New Year's Eve Block party went off nearly without a hitch Saturday, as revelers danced to cover tunes and watched themselves on big screen TVs.
Connie McCoy came from New Mexico to attend the block party, and said it was more than she expected.
"There's not much of a night life throughout the year in Albuquerque," she said.
The organizers did receive several complaints from partygoers who were charged more than the advertised $35 general admission fee and some people who realized too late that only those with the $100 VIP ticket received free goodies. A VIP ticket featured free alcohol, a free gourmet dinner and private musical performances.
Those who did opt for the VIP ticket said the experience was worth the extra cash.
"Sixty-five dollars is about 10 drinks, and I could drink that in about two hours," said Jimmy Mack, 26, of Las Vegas. "In a little while I'll go out among the lower class."
A complaint also came from Clark Johnson, who owns the 5th Avenue Gourmet Wine Cafe Bistro. His restaurant is in the middle of the VIP area, and he spent the evening turning away people who were carrying their free food and drinks inside.
Johnson said he lodged a complaint and even tried to strike a deal with the organizers to be a part of the party but was turned down. His tables sat empty most of the night.
One aspect that was thoroughly enjoyed, though, was the cooking stage, which featured internationally renowned cooks and celebrity chefs, such as Angie and Ruth McCartney.
Scottsdale resident Anne Sweet, 40, was the first to raise her hand when chef Brad Petersen of Mesa offered samples of his freshly made salad. She said she loved the cooking feature of the party.

BioWare, Lionhead, Rare, Bizarre Creations, Take-Two - even Valve, it seems every game developer is up for acquisition, and that's certainly the opinion Silicon Knights head Dennis Dyack.
According to the Too Human developer, the recent wave of buyouts will continue until there are "very few" developers left.
"Everyone's open to acquisition," Dyack told CVG in a recent interview. "The whole idea of being independent has its pluses and its minuses. Whatever it takes to make great games... so with us, or with Valve, that's just the reality of the industry.
"There are going to be a ton of acquisitions and mergers in the future and it's going to continue until there are very few left. That's probably the way it's going to go."
With these comments on record you'd be forgiven for assuming Silicon Knights has the For Sale sign up, and it certainly doesn't sound to bothered about its independence...
"[SK's independence is] important to a certain degree but it's not the be all and end all," Dyack continued. "It's funny because we've been an independent developer longer than most in the industry. There are very few that have been around as long as we have. I think we're definitely one of the biggest independent developers in the world now.
"Westwood used to be one of the big independent ones but they're gone now after they were bought out by EA. That was disappointing for me to see that happen, I certainly never want to see that happen with us. But at the end of the day we need to move towards what allows us to make great games, whether that means partnering with someone permanently or not."

Can you post up the script as there may well be an error in the coding...
Hi - we have been experiencing issues with a staff network drive not always mapping properly in the logon script. Specifically, the drive doesn't appear in My Computer / Windows Explorer, but if you go to Tools -> Unmap it is there.
If you unmap it and map it it works properly and appears in My Computer. I understand that this is due to the logon script running before the explorer.exe shell process has had a chance to start (user's network drives are a feature of explorer.exe).
Does anyone else have this issue? How is it resolved?
The drive mapping is actually to a DFS link, but I don't think that it is relasted to this.
Can you post up the script as there may well be an error in the coding...
Why not run scripts from the NETLOGON share?
As said already can you post the script?
Do you have 'Run logon scripts synchronously' set?
Run logon scripts synchronously
Sorry;I don't know the script to hand, but I don't think there is anything wrong with it.
The script is in a group policy object linked to the domain
I'm not sure if I have the setting "run logon scripts syncronously" set; although, the setting seems related to the issue, the two options: enabled/disabled, don't seem to allow me to ensure that explorer.exe has started before the script script runs, only after the script runs.
If you enable this policy, Windows Explorer does not start until the logon scripts have finished running. This setting assures that logon script processing is complete before the user starts working, but it can delay the appearance of the desktop.
If you disable this policy or do not configure it, the logon scripts and Windows Explorer are not synchronized and can run simultaneously.
I've also noticed that the drive is rarely mapped users logon for the first time, which I think relates to there being no roaming profile to download; thus causing timing issues.
You should disable this policy, otherwise Windows processes one after the other and not together, hence slowing logon considerably.I'm not sure if I have the setting "run logon scripts syncronously" set
To be honest, I think I did disable it for this very reason.
But I think that there are occasions when the logon script runs before explorer.exe starts, which I think is the drive mapping issue.
I think I need something like (in pseudo code):
wait 1 second
until explorer.exe = running
net use J: \\domain\dfsshare$"
Just check the script that is running I'd say. i.e. it network drive mapping part should contain something like the following:
You might need a net use x: /DELETE in a line before it if that drive letter has already been mapped i.e. as a safety precaution so that it completes correctly.Code:net use x: \\server\share
You shouldnt need to do any waiting within the script when it comes to a logon script like this.... i havent in 12 years lol
Have a feeling that there might be another setting in the GP that you need to check, but cant remember what it is offhand.
Last edited by tarquel; 19th September 2009 at 10:32 PM. Reason: didnt see Bruce's last post.
Yeah, it does seem odd, but I have seen a few posts with this issue, but no solutions.
have that problem occasionally, we just have a batch file that gets put on the desktop in the login script. anyone complains about missing drives, we tell em to run the batch file.
if that doesn't work, it's indicative of a more serious problem.
I'm sure some people set "run logon scripts syncronously" to make logon scripts run more reliably, I know our citrix supplier sets this on their sites and I've found that our logon scripts work 100% of the time with this set, without this set it seems they don't always work. I think in the past this has been due to very slow client PC's though but it's worth a try.
It's more likely to be that the drive is being remembered, do you use roaming profiles?
If you use a vb logon script you could add this section to clear all mapped drives before you map any new drives.
or this line to get rid of one line onlyCode:'Disconnect ALL mapped drives Set clDrives = WshNetwork.EnumNetworkDrives For i = 0 to clDrives.Count -1 Step 2 WSHNetwork.RemoveNetworkDrive clDrives.Item(i), True, True Next
Code:'Disconnect any drive mappings as needed. WSHNetwork.RemoveNetworkDrive "R:", True, True

Scotch - Single Malt
Auchentoshan 18yr Lowland Single Malt Limited Edition Oloroso Sherry Matured Scotch Whisky
Rating Information
- Proof66 Rating523 / 904Rabble RatingUnratedPrice (USD)$1000Proof111.6Availability BETAN/A
Rating DescriptionTier 2
This is a Tier 2 score in the Whiskey category. It means critics have highly recommended the spirit as a benchmark in the category.
Proof66 Notes
Auchentoshan means "corner of the field" in Gaelic. Auchentoshan was founded in 1823 located next to the Clyde River. According to Marc Hoffmann's book "Whiskey," it was "rebuilt in 1875 but then severely bombed the Germans in World War II with the sad sight of burning whiskey flowing into the Clyde River. It went dark but then was reconstructed in 1948, modernized in 1974, and then purchased by the Morrison Group in 1984 and 10 years later to become a subsidiary of Suntory (the current owners). They are proud of the Lowlands tradition of "triple distillation," by which they take the distillate up to a very high 162 proof, which creates the very soft, gentle whiskey that they prize. The label is pronounced, "AWK-en-TOSH-en."
Pricing note: Wine Enthusiasts report this scotch at a cool $1,000 while thewhiskeyexchange.com has what appears to be the same scotch for 68 (English) pounds.
Auchentoshan declares they've "infused" this offering with ripe citrus and green tea.
This scotch was named a Top-10 Spirit by Novus Vinum in 2008.

Full House Resorts Addresses Pojoaque Tribal Court Decision
In light of the publicity circulating related to the Tribal Court decision in the matter of Randall Fine and Fine Consulting Inc., Full House Resorts (NYSE Amex US: FLL) is issuing its understanding and interpretation of the relationship with the Pueblo of Pojoaque, Buffalo Thunder, Inc. and Pojoaque Gaming, Inc.
Full House Resorts has a management contract with Buffalo Thunder, Inc. and Pojoaque Gaming, Inc. (the "Gaming Entities"), approved by the National Indian Gaming Commission, to operate the Pueblo's gaming facilities, Buffalo Thunder Casino, Cities of Gold Casino and Cities of Gold Sports Bar.
"We are quite happy to have Full House Resorts managing our casinos," said George Rivera, Governor of the Pueblo. "Their expertise and professionalism is apparent."
Based on legal advice, Full House's position is that none of the Gaming Entities are parties to the gaming license revocation appeal brought by Fine. The management contract is not a subject of that appeal. The decision on appeal merely addressed the propriety of the Gaming Commission revocation of Fine's gaming license. Fine has not made any claim against the Gaming Entities or Full House Resorts. There is no lawsuit to enforce Fine's consulting contract, nor, in the opinion of counsel, could there be as there is no waiver of the sovereign immunity enjoyed by the Pueblo and its business entities.It is the opinion of Full House Resorts that nothing in the recent Tribal Court decision, which is the only judicial claim pending, interferes with or impacts Full House's management contract or relationship with the Pueblo, Buffalo Thunder or Cities of Gold. About Full House Resorts, Inc. Full House owns, develops and manages gaming facilities. The Company owns the Rising Star Casino Resort in Rising Sun, Indiana. The Rising Star Riverboat Casino has 40,000 square feet of gaming space with almost 1,300 slot and video poker machines and 37 table games. The property includes a 201-room hotel, a pavilion with five food and beverage outlets an 18-hole Scottish links golf course and a large, multi-purpose Grand Theater for concerts and performance events as well as meetings and conventions. In addition, Full House owns Stockman's Casino in Fallon, Nevada which has 8,400 square feet of gaming space with approximately 260 gaming machines, four table games and a keno game. The Company has also commenced a five-year lease agreement for the Grand Lodge Casino at Hyatt Regency Lake Tahoe Resort, Spa and Casino in Incline Village, Nevada on the north shore of Lake Tahoe, as well as acquiring the operating assets and certain liabilities related to the Grand Lodge Casino.

ABC Patterns - A Short Lesson
- In Education
- Last Updated: 01 March 2014
- By LA Little
ABC Up and Down Patterns
What is an ABC pattern? What are the rules regarding these up and down patterns and what are the implications?
ABC patterns can be either bullish or bearish. There are certain rules that apply to them and a rich history behind them as well. They appear everywhere in the charts and have numerous variation, but the basic pattern is very simple: AB=CD as described herein.
The history behind the AB=CD pattern is interesting. In 1935, H.M. Gartley published a book with a list price of $1500 (a virtual fortune at the time) which described - apparently for the first time - the AB=CD pattern. This is the same pattern that is commonly known now as the ABC pattern1 in todays literature2. Later technicians expanded on this work and in 1976, Charles Lindsay put a formula with it that gave him the completion target for the pattern at D. Essentially D is the length of A to B leg added to the wherever the C point ends up.
ABC Pattern Defined
The basic definition of the ABC pattern that TA Today adheres to is the following:
- A price move up followed by a retrace down in a bull market - down and then up in a bear market. The initial up or down thrust can be viewed as a reasonably straight line and is denoted by the letters A (at the origination point) and B (at the completion point).
- Once the initial thrust completes, a retrace occurs. For the pattern to hold significance (be tradable), the retrace must measure no more than a .618 Fibonacci retrace of the A to B leg of the move. Usually the smaller the retrace, the stronger the move.
- One the retrace completes and the price trend resumes in the same direction of the A to B leg of the move, the C to D leg of the pattern unfolds.
- For the ABC pattern to hold significance, when prices race past the B point of the move, volume must increase to a greater amount than previously traded a the B swing point
- If volume does expand, then the C to D leg typically equals a Fibonacci ratio of the A to B leg of the corresponding move (1, 1.272, 1.50, 1.618, and even as much as 2).
- The slope of the move from A to B is not necessarily the same as that of C to D. This implies that the time frame can be different.
What Signals a Failure?
Typically, once prices pass the B point of a valid ABC pattern and do so with volume, the pattern should hold true an extend to create the C to D leg of the pattern. If prices fall back below the low of the bar that defines the B point and close there, the pattern is suspect and one should reduce or eliminate exposure to the trade.

Sometimes I never get around to making certain dishes at home because of the ease of availability from restaurants. Thai curries are one of those. The coconut milk based curries are easily made vegan and the sweet, spice, fresh lemon grass ginger notes are always a hit with everyone. Some of the Thai or Malay restaurants might add fish sauce into the curry sauces, so definitely check with each of them. Because of constant demand, things have been changing. From the time when we had to list what to not add, to the server asking if egg was ok, or fish sauce was ok.. things have been changing.
Massaman curry is a favorite in the house right after green and red curries. Massaman has a Malay influence on the curry and hence has a lot more spices that we are accustomed to.
I added a good lot of vegetables to my curry and served it over rice. The curry gets even more delicious the next day when the spices have had time to sit and infuse a deeper flavor. Add tofu or seitan or chickpeas to this curry for variations. Super easy for days when you don't have fresh lemongrass, galangal etc to make a curry paste. Make it!
More asian dishes from the blog.
Sweet and Sour Lentils & Mango Lettuce Wraps. GF
Banh Xeo – Vietnamese Crepes.
Tempeh and celery potstickers – Glutenfree and regular wrappers.
Spicy Orange Tofu. GF
Cook the veggies till onion is golden.
Add the red curry paste, spices and cook for a minute.
Add the coconut milk and simmer until veggies are tender. Serve hot with rice or quinoa or noodles.
Massaman curry Vegetables
Allergen Information: Free of Dairy, egg, corn, soy, yeast, gluten.
Serves 3 to 4
Note: If you do not have Tamarind concentrate or pulp, use prune paste+ vinegar or vegan Worcestershire sauce (it has tamarind in it) to help add the sour. There is enough deliciousness going on in the curry, so you can just add 1/2 ts vinegar as well.

St. Martin - Day 3
So on Day 3 we arrived at St. Martin. The weather started off a little overcast, but never rained. We were going on the "Sea and See" excursion tour...a half submarine boat tour to see fishes and coral and then a bus "tour" of the french side of the island with a "shopping" stop in Marigot. Turns our the tour had its good and bad parts lol.
Got up early to meet in the Tube for our excursion. While walking there. we took some shots of St. Martin from deck 4:
the dock
On the way to the tube, we made a quick restroom stop:

Our group and the Butterfly farm group were both meeting in the Tube. You went up with your key card, your excursion ticket and photo id (passport or drivers license) for any members or you party over 18. I felt bad for some elderly people as they had forgot to bring photo ids and had to go back to the room to get them...I think this happened with other people on the St. Thomas excursion too, so remember...photo ids if you're over 18!
Then, depending on which excursion you were booked on, you got stickers (we got red Donald stickers). These stickers corresponded with picture on padels that your guides held up. Our excursion wasn't too crowded..about a bus full of people. So we followed out paddles and disembarked:
Our bus driver was "Angel Gabriel" and our guide was "Chanel #5." They were nice, but the bus tour of the island wasn't really anything. Some parts of the island weren't very nice. There was one part where you stopped for a scenic overview for 5 minutes and were allowed to get off the bus and take pictures, but we really didn't feel like it. The neat part was the sub. We drove to the dock and got on the boat. Now, we don't have any pictures of the sub part with the fish as it was hard to get pictures, but we saw lots of cool fish and coral.
Here are some pics at the dock and on the boat before we went underneath to the viewing area:
We saw a bunch of children swimming when we got there...turns out it was their gym class!

I enjoyed the sub. Then we were driven to Marigot and given an hour to shop. Overall, it was very touristy and DS and I went into one shop where I got a pendant and DS got a rum sampler for Mom and Dad. It was kind of boring, so we went into this little cafe and got banana smoothees.
They were really good...better than the one I had on the ship. It was nice to get away from the touristy shops and crowds for a bit. Then it was time to get back on the bus. We were given an option of getting off in Phillipsburg for more shopping (you had to get your own transportation back). Only one family decided to get off. Overall, it was kind of "meh", I did enjoy the boat but nothing else was really special.

Back on the ship, we had lunch at Royal Court again:
smoked salmon
Pulled Pork sandwich
Apricot tart
We went ahead and changed into out Pirate t-shirts for Pirate night.
This afternoon's entertainment was Iron Man 3. Neither one of us wanted to see it, so we had a lot of time to kill before our dinner at 8:15.
So we chose to first go to the adult pool. It was nice, a few people but not too crowded. I liked Satellite Falls, even though the misting was not turned on. We also got to finally ride the Aquaduck ...twice. Its true what they say about riding it on port days...it really wasn't crowded at all and very little wait.
Then we finally hit the rainforest room. First we tried out the showers with the colored light, scents and sounds. Some of those showers were cold!!!
I think I liked the "water fun" one the best. Then we went to the heated lounge chairs and the jacuzzi. They were relaxing and the jacuzzi had a lovely view of the island (only broken up by the window washer coming by...but at least he was quick!).
Still had lots of time to kill, so we decided we wanted to peak into the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique. Didn't exactly get to do so as two family members seemed to be in the middle of a heated arguement outside the door to it, but we did get to take pictures of the decorations outside it:
Then we finally finished up the Muppet Detective game and solved the case of the missing props:
I called him later :-)
While we were out, we saw Mickey in his Caribbean shirt, so we stopped to get a picture:
Hmmm...bases on our t-shirts this may have been another day. Oh well lol. I remember Mickey pointing to my t-shirt. I explained that it was a Doctor Who t-shirt. Mickey scratched his head and shrugged his shoulders. Guess Mickey isn't a big Doctor Who fan :-)

Pirate Night:
We already had our pirate outfits on (ok, pirate t-shirts) so we got some pictures with the characters in their pirate garb:
Dinner was in Enchanted Garden and (after two nights of fancy dining) finally got to see out table mates again,
the headband was not worn for long
pot stickers
pineapple with coconut
chilled watermelon soup
beef short ribs
dessert sampler
banana crepes
Now, after this long day we were tired. Did the pirate party sound like fun? Sure. Was it for us? Not really. So we skipped it. Yes, we skipped the fireworks. I know, I know. But we had a really early day tomorrow for St. Thomas so we decided to head to bed. I know my limits lol.

Day 4 - St. Thomas
We got up super early for our excursion. We were leaving at 7:45 and doing the Captain Nautica's Snorkeling expedition, so we both had to get showers and load up on the sunscreen before we met in D Lounge.
Having gotten our blue stickers, we headed off the boat. We had a very short walk to the Power Boats and met our captain and first mate Meghan.
DS and I both wear glasses, so before the trip I got a prescription mask and my own snorkel (DS had gotten one when she went to Grand Cayman) so all we needed was the fins. Meghan did a good job of picking the right size out for us.
On the way there, I was a little annoyed that the boat would bounce so much. If the boat hit a wave, you could really get some air time and landing back on your behind hurt! However, we did get to the snorkeling sites fast and I would be grateful for the speed of our boat later on.
On the way out there, the clouds had started gathering (no lightning, thank goodness). By the time we got to out first spot, the heavens had opened up.
I quickly became wet and freezing and we hadn't even gotten into the water yet. The captain decided to go over to our second snorkeling spot first. So we got into the water at Shipwreck Cove.
Both DS and I were really nervous about slipping on the outside, inflatable part of the boat (you sat down on it and slid into the water from there). But we both made it into the water without incident. Didn't see any shipwreck, but did see lots of fish and even a barracuda.
After about an hour, we got back in the boat and went over to turtle cove. Saw 3 sea turtles! No pictures...we didn't feel like messing with our underwater camera - we decided to save that for when we snorkeled at Castaway Cay.
I did have a bit of an embarrassing incident ...I went to clear my mask and my snorkel came off. I wouldn't have cared except, well I paid for it and was going to need it on Castaway Cay. So after debating whether or not to ask, I asked the Captain if he could dive down and get it for me. He asked, "Did it cost a lot". Umm, well 20 dollars. But he did dive down and get it for me.
It was fun seeing the fish and the turtles and Meghan was nice. The Captain kind of annoyed me at first, but he did get my snorkel back
By the time we were half way through our dive at Turtle Cove, the area started filling up with other boats...lots of other boats. And the heavens had opened up again, raining harder than before. It was way warmer in the water than out of it.
This is where my feelings started to change about our boat. It did not rock as fast as the other boats I saw in Turtle cove (the pirate ship one was really bobbing back and forth) and we were a lot quicker getting back into port than the other boats (which is good when you're being pelted by cold rain). All in all, it was a good excursion which I probably would have enjoyed more if the weather had been better and if I wasn't nervous about my first time snorkeling.

We got back to the Fantasy and took nice, warm showers. I was grateful to be back on the boat as the weather had steadily worsened. I felt sorry for the people with afternoon excursions.
Bridgecan from our tv:
It between one of the rain bands we took some pictures on deck and the headed for a nice hot lunch at Royal Court.

We were still kind of cold, so before the show, we went up to the Cove cafe to get some hot tea. I had Harmony and DS had Masala Black Chai...I tried hers and liked it a lot better...when we were at Vista Cafe I got one of those for myself. We also took some rainy pictures of the adult pool and more of the view of St. Thomas..we were right by the dock, so we saw lots of boats coming and going, even a few coast guard boats doing excercises.
my tea and a little pre-show snack
The Kon Tiki Party Barge sailing away
The Misty Mountains? No, just St. Thomas
This was the only day the boat was late sailing away. Seems we were waiting on a few people (heard announcements over the ship). After about an hour from when we should have left, we sailed away from rainy St. Thomas:
Video from our room:
The show this evening was Knight Magic...an illusionist act. We really enjoyed it and if we had been able to stay up late, we would have liked to have seen their adult show.
(Oh, I forgot on Monday that in The Buena Vista Theatre, they had Rachel Hutter, an engineer who worked on Animal Kingdom as a special speaker. We thought she was really interesting).
Anyway, after the show, we fooled around taking pictures in the gift shop:

DS wanted to do a quick round of bingo before dinner:
Then onto Enchanted Garden for dinner:
Duck Quesadilla
Blue Cheese Polenta Cake
Saffron Mussel Soup
Rosemary-Scented Medallions of Lamb
Banana Bread Pudding
After dessert, we quickly left for some activities in the Tube. After winning at Disney trivia, 50's/60's trivia, and TV tunes trivia...the trivia that we really wanted to do had arrived - 80's music trivia! We got there in time to also see the POP! gameshow:
So 80's music trivia came along and we....didn't win. That's right, only 49/50, but now I'll always remember that "Tarzan Boy" was sung by Baltimora
The long day over with, we headed back to our rooms..looking forward to another sea day tomorrow:
Next up: A sea day and Palo Brunch!
