man, I love how that G is looking. so clean. nice set up with the wheels.
I also want to post a new thread because I need advice on my set up but i hate you have to post a minimum of 20 post to post a thread. -_-
Nice looking car man, looks like it needs a pull in the rear though. What size tire are you running on the 10.5?
Whoa...NIIIIICE...lovin the stance and the retro(favorite part)...
tC was nice too...I wanted the 526s but ended up with 527s because they said at first they werent coming out in x10 for 4 lug...
what rims where you running on the TC? and amazing looking G35
XXR 526 in chromium black.
Picked up this new "used" NRG polished strut bar the other day:
Along with a discontinued Fujita polished intake off of ebay that is super rare for the early 03 G35 sedan like mine for a steal:
And I also updated my build with an engine bay progression too.

The tc looked really good on the 526's. I feel like those are hard to pull off.
The g35 is coming along nicely, any plans to paint or replace the plastic trim around the bottom of the car? I think that would help it look less stock.
I agree with you on that man about the 526s.
Got a kit ordered already! It'll take care of the stock black body.
daaaamn i love everything bout this car,im still stuck with my corolla for four more years,i soo want a big body sedan very nice platform youv chosen
id say remove as much plastic from that bay as possible to see the VQ under it
Already got started on that!
i like how just a few bling bling items totally changed the engine bay! very nice!
This looks really good mean. Simple and clean is always in my book. Plus I have a soft spot for G sedans because theyre less common!
OMG I love your g. I want to pick one up myself i just dont know if I want the coupe or sedan.

House Republicans Refuse To Vote On Resolution Honoring The Seals Who Killed Bin Laden
The measure already passed the Senate by a 97-0 vote and wouldn't take much time to pass on the House floor either:
House Republicans say they have no plans to follow the Senate in passing a resolution honoring the military mission that killed Osama bin Laden.
The decision by GOP leaders follows new rules they enacted in January scrapping the tradition of congratulatory measures, which they complained clogged up the House floor.
The Senate on Tuesday passed a resolution, 97-0, commending "the men and women of the United States Armed Forces and the United States intelligence community for the tremendous commitment, perseverance, professionalism and sacrifice they displayed in bringing Osama bin Laden to justice." The measure commended President Obama and reaffirmed the Senate's commitment "to disrupting, dismantling and defeating al Qaeda." It also recognized former President George W. Bush's efforts after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.
The lack of House action drew criticism from some Democrats, who said an exception to the new rules was more than warranted for the killing of America's No. 1 enemy.
Republicans had no problems a couple of years ago pushing a resolution to recognize "the importance of Christmas and the Christian faith", shouldn't the brave men and women who were in harms way deserve the same amount of attention? I guess not, especially since John Boehner considers every lost soldier a "small price to pay". Absolutely disgusting.

Sindelfingen/Karlsruhe, June 5, 2013. Since 2001, the best Mechanical Engineering students who focus on refrigeration, air-conditioning, and environmental technology at Hochschule Karlsruhe have been receiving the Valerius Füner Prize. The ceremony was held at BITZER Kühlmaschinenbau GmbH in Rottenburg last Friday.
The primary sponsor of the prize is The Schaufler Foundation, which was established in 2005 by Senator h. c. Peter Schaufler, Head of the BITZER Group. Ingrid Bossert-Spiegelhalder, Chairwoman of The Schaufler Foundation Management Board, and Professor Michael Arnemann from Hochschule Karlsruhe presented the prize to Stefan Eisenhauer and Benjamin Martin Eltges, both of whom completed their bachelor degree course with an exceptional grade: 1.4. Stefan Eisenhauer received his diploma in December 2012 for his work in evaluating the energy efficiency of refrigeration systems. Before that, Benjamin Martin Eltges was presented with a bachelor's degree for his examination of a vapor generator concept. They both started their degree course at Hochschule Karlsruhe in 2008 and have already gained practical experience abroad. Rainer Große-Kracht, BITZER Chief Technology Officer, couldn't be happier with the excellent grades of the two award winners: "The refrigeration, air-conditioning, and environmental industry requires young, dedicated staff interested in high-tech fields, which is why we are happy to support students who perform well." The Schaufler Foundation therefore also set up an endowed chair at Universität Dresden for refrigeration, cryogenic, and compressor technology in order to promote the education of young people. Students can also get to know BITZER's activities at its national and international locations with internships, research projects, and dissertations.
BITZER takes 15th place among the most economically powerful medium-sized companies.
BITZER Kühlmaschinenbau GmbH is one of Germany's top 100 most economically powerful medium-sized companies: the specialist in refrigeration compressors took 15th place in a comprehensive study carried out by German magazine WirschaftsWoche
in collaboration with Professor Bernd Venohr, management consultant and economics professor in Munich.
The independent study analyzed information on 1,500 medium-sized companies which in their specific industries play a key role in the global market and achieve an annual turnover between 50 million and one billion euros.
The ranking is based on the Birch index, which multiplies growth in turnover over the past ten years by the corresponding percentage growth, thus compensating for the rapid growth usually associated with younger companies and the much higher growth rates of long-standing companies.

• Shirt sponsorship for youth teams
• Career and information day
• A range of sports activities for company employees
Sindelfingen/Rottenburg, May 8, 2013. The BITZER Group is sponsoring the sports organization Turn- und Sportverein Ergenzingen. A four-year agreement has been signed.
The specialist in refrigeration compressors and air conditioning systems not only offers talented young people first-class career development opportunities but also promotes volunteer work with young people in sports. "TuS Ergenzingen does exceptional work with young people across all departments. We're delighted to be able to support their dedication, as the organization assumes a key social responsibility in the region," explains Chief Production Officer Christian Wehrle.
Essential elements of the collaboration include supporting the young people at TuS Ergenzingen, purchasing shirts for the youth teams and acting as the primary sponsor for the U19-Junioren football tournament on Pentecost, in which teams such as Feyenoord Rotterdam, Red Bull Salzburg, SC Freiburg and the title holder, 1. FSV Mainz 05, will be participating this year.
In addition to offering financial support, BITZER will also be collaborating with the organization on a business level. The manufacturer of air conditioning systems will be offering a career and information day for young people in order to help them prepare for future employment – and, in particular, ignite an interest in technology and help them choose a career. BITZER employees also benefit from the collaboration, as they can take advantage of regularly offered sports activities in TuS Ergenzingen's various departments.
The Schkeuditz city government will use the donation to create new preschool spaces (f.l.) Lothar Dornbusch (mayor of Schkeuditz), Jörg Enke (senior mayor of Schkeuditz), Christiane Schaufler-Münch and Senator h. c. Peter Schaufler (CEO of BITZER SE)
• The youth of today are the employees of tomorrow
• The company takes responsibility for social issues
• Creative ideas require financial leeway
Sindelfingen/Rottenburg/Schkeuditz, April 16, 2013. The BITZER Group has donated a total of €150,000 to the providers of social and non-profit organizations to promote work with children and young people.
"Children are our future – and the youth of today are the trainees and employees of tomorrow," says Senator h. c. Peter Schaufler, explaining the Group's commitment to young people. That's why the BITZER Group supports public organizations and social projects that promote creativity and personality development. The providers of various institutes near the two production facilities – Rottenburg (Ergenzingen and Hailfingen factories) and Schkeuditz – were delighted to receive financial support amounting to €150,000 for their work. "As an internationally active and regionally headquartered company, we see it as our social responsibility to promote work with children and young people," emphasizes Peter Schaufler, CEO and owner of BITZER SE and founder of The Schaufler Foundation, which operates the SCHAUWERK art museum in Sindelfingen. "We would like to support sustainable ideas and offer creativity the necessary financial leeway." The donations made to organizations and social causes in the region also underline the company's unambiguous statement about production in Germany. Representatives of the BITZER Group Management Board symbolically handed over the donation checks to the responsible employees on location and used the opportunity to learn more about the organizations' latest projects. Lebenshilfe Tübingen and VK Förderung von Menschen mit Behinderung are investing the money in work with children and young people, while the city of Rottenburg is using the contribution for preschool playground equipment and organization work. The Schkeuditz city government will use the donation to create new preschool spaces, and Gesamtförderverein der Sindelfinger KiTas and Deutsche Kinderschutzbund Böblingen can continue their important work thanks to the financial support.

• Construction of new buidlings to house production, the warehouse and dispatch
• More space for training apprentices
• Successful conversion of production to NEW ECOLINE
Sindelfingen/Schkeuditz, 10/04/2013. With the expansion of the Schkeuditz facilities, the BITZER Group is underlining its ties to production in Germany.
In close proximity to the main factory, buildings are being erected to house production, the warehouse and dispatch on a 16,000 m2 plot of land, for which BITZER signed the purchase agreement at the end of February 2013. In addition to social spaces and offices, the company is creating a new training workshop on the top floors. The existing capacities can no longer accommodate demand – in the future, three instructors will be able to train up to 32 apprentices.
Alongside construction of the new buildings, the main factory in Schkeuditz is being renovated to expand production as well as office and canteen space. Estimated at €30 million, construction should be completed by the end of 2016. 'This investment will allow us to create a basis on which to achieve further growth in Schkeuditz. This is also an important sign for our employees,' explains Factory Manager Frank Fuhlbrück.
In 1991, BITZER took over production of refrigeration compressors from Maschinen- und Apparatebau (MAB) Schkeuditz with its then 180 employees. The site now employs 700 people. As a center of expertise for reciprocating compressors, the location plays a key role in the full conversion of production to the NEW ECOLINE series, which was carried out on 1 April 2013. The compressors are now more versatile and, except for R134a, available for many more refrigerants. They boast higher energy efficiency and increased cooling capacity and every ECOLINE is compatible with its predecessor and can be installed in existing systems.
Combined with the best airspeed output on the market, the high refrigeration and heating power of the Lumikko 400GS trailer solution (on the left) ensures an even temperature throughout the space.
The Lumikko 300DS for transportation requiring high refrigeration power (on the right) is designed for the operation of trailers and semitrailers as well as for combined transport.
Sindelfingen/Saint Petersburg/Helsinki, March 13, 2013. BITZER, the specialist in refrigeration compressors, would like to announce that Finnish BITZER subsidiary, Lumikko Technologies Oy, signed a service and distribution contract with R-Service Ltd. in Saint Petersburg on February 28, 2013.
"This step has optimally positioned Lumikko in the Russian market as a supplier of refrigeration systems for the carrying trade," says Jouni Saarnia, Lumikko Director of Purchasing and Production. In the future, R-Service will be assuming responsibility for sales, service and maintenance when it comes to Lumikko's customised, turnkey refrigeration systems. The system supplier is training R-Service employees, so that they can provide advice and answer any and all technical questions. R-Service's cutting-edge facilities conveniently situated near the motorway to Moscow in particular represent a considerable benefit. "Thanks to the exceptional transport link, our service team can get to the customer's location in no time at all should any questions arise – and provide reliable expert advice," explains R-Service Director General Anton Petushko. The company also has more than 15 years of expertise in truck and trailer cooling, as demonstrated by their ability to handle Lumikko systems, which have been reliably operating in Saint Petersburg for several years.
Helmut Meyer, Director of the Transport Sales division at BITZER, is confident that the demand for refrigeration technology will continue to increase in the rapidly growing Russian market – and thus the demand for Lumikko's turnkey solutions: "The Russian market is developing at a fast pace and we're sure to see considerable growth there in the years to come. Whether on the go or stationary, quality and freshness are indispensable throughout the cooling chain. For instance, refrigerated storage of food while it's transported from the producer to the consumer is of growing importance."
Stephan Neher (mayor of Rottenburg am Neckar) and Peter Schaufler (left)
Sindelfingen/Rottenburg, February 28, 2013. Over the last ten years, BITZER has invested €70 million in the Rottenburg location, which currently has 543 employees. The town of Rottenburg is now honouring the exceptional entrepreneurial achievements of Peter Schaufler, Senator h.c. and Chief Executive Officer of BITZER SE, by naming a street in the Ergenzingen-Ost industrial park after the long-standing head of the company.
The mayor of Rottenburg am Neckar, Stephan Neher, attended the inauguration ceremony for Peter-Schaufler-Strasse, which branches off from Mercedesstrasse and leads directly to the production hall of the specialist in refrigeration compressors. For BITZER, €15 million was money well spent over the past 12 months of construction: the factory has been expanded by 9,000 square meters of production and warehousing space, which now houses the replacement parts warehouse, dispatch, final assembly for BITZER screw compressors, the painting facilities, office and social spaces, and technical rooms.
The pinnacle of efficiency
With all the new space, BITZER has managed to increase its production capacities at the Rottenburg-Ergenzingen location and optimize processes: deliveries and dispatch have been separated and are now located at the beginning and end of the production chain. The frequency of deliveries has increased, the process has become more linear and faster, and waste resulting from longer routes has been reduced. The company uses the space that has been freed up to make room for the upcoming production of new types of compressor. Peter Schaufler explains: "Our primary focus during the planning phase was to maintain the level of BITZER quality our customers have come to expect and continue to fulfill their requirements in the future. For me, it was important that the BITZER Group continues to develop over the long term and reconciles economy, ecology and social responsibility, whilst ensuring that employee appreciation, efficient operations and eco-friendly production are not mutually exclusive."
Following successful completion of factory expansion, BITZER is already planning the next phase of construction: an international training center will be built in Peter-Schaufler-Strasse, costing around €5.5 million. Construction is set to begin in March 2014.
Maximum energy efficiency in new CSV series
Sindelfingen, February 15, 2013. Reciprocating, screw and scroll compressors: ISH trade fair visitors will find a wide range of products and services developed for the refrigeration, air conditioning and heat pump sector at the shared BITZER and Lodam stand.
BITZER, the specialist in refrigeration compressors, will be showcasing a compact, intelligent screw compressor from the CSV series at its trade fair stand. With an ESEER (ESEER: European seasonal energy efficiency ratio) value of over five, these all-rounders for heat pumps, building air conditioning and process cooling are setting new benchmarks in air-cooled liquid chillers with dry expansion. All the components are wired and tested at the factory and functional, and the frequency inverter is already integrated into the compressor, thus significantly reducing life cycle costs. The compact unit requires little space and fulfills the requirements of the EMC Directive for industrial and residential zones. Cooled by refrigerant, the electronics ensure maximum operations security and require minimum maintenance. Due to its high energy efficiency, the German specialist publication, Produktion, recently named the CSV series Product of the Week (issues 43 and 44, 2012).
The second compressor technology that trade fair stand visitors will want to see is the ORBIT 6 scroll compressor: with a delivery rate of between 20 and 38 m3/h (50 Hz), the five models of this scroll series boast high isentropic efficiency for a whole host of applications and a low sound level. ORBIT 6 compressors are therefore ideal for use particularly in air conditioning systems and heat pumps – and are the perfect complement to the larger scroll compressors of the ORBIT 8 series. Specially developed for use with R410A, the tried-and-tested ORBIT 8 series comprises six delivery rates ranging from 29 to 77 m3/h (50 Hz). With its ORBIT 8 series, BITZER is making a contribution to achieving an even higher level of efficacy and thus flexibly reacting to the energy efficiency requirements of the heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) sector. Another major advantage of the ORBIT 8 series is the operating sound level, which is up to 3 dB(A) lower than competitors' products. The extremely low oil circulation rate of less than one per cent contributes to improving the transfer of heat and increasing system efficiency and reliability.
BITZER will also be showcasing the entire NEW ECOLINE reciprocating compressor series. With a delivery rate of 4 to 221 m3/h, NEW ECOLINE compressors are used in normal- and low-temperature applications and heat pumps. BITZER will also be displaying a model from the NEW ECOLINE VARISPEED series, the speed of which can be infinitely adjusted thanks to an integrated frequency inverter, thus considerably reducing energy costs.
At the other half of the trade fair stand, Lodam will be presenting energy-saving control devices for air conditioning, heating and ventilation systems. Lodam heat pump controllers enable you to gain total control of hot water and heating for domestic comfort. They are energy and cost-efficient thanks to intelligent control provided by frequency inverters. Intelligent defrost scheduling saves energy and ensures low capacity waste. Also exhibited, the air handling unit controller by Lodam offers a vast number of innovative and energy-saving opportunities for demand-driven ventilation. The new heat pump and air handling unit controller range offers customers the opportunity to design their own menu and cabinet in line with their corporate identity. The main control functions of the user interface use fully tested, standard hardware and software components developed through years of experience to ensure reliable operations.
BITZER Chief Sales and Marketing Officer Michael Bauer congratulates Matthias Haubner (left), the winner of the e-bike.
Sindelfingen, February 14, 2013. BITZER, the specialist in refrigeration compressors, would like to announce the winner of its Rubik's Cube competition at the Chillventa trade fair in Nuremberg. Congratulations, Matthias Haubner!
In just one minute and 14 seconds, Haubner solved the mechanical game of patience, a BITZER Rubik's Cube, making him the fastest out of all the participants. Haubner was recently invited to the BITZER headquarters in Sindelfingen, where Chief Sales and Marketing Officer Michael Bauer personally presented the 16-year-old from Weissenburg, Bavaria, with the prize: a Corratec e-bike worth approximately €2,000. Haubner and his parents then had the opportunity to visit the international competence center for screw compressors in nearby Rottenburg, where he was able to gain insight into the factory's efficient production processes: "Everything here is so clean, tidy, and well organized – it's really impressive," he says, visibly impressed.
BITZER SE takes over Armaturenwerk Altenburg, Germany
Sindelfingen/Altenburg, 11 January 2013. BITZER SE, Sindelfingen, has taken over the long-established company Armaturenwerk Altenburg GmbH (AWA) based in Germany, with retroactive effect from 1 January 2013. The acquisition was approved by the Federal Cartel Office on 20 December 2012. Chief Procurement Officer Jürgen Kleiner explains, 'By taking over Europe's leading manufacturer of refrigerant fittings we have secured a supply to our manufacturing sites worldwide, and expanded our product portfolio. Our customers will from now on benefit from a complete range from a single supplier – all in the familiar BITZER quality.'
AWA, which was founded in 1879, produces and sells valves, sight glasses, solder adapters, flanges and fittings for refrigeration and air conditioning systems worldwide. The company generates a turnover of around €23 million with a total of 200 employees. Forty-five percent of its products are exported to the European Union, the USA, China, Brazil and Russia. 'The AWA, FAS and Hans Nobis brands which the company markets will be retained, all of which stand for exceptional quality and reliability,' comments Jürgen Kleiner.
New managing directors of the BITZER subsidiary will be long-standing AWA employees Diana Schubert and Günter Schuboth. Jürgen Kleiner continues, 'Both of them enjoy our complete trust and will provide continuity both within the company and to the outside world.' The previous owner, Karl-Fritz Jordan (67), is leaving the company for personal reasons. Jordan made the business successful within just a decade, multiplying its turnover from three million (2002) to the current level of 23 million euros. Jordan says that selling AWA to BITZER secures a promising future for the Altenburg-based company. BITZER plans to expand and develop the location very soon. A neighboring property has already been purchased from the local council. 'We are extending the production facilities and planning a logistics center which will ensure fast, flexible delivery,' says Jürgen Kleiner.

Darth and Jammer collaborated to oust D4E. Who was innocent. Murderer Darth clinches the game and the ultimate prize...unlimited Flip Saunders media bites! Enjoy Darth Tater. I'm sure noone will trust you again.
What? No eulogy for me? I forgot who the other killer was--detteam? Somebody owned up to it in Tigers chat today.
I lost the instinct vs. "evidence" battle with Darth very early on. Congrats Mr. Tater, you were never caught!
Unfortunately there is no joy in "victory" for me. I made my best effort to make the game entertaining for everyone. Unfortunately, a couple of friendships were damaged if not destroyed in the process. I appreciate those of you who were able to keep my secret (Linwood, Dlev, Kimberly..any others that I'm not aware of) when you found out the truth after someone (I won't name the person) decided to spill the beans. Personally, I'm not sure we should even play this again next offseason. Through no fault of Slippy's (who did a great job), the cost was perhaps higher than any benefits the forum received. Live and learn. I hope most people realize I was only playing a role. I sincerely apologize to anyone who was hurt in the process.
Congratulations to Darth for playing me like a fiddle! Congratulations to me for being the last innocent man standing and the worst detective on the planet. By the way, who was the 2nd killer?? I'm just dying to know! A special thanks to Slippy for not only organizing the games, but also for your entertaining euolgies and a little every now and then. It must have been very hard for you to sit back as we helplessly grasped at straws and hung innocent forum members.
Unlimited Flip media bites! Oh Darth, I'm still kinda mad atcha but not mad enough to wish this on you. After all that deceptive skill par excellence. Really Slippy it's an outrage! Give the man his prize:winner_first_h4h: for cryin' out loud.
Detteam was the other killer. I think he killed twice. TheeTFD and Motown Pride, but I'm not sure about that. Also....drum roll...the basketball cluewords or murder posts were crossover and salary. And of course Wallace was the Pistons clueword. Both detteam and Darth used crossover very ingeniously and creatively. Difficult to find. Proffessor you might want to run an advanced search on crossover for the past month. I think you'd appreciate with what skill the murderers wielded their weapons. My apologies to anyone who hanged as a result of my clueword mistakes along the way. I think I thought it was defensive and rebound, team and ring, roster and starter and god know what other combinations. The cluewords really were a nightmare. I found crossover finally, partly because of the inside knowledge that I could not use in all fairness. I never did find salary, or even have it on the spreadsheet. It just didn't ring a bell as a basketball word to me. My big AHA moment was finding crossover and every murder post on my spreadsheet. LOL. I was murdered shortly thereafter. But I died with a smile and the word crossover on my lips.
Oh man, Terry Glenn's crossover move!!! Wow, that's horrible. That doesn't even make sense... and you used the same reference TWICE in the same thread! A great public speaker once said: I just thought you were going all Bill Walton on me Darth, turns out you were going all murderer! Oh man, Detteam's is a lame football one too!
Nice job Kim! I was far to lazy to do this kind of research and work. I just figured it was Darth because... well, you know, it's Darth! You hung me for the words defense and rebounds in one of my many Ben Wallace tirades. But I'm not bitter. I had a good time hangin with Det up in Heaven and laughing at the game.
You know when I first read Darth's fantasy football post I read that crossover reference, I thought wait a second I've never heard a crossover being a football move. LOL. But it just didn't register as other than a misused word (in my editor brain), even though I was looking for bball words. On my spreadsheet I only had crossover where it was used properly as a basketball word. I didn't have detteam's creative use either. Hell, detteam's isn't even proper English. I guess it's true that you see what you are looking for. They did a good job.
I tried to get people on the darth bandwagon a couple of times but it didnt work. So well done, just like Tim Hardaway, you had a killer crossover! Breakin ankles and necks everywhere...
I'll get with roscoe to add murder champ (or something like it) to his name. True to Darth's form, he encouraged a lot of interaction. He did have the game's best interest in mind and not only his survival. Yeah, as the game progressed, it became apparent that people never wrapped their brains that the words were related to basketball and not its usage. Looking backwards, CROSSOVER sticks out. Since the game is new to everyone, its understandable. However, it did stick out in people's brains and that's when you should have put the magnifying glass on that poster. It also seemed like people seemed to treat every murder individually and not as a series of murders. It was interesting to watch darth go from suspect #1 to not even getting a vote next round. Perhaps the most interesting thing about the game from a birds-eye view was the aspect of leadership. Darth took initiative and a lot of it was his cunning but it looked like part of it was people's willingness to follow. On the flip side, Darth was never so close to dying as when Roscoe seemed to rally the mob. And the most interesting thing was that once Roscoe was gone, the anti-Darth movement was ineffectual. the evidence against darth only got stronger. Well, it was fun while the fun lasted.
Honestly, Darth is the most fun person to have on trial each week. At one point, he had enough of his "pals" voting against me as the field narrowed that I had to be careful about continuing to accuse him because I didn't want to die. That was the week I picked detteam, because no one would vote, and I was sure that Darth was counting on me voting for him, so he could get everyone to vote for me. By voting for detteam, I got everyone else going sideways. Even AKMW. I didn't even know detteam was the killer. That was dumb instinctual luck. But honestly, no one cries and moans better than Darth when you give him a hard time. And I was sure he was one of the killers, because he was the most involved player in the game who was doing zero research.
i disagree he did a lot of research. if you said just enough to be suspicious, he'd go after you. lol

ROCK SPRINGS — Sunny skies and a large crowd turned out for the harness horse racing at the Meigs County Fair Thursday afternoon, where driver Charlie Schoonover was the big winner of the day on the Southern Valley Colt Circuit race card.
This year for the first time in decades, perhaps over 50 years, pari-mutuel wagering on the horse races returned to make it more exciting for many in attendance.
Although there were no "high stakes" at risk, the move proved to be popular, boosting the crowd by perhaps 150 or so attendees. Long lines were backed up at the betting window, and a good ole wager among friends brought joy, laughs and some competitiveness to those wishing to pick their favorite horse. Whether or not the wager was official, all in attendance were treated to a good time.
Harness horse racing has long been a perennial favorite for Meigs County fairgoers. This year 's races, for years held on Saturdays, were moved to Thursday afternoon with an initial post time at noon. The program, sponsored again by the Quality Print Shop in Middleport, listed classes for 10 races for pacers and trotters with two of those classes being designated as "free for all."
"The Ro-o-ock" as circuit announcer Chris Patterson calls the beautiful hairpin Rocksprings oval, was well prepped in an effort to produce high-quality racing. The fans were not disappointed as races five, eight and nine saw close action throughout the pack right down to the wire.
Fans lined the fencing adjacent to the track and filled the major portion of two-thirds of the historic grandstand at the fairgrounds.
Adding the local professional flavor to the event were outrider Megan Cleland, Horse Princess Halley Sigman and Little Miss Meigs County 2012 Lorena Kennedy, who were present in most of the victory lane photos.
Charlie Schoonover won three events on the day, winning three races in the sulky of three different horses. Schoonover and Ryan Holton are among the top drivers in the state, and are always hot commodities at the Meigs County fair.
Some disappointment was expressed in the quantity of the entries as several races featured only two horses due to last-minute scratches. The quality of the events did not let down the crowd who was very vocal down the trek from race one to the final race number ten. "Cheering for your favorite horse" added to the atmosphere of the racing and asserted that those in attendance had a wonderful time.
Representatives from the Southern Valley Colt Circuit promised larger fields in future years as harness racers continue to campaign legislatures for a boost to racing venues statewide, including the popular county fair circuits. The Meigs County Fair Board was praised by the SVCC for posting one of the better county fair purses on the schedule.
Race Five, won by Schoonover and Whatchamadoogie, was an exciting battle that saw lead changes right down to the final turn among three horses all within a length of one another at the finish. Bill Long, Jr. and Airie Feelin overcame a dominant early lead by Ty VanRhoden and I Shall Fly, passing the early leader on the final stretch to post the win.
Other winners were Bryan Weaver and Dance With Molly, Schoonover in the sulky of Pat's Flash, Holton and Bellastwilghtstar; Ed Rider and Blue Rock Mo, 13-year old Hallie Nesselroad and Royal Sugar, and Schoonover with Soprospurus. The last two races were won by Rose Run Newsman with driver Michael Myers, while Friskie By Design found victory lane for John Ryan Melsheimer.
Eric Nesselroad was named Trainer of the Day, while the Anderson-McDaniel Funeral Home fast time was posted by Bill Long, Jr. at 2:06:01.
Sponsors for the event included Quality Print Shop, Home National Bank, Farmers Bank, Southern Local Schools, The Daily Sentinel, The Appliance Man, Holzer Clinic of Meigs County, McDonald's of Pomeroy, Anderson-McDaniel Funeral Homes, Auto Options in Mason, WV, the Lions Club of Pomeroy, Shade River Ag Service, General Tire, Aerie 2171 of the Fraternal Order of Eagles, Brooks Sayre Stables, Swatzel Stables, The Spencer Family, Meigs County Fair Board, and The Daily Sentinel.
The popular Don Spencer was the local favorite. The Pomeroy native placed third in Race One with Patty Lavec. Dance with Molly and Bryan Weaver was the winner with Inejia and Ryan Holton second.

Coloring your hair light blonde was totally hot at the beginning of this year, especially when the color hit the boundries of white. We saw color blocking becoming a big trend this summer and this fall/winter you can't go anywhere without seeing people wearing prints and prints on prints. But ofcourse, there are always people who are ahead of their time. One of those people is a beautiful Italian stylist. She wears prints, contrasting colors and her white blonde hair for years now. You often see her walking the street in a print combination with an elegant jacket on it and the most beautiful sandals on her feet. Meet Parisian Italian Elisa Nalin! Continue reading »

Where are the gardening shows? There are more and gardeners, out there everyday, and no shows that give you any know hows, ideas, tips, etc. I always thought HGTV was Home & Garden, but where are the gardening shows. When I first started watching HGTV it was because of the gardening shows, but they have all since disappeared. We need these back, or some new ones, that show you how, whats new etc. for ordinary people, not professionals. I think this would bring back a lot of new and previous veiwers. Now it seems to be be the House Network | |||
Welcome to the forum! You've likely opened a can of worms with this topic. It's been a recurring one for years now since HGTV began trying to please a different demographic. Somehow they must think that their viewers are not gardeners. Not sure how they got that idea when we've all been complaining. I no longer watch HGTV hardly at all altho used to be a devoted fan and watched it often when they had gardening shows and good decorating shows. We now have to get our gardening info online on forums and blogs. Lucky "I have always had an aversion to the concepts of in style and out of style." ~Rose Tarlow Inspirational pics: http://inspiration4u.shutterfly.com/ | ||||
So true, so true. | ||||
Ditto all of the above comments ve | ||||
Ditto the others! And I liked a lot of their craft shows back in the day! I haven't watched hgtv in years...since they quit having new Gardening By the Yard shows on. Anyone seen Paul James any place lately? "The soil is the source of life, creativity, culture and real independence." David Ben-Gurion | ||||
Paul James is on our Satellite network Tuesdays at 5:30 am. I record him & watch him at my leisure. They are repeats, but that's ok. | ||||
Darn, I think I've seen all of his shows at least twice...some more than that. "The soil is the source of life, creativity, culture and real independence." David Ben-Gurion | ||||
PBS, your Public Broadcasting Systems, has several gardening shows on, although those with cable may have to pay even more to receive their Create channel. That comes to me free over the air. The sign of a good gardener is not a green thumb, it is brown knees. | ||||
Yes Kimm, I discovered the "CREATE" Channel by accident this year while channel surfing!! (that's the only surfing I'm really, really good at! ) Once in a while I actually catch some interesting shows! It's 'Ch. 133' here in Northern, NJ. (If I reached that channel I was really bored!) I have even watched 'Painting' shows and in a moment of extreme boredom, a Sewing show. (can't sew at all, except a button) Hey, it beats house cleaning, right?!! SPRING HAS F I N A L L Y SPRUNG!!!!! | ||||
Create is also available here on the West Coast. | ||||
Down here in the boonies we are lucky to just have dish/direct available! I'll surf our channels but I don't think "create" is on any of them...we don't have an expensive package. We do have public channel, but they don't have a lot on the one down here...either! "The soil is the source of life, creativity, culture and real independence." David Ben-Gurion | ||||
i can't seem to find it. is Create its own channel? or is it show that appear on other PBS channels? | ||||
I think it is its own channel. I went to their website and entered my information and my cable company doesn't carry it. If you have antenna you might have it in your area. It's part of PBS. Here is a link to their site if you are interested. http://www.createtv.com/This message has been edited. Last edited by: still tryin, | ||||
thanks for the link, still tryin. it seems comcast does not carry this channel on any of its pbs stations. maybe i'll call comcast tomorrow to inquire about it. | ||||
Very often the cable and satellite companies offer the PBS Create channel in the "enhanced" viewing package, so if you want to watch something other than the inane, mindnumbing, drivel most channels program and must have cable or satellite you must pay extra for it. My TV viewing costs nothing except repairs, periodically, to the antenna or signal booster. The sign of a good gardener is not a green thumb, it is brown knees. | ||||
At our place up in Kansas as we're not there full time & we're already paying for Satelite Dish Network here in Texas, we chose to go the converter box route. We get the Create channel there & really enjoy it. | ||||
What is the enhanced viewing package? I checked all available channels for cable and satellite and the channel isn't available. I also checked with the FCC and the channel isn't available over the air here. | ||||
If anyone wants to check with the FCC to see which channels are available over the air, aka, local broadcast/PBS channels, I have a link for the FCC where you can check. http://transition.fcc.gov/mb/engineering/maps/ | ||||
thanks, still tryin, for the FCC link. this board comes up with great answers.. or directions to point us for further searching. | ||||

Executive Excess 2012: The CEO Hands in Uncle Sam's Pocket
Nationwide, budget cuts have axed 627,000 public service jobs just since June 2009. Schools, health clinics, fire stations, parks, and recreation facilities—virtually no public service has gone unsqueezed. Tax dollars haven't seemed this scarce in generations.
Yet tens of billions of these scarce tax dollars are getting diverted. These tax dollars are flowing from average Americans who depend on public services to the kingpins of America's private sector. They're subsidizing, directly and indirectly, the mega-million paychecks that go to the top executives at our nation's biggest banks and corporations.

By Chester HartmanThree decades ago, conservative ideologues at The Heritage Foundation produced a primer on the Reagan Revolution entitled Mandate for Leadership, which offered an overarching philosophy against the role of government and in favor of markets.
Today, IPS has taken on the same task for the Obama administration. Mandate for Change is aimed at strengthening the new administration at a time when the need for progressive policies — and appointing progressive people to lead such efforts—is most urgent.

By Robin Broad and John CavanaghRejecting the "flat worldism" of the globalists as well as the peaks and valleys of trade and aid policies over the years, Robin Broad and John Cavanagh guide us through the raging debate over the best route to development for the poorer nations of Africa, Asia, and Latin America.
This book takes readers on a journey through the rise and fall of the one-size-fits-all model of development that richer nations began imposing on poorer ones three decades ago. That model — called the "Washington Consensus" by its backers and "neoliberalism" or "market fundamentalism" by its critics — placed enormous power in markets to solve the problems of the poor.
The authors have stood at the epicenter of these debates from their perches in the United Nations, the U.S. government, academia, and civil society. They guide us back in time to understand why the Washington Consensus dominated for so long, and how it devastated workers, the environment, and the poor. At the same time, they chart the rise of an "alter-globalization" movement of those adversely affected by market fundamentalism. Today, this movement is putting alternatives into action across the globe, and what constitutes development is being redefined.

By Sarah Anderson, John Cavanagh, Thea LeeThis fully updated and expanded second edition of The Field Guide to the Global Economy presents the latest facts to help make sense of the rapidly changing international economy. Illustrated throughout with charts, graphs, and cartoons, the book documents new trends, including the foreign "outsourcing" of U.S. service jobs, as well as the increasing influence of mega-firms like Wal-Mart and labor union–free China on workers around the globe.
Published in conjunction with the Institute for Policy Studies, an independent research institute based in Washington, D.C., this accessible guide explains how global institutions such as the World Bank, International Monetary Fund, World Trade Organization, and North American Free Trade Agreement affect communities, workers, the poor, and the environment. The book dispels the widely disseminated propaganda about current globalization policies and provides an update on the burgeoning movement that is challenging them, from Bolivian water warriors to U.S. student anti-sweatshop activists.

Executive Excess 2011: The Massive CEO Rewards for Tax Dodging
Corporations don't dodge taxes. The people who run corporations do. And these people — America's CEOs — are reaping awesomely lavish rewards for the tax dodging they have their corporations do.
In fact, corporate tax dodging has gone so out of control that 25 major U.S. corporations last year paid their chief executives more than they paid Uncle Sam in federal income taxes.
This year's Institute for Policy Studies Executive Excess report, our 18th annual, explores the intersection between CEO pay and aggressive corporate tax dodging.
Read the report and take action.

In many countries around the world, there is growing momentum behind proposals to place a very small tax on transactions of stock, currency, derivatives, and other financial assets. Such financial speculation taxes are one of the few available options that could generate the enormous financial resources required to pay for the continuing costs of the global financial and economic crisis, including reducing the high rate of job loss, and to achieve key development, health, education and climate change objectives in developing countries. Even at very low rates, such taxes could also discourage the type of short-term financial speculation that has little social value but poses high risks to the economy.

Cheap hotels near The Seine in Paris, France
Ah, the Seine. Few cities are as synonymous with their river as Paris is with the gently curving waterway that divides it not between north and south, but between "Right Bank" and "Left Bank." Paris was founded on the Seine, as the city's first settlements were located on Ile de la Cité—one of the river's two major islands, along with Ile St-Louis.
Today, Parisians can cross from Right Bank to Left Bank on one of 37 bridges found within the city limits, the oldest of which is the Pont Neuf, at the tip of Ile de la Cité. River cruise boats, called "bateaux-mouches," are a popular attraction, and provide an interesting viewpoint from which to see the many sights of Paris that line the Seine.
The "quais"—the streets or walkways that run alongside the river—are popular places to go for a stroll. The string of book sellers, called the "bouquinistes," that line some quais provides a romantic vision of literary Paris.
Cheap hotels near the Seine: Since riverfront property comes at a premium, it's not all that easy to find a budget hotel right on the water. Go a couple blocks in, and your options will greatly increase.
The popular and affordable Hotel Henri IV will put you right on Ile de la Cité, while the rest of the options seen below are just a short walk to the river. If you really want that spot right on the Seine, though, the Hotel du Quai Voltaire saddles right up to the famous waterway, for prices that aren't too exorbitant.
