"Bioinformatics is the term coined for the new field that merges biology, computer science, and information technology to manage and analyze the data, with the ultimate goal of understanding and modeling living systems." Genomics and Its Impact on Medicine and Society - A 2001 Primer U.S. Department of Energy Human Genome Program Bioinformatics also represents a paradigm shift for molecular biology, instead of taking a reductionist approach, the sub-disciplines of bioinformatics are more expansionist: they attempt to study the entire complement of a particular cellular molecule or process.

Genomics “took off” with automated sequencing 1990’s Leroy Hood made modifications to dideoxy sequencing: ddNTPs were coupled to fluorescent dyes (instead of radioactivity) DNA fragments were separated via capillary gel electrophoresis Sequence read by lasers, data was directly recorded into computer Now, instead of an autorad, we have a: Chromat! The newest DNA sequencers can determine millions of bases of sequence in a day! The increasing ease of obtaining sequence data has lead to a logarithmic growth of Genbank, the main repository of sequence data which is housed at the National Library of Medicine at NIH. Growth of Genbank Sequencing Entire Organisms Before the 1990’s, sequencing was somewhat haphazard. Depending on the researcher, different pieces of different organisms’ genomes had been sequenced. No concerted effort had been made to sequence the entire genome of an organism. HUGO changed all of that, it’s mission was to sequence the human genome, as well as a number of the genomes of model organisms. While small genomes could be sequenced directly, larger genomes were first mapped out. Mapping large genomes Sequencers needed some reference sequences to know what part of a genome they were dealing with. STSs - sequence tagged sites These are defined by a pair of PCR primers that amplify only one segment of a genome (ie. unique sequence). ESTs- expressed sequence tags These are short sequences of cDNA that indicate where genes are located within the genome. Now genomes could be cut into pieces, sequenced, and the pieces reassembled. Cutting up genomes Vectors designed to carry large pieces of DNA include: BACs- bacterial artificial chromosomes- can carry about 150 kb of insert YACs- yeast artificial chromosomes- can carry up to 1.5 Mb of insert BACs or YACs containing overlapping DNA can be assembled into contigous overlapping fragments. “Shotgun” sequencing While HUGO was busy mapping large genomes and sequencing some small genomes, Craig Venter founded TIGR. TIGR took a completely different approach. Instead of mapping a genome, they simply cut it into thousands of pieces, sequenced the pieces, and reassembled the data using overlapping fragments. It was TIGR, not HUGO, who produced the world’s 1st completed genome in 1995- H. influenzae. Finishing a Genomic Sequence A “finished” sequence is defined as one that contains no more than 1 error in 10,000 bases. Finishing a sequence involves aligning a number of preliminary sequences and correcting any inconsistencies. Overlapping segments are combined into larger assemblies of contiguous DNA (contigs). If contigs do not overlap, a gap remains in the sequence. Finishing continued The human “draft” sequence, published in 2001, contained 147,821 gaps. The “finished” sequence, published in 2004, contained 341 gaps. A gap usually contains highly repetitive DNA that complicates attempts to clone and sequence it. Finishing is a very expensive process, many genomes have not been finished. Annotating Genomes Annotation involves the identification of functionally important sections of a genome. This includes, but is not limited to, making an educated guess about what kind of protein is encoded by a given coding sequence. Annotation is performed using various computer programs. Locating genes within a genome Process is different in prokaryotes vs. eukaryotes Prokaryotes contain ORFs with no introns and very little intergenic sequence. Eukaryotes contain introns, complex promoters, and enhancers Introns range between 70 and 30,000 bp One eukaryotic gene can encode more that one different protein via alternate splicing mechanisms Eukaryotes also contain pseudogenes, ORFs which have been rendered nonfunctional by mutation Mammalian genomes contain about 23% pseudogenes Tools for gene hunting GeneMark - originally created for prokaryotes but adapted for some model eukaryotes GenScan - accepts up to 1 million bp of sequence online, more if downloaded Glimmer & GlimmerM - developed by TIGR, accepts up to 200 kb online, more if downloaded Once a genome is annotated… One can use a genome browser to locate specific loci on specific chromosomes One can then use resources such as GeneCard to find out more about a specific gene Progress of Genome Sequencing Sequenced Euk. Genomes Yeast Drosophila C. elegans Arabidopsis Mosquito Human Mouse Rat Chicken Dog Zebra fish Euk. Genomes in Progress Xenopus Cow Cat Horse Kangaroo Honey Bee Turkey Lobster Bat others… Hedgehog and Tools had to be developed to make sense of the dearth of genomic data being produced Genomic Search Engines include: BLAST- searches sequence information, either nucleotide (BLASTn) or protein (BLASTp) BLAST2- aligns two sequences, checking similarity Enterez- searches databases for textual information PubMed- searches scientific literature for text ORF finder- finds Open Reading Frames (genes) PREDATOR- predicts secondary structure of proteins ExPASy- analysis of protein sequence and structure as well as 2D gel information Calculating E(expect)-values E-values measure the “significance” of a match, the smaller E-value, the better E-values are calculated using: 1) S, the bit score, a measure of the similarity between the hit and the query 2) m, the length of the query 3) n, the size of the database E = mn2-S So, how do you get the bit score? S is calculated from the raw score, R R = aI + bX - cO - dG Where I is the # of identities, X is the # of mismatched nucleotides, O is the # of gaps, and G is the # of spaces in the gap. a, b, c, and d are the rewards, and penalties, for each of these variables. The defaults of these lower-case letters are set at 1, -3, 5, and 2, respectively. These values can be changed on the “Other advanced” line. Now that we have a raw score, the bit score can be obtained by normalizing the data: S = (lR - ln K)/ln 2 (where l and K are the normalizing parameters) These parameters are printed at the bottom of a BLAST report. Normalization enables a direct comparison of Evalues and bit scores, even if the reward and penalty variables have been changed by the user. More databases of interest: SwissProt- protein sequence database PDB- contains protein structural information OMIM- catalogs human disease genes TIGR- many searchable genomes, esp. bacterial ones GeneCard- genomic, proteomic and phenotypic info. Unigene- catalogs human ESTs Human map viewer- shows chromosomal location of genes Protein structure and function For most researchers, the final goal of genomic research is not the genomic data itself but an understanding of the proteins encoded for by a genome. Steps to determining protein structure and function: Find ORFs, or coding sequences (CDSs) Translate ORFs Is this a known protein? If not, find protein orthologs, similar proteins in different species Check if 3D structure has been determined Predict hydropathy using a Kyte-Doolitle plot Predict secondary structure of your protein What do we mean by function? The term “function” is too simplistic and is somewhat outdated. A consortium called “Gene Ontology” decided that a complete description of function must include not only “why?” but also “what?” and “where?” Why = biological process. The objective toward which this protein contributes. What = molecular function. The biochemical activity that the protein accomplishes. Where = cellular component. The location of protein activity. One example: isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) OMIM - IDH3A COG - functional categories, dendograms, isoforms- distinct genes encoding similar proteins Enzyme Commission, “EC” numbers Swiss-Prot Phylogenetic trees rooted vs. unrooted Terms used to describe phylogeny paralogs - genes which arose from a common ancestral gene within one species (isoforms) orthologs - genes from two organisms which arose from a common ancestral gene synteny -genetic loci located on the same chromosome (or multiple genetic loci from different species which are located on a chromosomal region of common ancestry) homology - sequences which are similar due to a common evolutionary origin similarity or - terms used to describe sequences without identity regard to evolutionary relationships Searching for related proteins PSI-BLAST allows one to search outward in a spiraling pattern from a central starting point. First iteration- finds proteins with similar sequences. Second iteration- can be performed using a consensus sequence computed from your first iteration. More iterations can be performed as desired. Or, one can choose a species and perform another first iteration using the results of the original search. This approach can be used to annotate ORFs from a newly sequenced genome Alternate Splicing 60% of human genes produce more than 1 mRNA Only about 22% of genes in C. elegans fit into this category Epigenetic Control It is not just the coding regions which matter. Methylation, such as that found in heterochromatin and CpG islands, also plays a role in gene expression. At any given time, there are 400,000 mC in a given cell. Since there are about 100 different human cell types, this totals 40 million methylation events in our methylome. Nonmammalian animals lack this form of epigenetic control. The # of CpG islands correlates with the # of genes on a chromosome CpGs are usually associated with genes Imprinting About 20 mammalian genes are known to be methylated during gametogenesis in either the parental or maternal copy. Imprinting may represent a “genetic tug-ofwar” between male and female interests. For example, the insulin-like growth factor 2, Igf2, is expressed only in the paternal allele. Igf2 promotes the growth of the developing embryo. The expression of its receptor, Igf2r, is controlled by the maternally inherited allele. Expression of Paternal Allele of Igf2 in embryo and placenta How does silencing work? What is the effect a loss of imprinting? Loss of Igf2 imprinting can lead to colorectal cancer and Beckwith-Wiedemann Syndrome There is a cluster of CpG islands in an insulator region near Igf2 CTCF is a protein which only binds to unmethylated DNA. 17/20 tumor samples taken from cancer patients were found to be hypermethylated in this region. What about the rest of our genome? Since only 1-2% of our genome is coding sequence what does the rest do? A majority of our DNA is repetitive sequence There are 5 classes of repetitive sequence: 1) transposon derived 2) pseudogenes 3) simple repeats such as VNTRs 4) segmental duplications 5) heterochromatic regions The first category alone accounts for 45% of our genome! Transposons Transposons fall into 4 categories: 1) SINEs, short interspersed elements, such as Alu comprise 13% of our genome These may help a cell cope with stress, RNA produced from these bind to an inhibitor of translation. 2) LINEs, long interspersed elements, comprise 21% of our genome 3) LTR retrotransposons comprise 8% of our genome 4) Other DNA transposons 3% of our genome More Transposon Facts About 50 genes appear to be derived from transposons, including RAG1 and RAG2, necessary for antibody diversity. The X chromosome has the highest concentration of transposons- one 525 kb section is 89% transposon-derived. The Y chromosome has the highest concentration of LINEs, it is the most genepoor of the chromosomes and probably tolerates insertions well.

Adam Lisberg, the Editor of the New York political media outlet City & State is moving on to handle communications for the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, the state agency announced this morning.
“It’s going to be quite a challenge, they came gunning for me hard,” Mr. Lisberg told The Politicker.
“At first I thought, I’ve be a reporter my entire career,” he said. “But I’ve always been a transit geek … I really believe in mass transit. I believe in cities, and finding ways for people to move in and out of a concentrated space is the lifeblood — not just economically — of what makes cities thrive.”
Mr. Lisberg, who was formerly City Hall Bureau Chief for the New York Daily News, moved on to combine the then-named newspapers City Hall News and The Capitol into City & State, and launched the widely-read “First Read” morning email and a blog under the same banner.
(However, his life did get a tad more complicated when Tom Allon, the CEO of Manhattan Media, which owns City & State, launched an uphill campaign for mayor in 2013.)
Mr. Lisberg, who will be making $150,000 at the MTA, said Andy Hawkins will become Acting Editor of City & State on March 30th and the publication will be conducting a “live search” for his ultimate replacement.
Disclosure: This reporter freelanced for City Hall News in 2011.

Press Release – (Cherryville, North Carolina, April 7, 2009) In today’s economic downturn with minimal availability of expansion or upgrading capital, many companies are entertaining the leasing option for replacement equipment rather than purchase. This paradigm shift will stimulate more focus on the importance of maintenance management regarding the maintenance costs associated with the operation of these units. FleetNet America, Inc announces an alternative to a fixed/full lease maintenance program called MAIN (Maintenance As Is Needed). This program includes very minimal monthly fees designed to cover administration of scheduling and follow-up in addition to un-scheduled maintenance needs. The primary advantage to the MAIN program is that no maintenance will be performed or charged to the lessee unless it is needed. Under a MAIN program, the minimal utilization of the leased equipment would directly reduce the scheduled and un-scheduled maintenance costs.
FleetNet America, Inc. is a third-party vendor management company that coordinates emergency roadside services and maintenance management services for commercial equipment. FleetNet receives nationwide service calls at its 24-hour-a-day, 365-day-a-year call center in Cherryville, North Carolina. FleetNet’s Roadside call coordinators average more than 25 years of truck maintenance and repair experience. A network of over 60,000 truck repair vendors is used to provide scheduled maintenance services, vehicle repair and emergency road services throughout the continental United States and Canada. FleetNet America provides maintenance management by managing vendors and the maintenance process through specific customer requirements in our Roadside and TMcare programs.

You’re trying to get ready for your day, and you’ve got to get your kid up and ready for school. Every morning you’re met with resistance. What gives? I can feel your pain as you’re screaming right now: “I can’t get my kid out of bed!!!”
If it’s true that your morning routine determines whether you’re going to have a good day or a bad one, dealing with such frustration can’t be good for you or your child.
There’s lots of strategies out there on the Internet about how to get your kid out of bed, but very few articles address the “why” of the problem. And since different problems require different solutions, you’re spinning your wheels if you haven’t figured out the reason yet.
The good news is that sleep problems are fixable, and you are not forever sentenced to a lifetime of frustrating mornings. Here are the top 3 reasons for why your kid may be struggling to get out of bed.
1. Your child has a medical reason for his sleep problems.
Medical causes need to be first ruled out when there are sleep problems. Excessive snoring, sleep apnea, abnormal REM sleep etc. (and more!) may all contribute to your child’s sluggish morning demeanor. While there may be lifestyle changes you can help your child make, a biological problem should be assessed by a medical provider to rule out anything that only a doctor can treat. An organic sleep problem, if left untreated, will not only affect your child’s morning wakening, but may also affect your child’s daily functioning, growth, mood and behaviors.
2. Your child didn’t go to bed on time.
Seems simple and obvious enough but there could be several reasons why your child didn’t go to bed when he should have. Take a moment to see which one (or more) of the following reasons could be contributing to his sleep problems.
Homework can put a lot of pressure on your kid. Is your kid up all night doing hours of homework? Perhaps your kid is procrastinating with homework and doing it right before bed?
Activity level can affect your child’s bedtime too. Is he in band, karate, the chess club, and swim lessons and doesn’t get home until 10pm? If so, your child may be struggling to unwind with such a busy schedule. Longer time to unwind = less time to sleep = difficulty waking in the morning.
Technology is an ever growing reason for sleep troubles in children. Technology emits blue light which keeps the brain activated. Even though you think he may be relaxing. allowing your child to watch TV, read a book on the Kindle, or watch YouTube videos on his phone is actually keeping his brain alert, and working against that healthy bed time you’re trying to set.
Social media can affect sleep too! Make sure that your child’s social life has a nightly cutoff point. Remember when you were growing up and your mom told you when it gets dark, then it’s time to come inside and get ready for bed? It’s a different generation now, but the theory still remains the same. There needs to be a cut-off point for your child’s social engagement (whether outside or on the phone) so he can unplug, unwind, and get to sleep.
Anxiety may also be affecting your child’s ability to fall asleep at night which contributes to morning waking difficulties. Talk to your child to see if he’s been feeling anxious lately. In a related category, nightmares can affect your child’s sleep too. Disrupted sleep can cause your child to oversleep, because when he finally knocks out he didn’t get good quality of sleep.
3. Your child doesn’t want to face the day.
Depression is another reason for not wanting to get out of bed. Have you noticed a mood component to your child’s difficulty with getting out of bed? I ask you to assess for this, since oversleeping is a common sign of depression. If your child is not looking forward to his day, of course he’s not going to want to wake up and deal with it!
School-specific blues can also be the problem too. Does your child get out of bed easily on the weekends? If the answer is yes, find out the reason why. Is it simply because he gets to sleep in, or is it because he doesn’t have to go to school? And if it’s because of school, what is the reason for not wanting to go to school? School problems needs to be addressed sooner rather than later. Problems with peers, teachers, or grades at school can affect your child life-long.
Bottom line: Now that you know the reason for those difficult mornings, check out these strategies for helping to get your kid out of bed and on to a productive day:
Please comment below: Has your child ever had sleep problems? How did you figure out the cause and what strategies did you use to solve the problem?

And the gun seizure tests begin:
Police evacuated citizens from their homes within a quarantined area near Smith Elementary School Saturday night (July 17, 2004) to conduct a broad gun sweep of the neighborhood following the shooting of Oshkosh police officer Nate Gallagher. Residents reported returning home from area shelters — where they were herded by police — to find their guns gone. Others watched in awe as police took their firearms after giving police consent to search. Some were told by police their firearms would be subjected to ballistics tests, and would be returned.
“However, the bullet that hit officer Gallagher was not found,” said Corey Graff, executive director of Wisconsin Gun Owners Inc. “So how can police conduct ballistics tests if there’s no bullet with which to match the results? It defies logic.” Graff said the biggest issue is what he calls the department’s “Guilty-until-proven-innocent” posture towards citizens….
Warrants for searches were issued for at least two homes, (perhaps more) but homeowners in the area reported having all their firearms taken by police. Some witnesses said the whole neighborhood was evacuated by force and citizens were being told – not asked, but told – to hand over their guns. Some weren’t even asked.
What I’m wondering is if this little incident was ordered by the Oshkosh police, or if it was ordered by others interested in learning just how willing Americans are to submit to having their weapons seized.

Fatehgarh Sahib, November 27
The Sirhind-Fatehgarh Sahib Municipal Council (MC) has constructed night shelter with all sort of facilities for the convenience of the needy and deputed eight member staff for its maintenance. But the needy people are not aware about the night shelter due to lack of its publicity.
The building was constructed in 2017 by the MC. Only few hundred people have stayed here during the past six years. The night shelter has failed to serve the needy in the real sense as officials choose a wrong site for its construction in the remote Humayunpur area of Sirhind. It is quite far from gurdwaras, railway station and bus stands.
“The MC pays salary to the staff through a contractor on the DC rates. The civic body started renovation of the night shelter recently. Hardly anyone stays here as the facility is located in a remote area,” said Ashok Sood, MC president.
Jasandeep Singh, manager of the night shelter, said, “Eight employees have been deployed for the maintenance of the night shelter. The facility has two separate halls to accommodate men and women. There are 50 beds with proper bedding, blankets, quilts, room heaters, toilets and bathrooms with the facility of hot water in the shelter.”
He said, “We visit railway stations, bus stands and gurdwaras to shift people, who sleep on roads, to the night shelter, but they prefer to stay there. We also arrange transport for them to bring them to the shelter. As winter has begun, the occupancy at the shelter would increase.”
Residents say they rarely saw people staying at the shelter. They say it seems to be a formality.

Q: My boyfriend left me almost five years ago, but I’ve never gotten over how much he hurt me. He lied to me about everything. He cheated on me with my friends. He borrowed money from me and never paid it back. We only did what he wanted to do, and whenever he didn’t get his way he threw a tantrum. He left me by moving out one day while I was at work, without ever saying good-bye, and left me to pay the rent by myself. Every day I go over and over in my mind the things he did, the things I should have said, and what I should have done differently. Since he left I haven’t been able to connect with anyone new. I want to move on, but I constantly think about him until I work myself up into a froth and get completely exhausted. I know I need to forget about him and get on with my life, but for some reason I can’t let him off the hook. What can I do?
A: It’s been said that holding this kind of resentment is like mixing a cup of poison for someone else and then drinking it yourself. Grudges are like addictions in that they keep us fascinated the way a moth is fascinated by a flame, and to the same self-destructive effect. Your boyfriend stopped hurting you long ago. He’s no longer the problem. Today it’s your mind that is tormenting you. In a sense, you’re in a trance whenever you’re ruminating about him. The question is how to wake up. This is exactly the sort of question that good psychotherapy can help answer.
In my experience, these kind of obsessive ruminations always serve some defensive purpose. They mask awareness of feelings or ideas you don’t want to notice by keeping your attention focused outwardly on the injustice the other person committed. They’re like hard shells protecting your soft heart. The way to stop feeling at the mercy of your resentment is to go beneath it to the vulnerability you’re trying to ward off through anger.
Here’s one possibility about what could be going on. Since this guy walked all over you, is it possible that on some level you weren’t completely clear that you deserved better? Sometimes, when we internally “protest too much,” about how unjustly we were treated, it’s because we’re really trying to convince ourselves of the truth of what we’re saying. As strange as this might sound, you might actually believe, on the deepest level, that your boyfriend was right to leave you, either because you imagine you failed him in some way or because you were somehow unworthy of his love. If you unconsciously feel something like that, then, by constantly pleading your own case in your obsessive ruminations, you deny your own self-doubts while simultaneously punishing yourself for your “failure” by keeping yourself miserable. There does seem to be something self-punitive in the mental torment you’re going though and in the fact that you’re not letting yourself get into another relationship after all these years. These guesses of mine may be all wrong. I offer them only as one example of the kind of unconscious processes that keep people stuck in ruminations; and to encourage you to do all in your power to shift your attention away from the wrongs he did to you and focus more on what’s going on inside you. In any case, your ruminations must serve some psychological purpose; whatever it is, you’re probably trying to complete some internal work that needs to be done.
On the question of “letting him off the hook,” — he’s not on any hook at all. It’s you who are impaled on your memories. The real challenge here isn’t punishing him, it’s letting go. If low self-esteem issues or unconscious guilt are issues for you, then, if you face and work through them, you may finally be able to believe wholeheartedly the things you’ve been telling yourself about his character. And if you can do that, you’ll be in a better position to stop obsessing about him because you’ll really know that he isn’t worth it. And more importantly you’ll also know that you really do deserve better.

Could be OLD GAS that you mentioned. 4 year old gas, even mixed with fresh fuel, will gum up the intake valve stems which will make the valves stick, which will cause the push rods to bend and flatten lifters/cam lobes.
Happened to me. I had to pull the heads and hammer out the valves and use lacquer thinner to get the varnish off, and change the cam and lifters and push rods. old gas can make a big mess in the valve train.

Sound tracking gear.
For checking noises from engines my neighbour lent me a" mechanics stethoscope" . It looks like a doctors piece of gear that has two ear pieces and the listening proble is either a steel or wood screw in pointer. You place the pointer on the engine where you think the knock is and listen. As you think it is no.8 rod bearing , if you could listen with a probe on the sump, you may track it down. I had a bad cam and lifters in my 347 stroker, (caused by a "loose" cam gear retaining bolt.) and pinpointed the equivalent lifters/rockers with this piece of gear. Sorry i dont have a picture of it but i think you will get what i am describing here.

did you check cam to rod bolt clearances ?
I seen one that the new distributor cap was arching thru and made it knock also

|1Gary||Because it is only on number 8 I agree it is internal and the more you run it "trying" to test it the more damage you are creating.Take it back apart and the hell with a video.A knock is a knock and it is serious.|

it does get faster if the engine is rev'd but it kinda has it's own beat at times.
I did think about disconnecting the flex plate from the crank to isolate it but it going away when I pull spark to #8 makes me think it's something inside the engine.
The summit block was bare and clearanced for a stroker already, I installed a Scat rotating assy. and used the rod bolts they supplied. I did use all arp studs on the crank. the rods did not have stud/nut combos...they came with 12 point screws for added clearance.

It has full floating pins with a standard type clip.

Not based on rpm? Got an iphone make some videos and lets hear it.
If it does not get faster based on rpm its something out side the motor knocking against the block. But if it rattles when you let off the gas its a lose rod bolt. Under pressure they make a little less noise. Not much...
Check all the bolt on items. Alt, water pump, powersteering. Make sure its not something to do with the belts making all the noise. I would go pver everything before i ripped the engine out of the van. But i got a feeling its coming out. Maybe setup an engine stand to run the engine out of the truck and. Check it before/after to make sure its ready to install. Fyi. Sometimes its better to Use wallet and let a younger back go to work for you and remove the engine. If theoil pan is not clear then not much point in pulling it. You will need room to work.
I would drop the trans and start it back up and see if the noise is still there. But its probably got to come out and most vans are not going to make this easy unless you go with open exhuast. Then you wont be able to hear.
Never used summits blocks but did they give you rod bolts or did you buy your own. Are they all tighted so the flat side is facing the block not a point. 5.7 rods or 6.0? You didnt use stock rod bolt?
Did you Torque the rod bolts according to the spec of the bolts or the block? Also does your engine or bolts require tightening and losing the bolts during the install process? Rod resized during bolt change?
Sorry for the questions and no answers but trying to get a handle on the problem. Also some of them are just to lead you in the right direction. No need to answer everything with long details.
|11-05-2012 04:23 PM|
Here is some questions you need to ask yourself:
What kind of oil pressure does it have??. Kind of low??.
What does the oil look like??.
Do you think even if you could get the pan off,you could clean out the engine from a bad bearing let alone check the crank??.
Does it have press fit piston pins or full floating pins.What kind of locks if full floating pins??.
Decide right now the worst and be willing to accept it.
You can run tests like you did pulling plug wires,but at the end of the day sounds like there is something very wrong that needs to come back apart out of the van.Do not run it much anymore.

Thanks for the reply!
I bought the block from summit already clearanced for a stroker crank. I swear I triple checked all of my fasteners but I guess you never know if you missed something. I thought to check the flexplate also but haven't yet. The pan should be a real PITA to pull in vehicle! It is a really hard knock and almost feels like something is hitting the inside of the manifold. This engine has the poppet injectors that are all concealed inside the manifold... I was thinking that maybe the #8cyl. poppet popped out and compression is banging it into the manifold? I'm so lost I was just trying to think of anything else it could be other than a rod bearing. The weird thing is that it does not make the noise directly related to RPM. It does kinda have a pattern but if you gas it it doesn't seem to be based RPM solely.
|11-05-2012 01:08 PM|
Not sure about the fuel injection. But it should not be the issue. I have herd them click and clat a little but a full on knock is not efi unless its from a badly leaking injector.
I would be willing to bet its a loose rod bolt.
That being said did you clearence the block for the larger crank. Most of the time they fit but sometimes they just bearly touch and will make noise.
I have also seen a flex plate make some aweful noise. But usally that does not go away when a plug is pulled.
How hard is it to get the oil pan off?
|11-05-2012 10:58 AM|
|chucksrt||I just listened to it again and the knock is not consistent . i am going to pull the valve cover but it sounds like it is in the intake manifold. this engine has the spider assy fuel injection...is it possible that the injection popped out of the manifold and that compression is banging it against the upper manifold? i just wanted to see if anyone has had a similar issue before i go ripping everything apart again.|

383 build knock?
Hey guys, I built a 383 stroker for my 96 Chevy Express 1500 Van a while back and had a ton of issues. I haven't really driven it other that to move it around. It has had noise in the engine that I thought was due to bad gas (a mix of 4yr old and new 93 octane gas 50/50) I found that my MAF was dirty and when I cleaned it, it was not as noisy. I have babied it when I did move it. I moved it today and I drove it around the block to get the juices flowing and it was ok (it's normal noisy self... I thought I needed to check the rocker arm adjustment again) but I stopped it and ran in the house came out and it was making a heavy knocking souns. So bad that the intake manifold felt like it was being hit. I pulled plug wires to see if the noise would stop and it did when I pulled #8 cylinder. Is that the tell tale sign that it has a blown rod bearing? This van is a PITA to work on ,even to just remove the valve covers!!! I thought I triple checked everything when I built it but I guess I missed something. I have had solo many issues with this build I am at a loss!! So if the spark is pulled and the knock goes away does that mean the rod bearing is bad? Sorry for the long post. I am sad!!!

Ah! Disney Vacation Club… Disney’s “best kept secret.” Or, as I like to call it, “Disney’s Most Insidious Marketing Ploy.” Here you are, in the middle of enjoying a dream Disney Vacation, and there they are, telling you how much money you’ll save on your next Disney Vacation by purchasing a timeshare. You’re already thinking about how much you want to come back next year, but worried about how much it cost you.
But wait! You can come back soon, and stay at a Deluxe Resort for the cost of a Value Resort! All you have to do is make a long term financial commitment and the dream of yearly Disney vacations can be yours! With all the money you’re saving, you won’t need those discounts and offers Disney regularly makes to the masses. Who needs 35% off the price on your rooms, discounts on theme park tickets, and Free Dining when you can be saving money by locking yourself in to paying thousands of dollars at full price AND constantly increasing annual maintenance fees?
Now I’m sure you came here to look at pictures of the new Polynesian DVC Villas Deluxe Studio Room, and not read my long-winded opinion on whether or not purchasing a DVC membership timeshare can really be considered “saving money.” So I’ll get back to the topic at hand.
The new Polynesian DVC Villas Deluxe Studio Rooms sleep up to five guests each and feature a kitchenette, “enhanced” storage space for convenience and comfort, and two separate bathroom areas. One is a full bathroom with a tub/shower…
and the other one has a shower and sink…
Of course, both have toilets. The two bathrooms is a big plus, especially if you’ve got 5 people sharing the room.
But where does that 5th person sleep? A pull-down armoire bed complete with painted artwork from Lilo & Stitch. Because you have to have Lilo & Stitch if it’s Disney and related to Hawaii.
Overall, these rooms do look great, and I’m sure that DVC members will be excited to stay in them. As for me, I’ll stick with a heavily discounted theme park view room at the normal Polynesian Village Resort.

Bitcoin ATMs are a type of machine that allows users to buy cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum for cash or a debit card. In some cases, you can also sell your Bitcoin for cash. These machines are an important part of the cryptocurrency ecosystem. Despite their popularity, they have not become a mainstream product. However, they can still be useful. The following are some of the benefits of bitcoin ATMs. Read on to learn more about the benefits and features of these machines.
The bitcoin atm will ask for your identity and phone number. It will then perform a criminal watchlist search and verify that the ID is owned by the person making the transaction. If you do not provide the correct information, the machine may require further information, such as a phone interview or enhanced due diligence. If you do not pass the due diligence, your transaction may be blocked. This is not uncommon, but it's always better to be safe than sorry.
A bitcoin atm's KYC check is quite strict, and it can take several minutes to complete. A person may be blocked if they do not have enough identification. To avoid this, individuals should ensure that they have multiple wallets. A good strategy is to use cold wallets when using cryptocurrency. This will prevent you from being exposed to scammers. The best option is to have a few cold wallets. Then, when you need to sell your bitcoins, you can simply scan the QR code displayed on the ATM monitor.
When using a Bitcoin ATM, make sure to carry a valid ID and a phone number. Then, the machine will do a criminal watchlist search and verify your ID ownership. It may also ask you for more information, such as a phone interview, or conduct enhanced due diligence. If the device detects that you do not have enough information, your transaction may be blocked or aborted. If you don't have the right information now, you should not use the Bitcoin ATM.
In addition to the physical bitcoin, many bitcoin ATMs allow you to buy other cryptocurrencies. This includes Litecoin, DASH, and Ethereum. Despite the name, there is no physical bitcoin to store. If you want to sell it, all you need to do is scan the QR code on the monitor. If you'd like to send it, you can also do so in the same manner. This process may take a while, but if you do so, it will be safe.
Despite its popularity, the Bitcoin ATM does not offer the best security. Most of them are safe to use. They only ask for an ID and a phone number and perform a criminal watchlist search. Aside from detecting fraud, these ATMs also prevent theft. The system also checks your information to prevent fraudulent transactions. If the software detects fraud, it will block your transaction. If you encounter fraud or a hacker, your ATM will immediately alert you to this. To get a detailed overview of this topic, see here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitcoin_ATM.

First, FY for your bigoted slur. I have many Jewish friends and for the most part of my life experience, jews are great, ambitious, family-oriented people. Guys like you deserve all the grief you bring onto yourselves.
Second, there has been no short squeeze here. We've tried to explain on various threads that much of the short interest represents hedge offsets against larger long positions, and or downside bets hedged with short puts and long-dated calls. The committed shorts are not convinced of anything by last Q and so they remain in place... we think that will continue. You guys who think the stock is going to be seriously juiced up or down by panicky shorts miss the point that most of the professional shorts went on well above the current levels.
Retail shorts? Assuredly most were unhedged, same as it ever was, and no doubt we've seen them crushed out since $23 on up.
Here's our update: present levels are likely to attract new shorting.
The problem is that the shorts who would like to "double down" at higher level have the same issue long have when buying a dip...I know, I did that twice with GMCR. I was unbelievably hard to hit the buy key when the knife was falling... But OH does it feel good now.
Oh, one other thing, have you tried to borrow GMCR shares lately? Retails guys are not going to get any. One reason is institutional long have by now pull shares from the pool available for securities lending at their custodian. No specific knowledge this time, but I once sold Sec Lending for Bank One and have a reasonable understanding...
How can you say that most shorts are on at higher levels, when this could not be the case based on the short numbers published. The short interest was 25 million on the way down in the 30's and mid 20's. It is now 50 million. There is no possible way 50% of the shares were shorted above 40.

(Dino Fekaris/Freddie Perren)
Mammoth hit written by Dino Fekaris and Freddie Perren and recorded by Gloria Gaynor that reached #1 on the Billboard chart in 1979 and #1 in the United Kingdom a day later.
It was not intended to be a hit, as it was released on the B side of “Substitute”, an old Righteous Brothers song (Gloria did like her remakes) but savvy DJs flipped the record over and helped turn it into a radio staple. Soon, Polydor was rushing copies with “I Will Survive” on the A side. It was a smart move, because “Substitute” didn’t even manage to break into the Billboard Hot 100 Singles.
“I Will Survive” was covered four times in 1979 alone, including a country version by Billie Jo Spears, which is more of a polka or Texas two-step than its original disco incarnation. In 1980, Gloria Gaynor’s original version won the first and only Best Disco Recording at the Grammy Awards.
It has been translated into and performed in several languages, including Czech, French, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, Russian, and Turkish.
The song has been covered by groups ranging from the Brotherhood of Man to Cake to Gladys Knight & The Pips to R.E.M. Cake’s rendition is played when Turkey’s Galatasaray SK football team scores a goal. In 1998, it was also the theme tune for the France’s World Cup Champion soccer club.
It has featured in several movies, including The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, Four Weddings and a Funeral, and Men in Black II. (Frank the Pug does an inimitable rendition.)
This song has pervaded just about every facet of our modern, multi-media culture, including amusement park rides, TV shows, and video games. There was even an e-card version featuring a cartoon turkey who clucks her way through a parody of the song, claiming she will survive Thanksgiving. It is the #1 e-card ever featured on American Greetings, garnering over 30 million hits.
Other animals have covered the song, including Crazy Frog and Runt of the Litter in the 2005 animated film, Chicken Little. As recently as 2009, The Pussycat Dolls used some of its lyrics in their song “Hush Hush”.
“I Will Survive”, a song that people seem to either love or hate, has delivered on the self-fulfilling prophecy in its title.

I went to Kohls to pick up my packet for The Color Run
Outside was all decorated for the event and there was no question I was in the right place, haha!
So much swag, I wanted to buy it all - so many fun pieces and colors. How about that purple leotard, right?! Just kidding..
I had 2 tickets and since my sister couldn't go, I invited my friend Karina. She brought her son and another friend and they walked together. My friend Celeste (above) had gotten a ticket but nobody to walk/run with her so we hung out and it was so fun to see everyone! It had been awhile.
The stage area where they did color throwings and had music going
This zone of color was new and harder to get off than all the rest but I still liked it.
Karina & I at the end with our medals
The bubble machine was a great addition this year
Actual medal swag! I am not totally sure of my time but finished in less than an hour. It was fun to be out with friends and others in the community. Plus the weather was excellent! The Color Run (err walk in my case..speed walk) is one f my favorite events to participate in these last few years.
What's your favorite 5K?

Another week, another blog post on my writing process.
There are always up days and down days and inbetween days, so they say. This week, as far as writing goes, has included not just one down day but a whole week of them. No writing. None. Nada…. partly because of the death of a friend and the days before leading up to that time, partly because of rehearsals and dress rehearsals for our upcoming concert of Annelies, and partly because I am not sure that the behaviour of one of my characters matches the motivation.
As for writing, I know this up-and-down-ness can be part of the process. There are invariably doubts and interference…but really? This many?
Today the library for some unknown reason has spat out eight previously on hold books when I did not request them. Funnily, three relate to other manuscripts I have in mind. Is this a sign?

Taking cues from the sunniest bits of the Beatles and the Beach Boys and the rock ‘n’ roll urgency of the early Kinks and Stones, the Young Veins, the new band from ex-Panic at the Disco members Ryan Ross and Jon Walker, is undoubtedly a sound you’ve heard before.
By Ross’ account, that’s not such a bad thing.
While the guys’ former band broke barriers by introducing emo kids to vaudevillian-tinged dance-punk, these days Ross seems content in mining the past while decrying what he sees as a lack of quality on today’s airwaves.
“We’re trying to be the band that we aren’t hearing on the radio right now,” he says “It’s sort of like a crusade. I think that, in a broader sense, we just want to play stuff that sounds real. Everything is so computerized these days and it’s all edited and everything. Everything sounds so perfect, and we just want to be a band that sounds like a band.”
“A band that sounds like a band” might be the best way to describe the primitive, honest tunes Ross & Co. — including bassist Andy Soukal, drummer Nick Murray and keyboardist Nick White — have penned for their debut, Take a Vacation!, which arrived last week.
The band will spotlight many of those tunes at three gigs this week opening for Rooney, the L.A. band that also just issued a new disc last week, Eureka. First up is a show Thursday at House of Blues Anaheim ($15), followed by stops Saturday at the Music Box in Hollywood ($17.50) and Sunday at the Canyon Club in Agoura Hills ($15). Black Gold also appears on all dates.
The Young Veins’ premier effort — produced by Rob Mathes (who was behind the boards for Panic’s last album, 2008’s Pretty. Odd.) and Phantom Planet’s Alex Greenwald — finds Ross and Walker leaving the most ’60s-minded cuts from their former group out to sunbathe in the warm California sun. About half the record was written before Panic split.
The result glistens with rich guitars and warm harmonies, attributes that Ross explains stem from his partnership with Walker. “Keith Richards has some sort of quote that says ‘it takes two people to write a song,’ and I’m of that school of thought, too,” he says. “Half the time I write stuff, I get halfway through and want to throw it away, but I’ll give it to (Jon) and he’ll finish it.”
Hearing Ross speak so highly of his new band makes one wonder how things are personally with his previous bandmates. Singer Brendan Urie and drummer Spencer Smith are currently compiling their third effort under the Panic banner. Ross says he hasn’t spoken much to either since his and Walker’s departure.
“For a while everyone was being polite — ‘Yeah, we’re still friends,’ or whatever — and I guess we still are. But I haven’t talked to them in a really long time. You’re in something for that long with somebody and it’s just gone the next day. I feel like we just need some time for everyone to, like, cool out.”
Whether they manage to reconnect as friends or ever reunite (Bamboozle 2016, perhaps?), Ross says he, Walker and the rest of the Young Veins simply want to focus on their new venture.
“For a while there I wasn’t sure that anybody cared about being the best at anything, and it’s nice to have a group of guys that feel like we’re doing it for the cause,” he says. “Maybe we’re just really young and naïve for thinking music can matter, but it does to us.”
Rooney with the Young Veins and Black Gold perform Thursday at House of Blues Anaheim, 1530 S. Disneyland Drive, $15 … Saturday at the Music Box, 6126 Hollywood Blvd. in Hollywood, $17.50 … and Sunday at the Canyon Club, 28912 Roadside Drive in Agoura Hills, $15. Call 714-778-2583 or 800-745-3000 for more details, or go online at either the House of Blues website or Ticketmaster.

So sorry you haven’t heard from me recently. For those of you who don’t know, I took off a couple of years to do an MFA in Creative Writing at Lesley University’s low-residency program. (Lesley is in Cambridge, MA). In any event, I’m nearly at the end of my time there, but this last (fourth) semester has been particularly grueling. Hence, no posts.
Now that I’ve got my second submission in, I have a window of time to put up some new reviews of books that I met in the Fall. I hope you enjoy reading them.
If all goes according to plan, I hope to graduate this June. Please keep your fingers crossed!
As I mentioned before, I’m working on an MFA in Creative Writing at Lesley University. I’m also staying in Oslo, Norway for this academic year as my husband won a Fulbright to be a visiting researcher at Oslo University.
For these reason, I’m going to give this blog a rest for December and most of January and hope to be back next spring with something to entertain and provoke.
I hope you all enjoy this picture taken this Fall in Lillehammer, Norway. Heather is something that’s used instead of flowers at this time of year. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
All Best Wishes,
This Fall, I’m going to confine myself to book reviews of various books I’ve been reading over the spring and summer. Much though I’d like to, I can’t do more than that as I’m in my last year at Lesley University, working on my MFA in creative writing. If all goes according to plan (fingers crossed) I should graduate in June 2015.
I hope you enjoy reading these reviews, and as always, please comment in the comment box at the bottom of the page.
Have a wonderful fall!
I hope you’ve enjoyed reading these lessons on craft gleaned from my first semester at Lesley. As June approaches, I have to disappear to prepare for my third residency that takes place from June 19-29 this year.
I look forward to reconnecting with you all later this year! Meanwhile, have a wonderful summer…
Just in case you’re wondering where I’ve gone, I’m currently participating in the low-residency program at Lesley University, which means that I have to travel to Cambridge MA twice a year for 10 days a piece. As I sit here in my room at Mary Prentiss typing these words, I am coming to the end of my second residency. Which means that I’m about to begin my second semester in the MFA Program for Creative Writing.
If all goes according to plan, I should graduate June 2015. In the meantime, expect to see more posts in this space, starting early February. Mondays, I will devote to craft, Wednesdays to book reviews, and Fridays to anything interesting, intriguing or fun that catches my eye!

Weeks: City has an opportunity to curb LGBT prejudice, stereotypes
I am writing to express support for the Shreveport Fairness Ordinance, which would add protections for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) individuals from discrimination in housing, workplace decisions, and in public accommodations.
Research shows that prejudices and stereotypes are very much alive and without such ordinances, great employees and citizens are still discriminated against. I am extremely proud of my city for considering a move which would put us in line with 163 other cities in the United States who have chosen to show the world that we believe in treating all people fairly at work, as well as in housing and public spaces.
It is unconscionable to me that people can still get fired just for being gay in Louisiana. I cannot believe that there is no federal law to protect LGBT individuals against workplace discrimination.
As a management professor, I can tell you that the research shows that workers are more satisfied, perform better, and stay on the job longer if they feel that they can be themselves without fear of retribution. I hope that we will someday live in a society where people feel free to be whoever they are openly and honestly, and where the best workers will feel comfortable knowing that employment decisions are truly based on performance and not prejudice.
Companies in Shreveport will benefit from this ordinance as well. We will be better able to recruit the best and most innovative employees because, more and more, prospective employees want to be assured that their employer is fair to all people. I applaud Shreveport for this important step forward, and I hope that others will join me in supporting the ordinance.

Cairn Isle is an island on the south-west of Karamja, south of Tai Bwo Wannai and west of Shilo Village. To access the island, player must climb a rockslide at the Karamja side (requires level 15 Agility), and then run across the wooden bridge linking up the two islands. The crossing attempt can be failed (an almost-surety at lower levels of Agility, as every one of 8 attempts in one test, at level 15, produced simply falling into the water). If your character falls, near-drowning causes 3 sets of 10% of the players health (i.e. a player with 700 health will be dealt 70-70-70 life points) points of damage and always washes the player back to the Karamja beach. However, walking across the bridge will greatly improve chances of successfully crossing, just not until higher Agility levels.
Cairn Isle is involved in both Tai Bwo Wannai Trio and Shilo Village quests. One of Timfraku's sons, Tinsay, resides in Cairn Isle before the player convinces him back to the village in Tai Bwo Wannai Trio. Rashiliyia's son Bervirius is also buried on the isle, and the player must explore his tomb and use the items found there to further progress during the quest.
Exploring Cairn Isle is one of the easy Karamja Tasks.
- Cairn comes from the Scottish Gaelic word: "càrn", which is a pile of stones used as a landmark.
