Hi! My name is Rich, AA6VX. Grew up in Southern California. Got my Novice license in 1976 as WN6KWU just as I was entering High School. I had a Heathkit HW-16 and a gas filled regulator tube VFO that drifted up the band while I sent CW! Painted my folks house for a used Kenwood TS-520. Still have it.
I was FD chairman for K6AA (URAC) in San Pedro, CA for 12 years in a row through my HS & College years. Great years, great friends (N6HE, WA6MZV [SK], WA6TIU & W6HB).
Earned my Extra class license in 1990. I have been not quite continuously active for 36 years, but I just can't keep away from it. Ham Radio is the best hobby in the world!
I currently live in the central coast town of Orcutt, CA.
My primary rig is now a Ten Tec Omni VII for HF. My current antennas are a roof mounted 2 element 6 band kit quad (Qtenna), 2 vertical 40M loops at 35 ft, a short windam for 80M and a 170 ft end fed wire. I'm creative with making 37 ft wooden antenna supports for my loops. A current project is to develop a 432 EME/weak signal station. It's taking some time to do it. Working on the elevation system right now.
I am a member of the W6AB Radio Club. Also Routinely check into the Gold Coast Net (www.goldcoastnet.com).
I QSL via LOTW. DX QSLs go via the bureau unless inbound is accompanied by SAE.
I have a wonderful and very understanding XYL. My son is in 10th grade. We have a dog & 2 cats. See you on the bands!

Weather perfect, pools lovely, location brilliant,beach ideal.
"Excellent service from desk staff, dining staff, cleaning staff and animation team.10 out of 10. Evening entertainment the only week point-soul singer and Celine Dion very poor and uncharismatic. Also acts were spoilt by children and parents very rudely walking continually in front of the stage-as much as 150 times in one 1 hour act making it impossible to enjoy."Rating: 10,0

Excellent location at a very good hotel with excellent staff and food Thank You
"We stayed here from the 15th to 22nd October 2013. From the moment we arrived to the moment we left the staff were all wonderful very helpful and very polite and friendly. We stayed all inclusive which we don't normally do so we were a little dubious before arrival in case we got fed up with the food.No to worry at all the food was excellent as we're the drinks. The rooms were a little dated but perfectly adequate and I don't go on holiday to spend time in my room I would stay at home if I wanted to do that! The rooms were very spacious with good storage space the cleaners did an excellent job and always left the rooms very clean and tidy. Thank you to all of the staff for making our holiday very relaxing and one we will cherish for many years you are a great team and we look forward to returning to the hotel again."Rating: 10,0

Nice for softness and warmth, but a little too tempting for animals who like to chew
posted 7 years ago
It all depends upon the animals in each individual household. Crochet blankets are a great sleeping spot for some animals, as they are really warm, soft, and comfortable. In that way, they're great. However, it is easy for claws to get caught in the fabric, which is tough on the animal; it's easy for the crochet fabric to get torn, too. In addition, some animals tend to chew on certain fabrics, and those animals seem to be drawn to these kinds of crochet weaves. So, people whose animals have that habit should avoid these blankets. Otherwise, they're ok.
Pros: These kinds of blankets are soft and cozy
Cons: Some animals tend to gnaw on the fabric

Ever since investors bought the Apthorp (former home to Al Pacino and Nora Ephron) three years ago with the intent of taking it condo, the gracious Upper West Side building's residents have gotten a bit edgy over higher rents and evictions. So when the management recently requested that residents remove their doormats, alleging they were a tripping hazard, the tenants association fought back. They sent a letter calling the request capricious and without any basis. There are all kinds of apartment buildings, the association's letter asserted, and not a single one of them has ever had such a rule put in place. But a management spokesperson explained that in order to proceed with the beautification of the hallways, naturally, things need to get out of the way, adding that the real problem was bikes in the hall. Eventually, They'll be getting these gorgeous new mats.

Thanks for joining me. Full report and reaction to follow. Don't forget you can get further updates via Twitter: @Pistolpeteh86. Goodbye.
FT: Southampton 0 West Brom 3. What an eventful match! Three goals and three red cards were handed out in a fiery clash on the south coast. West Brom comfortable throughout, and will be hoping they can keep hold of Lukaku after showings like this.
Three minutes of stoppage time...
Shane Long, who has run his socks off all game, is replaced by Markus Rosenberg.
Game petering out somewhat now. Saints seem keen to keep the scoreline slightly respectable.
One change each. Forte on in place of Lambert for the Saints. Thomas on in place of the excellent Lukaku for the Baggies.
Fully deserved. No need to leave the ground like that. Poor ill-discipline from Pochettino's men.
RED CARD!!! Danny Fox this time given his marching orders for a two-footed challenge.
Lambert lines-up a free-kick on the edge of the box, which he fires just wide of the target. Not been Southampton's day.
Billy Jones comes on for Morrison for the Baggies.
Great work from Lukaku again, this time playing Shane Long in, who fires the visitors to three points, squirming and effort under Boruc.
GOAL!!! Southampton 0 West Brom 3. Long.
Lukaku has been unplayable at times today. This time he brushes Clyne aside, gets to the byline, pulls it back but it is cut out by a covering Saints defender.
Fortune didn't need to get involved. Could have cruised to the final whistle without his dismissal.
Unusual set of events at St Mary's. Not been that sort of game, but Ramirez was foolish to think he could get away with swinging an arm like that.
In the meantime Lallana has made way for Mayuka.
ANOTHER RED CARD!!! Fortune also sent off for raising his hand in the aftermath. It is all going off on the south coast!
RED CARD!!! Ramirez given his marching orders for using an elbow on Liam Ridgewell!
Superb goal from the giant Belgian! Great turn and throughball from Fortune, and Lukaku wasn't going to miss this time, rounding Boruc and passing it into the empty net.
GOAL!!! Southampton 0 West Brom 2. Lukaku 67.
Ridgewell this time is cautioned for late challenge.
Another long ball from Southampton, this time Rodriguez gets up, knocks the ball down to Lambert, but is adjudged to be offside.
Fortune with a great ball in, which just evades Long, and the Irishman passes all the way back to Ridgewell to start all over again!
Rodriguez gives the ball away in a good position, but there were limited options available. Lack of movement a problem for the Saints.
WOODWORK! The angle seemed against Nathaniel Clyne, but the right-back dug out a shot from nowhere, beating Foster, but clipping the crossbar.
Danny Fox becomes the third player to go into the referee's book, tugging back Lukaku, and conceding the foul.
Lukaku again causing problems. He looks frustrated after missing his early chances. Wastes a cross, harmlessly lofting the ball over everybody.
Ramirez fires a corner into the near-post towards Yoshida, but the Japanese international can't quite get there.
Much more of an attacking look about the Saints now with Jack Cork withdrawn. Have to go for it.
The substitute gets in amongst the action straight away, firing an effort straight at Foster. Better start from the home side.
We are underway for the second-half on the south coast.
Record-signing Gaston Ramirez comes on for the Saints.
Mike Doran has been in touch, and is not happy: "I think that they need a bit of league position pressure. They don't seem to have turned up mentally this afternoon."
I want to hear your thoughts! Not good enough from the Saints? Can The Baggies bet a rare win on the road? Get in touch: Tweet in: @Pistolpeteh86, or via Email: email@example.com.
Southampton 0 West Brom 1. Boos ring around St Mary's. Very easy for the visitors, who could, and maybe should, have added to their one goal. Saints not playing the football they have of late.
One added minute...
HOW HAS LUKAKU NOT SCORED! Bouncing ball, holds of his man brilliantly, but once again finds Boruc a tough nut to crack. Could have had a hat-trick.
Another corner to West Brom. Another free-header. McAuley once again, gets the header in, but it is cleared.
Baggies looking very comfortable, passing the ball around with ease, and looking to just keep the ball until half-time.
Lallana once again the dangerman, this time from the left, but Rodriguez can't hook the ball goalwards when falling backwards.
Jacob commits another foul, and has an apprehensive look at the rookie referee having already received a yellow-card.
Free-kick to West Brom, who have looked very dangerous from set-pieces. However, this time it comes to nothing as they try playing it short.
The story of the half for the home side. Lambert fires the effort well wide as Foster remains pretty much untroubled.
Free-kick in dangerous position...
Foul on Rodriguez by Yacob, and he goes into the book. Referee tried to play advantage but Yacob wasn't letting the former Burnley striker get away!
Clyne has the Saints first real effort on goal, reacting well to the loose ball at the backpost, but Foster is equal to it, tipping over well.
From the resulting free-kick Olsson is in acres of space at the backpost, but loops an effort across the face of goal and goes out for a goalkick.
Jos Hooiveld first player to be cautioned for tugging Fortune back. Referee should have played advantage though as he was in!
West Brom nearly in behind again, but just as Shane Long is about to the pull the trigger, Clyne comes across and intercepts.
Corner for the Saints. Most of the attacking done by the home side has come down their right-hand side, but the this corner is wasted.
The final ball is severely lacking for the Saints, which is surprising given the football they have been producing of late.
Saints with plenty of possession, but too deep. Frustration is clear for all to see as Danny Fox blazes an effort way into row Z.
SAVE! Southampton opened up easily again by an excellent passing move from the visitors. Lukaku is played in again, but the big talisman is thwarted once more by Boruc, low to his right.
Rodriguez tries his look with his head this time, looping a header onto the roof of the net. Schneiderlin was well placed behind.
Lambert stands strong under pressure from Gareth McAuley, but can only steer his header wide pedalling backwards.
Home side very much looking to the long-ball route, which seems unfamiliar to them, and West Brom's backline picking the passes off at will.
Davis gets the ball back into the box after good work from Lallana down the flank, but Lambert is in an offside position.
Saints needed a response, and they almost got one, with Schneiderlin and Lambert both having shots blocked by The Baggies rearguard.
Scrappy goal. Lukaku flicks a corner back into the six-yard box, and Fortune bundles the ball goalwards, which only just creeps over the line.
GOAL!!! Southampton 0 West Brom 1. Fortune 6.
CHANCE! Lukaku bends his run brilliantly to latch onto Steven Reid's pass, but Boruc is equal to it, saving well with his legs.
Hooiveld seems to handle the ball but the rookie referee, making his Premier League debut, waves away The Baggies appeals.
Adam Lallana gets to the byline very easily, crosses towards the front-post, but Foster cuts it out with Schneiderlin looming.
Keep your thoughts coming in throughout!
And we are underway!
The Baggies don't have a good record against Southampton on the south coast. 1969 was the last time the men from the Midlands tasted victory!
Mauricio Pochettino has arguably taken on Nigel Adkins mantle and progressed the team even further, as they sit in 12th. Will they strengthen their position further today?
West Brom's form since the turn of the year has been poor with eight defeats in their last 14 games, but despite that the Baggies, 3/1 for the win, still sit in eighth spot in the table. Interestingly five of the last seven league meetings between the clubs have ended as draws and it's 11/4 with Sky Bet for another stalemate on Saturday. The Saints have won only one of their last six home matches against middle-third teams - drawing four times - and would probably settle for another point, with the draw available to back at 14/5.
Paul Green has been in touch: "I think this will be a tight encounter as both teams have players that are good at counter-attacking, but because Southampton have a formidable home record, I think they will win 2-0.
You can get in touch one of two ways! Tweet in: @Pistolpeteh86, or via Email: firstname.lastname@example.com.
Let me know your thoughts and predictions.
The Baggies have found goals hard to come by on the road? Can they buck that trend today?
I want to hear you views. Will the Saints run away with it given their recent form? They have scored as many goals as Manchester City in 2013, can they continue that prolific run?
Romelu Lukaku is the dangerman for the visitors, and will be looking to add to his tally of 13 goals for the season.
Jay Rodriguez has found form of late, but his partner Rickie Lambert still remains the top English scorer in the country.
Referee: Robert Madley (West Yorkshire).
Subs: Myhill, Rosenberg, Thomas, Odemwingie, Jones, Tamas, Donervorn Daniels.
Subs: Kelvin Davis, Fonte, Ramirez, Forren, Do Prado, Mayuka
The teams are in...
Since the turn of the year however, West Brom have picked up just three wins, but already had 33 points by then, which is why they are still in a strong position.
The Baggies find themselves in the lofty heights of 8th place, and need just one win from their remaining five league games to set a new club points record in the Premier League.
Although the Saints aren't mathematically safe just yet, they are currently sitting comfortably in 12th, and in good form, unbeaten in their last six matches.
Im Pete.Hall, and I will be taking you through the action, as it happens - live!
Good afternoon and welcome to St Mary's Stadium for our live commentary of this Premier League clash between Southampton and West Brom.
This match kicks off at 1500 ...

Hi all this is the latest completed model off the bench, its the old AMT kit of the 65 Pontiac GTO. This one fought me along the way here and there with some fit issues, like a windsheild that just wouldn't fit , but it is a 40 year old kit I suppose.
Even with the issues I had this was still a fun kit to build, the colour is a Vauxhall burgundy metallic, the closest I could get over here in the UK to the factory GTO burgundy, the wheels are Cragars form the parts box and the tyres are from the latest AMT 66 Mustang re-pop.
Thanks for checking it out.

text: [SZR005] NovaKane Feat. Sinister Vision - More Than Human (OUT 08/01/15) by Seizure Ltd. // NovaKane published on 2012/05/11 11:46:08 +0000 The 'Demigod EP', produced by NovaKane, is the first full EP to be presented on the label Seizure Ltd. It stands to reason that 2015 is seen as no joke to the new up and coming D'n'B label, as it also the first set of tracks to be released on vinyl format as well as digital. 'Demigod' provides a sensuously, Sci-Fi-esque intro. Inspired by the movie 'Tron', the precursor to the main body of the track contains electronic arpeggiators, digital violins and rumbling drones. The lengthy intro seems worthwhile once the devastating drop is revealed. The destructive force created by this partly human, partly god like, deified mortal, is represented throughout the remainder of the EP with aggressive synth work, and sufficiently sinister soundscapes. The final track 'More Than Human' leaves as a swan song to this malevolent, offspring of a god.

HSBC Promoting Wimbledon Sponsorship By Hosting Events In N.Y.
Published June 8, 2010
HSBC for the third straight year is "going wacky for Wimbledon in New York," according to Stuart Elliott of the N.Y. TIMES. HSBC is an official sponsor of Wimbledon and is the banking partner for the All England Lawn Tennis & Croquet Club, and the bank is "stepping up its attempts to give New Yorkers a taste of tennis played on grass." Events are "planned from June 21 through June 25 with Rockefeller Center as the focal point of the activities." Companies set to participate include EA Sports, Prince and the California Giant Berry Farms -- which will have strawberries "that will be served with cream, the way they do it at Wimbledon." Jim Courier and Luke Jensen "are scheduled to be taking part" in the events. Aspects of the promo include a "grass tennis court to be installed at Rockefeller Center, where time to play matches can be reserved; tennis clinics, put on by Prince; restringing of racquets people bring by, provided by NYC Racquet Stores; a chance to play the EA Sports Grand [Slam] Tennis game on Wii consoles, with fans at Wimbledon as opponents; and live presentations of Wimbledon matches on a giant screen, plus vintage coverage, provided by ESPN." The promotion is "being advertised extensively in print and outdoor advertising." There will be ads in this week's issues of New York and The New Yorker magazines, and they will be followed "by ads in publications like AM New York, Time Out New York and The New York Observer." HSBC is working with "two units of WPP, JWT and MindShare Performance; Edelman; and IMG" (NYTIMES.com, 6/4).
DRIVING FORCE: Hertz today announced it has renewed its official supplier association with Wimbledon for the next five years, marking its 16th consecutive year of the partnership. Hertz to mark the extension is giving away 12 pairs of Centre Court tickets to this year's Wimbledon women's semifinals (Hertz).

Thai govt to accelerate bank borrowing to make rice payments to farmers
Published on May 30, 2014 5:45 PM
BANGKOK (REUTERS) - Thailand's finance ministry said on Friday it would invite banks to offer terms for 50 billion baht (S$1.8 billion) in loans on June 3, earlier than planned, so it can pay rice farmers who have waited months for money owed under a state buying scheme.
The plan has been pushed forward due to faster-than-expected payments to farmers since a military government took power on May 22, Chularat Suteethorn, head of the ministry's public debt management office, told reporters.
The ministry had planned to open bidding for a three-year loan for 30 billion baht on June 6 and for another for the remaining 20 billion baht on June 13.
"We will discuss with banks whether they can give us the whole loan on June 6," Mr Chularat said, which would allow three days for the ministry to choose banks and receive the transfers.

OAK BROOK, Ill. (PRWEB) February 06, 2013
Although cavities are nearly 100 percent preventable, more than one in four American caregivers reported that their children had a cavity filled in the past year. This was among the findings of a new survey1 of nearly 1,000 caregivers released today by Delta Dental in conjunction with National Children's Dental Health Month. Among children who had a cavity in the past year, 53 percent had two or more cavities.
The 2013 Delta Dental Children's Oral Health Survey shows that not only are Americans unaware they can pass cavity-causing bacteria to children, but they also need to brush up on some critical children's dental health habits, including basics such as brushing and flossing.
"Parents and caregivers need to teach good oral health habits to children at a young age to help prevent cavities," said Dr. Bill Kohn, DDS, Delta Dental's vice president for dental science and policy. "Baby teeth are very important. They help children chew and speak properly and hold space for permanent teeth. If a child has healthy baby teeth, chances are he or she will have healthy adult teeth."
These are some of the oral health habits that fall short of what's recommended by dental professionals:
# # #
1 Morpace Inc. conducted the 2013 Delta Dental Children's Oral Health Survey. Interviews were conducted nationally via the Internet with 926 primary caregivers of children from birth to age 11. For results based on the total sample of national adults, the margin of error is ±3.2 percentage points at a 95 percent confidence level.

The Rufus Buck Gang was an outlaw multi-racial gang of members who were part African American and part Creek Indian.[1] They operated in the Indian Territory of the Arkansas-Oklahoma area from 1895 to 1896.
Formed by Rufus Buck, the gang consisted of Lewis Davis, Sam Sampson, Maoma July, and Lucky Davis. The gang began building up a small stockpile of weapons while staying in Okmulgee, Oklahoma until killing U.S. deputy marshal John Garrett on July 28, 1895 the gang began holding up various stores and ranches in the Fort Smith area during the next two weeks. In one incident a salesman named Callahan – after being robbed – was offered a chance to escape if he could outrun the gang. When the elderly Callahan successfully escaped the gang killed his assistant in frustration. At least two women victims who were raped by the gang died of their injuries.[2]
Continuing attacks on both local settlers and Creek indiscriminately, the gang was captured outside Muskogee by a combined force of lawman and Indian police of the Creek Light Horse, led by Marshal S. Morton Rutherford, on August 10. While the Creek wanted to hold the gang for trial the men were brought before "Hanging" Judge Isaac Parker. He twice sentenced them to death, the first sentence not being carried out due to an unsuccessful appeal to the Supreme Court. They were hanged on July 1, 1896 at 1 pm at Fort Smith.[3]
Following Rufus Buck's death a picture of Buck's mother was found in his cell along with a poem written on the back.

Cruz Pedregon, carrying the Haddock in the Paddock logo on his Funny Car, struggled through the final day of qualifying for the Auto Club of Southern California Finals at Pomona. He did not make the field, the top 16 drivers in the NHRA Funny Car division.
But he did score a big win for his USAC Midget team.
Tony Hunt, a five-time USAC champion whose most recent title came in 2006 when he won the Western Sprint championship, will race one of two entries for Cruz Pedregon Racing at the Turkey Night Grand Prix at Irwindale Speedway.
Josh Wise, another USAC champion driver, will be in the other Midget car for Cruz Pedregon Racing at the Turkey Night Grand Prix on Thanksgiving night at Irwindale Speedway.
"Two chances to win one of the biggest races of the year is a big thing for me," Pedregon said.
Pedregon, who races his own Midgets cars from time to time, will not be entered in the Turkey Night Grand Prix as a driver. But he is planning on racing at Ventura Raceway before making a run at the Chili Bowl in Tulsa, Okla., in January.
"Pavement is not my forte," Pedregon said. "I've done a lot of dirt racing in my career. It would be fun, but dirt is what I prefer to race on. I think I'm pretty good on the dirt. I'd like to go there and win the race. It's a big enough race. I think it would be great for all our sponsors if I could have a team win the Turkey Night Grand Prix."

JOE I was just reading the rider profile on Joey DeNeen in the current issue of The Racing Paper and it brought back a memory from last July at Sleepy Hollow. DeNeen had finished second in moto one of 250 B and needed a win in moto two to secure the overall. With a stunning display of skill and aggression, Joey managed to stuff his CR underneath the first moto winner's YZ to claim the holeshot. The definitive move put DeNeen into a lead he never relinquished, taking the moto win and the overall victory on that day. It's that kind of move that makes people take notice. Best of luck this season Joey! Dan Hathaway USA 5¢ I f you've been to a PAMX race within the past few years, chances are pretty good you've seen Brittany on the sidelines cheering on her brother Joey. Brittany has been involved in the sport and the local scene for some time doing one thing or another. You could find her flagging at a local race one day and handing out awards at a banquet the next. Most recently, though, she became involved with the editorial side of The Racing Paper. The Bedford, Pennsylvania native started giving us a hand last issue with a rider interview. That rider was none other than her brother, Joey. For this issue, however, she moved right into feature articles. Brittany wrote "The Midpoint" and "Steel City Rundown" features that can be found on pages 34 and 42. When we're not roping Brittany into writing for The Racing Paper, she's busy earning a degree in nursing at Duquesne University. Hey Dan, Thanks for sharing! It doesn't matter if you're skilled or stupid; it still takes some innards to thread the needle like that. It looks like Joey was just a split second away from being eaten up by a hungry Suzuki. It's a good thing he made it out alive, because now we get to see what he can do in the A class this season. He doesn't seem to be doing too shabby so far.

PYRAMIDVALLEY.COM 8 THE RACING PAPER next EXIT WORDS: JORDAN ROBERTS PHOTOGRAPHY: AFRED Popeye won't have anything on the size of my arms after practice. his column is coming to you from Lakewood, Colorado. It's 11:30 a.m. EST on Friday and, as usual, I'm scrambling to wrap up this issue so I can send it to the printer by noon. I have to give props to AFred, though, because if it weren't for him you'd be seeing a lot of typos and no-brainer mistakes. As soon as I hand off this issue to the printer, it's off to Thunder Valley to catch up on Racer X duties. While it's cool, and fun, and whatever else to go to some of these outdoor nationals across the country, nothing can beat being at the races back east. Going to an outdoor national in the east means no airports, no cramped coach seats, no crying babies and no noxious time changes. Instead, some friends and I can load up the bikes and barge through any little misadventure we may find. I say misadventure because even though we think we have a perfectly laid out plan, we never seem to get it right. That's the fun of it though—peeing in jugs without pulling over, arriving in church parking lots as our final destination (according to the GPS) and messing with people when they're sleeping. You don't get that kind of stuff when you fly cross-country. There's hardly ever a funny story paired with an airline mishap. T So the first outdoor national round to venture back east will be at Muddy Creek. The Utah National will be cool and everything, but I think the crowd at Muddy Creek will be astronomical. I'm not sure what measures of preparation are being taken for this, but I'm just imagining the entire venue looking like the packed pits of the Atlanta Supercross. The buzz surrounding this event has got me thinking it'll be a little chaotic, even though I know a lot of work is going into it. It'd be cool to race the amateur day at the very first national there, but as always, I have to figure out a way to get my bike to move forward without going down a hill. Oh, the Craigslist adventures… Once Muddy Creek is wrapped up the circuit heads back up to High Point. You'd think that'd be the easiest round to work, but it somehow ends up being one of the most difficult. It's worth it, though. The High Point National is my new hometown race away from home, and being able to see everyone that frequents the local tracks in Pennsylvania is always a good time. If my bike isn't running by Muddy Creek, hopefully it will be by High Point so I can show off my arm pump in front of everyone. Popeye won't have anything on the size of my arms after practice. Well, I think I'm going to have to wrap this up a little early since the people at the printer are nagging at me to get everything in. It's ok, though, I doubt they read this. Hit up The Racing Paper on Facebook or shoot me an email at email@example.com if you plan on racing at Muddy Creek during the national weekend. We'll throw a GoPro on your helmet and post the footage later in the week—that is, unless you goon out or wad it up. See you there! 9 Darryn Durham finally returned to racing at Hangtown, the opening round of the Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championship, after recovering from an unfortunate injury to his achilles.

Where'd you go riding? Lesher: High Voltage Did they just have open practice or something? Yeah. So what's been going on lately? How has this racing season been going for you? It's been alright. I did decent at the [Area] Qualifiers at High Point and Pleasure Valley. I think I've only raced two times before that. I think that's really the only times I've raced so far this year. I did pretty good in all of them—definitely better than last year, that's for sure. What Loretta Lynn classes are you going for this year? I qualified in four different classes for the Regional, but I plan on focusing mostly on 250 B Limited and Unlimited. I qualified for 250 B Limited and Unlimited, Two-Stroke and Collegeboy. How old are you? 17. Ok, so last year was the first year you were able to race in Collegeboy. Yeah. It looks like your 250 motos went pretty good at Pleasure Valley. Yeah, I won 250 B Limited and I think I got third in 250 B Unlimited. I'm not 100% sure; I can't remember. It was either second or third. Well I'm pretty sure you won both motos of 250 B Limited. I think one of the motos for 250 B Unlimited was a mud race because it poured out there later on. Like I said, it's definitely been going better than last year. I raced a qualifier at Tomahawk last year and I don't even know if I was top five or not. This year is definitely an improvement. So you said you haven't been racing a whole lot this season. Have you been hitting up a bunch of practice tracks instead? No, we actually haven't practiced as much as I've been wanting to. For the first qualifier at Pleasure Valley, we rode practice at PRP on Thursday, and then practice at Pleasure Valley on Friday before the races on Saturday and Sunday. I really haven't practiced since then; it's just been racing every weekend now. So if you didn't do that much riding beforehand, and then you go out and sweep some motos, what's your secret? Do you watch a lot of T.V. while eating McDonald's, or… No [laughs]. I've been training pretty hard for the past couple of months now—more than last year. I'm pretty pumped, though. It turned out a lot better than I thought it would. I pretty much just showed up to the qualifiers to get in, you know what I mean? I can't really tell you what the secret is. It's probably just really wanting to ride after sitting around all winter. Until the Regionals come up, what are your plans until then? Probably just training and try to practice more during the week. Last night at High Voltage I did some longer motos, and it was pretty warm out, too. Going into Regionals, I'll be trying to get my speed up and get rid of arm pump and hand cramps. You get so much arm pump that first time back out; it's crazy. So is there anything else going on other than racing right now, or is that pretty much where it's at? Yeah, just racing, riding and training. Well, I've been riding a lot of pit bikes and stuff. Me and a couple buddies will go out and ride some pit bikes and have some fun—trail riding and stuff like that. Do you have a pit bike track or anything? Yeah, we actually built a full-fledged pit bike track behind my house. We've got some rhythm sections, so it's pretty cool. That's cool. So the only other thing is, who's helping you get to the races? Definitely my mom and dad. They help me out with everything. I've picked up a couple of good sponsors this year, too. I've got some pretty good deals through MSR, 100%, EVS, Moto Option—they're becoming a pretty big clothing company—but definitely my mom and dad. I give them props for everything. They're definitely my biggest sponsors. 17 Andy McClelland, son of race referee Craig, passed away at the young age of 27. O ur racing community suffered a great loss earlier this month. Andy McClelland, son of race referee Craig, passed away at the young age of 27. Andy was the guy who ran staging and started the races with the two card at both High Point and Steel City, always making sure to tune in to every WVU football game that was on the radio every time we had a coinciding event on Saturday. He and his father were avid Mountaineer fans even though Andy grew up in Mt. Lebanon, where he was an accomplished running back and cornerback for his championship-winning high-school football team. He also coached football for several years for sixth-, seventh-, and eighth-grade kids. Cernic said that Andy was a true racing enthusiast. He came and worked at the races because he loved the sport so much, along with his father. It was something that they could do together even though Andy himself never really got into motocross racing. His only motocross outing was at Steel City many years ago aboard a PW50 in a race against his brother, Brad, and Ryan Holliday, who were both on Italijets. He probably won because the Italijets probably broke down. Other than that race, Andy was more of a woods rider, preferring to repeatedly tear up equipment on extra-rough and rocky trails. Maybe he was always working at the races to pay for all the bikes he tore up in the woods. Andy first started working at Starvation Point for Buddy Little, where he was, among other things, the finish-line flagman and eventual track referee. Buddy remembers Andy as always having a big smile and being very laid back during race days, quickly rebounding from heated situations. Andy loved to work with Lamont Hunter at the races and considered him to be his adopted uncle and close friend. Lamont is now helping Craig out at work, filling in for Andy at the family business. He wears Andy's working outfit in his memory, and because it fits him. Waste not, want not. On the lighter side, Craig said Andy was sort of a knucklehead, like my son Cade. He liked to hang out with Andy in staging before his pee wee practices and motos, sometimes six or seven motos before his own. Coincidently, Andy and Cade were both born on October 25, and Craig wanted the picture of the two of them together at the finish line of the last race that Andy flagged. Godspeed, Andy! 18 THE RACING PAPER 19 Greiner If you are trying to catch up by "just getting back in the gym," I applaud you. Are You Ready for Summer Riding? No doubt it has been a long, hard struggle with Mother Nature to loosen her grip on the Northeast and give motocross riders something to talk about: good riding weather. It seems like winter lasted longer than usual, and when spring weather finally did show up in early April, winter reared its ugly head and slapped it down quicker than Ryan Villopoto winning another championship. I've received a few emails from PAMX and OHMX riders who are worried that the late arrival of spring will put a damper on their summer race season. I'm here to tell you that, while getting a late start is not optimal, there is still time to adequately prepare for the season ahead. But there are a few key factors that you must follow if you want to do it right. Tip #1: Strength Training: Increase Exercise Intensity Most of us are creatures of habit, and that applies to our training as well. You get up, go to work, come home, grab a bite to eat, and rush off to the gym. Most athletes who are crunched for time don't give their daily, weekly, and monthly training enough thought to be effective. They end up going to the gym and doing the same workouts over and over at the same intensity. While consistency is a vital key to maintaining fitness, stagnation is the killer of consistency. In order to avoid stagnant workouts, you have to focus on increasing training stress so the body has something to adapt to. Most athletes simply cannot add hours to their training, so the only solution is to add intensity. Springtime is the perfect time of year to add this type of workout, but just be careful not to make every workout a go-until-you-puke session. Highintensity workouts are like medications; the right dosage is crucial. Tip #2: Cardio Training: Do Sprint Workouts Sprint work is a form of interval training and is a great way to break out of a cardio plateau. Sprint work can be done with any type of cardio training, including running, cycling, and rowing. Scan the QR code to learn how to do a Sprint Interval Workout. 20 THE RACING PAPER Tip #3: Pay Attention to Recovery One of the biggest mistakes athletes make is not allowing for proper recovery. This is especially true when they feel they are behind in their training. Most people think more is better and they have to work as hard as they can for as long as they can to get in shape. This is simply not true. For the training equation to remain in check, work and recovery must be in perfect balance. Playing catch-up by increasing training volume and intensity can be risky. Most self-coached athletes who are on the catch-up carousel struggle with knowing when enough is enough and when more is too much. Just listen to your body. Pay close attention to how well you rest at night and your morning heart rate (search RacerXVT.com for complete details on resting heart rates). Some athletes benefit from two recovery days early in the week, one good interval day midweek, a speed session the next day, and a recovery day on Friday. Training consistently throughout the year is certainly a difficult task when faced with the gloom and doom that often comes with Northeastern winter weather. If you are trying to catch up by "just getting back in the gym," I applaud you. But generalized training will only get you so far, and now is the time to kick up the intensity of your training and find another gear. This is a critical time for riders across the PAMX and OHMX districts. If you're behind, you're probably not as behind as you think. The season has just started, so what you do now will have a huge impact on the rest of your summer!

Durham was slated to hopefully return to supercross by the time East Region 250SX started, but he had not fully recovered from the injury by the time the Dallas SX approached. Durham returned to riding midway towards the end of the series, but his return to racing had shifted focus from supercross to the start of the Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championship at the Hangtown Motocross Classic. As the checkered flag waved for the first moto, Durham seemed to be back to form with a sixth-place finish. The second moto, however, didn't go as well. The Pro Circuit Kawasaki rider crashed after a tabletop and DNF'd the race, resulting in a 36th for Moto 2 for 14th overall. The crash resulted in a punctured leg that required stitches, as well as a black eye. Even after reviewing the severity of the crash and injury, Durham still plans to continue on with the season like business as usual. return to pro racing Roberts B WORDS: JORDAN ROBERTS Durham Courtesy Balkovic invited to race Jr. MXoN WORDS: JORDAN ROBERTS or the second year in a row, Jarek Balkovic has been invited to race the Junior Motocross of Nations by the AMA's Motocross Manager Kip Bigelow.

PHOTO: COURTESY TOTAL IMAGE AUTOSPORT shop talk S ince opening its doors in 1996, Total Image Autosport has grown to be one of the largest automobile customization shops in the greater Pittsburgh area. The locally owned and operated detail shop began as a small car-audio shop and has grown to offer a full range of aftermarket products and services. The company now offers high-end audio and video systems—both sales and installation—custom interior work, security systems, remote starters, custom wheels, navigation systems, satellite radio, lowering and lift kits, WORDS: TAYLOR DRESSLER window tinting, and interior detailing. With customers like the Steelers' Ike Taylor and Penguin goalie MarcAndre Fleury, it's become known as a premier customization shop that can do pretty much anything your bank account allows. After seventeen years of business, the company still continues to grow. Through the interest of owner Wayne Arlet, Total Image has also become more involved with the local motocross scene. As a motocross enthusiast, Arlet has found ways to involve Total Image with the sport he loves and grew PHOTO: COURTESY TOTAL IMAGE AUTOSPORT up participating in. He started riding and racing at age 10 and eventually worked his way up to the Loretta Lynn's Amateur National a few times in his earlier racing days. Arlet stayed involved with the sport throughout the '90s. His son, Cody, has become involved with the sport as well, and the two would do team races together. He still enjoys riding and remains an active member of many local series through Cody's racing. The shop teamed up with PAMX as a series sponsor while also supporting local racers including Dylan Slusser, Timmy Crosby, Matt Toth, and Shane Smallwood. Total Image Autosport is also a sponsor of Eleven10 Mods Yamaha featuring professional riders Alex Martin and Brady Kiesel. Total Image Autosport has become known in the Pennsylvania motocross community as a result of the Arlet family's passion for the sport. As a former racer himself, Wayne understands the value of supporting local riders and the series they are a part of. He's hung up the boots and now focuses on his son's racing and helping the community grow through rider support and event sponsorship.

COLTON GORBY 30 THE RACING PAPER WORDS: JORDAN ROBERTS PHOTO: ARLENE LANTZER #98 Brock & Dave TRP: What are you guys up to today? Dave (Brock's dad): We're going to Switchback to get a little session in today, then we're off to Sunday Creek on Thursday. Cool. So how did you guys start this season off? Did you kick it off with some of the amateur nationals or what? Dave: Do you want me to answer these, Brock? Brock: Yeah. Dave: Well, we started off with the Daytona Amateur Supercross. That was our first big race of the year. Brock finished third there. He was very sick. He had the flu there, but rode well and finished third. From there, we flew to Texas to race Oak Hill and Freestone. Oak Hill didn't go so well, but he actually won a title at Freestone in the 9-13 85 class. He started riding better then. Which amateur national was your favorite to race so far? Brock: Freestone. I like the track a lot. They do a real good job with it, at least for the [amateur] national. I'm pretty pumped to win a championship there. Dave: Yeah, they just offer a lot more. They do timed practice, and that sets up your gate pick for the week. That's very nice, and not really utilized enough at the amateur nationals. They give major prizes back to their riders, like Oakley watches for holeshots and things like that. That Daytona Supercross is also a really great way to go because the parking is spectacular— you're on asphalt with hookups. You have the pro supercross, which is great, and then an entire amateur national that runs all in one and a half days. I just think it's a great experience. Don't you also get an invite to the Stewart compound if you win your class? Brock: Yeah. Dave: That's coming up on November 20th this year. This will be our second time there. It's the Wednesday before Mini O's. It's nice; we get to Florida and get to ride at James Stewart's place and then head up to Mini O's. So Loretta's… What classes are you trying to qualify for? Brock: Mini Sr. (12-14) Limited and Unlimited. Dave: Yep, and we're also running Super Mini 1 (12-15) as a backup. Did you run any of those classes last year? Dave: No, Brock only ran the 85 (9-11) Stock and Mod. I think he's probably the youngest in the older 85 Class this year. What regions have you guys been going to? Dave: We did the Mid-East, Northeast and Southeast. Out of all those regions, what track was your favorite to race? Brock: Probably North Carolina Motorsports Park in the Southeast. They did a good job. The track was real good. Will you try to narrow it down to one or two regions if all goes well? Dave: Yeah, we're going to start at Sunday Creek. To be honest, it's not one of our favorite tracks for a Regional because it's very one-lined. However, it's the closest, so if we can knock it out early, we're going to bypass the Northeast Regionals. We are going to the Southeast at Gatorback because one of our sponsors will be there since they're out of Florida. So how does travel work for you guys when you're going back and forth between races? Dave: We've been very fortunate in that our sponsors take the bikes to these races for us. It really helps out. What program are you guys a part of now? Dave: Factory KTM backs us for the most part, and then WMR does our engine and suspension. Our mechanic is also a part of WMR. Of course incredible sponsors such as Mike Jones MX Training, FLY, 100%, Nihilo, ARMA ENERGY, Motorex, DUNLOP, DT1, ODI, Vertex, Hinson, Champion Tool Box, Dubya, FMF, DC Shoes, Skullcandy, Total Image, Renthal, Cometic, Motion Pro, Acerbis, HDX Drink, One Industries, Light Speed and Pivot Works help out a great deal too. Brock, is there anything—hobbies or otherwise—you like to do in between practice and racing that some people may not know about? Brock: I like to ride BMX; I've been doing that a lot. I usually try to get on my road bike and ride every morning, but I always like to jump on my Fit bike and ride that. Fit's pretty solid. So is there anything else we haven't touched on up until now? Dave: We're going to try to get ready to do the Monster Cup, possibly on a Super Mini, here in October. He'll be selected to go to that if he wants to go, so we may get him prepared for that. We're not quite sure we'll do it, but we're still pretty excited for that. Other than that, we've also done some local racing, but this Loretta Lynn's stuff really consumes you. 31 32 THE RACING PAPER BY DAVEY COOMBS B ack in the early days of motocross in Western Pennsylvania and West Virginia, there were tracks with cool names now practically lost to history. Names like Maidsville, Rocky Ridge, Shoaf, Country Springs, Pirate MX, Brownsville, Paw Paw, the Motodrome, Appalachia Lake Park... There were also fast riders trying to make it on the local circuit, nationals even, with names not-so-familiar now, but downright daunting in those pre-internet days: Bosnic, Bunting, Godby, Wargo, Pustelak, Garrison, Kirkland, Knisley, Holbert... That last name on the list—Holbert—spoke for more than just one racer. It spoke for five young men, all of them very fast. Bobby, Mike and Tommy were the sons of Carroll Holbert; David and Steve were the sons of his brother Jack. The Holbert family raced out of Mt. Morris, Pennsylvania, in the early seventies, and anytime they showed up at those tracks mentioned, they meant to win. They were motocross enthusiasts who did it as one big, fast family, their family business being a tire shop begun in the fifties. They used their homestead farm as their own big practice track, though that often meant chasing their sisters and their horses off the very same fields. While the five boys were fast, and the tire shop successful, that's not the legacy of their time in motorcycle racing. What would become the lasting legacy of the Holbert family and that farm was what we now know as High Point Raceway, which was founded there in September of 1976. The Holberts didn't mean to get into the motocross promotions business, or even opening their farm to public riding, but when Dave Coombs Sr., a friend and local race organizer, found himself in need a of new piece of property to keep his MX business going, it was the Holbert brothers—Carroll and Jack—who suggested he come see their land and the trails the boys had shaped upon it as a possible new raceway. He loved it. One week later the first race on the Holbert family farm, which the men decided to call High Point Raceway, took place. Within a year, High Point was on the outdoor national schedule, where it has remained ever since. High Point Raceway has long been one of the most familiar and respected racing facilities in all of motocross, and even though all of the Holbert boys have long since stopped racing motocross, the pride and love and deep family connections to moto remain. In fact, this month High Point Raceway will celebrate its 37th annual running of it's outdoor national, one of the premier races in all of American motocross. Sadly, this year's race will be the first without its co-founder Carroll Holbert. Carroll passed away in late April, after a full life. He left behind all three of those racing sons, plus his daughters, many more grandchildren, and countless friends and fellow motocross enthusiasts he met along the way, all of whom drove onto his family farm, which they of course knew as High Point Raceway. The races there will go on, and so will the memory of a good man who loved motocross more, and did more for it, than most will ever know. Godspeed, Carroll Holbert. And thank you. 33 The Northeast Area Qualifiers hit close to home and the halfway point of the schedule as the racing headed to Pleasure Valley. WORDS: BRITTANY DENEEN PHOTOGRAPHY: MIMI GREINER Among those who were looking for a qualifying position were those who have already qualified and were out scouting the competition for the regional. Riders from all over came to Pleasure Valley looking to ensure their place at the Red Bull AMA Amateur National Championship, traveling from Florida, Michigan, Virginia, North Carolina, and more. Riders and their supporters are willing to go the distance to join the Loretta's Class of 2013. (Clockwise from left) Brock Papi scored second-place finishes in every moto of both Mini Sr. Limited and Unlimited behind Metamora, Michigan's Joey Crown; Nick Fratz-Orr (38) and Joey DeNeen (22) fight the holeshot in 450 A; Jared Lesher swept both motos of 250 B Limited, and even won a moto in 250 B Unlimited. A s the number of chances to make it to the Northeast Regionals dwindles away, the number of riders still looking to advance or improve upon their qualifying positions remains constant to a certain degree, the end goal being a spot on the gate at Loretta Lynn Ranch come the end of July. 34 THE RACING PAPER T here were some minor changes made to the track for the Area Qualifier. The track normally sweeps uphill and left into a set of rollers across the backside of the track after the finish-line tabletop, but the Pleasure Valley staff rerouted the course at the top of the hill. Instead of hitting the rollers, the riders had to make a sharp left at the top of the hill into an off-camber that led right back up. The riders again made another hard left to reenter the original track layout, right before the long straightaway littered with jumps. This was an interesting change that received mixed reviews from both the riders and spectators. Some found it to be a real challenge and did not care for it much, while others immediately embraced the new design and enjoyed change. (Counterclockwise from top left) Clinton Schaffer swept both motos of Two-Stroke B/C and finished 4th overall in 250 B Limited; Timmy Crosby almost had perfect 1-1 scores in both Schoolboy 1 & 2, but Brad Esper (top left) came in to take the first-moto win in Schoolboy 2. 35 America's Greatest Amateur Race JULY 28 - AUGUST 3 2013 Red Bull AMA Amateur National Motocross Championship NORTHEAST AREA QUALIFIER February 23 & 24 Elizabeth City March 9 & 10 Tomahawk March 23 & 24 Englishtown April 20 & 21 Broome Tioga Sports Center April 27 & 28 Pleasure Valley Raceway Elizabeth City, NC Hedgesville, WV Englishtown, NJ Binghampton, NY Armagh, PA May 11 & 12 High Point Raceway May 18 & 19 Winchester Speed Park May 25 & 26 Birch Creek Motorsports NORTHEAST REGIONAL June 1 & 2 Unadilla - Youth June 29 & 30 Budds Creek - Amateur Mt.

Due to some rain prior to the qualifier weekend, the track was moist for Saturday and had dried up for decent track conditions by Sunday. The weather did not look too promising on Sunday, though. Caught between sunshine and clouds, rain deemed inevitable by the time the last few motos of the weekend rolled around. The riders in those motos faced challenging conditions, as the increasing precipitation turned the track to mud. Quite a few C riders struggled in the turn before the tunnel jump that leads under the bridge. Their exhaustion was apparent as they worked at picking up their bikes, trying their best to make up for lost time. After a long weekend of mixed track conditions, those who managed to make it in the top eight positions of their class can now look forward to preparing for the Northeast Regional. Youth Riders will head to Unadilla, while the rest of the amateur riders will race at Budds Creek. For those who just missed the mark, they had two chances left, at High Point and Winchester Speed Park, and still have one more chance to make it at Birch Creek Motorsports as we go to print.

For 20112012, the honor goes to Josh Liston. Aaron was always trying, no matter the obstacles he encountered on the track or in life. He always strived to move forward the best that he could. We see many of those qualities in Josh. This banner shows Josh back at a High Point Loretta Lynn's Regional Qualifier on a rainy, muddy day. Josh was leading his class and there was only one moto to go to lock down his trip to the Ranch. He came around leading his class and met the deep mud near the sweeping turn. He was stopped and the bike had dug into the deep mud. Josh worked and worked to bring the bike upright as the other riders slipped around him. The spectators were amazed as we all watched Josh working to remove his bike. I chose this picture of Josh and his diligence along with a picture of Aaron and his muddy race. Thank you, Josh, for being who you are! Josh Liston got 4th, 5th and 6th overall in Collegeboy B/C, 450 B Limited and 450 B Unlimited.

WORDS: BRITTANY DENEEN PHOTOGRAPHY: GREINER/LANTZER #98 T he fourth round of the PAMX Thor Spring Series at the legendary Steel City Raceway saw a great turnout and perfect track conditions for the better part of the day. The Racer Productions crew kept up as best as they could, working on several areas in between motos. Despite chilly temperatures and increasingly dusty conditions, it was a wonderful day of racing. The A and B classes normally run five-lap motos with the rest running four, but this time each class got an extra lap, promoting some pretty good battles throughout the day. The battle for second place entertained spectators during the first 250 A moto, as Joey DeNeen, Alex O'Dell, and the trailing John Wells stayed right on each other throughout the moto. O'Dell and DeNeen passed back and forth a couple of times, but DeNeen made the last move to secure the spot behind frontrunner Jason McConnell. Wells settled in behind O'Dell in fourth but came back to win the second moto and claim first overall. Lantzer #98 Greiner (Top to bottom) The downhill after the start straight is always tricky to navigate in the midst of other riders' roost; a packed 250 C Class gets ready to fire off the gate; Broc Streit takes the holeshot in Collegeboy en route to 2-2 finishes behind Alex O'Dell's 1-1 sweep 42 THE RACING PAPER Greiner Greiner Lantzer #98 I n a close top-three battle in the second Open A moto, Ty Newcome, in his first race of the season, edged out second-place DeNeen and third-place O'Dell for second overall. O'Dell was able to take the overall thanks to a first-moto win. In the 250 B motos, some riders were consistent and others just had bad luck. Usual front-runner Timmy Crosby had a mishap going over the roller after the first turn and was only able to muster sixteenth in the first moto. Crosby got back in gear the second time around and took the win. Brock Bell, Josh Liston, and Jarrett Thompson were the top three in the twenty-fourman class, Bell's 2-2 scores topping the inconsistent Crosby and first-moto winner Garrett Smith. Neither C class lacked entrants—Open had twenty-five and 250 was close to a full gate with thirty-three. A nasty crash from Reese Gildea in the first Open C moto resulted in a red-flag restart; Gildea was taken off the track by the medical team but was released without injury after a quick checkup. Cody Carlock took the win after the restart and proceeded to secure the top spot in the remainder of the C-class motos. Another rider who was able to complete a sweep was Vinny Luhovey, who won both 85/150 and Supermini classes in dominant fashion. The little guys on the 50s had a good time spinning laps while their parents got their exercise running around the track to watch every turn. The Women's class had a decent number of riders—six total—but nobody could keep up with Raeslee Weimer, who took wins in both motos. The series will return to Steel City Raceway on May 26 for Round 7. Greiner (Clockwise from left) Jaydon McCurdy went 1-1 in both 50cc 2 and 50cc Open; Jessica Coombs leads Tiffany Palacki and Jennifer Kish out of the first turn, but Raeslee Weimer topped the rest of the ladies in the Women's Class; Angelo Agostinelli went 1-1 in 65cc 7-9; Tristen Walters launches it.

Oh oh, here we go again! Charlie Sheen and Brooke Mueller are at war again, and this time it's Charlie claiming Brooke is a crackhead.
Last week Charlie, Brooke and his "goddesses" vacationed together in the Bahamas, but at some point Charlie sent Brooke back home. We all figured it was because she wasn't into doing porn-ish things with the other girls, but according to Charlie it was because she was smoking crack.
Charlie tells Radaronline that him and his girlfriend found a home made crack pipe, foil, spoons, drug residue and the 33-year-old driver's license which had been used to cut up lines of cocaine, in Brooke's bathroom.
Charlie, being the slick guy that he is, knew Brooke would pull a crazy move on him (like take his kids away) so he took a bunch of photos and has now shared them with Radar.
At this point Brooke can't even deny the allegations so a "friend" confirmed, "She has confirmed she was doing drugs recently, but has been sober for a week."
Showing Radar evidence Charlie said: "Look at what I'm protecting them (the kids) from, her lies, look at absolute chaos."
Everyone's jumping on the 'Charlie is a mess' bandwagon, but Brooke also has her problems. She's been to rehab at least five times for substance abuse and been arrested twice for DUI and damage to property in September of 1996. Later she was arrested for cocaine possession in March of 2001.
