Spin-off from recent thread.
You may do it in 10-to-1 countdown form if you find it more compelling.
I'll have a think a while on this myself. I'm curious if anyone has a No. 1 other than "the expected."

In terms of what it meant, I'd put Jesse Smith's game sealing pick in Lincoln ahead of The Run.
In 1984, I was hospitalized for approaching perfection.
1. the reverse by JJ Moses against Iowa in IC,
2. the run by Wallace
3. Punt return for TD in Insight bowl
4. TD against OSU to win game in the last minute, Lane Dannelson
Jeremy Reves onside kick for touchdown.
the run by Wallace.
This list goes to 11. In no particular order...
1. Seneca - "The Run" part 1 - vs Nebraska 2001
2. Seneca - "The Run" part 2 - vs Texas Tech 2002
3. JaMaine Billups punt return TD, Insight Bowl vs Pitt, 2000
4. J.J. Moses end-around TD run, vs Iowa, 2000
5. Sage Rosenfels to Lane Danielsen for game-winning TD pass vs Okie State, 2000
6. Brent Curvey interception return TD, vs Colorado 2005
7. LaMarcus Hicks interception return TD, vs Iowa 2005
8. Todd Blythe x 4, vs Texas A&M, 2005
9. All of the fourth quarter vs Kansas State, 2004
10. The defense x 8, vs Nebraska, 2009
11a. Lattimer and McDonough crush the pocket around Garrett Gilbert and McD comes up with the fumble, vs Texas, 2010. This play led to...
11b. ARob touchdown run up the heart of the defense, vs Texas, 2010 (put ISU up 28-7)
Like I said in the other thread, I only go back to the early 90's (and there weren't a lot of highlights in the 90's outside of TD), but here are mine:
1. Seneca's Run vs TT, 2002.
2. Billups' PR in Insight Bowl vs Pitt 2000.
3. Seiler's run vs Nebraska 1992.
4. Curvey's pick and rumbling score vs CU 2005 (tornado game).
5. JJ Moses reverse at iowa 2000.
6. Danielsen's TD off the slant vs OSU 2000.
7. Jessie Smith's int. at Nebraska 2009.
8. Seneca's pass to Whitver out of his own endzone at iowa 2002.
9. Troy Davis's long run vs Mizzou in 1995...not that impressive in itself, but more of a total body of work.
10. Lamarcus Hicks pick six vs iowa 2005.
1. Jesse Smith INT v. Nebraska in 2009
2. The Run, 2002
3. Marvelous Marvin Seiler, 1992
4. LaMarcus Hicks' pick 6, Iowa in 2005
5. JaMaine Billups PR TD v. Pitt 2000
6. Arnaud's bomb to Jake Williams v. Minnesota in 2009
7. Meyer's bomb to Jon Davis v. Nebraska in 2004
8. Josh Lenz's TD grab v. Texas in 2010
9. Steve Paris's FR TD v. Colorado in 2005
10. Culbertson's game winning FG against Iowa in 2007
I'm trying to come up with some differences from TejasClone but would only add that the whole Tech v. ISU game from 2010 was awesome.
The first time I've ever seen ISU put up 52 points against a team from the South and that includes baylor. AND, Tech was a bowl team last year.
Johnson's Kansas Juke from 2010 also was sweet.
Also the come from behind win at Iowa with Seneca when down like 28 - 7 at the half. Not a play, but still amazing.
How about:
1. Lenz TD catch vs. Texas 2010
2. Micheal O'Connell interception vs. Texas while wearing a cast on one hand, in the end zone 2010
3. Leonard Johnson tip toe the out of bounds interception vs. Texas 2010
4. Collin Franklin TD reception vs. Texas Tech 2010
5. Shontrelle Johnson Juke Run vs. Kansas 2010
6. Tuba Rubin TD Rumble.
7. Tackle Scott Haughton running for a TD in 2009 vs Missouri. It was an awesome trick play.
8. Jerome Tiller wobbler to Jake Williams Hail Cyclones TD pass vs. Nebraska 2009
9. Brandtner first down run fake punt vs. Nebraska 2009
10. Mahoney onside kick vs. Texas 2010. Textbook kick-pass right into ISU players hands after going 10 yards, had everyone in stadium faked out.

Gotta add some others for consideration:
1. Tim Dobbins hits vs. Nebraska at Nebraska.
2. Berryman has to have a few somewhere that were memorable...right?
3. Sacks by the 2005 DL - remember any that stick out?
4. Terran Benton kerpow! hit on Texas WR 2010
Who's puttin' together the video?
I'd have to say the play against Iowa where the LB (Steen?) picked a pass off that would have won them the game and then fumbled has to be on there. And even though it didn't work out for us Seneca coming up just short against FSU has to be up there, that was one of the most exciting moments in ISU football. Oh, and Meyer to Bates.

I rate that pretty high too since it was a huge slap on the face of an already downed opponent.
Fake punt run by Van Der Kamp
Fake field goal option by Mahoney
I cant remember who we played, but I think it was the first game of 2006. Todd Blythe's one handed TD catch in the 3rd OT.

New York, NY (Sports Network) - Ryan Callahan scored the goal that proved to
be the deciding tally in the New York Rangers' 2-1 victory over the
Philadelphia Flyers.
However, the Rangers' captain left Tuesday's game after being injured in a
third-period scrum with Philadelphia's Maxime Talbot. Callahan, who gave New
York a 2-0 lead with a power-play goal in the second period, tussled with
Talbot at 4:42 of the third. Sensing Callahan was in distress, Talbot eased up
and motioned for the trainers. Callahan got to his skates and left the ice
hunched over, favoring his left shoulder/arm.
Michael Del Zotto had the other goal for the Rangers, who have won consecutive
games since losing by the same score to the Flyers last Thursday. New York
goalie Henrik Lundqvist made 26 saves.
Ilya Bryzgalov played well in defeat for Philadelphia, stopping 26 shots.

Los Altos shuts out Lynbrook 30-0; St. Francis falls to Valley Christian
- Details
- Published on Wednesday, 13 November 2013 00:03
- Written by Los Altos Town Crier Staff - Town Crier Staff Report
The Los Altos High football team kept its faint playoff hopes alive by blanking Lynbrook 30-0 Friday night.
The visiting Eagles evened their record at 2-2 in the SCVAL El Camino Division and improved to 7-2 overall.
After a scoreless first quarter, Los Altos scored two touchdowns in the second, added a field goal in the third and tallied two more TDs in the fourth.
Receiver Victor Ruiz scored every touchdown, catching passes of 62, 21, 20 and 55 yards from Lambie Lanman. Matt Schroner made three extra points and booted a 33-yard field goal.
Ruiz totaled 208 yards on eight receptions, while Lanman completed 13 of 20 passes for 316 yards. Running back Sean Lanoza rushed for 101 yards on 17 carries.
Los Altos is scheduled to close the regular season 1:30 p.m. Saturday at home against Cupertino.
VC runs over St. Francis
St. Francis struggled to move the ball or stop the run in Friday's 21-14 loss at Valley Christian.
The Lancers mustered only 106 yards of offense (57 rushing, 49 passing), while the Warriors piled up 296 yards on the ground.
Yet St. Francis trailed just 7-0 midway through the fourth quarter. Valley Christian then added a 31-yard touchdown run from Kirk Johnson (254 yards rushing).
The Lancers answered with a 9-yard scoring pass from Will Fischer-Colbrie to halfback Landon Baty with 2:35 to play, but the Warriors tallied another TD just 23 seconds later.
Baty returned the ensuing kickoff 94 yards for a score and St. Francis recovered the onside kick, but Valley Christian's defense held strong.
The Lancers dropped to 3-3 in the West Catholic Athletic League and 6-3 overall.
Spartans stymied again
Mountain View scored its first touchdown in three weeks, but it wasn't nearly enough to beat Milpitas, which won 55-7 Friday.
The visiting Spartans slumped to 1-5 in the SCVAL De Anza Division and 1-8 overall.

House Speaker Philip Gunn says education is a recurring theme at the town meetings he has held across Mississippi this week. He says comments and ideas have varied.
Gunn, a Republican from Clinton, wrapped up his "ideas" tour Friday in Brookhaven. He made earlier stops in Jackson, Greenwood, Hernando, Tupelo, Columbus, Meridian, Hattiesburg and Biloxi.
Gunn says health care has been another topic of concern. He says education and health care are the areas on which the state spends most of its tax dollars.
In Meridian earlier, Gunn said citizens can have an active role in government through sharing their concerns and ways legislators can accomplish the goals that are important to constituents.
"So many times legislators are inaccessible, especially during the session, when they're in Jackson," said Gunn. "And we want to hear from the people. The purpose of this meeting is to hear ideas that the citizens of this state have to improve the quality of life in Mississippi."
Some speakers said the state should provide funding for early childhood education and work with colleges to award scholarships to encourage talented students to stay in the state.
Gunn says his meetings have reaffirmed that lawmakers have been right to make education and health care priorities.

(LeMars) -- Former Pennslyvania Senator, and now Republican Presidential Candidate Rick Santorum was in LeMars yesterday. Santorum, who has visited all of Iowa's 99 counties calls his tour the Faith, Family, and Freedom Tour, Santorum pledged he would spend every day in Iowa between now and the Iowa Caucus, with the exception of Christmas Eve and Christmas. Santorum told the gathering of nearly 30 people he is the only candidate that has the ability to win, and has the record showing he can get things done.
Listen here
Santorum says he believes in one year from now, the economy will not be the most important topic, but rather our national defense against Iran will take center stage, if Iran obtains nuclear weapons.
Listen here
Santorum says he is the only candidate that has campaigned in each of the 99 Iowa counties. He spoke on the illegal immigration issue, saying the U-S needs to finish the fence at the border. He says the nation's education system needs to be reformed, and he would like to reform taxes. But the former Pennslyvania Senator spoke passionately mostly about Faith and Family. He recited some statistics showing how single parent homes are more likely to live in poverty, and children from single parent homes are also more likely to be involved in crime. Making reference to a light blue colored wrist braclet, he was wearing, that was the acrinum of "Family" Santorum says "family is the answer" to many of today's societial problems.
(LeMars) -- The LeMars Fire Department responded to an early morning house fire. Officials were called to the house located on the corner of 3rd Avenue and 4th Sreet SE, at about 5:45 a.m. Little is known about the fire, but it appeared the fire was confined to the attic. The victorian-style house had been converted to an apartment complex.
(Sioux City) -- Sioux City Police Detectives have taken into custody Robert McCloud, age 22, of Sioux City for the November 20th shooting of Brian Henderson. On November 20th, officers were called to Mercy Medical Center for a gun shot victim. Based on the information they were able to collect, they determined that the shooting occurred in the 1200 block of 4th Street. The victim had been involved in a disturbance with another individual and was shot. Henderson is still recovering from the wound at Mercy Medical Center. McCloud was taken to the Woodbury County jail and charged with Attempt to Commit Murder.
(LeMars) -- Floyd Valley Hospital Board of Trustees have scheduled a special meeting this morning to review and discuss the audit as presented by Denman and Associates.
(LeMars) -- Tuesday at noon the LeMars City Council will meet and at that time will hear the second reading of the proposed plan to change the city's water meters. Last Thursday, members of the city council and the city water committee, along with administration officials heard from residents voice their concern over the proposal. City Administrator Scott Langel says last week's public forum was benefical for everyone.
One idea that evolved from the public forum was to have residents instead of paying a monthly charge for a second water meter, they would buy the second water meter up front, then turn it over to the city for maintenance and supervision. Langel says the idea had some merit and will be discussed by the city council.
(LeMars) -- The Plymouth County Board of Supervisors is scheduled to meet this morning. The Supervisors will discuss a new Plymouth County Library Coalition contract along with the funding for the project. The Supervisors will also hear a report from Deb Steffen, County Health Director discuss possible vacancies on the County Board of Health, as well as the budget funding for the health services.
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - A new study says tougher restrictions on Iowa's teenage drivers could have saved the lives of 32 young drivers in 2009.
The study report issued Tuesday includes suggested standards: requiring drivers to be 16 before earning a learner's permit and restricting passengers to no more than one nonfamily passenger
under 21 unless a licensed driver older than 21 is in the vehicle.
Teen driving deaths are falling nationally but have remained flat or grown slightly among 16- to 18-year-old drivers in Iowa.
Iowa has a graduated driver's licensing program, but it's not as strict as programs in some other states.
The study was released by the Allstate Foundation, a nonprofit arm of insurance giant Allstate.

Franny's: Pizza in Park Slope
Posted 18 December 2011 - 01:13 PM
Posted 20 January 2012 - 04:42 PM
2. Another current antipasto, Calabrian squid, shows either the perversity or the studied purity of vision that keeps Franny's a pizzeria with antipasti rather than a restaurant with secondi. Anywhere else, they'd serve this combination of squid, salami, and vegetables in spicy sauce in a slightly larger portion, and it would be a main dish. But since here they don't have main dishes, it's an antipasto. It's outrageously good, BTW.
3. Spaghetti with Meyer Lemon sauce is available here each year for a few weeks in January. We're there now. This is one of those very simple, very perfect dishes.

The big news is: FRANNY'S IS MOVING . . . to Park Slope.
Yes, Franny's is crossing the street to much larger quarters (much closer to my apartment, too -- so Prospect Heights' loss is my gain).
Their new location is of some interest to old Brooklynites. It's the former Blockbuster store on Flatbush between Sterling and 8th Ave. It was a Blockbuster for more than 20 years. Before that, however, it was a bistro. Not just any bistro. A bistro started by people who came out of the kitchen of La Cote Basque but, living in Brooklyn, wanted to take advantage of the lower real estate costs and cook for their neighborhood. In other words: early NBC! Too early, unfortunately: the bistro opened around 1985, and, excellent as it was, the neighborhood just wasn't ready to support it. It was a large space (happily for Franny's), and they couldn't fill it with French cooking. Soon, they put a divider down the middle of the dining room, and half remained devoted to French bistro food, the other half to fried whiting sandwiches. The fried whiting sandwiches did much better than the bistro food, and eventually the whole place went under and morphed into a Blockbuster.
The bistro truly was excellent. They served a bourride that, at least in memory, was even better than Alain Allegretti's. The bistro was also the site of the single most uncomfortable dinner I've ever attended, where my parents met my prospective in-laws for the first time.
Even more interesting, though, is the bistro's predecessor. It was a legendary Brooklyn catering hall that had closed just before I moved into the neighborhood. Generations of Brooklynites celebrated weddings and other occasions there. I can't recall its name. Maybe Steve R. can.
So now this will be the new expanded home of Franny's. As of now, I'm told they're planning on keeping roughly the same format. There will be two brick ovens. In addition to a large dining room, I'm told they'll have a private dining room and a take-out counter (which, given this location's proximity to two subway stops, will mint money). I'm betting there'll STILL be a wait for seating.
BUT that's not all. Franny's is also holding onto its current location. It will be used for some other purpose. I'm sure that one idea being bandied about is a fine dining restaurant. Since it's fairly near the new basketball arena, however, other uses suggest themselves as well. I'm told the kitchen facility (including the oven) will remain in any event, though.

TAMPA BAY, Florida (WTSP) -- Sixty-six-year old Christine Hall calls a Starbucks in Dallas, Texas her second home.
Hall says, "losing weight is hard, but I realized I could do it and I found a system that worked."
Her system, she eats all of her meals at Starbucks and its helped her lose nearly 85 pounds in two years. Christine says she lost all of the weight by counting calories.
Starbucks puts nutrition information on thelabels of their packaged foods and that made it easy to keep track of exactly how much she was eating.
She says most people think of fattening desserts at starbucks, "A lot of people look at the top shelf and they think its muffins and fattening things, but look down on the second shelf and there's really healthy choices."
So Christine starts her day with oatmeal and black coffee- 145 calories.
Lunch and dinner, a panini or bistro box- 220 to 460 calories per meal.
Christine says, "To get the protein every now and then, I get the ham and cheese panini and that's 340. If I go for a bike ride, I can come back and even have a brownie."
But registered Dietitian Rebecca Scritchfield says Chrstine may have trouble maintaining her starbucks diet and she warns if Christine isn't careful, she could suffer from malnutrition. "When you follow something that eliminates entire food groups or limits you to one particular restaurant, it's very difficult to be healthy and meet all of your nutrition needs."
But Christine isn't concerned, she says she's feeling better than every.

|GOCO grant awarded for track project
|Written by Brenda Johnson Brandt
Fully funding the Phillips County Community Track Project grant request, Great Outdoors Colorado approved $350,000 last week for the project located on the Holyoke School District track and football field grounds.
Great Outdoors Colorado board of directors met Tuesday, June 11 to officially award grants, including the Phillips County track project.
Holyoke School Superintendent Bret Miles announced the good news at the school board meeting that night. He said the district is excited to get the construction process rolling for this long-awaited community project.
Scheduled completion date for the all-weather track and lighting project is Aug. 22 so that the field may be used for the 2013 football games.
However, a celebration/ribbon cutting type of dedication ceremony will not be held until next spring in conjunction with a local track meet.
Miles said he's also been asked whether the track will be named. He emphasized that right now the focus is on construction.
Track, lighting, restroom renovation, exercise station included in project
When completely finished, the community track project will include an eight-lane post-tensioned concrete base with red all-weather polyurethane bound surface track.
Additionally, the project includes new triple jump, long jump and pole vault runways and pits; a Musco four-pole lighting system for the football field and track; fixtures, partitions and new flooring for restroom renovation; and a 10-piece outdoor exercise station.
Seventy-five percent of the GOCO grant funds ($259,300) will go toward the post-tensioned concrete eight-lane track, $45,000 is designated for the Musco lighting system and $45,700 for the polyurethane bound surface and striping for the track.
Other funding items are the design; performance bond; high jump areas (concrete and surface); pole vault surface; long jump and triple jump lanes; timing system, hurdles/equipment/protective mats; 10-piece outdoor fitness station; restroom fixtures, partitions and new flooring; and buffalo and other native grass seed.
The HHS football field, including goal posts and scoreboard, will not be moved. This is a change from previous proposals and will save much in-kind work on the part of the school district.
The west side of the existing track will be expanded to the east, cutting in to the grass area of the football sidelines. The east side of the existing track will also be expanded to the east, so the visitor bleachers will be moved to the east.
Miles said the high jump pad will be moved from the south to the north to distribute people further across the site for a track meet.
The eight lights that had been used on the field have been removed and will be replaced by four Musco lights that will be placed on the outside of the track. Miles said fewer lights will require less electricity.
The lighting should provide a brighter field and will be focused directly on the field so neighbors in the surrounding area should not see the flooding light as they've experienced in the past.
Holyoke School District groundskeeper Dusty McConnell is in the process of removing grass on the west side of the football field sidelines in preparation for widening the track. The football field, including the scoreboard, will remain in place. The west sideline will be narrower, and the visitor bleachers on the east side will be moved to the east as the track is widened in that direction. —Enterprise photo
Miles said there's a 20-year warranty even on light-bulb replacement for the system. Musco monitors the lighting system from Iowa. The same system was used at the Holyoke Ball Park.
City Superintendent Mark Brown confirmed Musco's monitoring system, saying they call and say they think light bulb number three on pole number two is out. The city sends someone out to check it and replaces the bulb.
Equipment and concrete for the exercise station will cost $15,262. This station was added to the project to emphasize community recreation but doesn't have designated grant funds.
The exercise stations will be set up between the visitors' bleachers and the practice field. Holyoke physical education teachers helped choose the equipment so it can potentially be used for classes.
Total equipment costs are $9,584 and include back extension, chest press/lat pull combo, three-station leg press, pommel horse bench, push-up stand, self-weighted rower, sit-up board-double, strength and stretch bars, uneven bars, bounding bars and balance beam.
Phillips County Recreation District will contribute $9,500 for the exercise station. This additional partner made a big difference in the recent grant application, according to Miles.
Phillips County Administrator Randy Schafer explained Phillips is one of three counties involved in Region I Translator Association, which was established in the 1970s. Phillips County has funded its portion of Region I with mill levy funds to the Recreation District.
When converting from analog translators to digital translators, federal funding came through. As a result, the Recreation District has surplus funds, and the board has decided to consider funding county recreation projects in three areas (west half of the county, east half of the county and the county fairgrounds).
In addition to funding equipment for the Phillips County Track project in Holyoke, the Recreation District also committed to providing funds for the Haxtun Ball Park GOCO grant, but that grant was not received.
Schafer said the county is excited about the track project as it will be great not only for Holyoke but for area communities as well.
Funding in place
With a total project cost of $636,952, Miles said 45 percent of the project costs are in place with cash and in-kind donations.
In addition to the $9,500 from the PC Recreation District, cash donations include $11,717 from a citizens' track fundraiser in 2008; $5,375, Holyoke Re-1J Foundation; $62,500, Heginbotham Trust; $100,000, Jack Petteys Memorial Foundtion; $7,500, Leland Trust; and $25,000, Holyoke School District.
Making this truly a community project, in-kind contributions are noted from Phillips County, Highline Electric, City of Holyoke and Holyoke School District.
HEA in-kind contributions amount to $60,000 for removing existing light poles, setting the new poles and running electricity to the poles.
Phillips County rented two dump trucks and a front-end loader to pull the track curb and waived the fee for hauling the concrete to the landfill.
Brown and Jeff Deselms from the city will help assemble and set the light poles, as they built the same type of poles at the ball field.
Holyoke grounds personnel will be spending considerable hours to make the project happen.
Holyoke School District will set its track meet dates first each year, then will open the track to other school districts.
Athletic director Sandra Rahe said at Tuesday's board meeting that Fleming is already looking at track use in 2014, and Haxtun and Sedgwick County are also interested. She said she's suggested that Holyoke's entrance fee to the meets on this track be waived.
In 2014, Holyoke plans to host a junior high meet and a high school meet. It's also Holyoke's turn to host the league HS meet next May.
Miles said the all-weather track companies say that tracks wear out from UV rays, water and ice—not from running on them. So the more the track can be used, the better, Miles believes.
Miles is excited about this project from an economic development standpoint as well, considering the potential for bringing people to town.
Miles and Schafer will teleconference with GOCO this week to clarify the accounting and reporting process for the grant. The school district will pay the bills and keep all the records. As the actual grant recipient, the county will turn over the final submission of paperwork to GOCO.
Project underway
In late May, Phillips County received word that the GOCO grant application for the Phillips County Track Project was a recommended project and was ranked second highest of those requested.
While the final approval was not scheduled until June 11, Miles said the school district chose to go ahead and remove the curbs and lights in order to maintain a timeline for having the project complete by the end of August.
He said if the grant fell through, the school district would have funded the lights and curb costs. He's pleased the grant approval moved forward so that didn't become an issue. And having that done helped the timeline immensely, he added.
Concrete from the HHS track is broken up and has been hauled to the landfill in preparation for the new track which is expected to be in place by late August. —Enterprise photo
Staking and surveying were completed Wednesday, June 12 after funding was officially approved June 11, and the project is moving forward daily.
Hoping to have the project finished the end of August for football season, Miles said he knows that in this agricultural community he recognizes that they will welcome rain even if it does delay the project.
They've looked at a contingency plan in case completion is delayed. Communication has been made with Perkins County to move the football game with the Plainsmen to Grant, Neb. rather than Holyoke if necessary.
Project in the works for some time
Due to the condition of the HHS track, the last track meet hosted in Holyoke was a junior high meet in 1989.
In 2000, the community organized a track committee to contribute funds to the district's track account for building an all-weather track for the community.
However, in 2006, the school district was forced to use its track fund to install a new boiler system in the JR/SR high school, exhausting the money set aside for a track.
In 2010, the Re-1J Education Foundation was re-established and made the track a targeted project. The original track committee and other foundations quickly deposited over $90,000.
In partnership with Phillips County, the district submitted a GOCO grant in both the March and August 2012 grant cycles. Neither was successful, but the scores improved each time, and the project missed funding by just one this past fall.
Additional partners were sought for the 2013 grant cycle to strengthen the project for another try at GOCO funding.
Project enthusiasts are excited about the benefits to the community as the Phillips County Track Project moves forward with GOCO funding.

Santa Cruz Bicycles Nomad Carbon 27.5 Mountain Bike Frame $0.00
We've heard it said that there's no such thing as a perfect bike for all conditions, but if there's one bike that has repeatedly challenged this notion, it's the Nomad. Now in its third generation, the Santa Cruz Nomad Mountain Bike Frame builds on the all-terrain ability of its predecessors to deliver a ruthless trail shredding experience. In keeping with modern riding styles, it's slacker, longer, and more stable, with tighter chainstays to keep it responsive. And yes, it's now built around 27.5 inch wheels. It's fast, aggressive, and capable of keeping up with the wildest riders on the planet. In other words, this is the bike the Nomad was born to be.
The Nomad's VPP suspension platform has been considerably improved as compared to the previous version, with particular focus being paid to improving mid-stroke support, as well as off-the-top small bump compliance. Much as it always has, it still maintains the snappy pedaling that's essential for piloting a long-travel bike to the top of your favorite runs. At the heart of VPP is two aluminum counter-rotating links. The upper-link, borrowed from the V10, provides most of the rotation as the bike compresses into the sag point. This yields a vertical wheel path, which is responsible for the firm pedaling feel.
As the bike compresses deeper into the suspension, the lower-link activates, moving the axle path rearward. The rearward axle path enables the rear wheel to travel out of the way of impacts. This affords you extra margin for error when you're experimenting with the ragged edge of control. It's a design that's well matched by the incredibly capable Rockshox Monarch Plus RC3 DebonAir rear shock (RockShox Vivid Air R2C also available), which has been redesigned to offer even better small-bump compliance than its predecessor. And you'll find the same collet-style pivot hardware that's become standard for Santa Cruz's suspension bikes. This means that your pivots stay tight, and are easily serviceable by home mechanics.
Santa Cruz's industry-leading carbon fiber construction is on display here as well. Both the front and rear triangles are constructed as a whole, rather than bonding them together from sub-assemblies. With this process, the fibers remain uninterrupted by seams, maximizing strength on an already notoriously bulletproof frame. Additionally, the inside of the tubes have the same perfectly smooth finish as the outside thanks to maximum the compaction of the layers. The benefit is that it's lighter, because any excess epoxy is squeezed from the frame prior to curing. And testing has proven that this provides the ideal degree of compaction, further enhancing frame strength.
As compared to previous iterations of the Nomad, it's safe to say that this is the most aggressive version yet. The head angle has been relaxed to an ultra-stable 65 degrees. Rear wheel travel has been increased to 165mm. By doing away with the need for a front derailleur, the chainstays have been shortened to a highly responsive 17.1 inches—no small feat when considering that the wheel size has grown to 27.5 inches. In keeping with modern bike fit, the reach measurements have grown by a full inch per size to provide adequate reach with today's shorter stems. The result is a bike that's most at home charging full-bore into hair-raising terrain. And while it yields stability traditionally reserved for downhill bikes, the 6.2 pound frame weight, combined with steeper seat tube angles, means that it's surprisingly pleasant to pedal back up for another lap.
The Nomad utilizes a 44/49mm headset for compatibility with tapered forks. The rear dropouts accept a 142x12mm thru-axle rear hub, which keeps the frame stiff under power. The 73mm English threaded bottom bracket shell ensures a creak-free crankset and easy service. The frame requires a 31.6mm seatpost, which makes it compatible with extra-long six inch dropper posts. And it's not compatible with a front derailleur. You have the option to run a narrow-wide chainring, as has become the new standard for aggressive trail bikes, or should you desire maximum retention, the ISCG05 tabs allow for simple chainguide setup.
The Santa Cruz Nomad Mountain Bike Frame is available in four sizes, from Small, to X-Large, and in the colors Matte Black/gloss black, and Turquoise/pink.
- 142x12mm rear axle
- RockShox Monarch Plus RC3 DebonAIR or RockShox Vivid Air R2C shock

New Favorite Bike!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Last year, my Bike Park ride was a Yeti SB66C which is a fantastic bike but I was ready to try out something with a more current suspension design. I started out the 2015 season on a very nice Pivot Mach 6 but swapped it for the Santa Cruz Nomad mid-season to get the slacker head tube angle and steeper seat tube. I definitely made the right choice by moving to the Nomad! I love the bike and absolutely love having a threaded BB again! The geometry and suspension on the Nomad is perfect for my style of riding. Thank you Santa Cruz!
Can I get the turq/pink vivid air frame in size large? The cc complete bikes all appear to have the monarch. Thx
Hi Gearfreak,
Unfortunately we only have the frames in a size XL for turquoise/pink Vivid Air.
Let me know if there's anything else I can help you with.
Great light mini DH bike.
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Compared with my Ibis HDR 650b this bike is an eye opener. It's lower so I lean and turn better. It's longer so I'm more stable at higher speeds, especially in berms. It's slacker so I ride steeps better. It's more weight balanced front and rear so I jump better. It's as light, so I climb as well on easy/moderate inclines. It's got a clean look and real nice build quality. Only thing is it's slacker so you really have to stay seated on the saddle nose and steer quite a bit on steep climbs...but that's ok...it's worth it for the safety it provides on the downhills.
I had the opportunity of riding this bike several times and I must say I love the ride quality. The downfall of a lot of all mountain bikes is that they can be cumbersome-especially when it comes to climbing. Not this mountain goat! It climbs the stairway to heaven as well as it bombs down hill. This is largely due to the lighter frame and slack angles. Definitely an all day bike. Comparing it to the Bronson its a no brainer on which cream rises to the top. I would highly recommend this bike and its sure to make you an enduro winning machine!
If you have specific questions on the bike feel free to reach out to me direct at 801-736-6396 x 4074 or email@example.com
Will this frame come with the new Santa Cruz lifetime warranty?
This is From Santa Cruz website:
Lifetime Frame Warranty
Santa Cruz Bicycles will repair or replace at its option any frame it determines to be defective. The warranty will be in effect for lifetime of the original, registered owner. In order to confirm that you are the original owner, please register on our Warranty page at the time of purchase. Frames purchased prior to May 1, 2015 will be covered under the previously existing 5 year warranty. Warranties do not cover custom finishes.
So yes, all frames purchased after May 1st come with Lifetime warranty
Is this frame Nomad C? or Nomad CC?
all frame only options are cc
Will an XL frame fit into the Thule Round Trip Sport Bike Travel Case?
That frame should fit fine. There is chance you would need to take off the fork because of the length but its not likely.
What is the weight of this frame?
Frame Weight (Med) - 6.2 lbs.
One bike to rule them all.
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I was on the fence about buying a Nomad for enduro racing, the occasional park days, and general AM/TR riding in the Pacific Northwest, and I'm so glad I went for it. This bike is truly amazing.
It really does climb well for what it is. Yeah, it's a little cumbersome on super tight singletrack, but it's far more usable than the 65-degree head angle would let on. I'm consistently surprised at how maneuverable it is. Long sustained non-techy climbs are a breeze, especially with a shock like the Monarch or the Cane Creek DBAir CS in climb mode.
But don't get this bike to go slow. Get it because no matter what drop, gap, jump, rock garden, or other assorted gnar you want to send this thing through, it will absolutely eat it up. It truly rides better the faster you go. It's pretty amazing. So fast, so forgiving.
You may hear a lot about how you need to be "on the front" of the bike and always riding aggressively--not really. What IS true is that you need to be riding in the center of the bike, which is a little further forward due to the long front center of the bike. Sit back and the rear shock will compress, the head tube will slacken, and the front wheel will unweight a little. Yeah, then it doesn't handle so great. Find the middle and the ride is beautiful.
After a couple months on all kinds of trails, I can say this is definitely a beast of a bike that will handle anything you throw at it. If enduro racing and park days are in your future, look no further. If low-speed techy singletrack is your thing, the Nomad is probably the wrong bike.
Seriously, this thing rips. And the sales and support from Competitive Cyclist are, as always, second to none. I went with the XX1/ENVE M70/Fox 36 build and added a DBAir CS. It's insane.
I was wondering your thoughts on the CCDBa CS versus the Monarch. I rented a nomad with a Monarch for 2 days in Fruita/Moab and loved it ... and I ordered the frame from bc with this sale. I still have a CCDBa CS that will fit from my previous bike.
I'm curious what you like better about the Monarch. I loved how it peddled but I found it a bit harsh on some high speed hits
This review is spot on. I don't feel like I have to ride on the front at all. I've never been on a bike that was more fun in the chunky terrain. Nomads have this weird speed threshold, that once you hit it, it just wants to FLY. For me, it's around 20-25mph. Once you pass that threshold, it just wants to accelerate like a rocket. Such a fun bike, they nailed the design on this.
Santa Cruz, THANK YOU for sticking with a threaded BB, making it a 1x, and for having such a well-balanced, fun bike with a great head tube angle.
Cheers for that photo
Another question: how well does the rear suspension work under braking while desending, does it stiffen up or stay soft.
Any real world experience is much appreciated.
Fletcher, I've had a couple days out on the Nomad and didn't notice any change at all. One of the major benefits of VPP is the suppleness of the suspension. Both Santa Cruz and Intense (top companies in larger travel bikes) choose to stick with VPP. I can't say that things don't stiffen up at all, but it wasn't noticeable and definitely wasn't annoying.
I bought my Nomad from Adam D and have to agree--after a couple months I haven't noticed significant stiffness under braking.
Hi there
Just wondering if I could put a cane creek DBAIR CS on this frame,
whether there would be any clearance issues.
I also noticed that this bike could take a fork 160mm-180mm, does
this mean I could put the Fox Float 36 170mm 27.5 on with out affecting
the geometry, or if it does by how much.
Yes Sir see my review above.
I have since reversed position of CCDB Air at the behest of Steve Delacruz from Garage Works. Less mass moving that way makes rear end suspension more supple.
Well a 170 fork would slacken the head angle about 1/2 a degree or so.
Better than Expected
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
This spring I got a chance to take this bike for a spin in Demo Forest, Santa Cruz?s back yard. WOW! If I had to describe this bike, I?d call it a cross country downhill bike. I?ve nicknamed it the unicorn bike because it shouldn?t exist (and maybe the color). I spend a week in British Columbia racing BC bike race not too long ago and a rider on this bike passed me on both climbs and descents- I was racing in the top 10% (top 5% in Enduro category). I was on an XC race bike. This wouldn?t be my top choice for racing uphill, but it does pedal better than anything else in its category. This will definitely be my next bike- along with a 29 hardtail for racing.
Adam, did you get the Nomad after all?
nomad 27.5
Just got this from you guys. Is the writing...
Just got this from you guys. Is the writing in the badge supposed to be off to the side like this ?.
Hi Mark,
Congrats on the new frame! That's the updated Santa Cruz headtube badge. The logo is indeed off to the side. It adds visual interest, I suppose.
What is E2E of the rear shock?
What is E2E of the rear shock?
As per Santa Cruz's website:
This bike uses a 216x63mm shock with 22x8mm eyelet hardware (21.8mm x 8mm for SRAM). Please do not use any other shock size or modify with eccentric shock bushings- this can cause damage or clearance issues with the frame.

text: Guy's, thanks for all the congrats! I still can't believe I've actually drawn a sheep tag! Like a lot of you I apply in several different states for different species and this is my first quality tag I've drawn. Funny that it's in my home state in a unit that's in my backyard! I keep waiting for the DOW to call and tell me they made a mistake! LOL! Someone asked how many points I had... I had 7. The hunt dates are Sept 23 thru Oct 7, I've already requested and got these two weeks off work. I'll be spending a lot of time scouting this summer too. I've spent some time backpacking and hiking on Pikes Peak already. I was very serious about asking if anyone with more experience sheep hunting than me is interested in going. If your interested shoot me a PM with your hunting resume... just kidding. But seriously, if your interested or know someone who might be, let me know! I read Mike Duplans article in the annual sheep issue and he hit on the fact that there's no shame in finding some guy's who've hunted sheep in the past to help you out... I couldn't agree more. What can I say the sheep have got me shameless!

IBM Business Analytics interview with former SEC Chairman Christopher Cox
Liz Andrews 2700041WEU email@example.com | | Tags:  openpages regulatory_compliance dodd-frank sec | 0 Comments | 1,656 Visits
The following excerpts are taken from "Compliance, complexity and the need for XBRL: An interview with former SEC Chairman Christopher Cox":
What are the key drivers of regulatory reform? Will Dodd-Frank really reduce systemic risk? Can better compliance processes drive better financial results?
In the weeks running up to the Vision 2011 and OPUS 2011 conferences, experts within IBM Business Analytics Financial Performance and Strategy Management posed these and other questions to Christopher Cox, a former SEC Chairman and keynote speaker at both events. Below is a transcript of that interview.
Looking forward into the next three years, what are some of the key drivers in the US that will be shaping regulatory and compliance reform? How are those different from the past five years?
The most significant characteristic of the time we are living in right now is the remarkable pace of change, both in legislation and in regulations governing corporate America, in particular the financial services sector.
Of course, the Dodd-Frank 2,300-page behemoth is well-known already to senior finance executives. But what is unknowable are the hundreds of rules that will be forthcoming under that legislation. The schedule called for in the statute has the bulk of the final rule makings scheduled for completion in the third quarter of 2011. It is very clear across the regulatory agencies that these deadlines are going to be largely missed.
As a result, not only will there be regulatory uncertainty on a continuing basis this year, but also for several years into the future. There are over 100 rule makings that have no statutory deadline at all. I think a significant share of even those that were expected to be completed earlier will also be rolled into the future. So during all of this time, senior Finance executives are going to have to be reading the tea leaves – not to mention the statute itself – to determine how to comply. And it isn't just Dodd-Frank, of course, where we have all this legislative and regulatory ferment. The unprecedented rapid pace of chance in law and regulation and the continued uncertainty about what the government will do next pertains to the tax area as well. During the last year alone, Congress enacted no fewer than six major pieces of tax legislation – including the two "Obamacare" bills, the HIRE Act, the Education Jobs Act, the Small Business Jobs Act and, of course the year-end Tax Relief Act that temporarily extended the current tax rates.
That last piece of legislation bought us at least two years of tax certainty, but when it comes to long-term capital gains or any of the other rules governing the taxation of investment, two years are scarcely enough to permit long-term planning, and so the uncertainty continues.
That uncertainty about where financial, tax and regulatory policy are headed in turn creates a challenging environment within companies and within firms when it comes to shaping their response to regulatory and compliance changes. That's the environment in which we find ourselves. Given the extent of this change and the predictable uncertainty that will continue for several years, it is very important that companies respond to this in ways that are exceptionally flexible.
How should Finance organizations prepare for this future regulatory environment in spite of uncertainties, particularly global companies that do business in multiple jurisdictions? What sustainable practices in their control and reporting processes and systems do they need to invest in to prepare for the future?
Being globally active, of course, only ramps up the uncertainty because the requirements from multiple jurisdictions are layered on the responsibility of senior Finance executives for U.S. compliance. It is nonetheless possible to synthesize thematically many of the global requirements, because at least topically, they have very much in common.
What is most important is that the different parts of a global organization can talk to one another and that the human beings who must extract information from the IT systems that collect and disgorge that information can rationalize it. In particular, companies that address these changes in ways that are adaptable and flexible will have a clear advantage. Companies that fail to manage the process in this way will likely find their companies non-compliant and their risk management practices called into question – not only by regulators, but also by their shareholders and their customers.
Do you think that the passage of Dodd-Frank will reduce systemic risk and improve stability in our financial services institutions?
Unfortunately, the Dodd-Frank Act failed to address several of the
most significant causes of instability in the financial system and
sources of systemic risk. The first is the status of the
This is particularly salient, as the conservatorships have required the GSEs to engage in practices that support housing at the expense of their financial well-being. Likewise, the government's completely unjustifiable practice of keeping these two GSEs off the federal balance sheet, even as they are under government ownership, makes a mockery of financial reporting norms and honest accounting. Addressing this glaring omission in the Dodd-Frank Act remains a top priority of financial reform.
Next in importance is the inadequacy of bank capital and liquidity standards. Dodd-Frank did not adequately address the obvious failure of the Basel standards in the financial crisis. Those standards continue to create powerful incentives for asset concentration in mortgages and a reliance on credit ratings, and of course both of those had a role in generating the mortgage bubble that led to the financial crisis.
So the short answer to that question would be "No."
Correct. I'd also say that Dodd-Frank has given the Financial Stability Oversight Council a strong incentive to protect competitors rather than to protect competition, which might take market share from the dominant firms. The systemically important designation implies government readiness to support those firms in a crisis, perversely encouraging more risky behavior despite the more stringent capital and other requirements and thus deepening moral hazard.
Can you discuss some of the best practices for boards of directors with regard to risk oversight? Do you think that changes in proxy disclosure with regard to risk governance has had an impact on risk management practices?
Yes. In 2010, the SEC added requirements for proxy statement discussion of a company's board leadership structure and its role in risk oversight. Now companies are required to disclose in their annual reports the extent of the board's role in risk oversight, and they're required to address such topics as how the board administers its oversight function, the effect that risk oversight has on the board's processes, and whether and how the board or one of its committees monitors risk. That increased focus on risk management has had considerable and very earnest take-up across the corporate community.
There are several types of actions that companies and their appropriate committees have been taking to step up their focus on risk management. Without question, they are spending more time with management, and isolating the categories of risk that the company faces – focusing on risk concentrations and interrelationships, the likelihood that these risks might materialize, and the effectiveness of the company's potential mitigating measures.
Many companies have created risk management committees. Financial companies, of course, that are covered by Dodd-Frank must have designated risk management committees, but boards of other companies have carefully considered the appropriateness of a dedicated risk committee, and many of them have found it prudent to create one. In other cases, boards have delegated oversight of risk management to the audit committee, which is consistent with the New York Stock Exchange rule that requires the audit committee to discuss policies with respect to risk assessment and risk management.
For large-cap companies that have a Big Board listing, that has continued to be another way to address these heightened concerns. I think boards are carefully bearing in mind that different kinds of risks may be better-suited to the expertise of different kinds of committees, so they may not always wish to stovepipe responsibility for risk in a single committee.
Above all, best practices today are focused on the fact that regardless of how the board subdivides its responsibilities, the full board has the responsibility to satisfy itself that the activities of its various committees are co-ordinated and that the company has adequate risk management processes in place.
It's a fascinating world. I can see why if you're a controller or CFO it's an exciting but intense place to be.
I think that's absolutely right. All of these changes we've discussed – in particular in the US – mean that we are entering an era of unprecedented demand on companies' governance, risk, and compliance processes and IT infrastructures. I think that companies have dealt with regulatory changes over the past half-century largely incrementally. They've made adjustments to their enterprise-wide systems as needed to comply with what have been modest changes from year to year. But given the enormous scope of changes in these forthcoming new regulations, companies will find it necessary to find a comprehensive and holistic approach to at least regulatory reporting – and, in my view, their management control as well.
Companies have traditionally relied on different processes to gather enterprise data to help management run the business on the one hand, and to gather data in order to satisfy regulators, on the other. In part, that was sustainable because the information that regulators were requiring was historical and post-facto. But things are rapidly changing under these new frameworks. Regulators including the SEC are now requiring information that is risk-based and predictive. While that is a big change, it's also a significant silver lining in that this will align the process of collecting and gathering information more closely with what management needs. That means that CIOs should be looking for ways to integrate their regulatory and their management reporting processes. For that reason, regulatory reporting doesn't have to be viewed as sheer cost, or necessary evil. Instead, there can be significant efficiencies and productivity gains for the enterprise by merging the requirements of management and regulatory data gathering processes.
This convergence will also allow companies to restructure their data in a way that will feed predictive analytical systems. That, in turn, can lead to an improvement in both risk management at the board level, and risk-based decision-making processes at the management level.
About Christopher Cox, Former Chairman, United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)
Beginning in 1988, when he was elected to the House of Representatives, Christopher Cox established a record of legislative accomplishments that elevated him to the top of the Congressional leadership. His wide range of expertise in a variety of complex issues gives him the ability to take the long view of the economic future, predicting both the actions of Congress and the effects those actions will have on the marketplace. The author of the Internet Tax Freedom Act, which protects Internet users from multiple and discriminatory taxation, Cox held leadership positions ranging from chairmanships on committees and taskforces overseeing everything from budget process reform and policy to homeland security and financial services. During his tenure as chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission, he continued this fight for justice and transparency in the world of investing.
An Accomplished Lawmaker and Reformer. During his seventeen years in Congress, Cox served in the majority leadership of the U.S. House of Representatives. He authored the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act, which protects investors from fraudulent lawsuits, and his legislative efforts to eliminate the double tax on shareholder dividends led to legislation that cut the double tax by more than half. In addition, he served in a leadership capacity as a senior member of every committee with jurisdiction over investor protection and U.S. capital markets, including the Energy and Commerce Committee, the Financial Services Committee, the JointEconomic Committee, and the Budget Committee.
An Advocate for Investors. At the SEC, Cox focused on the enforcement of securities law enforcement, bringing a variety of groundbreaking cases against market abuses such as hedge fund insider-trading, stock options backdating, and municipal securities fraud. He also helped turn the Internet into a secure environment, free of securities scams, and he worked to halt fraud aimed at senior citizens. As SEC chairman, he was one of the world's leaders in the effort to integrate U.S. and overseas regulatory policies in this era of global capital markets, making international securities exchanges safe, profitable, and transparent. As part of an overall focus on the needs of individual investors, Cox reinvigorated the SEC's initiative to provide important investor information in plain English, championing the investor's right to a transparency. His reforms included transforming the SEC's system of mandated disclosure from a static, form-based approach to one that taps the power of interactive data to give investors qualitatively better information about companies, mutual funds, and investments of all kinds.
In 1994 Cox was appointed by President Clinton to the bipartisan commission on entitlement and tax reform, which published its unanimous report in 1995. From 1986 until 1988, he served in as senior associate counsel to President Reagan. From 1978-1986, he specialized in venture capital and corporate finance with Latham & Watkins. Cox received an M.B.A. from Harvard Business School and a J.D. from Harvard Law School, where he was an Editor of the Harvard Law Review.

This was a good recipe. However, both my husband and I felt cilantro would be great added ingredient to give it that extra punch. As previous reviews suggested I added avacado and extra cheese. Instead of heating on the grill, which I thought would dry out the tortillas, I heated both the chicken and tortilla in the microwave. Then I spooned the chicken on to the tortilla and topped with the other ingredients that had been mixed together. I will add this at to one of my go to recipes

KISS star Gene Simmons has confirmed reports suggesting he and bandmate Paul Stanley attempted to sign Christian quarterback Tim Tebow to their arena football team L.A. KISS.
Tebow split fans while playing for the New York Jets and Denver Broncos and has since quit to become a sports broadcaster, but Simmons reveals he made a pitch for the star before he made the decision to become a pundit.
The rocker, whose L.A. KISS team underperformed in its first season – only winning three of 18 games, tells TV Guide that he's still hopeful Tebow will sign up.
He says, "He's got aspirations to be a broadcaster… but we would love for him to come on board because he's a family guy, a devout Christian, doesn't use drugs or booze, and he doesn't torture dogs (reference to disgraced New York Jets quarterback Michael Vick).

1968 Dodge ChargerWritten by on November 1, 1999 Steve Crawford Built His '68 Charger R/T His Way
Take a classic piece of Mopar iron--a little tired, and somewhat ragged around the edges--and the answer to the question "What to do with it?" is usually already set in stone. From the show-circuit-numbers-gurus to the casual admiring fan, the expectation is the same: O.E. resto.
Sure, a few non-stock mods can be mixed into the process--magazine guys tagged the idea "restification"--but pity the Mopar builder who strays too far from the mainstream and doesn't get it right. Yeah, cut your own path, mess with the way Chrysler originally put it together, and you're on your own; thou shalt be judged. If the subject of your wayward ways is a less sacred article, say a '74 Scamp, you may be given a pass. Contemplate a radical custom build on a genuine '68 Charger R/T and brace yourself for the onslaught of scrutiny and whispers. It takes guts, and you'd better be able to pull it off. Steve Crawford chose to risk it and build his '68 Charger R/T his own way. The melding of what originally came from Chrysler, and what came from the talented minds of those involved with the build, resulted in the mind-blowing machine pictured here. This particular Charger and Steve go back a long way, right back to day one for the Charger, and Steve's 21st birthday. It was February 13, 1968, when he walked into the local Dodge dealer, Wasco Motors, in Wasco, California, and ordered the car. For his first new car, Steve wasn't interested in a Ford or a Chevy, it had to be a Mopar. A good friend of his had just received a new-for-'68 Charger, and when Steve first set eyes on that Charger it was love at first sight; he knew that was what he wanted.
For the next six years Steve enjoyed the Charger, using it for regular transportation, as well as wringing it out at local Famosa Drag Strip, north of Bakersfield. With a set of M&H wrinklewalls, uncorked, and some fine tuning, the 440 Magnum Charger was worked down to the high 12s on the strip. Just outside Steve's hometown of Shafter, on Cherry Avenue, laid a chunk of straight pavement with the quarter-mile plainly marked out, where the Charger saw regular street action. The Charger got a big reputation with the local performance crowd, but in 1974, the good times with the Charger were about to come to a close--for a while. As Steve tells it, "I had just gotten married, and I didn't need the factory hot rod anymore, so I sold it to a good friend, Eldon Carrol. I was sick when I sold it--my wife couldn't believe I was so attached to that car--I never got over it." Most of the time, that would be the end of the story, but Steve had the buyer promise that if he ever decided to sell or get rid of the Charger, he'd have to let him know, because he may want it back.
Fifteen years later, Steve inquired about the old Charger and found his old friend still had it and that it had been in the garage on blocks for the last five years. Realizing that Steve really wanted that old Mopar, the owner sold the car back at the same price that it had changed hands for a decade-and-a-half before--$1250. The car came out of hibernation straight, and thanks to the dry central California climate, totally rust free.
Says Steve, "First of all, what I wanted to do was get the seats covered, do some bodywork, paint it up, and put it back to stock." After getting going on it, Steve realized, "I don't want this thing stock, I've had it stock. I want to do something different." Doing something different with a classic Mopar is enough to put yourself under the microscope. Steve says, "People were saying that I was doing something that most people don't do; some do, but most are purists who don't like to see any non-stock stuff. I just said I'm going to do it my way this time." Ten years and no small sum of money later, even those at the top of the most self righteous ivory towers in the Mopar hobby find it hard to argue with the result.
We spotted the R/T at Chrysler Performance West's Spring Fling Mopar show in So Cal, where the standout Charger garnered a first place award in B-Body Modified. We got the lowdown on how it came to be. Steve initially set out with an idea of what he wanted, and after a time-consuming false start with a less-than-reputable shop, he hooked up with an outfit called Custom Works in Bakersfield, California. Run by Jerry and Brian Landgraf, Custom Works is not a shop that specializes in Mopars, but by the look of the craftsmanship on Steve's Charger, the specialty is in talent and workmanship. The entire dash structure was hand-fabricated in fiberglass and engine-turned-aluminum for a blending of race style and contemporary luxury. Same for the custom-built console, door panels, and, in fact, the whole gray leather wrapped interior. Outside, subtle custom touches from the hand-built 'glass grill surround to the billet antenna base can easily go unnoticed at first glance; but combined with the Montego Blue Metallic Pearl hue sprayed by custom car legend Bill Cushenbery, the overall visual effect is stunning.
Good looks and tasteful mods are what set this car apart, but even at that, without the performance to back it up, it just doesn't make it. Performance Engineering in Bakersfield built the engine, .030-inch over on the stock bores to clean it up and make room for the Ross 11:1 flat top pistons. Spinning the forged crank is a set of Six Pack heavy-duty rods. The performance ante was kicked up with an Isky 292 duration/.508-inch lift Megacam, opening the stainless valves to make way for the mix dumped-in by a 750 AFB and Weiand two plane manifold. HP-coated Doug Thorley headers direct the pollution to a fully HPC-coated exhaust system. It's all the good stuff and more, but what really sets it apart are the fabricated and one-off pieces custom built for Steve. Why just bolt on a stock fan shroud, when molding-up a one-off 'glass piece would look so much better? Who would go through the effort? Well it's in there, as is the custom installed Sanden A/C system, and even a power steering pump cap whittled from aluminum and polished. Get the idea?
Finally, not content to bolt up a set of 14-inch Magnums and resto bias plys, the wheels were upgraded up front to 8x15 and, out back, 10x15 Budniks. Tires were 225/60R15 and 275/60R15s, respectively. What good is all the wide rubber without the chassis and brakes to go with it? Oversize JFZ discs, Mopar sway bars, and all-new suspension components put the traction to an advantage. Putting the traction to the test are a B&M 2,800 rpm stall converter delivering torque to a Frank Swords-built 727, and a 4.10:1 gearset housed in the original 83/4 rear. The outcome is a low-12 second machine that will stop and handle, and look oh-so-good while doing it.

Ned Yost media session: April 19
Before Tuesday night's 7:10 game against the Cleveland Indians at Kauffman Stadium, Royals manager Ned Yost was unaffected by the weather conditions and touched on Kila Ka'aihue's new spot in the Royals lineup. Despite the cold wind and misty weather environment, it's just another day of playing baseball for Yost and the Royals squad. Turning on the heat in the bullpen and making sure the team is warmed up for tonight's game are just a few of the adjustments the Royals are making to accommodate against the April chill.
When asked a question regarding Kila Ka'aihue moving down to the seventh spot in the Royal's lineup, Yost replied by saying that the first baseman has simply been struggling. Kila has had decent at-bats and at times opposing pitchers make tough pitches on him but Yost wants to keep Kila in the lineup to provide him with opportunities to get him out of his hitting slump and get his bat going. The Royals skipper complimented Kila's hard-working ethic and trusting his ability to do well. When it comes to the lineup, Yost's strategy for the four-game series against the Indians has Kila sitting out for tomorrow night's 7:10 game, but if he plays well tonight, the manager may put him right back in the lineup.
Starting lefty Bruce Chen will be taking the mound tonight against Indians' right-hander Jeanmar Gomez. Chen's skills to keep the ball down, change speeds, and disrupt opposing hitters are all factors to his success thus far in the season. Yost notes that the indication of a good pitcher is to make adjustments to the weather and play with the elements, which we will expect to see in tonight's game.

Jesse Ventura suing WWE
Back in 1990, Jesse Ventura sued Vince McMahon for royalties on the home videos that he appeared on. During a recent interview, someone brought up the point that the WWE Network has changed things up a bit, which prompted Ventura to mention that he was going to be contacting his lawyers to see if his quarterly checks need to be adjusted. This is similar to the complaints that CM Punk had before leaving the company.
