A Year In The Life Of Eric Rickman: 1965Written by on October 22, 2012 Contributors: Eric Rickman
GOLDEN. Was this the best year in the history of hot rodding? A lot of baby boomers seem to think so. Those old enough to have witnessed this transformative era are quick to argue that the mid-'60s was the golden age of drag racing and muscle cars, at least. Although quantum leaps in street and strip performance lay just ahead, 1965 was the model year that delivered ponycars and supercars from all divisions of Detroit's Big Three, each attempting to cash in on the '64 GTO's surprising sales success. Chrysler's 426 Hemi became widely available, finally. Chevrolet made 396s and 427s available to the masses. Exotic overhead camshafts transformed Ford's ho-hum 427 into a fearsome weapon from Stock Eliminator to Top Fuel. Thanks to new M&H tires and zoomie headers, the 200-mph barrier that finally fell the previous season was regularly penetrated.
Perhaps more significant, this season is fondly remembered as the last before NHRA allowed foreign cars to take over traditional Supercharged Gas classes, displacing the Willys cars and trucks, Henry Js, early Fords, '55 to '57 Chevys, and Studebakers that Americans loved. Worse, these traditional gassers were being displaced as the fastest full-bodied vehicles by radical, new-model factory hot rods (which, in turn, would soon be rendered obsolete by the fiberglass Mercury Comet replicas that debuted with the '66 season). Most shocking of all, the Indianapolis 500 was won not by an all-American Offy roadster but by a back-motored European car.
Meanwhile, Vietnam was ramping up from what the politicians liked to call a "police action" into all-out war involving hundreds of thousands of American troops (average age: 19), inspiring the biggest protest movement since the Revolutionary War. Major cities set ablaze during race riots included Los Angeles, whose burning buildings were visible from Petersen Publishing Co. Never in our country's history had young people—including the vast majority of rodding and racing enthusiasts—been subjected to so many major changes at the same time.
As he had since 1950, Eric Rickman was duly recording the earthshaking automotive happenings of this incredible year on a daily basis. That's a very good thing, because the black-and-white film he exposed during those 12 months is the only surviving photographic documentation of many of the technical innovations and motorsports milestones that made 1965 arguably the brightest single season of the golden age.

JANUARY 4: It's said that a bad day fishin' is better than a good day at work, but a bad day of froggin' at the Pond ended prematurely after one freewheeling, disappointing San Fernando test run in 16.38 seconds (shown) and "a trip to the hospital to patch up a deep cut that was inflicted by a razor-sharp fender edge." Worse, HRM's dual Erics, Rickman and Dahlquist, were up against a hard deadline imposed by the 4-4-2 road test promised on the next cover—which was probably running on presses, already, because each issue's four covers were printed weeks ahead of inside pages. The staging lanes were cropped out of this shot, depriving us drag fans of what looks like Larry Dixon's green gasser, the baddest '55 in the Valley. (See Mar. '65 HRM, pg. 38: "Olds 4-4-2.")JANUARY 11: Has this or a similar photo of the GT350 hangar factory at Los Angeles International Airport ever been published? If so, we'll count on you Shelby worshippers to say when and where. The parts on the floor produced the trick, "R"-is-for-race version under construction for Rick's camera. (See Aug. '65 HRM, pg. 50: "Mustangs With Fangs . . . GT-350.")JANUARY 19: Would you believe E/Modified Production? Brian Chuchua's triple-Webered showpiece was as fast and beautiful as a Jeep could be, boasting pearl-yellow paint and chrome front and rear suspensions. Rickman followed up a series of buildup photos with a full feature session, but the only published ones we found were three shots in Rod & Custom (Sept. '65).JANUARY 18: As illustrated by the photographer's shadow, filling a frame like this with a fixed- lens camera necessitated getting just this close to the action, with nothing but half- buried tires (two of which have been unburied) between him and tons of FoMoCo's finest. Bob Thompson led Scotty Cain into Riverside Raceway's notorious Turn Six during a 500-miler won by Dan Gurney. (See Apr. '65 HRM, pg. 32: "Motor Trend 500.")JANUARY 12: It's Don Nicholson during an off day at Pomona Raceway, but we can't ID the unlettered A/FXer he's testing (Gas Ronda's, possibly?).Everything we found in HRM from this time period involved Dyno's all-conquering A/FX Comet, also equipped with the SOHC cylinder heads trickling down from NASCAR.JANUARY 20: Yes, that's Grandpa McCoy from The Real McCoys (1957-1963) at Lions Drag Strip. Inexplicably, HRM used nothing from either of the 12-shot rolls that Rick submitted to PPC's photo lab on this date. Luckily, Tommy Ivo (black jacket) is still around to fill us in: "I did an acting part in an episode of the Tycoon series," Tom explains. "Walter Brennan played a Henry Ford–type that ran an auto factory. We were drag racing each other on the street and got caught by the cops and given tickets for our deeds, plus community service, picking up trash. I told him I ran a dragster, and he was going to help me out with tuning it. He comes to the track to watch, but I get all messed up and don't show up myself, so, he jumps in the dragster and wins the race to save the day. Here, they've dropped 90-year-old Walter into the cockpit for a close-up. He went into the car with ease, but when they went to get him out, he was wedged between the axlehousing and the cowl and steering, and his legs wouldn't bend enoughJANUARY 25: Rick followed this fueler from bare tubing on Don Long's shop floor to its first time out, still unpainted. On January 23 at Fontana, Mike Snively made easy checkout runs of 8.47 and 8.57 seconds in Ed Pink's Old Master (later Bruce Wheeler's Wheeler Dealer)—a fast, famous car that's been flawlessly restored by Pete Eastwood. Second time out, Snively would take Top Fuel at Lions. (See multipart HRM series, "Project 200 MPH.")
FEBRUARY 1: Any wonder why E.J. Potter's exhibition vehicle of choice became known as the Widow Maker? Remarked HRM, "The Algon- injected 327 Chevy, which employs use of an Indy-type Offy clutch (clutch is used for starting, rear wheel is then jacked up on rear stand with clutch engaged and dropped down at the go signal), competes in AHRA's Unlimited Cycle class, had a best of 10.62 seconds at 139.10 mph on one of its very smoky runs." This brings bitchin' background bonuses: Beeline Dragway's sign and a classic Willys pickup. (See Apr. '65 HRM, pg. 83: "American Hot Rod Association Winter Championship"; also Aug. '65, "Goodbye Dolly.")FEBRUARY 1: AHRA's '65 Arizona meet may be the greatest event of Jim Tice's entire run as president and main NHRA competitor. Instead of preparing for Daytona, King Richard—dubbed "Dick Petty" in this photo's caption— was dragging the original Hemi 'Cuda after NASCAR banned the new 426 and Chrysler withdrew its factory teams in protest. Petty's brief straight-line career ended shortly thereafter with a fatal crash into a crowd. (See Feb. '65, pg. 48: "Petty's Powder Keg"; also Apr. '65, pg. 83: "American Hot Rod Association Winter Championship.")FEBRUARY 8: Wild Rose Genusso takes a victory lap after winning her Winternationals street- roadster class (note fenders) in boyfriend Tom McMullen's 12.98-second, 109-mph Deuce highboy. (See Apr. '65 HRM, pg. 34: "NHRA Winternationals"; also Apr. '63 cover story.)FEBRUARY 10: As mentioned in the Mar. '12 "Freight Train" cover story, partner Nye Frank and pilot Bob Muravez got off the Train to campaign this radical fueler. We wonder why only one photo from this feature session in Nye's Venice, California, front yard appeared in print, especially after the Pulsator won Best Engineered honors at the Winternationals. (See Aug. '65 HRM, pg. 94: "Streamlining— Dragster Dilemma?")FEBRUARY 16: Raoul F. "Sonny" Balcaen III, a pioneer manufacturer of compact-car speed equipment, developed a ram-tube intake reportedly good for 40 percent more power in a Corvair. (See June '65 HRM, pg. 74: "Corvair Economy Hop-Up.")FEBRUARY 23: "It's quality, not quantity, that qualifies Oakland as the Big Show among car shows," began two pages of color coverage. "Casper's Ghost put them all on the trailer at the 17th annual showing." The AMBR-winning roadster appears in the center left of Rick's frame. Carl Casper still owns it. (See June '65 HRM, pg. 36: "Oakland Roadster Show"; also Simoniz ad, Oct. '65, pg. 21.)FEBRUARY 23: Greg Sharp submitted an entire page of notes for this shot— not surprisingly, since he subsequently bought Dave Marasco's roadster pickup, then drove it for 34 years. Dave was on the Monterey Peninsula to observe Rick's session with Fred Marasco's aluminum F85-powered T, which Editor Bob Greene praised in the subsequent feature as "a monumental tribute to hot rodding. Some will call it the finest car ever built, and I wouldn't argue the point." (See Mar. '64 HRM, pg. 52: "From A to Perfection"; also May '65, cover and pg. 34: "Perfection to a T"; Oct. '69, pg. 98: "Golden State Streetster.")FEBRUARY 26: Gary and Jerry Mallicoat made history by making a turbocharged drag car work—and topping the brutal B/Gas Supercharged class at the recent Winternationals. Moreover, the twin owners were so young and broke that they were living in their parents' Gardena, California, house, where Rick shot a feature. We're happy to report that the Willys is being restored by Willy Dorsey. (See May '65 HRM, pg. 54: "Turbocharged.")MARCH 2: How hands-on were PPC staffers back in the day? Well, ad rep Bill Burke started hot rodding in the '30s and has raced at Bonneville since it began in 1949. Oh, and he's the developer of the belly-tank lakester, building 13 of the original models. This HRM cover car ultimately appeared in HOT ROD Mart (Sept. '66): "With tandem wheel trailer less eng/trans. Tube frame, mag wheels, fuel tank, gauges, chute $2200 obo." (See June '65 cover and pg. 38: "Bill Burke, Hot Rodding's 'Mr. Prolific.'")
MARCH 8: Rickman's camera caught Norb Locke's gas dragster just before its front engine sneezed the blower on Norb's first March Meet qualifying attempt. Two thousand miles from home (Wheaton, Illinois) with no spares, Norb hastily adapted the injector to the blower manifold and got the front engine running, but not well enough to contest the AA/Gas Flathead class (for which he held Standard 1320 national records of 10.27/150). The car was retired later this year after three successful seasons and all-time bests of 9.07 at 176 mph, on 30 percent nitro. Crewman Cliff Brush is pictured. (See May '65 HRM, pg. 46: "Fuel City U.S.A.")Mickey Thompson's front-drive M/T Challenger Wheel Special was equipped with a DOHC small-block Chevy with slide-valve injectors. After Bob Mathouser turned 154-mph practice laps on methanol, Mickey set it up for 15 percent nitro during qualifying.However, a mistake at the fueling station unknowingly delivered a 42 percent load that fried the exotic aluminum engine on its warm-up lap. (See May '65 HRM, pg. 44: "Little Cars for the Big Race.")MARCH 29: Reporting on a United Drag Racers Association meet at Pomona, HRM said, "Frank Pedregon claims to have 'World's Fastest Coupe,' perhaps it is. Wilson-cammed 392-inch Chrysler has turned 8.15, 185. Pedregon drives, also builds and tunes engines." You may have heard of Frank's three sons. (See June '65 HRM, pg. 72: "UDRA Fuelfest.")MARCH 23: Technical Editor Dahlquist, a 6-footer, demonstrates the massive trunk of a Chrysler 300L while road testing the 413-powered luxury liner. (See July '65 HRM, pg. 46: "Chrysler's Letter Car.")APRIL 6: Yeah, it's a Chevy! Both Ardun and Chrysler influences are obvious in the aluminum cylinder heads that Leo Lyons (right) spent five years creating.This 301ci engine pulled 638 hp on Isky's dyno. Rod & Custom had already shown it in the Babbit & Lyons dragster (Sept. '64), and later devoted a cover story to the promising concept (Mar. '66). HRM's Nov. '66 issue included a new-product release claiming "a new world's record for Chevys—205.83 at Long Beach in July '66." Anybuddy know what became of these trick heads?APRIL 6: The subhead leading into HOT ROD's feature called Dandy Dick's 111-inch-w.b., still-carbureted Coronet "the most controversial stocker ever built. It's also the quickest and fastest"—based on recent 10.20s at 138 mph during the March Meet. (See June '65 HRM, pg. 46: "Dodge Country.")APRIL 12: San Pedro's long-defunct Marineland was but one of multiple nautical scenes serving as fishy photo locations after Eric Dahlquist drove the new Marlin west from AMC's Kenosha, Wisconsin, headquarters. Despite a four-barrel 327 producing 270 hp, a sluggish 17.40 e.t. was recorded. (See June '65 HRM, pg. 28: "3000 Miles in a Marlin.")
APRIL 26: Unlike in Chrysler's naturally aspirated, gas-burning factory fleet, Jack Chrisman and other supercharged racers retained stock wheelbases—for now—but added nitromethane. (Those two prevailing trends would merge later this season into Mr. Norm's AWB, fuel-gulping Dodge.) Chrisman's transformation of the white Sachs & Son '64 Comet into a red '65 model included this neat, underhood installation of a 'cammer, set back 25 percent. HRM's feature gave bests to date of 9.79/160.48 but made no mention of the "new" car's 1964 Caliente origins. (See July '65 HRM, pg. 76: "Elapsed Time Bomb.")MAY 3: The louvered fenders in this sneak peek at Tommy Ivo's brand-new Video-Liner were instantly blown away by exhaust pressure. Rectangular slots above the headers solved that problem, but the swoopy body was reluctantly retired after performance lagged behind lighter, conventional fuelers. (See July '65 HRM, pg. 94: "Streamlining—Dragster Dilemma?")MAY 3: Developed by dragster pioneer Ollie Morris (Smokin' White Owl) of Offenhauser Sales Corp., the Cam-A-Go enabled exterior adjustment of cam timing in small-block Chevys. (See May '66 HRM, pg. 68: "A Hitch in Time.")MAY 11: A Casler worker demonstrates how all drag slicks were made before M&H Racemasters pioneered all-new construction. More affordable recaps remained acceptable to low-budget little guys on the street and strip through the late '60s. (See Dec. '65 HRM, pg. 78: "Legal Cheaters.")MAY 11: In this unpublished image from a story about VW performance parts, author Dahlquist helps EMPI's Dean Lowry drop a hot four-banger into the company's 400-pound (!) sidewinder. (See Aug. '65 HRM, pg. 30: "Beetlemania.")MAY 17: A.J. Foyt receives congratulations from official starter Pat Vidan (white coat) for taking the Indy 500 pole at 161.233 mph. Jim Clark's similar Lotus Ford would later notch the first win for a non-Offy since 1947, and the first for a foreigner since Dario Resta in 1916, notes Greg Sharp. (See Aug. '65 HRM, pg. 36: "Ford—New Era at Indy.")JUNE 4: Tom Medley hangs on tight as Dick Scritchfield gives his famous roadster the gas. Tom was selling ads for HRM at the time. Scritch was about to join Car Craft as an associate editor. (See Nov. '11 HRD, pg. 51; also HRD's '11 Best of the Best, pg. 65.)JUNE 4: Two fake phones just had to be twice as nice, right? George Barris must've thought so while building James Darren's Villa Riviera. This is the year that Earl "Mad Man" Muntz's stereo tape players really took off. This looks like an original model, which jacked four- track cartridges in and out with a vertical lever in the top right of the revolutionary unit. (See June '66 HRM, pg. 34: "Reel Rods for Show Biz"; also Sept. '11 HRD, pg. 62.)JUNE 21: Caught with his mask down, Bob Muravez raises an arm to preserve the identify of his alter ego, Floyd Lippencott Jr. (close call, whew!), while owner/builder Nye Frank checks tire pressure in Riverside's staging lanes. Before the unblown fueler became one of the few streamliners to reach 200 mph, vibration-induced ignition problems plagued the twin 365ci Chevy with erratic timing. The Pulsator survives, albeit with front skids that some subsequent owner installed for ice racing (ugh!). (See Sept. '65 HRM, pg. 36: "Riverside! Big Blast"; also Aug. 65, pg. 94: "Streamlining—Dragster Dilemma?")
JUNE 21: The highlight of Nando Haase's brief Top Fuel career was winning the second HOT ROD Championships. His booty included the brand-new Barracuda in the background, a groovy piston-rod trophy presented by Mr. Petersen himself, and a cover story. From left: Ray Brock, Haase, Pete, race queen (and Playboy Playmate) Jessica St. George, unidentified crewman, partner John Smyser, and Dean Moon (background). (See Sept. '65 HRM, pg. 36: "Riverside! Big Blast" and cover; also Nov. '65 cover and pg. 64: "Giddy-Up Haase.")JULY 6: Sixteen-year-old Donnie Beyer used driving skill and a stock, 75hp four-banger to upset more powerful V8s and V6s in the Jeep Grand Prix on the outskirts of Riverside, covering a 3.1-mile course in 5.68 minutes. (See Feb. '66 HRM, pg. 77: "4-Wheel Frivolity.")JULY 12: Boats have always generated hate mail from HRM readers, so it must've been ugly around here after Editor Greene devoted the cover and much of an issue to the breed. Here's an inside lead shot, captioned thusly: "With a load of family, Jack Cayer glides by in his ski/drag rig. Change required from quarter-miling to ski-pulling is slight." Sadly, that family would soon be left fatherless by a fatal drag-boat accident. (See Sept. '66 HRM, pg. 32: "The Spray Makers.")AUGUST 3: Someone in Craig Breedlove's shop did a good job simulating Bonneville's natural race surface beneath this scale model of the Sonic I under construction. (See Oct. '65 HRM, pg. 47: "Spirit of America Sonic I"; also Jan. '66 cover and pg. 50: "Those Magnificent Men and Their Speed Machines.")AUGUST 16: Here's the real deal, with Breedlove in the cockpit, crewman Paul Nicolini alongside, and tinsmith Tom Hanna behind them. In November, Craig's second jet car would bump the LSR to 555.12 mph. (See Oct. '65 HRM, pg. 47: "Spirit of America Sonic I.")JULY 2: Loran Sapp and Bob Mason chose a Hudson 6 with an Edmunds aluminum head and homemade injector to power their 11.92-second, 114.50-mph Anglia G/Gasser. Dig the matching uniforms of Loran and son Kelly—who was practically a grown man by the time Rick's feature finally appeared. (See June '67 HRM, pg. 104: "Little Toad.")AUGUST 16: A last stand for six-carb induction systems was made by traditional water racers such as Tony Maricich, whose circle-boat setup participated in a dyno comparison of various Edelbrock manifolds on a new big-block Chevy. "The poor boy's Webers, six I-9 Holleys on the X-1 Cross-Ram suction box, produced some 60 horses over the factory rigging," revealed HRM. However, its 363hp output at 6,500 rpm was virtually identical to that of dual AFBs on the same engine. (See Feb. '66 HRM, pg. 34: "Carbu-rating the Stovebolt.")AUGUST 16: Though Rick attended Goldenrod's test firing on Riverside Raceway's back straightaway, none of his historic images made the magazine. Subsequent shakedown runs on wet salt netted 250 mph at Bonneville, followed on November 12 by new wheel-driven records of 409.277 mph in the mile and 409.685 for the kilometer (two-way averages), with a one-way tops of 412.702. (See Mar. '65 HRM, pg. 44: "4 In A Row Gotta Go!"; also June '65, pg. 66: "Three-Ton Rod"; Nov. '65 HRM, pg. 86: "Summers on Standby"; Jan. '66 cover and pg. 50: "Those Magnificent Men and Their Speed Machines";)
SEPTEMBER 8: After five NHRA Nationals class victories, "Ohio George" Montgomery (near lane) finally fell to Stone, Woods and Cook in A/GS, despite Doug Cook's midtrack wheelstand. Montgomery later explained, "I stayed with the Chevy one year too long." He called Ford the day after Indy to request a SOHC 427. (See Nov. '65 HRM, pg. 66: "The Nationals.")SEPTEMBER 8: Twenty-five coats of candy gold covered Illinois customizer Dave Puhl's 289 Ford-powered custom coupe, which Rickman photographed during NHRA's Nationals. Its asymmetrical design was likely inspired by Dean Jeffries' Mantaray. The aluminum body was completely hammer-welded and leaded, sans Bondo. (See Dec. '65 HRM, pg. 52: "Illusion.")SEPTEMBER 1: Contemporary (and envious?) photographers who questioned Eric's creativity must've missed this lead shot of Goodyear's revolutionary, low-profile racing tire encircling the world's fastest motorcycle. The twin-Triumph–engined Gyronaut X-1 was conceived by Alex Tremulis (who also designed the Tucker automobiles), built by the Logghe Bros., wrenched by Stormy Bruflodt, and ridden to a record 245.667-mph average speed by Bob Leppan. (See Nov. '65 HRM, pg. 55: "Belated Bonneville: Hurry Up and Wait"; also Mar. '66, pg. 74: "Heir to the Throne.")SEPTEMBER 1: HRM proclaimed a match race between the blown, nitro-burning exhibition stockers of Arnie Beswick and Gary Dyer "the highlight" of the ninth annual World Series of Drag Racing in Cordova, Illinois. The Farmer opened his weekend by sailing off the end of the shutdown area and into a field after a best-ever 8.93/162.83 warm-up on Friday but returned to take two straight over 1965's quickest Funny Car. (See Nov. '65 HRM, pg. 76: "World Series.")SEPTEMBER 8: What a load for a little El Camino! Here's the only shot we've ever seen of the six- wheeled camper servicing Champion customers at IRP. (See Nov.'65 HRM, pg. 66: "The Nationals.")SEPTEMBER 20: This issue's coolest tow car has gotta be the Caddy hearse that hauled Buzz Coats's Mortician to the NDBA Nationals in Perris, California. The twin-Chevy flat-bottom topped Unblown Fuel Eliminator. (See Dec. '65 HRM, pg. 42: "NDBA Hot Water Battle.")SEPTEMBER 27: Walt Arfons' radical Wingfoot Express makes use of the infamous Wendover Air Force Base between LSR attempts. Its 15 JATO rockets, designed for auxiliary propulsion on aircraft, were fired electrically from Bobby Tatroe's cockpit. (See Jan. '66 HRM, cover and pg. 50: "Those Magnificent Men and Their Speed Machines.")OCTOBER 7: Gary Naeve's roadster pickup was set apart from the pack by its Dodge body and the quartet of four-barrels atop a small-block Chevy. The only place we found it in print was inside a Petersen annual, although this could be an evolution of the flathead-powered Naeve roadster that had just appeared in HRM. (See HOT ROD Pictorial No. 2; also Aug. '65 HRM, pg. 72: "Hot Canary.")OCTOBER 18: Ron Cappel, at the wheel of his red Anglia (powered by a Tom Sturm-built 427 W-motor), and Carol Eacona are checking out brother Gerry Cappel's channeled and full-fendered Deuce, powered by a 312 T-bird. Before the coupe's feature appeared, it was offered for sale in HOT ROD Mart (Mar. '66): "Going in service, must sell $1,800 firm." Older readers will recall how the military draft ramped up in 1965, considered the beginning of the Vietnam era. Millions of young men not carrying at least 12 college units continuously were either drafted into the Army and Marines or enlisted ahead of the inevitable call-up, heavily impacting hot rodding and drag racing for the next decade. (See Jan. '66 HRM, pg. 76: "This Little Anglia Went to Town"; also July '66, pg. 80: "Dapper Deuce.")
OCTOBER 18: Ron Maxwell's fiberglass-bodied Bantam seems downright tiny beside the Sonic 1. Ron and his wife, Beth, rode out from Salt Lake City to view Craig Breedlove's LSR attempts and were rewarded with a full-color feature. (See Mar. '66 HRM, pg. 54: "Rare Streetster.")OCTOBER 18: Even bigger and heavier than it looks from this angle, the 34-foot 7-inch Sonic I rode on a 202-inch wheelbase and carried GE's J-79 engine (from an F-104 fighter). On November 2, Breedlove averaged 555.127 mph in the mile and 555.483 in the kilo, with a terminal speed of 566.394 mph. Six days later, Art Arfons upped the ante to 576.533. On November 14, Craig made two runs of 593.178 and 608.201 for the first-ever average over 600 mph (600.601)—making a California hot rodder the first to reach both 500 and 600 mph. (See Oct. '65 HRM, pg. 47: "Spirit of America Sonic I"; also Jan. '66, cover and pg. 50: "Those Magnificent Men and Their Speed Machines.")OCTOBER 18: Here's the business end of the Wingfoot Express before five more rockets were added on each side. At 400-plus mph, the retro-rocket braking system caught fire, bringing a spectacular end to Walt Arfons' '65 LSR efforts. (See Jan. '66, cover and pg. 50: "Those Magnificent Men and Their Speed Machines.")OCTOBER 20: Dick Rundell proved the street-worthiness of Hilborn injectors and a Vertex mag with a 301-powered '28 touring that graced the covers of HRM, R&C, and a PPC paperback book, Building and Racing the Hot Rod. First, though, Dick had to fill more than 150 bullet holes in the body he found near Laredo, Texas. (See Dec. '66 HRM, cover and pg. 64: "Rub a Dub Tub.")NOVEMBER 8: Mickey Thompson's first 200-MPH Club Invitational at his Fontana strip was restricted to fuelers that had hit the double- century mark using M/T products. Fifty-three owners accepted invitations to two separate, daily programs on November 6-7. Saturday night's feature saw Connie Swingle in the Old Master upset former employer Don Garlits and collect $5,000 cash from Mickey.Also shown (left to right): owner/tuner Ed Pink, Miss California Sandy Becker, and M/T himself. In the second photo, Mike Sorokin eyes Sunday's $2,500 First Prize from the seat of the Surfers' homebuilt fueler. (See Jan. '66 HRM, pg. 82: "Tripping the Lights Fantastic.")OCTOBER 20: Even before a four-cam Ford won Indy, it became painfully obvious that something would have to be done to forestall the extinction of the 50-year-old Offy four- banger. This HRM lead shot revealed one of the first such attempts. Dick Jones of Champion Spark Plugs sleeved and destroked Vince Conze's 220ci Offy to 170 inches, had Bobby Strahlman assemble it, and added a Meihler-Dexter blower similar to a GMC 4-71. The result was nearly 550 hp at 8,000 rpm from 170 ci—more than three horses per cubic inch. (See Jan. '66 HRM, pg. 70: "Don't Bury the Offy.")NOVEMBER 2: Bob Reisner's T is relatively timeless, but the uniforms worn by stewardesses for long-gone Western Airlines ("The Only Way To Fly!") date this shot. Originally built by Don Oaks of the L.A. Roadsters, the roadster weighed just 1,330 pounds, thanks to its all-aluminum, 215ci Buick. Reisner later traded it straight across for the famous Milk Truck show rod to Dan Woods, who drove the T- bucket year-round for five years. "My mom even drove it for me while I was in Vietnam," Dan recalled. (See PPC's Street Rod Pictorial No. 3.)NOVEMBER 8: Rick was a lifelong motorcycle enthusiast, so we're not surprised he was drawn to Sonny Rossi's V8-60– powered Harley in Fontana's pits to shoot a single, unpublished frame. Had he only connected the bike to its talented owner/ builder, we'd have a better look at Sonny (background), a longtime drag and Bonneville racer destined for induction into the Inliners International Hall of Fame 45 years later (class of 2010).
NOVEMBER 11: Here's one of those inexplicably unpublished coulda-shoulda combinations: a Chrysler-powered compact about which we have no clue other than a 12-shot film roll marked, "Rodgers Hemi Falcon Sprint."NOVEMBER 11: Long before desktop publishing and Photoshopping, a subscription ad (one year: $5) depicted Associate Editor Jim McFarland seemingly falling from the sky, headed for the seat of Paul Hannan's '29 roadster. Here's the original photograph, shot behind PPC's Hollywood Boulevard offices. Along with the stepladder, HRM's staff artists later airbrushed out Rick's El Camino and the '60 Starliner custom of R&C Editor Bill Neumann. (See Jan. '66 HRM, pg. 115; also Feb. '66, pg. 113.)NOVEMBER 15: We wish we could explain how a triple-engine boat, its trailer, and possibly the Chevy's pickup bed caught fire while parked, but all we found is this single frame from Holley's 500-mile enduro on the Salton Sea. (See Mar. '66 HRM, pg. 94: "Salton's Flagged Ships.")NOVEMBER 23: This one really got Greg Sharp excited. The Bobby Ball 200 in Phoenix produced what our oval-track expert believes to be one of the few photos illustrating the brief transition period that put dirt champ cars, Indy roadsters, and back-motored racers on the same track at the same time. Nevertheless, HRM passed on the historic photos that came home with Rickman, publishing no event coverage.NOVEMBER 23: Dale Drake, manufacturer of the Offy, refined the supercharged Dick Jones concept seen previously by building a 168ci motor that put out 525-plus horsepower and 380 lb-ft of torque. Past Indy 500 champions Rodger Ward and Parnelli Jones both drove blown Offys in the '66 race, finishing 19th and 15th, respectively (while Fords swept the first four places). (See Mar. '66 HRM cover and pg. 28: "A Gander at the New Drake.")NOVEMBER 29: After HRM staffers somehow secured access to Bob Hope's Western-movie ranch as a background for the new SS396 Chevelle, just one small picture appeared in the road-test story. Here's our favorite from Hopetown (originally called Corriganville), in the Santa Susanna Mountains northwest of Los Angeles. In stock form, the heavy Chevy clocked 15.70 at 92.00 mph. Subsequent installations of common aftermarket bolt-ons and slicks netted a 14.61/100.33. (See Feb. '66 HRM, pg. 30: "Super Street Chevelle"; also Apr. '66, pg. 84: "Tale of a Chevelle.")DECEMBER 2: Inspired by Chrysler's factory fleet, every body shop in the country seemed to be radically relocating the axle locations of whatever was handy. All we can tell you about this guinea pig is that its rear-axle assembly is about to be rolled into place, with assistance from the ever-helpful, ever-necktied Dahlquist (background).DECEMBER 6: The crate is addressed to Johannesburg because Jim Culbert was about to ship his CAE "house car" to South Africa, along with Carl Adams (who set the Wembly Stadium track record in its debut). The company's Chevy- powered Super Modifieds were offered in any stage from bare chassis to race ready. (See July '66 HRM, pg. 56: "Super Safari.")
DECEMBER 7: HRM readers must've wondered what Editor Greene was smoking (hey, it was the '60s!) when he wrote, "The most sophisticated engine of them all, more exotic than an Indy Ford, Honda's exciting new dual overhead cam 450 is a cut above the wildest racing engine in the world . . . bar none!" (See Apr. '66 HRM, pg. 81: "Honda's Technical Masterpiece.")DECEMBER 16: Would you believe mail-order Funny Car kits? Indeed, Bill Thomas of Cheetah fame (note background) offered everything needed to convert Granny's grocery getter into a fearsome match racer. Note the similarities to the bolt-on, tubular-subframe concept that finally gained widespread acceptance in the early 21st century.DECEMBER 16: Dahlquist looks cold, and maybe a bit concerned about descending the Angeles Crest Highway in a nose-heavy, automatic 390 Fairlane without tire chains. Barely visible in the background is Mrs. Rick (in hooded coat, above tail light), who might've been having second thoughts about accompanying HOT ROD's road-test team. (See Mar. '66 HRM, pg. 34: "Ford's Fairlane 500 GT/A Style.")

Ref:Innovative Fin Spring Strap (Pair) For Scubapro Twin Jet Dive Fins Can you please inform me the length of size M and L.Thank you Regards Philip
Will these spring straps work with Turtle Fins?
Hello Jerry, no these would not work for your Turtle fins. The spring straps that do work for your fins are the http://www.scuba.com/scuba-gear-113/012042/Innovative-Grip-Tight-Spring-Fin-Strap-Pair.html. If you would like to place an order or have any other questions please feel free to give us a call at 1.800.347.2822.
My wife wears a size 7.5 shoe, has a pair of small scuba pro twin jets. What size spring strap should she get and is there a difference in sizes between the actuall scuba-pro model as opposed to the innovative for scuba pro.
I owned a pair of Cressi Frog Plus fins M-L size and I was wondering if the following fin spring strap would fit: Innovative Fin Spring Strap (Pair) For Scubapro Twin Jet Fins. If not, What are my options? Thank you
Hello Cesar, you would need the: http://www.scuba.com/scuba-gear-113/012023/XS-Scuba-Universal-Spring-Fin-Straps.html. These are the ones that will fit your fins.
Spring Fin Straps
These stainless steel fin straps come with a limited lifetime warranty and are available in 5 attachment styles. All styles are available with either the rubber 'Comfort Grip' puller (provides heel cushioning and large grip for pulling straps on/off) or with black Tech Diver heel guard. Each style is available in 4 sizes.
ScubaPro Twin Jet: Comes with the mating ScubaPro male side of the buckle (ScubaPro female side is attached to the fin).
Older Twin Jet Fins have different female buckles mounted on the fins which do not mate with the newer male buckles installed on our spring fin straps. Our RB0521 4-piece replacement buckle pack is available to retrofit these fins with up to date female buckles which mate with our buckles.

I'm doing some work in Logic, and right now I'm messing around with some bass. I've gotten to a point where my headphones actually vibrate somewhat, like a tiny massage on the sides of my head.. Is that harmful toward me or the headphones?
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.
In general, you should be very careful how loud you listen to music, both through headphones and through speakers, so you do not damage your hearing. You should be listening at the lowest level that still allows you to hear what you need to. Listening at higher volumes for short periods will allow you to better hear the nuances of the music, but should be kept to an absolute minimum.
If the headphones are vibrating with the bass, they are probably really good at reproducing the lower frequencies. If you are not hearing any distortion, you are probably not damaging the headphones, but it is still possible that the excess vibrations will cause damage over time.
In general, when in doubt, turn it down a bit.

Just posted Zimbra 4.5 RC1. It has several fixes and improvements from the beta feedback of customers, the community and our continued internal testing. A complete list of fixes and enhancements for this release can be found in bugzilla or with this query.
The big news in this release candidate is the first look at our new HTML lite client. Built on top the SOAP apis (like the AJAX client, Outlook, and Apple iSync) and some Zimbra JSP taglibs. This HTML lite client is targeted for users who don't have the network or compute resources for the AJAX client. Think modem/dial-up or those who haven't upgraded their computer in the last 5 years. You can access the HTML client from your upgraded 4.5 server at http://YOUR-SERVER/zimbra/h/.
Additionally we've added a new OS platform with Mandriva support.
There are still some known issues so any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Please report any bugs or requests via bugzilla.

ROCKVILLE, Md. (WUSA) - A 17-year-old student who was arrested for trespassing on school property was also charged as an adult with possessing a weapon on school property after a .22 caliber gun was found in his backpack, according to Montgomery County Police.
The student, Octavio Antonio Estevez of the 700 block of 62nd Avenue, SE, Washington, was seen on the Magruder H.S. grounds on Muncaster Mill Rd. in Rockville at about 7:53 a.m. Thursday, according to police.
When he was approached by the school's School Resorce Officer and told to leave the school property, Estevez refused. He was then arrested for trespassing. During a search of the student's backpack following the arrest, an unloaded .22 caliber H&R handgun was found.
The gun, described as older firearm, is being examined to determine whether it is operable, police said. No ammunition was found with the gun, and no one was injured. Estevez was charged as an adult with possession of a weapon on school property and other weapon-related charges.

Toners and clarifiers are designed to tone, hydrate, condition, detoxify, purify and nourish your skin after cleansing and before moisturizing. They also serve to remove any final traces of cleanser residue, excess oil, dirt and dead skin cells from your skin, which then allows your moisturizer to penetrate and hydrate to its fullest. A variety of formulas are now just a click away in both liquid and pre-moistened pads. Designed for use either before or after shaving, these refreshing, invigorating toners will serve to tighten pores and control shine while soothing irritation caused by shaving. Special formulas are here for those with oily or acne-prone skin, while other, milder, irritant-free toners and clarifiers are great for all skin types.
Whether you have dry, oily or combination skin, be sure to choose a toner or clarifier that's right for your skin type. Many toning formulas contain hydrating and humectant ingredients, as well as antioxidant protection, and can help to diminish redness, irritation and inflammation, leaving you with a smoother, clearer complexion. As they reduce excess oil and debris, toners and clarifiers provide extra anti-inflammatory and anti-aging benefits and can help reduce puffiness, leaving skin feeling ultra clean and refreshed.

Guy Talk With The Fung Brothers : The Asian Dating Scene
Posted By Audrey Magazine On December 27, 2013 @ 8:16 pm In Health & Lifestyle,Pop Culture | Comments Disabled
Story by Paul Nakayama. Photo by Daniel Nguyen Photography.
Recently, an Asian guy friend of mine handed me a Scotch and proceeded to ask me for an introduction to a girl — any girl. I didn't know what to say, so I downed the whiskey and got drunk. It wasn't what he asked, but how he asked it. His level of despair prompted me to consult outside help. So I sat down with David and Andrew Fung, also known as the Fung Brothers, the popular YouTube entertainers with a unique perspective on all things Asian, to get some tips on how to help a single Asian brother out.
Q: You guys grew up in Kent, Wash. What was that like?
David Fung: Growing up, there weren't that many Asians in our area. We always sort of felt like the "Others" in our school. A lot of Asians that grow up around Asians are comfortable, and they don't think about being Asian. But where we were, there were a lot of tough questions that people posed to us. Our high school was really into sports, so we got involved in leadership roles in sports. That was good training to put ourselves out there, but it put us in an environment where we got made fun of. We were trying to be the cool kids, but sometimes we weren't accepted.
Q: So what was dating like in high school?
Andrew Fung: It was pretty hard to date. I mean, just to put it in perspective, we were at a school where some guys wore cowboy hats to school.
Q: But once you got to college …
AF: Yeah, UDub [University of Washington] is like 30 to 40 percent Asian so we made the most of it. We could exercise our talents, and it was easier to be considered cool.
Q: By college, you were already performing comedy. Did that help the dating scene?
AF: A lot of girls liked it, but they also assumed we were players. That's kind of the life of an Asian American entertainer. A lot of us aren't players. We weren't raised like that, but people think that's what entertainers do.
Q: What about dating after college? You're in L.A. now, after all.
AF: Dating after college is much harder. This is a message to guys: If you cannot date in college, you are going to have an even harder time after college. It's like camp. If you can't meet people at camp, then … yeah.
Q: [Laughing, maybe a little too awkwardly] So, what's a good strategy for the Asian 40-year-old virgin? And I don't mean me. Purely hypothetical, guys.
DF: We know guys like that — dudes that don't meet a lot of girls. Bottom line: Get rid of the self-defeating attitude. We all deal with whatever factors leading to less confidence, like our culture, parents, whatever legitimate excuses that only work in a vacuum. At some point you gotta step up and take responsibility.
Q: We've all heard that Asian men have a disadvantage in dating. True, or is it more about the attitude we come in with?
DF: Me and Andrew played varsity basketball at a high school where people on our teams went to the NBA. Can you imagine two short, nerdy Asian kids being raised in a system where everyone's got NBA dreams? But it never made me think that I shouldn't try out for the team or play against these guys. You have to have the same mentality in other aspects of your life.
AF: I feel like as an Asian guy in America, if you stand up knowing what people think about you and say, "Yeah, I am like that and I'm proud," people will respect you more, and you'll probably get more women that way.
DF: Like if they think Asian guys are gross, you say, "Yeah, I am gross. I am a little gross. There!"
AF: And some women will be like, "Hey, that's a strong man." Women like confidence. Turn that negative into a positive. Gotta learn to play the cards you got.
Q: What about guys helping each other out? Being a good wingman and all.
DF: In the Asian scene, the wingman thing isn't as sophisticated as it is with white or black guys.
AF: For sure. I heard this story about some Asian friends at a party, and it turned out they had all talked to the same girl and asked her the same exact questions and all asked her out for the same week. Ridiculous. No strategy or defining of roles. Asian guys are still figuring it out, and it makes sense 'cause none of our dads did any of that. With other races, someone will pass on some knowledge about how to talk to girls.
DF: Yeah, there's no teamwork. In football, there are guys on the team whose only job is to block. With Asians, because we're taught to "achieve, achieve, achieve," everyone thinks he's the quarterback. You can't win with a team of just quarterbacks.
Q: As brothers, you probably have a better system than most. Hand signals, bird calls, a Venn diagram.
DF: It's all about being on the same page. Everyone has to know the game plan. But to be clear, I don't wanna misconstrue what we're talking about here.
AF: Right, it's not about getting laid. It's more about meeting people successfully and making sure everyone can have a good time.
DF: And not have everyone immediately placed in the friend zone. A good wingman will make sure that everyone's got a drink in their hand and is talking. And never interrupt a conversation with anything other than more drinks, not even compliments, because unless you know how to do it without coming off douchey, you'll be blocking the quarterback.

Born: 12/10/1960
Birth Place: United Kingdom
Born on Dec. 10, 1960 in Belfast, Northern Ireland, Branagh was raised in a working class home devoid of any form of artistic expression; surprising for someone later intimately linked to the greatest writer of the English language. Branagh moved to England with his family when he was 10 and began his love affair with Shakespeare, reading 25-cent paperback volumes of his plays as an escape from schoolyard bullies who taunted him for being too much of a joker on the playground. An isolated child who sat enraptured in front of the TV, watching movies with James Cagney, Humphrey Bogart and Spencer Tracy, Branagh later brought his desire to engage in fantasy to the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art,...

And you are right. Other than finding those little "tabs" of metal when changing the oil there were no indications of a problem whatsoever. The ball bearing next to it took the whole load without a whimper. If it weren't for the REcall the bike would have probably still been on the road and all the tabs would have come out with the oil changes by now.
And mine might have to be still on the road. First comments from my dealer are that "there's nothing to worry about". Haven't heard from the importers yet but their choice will be to agree there's a problem and incur the cost of an engine strip...or...suggest there's nothing to worry about. What do you think it'll be?I'll reserve judgement until I hear from the importers but I'll be staggered if they're happy to allow fragments like that circulate the engine and gearbox. I think that's taking Enfield quirks beyond the limit. Kevin, if a customer came to you with this what would you do?
CJ - I gots it in mah head that I NEEDS to be there ..... I think there is gonna be a rebellion if a couple of us DON'T get a little break! hahahaha!! After the last little suare' , you know I'm all about a good camp fire, some gREat friends and a little Scotch! I'm told that the little event is an even BETTER time than the last one .... although I can hardly believe it ....
I can't speak for Kevin, but following this whole REcall thing makes me glad I'm on his side of the pond!CJ No kidding, I got a new main bearing when they did the tranny upgrade. Eveything was fine in my engine, but I feel better with the upgrades.
It truly is a great time for all the reasons you state.A good campfire? You ain't seen nutten yet! They have professional stokers just to keep you warm till the wee hours. Yup, I'm ready. CJ
"Wee hours" he says .... That'll be about eleven o'clock for MY old tired butt .....
That's part of the cage on the drive side roller bearing. Bet ya a buck it's a NBC bearing.CJ
Sorry for interupting but what is a 'NBC' bearing?
Watsonian have confirmed that it is a fragment of main bearing cage but its left over from the old bearings which were replaced during the gearbox recall work. Thats supposed to make me feel better. The crank and gearbox must have come out, difficult to see where this fragment could have remained hidden particularly as they would have been looking for broken main bearing cages (wouldnt they?).

I introduce to you, the avocado-chocolate pudding
or chovocado pudding.
Let's stick with the latter for cuteness.
This dessert may sound weird to some, but don't knock till you try it. There's no hint of avocado flavor, only it's densely creamy consistency. Whipped together with a sweetener like agave and the rich chocolaty flavor from the cocoa powder, this pudding tastes like any chocolate pudding you've ever had...but probably better.
Chovocado Pudding
vegan, gluten-free
1 ripe avocado
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1/4 cup raw agave nectar
1/4 cup almond milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Peel and quarter a ripe avocado.
- Put all the ingredients in your beloved Magic Bullet (or a blender/hand mixer) and blend until smooth.
- Serve and enjoy!

Frank White Speaks to Tiger Club
Royals Hall of Fame second baseman Frank White roared with some Tigers Tuesday as the guest speaker at the weekly meeting of the Kansas City Tiger Club – a locally based University of Missouri-Columbia Booster Club. The Tiger Club, which meets throughout the year, but weekly during the college football season, gathered at Lidia's in the Crossroads district to hear Frank speak and field questions.
When Frank finished, the KC Tigers – who were also probably still slightly pumped up from the big victory over Nebraska this past weekend – gave the Royals eight-time Gold Glove second baseman a standing ovation, which one member described as "probably the first, and definitely the longest" standing ovation in Tiger Club history!

JACKSONVILLE, Florida (WTLV) -- A messy toilet and an unthinkable task has the parents of a Duval County third grader outraged after they say their daughter was asked to clean bodily waste.
"I was livid, I was upset, I was scared," said Millicent Jones, the student's mother. "I was scared for one reason: I didn't know what to do, because I didn't know what my daughter had been exposed to."
Millicent and her husband Anthony said they don't know why the substitute teacher told their 8-year-old to clean the contents of a backed-up toilet last week. Their daughter and another student were allegedly made to pull out feces using some toilet paper and then throw it in a trash can.
The parents called Dinsmore Elementary, Duval County Public Schools and Kelly Services -- the temporary company that placed the substitute -- to try and get some answers.
DCPS told our sister station WTLV First Coast News they can't discipline an employee that is not their own, adding that they rely on Kelly Services to hire the best.
"If your contractor doesn't do the job, then you're responsible so you can't just say it's not your fault," said Anthony Jones.
The third grader has been scheduled for bloodwork, but her parents want to know if Kelly Services will reimburse them for the bill.
In a statement from Kelly Services, PR Coordinator Denise Ridenour states "Kelly Services is always concerned when there are allegations reported of inappropriate direction by one of our employees. We are looking into the situation fully and have no further comment to provide you."

Scientists use innovative, barrier-busting methods to educate the public and decision-makers about cutting-edge science
Randy Davis of the University of Texas discusses his research on Weddell seals at Polar Paloooza.
Credit and Larger Version
March 16, 2009
The amount of respect that a scientist received from other scientists used to be, in many cases, inversely proportional to the amount of respect she received from the public. Indeed, it seemed like the more attention a scientist received from the public, the less she usually received from her peers.
But now, many scientists are rejecting the stigma that has traditionally been associated with popularizing science and are taking science to the streets ... the Internet ... the airwaves ... the halls of Congress ... schools ... and other venues for educating students, the public and decision-makers about their research.
Various factors are currently driving the growing appeal of public outreach among scientists, including:
Scientists may fulfill NSF's "broader impact" requirements by communicating with non-scientists through the media, creating Web sites about their research, contributing to museum exhibits, and writing books for non-scientists, as just a few examples. A list of representative "broader impacts" activities, along with other resources that may help scientists satisfy NSF's "broader impacts" requirements, is posted here.
A recent Science article quoted Peter Agre, President of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) as stating, "[I]t seems to me that every tenured faculty in America owes something, and my idea would be tithing 10% of your time for the public good ... I think being part of the public debate is very important--and that's where we're overdue."
In response to these factors, various scientific organizations are currently promoting public outreach by:
In addition, the Aldo Leopold Leadership Program annually trains 20 academic environmental scientists how to communicate effectively with the public and policy-makers. This training includes working with members of the media to improve their interviewing skills, participating in mock Congressional hearings and interacting with policy makers in Washington, D.C. Click here for more information.
A case in point: ESA's 2008 annual meeting featured a symposium entitled "Linking Scientists with Non-Traditional Public Audiences to Enhance Ecological Thought," which was organized by Nalini Nadkarni of Evergreen State College. Nadkarni says that her symposium--which included presentations on ecological outreach targeting prisoners, artists, preachers, non-literate African animal trackers and others--would probably not have been given a place at a scientific meeting even five years ago.
Nevertheless, Lymn says that because of the popularity of ESA's outreach sessions, "they are here to stay. Even our evening sessions on public outreach are very well-attended."

Jerry Bruckheimer
Birth Name: Jerry Bruckheimer
Born: 09/21/1945
Birth Place: Detroit, Michigan, USA
Born: 09/21/1945
Birth Place: Detroit, Michigan, USA
Bruckheimer was born an only child on Sept. 21, 1945 in Detroit, MI to German immigrant parents-his father was a manager for an exclusive clothing store and his mother was an accountant while maintaining the Bruckheimer home. Due to being slightly dyslexic, he was a slow reader, leading to lackluster student career. But he developed a passion for photography thanks to a fairly wealthy uncle who gave him hand-me-down cameras. From the time he was six, Bruckheimer was taking pictures, seeing the world differently than others. When in high school, he began printing his photos, winning several awards from Kodak and National Scholastics. A solid C-student, Bruckheimer moved on to the Universi... Continue Bio >>

Entrance to the festival was inexpensive and went to a number of great causes. The only caveat to admission was all attendees were required to relinquish any carrot sticks*, low calorie sugars and/or imitation butter substitutes. Inside were a number of vendors selling the best of the best chocolate delicacies. From hand dipped strawberries, bananas, grapes and even cheesecake to the richest of truffles it was truly an experience requiring anyone to have a surplus of insulin.
Even the simplest of cakes came with a complexity of flavors and recipe directions. In one instance I was asked simply, "Would you like to see this cake's recipe?" Despite my past baking follies (overcooked cupcakes, undercooked sheet cakes, 3 inch "caked-on" residue) I felt confident in gazing at the directions.
The piece of paper she produced was ripped, folded and tarnished with flour and probably egg yoke. The print was rushed and certainly gave the impression this product was truly homemade. Additionally, not one word of the recipe was in English, au contraire, it was all in French. That's not to say I didn't try to read it. Unfortunately the few words I could have recognized; Eiffel Tower, Mona Lisa, and Croissant were not used in making this cake and rendered the recipe useless to this French fry eating, non-French speaking American. Needless to say, the cake was auctioned off for 30 dollars and I'm sure it was "délicieux".
The festival encompasses three days of chocolate as well as chocolate themed events. Friday and Saturday night elegant dinners were prepared and once again, ticket sales went to deserving charities. For the children, pudding-eating contests were held through the day Saturday and winners went home with a Chocolate Festival t-shirt. Personally, I hold a spot in my heart for any parent having to supervise a child who just consumed a couple pounds of chocolate pudding. Accordingly, the amount of pudding left on just one contestant's face afterward could have filled a couple pie tins by itself (see pictures).
For a three day festival, there were easily enough activities to stuff an entire weekend. I still have a couple events that need to be included in next year's weekend recipe; "Chocolate Around the World" and "Chocolate Spa", but just a visit to the convention center alone left me with a sugar rush that should last me through the week…now then, where's that French to English dictionary?
*fruits/vegetable would only be accepted provided they were only used for chocolate immersion

This week's program is a dedicated to a full hour of the Royal Southern Brotherhood, recorded live at French Quarter Fest 2012.
Jivin' Gene, the DJ not the singer... I've heard him announce himself in such humble fashion many times, in his smooth, down home New Orleans accent. What followed after was always some of the best Rhythm and Blues of the 1950's that have ever been played on these airwaves, or that of any other frequency.
Props to Jivin' Gene, whose tenure at WWOZ began in the station's early days above Tipitina's. He'll be doing his last "50s R&B with Jivin' Gene and Neil Pellegrin" show on Tuesday, July 9, from 7-10pm.
Congratulations to Gerald French, winner of the 2013 JazzAscona Award, presented at this year's JazzAscona Festival. The festival has been held annually in the lakeside town of Ascona, Switzerland for the last 29 years. Previous recipients of the award include Lillian Boutte (2006), Father Jerome LeDoux (2007), Donald Harrison, Jr.
There's shows you go to in NYC when an artist from Nola comes to town, brings their funky soulful music with them, gets the crowd moving to their syncopated groove and brings that Crescent City flavor to the New York party. You see the New Yorkers do a mock second line like their in New Orleans, and it's fun. It's a New York party with a New Orleans soundtrack, always great. But then… every once in a while, when the stars align at just the right place, right time and with the right people… A New Orleanian in exile can close their eyes, open their ears and almost feel like they're back home. King James and the Special Men did that for me last night, and Lord, it felt good!
Red Hook, Brooklyn, a working class neighborhood far off the beaten path, where generations of families have lived for years that's currently rebuilding itself after being nailed by a hurricane, subsequently proved the perfect place for King James and the Special Men to serve up their New Orleans flavor. The Red Hook Bait & Tackle Bar, a former fisherman's mercantile, adorned with taxidermied animal heads, red brick and xmas lights proved the perfect setting for this gig. Coming off a special performance outside Lincoln Center and a great July 4th show at the good ol' Bait & Tackle, King James and the boys closed out their NYC run here in proper fashion.
Go along with Glen David Andrews and his band on a guided tour of the Armstrong House Museum, in Queens, NY, where Satchmo and his wife Lucille lived from 1943 until the end of their lives.
Yes, we see the irony of recommending a British fireworks video on the Fourth of July. And yet.... If you love fireworks and didn't get to see any this Fourth, watch this video. It was beautifully shot with multiple cameras by the BBC and is totally worth a look. The bigger the screen, the better.
Cool down from the unforgiving summer heat with some love songs and sweets on this week's episode.

OK, glad i asked. i did google the amal and decided it has allot more adjusting than i want right now. besides, i have a nice assortment of jets, and a slide for the mik carb. i think i read they were interchangeable with mikuni. and i have been doing all this reading up on the mikuni/mikcarb. now i am still a newbie and have to admit i don't know exactly what a flat side is. the only one i see on nfield gear that says flat side is that no name Taiwanese,"kehin type". they say is good, and i don't doubt that is is but i want the mikuni. the kit i see just says "mikuni carb kit" comes in 30,32,34mm any one for $285. so what is the difference in a flat side and these? thanks for all the help.
as long as I'm getting all this help can anyone tell me will the jets i bought for the stock mikcarb fit any mikuni? or at least the vm32. like i said before i read somewhere they were interchangeable. i also have a new slide for the stock one, I'm guessing that would only fit a vm28.

This figure, based on Meehl et al. (2004), shows the ability with which a global climate model (the DOE PCM [1]) is able to reconstruct the historical temperature record and the degree to which the associated temperature changes can be decomposed into various forcing factors. The top part of the figure compares a five year average of global temperature measurements (Jones and Moberg 2001) to the Meehl et al. results incorporating the effects of five predetermined forcing factors: greenhouse gases, man-made sulfate emissions, solar variability, ozone changes (both stratospheric and tropospheric), and volcanic emissions (including natural sulfates). The time history and radiative forcing effectiveness for each of these factors was specified in advance and was not adjusted to specifically match the temperature record.
Also shown are grey bands indicating the 68% and 95% range for natural variability in the five year average of temperature as determined from multiple simulations with different initial conditions. In other words, the bands indicate the estimated size of fluctuations that are expected to result from changes in weather rather than changes in climate. Ideally the model should be able to reconstruct temperature variations to within about the tolerance specified by these bands. Though the model captures the gross features of twentieth century climate change, it remains likely that some of the differences between model and observation reflect the limitations of the model and/or our understanding of the histories of the observed forcing factors.
In the lower portion of the figure are the results of additional simulations in which the model was operated with only one forcing factor at a time. A key conclusion of the Meehl et al. (2004) work is that the model response to all factors combined is approximately equal to the sum of the responses to each of the factors taken individually. They conclude therefore that it is reasonable to discuss how the evolving man-made and natural influences individually impact climate. Meehl et al. attribute most of the 0.52 °C global warming between 1900 and 1994 to a 0.69 °C temperature forcing from greenhouse gases partially offset by a 0.27 °C cooling due to man-made sulfate emissions and with other factors contributing the balance. This contrasts with the warming from 1900 to 1940 for which the model only attributes a net increases of 0.06 °C to the combined effects of greenhouse gases and sulfate emissions. The zeros on both plots are set equal to 1900 temperatures.

Note that "Net" reflects the model runs with all factors included and is not identical to simply summing the individual factors.

I would like to thank the Commission for the invitation to testify here today on the matter of Human Rights and Police Reform in Northern Ireland.
On this, the eve of St. Patrick's Day, I wish to express my gratitude to you for your continuing commitment to the process of peace in Ireland and, in particular, your awareness of the centrality of policing to the health of our society.
I have submitted to you a written statement which gives you an account of the major activities of my organisation in the field of policing since 1993 and I would request that, that submission be included in the record of today's proceedings as well as the following comments about our work.
In 1993, Mediation Northern Ireland were asked by the R.U.C. to design and introduce a programme aimed at enhancing the sensitivity of police recruits towards the task of policing a divided society.
By 1996 we had established a Community Awareness Programme in Foundation Training but withdrew because we found ourselves at odds with the R.U.C. over our work as mediators in the emerging parades conflict.
However, we continued to be exercised by the idea of entering a dialogue with senior ranks of the R.U.C. in anticipation of police reform and so, in 1997, we began the Policing Our Divided Society project, involving intensive dialogue with senior police officers. Our discussions centred on the philosophy of Community Oriented Policing which the R.U.C. were beginning to embrace but which needed critical scrutiny when set against the realities of our divided society.
Over the next three years our private dialogues with the R.U.C. was supported by the State Department's Office of Citizen Exchanges, who financed three field trips with a group of senior officers to engage with American specialists who, in turn, helped us with the follow-up workshops in Belfast.
With the publication of the Patten report in 1999, the process of police reform took a massive leap forward. We advised members of the Patten commission during the course of their deliberations, especially on the matter of police culture and in 2001 we established a new programme which concentrated on internal change within the new Police Service of Northern Ireland and, outside of the police, the promotion of the concept of policing as a civic endeavour shared between police officer and citizen.
We have been developing a programme on Policing and Reconciliation for student officers and also facilitate a forum to promote reflection and critical dialogue among police officers about how their practice serves or hinders reconciliation in the community.
Over the past three years we have also benefited on two occasions form State Department funding to bring civic leaders, including politicians and most of the Policing Board, to the United States to spend time in the company of U.S. police executives, theorists and community activists. Each U.S. trip has been followed up by a visit by American colleagues to Belfast.
We are now developing a new three year project, due to begin this Autumn, aimed at sustaining an agenda on Policing and Reconciliation within the PSNI.
We are also assisting the Policing Board with a project for members of the District Policing Partnerships.
In addition, since the establishment of the Office of the Police Ombudsman we have been providing support to staff development across that agency.
In our activities on the ground we have interfaced with police commanders and personnel on contentious matters such as interface violence and the policing of parades.
In the context of the above work, let me make the following observations.
The nature of policing will always reflect the character of the society it serves.
Before the outbreak of the Troubles in 1969, Northern Ireland was a segregated society characterised by unionist hegemony and nationalist ambivalence and the R.U.C. had a unionist or Protestant cultural dominance. The nationalist or Catholic community had no sense of ownership of it and as an arm of a state which was prone to cyclical outbreaks of republican violence, the R.U.C. maintained a quasi-military tradition.
The Good Friday Agreement of 1998 ushered in a new era, with new civic norms of pluralism accommodating the nationalist and unionist traditions; partnership between them and the ideal of a non partisan character to public institutions.
The Patten Commission in 1999 reflected the spirit of the Good Friday Agreement, introducing new civic norms within policing.
Since then change has begun on a number of levels which are worth naming here:
Structural Change has involved the reconstitution and restructuring of the Police Service, the establishment of the Policing Board and the District Policing Partnerships. It is on the structural issues and the question of their sufficiency that most political dispute now rages.
However, from the point of view of Mediation Northern Ireland, change on a number of other levels is of more pressing concern.
An example is what I would call 'Conceptual Change'.
Let me point out that in many respects the PSNI's evolving professionalism is impressive and compares well with any police service I have encountered in the United States, however in my view, the PSNI have mentally signed up to the philosophy of Community Policing but have a long way yet to go to truly embrace it or, indeed, understand it.
In this regard, perhaps the biggest impediment is the prevalence of a police mindset bent on a form of professionalism which is paternalistic towards the community.
An example of how this mentality might be sustained will be found in new proposals for an alternative to the use of plastic baton rounds which are due out this year. The question on this matter will be the degree of importance attaching to new technology compared to the greater emphasis which should be given to the development of better relationships with the community which are the best alternative to plastic baton rounds and are the true litmus test of the police – community relationship.
Another level of change is cultural. Here again, much work remains to be done. Policing in Northern Ireland has been defined for so long by security and counter-terrorism that the security mindset often seems to blinker police officers and inhibit their capacity to read the community.
And within the Police, there is still a need to develop the kind of organisational diversity which enables the unionist community to renew their confidence in the Police Service while also broadening its essential character to make it expressive of the nationalist tradition as well. Thus far, the PSNI have acted conservatively by promoting a so-called organisational neutrality. Though in fairness I would add that they are not alone in this public service culture in Northern Ireland.
Another level of change which merits discussion here is communal.
Since the creation of the PSNI, almost all of the attention has focused on reform of the Police Service. However, while the entitlements of citizens are crucial to public confidence in the Police, the philosophy of Policing with the Community also confers responsibilities on the citizen.
When the Patten Commission cut the Police Service in half, it envisaged an era when citizens and communities would enter new partnerships with police officers in the detection of crime, the resolution of problems and the maintenance of order.
However, it seems to me that across our society, citizens are used to a kind of delegation of responsibility to professionals in the discharge of public service. Yet, this kind of delegation will not make for effective policing in this day and age. As a policing philosophy, Community Policing requires a new kind of activism from the ordinary citizen because the knowledge and traditions of local communities must be brought to bear on the policing task if localised solutions are to be found in partnerships with police.
Moreover, this kind of civic vision presents a number of genuine challenges to those citizens and communities in our society, who have an enduring mistrust of police.
I should finally like to comment on the effect of the political impasse on the character of policing in Northern Ireland.
In framing its reforms, the Patten Commission envisaged only one scenario for the immediate future of Northern Ireland: one in which the Good Friday Agreement would be implemented and a new political consensus would take hold in our society.
The collapse of the Executive and Assembly and the changed political landscape as a consequence of the recent Assembly elections suggest to me that there is no prospect of a renewed political settlement for a number of years.
History has shown that terrorism thrives in a political vacuum and sporadic attacks on members of the District Policing Partnerships suggest that the new civic infrastructure of policing is viewed as a pressure point by those who remain wedded to the use of violence to achieve their ends.
On a positive note, there is a long term likelihood that further sustained political engagement will produce a more definitive settlement than that reached in 1998.
However, the deepening political limbo into which Northern Ireland is now settling, creates the danger of disillusionment and a loss of direction across our society. Already there are signs that discipline within sections of loyalism is fraying at the edges and there are plenty of situations which will test the confidence of citizens in a peace that has not yet fulfilled its promise.
In this context, unforeseen by Patten and his colleagues, the civic integrity of new institutions will be tested. The Police Service of Northern Ireland, the Policing Board and members of the District Policing Partnership and the Office of the Police Ombudsman are examples of new institutions which will feel the strain.

Hi Guys, I know Windows 8 wouldn't officially be supported but I am just wondering if anyone has managed to get this to work yet?
Installed the latest Windows 8 Release Preview, Outlook 2010 and the latest Zimbra Outlook connector (tried build of both 184.108.40.20668 & 22.214.171.1240). The Outlook profile fails to create during the install and has to be manually done and then when you launch Outlook it throws this error:
"Cannot open you default e-mail folders. An unexpected error has occurred.
MAPI was unable to load the information service LSMSSP.DLL. Be sure the service is correctly installed and configured."
So while I realise that Windows 8 wouldn't be supported yet I was hoping someone may have a "dirty hack" or some idea how to make this work. Wouldn't mind having my Outlook working properly on my Windows 8 test PC I am building. :-)
P.S. Had the same issues with Windows 8 Consumer Preview as well.
