Nature's great masterpiece, an elephant—the only harmless great thing —John Donne
Elephants are a fascinating species. Besides the fact an adult elephant poops 80 pounds of fecal matter everyday, which is equal to the weight of an average 7th grader or Jennifer Aniston, elephants have a complex social system that may surprise you.
Elephants live in families comprised of a matriarch leader, three or four offspring and new young. Contrary to humans, males do not emerge as the group leader, nor take on the role of provider/protector for the herd.
Instead, adult males lead a solitary life, leaving the work of child rearing to the females. Oh, wait….perhaps there are more similarities between elephant and human behavior than previously acknowledged.
Caring for young is a priority in this species. Orphaned elephants are quickly adopted by other lactating females. Young nurse from their mothers for four to five years, and once weaned, the males continue to live in the family herd until they are expelled between 12-15 years of age. The female young will continue to live with their mother, even after giving birth themselves.
Elephants acquire the majority of their behavior and skills through observation and guidance by the adults in the herd, thus they spend numerous years in close proximity to their mother. Related families meeting at the waterhole greet one another with affectionate touching, caressing and entwining trunks.
The herd cares for injured and ill members and appears to grieve over the death of herd members. They use complex communication, and can send vocalizations to other elephants up to six miles away. Additionally, loud alarm calls by a herd member will result in the adults forming a protective circle around the younger, more vulnerable members.
In the early 1990s, efforts were made to control the elephant population in Kruger National Park in South Africa by killing the parents and relocating the young to other parks. Essentially, groups of young were moved to a new environment, without regard to the natural herd structure. Thus, these young had no teachers, no role models and no social group to guide behavior.
In a healthy elephant structure, males reach puberty in their mid teens; mating however, is withheld until their late 20s, early 30s. In the new environment however, the lack of mature adult males wandering through herds for receptive females, resulted in the orphaned juveniles mating at an earlier age. Testosterone abounded, as did aggressive behaviors.
By 1999, it was evident the orphans had become a group of dangerous, hostile gangsters. Having lacked parental and social guidance, this group began to attack and violently murder rhinoceroses. Many of these were the endangered white rhino. All in all, 39 rhino deaths were recorded.
Nine of the gangster's were shot by park rangers; the remaining delinquents were given a stay of execution until further interventions were attempted.
In a desperate effort to manage the devious orphans, a number of adult bulls were released into the park. These adults immediately took an active mentoring role with their cohorts, preventing the juvenile males from breeding. The resulting decline of testosterone lead to an immediate stop of the violent attacks.
Since the induction of the bulls, not one other rhino murder has occurred. The re-establishment of an elephant hierarchy disrupted the negative path the juvenile delinquents had started down. One could say that's a pretty impressive Big Brother program.

3/12 Pentagram
And your thoughts? I'm actually really interested to hear your take on the album and my review.
I really think Herbrand Larsen's contributions added a ton to the album.
3/12 Pentagram
I love the softer melodic parts of the album. It all contrasts so well... this album has a better chemistry than the first two (I know some would disagree with that). I think it's every bit as monstrous as the previous two albums, but in a less oppressive way, which I'm absolutely fine with.

10. Church of Misery - Master of Brutality (2001)
(Southern Lord Records)
Church of Misery may very well be the undisputed (and unchallenged) kings of Japanese stoner/doom. But that's not just because they're competition is so limited. These disciples of sludge earned plenty of credibility with their first two releases, Taste the Pain and Church of Misery, so it wasn't a surprise when Yoshiaki Negisi (vocals), Tomohiro Nishimura (guitars), Tatsu Mikami (bass), and Junji Narita (drums) dropped the supremely heavy EP Master of Brutality. Recordings that feature music this slow and thick rely completely on the groove capacity of the musicians involved. The riffs simply must be charged with an essence that's difficult to describe but immediately recognizable to aficionados of stoner/doom. When done right, a certain timelessness comes into affect. It's as if metal never wandered so far away from its simplistic, psychedelic roots -- as if this wasn't just another subgenre in what has become an incredibly segmented form. There's plenty of said magic and ability on Master of Brutality, as each of the five original tracks (that just as with prior Church of Misery releases are each based on different serial killers) pound mercilessly through repetitive, yet sublime stoner figures. There are no high or low spots, no weak tracks to be avoided, or embarrassing experiments. On this 2001 Southern Lord release there are just six (including one Blue Öyster Cult cover) relentless, sonic clubbings. Any serious fan of low and slow metal has a hole in their collection until they acquire Master of Brutality.
Ripping Into Pieces
09. Saint Vitus - Born Too Late (1986)
(SST Records)
Born Too Late is undeniably a defining effort in the spirit of the early, now considered "classic" doom metal sound. The marriage of vocalist Scott "Wino" Weinrich, founder of Maryland's D.C. area legends the Obsessed and L.A.'s own legendary doom pioneers Saint Vitus, produced a sound and lyrical landscape that was not commercially successful in its own right, but which has inspired and continues to influence myriad popular culture figures such as the Melvins, Nirvana, L7, Fugazi's Ian McKay, Black Flag's Greg Ginn (owner of SST, Saint Vitus' label) and Henry Rollins, Monster Magnet, Kyuss, Electric Wizard, Eyehategod, Grief, Sleep, Cruevo, and a list of bands, musicians, and genres too long to list without writing a novel. Long after Black Sabbath had shifted their sound away from the bombastic, sludgy riffing of classics like Paranoid, Masters of Reality, Vol. 4, and the like, Saint Vitus and the Obsessed rose from regions that were birthplaces and breeding grounds for early-American hardcore punk. While identifying intensely with the independent and socially critical nature of those scenes, Saint Vitus's sound was deeply rooted in the gloomy ballistics of early Sabbath. Born Too Late's sludgy, ultra-slow riffs never break out into the galloping rhythms of, say, "Children of the Grave," however. This album is like Black Sabbath on Quaaludes and wearing lead suits underwater. Each chord rains down like a hammer, and each progression takes an eternity to resolve. In the early '80s, while everyone in the pop music culture was looking for the new sound, be it new wave or hardcore, Saint Vitus were decidedly retro. You don't even need more than the name of the album's title track, "Born Too Late," to get the point. But Wino drives it home anyway, with the lines "every time I'm on the street/people laugh and point at me/they talk about my length of hair/and the out of date clothes I wear." The lyrics go on to point out that while "they say [his] songs are much too slow," they also "don't know the things [he] knows." That's for sure. Before almost anyone else had even realized that rock was on its death bed, Saint Vitus were looking back on the '70s with nostalgia. Throughout, the album is what might be considered a cliched retrospective of that bygone era's heavy metal sentiments. Dragons, psychedelic drugs, images of war, and severe alcohol abuse dominate the landscape. The most important consideration with this album, though, is not the originality of the approach. What separates Born Too Late from nearly all heavy metal up to that point was the outright admission that the band's passion - slow, heavy music - not only lacked commercial viability, but was in fact itself a source of the ridicule and social alienation the music speaks to. The punk rock style integrity of the band's commitment to that sound and image was in direct opposition to the money and chicks attitude of L.A. glam metal of the day. While the impact Saint Vitus made with Born Too Late at the time was minimal, the legacy of that early dedication has influenced and changed the world of music. For all fans of grunge, stoner rock, and doom metal, this album is a classic.
Dying Inside
08. Boris - Amplifier Worship (1998)
(Southern Lord Records)
With their second full-length album, Boris takes their sludgy, Melvins-influenced doom rock style and gives it a heavy psychedelic slant. The album is divided into five tracks, but like their other albums, Absolutego and Flood, it plays out like one extended piece and is meant to be listened to straight through in one sitting. It starts out with a slow, ugly doom riff that repeats for several minutes before heading into a stretched-out, psychedelic jam section on the lengthy second track, "Ganbou-Ki." After another succession of heavy riffing, psych-rock jamming, and a little bit of up-tempo punk action (the first part of "Kuruimizu," which still retains a Melvins-like feel), they move into several minutes of spacey, surprisingly pretty guitar/bass picking, similar to much of what's on Flood. Finally, they settle into a dense guitar/bass feedback drone à la Earth for the lengthy final track, "Vomitself." The album as a whole feels like a sort of journey in terms of how it opens in one vein, moves through various other sections, and then closes in yet another style, but it also maintains a consistent mood (and they don't use the word "doom" to refer to this type of music for nothing). In any case, Amplifier Worship proves Boris to be on the more innovative (not to mention heavy) end of the sludge/doom metal spectrum and is recommended to open-eared fans of the style; casual listeners, on the other hand, will probably have trouble getting into the album, since it does require some patience.
07. Autopsy - Mental Funeral (1991)
(Peaceville Records)
At a time when many of his band's better-known contemporaries (Death, Sepultura, Morbid Angel, etc.) were putting all their energies into finessing the death metal genre in numerous different ways, Autopsy's sophomore album, Mental Funeral, took the opposite route, reflecting bandleader, vocalist, and drummer Chris Reifert's oft-stated goal to create the "sickest shit imaginable." That's not to say it wasn't groundbreaking in its own perverse way, though, and we're not talking about the gory lyrics or slightly improved production standards either, but rather Reifert and company's apparent discovery of doom metal. Album opener "Twisted Mass of Burnt Decay" may rip into action at a manic pace, but it steadily downshifts in tempo to pave the way for a slew of form-challenging death/doom creepers -- most notably the spine-freezing "In the Grip of Winter," grossly distasteful "Torn from the Womb," and organ necrotizing "Destined to Fester." When the band does give vent to its adrenalin (see grindcore exercise "Bonesaw") or wavers back and forth between blistering and slothful extremes, the results can be both stunning (see the glorious "Robbing the Grave") and self-indulgent (the overlong "Hole in the Head"), but they're certainly never easy to predict. Meanwhile, Reifert shows the same range on his battle-scarred vocals as he does behind his kit, spanning the decibels between bowel-vacating croaks through spleen-bursting shrieks, and so do guitarists Eric Cutler and Danny Coralles, whose savage, remorseless rhythm parts are frequently at odds with their agile, melodic leads. Sadly, while it won over as many fans as it pissed off upon release, Mental Funeral arguably confused an even greater number of consumers, turning Autopsy into death metal's ultimate love/hate band, the one no one seemed able to agree on -- not least the bandmembers themselves, as a series of increasingly inconsistent and controversial albums that brought on a speedy demise just a few years later would soon show.
In The Grip of Winter
06. Ufomammut - Idolum (2008)
(Supernatural Cat Records)
Not exactly the most prolific band in the Universe, space metal ensemble UFOmammut waited all of four years between their first two albums, 2000's impressive Godlike Snake and 2004's sonic atershed, Snailking. Then, with the exception of the bite-seized Lucifer Songs EP in 2005 and a collaboration with Lento in 2007, they left earthlings waiting yet another four years for their third album proper, Idolum, to arrive -- like a faithful comet returning, right on schedule, to the inner solar system after its long and mysterious orbit out to the Oort Cloud. And despite this long absence, UFOmammut's sound also remains largely unchanged and surprise-free, since Idolum continues to meld doom, stoner rock, metal, acid, and space rock into a distinctive crush of thrumming guitar sludge, atmospheric passages, and predominantly raw, distorted screams. Hypnotic opener "Stigma," for starters, provides a typically escalating opening sequence, while the more dynamic "Stardog," though punchier and almost grunge-like in nature, also treads familiar ground; leaving it to the ensuing "Hellectric," in turn, to pump up the space rock ambience tenfold and explore some new textures along its wafting, weaving voyage through the ether, and foreshadowing somewhat more uncharted musical dimensions yet to come. These include the album's emotional highlight, "Ammonia," where UFOmammut fess up to their Pink Floyd influences with the help of haunting female vocals à la "The Great Gig in the Sky" (performed by Rose Kemp); the rhythmically insistent "Nero," which, with its multiple moods and bouts of chiaroscuro, borders on the post-rock universe populated by Isis, Cult of Luna, et al; and, the comparatively concise mega-blast of "Destroyer." All that's missing, then, is the album's mandatory closing monolith, "Void," which, in line with past examples, lasts a veritable eternity at nearly 30 minutes, but also produces multiple points of interest along its long space odyssey, including its eerie, Kraftwerk-ian intro, protracted fidgeting with alien frequencies halfway through, and quite expected, but still devastatingly effective concluding catharsis. All in all, the above balances enough familiarity and inventiveness to satisfy acknowledged UFOmammut believers, while both converting and generally wowing the newbies in the audience. It is therefore safe to proclaim the security of UFOmammut's lofty standing alongside similarly visionary leviathans such as Electric Wizard and Opeth, for possessing one of the most recognizable and individualistic sonic imprints in underground heavy metal.
05. YOB - The Unreal Never Lived (2005)
(Metal Blade Records)
YOB has never exactly been easy listening. They are masters of doom metal -- slow, heavy, ominous, forceful headbanger music with a strong appreciation of Black Sabbath (whose riffs have been a primary influence on the doom/stoner/sludge field). But the Oregon residents have managed to increase the heaviness factor somewhat on The Unreal Never Lived, which favors a generally thicker, more distorted sound than their previous releases. That isn't to say that YOB has turned into one of the many ultra-dense, ultra-claustrophobic metalcore or death metal bands that believes in bruising for the sake of bruising; even with the increased heaviness, The Unreal Never Lived is not the type of metal album that goes out of its way to be harsh. Nonetheless, the thickness factor has definitely increased for YOB -- and another thing that makes The Unreal Never Lived come as a bit of a surprise is Mike Scheidt's lead vocals. Scheidt, in the past, was known in doom/stoner circles for his high-pitched vocals; he was arguably the doom equivalent of Rush's Geddy Lee or Cradle of Filth's Dani Filth. Scheidt can still hit the high notes, but this time, he surprises you with a lot of deep, guttural death metal-ish growling -- not the sort of thing one expected from him on previous albums, but it works nicely on this 2005 recording. Despite those changes and adjustments, The Unreal Never Lived still has YOB written all over it. These guys are still doom all the way, and they continue to enjoy extended performances; "The Mental Tyrant," for example, lasts 21 minutes. Bottom line: The Unreal Never Lived is a pleasant surprise that will probably be well received by the majority of YOB fans but may help them acquire some new ones.
Grasping Air
04. Sleep - Dopesmoker (2012)
(Southern Lord Records)
The saga of Sleep's Dopesmoker was already almost ten years in the making by the time of its belated release in 2003. Originally slated to follow closely behind their second album of a decade earlier, the landmark Sleep's Holy Mountain, it lingered in unreleased limbo instead -- the subject of a vicious legal dispute between the Northern California trio and their record company, London, which refused to release Dopesmoker as delivered by the band -- that is, a single, 60-minute-long song! The impasse eventually led to the stubborn band's ignominious dissolution circa 1997 rather than conform to the label's demands, leaving fans waiting for an album that most assumed would never be heard. But come 1999, an incomplete, disjointed version of the recordings was cobbled together and released by Rise Above Records with the title Jerusalem. Unfortunately, this version sounded oddly ragged in places, with senseless digital song divisions and an abrupt, obviously chopped-off ending; so for all intents and purposes, the ideal work as envisioned by Sleep clearly remained unrealized. Thankfully, all these glitches were finally corrected for the definitive, band-sanctioned 2003 edition of Dopesmoker, which bears a top-notch production job courtesy of Billy Anderson (Helios Creed, Natas, etc.) to boot. Revealed here at last, in all of its colossal glory, Dopesmoker is at once an instant doom metal classic -- some might even say a masterpiece -- as well as an impossibly dense, nearly impenetrable listening experience for unprepared fans (just to give you an idea, the first vocals only arrive 16 minutes in). Meticulously composed in the style of Gregorian chants as interpreted through the ears of Black Sabbath, "Dopesmoker" esoterically describes -- get this -- the "Weedian" people's pilgrimage to the "riff-filled land." But lyrics aside -- and there are precious few here to justify stressing over them -- what skeptical listeners must take into account here is that "Dopesmoker" is in fact a single song, not a series of song snippets stitched together progressive rock style. As such, this initially daunting edifice of snarling riffage requires quite a bit more patience and dedicated sampling before its secrets are unlocked and its riddles unraveled, but therein lies the crux of what is ultimately a very rewarding experience.
Now down to the top three.......
Last edited by hb420; 05-27-2012 at 11:12 PM.
my points:
1. I love that Church of Misery album, but I think I like their other releases just a bit more. I'd actually probably put Houses Of The Unholy at the top.
2. It took me forever to get into Born Too Late, because I started with the self-titled and listened to it FOREVER. But now I really, really like it. Title track is a killer live, too.
3. That's my favorite Boris album, and in my top ten albums of all time. Seriously god damn perfect.
4. >Autopsy
Killer album though.
5. Dopesmoker. Essential. Nuff said.
can't wait to see your top 3!
05/27 - Visceral Disgorge
05/28 - Horrendous
05/29 - Hellbringer
05/30 - Denouncement Pyre
I think it's time you reveal the last three albums
8/31 - Sleep
11/10 - Judas Priest
11/14 - Slayer
03. Black Sabbath - Master of Reality (1971)
(Vertigo Records)
With Paranoid, Black Sabbath perfected the formula for their lumbering heavy metal. On its follow-up, Master of Reality, the group merely repeated the formula, setting the stage for a career of recycling the same sounds and riffs. But on Master of Reality Sabbath still were fresh and had a seemingly endless supply of crushingly heavy riffs to bludgeon their audiences into sweet, willing oblivion. If the album is a showcase for anyone, it is Tony Iommi, who keeps the album afloat with a series of slow, loud riffs, the best of which -- "Sweet Leaf" and "Children of the Grave" among them -- rank among his finest playing. Taken in tandem with the more consistent Paranoid, Master of Reality forms the core of Sabbath's canon. There are a few stray necessary tracks scattered throughout the group's other early-'70s albums, but Master of Reality is the last time they delivered a consistent album and its influence can be heard throughout the generations of heavy metal bands that followed.
Into The Void
02. Electric Wizard - Dopethrone (2000)
(Rise Above Records)
As Deep Purple's Roger Glover once said, "Heavy isn't about volume, it's about attitude." And no band better illustrates this statement than England's Electric Wizard -- the reputed heaviest band in the universe -- whose every album has managed to push the boundaries of down-tuned, grinding, monolithic doom metal to unprecedented depths. Sure, they pack plenty of volume as well, but none of it could possibly work without the band's uncompromising worship of weed and all things gothic and malevolent. After a long hiatus (during which they were no doubt traveling the cosmos without ever leaving their parent's basements or putting down their bongs), Electric Wizard finally returned to action in the year 2000. The resulting dirge masterpiece, Dopethrone, delivers walls of sound so dense that at first they seem too big to fit into your ears. At a paltry three minutes, the opener "Vinum Sabbathi" may be the Wizards' first true candidate for an actual "single," but it really serves as a teaser for what's to come. Introduced by short spoken intros taken from B-movies a la White Zombie, extended riff-monsters like "Funeralopolis," "I, the Witchfinder," and the three-part colossus "Weird Tales" are vintage Electric Wizard. Though they never exceed a snail's pace, they somehow manage to build in intensity, from single note guitar lines to huge power chords with deliberate, maddening certainty. First-time listeners will find it easier to cope with more compact offerings like "Barbarian" and "We Hate You," but with time, they'll see the light and embrace the obscenely heavy title track, with its patented "Iron Man" oscillating riff. In short, with Dopethrone, Electric Wizard has raised the bar for doom metal achievement in the new millennium -- good luck to the competition.
Now just one more.......

Cheney, WA (Sports Network) - Collin Chiverton scored 18 points to lead the
Eastern Washington Eagles past the Southern Utah Thunderbirds to a 86-72
decision in a Big Sky Conference matchup at Reese Court.
Chiverton went 5-of-8 from the field and knocked down three 3-point attempts
for the Eagles (8-17, 6-9 Big Sky), who have now won two in a row after a two-
game slump. Parker Kelly scored 15 points while Tyler Harvey added 11. Martin
Seiferth put together a double-double with 13 points and 10 rebounds to go
along with four blocks.
For the Thunderbirds (10-15, 8-8), Jackson Stevenett scored 26 points and
corralled eight rebounds while going 14-of-16 from the free-throw line. A.J.
Hess drained five 3-pointers on his way to 24 points. SUU's setback marked its
third consecutive loss.
After the Thunderbirds shot just 29.0 percent from the field in the first half
and EWU shot 50.0 percent, the Eagles took a 39-31 lead into halftime.
In the second half, the Eagles shot even better at 57.1 percent and outscored
the Thunderbirds, 47-41 over the final 20 minutes.
In total domination, EWU outscored SUU in the paint by a 38-12 margin. The
Eagles also shot 53.7 percent from the field while holding the Thunderbirds to
32.8 percent shooting.

Park Tool CN-10 Cable Cutters
The CN-10 Cable and Housing Cutter is a shop quality cutter designed specifically for use on all bicycle cables and housing, including hard-to-cut index housing. The CN-10 has cold forged, heat-treated steel handles for strength and precision ground cutting jaws for a clean cut on every cable. Dual density molded grips are specially contoured for superior comfort and control. The CN-10 has a built in crimper for cable end caps and a forming hole for reforming housing ends and housing ferrules. A wire latch holds the handles together when not in use.
These guys work really well. If there's a clipper out there that cuts brake housing without leaving a little metal flake over the hole, I will revise my rating to Four stars and give that clipper Five. I think the lack of flakes in housing has more to do with the quality of the housing than it does with the clippers, though.
They do better than the old side cutters I was using. They feel sturdy like they will last a long time
You can cut 1000s of cables. These last a lifetime plus the built in cable crimps are really good. Love this tool!

Killer Ford 460 - Biggest Of The Three BlocksWritten by John McGann on June 10, 2012
Ford 460 - Hands OnIn spite of our reputation as Chevy-worshipping fanboys, we really do appreciate diversity here at CC. Therefore, we'd be remiss if we didn't include a big Ford 460 build in this Budget Big-Block issue. The build we initially had lined up didn't work with our deadline, but fortunately, Brian Hafliger of IMM Engine and Dyno in Indio, California (and builder of the Dodge 400 in this issue), had a customer with a Ford 460 that needed to be rebuilt.
Brian's customer will use this Ford 460 engine in his off-road racing truck and needs it to make max power somewhere between 4,000 and 5,000 rpm. He also needs it to get good gas mileage. Of course, good is a relative term--his previous 460 struggled to average 3 miles per gallon. These constraints affected the choices Brian made when picking parts such as the cam and the intake manifold, but we still like this build because, like the Dodge, there are no exotic parts in this recipe, and it's something any of our readers can build at home.
This is the biggest displacement engine of the issue, and we're expecting the highest horsepower and torque from it. The price of the build will also likely be the highest because we're using aftermarket cylinder heads here, unlike in the Dodge and Chevy engines. Use this build as an outline for planning a 385-Series big-block Ford of your own. No matter what, a 460 offers huge potential for big power numbers.
More Photos From This Article View Slideshow
For this version, we stuck with a simple 0.060-inch overbore and used the stock crankshaft. After all, the crank looked good, as did the main bearing saddles, which were all in alignment. The new 4.420-inch bore size increases the displacement to 473 ci. Random factoid: The 429 and 460 are the two members of Ford's 385 engine series. They were manufactured at the Lima Engine Plant in Lima, Ohio, and were in production between 1968 and 1997. We've seen dozens in the local self-service junkyards here in Los Angeles. Get one from a truck for cheap.While mocking this block up, Hafliger found that the deck surfaces were neither parallel with the main journal bore nor were they the same front to back. No worries, though—he intended to zero-deck the block, anyway.The big-ticket items for this build are Trick Flow Specialties' Power Port 290 cylinder heads. Brian chose them for this application because they have slightly smaller port sizes than some other aftermarket heads. The smaller ports raise velocity into the cylinders and offer a good compromise between power and fuel economy. With a potential for max valve lift of 0.650 inch, these things can accommodate a really big cam.Production 460 cylinder heads suffer from very restrictive exhaust ports. Not so with the ports on these Trick Flow castings. The exhaust runners measure 130 cc, but the raised exhaust-port location requires the use of a Cobra Jet header.Those are 2.200/1.760-inch valves in 74cc combustion chambers. They come with a three-angle valve job, manganese bronze guides, and Viton seals. The intake runner measures 290 cc.We ripped this chart off of TFS' website. While it's good to be skeptical of manufacturers' numbers, based on our firsthand experience with Trick Flow's heads, we have no reason to doubt them. If you can afford these heads, they are a great buy with the potential to make tons of power. On a lower budget? Look into Ford Racing's M-6049SCJA Super Cobra Jet or Edelbrock's 60669 Performer RPM heads.Aftermarket rocker arms are a good investment for this build considering the sustained 4,500 rpm this engine will see in competition. While manufactured to the original 1.73:1 ratio, Trick Flow's rockers are a lot sturdier than the OE stamped steel rocker arms.Hafliger told us the stock connecting rods in 429/460 engines are weak and should be replaced in any performance build. Scat provided this set of forged H-beam connecting rods. They are bushed for a floating wristpin.
Though this is a race engine, there is no need for forged pistons. Keith Black's hypereutectic pistons are more than up to the task. This combination of flat-top pistons, 74cc chambers, zero deck, and Cometic's MLS head gasket with 0.043-inch compressed thickness yields a compression ratio of 12.4:1."This manifold is a work of art," Hafliger says of Edelbrock's RPM Air Gap for 429/460 engines. It accepts either spread-bore or square-bore carbs and mounts to the standard intake port locations. The air-gap feature will be beneficial considering the truck will race in hot, desert conditions.Here's our 460 ready to run on IMM's DTS engine dyno. Ignition consists of MSD's Pro-Billet distributor and 8.5mm wires. We used Holley's 950hp carburetor and a pair of Hooker's Super Competition headers designed to fit Cobra Jet cars (Summit PN HOK-6201HKR). We didn't include the carburetor and headers in the price list because those choices vary per application. End

WHEELING - Having scored at least three goals just twice in their last nine games, including Saturday night's 3-0 loss to Atlantic Division-leading Reading at WesBanco Arena, it would be safe to say the Wheeling Nailers could use an infusion of offense. They hope to get that today in Elmira when Chris Barton returns from the American Hockey League and Veilleux plays his first game after serving a 10-game suspension.
''Our top line will be Barton, (Paul) Crowder and Keven and they will be able to go against anybody,'' Wheeling (21-17-9 - 51) coach Clark Donatelli said.
That certainly wasn't the case against the Royals (32-12-6 - 70) who are closing in on clinching not only a playoff berth, but the division crown. Reading held Wheeling to 19 shots, none of which could be considered especially tough stops for winning goaltender Brandon Anderson, who entered with an .884 save percentage.

''Our (defense) hung in there and they played well. It's just our compete,'' Donatelli said. ''We didn't show up.
''That's a good Reading team and we hung in there. But we didn't get pucks to the net and we didn't get many shots.
''It just wasn't a good night overall for our guys.''

Referee-Andy Thackaberry (22); Linesmen-Francis Trempe (85), Shaun Morgan (71).
The Royals held a 1-0 lead going into the third period thanks to a wicked one-timer off the stick of Stanislav Galiev at 14:51 of the first. David Vallorani served up a cross-ice pass that Galiev whistled past Wheeling goaltender Peter Delmas (19 saves) for a power-play goal, his ninth overall on the season.
''Delly played well and we held them to 22 shots. That's a helluva feat against that team,'' Donatelli said. ''It's 1-0 after two and to come out in the third period and give them two quick ones, that's unacceptable from some of the guys.
''Even some of our better players didn't have a good (game).''
The Royals quickly made it 2-0 as captain Yannick Tifu, stationed all alone in front, took a pass from Nikita Kashirsky who was behind the net, and pounded it past Delmas for his 18th.
''When they smell blood they go after it. They know how to end games,'' Donatelli said. ''That one took some life out of us.''
Twenty seconds later Reading put it away as Kashirsky found himself alone and buried his sixth of the season.
The Nailers head out onto the road to battle a Jackals club that sits one point ahead of it for second place in the division, and they do so with the hope the offense returns in the forme of Veilleux and Barton.
''It's a tough building to go into and play, but we won last time we were in there and nothing changes,'' Donatelli said. ''There's bad blood between us all the time.
''We'll go on the bus and get ready for a 4 p.m. game. It's a huge game for us.
''We're going to come out and take it to them and battle.''
Though Wheeling will have a couple of additions to the lineup, another forward - Scott Zurevinski - will not make the trip. He injured his hand in a fight Thursday night against Gwinnett but battled through the pain to play against Reading.
''Zurevinski has been playing well, but he's banged up,'' Donatelli said. ''It's no excuse, but his calf is bothering him and his hand is hurt - he had a helluva fight the other night and punched a guy's helmet.
''It might be broken.''

Panama City Beach Fire Rescue responded to a gas station Sunday after a car started leaking gallons of gasoline.
It happened around 3:00 p.m. at the Tom Thumb off Back Beach Road. First responders said a leaking gas line on the vehicle may be to blame. Authorities said about 15 gallons may have been leaked, causing part of the gas station to stay closed for more than an hour as crews cleaned up the gas.
Hazmat crews were called out as a precaution, but they said there was no danger for nearby motorists.

Yes, Roman roads tended to be straight, when they could be, except when close to extreme geography - mountains, rivers, canyons, etc. Such could be said of some meso-American road systems as well. By and large most societies did not build straight roads until late in the modern era.
However, do all fantasy world, have a "Roman Empire" that built straight roads in the past - of course the answer is, it depends. Many fantasy worlds do not have an historical advanced technology culture that has fallen into ruin, yet still have some straight roads as left-over architecture.
Comparing to Earth history, you have a point, and only limited, since not all fantasy based realms are based on Earth history, near Earth history... you can't depend upon that as a "trueism".
Interesting thoughts, though.

For years with the knowledge, and some suspect the consent, of the Egyptian government, human trafficking has been going on in the north-eastern part of the Sinai with Bedouins from the Rashaida tribe holding human refugees hostage, demanding unbelievable sums of money for their release.
The hostages, mainly from Eritrea but also from Ethiopia and Sudan, are often kidnapped in South Sinai after fleeing their violent countries; some kidnapped even from the UNHCR refugee camps in the region, then transported to the Sinai where they are held in underground locations or buildings housing up to 100 people. They are subjected to unspeakable torture as the kidnappers try to press ransom money from the hostages' relatives. For this purpose the kidnappers hand cell phones to the hostages and force them to call their relatives at home or overseas, begging for enormous sums of money that can reach $50,000 per person.

Moustakas named Texas League Player of the Year; Poldberg named Manager of the Year
Kansas City prospect Mike Moustakas has been named the Texas League Player of the Year for the 2010 season. In addition, Northwest Arkansas Naturals' skipper Brian Poldberg was honored as the league's Manager of the Year. Both awards were announced Monday by Texas League President Tom Kayser.
Moustakas played with the Naturals from April 22-July 17 prior to his promotion to Triple-A Omaha. Prior to shifting to the Pacific Coast League, the third baseman led the Texas League in all three "Triple Crown" categories, batting .347 with 21 home runs and 76 RBI. He also paced the circuit in slugging percentage (.687) as the Naturals ran away with the North Division first-half title.
The 21-year old Northridge, Calif., resident also was selected to represent the Royals in the All-Star Futures Game, has brought home several weekly awards, was Texas League Player of the Month in May, and was named to the mid-season and post-season Texas League All-Star teams.

Wistey and Brouillette Earn Big 12 Honors
AMES, Iowa – The Iowa State swimming and diving team took home Big 12 Conference honors in both categories today as senior Imelda Wistey was named Swimmer of the Week and sophomore Elyse Brouillette was awarded Co-Diver of the Week. This is the first time that Wistey has received a weekly award from the conference, while this marks the second for Brouillette, her first coming in December of 2012.
Wistey is the first Cyclone to receive the Big 12 Conference swimmer of the week award since Nan Liu did so in December of 2009. This marks the 11th Big 12 Conference diver of the week award in Iowa State school history, two of which belong to Brouillette.
Last week, when the Cyclones hosted TCU, Brouillette finished second in the 1-meter diving event with a score of 271.12 and first in the 3-meter diving event with a personal best of 329.48. Brouillette's dominate performance on the 3-meter board put her 48.31 points ahead of the second place finisher, 9.07 points behind the Iowa State school record held by six-time All-Big 12 honoree Tien Tran, and 11.25 points behind the pool record held by Kendra Melnychuk of Missouri.
During the same event, Wistey's three first-place finishes earned the Cyclones 29 of their 139.5 points. Wistey started the evening with a 0:28.63 split in the 200 medley relay, helping her team claim first in the event. Just before the first break, Wistey clocked a time of 1:03.49 in the 100 breaststroke, an event that she holds the school record in (1:01.35), for another top finish. Finally, in the 200 breaststroke, Wistey notched her third first-place finish of the night with a time of 2:19.67.
Returning ISU most valuable diver, Brouillette sits fourth all-time in school history in the 1-meter event (295.58), second on the 3-meter board (329.48), and fourth on the platform (232.58). Wistey, school record holder in the 100 breaststroke, is the eighth-fastest in school history in the 200 breaststroke (2:18.25) and 11th all-time in the 200 IM (2:04.64). Wistey has also been a part of the second-fastest 200 medley relay team (1:40.84) and 400 medley relay team (3:42.90) in school history.
Wistey and the rest of the Cyclone swimmers will travel to Topeka, Kan. for the three-day Kansas Invitational. The Iowa State divers will resume action on Dec. 6 as they travel to Iowa City to take on the field at the Iowa Invitational.

Assistant Principal/Athletic Director Eric Johnson was named acting principal in his absence.
The announcement came after Englert's arrest Thursday for what Windsor Police Sgt. Rick Klinek called a "domestic violence dispute." Court records show Englert was arrested on suspicion of assault/causing injury with a deadly weapon, child abuse (no injury), harassment and domestic violence.
Klinek said Englert's son was present during the incident. Klinek also said the incident occurred at Englert's home and had "nothing to do with the school." Court records show Englert was released on personal recognizance.
Weld Re-4 Superintendent Karen Trusler declined to discuss the situation because it is a "personnel issue."
Johnson posted a letter to the WMS website Monday morning.
"While this sudden and unexpected change of leadership is sure to raise many emotions, questions or possible concerns for our entire school and the community which it serves, I want to assure you that our staff, district leadership and myself are resolved to maintaining the highest standards of educational excellence for which this district, and Windsor Middles School specifically, have become known," Johnson wrote.
Englert, 56, has worked at WMS since 1994 and is known around town as "Mr. E."
"I am actually just shocked," said Elisa Haworth, who had two children go through Windsor Middle School. "I think there would have to be some sort of, I don't know, story behind it or something because there is no way Mr. E would do anything that wasn't in the best interest of a child, the student body or the community."
Haworth served on the PTA for five years and called Englert an "amazing man" and "a pillar in the community."
"... He's completely dedicated to the school, to the community. I don't know, I just don't believe he could have done something to hurt a kid," Haworth said. "Everybody knows Mr. E. Everybody loves Mr. E."
"Everybody's innocent until proven guilty," she added. "And I would be flabbergasted if he was guilty of doing anything against a child."
Most Weld County offices are closed for Veterans Day, so additional details about the case will not be available until Tuesday.

Weirton Madonna has a tough road ahead with games against state-ranked Bishop Donahue and Notre Dame, as well as a Steubenville Catholic team that puts up points at will.
With that three-game stretch on the horizon, Madonna coach Doug Taylor might want to make sure his team doesn't get too ahead of itself as Bridgeport invades Jimmy Carey Stadium on Saturday.
The Blue Dons have been nothing short of spectacular in the past two weeks with lopsided victories against Fort Frye and Cameron.
Needless to say, Bridgeport coach Rudy Vavrock knows his team has a tough task in front of it.
''They are very athletic and can score a lot of points,'' Vavrock said. ''They have an explosive offense and a very quick defense.
''Right now, they are playing a lot better football than us. The biggest problem is that they have so many weapons, you can't concentrate on one thing. They can hurt you in a lot of ways.''
Ross Comis leads the Blue Dons charge at quarterback. The junior is the pure definition of a dual threat as he has averages more than 120 yards per game running and throwing the football.
Against Cameron, he threw for 114 yards and three touchdowns, while rushing for 135 yards and a highlight reel touchdown run.
Joining him in the backfield is a dangerous duo in Nick Ossman and Eliott Nero.
''We are going to have to be able to move the ball and try to keep them off the field,'' Vavrock said. ''I also think we can't let them have that quick touchdown. If they start going 60 yards in one play all the time, we are going to be in trouble.''
It hasn't been smooth sailing this season for Vavrock and the Bulldogs. They have stumbled out of the gate to a 1-4 record and have been outscored 72-13 in the past two games, losses to Frontier and Buckeye Trail.
''We just haven't played very well,'' Vavrock said. ''We haven't played well enough to win and we have to get better.''
Cameron had success running the ball against Madonna last week so Bridgeport could rely heavily on tailback Dallas Fields.
The 5-foot-8, 175-pound senior leads Bridgeport with 94 carries for 483 yards (96.6 per game) and four touchdowns.

I swore off Garneau after 3 separate items fell apart on me, but gave this a try because it had good certifications for the price range. The person I bought it for likes the fit and it adjusts perfectly to her. I just hope I never have to find out if this really does hold up.

Almost as soon as it seemed a reality, a rematch between Nick Diaz and Carlos Condit is not happening.
When contacted today by MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com), Diaz manager Cesar Gracie said "no" when asked if a rematch recently announced is a reality. He declined further comment.
UFC president Dana White issued a tweet late Tuesday that said Condit had accepted a rematch with Diaz and was headed to Las Vegas on Friday, presumably, to finalize a contract for the fight.
Condit manager Malki Kawa did not respond to a request for comment on the status of the bout but today confirmed the rematch via Twitter.
This past Saturday at UFC 143, Condit earned a unanimous decision over Diaz to become the UFC interim welterweight champion and set a fight with undisputed champ Georges St-Pierre sometime this year. The pay-per-view event took place this past Saturday at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas.
Diaz said he would retire shortly after the decision was handed down. UFC president Dana White then said he would understand if Diaz wanted to retire but also entertained the possibility of a rematch with Condit as St-Pierre healed from the torn ACL that scratched his scheduled meeting with Diaz and this past Saturday's event.
Condit, of course, edged Diaz with a technical gameplan that went unappreciated by many fans, especially those who supported Diaz. Nevertheless, his interim championship guaranteed a bout against St-Pierre that was based entirely on St-Pierre's readiness.
St-Pierre, meanwhile, told "UFC Tonight" he would relinquish his belt to fight Diaz despite plans for a fight with Condit.
But for now, it appears he will meet Condit when his knee heals.
In an interview Tuesday with MMAjunkie.com, Gracie anticipated Diaz would return after a layoff from the sport and wished Condit luck for his fight with St-Pierre.
For complete coverage of UFC 143, stay tuned to the UFC Events section of the site.

Comments about Park & Sun Spectrum Classic Volleyball Net System:
This product is honestly the best out there if you are a serious player and can afford it. If you want a quality net that does not tip over, blow in the wind, or fall apart, then I suggest this one. End lines came a little frayed, but called the company and no questions asked, sent me new end lines. [...] The net/pole tighten loops are great, allows a really straight/taut net.
