LS Engine Pulleys - LS Accessory-Drive Swap Guide
Written by Jeff Smith on April 14, 2009 Bolting A Gen III/IV Engine In To An Early GM Muscle Car Isn't Difficult, But There Are Some Shortcuts That Can Save You Time, Money, And Hassle--And We've Compiled Them Into An...One of the hottest engine swaps in our world right now is the Gen III/IV (or LS, if you prefer) engine transplanted into a '60s or '70s GM muscle car. These engines not only are more powerful than the old Gen I small-blocks, but they're also lighter, don't leak, are easier to work on, and are far more efficient. It's everything a car crafter could want, but swappers have discovered that these engines don't bolt in to a Camaro, Chevelle, or Nova without modifications. While there are quick and expensive ways to mount an alternator, power steering pump, and air conditioning compressor, our goal is to show you how to do this while watching that budget. The good news is that you can get what you need without having to spend big dollars. It all depends on how trick you want to get.
GM Accessory-Drive Layouts
All factory GM systems place the alternator and power steering pump on the driver side with the A/C compressor mounted low on the passenger side driven by a separate belt. Within this basic layout, there are three significant variations based on whether the system was designed for a truck, the original LS1 Camaro/Firebird platform, or a Corvette. As for the A/C, all three systems mount the A/C pump in generally the same spot, but the mounts are not interchangeable.
The Corvette drive is the tightest to the front of the engine and places the alternator on top with the power steering pump underneath. This arrangement is wider at the top, offering maximum clearance toward the bottom of the engine. The next system was used on the Camaro/Firebird and early CTS-V Cadillacs that employ a harmonic balancer that projects out farther than the Corvette. This drive system places the power steering pump on top on the driver side with the alternator positioned underneath. The third orientation is the truck/SUV that uses the deepest balancer, pushing the accessory drive the farthest forward on the engine. The truck orientation is the narrowest and tallest of the three drives with the alternator up top and the power steering pump underneath. The truck system is the most common of the three but is the least visually attractive. It may also present hood clearance problems on cars with low hood lines. It cannot be used with any passenger-car LS EFI intake manifold because of interference between the throttle body and the idler pulley.
We also discovered a glitch where an F-car-style factory alternator bracket bolts to an aluminum 5.3L block (and we'll assume most other aluminum blocks), but when we tried to bolt it to an iron 6.0L block, there was one missing bolt location on the block and another that was not drilled or tapped. It's unclear whether this missing bolthole extends to all iron blocks. Roger Kunkel sent us a photo of his solution based on an F-car alternator rear mount location, leaving the missing bolt out of the front mount.
While we have not performed this swap, it does appear that a Gen III LS1 F-car accessory drive, for example, will bolt on to the later LS2 or LS3 engines (Gen IV) as long as the F-car balancer is used. Also keep in mind that if you change balancers, you must follow the factory-recommended procedure for torquing the factory balancer bolt. The spec requires an initial torque of 37 ft-lb and then using the torque angle method to tighten the bolt an additional 140 degrees. This technique applies to the one-time-use torque-to-yield GM bolt. If you plan on lots of swaps, consider going to a reusable ARP bolt.
Harmonic Balancer Depths
The following chart lists the dimensions of the three different pulley depths used on the Corvette, Camaro/Firebird, and truck accessory drives. We've listed two different ways of measuring these, both with the balancer on the engine and on the bench. The depth of balancer dimension is measured from the rear of the balancer hub to the leading edge of the balancer/pulley (overall depth), which can be used to identify a balancer not mounted on an engine. We also included the depth from the front cover to the front of the balancer if it is installed on the engine.
Balancer | Depth Of Balancer (Inches) | Depth Of Balancer (On Engine) (Inches) |
Corvette | 3 7/16 | 2 1/8 |
Camaro | 3 13/16 | 2 15/16 |
Truck | 4 3/8 | 3 11/16 |
What Fits--And What Doesn't!
The main focus of this story is to give you an idea of which factory-available accessory drives can be used for engine swaps. But just as important is which factory configurations don't fit. The difficulty with generic information like this is it all has to be qualified with a bold-faced "it depends" because of the multiple fore/aft locations for LS engines in muscle car chassis. Not all engine conversion mounts place the engine in the same location, so be aware of this major variable. For example, the Street & Performance, ATS, and Morrison mounts (and probably others) locate the engine in the same position, but the Hooker mounts (for early Camaros and '68 to '72 Novas as an example) locate the engine roughly an inch farther aft. The BRP mounts raise the engine up and also push it much farther forward. In the interest of available space, we'll save these details for a later story. In this sidebar, we deal mainly with Gen III/IV alternator and power steering packages. As for the factory A/C pumps, in most cases the factory A/C compressor will not clear the chassis without notching the engine crossmember.
The '64 to '72 GM A-body cars include Chevelle/Malibu, Pontiac Tempest/Le Mans/GTO, Buick Skylark/GS, Olds Cutlass/F-85, and since the early '70 to '72 Chevy Monte Carlos are based on an A-body chassis, these cars should also be similar to Chevelle fitment details. For all these cars, the factory Corvette accessory drive will clear all suspension and steering components. The downside is that this system tends to be hard to find and expensive. Camaro-based accessory drives don't fit Chevelles because the alternator crashes into the steering box. The truck drives will work if modified with a 5-inch-diameter power steering pump pulley to clear the steering box, but most car crafters shy away from this system for aesthetic reasons, since the alternator sits very high.
For early '67 to '69 Camaros/Firebirds and '68 to '74 Novas with a factory front subframe, either the F-car LS1-style or the Corvette drives will fit, although the F-car alternator is snug. If you're using the Hooker mount kit, you will have to notch the engine crossmember to clear the alternator. The truck accessory drives are way too tall to clear the low hood line while, again, the Corvette accessory drive will bolt right on if you're fortunate enough to own one of these systems.
The most important change for the second-generation ('70 to '81) Camaro/Firebird is that these cars converted to front steer, moving the steering box in front of the axle centerline like a Chevelle. This makes fitting the F-car LS1 accessory drive, with its low alternator, tight. It will clear the steering box, but clearance is minimal depending on which engine mounts are used. The Corvette-style drive will clear everything, while the truck system will not fit under the stock hood line. As with the other body styles, the A/C will only work if it is relocated up high on the passenger side.
For those considering an LS engine into an '82 to '92 Camaro, the F-car accessory drive will bolt in without serious modifications except that the factory A/C compressor will only clear with a notch in the engine crossmember. In terms of other later-model swaps, it appears that swapping an LS-style engine into a C4 also has significant merit. As for an accessory drive, it appears that a Corvette (Y-car) front dress will work.
GMPP Kits
Accessory drives are some of the most difficult components to design on an engine, and no one does it better than the factory. GM spends thousands of dollars ensuring these systems are not only reliable but also quiet and easy to repair. To take advantage of this, GM Performance Parts now offers two different accessory-drive kits that offer all the necessary components to bolt on a complete system to the front of a Gen III/IV engine. The 19155066 kit is configured like the older F-car or Camaro/Firebird LS1 engine drives but is actually an '06-style Cadillac CTS-V arrangement. The catalog calls out the 19155067 system as designed for the LS2 and LS7 engines, but it will work on most all Gen III/IV engines as far as we know. This system is based on a Corvette configuration. Both kits include an A/C compressor along with all mounts, bolts, and belts. For those who don't need an A/C pump, there's a rumor that GMPP will soon release a new system without the A/C compressor to trim the price even further. The best part about the current systems is the $825.85 price tag. We priced the parts individually and the cost more than doubles, so the value is already high.
Power Steering Pumps
There are two types of power steering pumps used on the Gen III/IV engines. Trucks use the original Saginaw Type I pump with its integral metal fluid reservoir, while passenger cars use the newer Type II power steering pumps. There are also two different Type II pulley shaft diameters at 0.660 and 0.750 inch. Some information points to the smaller diameter as used on Corvettes, but we've purchased several passenger-car Type II pumps that use the 0.660-inch shaft diameter.
The factory parts necessary to mount a plastic factory remote reservoir system are expensive at around $100.00, and the part numbers can be found on Kwik Performance's website under Tech Tips, but there are alternatives. You can create a custom remote reservoir using AN lines and fittings for roughly the same price. If you are building your own remote reservoir system, the return line should be a minimum of 5/8-inch id, while the high-pressure side is normally a -6 AN.
The last variable is power steering pump pulleys. We've found there are many different pulley diameters, depending on the application. A smaller pulley offers more clearance, but it also increases pump speed, especially at idle. Changing pulley diameters will also require a new serpentine belt.
Kwik Performance
The problem with most aftermarket accessory drives is the entire system ends up costing a lot of money--anywhere from $850.00 to $2,500.00, so we began searching for a low-cost alternative, which turned up a new company called Kwik Performance. As a SEMA member, Kwik had access to GM's CAD drawings of the Gen III/IV engines and used these specs to create a new generation of accessory drive pieces that solve many of the problems associated with swapping a Gen III engine into early muscle cars. Kwik created three kits based on balancer dimensions for trucks, F-cars, and Corvettes. One big advantage of this idea is it eliminates the purchase of a new balancer. So if you have a truck engine, you can purchase a Kwik alternator and power steering mount kit for $287.00 that will bolt directly to your existing engine and clear the chassis. We did the math to get an idea what the total cost would be to convert a truck accessory drive for use in an early Chevelle. The kit allows you to retain the use of a truck or F-car-style alternator, and the truck accessory drive will require a Type II power steering pump and pulley, but that's the only major requirement. You'll also need a power steering pump pulley. We found several at the junkyard on '90s V-8 Cadillacs for $5.00 each. A new factory reservoir package will run another $100.00 , so we decided to do a remote reservoir that can use AN fittings with a nice aluminum tank from Summit Racing. Street & Performance, among many other companies, offers custom-made power steering hose kits for your application.

Kayaking trip on river turns deadly in central Arizona
PAYSON, Ariz. -- Authorities have recovered the body of a Phoenix-area man who apparently drowned while kayaking on a remote stretch of the East Verde River in central Arizona.
The Gila County Sheriff's Office says the body of 64-year-old James E. McComb was retrieved by a state Department of Public Safety helicopter about 11:30 a.m. Monday.
A four-person kayaking group reported that one of the members drowned Saturday afternoon. They say his kayak overturned and couldn't be righted on the river west of Payson and north of Fountain Hills.
The other members of the group were eventually able to retrieve the body, but had to leave it at a marked sight for pickup later as they went for help.
Sheriff's officials say they are investigating McComb's death.

Flow sensitivities are the derivatives of the variables that describe the fluid flow with respect to the parameters that determine the fluid flow. Sensitivities are of interest in their own right and are also of use in flow optimization, control and design and in the calculation of perturbed flows. Problems arise in all sensitivity calculation methods in the presence of discontinuities and other complexities such as shock waves, contact discontinuities and rarefaction waves that commonly occur in super and hypersonic inviscid, compressible fluid flows. Flow sensitivities are calculated using finite difference quotients, automatic differentiation and the sensitivity equation method for a variety of numerical methods. Explanations for the inaccuracies arising in the numerical approximations and implications these inaccuracies have on different applications are discussed. Possible corrections for the inaccuracies are outlined.

Sunday was a bummer all round with Hamilton getting blown out in the Grey Cup and Bears getting blown out by a similar score. In the "pass happy" CFL, the Riders rang up 268 yards on the ground and another 245 in the air while poor Hank kept overthrowing receivers in the first half. Austin will have to run him around the stadium a few times before the game starts, just to wear him down a bit. What's the bet the rest of the CFL will run the ball more than the NFL, next year. Oh well, there's always next year . . .
I think you could have brought in the patriots and the riders would have destroyed them to, nobody was going to beat these guys yesterday. Time for hank to ride off into the sunset and we start building a new QB. I don't know if lefevour is the guy, but we need to start building a new QB .
Oh shoot, forgot about him. The Ti-cats used a three QB package that Dan featured in, to get to the Grey Cup. then once there they forgot about him like I just did.

LGBT Groups Seek to Intervene in Prop. 8 Challenge
Categories: A Clockwork Orange, Breaking News
SAN FRANCISCO -- Lambda Legal, the National Center for Lesbian Rights (NCLR) and the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) today asked the U.S. District Court in San Francisco to allow Our Family Coalition, Lavender Seniors of the East Bay, and Parents, Families, and Friends of Lesbians and Gays to intervene in Perry v. Schwarzenegger, a federal lawsuit challenging California's Proposition 8.
In an order issued June 30 and confirmed at a hearing on July 1, Judge Vaughn R. Walker granted a motion to intervene by supporters of Proposition 8, and declined to rule on a request by plaintiffs for an immediate injunction staying the marriage ban. He called instead for a trial to resolve a number of critically important factual questions about LGBT people and constitutional rights, including questions about same-sex couples as parents, whether Proposition 8 was passed with discriminatory intent, and whether allowing same-sex couples to marry undermines the stability of heterosexual marriages.
"Denial of marriage inflicts harms that vary by age, socio-economic class, the presence of minor children and the many other ways the gay community is diverse, often stigmatized and uniquely vulnerable," said Jennifer C. Pizer, National Marriage Project Director for Lambda Legal. "These groups wish to illustrate for the court the diverse needs of their members and the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) community generally to provide the full factual record Judge Walker said will help the appellate courts as they decide whether LGBT people in California have the same basic rights as the Golden State's heterosexual population."
"The questions posed by the court are exactly the questions our organizations have been addressing for years in state and federal courts all across the country," said James Esseks, co-director of the ACLU's Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender Project. "Again and again we've seen that the more courts know about LGBT people, the better they understand why everyone must be free to exercise the same constitutional rights regardless of sexual orientation."
"We believe the involvement of these community groups will significantly help the Court decide the case," said Shannon Minter, Legal Director of the National Center for Lesbian Rights. "Judge Walker said he believes the appellate courts will benefit if he creates an evidentiary record about the people affected by Proposition 8, the supposed reasons for the initiative, and its actual effects. His view is consistent with our experience that more information helps when courts are facing novel questions about LGBT people and our families."

Auburn coach Gene Chizik said he liked the looks of Tuesday's tackle-football practice at the University of Tampa, the third workout in Florida for the Tigers as they head to Friday's Outback Bowl against Northwestern.
"I thought the tempo was up,'' Chizik said. "It was a little shorter today because of so many events, but we're coming down to the end of the week, anyway. This was our `Wednesdayish' practice for game week. We're going in the right direction."
Chizik said he thinks Auburn has found a good mix of work and fun.
"With all of these events you kind of have to watch that, you have to temper them back,'' he said. "It's been really, really good for the players because everything hasn't been mandatory. It's been a great mix with different things to do where they can have fun, and get a little rest, too."

There are 946 girl children born for every 1,000 male children born in State
The alarming slide in child sex ratio in the in the country and in Karnataka prompted the Government of India to declare January 24 as "National Girl Child Day" in 2008 with the objective of raising sensitivity towards the girl child.
In Karnataka, according to the 2011 Census, there are 946 female girl children born for every 1,000 boy children born.
In 2001, the sex ratio stood at 943.
Laws to aid
Though the Pre-Natal Diagnostic Techniques (Regulation and Prevention of Misuse) Act, 1994, lays stringent guidelines to prevent sex detection and termination of female foetus, there are scores of special schemes aimed at helping girl children get educated and grow up to be independent women.
Welfare schemes
In Karnataka, Bhagyalakshmi Scheme was launched in 2006 with the purpose of correcting the adverse sex ratio.
It is an insurance scheme that guarantees every girl child in a Below Poverty Line education and health benefits until she turns 18.
The sex ratio figures, however, indicate two things: that all is not well in the implementation of various girl child-related schemes and legislation and that deep-seated prejudices against girl children in society are very hard to uproot.
The prejudice that begins at birth assumes various dimensions as girl children grow up, which is indicated in the several hurdles they face in being educated and the continued horrors of dowry harassment that claims many lives every day.

The projects consisted of scenes of 2 minutes, 3 mins, and 5 mins. I have so much more respect for the people who do Steadicam for a career because it's really tough. If you don't know what a Steadicam is, look it up because it's awesome. I'm sure to learn more within the next week or so, so stay tuned.

... which was also busy, we had a couple of kind Samaritans allow us to be seated before them. We were very grateful. Then after being seated, there was a brief, but tense disagreement between waitresses about whose table we were at. We were very happy when one waitress finally acquiesced. The service was great and the portion size was impressively accurate for the kids. A great day and evening was had by all.
Dad and (Some) Kids Visit HealthWorks

We ended up staying there for about 2.5 to 3 hours. The place was small enough that I did not feel like I had to keep a wary eye out ...

It was still quite foggy when we headed for the local farmer's market in South Bend. It is open 3 times a week and they sell fruits and vegetables, meats, cheeses, baked goods and then some craft items. I was intrigued by the number of varieties of apples on sale. So many that I had not heard ...

For the past few days, I have been noticing a change in the performance of my trackpad button. It was getting harder and harder to register clicks with it. I had to click in different areas of the button, and found that it required more and more pressure to work.
Yesterday, no matter where I pressed, or how hard I pushed the button- it would not work. The scrolling and cursor control are fine. I am still able to click with the trackpad itself as well. In addition, I can hook up an external mouse and use that without problem. Spent most of yesterday scouring the web for similar stories. As usually, I have encountered a fairly isolated issue hehe! I found a small group of posts from users who encountered a squishy and erratic trackpad button, but not many with total loss of functionality. Among the possible solutions offered that I attempted: repairing permissions, having updated firmware and software etc., changing options in system preferences, and even the origami solution http://ibloggedthis.com/2006/06/29/a...utton-problem/ Nothing has worked- the button still looks fine, but does not work. I am glad that the cursor and scrolling are still fine, and that I have the option to click on it- but I am used to the button and I like using it!! I will probably scout out a local shop for repairs tomorrow- but if anyone had any insight or ideas- I would love to hear them! |

My dad has an old powerbook where half the trackpad button doesn't work anymore. The half that doesn't work is very squishy, and has no resistance from pressure. I think it just gets worn out. How old is your laptop?

I just thought I had the same problem, but discovered that my external trackpad which was in my bag had randomly turned on and the button on it was wedged on. So while the rest of the mouse pad continued to worked I couldn't click on anything.
So try checking your bluetooth devices haven't unintentionally connected to your macbook. |

Mine was working fine until literally 5 minutes ago. I got up to print and when I tried clicking with the trackpad it wasn't working. I have to press harder than I usually have to. I can her it click down but nothing happens so I have to click it harder and it will work. It feels almost like it's stuck. I just got this MacBook last December and never had any issue until now. Any way to fix it?

A bulged battery will cause this issue.
If you have a removable battery - remove it and see if your trackpad now works. If so, it's time to replace the battery. If you don't have a removable battery - take it in to Apple and let them check it out. I cannot be held responsible for the things that come out of my mouth. In the Windows world, most everything folks don't understand is called a virus. |

Hello. I had the same problem, but fixed it successfully thanks to bobtomay. He was right on the money when he said, 'A bulged battery will cause this issue. If you have a removable battery - remove it and see if your trackpad now works. If so, it's time to replace the battery. If you don't have a removable battery - take it in to Apple and let them check it out.' I removed the battery and everything is fixed, including the right side of my bluetooth laser mouse. Previously, I'd been receiving a message to replace the battery soon. Many thanks to bobtomay!!!

Thanks so much for the tip bobtomay!!! Saved my day My trackpad was not clicking and my Mac was just randomly highlighting stuff, moving things around, and making mayhem of my files, emails, and whatever today. So, I took the battery out as suggested -- was radically bulging (I don't know what I was thinking in just letting that happen...! ) and now everything is cool again... Thank you! Now, off to order a battery -- although it'd be great if they just replaced it... -Kathryn |

The Church was the first to respond to a Labor Office request, last year, seeking help to fight high unemployment in the Czech Republic. A declaration of cooperation was signed between the two organizations at the conference.
The Catholic Church in the Czech Republic currently employs about 5,000 people, and will hire many more, it said, to maintain and rebuild churches and other property slowly being returned to the Church after it was confiscated during Czechoslovakia's communist regime. The real estate, including buildings, forests and fields, are valued at 75 billion koruna ($37.95 billion).
The Church did not cite the number of expected job openings.
Cardinal Dominik Duka said much of the returned property is in need of reconstruction and repair.
The Labor Office said it expects hundreds of new jobs to be available and will help pay for training.

Reducing Antibiotic Prescriptions »
"A unique type of poster placed in exam rooms helped reduce unnecessary antibiotic prescriptions for respiratory infections during flu season. The approach could help reduce costs and extend the usefulness of these drugs.
Antibiotics a"...
MINTEZOL (thiabendazole) is indicated for the treatment of: Strongyloidiasis (threadworm) Cutaneous larva migrans (creeping eruption) Visceral larva migrans
Trichinosis: Relief of symptoms and fever and a reduction of eosinophilia have followed the use of MINTEZOL (thiabendazole) during the invasion stage of the disease.
Thiabendazole is usually inappropriate as first line therapy for enterobiasis (pinworm). However, when enterobiasis occurs with any of the conditions listed above, additional therapy is not required for most patients.
MINTEZOL (thiabendazole) should be used only in the following infestations when more specific therapy is not available or cannot be used or when further therapy with a second agent is desirable: Uncinariasis (hookworm: Necator americanus and Ancylostoma duodenale); Trichuriasis (whipworm); Ascariasis (large roundworm).
The recommended maximum daily dose of MINTEZOL (thiabendazole) is 3 grams.
MINTEZOL (thiabendazole) should be given after meals if possible. Tablets MINTEZOL (thiabendazole) should be chewed before swallowing. Dietary restriction, complementary medications and cleansing enemas are not needed.
The usual dosage schedule for all conditions is two doses per day. The dosage is determined by the patient's weight.
A weight-dose chart follows:
Weight | Each Dose | |
g | mL | |
30 lb | 0.25 (½ tablet) | 2.5 (½ teaspoon) |
50 lb | 0.5 (1 tablet) | 5.0 (1 teaspoon) |
75 lb | 0.75 (1½ tablets) | 7.5 (1½ teaspoons) |
100 lb | 1.0 (2 tablets) | 10.0 (2 teaspoons) |
125 lb | 1.25 (2½ tablets) | 12.5 (2½ teaspoons) |
150 lb & over | 1.5 (3 tablets) | 15.0 (3 teaspoons) |
The regimen for each indication follows:
Therapeutic Regimens
Indication | Regimen | Comments |
**STRONGYLOIDIASIS | 2 doses per day for 2 successive days. | A single dose of 20 mg/lb or 50 mg/kg may be employed as an alternative schedule, but a higher incidence of side effects should be expected. |
CUTANEOUS LARVA MIGRANS (Creeping Eruption) | 2 doses per day for 2 successive days. | If active lesions are still present 2 days after completion of therapy, a second course is recommended. |
VISCERAL LARVA MIGRANS | 2 doses per day for 7 successive days. | Safety and efficacy data on the seven-day treatment course are limited. |
**TRICHINOSIS | 2 doses per day for 2-4 successive days according to the response of the patient. | The optimal dosage for the treatment of trichinosis has not been established. |
Other IndicationsIntestinal roundworms (including Ascariasis, Uncinariasis and Trichuriasis) | 2 doses per day for 2 successive days. | A single dose of 20 mg/lb or 50 mg/kg may be employed as an alternative schedule, but a higher incidence of side effects should be expected. |
**Clinical experience with thiabendazole for treatment of each of these conditions in pediatric patients weighing less than 30 lbs has been limited. |

Some might look at my tattoos and assume I was a biker chick back in the day. Truth is I've never been on a motorcycle or had the desire to own one.
This is probably a good thing since I can hardly ride a bicycle!
The closest I've ever gotten to a motorcycle was a few Saturday nights ago when my husband asked if I'd join him at the Costa Mesa Speedway. It was Harley night.
I'd never been to Speedway, didn't know much about it, but lately I'm into exploring all sorts of new experiences.
In the past few months I've taken a high performance driving course at the Great Park, learned how to drive a NASCAR stock car at LA Racing, and am a first-time dog owner. I'm either living large or in full-blown mid-life crisis.
It was time to have a Speedway experience.
When we pulled into the OC Fairgrounds parking lot, I couldn't believe how long the line was to buy tickets for Costa Mesa Speedway!
I wondered if the droves of people were there just because it was Harley night.
Apparently not.
Seems Speedway is hugely popular in Orange County, according to Brad Oxley.
And Oxley should know. His dad, Harry, and mom, Marilyn, along with 1937 World Speedway Champion Jack Milne, opened the doors of the Costa Mesa Speedway on June 13, 1969.
Since then it's been 43 years of alcohol-burning motorcycles with no brakes, free-style motocross, speedway side cars, even motorcycle demo derby nights.
The air is filled with thrills and spills as crowds of up to 5,000 come out to cheer riders on.
Costa Mesa Speedway holds the title of being the nation's longest-running weekly event of its kind.
Brad Oxley and his wife, Jaleen, now run the speedway.
Oxley says Speedway is more than just a business. "It's our family's legacy," he told me.
He says grew up at Costa Mesa Speedway.
From about the time he was 9 years old, he's handed out programs, cleaned bathrooms, sold peanuts, taken tickets, you name it -- he's done it. He's also been a rider for more than 30 years and is a two-time national champion.
Speedway is the oldest running motor sport, he says.
The sport has had a champion since 1924 with only one exception, and that was during WWII. The sport was largely based in England, and they were being bombed during the war, so speedway was forced to take a break for those years.
Today it's the number two most popular sport in Europe, with soccer being No. 1.

Kukla's Korner Hockey
The Voice Of The Canucks?
by Paul on 05/25/11 at 02:29 AM ET
Comments (7)
from Bruce Dowbiggin of the Globe and Mail,
"Take that, Ben Eager," CBC play-by-play announcer Jim Hughson exclaimed as the San Jose forward's penalties sabotaged the Sharks in Game 2 of the NHL Western Conference final against Vancouver.
Hughson was assuming the voice of Canucks retribution on the feisty Eager, a nice stylistic flourish. But it's led some outside Vancouver's orbit to question whether Hughson has been a little too in-sync with the feelings of the Canucks and their fans.
After all, goes the thinking, if Bob Cole and Don Cherry can be pilloried outside Toronto for a perceived bias toward the Maple Leafs (Cherry boasts of his blue-and-white fandom), should the same standard not be applied to the No. 1 play-by-play voice of Hockey Night in Canada?

Yes. It's a national broadcast and I want to hear the game called in an exciting, non-partisan manner. And if he is going to be in favor of one team then he should make it clear.

I totally agree. I'm an American but Versus used CBC feeds at times in the early rounds and I heard Hughson calling some Canucks games and thought he embarrassed himself and his network.
Posted by RoneFace on 05/25/11 at 04:25 AM ET
I could never see Mike Emrick doing the same thing on a national broadcast…even if it was his New Jersey Devils playing against a canadian team.
Posted by Geno71 on 05/25/11 at 09:38 AM ET
Hughson is the biggest homer commentator EVER. OK, maybe Glen Healy is just as big a homer and man, the two of them together produce a pretty much unlistenable broadcast.
I can only hope that he and Healy don't get the Finals assignment.
Posted by Garth on 05/25/11 at 10:06 AM ET
So people hate the CBC crews calling games… they hate the between-periods commentators, and they hate the postgame analysts…
Remind me again, why is it again HNIC is the gold standard?
Posted by Primis on 05/25/11 at 11:01 AM ET

I like the whole CBC production. So, I don't know what that's aboot. I see them as the gold standard when compared to FOX / NBC / VS.
Posted by SnLO from beyond the M-1 on 05/25/11 at 11:15 AM ET
Remind me again, why is it again HNIC is the gold standard?
Probably because it's still miles better than Versus, TSN or NBC.
And as much as Hughson is terrible, he's not the entire broadcasting cast, he generally just does Canucks games.

In the default configuration, packets conforming to this protocol are allowed to pass unchecked through the firewall. These packets could be used to create a covert channel through the firewall. PLATFORM: Check Point VPN-1/FireWall-1 DAMAGE: Packets configured to conform to the RDP specification could be used to create a covert channel through the firewall. SOLUTION: Apply Service Pack 4 and install the SP4 hotfix available from CheckPoint download site (http://www.checkpoint.com/techsupport/downloads/downloads.html). ______________________________________________________________________________ VULNERABILITY The risk is MEDIUM. This vulnerability can only be used to ASSESSMENT: create a covert channel through the firewall. An intruder must already have access to both sides of the firewall to setup the channel. ______________________________________________________________________________ [Start Inside Security GmbH Vulnerability Notification] FOR PUBLIC RELEASE ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Inside Security GmbH Vulnerability Notification Revision 1.4 2001-07-10 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The latest version of this document is available at http://www.inside-security.de/advisories/fw1_rdp.html ----------------------------------------------- Check Point FireWall-1 RDP Bypass Vulnerability ----------------------------------------------- Summary: It is possible to bypass FireWall-1 with faked RDP packets if the default implied rules are being used. RDP (Reliable Data Protocol, but not the one specified in RFCs 908/1151, a Check Point proprietary one) is used by FireWall-1 on top of the User Datagram Protocol (UDP) to establish encrypted sessions. FireWall-1 management rules allow arbitrary eitherbound RDP connections to traverse the firewall. Only the destination port (259) and the RDP command are verified by FireWall-1. By adding a faked RDP header to normal UDP traffic any content can be passed to port 259 on any remote host on either side of the firewall. Implied rules can't be easily modified or removed (except all together) with the FireWall-1 policy editor. Impact: Given access to hosts on both sides of a firewall a tunnel to bypass the firewall could be built using this vulnerability. Such access could be gained with a trojan horse that uses this vulnerability to connect from the inside back to the machine of the attacker. But also arbitrary connections from the outside to machines behind the firewall (even if they are supposedly totally blocked from the in- and outside by the firewall) can be established, for example to communicate with infiltrated programs like viruses. Affected systems: Check Point VPN-1(TM) & FireWall-1(R) Version 4.1 Releases tested: Build 41439 [VPN + DES] Build 41439 [VPN + DES + STRONG] Build 41716 [VPN + DES + STRONG] (SP2) Vendor status: The vulnerability has been reported to Check Point and a fix is scheduled for today. We want to thank Check Point Software Technologies for their quick reaction. Detailed description: As FireWall-1 rulesets are created they are translated into the INSPECT language (similar to C) and by default include the file $FWDIR/lib/base.def which itself includes $FWDIR/lib/crypt.def in line 259. Together they define protocol names and the so called implied rules (for FireWall-1 management). In line 62 the macro accept_fw1_rdp is defined to accept any eitherbound connection that matches the following characteristics: - Protocol UDP - Destination port 259 (RDP) - RDP Command RDPCRYPTCMD (100), RDPCRYPT_RESTARTCMD (101), RDPUSERCMD (150) or RDPSTATUSCMD (128). The RDP command types RDPCRYPT = {RDPCRYPTCMD,RDPUSERCMD,RDPSTATUSCMD} and RDPCRYPT_RESTART = {RDPCRYPT_RESTARTCMD} will permit traversal of faked RDP packets (regardless of the value of NO_ENCRYPTION_FEATURES, undefined by default). Proof of concept code: Proof of concept code has been submitted to Check Point. We are planning to make this code publicly available within a few days. Suggested workarounds: - Comment line 2646 of base.def ( accept_fw1_rdp; ) - Deactivate implied rules in the Check Point policy editor (and build your own rules for management connections). - Block UDP traffic to port 259 on your perimeter router.

Once Somerset pacers made quick inroads into the top order of Auckland Aces, it was always going to be an uphill task for the New Zealand team. And the Aces didn't find too many avenues to bounce back as they went down tamely to suffer their second successive defeat in the Champions League T20 clash at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium on Tuesday.
Aces managed only 125 for seven, but they made a fine bowling fightback and pushed it into another nail-biting contest like their loss to KKR, Steve Snell ( 33 not out) and James Hildreth (34 off 34 balls) rallied Somerset before the English side squeezed to victory off the last ball, winning by four wickets.
As much as the Trinidad and Tobago openers looked to have fallen in love with the Hyderabad wicket, their counterparts at Leicestershire Foxes were just not willing to give in to its charms. In an encounter that the English outfit will look to forget as quickly as possible, T&T won by 51 runs.
Making a beelineChasing a big target of 169 runs, the Foxes should have been in a hurry to score runs. Instead, they seemed to be in a tremendous hurry to return to the dressing room. Samuel Badree struck twice, and so did Ravi Rampaul. And add one more from Sunil Narine - the Foxes were squeaking at 20 for five after six overs. The only man who had an answer on this sub-continent wicket, Pakistani all-rounder Abdul Razzaq tried to push through a partnership with James Taylor.
Hoisting Sherwin Ganga for a six, he made it clear that the Caribbeans still had some work to do before winning. But with more than two runs needed of every ball in the last half, Razzaq could only delay the inevitable. And once he departed for 21, the only question was by how many runs will the county team lose.
Brief scores: Auckland 125/7 (Vincent 47; Thomas 2-21); Somerset 126/6 (Hildreth 34, Snell 34 no; Bates 2-13)

The history of advertising 9 - Magic Markers
campaignlive.co.uk, Friday, 25 March 2011 12:01AM
For almost three decades, no sound was more synonymous with an agency creative department at work than the squeaking of its Magic Markers.
And no smell could be said to be more closely associated with adland than that of the Magic Marker, which was so distinctive and pungent that visitors could even catch it in the agency reception.
The mass invasion of creative departments by the Mac in the early 90s led to Magic Markers being banished from agencies virtually overnight. Yet although they're almost gone, they're not forgotten by a lot of senior creatives. And not just because of the "high" that the regular whiff of them could give you.
"It was just like sniffing glue," one veteran creative director reminisces. "No wonder so many of our art directors had such flaky demeanours."
Magic Markers looked the functional objects they were always intended to be - chubby, squat bottles with a wool felt wick and a writing tip. They could put a mark on almost any surface. Their only drawback is that once your shirt suffered a Magic Marker stain, no amount of dry cleaning could remove it.
Yet despite a lack of respect for its user's attire, the Magic Marker remains much lamented even in this digital age. "I doubt there's a creative over 40 who doesn't get a pang of nostalgia when they remember them," Gerry Moira, Euro RSCG's director of creativity, says.
Indeed, Magic Markers still draw a loyal, if small, number of devotees within the business. Brian Watson, the veteran creative who has written and directed hundreds of ads for the Daily Mail, says he still uses them for his storyboards.
So why do Magic Markers retain such a strong affection? Creatives who remain their fans argue that clients tend to be more flexible when they see rough layouts done with them rather than a fully made-up version produced by a Mac.
Watson even argues that no aspiring creative should be allowed to work on a Mac until they've fully mastered how to produce roughs using Magic Markers.
Moira believes that, in dispensing with the Magic Marker, the industry lost its unique brand of personally produced creativity. "There was always something special about work you did with your own hands," he says. "Now we'll never get that genie back in the lamp."
- Sidney Rosenthal, a New York inventor, began marketing Magic Markers through his company, Speedry Chemical Products, in 1952. Within six years, they were in widespread use for lettering, labelling and creating posters.
- In 1966, under pressure from intensified competition, Rosenthal changed the name of his company to Magic Marker Corporation. It filed for bankruptcy in 1980.
- In 1989, Binney & Smith, best known for its Crayola products, bought the rights to the Magic Marker name because of what it said was remaining high consumer recognition of the brand.

The Law of Reputation and the Interest of the AudienceLaura A. HeymannCollege of William & Mary - Marshall-Wythe School of Law September 23, 2011 Boston College Law Review, Vol. 52, No. 1341, 2011 William & Mary Law School Research Paper No. 09-160 Abstract: Although an individual has control over many of the statements, acts, and other biographical data points that are used to construct her reputation, she does not ultimately have control over the result of that reputational assessment, the pronouncement of which is a task re-served to others. Reputation is fundamentally a social concept; it does not exist until a community collectively forms a judgment about an individual or firm that has the potential to guide the community's future interactions. Despite reputation's relational nature, discussions of the law's interest in reputation tend to focus on one of two parties: the individual or firm holding the reputation and the defendant accused of having unlawfully harmed that reputation. This framework leads to particular conceptions of the reputational interests, such as from a property or dignity perspective, and of the countervailing, often First Amendment–related, interests of the defendant. But the community that constructs one's reputation also has an interest in the soundness of a reputation's foundation so that future uses of others' reputations will be effective. A more complete conception of reputation, therefore, should take such community interests into account.

I don't know about you guys, but with bands I like, sometimes my favourite songs from them are actually B-sides, meaning they weren't included on any of the band's albums, but rather as a bonus song on a single release. I've always found this strange because I think, well, if you're going to record a song of this quality, why make it a rarity? Why not put it on the actual LP?
But, nevertheless, I'm just happy that such a thing as B-sides exist, because so much great material can come from B-sides. So, onto the question, what are some of your favourite B-sides?

After a week of back country camping in Baxter and hiking mount katahdin, I could not wait to get here and I loved everything about this hotel! From the room to the staff there really isn't much they could improve on! I definitely will stay at a Hilton Garden Inn again and recommend it to my friends and family! Thank you again for such a lovely stay!!
Happy with pleasant staff, clean room and grab-n-go coffee in the lobby.
Location by elevator meant drifting off to sleep and waking up to ding, ding, ding. . .
love the room , big , bed comfortable would stay again for sure
the location to Bates College.
The hallways were a bit musty.
staff was friendly and helpful
hot tub was not hot at all
We absolutely loved this hotel! From the very minute we checked in, the staff was welcoming, friendly, and informative. We had two rooms, both were wonderful! Loved them with the sitting area, bedroom and kitchen. Beautiful swivel TV for use wherever you were in the room. Bathroom was very clean with huge walk-in shower! Plus a delicious continental breakfast! Just loved it and would definitely come back. Thank you!
Everything was great, and with this perfect stay I would hate to leave any negative remarks, however the only one thing we were not satisfied with was the lack of water pressure in the shower. Like I said, overall, this hotel is FABULOUS!!!
That is was close to our wedding venue
The room was dingy and the bathroom was dirty. The tub had scum around the fixtures and the entire room needed a good cleaning.
proximity to Bates College which was our destination
Needs updating, modernization, fans in bathroom. Even though clean, the age of the place made it feel worse than it really was. But great value for the price
The employees were all extremely kind & very friendly. The accomendations were very, very clean. I'd definitely stay there again & recommend it to others. The continental breakfast was huge & had a lot of options.
There was nothing I did not like.
Staff is very nice and helpful and we feel like home.
How close it was to my destination.
It was not a clean room! I found other peoples belongings throughout the room! hair all over the bathroom! And when I went to tell the manager on duty he shrugged it off and said he'll talk to the house keeping. He could of cared less. I will not be back.
Location off the highway.
Bed was dirty.. there was a spoon in the bed. There were sunflower seeds on the floor. The lock was hard to open. Checkout was at 11:00.. I received a phone call stating that I was going to extend my stay..to get me out sooner
Here's why:
We're not the seller At KAYAK we don't set prices, so it's not possible for us to guarantee what other companies are selling.
We aggregate tons of data for you Our service lets you quickly and easily compare results from hundreds of travel sites at once. In this sense, KAYAK is a search engine and we don't guarantee prices we find.
Why aren't prices accurate 100% of the time? Prices on airline seats, hotel rooms and car rentals can change frequently. Several people may also be trying to buy the same travel option simultaneously. As a result, you may find on occasion that certain prices are no longer available.
More questions or if you have a bad price to report to us Please send us an email and someone from our team will get back to you promptly.

- Import["file.sct",{elem,suba,subb,…}] imports a subelement.
- Import["file.sct",{{elem1,elem2,…}}] imports multiple elements.
- The import format can be specified with Import["file","SCT"] or Import["file",{"SCT",elem,…}].
- Export["file.sct",expr,elem] creates an SCT file by treating expr as specifying element elem.
- Export["file.sct",{expr1,expr2,…},{{elem1,elem2,…}}] treats each as specifying the corresponding .
- Export["file.sct",expr,opt1->val1,…] exports expr with the specified option elements taken to have the specified values.

WASHINGTON — Missouri airports are going to benefit from the federal economic stimulus package.
U.S. Sen. Claire McCaskill announced Tuesday that the state has received a $7 million grant from the Federal Aviation Administration.
The Missouri Department of Transportation will distribute the money to airports across the state.
McCaskill said in a news release that she believes federal grants and loans are a "positive alternative to earmarks." In the past, she said, earmarks have been authorized during "a secretive process with little accountability."

Rake (distance between the imaginary line right down the upper pipe on your front fork and the front axle) should be small, the angle of the front fork shouldn't be too low or too high, and it's easier with large wheels, and smooth, wide tires (as opposed to knobby mountain bike tires). Also, since you obviously can't use your brakes (even if you have foot brakes, those come on rather abruptly, and would make it hard to maintain control without using your hands) you should not do it on uneven terrain or anyplace where there is anything or anyone for you to hit.
Basically, it's only for smooth roads with light traffic and no intersections, and if you've got the wrong kind of bike, you probably shouldn't do it even then. - Sid♥ 2013/01/29 06:31:15
- tgoose61 2013/01/29 06:22:37NoHah, that's like saying you can dribble a basketball without handles, this kid sure doesn't have handles when it comes to basketball: http://www.youtube.com/watch?...
(although I'm sure he can ride a bike without handle bars, he just seems like that kind of guy) - Whodini 2013/01/29 06:06:37YesIt was dead-easy to do back in my teens but mid-range bikes in the last 10 or so years have too little friction around the handlebars and the front fork.
It's the fork and frame geometry, not the amount of friction, and plenty of bikes had that issue 20 years ago.
