Taupo sits on the edge of Lake Taupo, which was created by a gigantic volcanic eruption in 181AD. The lake is the largest in Australasia and measures 616 square kilometres – that's as big as Singapore! Despite its violent creation, Lake Taupo's sandy beaches and deep blue waters make it an ideal place to take a dip or go on a fishing trip. The volcanic nature of the region has also formed a number of thermal parks and hot pools. Head to the Orakei Korako Geothermal Wonderland, where you can watch bubbling mud pools and gushing geysers or take a tour of Ruatapu Cave, one of only two caves in the world located in a geothermal field. Taupo's natural wonders don't end there. Take a five minute drive along Waikato River to view the Huka Falls, one of the most visited and photographed attractions in New Zealand. Listen to the roaring rapids and admire the rich blue river as you stroll between viewing platforms. Daredevils can hop on a jet boat and ride the falls! Equally enthralling is Mine Bay, where you can take a boat or kayak and come face-to-face with huge rock carvings. Taupo's CBD comes with everything you'd expect from one of New Zealand's top destinations. Stroll through Taupo's high street for big label outlets, boutiques and art galleries – perfect if you want to pick up a souvenir or simply want to treat yourself. If you're planning an adventure, Taupo also has many sports and adventure shops selling speciality equipment. Continue your adventure in Waikato and Waitomo, Eastland, and Manawatu, all close to Taupo. So wot are you waiting for?

This hunt really started over a year ago. I was planning on hunting this unit last year as my 2nd choice when I drew my first choice out of nowhere! When I stopped at the Lander field office last year to buy my conservation stamp I made a last minute decision to buy a left over doe tag for this unit and do some scouting. After filling my 1st choice tag on a very nice buck I headed to this unit with my doe tag. The unit has a decent amount of BLM but it was a lot harder to figure out what was BLM then I expected and I was really kicking myself for not planning better but it turned out to be the best mistake I ever made. I pulled into a ranch to verify what was BLM and after talking for a while the owner offered to let me harvest a doe on his ranch! I got a doe in no time and by the time I was ready to leave I had been invited to come back and hunt next year!
I stopped by the ranch to visit in June when I was in the area. While I was there the owner Ken showed me his very impressive collection of old guns. That got me thinking I wanted to do something different on this hunt. I went through my safe and chose the oldest gun I own, a model 1894 Winchester 30-30 made in 1896. It has a 26'' octagon barrel and Marbles peep sights and is in very nice shape for its age. I had bought this gun the same day I got my orders to deploy to Iraq and hadn't shot it very much. I sighted it in at 150 yards with 170 grain Remington core-lokts. The old gun shot very nice groups and with a little practice I was confident to 200 yards and set that as my limit. I thought about taking my trusty .270 Win along too but when I left the only gun in my truck was my old lever action. I was going to do this with the old 30-30 or not at all!
The season opened 10/1 and I want to get there a couple days early to do some scouting but we had to finish planting winter wheat before I could leave and it would not stop raining so I didn't get to leave until the 5th. I got to the ranch early afternoon the next day and there is only 1 word to describe things, MUD. They had got snow a few days before and it had warmed up and was melting fast. My plan was to just do some glassing for the rest of the day and figure out where I wanted to be the next morning. I saw a bunch of antelope but nothing very big and none were in a place I could make a stalk close enough for the gun I was shooting. I knew I would have to be patient and wait for the right opportunity. I returned to a big draw I had briefly glassed earlier to do some more glassing and spotted a lone antelope bedded in the other end of it nearly a mile away. I put the spotting scope on him. He was a decent buck and he was in a good place to make a stalk! There was a big ditch going up toward him with a stock tank on the edge of it that I estimated would give me a 150 yard shot and the wind was in my face! I made good time up the ditch and when I thought I was getting close I crawled up the bank to look things over. I was close to the stock tank and the buck was still bedded. When I got behind the stock tank I chambered a round and set the hammer down to half cock. When I got part way up the bank I decided to back out and come up about 25 yards from the tank in a place that would give me a better place to shoot from and had some small sage brush for cover. I crawled up the bank in mud and melting snow. Right when I got to the spot I wanted to be I'm not sure if the buck spotted me or not but he knew something wasn't right and started to get nervous. I quickly ranged him at 155 yards and for lack of anything better I took my binoculars off and rested the gun on them. Right about this time he stood up. I pulled the hammer back, settled the bead behind his shoulder and squeezed the trigger. The old Winchester fired and I herd the bullet hit! He took a few steps and stood there. I chambered another round and laid there with the bead on him just in case he tried to take off but pretty soon his legs started to buckle and he went down!! The pack out was pretty level except for 1 big muddy ditch I had to cross. I really didn't want to skin and quarter him in the mud so I ended up packing him out whole on my shoulders. When I was almost back to my truck I was met by a very nice game warden that helped me load him up and validated my tag.
When I got back to the ranch I pulled my gun out and asked the owner if he liked my antelope gun and told him how his gun collection had inspired me to hunt with it this year. He was very excited I had used it to kill an antelope on his ranch and commented several times how neat it was! After looking it all over he told me what a nice old gun it was which I took as quite a compliment considering all the guns he has that are much older then mine. Then Ken and his brother look at my antelope and told me it was the nicest antelope killed on the ranch recently.
The next morning I filled my doe tag and after she cooled out I packed both of them up and headed out. On the way out I stopped on the gravel road. I walked around behind my truck and when I looked down I had nearly stepped on a small rattle snake. Without even thinking about it I jumped up on my bumper, grabbed a shovel in back of my truck and killed it.
I felt a sense of accomplishment on this hunt I have never felt before. There is something about limiting yourself with the equipment you choose to use when you could use anything you wanted that makes success that much sweeter when it comes. I now understand why guys choose to use a bow or muzzle loader on an any weapon hunt. I never truly understood that before. I'm not saying I'm going to hunt exclusively with my 30-30 from now on but I sure wouldn't hesitate to take it on any hunt I went on.
Sadly the ranch owner is in very poor health and is expected to pass any day. When I was there in June he was having some problems. They have gotten much worse since and there is nothing the doctors can do. Ken was a sniper in the Korean war, a rancher and the nicest, kindest, most interesting person I have ever known. I did not know him for very long but I am truly grateful I got to meet him and for what time I did get to spend with him. It wasn't easy leaving his ranch knowing I will not see him again. I have decided to mount this antelope not because it is big but because of the ranch I got him on, the gun I used, and I would like to look at him in years to come and remember Ken and the great times I had at his ranch. Knowing all this I am even happier I chose to use my old Winchester on what I didn't know at the time would be my last hunt on his ranch. It was a great hunt I will never forget. This ones for you Ken!
I wish I had got better pics where I killed him but in my excitement to stalk him I forgot to take my camera.
I have to share this because I thought it was pretty funny. There were some guys hunting there that just could not believe that anyone would walk that far to get an antelope and pack it out. I got the feeling I was not very popular with some of them since they had all been there a few days with nothing to show for it and I had a nice antelope on the ground in a few hours. Its up to them if they don't want to walk but wasn't expecting them to hold it against me. 1 of them even went as far as mentioning this to the owners brother. I guess he didnt think much of that because later when myself and everyone else hunting was there he said "quite a few guys hunting here but only 1 spilled blood yet, the 1 that got out and walked".

Hi im highly tempted to give up the big 3, I have been on liquid minox (nights) and rogain foam (mornings) and niz shampoo and fin daily for over 4 years.
I have not made any gains and lost a bit with my hair line, the only thing the big 3 gave me was these lovely dark circles around my eyes and since I am Indian, the sides look like 2 black eyes frankly!
As you can see it looks quite bad, people always say I look tired and like I have not slept.... even worser it makes me look way older then I am.
Considering the side effects and since I have not seen any gains apart from 1000s of tiny minox hairs that never sprouted and I have barely kept what I have is it worth giving it all up or sticking to fin + niz for now? I am just worried the dark circles will not go away right now....

Thank you. We heard your feedback and updated this recipe to help ensure recipe success. To prevent the baked cake layers from sticking to the pans, generously grease and flour the cake pans (or line them with parchment paper) and allow for the full 30 min. cooling time before removing the layers from the pans. Also, be sure to swirl the two batters together evenly. If you live in a high-altitude location, follow the High Altitude Directions on the cake mix package and to help prevent the batter from overflowing, use 9-inch round cake pans.
Use a teaspoon to swirl the two colors of batter - it's the perfect size for lifting and pulling the two colors together. For best results, be careful to not swirl the batters too much or the color of the cakes will be all pink and not marbled.
* Nutrition information is estimated based on the ingredients and cooking instructions as described in each recipe and is intended to be used for informational purposes only. Please note that nutrition details may vary based on methods of preparation, origin and freshness of ingredients used.
Never fail to get rave reviews when I make this and take it places. Quick (just remember to allow for plenty of cooling time), easy, fun, and gorgeous. And it's very, very good. I prefer making it and taking places there are lots of people to eat it all up, because it's not so great refrigerated and leftover.
I make this every year for Christmas…my family loves it so much I should make two! I didn't have round pans this year so i used two 7x7 something ish square cake pans…it came out just as good!

Burlington, NC -- Sheriff's deputies arrested a Burlington man Friday for downloading child pornography.
The Alamance County Sheriff's Office and the Homeland Security Investigations Task Force had been investigating Jack Edward Hicks since October.
Detectives say he had allegedly been downloading child pornography on the internet from his home on North Ave. Investigators obtained a warrant and seized several computers as part of the investigation.
As a result, they arrested Hicks, 50, and charged him with five counts of Third-Degree Sexual Exploitation of a Minor Friday.
He's being held in the Alamance County Jail under a $75,000.

GAITHERSBURG, Md. (WUSA) -- They stood holding signs in the cold and drizzle to express their outrage. That anger stems directly from personal experience.
"Mammograms helped me find my cancer. Without it, I could be dead. I'm very angry about the new guidelines," said Helen Pollin.
The new guidelines were released last week by the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force. It recommends against routine mammography screening for women ages 40 to 49.
Sarah Frought says, "My cancer was diagnosed by a routine mammogram at the age of 42. I am in the age group that these new guidelines say, you don't need to get a mammogram. I just think that's a really dangerous message to be giving women. "
For women 50 to 75, the panel advises screening every other year. For older women, no routine mammograms are advised.
Another protester, Susan Sonley says, "If we don't have anything better than mammograms, why would we stop doing them for women under 50 and over 75?"
The women are picketing at 540 Gaither Road because that's the address the Task Force lists. The Task Force is under the umbrella of Health and Human Services, which has a building there.
In Washington, the leader of the world's largest breast cancer organization dismissed the new guidelines.
Nancy Brickner says, "At Susan G. Komen for the Cure, we are not changing our guidelines. We can't afford to, because for all the progress we've made against breast cancer, it's still the leading killer of women between the ages of 40 and 60. "
Brinker advises women to keep getting their mammograms. The women on the picket line want to see the guidelines rescinded. Brinker warned insurance companies that if they even think about stopping coverage of annual mammograms, the Susan G. Komen for the Cure will be watching as a women's advocate.

UCSD swimmer Beth Dong is "The Comeback Kid"
She was excited to swim that night.
But strangely, UC San Diego senior Beth Dong felt no pressure when she stepped onto the blocks to begin the 400-meter individual medley final at last November's Arena Invitational.
Arena was the Tritons' first big meet of the season. Beth was coming off a blazing fast 4:19.20 in the morning prelim where she'd shaved five seconds off her personal best.
It was a phenomenal result — especially for a Division II swimmer racing against an Olympian and a host of other top-notch Division I athletes.
It also meant that Beth had punched her ticket to Birmingham, Ala., for Wednesday's Division II National Championships. Quite an accomplishment for a woman who, in the past eight years, had survived two major back surgeries as well as the loss of her mentor.
So in this final, she had nothing to lose.
The call came: "Take your mark."
A couple lanes down from Beth, Cal's Caitlin Leverenz was getting into her start position.
Yes, the same Caitlin Leverenz who'd won a 2012 Olympic bronze medal in the 200IM right around the time Beth was preparing to have her back sliced open on an operating table.
Freshman Beth might have been intimidated. Senior Beth was unfazed. She was going to be just fine.
"I remember just being really grateful that I was there," Beth recalls. "Swimming in finals, even swimming at all."
After all, there was a time not so long ago, when the woman the Tritons call "The Comeback Kid" had wondered if she'd ever swim again.
Show time.
The swimmers sliced into the water.
Beth was 14 the first time she woke up drugged and in doubt, after a six-hour surgery.
Her strong, previously-unblemished swimmer's back was now dissected by a massive line of stitches that ran from the bottom of her neck all the way to her tailbone.
"It looked like a horror story," Beth recalls.
Or at least she assumes it did since she never actually saw the wound. It apparently looked so horrific that her mother didn't take a picture for fear that it might traumatize her daughter.
But all physical scarring aside, the scariest thing about that day was all of the unknowns.
After an 11-year love affair with competitive swimming that started at the age of 3, an extreme case of scoliosis had forced Beth to say goodbye to the sport that had come to define her.
Scoliosis is an abnormal lateral curvature of the spine that, in extreme cases, can severely compromise organ function.
Beth was first diagnosed with the problem after a routine scoliosis screening in fifth grade.
The school nurse ordered Beth off to see a doctor, who found that the girl's spine was already curved at a 44-degree angle. Specialists generally recommend surgery to correct curves of more than 50 degrees.
So for three years from sixth grade on, Beth wore a thick, hard plastic brace under her clothes.
The thing was uncomfortable, and the only time Beth was allowed to take it off was when she was in the pool.
Perhaps it was then that swimming began to function as the ultimate release — the only activity that the awkward teenager could perform unencumbered.
Swimming felt natural to Beth, it always had.
She'd grown up on pool decks watching her older siblings, Rachel and Jacob, compete at swim meets, while her self-proclaimed "swim-mom" worked the meets as a volunteer.
Beth swam her very first lap at the age of 3, when her mother lured her across the pool with the incentive of a gold medal on the other end. Little Beth had only just started learning how to swim, but she gamely flopped onto her back and backstroked 25 yards across the pool.

Process Control Using a PID Controller
Application ID: 866
This model shows how a flow model can be coupled to a process control mechanism.
Controlling application parameters according to other application parameters is important within process engineering. Most control mechanisms use the data at a wall or an outlet to control inlet parameters. More accurate control can occur if you can control inlet parameters due to data found within a component or piece of equipment.
This model couples mass transfer to fluid flow with two inlets (one controlled) and a PID controller. In this case, fluid flow is controlled according to the concentration at a point within the geometry - therefore a requirement for a physical model.
The model makes use of Projection variables in order to couple the Ordinary differential equation of the PID controller to the concentration point and the inlet velocity.

I am a 100% Zimbra newbie, so sorry if this is a totally stupid question.
I have a bunch of email on an online zimbra server from a disabled email account. The server license is expired and will never be reactivated. Essentially, all that i want to do is download all of the messages to my desktop so that I have a copy of them in case the messages disappear off the online server forever.
So I downloaded zimbra desktop and downloaded my the messages and everything worked fine. But now when i try to relaunch the application, I get the following message:
An error occurred while initializing the zimlet "com_zdesktop_survey". Please notify administrator.
And then Zimbra instantly crashes.
Any help would be appreciated. Like I said I am a 100% newbie, so please ask me questions if I have not explained something that i am trying to do clearly enough.
Thank you.

The doctoral degree at UMass Lowell is an interdisciplinary, research-oriented degree. The program is designed to provide a theoretically grounded, methodologically sophisticated, and statistically rigorous education. As such, the curriculum provides for a sequence of courses in theory, methodology, and statistics. The curriculum also builds upon faculty research strengths and offers substantive courses which address the incidence of crime, the prevalence and correlates of criminals and victims, and the effectiveness of current strategies in the areas of crime prevention, policing, the courts, and the corrections system (both institutional and community based). Throughout the five concentrations or specialty areas in which students can specialize, the curriculum stresses evidence driven and "best practices" approaches to numerous substantive topics that are key areas in contemporary criminology and criminal justice.
The program was designed to achieve particular outcomes. First, we expect that graduates of the doctoral program will be competent to conduct interdisciplinary research and to teach at both the graduate and undergraduate levels in aspects of criminology and/or criminal justice depending upon their specific areas of specialty. The program will thus train the next generation of faculty who will teach criminology and criminal justice in the state and region's community colleges and four-year institutions, as well as nationally, and who will be well positioned to develop productive research agendas in crime and justice.
Second, we also expect that our graduates will be well prepared for analytical and administrative leadership posts in international and domestic research and policy institutions. The program will thus train the policy analysts, managers, and administrators in criminal justice and community venues to help prevent crime in the first place, or alternatively, respond effectively to those who violate the law or who come into contact with the justice system.
The doctoral program at UMass Lowell will ensure that our graduates will be at the forefront of the expanding frontier of criminology and an ever evolving criminal justice system, and consequently, will more effectively be able to address crime control and criminal justice policy problems through sophisticated research than would otherwise be the case.
The doctoral degree in Criminology and Criminal Justice is a 60-credit-hour doctoral program. The curriculum has been developed to incorporate a theoretically grounded and methodologically sophisticated set of courses as a highly necessary foundation for the evidence driven and "best practices" approaches to the substantive concentration areas. In order to deliver this curriculum effectively, the course work contains three progressive tiers. The three tiers are hierarchical and build upon one another. There are multiple measures to assess student learning throughout the three tiers.
Please download the Graduate Programs Guide (pdf) for further information on the three tiers of course work and complete descriptions of all degree requirements and procedures.

It is important to monitor your birds weight on a regular basis to uncover hidden illness. In the wild, a bird must mask illness or it will attract predators and will be killed or ejected from the flock. Parrots mask their illness as an instinctual survival mechanism.
Frequently, pet bird owners report that they didn't have a clue that their parrot was sick. They just came home to find their bird had passed away.
One of the earliest signs of illness that a responsible pet bird owner can rely on is to monitor bird weight with a reliable bird scale.
Weight gain and weight loss are often the first preliminary indicators that your bird is sick. An accurate gram scale such as our the Redmon Bird Scale can save your bird's life!
Record your birds weight each week at about the same time of day for instance first thing in the morning before your bird has eaten. Develop a visual graph to help you notice changes. This will help you determine your bird's baseline weight and develop an eye for patterns. Try to match weight changes to events in your bird's life. Write yourself notes on your bird weight chart about what is happening to your bird and his environment. Just as you know that when your bird eats blueberries, the next several poops will be reddish-purple, you will learn your bird's weight fluctuations in regard to specific circumstances.
So, when should you be concerned about weight changes in your bird? When you use a gram bird scale regularly, graphing the weight, you can monitor slight changes and take action before it is too late. It is imperative that you write down the bird weight each week. You would not become alarmed with a 3-5% loss unless the weight loss continues over 1-2 weeks. You will want to increase the frequency of weighing if your bird is developing a weight loss pattern.
Any bird that sustains an unexplained weight loss of more than 5% in a single weighing should go IMMEDIATELY to the vet. A bird with a weight loss over 5% is in a VERY serious, perhaps even life-threatening, condition. Weight losses over 10% can easily result in death if not treated immediately. Only a high quality gram bird scale such as our Redmon Gram Bird Scale Kit can assist you in detecting these minute weight differences.
An adult bird that is experiencing unexplained weight gan may need a medical work-up to explore the possibility of fatty liver disease (hepatic lipidosis), fatty tumors (lipomas and xanthomas) or generalized lipornatosis (an abnormal layer of fat deposited under the skin). Weight gain is also a symptom of metabolic problems, heart or liver problems. Further, your vet will rule out egg binding in female birds, tumors, lack of exercise and a high fat bird diet. It has also become apparent to us that weight gain can be an indicator of hormonal changes and the reproductive cycle - especially in females.
Weight loss is a worrisome symptom of many infectious diseases (including proventricular dilatation disease [PDD], aspergillosis and others), infestation with parasites (including Giardia and roundworms), inappropriate diet, competition for food with other birds, metabolic problems, some tumors and beak problems.

text: By Pastor Vince CarrigSports Writer Freshman guard Brandie Ross' three-point play from an offensive rebound helped her Perkins County team butcher a seven-point Lady Longhorns halftime lead and win the "Pink Out" game 34-30 last Thursday night (Jan. 10) in Imperial. Ross finished off an offensive rebound to give Perkins County breathing room with a 32-28 lead and under 2:00 remaining; her bucket-and-foul play in the third quarter fueled an 11-4 Lady Plainsmen takeover. Ross' five points in the second half and eight for the game tied her with Matisyn Humphrey for "game-high" honors. Humphrey stashed four first half free throws and gained the Lady Plainsmen permanent possession of the lead with a great pass to guard Michi Prante for a 30-28 Perkins County lead. Humphrey also redirected an errant teammates shot for points to tie the game one last time, 28-28. Chase County had briefly regained the lead on a 16-foot baseline shot from forward Paige Spady and a left wing, left-handed layup from Bethany Sorenson. Point guard Jessi Hoffert's jumper from eight feet away and steal, drive and score gave the visitors in pink their first lead of the second half, 26-24. "I couldn't be more pleased with our defensive performance in the second half where we held them to only six points," Lady Plainsmen Head Coach Deanne Bishop said after the game. "Our girls are doing a good job of 'gutting it out' and finding ways to win." The Lady Longhorns wore white uniforms with pink numbers (and orange socks) as Perkins County wore pink uniforms with white numbers in honor of the schools' "Pink Out" fundraiser. All proceeds from the Imperial FFA chapter's sale of t-shirts went to the Chase County Hospital Foundation's Cancer Fund, benefitting people like Lady Longhorns sophomore Makenna Wallin (honored at halftime) as she battles acute myeloid leukemia. Reserve guard Courtney Ostermiller rattled down one free throw and swished another to give Perkins County its final margin of victory, four points.Lady Plainsmen center Shania Metcalf softly rolled down an eight-foot jump shot in the third quarter and along with Jessi Hoffert, finished with six points.PC 34, CC 30Perkins Co. 7 10 11 6—34Chase Co. 14 10 4 2—30 Scoring leaders—Perkins County: Ross 3FG 2/2FT—8; Humphrey 4 4/8—12; Hoffert, J. 3—6; Metcalf 3 0/2—6; Chase County: Sorenson 3—6; Spady 3—6; Fisher 2—4; Bartels (1[x3]) 1/2—4; Bubak 1 2/2—4.

The Musclecar Returns!Written by on July 7, 2003 Contributors: The Manufacturers Detroit's big three automakers have seen the future, and it brings powerful V-8s, rear-wheel drive, and loads of fun.
The 1960s are etched into many peoples' minds as the good old days of musclecar performance. Everyone has a favorite car from that era, when it seemed performance cars were at their quarter-mile peak. General Motors, Ford, and Chrysler for their part, seemed in the mist of an epic contest to be top dog, with ever increasing displacements, and horsepower numbers that seemed to have no limit. It finally took the 1-2 punches of the insurance industry and environmental regulations kill off the muscle race.
Fast forward to 2003, and suddenly, it seems RWD is poised to make a comeback. All three big automakers are moving to RWD for volume, mainstream cars. Why? Driver's cars are back, and people are willing to spend to get them. Cars from Lexus, Infinity, BMW and Mercedes (all of which have starting prices in the $30k range) are getting the nod from discriminating buyers. Suddenly, paying $30k for that FWD V-6 Pontiac Bonneville or Chrysler 300M doesn't seem like such a great idea.
From a technical standpoint, there are very real limits to FWD. Even with traction control, torque management, and all-season tires, you can't break the laws of physics. Accelerate hard, and all the weight shifts rearward, whether your drive tires are back there or not. Take a corner hard enough to induce oversteer and you're going to have a rough go at trying to prevent a spinout. This goes for dry, wet, as well as snow-covered pavement. It seems that automakers have come to grips with this, especially since the buying public is voting with its pocketbook. FWD sports sedans just aren't taken seriously once the $30,000 barrier is passed.
The good news is American musclecars are returning. Within the next four years, each of the big three should have a RWD-based V-8 on the market. While work is progressing on new RWD cars, all three companies now also have performance divisions whose main job is to create some insanely quick versions of cars in their respective camps. Chrysler's PVO, GM's Performance Division, and the veteran, Ford's SVT, are hard at work tuning some of the fastest cars ever made in the US. The following is a combination of facts and speculations, as well as some insider info from anonymous internal sources. So, lets start the tour.
Ford's SVT team was recently adsorbed into Ford Performance Group (FPG). In spite of a few negative naysayers claiming the ruination of performance at Ford, SVT is a very profitable organization that has created some very memorable cars, including the world's fastest pickup truck, the world's quickest car under $55,000, and the-soon-to-be-Viper-eating Ford GT 40.
The purpose of SVT going under FPG is to create an even better organization geared towards providing performance cars, parts and services. This will include not only vehicles built with the SVT label (exclusive to only to the Ford brand), but also Ford Racing Technology (previously SVO), the vehicle personalization organization (the factory aftermarket to us), and Ford's special edition cars, such as the Mach 1 and Marauder for example. Rest assured, SVT is intact, and in the words of Ford's SVT boss, John Coletti, ready to "kick ass!"
Continuous improvement is SVT's mantra. Every new model will be better than the one it replaces. Even though there will be no new Camaro across the street, it seems the next Cobra will be an even better car than the current one. There is a hint the next Cobra will be a bit of a surprise, but we'll have to wait and see how big of a surprise it will be. Our money is on a 500hp, DOHC V-8 aided by Ford's new "Super Cooler" technology. This creative intercooling system--developed by Coletti--uses the car's own air conditioning system for short blasts (up to 30 seconds or so) to chill the intake charge for a boost of up to 50hp.
A little Trivia note: When the current Mustang Cobra was under development, its code name was "Terminator." Though it looked tough as the central character of the movie of the same name, there is another reason why it was so named. It was to "terminate" all discussion as to which car was quicker, the LS1 F-body, or Ford Mustang Cobra. Had Camaro continued another year, it's no doubt this mission would have been accomplished.
The biggest news is the upcoming version of America's only remaining pony car. Though the common thread at Ford is that they are sorry to see it go, Mustang is by no means going to rest on its laurels. The next Mustang, displayed in concept form earlier this year, is still on schedule as of this writing. Initially, Mustang was to have been based completely on Lincoln's DEW chassis, but there have now been changes to the Mustang to ensure its affordability. The most newsworthy item is the rear axle (on certain models) will likely be solid rather than independently-suspended, both to lower production costs and as a nod to drag racing. Externally, Mustang will look much like the concept on display on the auto show circuit earlier this year.
Ford is evaluating the Australian Falcon for sale here in the US. However, squashing rumors from the start, Ford will not likely be importing the Falcon from Australia. Australia's car market makes up just over a half a percent of the world's car market. With the first three months of Falcons sold before production even started, and the Falcon line quickly becoming a success on the market, Ford's plant will be operating at capacity just to keep the Australian market supplied. But don't think that Ford isn't interested in making a version of the Falcon or Fairmont here. Ford commissioned a study late last year, and this past spring was examining a business case for US production. Everyone from J. Mays to CEO Bill Ford himself spent quality time with an Australian Fairmont Ghia V-8 brought over for evaluation, and possibly other versions of the newly released "BA" chassis as well. Ford is interested in developing a common car for both here and the land down under, and it's possible the Mustang's modified DEW chassis will be underneath them.
With the Crown Victoria and Mercury Grand Marquis due for a remake in the next few years, it's possible one or both may be replaced by a derivative of the Fairlane. It's possible, however, the Town Car version of the "panther" chassis may continue with yet another reskining. Though the 427 was primarily a styling exercise, many of its themes are likely to end up on a future Ford, most likely the replacement to the Crown Victoria.
One thing's for sure, the Ford 427's styling cues are right on time with its upright, powerful visual mass. Other manufacturers are in lockstep with this design philosophy as many concepts these days are moving away from soft, melted candy designs and towards themes of mass and power.
The Mercury Messenger is yet another hint at the possible direction Ford might take. There's a lot of discussion these days about the future performance role Mercury might play, if any. With the Marauder on the outs, the winged division may be looking for another direction and the Messenger just might be a sign of things to come. We think the Messenger is the perfect start for a new Cougar, however, not much is known about the future of the two-seat sports coupe. Based on the Mustang chassis and possessing classic fastback styling, J. Mays said earlier this year that the design still needed "a lot of work." One could translate that to mean "don't expect to see it for a few years." Remember, on a fully developed chassis, it would have little difficulty making it to market.
You can't talk about the future of affordable rear-drive performance without mentioning Australia's Holden division of GM. There is a very real reason for saying this, which we'll mention in a moment. GM is an extremely active place of late. They are busy reengineering pretty much everything they make, from improving quality and dependability, to creating entirely new powertrains, and even moving ahead quickly with fuel cell technology. It may not sound like GM has much left over for affordable performance cars, and since modestly priced RWD performance cars aren't exactly high volume profit generators it doesn't help matters.
This is where Holden comes in. By now you may have heard some variation of a story that says Holden is designing the RWD chassis that future GM cars will use worldwide. However, there's more to the story.
Holden is designing the chassis and structure, and will likely invest in an existing US GM factory and refurbish it to be flexible enough to make a variety of vehicles on the same line (much like its own factory in Australia). The plan is to produce a number of variations of cars, which will be marketed under Buick, Pontiac, and Chevrolet nameplates. In short, it will be the same concept as the new GTO, but will instead be made here at a single plant in greater numbers and variations.
Our sources tell us there is a combined GM-North America and GM-Holden team charged with creating business cases for individual models Holden hopes to produce. GM has already announced plans to produce new transmissions and powerplants for large and performance RWD cars by the 2007 model year. Talk about subtle hints!
In light of the fact GM hasn't produced the Camaro and Firebird in a year, it may seem laughable to some people that GM claims to be in the affordable performance car biz, but performance isn't actually dead at GM. In many ways, GM just might actually end up with the widest range of hot performance cars of all the big three.
The new GTO is a great example. Although derided by some purists on its styling, the 2004 GTO will without a doubt be the quickest ever, and by no small margin. With 0-60 times well under 5.9 seconds and a top speed of at least 160, it's no doubt this Holden-based GTO has the spirit (if not the looks) of past GTOs. In 2005, it will be even quicker with a new V-8 that will push over 400hp. The GTO project was handed to Holden with a simple mandate, meet US regulations, and be ready by the 2004 model year. The deadline left no time to do more cosmetically than design a new nose. In 2005, in addition to more power, expect hood scoops and other tasty cosmetic additions. However, in 2006/2007 the GTO will in fact sport a new skin and a new chassis, and is likely be assembled in what could be called GM-Holden's US factory.
On a related note, the Australian Holden Ute is rumored to be a favorite of GM product boss Bob Lutz. Were it not for a federally-imposed 25 percent tariff on imported trucks, a Ute-based El Camino may have been available in the US even before the GTO, due to its different fuel tank location and separate US regulations as a truck. Nevertheless, El Camino is extremely likely to return to Chevrolet as a locally-made vehicle within a few years.
Mid-sized GM passenger cars may not be so lucky. About 10 years ago, GM-North America conducted an evaluation on a Holden sedan with the intent to market it here as a Buick. The Holden Statesman is a lengthened luxury version of what is internally a Commodore, and in upcoming reengineered form, is also a contender to become GM's new line of full-sized RWD cars. Rumor had been rampant about Impala and Grand Prix going to RWD, however, the recent sales surge of Impala, the redesign of the Grand Prix, and the next FWD "mid-lux" Regal seems to make those cars unlikely RWD candidates in 2007. Instead, Buick, Chevrolet, and Pontiac may create an entirely new RWD sedan line with entirely different names and identities from existing models. The mid-lux cars may eventually also move to RWD, but not till late decade at the earliest.
Even this scenario is subject to change. With the recent introduction (and subsequent widespread praise) of the Chevy SS concept, the spotlight is once again on practical performance. While it's unlikely that such a car would be built off a Corvette chassis (especially with prior generation Corvette suspension pieces), a longer wheelbase variant built off the aforementioned Holden/GM venture is plausible. In any event, many design elements of the SS will likely show up on an upcoming Chevrolet sedan, coupe, or sportscar.
The future of smaller RWD performance cars is somewhat more certain. GM has given the go-ahead to develop a low-cost sportscar chassis, principally to support the Pontiac Solstice, but it must also share architecture with Buick and Saturn to justify the investment. This car will have independent rear suspension and a stiff performance-oriented chassis that's relatively lightweight and low-cost. It's speculated that if Camaro does return, by sharing it's chassis and components with another carline (such as Solstice), its financial case is significantly improved.
As for Camaro, the only thing that's known is that it will be back. Most guesses expect Camaro to return in time for it's 40th anniversary (much like the GTO) for the 2007 model year. How about the chassis? That may be the easy part. GM will have three available. The new Holden VE, the Cadillac sigma, and the Solstice all qualify. Since it would be extremely expensive to develop a Camaro-specific chassis (which would likely end its affordability), a safe bet would be one of these three choices.
Chrysler seems to have a lot going for it on the RWD and performance fronts. They will be--by at least two years--the first American carmaker to return to volume RWD production. Daimler Chrysler recently assembled the Performance Vehicle Organization (PVO), which will handle the development of Chrysler's High performance line, and the new Magnum Hemi engine will power at least two versions of Chrysler's new rear-drive LX cars.
The opening LX salvo in this profusion of Mopar muscle comes in the form of the Chrysler 300C, revealed recently at the 2003 New York International Auto Show. This will be the first significant car engineered since the Daimler-Chrysler merger. It will also stand as the first new high-volume RWD car from any of the big three in years, and the only one not primarily marketed to police departments, taxi companies, or retirees. Dodge's variant of the LX will be to market a little late due to last minute design changes. The muscular Magnum SRT-8 concept seems to be still on schedule, and rumors persist of a new LX-based coupe to be introduced within a few years.
The SUV-wanna-be Pacifica notwithstanding, the Magnum SRT-8 and Chrysler 300C are only the first RWD cars to be built off the LX platform. The biggest hint of what Mopar enthusiasts can expect came four years ago when Daimler Chrysler execs coyly hinted that its entrance into NASCAR signaled a move to "build what they race," meaning RWD passenger cars. Industry experts saw this as more than a sideways jab at Ford and GM, coming nearly simultaneous with the revelation of a jaw-dropping V-8-powered RWD Dodge Charger concept car.
Ever since the '99 Charger concept, rumor has persisted that the Charger--or something like it--would eventually make production. The likelihood of this seems even better now, as four years have passed and the buzz surrounding the concept absolutely refuses to die. (Mattel continues to build the briskly-selling Charger concept Hotwheel model as fast as it can, and by all accounts Malaysian factory workers are tiring of it.)
Will a V-8-powered Charger sedan get the nod? That's an interesting proposition. With traditional Pontiac enthusiasts irrationally assailing the new GTO, it's entirely possible that a Charger-inspired production car may actually carry the Intrepid banner, the current version itself a beautiful (if not powerful) sedan. This lesson will not likely be lost on Chrysler execs and brand types. It seems enthusiast consumers are acutely sensitive to a model's adherence to heritage cues, meaning in this case the number of doors. It's a coin toss. If Charger is lucky enough to end up a coupe, it will likely be called Charger. If not, our money's on the Intrepid label.
A better question might be, "does anyone care what Chrysler calls it?" We say, sell the car without a badge and let the owners name it.
Overall, there are lots of good things coming out of GM, Ford and Chrysler. It's nearly certain that in four year's time, all three will offer hot RWD V-8-powered uber-musclecars. By most indications, cover charge for the more potent of this new breed of rear-drive, high-performance hardware will be above $30,000. (The new Mustang GT will be the possible exception.) Pontiac's Solstice and its platform-mates will come in around the mid-20s, but performance will be a tad off the big dog musclecars, largely due to a lack of V-8 power and the inability of such a Miata-sized platform to handle large amounts of torque.
All speculation aside, we are living in perhaps the most prolific of performance times. The recent loss of the Camaro and Firebird notwithstanding, there is an abundance of Detroit iron already out there--or shortly to be--pounding the streets. On the high end we have the Z06 Corvette, Cadillac CTSv and XLR, the Dodge Viper and Magnum SRT-10 Ram, and the top dog of them all, the Ford GT 40. The middle ground is held solidly by Pontiac's GTO, Chrysler's 300C Hemi, Ford's Mustang GT, Cobra Mustang, and the Lightning pick-up.
For argument's sake, if you throw the affordable (under $20k) FWD performers into the scrap, you can even count the hot little Dodge SRT-4, the Ford Focus SVT and Saturn's Redline Ion tuner coupe. Certainly, the fastest of the group--the $19,995 SRT-4--can hold itself against the likes of the Mustang GT. (Which begs the question, when it comes to making copious quantities of tire smoke, does it really matter which end of the car it comes from?)
Take a good look at the list above. Any one of them could spank all but the most hyperactive Hemis or big-blocks from the '60s. When you consider the added handling, safety, economy, reliability and inflation-adjusted cost to the mix, there is simply no comparison. Are Detroit musclecars dead? Not by a long shot, pal. Things are just getting started...

Don't worry though, we have a lot more Road Tubular Tires in stock than that.View Similar Products
Vittoria Corsa Evo CX Tire - Tubular $0.00
The king of tubular tires, the Vittoria Corsa Evo CX, now comes with an unbelievable 320 TPI Corespun K casing made from alternating Polycotton and Kevlar threads. More TPI means a more supple ride, no matter what PSI you prefer. Vittoria's Compressed Wrap makes use of the highest grade of Corespun casing cord and rubber compounds, resulting in a casing that allows the Polycotton and Kevlar threads to act independently, which reduces surface deflection and rolling resistance while maximizing puncture resistance.
The victory list of the Corsa CX is spectacular, and folks who choose to race on tubies demand the CX more than any other tire we sell. Its herringbone tread pattern provides an ideal combination of traction and low rolling resistance thanks to its Twin Tread Technology where harder tread is placed in the center of the tire where the wear occurs, and a softer compound is used on the shoulder for better grip. A thin, lightweight PRB puncture resistant belt is placed immediately beneath the tread to achieve maximum puncture protection while maintaining low rolling resistance. A latex inner tube further adds to the puncture resistance and also lessens the rolling resistance over butyl rubber tubes. The tread is built with a silica enhanced Kevlar Carbon 3D SiO2 compound to give their tires longer wear life and supreme grip. It's available in 700x21c and 700x23c sizes and has a 42mm presta valve.
- Corespun 320 TPI casing construction makes for an exceptionally lightweight, flexible tire KEVLAR® SiO2 3D compound enhances grip and reduces rolling resistance
- Puncture Resistant Belting (PRB 2.0) protects your tire from flats
- Hard tread on the bottom and softer compound on sidewalls gives unparalleled cornering grip without sacrificing durability
- Max psi of 200

Brilliant Tubulars
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I got these (21mm) when they were 50% off which makes them an absolutely killer deal. I do about 40 miles a day on them and they have held up for the last 600 miles. The grip and ride with these is phenomenal - just remember to run the pressures pretty low (70-90psi) and it will iron out most vibrations of a chip seal surface. Highly recommended, although they do seem to get small cuts quite easily.

Are Vittoria tires known to run narrower or wider than their listed widths?
like butter.
miles per dollar or dollars per mile?
Highly recommend VIT0069 with these tires. VIT0069 make the tires set up with deep dish wheels super easy. No valve games & sealant refills are also a cinch. http://www.realcyclist.com/vittoria-removable-tubular-valve-pair
Vittoria Exo Corsa CX
These tubulars are awesome! It is like being glued to the road when railing corners, and feel super-fast too! Can't recommend them enough.
fast and no fears
when is come to rain days, this is the best tire you can use, you can turn and sprint with no fear, and in the dry days too, so you no need to change tires any more
Best rain tires
There are a lot of factors when it comes to tires. These tires meet all the criteria. They're sticky and super fast at the same time. But what sets these tires apart is their reliability on wet roads. I know these tires will keep me upright in the rain. Period.
How these are made
Good video about tubies
Do these have removable valve cores so...
Do these have removable valve cores so sealant can be used with them?
I think the older ones do, if the valve is the brass colour. If the valve is red, I believe they are not removable. You can contact one of the tech gurus and they will give you the info you need.
These are a very high-end race tubular, so I would not be inclined to put sealant in these, they are meant to stay as light as possible to limit resistance.
These do not have removable valve cores, but the ENTIRE VALVE is removable from the tire. To add sealant, have the tire off the rim, and remove the red valve completely from the tire. Super easy, and easy to replace the valve if you break it!
I've been told to get these in 700 X 20....
I've been told to get these in 700 X 20. Is that one of your options?
We have 21's but no 20's, 28x21 is the same size as 700x21.
Are these good for everyday usage?
Are these good for everyday usage?
Sure! Why not? It's a little more expensive than other options, but you'll have a great ride!
I use them every weekday about 20-25 miles on my Zipps.
Vittoria Corsa Evo CX
Bought the Corsa Evo CX from Real Cyclist and it was at my door in Boulder a couple days later. Glued em on and raced in them the next week in a 70.3. Great tires and great service from Real Cyclists.

Well today is the "superbowl" of the NASCAR season. We have seen an increase in violations this year, and that is just to get in the race. Of all the races, starting position doesn't mean as much in a restrictor plate race.
Who is your favorite racer, and who do you think will win?
I am a Junior fan, yes this is the popular choice, I followed his dad and continued the legacy.
I predict Stewart to have a good race with Gilliland being the wild card.
I hope for a safe race without the "big one".
I don't know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everyone.
I know it is wrong but the only reason I will even watch a nascar race is for the crashes =/
just watch them on sportscenter later, save yourself 4 hours of agony.
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety. - Benjamin Franklin 1775
I never meant to come off as I would watch a entire race that has never happened before and won't happen anytime in the near future.
I guess unless ISU starts participating in racing lol
How's the son of that dead guy doing? Doesn't Gordan still win everything?
There, that oughtta liven up this thread ...
I respect the fact that you don't like NASCAR. What is it about the title Daytona 500, or off topic that got you confused? There are fans that I was trying to invoke a serious discussion.

haven't we had enough about stereotypes this past week?
God, I can't think of the guys name, he drives the 48 car.... Is it Jimmy Johnson? I like watching him, and the Busch brothers. I'd also be very surprised if we don't see "a big one" in a restrictor plate race though. Although, this isn't the Talladega? race...
"Seven minutes to glory."
At least spend time watching more exciting racing like F1 or rally. Nascar is just so boring. I would rather watch baseball, golf, or god forbid, soccer.
Demolition Derby man that is where it is at

You make it sound like those sports aren't fun to watch... I watch all of them... World Cup this summer was amazing to watch. All you need to make watching golf fun, is a case of beer, 2 cases for Baseball, and a bottle of Whiskey for car racing.
My best memories in my life are watching NASCAR with my father. In 98 when Dale finally won the 500 that was something special. Now that both Dale and my father are gone I have been away from NASCAR for some years now. This is the first time in my life that I have a job that I have the weekends off so I'm gonna try and get back into this.
Jr. is by far my favorite. I think however that we may see Stewart take the win.
No matter what some people think of the sport, I will be watching every second of pre-race coverage and every second of every lap that I can. Yes I'm a NASCAR fan!
I've become a big fan over the past 2 years. I went to the race in Kansas City last year and watching it live is even better.
People say that you really need to have a driver you root for to get into it and Tony Stewart is mine.
I'm really looking forward to it today.
I can't wait until NASCAR and open-wheel racing come to the Iowa Speedway this summer. I get to de-virginize my girlfriend to racing!
