Late in August, the sports cars of the American Le Mans Series rolled onto Belle Isle in Detroit for the 10th round of the '07 schedule. The event marked the first time motorsports competition had alighted on the Isle since the open-wheel CART series last ran there eight years earlier.
With its reputation for bumpy, uneven pavement and precious little passing room, the circuit had fallen from favor with race-sanctioning officials by the late '90s. If racing, and the fans, were to ever return to the Detroit venue, significant changes would have to be made.
Enter racing legend Roger Penske, who led the charge to bring Belle Isle back to racing prominence. Penske, who was instrumental in luring the 2006 Super Bowl to Detroit, felt that returning the Isle to its former motorsports glory would help further revitalize the city's downtown area.
With Penske's backing, major corporate sponsorship-from companies such as GM, Ford, Chrysler, Honda, Acura, Firestone, and Bosch-quickly followed. Before any ignition keys were turned, race organizers had sold 50 corporate hospitality chalets at a price of $50,000 apiece.
With the usual Penske panache, the 983 acres of Belle Isle were transformed into a first-rate racing venue. More than 600,000 square feet of concrete were poured to form the racing paddock, to smooth and widen the racing surface, and to enlarge the parking area. Some of the 14 turns around the 2.07-mile circuit were also expanded, including the critical Turn 1.
Penske's Belle Isle makeover extended beyond the racing circuit itself. For this year's ALMS race, the island was staffed by seemingly thousands of golden-shirted volunteers dispensing directions and other information. At Penske's direction, all of these workers previously had attended "Ambassador School" to receive training in "ultimate customer service." Friendly smiles were everywhere, and questions never elicited the typical blank stare and nebulous reply. By going the extra mile, Penske furnished a first-class experience for the ALMS fans.
When it came to the race, the heated competition in the LMP2 and GT2 ranks only served to highlight the cakewalks unfolding in the other two categories. By the time of the Detroit event, the Audi R10s and the C6.R Corvettes had all but sewn up LMP1 and GT1, respectively. Indeed, outside of a lone Aston fighting the Vettes at Sebring, and a Maserati showing up for Mosport, the two GM-backed entries had faced no class competition at all. Such was the case again on Belle Isle.
Oliver Gavin, driving the No. 4 car, got a little nudge from one of the prototypes during Friday's morning practice session and was forced back to the pits for fresh rear bodywork. With that done, Gavin was back out on course to complete the session and qualify in the afternoon.
While the two Corvette Racing teams epitomize the "all for one and one for all" mentality, when the green flag falls for qualifying, it is truly every man for himself. Jan Magnussen in No. 3 had the better of the No. 4 car this time around and took the GT1 pole. Bragging rights were especially important at this race, since it was held right in the backyard of the major corporate players, and many industry luminaries were on hand to watch.
Saturday's 2-hour, 45-minute race started at 3:00 p.m. and ran under clear skies and relatively moderate temperatures. Even though the Belle Isle course has been improved, it is still very tight, and passing is not easy. As a result, yellow flags were common. These interruptions repeatedly restacked the lineup and provided for tight competition.
The GT1 race between the two Corvettes was well run, even if the result-a C6.R victory-was a foregone conclusion. Both sets of pit crews and drivers performed faultlessly, and the No. 3 car, with Jan Magnussen and Johnny O'Connell sharing the driving duties, took First in class.

Gutsy Barrow AFC roll their sleeves up to see off Luton
Last updated at 16:39, Monday, 04 February 2013
BATTLING Barrow AFC defied the odds by overcoming their defensive frailties and securing a morale-boosting 1-0 win over Conference high-rollers Luton Town.
On the face of it, Dave Bayliss's relegation-haunted side faced a mountainous task to topple the promotion-chasing Hatters, especially having suffered a humbling 6-1 drubbing at the home of the FA Cup giant-killers less than a month earlier.
But the Bluebirds showed no respect for the visitors' superior status as they fought their way to a third successive victory – their best winning run this season – courtesy of Adam Boyes's fifth-minute goal.
If Bayliss's pre-match clarion call was for his players to hustle and cajole Luton out of their comfort zone for the entire 90 minutes then his charges executed the blueprint to stunning effect by producing a display full of passion – and most importantly defensive discipline.
Such a quality was often lacking in the Hatters' make-up, as ironically it was a calamitous defensive error from them which led to Boyes hitting the winner. A sign Luton's immense frustration, in the face of such admirable resistance, manifested itself at the death when defender Lathaniel Rowe-Turner appeared to kick out at Boyes and was subsequently issued with a straight red card.
The spotlight once again glared on Barrow's defensive inadequacies just last week after they conceded more soft goals in their 3-2 FA Trophy win over Gateshead.
But they rarely put a foot wrong against Paul Buckle's men as they mastered the basics and often went beyond the call of duty by throwing their bodies on the line to protect their slender lead.
Barrow were particularly strong down the spine with Mike Pearson delivering an intelligent display at centre-back, while central midfielders James Owen and Richie Barker were tireless and totally committed in their pursuit of possession. Even Boyes played his part in the defensive stakes by never giving Luton's stressed-out rearguard a minute's peace.
An intriguing sub-plot to Saturday's clash could have been billed as the 'Battle of the Big Units' as the physically challenged duo – to put it kindly – of striker Lee McEvilly and centre-back Steve McNulty returned to Holker Street to the sounds of cheers and jeers respectively.
McEvilly, who wrote himself into Barrow folklore by netting the equaliser in their 2-1 FA Trophy final triumph over Stevenage in 2010, received a warm reception when he arrived as a late substitute.
In contrast, McNulty was barracked by a section of fans on his Luton debut having left the Bluebirds to join Fleetwood Town in 2009 in what was a far from an amicable departure.
And how the gleeful crowd revelled in McNulty's trials and tribulations with the defender often looking hurried and shaky in the face of Boyes's constant pressure.
Barrow set a frenetic pace from the first whistle and they were rewarded for their early industry when the home side's leading marksman netted the game's only goal with a neat finish.
Boyes bagged his 14th goal of the season by pouncing on Greg Taylor's stray headed pass before calmly and skilfully lifting the ball over Hatters keeper Mark Tyler and into the net from around the penalty spot.
Half chances came and went as Barrow stopper Danny Hurst parried Ronnie Henry's effort before right-back Matt Flynn headed the ball to safety.
Barrow sustained their high-octane approach, while Buckle's men struggled to find their rhythm, with Pearson typically well placed to snuff out Dave Martin's goal-bound header. In truth, the Bluebirds failed to create many clear-cut chances for much of the first half with Danny L Rowe failing to threaten the Luton goal with a tame cross-cum-shot free-kick before Taylor fired wide and Danny L Rowe blazed over.
Bayliss handed a full debut to centre-back Danny O'Donnell. However, the 26-year-old's afternoon was cut short after he, and Hurst, bravely dived in at the feet of Andre Gray on 31 minutes. With the goal beckoning, the duo's timely intervention ensured the distracted striker lobbed the ball over the bar and onto the roof of the Barrow net.
The close shave came at a cost though as O'Donnell dislocated his shoulder after colliding with Hurst and was replaced by fellow centre-back Sean Hessey shortly before the break. Thankfully Hurst carried on despite also being hurt in the collision.
Not long after O'Donnell's exit, Gray directed his 43rd-minute shot straight at Hurst, while efforts from Danny Rowe and Boyes were kept out by Tyler.
Buckle unleashed midfielder Scott Neilson from his bench at the start of the second half, a move which added more impetus to his side's play, as the substitute exchanged efforts that were blocked with Danny Rowe.
Luton came close to restoring parity on 50 minutes when Gray hit the outside of the near right-hand post with a stinging angled drive.
Barrow refused to go into their shell though, as Danny Rowe and Boyes failed to net with further efforts. But it was their fighting qualities that shone the brightest with excellent edge-of-the-box tackles by James Owen and Gavin Skelton denying shots on-target to Neilson and Alex Lawless respectively.
Owen shot wide, and in the second minute of injury time Luton's misery was complete when Rowe-Turner was dismissed after being fouled by Boyes. The pair tangled and the defender appeared to stamp on Boyes to earn his marching orders. Boyes was booked for his role in the incident.
After the encounter, Bayliss lauded his entire team's defensive efforts, commitment to the cause and rightfully claimed they could have won by a greater margin.
And the boss was particularly thrilled with the positive outcome after being irked by comments which allegedly came out of the Luton camp following his side's recent heavy defeat at Kenilworth Road.
Following Barrow's second home league win of the campaign, Bayliss said: "It's a good win because Luton are a big club and I thought we owed them one because I never thought we did ourselves justice at Luton and I was a bit disappointed with comments from their camp after the game about how poor we were and how good they were.
"But we showed them that we can compete at this level and as I've said it's not about ability, it's about the heart and the will to win. You get further in life, in whatever job you do, if you have that and all our lads showed that more than Luton."

Have your say
Start moaning don't have a football team what a joke 8-1 they are a disgrace.
All these comments of fans not turning up are pathetic.
I managed to drag 2 mates along to the Luton game who had not been since wembley a couple of seasons back.
They loved it, they couldn't understand how a team that played aswel as afc did that night were at the bottom.
THEN, I got 4of us to go to Mansfield by car yesterday, that's when we all realised why were at the bottom. We have no defence at all.
It's safe to say us 4 will not be returning to holler street as long as the muppets running the show are still in charge. Total disgrace.

From my Forbes.com blog The New Persuaders:
After a rocky several months following its May IPO, Facebook finally provided some good news today as it reported third-quarter financial results that outpaced Wall Street expectations.
The key number: 36%. That's the rate at which advertising revenues grew. And it's noticeably higher than ad sales growth in the second quarter, which had flagged at 28%. Excluding the impact of foreign currency changes, ad sales would have risen 43% in the third quarter.
Mobile revenues, a key metric for a company that until recently had zero mobile ad revenues and offered little of note to its mobile users, were 14% of the total $1.09 billion in ad sales.
The other key number: 9%. That's how much shares are rising in after-hours trading. Shares of FB rose a little less than 1%, to $19.50, in trading today. That's still only a little over half of the IPO price.
* Update: Make that 20%+. After sleeping on it, investors like the results even better the next morning.
Facebook still faces many challenges, such as the need to provide a better mobile experience for users and advertisers. And thanks to rising expenses, including stock compensation and related costs–up 64% from a year ago–it's actually losing money on a GAAP basis. But if advertising is returning, whether it's from more interest in its social and mobile ads, in the Facebook ad exchange that's getting a lot of attention, or even in the new Gifts e-commerce service, that's good news.
We'll hear more from CEO Mark Zuckerberg shortly when Facebook conducts its analyst earnings call at 2 p.m. Pacific. I'll blog the highlights here, but you can also listen to the livestream.
The call begins. Zuckerberg will talk about the vision and strategy of the company–make the world more connected, etc. Three pillars to the strategy:
1) Build the best mobile product. This is the most misunderstood pillar. Mobile allows us to reach way more people, people spend more time on mobile devices, and monetization should be even better than on the desktop.
2) Improve the Facebook platform.
3) Strong monetization engine. On mobile, ads will be more like TV–more integrated into the core product experience, rather than on the side. We're starting to see better ad products for people and better results for advertisers.
I want to dispose of this notion that we can't make money on mobile. Until recently, Facebook didn't even try. …

Power Functions Remote Control Sensor for NXT
This solution is a kludge. It requires several expensive and heavy LEGO electrical parts, and also requires the Education version of the NXT-G software or the Legacy Block Library add-on, but it's all snap-together with LEGOs with no external hardware or software, so if you happen to have the parts already, then it's easy to get it to work.
I am showing this mainly to call attention to a question: There are apparently 3rd party IR Link sensors available for the NXT now (and a couple of nice home-brew ones have been demonstrated), but does anyone want to offer an opinion about whether there is a solution out there that is friendly enough for kids to use with only NXT-G? Note that I am not talking about controlling PF motors from the NXT, or just powering the NXT motors directly from the PF stuff(which can be done with LEGO's adapter wires), but rather giving wireless PF remote control input to your NXT-G program in an easy and reliable way.

This is a nice solution, although there are a few points to mention. First, you don't need the Educational version of NXT-G: the retail version can import new NXT-G blocks, and the "legacy" blocks have been available on the MINDSTORMS support page, so that's not a limit. Using the old rotation sensors is a bit tougher to work around, but not too hard. Put a clutch gear or pulley on the medium PF motor, and have to drive a second gear or pulley with a "flag" (half the gear is colored black, half white, or something similar). Use a rubber band so that when undriven, the "flag" is oriented with the edge right in front of a light sensor. Now when the motor is driven CW, the light sensor will report one extreme ("light"), when driven the other way it will report the other extreme ("dark"), and if undriven the rubber band will return it to neutral ("grey"). Now you have a "translation system" that depends only on the PF motors and the stock NXT light sensors, plus other parts.
Yes, I'd love a direct system as well (where the NXT could "read out" the IR control signals via the Hitechnic IRLink, for example), but it doesn't seem to exist yet... and honestly, with all the new information still being released about the future of the PF line, I'd rather wait a bit to make sure it handles "the kitchen sink".

Nice solution :)
As Dave said you can download the sensor blocks and install them within the retail version.
More information is here
Please note that you need to install the component of your language version.
This is advanced usage, so please spend some time in reading (and understanding) the readme.txt files before installing these components.
!! It is always a good thing to backup (copy) your own created code, before you change the NXT-G software, don't forget the myblocks.

Why not use bluetooth mobile phone as remote controller? Especially now almost every kids has a mobile phone. You can program a really kids friendly application in java if you don't like the Lego one. I also believe there's already plenty on internet you can download for free.

There are two problems I see with BT phones as remote controls. First, there are a lot of different phones out there, each of which will take a slightly different technique or program. Another issue is that almost all the BT cell phone apps I've seen send direct commands, turning the NXT into a "dumb remote"... while using something like an IRLink as a "sensor" potentially allows the NXT to be running a program at the time. For instance, I use this with Serenity, because if the remote control system goes out for any reason, I don't want the boat to just "drive off into the sunset".

Thanks for pointing out the Legacy Block Library for NXT-G, I edited the web page and blog entry to mention it.
For other solutions, remember that I have young kids in mind here. I would like to see LEGO (or somebody else) come out with a good remote control solution that works reliably with minimal to no fussing required. I don't know if this is Bluetooth or PF, but there is already a Bluetooth block in NXT-G, so if there was an NXT Bluetooth remote that just worked out of the box, then that would be great, because no software update would be required. I would "endorse" it on my web site and post projects for it, but I cannot recommend the state of Bluetooth today to a broad audience of kids...

Would be interesting to see a diff between the two motors and calc the inputs from One speed sensor! you would need to gear one motor though because +1 and -1 add to 0
drive motors at ratio of 1:2 and its easy.

The IRLink from both Mindsensors and HiTechnic has in/out with the RCX, which means that the old RCX remote control should be usable as remote. I have not tried it yet, but it sounds plausible. Will post more after I try.

Hey y'all I rally need see help with using power function M motor I believe is the size. But I am not buildng robots. I'm building midway carnival rides and I would really lie to know I'd the speed of the motor is variable using any special part? Or Is it just that one really fast set speed originally !? Please help me. Also can the motor be operated with a remote control and is there a way to transform the power to a wall plug instead of 6! AA'S BATTS??

By MICHAEL WARDLAW
Starkville High School junior Devin Mitchell was shot and killed in the early morning hours of New Year's Day at Ridgewood Apartments in West Point.
A Clay County 911 operator received a call reporting gunshots fired near the apartment complex at approximately 3 a.m. Sunday. Officers arrived at the scene and found Mitchell, 16, wounded by a gunshot. He was transported to North Mississippi Medical Center in Tupelo and died as a result of his injuries.
The West Point Police Department arrested Tavaris F. Collins, 31, and charged him with murder. The incident is still under investigation, and no further details were released at press time.
Mitchell, a standout running back for the Yellowjackets, recently helped his teammates reach the Mississippi Class 5A title game after completing a perfect season during regional play.
His loss leaves the Starkville community saddened.
In a statement released by the school district, Interim Superintendent Beth Sewell called Mitchell a student of great promise.
"The Starkville School District is deeply saddened by Devin's tragic death," she said. "... His untimely death is a grievous loss to the Yellowjacket family. Our hearts go out to Devin's family, friends and classmates. We ask that you remember them and the entire Starkville High School family in your thoughts and prayers during this very difficult time."
While Devin Mitchell will be missed by his family and friends, SHS head football coach Jamie Mitchell said he feels the loss as well.
"I'm heartbroken. All I can think of is his mom and dad," Jamie Mitchell said. "He is one of those kids that has been raised by great parents, and that's about all I can think of right now — the loss they are feeling. I can't even imagine what they are going through. Things like that just don't seem to have any reason what so ever.
"He was fantastic," Jamie Mitchell added. "He was always in the weight room first. He had a tremendous smile. He was a kid that would do anything in the world for you. He was one of our best team leaders. There are just no words good enough to tell you how good of a person he was."

Item Code: AF-P2000
Availability: In stock
Airfree is the right solution for allergy and asthma suffers. It is also highly indicated for mold problems.
This is the air purifier which uses heated air to destroy airborne mold, bacteria, viruses, dust mites, and pollens. Unlike commonly available ionic units, it does not produce harmfully elevated ozone levels; it also reduces existing indoor ozone, which the America Lung Association indicates can be a serious respiratory irritant and asthma trigger. With no filters to replace or clean, the compact cleaner pulls air into the internal chamber which is heated to 392F to silently destroy airborne mold, bacteria, viruses, pet dander, pollen and common household dust mites in a room up to 450 sq. ft. and 550 sq. ft.. Despite its high internal heat level, the purifier will not change the room temperature. For the highest level of air purification, it is recommended for use 24-hours a day, every day, yet it draws less power than a 60-watt light bulb. A soothing adjustable night light is built in. 10 1/2" H x 8 1/2" Diam. (2 1/2 lbs.)
Independent Tests
Airfree is the only air purifier manufacturer that publishes full tests clearly indicating its efficiency in tested rooms. Guaranteed airborne microorganism reduction with Airfree as seen in the tests section (link)
Customers should ask each air purifier manufacturer for efficiency independent tests (full tests like Airfree has, showing equipment testing procedures, room size, and effective results in the room, not projections). Customers have the right to know average airborne microorganism and mold reduction after an air purifier is placed in the room
|Ozone Free
According to the FDA (U.S. Food & Drug Administration) Ozone generators and ionizers currently in the market generate ozone by design or as a byproduct. Since exposure to ozone above certain concentration can be injurious to health, please read carefully what FDA has to say. Please visit their web site:
Some texts:
" Ozone is a toxic gas with no known useful medical application in specific, adjunctive, or preventive therapy. In order for ozone to be effective as a germicide, it must be present in a concentration far greater than that which can be safely tolerated by man and animals."
"Although undesirable physiological effects on the central nervous system, heart, and vision have been reported, the predominant physiological effect of ozone is primary irritation of the mucous membranes. Inhalation of ozone can cause sufficient irritation to the lungs to result in pulmonary edema. The onset of pulmonary edema is usually delayed for some hours after exposure; thus, symptomatic response is not a reliable warning of exposure to toxic concentrations of ozone. Since olfactory fatigue develops readily, the odor of ozone is not a reliable index of atmospheric ozone concentration."
Can one family be safe at home with an ozone generator?
Airfree reduces 26% of Ozone instead.
Airfree is the only air purifier offering Ozone reduction.
Ozone destroys lung tissue, triggers asthma and other respiratory diseases. Customers should check EPA and FDA for additional articles and warnings about air purifiers that generate ozone.
Customers must make sure that the air purifier they select does not generate ozone (directly or as a byproduct). Independent ozone tests should be requested from all manufacturers.
Place Airfree on the floor and plug it in to nearest electric outlet.
|Totally Silent
Some air purifiers, like Hepa filters, must operate fans at high speed to reach their highest purification level. Customers must make sure they can sleep with such noise.
Airfree is totally silent.
|Clean and environmental friendly tecnology
Airfree offers exceptional performance and it is harmless to the environment.
No glass filter fibers, triclosan-coated paper or any kind of material that can be harmful to the environmente when wasted.
Airfree uses just heat. No additional V.O.C.' s are generated. No dangerous Ozone generated. No filters or UV Lights to replace.
|Easy to Use
Take Airfree from the package and read the instruction manual carefully.
Then, place Airfree on the floor and plug it to the nearest electric outlet.
After several minutes please make sure, top lid is warm.
Do not install Airfree over or under furniture, as that will disrupt Airfree's airflow and reduce its efficiency.
Airfree has enough capacity for the average room as stated in "Airfree Characteristics". If Airfree is placed in rooms larger than its capacity, it will not work properly. Therefore, for larger rooms install additional Airfree units.
|Energy Efficient
Airfree extraordinary new technology was designed for a 24/7 usage without a jump in electricity consumption.
Airborne allergens such as pollen, mold spores, cat or dog dander, ozone, house dust mite skeleton and excrements trigger allergic reactions to sensitized individuals.
We spend an average of 90% of our lives indoors
|Maintenance Free
|Replacement Filters can cost $ 150,00 or more a year. UV bulbs also cost dozens of dollars. Why spend time buying and searching replacement parts when safer Airfree Technology can be used instead?

Considering that hot-rodding is a visceral hobby defined by smoke, flames, and deafeningly loud sonic pulses, it's only natural that we gravitate toward the mechanical components that create these intoxicating sensations. In the quest for big compression, big cams, big rpm, big horsepower, big-stall converters, and big tires, rehabilitating the interior is often an afterthought. The irony is that the cockpit is where you'll be spending most of your time once that hot rod hits the road, and as such, getting poked and prodded by broken seat springs in a ratty interior gets real old, real fast. The good news is that interior restoration doesn't have to break the bank thanks to companies like TMI Products. It offers everything from seat covers to headliners to carpet to door panels to center consoles for your Bow Tie. If you have the chops to assemble a short-block from scratch, chances are you can tackle recovering the seats, too. In order to get a better handle on all the different available options when restoring a muscle car interior, we sat down with Tim King of TMI Products to get the details in addition to some helpful DIY tips.
New Player
Although TMI Products might not yet be a household name amongst Bow Tie enthusiasts, the company has been offering top-notch restoration components for decades. The company was founded in 1982 by four brothers, the Taccinardi's, who began building Volkswagen door panels in their parent's garage. More than 30 years later, TMI has expanded into the muscle car market, now offering seat covers, sun visors, headliners, consoles, and replacement carpet kits. Throughout its history, TMI has placed on emphasis on matching the fabrics, stitching, and overall quality of its interior restoration components to OEM manufacturing specifications. Today, the company designs and manufactures all of its products onsite at its 139,000 square-foot facility based in Corona, California. "Our Chevy products are our newest product line, and we are aggressively expanding our catalog to encompass more GM models. We currently offer a full range of interior restoration products for first-gen Camaros and 1964-72 Chevelles and El Caminos," TMI's Tim King explains.
Seat Restoration Kits
Aftermarket racing buckets offer the ultimate in lateral support for track-oriented applications, but aren't always the ideal solution for cruisers and street machines. As a cost-effective alternative, TMI offers seat restoration kits that allow replacing the worn-out factory seat covers and foam. "Since most aftermarket seats are universal and aren't designed specifically for a certain make and model of car, color matching can be a problem, and there are lots of headaches associated with sorting out the seat tracks and seating position," Tim explains. TMI's seat foam is manufactured from flexible polystyrene, injection-molded foam for comfort and durability, and attaches directly to the factory seat frame for easy installation. "Replacing only the foam and upholstery allows people to transform stock seats into a more performance-oriented seat that looks custom. Our seat restoration kits are available with additional bolstering as well."
DIY Cost Savings
Some enthusiasts think they need to take their seats to an upholstery shop for a set of custom covers. Since TMI's seat cover and foam replacement kits can be installed at home by any competent DIYer, they offer substantial cost savings over custom upholstery. "A full custom interior shop could charge anywhere from $3,000-$6,000 or even more to restore the front and rear seats, whereas our seat restoration kits can be purchased for about $800 for the front and rear," says Tim. "Since we are a large scale manufacturing facility, we have an assembly line that significantly reduces costs on our upholstery. This allows somebody to pick up a set of Sport-R seat covers which look custom, but for a fraction of the cost of a custom one-off interior."
Spring Replacement
Assessing the condition of seat upholstery is easy enough, but what about the springs? "Once you have removed the factory upholstery and stripped the seat down to a bare frame and spring assembly, you'll want to inspect them just like any other part on the car. The big thing to look for are broken springs," Tim explains. "After 40 years of use, it's common for them to break. You can either replace only the broken springs, proactively replace all the springs, or buy all new frames and springs. All three options are available through Ground Up (ss396.com). As an added bonus, they are also an authorized TMI dealer."

VIP Packages
Well I`m very disappointed with Korn. I had purchased a VIP package to get drum lesson from Ray in Boston, driving 5 hours from Montreal to do this. Now they call me 2 days before to tell me that due to some logistic problem, they cannot offer this to me anymore. They reimburse the package but not the ticket. And they are not willing to give any priority to futur package that might come in my area. Very very disappointed with the manner in which this is handle. I can understand having some problems, but not trying to make it easier in the furtur sucks, Apparently they don`t have the systems to handle a waiting list???

Re: VIP Packages
I wound not necessarily be pissed at KoRn. I already went into this knowing from friends that have seen shows and M&G or other packages through ground control.....things ehhh were kinda robotic if that is the correct word. Sorry to hear.
I bought the Guitar VIP package and a little worried that it disappeared from the show link. Usually I thought it still shows it but says "sold out". I hope I don't get fucked out of it.
Re: VIP Packages
why have they disappeared? i am coming from uk for this .

what does a average 40 year old woman look like
Feb 06 '13 at 05:59
like a 40 year old man with gray hairs
Depends a lot on the genes....plus eating habits, skin care, exercise and the pride you take in your appearance....that added maintenance we need in our 60's. However the thought process has a lot to do with it....I want to stay young so I do dress a bit different than many my age, makeup a must, color those gray, and you may be a grandmother and mature in your thinking but that does not mean we can not enjoy things that we did in our 50's or try the things we never got to do....think young and you will be surprised. I am thankful for my European genes...I am a young 63...most think I am in my mid 50's....I want to stay young and take pride in looking and acting young...but with respect...
I feel 50ish so I dress and act it...age is a number and I am not ready for the granny look....but there are things to pass on.
well its not like i am trying to start something or create a scene here but why would you ask a question like this...

When Midland, Michigan-based independent automotive designer Don Johnson and Pacific Northwest customiser Dean 'Dino' Arnold decided to create their version of a 21st century Corvette, they were somewhat taken aback by the degree of interest shown by all and sundry. Dino already enjoyed quite a reputation for his work from followers of Washington's hot rodding and custom scene, and Don (an employee on General Motors' staff roster from 1969-1984) was a key player in both Camaro and Corvette design. The Avelate is the inspired result of their combined ingenuity.
The two buddies debuted their first C5-based Avelate-which means to achieve the highest quality-a couple of years ago. It's fair to say that since the launch, there haven't been enough hours in the day to keep on top of the demand for their wares, which are offered in three guises: Speedster, Convertible, and Split-Window. Although an example of the latter was unavailable for the photo shoot, one can glean an idea of matters from the two variants shown on these pages.
They were brought down to SoCal to tempt the movie studios into product placement, so to speak, and it's fair to say that in this respect, the enterprising company succeeded in spades. Watch out for the cars to appear on both small- and large silver-screen productions down the road, as well as playing a head-turning role in the life of anyone with around $100,000 to spend on a pretty wild version of what is regarded simply as an American icon-in much the same way as the ubiquitous Harley-Davidson is the two-wheel equivalent. Okay, so H-D celebrated its 100th birthday in 2003 whilst the Corvette has been around for exactly half this time, but both eminent marques are highly regarded by legions of loyal owners.
Purists may feel that messing with the Bowling Green, Kentucky, offering is a heinous offence, though with the West Coast being a hotbed of customising, it's fair to say that there's no shortage of folk willing to dig deep for a car that's certainly different.
The Avelate Corvette conversion cleverly incorporates a medley of styling cues from yesteryear models: side scallops are reminders of the '56-62 versions, the aft treatment reminds one of the '63-67 years, the front end has lines akin to the '68-82 models, and the grille is based on that fitted to the inaugural-year offering from Chevrolet. Add more than a hint of Mako Shark-styling and you could say that there's literally something to please all aficionados of the marque-whatever their generation of preference.
The handcrafted Evercoat Fibre Glass Products body is extremely well finished, and the design has more sex appeal than Britney Spears. Of the original body with which the car left the assembly line, only the interior lower valance is retained, along with the door handles and mirrors. Everything else has to go to make way for the major metamorphosis where the car is transformed from chic stock to street shock. For men of a certain age, it may seem pure automotive Viagra, but the "wow" factor is evident on both of these models.
Avelate's Speedster demonstrator is based on a '99 C5 that has the raked windscreen chopped by a whopping 10 inches. Along with the custom two-tone yellow leather/black suede interior treatment, rollbar hoops behind the headrests, and tapered tail-end treatment, these four modifications alone make heads swivel-to say nothing of the House of Kolor custom-mix Purple Pearl paint scheme and novel combination of 18x9 plus 20x10 Big Daddy rims mounting BFGoodrich fat-footprint G-Force T/A Z-rated rubber.

On July 4, our members celebrated our country's birthday at the annual 4th of July Member Celebration!
Decked in patriotic garb, members participated in activities including face painting, a patriotic light show and bubble-making on the terrace. They also made s'mores using a solar oven, launched "Alka-Seltzer rockets," and witnessed what happens when you mix Diet Coke and Mentos (hint: think the-soda-version-of-fireworks)!

"Dolphin Tale" is inspired by the amazing true story of a brave dolphin and the compassionate strangers who banded together to save her life. Swimming free, a young dolphin is caught in a crab trap, severely damaging her tail. She is rescued and transported to the Clearwater Marine Hospital, where she is named Winter. But her fight for survival has just begun. Without a tail, Winter's prognosis is dire "Dolphin Tale," today serves as a symbol of courage, perseverance and hope to millions of people-both able and disabled-who have been touched by her remarkable story of recovery and rehabilitation.

Comprising only a small share of all immigrants in the United States, the foreign born from Taiwan seem to embody the very spirit of the Asian Tiger. As of 2010, Taiwanese immigrants exhibited extremely high levels of educational attainment; a notable tendency toward homeownership; and elevated rates of employment in management, business, information technology, and certain other professional, science, and engineering fields compared to the foreign-born population overall.
From rather humble beginnings, the Chinese immigrant population in the United States has grown steadily since the 1960s to reach about 1.8 million in 2010. Compared to the foreign born overall, Chinese immigrants report higher levels of educational attainment, are less likely to live in households with an annual income below the poverty line, and are substantially more likely to have naturalized as U.S. citizens.
More than 1 million people became legal permanent residents (LPRs) in the United States in 2010. Nearly two-thirds of new LPRs are immigrants with family ties in the United States, report MPI's Carola Balbuena and Jeanne Batalova in this updated look at the latest statistics on legal immigration.
At just under 517,000, immigrant apprehensions in 2010 were the lowest they have been in nearly 40 years. Sheida Elmi and Kristen McCabe analyze the most recent immigration enforcement data on apprehensions, detentions, removals, and returns of noncitizens in the United States.
Of the 14.8 million union members in 2010, 12 percent were foreign born. MPI's Jeanne Batalova examines the data on immigrant participation in the U.S. labor force and unions.
This book reflects the effort of the Transatlantic Council on Migration to map how profound demographic change is likely to affect the size and character of global migration flows; and how governments can shape immigration policy in a world increasingly attuned to the hunt for talent.
Drawing on several sources of survey data, this report will examine the major contours of American public opinion toward immigration and immigration policy.
This exploratory study provides an unprecedented assessment of the "brain-waste" phenomenon in the United States—a serious waste of human capital resulting from the unemployment or underemployment of highly skilled college-educated immigrants.
This pocket guide compiles some of the most credible, accessible, and user-friendly government and non-governmental data sources pertaining to U.S. and international migration. The guide also includes additional links to relevant organizations, programs, research, and deliverables, along with a glossary of frequently used immigration terms.
This fact sheet provides a demographic portrait of foreign-born veterans of the U.S. armed forces. By analyzing data from the U.S. Census Bureau's 2007 American Community Survey, this fact sheet examines foreign-born veterans' countries of origin, states of residence, and periods of service.
This report examines the large presence of unauthorized and mixed-status families, and the growing size of the second generation and its concerns within Los Angeles County and in California, drawing comparisons to broader national demographic trends and rationales for immigrant integration.
Over 100 million migrants live in the more developed regions of the world, including nine million in Northern Europe, 22 million in Western Europe and 38 million in the United States. This report takes a closer look at the challenges of immigration for Western countries.
This report offers a series of original charts that depict the characteristics of recent immigrants who are representative of those likely to be affected by the proposed merit-based points system for selecting permanent immigrants to the United States.

By the time everyone starts reading this story, we'll be kicking off the 2013 Super Chevy Show season at Palm Beach International Raceway. Hard to believe that 2012 is already in the books, and 2013 is starting up!
Finishing up 2012 was the Rockingham show, and just like in 2011, it didn't disappoint. The stands were packed, race cars were flying, and the car show entries were top-notch, with a great variety for us to look at. We can't to be back at The Rock in 2013!
The Man Behind the ScenesWe had a chance to sit down with Rockingham owner Steve Earwood and talk to him about a variety of things. Steve has been involved with the Super Chevy Show series nearly back to its inception in the early '80s, when he helped promote the first events at Maple Grove, Indy, and Palm Beach.
Steve also directed NHRA's national media program for 11 seasons, was Marketing Vice President of Billy Meyer's Texas Motorplex, Vice President and General Manager of Atlanta Dragway and Public Relations consultant to Raymond Beadle's Blue Max NASCAR Racing Team when it won the Winston Cup championship (with driver Rusty Wallace) in 1989. He also worked for/with IHRA for a number of years, until he purchased Rockingham Dragway from the L.G. DeWitt family in 1992.
"Nothing is like it was 25 years ago when this series first started. But you follow the same principle of running a track you did then—adapt to fill the needs of your customers."
Steve says today's racing fan is a much more casual one, and that requires changing how the various racing programs are set up at the track. One advantage he points out with being an independent track versus corporately owned is being able to change and adapt more quickly. North Carolina has 21 dragstrips currently operating in its borders, more than any other state than Texas, so competition is tough. One thing he says Rockingham does is always offer the best track surface possible for racers. Brand-new, not used, top fuel slicks are used to drag Rockingham's surface. And for 2013, the track is working on new major events along with continuing improvements and upgrades to the facility.

Kanopy is a streaming video platform with more than 8,000 films from a variety of important collections and producers, including the California Newsreel, Green Planet, PBS, BBC Active, and Stanford Executive Briefings collections.
Guest curated by graduate student Katie Wills
Stories from people who were children during World War II and the objects in this exhibit animate the past and inform us of a time when war took over daily life. "Retrospect is a very interesting thing," says Ruthie Kallnder. "At the time I don't recall any of the information we got as being propaganda," but the government tried to influence children to make "necessary" sacrifices. Propagandists made the war a battle between good and evil, democracy and fascism. They also asked children to share in the war effort. In response, many children took on more responsibilities. Ruthie explains that boys and girls felt "if that's what it was going to take" to win they "were willing to do it." The memories of the people in this exhibit and their wartime actions show the power of propaganda's messages and its lasting affect on their lives. Propaganda posters, children's books, and classroom assignments demonstrate how propagandists reached children and involved them in the national war effort.

The Mississippi State baseball hasn't had to climb a mountain in the early going of the 2013 season.
Saturday night the Bulldogs found themselves down three runs in the middle of the ballgame, but found a way to win down the stretch.
"There is going to be plenty of times the rest of the season that we're down," MSU junior center fielder C.T. Bradford said. "It's just a matter of how we handle that and we did a great job (Saturday)."
The Bulldogs (8-0) knocked off Purdue (3-4) 7-6 in comeback fashion in the second game of Saturday's Diamond Classic presented by Polk's Meat Products.
"I'm really proud of our club," MSU head coach John Cohen said. "We fell behind early in this ballgame and found a way to get back in the middle of this. Kids didn't stop competing even though we did some things that are uncharacteristic."
The Bulldogs committed four errors in the game, but overcame the miscues to claim the victory.
"This game was a little ugly for us in some ways, but it's a character builder in some ways," Cohen said.
"Good teams can play poorly at times, still find a way to win and I think that's what happened (Saturday)."
The Bulldogs found themselves down 5-2 going to the bottom of the fifth inning. They started chipping away.
MSU junior shortstop Adam Frazier led off the inning with a single to left field. He scored on Trey Porter's fielder's choice. Tyler Fullerton came into pinch run for Porter. He scored on a RBI single by Alex Detz to make it 5-4.
The Bulldogs added three more in the sixth inning highlighted by Hunter Renfroe's two-run triple to deep right field to make it 7-5.
"Our offense came to play (Saturday) I thought," Renfroe said. "We hit the ball really well."
MSU scored with two runs in the bottom of the second inning. Daryl Norris doubled down the left field line to score Detz and freshman Jacob Robson.
Purdue scored four runs four runs in the top of the fourth inning thanks to two Bulldog errors.
They added one more on Kyle Wood's solo home run to right field to take a 5-2 lead.
MSU sophomore right hander Jonathan Holder came into pitch the ninth inning. He ran into some trouble.
Holder gave up his first hit of the season to leadoff batter and pinch hitter Michael Mullen.
He got the next two batters, a Kyle Hann threw the possible last out into right field allowing Mullen to score.
Holder got Wood to ground to him for the final out and his third save of the season. He is now tied for 10th all time at Mississippi State with 12 saves. He is tied with Mike Martin, Jon Harden and Caleb Reed.
MSU starter Kendall Graveman pitched 3.1 innings. He gave up four runs on six hits. He walked one batter and struck out another in the no decision.
"Kendall did not have the stuff he is going to normally have," Cohen said. "He's coming along slowly after his surgery."
MSU senior left hander Chad Girodo (1-0) was credited with the win. He pitched 1.1 innings. He gave up no runs, no hits and struck out two batters.
Brett Andrzejewski (0-1) took the loss for the Boilermakers. He pitched 0.2 of an inning. He gave up two runs on three hits.
Purdue was led offensively by Josh Estill's three hits.
The Bulldogs got three hits from Renfroe. They got two hits from both Bradford and Norris.
"That was an awesome win," Bradford said. "It's awesome. (It was a) team effort and we did a great job."
First Game
Mississippi State 8,
Samford 2
The Bulldogs opened the day with a revenge win over the Samford Bulldogs.
Samford beat Mississippi State twice last year in the Tallahassee Regional to end MSU's season.
"We came out here (Saturday) with just wanting to put it on them," Bulldog redshirt sophomore left hander Ross Mitchell said. "They really disappointed us last year. We threw our best against them and they still beat us. We wanted to attack them early and we were able to do that."
Ross Mitchell (2-0) came in relief of junior right hander Evan Mitchell to get the win.
"Ross just pitched outstanding," Cohen said. "Our guys in inner squads don't like facing Ross Mitchell at 3 or 4 o'clock in the afternoon dealing with all the shadows and things of that nature."
Ross pitched six innings in relief. He gave up one run on four hits. He struck out four batters and only walked one.
Ross retired 11 batters in a row at one point.
"Just wanted to go outside on them pretty much and then I'd go in late," Ross Mitchell said. "They were hitting ground balls and we were making plays. I was able to get under their bats."
Evan Mitchell pitched the first three innings. He gave up one run on no hits.
The Bulldogs got things going with three runs in both the first and second innings.
Hunter Renfroe hit his second home run of the weekend to deep left field in the fourth inning to give MSU a 7-1 lead.
"He left it up," Renfroe said. "That's what I was waiting on. I was ready for something dying over the plate and that's what he left me, a fastball and I hit it really hard."
They added one more in the seventh inning.
Samford's C.K. Irby (1-1) pitched two innings and gave up six runs on seven hits to get the loss.
MSU was led offensively with Adam Frazier who had three hits.
Samford (4-2) plays Purdue at 11 a.m. today. Mississippi State takes on Samford at around 2 p.m.
MSU will either go with sophomore right hander Will Cox or sophomore righty Trevor Fitts today on the mound.
