Build A Small-Block ChevyWritten by on July 1, 1998 The Step-By-Step Scoop
Sure, you can build any engine to produce big power, but when you opt for smaller cubes, you have to work so much harder to do the job. Bolting on a blower, a turbo, or nitrous will make your small small-block really hustle, but if you want to pound out power without power adders, big cubes are the way to go.
Recently we wanted to undertake a hefty project: Build a bulletproof, big-cube small-block Chevy that would spit out 600 hp while sipping pump gasoline. No, we're not talking that 100-octane pump stuff, we're talking the 92-octane juice that you can buy at your local Mi-T-Mart gas station. Moreover, the engine had to be tough enough to be driven on the streets without breaking, backfiring, or belching coolant at every stoplight. True, such an engine isn't intended for cross-country long hauls, but it should be able to be regularly punished each weekend.
Building this mill obviously involves using top-quality parts that will likely bruise your wallet, but even so, we'll use parts that an average schmoe can get from a mail-order outfit or from a local speed shop. We skipped using 18-degree cylinder heads, rods made from unobtainium, and handfabbed induction parts borrowed from a Winston Cup car. Rather, we opted for traditional wares, such as 23-degree aluminum heads, steel rods, and a lumpy roller cam. Did the parts team up to deliver the tons o' torque? Well, ummm, maybe. OK, here's the deal: We're lame. We thrashed to get this story done and, at the last minute, ran out of time to finish the dyno test. Still, we're confident that the 600-hp-on-pump-gas claim is realistic, and as a guarantee, if the engine barely squeaks out 500 hp, we'll eat the story. That's right, we might have to enjoy a lunch consisting of five pages' worth of engine edit. But for now follow along as we show how E.T. Automotive bolted together our mighty Mouse.

Just think of the fun when we roll into a cruise spot and tell everybody that we're running a 427, then pop the hood and watch jaws drop when people realize that we're packing a 427 small-block. This is how our mill looked when fully trimmed out and ready for dyno flogging. Notice part of the trick serpentine-beltdrive pulleys that are new from March Performance.We started our project with a GM Performance Parts Bow Tie small-block that was machined to deliver 4.125-inch bores and had a 9-inch deck height and align-honed mains. Although the Bow Tie block has added beef for improved strength, if you want to save a few bucks, you could machine a used 400 small-block.Taylor forged slugs with a 9cc dish, which will deliver a pump gas-friendly 10.48:1 compression ratio.To achieve the magical 600hp level that we wanted, Lunati recommended a roller valvetrain package. The Lunati cam is a mechanical roller design with gobs of lift, the Lunati roller timing-chain set features lots of adjustability for cam degreeing, and a set of Lunati roller rockers will help reduce friction.The Lunati 4-inch-stroke crank swings so wide that there would've been rod-to-cylinder bore interference. Thus, E.T. Automotive used its Standard Abrasives grinding gear to notch the lower edges of the cylinder bores (arrows) to provide clearance.After the block was machined and had its bores notched, it was thoroughly scrubbed. Then it was painted the same color as the car for that show look. Just prior to assembly, the block was given another superscouring to remove any grime or small shavings.For added strength, a set of ARP main studs were threaded in place. Then the King High Performance main bearings from Lunati were fitted along with a slathering of assembly lube.The Lunati crank was carefully positioned, and the main caps were fitted and torqued to spec. Notice the "contoured wing" design of the Lunati crank. The edges of the crank throws are tapered, which diverts excess oil away from the rods and helps build added power by eliminating windage. Also note the crank's rod journals, which are gun-drilled to reduce rotating mass.
The pistons and rods come fully balanced. Here the pistons are fit to the rods and then the small Spirolock retainers are installed to retain the floating piston pins.The Lunati mechanical roller cam (PN 50199) was given a coating of engine oil and then installed in the block. The cam delivers impressive figures that are needed to deliver the big power that we want. Cam specs are 0.627-/0.627-inch lift and 252/260 degrees of duration at 0.050-inch lift, with a 110-degree lobe-separation angle. The lobe centerline was ground at 106 degrees, which will give added rod-to-cam clearance with the big stroker crank.The Lunati mechanical roller lifters (PN 72840) were given a shower in Quaker State motor oil and then carefully fitted to the block. No special- assembly lube is required to break-in roller cams.The Lunati nine-keyway roller timing-chain set (PN 93100-9) was installed in the straight-up position but can be easily phased to advance or retard the cam, if desired.To ensure that the camshaft was properly phased, a Lunati degree wheel was used to verify cam- timing specs.Shooting for 600 hp is a tall order, but in case we need a few extra horsepower to achieve our goal, we opted for a Bo Laws three-piece timing cover (PN 60004). If cam advancing/retarding is needed, simply pop off the outer cover to access the timing chain.To guarantee proper oiling at high rpm, a high-volume oil pump and oil pan from Hamburger's was used. The oil pan features a built-in windage tray that will promote better oil control and may even deliver a few extra horsepower due to reduced windage.TCI's new Rattler 7-1/4-inch, internally balanced harmonic balancer (PN 870002) was fitted to quell unwanted vibrations. The balancer is fully degreed for easy timing and valve adjustments and is fully SFI-approved for racing.As with any engine, one of the biggest keys to big power is a pair of high-flow cylinder heads. We opted for Eicke/Grant Induction Applications' new CNC-ported aluminum heads to deliver the airflow that will be needed to feed the burly 427. For a rundown on the heads, refer to the Honkin' Heads sidebar.
The Eicke/Grant Brodix 11x SP aluminum heads were fitted to the block and then held by ARP head studs. Sealing the combustion pressures is a pair of Fel-Pro head gaskets (PN 20-1034).The Eicke/Grant heads come fitted with 7/16-inch screw-in studs and guideplates. The Lunati 1.5:1 roller rocker arms (PN 84148) were fitted, and Lunati polylok retainers were threaded on.A Lunati aluminum stud girdle (PN 91653) clamps onto the rocker-arm polyloks to help prevent valvetrain deflection during high-rpm operation. To set valve lash, simply loosen the stud girdle and turn the polylok(s).The Eicke/Grant heads have such cavernous intake ports that special Fel-Pro intake gaskets (PN 1206) were required.A Brodix SP-1 high-rise, single-plenum, aluminum intake manifold (PN HV-1014) was bolted to the heads to move large quantities of airflow. For a few extra bucks, you can have the SP-1's intake ports port-matched to the gasket size that will be used, which in our case was extra cavernous.A pair of GM Performance Parts aluminum valve covers provided enough room to clear the roller rockers and stud girdles. The covers were painted the same blue hue as the block and then were sanded along the letters to provide a machined look.To provide enough petrol to feed the hungry 427, a BG Fuel Systems Super Speedway mechanical fuel pump (PN 170014) was bolted on. The pump delivers 120-gph fuel flow and comes with a choice of -8 or -10 AN inlets.The BG fuel pump delivers juice to BG's new Gold Claw carburetor (PN 7402010GP). The Claw has removable venturi bores to adjust the overall cfm airflow and a specially contoured inlet opening. It features special billet-aluminum metering blocks, revised fuel inlet routing, and more.
To promote more even engine cooling, the Brodix SP-1 intake has provisions for its Water Kit that allows coolant to better circulate between the front and the rear of the engine.To ensure that plenty of coolant would be shuttled throughout the engine, a high-flow aluminum water pump (PN 8222) from Weiand was used. Keeping this type of big engine cool is of paramount interest so that the motor can be reliably cruised during weekend outings.The Brodix 11x heads have a spread-center exhaust port that helps build added power but requires a special exhaust header. Not to worry, Hedman offers its line of street-car headers with the special spread-port header flange. For some extra bucks, Hedman can even coat the headers with a high-temp silver coating from Performance Coatings.Famed Pro Stock engine builder Dale Eicke uses his years of knowledge to custom-port the heads (you can choose from Brodix, Dart, and others).BG Fuel System's Barry Grant then digitizes the port dimensions on the heads and stores the info on his computer. If you order a pair of heads, the info is retrieved and the heads are CNC-ported to match the original specs.After the CNC porting is complete, the Eicke/ Grant heads are treated to a full-competition valve job. Notice how the combustion chambers have also been fully CNC ported for high flow and consistency.You can choose what size and type of valves you want fitted to your Eicke/Grant heads. Want titanium valves? Not a problem. We opted for 2.10-inch intake and 1.60-inch exhaust valves constructed of stainless steel.

You ever think that our government is giving us what we have asked for? We have become a nation dependent on government. SSI, Food stamps, WIC, unemployment comp., block grants, public housing, Obamaphones, Obamacars. They correctly assumed that as long as those checks and freebies keep coming that we wouldn't notice the police-state that our 'leaders' were quietly creating. The genie is out of the bottle. I don't expect it to be put back by the very same government created it.

We all hoped that with the first election of Obama he would be the pied piper of come-togetherness, which we really didn't need except in the slum barrios of our nation, and as he turned his back on those people and humiliated our nation internationally, many didn't grasp the harm he was doing. In the second election the ignorant dark side of America reelected this most divisive treacherous progressive ideologue in our nation's history, and now the world laughs at us. If anyone were to do the right thing, Obama would acknowledge his incompetence and resign.

Can you imagine what news people and other liberals would be sayng about this if Bush was in office? Seriously. I am a lifelong Dem and moderate, to left on some issues, but when it comes to running this country I would take Bush back right now. Obama has tanked and has shown himself to be beneath of the job we elected him to do. He is not the big old fuzzy, liberal swell guy who just loves us all. He is a person who is more like Nixon than any other President. The IRS scandal is the worst known gov abuse since Nixon, and actually much more than Nixon did and we removed him. So the US is asking countries to do the right thing and return Snowden or we will what, do more spying on them? Obama is nightmare and is a lame duck right now, like it or not. The US form of gov runs on us giving up some privacy and freedoms voluntarily and that we trust those who govern not to abuse them. Nearly every Amendment has been abused by the Obama administration. We will never trust him again.

If you missed our March 22, 2010 through April 19, 2010 US Census Question Answering Center (QAC) at the Pacifica-Sharp Park Library, it isn't too late to be counted.
Knock, Knock
Census Takers will be going door to door now through July, and it's important to open your doors to them. To find out more information about the process, explore the detailed Census website.
Although the Census is ostensibly a data-gathering exercise, many important aspects of civic life are dependent on an accurate count of population, not the least of which is Congressional representation.
Congressional districts are determined by the census count and if California undercounts its residents then our representation in the House of Representatives is affected accordingly.
Other funding issues are determined by the census count as well: transportation and roadway planning, election planning and site placement, police and fire allocations, and much much more. You can easily see how critical it is that we get an accurate count so that vital resources are not diverted to other areas based on erroneous data.
The Census Bureau has made it very easy to fill out the form this year. Their slogan for this campaign is "10 Questions in 10 Minutes."
So please take the 10 minutes to answer the census questions.
Thanks! We all depend on it.

Effective at the beginning of 2002-2003 school year, Mississippi children entering daycare and kindergarten will be required to be vaccinated against chicken pox.
"With these new requirements we should be able to get rid of chickenpox in the state," said State Epidemiologist Dr. Mary Currier. "And we should be able to stop any deaths or hospitalizations due to chickenpox in Mississippi."
Many parents may believe chicken pox is a relatively mild disease, but Currier says it can require hospitalization and even cause death.

50 Reasons You Despised George W. Bush's Presidency: A Reminder on the Day of His Presidential Library Dedication
He's one of the worst presidents ever.
April 24, 2013
On Thursday, President Obama and all four living ex-presidents will attend the dedication of the $500 million George W. Bush Presidential Libraryat Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas. Many progressives will remember Bush as a contender for the "worst president ever," saying he more aptly deserves a multi-million-dollar prison cell for a litany of war crimes.
Amazingly, the Bush library seeks to ask visitors "What would you have done?" if you were in this presidents shoes. The ex-presidents defenders are betting that the public will reconsider their judgments after a hefty dose of historical amnesia. Bush has been absent from political debates in recent years, instead making millions in private speeches. Today, his popularity is even with Obama's; both have 47 percent approval rating.
Lets look at 50 reasons, some large and some small, why W. inspired so much anger.
1. He stole the presidency in 2000. People may forget that Republicans in Florida purged more than 50,000 African-American voters before Election Day, and then went to the Supreme Court where the GOP-appointed majority stopped a recount that would have awarded the presidency to Vice-President Al Gore if all votes were counted. National news organizations verified that outcome long after Bush had been sworn in.
2. Bushs lies started in that race. Bush ran for office claiming he was a uniter, not a divider. Even though he received fewer popular votes than Gore, he quickly claimed he had the mandate from the American public to push his right-wing agenda.
3. He covered up his past. He was a party boy, the scion of a powerful political family who got away with being a deserter during the Vietnam War. He was reportedly AWOL for over a year from his assigned unit, the Texas Air National Guard, which other military outfits called the "Champagne Division.
4. He loved the death penalty. As Texas governor from 1995-2000, he signedthe most execution orders of any governor in U.S. history152 people, including the mentally ill and women who were domestic abuse victims. He spared one mans life, a serial killer.
5. He was a corporate shill from Day 1. Bush locked up the GOP nomination by raising more campaign money from corporate boardrooms than anyone at that time. He lunched with CEOs who would jet into Austin to "educate" him about their political wish lists.
6. He gutted global political progress. He pulled out of the Kyoto Protocol which set requirements for 38 nations to lower greenhouse gas emissions to combat climate change, saying that abiding by the agreement would harm our economy and hurt our workers.
7. He embraced global isolationism. He withdrew from the 1972 Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty, over Russias protest, taking the U.S. in a direction not seen since World War I.
8. He ignored warnings about Osama bin Laden. He ignored the Aug. 6, 2001 White House intelligence briefing titled, Bin Laden determined to strike in the U.S. Meanwhile, his chief anti-terrorism advisor, Richard Clarke, and first Treasury Secretary, Paul ONeill, testified in Congress that he was intent on invading Iraq within days of becoming president.
9. Ramped up war on drugs, not terrorists. The Bush administration had twice as many FBI agents assigned to the war on drugs than fighting terrorism before 9/11, and kept thousands in that role after the terror attacks.
10. My Pet Goat. He kept reading a picture book to grade-schoolers for seven minutes after his top aides told him that the World Trade Centers had been attacked in 9/11. Then Air Force One flew away from Washington, D.C., vanishing for hours after the attack.

Item # SHI0235
Don't worry though, we have a lot more Brake Levers & Integrated Shifters in stock than that.View Similar Products
Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 ST-7970 STI Shifters $0.00
For all the chatter about electronic shifting replacing mechanical, the place where people will love it or hate it is at the shift lever. Shimano rightly lavished plenty of attention when they designed the Dura-Ace Di2 STI Shifters.
In order for the Di2 levers to work at shifting your bike, they must be used in conjunction with the Di2 front derailleur, rear derailleur, battery pack, and wiring kit.
The most obvious advantage to going electronic is the fact that the cable routing doesn't add friction to the system. No cables = no friction. Add to that the system is fast. Really fast. Faster than downtube shifting. 30% faster than shifting on mechanical Shimano Dura-Ace 7900. Better still, the shifting feel is much lighter. You can do it when you're tired. You can do it with "weak" fingers. You don't have to move your wrists or forearm.
Unlike mechanical Dura-Ace, the Di2 shift lever blade doesn't move inward. Instead there are two paddles behind the unidirectional carbon-fiber lever blade. The one closer to the handlebar still does the traditional shifting with the spring (aka onto smaller cogs in the rear, onto bigger in the front), and the one further does the traditional shifting against the spring (aka onto taller cogs in back onto smaller in front). They each have 2mm of travel. Each push results in one shift. Though if you're coasting, you can "pre-shift" any number of gears, and the system will take up the shifting when you start pedaling.
Shimano refined their STI lever when going electric. The levers are slimmer, closer to pre-STI levers, with some more ergonomic refining. Shimano shaved down their profile because they don't need to allow for derailleur cable routing and the internal hardware it takes to precisely shift cable. The shift positions should still closely mimic mechanical Dura-Ace. The lever body, which they refer to as the "perch" has been better shaped for greater long-distance comfort. In addition, the pivot on the lever has been moved for even better modulation.
They did think about weight savings. The levers are 155g lighter. This isn't an insignificant savings. Not only are all the shifting mechanisms rendered unnecessary and left off, but there is a titanium clamp and fixing bolt on each lever to further reduces weight.
The Di2 STI levers come as a set of two levers. No brake cables, brake housing, or wires are included.
A second, or possibly third, set of shifters can be set up on the same system. SW-7971 is the kit that has extra shifting elements that can be placed on aero bars or elsewhere. A Shimano Flight Deck computer (SC-7900) can be attached to the system via the harness. The reach of the levers can be adjusted individually.
- Better ergonomics for longer rides
- Lighter weight than cable operated counterparts
- Shifts 30% faster than cable operated counterparts
- Brake lever pivot is relocated for better modulation
- 10mm of reach adjustment for fitting a wide variety of hands
- Shifters are designed to accept the all new FlightDeck computer
- Extra terminals can be used for additional shift switch locations
- Needs to be used in conjunction with Di2 Battery pack, Wiring kit, R. Der., and F.Der,

Can these be used with Ultegra Di2 fromt...
Can these be used with Ultegra Di2 fromt and rear derailleurs, to replace the Ultegra shifters?
NO, The 7970 is NOT cross compatible. The newer 9070 Di2 is. The entire 7970 Di2 group used different plugs from any later Di2 group so it can't be interchanged.
Game Changer!
Di2 is amazing!

It hasn't been the best of starts for both Valley and Toronto this season as the teams are a combined 1-7 to begin the 2012 campaign.
Both teams are young, each having lost major pieces from last season's team.
Neither Valley coach Tom West or Toronto coach Eric Meek is ready to give up on the season yet as both are hoping Friday's game at Clark Hinkle Field in Toronto will be a springboard for the rest of the way.

Toronto quarterback Blaze Glenn (7) and the Red Knights will play host to Valley on Friday night. Toronto is looking for its first victory of the season.
''Two years ago, we started out 0-4 and came on strong,'' Meek said. ''Last season we won five of our last 7. So hopefully we can have that kind of success again. There is still a lot of football left to be played.''
Toronto's problem could be a tough schedule that has seen it go up against Shadyside, Steubenville Catholic, and Wellsville en route to an 0-4 start.
Freshman quarterback Blaze Glenn has been a bright spot for the Red Knights, but according to Meek, that is no where near where the problem lies.
''We are a small group and we don't have a lot of size,'' Meek said. ''We have quickness but where we are hurting the most is in our tackling. That is something we know we have to continue to improve on if we want to come out and get our first win Friday.''
Unfortunately for Meek, the Lumberjacks have a lot of big boys.
Spencer Mason and Trey Streets lead the way for Valley, which defeated Hundred in Week 3 for the only victory between the two schools.
The Lumberjacks are coming off a loss to Notre Dame last week. It was the first game back for West, who missed the first three games following surgery.
''It was good to be back out there,'' West said. ''We have a young team and are playing a lot of freshmen and sophomores right now.
''The biggest problem seems to be the mental mistakes we are making. We drove the ball well (against Notre Dame) but just couldn't score.''
West also sees a lot of his team in Toronto.
''They are kind of like us with having a hard time getting started,'' West said. ''They have a QB that likes to scramble and he can go clear to the sideline to get the ball. We have to find a way to contain him. The way he scrambles, he worries us.''

A local middle school is taking steps to give parents an idea of what goes on in the classroom.
Carver Middle School hosted a family literacy night at Mount Olive Missionary Baptist Church on Wednesday night. Organizers say they chose to hold the event away from the school as a way to involve the entire community. Parents had an opportunity to learn, just as their child would.
Carver Middle plans to host additional sessions beginning in February.

I've now heard this from three places.
It is being rumored that Andrew Mitchell from the football team is going to suit up tonight for the basketball squad.
Andrew Mitchell - Iowa State University Athletics Official Web Site - www.CYCLONES.com - The home of Iowa State Cyclone Sports
Here is a post from Ben Lamaak's Twitter feed. I believe that the two are roommates.
The newest member of the Iowa State Basketball team @DejaDrew80

And his profile says on Cyclones.com says
At Iowa State
Joined the basketball team as a walk-on on Jan. 3...was a three-year member of the football team at tight end...played in all 12 games for the Cyclones as a member of the special teams unit on kickoff returns in 2010.
So my guess is that this is 100% accurate!
looks official since its noted on his profile in the link above
Well, at least it's a guy we know will be a decent athlete and know how to be part of the team.
How good he is as a basketball player... I guess we find out tonight. Averaging 2.1 points and 1.3 rebounds at JuCo isn't encouraging though.
Nice to see we have another body available, but based on his bio for the football team which also mentions his basketball experience, it does not appear that he will be a scorer at all. Does anyone think he will be able to provide any sort of meaningful contribution during games?
Soon to be team leader in fouls per minute...
Warm bodies are good for this team. We could use a few more on the back end...
Keepers of the Faith -- The Unknown
He'll be a banger. At 6'2" 243 he won't be getting pushed around out there.
Is this a way to sneak Royce on the court? Look its "Andrew Mitchell" We should probably switch his height to 6'8 in the roster so it works better.
Why not have Sedrick Johnson play too? He might contribute there more than football.
Thats pretty cool...I wanna see him get minutes.
"Winning isn't everything, it's the only thing."
6'2", 243? What position is this guy? Do we really need more practice bodies or what?

Not if Railey is healthy.

Probably not a bad guess.. he might have been brought in to be our enforcer during Big XII play...
Looks like he has a Big 12 body. He can take some charges and maybe dunk one or two. Think a smaller O'Rear.
Let Prohm's Posse Ride: Hallice, Brady, Stu, Lard, Naz, Deonte, Monte, Matt, Simeon, Jordan, and Babb.

The University of West Georgia will host an HIV/AIDS Talk on Tuesday, Nov. 19, at 6:30 p.m. at UWG's Ingram Library in the Murphy Reading Room. The talk will feature UWG alumna and author Lee Kearney as the keynote speaker. This event is free and open to the public.
Kearney will speak about her book, "He Always Brought Me Flowers: A Mother's Remembrance of Her Son's Journey," which tells the story of her son's journey with addiction, HIV/AIDS and her grief and loss.
"It is said in the counseling world that the hardest death to endure is the loss of a child. They are supposed to follow behind us, not go before us. The loss of my son at age 26 rocked my world. His addiction threatened to take him from me, but I finally lost him to HIV/AIDS," Kearney shares in the epilogue of her book.
Kearney will be available to autograph copies of her book following the program. An exhibit related to the talk will also be up in the same space until Dec. 1 in recognition of World AIDS Day.
World AIDS is held on Dec. 1 each year and is an opportunity for people worldwide to unite in the fight against HIV, show their support for people living with HIV and to commemorate people who have died. The inaugural World AIDS Day, held in 1988, was the first global health day. Free and confidential HIV Testing will also be available on Tuesday, Nov. 19, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the Ingram Library.
This event is being co-sponsored by UWG's College of Social Sciences, Alumni Association and the Responsible Sexuality Committee. To RSVP for the event, visit www.westga.edu/alumni/rsvp or call 678-639-6582.

Rockers Guns N' Roses have dismissed rumors suggesting they plan to announce a shock split next month.
Reports hinted the "Sweet Child O' Mine" hitmakers had decided to part ways at the end of their Las Vegas residency in June because frontman Axl Rose, the only remaining original member, wanted to retire from the music business.
However, the rockers blasted the story in a post on the band's Facebook.com page, uploading a picture of Rose with the words, "I'm not going anywhere", and calling the news "BS (bulls***)" in the caption.
The band's residency at Sin City's Hard Rock Hotel kicked off on Wednesday.
GNR has previously announced plans to release new music next year.

A huge understatement! Holy smokers, that's pretty awesome. Let us know how it shoots!
Arise... Kill, Eat! - Acts 10:13
Nebraska Outlander - it took 3 preference points to draw this year. I just got back from a Labor Day Weekend scouting trip for my son and cousin's rifle hunt in October. Since I didn't draw a rifle tag, I got an over the counter antelope tag and took my bow along on the trip. Here is my story. . . . .
Drove out west to within 20 miles of Wyoming last Friday evening. The main intention was to scout new private land for BadShootinGriz (Luke) and my son, Kyle, for rifle season. I figured I'd just as well drag the bow along and buy a bow permit. Scouted on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. Saw a number of bucks, most all by themselves. Did find a few bucks with a bunch of does. These must have been the Alpha bucks. We spied the largest buck of the trip with 17 does on Saturday in a pasture that looked so flat you could bowl on. On Sunday, he was in the same pasture with 20 does. On Monday, there were 26 does and no buck.?.?. After some glassing, we spotted him returning from quite a ways off. . . perhaps returning from running another buck off. Shortly, we spotted another decent buck about a mile away in a different direction. The Alpha buck spotted him at about the same time. Again, off he goes to run him out of the country. This sparked an idea. . . if I could get between him and his harem, perhaps I could pull my Montana Decoy (See here for what it looks like => Montana Decoy ) out of the plastic wrapper and see if it works like it says it does. Luke would keep watch from the top of a hill and we would communicate via radios. When he disappeared in a valley, I slid down the hill into a slight depression. I didn't get 200 yards and Luke tells me he is returning. I pick him up and watch him make his way back to his harem. I'm part-way out in the pasture, so I lay flat to watch his next move. Shortly, they all start bedding down. When they do this, I cannot see them. So, I decide to start crawling towards them. Keep in mind that antelope survive due to the eyesight that is equivalent to 8-power binoculars. I need to stay out of sight of 27 antelope on a flat pasture. Initially, I cover the first hundred yards at a hunched-over crawl. I see the ears of does, so now the next hundred yards is on hands and knees. Again, I spot the ears of does, so now I am flat on my belly with 500-600 yards to go. It's left elbow forward, right elbow forward, pull the bow, pull the decoy, repeat. 2 hours into the sneak and I can go no further as I can again see the tops of the does ears. From where Luke is at, he cannot see the buck and I cannot either. But we figure he has to be in with the does, I just can't see him. I sure as heck can't raise my head off the ground, or all this punishment would have been for naught. I figured I am 200 yards from the furthest doe, so the buck is something closer than that.
Laying on my stomach, I position my bow and knock an arrow. I move the buck decoy in front of me and prepare to flip it up. My plan is to quickly stick the decoy in the ground in front of me and come to my knees behind it where I can draw my bow. I know that if it works as expected, the buck will always come in from my right to my left (per the book Trophy Antelope Hunting by Mike Eastman – an excellent read that I HIGHLY recommend). Mike says this is a given when coming in to a decoy; and it works well for a right-handed archer.
Up goes my decoy and I come to my knees for the first time in almost 2 hours and start to push the rods into the ground to hold the decoy up. Immediately, Luke is on the radio telling me that the buck has jumped up and is charging towards me! (Editorial note: Luke says that when I flipped the decoy up, the does that first saw it about got whiplash from turning their heads so quickly to look at it. Once they did that, the buck immediately jumped up and as soon as he saw the decoy, he took off straight for it.) I peek under the belly of the decoy and 'Holy Cow! He is right!'. I let go of the decoy to grab my bow and the decoy falls onto my head. I use the top of my bow to hold it up. Luke is now telling me that he is broadside. . . . just what I want. I peek under the chin of the decoy and he is still 85 yards out. . . too far. Off he comes again, so I get ready for him to show up on my left side. Mike Eastman says that when the buck sees the hunter behind the decoy, the hunter will have 2 to 3 seconds to shoot before he figures out what is happening. Next thing I know Luke is telling me he is coming to my right. This can't be true! The books says so! I peek under his chin and he is 30 yards from me on my right. I'm pointed left. It's now or never. I draw back my bow and have to raise it up and over the head of my decoy. In the process, my decoy falls over as it was never stuck in the ground very well. I shift my body and reposition my knees to shoot to my right. He immediately bolts from all of this commotion and takes off. But I see the familiar lope that I have seen in lots of coyotes over the years and I know that he is unsure of what he just saw and he is going to stop and take one more look. I get on him and follow him already guessing 75 yards as to where he will stop. He stops and looks back and I quickly change my estimate to 60 yards. I place the 60-yard pin behind his shoulder and touch my release.
This next part I can still vividly see in slow motion. I only pull back 58 pounds, so my arrows have a lot of arch in relation to other folks who pull a heavier weight. When I released my arrow, I immediately thought, 'Oh man, I way overshot him.' I watched that arrow arch way high in the air and then curve and start to drop towards the earth. I followed it all the way to its mark! Hours and hours and hours of practice this summer for this one shot! And it couldn't have hit him more exact where I wanted it! He spun and just went screaming back to where the 26 does stood. If you have never seen how fast an antelope can run, I can't explain it. You just have to experience it to appreciate it. He covered the 150 yards in probably no more than 5-6 seconds. And as soon as he reached them, he flipped head over heels and it was over.
I have had a LOT of great hunts with a lot of great species over the years and this spot and stalk of 27 antelope tops them all! When I am old and sitting in an easy chair and can no longer hunt, this will be one of the first hunts I always reminisce.
That is awesome and I want to congradulate you on a fine trophy!!! That is an awesome story and I look forward to doing that next year!!! Thanks for the story it really gets me pumped!!!
Nebraska Outlander
Great story and great trophy!
What an exciting story! Stalking up on antelope is a tuff thing! How awesome to be able to decoy it in too! Congrats!

Great Thread IKIC.
About ten years ago my dad and I where hunting about an hour and a half from home. We had dropped down into a canyon and walked up the other side. We were about 2-1/2 miles from the truck when we decided to head back. I headed down throug the timber while my dad walked straight down through a big clear cut to my left. We hadn't gone 100yds when I could hear him yelling for me. When I made it to him I found out he had completly blown his knee out. It took me several hours to get him and all of our gear out. He had to lean on me the whole way. Not a major incident in the end but it could have been pretty serious if he had been out there alone. (Always let someone know where you are going and when you should be back!!!)

LONDON (AP) -- Richard Griffiths, the British actor who played the boy wizard's unsympathetic Uncle Vernon in the "Harry Potter" movies, has died. He was 65. Agent Simon Beresford says Griffiths died Thursday of complications following heart surgery.
Griffiths appeared in dozens of films and TV shows and was one of Britain's leading stage actors, creating roles including the charismatic teacher Hector in Alan Bennett's "The History Boys." In 2007 he appeared onstage in "Equus" alongside his "Harry Potter" co-star Daniel Radcliffe.
Radcliffe said Friday that he was "proud to say I knew him. Richard was by my side during two of the most important moments of my career," Radcliffe said, his first scene as the boy wizard and his stage debut. Radcliffe said Griffiths' "encouragement, tutelage and humor made it a joy."

Not Going to IBM Vision 2012? Better "Think Twice."
Timothy Powers 270003F3FN email@example.com | | Tags:  xbrl predictive-analytics governance decision-management risk grc business-analytics performance-management fraud compliance openpages clarity cognos analytics | 0 Comments | 4,290 Visits
Do you really understand the reasons you make decisions?
Sometimes the mind wants to unconsciously push us into a certain decision when there's a better way to think about it.
That's the premise of the book, Think Twice: Harnessing the Power of Counterintuition, written by Michael Mauboussin, Chief Investment Strategist at Legg Mason Capital Management and a keynote speaker at IBM's upcoming Vision 2012 conference in Orlando, May 14-17.
Vision is IBM's global conference for finance and risk professionals to help improve planning, budgeting and forecasting, identify and mitigate risk, and meet the demanding requirements of XBRL, IFRS, Basel II and Solvency II with greater confidence.
I talked to Mauboussin about his book, making data-driven decisions, some common pitfalls as decision makers, and his upcoming talk at Vision.
"What's very exciting is that in the last half dozen years, we've had a real influx of data, and we're now just learning how to tap that data for the benefit of better decision making," said Mauboussin. "Now we can create a better intersection between value creation and making decisions."
The problem however, according to Mauboussin, is that we still have the same cognitive makeup and the propensity to make common mistakes.
"We often think about our own decision making as being objective and fact based and rationale. And we tend to underestimate systematically how important the social context is for our decision making," said Mauboussin.
To illustrate this point he told an interesting story from his book.
Researchers went into the wine section of a supermarket and set up French and German wines next to each other that were roughly matched in price and quality. Over a two week period they alternated playing distinctively French and distinctively German music to see if it would have any influence on purchase decisions.
Surprisingly, they found when French music played people bought French wine 77 percent of the time, and German wine 73 percent of the time when German music played. When asked if music affected their selections, the consumers unanimously said no.
"This basic experiment can be extrapolated to a lot of organizational settings where we think of ourselves as trying to be conscious and mindful as we make decisions. But indeed what is going on around us can be deeply influential to our decisions," said Mauboussin.
So what do we do?
According to Mauboussin, integrate more data into quality decisions. However, there is still a tension between the intuitive, go by the seat of the pants experience group versus the analytically-minded group.
"Either extreme is not going to work but a blend between the two is right way," said Mauboussin.

IBM Enhances Risk-Aware Decision Making & Policy Management with New OpenPages Platform Release
Timothy Powers 270003F3FN email@example.com | | Tags:  frank-dodd risk grc business-analytics cognos fraud openpages compliance performance-management analytics governance risk-analytics | 0 Comments | 3,624 Visits
By Gordon Burnes, Worldwide Marketing, IBM Risk Analytics
A key theme at Vision 2012, IBM's three-day user conference for Finance and Risk professionals, is how organizations can leverage enterprise risk information to make better decisions while balancing the demands for risk oversight and regulatory compliance.
The current complex and dynamic regulatory environment is a particular challenge for risk and compliance directors. For instance, while organizations covered by Dodd-Frank must respond to current regulatory reporting requirements, less than a third of the associated rule-making has been finished.
So, risk and compliance professionals must put in place an approach to meet regulatory requirements that can easily adapt over time as regulations evolve, and this approach includes the capability to adapt internal policies to keep pace with the evolving regulatory environment.
During the Risk Analytics Keynote, IBM announced general availability of IBM OpenPages GRC Platform 6.1.
This new solution enhances the ability to make risk-aware business decisions, enables companies to react more quickly to regulatory changes through better policy management, and decreases costs and complexity of compliance.
Leveraging the IBM Cognos business intelligence platform, OpenPages 6.1 delivers interactive reports and dashboards that allow business managers to turn that risk information into insight and insight into better business outcomes.
The new release includes several important enhancements:
· Manages lifecycle of policies from creation, review, approval, attestation, and exception management
· Standardizes policy templates and approval processes across the business
· Allows policies to be structured in a standardized way but presented in narrative form (for editing and review, etc) the way people are used to working with policies
· Formalizes process for employee awareness and training and monitoring of campaigns
· Maps policies to regulatory library and control framework to increase visibility into policy coverage & adherence and make it easier to update policies as regulations change
· Enhanced reporting user interface and framework that empowers business users to explore and analyze risk data using interactive dashboards and reporting for better decision making
In summary, IBM OpenPages 6.1:
· Enables companies to react more quickly to regulatory changes through better policy management
· Enhances the ability to make risk-aware business decisions through easier access to risk and compliance information
· Decreases the cost and complexity of compliance with out-of-the-box configurations for policy management.

I'm working on integrating Zimbra with our intranet home page. We'd like to display users' inboxes and calendars on the portal, and allow them to click on a email in the portal and go straight into Zimbra to view that message.
I have successfully built the portal up to the point where users can click a link to go stright into Zimbra without logging in (using pre-auth), but I'm not sure how to have Zimbra open up a specific message automatically. Is this possible? I'd also love to be able to link directly to a specific calendar item or day, as well.


text: Where can I get this zimlet from? I have two side by side installs, when upgrading to 8.0 GA one gave me issues with the zimlets (when user logs in throws errors0. So, I did as some of the post recommended, removed zimlets and reinstalled, but now I can't find that one file (com_zimbra_local.zip)!

Wednesday lineup: Dyson showcases his speed in the Motor City
Rookie Jarrod Dyson played a big role in last night's 9-6 win over Detroit. Dyson recorded his second three-hit game to go along with career highs of three runs and two doubles. He collected his first Major League RBI, a walk, a stolen base and a sac bunt. Jarrod is leading off again tonight. Let's take a look at the lineup for the 6:05 Central start:
(Dyson – CF), (Blanco – LF), (Aviles – 2B), (Butler – 1B), (Betemit – 3B), (Ka'aihue – DH), (Betancourt – SS), (Maier – RF), (May – C), (Davies – P)
1 Comment
Really encouraged by some of these under the radar young guys. We know Moose and Hosmer and Colon and probably Myers are all gonna be a big help, but it's the who else can emerge and keep you from having to sign veterans to fill holes.
Dyson, Robinson, Teaford…guys like that who can play a role without havin to be a superstar.

Okay CF need you to voice your opinion on these two topics. My wife and I have two different viewpoints and want to know what others think.
1. Do you eat bread butts / the ends of a loaf of bread or no?
2. Is it Duck, Duck, Goose or Duck, Duck, Gray Duck?
1. It's called a heel and yes after the rest of the loaf to not dry out the other pieces.
2. D,D,Goose
Last edited by ISUAgronomist; 01-27-2013 at 12:14 PM.
1. Only If i really need bread
2. Duck Duck Goose, this is America not Canada land!
For bread butts, it depends if it is the last piece available.
Definitely Duck, Duck, Goose. It is more rythmatic.
Let Prohm's Posse Ride: Hallice, Brady, Stu, Lard, Naz, Deonte, Monte, Matt, Simeon, Jordan, and Babb.
Divorce your wife for being wrong.
She Minnesotan?
1. Sometimes.
2. Duck, Duck, Goose
I say DDG, my wife however (from NW Iowa -near MN) says DDGD.

If you make a sandwich with the heel and just turn the heel side so that it's on the inside of the sandwich it's like not eating a heel at all. So yes I do.
And I've never heard it called Duck, Duck, Gray Duck before, only Duck, Duck, Goose. Gray Duck just doesn't have the same ring to it.

No further debate necessary. She's wrong. :)
It's not the butt or the heel it's the crust
Duck Duck "Gray Duck" Run away your wife is a racist!!!!

[Special Academic Programs]
College of Arts and Sciences
The College of Arts and Sciences offers its students an array of enriching academic opportunities. Among these are the Clark Advising Program and other special activities for freshmen; the unique Blount Undergraduate Initiative; independent research and creative activities; study of critical languages; internships; international study; individualized degree programs; and a rich cultural life in music, theatre, dance, and creative writing.
Many freshmen in the College of Arts and Sciences explore different disciplines before choosing their majors. Through the Clark Advising Program, part of the A&S Student Services Center, such students are offered individualized advising for premajor and preprofessional fields (premedical, predental, and prelaw, among others). More information is available on p. 63 and 106-110.
The Blount Undergraduate Initiative, described on p. 63, provides the intensive, exciting, and challenging world of a small liberal-arts college within a major research university. While pursuing a variety of majors within the College, Blount students explore the intersections of knowledge through a specially designed freshman foundation course, integrative seminars in the sophomore and junior years, an individualized living-learning experience, and a special senior course. Blount scholars share a freshman-year residency in a living-learning center and, as upperclassmen, continue working with faculty in the program's academic houses. More information concerning the Blount Undergraduate Initiative is available through the Blount Undergraduate Initiative office and the A&S Student Services Center.
Students are encouraged to become involved in independent research and creative activities, ranging from exploring the building blocks of the universe to choreographing dance programs. Interested students are encouraged to contact their academic advisers or faculty members in the areas in which they wish to do independent work.
Students are also offered unique learning experiences through the College's Critical Languages Center, in which students may use traditional and nontraditional approaches to study languages rarely offered in American universities. These include Arabic, Hindi, Swahili, and Dutch. See p. 92 for more information.
Several departments, including political science, English, and criminal justice, offer internships through which students can gain professional experience. Internship information is available in each department and in the A&S Student Services Center.
Students are also encouraged to study overseas through University- and College-sponsored programs. See "Capstone International," p. 55, for more information. Students may apply to obtain limited financial support for international study by contacting the scholarship coordinator in the A&S Student Services Center.
Through New College and student-designed programs, students may develop unique degree programs. Students work with faculty to plan individualized programs of study focused on issues that are best studied from different disciplinary perspectives. More information is available on p. 100 and 111, in the New College office, and in the A&S Student Services Center.
Culverhouse College of Commerce and Business Administration
Faculty Scholars Program
The Faculty Scholars Program matches 10 sophomore students in the Culverhouse College of Commerce and Business Administration with 10 faculty members in relationships in which the students assist the faculty members in research and teaching activities. The 10 students are known as faculty scholars, while the participating faculty members are called faculty mentors.
Each faculty scholar is assigned to work with the faculty mentor for 10 hours per week. The work experience may be quite varied, depending upon the interests and backgrounds of the students and faculty members. The following are examples of activities that may be involved: assisting with research, developing computer programs, processing data, assisting in developing teaching materials, and assisting with committee work.
Compensation for a faculty scholar is increased each year to reflect the faculty scholar's increasing ability and experience. The program is to provide highly qualified and motivated students with opportunities to interact with faculty members as apprentices. At the end of the sophomore year, each faculty scholar will come to know a faculty member better than most graduating seniors.
Friedman Hall
The Culverhouse College of Commerce and Business Administration and the Office of Residential Life collaborated to create the C&BA Living Option in Friedman Hall. The mission of the C&BA Living Option is to provide the residents with the opportunity for academic and personal development outside the classroom. Inherent to the success of this mission is the active participation by the Friedman Hall residents and C&BA faculty and staff members in the programs and activities scheduled throughout the year.
Friedman Hall has two M.B.A. students to serve as program manager and facility manager, respectively. Resident assistants are upper-division students with a wide variety of C&BA majors to assist residents with questions about the College. The C&BA faculty-in-residence sets the tone for the program to connect in-class instruction with out-of-class experiences.
Specialized academic advising, programming, and special events and activities are available to the C&BA Friedman Hall residents. The C&BA Living Option Hall Council serves as a liaison between the programming staff and resident assistants and students. This residential facility is a model for more academic influence in campus living.
Dual Major in Business and Foreign Language
The modern business environment is truly global and the dual major provides students with training necessary to succeed in that environment. The dual-major student completes a degree and a major in management, marketing, economics, or finance, as well as a second major in French, Spanish, German, or Russian. The result is a superior skill set derived from cutting-edge business training and thorough study of a language and the culture associated with it. Such a program creates students who are technically proficient, culturally sensitive, and flexible enough to deal with the business challenges of the future.
Dual Major in Economics and Mathematics
The dual major in economics and mathematics is for students with strong quantitative skills to be applied in economics. This curriculum involves forecasting and the understanding of economic modeling. Also, students with this mathematical background usually pursue an economic doctoral degree. Students in this degree program are enrolled in the Culverhouse College of Commerce and Business Administration but the curriculum is determined jointly by C&BA and the College of Arts and Sciences.
Dual Major in Finance and Mathematics
The dual major in finance and mathematics is for students with strong quantitative skills to be applied in finance. This curriculum is for students with an understanding of financial modeling or who intend to pursue a graduate degree. Students in this degree program are enrolled in the Culverhouse College of Commerce and Business Administration but the curriculum is determined jointly by C&BA and the College of Arts and Sciences.
College of Continuing Studies
The Division of Academic Outreach offers practicum opportunities for on-campus students. Dependable students are needed for positions as audiovisual student workers. Interested students can expect to learn to operate state-of-the-art technical studios, develop hands-on video equipment skills, supervise video classes, and gain some exposure to new technology. Academic Outreach can schedule student work around class schedules.
Students must maintain a 2.5 GPA (minimum), and preference will be given to students who have taken TCF 150.

Silly that in the tech specs they say it's leather and then clearly state that it's synthetic. wtf?
Hey Filippo,
Thanks for pointing out this content mistake. This is a synthetic saddle and does not use any leather. We have filed to correct the tech specs so hopefully that will be updated to reflect the correct material soon. Let us know if you need help finding a saddle that fits your needs.
Awesome Customer Service
I already have this saddle and for the weight, price, and comfort you can't beat it. I ordered one to replace the stock saddle on my new 29er and UPS lost it. One call to Backcountry and a replacement is on the way. Excellent customer service.

Little over a week ago, rapper Game revealed that he's enlisted Young Jeezy and Future for the second single off his upcoming fifth album Jesus Piece. Now, in a recent interview with MTV, the Compton emcee adds to the list of features for his impending release.
Game explained that he views Jesus Piece, which is scheduled for a December 11 release, as an updated version of Dr. Dre's The Chronic with regards to the features. He said that the LP will boast a good number of features, including 2 Chainz, Rick Ross and Meek Mill. Game also added that the album will not be an overly religious affair, as some may have assumed from the title.
"The thing about the Jesus Piece is, it's kinda like a 2012 Chronic album, if you will - I'm on it, and I'm on it a hell of a lot, but I got a lot of features," he said. "I wanted to get all of the dope Hip Hop artists that are dope now that are friends of mines — from 2 Chainz to Ross to Meek Mill — and I wanted everybody to co-exist on this dope Hip Hop album under this concept, which is Jesus Piece, 'cause we all be rockin' Jesus pieces."
He continued, "It's not a Christian album, it's not an album that's strictly about church or nothin'. It's just a constant battle with religion and street life and Hip Hop and lyricism and bitches and your wife and your kids and just the struggle."

Even though, I'm still a bit wet behind the ears being only 22 years old, I'm pretty confident I know my way around a city, around a room, and around sports. That said, I'm all too familiar with the repetitive rhetoric blared at a deafening volume that concerns the constant battle on where the line is that defines an athlete between an "amateur" and "professional."
To be truly noticed on the national recruiting map, high school athletes have to replace time spent renting the limo for junior prom or focusing solely on studying for Advanced Placement exams with such activities as gearing up for another college spring camp or squeezing in studying for Advanced Placement exams on their way to a scouting combine to raise their recruiting profile.
As essential as combines have become in today's recruiting scene, at their core, they essentially filter out the athlete's performances into digestible numbers to be crunched and plotted on a chart. This practice literally rips the soul out of whatever sport that athlete plays.
Combines rob the sport of its poetry and its narrative.
Now there's no denying that Broad Run High School's sophomore pitcher AJ Powell's stats can be broken down into some seriously gleaming numbers. The hurler has tossed three no-hitters this season alone, one of them being a perfect game. And it's arguable that Powell is not even the best pitcher on the Spartan's staff. Broad Run also boasts senior ace Taylor Clarke who is committed to go to Towson.
So with two aces on a staff, a coach would be tempted to roll out each pitcher on every other start and just rack up the wins, bright futures at Towson and beyond, be damned. That dilemma stares skipper Patrick Cassidy in the face this season, even though it's tempting, Cassidy coached only two no-hitters in his first 15 years at the helm in Ashburn.
"You have to be careful on how you use a pitcher for their future," said Cassidy. Cassidy manages his pitchers to 70-80 pitches at the season's outset and come district and regional playoff time, he bumps up his pitchers' counts to 80 to 95 pitches.
Pitch count is essential in baseball as both as barometer to see how good a pitcher is (the lower the pitch count, typically the more efficient and effective said pitcher is), as well as a safety measure.
Local fans are well aware of the overly delicate kid gloves the Nationals have used when handling the development of Stephen Strausberg with his maturing into the major leagues, the couple games he threw in, and now his recovery from Tommy John surgery.
In that tiny bit of space between the rock and the hard place, Cassidy finds he doesn't have much room for error. Obviously, the coach wants to bring home the Dulles District title. At the same token, Cassidy doesn't want to burn out his pitching staff for bigger games this season and future scheduled starts on different pitching mounds for the sophomore.
Fortunately, for Cassidy, Broad Run has made a habit of wrapping up games by the virtue of the "Mercy Rule," a 10 run differential by the 5th inning, instituted by the Virginia High School League, the governing body of public school athletics. Cassidy says his offense's production has been so good, often his pitchers don't have to pitch the full game, hence keep their arms fresh.
But in cases where the games are close, Cassidy has to come to the decision to let the foot off the gas by pulling his starters and dipping into his bullpen.
"The problem is (the players are) 15- or 16-years-old and they don't want to disappoint their coaches," said Cassidy.
It would appear Cassidy has an embarrassment of riches: dominant pitchers who are locked in on performing in the moment and who haven't gotten around to thinking about their playing futures yet.
To me, that state of mind is fascinating. Athletic brilliance? Desire to win? Sacrificing your body for the team? Those are all qualities that are a part of the make-up for a professional athlete. So much what makes pros good is that drive to win, and you can see that bleed in a little bit into the amateur ranks. And good for Cassidy to recognize that and manage his roster.
The essence of sports is in that desire to succeed. I'm all about sportsmanship and l'esprit de competition, but really sports are about investing effort to earn a successful outcome.
All the combines in the world can't measure that.
