Tess Menzies can work a spell with a few blinks of her baby blue eyes. But this dedicated witch can't summon up a single good reason she's been made an envoy between her kind and Manhattan's fiercest were-creatures. The two sides haven't spoken in four hundred years, and she'll need every miracle in the book to broker any kind of truce. And that means outwitting Council of Others leader Rafael De Santos, whose tantalizing moves and fierce hungry kisses are magic even a formidable sorceress can't resist...
It doesn't take a cat's supernatural senses for Rafael to suspect that there's something strange about this unexpected peace offering. And finding the truth is just as tempting as uncovering the secrets Tess is trying to conceal. Why, she's tantalizing enough to make this wandering were-jaguar think he's found the perfect mate-one he's only dreamed of. But his stealth and her spells can't guarantee they have a chance at survival, much less a future together....

Sassy dialogue, humor, and a great reader are important to me.
"Must love Humor"
fun listen. dialogue had a lot of humor and made you feel light hearted
This was a very light story...not much depth, but I needed something fun and this did the trick. I purchased on sale. Good buy. Some of the other stories may have more depth than this one. I would not buy at a credit only on sale.
the reader has a good male voice. I noticed that many readers who can do a male voice can sometimes not make a good female voice any more. They can sound hard or older than the female character they read.
I did listen in one sitting as it left me feeling good
I will have to read other reviewers before buying more. I love this authors humor so that is worth a good look at the many reviews.
"Too much sex, not enough plot."
I place this story as around #6 the chronology lineup.
I have been waiting for this story to be told for a long time. Unfortunately, it was less than stellar. There was way too much sex for the amount of story line, and the plot was so thin you could see through it. If the truth be known, the series would have been better off without this addition.
Seriously limited TIME! which is why I love audiobooks. I can do chores and ignore distractions by plugging my ears with my favorite authors
"all you love about the "others" in this series"
First, let me say that I have checked the author's website and this book should be number 7 in the storyline order of this series. Second, again let me say that everything you love about the "Others" in this series, you will find in this book. Out of everything my one complaint is that it ended far to soon, yet had the author dragged it out with the usual "filler" that would have spoiled it. I suppose I do have a second complaint but not about this story and that is that for some reason Tantor Audio has yet to publish number 6! So if you are fanatical about story order you should pick up "on the prowl" in print before you start this one. Oh! FINAL WARNING-LIKE ALL CHRISTINE WARREN'S BOOKS THIS IS SUPER HOT! Last comment I promise, the book On the Prowl I referred to? make sure it's by Warren not Briggs, that is a whole other great story!

If you are getting laid off, there are a few things you MUST do:
1) file for unemployment immediately
2) recognize it is NOT you personally (unless deep in your heart you know you are a rectal hat)
3) begin job hunting IMMEDIATELY
4) accept that NO job is truly beneath you when it comes to survival money so file pride away immediately
5) do NOT depend on unemployment and think you will 'get a job' when it runs out, as it may run out
before you get a job
6) going off unemployment to work a temp job or interim job 'banks' your UI into the future, even
if the process can be a hassle. temp & interim jobs lead to more contacts, and more contacts
are what you need as they lead to greater chances for a permanent job.
7) tell ALL your friends you are looking -- most people get jobs thru referrals, NOT thru want ads or web sites
8) Human Resources is NOT your friend -- they are your obstacle. If you have a company in mind to work
for, get to the manager of the department directly. After all, the manager knows what is happening well
before HR ever will...
9) if you have an office-type job, try to keep your phone and voicemail active, and use that number
for messages when job hunting. looking 'employed' gives you more 'cred' than looking unemployed
10) modify your spending habits NOW. no lattes, no new clothes, no nothing. Food and shelter basics.
scale down spending as if you will not work for a year or more -- just in case...
11) stay active both physically & mentally. ride your bike, read books. enhance your skills where possible.
12) consider joining any groups that may have connections in your field like professional organizations
13) if you have excess 'stuff', now is the time to sell it on ebay or craigslist for extra cash
14) lean on your family & friends for support. don't go it alone -- you don't have to...
Over the years, I have been thru some heady recessions and watched the unemployed routinely violate
one or more of the above, only to find themselves out of cash with nowhere to turn. Rock bottom is not
where you want to be if you can avoid it.
BTW, Goldman Sachs is now forecast unemployment next year of 9%, a number I believe i had grouped
into posts here forecasting 8.5-10% unemployment next year. the Fed is claiming unemployment will be
less and growth will return in the min-next year time frame. i would not hold that up high, I believe we
will maybe get thru this by years end. government numbers are phoney anyway...

Commerce City, CO (Sports Network) - The Colorado Rapids ended their season on
a high note, earning a 2-0 defeat of the playoff-bound Houston Dynamo at
Dick's Sporting Goods Park on Saturday.
Kamani Hill opened the scoring in the ninth minute, streaking down the center
of the pitch and firing a shot from distance that needed a deflection to get
past stand-in goalkeeper Tyler Deric.
The Rapids doubled the lead despite a sprawling save from Deric in the 76th
minute. The 24-year-old, who was deputizing for first-choice 'keeper Tally
Hall, produced a fine save, but Andre Akpan was arriving at the six-yard box
to head home the rebound for his third goal of the season.
The win lifts Colorado (11-19-4) to 37 points on the season, good enough for
seventh place in the Western Conference.
Houston (14-9-11) will travel to Toyota Park to face the Chicago Fire in
Wednesday's Eastern Conference play-in game.

Double Featured for a 1932 Ford Roadster PickupWritten by on November 14, 2005 Contributors: Kevin Lee Another Poteet Pickup
Surely the cover of this magazine caught your attention with the pair of George Poteet's latest pickups, and this feature gives the lowdown on the '32 half of that equation. It's a well-known fact that George has long been a fan of commercial models, but this latest duo marks his personal pinnacle of pickup perfection. So rampant is George's attraction to hot rods with a cargo area on the back that this author has happened to be in the vicinity of not one, but two of his on-the-spot purchases of tricked out trucks. Coincidence? Maybe it's just a little more proof of his addiction.
The inspiration for George's latest Deuce (he has a constantly revolving stable that includes many '32 Fords) came when he caught wind of Brookville Roadster's idea to add a rear panel to a few of their '32 roadster pieces to make a phantom roadster pickup cab. This idea of a stylish rpu that you could actually fit into (many of the original models left much to be desired in the comfort area) was both very attractive and familiar to George as he had actually convinced Brookville Roadster to produce an extended cab '30/31 Model A roadster pickup with an additional 6 inches of cab length for added comfort. George received the very first Brookville extended Model A cab and it has gone on to be one of their most popular bodies produced. After George confirmed that they would indeed be producing the '32 version, he kept up with them until he ultimately took ownership of the very first '32 roadster pickup cab to roll off the Brookville assembly line.
With the body secured, George's next step would be to figure out who would build it. With Poteet projects buzzing at home and also at a number of shops across the country, George was happy to slip into a spot at Roy Brizio's South San Francisco shop. Putting their heads together, George and Roy came up with a plan for the build that would be pure hot rod with a fair amount of spit and polish thrown in as well.
Since Roy's shop is pretty much a factory for well-built '32 Fords, the chassis is one of his patented units, this time with a 2-inch stretch to compensate for the additional length of the cab. Bolted up to the front of the frame are pieces from Magnum, Pete & Jake's, Durant, and Wilwood. Under the rear you will find additional pieces from Pete & Jake's and Wilwood, as well as POSIES, to mount a 9-inch Ford rearend.
Powering the pickup is a mighty 402ci Roush-built mill that packs a whopping 515 hp! The Roush aluminum-headed engine breathes in through an Edelbrock manifold and a Holley 770-cfm carb and exhales through a pair of Pertronix headers and a custom Brizio exhaust system. Backing up the pumped-up Blue Oval is a Tremec five-speed trans that's operator-controlled by a Hurst stick. The rolling stock matches the performance theme with a set of pure magnesium rims custom cast by Ron Blondell to perfectly match a set of super rare Halibrand hoops used on mid-'60s Watson Indy roadsters. The rims are coated in the same Dow 7 coating used to preserve the original rims, and that's what gives them that classic greenish gold tint.
Back to the body that started the whole project, it was fitted by Jack Hagemann with a custom aluminum hood and then mated to a modified Model A bed before Vintage Color Studio massaged all the tin and shot it with a deep black finish coat. Brizio's house 'striper, Rory, laid the lines and Sid Chavers finished the project with one of his renowned leather stitch jobs.
With enough toys in the stable to last him a while, George plans on sending this around to various shows for a year after which he plans on fully enjoying the '32 out on the open road as he's know and appreciated for. If Brookville makes plans to produce any more "new" models, you know who might be a good guess to be driving the first one.
George Poteet
Memphis, Tennessee
1932 Ford Pickup
With a Ford in a Ford being a big favorite of the Brizio shop, George's pickup sports one of the most potent packages currently available with his Roush-built 402ci/515hp mill mated to a Tremec five-speed box. An Edelbrock intake straddles a pair of aluminum Roush heads and spark is supplied by MSD.
The platform for the roadster pickup started with a pair of 'rails stretched 2 inches by Brizio and supported up front by a Magnum 5-inch dropped axle teamed up with a Durant mono leaf spring and Pete & Jake's shocks. In the rear, a POSIES spring and Pete & Jake's shocks attach a 9-inch Ford rearend. Steering is controlled by a Vega box and stopping is handled by Wilwood discs on all four corners activated by a Corvette master cylinder.
Wheels & Tires
Since George has a deep spot in his hot rod heart for early Indy cars, he jumped at the chance to bolt up a set of Ron Blondell's magnesium reproductions of mid-'60s Watson roadster rollers in 16x6 and 18x6 sizes. Matching vintage race rubber is from Dunlop Racing in 5.50x16 and 7.00x18 sizes.
Body & Paint
When Brookville Roadster introduced their phantom '32 Ford roadster pickup cab, George could not sleep at night until he had the very first one. He wasted no time shipping it off to Roy Brizio for him to add everything else. Roy kept it simple, adding just the pieces necessary to make it a hot rod--like the BLC headlights ('40s and '50s accessory sealed beam units) and matching shaped '37 Ford taillights, a Jack Hagemann aluminum hood, and a 3-inch-chopped Windshield. Once the fabrication phase was finished, all the pieces requiring shiny black paint were shipped to Vintage Color Studio (Concord, CA), while Sherm's Custom Plating handled the nickel and chrome finishes. Once all the pieces were back together, Rory added a set of classic Tommy the Greek style 'stripes.
Inside was kept purely business as well with a Knecht gauge panel filled with Classic Instruments, a Budnik wheel on a Limeworks column, and absolutely no frills to confuse this car with some prissy street rod. Sid Chavers stitched up the tan cowhides over a seat he custom built and provided some protection for highway hero George by fitting one of his Bop Tops.

|2010 Relay For Life celebrates birthdays
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
While some are thinking, "Relay just can't be here yet!" many cancer survivors and Relay team members are busy preparing for the ninth annual Phillips County Relay For Life. The "12 Hour Birthday Bash" kicks off Friday, June 4 at 6 p.m. at the Courthouse Square in Holyoke.
Relay's goal this year is to help celebrate more birthdays, and sponsors and team members are doing just that by raising money for the American Cancer Society and cancer research.
This year, team members will walk for 12 hours, from 6 p.m. Friday to 6 a.m. Saturday. Another change from last year is that the stage will be located on the north side of the Courthouse on Emerson Street.
Festivities kick off at 6 p.m. with a welcome from Phillips County Relay committee chairmen Doug Kamery and Steve Young as well as emcees Joe Hall and Marcia Dalton. Pastor Lou Encinias will give the invocation, and the national anthem will be sung.
Cancer survivors and care givers are then invited to walk the "Victory Lap" around the Courthouse Square, followed by the releasing of balloons and a survivor group picture.
Team participants, all decked out with themed costumes and props, will take the next lap for the team parade. The end of the parade marks the official start of the Relay, and one member from each team must be walking at all times for the remainder of the 12 hours.
A 7 p.m. dinner will be served to all Relay team members, sponsors and cancer survivors.
Guest speaker Carlos Estrada from the American Cancer Society's Cancer Action Network will take the stage to speak on advocacy.
Also on the main stage, Relay participants, survivors and observers can watch local entertainment from 7:15-9 p.m. Friday.
Relay activities will take a break from 9-9:45 p.m. for the Luminaria Ceremony. "In Memory of" and "In Honor of" readings will take place followed by a silent memory lap. (Luminaria can be purchased prior to Relay or from 3-8 p.m. at the Courthouse on Friday.)
The highly anticipated "Caked," sponsored by the Grainland team, will take place at 9:45 p.m., and one community member will find themselves getting a cake in the face. Musical chairs scavenger hunt will follow.
This year's Relay youth area will host games and activities from around 11 p.m. to midnight.
The rest of the night and early morning hours will feature upbeat team building activities interspersed with quiet times for those who want to enjoy the sereneness of the Relay.
Entertainment, games and activities will be sponsored by Relay teams at individual campsites. Other challenges for Relay participants include the M&M relay, a sack lunch relay, the not-so-newlywed game and the reverse wheelchair race. Watch for times to sign up for these events.
Team members are encouraged to stay at the Relay the entire 12 hours. For those that last through the night, a breakfast will be available for teams, sponsors and survivors at 6 a.m.
After clean-up, closing ceremonies will begin at 7 a.m. Saturday. Cancer survivors will be special guests, and individuals and teams will be recognized for their efforts. Awards will be given for team parade entries, campsites, team spirit, most money raised by teams/individuals, team batons and cake decorating.
Pastor Chad Rozelle will give the benediction, and team members and survivors will take their final lap, concluding this year's Relay For Life and birthday bash.
Don't forget the Relay store will be open Friday and Saturday. Community members are also reminded pets are not allowed at the Relay.

Item # ZIP0069
Don't worry though, we have a lot more Tubular Wheels in stock than that.View Similar Products
Zipp Super-9 Disc Wheel - Tubular $0.00
Zipp Speed Weaponry designed the Super-9 Disc Wheel to be stiff, aero, and ready to win when your threshold climbs into the red. Designed for full-throttle power, the Super-9 Disc borrows from the perimeter shape of the Sub-9, making it so fast it actually generates lift. The Super-9 Disc differs from the Sub-9 by staying flat from its widest point all the way to the hub, forgoing Zipp's toroidal bulge found in other models. The result is a much stiffer and more-responsive wheel than the Sub-9, but Zipp does so without compromising the Super-9's aerodynamics. Weighing in at under a 1,000 grams, the Super-9 is just that—super, and ready to out-kick the competition.
- Oversized 17mm axle is substantially stiffer than traditional 15mm axles
- Zipp's 188 rear hub features adjustable bearing preload and the industry's only aero preload nut
- ABLC (Advanced Boundary Layer Control) dimple technology smooths airflow across the rim's surface for increased aerodynamics
- Carbon Bridge technology uses a KEVLAR® thread in a co-axial helix stitch to bind sheets of carbon to each other in order to disperse shock more evenly throughout the rim
- Highly specialized Swiss-made ball bearing cartridges offer reliability and super-smooth rolling without added effort
- Note: Integrated aero rear brakes in some frames may present clearance issues; please check fit with brake before purchasing
- Valve stem must be at least 45mm
- Maximum recommended rider weight: 275 pounds
- Track- and road-adaptable


text: At this stage in the game i think your best option is Wy. In august you can get a leftover region buck tag and do a little homework , and might get an antelope tag for the same area. Trophy quality won't be all that great but if not worried about that, that might be the ticket. I know motels, eating out and gas too and from hunting areas can get spendy. Another option is check out campwithacook.com, might save you some money. Also a good hunt to consider out west is ELk in colorado easy to get tags, lots of animals. good luck!!

Here's my blog-http://mfedewa.tumblr.com/
I am in need of a regional fantasy map for a campaign setting. I will provide a rough sketch of the geographic layout and labels. I am looking for a cartographer that can create a map in a colorful but naturalistic style. Hopefully that makes sense. The campaign is set in a fantasy version of Mughal India in the 17th century, which may also come into play with regard to style, typography, etc. I have had work done here before and I am very easy to work with; however, one concern I have had in the past is lack of communication and overly-delayed completion of projects. Therefore, If you are unable to commit to completing the project in a reasonable time frame, please do not apply.
As already noted, this is a paid assignment. As per typical freelance art work, the creator will retain copyright to the map and I will get the appropriate licenses for use in print and digital form.
I do not visit these forums too often, so please contact me at the following address on gmail:
And yes, there is a period between the sidhu and the gamer words. These are then followed by the at sign and then the gmail.com.
In your email, be sure to send a link to work samples/portfolio. Please provide information as to your availability and turn around time, and fees.
Thank you for your time.

Hey again :) I dare say I did break the record again, new record would be around 4 months ;) My excuse would be that I've been very busy with school and some other stuff related to school... I hope everything went well with the overtimeworking and that girl ;) It's probably a little late to give any advice and anyways I wouldn't have any since I'm not too experienced with those things xD Christmas in Sweden (even though it was 4 months ago) was much like usual. We decorate the houses with small "santa-statues" and a Christmas Tree and then most people spend the Christmas with their families. We celebrate most on Christmas Eve which I believe is a bit different from other countries. My family are usually visiting my cousins in the morning where we meet most of my dads part of the family. Then we go home again with my 2 grandmothers. Around 3 it's time to watch "Donald Duck and his friends wishes everyone a merry christmas" on TV. After that we eat the christmas dinner with lots of traditiona food and after that it's time for santa and presents and that's about it :)
I hope you weren't too disappointed with a too warm winter? I for one have had a very cold and long winter and we still have snow and minusdegrees at night xD I've heard it's quite cold in the rest of europe too, is that correct? I'm not complaining too much about the cold weather though because it's been sunny for almost 3 weeks now which is very nice and I definitely prefer sunny and cold over warm and rainy ;) I hope you've been well !

I love the names of the forests ... and am interested in what scale the map is ?
Hi All,
I've been quietly lurking for a few weeks and in love with this site and all the beautiful artwork. I'm more inspired than I've been in years. Here's my first run at a map of a region in my homebrew D&D campaign. The map, the world, and the campaign are still being developed. The town of Thorn is the starting location. Also noted on the map are the locations of several 1st level encounters the group may run in to.
Thoughts, suggestions and input is graciously accepted.
My own thoughts:
Creating my own brushes - borrowing someone else's for now
Enhance coastline
Enhance Rivers
More organic placement of trees/mountains
Thanks for any thoughts!
I love the names of the forests ... and am interested in what scale the map is ?
Haha. Yeah, I'm going for cheesy names rather than made up fantasy names. A little humor never killed anyone, right? Map is 2400px square at 300dpi. 1in = 30mi? I'm still working that out. I guess that would make the map 240 mi square...
I like the coastline. You might want to mix up your mountain-symbols a bit...now it is kind of too regular/one sided with just one type of mountain.
Tell us a bit about your world. And as a world-map enthusiast...show us the whole world
I'm trapped in Darkness,
Still I reach out for the Stars
Those rivers in the left are kinda weird (in a good way), they made me think of swampy areas as-yet-named.
The scheme is nice - I'm eager to see what your brushes look like.
The nation of Bravia is still recovering from a very bloody civil war which has made the capital a difficult place to make a living. The violence in the capital and the new labor force needed in Thorn has made the small town grow much faster than anyone expected. Thorn is a small town built around an archaeological dig site funded by one very charismatic nobleman. The players will decide why they are there and what they are after. In the meantime, they may be called upon to defend Thorn from roaming Barbarians, suicidal Goblins, and Demon worshiping cultists.
Eventually they will realize the dig site and the head Archaeologist is at the root of the conflict. The Archaeologist has secretly uncovered, at the dig site, the means to summon an ancient demon lord. To keep this quiet he is paying the barbarians and goblins to attack the town and makes sure anyone suspect of him are killed off. He is also in control of the demon cult. When he finds the final piece of the puzzle, he'll start the ritual to summon the demon lord.
This will all take place from level 1 to maybe 5 or so. After that, who knows? I have a vague idea of the lands beyond this region. As my world and the players' story takes shape, I'll surely be adding more.
Update 1:
Created my own custom Mountains Brushes. Took out enemy locations. Replaced old mountains with new brush set.
Great map! I like the humourous forest names and your custom mountains look good.
The Craggles look better than your first mountains, but your forests are too evenly spaced - bunch them up some to look more natural.
Have some REP for your first posted map!
Gamer Printshop - We print RPG Maps for Game Masters!
Kaidan setting of Japanese Horror (PFRPG) Google+ community
Thanks, GP! Working on forest brushes next. Inspired by Max's Selvarin map. Might try to emulate that organic forest growth style. Since this is also a D&D map, i need to draw a graveyard icon, a barbarian camp icon, and a cultist symbol as well. Hopefully I can get those in today.

Kansas City, MO (Sports Network) - Tyrone Garland's layup with 2.5 seconds
remaining lifted La Salle to a 76-74 win over Ole Miss in the third-round of
the NCAA Tournament.
Garland had the ball along the left wing, dribbled into paint and hop-stepped
before sneaking his layup on the other side of the backboard past the
outstretched arm of Reginald Buckner for the 13th-seeded Explorers' first trip
to the Sweet 16 since 1955.
Ramon Galloway nailed six 3-pointers and netted 19 of his 24 points in the
first half for La Salle (24-9).
Marshall Henderson had 21 points to lead the Rebels (27-9).

Thirteen Cyclones in NFL Training Camps
AMES, Iowa – A total of 13 former Iowa State football players are hoping to keep their dreams alive by participating in NFL Training Camps this preseason.
The list features veterans Tim Dobbins (Houston Texans), Seneca Wallace (New Orleans Saints) and Ahtyba Rubin (Cleveland Browns), but of the 13 Cyclone NFL hopefuls, eight are entering their rookie or second seasons in the league: Carter Bykowski (San Francisco 49ers-rookie), A.J. Klein (Carolina Panthers-rookie), Jake Knott (Philadelphia Eagles-rookie), Jake McDonough (New York Jets-rookie), Josh Lenz (Chicago Bears-rookie), Leonard Johnson (Tampa Bay Buccaneers-2nd year), Kelechi Osemele (Baltimore Ravens-2nd year) and Hayworth Hicks (Carolina Panthers-2nd year).
This fact affirms the improvement ISU has made in producing NFL-caliber talent under head coach Paul Rhoads. ISU had two players selected in the 2013 NFL Draft in Klein (5th round) and Bykowski (7th round) to go along with free agents Lenz, Knott and McDonough. The possibility of adding five first-year Cyclones to the NFL would be one of the biggest crops in school history.
Osemele and Johnson are fresh off of outstanding rookie seasons in the NFL. Osemele, a 2011 All-American offensive lineman, started every game for the Ravens in their Super Bowl Championship season, earning NFL All-Rookie honors along the way.
Johnson, an All-Big 12 corner for the Cyclones from 2008-11, went undrafted in 2012, but made the Buccaneers roster as a free agent. He forged his way into the starting lineup by the end of the season and became a leader in the Bucs secondary.
Cyclones Participating in NFL Training Camps
Carter Bykowski- San Francisco 49ers
Tim Dobbins- Houston Texans
Hayworth Hicks- Carolina Panthers
Leonard Johnson- Tampa Bay Buccaneers
A.J. Klein- Carolina Panthers
Jake Knott- Philadelphia Eagles
Josh Lenz- Chicago Bears
Jake McDonough- New York Jets
Kelechi Osemele- Baltimore Ravens
Ahtyba Rubin- Cleveland Browns
David Sims- Philadelphia Eagles
Reggie Stephens- Baltimore Ravens
Seneca Wallace- New Orleans Saints

CALEA: The Status of CALEA at Baldwin Wallace University
Higher education institutions were initially exempt from CALEA compliance because they were considered "private networks." However, on August 5, 2005, the FCC (Federal Communications Commission), in response to a request by law enforcement, extended CALEA compliance to include facilities-based Internet service providers. This included most college campuses due to their capacity of providing public access to the Internet. Subsequently, a private network is now defined as a network that does not have the ability to interconnect with the public Internet, or, in the case of VoIP, to interconnect with the public switched telephone network (PSTN). For a copy of the FCC report, go to: http://www.educause.edu/LibraryDetailPage/666?ID=EPO0528.
The Information Technology staff at Baldwin Wallace has arrived at the conclusion that the University IS exempt from CALEA due to its inclusion in the definition of a private network. Although BW is claiming the exempt designation, the University understands that it could still be required and must be willing to assist any Law Enforcement Agency (LEA) in obtaining information for a CALEA-related requested. It is also the intention of the University to move forward with this issue as mandatory compliance for all colleges (following the FCC evaluation of the number of colleges/universities who claimed exemption) is anticipated.
The following list covers items related to this issue that have been discussed and how each will be handled:
Campus-Wide Authentication:
One of the first pieces of information we will be expected to provide is where John Doe has been (from a network perspective) during the time period in question. This could be accomplished by having campus-wide authentication and turning on the associated logging of that information in order to determine the address or addresses that John Doe has been using. This would require the proper software and hardware support from the law enforcement agency.
Everyone using our wired network (all students in residence halls or anyone using one of our computer labs or desktop computers) is required to authenticate in order to access the campus network. Our wireless network allows both authenticated access to the campus network and non-authenticated access to just the Internet. Non-authenticated access is limited to three hours/day before re-authentication is required.
Temporary Accounts:
While there are no direct references or opinions in the CALEA regulations that state that casual users (such as visitors, conference attendees, or others involved in campus life or the academic community) need to authenticate, moving toward that goal through the use of temporary accounts could be useful. It does not appear to be a requirement at this time, however from the standpoint of assisting a LEA, the more information we could provide about individual users who have accessed our network, the better.
The Information Technology Department at BW has been using temporary accounts for visitors of the University library to allow access to the campus network. The library requires proper identification from any guest requesting to access the network prior to issuing a temporary account.
IP Address/MAC Address Tracking:
On the BW computer network, most IP (Internet protocol) addresses are dynamic. If requested, we are able to match a particular MAC (media access control) address to a particular IP address in order to assist a LEA. For example, if John Doe is connecting his laptop at various locations within the University, then his IP address will vary. However, by logging the IP address and the associated MAC address, there is a much greater probability of finding the IP sessions John Doe has initiated. This is not fool proof as MAC addresses can be intentionally manipulated by someone with the knowledge to do so.
The IT Department has also started to dynamically assign public IP addresses to the students living in the residence halls. This will facilitate easier identification of a particular student/user by simply knowing the IP address.
Flow Tracking:
Packet Duplication:
Another key element to any CALEA-related request may be the ability to duplicate the packets from the IP address being observed. We anticipate that (OSCnet) will be able to provide this service to a LEA if requested.
Time Stamping:
Any LEA requesting information will want accurate date and time information. The BW network uses NTP (Network Time Protocol) to ensure that any log files or real time captures reflect the correct time.
When a LEA presents a request for information on a person or IP address, they may also ask for the location of the device that person is using. By having the ability to associate a user to an IP address, a MAC address, and to a physical port, providing that information is possible.
For any CALEA-related inquiries at Baldwin Wallace University, the initial contact person will be the CIO, Greg Flanik. If the CIO is unavailable, the Senior Vice President, Dick Fletcher should be contacted. Once a subpoena has been validated, the appropriate IT staff personnel will be assigned to assist the LEA. University personnel will make certain that all requests are handled efficiently and with the utmost discretion and confidentiality, involving the minimum number of people possible.
Copyright Infringement PolicyCopyright infringement involves the reproduction or distribution of a copyrighted work without permission or legal authority. The unauthorized distribution of copyrighted material, including unauthorized peer-to-peer file sharing, is subject to civil and/or criminal penalties. Violations that occur on BW Internet traffic are reported to the IT Department by our service provider (currently OARnet).
Baldwin Wallace University, in compliance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) and Higher Education Opportunity Act (HEOA*), takes quick action when notified of an alleged copyright infringement occurring from a computer connected to the campus network. Incidents are referred to the appropriate campus officials and steps are taken to stop unauthorized downloading or distribution of copyrighted materials.
Actions resulting from the discovery of copyright infringement include the following steps:
- Identify the computer responsible for the violation and contact the owner
- Notify the owner to cease all further activity involving illegal file sharing or copyright infringement
- Require the deletion of illegally acquired files
- Notify the Director of Residence of Life and Judicial Affairs (resident students)
- Schedule an official hearing with Judicial Affairs (students)
- Require a written essay on the topic of copyright infringement (students)
- Impose probationary sanctions for residency (resident students)
- Possible probationary sanctions for athletic participation (students)
Some examples of Peer-to-Peer applications include but are not limited to:
- Ares
- BitTorrent
- eDonkey
- Kazaa
- Limewire
- Soulseek
The Department of Information Technology has also established the following practices to assist in preventing copyright infringement:
- Network Services utilizes an inline packet analyzer to regulate bandwidth and classify Internet traffic by application. Traffic is monitored for irregularities and suspected violations.
- Behavior analysis software is readily available to monitor the BW network when indicated.
- The Information Technology website features links to the University's Copyright Infringement Policy and Responsible Use of Technology Resources Policy.
- Printed copies of the Copyright Infringement Policy will be made available upon request.
- Posters dealing with network security issues, including copyright infringement and file sharing, are hung in public areas where students congregate (such as the residence halls and the student union).
- Updated information and campus statistics related to this issue will be posted on the BW Information Technology Web site.
- Annually, Network Services meets with IT management to discuss violation statistics of the previous year and consider new/other measures for addressing this issue.
Summary of Civil and Criminal Penalties for Violation of Federal Copyright LawsCopyright infringement is the act of exercising, without permission or legal authority, one or more of the exclusive rights granted to the copyright owner under section 106 of the Copyright Act (Title 17 of the United States Code). These rights include the right to reproduce or distribute a copyrighted work. In the file-sharing context, downloading or uploading substantial parts of a copyrighted work without authority constitutes an infringement. Penalties for copyright infringement include civil and criminal penalties. In general, anyone found liable for civil copyright infringement may be ordered to pay either actual damages or statutory damages affixed at not less than $750 and not more than $30,000 per work infringed. For willful infringement, a court may award up to $150,000 per work infringed. A court can, in its discretion, also assess costs and attorneys fees. For details, see Title 17, United States Code, Section 504, 505. Willful copyright infringement can also result in criminal penalties, including imprisonment of up to five years and fines of up to $250,000 per offense. (see www.copyright.gov)
The Higher Education Opportunity Act (Public Law 110-315) was enacted on August 14, 2008, and reauthorizes the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended (the HEA). The HEOA makes a number of changes to programs authorized under the HEA, authorizes new programs, and makes changes to other laws.
Higher Education Opportunity ActThe Higher Education Opportunity Act (Public Law 110-315) (HEOA) was enacted on August 14, 2008, and reauthorizes the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended (the HEA). The HEOA makes a number of changes to programs authorized under the HEA, authorizes new programs, and makes changes to other laws.
Compliance with the HEOA and, in particular, provisions related to combating copyright infringement on campus networks, is required by July 1, 2010. Copyright infringement involves the reproduction or distribution of a copyrighted work without permission or legal authority and this practice can result in civil and/or criminal penalties.
All members of the BW community are provided bandwidth to access commercial entities such as iTunes, Amazon, and various competitors of legal alternatives for downloading materials.
In response to the HEOA, Baldwin Wallace University has established internal practices which address the copyright infringement issue:
- The Strategic Plan for Information Technology includes an initiative which establishes a network security training program for students, faculty, and staff.
- The Information Technology Web site features links to the University's Copyright Infringement Policy and Responsible Use of Technology Resources Policy.
- Posters dealing with network security issues, including copyright infringement and file sharing are hung in public areas where students and faculty congregate (such as residence halls, the student union, and faculty lounge).
- Updated information and campus statistics related to this issue will be posted on the BW Information Technology Web site.
- Network Services utilized an inline packet analyzer to regulate bandwidth and classify Internet traffic by application. Monitoring for irregularities related to peer-to-peer traffic is conducted.
- Network behavior analysis software is readily available to monitor the network when indicated.
- Annually, Network Services staff will meet with IT management to discuss the violation statistics of the previous year and consider new/other measures for addressing this issue.
- All DCMA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act) notices are investigated and processed.
- Violations that occur on BW's Internet traffic are reported to the IT Department by OARnet; this initiates a sequence of events as follows:
- The computer responsible for the violation is identified.
- An e-mail is sent to the violator notifying them of the infraction.
- When the violator is a resident student, copies of the e-mail are also sent to the Director of Residence Life and Judicial Affairs.
- The student has three days in which to respond and schedule a hearing.
- A typical penalty would result in the student:
- Being expected to delete all files.
- Ceasing from any further illegal activity of this sort.
- Writing a paper about copyright infringement.
- Being put on residential (and sometimes athletic) probation for a period of time.
- Within budgetary allotments, IT will consider new opportunities to offer legal alternatives for downloading or acquiring copyrighted materials and address any newly emerging copyright issues as they come along.

here's the situation:
i had my bow tuned in, proper arrows, good broadheads and was driving tacks at 50 yards. now i cannot get an eight inch grouping at 20 yards. i have no idea what happened, and i took my bow to the local bow tech who knows his stuff as good as anybody else, and he couldn't figure out what was wrong either. i shoot a mathews switchback xt at 70# with easton axis arrows (340) and 100-grain G5 striker broadheads.
my problems started when my rest wouldn't lay over consitently, so i changed it out for a Rip-cord rest. paper tuned it and it was dead nuts. then i started noticing that on occasion my arrows would go anywhere they wanted, and not where i wanted them to. when i fire an arrow it leaves the bow straight and then it turns at about 12-15 yards. i have no idea what could cause this.
the other thing is that with field points the arrows fly true and i hit X's every time. as soon as i put a broadhead on the arrows fly any direction and i can see them altering the course. i've tried 7 different types of broadheads, three different arrows, different spine strengths, different draw weights, adjusted my rest and nock point down and up and nothing makes any difference. like i said, field points fly great, but anything else and the arrow literally turns at about 12 yards. the riser doesn't appear to be bent, and if it is it's tweaked so slightly that it isn't noticeable. i'm at a loss.
my tech suggested that i use some Rage mechanical broadheads just to get me through the season and so i'm off to see if i can get them working like i need but i was just wondering if anyone has ever had this type of problem or can think of something else to try to fix it. i appreciate any help.

I have SoundTrackPro and I'm considering of switching to Logic Pro. Is there any difference between the two?
migrated from avp.stackexchange.com Jan 24 '14 at 18:14
This question came from our site for engineers, producers, editors, and enthusiasts spanning the fields of video, and media creation.
SoundTrack Pro is specifically targeted at creating and mixing music for video production. It has knowledge of SMTPE and other video-audio synchronization technologies and the layout is geared towards viewing video and audio simultaneously so you can score, mix and master to the visuals.
Logic Pro is targeted at just creating, mixing and mastering music. It's optimized for viewing multitrack audio, editing audio samples, working with MIDI data and other primarily audio-specific functions.
As of Logic Pro 8, SoundTrack Pro has been shipped as a sub-component of the entire Logic Studio suite of tools. So buy Logic, get SoundTrack Pro. With the release of Logic Studio 9 we're up to SoundTrack Pro 3. So buying Logic Studio doesn't mean giving up SoundTrack Pro.

BRUSSELS (AP) - The German government says Chancellor Angela Merkel has called President Barack Obama after receiving information that U.S. intelligence may have targeted her mobile phone.
Merkel spokesman Steffen Seibert said Merkel made clear in Wednesday's call that "she views such practices, if the indications are confirmed ... as completely unacceptable" and called for U.S. authorities to clarify the extent of surveillance in Germany.
A statement from Seibert said the German government "has received information that the chancellor's cellphone may be monitored by American intelligence." The government wouldn't elaborate but news magazine Der Spiegel, which has published material from NSA leaker Edward Snowden, said its research triggered the response.

I would look into unit 61 or 62. Call Bob Sundeen with Trails West Outfitters as that would be my first choice.
I'm going to try and use my points for next year and would like some recommendations. I will have 7 points going into next year and want to do a guided hunt for a good bull in Wyoming. I have been a subscriber for years and have the mrs that I read regularly. Just asking if you guys had that many points what area and outfitter would you be looking at?
I plan on rifle hunting but would also entertain a bow hunt if the quality of the hunt would be better. I live in Kentucky so I would to get the opportunity to hunt a great area and see lots of animals.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Safe hunting to all
I would look into unit 61 or 62. Call Bob Sundeen with Trails West Outfitters as that would be my first choice.
I sent ya a private message.
Why waste the money on an outfitter unless you want to go into the wilderness. If you are doing rifle a good unit should be slam dunk with a little effort
***This sounds like a comment from a person who has either never hunted elk before or has hunted them for so long that he's so good at it that he takes it for granted! I'd also recommend Bob Sundeen, as stated above, or Jake Clark. Both guys are well know as hard working, honest gents that hunt great areas and will get you on a good bull most of the time.

Ex-Students' Association
Correspondence Work by Resident Students
Correspondence courses are not intended to be taken by students enrolled in residence except in unusual circumstances. A student enrolled in residence must have the prior approval of his or her dean to count correspondence work toward degree requirements. Correspondence courses taken from the University of Texas at Austin and used toward a degree at the University are subject to the same pass/fail rules that apply to courses taken in residence.
A student who enrolls in the University of Texas at Austin must drop any correspondence work in progress or obtain the approval of his or her academic dean to continue the correspondence work.
Course Placement and Credit by Examination
Students at the University of Texas at Austin have the opportunity to determine course placement and to earn credit by examination. Some examinations are required for enrollment in certain courses, while others are optional; most serve as a basis for course credit.
Any current, former, or prospective University of Texas at Austin student may attempt to earn credit by examination for any undergraduate course provided the student has neither passed nor failed that course. Credit by examination will not be given for a course the student previously passed or failed at the University or any other collegiate institution. (When a student transfers credit for a course from another institution with fewer semester hours than the corresponding University course carries, the student may earn credit by examination for the University course, but only with the symbol CR.) Additional eligibility requirements may be established by the academic department awarding credit with the approval of the dean of the college or school. Information about additional requirements is available at the Measurement and Evaluation Center and at the academic department. Although prospective students may take examinations to establish their eligibility to receive credit, credit is awarded only to officially enrolled[7] students or to former students.
A student enrolled in college-level courses in the Division of Continuing and Extended Education may attempt to earn credit by examination under the same rules as students currently or formerly enrolled in resident credit courses at the University. At least one college-level course must be completed before credit by examination can be awarded.
Credit by examination satisfies degree requirements in the same way as credit earned by passing a course, except that it does not count as credit earned in residence. Credit earned by examination does not jeopardize eligibility for scholarships that require freshman standing. The student's official transcript does not reflect unsuccessful attempts to earn credit by examination.
A student becomes eligible for credit by examination by earning a grade of C, B, or A. Credit may be accepted by the student with either the letter grade or the symbol CR (credit only). Credit accepted with a letter grade is used in calculating the student's grade point average.
Credit by examination is not reported to the registrar until the student advises the Measurement and Evaluation Center whether to report a letter grade or the symbol CR; a student may claim credit[8] only by logging onto the Center's Web site at http://www.utexas.edu/academic/mec. A fee is assessed for each report. The Web site gives a full explanation on how to petition and pay for credit by examination.
In deciding whether to petition the Measurement and Evaluation Center to report credit by examination to the registrar, students should consider the University's policy for a possible tuition rebate at graduation. See Chapter 3 for information on tuition rebates for certain undergraduates.
The choice of the symbol CR does not affect the number of semester hours for which a student may enroll on the pass/fail basis. Credit by examination may be accepted with the CR designation in both required and elective courses, except in the College of Communication, where an eligible student must accept a letter grade rather than the symbol CR in the major. After credit has been reported to the registrar, the choice of letter grade or the symbol CR may not be changed.
A student's academic dean may approve an exception to the course placement and credit by examination policies for compelling academic reasons. Where the exception involves the student's eligibility to be tested or to receive credit by examination in a particular course, the exception must also be approved by the department in which the course is offered.
The faculties of the Colleges of Liberal Arts and Natural Sciences encourage students enrolled in those colleges to earn credit by examination in as many subjects as possible, including the student's major.
All tests administered at the University of Texas at Austin for course placement and credit by examination require a fee. Information, including the testing schedule, eligibility requirements, test descriptions, sample questions, and the amount of test fees, is available at http://www.utexas.edu/academic/mec, or may be obtained by sending the name and address to which the information should be mailed and two first-class postage stamps for each handout requested to the Measurement and Evaluation Center, P O Box 7246, Austin, Texas 78713-7246. The academic subject, specific test, and other topics about which information is needed should be stated. The center is located at 2616 Wichita Street. The telephone number is (512) 232-2662, fax (512) 471-3509.
Examinations required for course placement. The following tests are normally given on the University campus immediately before each semester and the first summer term, during most summer orientation sessions, and at least once each fall and spring semester. The College of Communication Grammar, Spelling and Punctuation Test and the Department of Journalism Word Processing Test are not given during summer orientation.
Optional examinations. The following optional tests serve as bases for credit by examination at the University of Texas at Austin.

Has anyone done the early Kaibab hunt recently? Have not drawn any tags this year and will never have enough points to hunt the late. I think I will burn what I have and hunt this year.
Has anyone done the early Kaibab hunt recently? Have not drawn any tags this year and will never have enough points to hunt the late. I think I will burn what I have and hunt this year.
I hunted it 2 years ago and my dad 2 years before. Tough hunt. Can be a decent hunt if you go guided. Great genetics but a very tough season. Don't expect to see a 160+ deer DIY but there's always a chance.
My wife drew it a couple years ago on two points. The advice I got from some guys who were very knowledgable on the area was not the spend the money or time on the hunt and to walk from the tag, and that is what we did.
On the other hand, you can draw an awesome Coues deer tag with only a few points. May be worth looking at.
I hunted it a couple years ago. Very tough hunt and low success rates, even if guided. Last year while hunting NM my guide stated the success rates for the outfit they run in the same area. Horrible numbers, so I didn't feel so bad.
Big deer there and you have a chance at a monster, but its all high timber and not fun hunting. Best hunting is over bait, which is what most guides do. I didn't know that going into it. Not my thing. People jockey to sit over the best water holes or bait with big deer coming in. Got ridiculous with the guides. One spot had someone on it 24/7, just to keep others off. I hunted mainly over water holes or trails leading to water. I also had 8 trail cameras set up over water i wasn't hunting, which I rotated to new ones every couple days. Had photos of one shooter in 9 days. Saw some deer during the trip, but there are better states to hunt when using your hard earned vacation. Might be a place to hunt when retired and want to spend a month learning it and narrowing it down. But like I said, even guided hunts didn't do so well.
Saw a lot of buffalo. Easy to get and you have the option to buy that tag if drawn for the deer tag. Wish I bought a tag because I easily could have zeroed in on buffalo. Very predictable once you find them. Impressive animals. Just massive.
Thanks guys for the input. My other thought was to to do a Coues hunt. I only have a few more days to figure it out.
Apparently buffalo tags are available for anyone who draws a 12A tag. Couldn't find it in the regs but was noted in the Huntin Fool.
I will be using my points on coues hunts. The strip is virtually impossible in my lifetime.
I have enough points to draw a good late season Coues tag but have never hunted Coues before. Just wondered if a newbie would have a decent shot of taking a good buck DIY? When does the rut really kick in. If I decide to hunt this year I would hunt the opener 12/13-12/18 in unit 23. Any thoughts?

(USA TODAY) -- President Obama called Friday for ending the National Security Agency's ability to store phone data from millions of Americans, and asked Congress, the Justice Department and the intelligence community to help decide who should hold these records.
In a long-awaited speech on government surveillance policies, Obama defended bulk collections of telephone and Internet data as important tools to combat terrorism.
The president also said civil libertarians have raised legitimate worries about the potential for abuse, and that he is seeking to balance the demands of national security and with the needs of personal privacy.
"we have to make some important decisions about how to protect ourselves and sustain our leadership in the world, while upholding the civil liberties and privacy protections that our ideals -- and our Constitution -- require," Obama said during his speech at the Justice Department.
He added, "we cannot unilaterally disarm our intelligence agencies."
In the near term, Obama will modify the program to require a judicial finding every time the government seeks information from the phone database, officials said.
Obama will ask Attorney General Eric Holder and the intelligence community to deliver a report within 60 days on how to handle the program in the long term. The president will also consult with the relevant committees in Congress on their views.
A special committee appointed by Obama last year has recommended that telephone metadata by held by a third party, or the phone companies themselves. But some phone providers have balked at the latter idea.
The address concludes a months-long review of NSA policies, spurred by news leaks from former contractor Edward Snowden about the scope, reach, and possible abuses of spying programs.
Obama made two references to Snowden, saying at one point that "I'm not going to dwell on Mr. Snowden's actions or motivations. I will say that our nation's defense depends in part on the fidelity of those entrusted with our nation's secrets."
The president also called on Congress to authorize "a panel of advocates from outside government" to raise possible privacy and civil liberties concerns within the special court that oversees the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act and approves warrants for snooping.
He will also call for new rules on surveillance of foreign leaders, an issue that has created diplomatic friction in recent months.
President Dilma Rousseff of Brazil canceled a state visit to the United States last year over news that her government had been spied upon. German Chancellor Angela Merkel protested directly to Obama about NSA activity.
Obama has defended the NSA, saying that surveillance programs are essential tools in preventing terrorist attacks.
After the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, Obama noted, government officials and citizens demanded that intelligence agencies improve their performance in order to break up future plots.
"Laboring in obscurity, often unable to discuss their work even with family and friends, they know that if another 9/11 or massive cyber-attack occurs, they will be asked, by Congress and the media, why they failed to connect the dots," Obama said.
The president also said, "the men and women of the intelligence community -- including the NSA -- consistently follow protocols designed to protect the privacy of ordinary people."
The president's NSA speech will not end the privacy/security debate, however.
For one thing, Congress must sign off on many of Obama's proposals.
The surveillance programs are also the subjects of multiple lawsuits, and the security-privacy issue could wind up before the Supreme Court.

After doing some reaserch the Bruins will not give up Subban or Spooner for Iggy. After seeing Spooner a few games and knowing goalie Subban will not play for the Bruins for quite sometime this is not in the Bruins best interest in their quest for the cup this season.
The Bruins need an Iggy type player, but seem to be looking at St. Louis and others to help them. This is one fan who believes Iggy is the player the Bruins should push for and PC should not hold the Bruins back on on unproven players. The Bruins are in need of scoring and some energy which Iggy could provide.
It seems PC cannot get the high profile players because he seems to very stuborn, but Iggy could be a very good player for years instead of waiting for young players to devolpe. IT could buy time for these players to develope with a very good player to help them.
I have been a Bruins for 55 years and very seldom have I seen a Bruins team go after a big player going into the playoffs. If they really want to win their 7th cup they have to make a big move. PC should for the Bruins and all of us fans please trade for IGGY.


text: I'd keep him on the roster any day over Ryan Sweeney, Daniel Nava, Mike Carp, etc. We know what those guys can do. He would get At bats, being able to spell Gomes (who's not a full time player), Victorino for a game here and there, and Ellsbury once every week and a half.

Ford Cobra 427 Small-Block - We Make Our Small-Block Ford Run!Written by on October 1, 2012 Ford Cobra 427 Small-Block – Part 2 of 2
So last month we removed the old, heavy 390 big-block Ford out of our '67 Ford test truck and added a new Ford Racing 427 small-block crate engine. We installed the engine, and to our surprise, we were able to shed 200 pounds off the front end and we gained 122.4 horsepower with 139 lb-ft of torque at the wheels, thus increasing the power to weight and making the truck handle that much better.
We were also able to squeeze a total of 362.4 horsepower and 429 lb-ft on the chassis dyno while still having a very reliable, and more importantly, drivable engine. Remember the transmission, rearend, brakes, and wheels all rob power so our dyno numbers are great.
We were also able to test the truck at El Toro with the old motor and the new Ford Racing 427. We tested the truck last year at the 2011 Truckin Throwdown and this year the road course and stop box were much longer. The first test for the truck was the 600-foot slalom course and Scott Call ran 7.22 this year compared to 7.03 last year. Scott said that with the new engine being a lot lighter and faster he was not used to the way the truck handled. I believe with a few sway bar adjustments Scott could have improved the times, but he only had a total of three runs in the slalom.
Quarter mile times from last year were 14.81 with the 390 FE and 13.51 with the new Ford Racing 427. The new engine knocked 1.3 seconds off last year's quarter-mile time. WOW! Where the truck really shines is at the autocross track and on a road course. Since the '67 spends about 50 percent of its time at the track, it has been set up to handle corners really well. Scott said he felt huge improvements in throttle response at lower rpm and was really impressed when rolling on the throttle out of turns. Normally when watching the truck, you can't really tell how fast the truck is going. But after Scott got used to the way the truck handled, and Pike Kelly made a quick sway bar adjustment, you could really tell the added power and reduced weight woke the truck up. We made an effort to build a reliable engine using data from Ford Racing and help from a reliable parts house such as Speedway Motors.

Since we dropped the engine as low as possible we wanted more clearance at the rack-and-pinion return line. We removed the 7-quart oil pan to see if we could shave the corner of the pan and checked out the nice internals. The oil pump is in the same place, but since we have a Fatman IFS, the oil pickup is placed toward the rear.Talk about built-in engine protection, Ford uses an oil pan on the 427 that helps control the oil. The oil trap helps hold oil at the oil pump pickup under hard cornering and acceleration.We used Fel-Pro gaskets on the entire engine. We made sure the intake was clean and the surface of the engine was also clean. Using gasket singe, we installed the intake gaskets.ARP bolts and thread sealer were used on all the bolts that go into the water jackets. All of the external parts were ordered from Speedway Motors.Our Edelbrock 7581 intake manifold didn't have a provision for this crossover, so we sealed it with the provided Fel-Pro gaskets.Oh man, this always makes me nervous when applying such a big glob of silicon. I personally like the Permatex Grey for sealing intakes and oil pans. If you are not sure on how much sealant to add on your engine, then you can dry fit the intake and visually inspect the gap. This way you could add more silicone than needed and wipe off the excess.Make sure you tighten the intake to specs and in order. If you are using ARP bolts like we were, then use their torque specs.Now is a good time to prime your oil pump to make sure you don't dry start the motor. I have heard of horror stories of guys not priming the oil system and making a mess of the new motor.
Ford has two marks on the crankshaft balancer that are used for different engine and water pump configurations. Don't make the mistake and use the incorrect timing mark. Hopefully you can see the timing indicator that is used for this application.Part of getting the engine running is providing coolant flow and a charge for the battery. In this case, Rob Mckeown, the owner of the truck, ordered a March Performance serpentine belt kit from Speedway Motors.OK, back to making this thing run. Rob installed a new gear on an MSD Pro Billet distributor and used plenty of assembly lube on it before installing. The camshaft in your new Ford Racing motor may require a special cam gear so make sure you read the instructions on what cam gear your engine plays nice with.As per MSD, "The MSD 6 Series Ignitions feature a capacitive discharge ignition design. The majority of stock ignition systems are inductive ignitions. In an inductive ignition, the coil must store and step up the voltage to maximum strength in between each firing. At higher rpm, since there is less time to charge the coil to full capacity, the voltage falls short of reaching maximum energy, which results in a loss of power or top end miss. The MSD Ignition features a capacitor, which is quickly charged (within one millisecond) with 460-480 volts and stores it until the ignition is triggered. With the CD design, the voltage sent to the coil is always at full power even at high rpm."The carburetor was picked not only for its cool black finish, but it is really light. Holley claims the new Ultra HP is 38 percent lighter and increased the fuel capacity by 20 percent. Holley also says the newly designed carb has "Internal baffling to help control fuel slosh and minimize float level fluctuations in hard launching or cornering situations."The carb is only as good as the fuel supplied to it, so we used a -06 dual fuel line with a Holley high-volume pump on the engine.Since we pushed back the engine, we thought we might have to custom make headers. After trying countless header combinations, we found the Doug's headers fit realty well. The only problem was that we didn't get the headers that were coated and forgot to treat the headers after fitment. After the testing at the track we removed the exhaust and took it over to Embee Coating in Santa Ana, California, where Jeff Conrad helped us get the headers and exhaust back on track. Rob selected a gray coating for the complete exhaust system.
First thing Ernie did was to check the timing with a good timing light. Each engine is a different, but for the most part, 10-14 degrees initial timing should get the motor to idle OK.Next Ernie checked the total timing by holding the throttle at 2,500. Total timing for a small-block should be around 33-35 degrees (street engine). We were getting 35 degrees of total mechanical timing, but our motor wanted a higher initial timing.MSD has a chart on the back of the distributor box that will tell you how to change the timing curve. The engine was getting too much mechanical timing from 14 initial to 35 total. Ernie swapped out the small busing under the cam mechanism from the blue MSD bushing to the black MSD bushing. This will help limit the overall mechanical timing from 14-35 to 17-35. We wanted to give our motor more initial timing so that the idle quality and low-rpm drivability were better.With the mechanical timing set, we can focus on when the mechanical timing starts advancing. Ernie swapped one light mechanical advance spring to what he called a garage door spring on one side. Ernie ran the truck on the chassis dyno to find out if the spring swap was making power or not. It did improve the overall numbers.Most carburetors come slightly rich. Manufactures do this because if you run the engine lean, things tend to fail. On our Holley carburetor, the air cleaner bolt is hiding an intergraded idle bypass valve. This feature can help when running a radical camshaft or fine tuning the engine idle by allowing increased or decreased air inside the carb.Since our carb was running slightly rich at full throttle, Ernie changed the main jets to lean the engine out at wide-open throttle. It was as simple as removing four bolts and unscrewing a jet. One of the other cool features about the carb is that the gasket-sealing surface has been redefined to reduce the chances of fuel leaks.The power on this Ford 427 small-block was very impressive. Check out those dyno numbers. 362.4 horsepower and 429 lb-ft on the chassis dyno– wow! This truck is going to fly, thanks to Westech and Ernie tuning it.Here, Scott is blasting through the 600-foot slalom course trying to beat last year's time. We ended up taking so much weight off the front end that the suspension was reacting different than Scott was used to. He did a 600-foot slalom at 7.22 seconds.
