2012 AMSOIL Mopar Muscle Numbers Don't Lie ShowdownWritten by on August 15, 2012 Contributors: Rob Fisher, Dave Young, Greg Clark War of the Wheel
It was an inaugural event to remember. Let me take that back; it was a GREAT inaugural event to remember. This year at the 2012 Mopar Nationals, we held the first ever AMSOIL presents the Mopar Muscle Numbers Don't Lie Dyno Showdown. Hatched as an event to allow our loyal readership to showcase the true power of their cars, the two day extravaganza took over an entire corner of the Mopar Nationals' manufacturer's midway. The concept was simple, randomly choose 20 reader vehicles from a pre-registered group, divide them into two divisions (power adder and non-power adder) and strap them to a mobile chassis dyno to determine who had the most powerful street Mopar in America. It was our readers chance to etch their name in history.
Our eclectic mix of Mopars ranged in horsepower numbers from a bone stock restored '69 Road Runner in the mid-200's, all the way up to a wild '71 Cuda. We also had the battle of not one but two couples. Darren Tedder and Terry Brown squared off in the Non-Power Adder class while Jaime and Jason Thompson went head to head in the Power-Adder class. It was a battle of the sexes where bragging rights in one was decided by the razor thin margin of a single horsepower.
For Part 1 of the full story head on over to newsstands and pick up the January 2013 issue of Mopar Muscle which goes on sale October 23. Part 2 will follow up in the February issue. In the meantime, check out all of the pictures and results here as well as the accompanying videos from the AMSOIL presents the Mopar Muscle Numbers Don't Lie Showdown.

This Facebook comment about Mike Waite's '69 Road Runner summed up the thoughts of several people: "Sounds low, better sell it.... How much u want 4 it"? -- Brian MacLennan
We're pretty sure it went back home with Mike.
Now, after checking out all of the entries and their results if you feel the need to argue that our winners might not have the most powerful car in America, then we challenge you to come and prove it next year. So if you plan to be the big dog next year, you better bring a St. Bernard because you'll have to pull more than 926hp to take home the trophy.
And it gets better. To make the 2013 Showdown even better we will be adding two more classes. If you want to join in the fun next year, your vehicle will fall into either our Power Adder and Non-Power Adder classes, or the newly added Outlaw and Diesel Classes. Keep an eye looking on the website, our Facebook page and on the printed pages of Mopar Muscle magazine for details coming soon.

Our second run of the day was from Bryan Miller and his '66 Belvedere. Yep, it's got a Hemi. Even with the engine miss coming in around 4,500 rpm, he still managed 415hp during the challenge.Our third roller-runner was Dave Belcarz with his 2003 Ram. 268hp in stock trim is right about on par with advertised numbers.Tim Almasy's '99 Dakota is all stock, if you don't count the addition of a 440 and a TorqueFlite. Actually, Andy our dyno operator feels that the torque convertor might be a little too loose for the truck, as the Dak could only muster 360hp.Day two saw Bill Cherry's 392 Challenger hit the dyno without a power adder. He started the day off with 409hp.Chaz Hoffner's turbo assisted Dakota only runs 7 pounds of boost through the stock 360 engine. With the stock engine and conservatively breathing turbos, Chaz managed 368hp.In the "holy crap it made what" category, was Darren Tedder's non-power adder Hemi-powered '71 Cuda. With only 926hp, it might be able to take you cruising.Who doesn't love a B-Body, especially one like this stunning '70 Charger R/T belonging to Ben Leonard that put out a respectable 262 horses.The 500-inch low-deck stroker in this '68 Coronet R/T belonged to Pennsylvanian Tom Herrington. On the surface his non-power added 400 horsepower number was respectable but he found a problem with the carburetor later in the day. We're hoping he brings the '68 back next year for another shot at the title.
The weld work in the engine bay of Brian Akers''01 Dakota R/T was beyond impressive as was the 408-inch stroker with 150-shot of nitrous. Weak bottle pressure only netted 417 horses in the Power Adder category. Still that was enough to keep the lead well into Day 2.'08 Super Bee's are cool. They're even cooler when you put an AirRaid Cold Air Kit and a Predator tune on them like Jon Brooks from Zanesville, Ohio, did. That was enough to net him 381 pavement pounding ponies.When Jacksonville, North Carolina's Jaime Thompson pulled into the Showdown arena in her '09 Challenger SRT 8, all eyes were on the gorgeous red Hemi. Her 6.1 Hemi with a 2.8L Kenne Bell Supercharger thumped down an impressive 541hp to take over the lead in the Power Adder category. But power-adders run in this family and her husband Jason was waiting in the wings to prove his Dakota's superiority.Active duty Marine, Jason Thompson, brought his '02 Dakota R/T and its 408 stroker with a Paxton NOVI 2000 supercharger to do battle with his lovely wife on the AMSOIL dyno (as well as the other contestants). Sadly, Jason's Dakota could only muster 540 ponies. That's right, Jaime beat her husband by one little horsepower. Now she gets bragging rights for a full year!Late model cars were well represented in the Showdown, but there was none better looking than Eddie Streeter's '07 Chrysler 300 SRT 8, which he drove up from Louisville, Kentucky. A super healthy 364 horsepower without a power adder made Eddie smile.'67 Coronets are awesome looking cars and with a beautiful factory restoration, Lonnie Jeffereson's 440-powered car put out a nice number of 369 in the non-power adder class.In round 2 of our couple's competition, Terry Brown brought her '66 Belvedere to go up against boyfriend Darren Tedder's '71 Cuda. The 500-inch Hemi, which we understand Darren built, made a ridiculous 578 horsepower without a power adder...still, that wasn't enough to best Darren...wonder if he stacked the deck in his favor?Dan Austin's '67 Barracuda sported a 340 Stroker that put out 314 naturally aspirated ponies. In a light car like that, we bet the Dimondale, Michigan, native has a lot of fun behind the wheel
Our lone-diesel in the competition belonged to Zanesville, Ohio's Patrick Friel. Sporting a 5.9L Cummins Diesel in an '04 RAM 3500, Patrick notched a respectable 370 in the Power Adder class (Cummins have turbos), but what was really impressive was his torque number of 826 lbs/ftRick Trunkett made the short journey from just up the road in Cleveland and as the final contestant in the Power Adder class gave the spectators a thrill. His 1972 turbocharged small-block Duster laid down an impressive 781 horsepower to take top honors in the Power Adder class.

5 Things You Need to Know About the iPhone 5
If the growing buzz by smartphone manufacturers and tech bloggers is to be believed, we're now just a few weeks away from the iPhone 5. Apple has been fairly quiet, but that's typical of this secretive company. Using history and the rumor mill as our guide, we can begin to arrive at some fairly likely conclusions. Let's go over five of them.

Over time, it is typical for the skin on the body to experience issues, problems and concerns. The Caudalie Paris Slimming line was designed just for the problem areas of the body such as the thighs, hips and belly. Caudalie Paris Slimming addresses the problems of sagging skin and cellulite with its signature natural formulas. After a certain age, many women feel that their figures aren't as slim and refined as they would like. Cellulite affects the large majority of women and can start as early as the 20s or even younger. Improving the appearance of that signature orange peel skin requires a commitment to a program that will help achieve great results while maintaining the new look.
Caudalie Paris Slimming can be added to any beauty regimen for a better overall appearance. Caudalie Paris Slimming tackles bulging bellies, hips and thighs with natural essential oils from sources such as juniper berries, geranium, lemongrass, grape seed, cypress, lemon and rosemary. Essential oils stimulate the skin and help refine the physique for a more slender, tighter appearance. Caudalie Paris Slimming products can be used to treat sagging and bulging skin but they can also be used as maintenance products for continued long term benefits.
Just as the face on the skin can be revived to appear more youthful and refined, the body can also greatly benefit from a regular and consistent program designed to tone, tighten and smooth.
Oftentimes the body experiences multiple skin issues including dullness, loss of elasticity and cellulite. These problems frequently go hand in hand and it's best to choose a program that will tackle several different concerns. Caudalie Crushed Cabernet Scrub is a body exfoliator that is formulated with a blend of essential oils designed to help improve the quality of the skin. The essential oils are combined with honey, brown sugar and grape seeds that have been crushed to a grainy consistency.
Caudalie Crushed Cabernet Scrub eliminates dead, dull skin cells on the surface to smooth and refine. When dead cells are eliminated, active ingredients can penetrate the young, healthy skin cells in order to activate the repairing process. Caudalie Crushed Cabernet Scrub's blend of essential oils helps promote lymphatic drainage in order to reduce the unsightly appearance of cellulite. The formula tightens, tones and slims in order to deliver a more refined physique.
Caudalie Crushed Cabernet Scrub is a nourishing formula, containing ingredients that are good for the skin and help to promote better health and cell function. This is an elegant product that can be considered a pampering treat when used twice a week in the bath or shower. Massage the product onto wet skin in circular motions and then thoroughly rinse. Follow with a moisturizer to seal in hydration.

Man in stable condition after train hit his car Sunday
Published: Monday, December 10, 2012 at 5:06 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, December 10, 2012 at 5:06 p.m.
The 25-year-old Citra man who was thrown from his car after it was struck by a train over the weekend was in stable condition Monday at a local hospital.
Jedrek Tyrell Turner reportedly tried to drive around the activated railroad crossing gate at State Road 326, just east of Northeast 36th Avenue at 3 a.m. Sunday, according to Florida Highway Patrol reports.
Before Turner could drive over the tracks, the 2001 Hyundai he was driving was hit by a southbound train. Turner, who was not wearing a seatbelt, was thrown from the car, reports state.
Turner was taking to the newly-opened Level II trauma center at Ocala Regional Medical Center. He was listed in stable condition Monday afternoon, said ORMC spokeswoman Suzanne Santangelo.
Charges in the crash are pending, authorities said.

|Credit union celebrates 75 years
|Written by Kyle Arnoldy
With another successful year under their belt, as reported at the annual meeting Monday, Feb. 18, Holyoke and Imperial, Neb. Community Federal Credit Unions have much to be thankful for from 2012 and much to look forward to in 2013.
Along with the strong financial standing, Holyoke Credit Union is also celebrating its 75th anniversary this year. The credit union first became a charter credit union June 26, 1928.
The Holyoke Credit Union is tentatively planning a barbecue on June 26 to celebrate the anniversary.
It was also announced that the Haxtun Credit Union will no longer be merging with the Holyoke and Imperial credit unions.
Haxtun had approached the credit unions with the merger, but when the initial merger application was tabled by the National Credit Union Administration because no application for an expansion of field of membership was filed, the Haxtun Credit Union decided to pull their request.
Future looks bright for credit unions
Financially, the credit unions are in solid shape as board members reported positive statistics for the 2012 year.
Vice president Mendi Lutze addressed real estate loans in the community. Although they might not always be capable of loaning out as much as desired by members, the real estate market has remained stable.
She reported that the credit unions still had 85.2 percent for their loans to assets ratio and 71.9 percent of real estate to assets. Delinquencies on all loans for 2012 were close to just a half percent.
Due to health issues that have forced president Ron Goldenstein to take an administrative leave, Lutze was responsible for providing the president's report.
Lutze made sure to acknowledge the work done by all staff and board members. She also thanked the loan officer and supervisory committees for their ongoing work.
The Holyoke and Imperial Federal Credit Unions saw a 50 percent growth in net income from 2011, as reported by board chair Laura Bittner during her report.
After paying off the required $27,396.57 to the NCUA for the insurance fund, the total combined net income was $201,876.72, treasurer Charles Milner reported. He also noted that 85 percent of the credit union assets are loaned out to members.
Milner commented on the net income expectations for the future, stating that with expected low interest rates and a sizeable loan portfolio, net income should remain relatively high.
For 2012, the credit unions handled 329 loans. Of those, 288 were closed on. Loan officer Debra Dusenbury-Dorren relayed to members that 66 percent of these loans were new, 33 percent were loan extensions and less than one percent were rejected.
Loan services amounted to $5,457,754.87, with 73 percent going towards real estate and 27 percent for vehicles, share, signatures and other types of loans. Dusenbury-Dorren noted that of all the total loans, only $528,720 were unrecovered.
Supervisory committee co-chairperson Tom Balding reported that during the September credit union auditing, no areas of concern were found.
Board members elected
Incumbents Nancy Berges, Scott Murray and Wanda Westfahl were elected to the board of directors of the Holyoke/Imperial Federal Credit Union for another three-year term.
They will join Bittner, Steve Starkebaum, Milner and Garold Roberts on the board. A dinner catered by Blisties and served by members of the Challengers 4-H group was provided for members before the annual meeting.
In what has become an annual event, members who were lucky enough to be picked were able to enter the money machine in hopes of scoring big with cash and gift certificate prizes.

· 86% of capital improvements will be to maintain current parks and facilities
· There are few new projects, and those are made possible by grants and donations (Alpine Hills Adventure Park, Jamestown Park playground replacement, Teahouse at Eclipse Lagoon, boat docks at Riverfront Museum Park, and the accessible fishing pier at Sinnissippi Riverfront)
ROCKFORD (WIFR) -- The Rockford Park District passed its 2013 budget Tuesday night. This years operating budget comes in around $30 million, that's a little less than last year.

Here's the new adidas dress Ana Ivanovic will be wearing to start off her 2010 campaign in Oz.
It's a continuation of the Adilibria line she wore this year and features a drop waist, deeper neckline, close body fit and side pleats. The core yellow dress is made from adidas' trademark ClimaCool moisture management technology which will help keep her body at optimum playing temperature.
Here's a closer look:
I'm loving the yellow color especially against NaturAna's darker skin tones and the blue backdrop of the courts in Oz. It does look like it fits better than anything she wore this year as well.
Her website will be releasing videos of the former No.1 in this dress along with her Roland Garros dress so stay tuned!
UPDATE: Here's NaturAna unveiling both the Oz Open + Roland Garros dresses at a photoshoot in NYC. Thanks Curtis!

(UPDATED) FASHION FIX: NaturAna goes mellow yellow Down Under

7 comments:
Rich, this is the video that Ana's website is referring to. They're just slow putting stuff up.ReplyDelete
I agree that the yellow will look great with her tan and Australian sunlight. It's nice to see Adidas give her something nice to wear for exchange instead of the uniboob mess from earlier this season. I also love her orange dress she will be earing at Roland Garros. These two dresses are probably the best Ana's has worn since AO and RG 2008. Hopefully she will have as much success in her new dresses as she did in those.
Based on Ana's hair in that video, Adam must have a huge smile on his face.ReplyDelete
Yeah NaturAna looks particularly hawt here. I'd kill for that skin tone...and height...and body...hair...ReplyDelete

i love the yellow on her. this is probably one of my fave dresses (aside from her '08 aussie open cyan blue dress and the one that she wore this year for wimbly). a lovely dress for a lovely girl. nice job, adidas! will naturAna wear this exclusively? i'd hate to see this on any other player. btw, any idea what shrieka is wearing? (these two girls are the only ones that i care about when it comes to WTA fashion.)ReplyDelete

Skins game
Harold Varner takes aim at becoming one of the rarest things in golf — a black pro.
By Spencer Campbell
Teenage golfers with skill, ambition and wherewithal play American Junior Golf Association tournaments. The Braselton, Ga.-based nonprofit holds multiday events on elite courses from Maine to California that attract college coaches and sponsors such as Polo and Rolex. The usual entry fee is $280, but that doesn't include qualifying fees ($95 to $120) and expenses (many teens travel the circuit like PGA Tour pros). Harold Varner III's folks couldn't afford that, so he competed in Carolinas Golf Association tournaments, where entry fees are no more than $120. It was at one of those that Press McPhaul first noticed him. Varner was 14 or 15, not much taller than his golf bag and, East Carolina University's men's golf coach swears, wearing tennis shoes. His loopy swing produced a powerful and occasionally wayward hook. "But he was having more fun than anyone else."
Something else that made Varner stand out: He's black. Though he starred at Forestview High School in Gastonia, finishing runner-up at the state tournament his junior and senior years, top college programs didn't recruit him. McPhaul pursued polished players, too, but they passed on ECU. So he took a flier on the energetic kid he had spotted a few years before. "Press called me and was, like, 'I want you to come to East Carolina,'" Varner recalls. "Deal! I'll forever be indebted to them because of that."
Shortly after arriving in Greenville in 2008, he went to McPhaul's office to discuss his ultimate goal: the PGA Tour. In the preceding three years, 3,859 men had attempted to qualify for golf's elite circuit. Ninety-four succeeded. The best players in the world stood only a 60% chance of making it. Men of his race nearly never did. Still, McPhaul began outlining steps — such as exercise, eating right, practicing — in the lower-left corner of a grease board in his office. He worked diagonally across it, creating stairs to the opposite corner, where he ran out of room. He had to scribble the final step, "PGA Tour," on the cinder-block wall above it. "It sort of stuck up there in perpetuity. He had a really long staircase to climb."
Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla.-based PGA Tour Inc. barred black players until 1961, when Charlotte-born Charles Sifford became its first African-American member, but the sport clung to segregation for decades after. "Golf has many ways of keeping the black man in his place," Sifford wrote in his 1992 autobiography, Just Let Me Play. "We're still not invited to some tournaments, and the endorsements and appearance fees and special bonuses of golf continue to elude us." In 1990, a black kid from California shared Sifford's sense of exclusion. "Every time I go to a major country club," Tiger Woods told a reporter, "you can always feel it, you can always sense it. People are always staring at you. 'What are you doing here? You shouldn't be here.'" He won the Masters Tournament by 12 strokes seven years later, supposedly throwing open the gates to black pros. Nearly two decades later, he is the only one on the PGA Tour. "Tiger seems to be on his way out or close to it," says Earl Smith, professor emeritus of sociology at Wake Forest University. "There's been no trail, there's been no coattails after Tiger."
Woods earned more than $80 million in winnings and endorsements last year, according to Golf Digest, so it's not that blacks are excluded from making money on the Tour. But socioeconomic obstacles fill the gaps left by discrimination. About a quarter of all households with annual income exceeding $100,000 have someone playing golf. That falls off dramatically in black households — but not white ones — making between $50,000 and $75,000 a year. "There's access to instruction, access to clubs, access to golf courses, access to equipment, access to playing in tournaments," McPhaul says. "There's still a barrier there."
Then there are the long odds every pro, no matter his color, must overcome. In most sports, a player is drafted by a team that provides support — coaches, equipment, salary — so he can focus on his game. But pro golfers are their own startups. They pay their expenses, coordinate travel and negotiate endorsements — not to mention carve out time to practice and play. Many never figure it out. Each year, more than 1,000 players vie for 45 slots on the Web.com Tour, golf's version of minor-league baseball. Purses are much smaller than the PGA Tour's, though expenses can be as costly. Sleeping in cars is not unheard of. Web.com golfers can play their way onto the PGA Tour, where the 82nd-ranked player earned more than $1 million last year.
Varner, now 23, improved at ECU, becoming the best player in Conference USA. He turned pro after graduating in 2012 and spent two years grinding on a regional tour before making this year's Web.com Tour — one step from the PGA Tour. To get there, he has relied on a team he drafted. Some members have been with him for years; others he recently hired. "Opportunity is everything," Varner says. "If you are surrounded by the right people, they'll provide the right opportunity." As McPhaul says, "His access to resources growing up may have denied him opportunities, but I don't worry about doors being closed for him anymore."
It's not that he came late to the game. As a kid in Akron, Ohio, Varner used to swing his Fisher-Price clubs in front of a mirror, mimicking his dad. When he was 6, the family moved to Gastonia, where Harold Varner Jr. got a job selling Buicks. He would bring home marketing posters of Woods, who endorsed the brand. "Tiger Woods hooked him," he says. But others reeled him in. Driving him to a tournament, his parents sometimes were late to work. His father's retired friends played with him. For $100 he got access to the municipal course any weekday, all summer long. But while Varner was on an easy public course, crafting a homemade swing and playing with his father's Titleist irons, his future competitors enjoyed the best instruction, equipment and private courses money could buy. A top-ranked amateur near his age was Peter Uihlein of Orlando, Fla. His father is chairman and CEO of Fairhaven, Mass.-based Acushnet Co., which owns Titleist.
About the time McPhaul noticed him at a tournament in Fayetteville, Varner started taking care of carts at Gaston Country Club. The job gave him access to one of the state's best courses as well as Bruce Sudderth, who had coached a U.S. Women's Open champ. Sudderth took him on as a pupil. One of the members even let him use a set of Mizuno MP 32 irons, which cost more than $1,000 new. At ECU, Varner played the first tournaments of his freshman year but was benched in the spring. He was struggling academically, and his social life had affected his play. Gradually, he got better at managing his time — not that he ever became a monk. "Some Fridays I was a little hung over, but I had to wake up at 6 a.m. Who cares? They are paying you to go to school." Under Sudderth's direction, Varner's swing had turned compact and consistent. The school outfitted him with top-notch equipment.
He was playing well enough by summer 2010 to make the field at the U.S. Amateur Championship. He became the first black to win the North Carolina Amateur Championship and the first ECU player to earn Conference USA player of the year. He also was the first in his family to earn a college degree (marketing). When he went pro in 2012, McPhaul offered another piece of advice: "I wanted to see him with a really good team around him. I wanted to see people around him who are committed to his development, who treat him rightly, who watch out for him. He's still awfully young." Sudderth was more blunt: "You need to get an agent. You're not really on top of your stuff."
"Status" is more than a symbol. Those who have it are members of the PGA or Web.com tours. Those who don't can get into PGA Tour-sanctioned events through backdoors, but most play "minitours." His first year as a pro, Varner competed in events organized by Charlotte-based eGolf Professional Tour LLC. On the PGA and Web.com tours, tournament sponsors pay the winnings. Entry fees of $1,000 per player create the purses on the eGolf circuit. If competitors score well, they make money. If they struggle, they lose their investment.
Varner won't say much about his first agent, whom he hired after turning pro and fired shortly thereafter, except that she made him shoulder too much. But through her he hired Scott Brady, a Fort Lauderdale, Fla.-based financial planner with Wells Fargo Advisors LLC. "For young guys like Harold, we really want to concentrate on budgeting, everything he spends on the road. We wanted to watch those expenses." So when Varner bought a Honda CR-V, his money manager tapped the breaks on a big down payment. "Financing more kept more liquidity for entrance fees."
Varner played six eGolf tournaments in 2012, winning $11,500, but he didn't have many expenses. All 24 events on eGolf's schedule that year were in the Carolinas or Virginia, many within easy driving distance of Varner's parents' house in Gastonia, where he lived. He could usually find a friend with a spare bed close to the others. "I'm all about if I have a bed and it's free, I'm going to stay there. I'll stay on the couch."
That was the last year golfers could qualify for the PGA Tour through "Q School" — a multistage competition held in the fall and winter. Varner missed the final leg by seven shots, but he did catch the attention of Empire Sports Management LLC, a small agency in Charleston, S.C. "Our goal is to sign the guys that are going to have PGA Tour status in one to two years and are going to develop into top 50 players in the world," says Jeff Stacy, a former agent at New York-based IMG Worldwide Inc., which represents more than 1,000 professional athletes. Varner is one of four or five golfers in his stable at Empire. Varner trusted the agency because it represents his best friend, an ex-University of South Carolina player. "My goal for Harold, and it varies by kid, is he just wants to play golf." So Stacy enters him into tournaments, books his flights, handles media requests and haggles with potential sponsors.
Varner took a mulligan on the eGolf tour in 2013 and split the fairway. "I made a lot of money. I think I made 40-something thousand." He actually made $54,418. His biggest check, $9,000, came with a second-place finish in Morganton. Varner even qualified for the U.S. Open Championship, though he didn't make the cut. His hot streak carried into Q School, where he finished 32nd. But the rules had changed. It no longer offers a direct path to the PGA Tour. The top 45 finishers go on the Web.com Tour. At the end of the year, that tour's top 75 players will join those ranked 126 to 200 on the PGA Tour in a three-tournament battle royale. The 50 standing at the top of the money list earn PGA Tour cards for the following season. "I don't think it's a great idea, but I don't have any reason to stress," Varner says. "I'm not going to die if I play bad."
Gaining "status" is like going from the Econo Lodge to the Ritz-Carlton. Varner now has access to the PGA Tour's excellent health benefits and tax-deferred retirement plan. (Brady now has to budget for those, too.) He also can play and practice for free at any of the more than 30 courses in the TPC Network, a subsidiary of the PGA Tour. So on Dec. 30, Varner moved to Jacksonville, Fla., home of TPC Sawgrass. It's one of the best courses in the U.S. He's living for free with a friend from Gastonia, though most of his belongings are still in his room at his parents' house. Lee Janzen — who lives in Orlando, Fla., and has won two U.S. Opens — has taken him under his wing. Also: no state income tax. "That's why professional athletes are down there," Varner says. "I plan on making a good amount of money. Why would I stay here when I can save money by being down there?"
He's only back at Gaston Country Club in early February so his coach can critique his swing. "I don't know how long it will be. I have to get some things straightened out here." That's because he's flying to Los Angeles to compete in his first official PGA Tour event, the Northern Trust Open. He'll play on a minority exemption named for Sifford, who won the event in 1969. Varner is quick to rattle off what victory would mean to him: "I'll be $1.2 million richer. I'll be a PGA Tour member. … I'll play at Augusta." Race isn't weighing too heavily on his mind right now, but he's realistic. "I will never be able to get away from that. You'll never be, like, 'Oh, Harold's just a golfer.' It's pretty obvious. There's not many of us out there. … I'll get that question next week. Whatever. I'm going to play good."
After more than two hours with Sudderth, he enters the men's lounge and whips out his smartphone. Stacy has sent him 10 emails. "He says: 'Confirm you have received your passport/Brazilian visa when you head home tonight.' Then he sent me an itinerary, which is awesome. I need that." Stacy also arranged to get tickets to the Northern Trust Open for some friends and two sweaters from his apparel sponsor. "He said they'll be in my locker on Monday." This is why Varner doesn't mind paying him 15% of the money the agent brings in. "I can make 100% more than that if I can use that time on the golf course."
Sponsors include Cleveland Golf for clubs and balls, Charleston, S.C.-based Southern Tide LLC for clothes and Status4, a scorecard-sharing smartphone app. Southern Tide's apparel is "preppy," very popular with young white men. The company did not respond to inquiries from Business North Carolina, but Marlene Morris Towns, a professor of marketing at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C., says endorsing a black golfer could diversify its customer base. "A brand like that really has a lot more to gain in terms of exposure and broadening its audience."
"Does race matter corporately? We'll see," Stacy says. "I don't know what the answer is, but I do think that Harold is as talented as any of the kids who've turned professional since he turned professional, and that includes some kids who have won a lot of big amateur events and played well in PGA Tour events." Stacy won't specify terms of Varner's endorsement deals, but sponsors pay a retainer plus bonuses based on performance and status, meaning Varner got a bump when he made the Web.com Tour. He also gets $2,000 to $4,000 for making it into a PGA Tour event. That means Los Angeles is already paid for, considering the entry fee is small ($100), the event provides a courtesy car (Mercedes-Benz) and he has a free place to stay (a friend of a friend). His major expense will be a caddy (about $1,000).
Varner makes a strong charge out of the gate, averaging a tournament-best 320.6-yard driving distance off the tee on his way to second place through 12 holes, but two late bogeys drag him down the leaderboard, finishing the round at a 2-under-par 69. A 1-over-par 72 for the second round begins a slow slide. The weekend is especially tough. He cards another 72 on Saturday and an ugly 75 the final round, finishing 70th. "I just didn't play well." Nevertheless, he earns his highest wage ever for four days' work — $13,199. Maybe more important, he served notice, and in March received another sponsor's exemption into a PGA Tour event, this one to Wells Fargo Championship in Charlotte, April 28-May 4. "The industry knows who Harold Varner is," Stacy says. "Northern Trust validated that he's definitely worth keeping an eye on." That will only pay off, however, if he can reach the landing at the top of the stairs.

5-O goes back even further than California late 80's. It's origins are a reference to an old 70's TV show called Hawaii 5-0 starring Jack Lord. The police were 5-O and eventually the show lingo caught on as hip among petty criminals in southern California.
"STOP, Hawaii 5-O!!!!"
....blah, blah, blah- small struggles, throw a few punches - handcuffs criminal and stuffs them in the back of a patrol car ....
"Book 'em Danno", said Steve Garrett.
by ex-wife of 5- Oh April 26, 2003
The 5O or more appropraitely, 5-O, refers to the police forces, usually by parties that do not like them.
Here comes the 5O, run!
by Gumba Gumba April 14, 2004
5-0 became a slang term for law enforcement (aka police) after the hit show "Hawaii Five-O". The show was centered around a fictional division inside the State-Police of Hawaii and carried the same name as the television show ("Hawaii Five-0". The division's name gets its origin from honoring the fact that Hawaii was the 50th state to become apart of the United States of America.
On a side note, the division was actually called "Hawaii Five-0" (as in Zero, no the letter "o") but IMDB has the show listed with the letter "o" in the tittle.

when you're doing something you're not supposed to be doing and someone yells 5'0 that means they're giving you a warning because you're going to get caught
say you're looking through the teachers drawer and your friend is on the look out and see's your teacher coming, he/she will yell 5'O so you can be warned and pretend like you're innocent

Blades gained widespread recognition in 1985 as co-writer and star of the independent "Crossover Dreams" (1985), exhibiting real screen presence as a New York salsa singer willing to do anything to break into the mainstream. He was also the subject of Robert Mugge's fascinating music documentary "The Return of Ruben Blades", which debuted at that year's Denver Film Festival. After finding himself in two 1987 stinkers, "Critical Condition" (with Richard Pryor) and "Fatal Beauty" (with Whoopi Goldberg), Blades rebounded nicely with Robert Redford's "The Milagro Beanfield War" (1988), playing the modern-day New Mexico sheriff of the charming, fanciful fable.

Here in Fall river county, got in yesterday with an archery antelope tag in my pocket. Saw some good bucks in good spots in Nebraska on the way in. I am trying to get it done spot and stalk here and this country is challenging to be sure, not that its easy anywhere. Few goats around, but not sure what will be left after rifle season. After driving 22 hours from Houston, I ran into 2 other hunters here from the northwest side of Houston doing the same thing I am, kind of funny. This is my last night in the hotel, be camping out on the grasslands the next several days, just gotta find one in a good spot that wants to die.
A few pics from the 2 half days I've put in before I go off the grid:
Coming thru the pine ridge in Nebraska:
Nebraska goats:
This guy came out near some goats I was stalking at sunset yesterday. After that didn't work out I got close to take some pictures and he scrambled up a lone cottonwood on the dried up tank dam on the prarie.
Blown morning stalk:
Big thanks to my buddy who let me borrow his Mel Dutton decoy:
Good luck on your hunt. Keep the pics coming!!
Well, hunt is done. I tagged one in South Dakota, probably a 2 year old buck that only had one doe. That was my goal (any legal buck) and I was happy to get a goat on foot with a bow. I went and bought a Nebraska tag and hunted 3 more days with no success to reinforce how hard it is. Here are some more pics. Its a blast for sure, OTC tags, stalks from sun up to sun down, work on some, get blown up, drive down the road, get on the next group, all day long. The reports of the lack of antelope are BS, I had plenty to work on in both Nebraska and South Dakota. A couple P&Y bucks, but mostly an opportunity fun bowhunt that is affordable for the non-resident.
Deer tags are also OTC for the bowhunter in both states, but I didn't see anything worth spending the $275 on. Sure there are good deer somewhere, just not in antelope country.
One last thing, everyone was freindly in both places at the local restaurants/watering holes when I went. I think they all thought I was not right in the head for driving that far to bowhunt antelope, but I might feel the same way if I had 200 out my back door every night!

Nice work. Next time you're in SD stalking on antelope, make sure you are stalking from the south so if you spook them they run my way. If you have enough failed stalks maybe the season will open back up again in ND. I'm having withdrawals.
Good story and pics.
Nice pictures and it looks like you had a great trip, I love doing road trips

The Engineering and Technology Management Program (ETM) offers you a practical alternative to the traditional MBA by emphasizing the fundamental principles of (1) engineering management - the science of planning, organizing, allocating resources, and directing and controlling activities that have an engineering component and (2) technology management - the study of alternative strategies for managing global technology development, acquisition and commercialization.
Expanding your ability to think critically about a wide range of cross-disciplinary issues and involving strong managerial aspects within the curriculum provides you a skill set that enables you to assume leadership roles in industry and government.
Fellowships and teaching assistantships are available through the Division of Economics & Business. If you would like to be considered for funding, the division suggests you apply before March 1 for fall admission and before October 1 for spring admission. Please apply by the deadline.
Degree Program
- Master of Science in Engineering and Technology Management (ETM)
Students in the ETM Program may select from one of two areas of degree specialization or choose from a blend of both: Operations/Engineering Management or Strategy and Innovation.
- Operations/Engineering Management
The Operations/Engineering Management specialization emphasizes valuable techniques for managing large engineering and technical projects effectively and efficiently. In addition, special emphasis is given to advanced operations research, optimization, and decision making techniques applicable to a wide array of business and engineering problems.

Hi all
I just migrated a domain from one server to a new multi-server environment.
On the old source server there was a GlobalAdmin Account that I imported into the new multi-server account.
Does anybody know how I can convert this GlobalAdmin Account into a DomainAdmin Account without deleting the old account and creating it from scratch as a DomainAdmin if this is possible?
ZCS Version is 7.2.1

The aim of the programme is to disseminate the Olympic values to help combat the increase in violence among young people.
The camps last for two weeks, and are set up in partnership with the Youth Development Division of the Ministry of Education. They host 9-12 year-old children and are held in 40 local communities.
The teaching of Olympism is integrated into the activities organised throughout the summer camps. Specific prior training is available to the directors and assistant directors. Workshops are offered to the volunteers who will bring their support on a district level.
- To teach Olympic values to combat the increase in violence among young people- To encourage fair play, team spirit and solidarity- To promote and illustrate the importance of voluntary participation of young people in the development of their community and country.
There are various stages in the implementation of the summer camps:
- identify the communities which will participate in the programme - implement collaboration with the various partners- set up communications activities to make people aware of the programme- organise meetings within communities to elect the programme directors and assistants on a local level- meet parents and community leaders to obtain their support- develop manuals and set up a four-day training course for the programme directors and their assistants- organise workshops for the volunteers on a district level (eight districts)- after the summer camps, organise an event to thank the volunteers (Volunteer Appreciation Day)
Results- participation of 3,000 primary and secondary school pupils in sporting and educational activities- making the general public aware of the Olympic Movement- developing Junior Olympic Academy activities throughout the island
The two pillars of olympism; sport and culture are key elements in the stride to heighten the capabilities of and harmonize body, mind and spirit. We can achieve this in our youth if we continue to construct and execute programs with this in mind.
9-12 year-old pupils
Two-week summer camps
The summer camps take place in 40 communities throughout the island. They are organised in partnership with the local authorities according to the needs of each community.

Shaved Door Handles - Latched OnWritten by on September 20, 2007 Getting Doors To Open At The Push Of A Button
Shaved door handles have been a popular modification on customs almost as long as customs have been popular. Removing the outer handles always adds a lot of impact, even on a mild custom. The simplicity of this modification is also an attractive feature; almost anybody can accomplish the basics with a few common shop tools.
If you have a mid-'50s and later custom, shaving the handles is pretty simple, as the latches are mostly rod actuated, with remote outer handles. This means the outer handle is not directly tied to the latch. A new solenoid cable can then be tied to the outer handle actuator on the latch and the job is done.
Older cars, however, are a little different. Most early-'50s and older cars use door handles that are tied directly to the latch via a square rod that when turned, twists the rod and opens the latch. An effective design, but using this style of latch when shaving the outer handles can create a problem when determining where the solenoid goes.
While it is possible to attach the cable to the latch at the same point where the interior handle rod mounts, this often leads to binding and excessive wear on the solenoid, eventually causing a failure. There is, however, a better solution. Using a section of the original outer handle square rod and a bit of scrap sheetmetal, the latch can be modified to accept the solenoid cable, leaving the inner handle as is.
To demonstrate the process, we modified a set of latches on our '47 Plymouth business coupe project. With a set of solenoids from AutoLoc, there is plenty of power on tap to operate the latches and the inner handles don't bind up.
More Photos From This Article View Slideshow
The stock exterior door handles and latches were unbolted from the door. Then the inner handles were removed so the latch could come out of the door.The latches, although dirty, were still in good working order; they just needed a little modification for the shaved handles.We put the stock door handle in a vise and cut off the end. If the stock handles are not available or in the "to be sold on eBay" pile, square stock can be purchased at your local metal shop.We used a die-grinder to clean and add a bevel to each edge of the square peg in preparation for the weld. We then created a short lever using some scrap 16-gauge steel.We welded the peg to the latch from the backside, being careful not to weld the rotating assembly to the outer latch bracket (otherwise the latch will not work).We only needed a short section of stock. We cannibalized one handle for both sides. If the piece is too long, it will put more stress on the latch and solenoid.Once the two pieces were welded together, the bolt was removed and the hole was welded. It is important that these welds hold, so use a good welder. We smoothed the welds and test fit the new lever in the latch.
The cable was looped through the lever and locked down with a ferrule. Some people only crimp these in the middle, but the correct way is to crimp both sides.The cover was held in place with four tabs (three on the bottom and one on the side). Once the cover was out of the way, the locking mechanism was removed.The latch was reinstalled using the stock hardware. (We'll adjust it later to get everything opening and shutting smoothly.) The placement of the solenoid dictated the need for this piece.

|Written by Rhonda Osborne, LPC, CAC III
"I feel sorry for people who don't drink. When they wake up in the morning, that's as good as they're going to feel all day." —Frank Sinatra
Alcohol Anonymous, otherwise known as AA, became a popular 1950s intervention for those individuals seeking assistance in recovery from alcohol addiction. The 12-step program became an international organization, with most urban areas having multiple AA groups, each offering numerous sessions per day for convenience of the busy lifestyle.
In rural areas, where treatment resources are scarce, AA attendance is often a mandate for those enrolled in outpatient substance abuse programs.
The assumption that AA is an effective treatment modality for substance addiction remains apparent in both the treatment world and general public. For those who have personally benefited from AA, the idea that individuals can achieve sobriety without the support of AA is uncommon; AA supporters tend to be die-hard AA believers.
Few studies have focused on challenging this assumption. However, those who have bothered to question this status quo have found interesting results.
Duration of AA attendance appears to be related to longevity of abstinence. Thus, those who continue to participate in AA tend to have longer durations of sobriety.
At first glance, one could make the assumption that AA "works" and thus believe that all addicts should be mandated to its attendance. However, if we look closer, we find that the drop-out rate from AA is often as high as 80 percent.
What is different about the 20 percent that stick it out? Perhaps their motivation for abstinence? What if we consider that AA seems to fit a certain percentage of the population who identify spirituality and religion as important aspects of their recovery? AA certainly prioritizes spirituality in their 12-step model.
If we compare effectiveness of AA to other self-help programs and treatment approaches, we find equal success rate. Again, the golden rule appears to not be about which program to enroll in, but rather about the commitment to continue participation in whatever program fits best for the individual person.
It should be noted that despite the AA belief that early dropout guarantees relapse, research shows that 43 percent of individuals who limited AA attendance to 12 months following treatment enrollment had maintained sobriety at the five-year mark. This was compared to 79 percent success rate at five years for those attending 200-plus meetings per year.
Think about that. Two hundred meetings a year means going at least four times per week! There's no time for relapse.
What does all this mean? Basically, that individuals working toward recovery from addiction should be open to self-help programs that fit their life philosophies. The assumption that AA works better than other modalities or that AA is the solution for everybody is simply not true.
Any long-term enrollment in a self-help program improves the odds of continued sobriety. Even the recovery support group within the National Association of Beer Drinkers (an actual organization with membership caps) could be effective if its members were dedicated to lengthy meeting attendance.

Enhanced for Bible Study using the Resource Guide
Available for: iPad, iPhone, Android, Mac, Windows Desktop and Windows Store.
Each volume in the Understanding the Bible Commentary Series breaks down the barriers between the ancient and modern worlds so that the power and meaning of the biblical texts become transparent to contemporary readers. They present a careful section-by-section exposition of the biblical books with key terms and phrases highlighted and all Hebrew transliterated. Notes at the close of each chapter provide additional textual and technical comments for those who want to dig deeper. A bibliography as well as Scripture and subject indexes are also included. Pastors, students, and Bible teachers will find in this series a commitment to accessibility without sacrificing serious scholarship.
In contrast to literary and historical skepticism about the accounts of Israel and Judah in the divided kingdom, Provan examines 1 and 2 Kings as a unified and historical narrative. He helps the reader see not only that these books teach not only facts about the kings and prophets but also that they're designed to teach about God and his ways.
The Understanding the Bible Commentary Series is a re-branding of the New International Biblical Commentary Series and contains all the same content.

|Holtzman pieces together 'Quilts in My Cubicle'
|Written by Darci Tomky
Quilting may be a casual hobby for some people, but recently Barbara Holtzman of Holyoke took her hobby to the next level. She wrote the step-by-step instruction book entitled "Quilts in My Cubicle."
The book is designed for people who love to quilt, but who may not have a lot of time to devote to a project. It features small, square quilts no larger than 14 inches wide that can be made in six to 12 hours.
Holtzman notes the quilts are the perfect size to hang in a cubicle, but they can also be used for fun gifts or multiple blocks can be pieced together to make full-sized quilts. She explored the idea of making small quilts because women with limited free time can handle a small project and still use quilting as a creative outlet in their lives.
There are 12 projects, a different quilt for each month of the year. For example, "Crazy Love" is February's quilt, and "Butterflies Are Free To Fly" is featured in May.
The book includes directions for basic techniques such as paper piecing, freezer-paper piecing and mitered corners. Project sections for each of the 12 quilts include a picture of the quilt, cutting and sewing directions, a full-size pattern that can be copied or traced and tips for extra help.
As a child, Holtzman and her sisters learned how to sew from their mother. She began quilting regularly in 2000. While she sometimes uses patterns for her quilts, she also likes to get creative with quilting. Holtzman kept an idea book for several years, compiling her quilting designs. Finally she said, "Well, maybe I can make a book out of this."
She submitted her book idea through the American Quilting Society's website. To her surprise, they accepted her idea. The organization paid for all the publishing costs; now Holtzman just needed to write the book.
She gave herself a timeline with a January 2008 deadline, just five months to complete the writing aspect of the book. The quilts themselves needed to be finished by March 2008 for photographs for the book.
Holtzman said the process went smoothly and the American Quilting Society was very good to her, making great suggestions. She worked with her editor, Andi Milam Reynolds, mainly through emails.
With more ideas brewing in her head, Holtzman said there might be more book ideas in the future, and she would like to have more involvement in the publishing process next time.
The 12 projects in the book are all original ideas or the tweaking of a traditional pattern. Holtzman enjoys using quilting as a creative outlet and likes to put her own personal touch on a quilt. In advice for quilters, she said, "Look for your own style." She has discovered that quilters develop their own style, even if they don't know it, through the types of colors and patterns they choose.
In her book, Holtzman encourages quilters to get creative. While the quilts are simple enough for beginners, more advanced quilters are challenged to customize each quilt to their own style. Each project has a "Make It Your Own" section with tips for making the quilts unique.
These quilting ideas are not Holtzman's first to be published. In contests sponsored by the American Quilting Society, Holtzman's quilts have been featured in books three times as recognition for being a finalist in the competitions. Holtzman loves how it allows her to be competitive, and the new theme each year challenges her to come up with new ideas.
