Disdain for logic and evidence defines a pervasive malaise fostered by the mass media, triumphalist religious fundamentalism, mediocre public education, a dearth of fair-minded public intellectuals on the right and the left, and, above all, a lazy and credulous public.
Jacoby offers an unsparing indictment of the American addiction to infotainment - from television to the Web - and cites this toxic dependency as the major element distinguishing our current age of unreason from earlier outbreaks of American anti-intellectualism and antirationalism.
With reading on the decline and scientific and historical illiteracy on the rise, an increasingly ignorant public square is dominated by debased media-driven language and received opinion.
At this critical political juncture, nothing could be more important than recognizing the "overarching crisis of memory and knowledge" described in this impassioned, tough-minded book, which challenges Americans to face the painful truth about what the flights from reason has cost us as individuals and as a nation.
©2008 Susan Jacoby; (P)2008 Tantor
"Smart, well researched, and frequently cogent." (The New York Times)
"Electric with fearless interpretation and fueled by passionate concern...brilliant, incendiary, and, one hopes, corrective." (Booklist)
Andy from Kent
"Interesting, but explanation by redescription"
So, what did I learn from this book?
1) A lot of facts about stuff that has happened in America. Interesting enough.
2) I have heard a defense of middle-brow morals from the late 50s and early 60s which was pretty compelling (although, it is not coincidental these are the morals with which Jacoby was raised).
3) That the Beatles aren't as good as Chopin (for which there is never a cogent argument besides that "it's obvious" or "Paul Simon doesn't think he's a poet").
4) And that TV is evil and has ruined our society (maybe to some extent, but is that really explaining anything? The question is why has it made us anti-intellectual vs. the Europeans).
I would have to say the anti-Beatles argument really sums up the weak points of this book. While its strengths are in its recitation of the intellectual history of America, its weaknesses are that it usually just hinges on, "well, come on, the Beatles are pop music, not as good as classical, come on!" It's not particularly moving as an argument, frankly.
That Jacoby can never separate her own personal tastes for the intellectual life (NPR, Russian Literature and wine and cheese) from her story about why America has been dumbed down to an almost comical level is a true shame. Because even though the topic could be a fascinating explanation of what's gone wrong with American minds, the book reads more like a personal indictment of things Jacoby doesn't like. Right-wing neocons? Yup she doesn't like 'em. Academic politics? She doesn't like 'em (and boy does she go on about it!). Pop culture? She doesn't like it.
In sum, it's very well read and very interesting, but never goes beneath a surface level of vitriol against the intellectual life to which Jacoby clearly aspires.
Faced with mindless duty, when an audio book player slips into a rear pocket and mini buds pop into ears, old is made new again.
"The Age of American Unreason" interests baby boomers because it capsules events of the pig-in-a-python' era (babies born between 1946 and 1964). Susan Jacoby's characterization of this era as "The Age of American Unreason" is a failed argument because of over generalization.
Literary education is unquestionably different today than when Ms. Jacoby graduated from college but different is neither good nor bad; i.e. literary education from Tolstoy, Dostoevsky, Faulkner, Charlotte Bronte, Pearl Buck and other literary giants is still being consumed by the public. New authors like Katherine Stockett, Salman Rushdie, Yann Martel, Rebecca Newberger Goldstein, or Aravind Adiga, are among many newer intellectual writers. The medium may be different but the message is the same (after all, Jacoby's book is available through audio books and e books). To suggest that the classics are not being read, understood, or appreciated today is a distortion of reality. How many literary themes have been replayed on the stage and screen? Where did the playwright or filmmaker get his or her idea?
Who would argue that science is not advancing? The intellectual advance of quantum mechanics, cosmology, and the science of man is astounding. Philosophy is grounded on advances in Science; with continued research there will be future philosophical intellectuals like Plato, Spinoza, and William James; in fact, they are probably here now but not with history's perspective. The frightful truth of 21st century is that there is so much knowledge available that the biggest threat to intellectualism is knowing less and less about more and more.
Susan Jacoby is a highly sought after writer and speaker. One admires her reputation as a liberal but liberality is not a license to write junk thought.
"Great book; poor reader"
This is a wonderful book about American anti-intellectualism, but as often seems to be the case, the reader is a problem. Particularly for a book about the decline of learning and respect for erudition in America, it is important that the reader make the effort to learn unfamiliar words in preparation for recording. The sort of person likely to read this book is also likely to be jarred by the many mispronunciations: William Shirer's last name contains a long "I," Lord Elgin's a hard "g," Alfred Kazin's is pronounced "KAY-zin," not "kazz'n," there is no "n" in the final syllable of "pundit," and Oscar Wilde wrote "The Ballad of Reading Gaol," which is not, in fact, a misprint for "goal." These are but a few of the errors I have heard without yet completing the first half of the audiobook. There is a certain irony in a book by the brilliant Susan Jacoby being butchered thus, more or less making the very point of which she writes.
"Great book - must read for all College students"
I bought is book - read it then bought the audio version to listen to it again during my commute, which prompted me to re-read the book again. Great work by Ms Jacoby. I recommend this book very highly. However, the narration is marred by a few very gross and obvious pronunciation errors which reinforces the author's case for the dumbing down of America. btw, the admin building in UC Berkeley, Sproul Hall is pronounce as "sprowl", to ryhme with the barn bird "owl."
Bookman Old Style
"A very bad match!"
Susan Jacoby's book is intelligent, thought-provoking, and worthy of anyone's time. However, the reader, Cassandra Campbell, was the worst possible choice to narrate this text, because she is unable to pronounce many, many names, as well as ordinary words. She is a perfect parody of everything Jacoby is trying to say, albeit the irony was surely not intended. To cite just one of her many gaffes, at once point she pronounces the name "Kristol," referring to Irving Kristol, as "ChrysTAL," as in the alcoholic beverage. This very good book deserves to be recorded again by someone better educated than this reader. Listen to the book if you have a strong tolerance for the ignorant.
"An amusing cultural polemnic"
Susan Jacoby sounds alarms embeded in American post-post modern culture. She made an arrays of political polemnics, some more convincing than others, I am curious what her opinion would be if i listen to her book instead of reading it, some of her pessimism can be exaggerated, for example, her fear over the internet and email downgrading reading ability. But it's always fun to Bush bash once in a while, and USA public do need to be more educated in cosmopolitanism.
"Terrible Narrator"
This book isn't bad, though it's marred by factual errors (John Paul II succeeding Paul VI, for example). But the narrator is awful. Anyone who narrates a book largely about intellectual concepts ought to learn how to pronounce them. Among the atrocities were "Aesthetic Communism" and "Cell Stem Research."
This book is uneven in that it often hits the mark but is sometimes wildly off target. For example, I am puzzled by the author's impassioned denunciation of e-books as a symptom of intellectual decay.
The reader was reasonably good but made at least a dozen slips of the tongue that should have been corrected in the production process. For example she said, "FARMERS of the Constitution" instead of "FRAMERS of the Constitution." This type of error is especially notable in an audiobook lamenting a loss of rigor in public discourse.
"Kind of a scatter shot writing technique"
The book was an interesting listen because the lady puts out some interesting ideas, plus it is sort of nostalgic listening to a book that was delivered in the waning days of the G.W. Bush presidency, the end of an era so to speak, but the problem is that it is so scatter shot and non-coherent. If she could have stuck to an issue such as neo-conservative right wing religiosity of the last 25 years and the detriment it has caused to our democracy, wrote about it and then moved on to classical liberalism and the great thinkers and books that Americans used to read, and then moved on to how Americans have shortened attention spans. At any rate the book could have been better organized that it was. There is a lot here and there were some good ideas that were touched on, but the lady never goes beyond the surface of what subject she is talking on and then she attempts to loosely tie the subjects together. Honestly she needs to learn how to write books in the popular non-fiction genre. She needs to learn how to organize her books.
"Tha Age of American Unreason According to Jacoby"
This book was an overlong exercise in axe-grinding. Current problems (social, political, ethical) were cited over and over again without adding new information or offering real suggestions for implementing practical change. Jacoby expresses personal bias on various trivial topics to no purpose whatever, further obscuring the raison d'etre of this book. In addition, the narrator of this book regularly erred in her pronunciation.

Hi! My name is Francis, I would like to welcome you to my business. Feel free to have a wander around and see if there is anything here to interests you. My business is about managing health and well-being. I say that, because most people end up chasing the symptoms of illness and disease. While this can be a choice some people want to make, It is very expensive in terms of finances, lifestyle and quality of life. I encourage people, instead, to chose health, to manage it and enjoy the benefits that come from that choice. A healthy and happy body is your genetic heritage. If maintained your body will provide you with a long, relatively trouble free and enjoyable life. Ignore or misuse it and you are destined for a short problematic life, spending the majority of your time and finances trying to deal with the symptoms of illness and disease. Our Mission Our Mission is to educate people regarding the differences between choices that encourage and support your Health and Well-being and choices that encourage and support the development of illness and disease. We firmly believe that each person can choose a lifestyle that maximizes their experience of well-being and pleasure. Many people misunderstand wellness as a new version of avoiding getting sick, but it is much more than that. Wellness is a way of seeing ourselves that bypasses a medical view. I define wellness as a choice for personal responsibility for our own physical, mental and spiritual well-being. It requires awareness of, and responsibility for controlling*** thoughts. Thus the primary education competency for wellness is the identification of the primary or sponsoring*** thought in any situation and its consequent outcome. Our aim is to make medicine largely irrelevant in your life.

Stay up-to-date with KAKE News:
TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — A northeast Kansas businessman says his vigorous campaign for the U.S. Senate as an independent candidate makes him the true alternative to Republican incumbent Pat Roberts.
Greg Orman of Olathe said Monday during a Statehouse news conference that his supporters gathered signatures from more than 10,000 registered voters to get him on the November general election ballot. He needs 5,000 valid signatures to qualify and plans to submit them Tuesday.
Orman said his ability to gather signatures and raise campaign funds shows he's more viable as a candidate than Democratic hopeful Chad Taylor.
Taylor campaign manager Brandon Naylor says Orman has no solid political base.
Roberts faces tea party challenger Milton Wolf in the Aug. 5 GOP primary. Taylor faces Lawrence attorney Patrick Wiesner in the Democratic contest.
Previous story:
A northeast Kansas businessman running for the U.S. Senate as an independent says he has enough signatures from registered voters to get on the general election ballot in November.
Greg Orman of Olathe planned to have a news conference Monday morning on the south steps of the Statehouse before presenting petitions with his signatures to the secretary of state's office.
Kansas law requires an independent candidate for statewide office to gather 5,000 signatures. Orman is submitting his a week before the deadline.
Orman is co-founder of Denali Partners, a business capital and management services firm. In 2010, he helped create the Common Sense Coalition, a nonprofit group that describes itself as an advocate for "the sensible center."
He's seeking the seat held by Republican U.S. Sen. Pat Roberts.

Prince Harry's Naked Photos Case Won't Go to Court
September 28, 2012 18:47:26 GMT
The Royal Family won't bother to put up a legal fight against the publication of Prince Harry's naked pics. The Palace thought that suing The Sun, which published the photos of Harry's naked romp with girls in a hotel room last month, will only be a distraction for the prince.
"We remain of the opinion that a hotel room is a private space where its occupants would have a reasonable expectation of privacy," the Royals said in a statement. "Prince Harry is currently focused entirely on his deployment in Afghanistan, so to pursue a complaint relating to his private life would not be appropriate at this time and would prove to be a distraction."

Christina Aguilera
is a men-killer, literally. The music video of "Your Body" was finally premiered on Friday, September 28, starring Aguilera as a sexy hot siren who kills men after seducing them.
The clip, which was directed by Melina Matsoukas, gave a notice in the front that "no men were harmed in the making of this video". Aguilera consults the oracle of what will happen to her that day before she hunts one man down. Her first victim is the guy she hitches a ride to, the second a guy she meets at a bar and the third a man behind register counter. Despite the killing act, the video omitted the violence by having blue paint and red confetti instead of blood.

In this year's Messiest Home special, Lisa Arch and the Clean House team discover a dysfunctional mother and two bratty daughters who are drowning in a home overflowing with clutter. Lillian is an unhappy single mom dealing with two ungrateful children who treat her with no respect. Her kids feel that her compulsive shopping habit has spiraled out of control, yet they don't offer to help clean up around the house. The mess is so filthy and out-of-control that the crew calls in Vicki Gunvalson from The Real Housewives of Orange County for backup. Knowing that Lillian needs both a home and life makeover, Vicki not only helps this mom clean up her act, but also find a job and finally put an end to her unhealthy marriage of 17 years. Will the team finally help bring this mom and her daughters back together--or will all of this clutter chaos tear them apart? Watch and see!

Old Vines Restaurant is a meeting place of fresh local ingredients. Our selection of dishes enhance the light, fresh and fruitful, rich style of Quails' Gate wines. Our menu is constantly evolving as a reflection of our focus to serve the best and freshest the valley's local artisans and west coast markets can provide.

The New York Times (October 2006) - "Beyond our tables, the panorama of the lakefront, watercraft wake lines and row upon row of grapevines, with mountains in the distance, was mesmerizing."

- Terrific eveninghorsemanVIPDined on 11/21/2014We had a fabulous dinner and Amy was a great server. She let us converse but joined in where needed to do a great job of serving. The duck was outstanding, the best I've ever had. Chef Slieman continues to impress. If you are in the Okanagan, you must dine here.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Lovely place with an incredible view! Very nice!OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 11/21/2014Group of 4 visited this lovely facility for lunch. Magnificent views, great ambiance, something for everyone on the menu including Vegan choices. Lovely young server and lots of friendly staff.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Superb dinner experience in every way.JohnDined on 11/16/2014Dinner for 3 after the annual Sugar Plum Fair at Quails' Gate, Old Vines Restaurant... This was our 10th or so visit, and it still managed to exceed any expectations. ~ Food- as we have come to expect, chef Roger Sleiman & his extraordinary kitchen team have put together a concise menu with diverse options to suit all tastes. We all had something different, and each meal was highly enjoyed. Wine- superb; we tasted several at the wine bar, and had the exquisite 2012 Syrah with dinner. This easily belongs in the top 5 okanagan wines of the year IMO. Probably top 3. Setting/atmosphere- a wonderful autumnal dinner. Cozy, sat by the fireplace. Couldn't have been more relaxed and comfortable. Perfect lighting/temperature, and the soothing sounds of other customers enjoying their meals. Service- incredible, our server took wonderful food & drink, and turned them into a genuienly memorable experience. A big reason why we will come back again- the service is simply outstanding. Made us feel as welcomed as old friends, being invited in to celebrate a special occasion. ~ An easy, easy 10 out of 10 visit. Would not change a thing. Thank you!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great LunchlovethefoodandwineDined on 11/11/2014Great Restaurant to spend a very relaxing lunch with good friends. Great Wine and Food suggestions by our server, Chantel.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- My favourite restaurant in KelownablktaxDined on 11/8/2014The food, the place and of course the wine. All are excellent. We never fail to appreciate all the chef does to make every dish special with the accompanying vegetables exquisitely prepared or little touches that make every dish special. Wines are pared with each dish if you choose. I would highly recommend this as the paring add another note to the selected dishes. Service is also exceptional. We are always pleased after dining at the Old Vines at Quails Gate estate WinerySpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great AmbianceWinchanDined on 10/31/2014My husband and I enjoyed a wonderful evening with great food. Our server was attentive without being intrusive. She was knowledgable and experienced. We can't wait to return!Special Features:
- Not great for VegansLuv2bVeganDined on 10/31/2014The restaurant is just beautiful and I guess the food would be amazing if I ate animals but I am Vegan and there was very little options. I have been Vegan for many years and go to Restaurants all over the Valley. Most high end restaurants have a Vegan option and several Vegetarian options. It was hard to take the cheese off of any of the dishes here. Usually there are one or two dishes with Butternut Squash Ravioli, mushroom tossed pasta or a Veggie Burger. In saying that I ordered fries with no Parmesan and a green salad without the cheese and it was delicious. We had a nice lunch. I would not recommend to my Vegan friends.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DinnerOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 10/25/2014Outstanding, we enjoyed every minute. The food was very good with excellent presentation. Great wine advice and of course excellent wine! Service 2nd to none. Looking forward to our next visit.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Quails Gate restaurantWineanddineDined on 10/24/2014Found the dining in the evening to be a wonderful experience with excellent food and service. An extensive wine list for recommended pairings for all food. Because our party enjoyed dinner so much, we went back for brunch. Again, we had a very good experience. However, the restaurant was noisier during the brunchSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- West Kelowna GemQualitydinerDined on 10/23/2014As a resident of the West side we have always enjoyed the food and Ambiance of this restaurant. This is the first time I can recall at being a little disappointed with the waiter. Tried to hard to be funny and part of the conversations. It became annoying as the evening wore on. Very slow at making sure we had water, food, wine etc. Have never seen this gentleman before and not sure if he is new or we have been missing him. Quail usually has amazing staff and so we were surprised.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 10/23/2014We frequently dine here and have never been disappointed. Great Chef, great staff and a great experience.Special Features:
- Great MealOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 10/20/2014My wife and myself enjoyed a fantastic dinner at Old Vines to wrap up our last night in Kelowna. The food was great and the wine pairings they suggested were fantastic. Both of us really enjoyed our evening.Special Features:
- StellarPriusDined on 10/17/2014Awesome food, nice price, too bad it's so far from homeSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Lovely VenueOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 10/16/2014I was visiting Kelowna and we were not able to secure a reservation on the weekend so came for dinner mid week. It was a dinner with friends. It was a quieter evening at the restaurant and given the time of year we couldn't see the view but the ambience, service, food and experience was great. Their wine list compromises those of Quail's Gate Winery but as this is one of my favorite wineries I was pleased (my friends didn't drink wine but other beverages are available). The next time we are in the area for a weekend we will definitely plan ahead and book a reservation early.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Nice touchReetsDined on 10/16/2014The hostess asked if we had dined there before and I mentioned that we were booked for the Chef's Dinner during wine fest. This was for our daughter's birthday. However, the restaurant moved the dinner to the next night so we cancelled as we wanted a birthday dinner. When we sat down, we were given a glass of rose as an apology for our inconvenience. Great teamwork. The evening just got better. This is my favourite restaurant in Kelowna.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DavidoDined on 10/15/2014A totally enjoyable experience. The food was excellent, the wine was well-paired, and the service was exceptional. I highly recommend it. On the subject of service, I dropped my salad fork, and while I was waiting for our server to come around so I could ask for another fork, our bus person arrived with a clean salad fork and dinner fork, my choice. He said "I heard it fall". Was I impressed? I was impressed.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Everything is goodInsNisSinDined on 10/12/2014Our waitress was great. She explain each dish and the wine. However, when the manager just put the wine on table and walk away without say anything. I think this can be so better. Every dish was an art! Not much to complain.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Lunch with six girlfriends perfect!tlm65Dined on 10/7/2014a perfect ending to our girls weekend...just a beautiful location with gorgeous views of vineyards down thru to Lake Okanagan. No complaints from anyone in our group - food was all outstanding. My personal favourites were the crab cakes and truffle fries! We capped lunch with a stroll over to the tasting room where we sampled a few wines and picked up a few bottles for home.Special Features:
- Memorable DinnerLOTravelersDined on 10/5/2014Visiting Canada from Portland, Oregon, we were impressed with the winery and very happy with our salmon dinner. The salmon was prepared perfectly and not overcooked. The sauce was silky and not too rich and a good accompaniment to the fish and vegetables. The quality of butter was apparent in both the entree and the bread. We also love the concept of wineries having eating establishments onsite. The warm autumn evening, beautiful views and great food made for a perfect ending to our stay in wine country!Special Features:
- Close to perfect!OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 10/3/2014We enjoyed the first day of the wine festival with Old Vines' Fall Harvest Dinner Series. We both had the yellow beet soup & it was delicious however it could have been hotter as we prefer our soup served piping hot. My wife's salad & my bison tartare were both excellent & very tasty. We both had the lamb sirloin entrée & while it was served perfectly & cooked to perfection (for each of our likings) the meat was a just little chewy & we would not order it again (first time I can say that at for an entrée here). The desert was phenomenal which was a real treat as we don't normally have desert. All the courses were perfectly wine paired.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wonderful RestaurantJimBDined on 10/1/2014Quails Gate Old Vines Restaurant is one of our favourites when we travel thru the Okanagan. The menu is not large however the quality and presentation of every item is absolutely superb!Special Features:

- Excellent meal, outstanding staff!GrooveGardenDined on 9/24/2014We enjoyed celebrating our 20th anniversary and the staff of Old Vines went out of their way to accommodate a special request I had - the entire crew made us feel very special and the experience will not soon be forgotten. The meal was fantastic, portion sizes perfect. One of us is vegan and was able to very easily enjoy a plate of food that was not the usual "salad" or "veggie burger". The entire experience was wonderful and we couldn't have chosen a better restaurant in the Okanagan!Special Features:

- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/21/2014The setting is amazing and the wine fantastic! I was a little disappointed with the food and although I've been here many times this was the only time the food disappointed and the service was pretentious.

- AnniversaryAnniversaryDined on 9/19/2014The appetizer was wanting in quantity and taste (cucumber and fennel soup). The main dish was very good as was the desert. As for value, not so much.

- HopefulconnoisseurofbeefDined on 9/13/20141 of 4 meals was disappointing. Allergy accommodation was very satisfactory, but choice of meal didn't meet the price charged. Allergy restricted the choices, which was $46 10 oz. ribeye cooked rarer than medium rare which should have helped the very dry beef. Budino pudding was curdly. Chose this restaurant because it was highly recommended. Not sure if I would return. Outdoor music tad loud for the dining experience in the dining room, even though it probably met the expectations of those attending the 50th Anniversary celebrations. Booked the reservation 2 months prior, and could only get the earliest one for 8:30 pm. Lots of tables available when we arrived at 8:00 pmSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

It doesn't come as a startling revelation that capturing a championship in any category at New England Dragway is the result of determination, skill and hard work. This year's Indy Auto Parts Super Pro Champion Ray Knight is the epitome of those attributes. Ray has been part of the New England Dragway racing community for decades, recognized by his peers as one of the toughest drivers on the track. But, if you ask him about the most thrilling aspect of this year's hard fought battle you will not hear stories about margins of victories measuring in the ten-thousandths or near perfect reaction times. Instead he will tell you it's the opportunity to share the podium with his son Steven who captured the E.C.O.P.E. Junior Dragster crown.
Steven started coming to the track shortly after he was born. His mother Nancy would wheel his stroller to the grandstands and watch Ray battle week in and week out for the coveted championship. You would think that his was a natural progression into the Junior Dragster ranks, but it took Steven a while to warm up to the idea of competition. He was a bit timid at first. Yet, once he became comfortable in the cockpit the young Mr. Knight's DNA took over and he emerged as a tough competitor in his own right.
According to Ray their anticipation for the 2014 season seemed different than previous years. While they always dreamed of each winning their respective categories this year felt different. There was an underlying feeling among the tight knit family that this could be the year they both earned championship hardware. Steven reinforced that when he set the tone on May 4, picking up the first of three eliminator wins in 2014. Ray was going rounds in Super Pro and accumulating points, keeping pace with Steven. Not an easy task considering he was working as Steven's crew chief and then rushing back to the pits in order to be ready for the next round of Super Pro. Fortunately he had Nancy and long time friend Mark Winterbottom to help.
During the week prior to their last VP Race Fuels ET Series event of the season on September 28 the family started to realize they were on the verge of accomplishing something no one had done. They could very well leave New England Dragway as the first father and son team to capture championships in their respective category. "We talked about this all week," said Ray, still beaming with pride as he reflected on the duo's championships. He added, "I still can't believe it. This is one of the best days in all my years of racing. We finally did it." A footnote to all this is the aforementioned Mark Winterbottom. He will share the podium with his racing family as this year's A&B Tire Pro Eliminator champion.
Lucas Oil continues its commitment to NHRA Sportsman racing as the sponsor of the NHRA Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series. "Having come through the Sportsman ranks myself, I know how important it is to have the support you need to compete," said Morgan Lucas of Lucas Oil Products. "These are our people, these are our customers. The Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series is the core of our sport. I know I speak for everyone at Lucas Oil when I say that we're honored to continue title sponsorship of this series." New England Dragway General Manager Joe Lombardo is equally excited about the announcement. "We are thrilled to be part of this exciting series. This is a marquee event dedicated to the backbone of NHRA drag racing. It's their chance to shine in front of the fans in an event dedicated solely to sportsman competition."

That's a wrap on the 2014 racing season! What a great year it was! From NHRA Mellow Yellow Racing Series to Friday Night King of the Hill races we saw some great racing action.We would like to thank spectators and racers alike for making this year so awesome. We appreciate you spending your hard earned entertainment dollars with us.
Some hard fought battles in our VP Race Fuels ET Series came right down to the wire to determine this year's champions. Next year's competition is setting up to be even tougher with some very good racers moving up from the ranks of Jr Dragster racing to full size cars. Speaking of Jr Dragsters, with the new age limits in place for Jr Dragster racing we look forward to seeing some new faces next year. The new age limits consist of 5 yr. olds being allowed practice single runs and 6 & 7 yr. olds are allowed to compete. NHRA's new youth racing program has raised the eyebrows of many looking forward to getting an early start on their racing career. Full details and rules are available at: http://www.nhraracer.com/images/NHRAYouthRacing2014.pdf . New England Dragway is looking into putting a class together for these racers based on interest and participation. Watch for further details on this web site and Facebook at: https://www.facebook.com/pages/New-England-Dragway-Motorsports-Park/161053320616606?fref=ts
We are putting next year's schedule together as you read this. Stay tuned for updates on the 2015 Racing season, it's going to be great!
Enfield, CT – October 22, 2014 – The President of Hanna Motorsports Jets, Al Hanna, today announced the post wind tunnel performance results of the Queen of Diamonds II jet dragster. The head-turning performance was the direct result of the Hanna's day of testing at the A2 Wind Tunnel complex, located in Mooresville, North Carolina.
This year's Buddy Scurto King of the Hill Memorial Race was a fitting tribute to the man who truly loved the sport of drag racing. In the electronics category Scott Menard powered his way through the field to set up one side of the final pairing, while Don Pires, Jr., emerged as the top gun in the non-electronics class. During the runoff Menard overcame a hole shot deficit to run on his number for the win over Pires.

To find the future stars of both the NHRA and New England Dragway, there is no need to look any further than the Junior Dragster ranks, where each young driver learns the basics of drag racing as well as the tricks to turn on the win lights. Over the weekend of August 8-10, 2014 NHRA Division 1 held the Junior Dragster Divisional race that saw hundreds of Junior Dragster racers face off for the top spot in each age group, as well as the Race of Champions, and Spirit award.

President Barack Obama is directing the Agriculture Department to authorize an additional $30 million to help crop and livestock producers in drought-stricken areas of the U.S. The spending does not require congressional approval, and the money has already been allocated to the department.
Obama held a meeting on the government's drought response at the White House Tuesday. He announced a series of additional steps to assist people and businesses hit by the drought, including a Transportation Department program to help commercial truck drivers deliver supplies to affected areas.
Obama also called on Congress to pass a farm bill languishing on Capitol Hill. He says passing the five-year, $500 billion farm bill would give farmers much-needed certainty.
Officials say the drought is the worst in the U.S. in 25 years.

5 Tips to Harness Your Creativity>>

The advice to dial back on burgers, steaks, and cold cuts just took on a bit more oomph. A ten-year study found four ounces of beef increases your risk of dying early by at least 30 percent.
A 10-year study using data from the USA National Institutes of Health followed 545,000 Americans and found that those in the uppermost quintile of early deaths ate four ounces or more of meat per day. Those who consumed an ounce or less daily had longer life expectancies
Though previous research has linked a diet heavy in red meat to a greater risk of heart disease and colon cancer, this is the first big study to look at how it affects your life expectancy.
The results don't mean you have to completely eliminate beef and pork, says Paula Quatro-moni, DSc, an assistant professor of nutrition at Boston University, who wasn't involved in the study. "You just need to eat much less."

Guestbook comments from the owner
We had a fine week in Obidos. The house is a very good place to be with a swimming pool which made the children more than happy. The weather was great and hot. If you are very fond of ancient walls make a break in Batalha, Alcobaca and Tomar. Lisbon is not very far away (less than one hour) and Sintra plus Cascais are wonderful.
