BUFFALO, NY - Governor Andrew Cuomo made three stops in Western New York on Wednesday with a delivery of some much-needed cash.
The money he brought was casino revenue that was withheld by the Senecas in a dispute with the state. An agreement between Albany and the Seneca Nation last month released that money to the state, and subsequently the cities that host the casinos.
Niagara Falls received $89 million, Salamanca receives $34.5 million and Buffalo received $15.5 million.
Seneca Nation President Barry E. Snyder, Sr. said, "This is a historic day for the Seneca Nation and NYS."
Governor Cuomo made appearances in each of the host cities along with Snyder. Cuomo said he recognized both the history of the Seneca people and their nation, as well as the hardships each of the host cities endured without the promised money for the four years the dispute held payments in limbo.

For game 2 the mantra has to be simple, no more half-hearted
efforts by the New York Rangers. Win on Sunday and the Ranger erase that ugly
12 game losing streak that is an NHL record.
Win Sunday and you force Dan Blysma to think about making a
goalie change as it wasn't hard to see why the Rangers got to him. Take the
puck to the net and Marc-Andre Fleury struggles with his decision making
process. A goalie who has to think instead of reacting is a goalie in trouble.
Win Sunday and the Rangers show up on Monday full of
positive energy knowing they took two games on Penguin home ice. A 2-0 lead
going into Monday night doesn't give the Penguins any times to really make any
changes other than players.
Ranger fans know what the team needs to do in order to win
game 2 as it starts with a consistent level with no taking periods off. The
Rangers need to remember what got them a 2-0 first period and the final game winning
goal and that is sending bodies in waves to the net.
If they wish to fix the power play they might get a clue
from the last paragraph and attack the net instead of standing around waiting
for someone else to make a play. I find it hard to believe that Derek Brassard
and Benoit Pouliot are the only ones willing to do this. Heck tell Brian Boyle
he doesn't have to do anything other than to use that 6'7 frame of his and park
it so Fleury can't see what is going on. Who knows Boyle might be able to push
a puck a foot to score goals.
But this message on attacking the net has to go to Rick Nash
more than anyone else. I know Nash can do this as he has done it once in a while
but if he wants to end this 2 goals in 24 playoff game drought this is what he
has to do. I seriously doubt the Penguins have anyone who can stop a Rick Nash
who is on the attack.
The rest is the basics which are limit the number of
giveaways, play with discipline and avoid taking the "bad" penalties (anything
in offensive zone or holding calls) which just make it easier for the Penguins
to score.
Put the Penguins up against the wall and keep them there for
a full 60 minutes and hopefully we will be talking what it will take to win
game 3.
Bored? Check this
list out
I got shown this list over at Larry-Fisher.com and it shows
many a name who once played in the NHL and now play overseas. I just glanced
down the list to see how many former Rangers were on it and I counted 15 names
(they left out Petr Prucha) but it was sad to see 2 former Ranger first round
picks on that list.

Attorneys representing Exelon Nuclear's LaSalle County Generating Station submitted an appeal to the Illinois Property Tax Appeal Board based on a March 5 ruling by the LaSalle County Board of Review that increased the station's property tax payments by a
MARSEILLES, Ill. (April. 28, 2010) - Attorneys representing Exelon Nuclear's LaSalle County Generating Station submitted an appeal to the Illinois Property Tax Appeal Board based on a March 5 ruling by the LaSalle County Board of Review that increased the station's property tax payments by approximately 75 percent.
"We expected to see an increase in property taxes for this year. However, a 75 percent increase does not accurately reflect the fair value of the plant and is an increase well beyond what any business or homeowner should expect in an annual assessment," said J. Bradley Fewell, Vice President and Deputy General Counsel for Exelon.
While the appeal is deliberated by state's Property Tax Appeal Board, the company will pay approximately $21.5 million in property taxes to 11 local taxing bodies, $9 million more than what the station paid in 2009. Exelon's LaSalle Station is already the highest taxpayer and largest employer in LaSalle County.
In the March ruling, the LaSalle County Board of Review set the assessed value of the station at $525 million, which is $200 million more than the independent plant appraisal that Exelon commissioned ($325 million).
"Exelon Nuclear is a significant part of the local economy and has always paid its fair share of property taxes in LaSalle County," said Fewell. "We continue to be open to a fair and reasonable long-term agreement with the taxing bodies in LaSalle County that would establish tax assessments for a number of years into the future. This would provide budgetary certainty for the school districts and other taxing bodies as well as tax predictability for the station."
The taxing bodies' negotiating committee assessed the value of the station at $736 million. The taxing bodies include: Brookfield Township, Brookfield Township Road District, Illinois Valley Community College, LaSalle County, Marseilles Fire Protection District, Multi Township Assessment District (Brookfield and Allen), Seneca Consolidated School District, South Prairie Park District, Seneca Rural Fire Protection District, Seneca Library District and Seneca Township High School District.
Exelon Corporation is one of the nation's largest electric utilities with approximately $17 billion in annual revenues. The company has one of the industry's largest portfolios of electricity generation capacity, with a nationwide reach and strong positions in the Midwest and Mid-Atlantic. Exelon distributes electricity to approximately 5.4 million customers in northern Illinois and southeastern Pennsylvania and natural gas to approximately 486,000 customers in the Philadelphia area. Exelon is headquartered in Chicago and trades on the NYSE under the ticker EXC.

Joe came to us through a friend who found him abandoned with his brother. Very similar to Marley from the book "Marly and Me", he managed to chew up an entire living room set, various yard equipment and more things than my wife and I can remember. After the terrible two's Joe magically stopped chewing everything up and became this wonderful loving dog which is a good thing since he weighed in at 120 lbs. HE IS BIG but he is a nice as he is big. Unfortunatley when he was about 4 years old he developed a liver condition and almost died. We worked very closely with Yakima Vet, Dr Sandi assured us there was hope. He hadn't eaten in 10 days and it was finally decided that we would take him to WSU where he received treatment for his unknown liver issue. After two trips to WSU and a whole lot of prayer and work we managed to get Joe back on his feet and he has been going strong for about 3 years now. Joe had a rough start, he was abandoned and injured when he found his way to us and it made us sick to think he would be short changed on what was a wonderful life with me and my wife. Joe enjoys all the comforts of home including our king size bed which he is willing to share with us every night. We really should have named him "Lucky" but we are the lucky ones to have such a wonderful dog to share our lives with.
I should have been named "Lucky"

Joe rocks!! He is the biggest dog with a big bark, but is a loving big softie!!
says ... on Wednesday, Jul 15 at 12:04 PM
My grandbabies love to get a big smooch from Joe when they visit! He is taller than they are and they can't resist trying to 'ride' him. He bugs Rob to walk him by our Mom's house every night too, to check on her! He is soooo loving!
says ... on Wednesday, Jul 15 at 8:43 AM
Oh my where do I start with Joe? He is the sweetest dog in the world and I agree he has put Rob and T through many "challenges" but in the end he has been the best thing that has came into their lives. He is a wonderful dog.
says ... on Wednesday, Jul 15 at 7:41 AM
I will agree to every word written here about Joe. When we lived across the street from Joe and his owners:) he would run across the street into our garage into the house and give my wife a big doggie kiss and run back home. He's a big loving dog!

Suicide or Bombing
He was a fanatic Muslim, who had convinced himself of acting in accordance with his religion. He left a message where he blamed Swedish troops in Afghanistan and the provocative work of a Swedish artist, Lars Vilks, who made images of the prophet Mohammed as a dog.
Well, Swedish troops in Afghanistan are, as far as I know, mainly peace preserving forces, just like the many UN missions that Swedish troops have been involved in for several decades. Lars Vilks' artistic provocation has upset many Muslims, but not to the extent that the Danish caricatures published some time earlier did.
This lonely terrorist was probably mainly searching desperately for a higher cause, and in such cases religion is often easily accessible. That's reason for us to keep on questioning religion in any of its forms. We can't surrender to a position where we respect religion so much that we refrain from investigating and criticizing it. Nothing in society should be above inspection and debate.
What's the Responsibility of an Artist?
There is more to contemplate. For example, I think about Lars Vilks' artistic provocation. It's easy enough to understand his aim. Like many of us, including me, Vilks was upset at how cowardly passive the Swedish politicians and media were, when Denmark was aggressively attacked because one of its newspapers published caricatures of Mohammed. Politicians worked secretly to stop Swedish press from publishing the same pictures, and the press obliged, giving all kinds of absurd arguments for not showing their readers the pictures in question.
The only commendable press reaction to the threats against Denmark and its press, would be for the press of the rest of the world to quickly publish the same pictures. Swedish press – and many others – chickened out, sadly. They regretted it later, without admitting it publicly, but the damage was already done.
So, when Vilks made his Mohammed dog, he was kicking in a wide open door. Swedish politicians and press had to stand up for him, not to make the same mistake twice. He was – and is – at risk of being attacked by aggressive Muslim fundamentalists, but he has the complete support of official Sweden. And he is a risk to it. Is he really morally allowed to do so?
International terrorism, as well as individual extreme fundamentalism, don't care if they strike at innocent civilians. Actually, they often prefer it. This suicide bomber in Stockholm went to its most populated shopping area with several bombs on his body and a backpack full of nails. Had he succeeded, many innocents would have been wounded or killed, including children.
We should all consider this risk when we act this way or that.
Not that we should allow terrorists to dictate our agenda and our actions, ever. But still, Vilks made a provocation that was evident to increase the risk of terrorist strikes in Sweden, especially since he knew that the Swedish government had to defend him. If he didn't consider this very carefully and responsibly, he allowed his art to go above ethics, or he just didn't care in his strife to make noise.
I regard myself as an artist of sorts, and I know that I would have great trouble with such considerations, before deciding on something equally provocative. I will defend Vilks' right to make such art, no matter what, but I allow myself to wonder if he has the same respect for others, and if he is primarily a compassionate human being.
The Failing Swedish Secret Police
Another thing is the action of the Swedish secret police, SÄPO, which has an embarrassing track record.
In 1986, Swedish Prime Minister Olof Palme was killed in the street by what seems also to have been a solitary madman – it's not yet certain. SÄPO, responsible for his security, had no bodyguard assigned to him at the time, and later defended it by claiming that there had been no threat against him. Well, he was assassinated...
In 2003, the Swedish Minister of Foreign Affairs, Anna Lindh, met the same terrible fate. Again a solitary madman, as far as we know, and again no SÄPO bodyguards. Guess what they said?
Historically, SÄPO has been totally preoccupied by chasing communists, and not much apart from that. Olof Palme discovered, when he had just become Prime Minister, that SÄPO regarded him as a security risk, because he had participated in a demonstration against the Vietnam war. So I guess he didn't feel much protected by them.
Now, SÄPO proudly steps in and declares that since this bombing is a terrorist act, they take over the investigation and just about everything else – although there is already news coming out about their failure to act on some alarms about the bomber's plans and behavior. My guess is that they will primarily struggle to hide their blunders. I don't expect that they accomplish much more. They're still mainly a sad joke. An expensive one, too.
I understand that it's almost impossible to protect society from solitary madmen, but this one had a Facebook account where it was quite obvious where he was heading, and he made several trips to England and the Arab world. Combined, those are telltale signs. Still, SÄPO has already admitted to knowing nothing about the man beforehand. Don't they bother about threats that are not fancy enough?
As a powerful organization they might only be interested in fighting other powerful organizations. Pride is one of the greatest powers, and one of the most costly.
What to do?
Extremism and fundamentalism are probably elements of which society cannot rid itself. Unfortunately, I believe such behavior to be stimulated by the panic that society reveals when experiencing it. The noise that one terrorist act causes, inspires the next one.
Suicide is like that, the experts have known for long. For this reason, the press in Sweden is discreet about suicides, even when famous people commit them. Somehow, a widely published suicide gives the impulse for others to follow the example. If a suicide bomber is primarily suicidal, and that's probably the case, then the same influence is likely there, too.
But media silence is no solution, since it creates other problems. We need to be able to talk about all, and to know about all. Otherwise we will soon have no idea of what to do, and what challenges to face.
Normal suicides are neither demonized nor glorified. We should not do that with terrorist suicides, either. If they are portrayed as suicides, although with terrorist claims, they might lose their attraction.
The Swedish suicide bomber was obviously a confused person with the dream of becoming a hero, no matter at what cost. He was not a monster, although he tried to commit a monstrous deed, nor was he any super villain. Just a lost soul with a mistaken cause. A desperate attention seeker. Who would want to walk in such a man's footsteps, really?
I know it is difficult, but we probably need to defuse terrorism by playing it down, from the devilish conspiracy to the personal tragedy. If we reveal the weakness and confusion of the ones carrying the terrorist deeds out, new recruits may be scarce.
I might be wrong.

Nice and wide analyse Stefan...The only thing i have to remark, is about the Swedish forces i Afghanistan....They are not peacekeepingforces.ReplyDelete
If not, they shouldn't be there.ReplyDelete
nice insight.ReplyDelete
I tend to agree with the solitary man aspect, though when dealing with Islam (which I was taught mean's 'Nation of God') there are no borders. The goal is only to make every nation subject to Moslem traditions, however those traditions have themselves been replaced with the traditions of the politics of the religion of Muhammed. So.. that's where the issues arise. No religion should be deifying a human but that is what is to be expected in moderrn faith as we are either christian or moslem praising these men raised to god-like prophetic status.. With the recent admissions that Saudis support AlQaeda it is altogether possible that any of these yahoos blowing themself up are authorised to pursue a personal Jihad and attain heaven with the virgins and all that (this is where the bomber's travels become relevent). Because heaven must be achieved under Jihad as a martyr.
Okay I know I ramble a little, but the question of the lone madman to me seems doubtful because one man without the teachings of another is unlikely to construct an elabprate religious death whereupon he is helping others.
These are generaliosed statements to try and direct thaought to the systemic faults of Jihad and Islam in general, though not a condemnation of the principles or faith of a Moslem.
So that's my argument. Religious wackjobs wack themselves with bombs because quasi-religious politician wack-jobs tell them to.
Tackar fer efter att ha lyssnar
All religions may be dangerous, if you believe too much in them. Then they will pave the way for, and produce, such devilish conspiracies and personal tragedies, as you, Stefan, mention in your last paragraph. But I'm afraid you can't "play them down" from one to the other, because to me they seem to be two sides of the same coin. We rather have to expose that possibility. Emphasize that excessive faith in whatever may be a confession of personal failure, loss of mental stability, and an SOS signal that this person needs help to restore his place in his/her family and society.ReplyDelete
Gleni, as far as I know, there are only two missionary world religions - Islam and Christianity. Other religions have no proclaimed intent to 'take over the world'. Not that it makes them free of tragedy...ReplyDelete
I agree with you that, so to speak, no man is an island. Even the solitary madman usually finds friends to encourage him and confirm his delusions.
Okjhum, maybe we should start by concluding that fundamentalism and other forms of excessive faith are consequences of personal crisis and shortcomings?ReplyDelete
apparently the bomber contacted the military and the press both ten minuted befrore the event. It is common in order to create civil panic and then have media attention. I almost think that when the car blew up and he wasn't immediately seeing the press and the military he arrived at the decision that he was being an idiot and tried to disarm his body explosives but instead was killed in the blast.ReplyDelete
Re:his tactics...The first explosion is intended to cause the crowds to amass and travel towards teh suicide bomber.. where he then detonates within as large a group as possible.. Swedes, being oblivious to the nature of an Islamic state (which Sweden is raopidly becoming with more practising muslims than christians) of course congregated around the exploded car thwarting his attempts at panic murder and then they further attempted first aid on the bomber himself with bombs attached (so I heard). Now does any of this sound totally ludicrous.. well it's how it went down..
this was just another mad bombing gone wrong..
and in true swedish fashion, the truth is funnier than any comedy writer could have possibly envisioned.
Thanks for the post again, and your comment. I am a little divergent and often play devil's advocate regardless of my own views..
But this story really is one of comedy made tragic by a death.
It's been said that God does nothing in the affairs of men except they pray. Prayer is the catalyst for worldwide transformation. Prayer incites the angels, restrains darkness, and releases nations into their destiny.ReplyDelete

Good Product Review by Mulder
Ordered these when they came into stock just to have some spares. They are a great product and Steyr's Service was awesome actually got a personal phone call they were in stock!

Servi info etc.
8 posts • Page 1 of 1
Read a post once.. think it was from Panic.. that the retricted intake was for low end torque purposes to help get the heavy weight servi off the line. Before I had read that.. I too also opened up my intake on a 67 using a Delorto carb to 1" .. and it did affect the off the line lower end torque/power but the swap was I had higher revs, more top end power, and speed. Building a stripped 49 bobber trike now, and almost done.. am thinking of running a wl intake with a Mikuni to see what happens. Will get back with that info when I get it up and running.
When they're running you out of town.. get out in front and make it look like a parade.

Firefighters contain brush fire on Merritt Island
Blaze burned near homes, Kennedy Space Center
A Merritt Island brush fire that quickly grew to 15 acres and burned near homes was contained by firefighters.
The fire began just before 1 p.m. Wednesday and was first reported at about a half-acre in size. The fire occurred off Wildwood Avenue, which runs north from Chase Hammock Road south of Kennedy Space Center.
The blaze quickly grew as firefighters cleared a protective line by using tractors to remove vegetation and other fuel.
Florida Forest Service, Brevard County Fire-Rescue and Cape Canaveral fire crews were in the area to defend nearby homes if the flames jumped the fire line. Merritt Island volunteer firefighters also battled the blaze.
No evacuations were ordered, but some residents left voluntarily, officials said.
The area is east of North Courtenay Parkway and south of Kennedy Space Center.

NY Rangers vs Edmonton Oilers
12:30 p.m.
Madison Square
Rangers Record: 8-7-1
Oilers Record: 4-8-3
Today, Nov. 14th, the Rangers take on the Edmonton Oilers in
the fourth and last game of their most recent homestand. The Rangers, only 2-3
in their last five games, are coming off a big overtime win against the Sabres
on Thursday night. This positive note, along with the three days of rest the
Rangers have been enjoying, should be the recipe for another win.
The Oilers, struggling through the start of their season,
have lost their last three consecutive games since beginning their five-game
road trip with a win against Chicago. Edmonton's most recent game, however,
showed the most promise, as the team lost an overtime heartbreaker to the
Devils on Friday night. That well-played game may be a sign that the team is
turning it around, and Edmonton will look to begin its winning ways against the
Rangers this afternoon.
On Thursday, the Rangers enjoyed the return of star forward
Marian Gaborik, who had missed 12 games due to injury. Though he did not record
a point in his first game back, Gaborik skated well, and should soon return to
his usual form. Unfortunately, this return came with a new scratch; Henrik
Lundqvist missed Thursday's game with the flu, and may or may not start this
afternoon. If he is not well enough to play, his able understudy Martin Biron
will take the start in goal against Edmonton backstop Nikolai Khabibulin. The
Rangers' Michael Roszival, Chris Drury
Edmonton forward Sean Horcroff is listed as day-to-day with
a bruised thigh, and forward Jean-Francois Jacques remains out while recovering
from back surgery. Forward Ryan Whitney is currently riding a four-game
point-scoring streak, while also leading the team in points with 13.
This is the only time the Rangers and Oilers will meet this
season. In their one meeting last season, the Rangers beat the Oilers 4-2 on
the Oilers' home turf. It will be interesting to see if they can repeat that feat
in front of the Garden faithful. The puck drops at 12:30 p.m. for this Sunday
matinee, which is sure to be a thriller.

See Video Highlight from Greenville: Zach Germain and East Series Drivers Visited Shriners Hospital
Mar 28
Fontana, CA (March 27, 2011) – Casey Mears and the GEICO Racing team arrived in Southern California with Top 35 visions in their minds. For the first time in the three-year history of the GEICO NASCAR Sprint Cup Series program, both GEICO and Germain Racing have ventured into unchartered territory where they now find themselves sitting in the Top 35 in the Owner Point standings. Top 35 status guarantees the Germain Racing team a position in each race, providing they maintain their position.
They would need to record a decent finish in Fontana to maintain their current status and allow the GEICO team to be locked in at Martinsville next week.
Friday's opening practice session in Fontana proved unspectacular, as Mears and the #13 GEICO Toyota Camry sat 37th at the close of practice. Undaunted, Mears took to the two-mile oval for qualifying on Friday afternoon and turned heads when he paced the two-mile facility in just 39.592-seconds, at a rate of speed of 181.855 miles per hour. Aside from securing the 25th starting position in Sunday's NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race, Mears was the fastest 'go or go home car' in the qualifying session.
Mears then tore into Fontana for final practice on Saturday and shot the #13 GEICO Camry to the top of the chart and sat 19th when the session concluded.
Rain threatened the Fontana area on Sunday morning and drizzle plagued the area until around 10:00 AM (PT) when it finally dissipated and allowed for track drying to begin. The racing gods would smile upon Southern California and allow for an on-time green flag at 12:16 PM (PT).
Mears started 25th, but quickly began to battle the racecar. By Lap 3, Mears had dropped to 27th and reported to crew chief Bootie Barker that his GEICO Camry was tight and would not turn. He fell as low as 35th before scheduled green flag pit stops got underway and forced the #13 GEICO Camry down pit road for service on Lap 34. The Germain Racing pit crew quickly outfitted Mears with four fresh tires, a full tank of fuel and adjustments before returning him to the racing surface in the 32nd position.
The adjustments would serve as little assistance to Mears, as just two laps later he once again radioed to Barker: "The front end just doesn't want to work."
Mears and Barker would win the occasional battle, but the war continued and Lap 163 found Mears still at odds with an ill-handling racecar while running in the 30th position. As the laps wound down, Barker ordered Mears to pit road for the final pit stop of the day on Lap 185 after a caution came out for a Bobby Labonte crash. Barker instructed the GEICO pit crew to make the necessary adjustments to give Mears and the #13 GEICO Camry a shot at a better finish.
Barker's orders did not go unheeded and Mears restarted P32 with just nine laps remaining in the 200-lap race. Mears and the #13 GEICO Camry made quick work of the cars of David Gilliland and Trevor Bayne in the final laps en route to a 29th place finish under gray skies and cool temperatures.
Shortly after the checkered flag waved, Barker announced to the GEICO team that they were in the Top 35 in the 2011 Owner Standings, which means they will be locked into the race next week in Martinsville. Barker also noted that this is the first time in GEICO's three-year Sprint Cup Series involvement that the team would officially be 'locked in', a big stride for a team that three years ago did not even have a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series team.
"Today was frustrating, but we kept fighting and salvaged a decent finish," Mears said after climbing from his #13 GEICO Camry. "The nice thing is that we were able to give GEICO the opportunity to be locked into the race next week because we have worked really hard this year and put ourselves in the Top 35. I am proud of all of these guys on this GEICO team because regardless of what happens we keep our heads and stay focused."
The NASCAR Sprint Cup Series will go short-track racing for the second time in three weeks when they travel to Martinsville, VA, next weekend.
Mears and the #13 GEICO Toyota Camry will hit the half-mile paper-clipped shaped oval for the opening practice session at 12:30 PM (EDT) on Friday, April 1st. Qualifying will follow on Saturday, April 2nd, at 12:10 PM (EDT).
The Goody's Fast Relief 500 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race is on Sunday, April 3rd, and it will be televised live on FOX beginning at 1:00 PM (EDT). The Motor Racing Network (MRN) will carry the live radio broadcast.

Germain Prepared for NKNPSE Season Opener at Greenville
NASCAR Night with Charlotte Bobcats and
Shriners Hospital Visit are Highlights Leading into Race Weekend
Mooresville, N.C. (03-23-2011) – This time last year, Zach Germain was looking forward to the start of his NASCAR racing career. The Columbus, OH, native, saw the Greenville-Pickens Speedway season debut as a test on so many levels. Now he looks forward to the kick off of his sophomore season with a sense of preparation and confidence. But, he still knows he and the No. 24 Germain Racing Camry team will be tested when the green flag waves on Saturday night.
"I was able to learn a ton in the ten K&N Pro Series races last year. There certainly is a difference between going into Greenville-Pickens Speedway last year and this year. Last year, I'd never raced this car or raced the track. That said, I think Greenville is going to be an all new experience for this No. 24 Germain Racing Camry team," said Germain.
The goals have changed for the sophomore driver, who began last season focused on finishing races. This year, he and crew chief Jamie Jones expect top-ten performances.
"Our biggest goal this year it is to become a top-ten team. If we can do that, we've become successful. We need to practice in the top-ten, qualify and run in the top-ten. We saw in the off-season that we can run with the best teams, and, our goal is to do that every week this year," said crew chief Jamie Jones.
Germain tested his new No. 24 Germain Racing Camry at Greenville last week. He realized then how the work he and his team did in the off-season, and the addition of NASCAR champion David Green to the spotter's stand, have changed his vantage point leading into Saturday's South Carolina race.
"Before we got to Greenville for the test, I had my ideas of what I expected. I had to laugh because it was still a new experience. I didn't remember the track surface as being that rugged and, because my laps were much more aggressive than last season, our car was pretty loose off of turns two and four," smiled the Miami University graduate. "There was some peer pressure there with so many other K&N Pro Series teams at the track for the test session, but, over the hundreds of laps we logged, I really got to see how I've changed as a driver."
Green first worked with Germain in Phoenix last year.
"David has been great at helping me become more confident and aggressive. Last year, it was all about 'defense.' This year, we have our cautiously aggressive team motto, and, David helps me understand the different points when I should be thinking of passes and when I should not" said Germain.
Before Germain gets to see the Greenville fans again, he'll make a couple other appearances. Wednesday night he will sign autographs at NASCAR Night at the Charlotte Bobcats game. On Friday morning, Germain will visit Shriners Hospital for Children—aside from the waving of the green flag on Saturday night, Germain considers this stop possibly the favorite part of his race weekend.

Tough Luck Strikes Casey Mears at Bristol Motor Speedway
Mechanical Failure Relegates GEICO Racing Team to 37th-Place Finish
BRISTOL, Tenn. (March 21, 2011) – Coming off the first off-weekend for the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, Casey Mears and the No. 13 GEICO Racing team were refreshed and ready to battle the bullring known as Bristol Motor Speedway – a short track known for bumping and banging.
On Friday afternoon, after two solid practice sessions, Mears took to the "World's Fastest Half-Mile" for his qualifying attempt. The car of Dave Blaney, who qualified prior to Mears, blew an oil pump, causing oil fluid to cover the track. Unfortunately, Mears' laps were hindered by this situation, relegating the GEICO Toyota Camry to the 43rd starting position for Sunday's 500-lap race.
The green flag flew on The Jeff Byrd 500 under sunshine in the Tennessee Mountains. Mears patiently began his trek to the front of the field, understanding that to finish well, you must first finish. The first caution of the afternoon slowed the pace on lap 29 for a multi-car accident on the frontstretch. Mears did a great job of avoiding the wreck and moved into the 34th position. The California native was instructed to stay out by crew chief Bootie Barker, allowing Mears to restart from 22nd-place.
A competition caution came on lap 52 for the teams to check tire wear on their Goodyear rubber as a right-side tire change was mandated on Saturday, prior to the final practice sessions. Barker brought Mears to the attention of his GEICO crew for four tires, fuel, and adjustments as the No. 13 Toyota needed more rear grip. Restarting on lap 57 from the 27th position, Mears allowed the laps to clock off during a long caution-free run.
Mears drove his way into the top-25 as the third yellow flew on lap 130. The adjustments made during the previous pit stop helped the GEICO Camry, so Mears brought his Toyota to the attention of his crew for four tires and fuel, with no changes to the handling.
Despite holding his spot inside the top-25, problems struck Mears on lap 158, when his Toyota would shut off in the corners. Mears successfully switched batteries while continuing to make laps, but the problem was persistent forcing the team to come to the garage for repairs. After changing batteries and working on the electrical interiors, Mears returned to the track, however the issue was not fixed. The GEICO crew then changed additional mechanical parts before solving the issue.
Mears returned to track on lap 229. Unfortunately, the tough luck cost the Germain Racing team 72 laps and placed the No. 13 in the 38th position. The team was unable to make up any spots, due to the number of laps down, until lap 410 when problems forced Dennis Setzer out of the race. The GEICO Racing team never gave up and continued to log laps and work on their Camry. Mears clocked lap times just as fast as the leaders in the final 100 laps of the race, despite damage to his machine. The checkered flag flew with Mears and the GEICO team in 37th-place.
The tremendous effort shown by the entire GEICO team allowed Mears and the No. 13 Toyota to remain inside the top-35 in the Owner Point Championship Standings, one point to the good over 36th-place owner Tommy Baldwin. The NASCAR Sprint Cup Series will return to the West Coast, as the fifth race of the season at Auto Club Speedway in Southern California will take place on Sunday, March 27, 2011.

Mooresville, N.C. (03-15-2011) – Saturday night, the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series took on the track Too Tough to Tame – Darlington Raceway. The South Carolina track is home to high speed racing and a fair share of run-in's with the retaining walls. Brendan Gaughan hadn't raced at the track in seven years, but, he says the return was all he expected – just not the result he wanted for the Germain Racing No. 62 South Point Hotel & Casino Tundra.
"Darlington was everything I wanted. We were fast. We were a top-5 Tundra. I got spun early and drove back from 30th place all the way up to eighth. The South Point Hotel & Casino Tundra passed everyone to do it. We had a great truck. The 62 team made great pit stop decisions," said Gaughan, explaining everything that went right before the team's Darlington luck came to a halt, resulting in a 25th-place finish. "In the end, on a restart, someone brake-checked the field and me and two other trucks got the damage. It took us out of position with 20 to go and made me a spectator."
Heading into the Darlington weekend, Gaughan and crew chief Bryan Berry decided to take a different approach to their practice strategy. The new strategy worked and Gaughan looks forward to seeing more improvements as the team fully adjusts to the new strategy.
"In first practice, we were 11th quick. Our goal was to unload off the trailer and post a qualifying speed in our first run out. It's a work in progress, but we went faster. We still improved our times as the practice session went on and the tires got older, but, we laid down some stronger lap times earlier in practice," explained Gaughan.
The change in philosophy is one that Gaughan looks forward to continuing to embrace.
"I need to lay down faster laps early in practice. At Darlington, I didn't stripe it on lap 2 and we went into practice and did what we needed to do. We had good practices. We aren't sure why we weren't better in qualifying, but that's all part of the learning process in changing our practice strategy," said Gaughan, who had wanted a much better qualifying position than the 23rd spot that he earned. "I really thought we were better, but that isn't what hurt us. We still had a great race in the South Point Hotel & Casino Tundra and we have a lot to build on for racing at Martinsville."
The next race for Gaughan and the No. 62 South Point Hotel & Casino Tundra is April 2nd at Martinsville Speedway in Martinsville, VA. Gaughan will participate in the track's Grub-N-Rub ticket and hospitality package offered by SPEED. Saturday morning, Gaughan will be part of a breakfast with fans who have purchased the Grub-n-Rub package for the Martinsville race weekend.
Gaughan holds eight Truck Series victories to go along with his two K&N Pro Series West championship titles. Follow Gaughan at www.BrendanGaughan.com or on Twitter @Brendan62.

Mooresville, N.C. (03-15-2011) – Returning to the winner's circle at Darlington Raceway was clearly the priority of the No. 30 Germain.com Tundra team and Germain Racing driver Todd Bodine. The team unloaded a chassis that ranked eighth in first practice and fourth after final practice. From a qualifying position of 12th, Bodine set his sights on the front of the field and enjoyed the147-laps of Darlington's NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race – with just a quick detour first.
"The truck was good. Unfortunately right there at the start, don't really know what happened at the start of the race with the left front tire, but it was vibrating really bad so we elected to come in and change it. We had to start in the rear basically," said Bodine of the unplanned pit stop too early in the night. "We had a great truck. The Germain.com Tundra did everything I needed it to do. That was a lot of fun racing like that. It was Darlington and she's back --she's tough underneath."
Bodine says Darlington's four year-old racing surface is slowly revealing some of the grit of years past, and the surface played into what was a very fun competition for the Truck Series drivers in Saturday's race. Bodine faced a restart just three laps before the race was set to conclude. He was up against eventual race winner, Kasey Kahne, and veteran Truck Series racer and fellow champion, Ron Hornaday Jr.
"When you have a situation like that and the position I was in, running second, you want to win and you want to pass him. That's what we're all here for, but the way our season has been going, we had to get to the checkered flag. I gave it a shot and got sucked around, got loose and all that so we finished third. The main thing was just don't wreck -- just don't cause a wreck, don't do something dumb. We're all here being professionals trying to race and put on a show. We did and it was another great show in the Truck Series as usual. If you remember what I said earlier in the race day about the veterans and what's going to happen at the end -- we were right there, the guys I said. Kasey (Kahne), Elliott (Sadler), Ron (Hornaday) and me. That's typical Darlington," said Bodine.
As excited as he was about the racing action and his team's performance, Bodine was also beaming about Truck Series fans at Darlington.
"It was a great race. I am so happy for Darlington Raceway -- look at the crowd we got. This tells you what the Truck Series is about. These fans are hardcore, they came out here on a Saturday night just to watch trucks race," smiled Bodine, who didn't forget the folks watching SPEED at home, either. "Everybody at home -- we appreciate you watching. Trucks are the greatest race and I'm loving it."
After three of 25 races, Bodine ranks seventh in the Truck Series points standings. Bodine races the No. 30 Tundra next at Martinsville Speedway in Martinsville, VA, on April 2nd.

Darlington Raceway has a reputation for being one of NASCAR's toughest race tracks. But the No. 77 Lofton Cattle Toyota Tundra team refused to relent to its challenges on Saturday, overcoming numerous obstacles in the Too Tough to Tame 200, and finishing with an impressive 13th place finish.
"The guys on this team worked nonstop all day. We had a rough start in practice but they thrashed on it and we got it turned around for qualifying. We had a good starting spot, but there's not much you can do when trucks scatter on the start. There was nowhere to go there and we suffered a bit of damage, but the guys fixed it up as best as they could and we kept digging," Lofton said.
Knowing that he had no points to rely on in order to make the event, Lofton and the No. 77 Lofton Cattle team showed no signs of concern early on after suffering through a spin and a "Darlington stripe" in both morning practice sessions. Instead, they simply worked harder, getting the truck ready for the afternoon qualifying run.
The hard work paid off, as Lofton laid down the 17th fastest speed, securing a solid starting spot for the race. Once the green flag waved however, more trouble found Lofton.
As the field got up to speed on the first lap, contact near the front of the field ignited a melee, collecting at least seven damaged race trucks, including Lofton's No. 77 Toyota.
Lofton radioed to crew chief Ryan Fugle that the wheel was off in addition to the cosmetic damage. He made multiple stops down pit road under the caution flag, with the crew repairing as much as they could before being forced to send him back on track for the restart.
Despite battling an ill-handling machine, Lofton maintained a spot on the lead lap through the third caution flag on lap 26. The yellow allowed him to make another trip to pit road. The crew swapped out right side tires and fixed the alignment. Lofton took the restart from the 30th position.
With a repaired truck, Lofton settled in behind the wheel, and consistently clicked off positions lap after lap.
By the time the yellow waved on lap 90, Lofton showed in the 13th position. At that time, Fugle called him to pit road. The crew worked their magic, laying down a solid four-tire change, gaining a position. Some leaders however, opted for two tires, leaving Lofton 12th for the restart.
Three more caution flags waved through the final 50 laps of the race, with spotter Mark Green calling Lofton through multiple near misses.
Lofton took advantage of one of those yellows, making his final pit stop of the night on lap 120. After taking on an air pressure adjustment, two tires, and fuel, Lofton rejoined the race in 17th.
With only three laps remaining following the final restart on lap 144, Lofton flexed his muscle, wheeling his battered, yet strong No. 77 Lofton Cattle Toyota Tundra to a solid 13th place finish.
"I can't thank my guys enough. Rudy (crew chief Ryan Fugle) is such a great motivator. He stayed positive, laid out a plan to get the truck fixed, and kept me focused. It feels great to leave Darlington with a 13th place finish after the challenges we faced all day," Lofton added.
After Darlington, Lofton picked up eight spots to 15th in the driver point standings. The No. 77 team will next hit the track on April 2 at Martinsville Speedway.

The GEICO Racing Team Battles Back from Three Laps Down at The Lady In Black
DARLINGTON, S.C. (March 13, 2011) – Known as the track that's 'Too Tough To Tame', Darlington Raceway proves to be a challenge for most teams that take on the historic asphalt track. Max Papis and the No. 9 GEICO Toyota Tundra team relished the opportunity to face 'The Lady In Black' as the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series rolled into town for the third stop of the 2011 season.
Another one day show for the Truck Series saw Papis and his Germain Racing team practice, qualify, and race all in a jam-packed schedule. After two and half hours of practice under the morning sun, Papis was confident in the set-up package in his GEICO Toyota. Without 2010 championship points to guarantee a spot in the 36-truck field, the Como, Italy native once again had to solidify his place in the Too Tough To Tame 200 with his qualifying attempt. With the temperature rising, Papis clocked a solid lap time of 28.798 seconds, placing the Gecko in the 18th starting position.
The green flag waved on the 147-lap race and immediately 'The Lady' struck, as a multi-truck accident collected Papis in turns one and two on the first lap. The No. 9 GEICO Toyota was hit on both the left and right sides of the truck, causing a lack of sideforce for the remainder of the event. Crew chief Randy Goss called his driver to pit road numerous times to repair the damage, change four tires, add Sunoco fuel, and make adjustments. The field restarted on lap five, with Papis scored in the 34th position. Three quick cautions were displayed over the next 35 circuits, as Mad Max had driven his way up to 26th-place.
On the lap 41 restart, the field checked up in front of the GEICO Tundra forcing Papis to pass trucks in front of him prior to crossing the start-finish line. Despite his attempt to avoid a wreck, a 'pass-through' penalty was assessed to the driver for this action. Having to drive down pit road under green flag conditions on lap 45, Papis lost three laps to the leaders and became mired back in the 33rd position. A caution for debris slowed the field on lap 59, allowing Papis to stay out and take the wave around to get one of the laps back.
Restarting on lap 63, Papis, two laps down, continued to remain optimistic while running in 32nd-place and unable to gain positions on the track. Clocking consistent lap times, another yellow flag was brought out on lap 74. Goss brought Papis back down pit road for four fresh tires, an air pressure adjustment to help the tight handling condition, and fuel. The Italian took the green flag on lap 79 from the 30th position. A short 10 laps later, the seventh caution slowed the pace, allowing Papis to take the wave around once again to receive another lap back. Running in the 28th position, Mad Max was the only truck one lap down to the leaders and in position for the Lucky Dog Award on the next caution.
That timely caution came just two laps later for a major wreck on the frontstretch, which caused a red flag period for clean up to take place. Once the red flag was lifted, Goss radioed for Papis to come back to the attention of his GEICO crew for four tires, fuel, and additional air pressure adjustments. The resilient nature of the Gecko was shown as the team retained their position back on the lead lap. Mad Max was on a mission to make up lost ground with 40 laps remaining in the race. By lap 107, Papis had battled his way into the 21st position.
Another debris caution was brought out on lap 119 and Papis returned to pit road for the final time of the evening for two right side tires and a wedge bolt adjustment as the GEICO Toyota was still fighting a tight condition. On lap 123, Papis restarted from 20th-place and drove his way into the top-15 in a 10-lap period. The final yellow flag came on lap 141, setting the stage for a three-lap shootout to the checkered flag. Unfortunately on the restart, the field stacked up again and drivers passed Papis in order to avoid an accident. This caused Mad Max three spots and left the GEICO team with an 18th-place finish.
"It was a tough night for the GEICO Racing team, but we came back to get a top-20 finish in the end," said Papis, after the race. "Darlington is a very demanding track for the driver and we got caught up in that wreck on lap one. The guys kept working on it and we got back on the lead lap, which we wanted to do from the beginning when we got behind. We also had that penalty in the middle of the race for passing before the start-finish line. That was very frustrating because I was just dodging trucks to not cause a big pile-up. We will take another good finish though and head to Martinsville in a couple weeks. I think we will have a very strong Toyota Tundra when we hit the track."
The tremendous effort shown by the entire No. 9 team has allowed Papis to remain inside the top-10 in the Truck Series Driver Championship Point Standings. Papis sits in the ninth position, only five points behind eighth-place Austin Dillon. The NASCAR Camping World Truck Series will take a three-week break before returning to action at Martinsville (Va.) Speedway on Saturday, April 2nd.

Lofton at Darlington - Preview
Posted by lori in Sherwin Williams , Lincoln Welders , Germain Racing
Justin Lofton, No. 77 Lofton Cattle Toyota Tundra
Track: Darlington Raceway
Event: Too Tough to Tame 200
When: Saturday, March 12th 5 PM (Eastern)
Broadcast information: 4:30 PM (Eastern), SPEED
Last Time Out: Justin Lofton qualified 24th for the 150-mile race at Phoenix two weeks ago, but despite a strong truck with a storied background within the Germain Racing stable, the Ryan Fugle led team suffered a setback when the throttle stop backed out, sending the No. 77 Toyota to pit road for prolonged repairs early in the running. Lofton made the best of the remainder of the race, running lap times consistent with top-10 trucks. Lofton and team ended the night in the 30th position.
Lofton at Darlington: Lofton logged his highest qualifying effort to date, qualifying in the third position, last August in Darlington. Though the track is dubbed "Too Tough to Tame" the California native had no problems early on learning the ropes around the abrasive 1.366-mile track. After laying down the top-five starting spot, Lofton ran a stellar race, maintaining a spot within the top-five most of the night before a late race run-in dropped him to 20th at the finish.
Down Time Details: Lofton spent the off weekend in between Phoenix and Darlington in his hometown of Brawley, California, shooting a music video with his production company Weekend Warriors TV. Lofton, along with co-owners, sister Brittany Lofton and business partner Brett Bortle, spent Saturday and Sunday filming with rock band Paperback Hero for their single Breath of Time. Following Darlington, Lofton and the WWTV crew will head to the Field Filler Fairgrounds for some go-kart racing. During his break in competition next weekend, Lofton plans on heading to Colorado to partake in snowmobiling with friend Rusty Szymanski. Szymanski serves as Lofton's navigator when he's behind the wheel of an off-road machine.
Truck Information: Lofton will race chassis GR010 this week in Darlington. Lofton and the No. 77 team ran this truck two weeks ago on the one-mile Phoenix International Raceway. The truck has a solid history within the Germain Racing stable. Teammate Todd Bodine raced the truck numerous times last season en route to multiple top-five runs.
Lofton on Darlington: "I am really excited for Darlington. As a rookie, I had a really good run there last year. I really liked the track. It's unique and challenging but a lot of fun to race. My teammate Todd Bodine won there last year, so that just gives the team an added boost heading into the weekend."
Crew Chief Ryan "Rudy" Fugle on Darlington:"The team had a chance with the week off to focus on all of the small details and because of that, we are heading to the track this weekend rejuvenated. We're going to start fresh and put the first two races and the bad luck behind us. This is a good truck and Justin ran really well in Darlington last year. We plan on running up front and mixing it up for the win."

Determining when to plant a garden can be somewhat confusing in Utah's unpredictable, varied climate where last-frost dates can vary by many days within just a few miles. Many experienced gardeners have planted at one point and later lost the plants to frost.
An example of how fickle Utah's climate can be is in Cache Valley. Frost-free days vary from an average of 113 days in Lewiston and Trenton to 158 days on the USU campus. Similar examples occur across the state. Although exact last-frost dates are not available for all areas, a person can still determine when to plant. Often, the best thing to do is chat with a local farmer or experienced gardener in the area.Â
Consider the geographic characteristics of where you live. When a yard is located in a populated area or on a mountain bench, it usually has a longer growing season.
Other areas located at slightly lower elevations, where cold air drains and cannot escape, have a shorter season due to the increased cold air. This is why local commercial orchards are generally located on benches. Additionally, urban and suburban areas are slightly warmer than surrounding areas due to the urban heat effect. Heat from buildings and warmth generated by sunlight reflected from roads and other surfaces increase temperatures and delay frost.
Price generally has 148 frost-free days between May 12 and Oct. 7.
In addition to knowing frost information, a wise gardener takes into account the needs of the plants. Vegetables planted locally fall into four basic categories: hardy, semi-hardy, tender and very tender. Depending on the category, planting dates vary from early spring until early summer. Consider the following:
 Hardy vegetables, including asparagus, broccoli, cabbage, onions, peas and spinach, can be planted as soon as the soil is workable in early spring. This usually ranges between 45 and 60 days before the average last frost. These same vegetables can be safely planted until the date of the average last frost.Â
 Semi-hardy plants, such as beets, carrots, lettuce and potatoes, can be planted one to two weeks after the hardy group. These can be planted until the average last-frost date.
 Tender vegetables, such as celery, cucumbers, corn and most beans, should be planted on the average last-frost date in your area.Â
 Very tender plants, such as squash, beans, melons, tomatoes, eggplants and peppers, should not be planted until at least a week after the average last frost has passed. Even if frost does not occur before this time, these plants will not grow well and are more susceptible to disease until warmer weather.Â
If you have lost plants to frost, you are not alone. It is often due to Utah's fickle weather, and all gardeners can do is try again.
Edamame (ed-uh-mah-may), or green vegetable soybeans, has been a long-time favorite snack food in Asia and is now gaining popularity in the United States.Â
Edamame is a healthy snack choice. Green soybeans are a great source of protein, fiber, vitamins and minerals. They have zero cholesterol and are high in the "good" fatty acids.
If you can grow green beans, you can grow edamame. Consider this information.
After danger of frost is past, plant seeds 2 inches apart and about 1 1/2 inches deep in rows that are 12 to18 inches apart. Keep the soil moist until seedlings emerge. Mature plants are roughly the size of bush green beans at about 18 to 24 inches tall.Â
Edamame has few pests. Plants sometimes suffer from iron chlorosis, which is demonstrated by * Edamame pods are ready to harvest from 70 to 90 days after planting. Varieties to consider, in order of ripening time, are: Soy Good, Envy, Beer Friend (yes, really), Early Hakucho, Lucky Lion, Midori Giant, Bee Sweet, Butterbeans and Sayamusume.
Harvest pods when they are plump and well filled, but before they turn from green to brown. Each pod typically contains two to three beans. All pods on a given plant mature at about the same time, so you can pick many soybeans in a short time when they're ripe. To extend the harvest season, plant several varieties that ripen at different times.Â
   As the name "Beer Friend" suggests, edamame is usually eaten as a snack food, like peanuts. To prepare, boil whole pods in salted water for about 5 minutes. Allow pods to cool before serving. To eat, pinch the pod between your thumb and index finger to "shoot" the beans into your mouth.Â
   A bowl of cooked soybean pods looks somewhat like a mass of fuzzy, lumpy, green caterpillars. People quickly forget the pods' unusual appearance when they taste the beans. Edamame has a nutty, sweet flavor that even vegetable-hating kids have been known to love.Â
   Frozen edamame fetches a premium price in the grocery store, but you can easily freeze your own. First, wash the mature green pods, then blanch for 3 minutes in boiling water. Cool and dry the pods and pack in freezer bags. To prepare the frozen beans, cook them in boiling, salted water for 4 to 5 minutes or until the beans are heated through.
