11/22/2023 0 Comments Asclepias seedlings![]() What monarchs need is a revolution of compassion that draws a line against human privilege and supremacy, that says no more to this culture of waste and greed and violent colonization that's as suicidal as it is genocidal. Yes, putting in more milkweed and a native plant garden in your suburban landscape is much more actionable and will get people talking / thinking (even though that can already feel like a mountain to climb for many - what's native, what will work, what about the HOA, etc, all stuff we try to cover here and at the website as best we can). No, you by yourself can't go convert 25% of Iowa from corn to prairie or get the U.S. (And don't get me started on folks killing tussock moth larvae or milkweed beetles so there's more milkweed for monarchs to eat.) But it is the idolatry over one charismatic butterfly species, and the subsequent narrow perspective on what the "solution" to "helping" them is, that becomes highly problematic if we're not willing or able to address the underlying or fundamental issues at play here. This post is not to douse the flames of people rushing to spread the good news about milkweed - most of us here already know the benefits of milkweed and native plants. Without those plant communities - and the milkweed found within them - what hope should we have? For those who don't know, over 99% of the tallgrass prairie is gone in Iowa and it's nearly as dire in neighboring states. monarchs come from the northern Midwest, the so-called corn belt and the largest slice of the pie). Speaking of Iowa, it's at the center of monarch reproduction in summer (estimates are that around 38% of eastern U.S. If we can't manage those small strips for wildlife rearing, what hope do we have in the monoculture fields beyond them? I recently drove from the arrowhead of Minnesota to Des Moines, along the so-called I-35 Monarch Highway. Climate change is increasing occurrences of drought along the Mississippi flyway that stretches from Mexico to Canada, and it’s decimating fir trees in the overwintering grounds of the oyamel forest of central Mexico while also creating a risk of exposure to freak storms that bring cold rains and snows. Monarchs need MASSIVE systemic change to our society and culture at breakneck speed, not a "plant more milkweed" panacea that makes us feel better for a moment, but doesn't really practically address issues that will make a lasting difference for monarchs and so much more. Monarchs also, most importantly above all else, need an end to burning fossil fuels as well as big agriculture as it's implemented now. Monarchs and milkweed need a plant community to thrive - especially over vast stretches of a landscape, well more than a city can provide. Milkweed, like most plants, did not evolve to grow by itself. ![]() My concern is folks will rush to plant milkweed and, like so many other of their garden plants, maroon them in a sea of wood mulch with plants spaced far apart. And besides, there are many insect species at greater risk than monarchs, but we aren't planting for them. Health and life is more than one genus of plants. And they need other interactions that occur in a dense, layered native plant community interactions involving other species, interactions in the soil, interactions among the plants. Monarchs need an entire native plant community - host plants AND nectar plants. Telling folks to go get some milkweed for their small foundation bed is like telling folks to get some wheat bread crust for dinner. I don't see it as a baby step or gateway, I see it as a sleight of hand. It does not store any personal data.The call to plant milkweed - while easily sharable and actionable - is greatly reductionist and oversimplified.

The actual reason you get short stacks is limited filter height. By the book, such short stacks would run the power band higher, actually suited for a racing engine, if the cam and heads were matched up to the stacks. ![]() You may have noticed that 44's come out of the box with short stacks, usually under three inches. That's why Holley's are not velocity-stacked like Weber's. Big V8's with 4bbl Holley carbs have special plenum manifolds. A plenum is a space below the carb that acts to dampen reversion. Weber's are non-plenum carbs and need velocity stack to work right. Velocity stacks actually manage "stand off" which is a fog of fuel and air rising out of the carb throat as the side effect of "reversion," which is one reverse pulse of force outwards for every intake pulse of air-fuel entering the engine. Giving it the room you described, your carb will tune normally. One of the resources that the parts shop called and asked what a good minimum distance between top of stack and lid said that 2" was his min distance and 6" was even better(I think the latter was partially in jest).Īdd all the room you can to the space between the top of the velocity stack and the top plate of the filter. What kind (if any) benefits can I expect with the added room above the stacks? I know the air will have a better entry into the stack opening, and this will translate to what? Better cylinder filling, better throttle response? Just looking for a better understanding of what makes a carb tick and how to optimize what I have. So, tonight I made a 1.75" cardboard spacer to see if that and my 3.25" filters would fit, the cardboard was a bit more than the 1.75" and it seems that a measured filter height of 5.25" will just fit on 1/2 side and the same will easily clear on 3/4 side to deck lid(and even clear my engine harness connection above carb on that side). I was pretty sure that 6" filters would be a no go. Today I went to local VW part shop to ask what was tallest filter I could fit under my deck lid w/o standoffs, nobody had an answer. After driving some, when I removed the lids for some reason, the undersides were clean. I had also coated the insides of them to cover all the chrome edges better. I know the underside of the lid is getting "washed" by fuel, because last year when I first got the car back on the road I had plasti-dipped the chrome bases and lids black cause they looked better. Leaving only 1" between them and the lid. So, currently my IDF's have 2.25" velocity stacks with 3.25" airfilters. You can run intakes or velocity stacks as you see fit.I posted the same thing over on the samba, but some here may not go there and vice-versa. ![]() The turbos and velocity stacks are silver / chrome while the base plates, locks and air filters are black. RPM Mirror Turbos are sold in a mixed color pallet. We include a pair of mock air filters and a separate pair of mock velocity stacks so you can opt for either a race or street set-up. Each unit is a 4-piece design that includes a turbo, a base plate and lock plate. Our turbos have a cool, recessed design yet protrude out of the hood far enough to show the detail that makes them unmistakable as anything other than turbos.Įach kit comes with both a left side and right side turbo unit. Now you can show off a mirror turbo system in your favorite 1:8 – 1:12 scale ride with a pair of RPM Mirror Turbos prominently perched on your hood. A set-up such as this leaves the engine bay clean and balanced, unlike a standard twin turbo set-up. You’ve heard of twin turbos, but have you heard of mirror turbos? If not, you’re in for a treat! Mirror turbos take the lack of symmetry out of twin turbo set-ups by utilizing one clockwise rotating turbo and one counter-clockwise rotating unit. 11/21/2023 0 Comments Christmas cookie recipes cut out![]() We toasted to our German friend who is going back to Germany and we enjoyed stories of Christmas and Winter holidays from around the world. It was a beautiful evening, celebrating culture and friendship. ![]() The rest of us enjoyed making the funniest looking cookies and eating the ones that didn’t look good enough to decorate. She also brought with her some delicious lentil soup and homemade rolls to share with us. My friend from Taiwan proved to be an excellent icing decorator and my friend from Turkey proved her excellence in cooking by her technique to roll out the dough perfectly by using syranwrap in between the dough and rolling pin.

Many Christmas cut out cookie recipes taste good but the cookies spread out too much while baking causing the perfectly cut out tree to look like a indistinguishable blob. Over the last few years I’ve tried several recipes for Sugar Cut-Out Cookies and this year I finally found ‘the one.’ Finding the right cookie recipe is like finding your spouse, once you find it you’re not going to let it go and you’ll spend the rest of your life with it.

The Platypus is a carnivore: it feeds on annelid worms and insect larvae, freshwater shrimps, and yabbies (freshwater crayfish) that it digs out of the riverbed with its snout or catches while swimming. The hind feet (which are held against the body) do not assist in propulsion, but are used for steering in combination with the tail. Uniquely among mammals it propels itself when swimming by alternate rowing motion with the front two feet although all four feet of the Platypus are webbed. The Platypus is an excellent swimmer and spends much of its time in the water foraging for food. The unique features of the Platypus make it an easily recognizable and iconic symbol of Australia it has appeared as a mascot at national events and is featured on the reverse of the Australian 20 cent coin. The bizarre appearance of this egg-laying, venomous, duck-billed, beaver-tailed, otter-footed mammal baffled European naturalists when they first saw it, with some considering it an elaborate fraud. The picture below shows the venom spur on the platypuses’ leg. ![]() Although it is a mammal, it lays eggs instead of giving birth to live young. The platypus is a semi-aquatic mammal that lives in eastern Australia and Tasmania. ![]() It is one of the few venomous mammals the male platypus has a spur on the hind foot that injects venom capable of killing small animals and causing severe pain in humans.

Their current frontpage bundle is the rainforest alliance. Frankly, they're capitalizing on the fact that people want to feel good for supporting charity, while they wouldn't be able to do so without getting something in return (thus it's not really charity anymore). If you take that into consideration, that it's basically about pandering to every known cause to convince people to shop with them instead of, say, steam, then it makes perfect sense what they're doing. When it's about supporting charity and the supported charity every time i click isn't about world hunger, homelessness, or something else geared towards helping humans (which, in turn, could potentially help with other problems that they do support), one has to ask if their primary concern is actually about making the world a better place.
