Healthy Origins® CoQ10 Gels (also called Ubiquinone) is a naturally occurring substance that facilitates the production of cellular energy. In every cell in your body, there are small engines called mitochondria. Ninety-five percent of the total energy created within the body comes from these mitochondria, and none of it can take place without CoQ10. Our 100% natural (trans-isomer) CoEnzyme Q 10 is produced through a yeast fermentation process and is pharmaceutical grade, the highest quality available. Kaneka Q10 is manufactured either in Japan or in Pasadena, Texas (the only COQ10 raw material made in the USA).*
Here are the facts: Extensive research evidences that CoQ10 should be considered a cornerstone of any comprehensive individual nutrition program whether an individual is young or old, healthy or not so healthy.
However, all CoQ10 is not created equal. There are both natural and synthetic varieties of the ingredient. Natural CoQ10 (trans-isomer) is preferred because it is fermented from yeast and is identical to our bodys own CoQ10 and better assimilated. Also, research studies on the health benefits of CoQ10 have been conducted with the trans-isomer form. Synthetic CoQ10 (CIS form) is chemically processed using tobacco and while is cheaper, is considered to be impure and difficult to absorb.
Healthy Origins® is pleased to announce a premium line of CoQ10 softgels containing 100% natural (trans-isomer) Kaneka Q10. All of our CoQ10 gels are formulated with pure cold pressed olive oil for enhanced absorption.
Kaneka Corporation of Osaka, Japan is the worlds largest manufacturer of CoQ10. Kaneka Q10 is 100% pure, naturally fermented from a yeast (trans-isomer) ingredient. The raw material is pharmaceutical grade and non-GMO. Kaneka has been manufacturing CoQ10 in Japan since 1977 and has recently opened a state of the art CoQ10 manufacturing plant in the USA, located in Pasadena, Texas. Several years ago Kaneka introduced their new brand logo to the market and selected Healthy Origins® as the first national brand to display their Kaneka Q10 logo. When you see Kaneka Q10 on the label, you are assured of receiving the highest quality ingredient available in the world.
All Healthy Origins® CoQ10 gels are encapsulated in the USA using only Kaneka Q10 produced exclusively in Pasadena, TX, USA.
Healthy Origins® offers a full range of CoQ10 strengths and sizes including 100 mg, 200 mg, 300 mg, and 400 mg. All of our CoQ10 gels are fortified with an additional 5 percent CoQ10 raw material to insure that every softgel capsule is a minimum of 100 percent of label claim. Our mission at Healthy Origins® is to enhance your health by providing a healthy value from reliable origins!
All Healthy Origins® CoQ10 gels are encapsulated in the USA using only Kaneka Q10 produced exclusively in Pasadena, TX, USA.

The more I read about wheat, the less I want to eat any. That's why I made a new biscuit recipe without Carbquik. These can be made as a plain biscuit, or you can add the cheddar and garlic for a low carb garlic cheddar biscuit. These are also gluten-free.
Low Carb Biscuits
1 1/2 cups almond flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon baking powder
2 eggs
1/3 cup sour cream
4 tablespoons melted butter
1/3 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray a pan with non-stick cooking spray. (These spread out too much and puff up too little on a cookie sheet. Use a pan with 12 wells.) Mix all dry ingredients. Add wet ingredients and combine thoroughly. Drop about 2 heaping tablespoons in each well. Bake 10-12 minutes, until golden brown.
NET carbs 2 per biscuit

Hi guys and girls.
I'm looking for an artist that might be interested in doing one or more seperate maps for my needs.
I'm a writer as hobby and passion and I've been working on a world for several years now. I'm working on a appendix for my work, to nail down all my ideas and I'd love some goodlooking maps in it.
I'm myself not really an artist, even though I'm able to control photoshop. But I guess my skills are terrible in comparison with yours.
First of all I'd love to get a map for one of my cities. It's the setting for a huge story I'm working on at the moment and I'd love to see a detailed map for it. I'm pretty much impressed by this map and I think I want to go into this direction. (Style)
I've got a good idea on how this city should work - Where the differnt districts are, how they work with each other and how this city was build and designed. I just don't know how to make my idea into a map.
The city is over 900 years old and grew heavily in the last 240 years. The city was build around a hill where the god of this country setteled down. At first it was a city to prais the god and serve him, but today it's a big and important city of trade. 320 years ago there was a war that destroyed part of the city on the south side of it. After the war ended, the south side became the slums and place for the lower classes.
A river seperates the city horizontally and end in the hanging coast where the docks are. North of this river live the upper classes and the god himself. The north-east corner of the city is dominated by the traders and merchants. Near the docks and the river lies the market district.
The different districts are separated via walls, but the city grew outside this old defences as well. There are two streets that dominate the citys flow. The road comes from the south, goes through the slums and divides before the river into two streets. One leading to the merchant district, one leading to the upper classes. There is another road that leads around the slums and joins the original southroad beneath the city.
The population is 41865 people. There are a few important buildings and "signs" that need to be seen in the map:
The castle of the god, surrounded by walls and towers, but with enough space for a small wood inside these walls.
The trading hall near the river with an extra dock.
A whole streets with only warehousing, between the docks and the merchant district, surrounded by walls and only accessable via a gate.
I've got even more small details that could be discussed in the future.
I hope this discription is understandable. I've got the feeling my english kinda sucks in this one. Does it?
If there are further questions regarding my vision of the city, I'd love to talk about this.
Quality and Size
Of course I'd love a good high-res map. But I'm willing to work with the abilities of the artist. As I'm not an expert with digital drawing, I'm going to trust you with this.
I think I'm going to go with "I will have the right to use the image for commercial purposes, the artist will have the right to exhibit the image as part of his portfolio but not to exploit it for commercial gain.".
At the moment this is all just for my own passion and fun, but of course I'd like to get published one day and would love to take the awesome maps with me.
I'm absolutly willing to pay for this map. As I'm a student I won't be able to pay as much as I'd like to, but I'd love to negotiate the price with the artist. My idea is about 40€/56$. I could go a little higher, but as said: I'm really that kind of poor student that has to trade deposit bottles for food.
Let's talk about that in private.
So, this is my request. I've got a sh*tload more ideas and wishes for different maps, but that's for the future.
If you're interested, drop a message. It would be awesome if I could see some of your work befor deciding. I'm going to get in touch with you via email, if you like.

NEW YORK (AP) — A conference on how to make the Broadway experience better for theatergoers has come up with some prescriptions: Be brave in the stories that are told onstage and embrace youth and technology.
The second TEDxBroadway conference on Monday brought together 16 speakers — producers, marketers, entrepreneurs, academics and artists — to try to answer the question: "What is the best Broadway can be?"
Three speakers argued that new technology means the stage experience doesn't need to be confined to the four walls of the theater. One attendee said theater owners need to rethink their lobbies and several said customer service must be enhanced.
And Kristoffer Diaz, the playwright of the Pulitzer Prize finalist "The Elaborate Entrance of Chad Deity," urged producers to embrace different voices.

It's 2013: a brand new year. If you're anything like me, you've promised yourself that this will be the year you actually stick to your resolutions. Well here's your chance to kill two resolutions with one stone: be more charitable and treat yourself to something nice (every now and then). Re/CREATE New York, a collaboration between CREATETHE GROUP and prominent members of New York's creative community, is a charitable platform whose mission is to assist the ongoing relief and rebuilding efforts following the devastation of Hurricane Sandy. They have put together an incredible auction of personal, one-of-a-kind items donated by some of the most notable names in the creative world. 100% of auction proceeds will benefit CREATETHE GROUP. We've got our eyes on the signed Mui Mui dress worn by Anne Hathaway, the Kate Moss coffee table book (signed and kissed by Kate), the 60-second shopping spree from Net-a-Porter, and the custom Alexander McQueen clutch—to name a few. Mark your calendars! The first auction goes live on Friday, January 11 at 10 p.m. EST. www.recreatenewyork.org.

New Orleans, LA (Sports Network) - Ray Lewis was clearly the center of
attention during the Baltimore Ravens' session with the assembled Super Bowl
media on Tuesday, particularly after reports surfaced that the star linebacker
may have used a banned substance to help him recover from his torn triceps
this season.
Lewis wouldn't give much of a response when asked about the Sports Illustrated
story that broke Tuesday.
The Sports Illustrated report said Lewis used deer antler spray, which
contains IGF-1, a substance banned by the NFL.
"Two years ago that was the same report," said Lewis about the SI report
during media day. "I wouldn't give that report or him any of my press. He's
not worthy of that.
"Every test I ever took in the NFL... there's never been a question if I've
ever thought about using anything."
In the SI report, which was made available on SI.com in a story that will
appear in the magazine on Monday, Lewis was taped by the owner of Sports with
Alternatives to Steroids (S.W.A.T.S), Mitch Ross, as asking for help in how to
use the spray.
"Spray on my elbow every two hours?" the SI story quotes Lewis as asking Ross.
"No," Ross said, "under your tongue."
The SI story said Lewis later asked Ross to "just pile me up and just send me
everything you got, because I got to get back on this this week."
Lewis suffered a torn triceps in Week 6. The injury is usually considered
season-ending, but Lewis was able to return for the playoffs and has helped
the team reach its second Super Bowl.

This was very good! My daughter did not like the carrot taste (but she is a very picky eater). I used the crock pot and mine came out like a stew (the chicken was so tender). Next time, I am going to double the can of stewed tomatoes and take out the carrot and see what happens.
This was very good, even my kids loved it. I added a 28 oz can of stewed tomatoes and a little bit of chicken stock so it was a little soupy but the couscous I served it with soaked it right up.
How can this recipe be called "Osso Buco" if it doesn't have veal or bones??

File:Carbon Dioxide Emissions Scenarios.png
From Global Warming Art
This figure documents the projected emissions and atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide according to the six illustrative scenarios developed by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). Carbon dioxide is the most significant greenhouse gas in terms of emissions produced in the year 2000.
Emissions are expressed in billion (109) tonnes of carbon per year (GtC/yr) and concentration in parts per million by volume (ppmv).
Each of these scenarios are developed to illustrate one of a range of possible technological, economic and ecological futures that the IPCC Special Report on Emissions Scenarios [1] considered plausible. Every scenario imagines a world in which no explicit action is taken to combat greenhouse gas emissions, but some scenarios (B1 and B2) explore worlds where "increased environmental awareness" lead independently to pollution controls and cleaner technology. In this sense, every scenario considers a possible world that might occur in the absense of concern for global warming, and thus represent the range of possible futures in the absense of explicit regulation. However, some (A1T) contemplate drastic changes to global energy infrastructure, while others (e.g. A1B) might be considered a more direct continuation of existing trends.
The wide breadth of scenarios considered to be possible is one of the key factors contributing the large uncertainty in estimates of global warming effects during the 21st century (1.4 to 5.8 °C from 1990 to 2100 [IPCC 2001a, [2]]). The other key factor is disagreement amongst models of the response expected for a given greenhouse gas concentration.

"We are excited to supply our family-farmed fruits to one of the most respected companies for baby food - Earth's Best. It's a great partnership that helps establish an early foundation of healthy habits for the next generation," says Roger Pepperl, Stemilt marketing director.
The Mathison family began farming over a century ago on their hilltop homestead overlooking the Columbia River. But in 1964, with the help of some neighboring growers, Tom Mathison established the Stemilt Growers we know today. For decades, the Mathison family has continued to develop their family-owned farms by adding packaging plants, storage facilities, orchard operations and marketing partnerships. But they always wanted to do more for the earth. In 1989, the Mathison's began promoting sustainable agriculture practices through the Responsible Choice program. Today, with 2,000 acres of land dedicated to organic farming, Stemilt Growers is one of the largest organic growers in Washington state.
Apples and pears
High-elevations offer ideal growing conditions for fruit trees. Setmilt Growers use recycling and composting to conserve water and prevent soil erosion. Each year the company prevents 160 truckloads of waste from the landfills.

Pro Race 24278 - Pro Race Products Pro Street Harmonic Balancers
JEGS Part Number: 439-24278Pro Street Harmonic Balancer
Pro Race Products Pro Street Harmonic Balancers
PRO/STREET dampers are not intended for racing, the fact that they are cast of nodular iron, as opposed to ordinary gray iron, means that they are suitable for higher rpms than most competitive models. (Note: The PRO/STREET Nodular Iron Harmonic Dampers are NOT SFI certified). However to prove the integrity of the PRO/STREET dampers, Pro Race Products had the SFI test lab run some spin tests. The PRO/STREET damper was subjected to 8,000rpm for one hour, and then 12,500rpm for 15 minutes with no sign of degradation! Unlike many OE dampers, or other replacement style dampers, the PRO/STREET range feature a bonded elastomer! The elastomer is injected at high temperature and under extreme pressure. In fact during the manufacturing process EACH AND EVERY PRO/STREET damper is subjected to elastomer bond test of 3000lbs separation force. If there is any sign of bond degradation then the damper is scrapped. Many OEM dampers aren't bonded at all.

Rapper Eminem has become the first artist in almost 50 years to score at least four hits in the U.S. top 20 as a lead artist.
The star's new duet with Rihanna, "The Monster," debuted at three on the Billboard Hot 100 countdown on Wednesday, ahead of three other top 20 hits from his "The Marshall Mathers LP 2," making him the first act since the Beatles in 1964 to land the feat.
"Berzerk," "Survival" and "Rap God" placed at numbers 15, 16 and 17, respectively on the new chart.
According to Billboard.com, the last time that happened was in April, 1964, when the Fab Four charted with six songs in the top 20 for two successive weeks.
50 Cent, T-Pain, Lil Wayne and Ludacris have also landed four top 20 hits in the same week – but they were featured artists on some of the tunes.

Darci Marchese, wtop.com
WASHINGTON – Those who are surfing for homes on the market may notice a handful of short sales.
Foreclosures have been hampering the housing market for years now, but another type of distressed property is seeing an uptick.
Short sales, where a bank agrees to let a property sell for less than what is owed on the mortgage, are on the rise.
Realty Trac's Daren Blomquist says foreclosure sales were down 44 percent in Maryland from the previous years, while short sales made up 28 percent of all home sales in Maryland.
He says banks prefer short sales because the foreclosure process takes so long in Maryland.
However, Blomquist predicts more foreclosures will hit the market in six to 12 months.
D.C. has experienced a similar trend as Maryland, while distressed properties are down overall in Virginia.

Testing 6 Sporty CarsWritten by Drew Hardin on April 8, 2014 A Look at "Sports/Personal" Cars in 1968
By the '68 model year, the "sports/personal" market—those cars we now tend to gather under the pony car umbrella—was four years old and getting crowded. The Mustang and Barracuda had the market to themselves for a couple of years, but by 1967 other brands had introduced sporty cars of their own. Casual shoppers were likely confused by the glut and were looking for help in sorting out the strengths and weaknesses of the various players.
Recognizing this fact, Motor Trend gathered six '68-model sporty cars in late 1967 for a comparison test. "By assessing all of the cars on a comparative basis, we hoped to reveal the inherent weakness in a market apparently overcrowded with identical products," wrote the editors in the Jan. '68 issue. "We discovered quite the contrary."
Instead, they came to realize that "because of the 'personal' characteristic of the class, the cars all differ, though all differences are vague or subtle. Two emphasize luxury, one economy, and all six offer performance and a specific kind of comfort, each of which can be rendered in the owner's own unique manner from manifold options and accessories."
Here, then, is a distilled recount of their impressions. This was not a shootout; there was no winner, unless you consider the new car buyer at the time as the ultimate winner, given the trove of choices he or she had at the dealerships.
15.2 sec. @ 94 mph
By the '68 model year the Mustang had matured into a car suitable for a huge swath of the buying public, from those wanting a six-cylinder economy car to the drag racers building 427-inch FE motors (the Cobra Jet was still a few months off). "We prefer the 390 GT V-8 for performance tasks, mostly because it's doubtful the average user would ever realize the full potential from the 427, and probably be frustrated with the 302 four-barrel V-8," said Trend. The 390 was "extremely mild mannered around town and doesn't act up in traffic or when the temperature climbs."
Handlingwise, "the Mustang suspension delivers straightforward reliability in hard use." Steering didn't impress the editors, but the car's braking did. "The front disc/rear drum power brakes provide a tremendous edge over normal non-power four-wheel drum binders."
Inside, "sit-down comfort is okay," they wrote, but they did not like the steering wheel. Not only did it protrude too close to the driver, but the optional Tilt-Swing wheel "doesn't lock in place" when the door is opened. "It just moves up and to the right and then is as sloppy as a wet mop."
No car is perfect, the editors admitted. "The Mustang has some rough edges built in, but not enough to take away any of the glamour. The other ponycar makers realize that only too well."
15.6 sec. @ 92 mph
In the second year of production three engines were added to the Camaro's options list. Choices ranged from a 140hp six to a 325hp 396 big-block V-8. The latter, mated to a three-speed automatic and a 3.07 gear, was in Trend's test car. "The 396 puts out a torque rating of 410 lb-ft at a leisurely 3,200 rpm, which is quite sufficient for this 3,680-pound, short-wheelbase stormer. This big engine truly represents brute force in a car this size." While that force was dampened some by the tester's power accessories, "the car was able to do a respectable 0 to 60 in 7.8 seconds and turned a quarter-mile at 92 mph."
The guys also liked the car's road manners. "Handling this car is a joy, one of the outstanding features. Its wide-stance, low-profile chassis offers exceptional riding comfort with good handling and outstanding roadability."
One option the editors recommended was the Positraction differential, especially in a car with the "big engine." It was "invaluable for cornering, or even when leaving a parking lot. With big power under the hood, the rear end could break loose without much provocation, but Positraction negates the fishtail urge before it starts. Put your foot into it coming out of a corner. The feeling when the rear end digs in and puts you in a straight line is pure security blanket."
Much as they liked the Camaro, the editors had a few gripes, from the console-mounted gauge package "that is almost impossible to see from the driver's seat" to the engine compartment, crowded as it was with power accessories. Still, in sum, they said, "If you like 'em small and fast, Camaro comes on like a champ."
15.2 sec. @ 92 mph
The Trend editors gave the Barracuda decidedly mixed reviews. "There are no moments of emotional or physical ecstasy with the Barracuda, but at least it doesn't present phony impressions of fulfillment," was their opening statement. Yet in the next paragraph they called the new 340ci Formula S engine "one of the more exciting engines tested this year," while then venting their frustration at having to run "under the onus of its smog control constrictor, air conditioner and power steering." Interesting, too, that they called the Barracuda's 15.2-second quarter-mile time "somewhat leisurely" even though only one car in the test was quicker—and by just a tenth of a second, at that.
Handling was not the Barracuda's strong suit. "All you have is a smaller big car that doesn't sway as much as the family sedan." Some assist was provided by "the wide E70-14 tires and the relatively light weight of that fine 340 engine," but even at that, "there was excessive body lean, and an easy drift did not occur until it was too late to be completely trusted."
So, what did they like? Well, the engine, which they said "will no doubt emerge as 'The Powerplant' of the year, both in design and performance." There was also praise for its styling, "and roominess and comfort will unsell the deficiencies mentioned above."
15.1 sec. @ 93 mph
The editors may have been lukewarm about the Barracuda, but they loved the Javelin, calling it "a world apart from the other ponycars in styling, comfort, space and features." While calling out "surprisingly good performance" of the Javelin's standard 145hp six-cylinder, they said the top-shelf 280hp 343 that they tested really "'got with the program' when pushed. Performance of our test car was just short of surprising," and the car logged the quickest quarter-mile e.t. of the bunch.
"A rude awakening waited for us in the handling test," they wrote, sounding like they were leading up to a complaint. But no. "In SST form with the 343 V-8, which includes a stout handling package, the car turned and cornered as if it were nailed to the road. The fat E70-14 tires included in the package heartily contribute to lateral stability, while lending a big car feel and handling trait during straight-line tooling. If auto racing were relegated to strictly stock cars, we'd put our bet here."
Interior roominess got high marks, as did seat comfort and dash layout. Among the few complaints lodged against the Javelin was that its "standard flow-through ventilation really falls down on the job." That and the reverse lockout handle on the shift lever "interferes with knuckles during quick shifts."
15.4 sec. @ 93 mph
While this comparison awarded no winner, the editors clearly had favorite cars, and the Firebird was one of them. They wrote, "Javelin, Camaro, Barracuda and Mustang are the 'pocketbook' specials, while the Cougar relies on 'class' to elicit more money from the buyer. Firebird has 'em all covered, offering an economical 6 and a wailin' 400-cu.-in. top V-8 option."
The editors called the Firebird's inline-six Sprint option "a groovy package for any enthusiast," but they "heartily recommended" the 400 H.O. motor in their test car. "Not at all hard to manage in ordinary duty, it really comes on at the track."
Noting that complaints about a stiff ride had been lodged against the '67 Firebirds with HD suspensions, the editors said the new '68 version "has both good handling and moderately smooth ride." Improvements had been made; "engineers have cushioned the ride somewhat." But despite the changes, "the HD-equipped cars still take jolts and bumps harder than normal."
Steering action was good too. "The power assist makes every kind of driving easier, and we found no oversteer or loss of feel during quick maneuvers."
In the end, the Motor Trend editors seemed to see the Firebird as the Goldilocks sporty car: Just right. "Maybe running the gamut of price and power is the answer in this field."
15.4 sec. @ 91 mph
The Cougar embodied "Lincoln-Mercury's theory of a small sporty car appealing to luxury-minded buyers when equipped somewhat better than the majority of ponycars," wrote the Motor Trend editors. "Since it is touted as a comfort car, finding it a good driving machine may come as a shock to first-time pilots." The four-barrel 390 V-8 in their test car "impressed us with smooth performance at low speeds, yet a ready reserve of power when needed."
They called the Cougar's road manners "exceptional, especially in view of the fact it's not lined up to compete on handling virtues alone. In any form, Cougars are taut handlers. They react quickly to driver demands, and weight transfer lean doesn't induce tire roll-under. The tail-end is extremely accurate in following the front."
As the most luxurious car in the bunch, "comfort is the big point" of the Cougar, they wrote. "Only subtle refinements in cushioning and sound deadening set the car apart from its lower-priced competitors, but that's all it takes to make a big difference." In fact, "driving comfort is so groovy, owners might want to move 15 or 20 miles farther from work just for the pleasure of the ride back and forth each day. . . . For those who want the dash of a small car and aren't willing to sacrifice big-car comfort, the Cougar appears to be the 'hot setup.'"


text: When Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, last September ordered the creation of a special task force to investigate corruption in the Emirate, there were many who assumed that it would be all bark and no bite; that some unfortunate scapegoats would be held up as examples while a blind eye would be turned to other, more important individuals. There's a feeling – right or wrong – among expatriates in Dubai that, while foreigners get slapped in jail for the slightest transgressions, Emiratis, especially prominent ones, are likely to be treated less harshly for their misdemeanours. But this week's sentencing of former junior minister Khalifa Bakhit al-Falasi to a one-year suspended jail term for defrauding a Lebanese businesswoman is just the latest in a string of high-profile cases that's seen nationalities across the board penalised for crimes committed largely… Read more

1965 Pontiac GTO - Square OneWritten by on July 1, 2011 Global West builds an understated '65 GTO that recaptures the essence of early Pro Touring.
Some people are blessed, or cursed, with the ability to fib, but Doug Norrdin isn't one of them. The official company line, the kind of thing you tell to your accountant or spouse, is that the '65 GTO you see before you was built for business purposes. Uh, OK. That business is Global West, a company that's been pushing the aftermarket suspension cause for decades, so at least on the surface this line of reasoning seems legit. The thing is, the GTO is far too nice for your typical test mule. There's no denying that the Goat most certainly assisted in the development of Global West's A-body suspension components, but does getting the job done really require a supercharged Pontiac 400, a six-speed stick, a mint interior, and perfect paint? It doesn't take much prodding to get Doug to admit that using the GTO as an R&D vehicle merely served as a good excuse to build his dream car. Hey, we're not complaining, because the end product is a sweet back-to-basics street machine that harkens back to the early days of Pro Touring.
In the beginning, Pro Touring was all about purposeful tweaks intended to improve road course prowess and street cruising competence. It was a time when wheel diameters had yet to grow 5 inches too large, and trunks were stuffed with toolboxes and racing slicks rather than lawn chairs and ice chests. That's what Doug's GTO is all about, a refreshing throwback to a bygone era. Its Vortech-blown Pontiac motor puts down 410 rwhp, enough to launch it effectively out of corners, but not so much as to roast the hides in a tail-wagging stupor. The Goat's iconic 17-inch Torq-Thrusts II wheels are big enough to accommodate 275mm road race tires and 13-inch brakes, but aren't so massive that they adversely affect unsprung weight and gearing. Considering Doug's extensive background as a race car builder, the GTO's emphasis on performance over showmanship isn't the least bit surprising.
During his decorated career, Doug has designed the suspension systems in everything from Formula Ford to IMSA to USAC race cars. After years of touring the country helping racers set up their instant centers and camber curves on a freelance basis, he earned enough business to venture out on his own full time in 1980. "I rented out an 800 square-foot building, took out a $5,000 loan to buy some tools, and opened up a shop," he says. "I didn't like a lot of the suspension parts that were on the market, so I decided to make my own. One of my instructors in school used to test suspension parts for USAC cars, and I got a job working for him. While performing stress tests, I found out where the parts usually broke and which metals were more durable than others. Through that experience, I learned a lot about materials, which helped greatly when I started manufacturing parts."
Granted, Doug's been building race cars for most of his adult life, his love of GTOs goes way back to his childhood. His aunt had a '65 GTO, and he weaseled his way behind the wheel from time to time. "Back when I was growing up in the Midwest, we got our driver's licenses at 14 years old. I got a taste of my aunt's 389 Tri-power GTO, and I was instantly hooked," he says. "I had to have a GTO, and I found a '66 four-speed car parked between a stack of hay bales while driving through South Dakota one day. The car had some issues with the motor, so the owner sold it to me for $400. That was my high school car, and ever since I sold it I've been trying to get it back. They say that the cars you had in school are the ones you should have kept, and that was definitely the case with my first GTO."
With memories of his high school car refusing to relent, Doug found the perfect candidate through which to relive his youth 16 years ago outside of San Diego. The '65 Goat he spotted was an original 389-powered four-speed car, and had nary a hint of rust. "Back then, GTOs weren't nearly as expensive as they are today, so I traded a pile of parts for the car and took it home," he says. Over the next six years, Doug used the car as a daily driver, but eventually the motor got tired and the paint had seen better days. Thus began an exhaustive restoration process that took much longer than Doug cares to admit. "Since the GTO is my own personal car, it's the last car I work on at the end of the day, and we just finished it up two years ago. The original goal was to build a daily driver setup for handling, but somewhere during the process I went over the edge. The car went to paint jail for a year and a half, and needed some rust repair beneath the bottom of the rear windshield. I figured that while the car is apart, we might as well drop the frame and clean it up. That led to pulling the Muncie for a Richmond six-speed, running new stainless steel brake lines inside the frame, and powdercoating everything."
Naturally, the Goat boasts premium Global West suspension hardware. After all, it's the car that Doug used to develop the company's A-body prototype pieces. Up front, Global West's Negative Roll system consists of tubular upper and lower control arms, a 1.125-inch sway bar, inner and outer tie rods and sleeves, a centerlink, an idler arm, and coil springs matched with QA1 shocks. Out back are Global West adjustable tubular control arms, frame supports, spherical bearings for the rearend housing, springs, and QA1 shocks. The suspension upgrades were matched with a Delphi fast-ratio steering box, and the steering column was shortened 3 inches for better arm extension from inside the cabin.
Although these components yield substantial improvements in handling, Doug took things several steps further. "In the handling department, the stock A-body platform doesn't have much going for it. The frame flexes a lot in the middle, and you have to be very careful with the ride height because small changes in instant center can really hurt how effectively they hook up," he says. "With an A-body, correct suspension geometry is far more conducive to handling than lowering the ride height. If you build a frame from scratch, you can put the suspension pickup points where you want them and lower the car as much as you want. With a stock frame you don't have that luxury, so we had to correct the geometry as much as possible with our suspension hardware. Likewise, simply boxing the frame doesn't add any rigidity, so we welded tabs inside the rails as well. Now we have diagonal tabs inside the rails that reinforce the frame in addition to custom inter-locking body mounts. The benefits of a stiff frame is that a car will transfer weight much faster, and therefore respond faster to steering, acceleration, and braking inputs. It's much easier to diagnose a car that has a stiff chassis than one that's flopping around everywhere."
Doug's GTO may be a rolling showcase of cutting-edge suspension hardware, but that doesn't mean the motor has been neglected. He pulled the original 389 for a stock 400 out of a '68 Firebird. When Vortech got word of the project, they decided to use Doug's car to develop a new centrifugal supercharger kit for first-gen GTOs. Other than a rinky-dink 214/214-at-.050 hydraulic flat-tappet cam, the motor is bone stock. Nevertheless, it still manages to put down a respectable 410 rwhp at just 7 psi of boost. The horses are then channeled back to a GM 12-bolt rearend fortified with 31-spline axles.
Despite the Goat's aversion to billet and chrome, people dig it wherever it goes. Perhaps they too are growing tired of the ostentatious flare of many modern Pro Touring machines. "Don't get me wrong; I wanted to build a nice car but nothing that was over the top," Doug says. "People walk up to the car, look it over, and say, 'There's a lot going on beneath the sheetmetal, but it's still a GTO.' That's exactly the kind of car I wanted to build."

Fitting the Richmond six-speed proved to be an extremely labor intensive chore. Since the factory Muncie is tiny in comparison to the big Richmond, the entire trans tunnel was cut out and widened. The six-speed shifted the rest of the driveline rearward 3.5 inches and required a custom crossmember.The interior has been restored rather than modified. The buckets, gauges, dash, and carpet are all reconditioned originals or stock replacement parts. For cruising comfort, a Vintage Air A/C system and a Sony 11-speaker stereo have been neatly integrated into the stock-looking cabin.The intercooler reservoir and pump are mounted behind the passenger headlamps. On track outings it can be packed with ice to keep the inlet air temps at bay.Back in the mid '80s when the GTO was first being built, big brake kits weren't readily available. Using his race car know-how, Doug built his own kit using Wilwood six-piston calipers, Coleman 13-inch rotors off of a stock car, and custom billet hubs. The kit is still available through Global West under PN C5-1300-6.

Looks splendid. My only concern is that the map borders cramp it a bit. If they come in by water or along the beach then you might need enough map for a bow shot.

Agreed. Water is magnificent.
I caught that it was cracked earth/mud.
My nitpick would be the texture under the water. If it is a moving river, that ground would not be cracked, but instead it would be fairly smooth and depending on the speed of the water is likely to show lots of rocks and pebbles (depending on the terrain the river is cutting through). Also, the water needs to be deep enough around the piers to handle the watercraft, but not knowing what the craft will be that is hard to judge in this instance.

I have to admit I just saw a shore side and assumed sand rather than opening my mind to other possibilities
Dayum! That looks so good I'd like to canoe there. The only thing that even comes close to being a nitpick is what SG said about the trees but since there aren't that many trees to use it looks fine to me. I especially like the fade on the pebbles on the river bottom and the muddy footprints, and of course the amazing water and muddy riverbank. Truly awe inspiring so that makes this awesome

Hi Bro, Please comment or vote on my designs for One Color Only Contest and my other design, Thanks.
What a terrible curse, the painful irony of the sweetest heart that is prisoner of great beauty and profound solitude by the enchantment of forbidden magic and cruel fate.
The gods spoke with anger to her words of suffering desperation and turned her loveliness into an unbearable cage. What did she do to deserve such an eternal penitence?, there are no words to describe the magnitude of her sin and yet, all her victims saw a longing trace of sadness lost in her eyes, just before they become cold stone, she saw into their souls claiming for some merciful human touch, that prohibited need always unsatisfied.
Disconsolate Medusa, do not cry for the hurtful lack of love that fills your empty nights, pray just pray with humble ordeal for the forgiveness that will reveal the better days to come, just pray full of faith and love might show its precious glow, for those who await and believe a new bright age arises now.

DENVER (AP) -- A storm that has dumped more than a foot of snow in the Rocky Mountains could cause headaches for travelers in the Midwest.
Drivers in Iowa and Nebraska are being warned to be careful or stop driving altogether starting Wednesday evening as the first major winter storm of the season heads into the central Plains. Strong winds are expected to create blizzard conditions.
Light snow is also expected at Chicago's O'Hare International Airport on Thursday and strong winds could make visibility poor. National Weather Service forecaster Jamie Enderlen says that, combined with low clouds, could cause delays at the nation's second-busiest airport.
Delays at Denver's airport, the fifth-busiest, were averaging 30 minutes because of snow and ice Wednesday. Interstates in Colorado remained open.
ROCKFORD (WIFR) -- Stateliners are already starting to gear up for the first storm of the year. 290 days is how long it has been since the Rockford Area last saw accumulating snow. Tomorrow, all of that will end, and the city of Rockford will be ready for it. Two groups will be on standby as the storm approaches and eventually rotating 12-hour shifts. If the storm is worse than expected the city does have a private contractor on standby for additional support. Some crews are already out in preparation and priority is keeping the main roads clear.
"We will start with the pre-treatment of a salt mixture we have. We will go out and use the salt mixture before it starts snowing. We want to make sure the main streets are taken care of right away," said Public Works Director, Tim Hanson.
The city of Rockford has implemented it's snow ordinance that goes into place at 8:00 a.m. Thursday morning and they will be ticketing if you are parked in a snow zone.

Why Don't Our Managers Identify High-Potential Workers?
Dear New Year:
Congratulations on identifying "up and comers" in your organization. This group of people will build the talent you need for the future, so you are on the right track. It is crucial to involve your managers early on in the identification process and provide them with a systematic framework for discussing the skills of the individuals thus identified. It's also important that you have discussions internally about the candidates.
You should describe the approach, the various steps, and the definitions with your supervisors and managers long before you embark on this process. This will save you headaches downstream, should some manager's favorite employee not make the list and he or she decides to challenge the methodology and outcome … and thus challenge you.
What Does Not Work
Your biggest challenge is that managers typically do not know how to identify a high-potential employee or how to predict behavior. This results in a lack of consistency and reporting. Other pitfalls include:
- Nominations in a vacuum - what you end up with is a list of friends of key stakeholders, not necessarily your best people
- Filling out a bunch of forms and using an overly complicated checklist of skills
- Managers ranking individuals on a nine-box grid.
Identify the task
It is politically savvy to solicit input from senior executives before you construct final criteria and lay out the process to follow. After a draft of criteria and the approach, the senior HR officer (or whomever gave you the assignment) should inform senior management what the organization is doing and how it will define people with high potential—and what happens to the list.
Next, interview your managers and ask them to characterize the employee being discussed. Use this definition of high potential: 'Which individuals in your department that could play a larger role in this company and ultimately advance to the executive table, if we adequately prepare them?' (Be sure to mention that "development might take several years, but these people could advance over time to a job with broader responsibilities, if developed properly. Don't fall into the trap of specifying a certain position or a timeframe, since organizations/titles/jobs change.
Provide them with a copy of the rating scheme and criteria. Use the following scale:
This individual would be rated by their peers and others they work with as:
- Exceptional
- Absolutely one of your best employees
- Better than most workers
In terms of how they approach their work, the individual is viewed as:
Constructively dissatisfied, driven to make the organization continually better for your customers and their fellow employees.
A voracious learner that consistently seeks feedback, who learns from mistakes and applies what is learned to make improvements.
In terms of day to day work, this employee:
- Always gets results
- Is willing to do whatever it takes
- Always can be counted upon
In terms of collaboration, the individual is:
- Viewed as a team player by peers and management
- Someone that everyone likes and, is a 'go-to' person
- Someone who always finds common ground with others/gains cooperation and, advances the issue.
Looking to the future
- The employee would be on management's short list.
- If this individual was promoted today, it would be viewed throughout the organization as a solid move by management.
What happens immediately after the list is prepared
Employees with a preponderance of exceptional marks are most likely those with high potential. Ask your senior management team to meet so you can present your methodology and the eventual outcome. It is also necessary for the individual who gave you the task to back your effort. Keep the list active and circulate it to your chief executives.
After the list is made
