Think before you saddle up, and strap on the Alpinestars A-Line Knee/Shin Guards. They're specifically designed for riders pushing their limits, whether you're a certified hotshot, or just getting into the sport. The A-Line has a tough outer polypropylene shell for protection, backed with a soft Biofoam padding for extra comfort. The reference to arguably the world's most famous jump trail isn't a coincidence — these are designed to keep you protected, even when your season starts getting rowdy.
Vented plastic panels promote cooling when you're pushing the pace, which is important, since hardshell pads like the A-Line can get warm pretty quickly. The adjustable hook-and-loop strapping system ensures these pads stay put, and the hard polypropylene shell shrugs off all but the very hardest of impacts. The shell is backed by Biofoam padding, helping to further reduce the chance of injury. They're not a magic bullet, but they'll go a long way to making sure that your next crash is a quick walk-off, not a season write-off.
The Alpinestars A-Line Knee/Shin Guards are available in two sizes, from S/M to L/XL, and in the color Black/white.
- Polypropylene hard-shell pads
- Soft Biofoam padding
- Ventilated panels
- Hook-and-loop strap

Have not used them yet...
I have pretty skinny legs and they seem to fit really well. I think they are going to work out great whenever spring comes and i can actually put them to the test.

We are running the latest NE 4.0 on OS X Servers. Does anyone know if one can administer the instances of Zimbra, meaning say the logger goes down, or the antivirus, antispam service etc. I would want this monitoring app to send out a notification to our staff.
We currently use Nagios to monitor, POP3, SMTP, IMAP, etc...was wondering if one can monitor the others with Nagios or other app.
Thanks in Advance

Breastfeed to give your baby the best start in life and natural protection against common infections. If you cannot breastfeed, ask about safe alternatives.
Room-in together so you can respond to your baby's cues and feel more comfortable caring for your baby before you go home. Studies show that mothers do not actually get more rest if babies are in the nursery.
Please do not sleep with your baby in your bed or chair. Babies have fallen out of parents' arms to the floor when a parent has fallen asleep.
Place your baby on his or her back to sleep. This decreases the risk of sudden infant death.
Never shake a baby! Ask about ways to calm a crying baby and cope with crying.
Have a tobacco-free home.
Ensure a safe ride home in an approved infant car seat placed in the back seat facing the rear. Ensure that your infant car seat is installed correctly (call 211 for testing sites) or visit ctsafekids.org.
Rest as much as possible – arrange for help in the first few weeks.

Roger Federer's feeling blue in Melbourne but not because of his first round match.
The 3-time Aussie Open champ got past pesky Italian veteran Andreas Seppi 6-1, 7-6 (4), 7-5 even though he struggled somewhat with his serve. Fed hit 5 double faults and only connected with 59% of his first serve deliveries but still managed to hit 9 aces in the match. He'll next face Russian Evgeny Korolev for a place in the third round.
So when I previewed Regal Rog's Nike duds for Melbourne I wrote that the sketches, though clean + classic, looked a bit stale but I would wait to see the gear on him to give a final verdict. Lucky I did: the outfit is quite striking. The concord blue in the outfit leans more towards a deeper shade of cobalt and the shadow striping on the shirt, the piping on the polo's placket + cuffs, and the tuxedo-style side stripe on the shorts give nice texture and elegance to these duds.
And, BONUS, Fed was looking kinda sexy strolling out in his grey warmup jacket (could it be the new 'do too?). Yums.
Nice moves, Regal Rog. Nice moves.

Bit more of a vibrant color than what we usually see on him but overall package was nice. Could almost blend into the court to confuse opponents though.ReplyDelete

OOH YUMMY! He looks so good in blue.ReplyDelete
I'm really liking the blue and white on him. He looks really fresh and crisp - making him look cool even though it must be like steam bath in there. The new shorter do is a winner.ReplyDelete
I also like how when his shirt rides up we get a flash of lovely matching blue belt. Niiiiice.
Am I the ONLY one who suddenly thinks he's DAMN hot??!?!? I love this getup on him! The color, the gray sweats, THE HAIRCUT!!!ReplyDelete
I watched the match live and the colour looks really good on him. The details are also very nice, but I hate the new hairdo.ReplyDelete
I liked the preview we saw, and I llloved it on him when we saw it for real.ReplyDelete
He IS getting hotter, especially when his new 'do grows out a bit.ReplyDelete
But there's def something sexy going on with him, and I'm not giving Mirka any credit. She needs to step her game or watch out.
*begins plotting RoKa breakup scheme*
There are sharks in the water...
@babz - and here I was trying to be subtle talking about belts and stuff. What I meant was Roger is looking seriously omfg hot!!ReplyDelete
belle - honey, subtlety is great and all, but really it's just us. You can say whatever you want! Hormones don't lie! :DReplyDelete
Rich - I definitely agree. It's like he put on a new mantel of aura or something. me likey.
It's about time people recognize Roger's hotness. That dude definitely has a very sexy aura around him.ReplyDelete

Wow. He looks...really, really good. I didn't like the new haircut at first but I am definitely warming up to it. And the color is heaven on him. I would elaborate more but I think I might faint...*swoon*ReplyDelete
I always thought he was hot, but now he's REALLY REALLY HOT.ReplyDelete
Plus he does look like he added some much-needed pounds in all the right places.ReplyDelete
*still in shock over Fed lust*
He is always the best dressed man on a tennis court. His outfits are always so much better tailored then some of those baggy montrocities we see a lot of the tike.ReplyDelete
I gotta tell you: Rog is hot in Australia.ReplyDelete
I'll never forget the day he won his first Aussie Open and the trophy was handed over by Rod Laver, and Rog started crying uncontrollably. Oh how I fell in love with him then. I can't resist a crying man. Sigh.
sarah: I also think, surprisingly, Tomas Berdych always look well put together, similar to Fed. I always like his style too.ReplyDelete
sonja: "I can't resist a crying man."
me neither, it's when they're most vulnerable and in need of "comfort". it's all about taking your opportunities.
tap me when you spot nole weeping somewhere (and jelena out of sight). don't ask.

Love the cobalt blue especially against the color of the court. Love the shorts with the tuxedo alt color tuxedo stripe. One of his best ensembles thus far!ReplyDelete
If you'd like to, Rich, I could pinch Nole real hard or maybe hide his HEAD rackets. He'll be bawling like a baby!ReplyDelete
Besides the famous hair, I've always thought that Roger has some of the best looking legs in the mens game (even with the fur.)ReplyDelete
And he wears his clothes so well - I think it has something to do with his shoulders.
Anyways - all I care about is that his game is looking good right now. He's not going to beat Safin in the looks department.

Just when you thought Maisy's creator could not come up with anything new, here comes an amazing young science book. It's a pull the tab book that that shows foot power as Maisy walks, pedal power as she rides her bike, Steam power on a train with a smokestack and smoke that rises! Cousins did not forget wind power to move a sail boat, hot air for a balloon that rises above the pages, and sparks fly as an electric trolley moves forward and last of all, a space ship that rises with rocket fuel. Each of the pop up images is executed with great style. You will want to keep this on a high shelf between readings or the pop up pages will not go far. That said, this is a gem!

It seems Maria Sharapova has given the boot (or stiletto as it were) to former flame Charlie Ebersol for Slovenian-born Sasha Vujacic, the #18-wearing guard for the LA Lakers according to Matt Cronin's tweet today.
I guess Shrieka had other reasons for wanting Charlie to take her that Lakers game for a "date." Sneaky.

Interesting fortress. I like the star shape, specially the one on the "super-aged version", I think I've seen something like this, but can't remember where '-'
Anyway, nice work

Classic fortress design.. I like it. Your work is always top-notch! The perspective/ orientation of the rooms in The Broken Clock Wing seemed a little wonky considering how well everything else lined up. But other than that, for something you just
"whipped up" still great.
Thanks, glad you like it!
I agree, the perspective turned out a bit weird on that wing - which is funny, since I worked on a flat plan before shifting it into perspective. I thought about doing something about it but ... bedtime interfered.
Cool. Looks very good.
Cool, I've seen some pictures of old forts that look like this design.

Cool fort, but it seems like the only entrance is in the beast wing, at a crumbling doorway some 20 feet above the ground...
I guess it is quite defensible, in that case, but I'm wondering how it gets supplied, etc.
They have a magical beast that eats moonshine and excretes pellets of soldier food ... for water they have a small well.

Pécs : Michelin's recommendations
Pécs was a prestigious town in the Middle Ages thanks to its bishops, one of whom was the famous Janus Pannonius. The very first university in Hungary was set up here in 1367. The Ottoman period (1453-1686) was brilliant, with the Turks contributing to the town's cultural development and building many mosques. After a long period of neglect, Pécs slowly came back to life and is a popular place today with its sparkling wine, Mediterranean atmosphere and art museums.

Showing his HandWritten by on January 26, 2006 Contributors: Johnny Hunkins Inside Lennart Bergquist's Winning Big-Block Chevy
What does it take to bring home the gold in the Jeg's Engine Masters Challenge? If you try to pick up clues from a casual look around Lennart and Birgitta Bergquist's 509 cubic-inch Chevy big-block, you might just be left puzzled. After all, this is the engine that put down a crushing 1,288 score to eclipse the output of all other contenders, delivering an unheard of 851hp at only 6,400rpm, on pump gas. Equally impressive was the torque, bending the strain gauge to record as much as 750-lb-ft in the finals. That's a specific torque output of 1.47-lb-ft per cube for the Autoshop Racing Engines entry, a level that is seldom seen. At an offhand glance, the engine could easily be mistaken for a typical bracket-race mill, but as we have come to find out, Lennart's ways are much more about the details than the outlandish. Lennart confessed, "There's more than meets the eye, you know, when you first see this motor it looks like a crate motor from the mail order."
In general terms, Lennart's overall philosophy was about three ingredients. As he put it, "Number one, you have to have a good air pump; you have to push the air in and out of the motor effectively to make horsepower. Secondly, you have to have a good air/fuel mixture to put in there, and thirdly, you have to have very little friction, as little friction as you can build. For the friction part, you have to go to some lengths to make sure that there is very little friction. For example, I made a tool out of a fish scale that I could hook up to the camshaft and rotate it. I had adjustable pushrods so that the length could be adjusted and determined the exact length that took the least effort to turn the cam around. I just experimented with it until I found the best geometry. Similarly, I made a tool to adjust the link bar between the roller lifters to find any binding. I kept tweaking on the link bar until there was nothing but smoothness." Basically Lennart fine-tuned the details to an amazing degree.One of the major sources of friction in an engine is the action of the pistons and rings on the cylinder walls. Here Lennart did the same thing, trying different rings and honing techniques, and pulling pistons with a scale to gauge friction. Lennart told PHR: "Believe it or not, the least friction and best ring seating technique was to have a fairly rough stone to hone the cylinders with and then using a brush to knock the peaks off the honing cross hatch. When we ran really fine stones we didn't improve anything as far as friction but lost all the oil control. The hassle is getting low friction with good oil control. You can have a low-friction motor, but with no oil control, and you don't want to do that. After the brushing, the cylinders have good texture and cross hatch to seal the rings, but feel as smooth as glass. If you feel the exhaust ports and they are a little wet in there, it's a lack of oil control; mine were absolutely dry." During the tear-downs, we did notice the beautiful condition of the bores after the competition, with no scuffing or signs of distress at all. A custom set of CP pistons was made for this application, keeping the compression ratio at a modest 11.5:1, with the aim of avoiding detonation. The compression rings are SpeedPro, with moly 0.043-inch units gapped at 0.022 inch at the top groove, and like-sized iron second rings, gapped at 0.028 inch. The oil rings are 3mm, also from SpeedPro. The ring seal is optimized by gas ports in the pistons, while the overall package exhibits very low friction. Evidence of this was the mere 12-lb-ft of torque required to spin the completed short-block.
The same level of attention to detail continued into the crankshaft. Lennart explained, "You need a good quality crankshaft, as light as possible, with as small a counterweight diameter as practical, and it has to be as stiff as possible so it stays straight and doesn't flex when you put a load to it." The crank is a custom billet piece by Sonny Bryant, with the counterweights cut to clear a 6.300-inch rod length, even though the rods used actually measured 6.350-inches. The balance was made up with heavy metal. The crank weight is just 52-lbs, a flyweight for a 4.500-inch stroke big-block crank. Further reducing friction and oil flow, the crank was cut with 1.88-inch rod journals, and the main bearings were narrowed. Lennart figured if the aim was to win, he needed something a little extra, and friction reduction was one of his areas of greater focus.
Windage control followed the theme of doing as much as possible to keep the engine from working against itself. Lennart pointed out, "Windage is another reason to have counterweights as small as possible; the smaller the counterweights, the further away from the block and bottom of the pan they will be. I didn't want to have any oil drainback at all over the rotating assembly, so I used roller cam bearings and blocked the oil to the cam journals and blocked the drains in the valley so that the oil would drain at the front of the crankshaft. We had to run five quarts of oil, and I took the time to figure out where that oil will be during a run, and did what I could to put it where I wanted."
Friction abatement and oil control are measures to prevent power losses, while cam and compression, heads and induction are what Lennart refers to as the air pump. "The air pump in general is how much you can pull through the carburetor, the intake manifold, and head, and how good you can move it out of there again." Obviously, the goal was to make this system work efficiently. Lennart reports that he had tried other cylinder heads that were better on the flow bench, but they were not as efficient in this rpm range when run on the engine. The Brodix heads were ported with relatively small bowls, and quite a bit of attention was paid to cross-sectional area all the way through the ports. Lennart told us, "The head shrinks, getting smaller from the port opening to the shortside turn, and then stays pretty consistent from there to the seat." The port throat is sized to 90 percent of the 2.300-inch intake valve major diameter. The final port volume is relatively small, 296cc on the short runners and 301cc on the longer runners.
One of the challenges was to make the engine operate efficiently over the competition's low rpm range. In testing, Lennart found that if a parts combination on the dyno did not make good torque at 2,500rpm, the engine never really recovered, and would be down all the way up to the top of the range. The aim was to get a combination to make over 600-lb-ft right from 2,500. That was the trick to this portion of development, finding the combination of heads, cam, and induction that would be effective over the full rpm range. Interestingly, this dyno development was done at Lennart's Florida shop running 89-octane fuel. The idea was to avoid detonation with the 91-octane fuel in the heavier air at the competition in Long Island. The most unusual aspect of the "air-pump" combination was the use of a 4150-series carb, a Taco-modified Holley 1000 HP. Ironically, Lennart's engine was the only one in the competition not to run the larger 4500 Dominator-style carb. One of the things that caught our eye after the competition was the condition of the spark plugs-they looked like new. Lennart attributes that to air/fuel ratio: "It's not as easy as it sounds to get a flat air/fuel mixture in this rpm range from 2,500-6,500rpm. I kept it within a few tenths of a ratio. That's part of the trick, to have it fuel correctly to produce power at the bottom of the pull. Lots of guys want to run it fat down there to help cool it down a little, but then you lose power, and the engine will never really recover. Distribution also plays a part, getting it right from cylinder to cylinder. To do it, everything is exact, the carburetor, the manifold, the porting, even the air cleaner." Judging by the results, we'd have to say that it appears as if Lennart did just that-got everything exact. Those are the qualities in an engine build that are a little hard to pick up on at first glance.

The Autoshop Racing Engines' 509-cid big-block Chevy put down numbers that were hard to believe and few expected: 851hp on ordinary 91-octane pump gas. The basic appearance of the engine belies the attention to detail hidden within.At the front of the engine, we see a collection of top-notch aftermarket parts, but nothing that can be considered one-off or exotic. The Jesel belt drive allows the cam phasing to be fine-tuned for the best average power, while the Meziere water pump prevents a power loss from driving the cooling system mechanically. The TCI Rattler damper helps the lightweight crank live under the abuse.Lennart found that there was power to be had in the air filter case. The domed profile is contoured to aid directing flow into the carb throat, and there was a definite improvement recorded, especially at above 5,000rpm.Lennart equipped the big-block with an ignition system composed of all MSD components. In the Engine Masters event there is no room for error in the ignition and this system performed flawlessly.One engine builder chose to run a puny 4150 carb in a sea of Dominators and King Demons, and it happened to be the builder that made the most outright power. Lennart attributed the great fuel distribution and ratio curve to the carb, a 1,000 HP Holley, modified by Taco. He related that after changing jets and air-bleeds and trying other tuning, the best setting turned out to be as it came from Taco.Does this look like a plug that has survived more than a dozen 850hp dyno pulls? The ACCEL plugs looked practically new, thanks to excellent mixture control, a lack of detonation, and outstanding oil control.The Brodix intake manifold is actually designed to run a 4500-series carb, and the spacer is actually an insert that adapts the smaller 4150 carb. The unconventional stepped transition where the spacer meets the runner roof is intentional. Lennart employs the step to dampen reversion pulses, in a manner somewhat akin to a sheer plate. Note the porting in the plenum and runners, credited for aiding distribution.
The cylinder head port saw the same attention to detail. The cross-sectional area was carefully sized throughout, and though these heads were not the highest flowing units Lennart tested, at about 380-cfm peak they made the most power. Lennart pointed out that on the flow bench they sounded dead smooth and quiet.The chamber side reveals the small bowls under the valves. The sizing was intentional with the constraint of the test rpm range determining the shape. The large 2.300-inch intake valves work with a 90 percent throat under the seat, helping create a venturi. The valve seat angles are conventional.Inside the valley, we see the standpipes, preventing oil drainback over the rotating assembly, forcing it to the front of the engine. What isn't seen are the roller cam bearings and blocked oil galleys, keeping oil away from the spinning parts.At first glance, the valvetrain looks like a collection of typical quality aftermarket pieces. What's more difficult to notice is the love-rubbing and massaging that went into each part. The Manley valvesprings were polished, then coated to reduce friction.From the front of the valley, draining oil is guided to the front of the pan, shielded from the spinning crank by this fabricated baffle. A crank has a much harder time trying to spin through oil, and that robs power.To further reduce windage losses, the crank features counterweights that are both contoured, and cut to a small radius. Note how far from the pan's rail the counterweights swing. The counterweight mass is made up of heavy metal.A large oil filter was used, though we suspect it was not just selected to assure exceptional dirt holding capacity, but rather for its ability to park a good portion of the required five quarts of oil.Lennart chose a Sonny Bryant billet crank so that it could be made stiff and light. The rod journals are 1.88-inch. Notice that the main bearing inserts are cut down, making them significantly narrower to reduce the surface area.
The gas ports work in conjunction with 0.043-inch compression rings. The narrow rings have less radial tension than larger cross-section rings, which reduces bore friction. The gas ports provide combustion pressure directed to the back of the ring land to augment the ring tension when on the power stroke. The result is very low tension on the walls for three of the four strokes up and down the bore, yet plenty of seal when needed.

Hi there,
After searching the forum I discovered that at least three people are insterested in (or already working on) the French translation : smarz, bcornec and B-as-in-B. Well, you can add me to the list
I already sent an email to smarz. How could I know the current state of translation ?

The skin around our eyes is some of the most sensitive on our entire bodies. Delicate and fragile, the area under and beside our eyes is particularly susceptible to dryness and signs of aging. Furthermore, the capillaries under the skin in the area can easily become damaged, which results in discoloration. Temporary inflammation and puffiness as well as more permanent bags can also plague the eye area. The Obagi Eye Products collection was designed specifically for the sensitive area around the eyes to help minimize these problems that plague the eye area.
The Obagi Eye Products collection contains a host of products designed to meet a particular need. From formulas developed to firm and tone to blends designed to moisturize and revitalize, the Obagi Eye Products line has something for everyone. Each offering in the Obagi Eye Products collection is carefully reviewed by both dermatologists and ophthalmologists to assure that their ingredients are the very safest available. As a result, you can rest assured that the product you select will be effective, but gentle enough for your most delicate skin.
The leading skin experts at Obagi have developed the Obagi Eye Products line to help soothe, heal and strengthen the sensitive skin in the eye area. The products contain safe, but powerful ingredients meant to banish dark circles, minimize bags and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Whatever your skin type, there is an eye product in the collection designed with you in mind.
Obagi ELASTIderm Eye Treatment Cream is a powerful nighttime formula meant to enrich the tone of the eye area while you sleep. The scientific formula promotes the regeneration of collagen to tone and strengthen the delicate eye area. As a result, you'll notice a visible change in your skin in as little as two weeks.
Obagi ELASTIderm Eye Gel is a partner to the eye treatment cream. Used after your morning cleansing routine, the eye gel contains a bi-mineral complex that further increases elastin production. Like the eye treatment cream, the gel has been shown to increase skin elasticity by 46 percent within nine weeks with regular use. The products also have shown a 16 percent reduction in fine lines during that time frame.
Obagi Nu-Derm Eye Cream is the perfect remedy for dryness around the eyes. The revolutionary formula is enhanced with natural ingredients like lanolin, beeswax and safflower oil. These natural ingredients penetrate deep into the skin, delivering rich nutrients to tone and hydrate the tissue. The formula also helps with skin cell rejuvenation to keep the complexion looking young.

Twenty years ago, the establishment of democratically elected governments in many Central and East European countries sparked new hope that people in this region would be able to address – and redress – wrongs committed decades ago. More broadly, it was a time of energy and engagement on a host of unfinished business.
As the Helsinki Commission began to examine some of these issues, we convened our first hearing on property claims issues in 1996 – and Ambassador Eizenstat was our first witness. Unfortunately, it has now been close to 15 years since that event, and our work is still not done.
In the intervening years, there have been many hearings and briefings. There have been countless letters to and meetings with foreign officials, and numerous resolutions in this Congress as well as in the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly. And still, our work is not done.
I was therefore heartened when the Czech Government agreed to host a conference to examine outstanding issues relating to Holocaust-era assets. I introduced a resolution in the Senate (S. Con. Res. 23), specifically commanding the Czech Government and supporting the goals of the Prague Conference. Separately, I cosponsored Sen. Nelson's resolution on the specific problem of restitution of or compensation for property seized Nazi and Communist eras (S. Res. 153).
I do want to take a minute to express concern about two countries that were mentioned by name in the Senate resolution.
First, it was noted that successive governments in Poland have promised to adopt an effective general property compensation law, but no government has yet to do so.
I understand that this is a particularly complex problem in Poland. Poland probably had greater border changes and more population transfers or expulsions at the end of the war than any other country in the region. And the confiscations carried out during the Nazi occupation were compounded by confiscations undertaken by the Polish communist regime.
In other words, addressing this issue in Poland may be especially challenging – but I do not believe it is impossible. Indeed, the adoption of a limited property compensation law in 2005, for Poles who were originally from territory beyond the Bug River, was a useful start to addressing private property claims - but it should not be the end. Every major political party in Poland has supported draft legislation on property compensation and I hope that the Prime Minister will be able to carry through on his stated commitment to see a general property law adopted.
Second, the resolution we introduced last year also drew attention to the situation in Lithuania. Unfortunately, Lithuania's 1995 law on the return of property to religious associations is needlessly restrictive. I hope the government of Lithuania will fulfill promises it has made to revisit this legal framework and ensure that communal property -- not limited to houses of worship only, but also including, for example, schools -- is returned.
I am honored to have testifying before us today Ambassador Stuart Eizenstat. His full biography is available, but I want to note he is singularly qualified to address the subject of our hearing.
Ambassador Eizenstat is our former U.S. Ambassador to the European Union. In the 1990s, he led the negotiations for the United States with the Swiss, German, Austrian, and French private sectors and their governments on Holocaust-era bank accounts, slave and forced labor, unpaid insurance policies, immovable property, and the restitution of or compensation for stolen communal and private property. Last year, he led the U.S. delegation to the Prague Conference, and he has just returned from follow up discussion in the Czech capital.
As Lord Janner said of him at the Conference in Prague last year, Stuart Eizenstat has "labored through endless complexities to secure tangible results." Ambassador Eizenstat, thank you for joining us.

Buildings breathe.
And their respiration affects indoor environmental quality and the health and comfort of everyone inside.
Architects and building owners are beginning to realize that healthier and more comfortable building occupants are happier and more productive. As a result, many of today's sustainable building designs take the issue of indoor environmental quality (IEQ) that includes comfort into consideration. To achieve IEQ designers focus on comfort from four different perspectives:
There are six factors to consider when evaluating the conditions for optimal thermal comfort. A robust analysis will include measuring:
Visual comfort is part practical and part aesthetic. It employs such strategies as artificial lighting, day lighting and creating visually interesting environments.
Acoustical control is another method of enhancing occupant comfort that is currently receiving attention in the design community. Creating superior acoustical environments in open plan office spaces, healthcare facilities and schools to improve speech intelligibility and privacy is the primary goal.
Improving indoor air quality (IAQ) is a subtle balance of proper ventilation rates, managing volatile organic compounds, air temperature, humidity levels, water and light.
IAQ requirements are addressed in specific standards that spell out minimum ventilation rates for new construction, as well as information on improving IAQ in existing buildings. They also provide lists of maximum contaminant levels for those spaces to maintain acceptable IAQ, which in turn minimizes the potential for adverse health effects on building occupants.
Through our videos, articles, white papers, educational presentations and literature you will better understand the design practices and standards available to improve a buildings indoor environmental quality, including:

text: By Pastor Vince CarrigSports Writer Hershey guards stole dribbles and traded them for points, plus swing forward Maegan Hiatt made jump shooting look easy as the Lady Panthers rolled Perkins County right out of the NSAA playoffs with a 54-29 rout at the McCook Community College Events Center last Tuesday (Feb. 12). Senior guard Daynlee Miller stole two dribbles for breakaway layups and Hershey dominated the offensive glass with eight rebounds for a 15-2 blowout first quarter that basically determined the game's outcome. "In the first quarter, we did not do a very good job 'boxing out' rebounders," said Lady Plainsmen Head Coach Deanne Bishop after the game. "We gave them too many second and third-chance opportunities to make shots, and Hershey capitalized on those opportunities." The Lady Panthers found success with their pressing front-court defense, influencing nine first quarter Perkins County dribbling turnovers. Besides the ones that ended up in Perkins County's basket, the turnovers blunted the Lady Plainsmen's offense to just three field goal attempts in the first, with only Shania Metcalf scoring from eight feet away. Perkins County turned over its first four possessions of the game. Guard Brooke Frederick sent Perkins County into timeout by stripping yet another dribble and turning the score to 24-3 in Hershey's favor with 5:24 left in the second quarter. Frederick complied with another breakaway heist and Hiatt swished a pair of jumpers as things got out of Perkins County's hands, trailing by 26 points at halftime. Forward Tayler Baker's three pointer wrapped a bow on the Lady Panthers' domination of the second quarter. A miniature Lady Plainsmen comeback of sorts had cut Hershey's lead to 20 points in the second quarter, with Jessi Hoffert left alone off an inbounds pass to strike for three points and Courtney Ostermiller's high 14-footer off the glass found netting to make the score 28-8. Forward Courtney McClenahan hit two mid-range jump shots and two free throws to give Perkins County an 11-8 victory in the third quarter. But Baker nailed two jumpers with no problem to inflate C2 sub-district 11 top-seed Hershey's lead to 46-19 in the third quarter. Miller ruled the fourth quarter's early minutes. Smelling "garbage time," the adroit left-hander circled the arc by dribbling through her legs, slipped defenders, hung in the air, and passed around a final defender to give reserve guard Lenna Young her only points of the game. Miller had already gotten a foul line jumper to roll down and succeeded on a pair of free throws in the fourth quarter. Senior Lady Plainsmen guard Michi Prante drilled five free throws in six chances in her final high school game. Center Maddie Seamann's four offensive rebounds in the first quarter generated a three-point play for her and other Lady Panthers in the first quarter. Hershey advanced only to lose the sub-district title to North Platte St. Pat's, 49-43 on Friday. Jessi Hoffert hit three triples in just four attempts and cleaned off five defensive rebounds for the 13-9 Lady Plainsmen. "This squad has been battling injuries and illnesses all season," Coach Bishop said. "Tonight we were without a few key contributors [Matisyn Humphrey, Carlie Waitley, Brandie Ross], but I was proud that the girls who did play were always hustling and played with pride." The 2013-14 Lady Plainsmen will lose starters Metcalf, Humphrey, Prante, and Jessi Hoffert to graduation in May.

* Winter Craft: Snowflake Printmaking Project Using Found Objects
This project can be found in my Winter Fun eBook.
It was an art lesson I used to teach to my preschoolers and kindergarten students.
It's a bit messy but manageable, quick to do, and the results are beautiful!
For this project you will need:
* Square Paper (we use black and blue) cut into 12"x12" or 9"x9" squares
(hint: scrapbook paper comes in these sizes!)
* White washable tempera or acrylic craft paint and a plate or dish
* Found Objects: Popsicle sticks, empty thread/ribbon spools,
foam shapes/beads, bottle caps, toothpicks, buttons, etc.
1. Start by dipping a popsicle stick in your white paint on the skinny edge.
Make a print (line) by pressing the skinny, painted edge of the stick
onto your paper to create 4 lines making a "plus" or "T" shape.
Then, print four more lines to create an "X" shape.
See photo below.
2. Dip objects into paint and begin printing your snowflake by
stamping each shape onto each line, one at a time.
Work your way around the design, systematically printing shapes on each "spoke"
of the snowflake.
3. Repeat with different shapes and patterns until
you have created a design that makes you happy.
You will need to dip your shapes into the paint to "re-ink" several times.
Hint: Keep a rag, washcloth, or baby wipe nearby to clean up messy hands and fingers!
Even big sister likes to make these!
Fun for your whole family or classroom.
No two snowflakes will be alike - just like real ones!
Make as many as you wish, when they are dry hang up and display.
Happy Winter Printmaking!

Baby giraffe born at Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens
Published: Tuesday, February 26, 2013 at 8:33 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, February 26, 2013 at 8:33 a.m.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — The Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens has a new addition — a 6-foot-2 baby giraffe.
The reticulated giraffe weighted 150 pound when he was born Feb. 21.
The Florida Times-Union reports the as-of-yet unnamed giraffe was born to the zoo's only male breeding giraffe, Duke, and a first-time mom, Luna.
Zoo officials say he stood within an hour of his birth and began nursing. The baby giraffe is remaining in the giraffe barn with his mother for now. But as the weather warms, zoo visitors may catch a glimpse of him in the giraffe holding yard as they pass by on the train.
He's the fifth giraffe calf born at the zoo in 2½ years. The zoo currently has 11 giraffes. They typically live up to 25 years in captivity.

Associated Press Release
PENSACOLA, Fla. (AP) -- A Florida Panhandle man has been sentenced to 30 years in prison for fatally shooting his half-brother because the television was too loud.
An Escambia County judge sentenced 43-year-old Michael Daly on Wednesday. He was convicted of murder in October. Prosecutors had been seeking a life sentence.
Authorities say Daly shot 19-year-old Thomas Jurkowich at their family's home in August 2009 after the younger brother refused to turn the volume down.
The Pensacola News Journal (http://on.pnj.com/VTrvqv ) reports that Daly's attorney argued during the trial that Daly was insane at the time of the shooting, pointing to the fact that he didn't try to hide his actions when he called 911.

Retired businessman Wally Hudnall has entered the race for mayor of Meridian.
Hudnall made the announcement Tuesday in Meridian's Dumont Plaza.
Hudnall is running as an independent, meaning he automatically advances to the general election.
Hudnall ran unsuccessfully for city council four years ago and ran for mayor eight years ago. he was narrowly defeated in the Republican Primary by then-mayor, John Robert Smith.
"I'm very disgusted with the crime rate, the problems for the city, the infrastructure, our streets, our sewer system, our extreme high water bills," said Hudnall. "And I intend on doing something about it. I'm going to lay down stepping stones in the right direction for future mayors that will lead to a safer and more prosperous Meridian, Miss."
Hudnall says he has a plan that he will discuss during anticipated political debates this election season.
In addition to Hudnall, incumbent Republican Mayor Cheri Barry and Democrats Percy Bland and Rod Amos are also in the race.

Trust me if I diddnt have family here like I do I would be out of here also!
Heck that didn't stop me! I do live within rock throwing distance to the California border though. I run my dog up there and sometimes pee into Cali standing on Nevada side.
Ha ha Like you guys I got out when I could. In years past I was lucky to see one coyote a week, this winter when I was there pig hunting I saw 5-6 a day! each day about half were different than the day before. Ridiculous is right!!!
Hunt blacktails in Ca. Go out of state for mule deer. It may or may not be worth applying for deer in Ca. it just depends on want species.

The UNESCO World Heritage Committee followed IUCN's recommendation to inscribe five new natural sites on the World Heritage List: The Namib Sand Sea in Namibia, Mount Etna in Italy, El Pinacate and Grando Desierto de Altar Biosphere Reserve in Mexico, Xinjiang Tianshan in China and the Tajik National Park in the Pamir Mountains in Tajikistan.
World Heritage, Phnom Penh 2013
IUCN experts gathered in the Cambodian capital Phnom Penh for the annual UNESCO World Heritage Committee meeting which took place on 16-27 June 2013. They recommended action to tackle major threats to natural World Heritage sites including the Great Barrier Reef in Australia and the Selous Game Reserve in Tanzania.
In addition, IUCN recommended to the Committee to approve the extension of Mount Kenya National Park to include the Lewa Wildlife Conservancy and Ngare Ngare Forest Reserve. IUCN was also in favour of granting the extension of Drakensberg Park, Lesotho, to include Sehlabathebe National Park.
At the Committee meeting, IUCN also be reported on monitoring missions it conducted to ten World Heritage Sites in 2012 and 2013. IUCN also recommended three sites to be inscribed on the List of World Heritage Sites in Danger because of significant threats to their Outstanding Universal Value. These were: Virgin Komi Forests in Russia, Lake Turkana in Kenya and East Rennell in the Solomon Islands. The Committee followed IUCN's advice for East Rennell but Virgin Komi Forests and Lake Turkana were not added to the Danger List.
IUCN is the advisory body to UNESCO's World Heritage Committee on nature. Working closely with the World Commission on Protected Areas (WCPA), IUCN's World Heritage Programme evaluates sites nominated to the World Heritage List, monitors the conservation state of listed sites, promotes the Convention as a leading global conservation tool, and provides support, advice and training to site managers, governments, scientists and local communities

My starting budget was about 25k, we did surpass that once the planning began. I didn't realized how many little things we were going to need to add to budget. I'd say 40% of it was the venue, 30% photography & video, 10% dress/shoes/hair/make-up, 10% details (including furniture rentals), 5% flowers ( my amazing aunt was able to fly in from GA and put all my arrangements and everything floral related together free of charge, so I was able to splurge of the higher end of flowers) and, 5% music. With that being said I do not remember what our exact total was.

Lawrenceville, NJ (Sports Network) - Rhamel Brown finished with 10 points, 10
rebounds, and six blocks as the Manhattan Jaspers defeated the Rider Broncs,
62-51, in a Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference tilt at Alumni Gymnasium.
Shane Richards added 19 points on 7-of-8 shooting from the field off the bench
for Manhattan (6-14, 4-6 MAAC) as it snapped a three-game losing slide. The
win came from a very balanced effort as 10 different Jaspers made a
contribution in the scoring column.
Jonathon Thompson paced Rider (11-11, 6-4) with 18 points on 7-of-9 shooting
from the field and Anthony Myles netted 10 points. The loss was the second in
a row for the Broncs.
The Jaspers managed to build a 22-12 advantage on the scoreboard by the 7:42
mark of the first half, but Rider rallied back to cut the deficit to three
points as the game progressed into the intermission. Manhattan shot an even 50
percent from the floor and converted 9-of-11 at the charity stripe en route to
its 29-26 halftime lead.
After the break, Manhattan improved to connect on 55 percent of its field goal
attempts including 5-of-6 from beyond the arc. The Broncs were handed a
double-digit loss after they went 2-of-10 from 3-point range in the final 20
minutes of action.
The Jaspers enjoyed a 33-21 edge in the rebounding battle and shot a red-hot
63.6 percent from distance in the game.

The IRS deadline of April 18th is coming soon. File fast, for FREE with TurboTax Federal Free Edition.
This is the season for wet goodbyes and shy hello's. Many of us are leaving home, some for the first time, to study abroad in world capitals and rural villages. No matter which end of the metropolitan spectrum you're headed for, living in a new place can be exciting, nerve-wracking and frightening, all at once.
Last year, I moved to France for college. As I start my second year away from home, I wanted to share some of the things I've learned for those of you just starting your adventures abroad.
1. Read up on your destination like your life depends on it … because it kind of does.
Even a precursory scan of France's Wikipedia page will tell you useful information, like the fact that it is nicknamed l'Héxagone (The Hexagon) because of its shape. Okay … while some factoids may be not be obviously useful, you will gain a general sense of cuisine, basic etiquette and geography. And who knows, you might find yourself at a dinner party with a cute French guy across the table, in which case informing him of his country's resemblance to a six-sided polygon is totally going to reel him in.
For more experience-based information, check out the blogs of expatriates and locals. Embassy websites are known for being ugly and unhelpful, so blogs saved me so much confusion when applying for my student visa. Plus they have insider tips on everything from the best cafés to avoiding faux pas.
2. Make a study abroad bucket list.
Because if you don't write it down, you probably won't get to it. Always wanted to see Aurora Borealis or walk the streets of Pompeii? Write it down, and then on a quiet weekend book your tickets before you can talk yourself out of it. If you're in Europe, try discount airlines Easyjet and the infamously sketchy Ryanair for dirt cheap fare. Carpooling and hitchhiking are also easier and more widely accepted than they are in the States. And you don't have to wait for school holidays — take advantage of weekends to cross closer destinations off the list.
3. Now make a serious business list.
Your future self will thank you. It's tempting to think of nothing but the lovely things you will do and the crazy friends you will meet. In reality, once you've arrived at your destination you'll be too busy taking in the sights, meeting people and figuring out everyday things like where to buy groceries and how toilets work to deal with administrative matters. Take time beforehand to think of all the possible things you'll need to take care of once you arrive, and make a guide for yourself. Once you're at your new place, you can refer to this guide for help from your past self. It'll be like holding your own hand, but in a pragmatic, not pathetic, way.
4. Chase great stories.
Barring danger to your health, you should go out if you feel like going out. And don't let anyone persuade you to go clubbing when you'd rather inch through a museum. In the end, what you're left with are stories and maybe a 2€ brass Eiffel Tower and stacks of used metro tickets, so make your time memorable.
5. Drop all expectations.
This may seemingly contradict the other items on this list, but forget everything you think you know about your destination (unless you've been there before) and go without preconceptions. Souvenir means "memory" in French. Travel writers always advise bringing an empty suitcase to fill up with souvenirs and there's no reason not to do the same for figurative ones, unless you're allergic to forced metaphors. You've traveled miles and miles, spent thousands of dollars, and probably shed buckets of homesick tears to soak up a foreign culture. Don't let yourself be the one thing that stops you from doing so.
Like many of us, I had carried one image of Paris my entire life, and the charming but grimy streets that greeted me upon arrival didn't quite match up. France has been a lovely disappointment, and the City of Lights has become more city than light. But I am grateful to see cities as cities rather than ideas. Wherever you go this year, it is a place where humans have chosen to live out their lives together, a place where human innovation and enterprise attempt to make life easier. In some cases, attempt is the key word.
The greatest privilege of studying abroad isn't the novelty. Rather, it's coming across a new place and rapidly familiarizing yourself it. It's getting to know a place intimately in both good and bad ways. You may love your new country or you may hate it — but there's no denying you will come to know it inside and out. The awful weather and early closing times will become inside jokes; when you have nothing but affectionate complaints, the bond is complete and your new home has Jacob-ed your Renesmee.

Genetic manipulation of human embryonic stem cells and its application in studying CNS development and repair
The advent of human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) has offered enormous potential for regenerative medicine and for basic understanding of human biology. On the one hand, hESCs can be turned into many different cell types in culture dish, and specific cell types derived from hESCs offer an almost infinite source for cellular replacement therapies. This is the primary reason for which hESCs have received much attention from the general public. On the other hand, scientists can study the properties of hESCs and their derivatives, and determine the effect of genes and molecules on such properties either in culture dish or with transplantation studies in live animals. This second aspect of hESC research would not only significantly enhance our understanding of the function of human genes, but will greatly augment our ability to apply hESCs in transplantation therapies and regenerative medicine. To attain the full potential of hESCs, genetic manipulation of hESCs is essential. In this proposal, we will establish the methods to genetically manipulate an increasingly used, non-federally approved hESC line, the HUES-9, and assess the feasibility to use genetically modified HUES-9 cells in cell transplantation studies to assess the integration of hESCs into the mouse central nervous system. We propose to achieve both homologous recombination (i.e. gene targeting) and transgene expression (with bacterial artificial chromosome), which have complementary utilities in assaying gene function in addition to the opportunity to label hESCs or their derivatives with fluorescent markers. Specifically, with genetic engineering of hESCs we will be able to 1) label hESCs and specific cell types derived from hESCs so that they can be readily followed in culture dish and in animals that have received cellular transplants; 2) disturb an endogenous gene or add more copies of a gene so that the effect of a gene of interest can be assessed (for this purpose, a gene involved in the development of a major motor tract, the corticospinal tract, will be studied). We will then transplant genetically engineered hESCs and their derivatives into the embryonic and adult mouse CNS to assess how well these cells integrate into the mouse CNS, and whether such transplanted animals can serve as valid models to study the effect of genes on hESC function in live animals. In transplantation studies involving adult mouse recipients, injured mouse CNS will be used in addition to intact CNS in order to evaluate the potential of hESCs to integrate into injured CNS, which has direct implications on the therapeutic potential of these cells. In summary, our proposal will establish the methods and tools to genetically manipulate HUES-9 cells, explore a paradigm to study human genes and cells in a context of neural development and cellular therapies, and will pave the way for future studies of genes and pathways in basic biology and regenerative medicine with hESCs.
The disability, loss of earning power, and loss of personal freedom associated with spinal cord injury is devastating for the injured individual, and creates a financial burden of an estimated $400,000,000 annually for the state of California. Research is the only solution as currently there are no cures for spinal cord injury. My lab studies the underlying mechanisms for axon regeneration failure after spinal cord injury using mouse genetics and animal models of spinal cord injury. The current proposal aims to genetically manipulate human embryonic stem cells, study their potential to integrate into immature and mature central nervous system and analyze the effect of genes on such integration. Achieving genetic modification of hESCs will expedite studies with hESCs to cure a variety of human diseases and injuries including spinal cord injury. Our studies will pave the way for discoveries that might lead to novel treatment strategies for spinal cord injury and other neurological conditions. Effective treatments promoting functional repair will significantly increase personal independence for people with spinal cord injury, increase earning capacity and financial independence, and thus decrease the financial burden for the State of California. More importantly, treatments that enhance functional recovery will improve the quality of life for those who are directly or indirectly affected by spinal cord injuries.
A main goal of research in our laboratory is to identify strategies to promote neural repair in spinal cord injury and related neurological conditions. On the one hand, we have been using mouse models of spinal cord injury to study a long-standing puzzle in the field, namely, why axons, the fibers that connect nerve cells, do not regenerate after injury to the brain and the spinal cord. On the other hand, relevant to this CIRM SEED grant, we have started to explore the developmental and therapeutic potential of human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) for neural repair. We do this by first developing a method to genetically manipulate a HUES line of hESCs. The advent of hESCs has offered enormous potential for regenerative medicine and for basic understanding of human biology. To attain the full potential of hESCs as a tool both for therapeutic development and for basic research, we need to greatly enhance and expand our ability to genetically manipulate hESCs. A major goal for our SEED grant-sponsored research is to establish methods to genetically manipulate the HUES series of hESC lines, which are gaining wide utility in the research community due to the advantages on their growth characteristics over previously developed hESC lines. The first gene that we targeted in HUES cells, Fezf2, is critical for the development of the corticospinal tract, which plays important roles in fine motor control in humans and hence represents an important target for recovery and repair after spinal cord injury. By introducing a fluorescent reporter to the Fezf2 locus, we are now able to monitor the differentiation of hESCs into Fezf2-expressing neuronal lineages. This work has been published. A second goal is to start to explore the developmental and therapeutic potential of these cells and cells that derived from these cells in the brain and spinal cord. We are currently utilizing the cell line genetically engineered above to develop an efficient method to differentiate HUES cells into subcerebral neurons. Results so far have been encouraging. Efforts are also underway to overexpress Fezf2 as a complementary approach to drive the differentiation of HUES cells into specific neuronal types. Together, these studies will lay down the foundation for therapeutic development with HUES cells and their more differentiated derivatives for neurological disorders including spinal cord injury where neural regeneration can be beneficial. The CIRM SEED grant has allowed us to pursue a new, exciting path of research that we would have not pursued had we not been awarded the grant. Furthermore, the CIRM funded research has opened a new window of opportunity for us to explore genetic engineering of hESCs to model human neurological conditions in future.

First of all, I hate you lol. Basically as long as u get away from the road, and find some wetlands u should be able to find em.

I had the good fortune of drawing a moose tag in unit 38 in Wyoming (Snowy Range). Anyone have any experience hunting moose in the Snowy Range? Any recomendations on areas to focus my hunt.
First of all, I hate you lol. Basically as long as u get away from the road, and find some wetlands u should be able to find em.

You've drawn a great tag. I hunted deer in the snowies last year and saw 7 bulls 5 of which were along hwy 130 west of Brooklyn lake road. He's right though I also saw 2 other young bulls hot footing it in a darinage to some beaver dams/ wetlands. It's amazing how fast these animals can move. Of the 7 bulls 2 were definetly shooters. As they all say put your time in scouting and it should payoff big time. Sneaky Pete
I spend a lot of time in the Snowies...hunting, ATVing, snowmobiling, hiking, etc. In my opinion, the best moose population is in the south end. If I had a moose license, I would start in and around Douglas Creek, Pelton Creek and Fox Park. I would drive the back roads with my ATV, and I would stop and talk to everybody I saw to ask them if they had seen moose. I would also do some walking, but covering a lot of ground in the morning and evening is important. Good luck!
Appreciate the comments, intend to do some scouting late summer/early fall. I received the same advice from others about visiting with campers and other hunters regarding moose sightings. Any recommendations on good campsites not terribly far off of HWY 130, would be nice to have water but not necessary.
Redbirdsjdb...I just hunted deer there last year and know exactly where we saw several bulls. Be picky, there are a LOT of bull moose in there. I applied for Unit 38 for moose this year after what we saw there. I can also give you leads on some campgrounds. Send me a PM (personal message) and if you'd like we can set up a call.
When we hunted the snowies last year we stayed at Mountain Meadow Cabin's , check it out on the intenet. Something like $75 a night and all you'll need is food and your sleeping bag, or use the sheets on the bed and your gear of course. There is campgrounds on brooklyn lake rd. This place worked out well for us. We didn't have to bring all the camping gear etc. I'll try to get more information on some of the different areas we saw the moose.
Hey Guys! doing some research for my uncle and cousin. My uncle is older, later 50's. My cousin has some physical limitations due to an accident he had a few years back. anyways........they both have 11 preference points for Moose in Wyoming. There were going to hunt on a ranch by Afton/Thayne along the Idaho border........but the rancher said the moose have been decimated by the wolves, and the pop is way down on his ranch.
So they are looking at alternative areas. Due to money constraints, a full guided trip is out of the picture......but they were wondering about possibly a drop camp or even someone to hire if they do get a moose to help get it out. Plus........with their first choice of an area not the best right now, any other suggestions? I see people talking about the Snowy range, which I believe is in the Medicine Bow NF.
any other suggestions???? They are pretty much game for anywhere in wyoming.
any suggestions for an areas and/or dropcamp outfitter will be appreciated. They are too late this year of course, but they would like to send in for next fall and want to start planning early.
Thanks to all that posted, UMPQUA HUNTER, cool area where you hunted. Happy to report that moose on ice, shot a nice bull in the Snowy's 2 weeks ago. Scouted the area over Labor Day weekend and learned alot, and met some fellow hunters on vacation and bow elk hunting that provided a lot of helpful information, Wyoming residents, really super folks. Hunted with a buddy and found a nice bull on the second day of the hunt. As a non-resident, this was a hunt of a lifetime, as I will not live long enough to draw this tag again. Anyone fortunate enough to draw this tag should do all they can to make the most of it, these are magnificent animals and truly a treasure and a testament to excellent game management by WY Fish and Game. Happy hunting!
Lets see some pics

Hi all.
We have been doing a manual migration of a qmail system with 1100 users to Zimbra. We have manually made all these accounts on Zimbra and moved their passwords over and everyone is sending/receiving mail okay. The only issue is there are some emails sitting in the users/<username>/Maildir/new/ that we want to move over.
The old qmail system is pop3.
We want to move mail from qmail to Zimbra for 844 users. I looked at pop2imap to do this but it seems like I will still have to manually create 844 folders in Zimbra.
Your advice on the best way to go about this would be really appreciated.

2006 Super Chevy Show - Drag DazeWritten by Steven Rupp on July 20, 2006 Racers descend on Pomona Raceway Super Chevy Show and the rare chance to run on a historic track
Pomona raceway is an enigma; it's a raceway that sees very little racing. The big sign out front may say "drag strip," but the burnout box and control tower are unfortunate enough to be located in the noise-intolerant city of La Verne. Opened in '61, the classic track existed long before most of the houses in the area. That doesn't keep residents from complaining about the noise and insisting on draconian noise abatement rules.
Even if you lost a finger back in high school shop class, you could still most likely count the number of professional races held here each year. Regular street-legal racing was banned long ago, so the best track in Southern California sits silent for most of the year. It's no wonder when the Super Chevy Show hits town hundreds of cars show up for a rare shot to drive on the best track around. After all, with only 15 days of activity a year, the opportunity to run there is rarer than an editor paying for his own drinks.
This year racing ran from March 31 through April 2, with Friday used for registration and a few time trials. The real action started on Saturday with racers getting dialed-in for their bracket classes and the Nitro Coupes gearing up for some high-speed runs. It does rain here in Southern California and Saturday morning was one of those rare times. By noon though, the rain had passed and the crew went to work drying off the track and laying down gallons of VHT in preparation for the tire-roasting festivities. With the asphalt dry, the racers began getting tech'd in, gassed up and the sound of engines rumbling to life soon filled the area. The noise police in La Verne even extended the curfew until 6 p.m. since the day started so late. Hey, we'll take what we can get.Sunday came and the rain was a distant memory under the blue skies. Many of the Nitro Coupe teams spent the night tearing down their rides in preparation for what promised to be a great day. Noise ordinances mean that racing doesn't start until around 10 a.m., but when it does, the track hooks hard. With the exception of a few of the faster cars kissing the barriers, everything ran well.
Randy Alder in his black '57 Bel Air nitro coupe had the quickest ET in qualifying, but was taken out of the competition when his rear axle failed, causing the left rear wheel to separate from the car and sending him hard into the barrier. Randy was airlifted to a local hospital, but came out of it with only a mild concussion. One the other hand, his car was totaled. A new car is in the works and he should only miss the next race at Memphis. With Randy out of action, there was nobody left to challenge Trevor Lowe and his team of Canadian racers who managed a best run of 6.350 at a scorching 225.00 mph in a newly built '68 Camaro.
The bracket racing progressed through six rounds for a chance at over $190,000 in contingency money. If you're running the right parts, and have your product stickers placed accordingly, you can end up going home with a good chunk of change. The racing ended just in time for the noise curfew at 5 p.m. Once again, the historic raceway descended into sad silence. We can't wait for next year...

Ryan Tietz works with his crew to solve a fuel problem that had plagued them during Friday's practice. Ryan went on to run a 7.910 at 170.64 against a 7.76 dial-in. Unfortunately, this wasn't enough to take him to the next round.This '70 Camaro is owned by Kevin Houmard of San Dimas, Calif., and the wheelie bars are not there just for looks. The 427 rat-motored Camaro ran a 9.349 against a 9.34 dial-in to take the win. Kevin made it to the third round before tripping a red light with a -.001 reaction time.One of the coolest cars at the event was LAPD Racing's black and white cop car Camaro driven by Toni Foti of Simi Valley, Calif. Here we caught him heating up the tires on his nitro coupe.We found Anais Foti waiting at the barrier to snap a picture of her dad leaving the line. Before you get any ideas, remember that her dad, Tony, drives the LAPD Racing car and is known to be armed.Tim Lee of Rialto techs in his slick '65 Buick. One cool thing about this car is it's actually powered by a Buick mill, but in the form of a turbocharged V-6 from a Grand National. The car normally runs mid 10s, but for bracket racing, Tim dialed in at a conservative 11.20. The show may be called Super Chevy, but you can run any car that has an engine made by GM.
Sometimes you can have a great run and still lose. Michael Siaz of Phelan, Calif., ran a 10.429 at 129.32 against a dial-in of 10.42, but still went home. Bracket racing is often won or lost by hundredths of a second.Jeremy Hanger of Hangman Racing in Fullerton checks the valvetrain on his big-block '53 Studebaker. Jeremy says he does this ritual after every run and it makes the difference between winning and losing. Jeremy went on to run a 6.568/217.39, but it wasn't enough to beat the guys from Canada with their fastest run of the day, a 6.336/225.56.Moe Wilson of Azusa didn't have to come far to enjoy a day a racing, but he was there to make the most of it. His beautiful '72 Nova sports a 540 big-block and runs high 9s. After his first round win, technical problems caused him to be a no-show for Round 2.Monty Berney puts the finishing touches on his super clean '55 Chevy nitro coupe. The Shoebox is all steel and runs as good as it looks to the tune of 6.906 at 203.92 mph. His race team also has a matching '55 Chevy tow car that's nice enough to win a car show.If you want to get into drag racing, walking around the pits is a great way to find smoking deals on slightly used parts. Here we found rollers, an engine and even an RV to chill in between rounds.Going fast over and over again is not only expensive, but a ton of work as well. This team came all the way from British Columbia, Canada, in a freshly built '68 Camaro. Here they are completely tearing the Nitro Coupe apart in preparation of Sunday's racing. Their hard work paid off with driver Trevor Lowe running the fastest speed of the weekend of 225.56mph. They backed up that run by beating former champion Dan Nickleson and his '03 Vette to take the championship with a 6.350 at 250.00 mph. Trevor later commented that the win at Pomona made the long drive home feel a heck of a lot shorter.2004 champion Randy Alder of Tinley Park, Ill., started off the day by being the number-one qualifier with a run of 6.249 at 216.75. Unfortunately, his day was cut short when an axle failure sent him into the barriers.Mary Valvo watches her husband Alan make a run in his '72 Chevelle. She should be proud since he made it all the way to the fifth round before being narrowly eliminated.One guy you can usually find at a Super Chevy drag racing event is veteran Bob Hall in his Airborn Express exhibition wheel-standing Astrovan. What's not to love about a guy doing a wheel stand for over 1,000 feet? Another exhibition ride you can find at most Super Chevy events is a jet-powered car, but the noise police nixed that idea at Pomona.
Showing that the ladies can be just as fast as the guys, Courtney Glover of Costa Mesa, Calif., does the big air grab in her '68 Camaro. The 468-powered First Gen ran a 10.087 at 131.46 in the second round against a dial-in of 10.04, but the red light sent her home early.Rudy Renka of Huntington Beach, Calif., grabs major air in his 548 big-block powered '67 Chevelle on his way to running a 9.186 at 148.30 mph.
