New Jersey Governor, Chris Christie was in Sioux City afternoon campaigning for Republican Congressman Steve King. King was not at his fundraiser as he had returned to Washington to fight for passage of a farm bill. Christie told supporters he had the Congressman's back, while King was in Washington.

(Ames) -- Democratic Congressional candidate, Christie Vilsack is criticizing Congressman Steve King for leaving unfinished business until after the election. Vilsack, who is seeking to unseat King in the new Iowa 4th District says Congressman King remains unwilling to work in the best interest of Iowans. She says if King was serious about passing a Farm Bill and supporting the rural economy, he would do the right thing and vote against allowing adjournment. Vilsack says "Congressman King's actions today are a reflection of his ten years in office. He has had ten years to stand up for the best interests of Iowa, but he has chosen not to."

Authorities Find Marijuana In Storage Unit
JOHNSTON, Iowa (AP) - Court records say an unpaid storage bill led investigators to a suburban Des Moines home and the hundreds of marijuana plants inside.
The records say the storage locker manager found gear used for growing marijuana inside the storage locker in November 2010. Detectives traced names on the unit lease to a man linked by
utility bills to the house in Johnston that was raided Wednesday.
The hundreds of plants ranged from seedlings to specimens up to 6 feet tall. Officers also seized more items from a house down the street.
A man at the first house was arrested. He was identified as Timothy Lantz, who was charged with manufacturing a controlled substance.
BASF Acquires Becker-Underwood
AMES, Iowa (AP) - German-based chemical maker BASF had made a deal to buy Ames-based Becker Underwood, which makes seed treatment and other farm products.
BASF says the purchase price is $1.02 billion.
BASF is based in Ludwigshafen, Germany, and produces chemicals and plastics as well oil and gas and agricultural herbicides and fertilizers.
BASF spokeswoman Anne Burt says final decisions haven't been made about the future of Becker Underwood's chief executive officer, Peter Innes, other managers or other workers.
Becker has more than 210 employees in Ames; St. Joseph, Mo.; and Caldwell, Idaho; and nearly 270 more in several other countries.
Becker Underwood was formed in 1982 by Jeff Becker and Roger Underwood. They sold controlling interest to Norwest Equity Partners of Minneapolis in 2004.
Man Sentenced To Prison After Burning Women's Clinic
DAVENPORT, Iowa (AP) - A man who tried to burn down an Iowa women's health clinic that he mistakenly thought performed abortions has been sent back to prison after violating the terms of
his supervised release.
U.S. District Judge John Jarvey sentenced David McMenemy to 3 months in prison this week.
Federal probation officials say McMenemy failed to follow instructions or submit monthly reports and left their area without permission. McMenemy was arrested in Fraser, Mich., last month.
McMenemy pleaded guilty in 2007 to arson and sentenced to 5 years in prison and 3 on supervised release for his attack on the Edgerton Women's Health Care Center in Davenport. He crashed his
car into the lobby and lit a gasoline-filled bottle on fire.
The clinic doesn't perform abortions or make abortion referrals.
Rural Economy Shows Weakness
OMAHA, Neb. (AP) - The economy in rural parts of 10 Midwest and Western states continued to look weak in September as the drought weighed down agricultural businesses.
A new survey of bankers in the region released Thursday showed that the overall economic index remained in negative territory at 48.3 in September.
That was slightly better than August's 47.1 and July's 47.9, but any score below 50 on the 1-to-100 index suggests that the economy will contract in months ahead.
Creighton University economist Ernie Goss in Omaha says the drought is already hurting businesses linked to agriculture like ethanol and farm equipment dealers.
The survey covers rural areas of the Dakotas, Wyoming, Nebraska, Iowa, Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, and Minnesota.
The confidence index was also weak at 43 in September, up from August's 39.6.

Civic Si: Performance Market Favorite Back In Honda Model Lineup
The return of the legendary Si model to the Honda Civic lineup in early 2002 brings an icon back to the small car performance segment. The Civic Si Hatchback breaks new ground in high performance, advanced engineering, safety, functionality and style.
Equipped with an all-new version of Honda's highly acclaimed VTEC engine, the Si's 2.0-liter, DOHC, i-VTEC produces 160-horsepower and 130-ft lbs of torque in a lightweight, environmentally friendly package. What distinguishes i-VTEC from Honda's previous VTEC system is the addition of a new VTC (Variable Timing Control) system that continuously adjusts the intake camshaft phase according to the engine load. The "i" stands for Intelligent.
This new system allows for low fuel consumption, low emissions and maximum torque at all engine speeds. The 130-ft lbs of torque produced by the new engine provides the widest power range and most linear power band ever for a Civic. A close ratio 5-speed manual transmission allows the driver to maximize the increased horsepower and torque for outstanding performance driving.
The Civic Si will feature firmer dampers and springs than other Civic models. Substantial front and rear stabilizer bars give the Si added tautness and precision. Large diameter disc brakes up front and new rear disc brakes complement larger wheels and tires all around to maximize the vehicle's performance instinct.
The three-door hatchback is an entirely new configuration for the seventh generation Civic and will be offered in the U.S. only as the Si. Its sporty styling, compact exterior dimensions and large interior dimensions will appeal to younger buyers. The high-curvature rear end and functional tailgate allow for maximum utilization of space and easy loading and unloading. Along with aerodynamic enhancements, the mesh-type front grille and rear roof spoiler further accent the performance character of the Si. Si badging will be featured inside and out.
The Civic Si boasts an interior with a sporty, high quality feel, excellent visibility, smart control placement and highly supportive sport seats with red stitching. The unique rally-inspired center-mounted dash shifter rests within close proximity of the steering wheel for quick shifts and a sporty feel. Interior enhancements include performance oriented seats with Si badging, white gauges and a 60:40 split rear seat that folds straight down onto the seat base to create a flat load floor.

Semper Fi: 'Once a Marine, always a Marine'
Kearns, 88, and Callahan, 85, have plenty of stories to swap in the library at Bentley Commons at Bedford, where both are residents. Like 23,000 other American women, both answered the call to serve during World War II by joining the Marines as part of the "Free a man to fight overseas" campaign.
For Veterans Day, both will spend time recalling their military service, while pausing to honor the sacrifices made by veterans throughout America's history.
"When the war happened, I wanted to do something more for our country, for our freedom," said Kearns, who served in the Marines for 27 years. "I wanted to be on the good side. Once I got into it, I wanted to do more and more."
"I loved it until I retired, after 13 years with them," said Callahan. "It was a great experience. Not easy, but a worthy job, an important job."
On Feb. 13, 1943, Gen. Thomas Holcomb, the 17th commandant of the Marine Corps, announced the formation of the Marine Corps Women's Reserve. More than 22,000 women joined the Corps during World War II as part of the Women's Reserve, performing more than 200 military assignments. In addition to clerical work, they also filled many other positions, including as parachute riggers, mechanics, radio operators, mapmakers and welders. By June 1944, women reservists made up 85 percent of the enlisted personnel on duty at Marine Corps Headquarters, and almost two-thirds of the personnel manning all major posts and stations in the United States and Hawaii. At the end of WWII, Gen. Alexander A. Vandegrift, 18th commandant of the Marine Corps, credited the women Corps Reservists with "putting the 6th Marine Division in the field."
After Japan surrendered, the Women's Reserve was quickly demobilized, with only 1,000 remaining in its ranks by July of 1946. Congress then passed the Women's Armed Services Integration Act, authorizing the acceptance of women into the regular component of the Marine Corps and other branches of the Armed Services.
Callahan said she was looking to add some excitement to her life when she signed up.
"I was working in Boston, bored to death," said Callahan. "One day I got off the street car to go to work, and when I stepped off the curb there was a sign that said, 'Join the Marines'. A light went off in my head, and it went off with a bang. I enlisted, and I went through boot camp at Parris Island."
Callahan said her basic training experience was different than the rigorous one that combat Marines go through.
"It was tapered down," said Callahan. "I remember my mother saying she could never believe that I went through the shower in five minutes and was out in time to line up in front of everybody."
Kearns said she signed up because she wanted to help her country - and was surprised to see how many other women did the same.
"There were quite a few women in it, replacing men," said Kearns. "That was a tough thing to do, but we did it and we did it gladly, because we knew we were performing a service. We did the best we could, and came out with flying colors. Everyone pitched in, and did what they had to do. I was proud of them then and still am."
Kearns said she frequently worked with injured troops just back from the front lines of the war.
"I had an administrative job," said Kearns. "It was a desk job, but I worked with casualties also. We tried to help them out as much as we could to get them back into the fold. It was tough, because some of them lost limbs, lost eyesight, but we did everything we could to help them. I'm glad I was a part of that. It made me feel better than it did them. And it made me grow up faster than I would admit to at that time. Now I am really grown up, and I can't fight it anymore."
Callahan said she also held a secretarial job, eventually working her way to an assignment in the Pentagon.
"I was stationed at Parris Island, as secretary to the G1 of the post," said Callahan. "I was 26 years old, and at the end of my year there I went to Quantico with the college kids, passed, and was assigned to the Pentagon the year that the Marines got a seat on the Joint Chiefs of Staff. I was just several doors down from the Secretary of the Navy, and worked there for a year, then got a job in DC."
Kearns said she remembers the moment she heard the war as over, and that the Allies had prevailed.
"I was so happy, to see all our men coming back home," said Kearns. "I would go out to different hospitals in the DC area that had war veterans. They were in tough shape, and it broke my heart, but I just kept my cool and didn't let it show. I just said, 'I love you all for what you did for us'. To see them in that condition hurt me to the quick, but you don't show it. I always had two smiles for the men, and one for the women - I'm no dummy."
Today, 214,098 women serve in the U.S. military, representing 14.6 percent of total service members. Hundreds of female troops have received a Combat Action Badge, awarded for actively engaging with a hostile enemy.
Callahan said she didn't have an opinion on the possibility of women taking an active role in combat in today's military.
"I haven't given much thought to it," said Callahan. "The whole world has changed for me. I'm so detached from the military, what goes on today, I couldn't really comment on that. I just know I loved serving."
Kearns said she never encountered any instances of male soldiers not accepting either her or her fellow female Marines.
"Men were always so good to all of us, knowing at the beginning that we were so new to this life." said Kearns. "They were here to guide us, to help us, to teach us. They were such gentlemen to all of us. I went to school in Italy. I got quite an education, in more ways than one. Those Italian men - I tell you."

Jimmy Eat World Concert Tickets
Jimmy Eat World
The awkward syntax and name of this "emocore" band comes from the title of a child's crayon drawing (echoes of Badly Drawn Boy) and they have been on the up and up lately, garnering all manner of great reviews and drawing growing numbers of fans to buy Jimmy Eats World tickets. The band's debut Static Prevails was followed by Clarity, their second album but they were unexpectedly marginalised by executives at their record label. They didn't think Clarity would sell tickets to Jimmy Eats World concerts. As ever, the suits were wrong, and Jimmy Eats World tickets found more audiences swelling with greater numbers of converts, while the slow-witted execs unplugged the Old School tie from their ears and were forced to concede defeat - the full album was released to an adoring world, and 1999 was a good year for the band. Everyone wanted Jimmy Eats World concert tickets, and everybody was happy, for once.
Subsequent forays into the European market, and that with no label (the know-it-alls had dropped interest again) saw the band selling huge numbers of Jimmy Eat World tickets. Their albums began to churn out, every one a jewel, including one recorded with producer Gil Norton, who was successful with the Foo Fighters. Now, Jimmy Eats World tickets are recognized as a valuable commodity in the pop world, and I dare anybody to state otherwise! Buy Jimmy Eats World tour tickets and hear the talent in this very different band.

Pam Horn administers the flu vaccine to employee Michael Karolitzky at Philly Flu Shots on Thursday, Jan. 10, 2013, in Philadelphia. The flu season arrived early in the U.S. this year, but health officials and experts say it's too early to say this will be a bad one. Experts say evidence so far is pointing to a moderate flu season - it just looks worse because last year's season was so mild. Flu usually doesn't blanket the country until late January or February. Now, it's already widespread in more than 40 states. That could change when the next government report comes out Friday. (AP Photo/Matt Rourke)

Television teaches children the wrong things about violence. Adults know that real violence causes pain and sadness. But TV violence is often painless and sometimes funny.
FACT: By watching 3 to 4 hours of non-educational TV per day, children will have seen about 8,000 murders on TV by the time they finish elementary school!
FACT: TV characters often try to use violence to solve problems. Children need to learn how to solve problems in a nonviolent way.
FACT: Young children think cartoons are real, and many cartoons use larger-than-life violence just to keep children's interest.
Just like children learn from fathers and mothers, and sisters and brothers, they also learn both good and bad habits from TV characters. Some children learn to:
When you're watching a program that has violence, don't allow your child to watch it with you. If you want or need more help making decisions about your child and TV, please ask your pediatrician.

Had a sherwood Rona and a mares essence liquidskin that were all sorts of wrong so moving to the M-1 was great. This one just fits my face better, no leaks even if I have not shaved for a couple of days.

Not a ton of bells and whistles but a very solid wetsuit. Very comfortable,easy to get on and off. Relatively warm (only a 3mm). I will buy more wetsuits from xcel

I love the look, field of vision and volume of this mask but there are some issues that make it difficult to use. The silicone on this mask is very thin and the seams are rough. The skirt will not lay flat under the mask strap and this causes lots of h2o to get in. I have to clear it every 3-5 min. I have tried it tight and loose and it still leaks. I understand that it may not be the right mask for my face. My wife has a Tusa mask and the silicone is much better quality. I have spoken with several people who have used this mask and the best description of this mask I heard was that it is fickle, sometimes it is good but more often it is just ok.

WASHINGTON, DC (WUSA)--- Although the crowds at this year's inaugural ceremonies are expected to be less than half as large as four years ago, those making the trip here to see Barack Obama sworn in as President of the United States don't appear to be any less enthusiastic than they were four years ago.
"This is historic. The first one was historic, but him being reelected the second time confirmed that Americans are ready to move forward in terms of race and, me being an African-American, I'm more excited to see an African-American elected president," said Ebenezer Egyepong," of Baltimore.
"This is an other historic moment, we are watching history in the making. President Obama had so many b obstacles in getting re-elected, but he's here and I'm here to give support to let the people all over the country know that we are in support of President Obama, " said Dr. Gloria Morrow of California.
"I think he's smart. I think he's brilliant, and I think he will do a wonderful job. I think what he has already done is leading the way for what will happen," she said.
I am just overjoyed that we have our president back once again," said Mary Harris of Las Vegas.
Columbus, Ohio teacher Sarah Thronburg walked the mall Sunday with her husband and two children, the inauguration a family affair.
"We've been involved in both campaigns. My son Henry here, he canvassed in both campaigns, first when he was three and this time around, when he was seven, so this is kind of like the last hurrah for Obama so we thought we've got to come and see the fruits of our labor, here," she said.
"We thought it would be easier to get tickets this time, and we did get tickets up on the Capitol lawn," said her husband, Mike Rayo.
Traffic crawled in the area of the National Mall on Sunday, as the inaugural parade route was closed to traffic and workers scrambled to remove traffic signs and traffic lights while colleagues secured manhole covers in the streets as street sweepers cleaned up after them.

Clinical Practice Guidelines and Other Policy Statements
Clinical practice guidelines are important tools for improving practice. This approach, however, requires rigorous processes for guidelines development and assessment of available guidelines, as well as effective implementation of better-quality guidelines. A growing international movement is involved with assessing and improving the guidelines development process and promoting guidelines implementation. This page lists many key resources for this work, along with sources for access to guidelines relating to maternal and newborn care and health care generally.
"Online source" indicates that the resource is available online without charge. A cost-free registration may be required for access to some entries with this designation.

The Good Shepherd Institute has published The Gospel Preached Through Music: The Purpose and Practice of Lutheran Church Music by Dr. Daniel Zager, associate dean and head of the Sibley Music Library, and associate professor of Music, at the Eastman School of Music, Rochester, New York. The premise of the book revolves around Martin Luther's observation that God most certainly preaches the Gospel through music. "Without a sense of that high purpose for music in Lutheran worship, the practice of Lutheran church music is too often less than it could be, with the treasure of Lutheran music too frequently ignored, and the people deprived of singing and hearing what is an exceptional body of theologically rich music that proclaims the Word of God," explains Zager in the Introduction of the book.

Flying high - birds of prey taught how to spread their wings
01 January 2010 | Audio
Birds of prey which have always lived in captivity often don't have the opportunity or skills to fly. Jacques-Olivier Travers, from the bird of prey centre Les Aigles du Leman, in Haute Savoie in France, teaches birds at the centre how to use their wings and gain their freedom in the skies. When they're ready, he flies with them on a paraglider over the mountains of France, showing an extraordinary bond between man and beast. Here he talks about how he teaches the birds to become airborne.

|More wind and snow for Holyoke
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
While still recovering from the April 8 wind damage, Holyoke received another round of spring snowfall Monday, April 15. The town woke up Tuesday to find a fresh 2.1 inches of snow had been dumped on the town throughout the night.

Quicksilver Messenger Service is a psychedelic rock band that came together in 1965 in San Francisco. The band found fame with the hit single, "Fresh Air," which peaked at #49 on the Billboard Rock Singles Chart in 1970. Quicksilver Messenger Service built up a local following in the San Francisco Bay Area from playing local gigs. Around at the same time as contemporaries Jefferson Airplane and The Grateful Dead, Quicksilver were not as commercially successful or as well-known as the other two bands but were unique, in that they brought a jazz and classical element to their music with a folk background. Their unique sound helped them to stand apart from the other bands of their time. As ... Continue Bio >>

That essay, entitled "Resolved: Adaptation should be the most urgent response to climate change," scored well-enough to advance into the next round.
More than 210 teams from 30 countries submitted essays for the opening round.
In the next round, Jarvis, Kantor and Tarr will exchange a series of essays via email with a panel of judges in Colorado, arguing the merits of their paper. Those judges will review each of the essays from the remaining schools and narrow the field to 16 teams.
That process continues until 8 finalist teams are announced. Those last 8 teams will be flown on an all-expenses paid trip to the IPPF Finals in New York City in April 2013.
The Clayton High School team is the only team from Missouri to advance in this year's competition. The Top 32 teams represent schools in 18 states and seven foreign countries.
Each team will be awarded a cash prize for their efforts, with the grand prize winner earning $10,000 and the Bickel & Brewer Cup.

During routine inspections, Magellan pipeline workers discovered two small leaks Monday in an anhydrous ammonia pipeline in rural Humboldt County.
The pinhole-sized leaks were more than one mile apart. They were about one 1-1/2 and 3 miles from the city of Bradgate.
The company conducted air quality monitoring to assure the safety of nearby residents.
Monitoring results showed minimal releases of anhydrous to the atmosphere.
There was no impact to surface waters, although some contaminated soil must be land applied.
Magellan staff made temporary repairs to both leaks Monday night and early Tuesday. Work continued Tuesday to make permanent repairs.
The DNR is monitoring the situation.

Two simple solutions:
1.) Plastic bag of blood with a fine wire/string stuck to it. Thread the wire through the wound hole in the shirt/leg/buttocks of the clothes, and yank.
2.) Lightly compressed air with a blood hose. Indy Mogul's first Backyard FX episode has a great video on building this kind of rig: http://www.indymogul.com/backyardfx/episode/BFX_20070611

Topic: Postfix+Amavisd+Roundcube Whitelist addressbooks.
I am looking for a way to tell amavis/postfix to whitelist all address book addresses of users.
We have 400+ users. What i want to achieve is, when a user adds and email address to their address book amavis/postfix would white list it automatically.
This would be a great integration if not added already.
Thanks in advanced.

AMC V8 Block Engine - Identity CrisisWritten by on January 1, 2005 Contributors: Ken Lazzeri A Small-Block That Thinks It's A Big-Block?
AMC motors have always been stuck in an alternate universe by virtue of their physical stature. The 290 V-8 is externally the same size as the 390 and a full 100 ci smaller. Even the 401 shares the same external dimensions; so are they small-blocks or big-blocks? To confuse matters even more, Indy Cylinder Head, makers of all things Mopar, just released a new AMC block carved out of aluminum, able to support a whole lot of cubes.
We followed along as Indy and Payton's Performance screwed together the ultimate bracket bomber 500-inch (yes, we said 500-inch) AMC V-8 for Mr. J.T. Payton, an AMC junkie from way back when. So what is it, a small-block or a big-block? We can tell you that with a pair of Indy's own aluminum AMC cylinder heads, this engine made big-block power at big-block rpm levels-840 horses to be exact, at only 7,200 rpm (right now you big-block guys are screaming foul, but in racing terms, this is low-rpm). If that wasn't enough, the engine weighs a light-by-small-block-standards 450 pounds completely dressed out! Chevy's own rat motor tips the scales at a portly 700 pounds. Show us a big-block that can make that claim!
Indy Cylinder Head, gurus of the big-inch Mopar, and Payton's Performance, gurus of American Motors products, put together an all-new AMC V-8. So is it a big-block or a small-block? You be the judge. Just remember, whatever it is, it's 100-percent bad-to-the-bone.
Who Is J.T. Payton?
J.T. Payton is an AMC nut stretching back to 1972. When he was young and on a limited budget (read: broke), he had to go the most economical route. through trial and error, he found that AMC engines were easy to keep together, as well as cheap to build. The high-nickel blocks of the 390s and 401s are tough and easy to weld if need be. Factory dog-leg cylinder heads flow better out of the box than most competitors, and if one used a closed-chamber 401 head on an earlier 343, and fly-cut the pistons for piston-to-valve clearance, they would have a low-dollar 12:1 engine. Because aftermarket parts were in limited production, the AMC rodder would have to make the factory pieces work. AMC spawned innovation.
J.T. is the proprietor of Paytons Performance, the one-stop Rambler shop known as the Mecca of AMC performance circles. J.T. also races a Gremlin. So far, with only limited tuning under its belt, he's managed a very promising 8.55 at 156 mph-in a Gremlin nonetheless! J.T.'s good buddy Bill Tichenor-marketing manager at Holley Performance Products and instigator of this engine buildup-also discovered at an early age the advantages of the AMC. As a high school student wanting a musclecar and on a high school student's budget, he found the path to American Motors, as they tended to be more affordable than more mainstream musclecars. Bill found a '69 AMX for chump-change and drove it daily.

Building Blocks
The time is right for all you AMC fanatics out there. The aftermarket that so deftly ignored you when AMCs were actually in production, is developing some state-of-the-art parts rivaling the quality of the highest-end speed equipment available for Brand-X. Indy Cylinder Head did the unexpected when they developed this aluminum AMC cylinder block. Two versions are available: standard AMC deck height and a 9.40-inch-tall deck version for long stroke capability. The all-new IC-401 AMC Maxx block has been graced with many oiling improvements over the stock AMC offerings, billet steel splayed main caps, valley cross braces, improved head bolt clamping (an extra row of head bolts were added to use with Indy's new AMC cylinder heads), interlocking high-nickel ductile iron sleeves, all weighing in at a svelte 115 pounds. Compatible with standard AMC heads, front covers, water and oil pumps, distributors, and bellhousings make the new Indy offering as comfortable on the race track as it is on the street. Ramblers never had it so good.The rotating assembly is the foundation of any motor, and this AMC was filled with some of the best parts known to the aftermarket. A Moldex 4340 4.150-inch stroke forged crank was chosen for its obvious strength, and Wiseco 4.375-bore forged flat-tops fill all eight holes, with a 1.115-inch compression height. The Wiseco pistons utilize a lightweight .927-inch Chevy wrist pin. Any reduction in the weight of the reciprocating assembly adds to less stress and more longevity. A Speed Pro 1/16 ring pack graces the Wiseco forged slugs utilizing a .022 top gap and a .026 second ring gap. GRP 2000-series aluminum rods measuring 6.200-inches center-to-center ride on Clevite CB663HD rod bearings. The GRP rods feature radial serrations that locate the cap in all directions, ensuring perfect alignment.The IC-401 block is fully prepped and ready for assembly. The final bore is 4.375, which is .210 bigger than a stock 401. The block weighs a miniscule 115 pounds! ARP head studs (PN 114-4203) ensure good, even clamping power across the board.The crankshaft is held in place with steel billet main caps, with splayed side studs and nuts. All main caps are doweled to the block to eliminate the possibility of cap walk.Comp Cams was chosen to supply the solid roller profile, Pacaloy valvesprings (PN 947-16) with 330 pounds of seat pressure, titanium retainers (PN 735), locks, seals (PN 506-16), and offset roller lifters (PN 892C-1) for this application. The cam features 281/292-degrees of duration at .050-inch valve lift, .748-inch lift on both the intake and exhaust side, ground on a 112-lobe separation angle (LSA). The .210 intake push rod offset helps straighten the pushrod angle.J.T. Payton of Payton's Performance and owner of this 500-inch aluminum AMC motor assisted with the assembly at Indy Cylinder Head. Here, he is degreeing the cam using the Milodon gear drive.A Milodon gear drive (PN 13700) was used to guarantee accurate timing events. No timing chain means no stretch or potentially hazardous slippage. The balancer (PN 918640) is by ATI and is SFI certified.Charlie's Oil Pan provided this trick custom aluminum dragster-style pan with a kick-out and starter pocket that uses an Indy #340 swinging pickup. The oil capacity is eight quarts. The Indy/Razor billet single-stage oil pump has an external pressure adjustment.
The single-stage oil pump takes oil from the pan (via a -12 AN line) and pumps it out to a remote filter. From the filter, the oil goes back into the block. Since the cam drives the distributor, and the distributor in turn drives the oil pump, an MSD small-block Chevy crank trigger kit was modified to fit the Indy AMC timing cover. Crank triggers ensure steady timing events.Indy's CNC-ported heads get five-axis porting. The process takes four hours per head, but the end result is every port has uniform shape and size.Indy's new 401-1 CNC cylinder heads are a work of art, featuring 300cc intake runners, that reportedly flow 390/282-cfm on the intake and exhaust respectively! Stock AMC "dog-leg" heads have roughly 166cc intake ports. With a 58cc combustion chamber, a flat-top piston will get you up over 14:1 compression. Indy o-ringed the heads, and fitted them with Manley 2.25/1.81 intake/exhaust valves. Indy built their heads so that they have six bolts per cylinder. The 401-1 is essentially a big-block cylinder head for a small-block, and at 300 cc, nearly perfect for a bracket racing engine in the 470 to 500ci range.The outboard 7/16 head stud bosses are for use with the IC-401 Maxx block that has been equipped with six bolts per cylinder. On the exhaust side, Indy used a Chrysler 440 pattern to space and help cool the center exhaust ports.Jesel's state-of-the-art shaft-mounted roller rockers (PN KCS-22044) were used in a 1.7:1 ratio. The trick sheetmetal valve covers are made by Indy (PN 401-8).The Jesel mounting bar uses eleven 7/16-inch mounting bolts. Combined with Indy's own 3/8-inch diameter pushrods (PN 401-9) and Comp's offset roller lifters, the end result is one bulletproof valvetrain. Here, J.T. is lashing the valves on his monster Rambler motor.The ignition system on the 500-inch AMC is all MSD, featuring a Pro Billet distributor (PN 8519), crank trigger (PN 8600), and plug wires (PN 31189). Indy made the custom crank trigger bracket that adapts the small-block Chevy crank trigger to the AMC timing cover.Making over 800 hp requires a pretty serious induction. Indy stepped up with this new 401-2 high-rise, single-plane, single-quad intake manifold, using a 440-2A Dominator adapter. The intake is fully ported and polished for maximum performance. The Holley 1150 Dominator is from their new Ultra-series featuring billet metering blocks, and a big site glass to set the float level with accuracy.So there you have it. Is it a 290? 343? Nope, 500 inches of aluminum small-block knocking out a reliable 840 hp and a very un-small-block-like 675 lb-ft of torque. The headers were made from a Hooker weld-up kit (PN 2957HKR) for a big-block Chevy. Indy supplied the flanges and the primary tube size is 2 1/4 inch.

LITCHFIELD, Ill. - Teachers in Litchfield, Illinois have ratified the new two year contract that was tentatively agreed to following a Litchfield Board of Education meeting Monday evening.
The new contract includes a one percent increase in salary for the 2013-2014 school year, and a pre-retirement benefit reduction from 4 years at 6 percent to 4 years and 3 percent in the next school year.
"These were difficult negotiations, but in the end, the Board and LEA were able to find an acceptable compromise," said Superintendent Chad Allison. "We are very excited to be able to continue with the second semester uninterrupted. We truly appreciate the willingness of our teachers to work with us to make some long-term commitments to stabilize the district's fiscal health during these very difficult times."

Tim Credeur (12-4 MMA, 3-2 UFC) has been forced out of this month's UFC 137 event, and promotional newcomer Dustin Jacoby (6-0 MMA, 0-0 UFC) has stepped in as a replacement against middleweight Brad Tavares (7-1 MMA, 2-1 UFC).
The fighter's reps alerted MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) of the switch overnight. Jacoby and his trainer, Marc Fiore, subsequently announced it via Twitter and Facebook.
UFC 137 takes place Oct. 29 at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas.
UFC officials haven't formally announced the change, and the reason for Credeur's removal wasn't immediately clear.
UFC 137's main card airs on pay-per-view, and though two bouts air as part of Spike TV's "UFC Prelims" special, Jacoby vs. Tavares is slated for the untelevised preliminary card.
Jacoby, 23, turned pro less than a year ago, and he's since posted six straight victories, all via stoppage (five via knockout). Five of the wins, including a recent 37-second TKO of M-1 vet Billy Horne (10-4), have come in the first round. The 6-foot-4 fighter is a former college football player.
Tavares, a semifinalist on "TUF 11," recently suffered his first career loss. The Xtreme Couture fighter opened his career with a 7-0 mark, which included UFC wins over Seth Baczynski and Phil Baroni. However, earlier this month at UFC 132, he suffered his first career defeat when Aaron Simpson bested him via lopsided unanimous decision.
The latest UFC 137 card includes:
MAIN CARD (Pay-per-view)
- Champ Georges St-Pierre vs. Carlos Condit (for UFC welterweight title)
- Nick Diaz vs. B.J. Penn
- Cheick Kongo vs. Matt Mitrione
- Mirko "Cro Cop" Filipovic vs. Roy Nelson
- Hatsu Hioki vs. George Roop
PRELIMINARY CARD (Spike TV)
- Donald Cerrone vs. Dennis Siver
- Tyson Griffin vs. Bart Palaszewski
- Dustin Jacoby vs. Brad Tavares*
- Jeff Curran vs. Scott Jorgensen
- Eliot Marshall vs. Brandon Vera
- Danny Downes vs. Ramsey Nijem
- Chris Camozzi vs. Francis Carmont
* – Not officially announced

Following in the footsteps of Gonzo + Richard, Gael Monfils and compatriot Gilles Simon shared their own intimate post-match moment after their fourth rounder was cut short in Oz.
The pair had split the first two sets and Sneaky Simon had just clinched the third set 6-1 when La Monf retired from the match with a right wrist injury.
At least these Frenchie ballers know the best cure for some really bad news: a little man-on-man action.
Trust me, it works every time.

Sucks La Monf had to retire but you gotta appreciate their Frenchie love - what a cute moment! Definitely a sign they are good buds if they meet & greet with bisous :)ReplyDelete
Keep the man-on-man action coming! ;)
I noticed the post match kisses, too! Quite cute, especially in the macho land down under.ReplyDelete
I'm rooting for Gilles!

In the second picture it looks like Gilles isn't interested.ReplyDelete
OH MY. Keep 'em comin' Rich!!ReplyDelete
Love that moment.
And only real men can kiss guys and be cool with it. ;-)
I lurved the kisses. More, I say, more!ReplyDelete

natch: Personally I would prefer a post-match jumping of Rafa's bones. Except it would be me doing the jumping, not Gilles (obvies). ;)ReplyDelete
*keeps on dreaming. sigh.*
I LOVE EUROPEAN MEN.ReplyDelete
Rich - what the HELL are you doing to my heart???!?!ReplyDelete
*clutches chest*
Now this got me thinking of a great scenario:ReplyDelete
You're playing against Rafa, it's a very hot day and you're both sweating real hard. Of course he wins, your tennis sucks compared to his. ;) But then, your stylish and sexy tennis skirt is compensating for that!
So you finally meet at the net, all out of breath, and you gasp: "I'm gonna want a rematch."
Rafa: "Are you sure you want me to kick your ass again?"
You: "What about grabbing my ass?"
So Rafa suddenly pulls you close and presses you up against him, giving you the most passionate kiss ever, his hands running through your hair and down your body...
Oh well you imagine the rest, haha!
Ah the anonymous who gave the link was me, sorry I forgot to give a name. Glad you enjoyed it :DReplyDelete
I took a video out of a French channel two days ago, and I think you might like it too. More kissing is on line, see here : http://fr.youtube.com/watch?v=dpj-Z-O2QM0
You should see their French interviews. I remember that before their match, Gaël said something along the lines of "we like each other very much so we're going to make the pleasure last as long as possible". He was talking about the match, obviously :D
Oh yeah, sorry about the crappy sound. I have no idea what happened :/ well the sound is not the most interesting part anyway ;)ReplyDelete
Babz, I know exactly how you feel.ReplyDelete
When I saw it live on screen I was like "Whoa!! Did I really just see this? Did this really happen?? OMFG!! So hot! I want pics! A replay! Anything!!"
And now my prayers have been heard! *remembers moment, heat rises*
Hey, what is it with straight girls loving man-on-man so freaking much?

Am I the weird in that I think Simon is kinda sexy? I think he looks like Robert Pattinson a little bit.ReplyDelete
so: Jaysus, I have to teach yoga in 20 minutes. How do you expect me to...uhm...*relieve* the tension you just built up? ;)ReplyDelete
Let me come up with a new scenario:
Rafa and natch (or Rich, jo, so, babz, any other takers?) on tennis court. Naked. No equipment. Just you, Rafa,...and the court.
Excuse me...
*takes ice cold shower*
I actually like Gilles. He's cute, quirky, very funny. Everything I like in a man. But he's playing Rafa, so I must remain focused on my voodoo doll.
*sticks in more pins*
- johanneJanuary 26, 2009 at 12:37 PM
anon: I think Gilles has one of the best smiles - he's totally adorable. And I love that he always seems to be having a great time on the court. So no, I don't think you're weird for thinking he's sexy :) But since he's playing Rafa, I have to cheer for my man..thems the rules!! :DReplyDelete
"Hey, what is it with straight girls loving man-on-man so freaking much?"ReplyDelete
I will adhere to my personal adage: hormones don't lie.
If it thrills you, don't ask. Just ride the wave, baby.

Anon you're not weird. I don't know what the hell is in the water but France produces beautiful men. Gilles Simon, Richard Gasquet, Yoann Gourcuff, Yoann Gourcuff. Need I say more? Oh yeah, and Yoann Gourcuff.ReplyDelete
natch - I SO know what you mean.ReplyDelete
LOL and I thought I was the only one with a female erection... I'm so glad it's bedtime over here... :PReplyDelete
So, if you will excuse me, I will get back to my court, where naked Rafa is waiting for me...

*sends Yoann invite to strip playstation tourney with rafa, gilles, + rafanatics*
we all of a sudden have an extra spot.
I know! Sometimes I want to cry when I see him. I just need him to move to my club so I can cheer for him. He says that if he hadn't chosen soccer, he would have chosen tennis. Can you imagine that?ReplyDelete
*imagines yoann and gasquet having a moment at the net*
Sara, have you seen the video where Yoann removed his shorts and ran around on the pitch after a match?ReplyDelete

WASHINGTON – A 21-year-old man was killed after the car he was driving hit a curb and flipped over just after crossing the Key Bridge into Arlington, injuring two other passengers.
Arlington County police spokesman have identified the driver as 21-year-old Sami Ullah of Leesburg, Va. He was pronounced dead on the scene.
Another man of the same age was ejected from the car and was unconscious. He later regained consciousness and was transported to a hospital. The third passenger, a man in his early 20s, was able to get out of the car. He was also taken to the hospital.
Police spokesman Dustin Sternbeck estimates the 2008 BMW was going 80 to 90 mph as it crossed over the Key Bridge when it hit a curb. The vehicle rolled 4 or 5 times before finally coming to a stop near Lee Highway and Fort Myer Drive around 5 a.m.
