BROOKLYN PARK, Md. (WUSA9) -- Anne Arundel County police are looking for two suspects in connection with an attempted armed robbery.
It happened in the 4000 block of Ritchie Highway in Brooklyn Park around 5:00 a.m. on Friday.
A 53-year-old victim told police that a black two door Honda Accord with two male suspects drove past him slowly, circled around the block and drove past him a second time, officials said.
Police say a suspect exited from the passenger seat, walked towards the victim and pointed a handgun at him, threatening to shoot.
The victim fled and the suspect started to chase him, but stopped when they neared a 7-Eleven, officials said.
The suspects fled in their car westward on 1st Avenue towards Belle Grove Road.

Dear Editor:
All the current discussion in Washington centers on the "fiscal cliff." It's certainly important, certainly of real concern, and certainly a potential catastrophe if not addressed by Congress.
But there is a more immediate and potential tax catastrophe facing taxpayers in 2012.
The "alternative minimum tax" patch, along with several popular prior year deductions, have expired and have not been extended for 2012. Without an AMT patch, the IRS predicts that 28 million additional taxpayers will be paying an AMT tax in 2012. That will result in an unexpected tax of several thousands of dollars on average to each of these taxpayers.
The IRS commissioner notified Congress that action needed to be taken. The IRS needs time to program its systems that process returns. The IRS is warning that if an AMT patch is not passed, it will need to reprogram systems and would need to delay tax filings and refunds for tens of millions of taxpayers until late March 2013.
We are at the end of 2012 and still don't know all the 2012 rules. We need Washington lawmakers to separate this issue from the "fiscal cliff" issues and pass the 2012 AMT patch now, along with any other 2012 extenders.

A quick note before we talk about Venus Williams and THE OUTFIT: I've recently started a new gig. And while I'm obviously excited to be starting this new adventure it means I won't be able to post as regularly as I have in the past and it might be at odd times (no, I'm not working the pole - TRUST). I wish I could've timed it a bit better, like after Wimbledon, but it is what it is. Just thought I'd let you guys know in case you started wondering why posting has a slowed down a bit. And, as always, thanks for reading.
Now back to V. She played well in her first round match, crushing Akgul Amanmuradova 6-3, 6-1. But, really, what we need to discuss is the new EleVen creation. I suppose I should just let the 5-time champ explain in her own words:
"It was a jumper. Jumpers are very now, as is lace. The shoulders have a lot of draping, which is also in the moment. It's just a trendy dress. It's fun. I'm really into zippers, so it has a focal point of a zipper in the front. And the back is a cut-out, or a peek-a-boo. It's just fun.LMAO. You gotta love V's idea of simplicity. In any case, it's SO much better than what she busted out at the Oz Open back in January. There was nothing 'now' about that outfit. More like 'never'. Please.
Right now I'm really trending towards simplicity. I'm not sure why. It's just how I feel right now. Everything is getting more simple."

Cahoacán II Project Forms the First Microwatershed Committees
19 November 2012 | News story
Four microwatershed committees formed and foundations laid for genuine interinstitutional and multi-sector coordination in microwatershed management
Chiapas, Mexico, September 2012 (IUCN) – As part of its strategy in the Water and Nature Initiative II (WANI 2), the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) promotes the adoption, adaptation and validation of the microwatershed-based model of participatory planning and comprehensive community water management, through the Cahoacán Project Phase II financed by Fundación Gonzalo Río Arronte I.A.P. and supported by Sociedad de Historia Natural del Soconusco, in Chiapas, Mexico.
This bases for this model are promotion of social organization, local capacity-building, recognition of territorial planning and management using hydrographic units, participation of local political authorities, formation of microwatershed committees, preparation of microwatershed management plans, development of youth and women's entrepreneurial capacities, productive projects for communities' socioeconomic wellbeing, establishment of funds for participatory water management, private sector participation and involvement in basic sanitation and comprehensive water resource management activities and true integration of interinstitutional and multi-sector cooperation with an overall view to sustainable development.
In this context, the objective of the Cahoacán II project is to consolidate, foster and expand local actors' participatory planning and management capacities to restore, conserve and protect strategic microwatersheds, thereby making it possible to improve provision of ecosystem goods and services, especially hydrological, and reduce the impact of climate phenomenon on the Cahoacán river basin. Strategy for the valuation and compensation of ecosystem goods and services will also be implemented.
To achieve these objectives, the first step is to form microwatershed committees and conduct strategic planning with a territorial overview so that a mechanism can then be defined to align and link the various microwatershed management plans with that of the Cahoacán river basin, where these strategic microwatersheds are located. Another important challenge is to integrate all of the municipal, state and federal institutions working in the area in a platform of cooperation, articulated efforts and intervention for integrated microwatershed management in the territories.
To strengthen local capacities of participatory planning and comprehensive microwatershed management, it was first necessary to identify local actors and their influence in the zone. For this, a series of highly participatory workshops were held applying the PIL (Power, Interest and Legitimacy) methodology to conduct thorough stakeholder mapping.
This made it possible to define strategy for promoting the participation of key stakeholders in accompaniment, support and strengthening of the microwatershed committees and their strategic territorial intervention plans. Attending these workshops were members of the ejidos of La Azteca, El Águila, Poblado Progreso, Fracción Bella Vista, Benito Juárez San Vicente, Benito Juárez El Plan, Faja de Oro, Toquián Las Nubes, Salvador Urbina, Felipe Carrillo Puerto, Silvano Gatica, Miguel Hidalgo, Toluquita and Unidad 2000. As the culmination of this process, the Upper Caguá, Upper Cahoacán, Lower Caguá and Aguinal-Aguinalito microwatershed committees were formed. The next step is participatory preparation of their strategic territorial intervention plans, for subsequent alignment with municipal management plans and the overall management plan for the Cahoacán river basin.

St. Petersburg, Florida -- St. Petersburg Police say Jessica Sowick is a "strong suspect" in the series of Causeway Isles arsons, but on Tuesday officials admitted the 26-year-old may never be charged in the cases.
Police spokesperson Mike Puetz say arson cases are often difficult to prove since evidence is frequently destroyed in the fire and most arson fires are set at night, making eye witnesses difficult to find.
But Puetz says detectives did catch a break when he says Sowick wrote on the outside walls of a neighbor's home Friday morning.
A surveillance camera captured images of a person in the backyard of the house and Sowick has now been charged with burglary of an unoccupied home in connection with the graffiti.
Puetz says Sowick wrote comments like "Fire Starter" and "You Never Got Me" with a permanent marker on the home. But he says the tagging was significant because it provided investigators with Sowick's "graffiti signature".
"Experts will tell you these types of writings often are very distinctive, much like a signature is on a check and if we can sit down ... and match up the writing that has been placed on those walls with what we found at the crime scene of these arsons, that might be the link that establishes her involvement in these crimes," Puetz tells 10 News.
Sowick has denied any involvement in the fires and remains free on a $10,000 bond.

To play Blackboard, you must be running the Microsoft Touch Pack for Windows 7, a program for Windows Touch users. For more information, see What's the Microsoft Touch Pack for Windows 7?
Blackboard is an intricate game of physics in which you solve a puzzle by creating a fanciful machine on a blackboard. You'll test your mind as you use gears, fans, seesaws, and other objects to propel the balloons and balls toward the light bulbs and victory.
The objective of Blackboard is to complete each level by getting the balloon or ball to the light bulb.
The game has different levels that you can choose from. The levels get more difficult as you move along.
On the opening screen, tap Play.
On the next screen, tap the forward or back arrow to select the level you want to play.
The first time you play, only level 1 is available. As you progress in skill, additional levels become available.
Tap Play to begin.
The game takes place in the blackboard playing area. You'll see pieces on the board in what looks like a half-finished puzzle. With your finger, drag game pieces from the bottom of the screen to the pegs that are provided.
If a game piece turns red when you move it, it won't fit on the peg you're moving it to. Game pieces turn green when you drag them to pegs where they'll fit. Use your fingers to move playing pieces in different directions. You can also use your fingers to make some game pieces bigger or smaller, depending on how strongly you want them to perform.
After you position all your game pieces, tap the play button (the green triangle in the lower left corner) and watch the balloon or ball head toward the light bulb.
Try to solve the puzzle one piece at a time, starting from the beginning and working your way to the end.
Small changes in rotations of a piece can drastically change the desired result.
There can be more than one way to solve a puzzle. Look for shortcuts.
You don't need to use every tool and peg to solve a puzzle.
You might need to resize or rotate some objects before you can place them on a peg.
Some puzzles require finesse while others require force.
Be creative, think outside the box, and have fun with the physics of this game!
Objects in the game include game pieces, fixed objects, and key objects. The following tables describe each object.
These are objects you can move onto the blackboard to complete the puzzle. Some of these pieces are already on the playing area, where you can manipulate them with other pieces.
The wall can cordon off an area and stop the balloon from hitting hazardous objects.
The fan blows the balloon in the direction you point it, and can also change the rotation of a seesaw. You can change the strength of the wind produced by the fan by changing its size.
Gear (clockwise)
This gear only turns clockwise and helps push the balloon or ball in that direction. It can also rotate a seesaw.
Gear (counterclockwise)
This gear only turns counterclockwise and helps push the balloon or ball in that direction. It can also rotate a seesaw.
Spring pusher
The spring pusher pushes the balloon or ball in the direction that it's facing. You can't change the size of a spring pusher.
Round bumper
The round bumper repels the balloon or ball in any direction, but the force it produces isn't very strong. You can change the size of a bumper.
The seesaw is similar to a wall except it can rotate at its center. The force from fans, balloons, balls, and gears makes it rotate.
You can't manipulate these objects. They're hazardous to your balloon and ball, so keep those items away from fixed objects.
Round spikes
Round spikes can pop the balloon and ball from any direction.
Straight spikes
Straight spikes can pop the balloon and ball from one direction only.
These are the key objects you must control to complete the puzzle and finish a level.
The balloon is the object you must guide through the puzzle to get to the light bulb.
The ball is similar to the balloon except it's affected by gravity all the time.
Light bulb
The light bulb is the final goal you must reach to complete a level.

Corcept has a long way to go to prove to FDA that Corlux, its mifepristone product, works. The early-stage trials were promising, but the first of its three Phase III studies produced disappointing results. Corcept is soldiering on with its two remaining trials, as well as with a separate study, funded by Eli Lilly, involving weight gain. Even if studies of Corlux fail to meet critical endpoints, the tests might still provide clues to improving the current arsenal of treatments for psychosis.
The field of drug development is rife with examples of old drugs being used for new purposes. But Corlux is the exact same drug at the exact same dose as Danco Laboratories' Mifeprex, one of the two pills used to induce a medical abortion. If it successfully completes Phase III trials, the drug could face more than the usual regulatory challenges, and Corcept's management team will need to respond to concerns about access and distribution.They say they're ready. They say that the drug's controversial past is actually an opening for company executives to spotlight what's truly unique and innovative—not just sensational—about their product.
"Most people have never heard of [PMD]," says Fred Kurland, Corcept's chief financial officer. "But most people in this country have heard of the case of Andrea Yates, the woman in Texas who, while suffering from an episode of this disease, unfortunately drowned her five children. It was not only a bad ending for her and her family, but it just displayed yet again the inadequacy that psychiatry has in dealing with this disease."
Psychiatrists often try a combination of antidepressants and antipsychotics to address the disease symptomatically. When those options fail, their next best hope is several treatments with electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), which is administered under general anesthesia and carries significant risk.
Still, while psychosis is the hallmark of the disease, patients experience only a median of three to five episodes over the course of a lifetime. And that profile makes treating PMD akin to treating an infection, Kurland notes.
"PMD is not a chronic disease like, say, schizophrenia; it's an episodic disease," he says. "Now, the episodes are very severe; they last anywhere from six to 18 months. And they are the primary cause of all suicides and homicides that occur. But, interestingly, if you get through an episode...you could be well."

Industry wants national driving standard; Call for tuition subsidies
OTTAWA -- After studying how next generation drivers are being prepared for the industry, driver trainers and trucking carriers are calling for enhanced training programs, improved licensing standards, and new policies for distributing training funds.
The recommendations follow a Canadian Trucking Human Resources Council (CTHRC) initiative, called "Closing the Gap," which involved eight provincial and territorial roundtable meetings, and culminated with a national meeting of industry stakeholders last November.
"This is where we can make lasting, positive change to an industry that has not seen it for over two decades," CTHRC Chairman Roy Craigen said, noting how the trucking industry is facing a growing shortage of skilled workers. "We are now so much further ahead in understanding what the issues are."
Participants in the process concluded that government training funds should be limited to training programs that meet National Occupational Standards, rather than simply preparing students for road tests. "While road tests help measure basic aptitude behind the wheel, they do little to identify the vocational skills that modern truckers need for successful careers," CTHRC stated in a press release.
The group also called for such funds to be offered to "under-employed" workers who want to upgrade their skills to pursue careers in the trucking industry. Most government programs that finance tuition fees are currently limited to candidates on Employment Insurance (EI).
A need for tougher licensing standards was also identified, while participants called for a share of the industry's payroll taxes to be invested directly into training efforts, similar to a funding model that has already been adopted in Quebec.
Research by the CTHRC has concluded that the industry needs to
replace as many as 3,000 drivers per month because of issues such as an aging workforce.
Yukon retailers, for example, already face gaps in their shelves because there is a need for more truckers to deliver the goods, noted Bernie Bell, operations manager of North 60 Petroleum.
Work has already begun on developing such standards for entry-level drivers, says CTHRC Executive Director Linda Gauthier.
The CTHRC has also been asked to identify the testing and licensing standards used by individual provinces, to help recommend a "pan-Canadian" model that will be presented to the Canadian Council of Motor Transport Administrators, which includes members from all Canadian governments dealing with the administration, regulation and control of motor vehicle
transportation and highway safety.
Candidates should also be pre-screened before they begin training programs, participants suggested.

RSTN Heads to Omaha
The Kansas City Royals are back in action Friday, launching a three-game set in Cleveland before heading to Boston (gulp) and Detroit (double gulp). However, if you can't wait for the team's 6:05 p.m. start to the second half of the season, then switch on RSTN Thursday, July 12 and watch the Omaha Royals battle the Iowa Cubs at 7 p.m. at Rosenblatt Stadium. The game will be carried on all participating cable and satellite partners throughout the Royals television territory. Dave Armstrong and Royals Hall of Famer and eight-time Gold Glove winner Frank White will step in as announcers.
The Triple-A match up is one of two O-Royals game broadcast by RSTN this season with the other on Aug. 2 when Omaha hosts the Las Vegas 51s, the Dodgers Triple-A Affiliate.

What are you gulping about over there? The Royals have been playing stellar against the big teams. I live up here in Red Sox territory and I'm not even sweating. Much.
The Royals have been playing well. But the second half of the season will be a big test for them to see if they will be a contender in the next couple of years. If they play .500 or better for the rest of this season, then they will give CLE and DET a run for their money come next April.
Up here in Maine, I work in a newsroom quite close to the sports department. I'm surrounded by Sox fans. I'm psyched about this series because those babies are skittish about playing the Royals. Late last season, I cleaned up in a number of bets when KC took a series from Boston. I have the news page hanging on my desk. It doesn't come down until the Sox sweep the Royals in return. That just ain't gonna happen.

We are running Zimbra and I recently installed Entourage on my Macbook. I know there are a number of issues and for now I am just using Zimbra calendar in a seperate firefox window.
My current issues is that I am trying to get my personal folders to download and populate in the Entourage folder list complete with all the emails in them. The only way I have been able to accomplish this is I go to the highest level and view all of the folders and then I select the grayed out personal folder I want and select open. Then it downloads and is available in my folder list.
This is painfully slow as I have a large number of folders (over 400) and not to mention we have several Mac users in our company that want to switch to Entourage.
In case it matters I connect to our Zimbra server via IMAP.

TYSONS CORNER, Va. (WUSA9) -- Fairfax County Fire and Rescue officials posted a photo on Facebook of a rescue from Monday that shows a crew member assisting an injured construction worker down to the ground in Tysons Corner.
According to officials on the department's Facebook page, a construction worker was hit by construction equipment and fell more than 20 plus feet near the Lord and Taylor store,at 1961 Chain Bridge Road.
"Using ingenuity and teamwork, firefighters used the on-site construction crane to rescue the worker that was more than 20 feet below grade, and then used a stokes basket operation to limit his movement, and prevent further injury," wrote officials on the Facebook page.
Officials say the worker was transported to Fairfax INOVA Hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

Hi All,
I have a 3.0.0_M1 running on FC4, and the attempt to upgrade to 3.1.0GA failed miserably for me just now, and I was going to upgrade from there to 4.5.2 which has the fix for the DST coming this March 11th.
One of the options I have instead of trying to upgrade is to have everyone download their emails using pop3 clients and archive them (25 mailboxes + distribution lists) and rebuild with 4.5.2. but I will have to do this within next week.
So my question is this.
The server is located in a region that does not observe DST, but I'm having problems trying to login to the WEBUI once I have the MSFT DST patch installed, login session timed out, because Zimbra doesn't know how to handle EST5EDT. I can either uninstall the MSFT patch, or change my local machine's TZ to the one the server is on, problem solved.
But can anyone tell me what will happen come March 12th? what's the worse case scenario? Wrong time in scheduled calendar events? incorrect time stamp on emails? or no email at all if they come with the EST5EDT time stamp? Do I HAVE TO fix the DST bug?
Many thanks,
- Yang

Dayton Moore answers media questions about the draft, minor leagues
The 2010 June Draft begins on Monday. General Manager Dayton Moore talked to the media today about the draft and other topics.
Moore is looking for players with great character and players who fit a team atmosphere. He puts an added emphasis on players with past championship experience, either in college or high school. Ideally, Kansas City's first pick will eventually be able to blend in with the current group of prospects at Double-A.
Moore sees several players in this draft that will make an impact in the majors. However, he doesn't see as many premium position players as in some drafts.
A media member asked whether the draft will drop off after the first three picks (the Royals pick fourth). Moore says he sees how some see it that way, but every draft will be re-evaluated after three years and the picture can be very different. He sees that as the beauty and the challenge of baseball's draft – a 10th round pick could wind up with a better career than a first-round choice. He sees all 50 or so players that a team drafts as important, sighting Jarrod Dyson. The speedy former 50th round pick is now on Kansas City's 40-man roster.
Duffy's return
Reporters asked Moore about pitching prospect Danny Duffy, who recently returned to the organization after taking some time away from baseball. Moore hasn't spoken to Duffy and for now he will leave that to Assistant GM/Scouting and Player Development J.J. Picollo and Director of Minor League Operations Scott Sharp. He didn't know if Duffy would return originally after he left baseball in March, but he knew that the good relationship between the club and Duffy would help.
Moose and Hosmer
Mike Moustakas and Eric Hosmer are both leading their respecting leagues in hitting, with Moose entering the day first in the Texas League at .371 and Hosmer's .350 pacing the Carolina League. Moore says that the Royals are staying humble as an organization as far as their progress. He said that minor league hitting coordinator Jack Maloof is pleased with their development. As to whether they will be promoted, Moore said that the organization will re-assess that in a month, but neither is a currently a candidate to be on the Major League team by the end of 2010.
Yost's start
Moore likes the intense focus and clear beliefs of his new manager. While the two knew one another from Atlanta, they didn't have the manager-general manager relationship. Moore says that this particular aspect of their relationship is still evolving.

How can I set my BC up for Twin Cylinders?
All Zeagle Heavy-Duty Ballistic BCs (Ranger,
Ranger LTD, Tech, 911, SAR) as well as backplate
systems, can be used with twin tanks. The easiest
method is to use the Twin Cylinder Mounting
Are Zeagle BC's worn differently?
Yes. Because of the uniqueness of the design, the
Zeagle System will fit quite differently from a
conventional BC. The waistband will be lower, well
below the diaphragm (so it won't restrict your
breathing), the front of the BC is open, reducing
restrictions further, and the buoyancy is low down
on the back and sides, where it can expand outward
without compressing your chest. The result is
greater comfort and a more balanced attitude in
the water.
Why do you put the weights in the BC?
Including the weights as part of the buoyancy
system improves balance and comfort in the water-
it keeps your body from being pulled in different
directions by the opposing forces of lift and
weights. All Zeagle BC's since 1982 have been
designed to be weight integrated.
How do you drop the weights in an emergency?
Zeagle's patented Ripcord system allows for a
single point instantaneous release of the weights
from almost any position in the water. When
compared to a weightbelt release or the two handed
systems used on many other weight integrated BC's
the Ripcord is far simpler and more reliable. Some
BC's offer a more economical pull out system that
requires a two sided release to drop all the
Isn't it too heavy to lift?
In most circumstances we recommend that the diver
put on their BC first, then place the weights in
the weight pockets. This avoids having to lift the
entire scuba system and weights together.
What's the Personal Fit System?
People come in more than five sizes- the Personal
Fit System is a system of interchangeable
components that allows your Zeagle dealer to
custom fit a buoyancy system to your body and your
style of diving. In addition to fitting waist
size, chest size, and torso length independently,
we can adjust the style of various components and
the amount of lift in the buoyancy system to match
the type of diving you do.
Do you make BC's for women?
Zeagle's Personal Fit System was designed with
women in mind. It's very common for women to fit a
size smaller in the shoulder section of a Zeagle
BC than they fit in the waist size- a medium waist
with small shoulders, for example. On our heavy
duty BC's we offer narrower women's shoulder
sections with smaller buckles that will fit
women's upper bodies better. Of course the
advantages of weight integration and doing away
with the weightbelt are often even greater for
women than for men. The greatest difficulty in
properly sizing a woman's Buoyancy System is not
finding a smaller size, or allowing for the bust,
but lies in the fact that women's bodies have a
defined waist where a waistband must fasten in
order to secure the BC. At the same time, women
tend to have both a shorter torso length and a
lower center of buoyancy compared to men. So
conventional buoyancy systems,which would ideally
be worn lower for best balance and comfort, must
be worn higher, around the narrowest part of the
waist, in order to be secure. Zeagle has two BC
models specifically designed with these
considerations in mind; - The Zena is an extremely
light and comfortable BC, ideally suited for
warmer water diving. It is designed and
constructed to be worn over a bathing suit or
light warm water suit. The Zena's twin waist and
hip band system provides a way for women to
securely position the weights and buoyancy below
waist level, around the body's center of buoyancy.
- The LaZer is a heavier-duty BC with the same
ideal fit for a woman's body shape. It is still
considered to be a travel BC and can be worn over
a bathing suit, but it is also made to be worn
over a wetsuit or drysuit that might be needed in
local diving conditions. It has all the features
of the very popular Stiletto BC, but with a vest
that is scooped at the rear to comfortably
accommodate a shorter torso and wider hips than a
Will it float you face down?
Zeagle BCs are designed to fit low on the body so
the lift is positioned near the body's center of
buoyancy. This results in a very neutral surface
flotation, leaving the diver free to assume any
position in the water. Many non-Zeagle rear
flotation BC's fit high on the chest, the same way
most nonintegrated jacket style BC's fit. In
addition to being less comfortable, this volume of
lift high on the back can cause the diver to be
rotated forward when attempting to stay upright on
the surface.
Can I wear a weightbelt with a Zeagle?
It isn't necessary, and it adds bulk and weight.
Which BC is best for me?
Zeagle makes buoyancy systems for everyone– from
the occasional vacation diver to the most
professional Search and Recovery divers. Your
dealer can help you select a system and
appropriate accessories based on you size,
experience, diving environment, the kind of diving
you do, and the kind of diving you want to do in
the future.
What about construction and warranty?
All Zeagle Buoyancy Systems are hand sewn from the
best available materials and heavily reinforced at
all stress points. Our style of construction is
labor intensive and expensive, but it results in a
more durable, better fitting BC. Individual
components of the system are replaceable or
repairable if damaged. This quality of
construction makes it possible for us to offer a
limited lifetime warranty to the original
purchaser. If a defect appears or the system fails
at any time while you own it, Zeagle will repair
or replace the system free of charge.
Where can I get user's guides for Zeagle Products?
Downloadable versions of product owner's manuals
are in PDF format, which is a file format that can
be viewed and printed from virtually any computer
Your BC is guaranteed against defects in materials
and workmanship. This guarantee does not cover
damages from accident, abuse, neglect,
alterations, improper usage, normal wear & tear or
failure to provide reasonable care. To validate
your warranty you must fill out and return your
warranty registration by regular mail or e-mail,
within 30 days of purchase. All warranty claims
will be handled through Zeagle, or an authorized
Zeagle Dealer.
here is the serial number on my BC?
In 2009 we began serializing the bladder assembly
of our BCs. To find the serial number look at the
left side (your right if you were wearing the BC)
in between the vest and bladder. Roughly where the
top tank band is inserted into the vest you should
see a 1.5' long white tag with the serial number
stamped onto it. If you do not see this tag you
can select 'My product does not have a serial
number' when registering your BC.

Automotive Fittings - Getting Fit: Part IIWritten by on May 30, 2007 Plumbing Tips And Tricks
Building a street rod is a rewarding experience, particularly when you get to drive the end result, but there are also some sobering realities involved in assembling an automobile from the ground up. First off, despite what you may see on TV, it takes more than a couple of weeks for the average person to do it. Secondly, you and your loved ones will be riding in it, so the importance of building a safe car above all else can't be overstated. One of the tasks involved in street rod construction that is both time-consuming and critical to functionality is plumbing. Last month we looked at the variety of fittings commonly used, so this time around we're going to give you a few tips and tricks on how to hook them together.
Brake Lines
First let's deal with a common misconception-the relationship between brake line size and hydraulic pressure. Simply put, there is no relationship. The master cylinder establishes the pressure in a brake system; all the lines do is deliver the pressurized fluid.
Brake lines are most often 3/16- or 1/4-inch-diameter and, while there will be no pressure difference between the two, there will be a difference in the amount of fluid delivered. The bigger tubing will carry more volume, so 1/4-inch line may be preferable in some instances (four-wheel disc brakes being an example).
Regardless of the size, when it comes to selecting the type of rigid brake lines to use, there are only two choices: steel or stainless steel. Copper or aluminum should never be used. And Gary Clausen of Pure Choice Motorsports points out that excessively long lengths of flex line, including the braided variety, should not be used, as a spongy pedal will result.
One of the most common mistakes made when plumbing a chassis has to do with routing; brake and fuel lines should be a minimum of 3 inches away from any significant heat sources, most notably the exhaust system. And while it's a little off the subject of plumbing, we have to mention the problems associated with positioning the exhaust pipe too close to an underfloor master cylinder. It is very common for these components to be quite close, but be aware that a master cylinder, and the fluid it contains, will readily absorb heat. We've seen instances where the proximity of the master cylinder to the exhaust was such that the fluid would get hot enough to expand and make the brakes drag, or in the worst-case scenario, not release after being applied. If you opt for an underfloor master cylinder and the exhaust pipe is anywhere in the area, consider fabricating some sort of heat shield.
Another important consideration when plumbing a chassis is securing the lines. Clausen recommends using clamps every 18 to 24 inches for adequate support. Putting bends in lines cause them to be more rigid, but too many clamps isn't the problem that too few are. But while the goal would normally be to hold a line secure, there are cases where movement is necessary. Take, for example, firewall-mounted master cylinders. There is usually some movement between the body and frame, so that needs to be taken into consideration when installing the lines. One method is a short flex line between the body and frame. Another is what's called a vibration loop. Clausen recommends putting several coils in the line to provide the needed flexibility.
Flex Lines
When measuring for flex lines it is critical that suspension travel and wheel movement are taken into consideration. The front wheels must be able to turn lock-to-lock and both axles must be able to go through full suspension compression and rebound without putting stress on the hoses. More than one rodder has checked compression travel then jacked their car up only to find out the hoses weren't long enough when the wheels dropped.
Fuel Lines
Many of the considerations concerning the placement of brake lines apply to the fuel system as well. And while steel and stainless steel are the recommended materials for hard lines, aluminum tubing is sometimes used for fuel.
Aluminum tubing is light-that's why it's often found on race cars-but it chafes easily and needs more support than steel or stainless steel. For most carbureted applications, 3/8-inch line is adequate, although high-horsepower engines may require 1/2-inch for enough volume.
When plumbing the fuel system, keep in mind that today's gasoline additives (including alcohol) will cause conventional hose to deteriorate. Plan on replacing any rubber hose in the system every two years, or bite the bullet at the outset and buy the best braided hose with an inner liner you can find.
Ready, Set, Plumb
Before you begin to plumb a street rod chassis, here are some suggestions from the experts at Pure Choice Motorsports:
Identify the type of plumbing you want to use (stainless steel or steel).
Match the fittings to the type of flare used: AN fittings use 37-degree flares, SAE use 45-degree, double-inverted flares.
Use quality tools for installation to prevent rounding off fittings.
Do not over-tighten fittings. AN fittings should be snugged finger-tight then tightened approximately a quarter-turn. While 45-degree fittings require slightly more torque to seal, over-tightening should still be avoided.
Use anti-seize on all aluminum-to-aluminum or stainless-to-stainless fittings.
Use sealer on pipe threads with the tape or sealant starting on the second thread to keep from contaminating the system.
Keep all lines as far away from heat as possible.
Take a look at the photos for a few more tips and tricks on plumbing a chassis.

Gary Clausen of Pure Choice Motorsports and Terry Abercrombie, Edelbrock's EFI answer man, measure a Model A chassis for brake lines. That'll teach them to drop by our shop with time to kill.There are loads of tools to make plumbing a chassis easier. This handy little device from Made For You Products makes it easy to determine line size.In our minds there have been two great inventions-crackers with peanut butter already on them and this flaring tool from Pure Choice Motorsports.There are two kinds of rodders in the world-those who have flared lines without putting the nut in place first and those who are going to. Just remember, this is the first step.We opted to use steel brake lines for our Model A. And while various lengths of flared tubing is available at most parts houses, we elected to buy tubing in bulk, cut it to length, and flare the ends. The first step is to cut the end of the tubing square, deburr it, and then clamp it into the tool.Steel lines require a 45-degree, double-inverted flare. That means the tubing is folded back on itself. A special die is used in the flaring tool to begin the process; this is what the first step of the operation looks like.With the first part of the flare formed, the dies are changed in the tool for the second operation. This step will establish the 45-degree seat.In addition to 45-degree flares, this tool will also form the proper ends for GM automatic transmission cooler lines. This same treatment can be used for extra security with hose and clamps.
When bending tubing, we make reference marks at the middle of one bend to the middle of the next. It takes practice, but eventually you'll get all the bends in the correct place and the proper distance apart.Clausen showed us a neat trick; here he uses a file to make the surfaces around the outlet ports of this master flat so banjo fittings can be installed.This is a close-up of the filing operation. Thanks to gravity, none of the filings ended up in the master cylinder.Using banjo fittings on the master cylinder can clean up the looks considerably and keep the lines tighter to the master cylinder.Often improperly used, Teflon tape is great for pipe threads. Note that the first two threads are exposed, and the tape is wrapped so it is "pulled" into the fitting as it is tightened.When using a flex line in a fuel system, make sure it is compatible with today's fuel. Unless you want to replace rubber lines every two years, the best option is plastic-lined braided hose. Note how this line has some slack in it to prevent putting the ends in tension.
Made for You offers the All Plumb Kit with everything necessary to secure brake and fuel lines, as well as electrical wires and air-conditioning hoses.Frequently it's necessary to install a T in a hydraulic brake system. To make sure our lines were adequately anchored, we used these OEM-style fittings that include a bracket.To mount the T to the chassis, the tube frame was drilled and tapped. The T was then secured with a socket head screw.This is a bulkhead fitting; in this case it's used to pass through the firewall. A solid steel line comes from the master cylinder and connects to the inverted flare seat on the front side.On the backside of the bulkhead fitting, a flexible AN line will lead to the hydraulic slave cylinder that operates the clutch. The arrangement provides the flexibility needed between the engine/trans and the body/chassis.While it's not exactly a plumbing issue, here's a tip that will keep an electric fuel pump from being unnecessarily noisy: Make sure only the rubber-lined mounting bracket is in contact with the frame; we had to use a couple of flat washers to keep the body of the pump from touching.There is some debate as to which side of the fuel pump to put the filter. We have a simple solution to that problem. We use a big Fram fuel filter between the tank and the pump. This style filter also acts as a water separator. Note the shut-off valve; it makes it much easier to change filters.In a maximum effort to keep crud out of our Stromberg 97s, we installed a second fuel filter between the fuel pump and carburetors.
Pure Choice supplied the adapter to allow the use of steel 3/16 inverted flare hard lines with -3 (3/16-inch) AN brake hoses. Note the groove in each for a brake line clip. The brass fittings are called trailer Ts (or branch Ts). They have two female 3/16-inch inverted flare ports and one male 3/16-inch inverted flare connection. The male port supplies the left front brake, one female port connects to the master cylinder, and the other to a line leading to the right front brake.The brake line tabs used to hold the ends of the flex lines are often welded to the frame in the wrong place. After deciding where they should be, we attached ours with 10-32 button-head screws.To attach the -3 AN brake line to the F-100 wheel cylinders, we used more adapters from Pure Choice. In this case, a crush washer between the adapter and the wheel cylinder provides sealing.

|Homestead Farms: healthy living at its finest
|Written by Chris Lee
Natural, old-fashioned, respectful, great care, love and herd health. All words used on a farm where the animals are number one. Travis and Tawnina Uptain are the owners/operators of Homestead Farms, located about six miles south and six miles west of Holyoke.
Coming from the Durango area, Tawnina and Travis knew something better was in store for their family.
"We were living such a fast-paced life and weren't happy with it," Tawnina said. "It just happened for us."
Six years ago, the couple went driving around the state looking for land because they knew they wanted to do something related to agriculture. They ended up at their current home just over a year ago and decided to begin Homestead Farms. Their three sons, Morrgan, 6, Wyatt, 5 and Warren, 2, enjoy running around the farm helping with the animals and chores.
Tawnina said they began raising the animals before moving to the Holyoke area. Beginning with chickens they then added goats and hogs. About two months ago the Homestead Farms name was born.
The nine-acre farm is home to hybrid hogs, Jersey and Milking shorthorns, as well as different varieties of chickens including Silver Laced Wyandottes, Dark Cornish, Partridge Rocks and White Rocks. The Uptains also had a herd of Toggenburg goats which were sold recently.
They make different types of cheese, soaps, creams, butter, hard cheeses and cottage cheese. An Italian soft cheese, Mascarpone, used in tiramisu, is just one variety of cheese Tawnina makes.
Tawnina said she also processes fiber and spins wool.
The chickens are truly free range chickens. They are in the yard almost always. The family's lab "Goose" keeps a close eye out for predators and they have only lost one chicken according to Travis.
The hogs drink excess milk and eat all natural feed. Tawnina said they are very lean and have an old fashioned taste.
The American Shorthorns are an endangered species and the Uptains would like to do all they can to keep the breed around.
As of now, there are three cows milked each day. Each cow produces around six gallons a day.
All of the things Tawnina produces are healthy, she said. All of the hard work for the business isn't just for providing milk and other foods to people, it is a benefit to their family as well. She also said the raw milk is very healthy and even helped her family get rid of health problems.
The business works on cow milk shares. One share in the herd is $5 and will entitle the shareholder to one gallon of milk per week. Shareholders may buy as many shares as they want and the shares may be sold back at any time. A monthly boarding fee of $28 per share provides for the maintenance of the herd and the handling of the milk.
In order to get their business up and running, they needed to register with the health department of Colorado. Tawnina said this is the most important part. The Uptains belong to the Raw Milk Association of Colorado, something that wasn't required but encouraged. Testing the milk is something Travis and Tawnina believe in.
"We do everything we can to ensure that the milk is clean and that it actually exceeds the standards," Tawnina said.
The philosophy of the farm is unique. Animals that are original or haven't been bred to be fast growing or muscular is key for Travis and Tawnina. Old fashioned is another key belief.
The Uptains work together to make the process run smoothly. Travis milks and feeds the animals while Tawnina handles a lot of the veterinary work and cooking.
They wouldn't be able to run Homestead Farms without the help of friends in and around the area they said. Dr. Darrell Tomky, Gary and Carolyn Sperber, Randy Hale, Marc Wailes and Rick and Kathy Haynes are just a few people they say have helped them greatly.
"People helping us out of the kindness of their heart is what really helps," Tawnina said. "We wouldn't be able to do it."
Taking a look at Travis and Tawnina's backgrounds one would've never guessed they would be raising goats, chickens, hogs and cattle.
Travis' mom is in politics while his father's talents are spread all over the map. Tawnina said she grew up back stage of the Grand Ole Opry. Her family was involved with music and she was always moving around.
"We weren't raised in this," she said. "We chose it. This is what was meant to be."
Travis and Tawnina would like to hold a cheese making workshop later this month provided enough people are interested. They would like to get the word out and educate people about raw milk and the benefits it has.
This is a way of life for the family. Tawnina said she wishes they would've started a long time ago.
"We're always going to be doing this," Tawnina said. She said even if people don't want their products, they will continue on because they believe in it so much. She would like to see the business expand but never change. There is nothing they would alter from what they do now.
The Uptains are willing to give tours to people around their farm and even let children milk the cows.

No hard feelings guys, I appreciate all the thoughts as I'm an open minded individual, I'm not a know it all & I will never know it all! (grin) Like anything else facts are good to have & sometimes opinions are coupled with them. I was not trying to B/S anyone but merely sharing my opinion or point of view. If this differs with others views I'd love to hear yours in a respectful manner! This subject posted by Trophyhill is one that has inspired some serious research on my part! I spent many hours scouring studies done as close to this subject as possible! That being, do the "Cows go to the Bulls or do the Bulls head over to the cows in pre-rut times" I'm not questioning whether the cows select bulls or the bulls select cows once in each others hearing distance or presence! This seems to be where the discrepancy is! We all want to be as accurate as possible so as not to mislead any.
I've not done any serious research on this subject alone as I really hadn't applied much attention to it over the years. But, in all the info along with personal findings in 30 years of elk hunting/research & all I could dig up on the matter, there is no cut & dry as to what gender does what. If anyone has a study done that sways this one way or another it would be great if you could share it here? In all info I found it appears it's a two way street, meaning both genders take a physical action as hormones & testosterone levels rise leading to pre-rut times & into peak rut times. In other words all action is not done by one gender & one gender only. All my findings that I was thinking in my mind when I wrote that the Bulls come towards the cows at this time seems to be in line for the most part, there are always extenuating circumstances! But the norm or trend is the bulls make their way towards the cows or areas they feel the cows should be. They may not physically stand right amongst them but could announce their presence from a distance that cows can hear them as they bugle to represent who they are, the more mature sounding bulls are the ones the cows desire & yes can choose to be with them. No problem there! (grin) So no question that Cows do select the bull they want to be with, no doubt these are the stronger dominant bulls where cows can feel secure & taken care of, these bulls represent strength & protection from the various satellites that can pester them to no end as they near estrus.
However, there are situations where younger less dominant bulls are residing in a herd bull status only to be over thrown by a bigger more mature bull & take over the harem of cows as they near estrus! In cases as this who's selecting who? Obviously the new bull is now the one of strength & dominance & he will do his best to maintain the herd through course bugling & instilling a confidence of protection within the cows, of course any cow can leave at anytime but it's more rare than common place! Too, you have satellites that can hook out or steal a cow or two in the blink of an eye from a present herd, once again who's choosing who? As I mentioned it's not just cut & dry in the elkwoods during the rut phases!
You also have satellites/subordinates that will cover miles in search of herds with hot cows, these stragglers can go from group to group until satisfied, as we all have seen this happen over the years it becomes prevalent that these bulls are the ones doing the searching for cows! There are other times where you have dominant type bulls with no cows & they are forever on the prowl looking for cows in or nearing estrus within already established herds. This doesn't mean that cows cannot do the same but it does show there is no certainty that it's one group only that does the searching! Just so it's clear, this is what I was referring too, I meant no disrespect to anyone!
Dang!!!! And me without my popcorn!!! My buddies and I have been watching this on AT too!
After the initial posts by Elknut and Roe this has gotten a bit stupid! But I guess if you spend time surfing the chat forums you can see some of where HuntnKid comes from. On a lot of hunting forums it is like the Elknut knitting circle. No offense, but it is the same people all of the time. It is. Look at this thread. AT too. My guys and I always joke about what topic the circle is going to come up with next. But HuntnKid, relax man! It is just a forum.
FWIW Elknut I thought your response to Roe's post was a bit condescending too. The question was asked, you answered, he answered, leave it.
Good thread?
Sounds like somebody needs to relax.
Country Boy
I didn't see it so much as an argument about the information, or an issue of "right and wrong," but more about being topical. It does not require "elk credentials" to see this, just basic reading comprehension and analysis. Roe was on topic. ElkNut strayed from it and then took a condescending tone. He may not have meant disrespect, but it definitely came across as such.
Guys, let's be reasonable here! I don't know you guys & you don't know me so it's very unfair to say I was taking on any sort of abusive tones, this is the internet & it's easy to get an impression as the reader himself implies how he wants to read it with emphasis on certain parts. I am one who does not beat around the bush to pacify ones, I will be up-front & tell it like it is. Everyone has a reputation, this is built up over a period of time, ones come to understand without a doubt what type of individual you are & your character. I've now been on various hunting sites for the last 10 years & many know me. What is my reputation? Am I a trouble maker & one who looks for confrontations? I can easily answer that & tell you no, I learned way back when that confrontations will get you nowhere & should be avoided! If in fact this is my reputation then why would I start now all of sudden & be intentionally abusive when I've not done this in 10 years! My tract record shows that's not me, so please give me the benefit of the doubt if you know me, if you don't know me then please don't make unfounded accusations.
The reasons many are attracted to what I write is because I have shared many thoughts, methods & techniques on elk hunting freely over the years, many have benefited from this info & show their appreciation & I truly appreciate that & it motivates me to continue doing so! I love helping others when I can & I too learn from others thoughts as well. Over the years we've had over a thousand hunters share their elk hunting success with us that they attribute to info they took to heart shared by our research & instruction. These hunters in turn share their success with their friends & families as they are excited about actual info that has improved their elk hunting skills. This type of info & excitement is contagious therefore equates into countless individuals who enjoy reading any additional info we may share. We are not perfect & we too make the needed adjustments in thought & share any clarification so we are all as accurate as possible in our sound selection or methods of use on our various elk hunts! This is why you see on the various Sites that there is a sort of following or recommendation. I thought I would clarify this for those who didn't know why others were interested in our findings & thoughts!
this is what i found in relation to the OP according to Geist and Clutton-Brock. i've herd of Geist but not Clutton-Brock.
an elk breeding system is based on male advertisement (vocalizations, antler size and body size), and (female choice) choosing the bull with the afformentioned qualities if available thereby choosing the bull that presumabley has the best gene pool. "The bull must be able to seek out females and maximize his advertising"

Truck to Spring Training
The truck to Spring Training arrived at our temporary front offices by 8 a.m., and by 10 a.m., it was loaded up and headed off to the stadium to pick up the remainder of boxes, bags, baseballs, bats, etc. Then, it is off to Surprise, Ariz….
Just a reminder…
We've already mentioned a few times that Manager Hillman (Did you catch his radio interview on 810 Sports this morning?), the coaching staff and several players have been in Surprise for more than a week participating in early camp. Next week, all the pitchers and catchers will report, while the remainder of the squad starts full workouts on Tuesday, Feb. 19.

In 2006, a challenge to the NSA warrantless surveillance program was filed by an Islamic charity in southern Oregon, the Al Haramain Islamic Foundation. A ruling by U.S. District Judge Vaughn Walker holding the government liable, and awarding over $2.5 million in damages and attorney fees, was ultimately overturned by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, finding that the government was immune from suit under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA). Procedural defenses – state secrets privilege, sovereign immunity, qualified immunity, lack of standing – have repeatedly been used to insulate the government from suits challenging some of the government's most egregious programs from warrantless surveillance to rendition to the use of drones to detentions at Guantanamo Bay. What viable strategies can be used to allow challenges to such programs to proceed?

May 28, 2016
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) -- Minnesota officials are canceling the state's moose hunting season because of a sharp decline in the moose population.
Department of Natural Resources officials say their annual aerial survey to estimate the moose population was "extremely disappointing," at about 2,760 animals.
Minnesota's moose population was estimated at a little more than 4,200 in last winter's survey. That number was already down by half from 2006.
Researchers are studying why one of Minnesota's signature animals is dwindling. Scientists think warmer weather, parasites and disease are contributing factors.

Undercover Boss: Awesome or Annoying?
October 09, 2010 03:30 PM by Sarah_Monson
CBS's hit show Undercover Boss was the most well received reality show of last year. Its ratings were through the roof and everyone seemed to tune in to see how all those clueless CEO's would do walking in the shoes of their far less paid employees. But are people watching the show because it's so awesome or just totally annoying?
Now in its second season, Undercover Boss has definitely hit its stride. But, is it a good one? Meant to be a heart warming, lesson learning show where hard working employees are singled out by CEO's only to have their once lost dreams come true – is Undercover Boss trying too hard?
Personally, this season seems a little too contrived for my liking. It's just way too convenient that Kim Schaefer, the first female CEO to be featured on the show, just happened to be working alongside a single mom with a sob story and a lady who wasn't sure how she was going to pay for her kids college.
And Steve Joyce, the Choice Hotel CEO who spoke about how his mother opened her doors to women in need, ended up working with a girl who was kicked out by her own mom for getting pregnant.
I think CBS is just a little to cloying with these forced scenarios. I long for an episode like one last season where a CEO went undercover in his call center and the employee there was horrible! She talked back to the customer and talked smack with her covert CEO. It was genius!
Come on, you need at least one sinister storyline to make the rest of the show less sticky sweet.
I'm not the only one who feels this way. There's quite a dividing line online as well. Some people love the show and its message of hope, change and humility. Others think it's the most manipulative show on TV (have they seen The Bachelor?)
Whatever side one takes, people are still watching. This Sunday, DIRECTV CEO Mike White will become the latest corporate executive to morph into a scruffy beard and a baseball cap wearing low level employee. He'll be posing as an entry-level employee at the company, where he'll go on service calls, work in one of the company's call centers, and spend some time in its warehouse – no doubt alongside people with heartbreaking stories, that he will make all better.

How to Flat-Paint a Project Car - How To "Flat-Paint" A Badass Car - Project E-Rod Z28Written by on March 1, 2011 Hot Rod Uncovers The Secrets To Great Paint: Skill And Hard Work.
In the Jan. '10 issue we introduced our new project car, a '79 Camaro Z28, and last month we installed its centerpiece, the GM Performance Parts smog-legal E-Rod engine package. When it came time to paint the car, we hit the jackpot. EDAG Inc. of Auburn Hills, Michigan, agreed to do the job. One of the leading automotive engineering firms in the world with a home office in Germany, EDAG provides every type of technical support to the global OEs, including concept car construction and paint. Many factory show cars you see at the SEMA show and elsewhere were painted by EDAG.
The team at EDAG responsible for the E-Rod's paint-Chuck Cox, Bill Wilson, Jeff Hanley, Matt Ayers, and Cory Niemitalo, to thank them individually-have been at it long enough to develop their own shop lingo. These guys have had their eyeballs and well-sanded fingers on some of the top cars on the planet, and collectively they have but one word to describe any machine that meets their high standards: badass. Now, the car might be a million-dollar exotic or a backyard bomber, but either it's badass or it's not, and they know it when they see it.
Likewise, the EDAG guys have a single word to describe quality paint: flat. Flat is their highest compliment. By flat, pro painters don't mean suede or primer, they mean a finish that is exceptionally smooth and level, free of the usual surface imperfections. These include short peel, the classic orange-skin effect we know so well, and long peel, broader undulations they liken to cellulite. Peel and other defects on the paint's surface diffuse and scatter light in odd directions, dulling the gloss and obscuring the car's features. Flat paint reflects the light straight and true, flattering the car's natural highlights and making its lines and contours appear crisper to the eye. Flat paint can make a car look almost like it was milled from a steel billet.
The EDAG crew's standards for flat paint are far beyond the best factory finish. Civilians may not see all the peel in a brand-new car, but these pros can spot it in a rainstorm at midnight. "You should be able to hold up a newspaper and read the fine print in the reflection," Hanley says. "That's flat paint. Peel makes the type fuzzy." What's the trick to flat paint? Unfortunately, there isn't one. It takes skill, experience, and hard work. However, impressively flat paint can be achieved by the dedicated amateur, he says. "What it takes is patience. How much time do you have?"
Here's a truism that's been beaten into a fine gray dust in every paint 'n' body feature ever published: No paint is better than the bodywork beneath it. Well, it's still true. However, this time we're going to skip over the basic bodywork. Hideous as it looked, our Camaro's sheetmetal was actually dry and straight, requiring very little mud-slinging except to flatten the usual die marks and elbow dents. We'll be picking up the story with the sprayed products, with the initial focus on the high-build polyester surfacer, which the EDAG crew block-sanded and loved on until the E-Rod was far straighter than any '79 F-body ever was when it left the plant.
Like any craftsmen who really know what they're doing, the EDAG pros were a pleasure to watch. Each man may have his own pet tools and techniques, but when one stepped away from the car and another stepped in, the work proceeded seamlessly. They were like interchangeable parts in a machine. The lesson for us here: The methods may vary a bit but the objective does not. Each guy works to the same high standard for a quality surface. In the photos and captions, we've tried to include the techniques they use to identify that surface.
After the poly surfacer and block-sanding came another round of primer and sanding, then sealer, basecoat, and clearcoat. Now, where the typical collision shop will squirt a coat or two of clear followed by a quick cut and buff, then call it a day with a respectable finish, at this point the EDAG crew was just getting started. They shot five full coats of clear, providing sufficient material depth for multiple wet- and dry-sanding stages using 600- through 3,000-grit abrasives. On top of that came three more buffing phases. The process is exhausting and time consuming, but if you want truly flat paint, that's what it takes.
Because the E-Rod Z28 was designed to be a daily driver, it didn't get the full EDAG treatment with 3mm panel gaps and their other amazing show-car tricks. But the car did receive a top quality paintjob, because that's the only kind they know how to do. The E-Rod's paint draws praise everywhere the car goes, both for the knockout color and for the execution. Now there is some flat paint. If we may say so ourselves, we'd say it looks badass.

The Camaro required little basic bodywork, so we'll skip over all that to the first primer stage. Two coats of Sherwin-Williams E2A933 gray epoxy primer, designed for direct-to-metal application, went on first to provide a secure foundation for the materials to follow. Then came four coats of Ultra-Fill II 21 polyester primer, also gray.Ultra-Fill II 21 is a high-build primer/surfacer-spray-on body filler, essentially. This surface gauge shows (via the magic of Hall Effect) that 18.2 mils of surfacer were applied-a bit thicker than a paperback cover. (One mil equals 0.001 inch.) However, most of this material will end up on the floor during block-sanding; the filler remains in the low spots.This is a material data sheet. Learn it, know it, live it. It's provided with virtually any product you can spray or smear on an auto body, and it can also be downloaded from the supplier's website. All the info you need is here: tip sizes, gun pressures, drying times and temperatures, and compatible hardeners, reducers, and flex agents. Beware of tricks, shortcuts, and old painters' tales; depart from the data sheet at your peril. If you have questions, consult your paint rep.Bill Wilson, EDAG paint team leader, shoots one of the numerous guidecoats that were applied during sanding. This is dark-red primer, but the guidecoat can be most anything-except enamel or rattle-can paints, which clog sandpaper like crazy. In sanding, these dusting coats of contrasting paint guide the bodyman's eye by identifying the high and low spots.The Camaro's original front fascia was actually fairly straight as these pieces go. It and the other plastic body components, including the faux-aero disco doodads, were spotted with polyester glazing putty and sanded with 150- and 240-grit paper before priming and paint. Tip: Keep the fascia fastened to its inner reinforcement while finishing.Hanley uses a compass to step off a uniform width for the wheel opening reveals. Masking tape is then applied along the pencil line to serve as a sanding guide. Keeping the body features crisp and accurate is one of the keys to a quality finish.Though the Z28's doors were removed for paintwork, they were frequently reinstalled (four times, in fact) to check the lines. Here, Cory Niemitalo gunsights the door peak with masking tape laid down as a sanding guide. Done right, the technique produces straight and razor-sharp body lines-they'll actually have to be rounded off slightly before the paint is applied.Store-bought tools are great, but really, a sanding stick can be anything of the appropriate size and shape. For mowing a mammoth '65 Impala door, for instance, nothing beats a nice, straight, 3-foot board. For concave areas, a length of rollbar padding with PCV pipe inside works slick.With sanding sticks and 120-grit paper, the crew carefully leveled the poly-filled surface, using countless guidecoats and tape lines to keep everything straight. Areas were frequently wiped down and checked with wax and grease remover; the temporary shine makes sighting more accurate. Despite all their experience, the EDAG painters use these methods constantly to check their surfaces. The pros take advantage of every aid in the book. That's why they're pros.
With the block-sanding on the poly filler completed, the car was thoroughly washed, dried, and masked ("bagged" in the vernacular) in preparation for another primer stage-four coats of Sherwin-Williams P30 Spectra-Prime primer/sealer. At each step where material is sprayed, first the car is carefully cleaned with wax and grease remover and wiped down with a tack cloth. Cleanliness is everything.Once dry, the P30 primer is dry-sanded with 240-grit paper, then wet-sanded with 400, with more guidecoats sprayed on at regular intervals to locate the ever-smaller high and low spots. When the guidecoat has been completely erased by sanding, it's time to inspect the surface one more time by wetting it with wax and grease remover and checking the highlights. If there are any mistakes, the time to catch them is now: The next steps are sealer and basecoat.Immediately before the color was sprayed, four coats of Sherwin-Williams Ultra-Fill II S56 acrylic urethane sealer were applied. The sealer serves multiple purposes: As the name implies, it seals the surface for painting, fills in the 400-grit sanding marks in the previous primer coat, and adds opacity so fewer color coats are required. Sealer is cheaper than paint.Unless it's an all-out show car, poly surfacer is not used on the doorjambs and inner panels. They're simply scuffed down with 120-grit for the coming primer coats. Masking serves two purposes: It prevents spray from going where it isn't desired, and it keeps dirt sealed inside the car. Tip: When masking, keep the paper reasonably taut-folds and pockets will capture dirt and overspray. When the spray gun passes by, the bad stuff will be blown into the air, where it can then settle onto the wet paint.Naturally, the pros at EDAG use premium, HVLP-compliant (high volume, low pressure), gravity-feed paint guns like the Sharpe T1, shown here minus its paint cup. We could tell you what tips and pressures to use but we'd be blowing smoke; they're specific to the product and manufacturer. Consult the material data sheet in every case. The takeaway from this photo: Always use a filter/dryer on the pressure line as shown here, especially with home air compressors.Once the sealer sets up (check the data sheet for drying times) it's time to start shooting basecoat, starting with the roof and other horizontal surfaces, next cutting in the doorjambs and corners, then finishing with the vertical surfaces. Five full coats of base color will be applied, plus a sixth drop coat-a lighter dust coat that makes the metallic and pearlescent elements in the paint stand up. The number of basecoats required is determined largely by color, with translucent shades (white, yellows, oranges) not covering as well as the darker hues.The bumper covers, doors, and miscellaneous parts were painted separately but simultaneously. Tips: If your paint is provided in multiple containers, pour them into each other to mix them up and distribute the pigments, preventing color drift from can to can. Also, whenever you're pouring paint, you should be pouring it through a paper strainer. These tips are especially useful with trick materials like pearl and metalflake. The guys at EDAG will often double up on the strainers with these paints to reduce clumping.Here's one good reason for spraying the doors, hood, and small parts separately: easier access for better coverage. Now, a word about gun technique: oversold, according to the EDAG crew. "A monkey can shoot paint," Ayers says. "That's the easy part." The guys all have their own styles, varying their subject distance and hand speed as required. Beginners can develop their skills with practice on a flat panel, then graduate to an old fender to master more complex shapes."All paint has peel in it,' Hanley says. "The objective is getting it out." Clear-sanding on the Z28 started with 600-grit wet paper, then proceeded through 800-, 1,000-, 1,500-, and 3,000-grit steps. The early steps progressively flatten the peel, while each successive step erases the sanding marks from the previous ones.
After the second basecoat, the finish was nubbed-lightly worked with 600- to 1,000-grit paper to remove minor flaws and foreign material. Defects must be caught here, as the final basecoat cannot be touched before the clear is applied because any sanding marks will show straight through. After nubbing, the surface must be thoroughly cleaned again with tack rags before the next basecoat is sprayed. The EDAG crew doesn't use wax and grease remover at this step as it could penetrate the fresh basecoat.After the basecoats of Planet Color's Big Bad Orange were laid down, five coats of Sherwin-Williams CC939 Ultra 7000 Performance Plus urethane clearcoat, mixed exactly to the instructions, were applied. That's far more clear than what one would find on the typical bump-shop job, but it's required here due to the especially extensive amount of sanding that will be performed to achieve a flat, peel-free, spectacular finish.Sticks used for wet-sanding are small, around 1 by 6 inches, to prevent bottoming out or overcentering on the surface, which produces chop marks. The EDAG guys make their own sticks from ABS plastic with a strip of Velcro (loop side) glued on for padding. For inside radii they use round sticks. Each clear-sanding stage is done at 90 degrees from the previous one so they can gauge their progress in removing sanding marks.When clear-sanding, you need to stay off the outside corners. The material is naturally thinner in these areas and you don't want to blow through it.In the final clear-sanding stage, 3M Trizact P3000 pads (very fine, nearly smooth to the touch) were used wet with a DA. By this point, the dullness produced by sanding is virtually gone, leaving only a slightly milky appearance, and the pearl and 'flake components in the Big Bad Orange are really starting to pop.After the 1,000-grit wet-sanding, Ayers attacks the surface with 3M P1500 paper and a DA, dry. Since this method is fairly aggressive and requires some touch, he says beginners should probably skip this stage (and the 600 and 800 steps as well) and start with wet 1,000, working by hand. It's slower but safer.Now it's time for buffing, which is performed in three steps: wool pad with 3M Perfect-It 3000 Extra Cut rubbing compound; the same compound with a black foam pad; and finally, a white foam pad with 3M Perfect-It 06064 machine polish. Tips: Always hold the buffer so the wheel is turning away from the work, never into it, and never bear down, simply guide the wheel. Also, keep the speed down to 900 to 1,200 rpm. Discipline here is rewarded with a perfect shine.All that's left now for our flat-painted Camaro is body assembly. While it can be difficult in all the excitement, patience is also required here to protect the fresh paint and obtain the best fits. Classic Industries provided the roof rail seals, weatherstrips, and the jillion miscellaneous trim parts required.
Here's one way to illustrate the difference between ordinary and flat paint: In the first photo, the reflected light from the overhead fluorescent light tubes is jagged and diffused......With flat paint, the reflections are sharp and lifelike-you can even make out the yellow label on the lamp reflector. In direct sunlight, this paint will blaze.Flat paint not only makes the straight areas look better, but also the contours and creases. Note how the reflections from the fluorescent tubes accurately track the contours in the Camaro's C-pillar area, creating perfect highlights. Also note the laser-straight highlight running the length of the quarter-panel.
