Published on 3 May 2014 by paradoxman316 As visionaries around the world gain an ever-widening audience, one thing is certain: the old-world paradigm of domination and competition is on it's last legs. Every day more people realize the unsustainability of the matrix of control. Oh, the main-stream media still has a long way to go, the courts still operate their injustice system, and the government officials still act as if they are authority figures. Nevertheless, cracks are appearing...

How many of you have had a dream of a place or situation that was so real that it sticks with you to this day? Places that you have clearly been to but don't seem to exist anywhere on the planet. Dreams of flying? Of creatures that are claimed to only exist in story books? Gnomes, Unicorns, Dragons, Fairies.

How many of you are simply waiting to be saved when in fact all that needs to be done is to change your perception from being...

It was crazy. There were bizarre creatures and I could run and jump and...

You're divine souls with the potential to do and be anything you desire, but your belief in limitation has made it difficult for many of you to break out of your shells and express the sacred love you are at your core; at your essence. It can be difficult to find and feel the love of your existence when you're surrounded by so much pain and...

We know how to proceed with our lives, yet not take them so seriously. We proceed from a higher octave of vibration. We see what is possible. In meditation, I am seeing us get up on shaky legs, vulnerable but alive and walking and in a new realm. As newborn chickens, just hatched, the imagery relates to Easter...

You are free, dearest seekers. However hard the striving mind will fight to convince you otherwise, liberation is and will always be a constant factor of your existence. Why, then, do so many of you seem to feel so unfree, you ask?

Embrace your freedom and the joy that comes with it, especially when the pain and fear of the physical...

To create the changes you want to see, it's essential that you start becoming examples of them in action. You're the conscious souls on the front lines of helping awaken humanity, and while it's easy to discuss and advocate ideas that are relevant to the new world you're building, actions forever speak louder than words. The things you say are important, but the things you do speak volumes to your true readiness or un-readiness to build the new world of your dreams. Talking about this new world...

Hi all, This is the dragon. When beings ascend, their goal is to be as benevolent as possible, generally. There are exceptions. However, normally, they feel the universe and its love and become aware of harm and how to avoid it. So most choices you make later in ascension are that which we can consider as benevolent as possible. Not just for the timeline you are leaving, but for as many versions of "you" as possible, where we are talking about the extended you, which means yourself, humanity,...

Three people, in anonymity, spoke about how enlisted soldiers who exchange sexual favors with their officers get special treatment at Fort Greely. The three anonymous witnesses said that there is no strict rule imposed upon officials and soldiers who were committing adultery inside the army. They also testified that the army prohibited them from divulging information about such sexual activities.
According to a unit phone list gotten by Bloomberg, the battalion at Fort Greely has approximately 16 women among its 195 members. And, the Defense Department reported a survey estimating 26,000 cases of forced sexual activities. This figure is a 35 per cent increase since the last conducted survey in 2011.
General Ray Odierno, the Army Chief of Staff, called on his men to condone such sexual proposals inside the Army. "The Army is failing in its effort to combat sexual assult and sexual harassment. It is time we take on the fight against sexual assault and sexual harassment."
The military is investigating at least three cases where army officials are allegedly guilty of assault, mistreatment of subordinates and inducing prostitution, Bloomberg reported.
The most controversial case was the case of Lieutenant Colonel Joseph Miley, the commander of the Alaska Army National Guard's 49th Missile Defense Battalion. Confirmation about the case was already released by spokesman for the Space and Missile Defense Command, Marco Morales, but he was mum about the specific details.
Lt. Col. Miley is the commander of battalion at Fort Greely. The commander, with his battalion, was tasked to defend the U.S. from missile attack.
In the course of his duty, Lt. Col Miley was reported to create a World War II themed pin up calendar designed with photos of his wife and photos of almost naked female soldiers.
The pin-up calendar was reportedly sold to acquire funds for the American Cancer Society's "Relay for Life" as reported by the Army Times newspaper in March. According to the report, other military units in the U.S. created and sold such themed pin-ups with photos of military wives and women soldiers to acquire funds for veterans.
In an internal meeting in January 4 which details were revealed through e-mail by the three anonymous witnesses, Lt. Col. Miley defended himself saying that adultery is not punishable under military law.
The e-mail alleged that Lt. Col. Miley said that "The modern military is an environment where sexual misconduct is commonplace. A soldier can be charged with adultery only if he or she violates a no-contact order" Lt. Col. Miley refused to comment when contacted about the issue."
The said e-mail was addressed to Lieutenant General Richard Formica, head of the Space and Missile Defense Command. The e-mail also put emphasis on the fact that Lt. Col. Miley's disturbing sexual activities made them fear for their wives and even their children in this toxic environment.
The e-mail also revealed that sexual complaints involved non-commissioned officer and enlisted soldiers.
Mr. Morales said that an informal investigation under Army regulations was already set but that the investigation has no deadline. Only when the investigation was completed that Formica and Brigadier General Leon Bridges, commander of the Alaska Army national Guard, will decide if Lt. Col. Miley will be sanctioned for his alleged sexual conducts.

The Merrion Dublin Has a New Penthouse
If your list of Dublin hotel room requirements includes things like duplex, roof terrace, and private cedar wood hot tub, the just refreshed Penthouse at The Merrion brings all of those things together. Sixteen years after it was first opened, the hotel has redone the two-floor space, which includes the above master bedroom. Between the furniture (desk chair, sofa), drapes, and colours, it strikes a rather feminine tone to us; more images of the rest of the suite below.

More Côte d'Azur Pool Time at Tiara Yaktsa and Miramar
We may have listed eight of our favorite Côte d'Azur hotel pools earlier this year, but not surprisingly there are many – many – more to choose from. Shortly after our little sample of where you can take a refreshing dip in the south of France, two additional pools joined the list of options with the April reopening of their respective, and renovated, hotels from a small brand we don't hear much about: Tiara Hotels.
Both are located in Théoule-sur-Mer, a village just west of glitzy Cannes, with above Tiara Yaktsa, a name that conjures up images of Thailand or Indonesia more than it does la douce France for us. The 21 rooms and suites also looks further afield for inspiration, with "Middle-Eastern Moucharaby flair" and a mix of creams and vibrant pinks and purples.

Another Day, Another Hyatt Hotel In New York: This Time in Herald Square
The rooftop lounge of the Hyatt Herald Square New York offers a memorable historical perspective of Manhattan, worth the price of admission - or your cocktail
Hot on the heels of the newly opened Park Hyatt New York, work is well under way on another Hyatt branded hotel, due to open this October--the Hyatt Herald Square New York .
The Hyatt Herald Square New York has moved into the former Holiday Inn on West 31st Street, a tall, slender, 20-story building completed in 2011. Other than changing the sign on the door, the reported $6 million renovation is concentrated on the interiors and upgrades to Hyatt Hotels corporate standards. The hot new look that we're seeing so far is credited to local firm VLDG, with Paul Vega leading the process. VLDG is no stranger to Hyatt, having also designed the Hyatt Union Square. Vega's concept for this new Hyatt draws inspiration from the surrounding fashion industry and Herald Square's publishing heritage. These are great subjects for hotel designs, especially when combined under one roof.
The interiors are looking good, featuring the warmth of natural woods, select implosions of color, and another great hotel wingback chair we haven't seen before and must add to our special photo gallery
Hyatt wants you to feel at home, and the Den really does have a comfortable vibe to it - not to mention a nicely stocked bar

Berlin's Hotel Zoo to Re-open This October After a 2 Year Redo
There's nothing like a little Hollywood style hype to draw some attention to the re-opening of a hotel. For two years, the Hotel Zoo in Berlin has been under serious wraps during its renovation and we don't have much more to go on than we did when it closed. Recent announcements about the hotel's big unveiling this October have got us curious, and clues about what the hotel may actually look like come from, none other than, Hollywood.

Inside the Maui Hideaway That is The Hotel Wailea
Maui Week continues! On Monday, we gave you a list of Must-Stay Hotels for Wailea in Maui. Today, we're heading up the mountains for a different side of Maui. Don't worry, it's not too far from the ocean. Mahalo!
Your dream vacation to Maui probably involves lounging on a beach and sipping on a Mai Tai. What your dream vacation probably doesn't involve is getting up early to wait in line to reserve a beach lounge chair. Or dealing with screaming kids by the pool. Or waiting for an elevator in a sopping wet bathing suit.
While the resorts along the beach in Wailea offer easy access to the ocean and beach activities, along with several different pools to try, they aren't exactly the most tranquil spots in town. Enter The Hotel Wailea, a Small Luxury Hotel of the World.
Located in the hillside, about a mile from the beach resorts, the Hotel Wailea features 72 suites spread across a 15-acre property. Each one-bedroom suite has generous bedrooms, and living areas with sectional couches, along with outdoor lanais. All of them are extremely private and quiet and most have full ocean views. None of them require elevators to reach. Rather, you meander along winding pathways, admiring the waterfalls and koi ponds along the way.
Now, beach bums, don't fret. The hotel has complimentary shuttles to the beach along with a dedicated beach attendant, ready with complimentary water bottles, chairs and umbrellas. It's the best of both worlds.

The Damai Beach Resort in Sarawak is Perfecting Its Public Spaces
View from our Superior Poolside Room at the Damai Beach Resort
The Malaysian state of Sarawak on the island of Borneo is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts and adventure travelers, especially the area surrounding the city of Kuching. A short drive outside the city sits the Sarawak Cultural Village and Mount Santubong, where you can learn about Iban longhouses and explore the exotic wildlife of the rainforest.
There are a number of hotels in Kuching that are very affordable and within a 45-minute drive, but if you want to stay on the coast, the area's flagship resort is the Damai Beach Resort in Sarawak. It recently underwent a series of refurbishments that included upgrades to the main pool, children's pool, and dining areas, and further renovations are taking place as we speak.
Damai is in the midst of adding a new ballroom and parking facilities, which it hopes will attract more events to the property. One other addition that's not being advertised but we saw while on site is the addition of a swim-up bar in the main pool.

Belmond Picks Up The Cadogan Hotel in London
Only a few months in as a newly branded hotel company, Belmond Hotels, formerly Orient-Express Hotels, has snapped up a prime property in London. Well, it will be prime once the renovations are over.
Belmond has signed a management agreement with Cadogan Estates Limited to operate The Cadogan, an intimate, 64-room hotel on Sloane Street in the Chelsea nabe. Alas, guests won't be able to stay at the newest Belmond, and the only one in London, right away.
The Cadogan, originally built in 1887, is closing at the end of this month to undergo an astonishing $48 million renovation process that will completely redo the public areas and maximize the space individual guest rooms. Therefore the room count will actually drop down to 54 rooms. A gourmet dining experience" will also be installed, opening out onto Sloane Street and with views of Cadogan Place gardens. GA Design International and their London team will do the interior design work.
When the property reopens in Summer 2016 (long time away!), it will go by the name of Belmond Cadogan.
Currently, The Cadogan is advertising rooms at Ł209 a night. We even found a room next week on July 24, the hotel's last week open for just Ł190 a night. Expect those rates to double when Belmond moves in, darling.

The Ever-Expanding Burgenstock Resort Will Have 3 Hotels When It Re-opens in 2017
Nestled 1600 feet up from the shores of Lake Lucerne in Switzerland, a luxury resort is recreating itself--The Burgenstock Resort, scheduled to re-open in 2017. When all is said and done, there will be three hotels: The Burgenstock Hotel; the circa 1906 Palace Hotel; and the Waldhotel, a medical wellness destination. Add to that a spa the size of a football field, a conference center, residences, and several dining options.
The Burgenstock Resort is being developed by Katara Hospitality, who are also presently transforming the Royal Savoy Lausanne. Katara has again retained London-based MKV Design to take on the interiors of the Burgenstock Hotel, as well as the Palace Hotel renovation and the mega Alpine Spa. Right now, we're getting an early look at the Burgenstock Hotel.

The Langham Sydney Will Officially Get Langham-ized
Almost two years after Sydney's iconic Observatory Hotel changed owners to become The Langham Sydney, the property will close its door to undergo a massive renovation to make the space a lot more, well, Langham.
The first day of renovations is scheduled for July 24. Over the next four months, all 96 guest rooms, the lobby, dining areas and the residential-style ballroom will see a bit more than a few new coats of paint. Spending around $30 million AUD, the hotel will install a new design element, to bring it more in-line with their other properties around the globe.
Each of the rooms will trade their stuffy, dated interior for a more modern, white-washed decor with herringbone hardwood-floors, modern furnishings and gold and teal accents marrying high-end luxe with colonial charm. Being one of the only hotels in Sydney to offer balconies in each room, guests will be able to enjoy the near perfect Sydney weather from the comfort of their own room.

Winternationals Memorable Moment No. 5 Garlits Goes Big (1963)
Feb 16th
Winternationals Memorable Moment No. 5 Garlits Goes Big (1963)
The return of the use of nitromethane in Top Eliminator was only part of the big news at the third Winternationals. NHRA had lifted its seven-year nitromethane ban for the event (though NHRA returned to a gasoline-only format at the 1963 Nationals, it was nitromethane forever from 1964 on), but the event also is where "Big Daddy" Don Garlits, arguably the greatest drag racer of all time even at that early point in the sport's history, won his first of 35 NHRA national event titles.
With a wing mounted over the engine, the first on a Top Fuel dragster, Garlits' Swamp Rat V entry attracted considerable attention. Garlits had predicted, and proved correct, that the wing, whose design was taken from a Piper Cub airplane, would increase traction for his lightweight but high-powered dragster, but it initially was rejected in tech inspection.
Recalled Garlits, "They called [NHRA's] Jack Hart over, and he said, 'Garlits, this is the craziest thing I've ever seen, but it doesn't look like it's going to be dangerous. We'll just let you run it, and everyone can have a nice laugh.' "
Garlits countered, again presciently, "Jack, when the smoke clears, every dragster in competition will have a wing on it someday. Trust me."
Garlits worked his way through the field and defeated fellow Florida campaigner Art Malone in the final with an 8.26, 186.32 and set low e.t. at 8.11.
"The track was a little slick, and Malone and I started marching through the field. Malone is a little heavier, which helped with traction on the rear wheels. We were even at the eighth-mile, and the pressure from the wing started kicking in and helped me pull away. It was my biggest win at that time. With [NHRA founder] Wally [Parks] still at Hot Rod, whoever won a major NHRA national event automatically got on the cover, and that was tremendous publicity. Not everybody looked inside the magazine, but everyone saw the cover."
Garlits later removed the innovative wing, but he reemployed it eight years later on his first rear-engine car, Swamp Rat XIV, which he debuted with a victory in 1971 at the Winternationals, a race he would win five times.

Dixon takes Pomona Top Fuel lead as other Thursday leaders remain No. 1

|Team reports | Audiocast | Photos | Video
Three-time Winternationals champ Larry Dixon grabbed the reins in Top Fuel at the 50th annual Kragen O'Reilly NHRA Winternationals at Auto Club Raceway at Pomona while reigning season champs Robert Hight and Mike Edwards held onto their Thursday leads in Funny Car and Pro Stock, respectively.
With two qualifying sessions and two days now in the books at the 2010 Full Throttle Drag Racing Series season opener, the nostalgia-filled event reached its halfway point. Two qualifying sessions remain Saturday to set the fields for Sunday's final eliminations. The golden anniversary event is also highlighted by a display of nostalgic race cars from the event's long history and exhibition runs, Cacklefests, and autograph sessions with the sport's heroes that will take place throughout the weekend.
Larry Dixon
Dixon, who didn't even make the field due to last year's rain-shortened qualifying, got well in a hurry after losing traction on his Thursday pass, powering the Jason McCulloch-tuned Al-Anabi/Alan Johnson dragster to a 3.795 at 317.79 to take the No. 1 spot halfway through qualifying. If he holds onto the top position, it will be the 41st of his career.
"Before the weekend started, Alan [Johnson, crew chief] said, 'Every race this year, we just need to do a little bit better,' and I said, 'Well, we've got a pretty big cushion to work with. We just need 11 points at this event to be able to do better than we did last year,' " said Dixon. "That was a nice run there and it will stay in the show, so we're going to race this year at the 50th Winternationals, so I'm thrilled about that. It was a nice, clean, straight run, not a lot to talk about. It was just nice.
"Yesterday we ran into the night — the sun was gone and the track temperatures were a lot cooler — so today is probably more realistic of what we will see through the weekend. You have a little different grip. For us, it stuck, so it was nice that Alan and Jason both made the necessary adjustments needed to get the car down the racetrack. So far, so good. Hopefully, we can keep running good for the rest of the weekend."
Morgan Lucas also got healthy quickly with the GEICO Powersports car, running 3.823 after an eight-second pass Thursday to move into the No. 3 spot behind Dixon and Thursday leader Cory McClenathan, who smoked the tires and couldn't improve on his earlier 3.809. Lucas' pass was the second quickest of the round. The third quickest belonged to reigning season champ Tony Schumacher, who marched the Army dragster to a 3.835 for the No. 4 spot.
Behind the top four are Shawn Langdon, who slipped from Thursday's second-place ranking after failing to better his 3.847, and Dave Grubnic, whose 3.854 was the round's fourth best and a step up from his earlier 3.954.
Troy Buff, who sat a lofty fourth yesterday, fell all the way to 12th with his Thursday 3.950 to hold the final transfer spot heading into Saturday's final qualifying.
Robert Hight
Funny Car qualifying was an interesting endeavor as after John Force's stout 4.066 in the round's second pair moved him to the No. 3 spot, everyone else struggled, with the majority being unable to make it all the way down the track under power, leaving Robert Hight's 4.059 in his Auto Club of Southern California Mustang and Del Worsham's 4.062 in the Al-Anabi/Alan Johnson Toyota in the top two positions.
"It's just exciting always to be back, and we've worked real hard over the winter," said Force. "We weren't able to get a lot of testing done. Mike Neff coming over to our team with the loss of our fourth car, I'm excited that [ Austin] Coil, him, and Bernie [Fedderly] are working together. Coil's loving it, having a young kid with a lot of energy to run around. Neff said, 'That's where I came from, tuning, and that's where I really wanted to be,' so no problems there. Robert ran low last night with John Medlen over there helping Jimmy Prock and Eric Lane, so we've got good rounded deal. We're just excited about it. I've still got some life in me.
"I never realized how overloaded I was, running between cars. When you take away a car, it just takes a whole chunk of the load off of you. It's just amazing that I can focus on my car. I'm still running around crazy, but we still have a lot of work to do."
Ron Capps' 4.167 in the NAPA Auto Parts Dodge was the round's next best time, but it was a run that left him just ninth in the field. Former world champ Tony Pedregon has the 12th position with his 4.189 in his Nitro Fish Chevy, which was the session's third-best time.
Ashley Force Hood is fourth, just behind her dad, with her Thursday 4.09 and is followed on the grid by Don Schumacher Racing teammates Jack Beckman (4.101) and Matt Hagan (4.109). Nineteen Funny Cars have made runs so far at the event.
Mike Edwards
Edwards not only maintained his traditional position atop the Pro Stock field, but the reigning NHRA Full Throttle champ also had the session's best pass, a 6.599, from his Penhall/Interstate/K&N Pontiac. If he remains in the top spot, which he now holds with his Thursday 6.580, it will be his 10th straight No. 1, dating back to the middle of last season.
"These things are aspirated so they breathe what conditions are outside, so any time the temperature goes up, we slow down just a tick," said Edwards. "Tomorrow morning could possibly be a good pretty run, but the hotter it gets it definitely affects the engine. So you've just got to make the adjustments and try to race the track and try to get all you can get. The conditions, by all means, could get worse if the temperature keeps rising."
Ohioans Jeg Coughlin Jr. and Ron Krisher remained Nos. 2 and 3 with their Thursday passes of 6.591 and 6.595 as few drivers were able to improve on their times from Thursday's cooler session. Rodger Brogdon remained fourth and Allen Johnson's Dodge fifth.
Two drivers who did improve were championship favorites and Summit Racing teammates Greg Anderson and Jason Line. Anderson, who struggled to a 13.51 pass Friday, was the quickest of those outside yesterday's top 16 after clocking a 6.623 in his Summit Pontiac which boosted him to 8th. Line, who ran just 7.23 Friday, also improved substantially with a 6.640. Anderson's pass was the fourth quickest of the session.
Their unofficial teammate, Ronnie Humphrey, holds down the No. 12 spot, the last that will transfer into Saturday's qualifying, after posting a 6.644 in his ProStockGrills.com Pontiac. Big names outside the top 12 include Warren and Kurt Johnson, Larry Morgan, Johnny Gray, and Rickie Jones. Twenty-three Pro Stockers have made passes to date this weekend.

City of Pomona declares Feb. 11-14 as Winternationals Days
As part of the ongoing 50th anniversary celebration for the historic Kragen O'Reilly NHRA Winternationals presented by Valvoline, Pomona has proclaimed Feb, 11-14, 2010, as Winternationals Days, it was announced Saturday by city officials at Auto Club Raceway at Pomona.
The tradition-rich season-opening event in the NHRA Full Throttle Drag Racing Series takes place Feb. 11-14 at historic Auto Club Raceway at Pomona. The race will be televised by ESPN2 and ESPN2HD.
As NHRA celebrates the 50th anniversary of the Winternationals, the showcase of speed and high performance continues. More than 500 competitors in 12 racing categories are expected to perform in front of a standing-room-only crowd during the much-anticipated event at Auto Club Raceway at Pomona, hot-rodding's birthplace.
Elliott Rothman, Pomona mayor, presented the proclamation.
"Drag racing has been a great success across the country, but everyone knows that the heart and soul of all hot rodding is right here in its birthplace in Southern California, at Pomona," Rothman said. "The city of Pomona is extremely proud to take part in the celebration of the 50th annual Kragen O'Reilly NHRA Winternationals by offering this well-deserved proclamation, and we look forward to many more years of exciting and successful NHRA Full Throttle Series Drag Racing at Auto Club Raceway at Pomona."
In 1961, NHRA held the first NHRA Winternationals event at what was then known as Pomona Raceway at the Los Angeles Fairgrounds. At that time, it was the second NHRA national event in addition to the U.S. Nationals. Today, a victory here is one of the greatest achievements for any drag racer.

Reigning season champs Robert Hight in Funny Car and Mike Edwards in Pro Stock lead their fields after the first day of qualifying at the 50th annual Kragen O'Reilly NHRA Winternationals presented by Valvoline at Auto Club Raceway at Pomona.
Cory McClenathan grabbed the No. 1 qualifying spot in Top Fuel on the day, which featured just one qualifying session. Another qualifying session is scheduled for Friday, and the final two are slated for Saturday. The golden-anniversary event is also highlighted by a display of nostalgic race cars from the event's long history and exhibition runs, Cacklefests, and autograph sessions with the sport's heroes that will take place throughout the weekend.
Cory McClenathan
McClenathan jumped to the top spot in Top Fuel late in the day's only session with a 3.809 at 320.05 mph – the fourth-fastest speed in the 1,000-foot era – with his Todd Okuhara- and Phil Shuler-tuned Fram dragster and held on to the No. 1 spot when perennial championship challengers Tony Schumacher and Larry Dixon experienced woes on their initial passes. Schumacher, whose run was punctuated by a flash of fire at the top end, finished seventh, and Dixon, who lost traction, wound up 10th.
"I can guarantee you one thing: It won't stick," said McClenathan. "Somebody's going to run definitely in the .70s with this cool weather, and it doesn't have to be that late. The track and the conditions are really there. To run over 282 mph to half-track is pretty good. The Fram car's flying. Everybody said we looked like the flying pumpkin.
"We plan on making some noise early. We're going to make our presence known. In the past, I like listening to all the hype for everybody else, but I'm tired of lurking and kind of waiting to see. We're just going to come out here and try to go toe to toe with these guys from day one. I think Todd and Phil are thinking the same thing. The guys did a great job. The car was prepared right, and everything looked fantastic."
Shawn Langdon, in the first race of his sophomore season in the class, is qualified No. 2 with the Lucas Oil dragster at 3.847, just ahead of the surprise No. 3 qualifier, Norway's Thomas Nataas, who clocked a strong 3.88 in his Andersen Racing entry. Behind Nataas are three other top-half surprises: Troy Buff, who ran 3.950 in the Bill Miller Engineering entry; returning David Grubnic, who ran 3.954 in Connie Kalitta's second dragster; and 82-year-old Chris Karamesines, who is sixth with a 3.997.
Antron Brown, who qualified No. 1 here in his Top Fuel debut two years ago, holds the 12th and final time that could transfer into Saturday's qualifying, an aborted 8.36 pass.
Robert Hight
As at this event last year, reigning NHRA Funny Car world champ Hight grabbed the No. 1 qualifying berth with his Jimmy Prock-wrenched Automobile Club of Southern California Mustang, blasting to a 4.059 at a career-best 312.86 mph, the second-fastest Funny Car speed of the 1,000-foot era. Hight's effort continues his great string of outings at this event. He was the Winternationals champ in 2006 and 2008 and was runner-up in 2007.
"I figured it would run 4.05. That's what we did in testing, and we didn't change it a whole lot," said Hight. "Probably my No. 1 qualifier here last year was the highlight of the season up to Indy for me. We were terrible. It's definitely nice to get off on the right foot, especially looking at the rest of the weekend, it's going to be great weather. I do kind of feel bad for my buddy [Del] Worsham. It's his 40th birthday, and I bumped him down, but that's what we got to do here. That won't stick. There's going to be a lot more better runs later in the weekend, but it gives us a start that we can really get after ours and maybe get close to national-record stuff.
"Since Indy last year, Jimmy has a whole new confidence, and you can just see it in him. He's not second-guessing himself, going back and forth to the box making changes. He leaves the pit with a good tune-up and sticks with it, so he has a lot of confidence right now. As a driver, that gives me confidence, so it's a lot of fun."
Worsham celebrated his 40th birthday by powering the Al-Anabi Toyota to a stout 4.062 at 312.35 for the No. 2 spot, and Hight's teammate, Ashley Force Hood, finished third with a 4.093 with her Castrol GTX Mustang. Both Hight and Worsham exceeded Hight's track record of 310.55, set at last year's Finals. Only Matt Hagan's 313.88, recorded last fall in Las Vegas, is faster than Hight's run.
Hagan's new DieHard Dodge is qualified fourth at 4.10, and 2009 event runner-up Jim Head is fifth at 4.167, a number matched by fellow veteran Gary Densham. Head got the higher seed based on his superior speed, 304.74 to 293.60.
Former world champ Tony Pedregon holds the 12th spot after charting a 4.37 in his Nitro Fish Chevy. John Force, beginning his 25th season with Castrol GTX, lost what may have been a high-4.0-second pass after a red-light, rear-wheel start posted an eye-popping 3.80 on the scoreboard; Force received no official elapsed time for the run. Nineteen Funny Cars attempted passes today.
Mike Edwards
Edwards also opened 2010 the way he ended 2009: atop the Pro Stock pack. The driver of the Penhall/Interstate/K&N Pontiac roared to a 6.580 to take the provisional pole position. His speed on the run, 210.47, was also the best of the session. Edwards, who first competed at the Winternationals in 1982, surprisingly has never qualified better than fourth at this event. If he maintains the top spot, it will be the 23rd of his career and his 10th straight dating back into 2009.
"The track is pretty tricky on the first day, so we're pleased with that," said Edwards. "We've been testing and everything, but it's different when you come out here and start competing and try to qualify. We're excited. We made an OK run, and we'll just try to build on that and see what happens tomorrow.
"I'm not sure where it would have stacked up if the two Summit cars had gotten down the track, but we're happy with our start. We're ready to start the new season, and hopefully, we can build on this first run and get better as the weekend progresses. We're excited. Man, it feels good to get to come out here and race again with all these guys and see where we can stack up this weekend."
Jeg Coughlin Jr., whose mail-order company also is celebrating its 50th anniversary this season, is certainly off to a golden start after clocking a 6.591 in his JEGS.com Cobalt for the No. 2 spot. Ron Krisher, using Edwards horsepower in his Valvoline Cobalt, was just a few ticks behind Coughlin with a third-best 6.595 at 209.75, the round's second-fastest time.
Behind those frontrunners are Rodger Brogdon and his Attitude Apparel Pistonator at 6.603 and Allen Johnson with the field's fastest non-GM car at 6.613 in his new Mopar Avenger, just ahead of engine customer Vinnie Deceglie's 6.613. John Nobile has the quickest Ford after clocking a 6.66in his new Mustang, but it's only the 12th-quickest time.
Summit teammates Greg Anderson and Jason Line, who with Coughlin are expected again to give Edwards his toughest battle for the title, both had disappointing opening laps. Anderson, who holds both ends of the track record, slowed to a 13.51 at just 64 mph, and Line also had troubles and could muster just a 7.23.

NHRA announces environmental management responsibility for all participants
Recognizing the need to further protect the environment at racing venues, NHRA has announced a new environmental management policy for all NHRA events and/or facilities, effective at all NHRA Full Throttle Drag Racing Series events beginning with the NHRA Gatornationals, March 11-14.
The program involves three primary rules that must be followed regarding the use, possession, and disposal of regulated waste. First and foremost, each participant must participate online in a mandatory training session regarding environmental uses as they relate to racing. The training presentation will be available on the National Event Registration Web site after participants log in to their account. Second, no halogenated or chlorinated brake cleaners may be used at NHRA events or facilities. And, finally, the responsibility of compliance with federal, state, and local regulations belongs to the participant.
NHRA will post information provided by tracks on the national registration Web site when provided by the national event facilities.
NHRA intends to work with government entities, agencies, and tracks to monitor and enforce the new environmental management program. Penalties, for noncompliance, will be assessed by NHRA, with a minimum $1,000 fine imposed for any violation.
The entire environmental management responsibility program as well as the training session will be posted on the registration Web site. When competitors log in to their account, they will be required to complete the training and sign the agreement before they can complete the registration process.
