|Second period summary: Bruins vs. Maple Leafs
|04.03.10 at 8:45 pm ET
Giving David Krejci some new wingmen has paid off, for a period at least.
Boston got back into the game with its first goal in 88:01 of game play. Captain Zdeno Chara started a break out when he hit the open Krejci in the neutral zone going down the left wing. Krejci broke through the zone and got to the top of the face off circle before torquing his body and throwing a backhand wrist shot on Gustavsson that rebounded through the crease to Miroslav Satan perfectly positioned on the other side for the bang back score.
An opportunity came for Boston via the power play when Christian Hansen took an interference call at 10:45. The Bruins had good puck control on the man-advantage (which has not always been the case this season) though the Leafs penalty kill blocked a series of shots including two by Rickard Wallin on consecutive Chara shots from the point to kill off the penalty.
Dennis Seidenberg did not return after cutting his arm in the first period and are now quite shorthanded on defense combined with the loss of Mark Stuart to cellulitis. Regardless, Boston played much better in the second period and outshot the Leafs nine to eight and trail the game in the category 22 to 14.
|Bruins trash Thrashers, look towards spring hockey
|03.23.10 at 9:28 pm ET
Summary — In what was essentially a playoff game the Bruins trounced the Thrashers 4-0 at Phillips Arena in Atlanta. The Thrashers started the night one point behind the Bruins and could have jumped them for the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference with a regulation time win but Tuukka Rask came up big to blank Atlanta with 27 saves. Johan Hedberg could not do his team the same favor as he allowed four goals on 33 shots in the loss.
The Bruins struck first. Michael Ryder took a wrist shot from right in front of Hedberg that the goaltender could not corral and the bouncing puck made its way through the crease to where David Krejci could sneak in from the back side to tap it on through into the net at 9:25 in the first period.
Boston would add to the lead in the second when Milan Lucic tallied his eighth of the season. Lucic took a pass from David Krejci off the wing in the middle slot and let out a wrist shot that beat Hedberg glove side high to give the Bruins a 2-0 lead.
With time expiring in the second period the Thrashers were caught with one skate heading towards the locker room when Patrice Bergeron won a face off after an Atlanta icing and sent the puck back to Zdeno Chara who hit a one-time slap shot on goal that was tipped by Miroslav Satan to give the Bruins a three goal lead that they would not relinquish.
Steve Begin got in on the scoring party in the third period when Milan Lucic took a long shot from the blue line off a face off that Hedberg could not control leading to a wide open net on his stick side that Begin was able to blast the puck into for the Bruins fourth unanswered score. It was Begin's first goal in 28 games and fourth of the season.
Three Stars —
David Krejci — Scored the opening goal of the game for this 15th of the season and set up Lucic for the second, separating goal with a pass off the end boards that ended up on Lucic's stick.
Tuukka Rask — The Bruins emerging goaltender won his 18th of the year in a game where he was never seriously challenged to put the Thrashers away.
Milan Lucic — The hulking forward has been taking big strides in recent games as he returns to pre-injury form. He scored the second goal of the game and assisted on the fourth.
Turning Point — Satan's goal at the very end of the second period was a psyche breaker for a Thrashers team that had billed this game as the "biggest in franchise history." It was the type of goal that coaches cannot stand as it was a quick face off turn slap shot turn goal with mere seconds left in the period.
Key Play — Lucic was expected to make big strides in his third year with the Bruins but has been hampered by injuries and inconsistency throughout the year as he has dealt with a bum ankle. His second period goal gave the Bruins separation from the Thrashers and proved that Lucic is finally rounding back into form as he has played two very solid games in a row for Boston.
|Second period summary: Bruins-Thrashers
|at 8:36 pm ET
Boston is taking its own fate into its hands.
Maxim Afinogenov went to the penalty box at 1:29 in the second period for holding the stick of Dennis Seidenberg to give the Bruins the first power play of the game for either team. Though, like it has been since Marc Savard went down on March 7, Boston could not spur any offense on the man-advantage, mustering one shot in the process. After the Thrashers's kill Boston was 1 for 20 on the power play since Savard was injured.
Despite the inefficiencies on the power play, Boston's 5-on-5 play, a facet of the team's game that has not exactly been a strength this year, came through for the Bruins at 7:29. David Krejci fed Milan Lucic with time and space in the mid-slot that allowed Lucic to unload a wrist shot that beat Hedberg over his glove side to make it 2-0.
The Thrashers had a chance late in the period when Colby Armstrong snuck into the Bruins zone and took a pass with a head of steam to march right in on Tuukka Rask for the point blank opportunity. Dennis Wideman, burnt by Armstrong coming down the wing, had to reach in for a hooking penalty to stop Armstrong's opportunity. Though, instead of awarding the power play the referees decided to give Atlanta a penalty shot, the second in as many games (Daniel Paille had one against the Rangers on Sunday). Rask turned Armstrong's shot away with his glove as the shot was headed wide anyway.
Boston struck again right at the end of the period. Patrice Bergeron won a face off and sent the puck back to Zdeno Chara on the point through traffic that may or may not have touched Miroslav Satan's stick on its way passed Hebberg for the 3-0 lead with one skate already heading to the locker room.
Shots through second (total):
Bruins: 12 (22)
Thrashers: 10 (17)
|Bruins gain separation in playoff race by besting Rangers
|03.21.10 at 2:08 pm ET
Summary — In a battle that will go a long way in determining the bottom of the Eastern Conference's playoff standings, the Bruins prevailed over the Rangers (2-0) in front of a sold out crowd at TD Garden on Sunday afternoon. Tuukka Rask got his 17th win for Boston by making 22 saves while Henrik Lundqvist was the loser for New York with 29 stops. The win puts Boston five points ahead of the Rangers for the eighth and final playoff spot in the conference with 11 games (10 for the Rangers) to go in the regular season.
The teams played a contentious, though scoreless, majority of the first two periods. The first forty minutes of the game saw a combined 14 penalties for 36 minutes (eight for 21 for Boston, six for 15 by New York) as the teams that are jostling for the final spot in the Eastern Conference took their bumping and pushing to the ice. Bruins captain Zdeno Chara had eight penalty minutes, including a four-minute double minor for high-sticking in the second period.
Olli Jokinen, who took three penalties himself in the first two periods, nearly handed the Bruins a goal (or saved the Rangers, depending on your perspective) when he spun/tackled Boston forward Daniel Paille on a break at 16:13 in the second. Paille was awarded a penalty shot and skated straight down on Lundqvist only to see his wrist shot from the slot turned away harmlessly by the goaltenders left pad.
Miroslav Satan broke 104:09 of scoreless ice time for the Bruins at 16:36 of the second period when he one-timed a through the crease from Andrew Ference. The defenseman skated down the left wing and centered the puck quickly enough to get it on Satan's stick before Lundqvist could make the cross and Satan put it top shelf from one knee for the 1-0 lead.
Dennis Wideman made it a two-goal lead in the third period when he took a feed from Vladimir Sobotka and spun a nifty backhand wrist shot from the slot up over Lundqvist's glove side at 10:20.
The Rangers cut the lead in half at 16:56 when defenseman Michael Del Zotta powered a slap shot from the point past Rask through traffic. The Bruins would hold on in the final three minutes for the win.
Three Stars
Miroslav Satan — The tall Slovak gave the Bruins the lead in the second period with his fifth goal as a Bruin.
Tuukka Rask — The most important penalty killer on the ice is often the goaltender and Rask was good behind his stout defense in holding the Rangers 0-6 on the man-advantage.
Dennis Wideman — The prettiest play of the day was Wideman's backhand winner from the slot. It was kind of a spinning backhand wrist shot that he elevated off a pass from Vladimir Sobotka. The puck went high over Lundqvist's glove for the two-goal advantage midway through the third period. It was Wideman's fourth goal of the season with his last coming against the Rangers on Jan. 9, a span of 25 games.
Turning Point — With the game still scoreless in the second period the Rangers were given a great opportunity to take the lead when the Bruins captain, Zdeno Chara, took a double minor, high-sticking penalty at 8:30. With Boston's top defender off the ice for an extended period of time it would have been the best time for New York to strike. The Bruins, who have the No. 1 penalty kill in the league, did not allow the Rangers to have a shot in the stretch and would not have a better power play opportunity for the rest of the game.
Key Play — Rask came up big in the early part of the third with a little help from Paille. Brandon Dubinsky looked like he had time and space to make an arcing cross in front of the Bruins netminder before Paille got in between the Rangers' center and the puck to thwart a shot attempt. Dubinsky recovered and got the puck to Dan Girardi at the face off circle for a one-time chance point blank on Rask. The Boston goaltender left the crease to aggressively challenge the shot and caught it on the spoked-B of his sweater to retire the chance.
|Second period summary: Bruins-Rangers
|at 1:17 pm ET
If there is one thing that the Bruins are good at, it is the penalty kill.
Boston's captain, Zdeno Chara, is not doing his team any favors on Sunday afternoon. He has gone to the box three times through the first two periods with the most recent violation at four-minute high-sticking violation at 8:30 in the period.
The No. 1 penalty kill in the NHL took care of business though, and then some. The Rangers, who are almost as ineffective in the goal scoring department as the Bruins (23rd in league at 2.58), could not manage to register and official shot on Tuukka Rask.
The Bruins were given a chance at 16:13 when Artem Anisimov spun/tackled Daniel Paille on a breakaway at 16:13. Paille was awarded a rare regular-time penalty shot and skated in on Henrik Lundqvist before taking s wrist shot from the slot that the Rangers' goalie turned away with is left pad.
Boston was able to get on the board less than a minute later when Andrew Ference skated down the right wing and cross the puck across the crease to the waiting one-timing stick of Miroslav Satan camped on the other side of Lundqvist. Satan went high from one knee and the Bruins had their first goal (and lead) in 104:09 of ice time (last goal at the 12:27 mark in the third period Tuesday against Carolina).
In the final minute of the period Satan took an interference penalty when he hit former Boston University star Chris Drury coming out of the defensive zone at 19:33. Olli Jokinen gave the majority of the power play back with a roughing penalty after Steve Begin knock Vinny Prospal on his backside with seconds remaining in the period. Jokinen went to the box for roughing with 00.1 left on the clock and the teams will start the third on a 4-on-4.
End of second period: Boston 1 New York 0
Shots through second (total):
Bruins — 7 (19)

|Bruins top Leafs in shootout
|03.04.10 at 9:58 pm ET
Summary — Familiar foes faced off at on Thursday evening as the Maple Leafs gave the Bruins all they could handle before falling in a shootout 3-2 in front of a sold out crowd at TD Garden. Miroslav Satan scored the game-winning goal in the shootout. Tim Thomas got the start for Boston for the first time since Groundhogs Day (Feb. 2) and grabbed a win with 24 saves. Jean-Sebastian Giguere was the loss for Toronto with 29 saves. The Bruins announced earlier on Thursday that goaltender Tuukka Rask would sit with a lower body injury and is listed as day-to-day.
In his first game back since taking a puck to his temple against Vancouver on Feb. 6 Johnny Boychuk scored to brake a 1-1 tie at 15:24 in the second period with a blast from right wing that beat Giguere over his shoulder far-side. The goal was Boychuk's third of the season and his career and the Bruins entered the third period with a goal advantage.
Once again Boston could not hold a third period lead as Tyler Bozak crashed the net in front of Thomas and rammed home a centering pass by Nikolai Kulemin at 3:58 in the third period.
The Bruins lit the lamp first as Satan scored his second goal in three games (though almost three weeks apart because of the Olympic break)when Shawn Thornton found him streaking down the center for an unchallenged break. Satan pulled up and hit a slap shot from the top of the left circle that beat Giguere through the five hole at 9:36 in the first period.
Then the teams got nasty. Milan Lucic dropped the gloves with notorious fighter Colton Orr and fought him to a standstill with both players taking significant blows. In the ensuing face off, Shawn Thornton went at it with Wayne Primeau as exactly one second ticked away on the game clock. Thornton handled Primeau. It was third time this season that Lucic and Thorton fought in the same game.
Boston could not hold Toronto off the board as Viktor Stalberg beat Thomas short side to tie the game at one at 15:27 in the first period in a 4-on-4 situation as Marco Sturm and Dion Phaneuf were in the penalty box.
Three Stars
Tim Thomas – The Bruins goaltender was solid in holding the Leafs down including multiple breakaway chances and stoned them in the shootout for the victory.
Miroslav Satan — Satan scored the first and last goal of the game to propel the Bruins to the win.
Tyler Bozak — The young Leafs forward picked up the fourth goal of his career that tied the game at two in the third period.
Turning Point — Shortly after the Leafs killed off a penalty in the third period Kulemin found the puck on the baseline after a scramble and centered it front of Thomas, who could not handle it cleanly in the crease. Bozak crashed the net and jarred the puck loose to tie the game and eventually send it to the shootout.
Key Play — With the third round of the shootout tied at zero, Satan skated in on Giguere, did a stick flip fake and went backhand to put the puck in the net. Thomas stuffed Bozak in the final shot to seal the victory.
|Update: Bruins in the Olympics
|02.18.10 at 3:47 pm ET
Six Bruins are playing in the Olympics in Vancouver. The first round of preliminary games has been played, let's take a look how the boys from the black and gold have faired.
Patrice Bergeron — The Bruins center had 12:50 of ice time in Canada's 8-0 win against Norway on Tuesday. Bergeron had an assist on Mike Richard's goal that made it 3-0 in the second period. Bergeron had a plus/minus of 1 and two penalty minutes with an interference call in the second period.
Marco Sturm — The German captain had 15:14 of ice time and two shots on goal in Sweden's 2-0 win on Wednesday.
Zdeno Chara — The Slovakian captain had four penalty minutes and a shot on goal in 26:28 of ice time in Wednesday's 3-1 loss to the Czech Republic.

You know, I am constantly told how much "smarter" the Obamas are to us "common folk", but even I knew there were certain things you didn't do in the presence of the Queen of England. Of course you didn't hear, especially seeing how the Press is fawning over the "awesomeness" of having their "Messiah" meeting someone of actual importance, so let's start this at the beginning.
I do my best to keep up to date with these stories, seeing how this administration seems to abuse its power on a regular basis, but I save my blog entries for the more interesting stories, ones which really strike me. To Canadians, the Queen is an important figurehead, or at least a controversial subject at the dinner table. I personally believe that maintaining the Queen's position in our political structure is an important gesture of friendship to the British people, and to abolish the monarchy's place in Canadian society would cause serious damage to Canada's relationship with the United Kingdom. This isn't something that most Americans even think about, however. Americans are more concerned with how they are perceived by the British people when their leaders go to meet the Prime Minister and the Royal Family. With that said, the Press has been doing their best to keep British feelings out of the headlines, to hide what is being said behind the backs of the American people by their cousins "across the pond."
As I mentioned previously, Downing Street was less than impressed when Gordon Brown's copy of Psycho, one of the DVDs Barack Obama gave him, didn't work because of regional differences. They were originally "confident" that any gift from the US President would be "well thought through", but I guess the British are really starting to look at Americans like the "ignorant children" they use to believed they were. Can you blame them? If the White House can't even get the DVDs working for them, how are they to fix the financial trouble the world is now facing? Well Obama went a step further when he had to choose a gift for Queen Elizabeth II… The ever "hip" iPod. I was absolutely dumbstruck… I mean, what? This is the best he can do?
The gift itself reeks of Obama's personal obsession with his own "hipness", something we learned when it was "leaked" that he had gotten his daughters a Wii for Christmas (which he also plays with, practicing his bowling skills on Wii Sports… Oh, how "hip"). He might as well have gotten her one of those, seeing as the Queen already has an iPod, a silver 6GB iPod mini which she bought in 2005 (the paparazzi knew that, why didn't the Obama Administration?). That isn't all though, this gift gets worse. Aside from the fact that it is loaded with music from Broadway productions (which isn't that bad), it also has pictures and video of her most recent American visit (as if she didn't already have them), as well as recordings of Obama's "famous" speeches. I do agree with Michelle Malkin on this one, it does sound like an April Fool's Day joke, but the problem is, it isn't. This gift says that Barack isn't simply obsessed with being "hip", he is also a megalomaniac (megalomania being a psychopathological condition characterized by delusional fantasies of wealth, power, or omnipotence… Fits doesn't it?).
As if this visit couldn't get worse, we hear this morning that Michelle Obama touched the Queen, breaking royal protocol for what I could describe as a poorly thought out "Kodak moment". Much like Barack's joke about the Special Olympics on the Tonight Show, this wouldn't have been an issue if Michelle wasn't the First Lady, but she is. She is supposed to be proper, she is supposed know how to greet people like Queen Elizabeth, but this wasn't just a show of her ignorance to protocol, it was a display of how impolite this woman can be. It isn't just that, as Mark Finkelstein of NewsBusters.org made mention of during the presidential campaign Michelle is an angry woman. When she is in the public's eye, she is supposed to be composed, she is supposed to behave according to her position as First Lady, but like her husband, it seems Mrs. Obama doesn't believe the rules apply to her. Why should these two follow any set of rules though, especially when it seems the Press won't call them on their mistakes? Last night I turned on CNN to see if they had bothered to critically analyze the Obamas conduct during the royal visit, but instead found these so-called reporters fawning over how great they thought Michelle was. She isn't Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, not by a long shot, she doesn't even measure up to Laura Bush, a woman who commanded respect even when he husband didn't, so why the fuss over a classless, unfeminine and angry First Lady? It is disgusting to see how these reporters continue to fawn over her even now.
With this media love affair now in full-bloom, any sense of reporter objectivity is long gone. How can it be that this was ignored by the American Press? The Telegraph had a report about the British opinion on what they saw as Obama's rudeness towards Gordon Brown. Iain Martin said that Obama "looked like he simply couldn't be bothered" with the British Prime Minister, denying him even the most basic courtesies like a full press conference with flags (as per protocol with visiting leaders) or even lunch (stay classy Barack). Partisan hacks like Betty Baye of the Courier-Journal would rather attack those like Michelle Malkin, who she called an "acidic Asian-American" (racist much?), than write a column worth reading. The "question everything/question authority" drive these reporters and columnists once had (and "proudly" displayed the last eight years) has been replaced by this perverse sense of "duty" to the new administration. They have a duty to their audience, not to some "political master". Its called journalist integrity if I remember correctly (been so long since I have seen it from these hacks), something these people are seriously lacking.
As a "colonial subject" of Queen Elizabeth II, I find it offensive to see British royalty being treated with such disregard. She's my Queen, Canada's Queen, the Queen of the former British Empire, she deserves more than an iPod and a hug from an angry woman. There is a proper way to address the Queen, and I am sure he and his wife were briefed on it before meeting with her, but it seems President Obama would rather maintain protocol with those who don't like us, rather than those who have assisted the United States in its War on Terror. I can only imagine how the British are feeling, watching these two classless heads of state manhandle their leaders. We can wait and see what the Telegraph and other British publications will be saying when this is all over, but I bet they won't have any kind words to say about Barack and Michelle Obama once the two of them are back on American soil. As with the previous meeting, the "Great Uniter" has managed to sour relations with one of our closest allies.
If you don't like them, be honest Barack. It is far less offensive than these awkward meetings… You've become the neighbour nobody wants at their party, so simply tell them you just don't want to attend next time they ask you too…
UPDATE: Ed Morrissey at Hot Air is looking over Obama's bow when meeting King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia. The question is why would Barack maintain protocol with a leader who's country isn't very friendly to the United States when he wouldn't with one of America's allies? I know he is trying to reach out to the Middle East, but it doesn't work.
Why not simply surrender Iraq and Afghanistan? I am wondering when this appeasement will end… Pathetic…

Ridgewood BOE opposes details of No Child Left Behind
The Ridgewood Board of Education (BOE) has unanimously passed a resolution opposing details of the No Child Left Behind Act requiring a 100 percent proficiency rate, which Superintendent Daniel Fishbein called "impossible to achieve."
"It's really a goal no one could meet," Fishbein said at a BOE meeting last week.
The legislation requires full student proficiency in state math and reading tests by 2014, and also holds schools accountable for making "adequate yearly progress," meaning districts must improve their testing averages every year until then.
Fishbein said that special education students would face particular challenges passing the test, and that, in general, 100 percent passage rates were unfeasible.
BOE member Sheila Brogan, chair of the legislative committee, said the resolution was an important one.
"It's been on my list of goals since the legislation went into effect," she said.
BOE President Michele Lenhard added that it was "important to support something like this."
The resolution notes that "current accountability requirements will result in more than three quarters of America's public schools being labeled as failing in the coming school year," and that "such a drastic misrepresentation of the accomplishments of America's public schools does more harm than good and undermines the hard work of millions of educators and students across the nation every day."
Brogan said there was hope that Secretary of Education Arne Duncan would accept waivers from states, which could soften the blow of the requirements, since reauthorization and revisions to the legislation have been stymied in Congress. Still, the BOE resolution urges not just waivers, but "full regulatory relief" for the 2011-2012 school year.
"Schools deserve straight regulatory relief, and not the additional requirements or conditions that often come with waivers," it reads.

Anjum's New Indian by Anjum Anand includes recipes like Cilantro and Mint Chutney; Black Maharashtran-style Chicken; and Gujarati Undhiyo.
Serves 6
This is a traditional Gujarati dish and one I promise myself to make more regularly every time I eat it. It is full of flavor and a comforting autumnal dish, In the old days in Gujarat, it was made in a huge pot with the vegetables slashed at regular intervals, with the masala stuffed inside these tight crevasses to flavor them from the inside, and layered in accordance to their cooking time. It was cooked really slowly so that the veggies were cooked to succulent perfection. I almost left the traditional recipe unchanged for us non-Gujarati cooks, but I couldn't help myself. It is such a wonderful dish that I wanted to simplify it as much as possible to entice everyone to try it. It is fantastic just as it is, as part of an Indian meal or as an accompaniment to a roast dish. Fresh or frozen coconut is best, but you can use about 10 tablespoons of unsweetened dried coconut flakes instead. Lastly, for the full monty, add the fenugreek dumplings from the Lamb and Dumpling Stew on page 136 of the book with the rest of the vegetables.
For the masala, using a blender, make a paste of the ginger, garlic, green chiles and lemon juice with a splash of water. Add most of the fresh cilantro (reserving a little for garnish) and pulse to shred finely but not completely pureed. Stir in the remaining ingredients for the masala. Taste and make sure it is slightly over-seasoned as the vegetables will absorb some of it.
Heat the oil in a large non-stick saucepan. Add the asafoetida and fry for 20 seconds. Follow with the mustard seeds and, once they start to pop, add all the masala. Give the pan a good stir, Add all the vegetables except the beans or peas and stir into the spice paste for a few minutes. Add about 3/4 cup water and bring to the boil. Cover and cook over a low heat, shaking the pan occasionally. Once the vegetables are just soft, around 20-25 minutes, add the beans or peas, cover and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Serve garnished with the remaining cilantro and coconut.

Should I get Winter wheels/tires?
Hello everyone,
Been a while since I have been on the forum. I have a 2012 limited with the 20" wheels. I still have to factory tires and the jeep has 17k miles on it. I have been debating on getting winter wheel and tire set up. I just recently moved to and area where we get a pretty good amount of snow in the winter. I have not really been impressed with the stockers on snow/ice in the past but never got enough snow to really worry about it before. My question is, is there much difference between getting an aggressive all season tire and an actual "winter" tire? I hear winter tires make a big difference(yet to find out on my FWD sedan I just bought them for since I haven't had snow to try them in yet). I was just out in the jeep on untreated roads and it was all over the place. I will be getting a wheel and tire combo so I can swap them out easily but should I look more at just winter tires or a nice aggressive all season mud type tire?
Thanks for the input.
get winter tires... it's an upfront investment that pays off with time... no reason to get a second set and not get winter specific tires!
Re: Should I get Winter wheels/tires?
Winter tires will make a big difference below freezing as all-season tires really start to lose grip. Quite a few people refer to winter tires as "snows," but it should be noted that the biggest advantage of a winter tire is the freezing point of the rubber. I don't have the specs off the top of my head, but the rubber compound on a winter tire will FAR exceed an all-season in freezing temps (and below).
With that being said, I've always run winter tires on my RWD sport sedans but I'll leave the all-seasons on my JGC even though I live where we can get lake effect snow. In a perfect world I'd have winter tires on, but I'll give it a shot with the all-seasons for the time being.
Re: Should I get Winter wheels/tires?
I would also suggest winter tires (if you are getting a second set) I had a second set on my 05 Magnum r/t years ago. I went from terrified in the snow to being first to go somewhere if it snowed. If they had that kind of an impact on a RWD beast like that I cant even imagine how awesome they would be on a WK2.
Re: Should I get Winter wheels/tires?
Look at it this way: The only thing the road knows about your vehicle is what the tread on the tires is. The road doesn't care if your vehicle is a 4X4 Jeep or a RWD Ford Mustang. When you stop or turn, the tires are everything. A 4X4 may help you accelerate with two extra wheels driving--and winter tires on any vehicle help considerably with acceleration as well, but it doesn't have any affect on turning or stopping grip which are the key elements of winter driving.
Yes, all terrain and all season SUV tires are usually better than all season passenger car tires in the winter, but still not nearly as good as winter tires.
Plus, with a separate winter wheel/tire set, you save your other tires/wheels from the salt and muck of winter, extend the life of your regular tires, and give your Jeep a different look for half the year.
Re: Should I get Winter wheels/tires?
I have run winter tires on my various vehicles since 1987. They have made a big difference in me being able to get home safely. Started with winter tires on my 78 Rabbit, then my track day 90 325i, 2006 Element and last year with my 2012 GC.
All Seasons/No Seasons, A/Ts and M/Ts dont have the tread compounds to perform in temps below 40 degrees in the wet and on snow and ice.
Now if the roads are ice covered I just stay in since there arent tires that perform well on ice.
Winter tires also perform better in the wet in temps below 40 degrees than No seasons and A/Ts.
Go with an 18" wheel and 265/60/18. Look at Bridgestone, Nokian, Michelin and Vredstein.
Re: Should I get Winter wheels/tires?
Ok u talked me into it. I'm looking at getting a 17" just to keep cost down(just bought winters for my Camry). Any issues with this? My jeep is a v6 so no big brakes.
Re: Should I get Winter wheels/tires?
Tire rack will say 17" wheels dont fit. Difference in price between 18" and 17" packages isnt that much with Blizzaks.
Re: Should I get Winter wheels/tires?
Re: Should I get Winter wheels/tires?
I am running Nokian WR G2's on my Subaru Legacy. They are "all weather" vs. standard "all season". The basic meaning is that they have the snowflake/mountain symbol for severe use. They are a 12 month tire with a winter rubber compound. I got them after using separate winter tires for years on our cars because I have used my garage storage space up and am getting too old to be lugging tires around. We have not had snow yet this year, but last year (first winter) they were unstoppable. I saw a WK2 with the SUV version of this tire on it this summer, but the owner was not around.
Re: Should I get Winter wheels/tires?
Re: Should I get Winter wheels/tires?
Valid point. Our weather here is not much different than in PA. It's tough to predict. I mean, Texas and Oklahoma got hammered with snow yesterday and we have seen none up here so far. I did not get these tires assuming that I would get anywhere near the mileage from them than I would from the M/S 2's on my Jeep.

I'll never forget driving in the Caribbean on one of the first business trips of my career. It was insane. Every driver was out for him or herself, ignoring stop signs and painted lane separators. Drivers slowed down (but did not necessarily stop) for red lights.
I'm still amazed that I came out alive and with no wrecks. Not even a ding.
But you know what? I learned a lot about driving both offensively AND defensively, and it prepared me for living in San Francisco–a city which sits near the bottom of the list when it comes to safe driving.
Insurance giant Allstate has analyzed claim data from 2007 and 2008 to determine in which U.S. cities drivers are most likely to have a collision. According to its "America's Best Drivers Report," Fort Collins, Colo. is the safest city for driving in the U.S. The least safe–the one where you are most likely to get into a fender bender: Washington, DC.
Not surprisingly, the report shows that driving is safest in medium-sized cities and more dangerous in major cities. As a matter of fact, among the 193 cities cited in the report, Phoenix, the largest and safest driving city, ranked #74. The report also reveals that drivers are much more likely to have a wreck in cities east of the Mississippi than west of it.

CERTAIN words like self-fulfilment and self-actualisation have gained popularity in this age, but words like abnegation and self-sacrifice seem to have disappeared from peoples lexicon, Archbishop of Port-of-Spain Joseph Harris says.
The disappearance of these words from our lexicon is a sign that the memory of Jesus no longer stirs our blood. Unless leaders pattern themselves on Jesus Christ, what we find in them is arrogance and self-serving attitudes which cannot bring about peace and harmony which we all desire, Fr Harris explained.

Am reading Halbrook's That Every Man Be Armed, right now. Excellent and exhaustive coverage of exactly this question.
This is a discussion on 2nd Amendment: Founder's Intent within the The Second Amendment & Gun Legislation Discussion forums, part of the Related Topics category; Our Second Amendment: The Founders Intent The Independent Institute ^ | December 6, 2007 | Stephen P. Halbrook Soon the U.S. Supreme Court will consider ...
Our Second Amendment: The Founders Intent
The Independent Institute ^ | December 6, 2007 | Stephen P. Halbrook
Soon the U.S. Supreme Court will consider whether the District of Columbias bans on possession of handguns, even in the home, and on having long guns functional for self defense violate the Constitution. As the Court sees it in D.C. v. Heller, the issue is whether those bans violate the Second Amendment rights of individuals who are not affiliated with any state-regulated militia, but who wish to keep handguns and other firearms for private use in their homes. The federal appeals court for D.C. held that it did.
After ignoring the Amendment since its ambiguous U.S. v. Miller decision in 1939, the Court will decide whether the phrase the right of the people in the Second Amendment refers to the same people as in the First and Fourth Amendments, or only to government-selected militiamen. It will also consider whether a right in the Bill of Rights refers to a real liberty or is only rhetoric. Is the right to keep and bear arms on a par with the rights peaceably to assemble or against unreasonable search and seizure? Or is it void where prohibited by law?
For Americas Founders, the answer was obvious. In 1768, when Redcoats landed to occupy the town, the Boston Gazette warned of British plans more grievous than anything before: the Inhabitants of this Province are to be disarmed; martial law would be declared; and patriots would be seized and sent to Great-Britain. Through the periods of the Boston Massacre and the Tea Party the screws were tightened, until finally British attempts to seize colonists arms at Lexington and Concord in 1775 led to the shot heard round the world.
Just after the American victory, General Gage, commander of the Kings troops, ordered the inhabitants of Boston to surrender their firearms, supposedly for temporary safekeeping. It is recorded that Gage confiscated 1,778 fire-arms [long guns], 634 pistols, 973 bayonets, and 38 blunderbusses. The Continental Congress cited this act of perfidy in its Declaration of Causes of Taking Up Arms.
After Independence was won, delegates from the states in 1787 framed our Constitution. Antifederalists protested that it included no declaration of rights and would allow deprivation of rights like free speech and keeping arms. James Madison responded in The Federalist that a declaration was unnecessary, in part because of the advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation, in contrast with the European monarchies, where the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms.
A great compromise was reached: the Constitution would be ratified and then a bill of rights would be debated. When the first Congress met in 1789, Madison proposed what became the Bill of Rights. Federalist writer Tench Coxe explained the Second Amendment thus: As civil rulers, not having their duty to the people duly before them, may attempt to tyrannize, and as the military forces which must be occasionally raised to defend our country, might pervert their power to the injury of their fellow-citizens, the people are confirmed...in their right to keep and bear their private arms.
The Amendment reads: A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed. For almost two centuries, the understanding was that law-abiding individuals had a right to possess rifles, pistols, and shotguns. This would promote a militia of all able-bodied citizens, which, unlike a standing army, was seen as securing a free country.
The agenda to pass firearms prohibitions led to the invention of the collective rights view by the 1960s. Under this view, the Amendment protects only the power of states to have militias. A variation asserts that it guarantees a right to bear arms in the militia, nothing more. These attempts to deconstruct ignore that the people means you and me, not the states, and that no right exists to do anything in a military forcea militiaman does what is commanded.
In 1976, the District of Columbia banned pistols. It also required registered rifles and shotguns to be rendered non-functional when kept at home (but not at a business). D.C. residents were thereby rendered into second-class citizensthey had no Second Amendment rights and were not trusted to defend themselves in their own homes. The crime rate only continued to rise in what became the Murder Capital of the U.S.
The validity of the D.C. ban is now before the Supreme Court. Besides arguing that no one has any rights under the Second Amendment, D.C. alternatively contends that it can ban handguns as long as it does not ban all rifles and shotguns. One can imagine what the Bostonians who surrendered all of their firearms to the Crown in 1775 would have thought of such an argument. Hopefully the Justices will be mindful of the Founders intent and will recognize that the Second Amendment is every bit a part of the Bill of Rights as is the First.

Your best weapon is your brain. Don't leave home without it.
Thoughts: Justifiable self defense (A.O.J.).
Explain: How does disarming victims reduce the number of victims?
Reason over Force: Why the Gun is Civilization (Marko Kloos).
In my opinion the problem now is that there are lawyers doing the arguing, and it's historians that have the proper interpretation. That is what causes the problems!
EOD - Initial success or total failure
I guess there is only one opinion that matters on this one...I can't wait to see how the Court's opinion goes.
Training means learning the rules. Experience means learning the exceptions.
The intent was to have an armed people, to guard against crimes against the people, whether by overt or covert criminals, foreign or domestic, elected or not, at the request of those temporary elected governors or not. The statement of the 2A is reasonably clear. The base intent of the other Amendments support the traditional reading of the 2A, as well.
In the end, the people were intended to forever be armed and able to defend themselves against crime, tyranny, kings and those who would be king.
The only way, IMO, that the Supremes can fail in their duty is to claim that the 2A is inferior to every other Amendment in the Constitution with respect to the intended limits placed on temporary elected governors of the people, and that the 2A says something other than what it actually says. Nobody can claim that and be truthful. The Supremes cannot agree with that unless they're allowing political tyranny and expediency to rule the day.
Your best weapon is your brain. Don't leave home without it.
Thoughts: Justifiable self defense (A.O.J.).
Explain: How does disarming victims reduce the number of victims?
Reason over Force: Why the Gun is Civilization (Marko Kloos).
I hope so, I really do hope so.
I'm not so sure that the American people are in such a state as to be willing to resist the de-armament of themselves by a governmental body to the extent that would nullify any beurocratic (or otherwise) attempt at controlling a then oppressed populace.

Good morning! I'm over the moon to share our latest makeover with you today. Several weeks ago, I was among a group of bloggers invited to revamp an IKEA Rast Dresser, with help from Hickory Hardware, Menards, and Pittsburgh Paints. I'd seen many versions of the IKEA Rast hack over the past few years, and I couldn't wait to get my hands on one to try it out!
Isn't it stunning? It's inspired by a repurposed vintage trunk, which is right up my alley!
Our group of bloggers was each sent the dresser and gift cards to Menards to buy all of our supplies. Here's what I used:
- 16ft. each of pine lattice, screen moulding, and outside corner trim
- 24in. length of 1×4
- canvas drop cloth
- 1in. roofing nails
- spray adhesive
- oil-rubbed bronze spray paint
- copper metallic glaze
- copper pipe straps
- a leather belt
Creating my version of the inspiration piece meant deviating quite a bit from the assembly instructions from the start. To begin with, I traced each of the dresser's external pieces (top, sides, and drawer fronts) onto the canvas dropcloth, and decoupaged the canvas to the wood pieces with spray adhesive before assembling and painting them.
For this round of hacks, we were challenged to use Pittsburgh Paints' new Door, Trim & Furniture Paint for our makeovers - I chose the color Deepest Black. It took a bit of adjustment using an alkyd/oil-based gel paint, as I typically use water-based products. Like other oil-based paints, it should be used in a well-ventilated space and requires a longer drying time. But I loved the rich, deep finish it gave, even when painted on canvas.
Next, I cut and painted all of the lattice, screen moulding, and outer corner trim to size to mimic the metal strapping on the inspiration piece. The chunky bail pulls I chose from Hickory Hardware really set off the modern rustic look.
Lastly, I added a few finishing details - leather handles made from a thrift store belt and secured with pipe straps that I painted and distressed, a key hole escutcheon courtesy of Hickory Hardware, and roofing nails to complete the trim.

Two 17-year-olds stole the show at the Eastern Regional surf lifesaving championships in Whangamata during the weekend, as big surf caused chaos in the craft arena.
Mount Maunganui teenager Katie Wilson showed her recent win at the Central Region titles was no fluke, holding off 18-year-old rival Natalie Peat to win the open ironwoman crown, adding to a solid victory in the open board race.
The other 17-year-old success story was New Plymouth Old Boys flyer Scott Murfitt, who grabbed the open and under-19 beach sprint double, heading off evergreen 36-year-old Morgan Foster in the open race. Blustery onshore winds kicked up a solid 1.5m swell on the final day, with sweep oars snapping like matchsticks in the surf boat arena. Organisers abandoned all divisions except for the open men's, where Titahi Bay's rookies outlasted their rivals in a gruelling long-course final, heading home Orewa and Mairangi Bay.
Reigning national champions Piha were among the crews to capsize, though their frustration was softened with their selection as the New Zealand crew to race the top Australian crew in Waihi next month. Mairangi Bay were picked as the women's representatives.
Ocean Beach Kiwi pair Scott Bicknell and Hamish Beattie led from the front in a brutal open men's double ski, while young Fitzroy pair Rebecca Cole and Sarah Wilson took out the open women's double ski.
Mount Maunganui won the open men's taplin and the open women's beach relay, helping them clear out in the overall club points tally. They finished with 124, well clear of Papamoa (88) with Red Beach five points further back in third.
The gnarly conditions suited Gisborne 21-year-old Ollie Puddick in the open ironman, as he picked up his third win in as many races in the Sonic Surf Race series. Puddick waited as Papamoa's Ben Johnston led in the board and ski legs before pouncing in the swim.
"A couple of years ago, the order would've worried me, when my board was by far my weakest leg," Puddick said.
"Cory Hutchings used to say work on your weakest leg and I've managed to turn it into one of my stronger ones.
"It was just a case of racing smart and not getting ahead of myself, not losing my board or making any mistakes and I'm pretty stoked to do what I came here to do."
Paekakariki's Jake Allen picked up an impressive second, with Mount Maunganui's George Haynes finishing third.
Haynes' clubmate Wilson, meanwhile, had to fight off strong charges from her teenaged rivals Peat (Papamoa) and Danielle McKenzie (Mairangi Bay), with McKenzie opening up an early lead on the board and Peat striking back in her specialist swim leg.
"Natalie caught me up at the second can and we both caught a wave into knee-deep water. I looked over and thought 'nah, I'm not going to let her out-sprint me this time' and I managed to get there," Wilson said.
It gave Wilson a one-point lead in the Sonic ironwoman series, with the grand final to be held during the national under-14 championships in Mount Maunganui next month.
Murfitt is the son of former Taranaki rugby wing Dwight, with the paternal genes showing through as he stopped Foster winning the beach flags/sprint double. Even more impressive was the fact the teenager only got back from a trip to Australia on Friday and this was his first race back after six weeks out with a hamstring injury.
"I couldn't believe it when I saw Morgan out of the corner of my eye but I just kept driving my arms and kept going," Murfitt said.
His clubmate Olivia Eaton, still eligible for the under-16 division, also proved the step up was no problem by winning the open women's beach sprint from Briar Wilkie (Midway) and reigning national champion Arna Wright (Mount Maunganui).

Sometimes I disconnect from the board and go away for a week or three to renew my search for sanity.
thankyou techinspector1,for someone like me who is still learning the 2000's of cars(i know i'am old) something like this thread makes me not want to work on cars anymore.this site has been so helpful to me,thanks to guys like you.some people don't get it.
Add me to the list of BBC guys who "blew it" when it came to cam break in.
My cam and lifters were Clevite brand.
I had read up on the ZDDP issue, Rotella T 15W40 diesel engine oil, single springs, 2500 RPM for 30 minutes or more ... yada yada.
I made a few FATAL errors, though.
I had asked a licensed mechanic (ex-coworker) friend to come help / supervise. I thought that having him there would be "good insurance".
I was in fact, paying him rent in his personal garage on his acreage, and he was welding in all of my patch panels, too. My own garage was under construction during this time, and I was in the midst of changing jobs ... crazy times!
1.) The engine had sat on a stand for a few months after assembly, so I'm sure that the majority of the assembly lube was laying in the bottom of the pan by then.
2.) My friend tried to prelube the engine using a 3/8" cordless drill. The moment that the guage showed oil pressure, it stalled out his drill. "No problem, the oil pump is primed and it will have oil pressure the moment it fires up."
3.) This one is my fault completely. I had cleaned my HEI distributor in varsol, and it was giving an intermittent spark. Result? Far too much cranking!
4.) I put a reman distributor in it a few days later, static timed it, etc ... and it fired up immediately. I'm the guy with the video camera ... recording this momentous event. It's open headers and a symphony of pistons time. Woohoo!
He was running it at around 1200 RPM and I kept gesturing upward with my thumb. He shakes his head, lets OFF the throttle and heads for his timing light. I'm sweating bullets ... not wanting to insult him.
So he's messing with the timing and the engine stalls. I take the opportunity to tell him about the 2500 RPM thing. He'd never heard of it, and assured me that he'd never had a cam failure.
Fast forward several months. My garage is FINALLY completed about 6 months later than expected. We loaded my truck on a trailer and brought it home. I did run it, very briefly, a couple of times ... still with open headers, and thought I might be hearing a bit of a miss. I decided that I had better put a temporary exhaust system on it (2-1/4 pipes, turbo mufflers, and turn-downs)
Started it up and heard the "woodpecker" sounds ... and my heart sank. Trying to be optimistic, I bought one valve lifter and a set of intake gaskets.
No such luck. One lifter and one lobe were ground off pretty badly.
My machinist said to not even bother dropping the pan ... just spray it all out with varsol, including the oil galleys, then replace the cam and lifters.
I just couldn't let those filings sit in the bottom of the pan, though, so I dropped it and cleaned it thoroughly. I pulled the rear main cap, and found it all clean there. I shone a light down through the cam bearings and lifter bores, and found nothing unusual there, either ... so I ordered up (coincidentally) an 11-250-3 Comp Cams XE284H, paired up with another set of Clevite lifters.
I lubed the heck out of everything!
I spun that oil pump up to 70 PSI, using a 3/8" air drill ... which seemed just barely adequate for this job. I ran it until I had oil dripping off of every rocker arm and pooling in the lifter valley.
This engine still hasn't made it to the pavement yet ... but knock on wood ... everything sounds healthy and strong so far.
No more woodpeckers.
Cam failures
I don't believe the oil issue hype. There are a lot of small engines, (lawn mowers) etc that don't have these break in cam failures. Granted they have valve springs with very low spring pressures but you would think small engine failure rate would be large just due to the large amount of sales volume. Yes some of the newer Dino oils are junk, but what I think is really the cause is poor quality cam blanks with high pressure valve springs and low quality lifters. A warranty is worthless if the company won't stand behind the product and makes excuses. What are they doing to address the problem?, Nothing, sales are good and it's sales that matter, so customer be damned.
It's really not so much that the motor oils sold nowadays are "junk" ... its more about the EPA mandating changes to the formulations that make the current motor oils less suited to older engine technology.
The ZDDP is there to reduce the sliding friction between a flat tappet and the cam lobe.
1.) ZDDP plugs up catalytic converters.
2.) Roller camshafts don't need it.
Therefore ... it's been deemed unnecessary, just as lead was
in gasoline back in the early 70's. How many engines died prematurely due to detonation?
The cam mfr's are all pushing us toward retrofit roller cams and charging big bucks for them.
Yes, I understand that the roller lifters are more expensive to produce ... but to the tune of what ... $500 ... $600 ... +? more?
To sum it up:
We can't fight "progress", and we're at the mercy of what the market will bear in regards to pricing in order to maintain our hobby. (And it *is* just a hobby in the minds of the bureaucrats.)
How long to you think it will be before they pull the plug on ZDDP?
It's already a real challenge to find ANY "off the shelf" motor oil that contains it.
Even the diesel trucks have cats on them now, so Shell has eliminated the ZDDP content from their "Rotella T 15w40" (once considered the old standby) now too.
This BP disaster in the Gulf is just the kind of thing that any kind of petrochemical activist will jump all over. The changes we have seen in the last few decades are going to seem insignificant in comparison to what will happen in the next.
Ok, here we go again..."so Shell has eliminated the ZDDP content from their "Rotella T 15w40" 66GMC, all good info up to this statement.
NO!! they haven't, they DECREASED the content from 1400 ppm to just under 1200 ppm. You guy's need to do some research, google ...Shell Rotella T zinc content. It's all there in notices directly from Shell , Blue Print Engines, several other forums with their members asking the same thing and Comp Cams who still recommends Rotella T with their break-in additive for flat tappet cams.
You can use some "race oils" that have 1800-1900 ppm but they don't have the necessary detergents that street engines need to keep the soot that forms in suspension.
"Look we got lots of those cams out there working just fine, and besides any builder worth his salt is putting roller cams in today anyway"
Is it just me or did he not even have to break into a new sentence for the contradiction to take place?So you'll forgive me if Red's words from comp dont take much of a bite
I just got on the Comp site and looked up this cam 574/578 lift 240/246 @ .050 , 110 lobe centers, although it is a bit agressive, it seems good choice for B.B. I went to speed shop I do business with and talked to the engine builder there,specialices on chevy 49 yrs. plus experience.First words out of his mouth"Its the oil' he didnt even hesitate,he recommends valvoline racing oil+ zinc additive and same thing we all know start n hold @ 1500 for 15 min.
I built an s.b. 3 years ago and broke the cam in on my run up stand,let the motor sit for 3 years dropped in my P/U n cranked it, no problem,yet, but you guys scare me, I used Joe Gibbs racing oil for break in, I personally also think its the oil,I worked for race engine builder for a long time , we had to run flat tappet cam,absolute timing on every lobe and timed straight up, hardly ever a problem,used the best synthetic oi you could get back then(All Proof) no additives.
Now im scared its a witch to pull this motor out of this p/u.
By the way I time all my cams straight up, takes a while but its worth it
The cam manufacturers (at least used to) say to not use synthetic during cam break in, I seem to remember.
If you are the worrying type, it may be worth your trouble to use some lower pressure break in springs, just be darned sure they have the available travel to accommodate the cam lift you have. Just using an old set of stock springs can and will wipe out a cam faster than you can say "oh, *******!", due to coil bind if they are too short for the cam lift.
Another option is to use lower ratio rockers for break in, but I would use either lower pressure springs or the outer spring of a dual spring package for breaking in your cam. Along w/all the chemical help you already know about.
That said, there is NO advantage to over-applying the molybdenum break in lube. If it's the thick gooey, black stuff, too much will only plug the filter prematurely. If you have a blocked off oil filter mount bypass, this can unnecessarily lower the oil pressure to dangerous levels if left unattended.
I believe it is far better to VARY the RPM during break in rather than running the engine at only one speed. Varying the RPM allows the splash lubrication of the cam to get to all the lobes, not just where the oil hits at one RPM. This used to be a very common recommendation, but I do not hear it mentioned much anymore.
The biggest thing is to be SURE the lifters rotate as soon as the engine fires and that the engine fires immediately. The lifters should be able to be rotated even when spinning the engine over by hand by giving the pushrod a twist as the engine turns- if they don't by rotate by themselves.
EDIT- This is from another thread that I posted in:
A couple thoughts:
The added zddp needs to be fully integrated into the rest of the oil that is in the engine, not just poured in before start-up. I would suggest mixing it into a gallon jug of the break in oil before being poured into the engine for priming.
The lube that's wiped onto the lobes and foot of the cam has to be "stiff" enough to stay put. I prefer the black moly cam lube that stains the hands, but w/o the "grittiness" of some of the black moly lubes- that actually feel gritty between the fingers. The 'grit' does not help and will only clog the filter after being slung off the cam.
Only use the moly lube on the lobes, lifter feet, cam/distributor gears and fuel pump push rod (if used). Do not use it on the lifter body- the lifter must not be hindered from spinning as soon as the engine turns over. The lifters should all be witnessed before start up to be rotating in their bores when the engine is turned over by hand. If they're not, you may find the lifter bore(s) are varnished up and might just need to be vigorously swabbed out w/a brass bristle wetter w/lacquer thinner or acetone. Lifter bores seldom ever need to be honed to any degree- if you decide they DO need honed, go lightly!
The engine has to be correctly assembled, fueled, timed, plumbed and wired to start up IMMEDIATELY. If there's a problem (fuel, oil or water leak, running hot, whatever), shut it down but do not idle it. It will do much more harm to idle it before it's time than shutting it off and dealing w/the problem.
The cam- to survive- has to have splash oiling provided by the crankshaft windage. This means that the speed has to be varied, but not less than 2000 RPM for any extended length of time. If the engine speed isn't varied, some lobes might be getting all the oil in the world, while others will be starved by comparison.
To this day, I believe some lifters are supplied w/overly aggressive finishes. If they're not chucked up and finished w/a solvent wetted piece of 600 grit, they WILL smooth themselves- at the expense of the camshaft lobe itself.
The geometry needs to be correct from the start, not corrected later on after it's noticed. This includes proper clearances between everything in the valve train.

There are so many oils out there with the ZDDP content what it was before the reduction of it for federal mandates (Brad Penn, Amsoil, Valvoline, Comp even has an oil out now) that there is no reason to blame the cam, camshaft mfg, or the material. Just plain goof-ups during break in. It's just that simple and there is no black magic.
I believe that there is an article floating around here that has an oil company engineer explaining how 1400 ppm ZDDP was overkill and a cam really only needs a fraction of that during break in.
For you guys with engines running and followed the proper break-in procedures....RELAX! C'mon now.
Ya like the guy with the vet that had 10,000 miles on and it packed it in on a sunday drive with his wife. Or the guy with the camaro with 12,000 who had it pack in leaving a car show. Once their broke in right no worries
Might be the oil. Might be the lifters. Johnson used to be considered a premium lifter, at least by me. A national engine parts wholesaler told me recently that Johnson is now so bad, their company will no longer sell them. The issues are numerous, and include insufficient hardness and improper internal dimensions resulting in noisy operation.
And just because an oil has a particular amount of ZDDP in it does not mean it is suitable for engine break-in or long term operation. The amount of ZDDP required for protection varies with the other additives present in the oil, particularly the detergents used, which are totally different for diesel engines than for gasoline engines. Use a API SG or SH rated oil at a minimum.
HERE is a fairly interesting read from from the February, 2009 issue of Hot Rod mag, by Marlan Davis, on why there was (is?) a lifter 'shortage' (at least of GOOD lifters), along w/some info on cam break in techniques.
i think a couple of the guys posting in this thread are missing the point a little
this is a "big block" chevy problem and they have always had this flatten the cam at break-in issue
the question is are these newer more aggressive grinds making the problem worse or even unbeatable
i was not aware of lifter bore grooving until my machine shop told me about it
at about the same time i became aware of the problems with the comp cams extreme series (after purchase)
and have started doing the homework on if this problem is beatable and decided it was going to be ok
and then i hear more stories and worry again
Sooper, don't know what your problem is and I don't really care. 99% of cam problems are improper break-in. Guys will swear they did everything right but when pressed they'll remember something and so "oh s$%t". Sorry, but facts is facts and them is the facts.

Louise Larson The Herald-Zeitung One of the most viewed "known victims" of child pornography testified Monday in the sentencing phase of James Paul Barron, 55. The New Braunfels man was sentenced to 35 years in prison for six counts of possession of child pornography. Judge Gary Steel didn't take any time at all to sentence Barron after dramatic testimony in Monday afternoon's hearing. Barron already pleaded guilty to six third-degree felony counts of possession of child pornography. The case was inititiated early in 2008 by the FBI, after a repair company found images of child pom on Barron's desktop computer. In April 2009, the FBI, swamped with cases, contacted the Comal County Sheriff's Office and asked Det. Sgt. Tommy Ward not to let the case slip through the cracks of justice.

The 10-year blueprint makes "tough choices and sacrifices," Obama said in his official budget message. Yet the plan, which sets the stage for this week's nasty congressional fight over cuts in the budget year that's already more than one-third over, steers dear of deeply controversial long-term problem areas such as Social Security and Medicare. The budget relies heavily on the recovering economy, tax increases and rosy economic assumptions to estimate that the federal deficit would drop from this year's record $1.6 trillion—an astronomical figure that requires the government to borrow 43 cents out of every dol lar it spends — to about $600 billion after five years.

"We want to hear from the community as to its priority in getting the drainage taken care of," Boyer said. "The community has said, 'This is our big issue.' So let's let our community have a vote. That's my personal position." The mayor suggested that the question be put to voters during a bond election in May or November. During a drainage workshop on Monday, city council was told that just 10 of the 19 drainage projects it had earlier asked for cost/benefit studies on would cost an estimated $45 million and raise the tax rate by almost a dime per $100 of valuation. The current city tax rate is $.409862 per $100 of valuation. "The price as you can see is very large," said City Public Works Director Steve Ramsey. Cost estimates on the remainder of the 19 projects are expected in the next couple of weeks, said City Engineer Jim Klein. City Manager Mike Morrison said once the cost/benefit studies of the other projects are completed, city staff will develop a project priority list to be considered by council. He told council he doesn't believe a tax hike alone will be sufficient to pay for the drainage improvements, which were demanded by citizens in public meetings after the June 9 See DRAINAGE, Page 3 WANT TO KNOW MORE?

City council approves initial reading of GLO 1,984-acre land annexation By Greg Bowen The Herald-Zeitung City Council on Monday approved the first reading of an ordinance annexing a 1,984-acre tract of state-owned land along 1-35 northeast of New Braunfels. The unimproved acreage is to be sold by the state's General Land Office for future development. The GLO has requested annexation, under which the city would provide fire, police, garbage-collec-tion, street maintenance and other services. It will take two readings of the ordinance to annex the property. No development plans for the land have been filed with the city, but City Manager Mike Morrison said a San Antonio developer, Rick Sheldon, is consulting with the GLO on developing the property. "Sheldon's acting as a development consultant for the state. I really couldn't say whether they plan to develop it themselves or they have this relationship with Rick Sheldon to assist them through the process of... selling the land to end users." Morrison told council he'll be sitting down with GLO representatives in the days ahead for more discussions. "Before we finalize annexation, we want to have a better handle on what they're proposing and the impact it's going to have on the city," Morrison said. "There should be more definition of what they're proposing to do before we come back to the council." He said discussions could range from "the nature of the development, seeing how far we can get in terms of having a master plan for the development, any agreements with regard to the infrastructure that may be required for the development. There's a whole range of infrastructure issues that we're going to have with a 2,000-acre development." One of those issues is water. The GLO land is now in the Crystal Clear Water Supply Corporation's service area, but Crystal Clear might not have a large enough water supply to serve the development. That would leave the city- See COUNCIL, Page 3 ;
