Rodeo returning with some new attractions
Bringing boots and bucks, rodeo rolls into city
Show focuses on agribusiness, aids students, and tips hat to traditions

Dust off that felt Stetson, pull on that pearl snap and embrace that cowboy culture. It's rodeo time in Houston.
For the next three weeks, the Bayou City will welcome a stampede of blue jeans and cowboy boots as Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo visitors adopt a cowboy demeanor and embrace the Western heritage.
Indeed, the city's Western heritage is rich. The first stock show was designed to draw attention to Houston as a cattle-raising center in 1932. Six years later, a rodeo was added.
Seventy-nine years later, the show has transformed into a massive event that continually redefines rodeo and attracts more than 2 million visitors annually, said Leroy Shafer, the show's chief operating officer.
This year's Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo will kick off Tuesday at Reliant Park and run until March 20.
Rodeo-goers can expect to enjoy the world's first invitation-only Super Shootout, a new multimillion-dollar educational Horticulture Program and two new rodeo events in addition to the usual award-winning barbecue, performances by the biggest names in the music industry and the world's largest livestock show.
"In addition to our great returning events and displays, we have added a whole new element to what has been the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo with our Super Shootout: North America's Champions," Shafer said.
Forty of North America's greatest rodeo champions are descending upon Houston to clash spurs and compete in the show's ground-breaking new event in which champion athletes will compete in four RodeoHouston fan-favorite events, officials said.
The biggest change in the sport of rodeo in recent history, this one-night rodeo scheduled for March 20, will feature champion athletes from the top 10 rodeos in North America, determined primarily by total purse, said Skip Wagner, Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo president.
They will compete in bareback riding, barrel racing, bull riding and saddle bronc riding for a total purse of $200,000.
"It's amazing what Houston is trying to do. They are changing a lot of things about how rodeo is done," said Kaycee Feild, bareback riding champion competing in the Super Shootout.
Last year set record
The Shootout is being held in addition to the Super Series, the annual rodeo competition where spectators can watch the sport's top cowboys and cowgirls compete in bull riding, barrel racing, bronc riding and more. The 19-performance series runs from Tuesday to March 19, and the cash commitment for contestants exceeds $1.7 million.
Indoor attractions at Reliant Center include pony rides, petting zoos, a school art display, a Fun on the Farm exhibit and other agricultural displays.
Officials are trying to revamp some areas of the Livestock Show and Rodeo to draw new spectators and competitors and to exceed last year's record-breaking attendance of 2.14 million visitors, rodeo officials said.
Also expected to draw new attendees is the Horticulture Program, which will include competitions, horticulture displays and educational seminars.
One component of the new program is the Horticulture Exhibit, where visitors can get hands-on with live earthworms, create earthworm farms, learn how to construct a composting bin and plant a seed to take home and watch grow.
"Everyone can take a journey underground into a worm hole," Shafer said.
From Gene Autry to KISS
This year's innovative rodeo events and exhibits are a far cry from the rodeo's modest origins.
Founded as a livestock exhibition when cattle vastly outnumbered people in the region, the Houston show gradually added its Western theme and entertainment to draw more visitors.
Gene Autry debuted as the first star entertainer in 1942. Since then, more than 350 entertainers have performed, including Elvis Presley.
This year's entertainment lineup kicks off with Clay Walker and includes Lady Antebellum, Brad Paisley, Kid Rock, Jason Aldean and KISS.
Aside from 20 nights of musical entertainment, there are livestock competitions where students can earn thousands of dollars in scholarship money, Wagner said.
The show contributes more than $16 million to Texas youth each year.
Mounted shooting event
Additionally, there will be a Floriculture Face-off in which professional florists will compete using only supplied materials in timed events.
The face-off will take place in the Main Arena. Professional florists will be given materials and a theme, on the spot, and asked to create a floral design. Visitors can watch while the florists are designing, and the judging will be open to the public as well.
RodeoHouston is also bringing cowboy mounted shooting to the rodeo competition. In this event, contestants run through a set course, firing two .45-caliber single-action revolvers with a range of about 15 feet at balloons.
"We have something for everyone this year, and we expect our new programs will be of tremendous interest to our visitors," Shafer said.

Book Description: Black Flagged
A graduate of the Department of Defense's experimental Black Flag program, Daniel Petrovich carries secrets he'd rather keep buried. Secrets his government has hidden in the deepest vaults of the Pentagon. Unfortunately for Daniel, someone is trying to raise Black Flag from the dead and bring Daniel back with it. Someone who knows all of his darkest secrets.
In exchange for the promise of a clean slate and a chance to keep the life he has built with the woman he loves, he agrees to carry out one final mission.
Daniel's life is about to disintegrate, as he becomes the focus of a relentless FBI manhunt and the target of a vengeful CIA agent. To survive, he'll be forced to release a dark side he fought for years to keep suppressed. A dark side with few boundaries, and even fewer loyalties.

Deputy Inspector General of Police Grace Kaindi has said the twin attacks Hindi and Gamba was the work of members of the Mombasa Republican Council (MRC). Kaindi said the attacks that left 21 people dead was pre-planned.
Kaindi said police had also discovered a blackboard abandoned in Lamu County which had writings that could incite communities against each other.
No one has been arrested over the killings.
GSU officers have been deployed to Tana Delta and Lamu following the Saturday night attacks.
Five of the killed people were prisoners in police cells who died when a group of about 50 people attacked Gamba police station.
During the attacks, three prisoners escaped, one policeman killed and two others sustained injuries in the gunfight. 10 other prisoners who were in a different cells were unhurt.
Seven building and a church were burnt criminals attacked Hindi area in Lamu at around 11 pm on Saturday.
Deputy President William Ruto has ordered security agencies to get the attackers who killed 21 people in Gamba and Hindi "dead or alive".
He gave top security chiefs in Nairobi and Lamu 48 hours to either arrest the criminals or quit the service.
Addressing a meeting in Mpeketoni and Hindi after visiting homes of the deceased in Saturday's incident, Ruto said: "The security team must get these criminals. "Starting from Inspector General David Kimaiyo to the police constable down here...these people must be arrested? The criminals are here in Lamu. We want the security team to show results of the operation in 48 hours." This is as clear as it should get.
He directed the security team in Lamu to provide the Government with a plan of how they were going to deal with the criminals.
Ruto said it was unacceptable for a country claiming to be independent to have people killed at will. "Those who perpetuated this mayhem must be either arrested or killed."

The driving force behind watershed events such as the Montgomery Bus Boycott and the March on Washington, King helped bring about such landmark legislation as the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965. In 1983, President Ronald Reagan signed a bill creating a federal holiday honoring Dr. King, and Martin Luther King Jr. Day was observed for the first time three years later.
Find out more about Dr. King's legacy, explore his life in photos and delve deeper into the history of the civil rights movement to find out how King and other activists used nonviolent protest, civil disobedience and legal action to end segregation and pursue equality for all Americans.

Family: No decision on Arizona woman held in Mexico
There will be no decision Tuesday on the fate of an Arizona woman who was jailed in Mexico on drug smuggling charges.
#yaniramaldonado Family spokesman: no decision today on freedom for AZ Mom wrongly accused of smuggling drugs in Mexico— Casey Wian (@CaseyWianCNN) May 28, 2013
A judge will have until Friday to make a decision on what happens next in Yanira Maldonado's case.
Maldonado was arrested Wednesday as she and her husband were on their way back to the U.S. from a family funeral. They were on a bus when it was stopped near Hermosillo, Mexico at a military checkpoint.
Her husband was originally told the marijuana was found under his seat. They then let him go and charged his wife.
Her family believes she was targeted and that Mexican authorities want money from them.
"It's about getting money here," Yanira Maldonado's husband, Gary Maldonado, told CNN's "Starting Point" Tuesday.
Her daughter Anna Soto, who is one of seven children, visited on Saturday and is scared she will never see her mother again.

Revenge Season 2 Fashion Scoop: Why Were Nolan Ross and Padma Lahari Wearing Matching Outfits?
OK, so we know the Graysons' wedding was several weeks ago on Revenge, but we're still talking about the dazzling fashions.
From Victoria's show-stopping Vera Wang wedding gown to Emily's plunging red dress, we've been dying for all of the details on the fabulous looks.
But one couple that had us curious was our favorite nerdtastic duo, Nolan and Padma, who showed up to the nuptials in the same vivid shade of blue. So was the matching intentional? As with most things on Revenge, nothing is an accident.
Costume designer Jill Ohanneson recently told People Magazine the reasoning behind her daring choice.
"I purposely dressed Nolan and Padma in matching blue outfits because I felt that neither of them would have been asked or gone to their high school prom," Jill revealed. "So I was recreating that memorable fashion moment for them."
Aww, what a precious thought! And though the event wasn't exactly a romantic one for the two, we think they have plenty of love comin' in the future.
What did you think of Nolan and Padma's matching outfits? Cute or too much? Weigh in below!

Key Georgia supporters of Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich don't seem overly eager for him to hold out to the bitter end.
But, nor do they seem determined to nudge him toward the exit, despite his dismal showings in recent primaries.

Last month, I wrote a column about Americans Elect, the group that wants to hold an online convention to nominate a candidate for president.
I expressed considerable skepticism about whether such candidate likely could be elected, at least any time soon.
Waxing a bit hyperbolic, I speculated it might happen about the time we succeeded in abolishing world hunger.
Pass me an air sandwich, I concluded in an irreverent swipe at the sort of virtual politics envisioned by the Americans Elect folks.

The Zimbabwe Electoral Commission has started taking applications from individuals and organisations who want to observe the forthcoming referendum next month. This comes at a time the electoral body has also begun training voter education supervisors and district election officers who will monitor voter education exercises countrywide.
The country will hold a constitutional referendum on March 16.
Acting Zec chairperson Mrs Joyce Kazembe said all applications, foreign or local, would be considered by the Commission's Observer Accreditation Committee.
The committee would then recommend to Zec the persons or organisations to be approved for accreditation.
"According to the electoral law the committee is chaired by the Zec chairperson and the deputy chairperson is also a member together with a Commissioner," she said.
"Other members will include representatives from the Ministries of Justice and Legal Affairs, Foreign Affairs, Home Affairs mainly the immigration department. This is the committee which looks at all the applications and makes recommendations."
Zec chief elections officer Mr Lovemore Sekeremayi said applications to be considered for accreditation include those from individuals representing foreign countries or international organisations and foreign eminent persons who would have applied to be accepted as observers.
"Individuals representing local organisations and eminent persons from within Zimbabwe who have applied to be accepted as observers will have their applications considered," he said.
"Also for consideration are applications from individuals representing bodies that exercise functions similar to those of the Commission and that have been invited by the Commission to observe an election."
Mr Sekeramayi said applications would also include those of people representing foreign countries and international organisations and foreign eminent persons who would have been invited by the Minister of Foreign Affairs to observe an election.
He said local organisations and eminent persons from within Zimbabwe who would have been invited by the Ministry of Justice and Legal Affairs would also be considered for accreditation.
"An application for the accreditation as an observer must be made to the chief election officer by the individual or eminent person who wishes to be accredited or the organisation that wishes its representatives to be accredited or the Minister responsible for Justice and Legal Affairs or the Minister responsible for Foreign Affairs in respect of individuals whom the Minister concerned has invited to observe the referendum," Mr Sekeramayi said.
"An application for the accreditation must state the names of individuals whom the organisation or Minister wishes to have accredited."
On the training of voter education supervisors and district election officers, Mr Sekeramayi said it would be done in all the 10 provinces in preparation for the referendum and subsequently elections.
Training covers various aspects of the referendum, methods of disseminating voter information, communication and code of conduct for voter educators," he said.
He said the training was being conducted by Zec provincial election officers and staff.
"The next level of training will involve the voter educators at all district centres before immediate deployment in all wards across the country in a few days' time," he said.
The referendum next month will bring to finality the constitution making process that began four years ago and gobbled over US$50 million.
The process took long because of bickering among the political parties who have since agreed to campaign for a 'Yes' Vote.
Copac, a Parliament Committee, which spearheaded the drafting of the new constitution, is holding campaigns countrywide to familiarise the people with the new supreme law.
After the referendum, harmonised elections would follow to end the inclusive government formed in 2009 following an inconclusive poll the previous year.

Viewers: in countries Watching now:
Author Tom Geller demonstrates how to create and publish a complete web site with the powerful tools in Acquia's hosted service, Drupal Gardens. The course shows how to leverage the pre-built page layouts and add custom styling using the ThemeBuilder tool; integrate rich site features, such as surveys, user ratings, and media galleries; and push content to Twitter and Facebook. The course also covers transitioning from a Drupal Gardens site to a self-hosted Drupal site. Exercise files are included with the course.
One thing I love about Drupal Gardens is how easy it is to get started. If you went through my Drupal essential training course, you know how much trouble it can be to get core Drupal installed and running. In that course, I didn't talk much about how to work your Internet hosting provider because every one is different. It would have simply been impossible to cover all the variations among them. With Drupal Gardens, you simply don't have to worry about it. Let's walk through the process of getting signed up. I'm on the Drupal Gardens site here, at drupalgardens.com, and I'm not logged in.
I am going to create a new account by clicking here at Create a free site. The site I'm going to create is called explorecalifornia.drupalgardens.com, and it checks to make sure that it is available. My username will also be explorecalifornia. Of course, you enter your password and your e-mail address. Down at the bottom, you have to type in the word that you see here. That's to prevent automated systems from signing up for account after account over and over again, and then sending spam through it or creating spam sites.
If you've got it right, it will show a check, and then just click Continue. The next screen that you see is some of the options that you have to start your Drupal site. You can change several at once by using this dropdown menu. There is a Campaign template, Product, Blog, and then a custom template. In addition, once you've chosen one of these templates, you can turn on or off different features. And as you hover your pointer above any of these features, it tells you a little bit more about what the feature is. I'm going to leave it on exactly as it is, Campaign template.
Scroll down to the bottom here and say Create site. This will take a few moments for Drupal Gardens to set up your site, and the site has been created. It's now real and live. Anyone on the Internet can access this site immediately by going to explorecalifornia.drupalgardens.com, as you see in the address bar up here. However, if you scroll down, you'll notice this text here: "Check your e-mail to complete registration." In short, if you create a site but then don't confirm your e-mail address within ten days, Drupal Gardens will delete your entire account, including all the sites you created.
That sounds like a pain, but it's a necessary precaution to prevent spambots and malicious users from just signing up site after site with fake e-mail addresses. If I go to this e-mail account that I created, we could see the e-mails that I received as a result of setting up that account and that site. There are three e-mails here, and when you get yours, of course, you should look through them. Basically, they are to say that you've now signed up for Drupal Gardens, and you've now created this site. In order to verify, I have to go to this Please verify and click on the link that it sent me.
Once I've done that, my site is up and running, and it's here in my Site manager list. I'm going to go back to my site now by clicking on that link, explorecalifornia.drupalgardens.com. You might notice a difference between the site now and a moment ago. I'll go back to the screen we were just on. We have this little tooltip up here when we first create the site, and you can go up to this Help button and get more help from the Drupal Gardens site. I'm just going to close it out, and in fact, I'll close out this window entirely and go back to this other screen.
That's actually all you need to do to get started. You've now created a site, and since you confirmed your e-mail address, that site isn't going to go away. I know the site is full of fake information, like these fake blog posts and headlines and so forth, but I'll show you how to change that throughout the rest of the course, particularly in the videos about creating and managing content. But I do want to show you just one more thing. In another video in this course about what Drupal Gardens is, I mentioned that it's a multisite system, and that you can create as many sites as you want from one account.
That's actually quite easy to do. What you do is you go up to My sites here, and that brings you to a list of sites. Then just click on Create a new site. Type in a name. I'm going to say this is explorecalifornia2 and click Continue. You then go back to the screen that you saw earlier where you can choose a template, turn features on and off, and so forth. While we're here, I just want to show you one or two other features. One is when you choose a different template, for example, Product template, some of these switches turn on and off.
Go to Blog template. Many of them turn off because blogs are simpler than campaigns or product sites and so forth. It's sort of a set of themes and features and other bits of content that would be appropriate for that kind of site. But once again, once you're in there, you can customize it entirely to your own preferences. I think Drupal Gardens really underlines something about Drupal's maturity. One of the reasons that Drupal, in general, has lagged so far behind WordPress among casual site builders is that WordPress is so much easier to set up than core Drupal.
Now, I've set up as a WordPress site or two, and it's really not easier than setting up a site on Drupal Gardens. Oh! You have a few more choices, such as for the template and features, but the sign-up procedure is basically the same, and after you get started, as you'll see, Drupal Gardens lets you do much, much more than WordPress ever could.

Nairobi — Nairobi-based Ukweli Video Productions, a project of the Kenya Episcopal Conference (KEC) has produced a second video on Maurice Cardinal Otunga, now declared by the Vatican (Holy See) as Servant of God.
Father Celestino Bundi, a member of the Central Committee on the current beatification process on the Cardinal says the new video will be officially launched on Saturday, February 9, 2013, when Catholic bishops will launch the 2013 Lenten Campaign message, whose theme is: United and Peaceful Kenya...the change I want to see, is based on the country's General elections, scheduled for March 4, 2013.
"To support the beatification process, each copy will be sold for Ksh 1, 000," explains Fr Bundi in an update on the process.
He says, "We are appealing for financial support. We are expected to deposit 10,000 Euros to the Vatican Bank by September this year as our commitment to the opening of the second phase in Rome."
He adds that the current Diocesan Phase of the process, being carried out in the country, is expected to be complete by September this year.
"We are hoping to submit the records to Rome to begin the Roman Phase by October 2013. We thank all who have supported the Diocesan phase, which we hope to conclude by September," says Fr Bundi.
He adds, "We are appealing to all people of God, clergy, religious men and women and people of good will to continue to support the process with prayers, praying each day the prayer of beatification."
"We are looking forward for a miracle. Kindly volunteer any healing or other favors received through intercession of Servant of God to the office," adds Fr Bundi.
The video is titled; Doing the Will of God: The Story of the Servant of God Maurice Michael Cardinal Otunga (1923-2003).
"It is 180 minutes long and is in two parts of 90 minutes each. It documents the life of The Servant of God right from his home where he was born to where he lies at the Resurrection Gardens, and to the Cause of his beatification and Canonization," says Sr Agnes Lando, the director, Ukweli Video Productions.

Perranporth bus protest gathering pace
Posted: August 18, 2013|
MORE than 1,000 fed-up Perranporth residents have signed a petition expressing their disgust over the state of the town's bus service.
Phyllis James, who started the campaign, said she was driven to take action after a Western Greyhound bus failed to turn up.
The timetable says Western Greyhound buses should leave the town at least once an hour, for destinations all over the county, but Mrs James said the service had been "worse than a nightmare" since First and Summercourt Travel both pulled out of Perranporth at the end of last year and left Western Greyhound to serve the town on its own.
As well as the 1,200 signatures on her petition, she has also been handed 50 individual letters of complaint from Perranporth residents about the bus service.
"The current service is infrequent and inconsistent," she said. "It's beyond a joke.
"No one in the town is happy and it's got to the point where something has to be done. People are being left stranded in Truro and in some instances buses aren't turning up at all.
"It's not good enough. People who can't make it up Liskey Hill because of disabilities have to wait at the bottom for two hours."
In response to a letter, Summercourt Travel said cuts had forced it to discontinue its service, but there was a glimmer of hope from First, which said it wanted to work with Cornwall Council to re-establish its Perranporth service.
Western Greyhound managing director Mark Howarth, was unavailable for comment as the West Briton went to print, but a colleague confirmed Mr Howarth was aware of the situation.

The Equipment
We buy all of our climbing equipment from professional climbing manufacturers, and each item meets the appropriate standards of either the CEN (European Committee for Standardisation) or UIAA (Union Internationale des Associations d'Alpinisme or International Federation of Mountaineering Associations). This includes our ropes, carabiners, gri-gris, quickdraws and harnesses.
We spent weeks researching different kinds of floor padding (and learned a great deal about the various kinds of foam they are made with!), including inviting 4 flooring vendors to recommend systems for the gym. One concern we had involved the use of portable "drag mats" commonly used in indoor gyms for bouldering areas. As we learned more about flooring systems, we became convinced that drag mats can lead to ankle and other injuries, due to improper positioning, or falls onto the edges of the mats. Some mats (e.g. those with soft bevelled edges) may be better than others, but we wanted a system that presented a seamless surface to a falling climber, with the right kind of landing surface to minimize injuries.
After considering several options, we chose Asana Climbing as our padding provider. For the roped climbing area we have 6 inches of padding, made up of about 4 cm (1.5 inches) of carpet bonded closed cell foam (for a firm top layer) with about 11 cm (4.5 inches) of softer open cell foam underneath. Most of the experts we consulted felt that combination would suffice for not only the roped climbing and slackline areas, but also for some of the bouldering terrain, up to 3.35 m (11 feet) in height. Despite that assurance (which we believed), we have added another 5 cm (2 inches) of soft foam in a few areas where bouldering will take climbers to modest heights, and where there will be a lot of traffic.
In the advanced bouldering area, where the wall height varies from 3.66 to 4.25 m (12 to 14 feet), we chose Asana's custom padding solution. This is a grid of individual pads with sewn nylon covers, joined by wide velcro seam covers to produce a seamless surface that exactly matches the contours of the bouldering wall. These 30 cm (12 inch) thick pads contain 5 cm (2 inches) of closed cell foam, and 25 cm (10 inches) of softer open cell foam.
We believe our flooring system will provide good support with the right balance between a firm surface and a soft landing. It is designed for foot falls, and the wall angles are designed to minimize the chance of falling on your back as you climb higher.
Beyond the climbing equipment, we also maintain a properly stocked first aid kit in the gym, including EpiPens for both adults and children, and an AED at the entrance to the gym. All of our Climbing Instructors have first aid training that includes use of both EpiPens and the AED.

Coming off the buzz around the Oscars, the Monday after, people gossip, critique, and blog about three things…
Best and worst dressed, the host and who won.
Now, since that noise is fading out, lets talk about the "OSCAR EFFECT".
For years, brands have been leveraging the "Oscar Effect" as a means to launch new campaigns, garnering a large, mass reach (more than 39 million tuned in this year) with a heavy woman-concentrated audience (70%). Brands like JCPenney, Proctor & Gamble, Unilever, Coca-Cola, Hyundai, and McDonald's are a few of the brands that spent an estimated $1.7 million per: 30 second spot, compared to the superbowl at $3 million for a: 30 second spot. Brands are utilizing these platforms not just for the large reach but also for the continuous effect that it has. Viewer's tune in live and brands hope they discuss their commercials real time with their family and friends through social media sites like Facebook and Twitter. Additionally, there are brands also leveraging content around the Oscars- from pre-shows, Live From The Red Carpet, digital advertising, celebrity interviews, etc. For weeks prior, brands are trying to tap into the buzz of what the Oscars bring. I guess you can't go wrong associating yourself with celebrity royalty, right?
But is it worth $1.7 million to air during the program? Are viewers too consumed with the social buzz around the Oscars that brands are over shadowed by it (unless you make the content relevant)? I know I'd rather tweet about Angelina's and JLo's dresses.
So what was the social buzz?
What stood out to me was the Oscar iPhone/iPad app. Oscar, although 84 years old, caught up with the times and attempted to engage with viewers beyond 360. The best feature was "My Picks" which made it easy to choose winners and connect to Facebook or Twitter to see what others selected. This updated in real time and kept track of your results versus your friends (I got 9/24 right). Although I was not watching the Oscars with all my friends, I felt connected to them.
The app also included backstage features and behind the scenes content, but nothing as engaging. I felt they missed an opportunity to bring more real-time interactivity that viewers crave. Real time is what fueled the social sphere. The app could have tied better into Facebook and Twitter capabilities by adding thumbs up/down while on the red carpet or the stage, agree or disagree with results, or commentary on the host. Maybe next year…
Viggle, partnering with Bing, encouraged users to "check in" to the Oscar show to receive rewards points that can go towards gift cards for Amazon or iTunes. Once there, you can play trivia or fill out a ballot with your picks. The more you engage, the more points you receive. Other apps also leveraging the "Oscar Effect" to create a unique experience were Yahoo's Intonow, and GetGlue.
As the "Oscar Effect" continues to evolve and grow, brands need to find other ways to leverage the content to make the experience more engaging for the viewer. Airing during programming isn't enough. It will be interesting to see how these high impact awards shows continue to evolve to bring the experience to a multi-dimensional level.

This is a video of the F10 M5 gauge cluster as it accelerates from a stand still to 300 km/h. For those not familiar with KPH 300 works out to 186 miles per hour. Launch control is not used on the car and it spins the tires noticeably from the standstill which is no surprise. Once it hooks it moves pretty fast but does start to slow a bit up top. Still, hitting 186 MPH as quickly as it does clearly shows there is a lot of horsepower at work here. A video of a CLS63 with a tune accelerating from 0-300 is provided for comparison. ...
M3 boost only 1/4 mile record broken again - firstname.lastname@example.com by VAC Motorsports VF-Engineering supercharged E92 M3Published on 11-27-2011 10:51 PM
Well, that was fast. The boost only 1/4 mile record for the E9X M3 barely stood for a week before being broken. VAC Motorsports managed to raise the bar by almost 2 tenths with a run of firstname.lastname@example.com. They also set the new E9X M3 60 foot record breaking BimmerBoost's own 1.781 with a 1.776. Very impressive results for a DCT M3 with a full Fabspeed exhaust, Mickey Thompson drag radials, and a VF620 supercharger kit. Congratulations to VF-Engineering and VAC. ...
Buckhead Imports Performance Stage 2 RMS supercharged E39 M5 goes 11.7@122 in the 1/4 mile - Dynos 525 wheel horsepowerPublished on 11-26-2011 02:26 AM
Very nice results for this RMS Stage 2 supercharged E39 M5 that belongs to Buckhead Imports Performance. The vehicle dyno'd an impressive 535 wheel horsepower on a Dyno Dynamics and ran the 1/4 mile in 11.7@122. We must say it is very nice to finally see some positive results with RMS built/tuned hardware on the E39 M5. This supercharger kit will eventually be on sale to the public and we will bring you more details then as this is a promising start. Enjoy the pictures and video below. ...Published on 11-24-2011 08:21 AM
Here is the new AC Schnitzer ACS6 coupe based on the F12 650i. AC Schnitzer claims to raise output to 540 horsepower although we seriously doubt that especially without any evidence to support it. AC Schnitzer pretty much never supports their power claims so no surprise there. The main feature is the aero kit which consists of a front spoiler add-on, trunk spoiler, and a rear diffuser designed around the ACS exhaust (which sounds awesome, check out the video). Overall the body pieces are nice additions but we would like to see a dyno or details on their claimed power upgrades. ...Published on 11-23-2011 04:03 PM
In an earlier article we reported that the 550dx was rumored to get 500+ horsepower. We were skeptical and stated that previous 400 horsepower and 550 pound-foot of torque numbers sounded far more realistic. Well, turns out that is exactly the case as the final numbers are 381 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque for the triple turbo diesel powerplant. Disappointing? Yes, as the hype for this car was out of control. This motor is mated to all wheel drive as previously reported which will help put all that torque down. Expect to see this engine make its way into other BMW models like the X-series shortly. ...
New overall BMW E9X M3 1/4 mile boost only record set by Active Autowerke supercharged E90 M3 - 11.2@126Published on 11-22-2011 07:07 PM
Congratulations to BimmerBoost member akh23456 and Active Autowerke. Akash's E90 M3 with DCT and the Active Autowerke Stage 2 kit with meth injection set the new quickest boost only 1/4 mile time with a run of 11.2@126. The quickest/fastest overall E9X M3 time was set with nitrous so this is now the quickest run with boost only. Even more incredible is that the record settings runs were done on street tires. 10 second car with drag radials? Certainly a possibility. ...Published on 11-21-2011 08:21 AM
JAWS Motorsport out of Sweden has developed an Alpha-N setup for S85 V10 vehicles like the E60 M5. This means they use the throttle position and RPM to calculated the amount of fuel to inject as opposed to speed density. This change has resulted in a very impressive 484 horsepower to the wheels paired with the JAWS Motorsport intake. The tune coasts $1250 and comes with a handheld flash device to allow basically anyone in the world to download/upload the tune. The intake is $450 and the carbon fiber version pictured is substantially more. Please contact JAWS Motorsport if interested. ...Published on 11-20-2011 07:10 PM
Say what you want about Chris Bangle, there is no denying his impact on the automotive industry. His designs have been controversial and he dragged BMW kicking and screaming into the future but he certainly has had a massive impact. This 2012 Lifetime Achievement Award is given by the Detroit Institute of Ophthalmology where a group of automotive design peers chose Bangle as the recipient for 2012. Bangle was with BMW until 2009 and is known most for the E60 5 series and E65 7 series both of which feature the infamous "Bangle Butt." He currently operates his own design studio in Italy. Congratulations to Mr. Bangle for this prestigious design award. ...
BMW increases its stake in SGL Carbon SE to 15.1%, intends to focus more on lighter weight materialsPublished on 11-19-2011 04:51 PM
BMW has secured an increase of its stake in SGL Carbon SE to 15.16%. This move essentially shows BMW intends to feature more carbon fiber in future models as they seem to be aware of how hefty their vehicles are getting. This also means we can expect to see a lot more CFRP (carbon reinforced plastic) in BMW vehicles but unfortunately this move is mostly geared toward the 'i' brand. BMW and the SGL group already operated a join venture with a company called SGL Automotive Carbon Fibers of which BMW holds a 49% stake and SGL holds 51%. The two partners recently built a state of the art carbon fiber manufacturing facility in Michigan.

BMW's showing at the 2011 LA Auto Show was frankly pretty disappointing. Right up front was the BMW ActiveE while the new F10 M5 was hidden in the back in a dark, poorly lit corner. What about the new F30 3 series? BMW did not even bother showing it. Instead the focus was all on the BMW 'i' brand with a whole room built around the i3 and i8. There was no X5 or X6 M and BMW was pushing their electric nonsense even over their bread and butter 3 series which was just refreshed. Very disappointing that enthusiast models took a back seat especially when the competition such as Porsche and Mercedes were putting those models at the forefront. ...Published on 11-16-2011 01:30 PM
The first tunes for the N20B20 are trickling out. Kelleners released their tune (no pricing provided) which ups the output from 245 horses to 289. A fairly mild tune as we expect to see much more out of the motor. What we truly wish we had was a dyno as in stock form the motor puts out 233 horsepower to the wheels making Kelleners' crank estimates basically useless. The nice part about the Kelleners' plug in module is that it can be easily installed or removed, no fuss.
Motorsport 24 developing new aftermarket S65 headers for the E9X (E90,E92,E93) M3 - Gains of 27 horsepower claimedPublished on 11-15-2011 08:14 PM
German racing component manufacturer Motorsport 24 is in the middle of reinventing the wheel with their newly developed headers for the S65. After a year of research, the M24 team is confident that they have improved upon the already stellar original BMW design. While these headers are still in the middle of optimization and development, initial testing has shown an increase in power as well as a substantial reduction in exhaust gas temperatures. ...Published on 11-15-2011 12:18 PM
Check out these awesome renderings of the F82 BMW M4. We still can not get used to the idea of an M4 coupe instead of an M3 coupe as it has always been. Especially considering the M3 started as a coupe and not as a sedan. We think the idea is idiotic and BMW is needlessly complicating things but that is BMW for you. The positives to take away are that if the vehicle looks anything like these renderings then sign us up.

BMWUK has put out a great new video showing off the engine sounds of the new F10 M5. The motor sounds great which makes us wonder why BMW has to go the cheesy fake engine note route when the motor is more than capable of speaking for itself. The S63tu sounds a bit more aggressive than the standard S63 twin turbo V8 that is in the X5/X6 M likely due to its intake, exhaust, and rev limit changes. Check out the video below.

Here is Vortseiner's quad exhaust for the F10 535i. The exhaust is available in either Stainless Steel construction or Titanium. Obviously Titanium will have different pricing from the Stainless. Dual walled lased etched tips are available in either Stainless or Titanium as well. The exhaust simply bolts in, no cutting or permanent modification required. The exhaust also pairs well with the Vorsteiner VMS rear diffuser which is pictured. The exhaust ships in December.

Billings 207
Project Manager
I've been working for Wellesley for five years now, and in many ways it's like I just started, and I am thrilled to be here. My background is in human resources and small business administration, with my last post managing the office of a church in Katonah, New York. I've lived all over the US, and even spent four wonderful years on assignment in Tokyo! But Massachusetts is my home now, and my husband and I are delighted. I have two grown children -- one working in Wisconsin and the other a postdoc at University of Illinois Champagne/Urbana. When I'm not here at Wellesley, I enjoy playing in an English Handbell choir, walking my dog, or planning my next trip to a charity that is near and dear to my heart, White Lotus in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. I hope you'll come by the office and say hello next time you are over at Billings! I'm always here to help.

'Homeland': Showtime to marathon Season 2 before Season 3 premiereAdd to Favorites | Homeland
Behind on "Homeland"? Have no fear, Showtime subscribers, because the network is marathoning Season 2 before this weekend's premiere of Season 3.
Showtime is airing all 12 episodes of "Homeland" Season 2 back-to-back starting at 12 p.m. ET on Sept. 28 and Sept. 29. Then the Season 3 premiere of "Homeland" takes place on Sept. 29 at 29 p.m. ET.
In "Homeland's" Season 3 opener, fans will see the relationship between Saul and Carrie change dramatically. Their friendship has been strained more than once, but never quite like this.
"It's a game-changer, but I will see that the ramifications of what you've seen definitely play out downstream," co-showrunner Howard Gordon told Zap2it at the Summer TCA Press Tour. "The Saul/Carrie axis in some ways is every bit as the Carrie/Brody axis. I mean, he is her mentor, her father-figure, and she is his apprentice, disciple, daughter, and all those relationships are tested, are broken, are bent and in some ways this is the story of Carrie and Saul."
Will you be tuning in for "Homeland's" Season 3 premiere?

Banana Split Scones
This morning I created this recipe for my daughter Amanda, who requested freshly baked scones for breakfast. I thought I whip up a batch using slightly overripe strawberries, and extra coconut milk leftover from another recipe. The results were great! The scones are light and fluffy, and not overly sweet. Tuck this recipe into your recipe box…strawberry season is around the corner!

These are the recipes from episode #8 of Inspired Cooking. The show airs on Cape Ann TV Tuesdays at 8:30, Fridays at 4:30 and Sundays at 11:30 am. I hope you will watch!
Native Strawberry Salsa with Mangoes and Cilantro
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2/3 cup orange juice
Juice of one lime
1 mango, diced
3 cups native strawberries, hulled, one cup mashed, two cups chopped
3 tablespoons fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoons minced pickled jalapeno (or fresh, if desired)
Salt & pepper to taste
In a large bowl, whisk together vinegar and juices. Add remaining ingredients and toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve with blue corn chips for a great presentation
Herb Marinated Pork Tenderloin with Balsamic Strawberries and Basil
*this recipe serves 2-3 people
½ recipe Double Duty Herb Vinaigrette
1 1-1 ¼ pound pork tenderloin, cleaned
2 cups strawberries, hulled and halved
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 teaspoons sugar (or more to taste)
2 tablespoons olive oil
¼ cup chicken stock
Mixed salad greens
1/2 cup goat cheese
1/2 cup blueberries
pitted black olives
3 tablespoons basil, chopped
Salt & pepper to taste
Place pork in a large zip top bag. Pour vinaigrette in bag and refrigerate for 2-6 hours.
About an hour before serving, toss together strawberries, vinegar and sugar in medium bowl. Set aside.
Remove pork from the bag and pat dry. Season with salt & pepper and set aside.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a large oven safe sauté pan, heat oil over high heat. Sear pork tenderloin on all sides until browned. Remove pan from heat and place in oven until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 155 for medium rare, about 5-10 minutes. Remove pork from pan, place on a plate and cover lightly with foil to keep warm.
Return pan to stovetop. Over medium heat add stock and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Bring the stock to a boil and add strawberry mixture and reduce heat. Warm strawberries through. Season with salt & pepper to taste.
Slice pork tenderloin, arrange on the plate, top with strawberry sauce and sprinkle with chopped basil.
Serve with mixed greens tossed with Double Duty Herb Vinaigrette, black olives, and blueberries and topped with crumbled goat cheese. Enjoy!
Double Duty Fresh Herb Vinaigrette
1 medium clove garlic, minced
1 ½ teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 ½ teaspoon honey
1 teaspoon minced fresh thyme
1 teaspoon minced fresh oregano
1 teaspoon minced fresh basil
1 ½ tablespoons lemon juice
3 tablespoons white wine
1/3 cup olive oil
2/3 cup canola/vegetable oil
Salt & pepper to taste
Whisk everything together in a medium bowl. Season with salt & pepper to taste. Refrigerate until ready to use.
Orange Kissed Strawberry Shortcake
3 pints fresh strawberries, hulled; 1 pint crushed with potato masher 2 pints quartered, reserve 6 berries for garnish
2 tablespoons orange liqueur (such as triple sec or Cointreau)*
6 tablespoons granulated sugar
For the Orange Shortcake:
2 cups bleached all-purpose flour, plus more for work surface
½ teaspoon table salt
1 tablespoon baking powder
3 tablespoons granulated sugar plus more for sprinkling
1 stick butter, frozen
2 tablespoons orange zest, finely grated
1 egg, beaten
½ cup light cream plus one tablespoon for brushing
1 tablespoon half-and-half
For the Whipped Cream:
1 cup heavy cream, chilled
1-2 tablespoons confectioner's sugar, to taste
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
In a medium bowl, mix crushed and quartered strawberries with sugar. Set aside while preparing biscuits
Preheat oven to 425. Lightly spray large baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
In another medium bowl, whisk together flour, salt, baking powder and 3 tablespoons sugar.
Using large holes of box grater, grate butter into dry ingredients. Toss butter with flour to coat. Add grated orange zest. Use pastry cutter to finish cutting butter into flour. Mix beaten egg with ½ cup light cream; pour into flour mixture. Toss with fork until large clumps form. Turn mixture onto floured work surface and lightly knead until it comes together.
Gently pat dough into 9- by 6-inch rectangle and cut 6 3" squares with a sharp knife. Place biscuits 1" apart prepared baking sheet, brush dough tops with one tablespoon light cream and sprinkle with remaining sugar. Bake until golden brown, 12 to 14 minutes. Place on a wire rack to cool.
When ready to serve, place heavy cream in a cold bowl and whip with vanilla extract and powdered sugar to taste.
Split biscuits in half and place ½ on serving plate. Spoon on berries and a bit of whipped cream. Top with remaining biscuit half, more berries and finish with additional cream. Top with a reserved whole strawberry and enjoy!
*the very bottom line-if you don't feel like making biscuits, dont. Just brush the biscuits with a little of the orange juice or liqueur, make sure to "orange-ize" the strawberries and top with the whipped cream–heck–you can even buy the whipped cream at the store if you want to–I won't tell! Just enjoy strawberry season!

Final Score: Kansas City 2, Chicago 1 (10 innings)
Chicago, IL (Sports Network) - Mike Moustakas drove in the game's first run in
the top of the 10th inning and Jeff Francoeur added an RBI single that proved
to be the difference, as the Kansas City Royals held on for a 2-1 win over the
Chicago White Sox in the rubber match of a three-game series at U.S. Cellular
Chicago reliever Brett Myers (2-3) walked Billy Butler with two outs in the
10th before giving up three straight singles to Salvador Perez, Moustakas and
In the bottom of the inning, Greg Holland walked two of the first three
batters he faced. Gordon Beckham then put the White Sox on the board with a
one-out double to left field. Holland, though, struck out both Alejandro De
Aza and Ray Olmedo swinging to record his 13th save of the season.
Kelvin Herrera (3-2) picked up the win after getting Alex Rios to ground into
an inning-ending double play with the bases loaded in the ninth.
"Herrera came in and did a phenomenal job," Royals manager Ned Yost said.
Despite the loss, the AL Central-leading White Sox still hold a two-game lead
over second-place Detroit, which missed out on an opportunity to gain ground
by getting swept by the Angels.
Chicago begins a four-game home series against the Tigers on Monday.
Jeremy Guthrie scattered six hits over eight stellar innings for Kansas City.
He entered play 4-0 with a 2.04 ERA in his previous six starts.
Chicago's Hector Santiago made his second career major league start and gave
up three hits, walked three and struck out eight over four-plus innings.
"Hector did a great job," White Sox manager Robin Ventura said. "Offensively
we didn't help him at all."
Game Notes
The White Sox are 1-7 in their last eight games against Kansas City ... Perez
extended his career-high hitting streak to 14 games ... Chicago was 2-for-10
with runners in scoring position.

The Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza : Michelin's recommendations
On November 22, 1963, alleged assassin Lee Harvey Oswald fired shots at President John F. Kennedy from this level of the former Texas School Book Depository building. Today the entire 9,000sq-ft floor holds a moving tribute to Kennedy's life, career and death. Although the mood is hushed and reverential, exhibits do not canonize JFK. Audio programs, descriptive text, archival photographs and film footage (including 45min of video) treat the 35th president as a historical figure. After a look at JFK's family history, marriage and early career, exhibits focus on the 1960 election campaign and the 1,000 days of the Kennedy presidency, especially the events leading to the assassination. The southeast corner window-from where Oswald allegedly shot the president-has been re-created to look as it did when investigators discovered it, with cardboard boxes stacked to create a hiding place. A final area considers a variety of conspiracy theories and possible motives for Kennedy's murder. Display cases showcase international tributes; visitors also are encouraged to share their personal reflections in memory books.The Sixth Floor Museum is within Dealey Plaza National Historic Landmark district, six square blocks that encompass sites important to the Kennedy assassination and its aftermath.
