London :: Kevin Mark Trail Shoot in Camden Town
Anytime I'm traveling to a new place I am always on the look out to shoot some portraits. I put a call out on Twitter last week for musicians in London who might be looking for some new shots and fellow photographer, Romain Kedochim, came through with a great connection to artist Kevin Mark Trail. Kevin is currently working on his second release. You've heard him if you're into The Streets. He's performed and recorded with them on tracks such as Let's Push Things Forward. Also, a big thank you goes to Sylvester Nicholson for helping out on the shoot and finding this awesome location to work with.
And for the sake of consistency… Here is the opening shot in B&W.
And now for something completely different… I'm working on another "stranger portraits" project while I'm here. Here is one from today.
Cheers, Zack
Great set Zack!
Love the B&W's and the final portrait..
Can you tell us more about the "stranger portraits" project you mentioned?
When will you be back in London?
@Sachin – It's just a series of street portraits I am working on while I'm here. Portraits of strangers… Stranger Portraits.
I did something similar in NYC last year.
Excellent. Please would you shoot some video like you did on the NYC stranger portraits project?
I'd love to hear the mix of accents
I'm always amazed by the stuff you produce, Zack. My photos somehow seem to be only be an exercise in sympathetic magic. (sad face)
Hi Zack,
Loving the black and white. I really like the first photograph. The location has a gritty quality, and it doesn't look staged.
Great series of shots Zack. That trashed car is a great find but boy is that classic Citroën cool!
I'm digging the wig shop. Lurve this set.
Hiya Zack,
Was shots 5&6 taken with natural light or did you use the 28″ Softbox for that widow light wrap on the face?
Nice one mate!
Cheers Mars
I'm just wondering about how you lit the interior of that junker…
@pixtiva – The interior of the car shot was light coming through the torn up rag top of the roof and then a small amount of flash coming through the driver's side back window with a 28″ softbox for fill.
Hey… Wait a minute…
What's with those BRICK WALLS?
Or is this kinda like the "what happens in Vegas" bit?
Oi. Brick walls in London are way better than brick walls in America!
It's one things to have a bit of brick in a shot… it's another all together to have him leaning against a brick wall without anything else of interest!
Do note though it would have been great to find that car closer to a stucco wall.
The image of Mark in the car is absolutely brilliant. I don't mean to gush and I don't claim to be an expert, but that is honestly the best image I have seen in a long time.
Great series Zack; the B&W works really well for the 'Smoke' … aka London
Wow, it is so weird to see Camden Town without the market and its people.
Are those lit with speedlights?
Was this hot shoe flashes? Or did you take along a little more power?
@Carl – Just a single hot shoe flash on each of them except for the one with the mannequins. That was available light.
Great shot in the car Zack, can't wait to see more portraits of strangers around Camden. Some really interesting characters there!
Great shots of Kevin & the old gent – I really like the colour version of the opening shot.
So was the old gent someone you just happened to bump into in Camden, when you stopped off for a little liquid refreshment? 😉
Love the B&W in the car!
Exceptional work.
A lot of interesting concept!
Ok, now for a serious question… What did you say to make him laugh for the third shot… I've seen/heard some of your antics before to get natural reactions like that. What did you ask of him? Maybe what his favorite stripper name was… Or maybe some other crazy off the wall question that provokes laughter and general crazyness. Love to know. Jason
@Jason – He was laughing at the environment he was standing in. I think I asked him to look serious and that set him laughing.
@Tim – I was using the 28″ Westcott Apollo on most of these.
Your watermarks are Genius!
Awesome portraits. Curious as to what type of light and modifier you used on Kevin.
It is excellent light very soft
You're B/W are always sooo badass. love them.
Very nice compositions. His personality was captured very well too.
It needs a little more brick wall…
Awesome as always Zack. Personally I like the color version of the lead pic over the B&W, but it may be because I saw it first. I just find that particular color palette too nice to give away to B&W. Its muted, but oh so nice!
The "Now Open" shot. BOOM! Gorgeous!
Love the first one. Softlighter?
@Andy – Nope. Cloudy light coming in from the open roof of the car and just a smidge of fill from the side from a 28″ Westcott Apollo softbox.
Old gentleman is my favourite.
Very nicely done…
Especially the one with the Citroen DS in the background
Hello Zack,
I really love your style of photography, looks simple (…isn't…i know) and clean, quiet, smooth pictures. I've tried to copy a little bit of your style and try to make it my own….that's a hell of a job, but worth trying. Motivational stuff! Thanks.
Hey zack, I live an hour and a bit away from london and would like to do a shoot there. Though i don't know london very well other than the boring site seeing locations. is there anywhere you found in particular that is interesting for doing some fashion/portrait shoots?
@Josh – I live across the ocean from London and have found multiple places to shoot! Get off a tube stop. Find the main roads of a neighborhood. Start walking away from the main roads and start heading down the back alleys and side streets. Locations galore.
Business question–when you actually seek out a subject for a portrait like this, are making money or doing TFCD? Do you give the subject any licensing rights to the photos?
They look great!
@Brian – I do these kinds of things on a TFCD kind of basis. They help me by expanding my book and my experience and my network and they get usage of the photos for press and print.
Awesome work Zack!!!
Love it. The opener is better in color.
Hi Zack, an other great serie! The full subject and serie are full of lessons for me. Concerning the last portrait, I love to take street portraits of strangers, so did you approach the old man, asked him, or did you just find a way to shot unnoticed. Please continue to inspired all of us!
Street portraits – Usually just shot available light BUT I only shoot in light that is good… and I like to approach people and ask permission. Part of the fun is meeting people and hearing stories.
Wow, these are some amazing portraits.
And the last image is incredible. Do you light your subjects for your "Stranger portraits" project??
Hi Zack!
Business question: there´s any secret place to find artists/groups who want to make a photobook when you´re a newbie?
@Jim – Nope. Hardwork, determination, and networking. You have to go find the type of people you want to shoot to build your book. Model Mayhem, Twitter, FAcebook etc are tools to use to find those people but at the end of the day building your book is completely on your shoulders. Don't ever let anyone think they can do it for you or make it easy. (IE – Portfolio building workshops)
You are a real generous man Zack! The pics are great and following a bit of your explanations i start to see here and ther how you did and the effect it bring: Thank yuo so much!!!
The last portrait is so nice, I love to take protrait but did you spoke with the old gentelman before or did you just took the photo unnoticed.
Please just go on for beauty and inspiration sake! (soory for my english I am a frenchy)
love The Streets. Saw Mike Skinner perform live a few years back in T.O. [O.P.M – ya baby!]
'BUT I only shoot in light that is good…'
something i have to remember when scouting for location shoots. i find that i can 'find' the light randomly – street shooting etc, but when i plan a location shoot, the light is not there – and then I'm left hanging.
Question: when you plan location shoot's, what do you do when the 'light' is not there?
@ardean – If the light is just not there then I bring it with me for my location work. That's why lighting is so important to me because it lets me shoot in places where the light isn't that great. For street work though I like to be quick and nimble and just shoot available light. I imagine I'll do some street shooting in a completely opposite way at some point with a big battery pack and octabank. That should be fun.
Zack, absolutely -love- your pictures. Newbie photographer myself, and found your site after seeing your amazing 'guest blogger video' on youtube. It blew me away. Then found your Onelight DVD, which taught me more in a few hours than in the previous 10 years combined.
Anyway, I'm a transplanted American living in North London now, no idea if you're still in Ol' Blighty or not, but if you are, I hope you'll let me (and an others around!) buy you a pint while you're here!
That first one is gooorgeous- the light, framing, the way his skin tone works with the other colors…
and the wig shop is just fantastic too! Makes me smile!
I love the softness of the light on all the pictures in this set and they look as though they did not even go through any photo editing! As they look so natural.
Well done.
I look forward to your next visit to London and I will definitely be putting my name down for the one light workshop!
Best regards
Arrg! Zack,sorry; didn't realize my comment was in the moderation line. Could you please delete comments 50 and 51 (hopefully #48 gets through )
Love these Zack! The wig shop is bomb! I attended your one light class in LA in August…(I was the one moving to Atlanta). Absolutely loved it, thank you so much! Definitely want to go to some of the social connects you mentioned now that I'm here! How do I get on a list for them?
Thanks again!
Absolutely love anything and everything you've done B&W.
I do, however, have a question for ya. It's a simple question, with a plethora of angles for which it could be answered from, so here it is:
Watermarks? Obviously you shoot high profile subjects, you're shots are unique enough that someone can almost determine who shot it without knowing, but what about all those other people? I can't say I've seen a photo with a watermark on your blog in the year and a half that I've been frequenting it, so I have to ask…what is your stance on watermarking online photos?
Samuel – They are watermarked. You just have to find them.

My coming of age to legally own (not that I illegally own) is around the bend and I'm about to hit the market for my first handgun. This won't be my first firearm or the first handgun I have fired, so I know a little, but have experience with various calibers.
I do hunt, but don't see myself using a handgun primarily, so I'm looking for a good sidearm for those approached moments out hunting or hiking through the woods (which I have already twice while baiting bear), and above all that, something I could enjoy unloading at the range.
I have my interests in a .357 + .38 revolver of maybe a 4" barrel length and have had my eye on S&W's.
Anybody relay some names/models I should look out for (good and bad) next time a swing around the market, and I'd be very thankful.

|Pick Your Battles
Pick Your Battles
There is a whole lot of anger in the air lately! My inbox has been overflowing with messages from angry new faculty who are sick of departmental drama, tired of student hostility, and who are so filled with anger that they can't focus on their research and writing. I'm not sure if this pent-up anger is from unresolved conflicts that have been brewing all year, or the result of cumulative devaluation in the workplace. Either way, it seems clear that we could use some straight talk about Common New Faculty Mistake #13: Avoiding Conflict.
Conflict Is Inevitable
Academia is full of intellectual, interpersonal, political, and downright petty conflicts. While many new faculty members feel comfortable with intellectual conflicts, they struggle to effectively resolve everyday conflicts. Their discomfort in resolving conflict extends across a wide spectrum and includes people who have more power (senior colleagues and administrators) and people who have less power (students) within their institution. I believe this results directly from the fact that we all received extensive training in the art of substantive argumentation as part of our graduate research training, but few of us ever learned how to resolve interpersonal conflicts in ways that don't harm our relationships with others.
Healthy Conflict
Conflict in your professional life is inevitable, so it's critically important for all of us to learn when and how to express our feelings in ways that are effective and professionally appropriate. If you're underrepresented, you're likely to have more conflict AND to have your responses interpreted through particular frames, so you have to be extra skilled at conflict resolution. The good news is that learning how to engage in healthy conflict will allow you to express your feelings, retain your integrity, and minimize negative consequences to your professional relationships.
Here are the three questions I use when conflicts arise:
There are no right or wrong answers here. Sometimes pushing back makes sense; other times it's better to pull back and then go hit the punching bag at the gym. Either way, anger is energy so it has to come out of your body. In other words, don't confuse "pulling back" with "stuffing down!" Pulling back simply means releasing the angry energy in an indirect way because the costs of expressing it outweigh the benefits.
For the times when I decide to push back, my best trick is to use Marshall Rosenberg's formula:
For example, when someone came to my door and said, "Excuse me, I'm looking for Professor Rockquemore. Do you know where she is?" Despite my name on the door and the fact that I was the only person sitting in the room, my visitor must have had a synaptic misfire that disallowed these two pieces of data to result in the common-sense conclusion that I am Professor Rockquemore. This happened frequently, and most of the time I decided it wasn't worth pushing back. Typically, I pulled back, smiled, and said, "I'm Professor Rockquemore, what do you need?" But not that day! I was tired, cranky, and just sick of having to explain myself to others. I decided I had nothing to lose and much to gain by pushing back. My first impulse was to throw my stapler at the person's head, but instead I breathed deeply, paused, and asked myself: What is the most effective way to push back?
"When I'm the only person sitting in this office, and you ask me 'Where is Professor Rockquemore?' it makes me feel frustrated that you've looked at me and assumed I couldn't be that person. It also makes me feel angry that I live in a world where I have to keep explaining to people that I'm really a professor. Professors come in lots of different packages, so I just want to encourage you to rethink your assumptions about the type of people who fill that role. Now, how can I help you?"
This was a simple two-minute exchange, but I'm sharing it to make the point that we can choose to push back or pull back on a case-by-case basis (as opposed to always pushing back or always pulling back as our default strategy). There are a wide variety of possible responses to any conflict and each response has a different set of costs and benefits associated with it. When we let off the steam in small increments, it doesn't build up or put us in danger of exploding. And, because I have memorized Rosenberg's mental framework, (when you _____, I feel ______, I need _____, and I want you to _____), I can quickly and easily express myself in a way that is honest, clear, professional, and opens the space for real communication and conflict resolution.
The Weekly Challenge
This week I challenge you to do the following:
We often hear the generic advice to "pick your battles." This week, I want to encourage you to fundamentally rethink the idea that we have to wait until conflicts reach the stage of "battle!" Instead, let's recognize that conflict is a normal outcome of people working together in an academic community. As a result, let's begin to imagine ourselves as professionals who are comfortable, confident, and capable of resolving conflicts in our day-to-day lives.
Peace and Productivity,

Wood floor refinish cost - what to expect?
What should I expect to pay someone (a HDepot-type store or a local guy) to sand and finish my hardwood floor den, about 225sf?
I would do it myself but it might be dicey to transport a sander on my motorcycle :eek:
Any other tips/suggys/advice greatly appreciated!
Depending on what part of the country you are in prices range from $2.00 to about $3.00-$3.50.That would be everything sanding /filling/ staining/and poly, 2 coats some will do 3 but not likely.So lets say between $450.00 and $700.00 should be about right.
Now that would depend also on what kind of repairs would have to be made as well if there is alot of work that needs to be done then naturally the price would go up from there:cool:
floorman, that sounds awfully inexpensive to me. I would be on your high end IF I could do it all in one day which is impossible. You are right that prices vary regionally.
What type of things would warrant a lot of work? Split panels? Holes?
BTW, can either of you suggest where to look for a reputable provider for this? I'd just hit the yellow pages but then I'm dealing with a completely unkown quantity. Don't know that any neighbors will be any help referring anyone.
I should know most everything about NY as half of the population here consists of them. I would contact a large flooring center like Carpet One and get a few names. Most of the pros here are one man/mom&pop businesses, ask for refs. and check them out.
The quotes I got, for my ~200+sf area, were
-$350 sanded and 2 coats ($350 min)
-$1/sf with a $450 min sanded, 2 coats
What you have there my friend is alot of competition,that is why the prices are so low.Now just cause the price is low or high does not mean they are any better or worse than the other .Get references and check them well on both or get a couple of other bids and then compare.
You are going to get a different answer to the same question on everyone you ask so find you someone you trust and stick with him.and please don't forget to check the reference and give no money,or not over a third of the payment until he is finished:cool:

- - track tonight (http://www.wrxtuners.com/forums/f113/track-tonight-9911/)
track tonight
well went to the track tonight. i ran a 13.93 with 2.010 60-foot, and a 97.3 trap. with stage 2 stock wheels. i really need better wheels/tires. i only got one run in because the outlaw class kept hitting the walls. but at least i go one run in.
Sucks when you don't get a few runs in for practice. Not bad though.
Yeah not bad for just one run. I bet your next ones wouldve been mid 13's with a lower 60' time.
Actually, it's just nice to see someone actually going out to the track - we've had too many people in here posting street racing stories. We're trying to put an end to those discussions on our site. Thanks for sharing a "track" experience with us all. Hopefully others will follow your lead. I know there are more WRXers out there going to the track, it would be nice to see them help us in this effort by sharing their Track stories. This forum [i]is[/i] called "Track Talk".
Send me an email with your shipping address, t-shirt size, and t-shirt design preference - we'd like to send you out a t-shirt.
would any of you guys like to sponsor me so i can come racing with you, ill need $2600AU for a return airfair for me but i think my car freight might cost a little more, ill bring enough 98 octane fuel for everyone and ill also need somewhere to sleep for the night, i would like to race somewhere with altitude close to sea level with temps between 10-15 degrees celsius, then we can post heaps of track threads about how we almost ran 11s and drank heaps of rum afterwards and got real sick the next day and hooked up with heaps of hot women. (probably ugly ones but who can tell after 20 rum cans):cool:

"I don't believe in the word 'can't.' I never did and I probably never will. "
That was the central theme of a the keynote address at the Federation of Saskatchewan Indian Nations' "Future of First Nations Education" forum in Regina Wednesday. Former NHL hockey player and coach Ted Nolan gave the speech to more than 100 people gathered in the atrium at the First Nations University of Canada, relaying his experiences in hockey and how they can help advance education among Aboriginal people.
Nolan played three years in the NHL before finding larger success as a coach. After taking the helm of the Buffalo Sabres, he manage to get the team to a divisional championship in 1996/1997. That year he was awarded the Jack Adams Award, given each year to the league's top coach. He has coached other NHL teams since then, as well as American Hockey League squads. He currently coaches Latvia's national men's hockey team, which recently qualified for the next Winter Olympics. He also has a charitable foundation named after him which gives scholarships to hundreds of First Nations youth every year.
Nolan has also spent much of the last decade as a motivational speaker, giving speeches like the one he gave Wednesday to First Nations youth, organizations, and events all over North America.
"I really wanted to get a message out to a lot of people," Nolan said in the speech. "There's going to be certain times in your life that you're unable to do things. That doesn't mean you can't; it just means you need to learn how to."
Nolan explains that's the story of his life. He grew up on the Garden River Ojibway First Nation in Ontario, near Sault St. Marie. He had 10 siblings and his father died when he was still young. He remembered back to when he was a kid, creating his own rink on the reserve bucket by bucket, just because he wanted to play. The family couldn't afford new hockey equipment; when Nolan played he often had to wear skates two sizes too big. He admits he couldn't even skate properly and didn't begin playing in organized leagues until he was a teenager.
"I wasn't that good of a skater. I wasn't the biggest guy in the world; I wasn't the toughest guy. I couldn't even shoot a puck and I couldn't cross my feet -- you know those cross-overs you have to do -- I couldn't cross my right foot over my left to do proper circles so I just turned and darted. I skated as hard as I could. I told (my son) this and he said, 'Well how the heck did you ever make it anyway ?' And I made it because I really wanted to."
Nolan says he had a tough road to the NHL. When he started playing junior hockey at 16, his teammates were starting fights with him every night in training camp. He says it was hard and his family wanted him to just go home and stop punishing himself. But, Nolan insists, by following four rules he made it through. It was those same four rules he called on the 150-plus people in attendance Wednesday to consider following to help improve education in Saskatchewan for First Nations people: be willing to work as hard as you can, never stop trying even if you fail at first, make good decisions, and believe in yourself and what you're trying to do.
"If it's something you really want to do (like improving education) decision-making and doing the right things is probably as important as having the ability itself," he stressed in closing his speech.
Nolan feels that's the lesson First Nations youth, educators, even Chiefs should be living by: not to let the first taste of failure stop them in their tracks and to keep learning how to make things better.

Craigslist has finally decided to roll out pictures as a part of search. Started in 1995 as a mailing list and launched in 1996 as a website, Craigslist is one of the oldest sites to sell, swap, trade and hire people. It's right up there with Ebay…except for this "feature" which was 16 years overdue. I wonder if the next thing will be an API *gasp* – Then sites like PadMapper could give people the data they want about finding apartments without getting sued.
As you can see though, even with this new "feature", the design still appears to be done in a 1990's style of primitive HTML with no use of CSS. I wonder how beautiful Craigslist would look with just a simple stylesheet.
This feature has been needed for years. You can see from this Google search people have tried all sorts of workarounds including creating browser scripts with Greasemonkey to simply view inline images, something that Ebay implemented as early as 2000. I mean, you obviously were beta testing in certain markets but why not pay attention to this years ago simply by monitoring search volume for keywords and phrases like, "craigslist pic view"?
But wait, it doesn't stop there. After suing PadMapper, you started building your own little clone to providing users with visual map of items posted on Craigslist. Wakeup call – PadMapper started doing that THREE YEARS AGO. Think of how much you could have collected in tidy and convenient licensing fees by providing an API plus start building a network of great partnerships. Oh wait, that would have required you to read websites like ProgrammableWeb that talk about API Billionaires like Ebay, Facebook, Google, Netflix, NPR, Salesforce Amazon and more…plus how to monetize data — oh wait, I forgot, that's something you're obviously not interested in because spending money on lawyers is much more logical. Now instead of just PadMapper, there are a TON of sites building visual maps to assist in apartment searching. I used it in 2009 to look at places when I was still living in Minneapolis with hopes and dreams of moving to the Bay Area.
And WTF Craigslist? Why did you do this to 3Taps? I went to their website today and they have this posted up:
Going back to getting sued, Craigslist decided not only to sue companies like Padmapper and 3Taps, they set out to
destroy annoy the competition. I love Padmapper because it helped me find a place to live in San Francisco by alerting me via email when new listings were posted on Craigslist. The CEO of 3Taps, Greg Kidd, gave an amazing talk at Mashery's Business of API's conference here in San Francisco last year and you should watch it here (and attend the conference next year!):
Link to Vimeo Video of Greg Kidd at Mashery BAPI Conference
I've been a Craigslist user since 2004. I've bought and sold furniture and cars, landed jobs, adopted animals and even met my good friend Ed from connecting on Craigslist about some 1U rack mount servers I was looking to buy. That said, Craigslist has really let me down as a user, a technologist and as someone who values freedom, cooperation and providing information to people who need it.
Craigslist, you should be hanging your head in shame. The goal of Craigslist is to help people connect yet you are doing everything you can to prevent this through your actions.

Morgan Stanley Reiterates Overweight on Monsanto Company Following F1Q14 Results
In a report published Thursday, Morgan Stanley analyst Vincent Andrews reiterated Overweight and $150.00 price target on Monsanto Company (NYSE: MON).
According to the report, analysts continue to see seed COGS tailwinds as the key F14 EPS upside driver, with the payoff beginning in F2Q. Improved sentiment on seed demand and pricing should boost valuation in the meantime. Intacta performance in Brazil should provide upside throughout the middle of the year.
"Monsanto's F1Q performance was solid against a demanding comp in corn, increased R&D and SG&A expense due to the The Climate Corporation acquisition, further write-offs in Fruits & Vegetables, and a cotton acreage headwind," the report said. "We have increased comfort that Monsanto will achieve at least the low end of its price/mix guidance. Importantly, the just released 10Q indicates seeds price/mix +10% in F1Q14 despite volume -11% (lower planted corn acreage in Brazil)."
Key value drivers from the report include: -Intacta in Brazil & Argentina -SmartStax, Double/Triple Pro & RoundupReady2Yield in the US; Double and Triple Stack in LatAm. -Market share / competitive landscape -R&D / SG&A Leverage
MON closed Wednesday at $115.23 with shares trading up at 2.15 percent.

Interesting — If you think php5 is a no brainer choice since it's been around for almost three years now, you might want to think again.
I can find lots of reasons to develop in php5 rather than php4. php5 is closer to what I'd expect from an object oriented language, and it's reportedly 25% faster. Not to mention the pdo class, which is wonderful to work with.
Then again, developing software that 50% of your user base simply cannot use doesn't make any sense.
Picture the results of a poll conducted on Semiologic for two weeks:
Your server's php version?
- php 5.1.x: 24% (82)
- php 5.0.x: 12% (41)
- php 4.4.x: 29% (100)
- php 4.3.x: 17% (57)
- Other php version: 3% (9)
- I don't know: 16% (56)
Total Votes : 345
It is all too clear to me that incompatibilities between php4 and php5 are to blame. And I predict that things will get even worse with php6.
I bumped into this unofficial php6 wish list recently:
- Get rid of the BC crap in ext/date (derick)
- remove register globals DONE (pierre)
- remove all magic_* and throw E_CORE_ERROR when set DONE (pierre)
- safe_mode/open_basedir
- remove safe mode and throw E_CORE_ERROR when set
- unbundle safe_mode_exec_dir from safe_mode and keep it (rasmus) (take a look at this patch too)
- new ini option: open_basedir_for_include which would allow using include/require(_once) on an expanded set of directories (sara)
- Make the call-time-pass-by-reference an E_STRICT error. DONE (dmitry)
Also of interest, in PECL:
- make ereg an extension
- PCRE extension will not be allowed to be disabled.
- core of PHP should be made to work with PCRE so that we can safely disable ereg
- unbundle the regex library
It's like… tons of apps will be broken and will need to be rewritten. Not to mention that php4 and php6 apps will not easily be made compatible, which will most likely slow down host adoption of php6 even more.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
I have the same problem with mine. I plan to replace the 255/60s & put on 275/60s. I also plan to ditch the 4.11s for 3.73s.
When its time for this 454 to be freshened up Im gonna kill of some low speed torque intentionally for more mid & upper power. Infact I might yank the Performer intake off & put on a singlr plane.
Itll spin posi for a city block if I let it . with a borrowed set of 9x29.5 slicks it ran a 13.80. with regular radials.with street tires Id be lucky to get a 13.80 60 ft. LOL. John
Like everyone has alluded too, adding weight is one solution but, you really need to look at the whole combination. Weight, tires and traction devices. I would seriously consider a set of Cal tracs and some good drag radials to start THEN start adding weight to get your truck to hook up. Moving the battery to the right rear corner and taking the fuel tank out of the cab and putting a cell under the bed in back would also move the weight bias to a more usable location. Just some ideas but, to get the truck to work like you would like, will require addressing all of the issues.
Like stated previously, try adding weight temporarily.
Go easy with it, start at 150 pounds, and then add around 50-75 pounds at a time, just inside the tailgate, with a slight bias to the passenger side to counteract your weight in the drivers side.
Stop when you have achieved the desired effect.
|Crazy Mopar Guy
My work truck was a warmed over 2X4bbl 440, it had trouble keeping the tires planted during roll-ons, and it was a 3/4 ton club cab!
I found improving weight transfer and launch technique were the only grasp at coming out of the hole well.
|I had an 87 chevy p/u with a 454.. this went 13 flat on a very mild build. I went with the BFG drag radials which planted the tires very well 10 ft of tire spin compared to 800 ft with stock tires
|Way back, I got my clock cleaned really good by an El Camino with a 427 that didn't have any traction problems at all on the street. Friends said that he had weighted his tail gate, and then secured it in the down position. He added very little overall weight, but the weight he did add was far to the rear of the vehicle. I would also go for sticky tires, maybe some BFG Drag Radials (or whatever favorite brand you have) in the largest size that fits comfortably . You will still be able to blow them away if you try, but they do add quite a bit more bite. If nothing else, start the race from a roll.
|I think you nailed it right at the end. The back of pickups are usually just too light to get good traction. Especially if you are putting plenty of power to them. I had the same problem with my '63 chevy. I took the floor out of the bed and welded in a new 11 gauge floor. It took four guys to pick up the bed, but I got a whole lot more traction. You might look at adding weight in the rear corners, like with sandbags at first and figure out how much you want to add before you do anything permanent.
Nothing but spinning tires
What's the secrete to planting the tires on a pick-up? After replacing a worn out 350 with a 450 hp 383 on a 68 short bed I noticed a lot of wheel spin, but it doesn't seem like it has that "bet you can't touch the dash" feeling. It's a GMC so it has a Dana 44 posi, and leaf spring rear end. It has 275x60 tires but it seems like even after letting up to get them to connect, a little more gas causes them to start spinning again. I would really like to see the truck run with the average 350 Camero's and Nova's running around. I should have quite a bit more power & torque, and the truck really doesn't weigh that much. (it's really not any bigger than an S-10) So, if it's not HP, what makes a fast truck. Is taller gearing in order? Is it just too heavy, or too light in the rear end?

Shwetha Menon is going to be married in June 18 with her a fortunate guy who goes by the name of Srivalsan Menon, who works as a financial consultant. The marriage is arranged.
Even though she is very tired from the shooting of her new movie, she is able to give way to some reporters and answers their question in the set of her film. She knows firsthand that in Showbiz, there are no such things as break. Shwetha Menon both work as a model and as an actress, she got her first gig at the showbiz when she was just 15 years old.
She began telling everyone that the years of experience she has turned her into a mature and professional person.
Her exposure on the Miss India pageant gave way to her modeling and showbiz job. She is able to accomplish such a good name for her when she was only in her twenties. However, not all her experience was about glamor as one of those memories is about her broken marriage which she learned to endure over the years.
Although she manage to put her past behind her, she keeps thinking that if only she has able to have a heart-to-heart talk with her parents then the marriage never really happened. She would never experience the grievances of her ruined marriage. She also said that she is a believer in destiny that those things happen so that we could learn from it and become a better person.
It might be also destiny that gave her the role of Amina in P.T. Kunhumuhammed's film Paradesi, which launched her career further. Up to this day, the movie is one of the closest to her heart since Amina got older in the story. This has taken her acting career into different grounds; it also gave her confidence to try out other roles.
When she is asked if she will be leaving her current career once that she is married, she said that she is not yet ready to leave the world of showbiz. She fully loves her job and she would want to try a lot of roles that would be challenging for her.

Diamond donating 'Caroline' sales after Boston bombings
NEW YORK — Neil Diamond is donating this week's sales from "Sweet Caroline" after the tune became a source of comfort following the explosions at the Boston Marathon.
Sales from Diamond's song are up by 597 percent, Nielsen SoundScan said Wednesday. Diamond's representative said the singer will donate the recent sales to marathon bombing victims.
"Sweet Caroline" sold 19,000 tracks this week. It sold 2,800 tracks the previous week and 1.75 million tracks to date.
The crowd-pleasing song is a staple of Boston Red Sox games. It makes no specific mention of Boston or the Red Sox, but the team started playing it regularly at Fenway Park more than a decade ago and fans took to it.
The New York Yankees, Toronto Raptors and other professional sports teams also have played the song at games in the days after the deadly blasts April 15.
Diamond released "Sweet Caroline" in 1969. The song was inspired by Caroline Kennedy's name.

LOS ANGELES — Gwyneth Paltrow says she's thrilled to be picked by People magazine as "World's Most Beautiful Woman" for 2013 but it's "obviously not true."
Paltrow questioned her own selection as she walked the red carpet at the Hollywood premiere of "Iron Man 3" Wednesday night.
"It's funny, these things, because it's like obviously not true. But it's very sweet to be named that," Paltrow told The Associated Press. "Because I mean you can't say that, you know! But it's been wonderful. It's been very wonderful. And as my friend said, it's so nice that someone who has kids and is a mom and is not like 21 is named that. It's really an honor."
Paltrow, 40, said her two children weren't aware of the news in this week's edition of the magazine, but she'd been getting plenty of congratulatory emails from friends and family.
The actress stars as Pepper Potts, Tony Stark's love interest and assistant-turned-business partner in the "Iron Man" trilogy. Her co-stars in "Iron Man 3" praised People's proclamation.
"Completely justified. Completely justified. She's gorgeous," said Guy Pearce.
"Let me tell you: She is as gracious and beautiful inside as she is outside. She's got a good heart. She's got a good heart. A lovely girl," said Ben Kingsley.

NEW YORK — NBC says it's planning a 12-day-long, around-the-clock competition show to air this fall.
The network said Wednesday that the trivia-based game show, "The Million Second Quiz," will air live in prime time from a specially built studio in the heart of Manhattan. This hourglass-shaped complex will also serve as the living quarters of the four finalists.
When the 12 days — or 1 million seconds — draw to a close, the winner could claim a cash prize of as much as $10 million.
Viewers will be able to play along in real time and sync to the prime-time broadcast.
NBC's president of alternative and late night programming calls the show "a game, a social experiment and a live interactive event."
The network didn't announce a premiere date.

LOS ANGELES — Jane Fonda is planning to shed a few tears on Saturday.
That's when the Oscar winner will place her hand and footprints next to her father's in the concrete shrine to celebrity outside Hollywood's Chinese Theatre. Then she'll present a special screening of the film she made with her dad, 1981's "On Golden Pond." The cement and cinematic tribute is part of the 2013 TCM Classic Film Festival, which is honoring Fonda, 75.
"I am very, very excited," Fonda said in an interview this week. "I thought probably I would die and this would never happen. I'm just really thrilled that it actually is happening and not only that, but I get to put my hand and footprints right next to my father. ... I'm just so happy I'll probably cry."
The honor inspired Fonda to reflect on her career, which hasn't slowed since she returned to acting in 2005 after a 15-year hiatus.
"I've made some really good films. There's also a lot of films I wish I could do over again," she said. "But I've been lucky: I've worked with some great directors, and I feel like I'm still a work in progress as an actor. I feel like I'm still learning."
After her guest-starring stint on "The Newsroom," she's more interested than ever in television.
"I'd love to have a television series of my own," Fonda said. "I'm hoping that might happen."
A fitness pioneer, Fonda continues to focus on health and wellness with a series of videos aimed at older exercisers. She also inspired countless Oscar watchers earlier this year with her fitted, bright yellow gown, and she serves as L'Oreal's oldest spokeswoman.
"When you're younger, you don't have to put so much time into it, but also I didn't care that much. I was an activist and I didn't think so much about how I appeared," she said. "As I've gotten older, I've paid more attention to how I dress, how I look, what makeup I use, what skincare products I use ... I guess one reason that I put more effort into looking good now is because I think it gives hope to other women. It takes the edge off the fear that young people have of getting older."
The wisdom and openness that come with aging are easy to wear well, and Fonda said she's happier now than ever.
"This event that's coming up where I get to put my hand and shoeprints next to my dad in front of the Chinese Theatre, it's coming at a very happy time in my life," Fonda said, "and making it even happier."

+1 to adthomas. The idea behind suggesting detangling in the shower is that you can apply your conditioner, let it sit and then when the hair is at its softest you can detangle with less stress to the hair. Finger detangling is recommended, but with tight coily hair that may not always be enough to get all the shed hairs out. Sometimes you need to go back in with a wide tooth comb, but that is perfectly fine as long as you're gentle. Not sure where the running water bit came from, though. That works for some and not for others. I prefer to detangle (also in sections) and then rinse under the water with my fingers afterwards, just as a double/triple check that all the tangles are out, but I don't just stand under the shower trying to detangle my whole head.
All care "methods" are not rules, they are simply guidelines, meaning not required but
. In the end just do what works best for
I know people say that a lot but it's true. It really is in each person's best interest to view it like that (time, money, etc). For the people that struggle with their hair trying to find "the right regimen"...the sooner you figure out that you just have to get in there and try different things to see what works, the easier it will be, like a light bulb will click on and it won't be such a mystery anymore lol.

Jacob Edward Caple
May 15, 2013 at approximately 4 pm, Baxter County Doug Meurer was westbound on Hwy 178 near Lakeview, Arkansas when he observed a vehicle eastbound coming towards him at a high rate of speed. Deputy Meurer locked the vehicle on his radar at 112 miles per hour in a 55 mph zone. Deputy Meurer activated his blue lights and the vehicle continued past him at a high rate of speed. Deputy Meurer radioed the description of the vehicle and driver to the Baxter County Dispatch.
Deputy Meurer was unable to catch up to the suspect vehicle, however a few minutes later, Mountain Home Police Sergeant Brian Corbett radioed he and Officer Rodney Wiggins had the suspect vehicle located at Baxter Regional Medical Center and the suspect in custody. Sergeant Corbett had locked radar on the suspect at 76 Mph near Hospital Drive; however the suspect would not stop for the City Police Officers either.
The suspect, Jacob Caple admitted to officers he saw both Deputy Meurer and Sergeant Corbett but was on his way to the hospital to see a family member who had been taken there earlier in the day. Caple was taken into custody without further incident and booked into the Baxter County Detention Center. A subsequent search of Caple's vehicle found schedule II pills, Oxycotin.
Jacob Edward Caple, age 21 of Lakeview was charged with:
Caple's bond was set at $3,500. He is scheduled to appear in Baxter County Circuit Court on Thursday morning at 1 pm.

The contributions from the three main party leaders and those from most of the "free-thinkers" suffer from the same fundamental flaw. They believe that the solution to the crisis is for "them" (the political class) to take the initiative in designing a package of reforms, or promises to consider reforms, which they can present to "us". "They" can do this as it is their right to give "us" whatever rights, liberties and privileges "they" consider "we" deserve. (A student of early 17th-century history would note the similarities in this mindset to that of James and Charles Stuart between 1603 and 1640, and be alarmed).
Just as the approach of the Stuart kings was doomed to fail in early 17th-century England, so the approach of the political class is doomed now. It does not address the need to put Britain's constitutional arrangements on a footing consistent with those needed for the UK to become a modern democratic polity, that is, one where political authority flows only from the people.
This requires a written constitution, which cannot come from an Act of Parliament, but from the deliberations of some other body. The body would then consider which matters were appropriate for constitutional protections and which were matters left outside.
Among its most important provisions would be that the constitution will place Parliament in the position of needing to act in line with it. So the keystone of the British constitutional arch would no longer be the supremacy of the Crown-in-Parliament, but would be the supremacy of the people set out in the Constitution. After the body has completed its deliberations, the body would place the constitution before the people for their approval in a plebiscite. Any future changes would also needed direct popular approval.
The key question is, how do we get this process started?
Philip Hamshare
London SE27
The three parties are competing about how they would reform parliament. Parliament must reform parliament. It should not be reformed by the party that wins the election and then controls the over-mighty executive, which itself is part of the problem. That means no party's manifesto must be the blueprint.
The reform must be effected by all main parties and a very large majority of members. So manifestoes should include an all-party modus operandi for reform. The election must not be fought on who's got the best reform of parliament. How can voters choose between reforms?
It's a serious matter: it needs at least a couple of years to research and consider and make decisions, then to implement. We can't have this reform decided largely by one political party through the ballot box in a few months.
What's happening is macho-management gone mad. The leaders are all competing like stallions for the mares. Why do we as a nation now always crave a strong man to decide huge and precious and difficult things in the space of a week? It's all about Alan Sugars, City managers, tough decisions, dynamic action, strong leadership; but that's the route to hype, "not fit for purpose", "dumbing down", quick fixes, Berlusconi, Putin and in extremis to Hitler. How different is Obama.
Philip Morgan
Winchester, Hampshire
So David Cameron thinks that suddenly we will believe he intends genuine political reform? I'm sorry, but the Conservatives have been on the wrong side of any political reform for their entire history as a political party. The clue is in their name.
Mr Cameron may think that because he has proved more popular than his immediate incompetent predecessors as Tory leader he has acquired "street cred" but he is wrong. What has happened is that our political establishment and most of the media have swung behind this Blairite clone as the logical continuation of a right-wing consensus which has throttled reformist politics during the Labour years.
Cameron doesn't want to change anything significant. Yes, some slight changes at the edges might be vaguely considered but the big questions have already been ruled out. Labour and Conservatives have nothing to choose between them. Both have MPs fiddling their expenses and both share a right-wing agenda. Both support the pointless Trident II and both believe being the puppet of America makes Britain great.
Four basic points are required to begin genuine reform of Westminster: embrace genuine electoral reform because FPTP inevitably leads to untouchable, unreachable, unpopular government; abolish or elect the House of Lords; force MPs to drop all outside interests as soon as they enter parliament; and remove the oath that stops republicans from entering parliament.
David Cameron wants none of these, nor does Gordon Brown, so where's the difference between them?

There is an effusion of platitudes being spouted by our discredited MPs about "returning power to the people" and making the "political elite accountable to citizens". Two words will make these people revert to their self-serving type: "English Parliament".
The only reason Westminster MPs oppose an English Parliament is because it would put them all out of a job, just as the Scottish Parliament has made them all redundant in Scotland. The MPs with the smallest workload are those in Scotland, but many claim the largest expenses.
We need an immediate general election, then parliaments for England, Wales and Northern Ireland, to make us equal to the Scots. The UK Parliament can then be vastly reduced in the number of MPs, and funded by the devolved parliaments in a truly federal system.

For once a Government front-bencher has seen the light. Alan Johnson's statement that a referendum on proportional representation should be part of the modernisation of our political system gives some hope. It is sad that the Tory front bench base their opposition on the fear of a weak government and Italian political chaos.
How can a government opposed by 65 per cent of the electorate hold any legitimacy? How come Italy is always referred to in PR matters when most of mainland Europe seems to function and thrive under the PR system without having monthly or yearly elections?
If we wish to engage the voters, especially the young ones, to take an interest in our democracy, PR is a must. The threshold for obtaining parliamentary representation can be set at a level where only parties with significant national support will be represented. This will avoid single-cause protest parties but ensure any party with a significant national vote will be represented and scrutinised.

Dr Stephen Leah (letters, 28 May) correctly points out that reducing the number of MPs will leave proportionally more MPs as ministers, bound to support the Government. As long as ministers also serve in the Commons, the Commons will provide no effective check on the executive. They are too entwined.
The solution is to appoint ministers from outside and from the Lords, with confirmation by the Commons. Any MP who becomes a minister, including the Prime Minister, must resign their seat. This, combined with fixed-length terms, will separate the branches, ending their cosy complicity.

Church must speak against the BNP
The Archbishops of Canterbury and York have warned voters to resist the British National Party's ambitions presumably to make further inroads into those "few troubled towns in the north-west of England" which you mention (Leading article, 25 May).
As a minister of the United Reformed Church, in an area targeted by the BNP, I have written to the local press more than once because I do not wish to have the politics of hatred spoiling the initiatives for peace and inclusiveness where we live and work. How can people of conviction resist speaking out when it is so close to home?

There are three reasons for the BNP website being apparently "more popular" than the Tory, Labour and Lib Dem sites. First, the big three have many local sites, MPs' sites, MEPs' sites and regional sites. The BNP doesn't. Add up all the regional sites and the BNP are not winning on the internet. Second, there are many independent blogs for followers of the big three, and fewer for BNP fans. Third, the nation's anti-racists (and journalists) do not go sniffing around on the Green Party's site, worrying that the fascists are on the rise.
Yes, I looked at their site myself; yes, I was there quite a while. No, I am not "open to persuasion" from those people; "not buying, just looking".

Justice for the Orkney Council
I am unaccustomed to defending employees and officials of Orkney Islands Council, but your attack on their expenses (26 May) is unjust. You cite a trip to Easter Island as an extravagance. Given that sites in Orkney such as Skara Brae have World Heritage status that puts them on a par with Easter Island, a fact-finding trip to see how Easter Island is managed is not outlandish.
People who do not live on Orkney cannot appreciate how time-consuming travel can be if one does not fly. Unlike councillors in, to choose a random example, London, Orkney officials cannot travel to meetings in neighbouring authorities easily other than by plane.
This is not a luxury. Travel by boat is time-consuming in a way that no one would consider efficient, and any boat trip would subsequently have to be followed by a lengthy train or road trip. This is not sensible financially or time-wise. Try travelling to Orkney without flying.

Plane speech
Now that British Airways has witnessed a significant falling-off of demand for flying (report, 23 May), is it not time that all the Government's plans for pointless airport expansion also fell off the edge of the runway?

Plaintive call
Here in the west of Norfolk, we would normally expect to hear the cuckoo every day at some point during the spring (report, 28 May), but this year I have heard him only once, calling at half-past midnight. I had never heard this before and it made me wonder if this solitary bird was so desperate for a mate that he was still calling at this unearthly hour. There was an eerie silence, broken only by this creature's plaintive call across the fen.

She's right and wrong
John Hawgood complaining about the reference to ships, countries and mountains as "she" (letters, 27 May) would have his work cut out writing letters to newspapers should he live in France, since everything is allocated a male or female gender in French. And in German the gender allocated to many things is not the same as that in French. But he might be content with "a young girl" in Germany being considered to be a neuter item (Das Mädchen).

Integrity's the goal
Yet another sale of an English Football Club to a foreign owner, only three years after a sale to a Franco-Russian tycoon, who now says he does not have time to spend on the club (Sport, 28 May). The need for restrictions on foreign ownership of football clubs to avoid such instability as in the case of Portsmouth, promised by the World and European football governing bodies, has never been greater. Action rather than soothing words is needed, without further delay, to restore some integrity to football.

Unions busted?
Are the halcyon days of the once-powerful trade unions over, now that hundreds of businesses are either going to the wall or making massive redundancies, with the now toothless unions apparently unable to protect jobs any more?

Sorry to be pedantic, Dee Quinn, (letters, 27 May), but Helen Sharman was on a Soviet space station, so she was a cosmonaut, not an astronaut.

Talking bullocks
Like many, Alex James (Rural Notebook, 27 May) seems a little confused about cattle. Most of the beef we eat comes from castrated bulls. They are variously called bullocks or steers or stirks and, because of their emasculation, are usually fairly docile.
