Mary Beth Marklein, USA TODAY
As colleges respond to federal pressure to eliminate sexual assault on campus, they face a new challenge: what to do after a victim speaks out.
This week, a University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill student said she was warned by the school's student-run Honor Court that she could be expelled for talking publicly about her allegations of being attacked by an ex-boyfriend. Some members of the Honor Court have received threats to their personal safety, Chancellor Holden Thorp said in a statement released Tuesday.
Sophomore Landen Gambill told local news outlets this week that the ex-boyfriend, whom she did not name, filed a complaint with the student-run Honor Court. The argument: that Gambill had created an "intimidating environment" for him when she recently spoke on campus, Gambill told WRAL.com.
No criminal charges were filed in connection with the alleged sexual assault. Gambill told The News & Observer in Raleigh that she was discouraged from going to police while pursuing a Honor Code proceeding. The ex-boyfriend was found not guilty during that proceeding.
Gambill is one of five people, including three students, one former student and one former administrator, who filed a federal complaint last month with the U.S. Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights alleging that the university is failing to support victims of sexual assault. Spokesman Jim Bradshaw says the allegations are being evaluated.
Colleges have drawn increasing scrutiny about their handling of sexual assault allegations since April 2011, when the Department of Education issued a set of guidelines for how they should respond. Its Office for Civil Rights said around that time that it would investigate a complaint that said Yale University allowed a sexually hostile climate to exist on campus. Last fall, in a settlement with Xavier University in Cincinnati, the Office for Civil Rights further clarified its expectations for how colleges should respond to allegations of sexual violence.
Last month, Amherst College released a report responding to a campus debate sparked last fall when former student Angie Epifano detailed in the student newspaper her challenges on campus as she sought help. One campus counselor advised her to forgive and forget, she wrote.
Gina Smith, a lawyer who has worked with Amherst and UNC on sexual misconduct issues, credits the victims of the sex abuse scandal at Pennsylvania State University for elevating the conversation about how colleges handle troubling allegations. The recent twist in the controversy at Chapel Hill reflects the challenges victims face when they step forward. "Whenever you put yourself out there, you always take a risk," Smith says.
Among changes UNC-Chapel Hill has made in response to Education Department guidelines was to create a process for responding to sexual assault complaints. Since last August, sexual assault cases are no longer addressed through the Honor Court system. This year, the university launched a website to raise awareness of the issue on campus.
"We have a problem on our campus and we need to talk about it," Thorp wrote on the opening page. In a statement Tuesday, Thorp would not discuss specifics of any case involving the Honor Court but he said, "Here are the facts: This University works hard to encourage students to come forward and report instances of sexual violence. No student has ever been disciplined for reporting a sexual assault or any Honor Code violation. Further, no university administrator filed or encouraged the filing of charges in this case; there is no retaliation by the university."

Pickin' up where he left off...
48 & counting!
Hoping Melvin gets 52 so he can say he scored 100 against TCU in one season
I don't why but I have a bad feeling about this game. With that said, I think we win
Go Cyclones! Focus on these guys and get the W!
It is freakin' 3:40 in the morning and I cannot sleep. Part of the reason why is b/c I am looking forward to this game. It may be an ugly game to watch and we may feel restless as we watch, but I think we should get the win in Ft. Worth-less.
Not only ISU getting a road win, 9th win in the conf. and creeping its way up the standings, I look forward to other Big 12 games as well that will help us.
KU beating TX. I would assume KU will take care of business and if ISU wins, we would take sole possession of second place in the conference. We would have one more overall win than Texas at that point. It is awesome how the great non-conference season is paying dividends this season. Usually our non-conf. season hurts us. This year, it has been paying off like crazy.
KSU beating OU? Or would it be better the other way around? I would say KSU beating OU since OU is right behind us in the standings, but if KSU wins they would be right behind us. Since KSU beat KU, KSU would have a tie breaker over us if KSU and ISU would split and be tied in the conf?
Baylor beating WV, just to give us more room from WV, and trying to get Baylor into the NCAA tourney, to make the Big 12 look better. The latest has the Big 12 getting as many at 7 teams in,or few as 5.
I am also interested in the rematch of Wisc and Iowa. Seems like Iowa has not played in 5 weeks, and still gets better BPI, and rankings by not even playing. I am guessing Iowa will win the rematch between these 2 teams, unless the Iowa coach throws a chair or goes off. Iowa has a lot of games coming up. I wonder if that will affect their legs.....But Iowa is so deep it prolly will not make a difference...

Welcome to Tip Toes! Located in Holland, MI, Tip Toes is one of the cutest stores I have ever been to. Not only do they carry cloth diapers but a vast array of organic and locally made goodies as well. I recently took (another) visit to Tip Toes so I could share it with you!
When you first walk into the store, you see color everywhere. There is so much to see and do in the store (even a fun spot for kids). As soon as you step in, you see a section dedicated to newborns. There are so many adorable things. Not only do they have blue and pink but they also have a large quantity of gender neutral clothing for those like me who didn't want to know the sex of their baby before he/she was born.
Keep walking and you'll come to the next section for toddler clothing and next to that is the big kids clothes. Tip Toes had several requests to expand their clothing selection to larger sizes and that is what they did! They appreciate feedback and take action on it! Everything is incredibly cute and unique. Most of the clothing in the store, I have not seen anywhere else.
In the middle of the store is every little girls dream closet. They have hundreds of bows, clippies and headbands to choose from as well as cute hats and leggings. My 4 year old daughter spent a solid ten minutes looking at this area before I told her we had a whole store to browse though! :)
One of my family's favorite thing to do it read. So when we came to this section, I was excited to see a lot of books that we didn't already have (and we have a lot!) This picture doesn't even show a small part of what they carry.
Here is a small section of the toys that they carry. They have a lot of Melissa and Doug brand which is a favorite at our house as well.
And this is what Tip Toes is famous for among children! They have a tree house right in the middle of the store! Kids can play and climb on it and have a lot of fun.
Another weakness of mine is shoe shopping for my daughters. How can you resist when everything is so cute!
Cloth Diaper Time!!
When Tip Toes opened in 2006, they carried bumGenius exclusively. Since then, they have expanded to Bummis, flips and for a while carried TrendLab.
I got to speak with Deb, one of Tip Toes managers, and she was very knowledgeable with cloth diapering. If you haven't used cloth before, she would be a great resource while you were shopping there!
Tip Toes currently carries Bummis prefolds, Easy Fits (and tinis), wraps(covers) and wetbags. One of my favorites is the Easy Fits so I was excited to see that this was popular here too.
They also carry the Flip system. I personally have not used flips but have heard a lot of good things about them. You can also see they carry bumGenius detergent and diaper sprayer.
All the diapering goodness! In the middle is their section of bumGenius diapers. They carry mainly pockets, however, they just recently started stocking the Organic BG Elementals (an AIO diaper).
One thing I love about being able to shop in a brick and mortar store is that you can pick up and touch the diapers and see how they work. Tip Toes has one of each style that they carry for you to "try" out.
The staff at Tip Toes is very friendly, knowable about everything in the store and excited to help you in your search. They also participate in a lot of community activities as well. Overall, I enjoy my visits every time I go there! Tip Toes is a great place to get not only your cloth diapers but anything else you may need for your little one!
Tip Toes gave me the opportunity to review one of the bumGenius AIO Elementals. The verdict? I love it! The diaper is one sized and my daughter is 8 months old so we still use the smallest size setting. Because the "inserts" are attached, it may be confusing as to how to get them to fit inside when it is so small. I just fold it over top of itself (about an inch or so) and align that toward the front for optimal absorption. We used it for daytime and nighttime and had great results for both. During the day, we had no leaks what so ever. She even wore it a little longer (3 hours) than I normally leave in a cloth diaper(2 hours). For night, I could probably keep her in it til morning, however, she is sick and has been wanting a bottle in the middle of night. I change her just in case! The fit is great, even on my skinny mini and my toddler son. My son is potty training so he didn't want to actually wear a "cwuaffa diaper" so we just tried it on for size.
Disclaimer: I received a bumGenius Elemental for review at no cost. This is my honest review of this diaper. All opinions are my own and you may have a different experience. I was not paid for my opinions. Tip Toes is offering a bumGenius elementals as a giveaway.

When Bob Huggins thinks back to his club's first season in the Big 12, he's able to identify everything that went wrong. He tried to fix it during the season, but putting a finger in the dike just exposed another hole somewhere else.
In short, the Mountaineers weren't fit for the style of play in the Big 12, which varied wildly from the banging in the Big East.
They weren't a terribly good rebounding team, something that bothers Huggins perhaps more than anything else on a basketball court. If you're not crashing the boards, you're not playing hard. And if you're not playing hard, you might as well play somewhere else.
Article Photos
This was a familiar pose for Bob Huggins during the winter, as his team suffered through a long first season in the Big 12.
And last season's team did not have a go-to guy. No one on the club averaged double figures in points and it didn't really matter who took the last shot, because plenty of players tried it ... and they all missed.
It was a season that ended with a 13-19 record, a seven-game losing streak, and with the Mountaineers never beating anyone above them in the league standings.
It was the worst single-season record a Huggins-coached team had ever experience.
Since, three seniors graduated and three other players transferred out of the program. And Huggins has brought in six new players - four true freshmen and two junior college players - in hopes of fixing things in a hurry.
Clearly, Huggins thinks there's some immediate impact players in the class - Remi Dibo, Nathan Adrian, Jonathan Holton, Elijah Macon, Brandon Watkins and Devin Williams - but admits recruiting is anything but an exact science.
''You don't generally recruit junior college guys not to play,'' he said.
But it's happened. Under his watch.
''We've made some mistakes. I don't deny that,'' he said.
Because of the length of these players, Huggins thinks he's solved at least one of the major problems the Mountaineers were facing. Each of the six players he brought in is 6-foot-7 or taller.
''Hopefully we're going to make some shots,'' he said. ''I can tell you this, we're going to rebound that thing. We went from being the worst rebounding team in the Big East to the best rebounding team in the Big East to one of the worst rebounding teams in the Big 12. We're just not going to do that anymore.
''If it doesn't go in, don't worry about it. We're going to get it back. That's kinda what I've decided. I'm not sure we're going to get it up the floor. ..''
Bigger guys who can shoot, as Huggins believes many of these new guys can, might help with the style of play. In the Big 12, even the centers can knock down long-range shots, which left no room for Big East-style posting up.
''We have four guys that can bounce it, which is kinda what that league is about,'' Huggins said of the Big 12. ''We didn't have that.''
The last issue may be the toughest to solve. Last season was among the very few times in his coaching career, Huggins couldn't find a go-to guy.
''I came in and we got Joe Alexander and Joe Alexander stepped up,'' Huggins said. ''Then we lost Joe. Joe left early in the draft. So I said to 'Da' (DaSean Butler), you have to step up. We lost Da, Kevin Jones steps up. We lose Kevin Jones and you think one of those other guys will step up and they didn't do it.''
He then reeled off an impressive list of successors from his days at the University of Cincinnati, all of whom led the way at one point or another -Herb Jones, Nick Van Exel, Dontonio Wingfield, Danny Fortson, Bob Brannen, Kenyon Martin, and Steve Logan.
''We expected somebody to step up because they always have,'' Huggins said. ''It didn't happen.''
Given the unknowns among the new guys, that guy may have to come from the threesome of senior Aric Murray or sophomores Terry Henderson or Eron Harris.
Each of those three have shown a glimmer, but Huggins needs a spotlight. If he gets it, from those three or any one of the new guys, Huggins may well direct a quick turnaround.
''I think they realize there's an opportunity,'' he said.
''I'm not saying anything I haven't said or that those guys don't know and believe.
''We're looking forward to a great year.''

Does the fabric have wicking/core regulating...
Does the fabric have wicking/core regulating properties for winter riding?
Greetings - Correct, almost 99% of these have the wicking properties you need :) Should be good to go, that's an awesome top, happy riding :)
what is the material of 2xu elite compression...
what is the material of 2xu elite compression top-long sleeve- women? is it textile?
Elite Compression Women's Top-LS:
All Elite products are built using a combination of both 50 Denier and 70 Denier Circular Knit (CK) process using Lycra Invista Sport as the elastomeric yarn. The main benefit of using both 50D and 70D in this particular fabrication is that it allows for a slightly higher compressive rating at the extremities, in this case it would be in the forearm area. This is done to help promote even greater venous return from the hands/forearm back to the heart where the blood is cleansed and oxygenated.
The advantage of using Lycra Invista Sport in all 2XU compression products is that by using a branded elastomeric yarn (Dupont), 2XU is able to retain their compressive properties much longer than many other products that use non branded elastane yarns in the manufacturing process.

Dishes Made With Wine For Harvest Party Menu
Come Party With Me: Harvest Party — Menu
In wine making, the harvest is one of the most crucial times of year. It's when the vintners pick the grapes and usually occurs between August and October. Since the harvest is such an important season, many wineries celebrate with a lunch or dinner.
I think the tradition is the perfect excuse to plan a party! Just because you don't live in wine country doesn't mean you can't commemorate the harvest. Invite friends over for a meal that honors the wonderful world of wine. Every dish on the menu has wine on the ingredient list.
Start by displaying an assortment of charcuterie, olives, crackers, and goat cheese mousse with red-wine caramel. For the main course, offer chicken braised in white wine with shallots, pancetta, and fennel. Plate the chicken with a simple risotto alla Milanese — made with white wine and Parmesan cheese. These recipes are welcome at any dinner party, be it harvest-themed or a special birthday. To check them out, keep reading.
From Food & Wine
Goat Cheese Mousse With Red-Wine Caramel
2 cups dry red wine
1/2 cup ruby port
1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
1 shallot, minced
2 thyme sprigs plus 1/2 teaspoon chopped thyme
1 1/2 cups sugar
4 cups strawberries, hulled (2 pints)
2 teaspoons finely grated orange zest
2 tablespoons water
One 11-ounce log of fresh goat cheese, softened
2 tablespoons heavy cream
Pinch of freshly ground pepper
Crostini and toasted walnuts, for serving
- In a saucepan, bring the wine, port, black peppercorns, shallot, thyme sprigs and 1 cup of the sugar to a boil, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Using a moistened pastry brush, wash down any sugar crystals on the side of the pan. Cook over moderate heat, without stirring, until syrupy and reduced to 1 cup, about 35 minutes. Strain and discard the solids. Let the caramel cool slightly.
- Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, toss the strawberries, orange zest, water and the remaining 1/2 cup of sugar and let stand until juicy, about 30 minutes.
- Bring the strawberries to a boil and simmer over moderate heat until slightly thickened and jammy, about 15 minutes. Transfer the compote to a bowl and let cool.
- In a medium bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the goat cheese, cream, ground pepper and chopped thyme until creamy. Spoon the mousse into a bowl and serve with the compote, caramel, crostini and walnuts so guests can assemble their own.
Serves 4.
Make Ahead: The caramel, strawberries and mousse can be refrigerated separately for up to 3 days. Bring to room temperature before serving.

From Fine Cooking
Wine-Braised Chicken With Shallots and Pancetta
1/4 cup olive oil
4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (about 1-1/2 lb.)
4 chicken drumsticks (about 1-1/2 lb.)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
7 oz. pancetta, cut into 3/4-inch dice (1 heaping cup)
8 medium shallots, lobes separated, large lobes halved through the core
4 medium carrots, cut into 3/4-inch-thick slices, large slices cut in half
1 small bulb fennel, trimmed, cored, and cut into 3/4-inch dice
1 large clove garlic, finely chopped
4 sprigs fresh flat-leaf parsley
4 sprigs fresh thyme
1 bay leaf
2 cups dry fruity white wine, preferably Alsatian or German dry Riesling
3 cups lower-salt chicken broth
1/4 tsp. finely grated lemon zest
1 Tbs. chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
- Position a rack in the bottom third of the oven and heat the oven to 300°F.
- Heat 2 Tbs. of the oil in a 7- to 8-quart Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Season the chicken all over with 1 tsp. salt and 1/2 tsp. pepper. Arrange the chicken skin side down in the pot in a snug single layer and sear, flipping once, until golden brown all over, 10 to 13 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
- Cook the pancetta in the pot until well browned all over, 5 to 8 minutes. Transfer with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain. Pour off and discard the fat.
- Heat the remaining 2 Tbs. oil in the pot over medium-high heat. Cook the shallots, carrots, and fennel, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, about 7 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until its aroma subsides, 1 to 2 minutes.
- Tie the parsley sprigs, thyme sprigs, and bay leaf together with twine (or tie them in a small cheesecloth sachet). Add the herb bundle to the pot, along with the wine. Simmer briskly, scraping the bottom of the pot to loosen the brown bits. Add the broth and return the chicken and pancetta to the pot, arranging the chicken in a single layer. Bring to a simmer, cover and transfer to the oven.
- Braise the chicken until the meat is fork-tender and just starting to come away from the bone, 35 to 45 minutes.
- Transfer the chicken and vegetables to a serving platter with a slotted spoon and tent with foil. Discard the herb bundle.
- Bring the sauce to a boil over high heat and reduce to 2 cups, about 15 minutes. Stir in the lemon zest and season with salt and pepper. Pour the sauce over the chicken and serve sprinkled with the chopped parsley.
Serves 4.
Make Ahead: This dish may be made up to 2 days ahead. Let the sauce cool before adding the chicken and vegetables and refrigerating. Reheat gently over medium-low heat before serving.

From Martha Stewart
Risotto alla Milanese
1/2 teaspoon powdered saffron or 20 threads
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for drizzling
1/2 cup roughly chopped onion
2 cups Arborio rice
1/2 cup dry white wine
1/4 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
8 cups homemade or canned low-sodium chicken stock, heated
- Remove 1/2 cup of the heated chicken stock to a small bowl; stir in saffron, and set aside. Keep the remaining stock warm in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat.
- Combine 2 tablespoons butter and olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until translucent, but not browned, about 5 minutes.
- Add the rice, and stir to coat with the butter mixture. Stir in the wine and cook, stirring continuously, until the wine evaporates, about 1 minute.
- Stir in the saffron broth and cook, allowing the rice to absorb it, about 2 minutes. Add the remaining broth, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring after each addition and allowing the rice to absorb after each addition before adding more. Cook until the rice is tender (but not mushy), about 20 minutes.
- Stir in the Parmesan, remaining tablespoon butter, and drizzle with olive oil. Serve immediately.

Get Your Car In PHR, Here's HowWritten on April 25, 2005 You built your car with blood, sweat and tears, now it's time to show the world how good it looks.
You've spent thousands of dollars and years of your own time to build your dream machine, and now you're gonna grab your camera, snap a few shots and send them in to a big-time magazine. You know they'll love your car and want to feature it, if only they could see it. But did you know that magazines get baskets of reader's rides every month? Your car's going to have to really stand out to get noticed and most editors will only spend a second or two to look at your pix--if they look at them at all.
I want to show you how to gain the advantage, even if your photos are headed for some other magazine. When you're done reading this, you'll know most of the tricks used by the pros--including the tricks they don't want you to know about. It took me years to learn what I'm about to tell you, and that came with a heavy price that included lots of wasted film, lots of money spent on gimmicks that didn't work and lots of time spent pestering the best photographers in our business.
Grazing, or Driving?
One of the most common problems I see with photos sent in by readers is a car on grass. Cars belong on pavement, not grass. Cattle belong on grass. Pavement is the natural environment for a car unless you've taken an agricultural excursion by late braking at the hairpin turn. Gravel is another no-no. Try finding a large, open paved area to shoot your car. Even a road with minimal traffic or limited access will work, but a parking lot will do just fine. If you want to be a stickler like me, look for pavement without lines painted on it. The one exception for the pavement rule is for off-road vehicles. A 4x4 will look cool perched atop a big pile of rocks, but don't try this with a car. Try to put your car in its ideal environment (such as a drag car on the drag strip or a road racer on a road course).
Chop Job
Believe me when I tell you there are lots of people who send me half photos. I guess I'm supposed to just imagine what the other half of the car looks like, because the front or the rear has been chopped off. Sometimes this is the fault of the lab, in which case you can have the lab reprint them (provided you took them right to start with) at no extra cost. If you find yourself cutting off your car, take some more time to frame the car. This isn't a problem if you've got a digital camera with an LCD screen. You can see exactly what the final picture will look like ahead of time. If you've got an inexpensive film camera with a separate peephole that doesn't look through the lens, you'll have to account for the parallax angle to get the entire car into the picture.
The Amazing Three-Wheeled Car!
You may have noticed a lot of editors and photographers like the low-angle shot. Cars always look bolder and more aggressive when shot from ground level (especially from a distance), but there is one big thing to watch out for if you do this: don't turn your car into a three-wheeler. I had been shooting three-wheeled cars for many years until I talked to famed car photographer Scott Killeen. When Scott pointed my mistake out to me it was a revelation. You can shoot at an angle to the car; just avoid blocking the fourth wheel (the one in back) with one of the front wheels. With four wheels, your car will look more aggressive and meaner, like a big cat ready to pounce on its prey. This is a tip that many pros don't even know about--just pick up any car magazine and look. Having read this, you'll be spoiled forever and will never look at car photos the same! And one last tip: low-angle shots only look good if your car has the right stance. If the car sits high, or even worse, the front sits higher than the rear, you've got problems, both photographically and aesthetically--unless you own a 4x4.
Growing Appendages
Stuff growing out of your car is not good, but it happens all the time. Park your car in some random place and take a random photo of it and you'll probably have random crap growing out of it. Your car wasn't built randomly, so why take a random picture of it? Light poles, fence posts, trees, mailboxes--I've seen it all sprouting from cars mailed in. This is easy to remedy by just taking a moment to look at your picture before you snap it. Sometimes all you need to do is get a little lower or move over a foot or two to get the offending appendage off your car. Other times, you may need to move the car a few feet or even find a new location if the background is too busy. Unless you live at the country club, you'll want to find something less "fussy" than a residential street. The best places are empty industrial parks (pick a weekend or holiday), small airports, the back of a Wal-Mart or Home Depot (they owe it to us considering all the money we give them!), a quarry, a large country park (avoid city parks with lots of light poles and fences) or any other wide, open area.
On a related topic, avoid tangencies at all cost. A tangency is a line or curve in the background (often a wall, fence, roof or horizon) that intersects, grazes or bisects the edge of the subject--in this case the car. A tangency will kill the outline of a car, make it look misshapen, or change its perceived proportions.
Location, Location, Location
The old real estate motto applies to shooting car photos too. The ideal location is on level, high ground with open space facing west. You don't want buildings, trees, fences, signs, poles, utility wires or other obstructions blocking your light or creating unwanted reflections in your perfect paint. You want an open expanse to the west because you'll generally be shooting at sunset and with the sun not to your back. That's right, I said it, "don't put the sun to your back," but we'll talk more on lighting later. The main thing to remember with location is to take advantage of what's available in your geographic area. If you live by the coast, a shore setting might work (try sunrise on the east coast and sunset on the west coast). If you live out west, there are lots of beautiful open areas to choose from. East coasters have it rougher, because you've got to deal with lots of close-in tree lines and telephone poles that inhibit a good horizon line from reflecting down the side of the car. East coasters and mid-westerners: Head for treeless high ground!
Did I mention that you want a place that has a distant horizon line? Once you try it, you'll find that a good sharp horizon line down the side of your car will flatter the shape of the car and make your paint and body work look dynamite. A good horizon line at sunset will even turn an okay-looking car into an awesome-looking car. (Well-known automotive photographer Greg Jarem calls this a "billiard shot" because you're bouncing the horizon line and golden sunset light off the side like a billiard ball.) If you're selling your car and need to take a photo of it, this will make it look thousands of dollars better, so here's a trick that will literally put money in your pocket.
Dealing With Mr. Rent-A-Cop
One thing you'll learn in a hurry: rich folk own all the good property--and they don't mind telling you that with all their security, gates, fences and signs. The Bill Of Rights doesn't have an amendment guaranteeing photographers good places to shoot, so be ready to fight for good photos! Even public parks are problematic. Whip out a camera at a park in California and you can be slapped with hefty fines (yes!). Their dirty little secret is that states earn big revenue from selling photography permits, especially where the film industry is big. Whether you're shooting in the back of a Wal-Mart or at a big park, it's better to ask forgiveness than to ask permission (because you'll rarely get permission). Another tip is to be polite and accommodate any requests made by security or police. Don't argue with the guy if you're being asked to move on (that's usually the worst thing that can happen). When all else fails, play dumb--I'm talking Forrest Gump dumb. You're sorry and just wanted to take "sum pikshurs" of your buddy's car. On the other hand, some security people and park rangers love cars and may even want to help you. Tip: If you know a cop, ask him to come with you to help out. Cops will almost always show professional courtesy to one another. I probably don't need to say it, but I will anyway: if you're on property that doesn't belong to you, don't get funny and start screwing around with the car doing donuts or burnouts. You'll be sorry. On the other hand, if the cops start doing burnouts...
The good news here is that you don't need any extra lights (other than the ones on your car). The sun and sky will be your light source, and with the help of some homemade reflectors, you can put that light anywhere you want it. Most people just line the sun up with their buttocks and shoot the car with full frontal lighting. Don't do this! This is great if you plan a career in crime scene photography, but if you want to flatter the lines of the car and add depth and drama, you'll want to shoot with the sun ranging from directly in front of you to 90 degrees to one side of the camera. This is called backlighting or side lighting. This gives superior results, but only works if you're willing to "fill" some light in with reflectors. These reflectors can be purchased at a pro photo supply center, or made at home with cardboard, aluminum foil, tape and a box cutter. My 9-year-old daughter made two reflectors just for this story with about 50 cents worth of materials. In the time it takes to change your carburetor jets, you can make a couple of good reflectors--and not end up stinking like gas.
Shooting with back- or side-lighting can produce dramatic results, but you may also want to experiment with using the car's headlights or parking lights. Headlights are like "eyes;" they let the camera peer into the soul of a car. Yellow marker lights and red taillights also add a pronounced amount of color when shooting in the waning "golden light" of twilight. Tip: make sure all your lights are working before going out for a shoot.
Some photographers prefer lots of midday light, others like sunset light, and still others prefer afterglow light, which is very low-level light, but very good light. You can take great photos in all kinds of light--even in the rain or at night if necessary.
If you want a fast car, you're going to have to pay for that speed. But if you want a good photo of your car, fortunately you don't need $10,000 in camera equipment. Most point-and-shoot digitals will give you great shots, and if you buy one with the right features, you can even do some pretty interesting action photography too. Most of the photos in this story were taken with a camera that cost under $300, so if you want to compare the quality of these pictures with those on other pages, now's a good time to compare. Don't fool yourself into thinking you can't take a good picture without an extravagant camera. (Lord knows, enough self-proclaimed "pros" have convinced themselves they take good photos because their gear is expensive!).
A point-and-shoot auto-focus film camera that uses 35mm film is fine, but digitals are becoming more affordable and have loads more features for about the same money as an average film camera. If you've got a digital camera with 3 or 4 megapixels, you're in fine shape. I recently bought a Canon S1 IS for under $300 that has 3.2 megapixels and a feature called Image Stabilization (IS). When you push this IS button, most camera shake goes away, which is great for hand-held photography in low light and for car-to-car action photography using a longer shutter speed. I've also got a $2,800 gyrostabilizer for my expensive cameras and the little IS feature on my point-and-shoot Canon does just as good a job at killing camera shake. That's the only product plug I'm going to make in this entire story.
Here's a tip that even manages to escape pros: action photography. Cars moving are always more exciting than cars standing still. There are two basic types of action shots: car-to-car and panning. The first is pretty self-explanatory. You need two buddies for this one--one to drive the car being shot and another to drive the photo vehicle. If you're careful and obey all traffic rules, this can look great and be a lot of fun. Find an empty road that is smooth and shoot from a window or the back of a truck. Make sure your photo vehicle isn't in the shot and don't let your shadow into the picture. I like the subject car's lights to be turned on and the sun to just graze the front of the grill at an angle. A wide-angle lens attachment (they're well under $100) on your point-and-shoot will allow you to get close enough to stay in your lane. The key to a successful car-to-car shot is to put the camera on shutter priority and use a relatively long shutter speed (1/30th or 1/15th of a second). This will accentuate the blur of the pavement and surrounding scenery, and will give some spin to the wheels. Another trick is to find a road with lots of dense trees and foliage very close to the side of the road. Trees that cover the road like a tunnel provide a very cool effect when using long shutter speeds. The dappled sunlight breaking through the canopy of trees will make streaks along the paint and pavement--a very cool speed effect that costs you nothing. (That's how they shoot those swishy new car ads.) The idea is to get everything in the shot blurry, except the body of the car. Try focusing on the grill or the fender closest to the camera. Plan on taking lots of shots to get the one that's in focus--50 or 100 shots isn't unusual at 1/30th of a second shutter speed. If you've got a camera with image stabilization, your job will be made much easier.
A panning shot is taken from the side of the road as the car drives by. You can use a wide-angle lens (close up to the car) or a telephoto lens (far away), it doesn't matter. My ideal location is to find a straight stretch of road that is slightly elevated so I can shoot level with the wheels. A simple uniform background (trees, mountains or sky) is best to help silhouette the shape of the car. (Try not to shoot into facing buildings, fences, poles and street signs.)
The key is to track the car as accurately as you can. My buddy, pro photog Scott Dahlquist, says the trick is to smoothly pivot your upper body at your hips, not your neck, as you track the passing car. Again, the idea is to have the car in sharp focus (at least the front or grill area) while the rest of the photo (background, foreground and wheels) is blurry. I like the car to be going around 60 mph while standing back from the road a few hundred feet. Set the camera on shutter priority and select a shutter speed between 1/125th and 1/200th of a second. If you've got auto-focus, turn it on. If your auto-focus is too slow and won't let you take the picture, select manual focus and pre-focus on a rock or distinguishing mark on the road near where you want to take the picture. Pan with the car and squeeze the shutter as the car passes that point. This will take a while to perfect, so don't get discouraged. Oh, make sure you've got a full tank of gas. Plan on taking 50 to 100 shots to get one really good one. (Don't try this with a film camera! You'll go broke.)
If you're at a road course, autocross or test track, you can use a very fast shutter speed to freeze everything (instead of blurring it). This is the preferred technique for some race photographers, such as Richard Chenet and Ron Lewis. The idea is to show the suspension and the tires working really hard with lots of body lean. The trick here is to set the camera on aperture priority and select the lowest f-stop available. This will guarantee the fastest shutter speed and will reduce the depth of field to bring the eye right to the car. Use the auto-focus feature on your camera or pre-focus on the corner's apex. The downside to this is that if the car isn't cornering hard or spitting out crap from the tires, your photo will look like a static shot and what's the point in that?
Unfortunately, we get lots of photos that go straight to the circular file because they're printed on junk paper. If you prefer to send in photos from your home printer, that's cool, just make sure to include a CD with the same photos on it. The resolution of the image needs to be good enough to reproduce in the magazine, so internet-quality photos aren't going to work. How do you know if it's high enough quality? On your computer, go to "file," click on "properties" and it will tell you how many pixels (width times height) your image has. Since we print at 300 dpi, you can divide both height and width numbers by 300 to tell you how large the photo can be reproduced in the magazine. A photo that is 600 pixels wide will therefore only reproduce 2 inches wide on paper--not good enough for magazine quality, unless you don't mind being the size of a postage stamp.
One final hint here: Don't put all 250 photos on a CD and expect us to pick out the best one (pros please take note of this tip--you're the worst offenders!). You know which photos are best, so put your best foot forward and pick them out. A good photographer is one who knows good from bad and has the guts to cut out the less powerful shots.
Filter Tricks
Filters are tools that can help make a car look better than it really is, or they can be instruments of destruction that can really screw up an otherwise good image. I use three types of filters: color correction, polarization and graduated color filters. A color correction filter will warm up an otherwise blue image taken in shadow, twilight or overcast conditions. Sunset and twilight shots need heavy color correction due to over-abundance of blue skylight, but with a digital camera, color correction is only a push of a button away (push the button or twist the dial to the "cloud" icon. That will sufficiently "warm" the photo for our purposes.) On a film camera, I use an 81EF filter--not a very common filter, but it provides the warmth I like. Lensman Randy Lorenzen uses even more color correction than I do, preferring an 85 (Wratten number) for many low-light location situations with warm-colored cars. This gives his images that trademark "Planet R" look you guys love so much.
I use a polarizer to do two things: eliminate unwanted reflections and bring out the paint color. Beware: A polarizer can flatten the shape of a car, taking away all the subtleties of its sheetmetal, so use this one sparingly. If you're shooting down on the hood and need to bring out the stripes or the color of the paint, use the polarizer. It eliminates some or most cloud reflections and really juices up the paint color on a blah day. This one screws to the front of your lens--or you can hold it in front of the lens on a point-and-shoot camera. Just rotate the filter until you've got the look you want. You can use all of the polarizing effect, or just some of it depending on the amount of rotation. Try it it's fun!
A graduated filter is totally clear on one half and gradually changes to a color on the other half. The colored half goes over the sky and the clear half over the car. You can create some dramatic atmospheric effects (Cars on Mars!) but make sure not to let any part of the colored half of the filter covers up the car or it will look hokey. Also, if you want to have any hope of making a graduated filter look like an authentic atmospheric effect, you have to be shooting toward the setting sun for a warm grad (such as tobacco, red or orange) or away from the sun in the case of a cool grad (such as blue, or God forbid, green or purple). Grad filters are square or rectangular filters that are held in place by a screw-in holder. Cokin makes affordable resin graduates for about $20, but some pros spring for the expensive glass graduates from Tiffen or Lee.
I learned my trade back east, and there's lots of bad weather there. It forced me to deal with conditions that are far from ideal such as rain, snow, wind and cold. One thing I've learned is that weather can create some of the most dramatic automotive images. You can use bad weather to your advantage to set the stage for a really edgy photo. Polarizers and color grad filters can heighten that effect. Bad weather can make a car look so intimidating that it looks like all hell is about to break loose. The key here is to have one or two buddies with you for the shoot that can keep you (or at least your camera) dry by holding something over you. Take some soft terrycloth towels to dry the lens just prior to each picture and you've got it handled.
Camera Support
If you want the best results, you'll probably be shooting in low light just prior to or just after sunset. That being the case, you'll need a sturdy tripod to hold the camera steady. Without one, your pictures will be blurry or have insufficient depth of field. Even with a tripod, you'll encounter camera shake when using a long (telephoto) lens. You can brace the camera with your hand, you can use a cable release or you can use the camera's self-timer to keep the camera from moving. I've also found another interesting tool: a sharpshooter's gun rest. They make these small beanbags out of lightweight pellets that sharpshooters use to stabilize a rifle. I use one to stabilize my camera when I shoot down on the deck. It gets me a lot lower than a tripod and is more stable than a tripod.
You can buy pro-quality reflectors for around $70 each. These feature a reflective silver or gold surface printed on fabric. The fabric is sewn over a flexible steel frame which collapses into a small circle about one third its original size. They're sturdy and last a long time, but if you're only doing this just once, you can make your own reflectors at home with easy-to-find household items.
Gather up a roll of aluminum foil, some clear cellophane tape, a large piece of cardboard (the larger, the better) and a box cutter. Cut a large piece of cardboard the size you want, and then cover one side of it with aluminum foil using the cellophane tape. I've made these many times on location and I know they work firsthand.
You can use one or more reflectors to bounce light into dark areas of the car such as a grill, rear valence panel, interior or engine compartment. If there's only one thing you learn from this entire article, this is it: make or buy a reflector to fill the light into dark areas. Watch out for the dreaded reflector reflection in the side of a car. If you use a reflector to light one or more wheels, position the reflector so it doesn't get reflected in the paint.
We Want Your Photos!
Now that you've learned all the pro tricks, it's time to put them out of business. Think we're kidding? We ain't laughin' on this one. We want to see your chops, so send in your best pictures and we'll print the top 20 shutterbugs' work. You can send print photos made from 35mm film cameras or digital images. We don't care, as long as you follow these rules.
The Rules:
* We need all submissions by June 30. You can send them by ground to: Primedia, attn: Popular Hot Rodding Photo Contest, 774 S. Placentia Ave., Placentia, CA 92870. If you shoot digital, send in color prints, but enclose a CD with high-resolution jpegs. Each entry is limited to your five best images. Don't send us 6, 10, or 50 or 300 images--those entries will be going directly in the circular file.

This Buick Grand National is growing a huge pole with a sign from its roof. Before snapping the shutter, take a moment to look at the photo for any problems. Notice how the concrete wall in the background intersects with the roof of the car. This boo-boo is called a tangency. The sun is also too close to the car.The same car, this time shot with the sun to the photographer's back--another no-no. Note the tangency with the horizon and the roofline, and the extraneous clutter of other cars. This is a bad photo, shame on me!This is a much better photo of the same car at the same time of day in the same location, only this time I moved the car to shoot with side lighting and a reflector. There is a clean background and no tangencies. This photo could've been made better by turning the high-beam lights on.Using homemade reflectors constructed from cardboard and aluminum foil, this set-up shows how you can use strong side lighting in the middle of the day while filling in the dark areas.Our lead photo for the story shows the set-up for this shot, which was taken with a $300 point-and-shoot digital camera. This photo was taken by car owner Robert Wilson at the exact moment I was shooting the story's lead shot. The image could've been made better by cleaning up the garbage in the background, but it still points out how relatively easy it is to take a good snap shot. Compare this shot to those in the feature elsewhere in this issue. Can you spot the erroneous tangency?I was on location in Indiana when I took this shot of Bret Voelkel's '69 Mustang. I was set up for a tight close-up of the taillight, valence and rear bumper. I'm using the reflector to light up the rear and a white sheet to brighten up the chrome bumper. Neither the reflector nor the sheet showed up in the final photo.I'm a big fan of shooting "on the deck," or close to the ground. This shows the car's stance and makes the car look menacing. This shot shows a lot: a low angle, a clean background, sharp side lighting, good use of reflectors, and the fact that the photographer (car owner Robert Wilson) is using an inexpensive point-and-shoot digital camera.
...and the second one with Reflectors. Can you believe there are "pros" out there who refuse to use reflectors under strong sunlight? These shots were taken in the middle of the day, which is far from ideal. A sunset shot would be far more dramatic.Speaking of dramatic, here is the same location later on at sunset with the Buick Grand National. See what a big difference the time of day makes? This is a really good example of having a strong horizon line in the side of the car; it flatters the car's lines and adds a ton of color. (Not bad for a black car, huh?) Note how the headlights' being on really makes the shot work. Now cover up the last part of the caption and guess what would make this shot better. The answer: remove the big ugly sticker in the corner of the windshield.If you want to shoot action photos, there is a variety of equipment available to stabilize the camera platform, ranging from the absurdly expensive $2,800 Kenyon Labs KS-6 Gyrostabilizer (attached to the Pentax medium-format rig on the left), to the somewhat more affordable Canon prosumer image stabilizer lens attached to the Canon 10D (right), and the super-affordable Canon S1 IS point-and-shoot digital (front).If you've got a Canon SLR camera body, the Canon 28-135mm IS lens is the one to get. It has a built-in image stabilizer that is activated by a switch on the side of the lens. This dampens yaw and pitch motion so the camera can be hand-held in low light. This also allows you to push up the shutter speed (between 1/15th and 1/30th sec.) when shooting car-to-car action shots. The extra shutter speed will allow blurring the background without introducing camera shake in the rest of the car. Canon makes other IS lenses in longer telephoto lengths, but this is the only wide-angle one which can be used for car-to-car action.This Canon S1 IS has a built-in image stabilizer for under $300. Eventually, I predict all decent point-and-shoots will have this technology built into them, but for now you'll have to seek this feature out if you want to shoot car-to-car action.How well does the little $300 Canon point-and-shoot work with the image stabilizer on? You be the judge. Five years ago, I needed $2,800 worth of extra equipment (beyond the price of a camera) to get a shot like this.This is a circular polarizer. Its job is to filter out photons that are not aligned in the same plane as microscopic slots in the filter. Translation: reflections from smooth surfaces like paint are filtered out at specific angles.When used correctly, a polarizer can put a super color whammy on a car under the right conditions. Here, the polarizer is cutting reflections off the front of the hood, allowing only the richness of the red metallic paint to reach the camera. Did we mention that bad weather could be a great opportunity for great photos? Some American "pros" refuse to shoot under these conditions, citing poor light. You be the judge. Nobody has worse weather than the English, so next time you're in a high-end bookstore, check out some of the photos in English car magazines. You'll be impressed.
This '68 Charger was shot at sunset (facing the sunset) using the dark red graduated filter shown in the previous photo. Note how none of the red part of the filter is touching the car. I'm actually holding the filter over the front of the lens with one hand while tripping the shutter with my other hand. I'm also using a circular polarizer to juice up the color on the hood.You'll need a good camera support- a tripod in most cases- to stabalize your shot. It's easy taking pictures in bright daylight without a tripod, but when you get into the good sunset light and twilight, you can forget about hand holding the camera. Sharp readers may also be tempted to just bumb the ISO from 100 to 400 or higher, but you will get lots of "noise" in the red channel in a digital, and reciprocity loss with the film if you elect to push process. Resist this urge and keep it set on ISO 50 or ISO 100 for the vbest results, using the tripod.

I just want to ask if the Zimbra Connector for BlackBerry Enterprise Server is supported on the Open Source Edition?
Does it require licenses to activate?
I am very new with zimbra and right now I am doing some draft proposal to deploy zimbra here in our office.
Currently I am compiling all the features supported on open source edition then do some comparisions on the network edition.

Well, how's this for unfortunate timing? Now that meteorological summer is over and the kids are back in school, our weather pattern is turning much more pleasant. The long-range forecast looks sunnier and drier, in stark contrast to the soggy summer weather we had to deal with.
As I talked about in a previous post, the summer was a bit cooler than normal, and much wetter. If we're just considering meteorological summer- which is the months of June, July and August- we had 5.3" more precipitation than in a typical 3-month summer period. Statistically, the summer didn't look that cool on paper- our average temperature was 0.57 above normal- but that number takes both the high and the low temperature for the day into account. Since it was so humid this summer, our overnight low temperatures were much milder than average. The humidity not only prevented temperatures from cooling down overnight, but it also kept us from getting too terribly hot during the day. The humidity is partially responsible for our small number of days with 90+ temperatures (only 23 days in 3 months). As a result, most of the summer was very warm and uncomfortably humid.
Of course, summer is typically more humid than fall, but this pattern shift in the forecast is more than just a seasonal variation! We're also finally seeing a breakdown of the huge ridge out west, which gave portions of the Rocky Mountains one of the hottest and driest summers on record. An upper-air map from September 1st shows the ridge in place out west, and our hot and humid pattern from the Labor Day weekend:
Model data, such as the chart below from the European model, suggests that the ridge will subside a bit and slide to the east. Here's a look at the forecast upper-air map for this upcoming Sunday:
Notice how the ridge is now in the center of the country! When a ridge is situated just to our west, it blocks strong and/or moisture-laden cold fronts from moving through the DC Metro. A general northwest flow will keep the humidity nice and comfortable, and should lead to some nice, crisp fall nights. The ridge is expected to slowly progress eastward during the month of September. If that happens, we can expect a period of dry weather with temperatures above normal. I think we'll see lots of 80s for high temperatures in September, with only a scant few days with highs in the 70s. The 90s that we had to begin the month might be it for this year! Let's hope I didn't speak too soon. :-)

The 2008 Amsoil/Mopar Muscle Engine Challenge - Cedarstrand Racing EnginesWritten by on June 1, 2009 Contributors: Randy Bolig, Courtesy of Cederstrand Racing Engines Cederstrand Racing Engines Places Fourth
To see video of Cedarstrand's dyno run click here.
When deciding what engine to feature in this year's Amsoil/Mopar Muscle engine challenge, we figured that with tough economic times affecting most of us, we'd choose the Mopar engine that would logically give the most bang for the buck, the 440. As the largest displacement V-8 engine ever produced by Chrysler, the 440 was standard equipment in various platforms including muscle cars, trucks, and many C-bodies. Since the 440 packs a mean punch stock and responds well to modifications, we decided it would be fun to see how much power professional engine builders could make with this potent V-8.
This year, our rules restricted all the engine builders to a .060-inch maximum overbore 440, and they all had to use the same Indy SR cylinder heads, steel connecting rods, and run on Rockett Brand 93 octane pump fuel. Otherwise, anything other than weld or epoxy modifying the heads or block was fair game. Engine builder August Cederstrand of Cederstrand Racing Engines built an impressive 440 for our 2008 Engine Challenge, making more than 670 hp and 573 lb/ft of torque to capture fourth place in our contest. This month we'll go inside the Cederstrand Racing Engines entry and see just how they did it.
To build a 440 that would make great power and be durable enough to last for multiple dyno pulls, August says he decided to use nothing but top quality parts for this engine. Stating that the entire engine is only as good as its weakest part, August relied on quality parts, accurate machining and assembly techniques, and a well thought out combination to give him an advantage in this year's contest. Having been dyno tuned prior to arriving at Comp, this engine needed only minor ignition timing and valve lash changes to produce killer horsepower and torque. During the scored dyno pulls, August pulled out all the stops by adding velocity stacks and cooling the intake manifold with electric parts cleaner for maximum power. Follow along as we go inside the Cederstrand Racing Engines entry to find out just what combination of parts and techniques were used to capture fourth place in a very close contest.
Knowing the 440 Mopar block is one of the toughest factory blocks ever produced, Cederstrand Racing Engines chose a seasoned '71 block for their build. As a clean factory block, August chose to sacrifice a few cubic inches and only bore it .030 inch oversize to save the block for future builds. After boring the block, it was honed with torque plates and fitted with tough Milodon ductile iron main caps and Milodon main studs, then treated to new freeze plugs and painted inside and out. To fill the block, August chose a factory forged steel crankshaft, which was turned .010 inch undersize, and matched the crank with a set of Ross forged flat-top pistons and Oliver forged I-beam connecting rods. The entire rotating assembly was balanced to within 1/2 gram. Clevite full-grove main bearings and coated rod bearings were utilized, and Total Seal rings with a gapless top and Napier second ring were used to seal the combustion chamber. To ensure proper oiling, a Milodon PN30931 single external pan and oiling system was used with a Melling high volume oil pump. To further reduce windage, a Milodon "top fuel" style windage tray and NAPA high volume oil filter were utilized.
To top this solid short-block, Cederstrand Racing Engines was required to use the same Indy SR aluminum cylinder heads as the rest of the field. Starting with Indy's CNC ported castings, August installed S.I. Silverline stainless steel racing valves with undercut stems and performed a full-radius valve job before hand-lapping the valves. Isky PN 9357 double valvesprings were used to control the action of the .728-inch lift, 260-degree duration at .050-inch lift, Comp custom ground solid roller camshaft. T&D 1.6 ratio roller rocker arms were used for their durability and ratio accuracy, and the rocker shafts were shimmed .030 inch for perfect valvetrain geometry. Manley 3/8-inch chrome-moly pushrods with a 7.65-inch overall length were used to actuate the rockers. To spin the camshaft, August chose an accurate Milodon gear drive instead of the conventional double-roller timing chain and gears, stating that for valvetrain accuracy and durability, nothing beats a gear drive.
Topping this combination, August chose Indy's tunnel-ram aluminum intake manifold with a pair of 650-cfm Holley HP series carburetors. The intake was port matched in house, and Magnaflow anti-reversion plates were installed before bolting the carbs on. To light the fires, an MSD Pro-billet distributor and MSD 8.5mm race wires routed the spark to the NGK platinum race plugs. Like most of our competitors, August says there's no one part or technique that helped him build such a powerful 440, but rather a well thought out combination of parts and techniques that helped his engine achieve its impressive power numbers. At over 670 hp, this is one bad 440 and would be fun in any street car or bracket racer. We congratulate Cederstrand Racing Engines for placing fourth in their inaugural Engine Challenge and wish August success with his new business.

Since this is a stock stroke 440, Cederstrand chose a factory forged steel crankshaft in their engine.To keep this 440 properly lubricated, Cederstrand installed a Milodon single-line external oiling system combined with a Melling high-volume oil pump. This is one of the best setups available for the big-block Mopar and will easily handle oiling duties up to 7,000 rpm and beyond.To further reduce power-robbing windage, a Milodon "top fuel" style windage tray was modified slightly, and then sandwiched between the block and oil pan. A large capacity oil filter also helped reduce windage by keeping oil out of the crankcase.6.76-inch Oliver forged connecting rods were combined with Ross PN 99539 forged pistons to complete the rotating assembly, and the assembly was balanced to within 1/2 gram.Diamond flat-top forged pistons were treated to special coating on the piston tops and installed to achieve a compression ratio of eleven to one.Cederstrand Racing Engines used the same Indy SR heads as the rest of the competitors, and treated the combustion chambers and exhaust ports to a thermal barrier coating.Total seal rings, with a gapless top ring, Napier second ring, and low-tension oil rings were used to seal the pistons in the cylinders.
T&D roller rocker arms were used and shimmed .030 inch off of the rocker stands for proper valvetrain geometry. Requiring the use of ball-ball pushrods, these are some of the toughest, most accurate rockers on the market for a big-block Mopar.Cederstrand port-matched the intake to the cylinder heads for a smooth transition at the intake port, then topped his tunnel-ram with a pair of modified Holley HP series 650-cfm carburetors.For his last judged pull, August sprayed his intake with electronic parts cleaner to cool it down, netting a slight gain in power. The NHRA outlawed this practice in Pro Stock racing, so there must be something to it.Since our contest factors peak power and torque, Cederstrand used an Indy tunnel-ram intake manifold, giving his engine the potential to make better peak numbers than if he'd used a conventional single-plane intake.By using underdrive pulleys, less power is used to spin the water pump so more power is available at the crankshaft.

Kansas City, KS (Sports Network) - Sporting Kansas City will attempt to start
another long unbeaten run on Saturday when the club welcomes the Portland
Timbers to Sporting Park.
Kansas City went into last weekend riding a three-game winning streak and a
five-game unbeaten run, aided by a 519-minute shutout streak.
All of that came to an end last Saturday thanks to a 27th-minute goal from
Marcelo Sarvas, which set the table for Landon Donovan to seal a 2-0 victory
for the Los Angeles Galaxy at The Home Depot Center.
Sporting has managed to score just two goals over its last three games, but
head coach Peter Vermes is not worried about a perceived lack of offense from
his side.
"I think we're good," Vermes said. "I guess I'm not - I would say that it's
fine, because it's not anything I'm really concerned about. If I was, I'd be
trying to figure out a lot of different things, and I'm not."
The offensive output may be lacking on Saturday as many clubs arrive at
Sporting Park with the intention of sitting back and absorbing pressure,
making it difficult for Kansas City to break down such a compact unit.
Sporting's odds of claiming maximum points on Saturday also appear to be in
question as Portland brings the league's last remaining unbeaten road record
to the meeting.
Portland most recently played to a 1-1 road draw against the San Jose
Earthquakes, a result that left the Timbers disappointed given the fact that
they threw away two points by conceding a late equalizer.
"What's even more impressive is we're not happy with the draws," Timbers head
coach Caleb Porter said after Tuesday's training session. "That means that you
genuinely have belief in your group. These guys, no matter if we're home or
away or who we're playing, they believe we can get a result."
The Timbers have tied all three of their road matches so far this term, a far
cry from the club's form away from Jeld-Wen Field last season. According to
Porter, that level of success is down to his side's belief within themselves.
"We genuinely believe that if we play well then we will have a chance to win,"
Porter said. "This group believes we have the talent and the methodology to
put ourselves in position to get results."

This product works in two ways:-
Firstly a boost of hormones is given to the plant. This allows the plant to mature easily and quickly, in turn it uses up any residues of excess nutrient within the plant sap.
Secondly, we use the correct balance of salts to aid with the removal of salt residue and nutrient build up in the root zone and plant sap. This will promote sugar production to give a sweeter, smoother tasting fruit.
NO ph adjustment is necessary when using this product.
Available in 1L, 5 litres or 20 litres
