Canadian third party logistics company NRI Distribution Inc. and Southern California based Westlife Distribution LLC, owner of snow outerwear brand 686, are creating a strategic partnership to provide third party logistics and other backend services in the U.S.
The new entity, called NRI USA LLC, is looking to settle in the South Bay in a building with an existing free trade zone license, which would allow them to help young brands enter the Canadian market more efficiently and cost effectively. The company will be operational by Nov. 1 and ready to accept spring goods for Spring 2012.
(Just to be clear the two companies are not merging. Rather, they are forming a separate, new company for this project but are keeping their other businesses intact.)
Peter McKenna, President of NRI Distribution in Canada.
NRI provides third party logistic services in Canada for several large brands, including Quiksilver, Volcom, C1rca, 686, DC, Lib Tech and GNU, Dakine, Oakley, Electric and many others.
While NRI USA expects to have some high volume anchor clients, the goal is not to turn into a huge third party logistical machine, NRI President and Co-Owner Peter McKenna said. Instead, the company believes it can help the under $30 million crowd save on infrastructure costs and offer additional backend services if needed such as turnkey ecommerce platforms and other help that Westlife excels at.
Many of the brands NRI works with in Canada were much smaller when NRI first started working with them, Peter said, so the company has experience helping young brands along.
He said NRI and Westlife have been talking about the idea for a while now, and the time seemed right. Commercial buildings are plentiful, and there are lots of talented people available to hire.
In addition, in prior down cycles, after the dust settles new brands tend to form, and those brands may need backend help, Peter said.
I also emailed some questions to Westlife Distribution President and CEO Mike West about this new move.
With the exception of physically manufacturing our garments, we've done everything in-house for almost two decades. In addition, Westlife has been working with NRI for well over 10 years now. We've always had a great working relationship and a strong respect for each other's success in business. For several years, (Westlife) has been exploring unique ways to expand our operations business and has provided 3PL (third party logistics) services for others.
It made sense for us to team up with NRI if we really wanted to do this right on a larger scale.
The market in LA is huge. The LA /Long Beach port is the largest in the US and the import point for most US manufacturers.

Hoopes Goes Wire to Wire for First Enduro Win
March 9, 2015 by Chris Cunningham
Filed under Speedway News
Late Pit Stop Brings Fans to their Feet
Cody Hoopes of Redmond, WA. capitalized on a lucky starting draw for the Interstate Batteries March Madness enduro at Evergreen Speedway and led every lap to claim his first 3 Hour Enduro victory, but not before the drama of a late race pit stop nearly cost him the win. Mark Hubbard closed to within five car lengths, but didn't have quite enough at the end to exploit Hoopes' stop for fuel in the closing minutes of the race. A jubilant Chris Bannon finished third while Cullen Hubbard and Andy Reece rounded out the top five.
Hoopes pulled number one in the pre-race draw for starting position and never looked back as he led every lap. By the ten minute mark the top five had settled in at the front for a long afternoon of racing. Pit stops jumbled the field occasionally, but the leaders remained the same with only Reece falling as far back as 7th after pitting. The racing was exciting as the leaders stayed bumper to bumper through heavy traffic for most of the first half of the grind. As yellows flew and pit stops came into play, Hoopes remained on the point as Cullen Hubbard pitted first, staying on the lead lap. Mark Hubbard pitted a lap later and lost a lap in doing so. Later a flat tire cost Cullen a shot at the win and Mark paced himself, only pushing to get past the leader and back on the lead lap as the two hour mark came and went.
With time winding down everyone wondered if young Hoopes could go the distance on a single tank of fuel. All questions were answered as the race clicked past the five minutes to go mark and Hoopes car sputtered down the back stretch. He dashed into the pits and his crew went to work, stopping momentarily for only a splash of fuel. Hoopes charged down pit road and back into action a mere 5 car lengths ahead of M. Hubbard of Bothell. With a scant two to go, Hubbard desperately tried to close the distance, thrashing his Honda Prelude around every turn trying to reel in Hoopes, but had to settle for second in the end. Mark later admitted he had nothing for Cody. He said, "I should have pushed harder after getting by him [Hoopes] to get my lap back. I couldn't believe it when he came out of the pits right in front of me!"
When reminded of the $500.00 first prize in victory lane, Hoopes showed the concentration and drive of a champion, saying, "I completely forgot about that. That's awesome! I was just going for the win." Next up at Evergreen is an open Drift event March 14th and then the NASCAR season officially kicks off April 4. Get all the details at www.EvergreenSpeedway.com.
Tri Track Series Coming to Evergreen in 2015
November 24, 2014 by Chris Cunningham
Filed under Speedway News
The Pacific Northwest witnessed the beginning of a new Super Late Model racing endeavor as the Tri Track Super Late Model Series kicked off its inaugural season in 2014. In the first year the series saw over 80 drivers take the green flag with 10 different winners over the course of an 11-race schedule. The series returns in 2015 with some new additions including two new tracks, a new series director and some of the region's biggest names committing to the sophomore season.
The eight-race series will take place at four of the premier tracks in the Northwest including two of its anchor facilities, Wenatchee Valley Super Oval and Yakima Speedway joined in 2015 by Monroe's Evergreen Speedway and Stateline Speedway in Post Falls, ID.
"We really wanted to expand on the great success we had last year and planned to add new tracks if possible," said Garrett Evans, series promoter and Wenatchee Valley Super Oval owner. "Both Evergreen and Stateline are premier facilities from top to bottom and will add some variety for both drivers and fans during our 2015 season."
This will be the 50th Year for the Pollock Family operating Yakima Speedway and will have two of their most historic race weekends, Apple Cup and the Fall Classic as the part of the series. The Apple Blossom 200 at Wenatchee Valley Super Oval and Idaho 200 at Stateline Speedway will also be big events on this season's schedule.
The Mark Galloway 150 at Evergreen Speedway will be one of the races to watch, as it will be contested on the .675-mile track and is one of only three races on the bigger surface at the Monroe facility during their 2015 season.
Late model drivers are already showing interest in the 2015 Tri Track Series season including champions from across the region. Leading the charge is four-time late model touring champion, Gary Lewis, who will be out to match defending Tri Track champion, Garrett Evans, as a five-time late model touring title winner.
Also planning a run for the Tri Track championship will multi-time Yakima Speedway champion, Owen Riddle and past Inland Northwest Super Stock Series champions, Braeden Havens and David Garber. All 3 drivers made starts with the series in 2014 but look to make championship runs in 2015. The reigning Tri Track Series Champion and 4-time NASCAR Northwest Tour Champion, Garrett Evans, will return to defend his title. The list is growing with other drivers looking to lock up a spot in the 2015 season including Mitch Kleyn, Lucas Valdez, Zach Moran and Tim Babcock.
Doug Pace will take the reigns as the Series Director in 2015 and couldn't be happier about joining the series staff.
"Last year the Tri Track Super Late Model Series really showed the Northwest some great things and we're looking to build on that to make 2015 even better," he said.
Pace will bring plenty of experience to the table including media leadership with the NASCAR Northwest Tour and ARCA West Late Model Challenge Series, administrative roles with regional race tracks including Yakima Speedway and Montana Raceway Park and management experience in several of the country's leading financial institutions.
"We are really excited to have somebody like Doug step up and want to join the series," Evans said. "We have a great group of guys that have a lot of experience and passion for the series, adding Doug will just make it even stronger".
Staff set to return to the series under Pace's leadership include Media Director Jeremy Anders, Technical Director Marv Boehling and Technical Inspectors Jim Wilson and Craig Anderson. Also joining the series will be former NASCAR Sprint Cup team member and past NASCAR Northwest Tour Car owner, Jarrod Goodwin, who will work in a technical role.
"I believe with the staff that we have in the series we are building for our present and future success. Our goal is to become a top series in the Pacific Northwest to be among the best on West Coast." Pace added. "We want to provide drivers, fans and sponsors a first class series that they look forward to being a part of each race weekend."
Increased payouts will be an attraction that should help with overall car count each race. With a minimum of $5,000 to win up for grabs in seven of eight races next season and a tire contingency program through a partnership with Hoosier Racing Tires, the Tri Track Super Late Model Series will be an exciting program, Pace added.
"We have Hoosier stepping up to provide a contingency program for our drivers and we are working with partners to add to that package for drivers that are part of our points structure throughout the season."

As Doug Hobbs of Evergreen Speedway, the host of the June 27th, 2015 "Summer Showdown", and Larry Collins, who's team will bring the "Winter Showdown" to Kern County Raceway Park on February 28th, 2015, announced a $10,000 bonus award to the driver who performs best overall at the two events.
"We thought this was a great way to tie the two races together, and create some extra incentive for teams to travel to both of these big events," stated Hobbs. "We're excited about working with Larry and his staff, and look forward to the association between the Winter and Summer Showdowns."
In 2014, Summer Showdown winner Cameron Haley drove off with $21,000.00 in prize money after claiming the Don Scriver Pole Award and winning the annual 200-lap race at Evergreen Speedway.
For 2015, both the Winter Showdown at Kern County Raceway Park and Summer Showdown at Evergreen Speedway will pay $25,000.00 to each of its winners, with over $125,000.00 being paid out in prize money at each event.
"Doug and everyone at Evergreen Speedway have done a great job with the Summer Showdown. We see events like these as a way to inject excitement into our sport, so together we're building two big events for teams and race fans to look forward to year after year." added Collins. "It's a hellava incentive for someone to have the shot at pocketing $60,000.00 by winning both races, and scoring the bonus. Race teams from coast to coast have already been calling for more information."
Concord, North Carolina standout driver Preston Peltier has already made plans for the Winter Showdown. "We're looking forward to coming out for the Winter Showdown in February, and if we do well, we'll be back for the Summer Showdown at Evergreen," stated Peltier, a three-time winner in the PASS South Series in 2014. Peltier, works at Hendrick Motorsports during the week and spends his vacation days competing in PASS events and other marquee Late Model races, such as the Snow Ball Derby and the World Crown 300 which he won in 2013. "We've been wanting to come out and do some of the big west coast shows and these two races are going to be events that a lot of drivers will want to come out to be part of next year."
The combined payout for the Winter Showdown and Summer Showdown will exceed $250,000.00, including the $10,000.00 bonus paid to the top team overall fore two events.

Evergreen Speedway Championship Round Up
October 1, 2014 by Chris Cunningham
Filed under Speedway News
The month of September crowned several champions at Evergreen and featured some notable performances from first time winners and veterans alike as the fabled speedway wrapped up its 60th season. The year was highlighted by several marquee moments, including a teenager leading all 200 laps of Summer Showdown, and the all time track record shattered on the 3/8 oval to a blistering 13.682. But the Saturday Night hot shoes were the real story as Evergreen Speedway stars broke records and laid down impressive performances to keep the fans on their feet all year long.
Arlington's Roger Drake, a veteran of more than 20 years, dominated Les Schwab Street Stock action with 7 wins in the 13 race season. The championship was the second in a row for Drake after collecting his first NASCAR championship with a similar performance in 2013. Roger also established a new track record of 18.683 on the 3/8, a time that would have been good enough for fast time in the Late Model (the Super Stock) division in the early 80's. Mike Marthaller took top rookie honors after advancing from the Mini Stocks with a fine first year performance that included leading many laps and a couple second place finishes. A win is just around the corner for the racer from Everett along with a bright career in racing. Three time champ Dave Lund appeared to have his new Camaro straightened out and took the win championship night in convincing fashion.
Quenton Borreson of Aberdeen capped off a brilliant Super Stock Figure 8 season with his 8th main even victory in the 10 race season in the expertly prepared Ford of Dave Brandenburg. The One Arm Bandit narrowly missed matching his father, Carl Zaretzke for most consecutive wins at 8 at Evergreen on August 31. He finished second by a bumper to Steve Schoenfeldt in a chaotic race that saw Borreson have to restart from the rear after suffering a flat while leading halfway through, the result of a collision at the intersection with Bruce Wilson. The Brandenburg crew returned Borreson to the race without losing a lap and Borreson led briefly near the end, but came up a mere six inches short of matching the mark that has stood for over 40 years as Schoenfeldt muscled his way back by on the final turn of the final lap.
Interstate Batteries Hornet saw second season standout Scott Hunt of Seattle and wily Mark Hubbard battle many nights for the top spot on the podium, the duo taking the top two positions 7 times in the 14 race season, the sophomore besting the 30 veteran of Bothell on four of those occasions and picking up two other wins for a total of 6 and the overall season championship. Young Cody Hoopes claimed his first ever win in the season ending main event, holding off Hunt in the closing laps. It was a sweet victory for Redmond's Hoopes, as his last shot at a win ended with his car upside down after a tangle with a lapped racer just a lap and a half from crossing the stripe first. The always gracious Hunt congratulated Hoopes on the podium for his much deserved triumph. Seattle's Justin Brave secured Rookie of the Year with a couple heat race wins and two third place finishes for an early taste at the podium in his young career.
Finally, the Buzz Inn Steakhouse Stinger 8's featured another Year of the Rookie as second generation racer Toby Jenkins bested the hyper-competitive field with a couple wins, the championship and top rookie honors to go along. Kirkland's Jessica Gray racked up 6 wins but it wasn't enough to match the consistency of the freshman racer from Monroe. Jenkins father, Mark Jenkins of Seattle and a notable Figure 8 racer himself in the 70's and early 80's, joined his son on track for the championship night event in a new racer of his own, bringing it home to a podium finish in third, one spot ahead of his championship winning son! Hopefully we see more of this father son duel in 2015.
The Speedway's 60th season winds down this weekend with the Truck Mania demolition derby and wraps up October 25th the season ending Pumpkin Smash 300, an enduro for Hornet type cars. All are invited! Check out EvergreenSpeedway.com or call the office for more information.
The Outlaw Takes First Outlaw Figure 8 Championship
September 24, 2014 by Chris Cunningham
Filed under Speedway News
"The Outlaw" Mike Steltz came out of a 15 year retirement in 2013 with outstanding equipment, support and focus in a renewed drive to be the best of the best on Figure 8 racing. What he experienced in the following 16 months was frustration and disappointment. Not be deterred, Steltz turned it around in the closing weeks of 2014 and secured his first A Main victory since returning to the arena and followed it up a few weeks later with his first season championship. He came into championship night the underdog and snatched top honors from the defending champion.
The night started with Ricky "The Kid" Deitz holding a scant 2 point margin over Steltz. The Outlaw out-qualified The Kid, setting himself up for the possibility of gaining more passing points and a better shot at the title. In the heat race, Steltz, starting sixth, got the jump on Deitz who started fifth at the start and held the advantage 8 laps later behind Mr. Excitement Steve Cox and Chris Curtis in Liberty. The tally after the heat showed Steltz with a one point lead going into the 60 lap main event.
After an aborted attempt, the main got started with Cox getting the jump on pole sitter Zach Larson, but not for long as Curtis took firm command by the end of lap three. Curtis (pictured below) was never seriously challenged, and had a shot at the championship as well, but the story was a few spots back, as Deitz looked to defend his title. All The Kid needed was a finish in front of The Outlaw to claim the prize. The duo worked their way through traffic, securing second and third by lap six, with Steltz never leaving the bumper of Deitz. Cowboy John Carlson and Doug Wilkinson completed the top five and they stayed that way past halfway. Steltz got into the bumper of Deitz a few times in traffic and showed the patience of a veteran in letting him go, quietly waiting for a better opportunity to move past and make a bid at the championship. In the closing 15 laps, Cowboy started applying considerable pressure to the championship contenders, slipping by Steltz on lap 48 and then past Deitz, who appeared to be struggling, three laps later. Deitz was now clearly having mechanical difficulties as the rear end appeared to be locking and releasing unpredictably, allowing Steltz by a lap after Carlson. Deitz had an opportunity ruin The Outlaws first championship hopes going into the North turn on lap 53, but showed professional restraint, and backed off allowing Steltz to gain the breathing room he needed as Deitz would lose sight of him as his car continued to slow.
At the finish it was Curtis with a five second margin over Carlson, Steltz, Deitz and Wilkinson rounded out the top 5. Steltz (above) secured his first Outlaw Figure 8 championship in a remarkable turnaround in performance over the last few races of the season, with Deitz winding the season up second and Curtis, Pat Clark and the Boney Brothers owned Liberty taking third.

Year of the Rookie: Trenton Moriarity

Filed under Speedway News
Champ Sweeps Minis with It All on the Line!
Second generation driver Trenton Moriarity of Monroe, son of seven time Evergreen Speedway champ Tom Moriarity, claimed his first championship, Rookie of the Year honors and a Clean Sweep to finish a brilliant first season that included five main event wins and established himself as a dominant force for the future in north west motorsport. Going into the night tied for the lead in the Foster Press Mini Stocks with Darrington's 20 year veteran Bobby DeYoung, whichever driver finished in front of the other would claim their first championship.
Trenton started the night off by setting fast time in qualifying, the results of which placed both drivers in the same heat race. Moriarity blew by DeYoung on the second lap and led the heat race to the finish. No relief from the pressure was to be had however, as DeYoung crossed the line second, giving up only a single point. Not enough to alter the outcome of the main event, each driver knew beating the other was the only path to an overall season victory.
The final main event of the season got underway with Kyle Schukar taking the point from the pole for the opening laps. It wasn't long though before Moriarity asserted his dominance and took control on lap two and never looked back. Driving like a man possessed, Moriarity sailed past the first seven cars from his fourth row starting spot in about a lap and a half. DeYoung gave chase, settling into second with Andrew Schukar of Bothell in third until lap 13 when Andrew made a move on DeYoung with Nat Barber of Monroe in tow. Barber made an aggressive attempt to pass underneath and collected his good friend DeYoung going into turn three, seriously diminishing DeYoung's title hopes in the process.
DeYoung got started again and blended in fifth behind Monroe's Brad Thomas and Bothell's Scott Burby while Barber was issued a black flag for his efforts and served a stop and go penalty under yellow. Back under way, Morarity moved out to a three car length lead over Schuker, who mounted a challenge in the closing laps, but came up short as Moriarity would not be denied a perfect Hat Trick, setting quick time and leading every possible lap but two on the final night of his first Championship season. Leaving nothing on the table, Moriarity claimed Best Appearing as well. Schukar and Burby rounded out the top 3 with DeYoung finishing fourth and Thomas fifth. Post race inspection found all competitors to be legal and young Moriarity could enjoy his night with pride and confidence, free from rumor and innuendo. 2014 was truly Year of the Rookie.
Fraser Wins the Battle while Holden Wins the War

Filed under Speedway News
Jason Fraser redeemed himself from early season controversy by executing brilliant tire management skills and closing out the 2014 Evergreen season with a win in the 100 lap season championship main event on the 5/8 mile oval, becoming the only regular season race winner running the full 2900lbs with a spec head engine. Meanwhile, Mike Holden secured his first ever Speedway Chevrolet Super Late Model championship on the strength of a fourth place finish and five main event wins for the 2014 season.
The night started with Gary Lewis setting fast time with a blistering 22.304 qualifying lap. Rookie Gracin Raz impressed the heavily talented field with a second quick 22.333 in only his second outing on the big 5/8 in a full size race car. The race for season long top honors started with championship leader Mike Holden on the pole with challenger Tyler Tanner starting right behind in third. Tanner needed a win with Holden finishing outside the top five to have a shot at the championship. Taking no chances, Holden brought the field down for a quick clean start under Troy Drapers green flag. John Bender got the jump from the outside and paced the first five circuits before Naima Lang blew by the field from his outside fourth row starting spot to claim the point by the end of lap six. Holden steadily fell back, avoiding any conflict and saving his tires while Tanner did everything he could to give himself the best possible shot at glory.
Lang held the point until lap 28 when an ailing Ron Eaton had an internal engine problem and oiled down the surface for two full circuits bringing out the yellow, but not before Tanner found the dry spots and sailed into the lead while Lang fought for control. He remained there through a lap 34 caution when John Zaretzke got together with the the 30 of Canadian rookie Tyler Baker. Lewis worked his way up from his third row starting spot after the six car invert and briefly took over the top spot. Lewis' reign as the leader was short lived as Fraser applied just enough fuel to squeeze by two laps later. The trio of Fraser, Lewis and Tanner traded the top three spots several times in a thrilling display of speed and skill over the next 30 laps, with Tanner flexing some muscle and retaking the lead on a lap 49 restart, then falling back to third in a tight race with Lewis, then back up to second as the laps wound down. Holden made a late race charge at a podium finish to cap off his championship season, but had to settle for fourth as a late race caution set up a green/white/checkered finish favoring the superior horsepower of Lewis.
Fraser took top honors with Tanner second, Lewis third, Holden fourth and Jason Kooy rounding out the top five. That closed out the 60th season at Evergreen Speedway. 2015 will mark the 35th consecutive year running a regular Super Late Model division at the historic speed plant. Many competitors will be heading to Yakima Speedway for the annual Fall Classic and $10,000 to win and later, in February, to the new Kern County Raceway for the first running of Winter Showdown, to be run in conjunction with Evergreen's annual Summer Showdown. The Kern County affair will pay $25,000 to the winner and a whopping $125,000 purse. Look for more announcements coming very soon about exciting Late Model racing coming to the West Coast. Full stories on the rest of the action from Championship Night #1 coming shortly.

Epic Battles to be Resolved Saturday

Filed under Speedway News
The closest races to declare champions in over a decade will be decided Saturday at Evergreen Speedway at the Fairgrounds in Monroe. In a battle of second generation warriors in the Speedway Chevrolet Super Late Models, Mike Holden, son of many time Evergreen Speedway champ Rob Holden holds a slim 10 point lead over Tyler Tanner, son of two time NASCAR NW Tour champ Kelly Tanner and Evergreen NASCAR Mini Stock champ LeAnne Tanner. Holden needs a top five finish to secure the title, with a the tie breaker going his way on the strength of five victories to date in the 2014 season.
At the same time, young Trenton Moriarity is going into the final event tied with Bobby DeYoung for the Foster Press mini stock championship. Moriarity has the Rookie of the year honors locked up, but is trying to make it Year of the Rookie by closing out the overall championship as well, while 20 year veteran DeYoung seeks to secure his first. Andrew Schukar remains in striking distance after leading a sizable portion of the season only to have some tough luck in the closing weeks.
Roger Drake essentially has the Les Schwab Street Stock title locked up with 8 wins in 12 starts and only one finish any lower than fourth in a dominating performance for the 2014 season. Chad Fitzpatrick is the only other driver to pick up more than one win so far this season. Likewise, the Interstate Batteries Hornets is seeing Scott Hunt turn in an impressive performance in his sophomore season behind the wheel of a big car. He's captured 6 main event wins so far in 2014, securing him the top spot by taking the green flag for Saturday nights finale.
The following Saturday is Championship Night #2 at Evergreen with the Outlaw Figure 8's, Super Stock Figure 8's and Stingers all taking to the arena to decide their 2014 champions. They'll be joined by the Renegades and the Columbia River Legends as they close out their seasons.
Hein Snags 5th RPM in a Row

Filed under Speedway News
In one of the most exciting nights of pavement sprint car racing in recent memory, Matt Hein charged past King of the Wing Champion Jojo Helberg in heavy traffic to claim his fifth Rory Price Memorial in a row! Ending the race on lap 29 of 40 under light mist, the drivers agreed it was unsafe to continue and Hein collected the $5000 win.
The night started off with Helberg rolling out first for qualifying and absolutely shattering the all time track record on the 3/8 oval by clocking a 13.682 on his first lap. The rest of qualifying was a formality as no one could come close to the recent winner at the high banks of Speedways Winchester and Toledo. The white hot Helberg claimed Davey Hamilton's King of the Wing Midwest leg championship before heading to Evergreen to lay down the ultra fast lap. Heat race action saw a full invert for two races as drivers jockeyed to claim their starting positions for the 40 lap eighth running of the RPM race and a $500 reward for winning the 12 lap sprints. Second quick Matt Hein at a 13.971, claimed heat 1 and Helberg took home heat 2, but not before getting passed by Scott Aumen. Aumen suffered a flat tire the following lap, setting up the top two qualifiers out front to slug it out in clean air for the opening laps of the main event.
The Rory Price Memorial got started under threatening skies and took three tries to complete the first lap, with multi car tangles in turn one for the two initial attempts, thinning the field by 4, including fan favorite Billy Kennelly. When racing finally commenced, Helberg darted to an early half straightaway lead. The clean air for the leaders didn't last long as the duo began lapping cars in earnest by the end of the third lap. The two diced through slower cars and were quickly lapping top 10 runners when Hein made his move in heavy traffic to lead lap 16. The rocket men had third place a lap down by lap 25. The torrid pace was slowed when Aumen made a daring three wide attempt entering one with all four wheels below the white line and clobbered the infield tire. The restart attempt was called off when Shawn Rice spun in turn two and light mist started to fall. Hein never looked back and the race ended under caution when the drivers notified officials that the surface was too damp and unsafe to continue.
RPM8 ended under a series of controversies. Darren Yates and Jake Mann, who had been running third and fourth a lap down, left the surface before the final yellow fell, and Shawn Rice, who had been running third at the time he spun, brought out the final caution, creating a great deal of confusion as to who rounded out the top five. Then later, after being informed of post race inspection involving the engine pump, the Helberg crew loaded up quickly and rolled out the back gate, saying they had a plane to catch on their way by!
In other action, Mike Steltz claimed his first Outlaw Figure 8 win since returning to competition, Duane Schoesbeck claimed the win in the Street Stock main event, FSCRA saw John Grosvenor sweep the Evergreen events this year with his second win at the historic facility in 2014 and Jason Majors took home top honors in the Pro 4 Trucks. Next up is Super Late Model Championship night for 100 laps on the 5/8 oval in an exciting close battle for the NASCAR championship.
Tanner Takes Coca Cola 125
August 27, 2014 by Chris Cunningham
Filed under Speedway News
It was an exciting night of racing at the Evergreen State Fair as all the main events produced dramatic results. Tyler Tanner cruised to a two car length win Saturday at Evergreen Speedway over Shane Harding and Andy Sole, who matched his best run this year. Every bit as crucial as his second win of the season, Tanner picked up 22 points on leader Mike Holden who exited to the pits early for lengthy repairs. The pair go into championship night with a mere 10 point spread. The battle is far from over, as Tanner historically has been superior on the big 5/8, but Holden picked up the first win of his career on the track just one week before. Only a top 5 finish will secure the title for Holden if Tanner carries his momentum to the close of the 100 lap finale.
Doni Wanat and Molly Helmuth brought the field down for the green for the final time on the 3/8 oval for 2014. Wanat surged into the lead with Brandon Scheiber in hot pursuit to close out lap one. Despite a couple strong challenges from the Genie Chevy of Shane Sawin, Wanat held the point through an early caution that collected Helmuth and her Frontier Communications Late Model into the front stretch wall. On the restart, Sawin grabbed the lead by a nose, but couldn't hold it through the first turn and Wanat came roaring back down the back stretch. Meanwhile Tanner, Holden and Harding were working their way through traffic after the 8 car invert. Tanner took over third on lap 6 and Holden got by for the spot 10 laps later. Holden didn't waste any time and driving like there's no tomorrow, set his sights on Sawin, who was already applying heavy pressure to Wanat for the lead. Sawin looked inside for several laps before connecting with the back edge of Wanats bumper, spinning him out of the lead as they came down to complete lap 22 of the 125 lap grind. Sawin received a black flag for his aggression, but was headed to pit road anyway to repair a rear tire flattened by Holden, who also collected the front stretch fence in the melee.
With the top 3 now out of the picture, Tanner inherited the lead with Harding in tow and never looked back. After starting dead last, Andy Sole made his way through the early carnage to settle into the top five, eventually disposing of Peter Link and Jason Kooy for third. Sole took over second from Harding for several laps after a lap 75 restart, but wasn't able to hold it to the finish as Harding slipped back by to complete lap 90. Harding kept Tanner in his sights but never mounted a serious challenge and they crossed the line a couple car lengths apart with Sole right behind. Joe Constance and Kooy rounded out the top 5.
In other action, Trenton Moriarity held off Bobby DeYoung for his fourth win in his rookie season in the Foster Press Mini Stocks and the two head into championship night tied for the lead in overall points. Lance O'Grain outdueled Jessica Gray in the closing laps of the Stinger 8 main to secure his first win of the season. The two traded the lead several times in the final three laps, with O'Grain squeaking by on the inside of the final turn for the win. In Vintage Modified action, Jim Palmer ran last for 29 straight laps, then slipped by everyone for the win coming out of turn four! First Bobby Wheeler Jr. and Kyten Jones got together for the lead in the closing laps, then on the final turn, Robert Rux collected leader John Mustered. Tom Smitham couldn't avoid and the trio gathered up Rux who was charging back through the field. Mike Clother and Jones slowed to avoid and Palmer slipped by everyone to collect the victory! Next up is Championship night for 100 laps for the Super Late Models on the 5/8 oval along with the Street Stocks, Mini Stocks, Hornets and the Pro 4 Trucks.

Health Insurance Matter
I'll try to briefly explain my dilemma.
I live in NYC. I buy my health insurance from a group rate plan from an agency I work for. I'm an independent contractor. They just called me last week (28th June) and said that the health insurance company is no longer qualifying contractors for their plan by the end of that month (June), leaving me without any health insurance as of 1st July. That just gave me one weekend of notice.
I've looked into purchasing some personal health insurance, however, for most you can't qualify until the following month. This leaves me without health insurance for a month......a huge worry for me. I'm healthy and in my early 30's if this matters any.
My questions are:
1) Shouldn't a health insurance company give more notice before such cancellations? Do I have any such rights?
2) Anybody know of any temporary insurance plans for just a month or a few weeks? Not as a traveller though.
Many Thanks,
If you are healthy and in your 30s, what are the chances that you will need insurance in a month? A lot of people would take a chance and use some extra time to shop around for the best deal at the best rates. Don't be rushed into buying something that may not be the best plan for you. For example, a plan that offers ambulance coverage is usually not worth the extra premium because the chance of ever using it is slim. Some plans even cover organ transplants and overseas coverage. All with increased premiums. What are the chances of your needing a policy like that? You want a good basic policy with a decent deductible. The larger the deductible, the lower the monthly premium.
I guess I want something short-term in the meantime. Ever since I've lived in NYC, many unexpected things have happened. So, I find it really risky to not have any health insurance. I just want something in the interim until I find a good coverage for myself.
Any ideas?
I searched short-term medical coverages online however none were offered for NYC.
Thanks again,
Do you live in NYC? If so, would you be willing to share the contact information of your agent? Hope you don't mind me asking.
I actually don't have an agent as I went directly through the contract agency I work for. I've been calling different health insurance companies, but they don't seem to do anything that is immediately effective, only starting the next month, or short-term. Not sure if I'm looking in the right places.....
I appreciate your advice.
Not that this will help you - but this same thing happens to me every year or so and I work for a company that provides coverage. We are a small company with few employees. The Insurance provider waits until a week before the plan expires to notify us that they are raising the rates, cancelling the policies or whatever. Which leaves us in a lurch trying to get coverage at the last minute. I think they know how difficult they make it because they are hoping we will just buy their more expensive plan rather than endure the hassle of finding a new one.
Finding and keeping health insurance takes many man hours of phone time - this is why large companies have someone on the staff that does nothing but manage health insurance.
Good luck.
My son has coverage through UHC that he obtained from this site. He has a high deductible but a low monthly premium and figures the daily run of the mill stuff he can handle. This is good for major medical needs. He was covered in just a couple of days.
Here is a link that might be useful: online ins
In response to Agnes,
A few years ago I woke up one morning and noticed that colors were not very vivid in my left eye. A couple hours later I noticed that my vision had suddenly become very blurry in that eye. By that evening I could not see bright lights with that eye and everything was gray and white --- no colors at all. I got an eye exam that night and was diagnosed with optic neuritis and probable multiple sclerosis. Two days later I had an MRI and found out I did not have MS, but had two brain tumor instead. One of them was wrapped around my carotid artery and pushing on my optic nerve, which is why I was almost totally blind in my eye by this time. I had brain surgery a few days later. This is why the OP does not need to be without health insurance even if she is young and healthy. I was too, until I woke up that morning.
Sorry I'm so late in responding but did not initially think of this until now.
You might check into COBRA -
I handle Medical Insurance where I work and when an employee leaves, they have the option of remaining on the current policy until they can find insurance elsewhere. Since you were being treated as an employee by the company you were dealing with, you might be able to qualify for
COBRA. Check with the HR person for your company and see if they can check into it for you. You will have to pay the full premium plus up to 10% for the company you are dealing with to handle the paperwork. This plan can be used up to 18 months and you will have the same coverage you have now. It will at least give you time to look into other options.
dlynn brings up a good point. Yes, doing without is a gamble, but so is crossing a street. My point is that you most likely have time to shop around and be careful in your selection.
However, since it's been just about a month since you were given the news, have you found suitable insurance for yourself yet?

Urban Transportation:
Challenges to Widespread Deployment of Intelligent Transportation Systems
RCED-97-74: Published: Feb 27, 1997. Publicly Released: Feb 27, 1997.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-8024
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed the Department of Transportation's (DOT) Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) program, focusing on: (1) how DOT has changed the focus of the ITS program since Congress passed the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA); (2) progress in deploying integrated ITS and the key factors affecting deployment, including the status of the ITS national architecture (the framework which identifies the components of an integrated ITS) and technical standards; and (3) ways in which the federal government can facilitate the deployment of ITS in urban areas.
GAO noted that: (1) DOT's long-term goal for the ITS program, the deployment of integrated ITS, has not changed since Congress passed ISTEA; (2) however, DOT has recently changed the program's short-term focus to include a greater emphasis on deploying ITS technologies rather than simply conducting research and operations tests; (3) its new focus emphasizes the deployments of integrated intelligent transportation technologies in selected urban areas, outreach and training to overcome the barriers to deployment, and a continuing research program to develop long-term intelligent transportation applications; (4) although the program envisioned the widespread deployment of integrated, multimodal ITS, this vision has not been realized; (5) in part, the limited deployment of ITS is the result of the natural evolution of the program; (6) the national architecture for the systems was not completed until July 1996, and a 5-year effort to develop standards is planned for completion in 2001; (7) in addition, the widespread deployment of ITS faces several significant obstacles; (8) these include a lack of technical knowledge and expertise among the state and local officials who will deploy the systems, a lack of quantitative data proving the systems' cost-effectiveness in solving transportation problems, and a lack of funds; (9) the federal government can take programmatic and financial actions to promote the deployment of ITS; (10) the programmatic actions include providing technical assistance and training to state and local officials, disseminating information on the costs and benefits of intelligent transportation efforts, and completing the development of the technical standards in a timely manner; (11) while officials from all 10 urban areas GAO contacted stated that ITS are a potentially useful tool in solving transportation problems, there was a wide variety of opinions on the appropriate federal role for funding the systems' deployment; (12) six urban areas stated that a large-scale federal deployment program would be necessary to achieve widespread deployment; (13) in contrast, the remaining four opposed a large-scale program because it would limit local flexibility and would encourage the deployment of ITS where other, possibly more cost-effective efforts could be undertaken; (14) officials from 5 of the 10 urban areas also stated that a smaller-scale federal seed program could also be effective in fostering deployment; and (15) finally, officials from 9 of the 10 areas stated that federal financial assistance is needed to maintain deployed intelligent transportation technologies.

What is the best way to get the labels off of bottles? I have some wine bottles that I got the labels off of but there is still this goo that is a pain to get off. So far I have tried hot water with soap, dishwasher and scrubbing. Is there any easier way to do this?
When hot water won't work...Goo-B-Gone...buy it at Walmart.
Is oxyclean something you can buy at walmart or whatever, or do you have to buy it from that annoying t.v offer that is all over? I still have that guy's voice in my head "It uses the air you breathe . . ." gaaahh.
Glad to hear the oxy method works. I was pressed for time before bottling and did not get to try it yet. Next it will be oxy. I used a product called goof off. Man did that work great. But it did take a lot of washing the bottle after because of the chemical it is.
Is OxyClean also good for sanitizing? Thanks

Solar cells and wireless coils provide options for power supply.
If you have to have a bulky power source, it's hardly very practical. Don't misunderstand though, I think it's pretty cool. Are the solar cells actually the circuit? Would it be possible to get enough voltage from the skin?
I wonder what kind of microphone they used and how they attached it to the circuit. And how did they monitor heart-rate?
And how did they monitor heart-rate?
Probably the same way they do it with pacemakers. See, they use a shrink ray on a police officer and inject him into your heart. Then he sits there with his radar gun and clocks the speed of the blood cells racing by. If they start going too fast or too slow, he takes out his taser and shocks your heart a little to get it back into a normal rythm.
Seriously, I thought this was common knowledge by now.

ReelzChannel, Muse Entertainment Considering KENNEDYS Sequel
As Deadline reported tonight, ReelzChannel and Muse Entertainment are considering a sequel to its hit miniseries, THE KENNEDYS.
Should the duo move forward with the sequel series, it would reportedly be based upon J. Randy Taraborrelli's book, AFTER CAMELOT, originally published this past spring, and follow the events immediately following Robert Kennedy's assassination. No writer is currently attached - and neither are showrunner Joel Surnow or Asylum Entertainment, which produced the original alongside Muse.
THE KENNEDYS was originally set to air on History in 2011, who purchased the rights, but later dropped it. Every other major network passed on the series before ReelzChannel picked it up.
Boasting an all-star cast led by Emmy(R)-nominee Greg Kinnear as John F. Kennedy (JFK) and Barry Pepper who won the Emmy Award for Lead Actor in a Mini-Series or Movie for his portrayal of Robert F. Kennedy, The Kennedys also featured powerful performances from Katie Holmes as Jacqueline Kennedy and Emmy-nominated Tom Wilkinson OBE as Joseph Kennedy, Sr. Nominated for 10 Emmy Awards, the mini-series won a total of four as well as three Gemini Awards, a History Makers International Award, a Directors Guild of America Award and a New York Festivals International TV & Film Grand Trophy Award. The Kennedys is a Muse Entertainment Enterprises production in association with Asylum Entertainment.

I've been trying to set up authlogic with my Rails 3.2.8 server. I can get everything mostly working, but whenever I try to view my usernames I get this error.
undefined method `each' for nil:NilClass
I haven't seen any reason as to why this happens with rails apps. It works if I grab an old example, but not when I set it up with a recent version. Anyone know why this is happening? This is the specific code generated by rails that causes the issue, as far as I know it should be working.
<% @user_sessions.each do |user_session| %>
<%= user_session.email %>
<%= user_session.password %>
<%= link_to 'Show', user_session %>
<%= link_to 'Edit', edit_user_session_path(user_session) %>
<%= link_to 'Destroy', user_session, method: :delete, data: { confirm: 'Are you sure?' } %>
<% end %>
Thanks in advance for any help!
This is where @user_sessions is being set, in my config/routes.rb I have this
resources :users, :user_sessions
match 'login' => 'user_sessions#new', :as => :login
match 'logout' => 'user_sessions#destroy', :as => :logout
And my models/user.rb looks like this
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
attr_accessible :email, :password, :password_confirmation
This is what my UsersController index looks like. Edit again:
def index
@users = User.all
respond_to do |format|
format.html # index.html.erb
format.json { render json: @users }
And this is what my UserSessionController looks like:
def index
@user_sessions = UserSession.all
respond_to do |format|
format.html # index.html.erb
format.json { render json: @user_sessions }
Note: I had this commented out thinking it was an issue. If that isn't commented out it returns

Podcast: Decades of Horror 1970′s Eps 002 – The Brood (1979)
Doc Rotten and The Black Saint continue their examination of the horror films of the Seventies with David Cronenberg's The Brood featuring Oliver Reed, Samantha Eggar and Art Hindle. The director injects a ton of personal subtext into the script causing The Black Saint to believe Cronenberg may be exorcising some personal demons with The Brood. The film, while containing its signature shock ending, is a sign of the kind of films Cronenberg would dive into in the … Continue reading

We are still working to obtain content for your car, however the video above is believed to have similar characteristics as your car.
The cabin air filter in your 2009 Mercedes-Benz C300 filters the air that is blown from your heater or air conditioner into the cabin of your C300. You need to change it at least once a year or every 20,000 miles. Replacing the cabin air filter (also know as the dust filter, hvac filter, pollen filter, air conditioner filter and hepa filter) will improve the air quality of your C300, will put less strain on your heating and air conditioning system and can increase your gas mileage. These filters are fairly inexpensive, so check out our parts page for great deals on a new one (tip: buy several - they don't expire and you will be able to quickly swap the old one out for a fresh one).
Not all Mercedes-Benzs have a cabin air filter and for some models, the inclusion of a cabin air filter depends on what trim level you have (Sport). Newer cars are more likely to have a cabin air filter than older models. If your C300 has a funky odor when you turn on the heat or air conditioner, or it seems like the fan doesn't work as well as it used to, replacing your cabin air filter is a quick and cheap fix! The video above shows you the cabin air filter location in your C300 and how to change it!

Peter LaBarbera of Americans For Truth About Homosexuality appeared on the Monday edition of Voice of Christian Youth America's show "In Focus," where he spoke to host Jim Schneider about "the ingraining of homosexuality in society." Outraged by a Canadian writer's tongue-in-check column about teaching LGBTQ acceptance in schools, LaBarbera decided that this one person's column confirms that the entire gay rights movement seeks to "penetrate the minds of the youth." "Homosexual activists know that they have to change the minds of... MORE >

During his appearance on yesterday's edition of "Crosstalk," Religious Right legal activist and Liberty Counsel chairman Mat Staver fielded a call from a listener who claimed that President Obama is a communist Muslim out to destroy America. "Crosstalk" host Vic Eliason said that the truth of the caller's claim was "evident" since Obama won't "combine the word Muslim and terror." Staver agreed, alleging that Obama was "ideologically raised in the Islamic world and ideology" and falsely claiming that Obama "still... MORE >

Last week, Rep. Glenn Grothman appeared on Voice of Christian Youth America's show "In Focus" to outline his right-wing agenda as a freshman member of Congress. The Wisconsin Republican, who recently won attention after calling on constituents to essentially spy on their neighbors who use food stamps, strongly disagreed with a viewer who said that Wisconsin should consider legalizing and taxing marijuana as a way to increase state revenues. "A lot has been written about the income gap in our country and how the poor people aren't making enough money or saving... MORE >

William Gheen of Americans for Legal Immigration (ALIPAC) visited VCY America's "Crosstalk" yesterday to discuss some of his expansive conspiracy theories about immigrants in the United States. Gheen told host Vic Eliason that when President Obama's executive actions on immigration take effect, it will be the "death of the United States" because "five, 10, 15 million illegals will then begin to dominate over conservatives in U.S. elections" and "vote for the people that are going to tax and debt American citizens to pay for their cell...

Yesterday on "Crosstalk," Peter LaBarbera of Americans For Truth About Homosexuality said that there is still hope for gay people. Just as murderers sitting on death row who repent for their crimes can be saved, LaBarbera said, gay people can similarly repent for their homosexuality and seek deliverance from God. He told host Vic Eliason of Voice of Christian Youth America that much like "people who are on death row for murder who get saved and will be in Heaven, we need to apply that love to people struggling with homosexuality or embracing that sin." ...

Mat Staver of Liberty Counsel stopped by VCY America's "Crosstalk" yesterday to discuss his group's attempt to stop judges from issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples in Alabama. Staver praised Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore for flouting the ruling of a federal court on the matter and lashed out at the Supreme Court for rejecting Alabama's appeal of the marriage case, saying that Alabama "does not have to obey" any future Supreme Court ruling "that there's some invented right to same-sex marriage and therefore you can't have...

Pamela Geller said in an interview yesterday that she warned America early on in Barack Obama's presidency that he was "this usurper, this interloper, this fraud," but that nobody listened to her because he was "the first black president and America wanted to show she wasn't racist." As a result, Geller told VCY America's Vic Eliason, Obama's "coup from within" is "going to be America's greatest challenge," even greater than the Civil War. She said she would have rather the first African American president be... MORE >

Voice of Christian Youth America's Jim Schneider invited Americans for Truth About Homosexuality president Peter LaBarbera onto the "Crosstalk" program yesterday to discuss the events of 2014, which was full of disappointments for the anti-LGBT activist. LaBarbera's chief villain of the year appears to be Apple CEO Tim Cook, who came out as gay in October, writing, "I'm proud to be gay, and I consider being gay among the greatest gifts God has given me." LaBarbera told Schneider that because Cook "implicated our Heavenly Father in his sinful... MORE >

Temporal changes in key maternal and fetal factors affecting birth outcomes: A 32-year population-based study in an industrial city

BMC Pregnancy and Childbirth 2008, 8:39 doi:10.1186/1471-2393-8-39Published: 19 August 2008
The link between maternal factors and birth outcomes is well established. Substantial changes in society and medical care over time have influenced women's reproductive choices and health, subsequently affecting birth outcomes. The objective of this study was to describe temporal changes in key maternal and fetal factors affecting birth outcomes in Newcastle upon Tyne over three decades, 1961–1992.
For these descriptive analyses we used data from a population-based birth record database constructed for the historical cohort Particulate Matter and Perinatal Events Research (PAMPER) study. The PAMPER database was created using details from paper-based hospital delivery and neonatal records for all births during 1961–1992 to mothers resident in Newcastle (out of a total of 109,086 singleton births, 97,809 hospital births with relevant information). In addition to hospital records, we used other sources for data collection on births not included in the delivery and neonatal records, for death and stillbirth registrations and for validation.
The average family size decreased mainly due to a decline in the proportion of families with 3 or more children. The distribution of mean maternal ages in all and in primiparous women was lowest in the mid 1970s, corresponding to a peak in the proportion of teenage mothers. The proportion of older mothers declined until the late 1970s (from 16.5% to 3.4%) followed by a steady increase. Mean birthweight in all and term babies gradually increased from the mid 1970s. The increase in the percentage of preterm birth paralleled a two-fold increase in the percentage of caesarean section among preterm births during the last two decades. The gap between the most affluent and the most deprived groups of the population widened over the three decades.
Key maternal and fetal factors affecting birth outcomes, such as maternal age, parity, socioeconomic status, birthweight and gestational age, changed substantially during the 32-year period, from 1961 to 1992. The availability of accurate gestational age is extremely important for correct interpretation of trends in birthweight.

Quiz: Remember the definition of mal de mer?
In literature, art, or music, a recurring set of words, shapes, colors, or notes. In the poem "The Raven," by Edgar Allan Poe, for example, the word nevermore is a motif appearing at the end of each stanza. Likewise, the first four notes of the Fifth Symphony of Ludwig van Beethoven are a motif that is developed and reshaped throughout the work.
