After taking the lead in the third quarter and making a game of it, the McDonald County girls basketball team couldn't hold off the Aurora Lady Houn' Dawgs on Thursday.
After taking the lead in the third quarter and making a game of it, the McDonald County girls basketball team couldn't hold off the Aurora Lady Houn' Dawgs on Thursday.
The score, 55-43, wasn't indicative of how close the game actually was. It was a sloppy game full of turnovers, especially in the first half, but the Lady Mustangs played one of their best, if not the best, quarter of their season in the third, but couldn't hang on at the end.
Backed by an 11-point barrage in the third quarter from Sarah Rickman, the Lady Mustangs fought back from a 26-18 halftime deficit to go on an 8-0 run and tie it at 26 on a layup by Rickman. Another layup by Rickman with 5:03 remaining in the third made it 30-28 for the Lady Mustangs.
They continued to grow their lead until a pair of three-point plays — one on a 3-pointer and another on a basket and a foul — by Lakin Waggoner pulled the Lady Houn's back into the fracas. Aurora eventually re-gained the lead on a 3-pointer from Rachel Parker to make it 39-37 with 39 seconds left in the third.
That would be the final lead change in the game. Aurora led 41-37 at the start of the fourth quarter and went on to shoot 12-of-19 from the free throw line in the final period to preserve the victory.
Rickman went on to lead the Lady Mustangs with 19 points while Preslea Reece turned in 12. Courtni Smith tallied six points while Kali Hodson added four and Dani Pierce two.
Baylee Hilton and Waggoner both scored 11 points for the Lady Houn's while Shania Siegrist poured in eight, Rachel Parker seven, Paige Whitlock six, Sydney Shoemaker and Kendra Eden four and Katie Juracek and Regain Cline two.

The Keystone XL pipeline remains a major point of contention within the Democratic Party, as green voters pull President Obama one direction and pro-energy senators and labor unions pull the other. It looks as though the "comment period" for the project will be extended, delaying a decision past the November elections.
From NPR News, this is ALL THINGS CONSIDERED. I'm Audie Cornish. The Obama administration is delaying a decision on the controversial Keystone XL pipeline. That's the pipeline designed to carry oil from the Canadian tar sands to the Texas Gulf Coast. It's at the center of a big money fight between environmentalists and industry. As NPR's Tamara Keith reports, many see this move as political.
TAMARA KEITH, BYLINE: The decision on whether to allow construction of the Keystone XL pipeline currently rests with the State Department. Today, in a call with congressional staff and other stakeholders, department officials said they were giving federal agencies more time to review the project. The stated reason: a court ruling in Nebraska earlier this year about the route the pipeline would take had introduced uncertainty. Just how long the process could be delayed is unclear, but the response was immediate.
CINDY SCHILD: It's sad, it's shocking and, you know, it's just putting this delay in perpetuity when we could be putting Americans to work.
KEITH: Cindy Schild is with the American Petroleum Institute which backs the projects.
SCHILD: Once again, we're looking at a sad day when we're seeing politics trumping good policy decision-making at the White House. You know, we're broaching six years nearly of review of one pipeline project.
KEITH: The White House referred questions about the delay to the State Department. Republicans in Congress were quick to call the delay political, pointing out this would likely push the decision beyond the midterm elections this fall.
The Keystone XL pipeline is a tough issue for Democrats and the Obama Administration. Environmentalists are firmly against it to the point where it's become a cause celeb. But some labor leaders support it, as do some Senate Democrats from energy states. But if the pipeline goes through, it would anger another key part of the Democratic base. Bill McKibben is an environmental activist.
BILL MCKIBBEN: We need more than delays. We need the president to act boldly and send a signal for the rest of the world that this is the kind of project that we just can't do going forward.
KEITH: But with this delay, the conclusion of this epic fight moves just that much further away. Tamara Keith, NPR News, the White House. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Board Examination is one of the most important milestones in the life of every Indian student. Board examinations in the state of Uttar Pradesh are conducted by the Board of High School and Intermediate Education which was established in 1921 in Allahabad by the Act of United Provinces Legislative Council. The BHSIE is responsible for conducting both the 10th standard (secondary school) and 12th standard (inter college / senior secondary school) examinations. As per a PTI report, there shall be around 34 lakh students appearing for the 10th standard examination and around 26 lakh students appearing for the 12th standard examination in 2018. With a new government in place, people are hoping for some reforms in the field of education as well. Stepping into the expectations of people, the Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh, Shri Yogi Adityanath has declared a Whatsapp number for registering complaints related to cheating cases.Gwalior Board 10th result 2018 Exam Time Table:
The examination time table is usually released by the Board in the month of either December or January. However, as per a PTI report, the Deputy Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh, Mr. Dinesh Sharma has directed the BHSIE to release the official time table for the board examinations in the month of October itself. This has been done for the overall benefit of the students. It shall be a landmark step in the state if this directive is actually put in process. Students shall get an idea of the dates much in advance and can prepare for their exams accordingly. However, as per advice from educationists, not much emphasis should be placed on the time table. Students should devote equal time to all their subjects for consistency in their results. The exams are tentatively scheduled to be held in the month of March / April, 2018.Admit card for Gwalior Board 10th result 2018
The admit cards and roll numbers are two of the most important things in the Board Examination process. Roll numbers shall be declared around a month prior to the examinations by the board in their official website. The admit cards shall be available online as well as offline, in the respective schools of the students. They are advised to collect their admit cards and verify all information prior to the actual examinations. The admit cards have to be carried to the examination centers regularly, without which they shall not be allowed entry.Result of Gwalior Board 10th result 2018
Although the previous years had seen some delay in the declaration of results, it is expected that this year the results shall be declared on time. They are expected around the month of June, 2018. It is of supreme importance, especially for students of 12th standard that the results are out on time so that they can process the formalities for the admission process into various state and central universities. We shall be updating you with information related toGwalior Board 10th result 2018from time to time. Please keep coming back to this space to stay updated on the latest news.

Scenes from the Station nightclub fire
Scenes from the Station nightclub fire
On Feb. 20, 2003, a quick-moving fire broke out in a West Warwick, R.I., nightclub, killed 100 people and injuring hundreds more.
Great White was only minutes into its set at The Station nightclub when pyrotechnics were ignited on stage.
The band said it had permission from the club's owners to use pyrotechnics. Owners Michael and Jeffrey Derderian said Great White did not ask or receive permission.
The theatrical fireworks were to signal the show's start. The band was opening with the song "Desert Moon."
Pumping hands and displays of the "Devil's Horns" became hands pointing to the fire, which started with the flammable soundproofing foam on the walls and ceiling.
The fire quickly spread throughout the nightclub.
The flames that started on the stage engulfed the entire club within three minutes, fire officials said.
Firefighters responded to the scene, the day's shift ending with body bags being carried away.
A victim was carried outside the club as the fire raged.
Many Great White fans became trapped in the doorways, some even trampled upon as other people tried to escape the fire.
A burn victim was taken by a firefighter and a rescuer from the fire.
Firefighters sprayed water onto the charred remnants of the nightclub.
Firefighters crowded the front entrance to look for victims and try to control the fire.
"I would say to let off pyrotechnics in that building you were asking for trouble," said Donald Carcieri, then governor of Rhode Island. He added, "If there's criminal wrongdoing, believe me, it will be pursued."
A bar chair and other debris sat among the ruins. The fire was the deadliest nightclub fire in US history since 1977.
Steven Ayer of West Warwick searched for his daughter Tina Ayer, who was at the nightclub and unaccounted for. Her father said "I just won't accept it" as he left the scene.
Steven Ayer held photos of his daughter, Tina, the day after the fire. She was later identified as one of the 100 killed.
When a body was discovered, firefighters removed their helmets and paused for a moment of silence. Fire chaplains said prayers over the remains.
Rhode Island Superior Court Administrator Joe Conley stood in front of the charred remains of the reassembled stage and drummer's alcove used to house evidence retrieved from the nightclub.
An unidentified firefighter wearing a Coventry, R.I., jacket paused before entering a makeshift Red Cross station to rest.
Five firefighters were treated for smoke inhalation; more suffered psychological distress.
"I've never been prouder to be the chief," said Charles Hall, then chief of the West Warwick Fire Department. "It takes its toll; it's very stressful."
Firefighters declined to talk to reporters but could be seen wiping tears from their eyes and sweat from their brows.
Colleen Sweeny of West Warwick brought flowers to The Station. She was a member of OS Singles, a group that often held meetings at the club.
A Rhode Island state trooper removed the letters of the band, Great White. Changes since the fire include requiring sprinklers for nightclubs and bars with occupancy limits of 100 or more and banning pyrotechnics in all but the largest public venues.

It's great to have a pool on your property. Swimming is a recreational activity for the whole family and making sure that your pool is always ready is a big plus. Besides homes that have a pool are definitely more valuable than those that don't. In case you are thinking of building a pool on your property then you can consult with pool building firms and see how to move forward with this. There are many different types of pools including above ground pools, underground pools, indoor, and outdoor pools. And that is not all, pools can be made from various materials such as fiberglass, concrete, tiles, and in some cases vinyl. As for homeowners who already have a pool, proper maintenance is very essential. If you want your pool to last long and deliver good service, you need professional pool service in Hermosa Beach.
Other than regular pool maintenance, there are some very specific services that you will normally get from pool service in Hermosa Beach. However, pool cleaning is the most important thing. Professional pool cleaning has to be done at least once in a year to make sure that everything is working fine. You will also get pool plumbing inspections and repairs, installation and removal of pool covers, and draining or acid cleaning. The pool service in Hermosa Beach will also help you with the backwash filtration system if it has an issue, inspect and fix filtration equipment as well as check out other equipment. The great thing is that pool service in Hermosa Beach is not as expensive as it seems.
How much does pool service in Hermosa Beach cost? The cost will vary based on a number of factors. For example, a homeowner who is hiring a reliable Hermosa Beach pool service professional for cleaning will pay a different fee compared to someone who is getting repairs on the plumbing or water filtration system. It all depends on the service you need and of course the pedigree of the Hermosa Beach pool service provider that you are working with. Pool maintenance cost which will include some of the things listed above is charged per hour and the average cost per hour will range from $75 to $80 an hour. These fees can be very different in the city you are in so get in touch with the closest pool service and get the quote you need.
For reference it may be helpful to compare the costs from surrounding towns as well:
It's easier to assume this but it's something you don't really want to do unless of course you have previous experience in pool maintenance. Pool maintenance involves a number of things some of which might be very complicated for an ordinary homeowner. This is the main reason why you are better off if you worked with a top Hermosa Beach pool services expert.
It depends on whether your pool is working well or not. In most cases issues with swimming pools may not be emergency problems. However, ensure that the problem you have has been fixed as fast as possible to avoid any future damages. Calling the Hermosa Beach pool service professional will also help reduce costs of repair.
The aim here is to make sure that the quality of water remains very high. Evaporation leads to the concentration of minerals into the pool water which may affect your experience. Getting a good pool service in Hermosa Beach is the first big step towards proper pool maintenance.

Westcott's 2331 has the convenience of an umbrella combined with the control of a softbox. Built on an umbrella frame, the Apollo light modifiers set up in seconds. No additional parts and pieces to lug around as these units simply open up just like an umbrella and set up in seconds making them perfect for any on-location photographer. While most softboxes require expensive and heavy adapter rings to properly set up, these units simply fit into the umbrella receptacle found on virtually all style studio lights.
The Apollo light modifier is a perfect pair with speedlites offering soft box control with the set up ease of an umbrella. An optional 5015 Shoe Mount bracket is required to mount the speedlite and Apollo onto a light stand with full tilting capability. No need for an adapter ring as virtually all style studio lights come standard with an umbrella receptacle to attach the Apollo light modifier.
The included shoe mount bracket is adjustable providing a perfect fit with your speedlite. All-metal construction provides the ultimate in quality and mount the included adjustable shoe mount bracket directly to any standard 5/8" light stand. Lock into place by tightening the turn knob. No plastic to easily break on our shoe mount bracket as the tilt locking washer is constructed from solid metal. Compare this to many plastic washers more commonly found on market.

As smartphones get"smarter," they resemble computers more and more every day, and their size and portability makes them a viable alternative to carrying a laptop.
The downside is that they also become increasingly attractive to hackers.
And it seems that smarter phones lead to smarter exploits. When the DroidDream exploit was exposed, Google responded swiftly with the Android Market Security Tool. Not to be outfoxed, hackers got a hold of the tool, added a Trojan to it and sent it back out to the public through a third-party Chinese market. Google then shot back by deploying a kill switch that automatically removed the malware from infected phones.
As the war between those who would exploit and those who would protect rages on, it becomes clear that ultimately we need to educate ourselves to be smarter than our phones.
The Trojanized version of the Security Tool had a few telltale giveaways that should have set off red flags. For example, it was not available on the Android Market, and it asked for permissions it should not have been required to fulfill its function.
Let's discuss a couple of common sense approaches to mobile security that will protect you and your smartphone from exploits.
A frequent example: If you are trying to download a scientific calculator and it's asking for texting permission, something's not right. As is any app requesting a urine sample. (Although interestingly enough, a UK group of clinical research was working on an app that will check for STDs via a urine-laden micro-USB chip.)
Requiring people to carefully read the permission screens is likely to cause business downtime as employees take the time to ponder the installation prompts rather than just clicking"next" as they have been trained to do. And to be fair, does the average smartphone owner know what SMS is—much less if it's required for the app being installed? We kind of hope so, but we can't really count on it.
Of course a"reputable source" is left to each user to define. Based on how quickly Android Market discovered and removed DroidDream, some may accept it as a safe source. Then again, DroidDream did make it on to the Android Market in the first place, so safety is relative.
Surprisingly, there are still users out who are reluctant to invest in antivirus software for their personal computers. It's likely that they will show the same disdain for their phones. Businesses face that particular problem when it comes to monitoring an employee's personal cell phone (which may contain client phone numbers).
To meet SMB mobile security needs, a number of software companies have already come out with antivirus protection for smartphones, and really this is the best option for ultimate security.
Webroot has just come out with a mobile security app that you can access through several ways. You can either download a free version from the Android Market, or visit us to scan our convenient QR code. The free app doesn't slow down your operating system and includes a remote-locking feature so no one but the intended user can use the device. It also blocks harmful websites, automatically checks for security updates every day and bars malicious software before it has a chance to infect your device.
For an upgraded version that lets you know whether you're downloading a non-marketplace app and warns you of possible risks when using your USB port to download apps to your device, visit a BestBuy store near you.
Common sense may not be as common as it once was. Even if you know what to look for, sooner or later a really clever exploit will get past you. When that happens, Webroot's got you covered.

The levels of difficulty of the flute music published by G. Henle Publishers
"The task is easy - yet easy is difficult"
("Zwar ist es leicht, doch ist das Leichte schwer")
Goethe has Mephisto say this in "Faust II" and the categorizing of musical works according to their levels of difficulty is thus relative in the extreme! Relative – depending on the perspective of a teacher, a student or a performer; nevertheless using our Henle criteria we are trying to differentiate between works, grading them according to whether they are easy, medium or difficult. This classification system is intended as an orientation and a help for those trying to find a suitable work amongst all of the excellent Urtext editions. In order not to be daunted by pieces with the level of difficulty 9, perhaps we might somewhat subjectively claim that with practice Goethe's quotation may be reversed: "The task is difficult, yet difficult [may become] easy [too]!"

Palmyra is a bit of a jaunt from the lake area. The town is two hours from St. Louis, seven miles west of the Mississippi River, and twelve miles north of Hannibal. Situated not far from the River Road, Palmyra's residents have increased from 150 in 1820, to today's total of 3,600. This is a small town with a big history.
Palmyra is a bit of a jaunt from the lake area. The town is two hours from St. Louis, seven miles west of the Mississippi River, and twelve miles north of Hannibal. Situated not far from the River Road, Palmyra's residents have increased from 150 in 1820, to today's total of 3,600. This is a small town with a big history.
The town is most famous for the 1862 Palmyra Massacre during the Civil War. The Palmyra Massacre was the execution of ten Confederate prisoners as justice for the capture of a pro-Union civilian, Andrew Allsman. History relates that in 1862, Colonel Joseph Porter of the Confederacy raided Palmyra. During this raid he took Andrew Allsman prisoner. Porter made the decision to let Allsman go free. A guard was to escort Allsman back toward Palmyra, but Allsman was never seen again and was presumed to be dead.
In the meantime, Missouri Civil War documents state that authorities in Palmyra, under the command of Brigadier General John McNeil, released an order for Allsman's immediate release. The punishment for failure to return Allsman in ten days was the execution of ten Confederate prisoners being held in Palmyra and Hannibal. Porter had moved on and likely did not receive the message. Ten days passed and Allsman failed to return. General McNeil carried out the execution. Ten Confederates were shot in front of a firing squad of 30 men on Oct. 18, 1862. Original documentation can be found through Missouri Digital Heritage.
The Palmyra Confederate Monument Association erected a granite monument outside the courthouse in Palmyra in 1907 in memory of the ten victims. The actual site of the massacre is a farm field just east of Palmyra. The skull, believed to be that of Allsman, was found in a field many years later. It was, eventually, returned to his family.
A few interesting particulars include: the building that served as the headquarters for the provost marshal and Federal Prison in 1858 during the Civil War is being restored as a museum, the old city jail houses the "Calaboose" restaurant, and the 1839 Palmyra Spectator is the oldest continuously operating weekly newspaper in Missouri. In 1829, the first church was organized in Palmyra. The town was incorporated in 1830. There were, by then, seven lawyers, four doctors, and three taverns. In 1832 the first newspaper, "the Missouri Courier," was established. The first jail was built in 1837. In 1840, the first brick house was built. An all-boys school, St. Paul's College, opened in 1848 and is now a private residence. The Palmyra Church was built in 1870 by early settlers and is on the National Register of Historic Places. Visitors can find the 1858 home of William Russell, a founder of the historic Pony Express.
The Palmyra visitors' guide states there are over "two hundred antebellum structures in a variety of architectural styles" tht includes a very little brick house. A narrative walking tour of the business and historic district is available at the old 1828 Gardner House. The House once was a stagecoach inn, a tavern, a private school, a private residence, and now a museum and visitor center. Visit www.showmepalmyra.com on the web for more travel information. Situated near the Mississippi River Road travelers have a variety of additional adventures.

Wind instruments > Trombone and Piano
Camille Saint-Saëns
Cavatine for Trombone and Piano op. 144

Camille Saint-Saëns was always trying to expand the rather sparse repertoire for chamber music for wind instruments, something that is not least also shown by his three late wind sonatas for oboe, clarinet and bassoon respectively (HN 964, 965, 966). The trombone also came into its own as a solo instrument with the Cavatine, composed in 1915. It displays here its lyrical, romantic side. To date the Cavatine, an effective recital piece, is a milestone in the solo literature for advanced trombone players. Our Urtext edition is the first to take into account also the autograph in Paris.

Cloud security and security in the cloud sound like they could be different ways of saying the same thing, but they are two separate forms of security.
The former refers the safety of the cloud itself for running applications, storing data and processing transactions. This is a concern of more companies as they try to leverage the low-cost advantages of cloud security solutions without compromising corporate or customer information.
Security in the cloud, on the other hand, refers to using the cloud to provide security solutions for an enterprise. Like sales (e.g., Salesforce.com) and other applications operating in the cloud, security in the cloud benefits from one installation for several users rather than the need to install the application on every end device.
Another advantage of security in the cloud is that it meets the hackers at their level. Hackers have changed the dynamics of their attacks. They are using the following to their advantage:
And the types and amounts of attacks are growing exponentially. There have been more malware attacks in the last 18 to 24 months than in the last 18 years.
In light of the variety and volume of attacks, IT is facing the daunting task of attempting to secure the growing number of endpoint devices that legitimate users.
Cloud-delivered security can secure, encrypt and archive email. The cloud layer can also filter internet access to prevent network users from downloading unapproved content.
Rather than attempting to protect each device, the better strategy is to operate the enterprise's security at the cloud layer. This method meets the attacks on their level, rather than downloading the malware to a company's network and trying to eradicate it there – a strategy that invites disaster.
Consider security in the cloud as the third and most evolved generation of security. The first generation was "security in a box," (i.e., a security program loaded onto each device). The second generation was security devices on the network; while still better than the first generation of protection, such a solution still may not stop malware until it's already done some significant damage.
Security in the cloud provides protection anytime, anywhere, with more power and flexibility but takes the heavy lifting away from the user.
Among the advantages of security in the cloud is the ability to:
Cloud security solutions have been proven to work, with companies using this method reporting significant decreases in malware incidents, website compromises, data loss and data exposure, security related downtime, and audit deficiencies, according to a May 2010 study by the Aberdeen Group.
Turning to security in the cloud should be the first line of defense of an integrated security strategy. Implementing firewalls, strong passwords, built-in device security offered by manufacturers and staff education (e.g., protection of passwords and of devices themselves) are also essential elements of "defense in depth." Taking such a comprehensive approach helps ensure the security of the enterprise's network. See the link for more information about security in the cloud.

I had a great day at the 28th Annual Quicksilver Trail Races this past Saturday in the hilly and scenic trails of Almaden Quicksilver County Park and Sierra Azul Open Space Preserve, located in the Santa Cruz Mountains south of San Jose. This was my first attempt at the 50 mile distance so coming into this race, I did not know whether the extremely high course record benchmark set by Chikara Omine in 2009 (6:15:41) would be feasible. As the run progressed and I remained under his record pace, I gained more confidence in the potential of lowering the esteemed record. In the end, I was extremely happy to lower the record by 14 minutes to 6:01:45! A special thanks goes to Joel Lanz for his fantastic job pacing me from 50k to the finish, providing encouragement at just the right times, and taking some great photos (utilized in this note).

The event starts 6 am which is a bit early, but becomes favorable later in the day when the exposed sections become warm. The weather was great with clear skies and relatively mild morning temperatures thanks to stiff breezes. Those same winds helped to keep temperatures down later in the morning and provided excellent clarity with spectacular views of the Santa Clara Valley, Diablo Range, Santa Cruz Mountains, and points beyond. After a few minutes, there is steep climb for a mile followed by a steep descent back to near the starting area where a left turn is taken onto the single track of the New Almaden Trail. The 6 miles of single track is my favorite stretch of trail on the course and traverses through oak woodland canyons and wildflower meadows. After the New Almaden Trail, the remainder of the course is virtually all fire road (except for the Yellow Kid Trail), but equally scenic with spring wildlfowers in full bloom and spectacular views of the Santa Cruz Mountains and Santa Clara Valley. The 8 miles of running in Sierra Azul Open Space Preserve on the 50 mile course are particularly pleasant with a shady forest canopy and delightful vistas. While the 8,530 feet of cumulative elevation gain in the 50 mile means that the course is inevitably hilly, there are several miles of relatively gradual fireroad allowing for a nice rhythm.
The plan was to go out feeling as comfortable as possible for the first 50k and see what I had left for the balance of the 50 miles. I knew that the most difficult part of the entire course was between mile 32 and 35.5 with several steep climbs up to the English Camp aid station. I wound up running the first 50k a bit faster than I had planned, coming in about 3:31, only a minute shy of my 3:30:10 performance in the 50k last year. However, I felt relatively comfortable and not overextended. At the 50k point, I met pacer Joel Lanz and we set off to attack the crux portion of the course. I faired well on this section, but the arduous climbs took a lot out of my legs. After English Camp, any substantial incline became difficult as my hamstrings were twingy. The good news is that cramping was kept at bay with copious hydration and electrolyte nutrition, in turn allowing me to run the downhills and flatter sections reasonably well to maintain a nice overall pace. I had never visited the stretch of the course from English Camp through Sierra Azul Open Space Preserve so I was eagerly anticipating the turnaround aid station. When it finally appeared around the corner I felt a sense of relief knowing most of the return trip to Mockingbird start/finish area would be downhill. I got a second wind at this point and finished the last 8.5 miles nicely. There were great performances all around: Bree Lambert won the women's 50 mile in 8:13:07, Gary Gellin took second in the 50 mile in 6:29:41, Chriz Calzetta won the 50k in 3:54:21, and Adona Ramos won the women's 50k in 4:56:26. Congratulations to all participants!
First year race director Pierre Couteau did a phenomenal job organizing this event and all the volunteers were fantastic. As usual, the post-race BBQ was spectacular with an amazing spread of delicious food that extended well beyond the normal BBQ fare of hot dogs and hamburgers, including ice cream, sushi, pies, cheesecake, brownies, cookies, etc.! It was great to hang out with friends new and old after the event. Thanks to Quicksilver Running Club and everybody involved with this event for putting on such a great trail race!

Scorpion Red Power evokes the passion, performance and heat of competition drawn from over 20 years of motorsport tuning and racing success. It embodies Scorpions drive for continuous engineering superiority, product and performance refinement, and above all sheer riding and driving enjoyment. Red Power also gives you the comfort factor that the system you have specified has been hand crafted by a Scorpion automotive engineer in the UK - not mass produced in the far east like many of todays most expensive brands. Scorpions hand built systems not only give you real exclusivity, but added value too. We don't just charge what we feel the market will stand for a premium grade exhaust; when you upgrade to Scorpion you are paying for quality R&D, the finest hand selected materials, extensive testing and for the skill of an automotive engineer. You really are getting more bang for your buck.
Scorpion have been quietly winning motorsport championships for over 20 years, consistently beating teams which are very publicly supported by rival exhaust manufacturers who construct entire marketing campaigns around their racing involvement.
Those who follow motorsport may have seen our support team in attendance at a huge range of two and four wheel series - without even knowing it. Often in sponsors team attire, Scorpion factory technicians are focussed purely on the racing and our involvement has always been strictly for development - not promotional purposes.
The same discretion has been applied supplying OE systems to some of the worlds biggest supercar manufacturers who have chosen Scorpion exhausts to put their name to.
As Scorpion moves into a new era the intention is to adopt a higher profile with our motorsport program, especially production based series which give us the most relevant development environment to allow true technology transfer from track to road. In particular we intend to build on successes in the BTCC, Porsche Cup, VW Racing Cup, World Endurance, Time Attack and Superbike; plus off road sport including Rally, MX and Supermoto.
Want to extract a little more power from your car? A half system is the perfect compromise, leaving the factory catalysts (where fitted) in place and bolting directly to the OEM system. Most of our half-systems delete the centre cat or silencer, for improved gasflow and sound, but leave the car fully road legal and MOT ready.
A catalyst is a key component in emission control. It is also the most restrictive component of an exhaust. Our Sports Catalysts increase the gas flow while maintaining filtration rates. Our decats simply replace the catalyst altogether for the ultimate flow rate.
High flow, light weight tubular manifolds using technology derived from our success partnered with top flight BTCC teams.
The perfect first mod for any vehicle, or those looking to keep on the right side of a new car warranty. Our extensive range of hand-fabricated back boxes are precision engineered here in the UK to offer a perfect fit onto your OEM exhaust, as well as most quality aftermarket systems.
The full sports system is the ultimate upgrade. The entire exhaust system is replaced (where possible) with a purpose developed system, designed with one thing in mind - PERFORMANCE.
Turbo charged engines need to be able to breathe; to assist this a range of turbo down pipes have been developed to suit high powered turbo applications. To enable an increase in performance we match pipe diameters for the peak performance gains.
