Cracked Windscreen or Broken Wing Mirror? Find a great value Hackney Citroen Specialist.
Excellent customer service and a brilliant job done. The quote was the same as promised, i took the car on a saturday at 10:30 & by 5:30 full service & MOT done. I even had a dent repaired just for £30. From right from the start of receiving the quote from whocanfixmycar.com, i was in touch with Jagg the owner of the garage, he was exceptional. I would definetly recommend Jagg Autos Thanks, Harry
Avoid this con man. I would never recommend this man to anyone. Put my car in for new head gasket, he told me my timing belt needed replacing so I ended up paying £640 instead of £375 original quote. Came back with an oil leak which it didn't go in with, another mechanic looked at my car and said Jagg had over filled it causing a seal to blow so I took it back, Jagg denied causing it and charged me £250 to fix it. Now my timing belt, which he said needed doing, is causing major problems with my car where he's done a shoddy job and he doesn't want to put it right so I've got to pay another garage to fix a problem he caused. He is rude and aggressive if you pull him on his behaviour. I would never use this garage again, he doesn't know what he's doing, just takes your money and leaves you with problems you never went in with.
Excellent service and great communication throughout! Air suspension fixed! Previous garage I went to did a poor job. Jagg is a very honest family man! Would definitely go back and would highly recommend!
Good job. Thanks
Excellent. Explained what needed doing - quick, efficient and kept to his price and word. Thoroughly recommended.
Very good service.
Really great job at a really great price!
Excellent, friendly and fair service. I would definitely use this garage again. Thank you.
we had few miscommunication but they were very professional and did a great job with the works. i will definitely recommend this garage and i will going back to them if anything else arises. Even though there was price dispute i still gave 5* as the estimate price and the actual price was not too much. thank you!
They were brilliant!
One star because you did not write the report I asked and you don't respond to my messages.
Samet has been very professional and has fixed the problem very quickly and at the right price. Will use his services again. Thanks
nice guys, found my problem.
Very professional and quick service

Dear members,
Thank you, NarutoBase Staff
If Rin is a spy or has some special kekkei genkai I will not be happy, she was a medical ninja for god sake.
I liked the pictures but Obito`s screams were silly looking. Like he was howling. I'm trying hard to take him seriously as a villain but it looks like he has a split personality. That one more looked like the silly Tobi that was playing around. Anyhow, I had trouble seeing what was going on. Did Kakashi kill Rin or was it a setup by the mist ninja or was it a clone? What was Kakashi's reaction and did Obito bring Rin away? Did Kakashi even see him? It was just hard to see, even after second reading. I hope next chapter brings some answers.
Obito has to become a cooler villain, really.
I personally think obito's "split personality" or "tobi" isn't obito at all but the zetsu body thing taking over completely, because those zetsu are dumb and silly. Talking about poo and stuff.
Its hard to understand because having a uchiha body missing would be a pretty big deal. And to think they wouldn't ask kakashi what he knew about the incident seems unreal. And how is it so hard to understand how to treat other posters with respect and not be such immature jerks when people are just trying to discuss things? This is suppose to be a place where we can all talk and bounce ideas off each other. Please people stop with all the rudeness. Maybe you think your like a naruto expert or something or your like king of anime dorks or something but when someone doesn't know something or their idea may not be exactly accurate just explain your thought on why you disagree in a respectful manner. You might get more people listening if you just try being a builder upper than a downer. And I understand to some of you this may be your life but who cares who you think is the strongest shinobi? Everyone has their favorite. I don't think kishi has ever made a top ten so done and done. Nobody knows who's strongest if kishi hasn't said it. I'm done now.

- If Kakashi activated his MS so long ago, why did it take him this long. I know he is not an Uchiha, but still he took 10-15 years O.O
-Okay, so Obito knows how to use the abilities so quickly .. this is strange considering he never use to catch onto things so fast
-I loved the page showing the MS activating ^_^
-I wonder what Rin possessed, it seems as though Kakashi killed her to protect some intel she must of had or perhaps she was a spy ? :shrug:
*obviously it was a big thing, those Mist ninja were angry that they had tried so hard to get it O.O
- Kakashi conveniently faints so he could not see Obito come to the rescue
-There was alot of blood, I couldn't tell where it was coming from most of the time <.< I think most of it was from his eye
-I have never seen present Obito use woodstyle , it appears he can use it well aswell O.O
5/5! Great Chapter, confirms my suspicions.
Oh and LssjBroly I think I can bring some enlightenment to your questions...
I don't think Obito was screaming I think that was the black zetsu makes more sense that way to me, I mean that form of zetsu has the same personality as Tobi so I think that's who we've been hearing as far as the childish and obedient nonsense.
Kakashi obviously had no idea about the MS, most Uchiha didn't know of it's existence in Konohagakure so how could he have known. Most likely he figured out how it was activated sometime after Itachi and Sasuke left the village for good, he might have even found the secret room of the Uchiha, remember, only those with a three tomoe Sharingan could find the hidden passage.
I think a year with Madara changes you dramatically and he only was able to do those things after his MS activated maybe there is a connection with the MS and controlling Hashirama's DNA, just a thought.
It's a story and it has to fit. It actually was the perfect way to tie up that loose end, I mean it can be explained that the shock of having to lose yet another friend, this one by his own hand no less coupled with the guilt of getting Obito killed in his mind (guilt is a powerful thing).
We've seen very little mokuton from Obito but that will obviously change now.
Anyone who dislikes this chapter because they don't understand it is both an idiot and a douche ( not talking about you LssjBroly )
In light of tomorrow's issue I think this chapter clarified a few points that we should take note of:
- Obito did not just slip 'into' Madara's underground lair. He was scouted beforehand by Madara. (Tobi-Zetsu clarifies this)
- Rin has some sort of connection with the Mist. Maybe a spy?
- Mangekyou Sharingan is augmented by Senju-DNA. Obito uses Kamui multiple times with no recoil.
- Obito's right eye allows him to make his own body intangible.. while his left eye (Kaka's eye) can warp foreign objects.
Decent chapter overall. Things are falling into place regarding those plot holes that u guys love to point out lol
I'll rate it 5 stars.
The chapter was really good. My favourite part was when Obito and Kakashi awakened MS at the same time. I wish Kakashi hadn't fainted.
The fact that Obito was able to use Kamui and Mokuton really shows how strong he is. I just keep wondering why the mist ninja want rin so bad :?
The screaming Obito thing was really strange though

I disagree with the theory that Rin is a spy, and fully support this lol.

Alright, get ready. You should be shocked!
Are those bubbles i spot around Rin or a tailed beast cloak transformation?
It does resemble the six tails.
Why did one of them say " Just when we finally managed to get our hands on it" What is "it" they are refereeing to?
Obito while rushing to the scene thought it was rain. Another thing to notice from the spoiler just above is that the battle field is tremendously smokey and that is a lot of mist ninja for just one girl .

"Rin is a spy or something" , you can't say it now but obviously that is in everybody's thought.

Good chapter. 5/5
Kakashi killed Rin to get the Mangekyo right?
Gd chapter. 4/5, disliked the part where he´s screaming like a tard, also i agree with the idea of rin being a jinchuuriki or having some kind of kekkei genkai or maybe a spy, w.e... we will get our answers in a few hours :], cant wait to see who is that guy with the leaf headband
I guess this also makes it possible that Obito could've gave the Rinnegan to Nagato. I guessed Obito was half Zetsu when he fought with Danzo but, I was always amazed at how well he adapted to using the Rinnegan.
I just don't like how Obito could see partially out of Kakashi's eye while he was killing Rin and not near..But so many times in the Naruto story where Kakashi could of maybe tried to do the same thing..Maybe it's because Obito is the dominant wielder.

LOL, he was screamin' like a tard because he just experienced the most painful thing ever. The love of his life getting killed by the person being closest to a best friend!
But, I do agree with the jinchuriki idea. It makes sense if you think about the bubbles and that the assailants are from the hidden mist. Remember Utakata? He was the jinchuriki for the sixtails that could use the power of bubbles and from the hidden mist. Perhaps, somehow, the mist got ahold of Rin after this battle and successfully transfered it to Utakata. Maybe not. 'Tis just a shot in the dark! :D
Welp. This the most convincing prediction I've read. Obito's best friend being a bijuu...classic Kishi irony

The only reason obito can use his kamui to that extent right from the get go is because of the power boost he gets from the Hashirama cells in his body, thats also why he can use wood style as well, thats why kakashi passed out and obito stayed awake, the hashirama cells gave him the ability to fully use his kamui/wood style. i cant wait tell kakashi tells obito the real reason he killed rin.. obito is going to feel really bad and ordumb for what he did after hearing the truth or he will pull a sasuke and get more butt hurt after hearing the truth and get even more emo/angry about it. sorry sasuke fans

Glory days
October 30, 2013 —
LAKE HUNTINGTON, NY — "These are the days of our lives." Those words made famous by television's timelessly popular soap opera aptly apply to the young men and women who have devoted themselves wholeheartedly to their exploits on the fields and trails this fall. These precious autumn days are waning, but the memories encoded therein will not fade, thanks to the thousands of photos taken and the stories written that will preserve these noble youthful endeavors for time immemorial. The great triumvirate of high school fall athletics, namely football, soccer and cross-country, will soon reach their respective denouement, but for now the glory days are still unfolding.
This past week's OCIAA championship was a great forerunner to the November 1 Section IX Cross-Country championships that will be run on the same course at Bear Mountain. Running against all comers from schools large and small, harriers at the OCIAA meet sought to test their mettle against the course and their own class competitors in the Section IX meet. There, the top team from each class along with the five top runners aside from those on the winning team will qualify to run in the state meet at Queensbury High School on November 9. Sullivan County had its share of great performances at the OCIAA race. Tops among county boys was Monticello's Joe Klein (16:29.74) who took 24th place. Tri-Valley junior Ian Kurzrock (16:39.40) was 28th. Teammates Hauk Boyes (17:31.24), Brenden Hasbrouck (17:45.24) and Aidan Woolsey (17:56.27) were 63rd, 70th and 78th respectively. Eldred's Kevin Maas (17:59.03) was 78th and Sullivan West's Dan Paparella (18:18.08) shattered his personal best time by 30 seconds as took 81st just ahead of T-V's Justin Weintraub (18:12:58) in 82nd and Eldred's Jake Willoughby (18:18.08) in 86th out of the field of 156 runners. Team-wise, Port Jervis took first place. T-V finished 12th, Monticello was 16th. Sullivan West was 17th, Liberty 20th, Livingston Manor 22nd and Fallsburg 23rd.

Big Mess Medicaid now a huge drain
Taxpayers' hackles ought to go up every time they hear politicians pledging some new program "won't cost us anything." For West Virginians and Ohioans who were promised the federal government would cover the entire cost of expanding Medicaid programs, it turns out that isn't exactly true.
A key to President Barack Obama's signature health care law is expansion of Medicaid programs by the states. Although officials in many states refused to go along, West Virginia and Ohio did.
Medicaid is a complex program, funded partly by the states and partly by the federal government. West Virginia's 28.65 percent share of the program costs state taxpayers about $815 million a year. In Ohio, the state-funded percentage is 37.36, costing about $6.1 billion a year.
Included in Obamacare is a mandate that states expand Medicaid eligibility. The law allows people to qualify for the program with higher incomes than in the past.
To make that more palatable to officials in the states, the federal government will pay the entire cost for newly eligible Medicaid enrollees through 2016. After that, the states' shares will be just 10 percent.
But go back and re-read the preceding paragraph. Until 2016, Medicaid costs will be covered only for enrollees who are newly eligible for the program. The cost for new enrollees who were eligible previously is not included. States have to cover the cost for them at the normal percentages.
In both West Virginia and Ohio, tens of thousands of people who have signed up for Medicaid for the first time fall into that category.
One estimate is that about 60,000 new Medicaid enrollees in Ohio fall under the old law, meaning the state will have to cover 37.36 percent of the cost of benefits.
Although we have not seen a similar estimate for West Virginia, the number of new enrollees under the old law probably exceeds 12,000. State taxpayers will have to pay 28.65 percent of their benefits.
Government spending initiatives are full of unintended consequences. The Medicaid situation – adding tens of millions of dollars to program costs for West Virginia and Ohio taxpayers – is one we doubt governors and legislators anticipated.
Now, however, we are stuck with the new drains on already strapped budgets in our states. It will be up to our governors and legislators – our taxpayers, really – to find a way out of this new mess created in Washington.

Joshua P. Lester, 21, who has been convicted of driving with his license suspended five times since March 2010, added three more convictions to that total Monday when he pleaded guilty to new misdemeanor DLS counts brought against him in August and October.
Lester also pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of violating court-ordered conditions of release.
In exchange for his guilty plea, state prosecutors dropped three other DLS charges brought against Lester this year along with another charge of violating his conditions of release.
Starting with two DLS charges brought in February, police in Brandon and Rutland brought the same charge against him twice in August and two more times in October.
According to Rutland Police, Lesters motor vehicle license was suspended indefinitely in 2009.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER A new report from a commission that studied the cost, availability and quality of... Full StoryVermont fish hatchery changes focus, looks inland

I called the nurse over there and asked her, somewhat distraught, if he was deformed. His butt had no crack and it actually came to a point! Our precious nurse tried not to laugh, and explained to me that he just didn't have any fat yet, and the point was his tailbone jutting out just for now. LOL... here I was thinking, well, he'll probably get along alright in life with a pointy butt...

The Mammogram Post-MortemPosted by Val Jones on December 10, 2009
Steve Novella whimsically opined on a recent phone call that irrationality must convey a survival advantage for humans. I'm afraid he has a point.
It's much easier to scare people than to reassure them, and we have a difficult time with objectivity in the face of a good story. In fact, our brains seem to be hard wired for bias – and we're great at drawing subtle inferences from interactions, and making our observations fit preconceived notions. A few of us try to fight that urge, and we call ourselves scientists.
Given this context of human frailty, it's rather unsurprising that the recent USPSTF mammogram guidelines resulted in a national media meltdown of epic proportions. Just for fun, and because David Gorski nudged me towards this topic, I'm going to review some of the key reasons why the drama was both predictable and preventable. (And for an excellent, and more detailed review of the science behind the kerfuffle, David's recent SBM article is required reading.)

After two weeks of road racing, we head to Bristol Motor Speedway for short track racing. "When we were at Bristol (Motor Speedway) in the spring, our Chevrolet Camaro was fast and had a top five run going, but we had a little miscommunication towards the end that shuffled us back to 10th. I know that Richard Childress Racing has a strong comprehension of Bristol and what needs to go into these Chevys to have a good run. I'm looking forward to it, I know we can run up front and contend for the win."
Will there be a difference in the track running under the lights as opposed to the day in the spring? "The sun will be set, lights will be on and the track will drive similar. Our balance will shift a little bit because of the temperature and sunlight, it'll still be a great race. The NASCAR Nationwide Series always puts on a great show for the fans."
Austin Dillon
No. 3 AdvoCare Chevrolet Camaro
This Week's AdvoCare Chevrolet at Bristol Motor Speedway ... Austin Dillon will pilot Chassis No. 116 in the Food City 250 at Bristol Motor Speedway. This season, Dillon earned a fourth-place finish in this Chevrolet at Iowa Speedway in August, a second-place finish after starting from the pole at Iowa in June and an 11th-place finish at Bristol Motor Speedway in March. In September 2012, Dillon drove this Chevrolet to sixth-place finishes at Phoenix International Raceway and Richmond International Raceway, and a 15th-place finish at Iowa Speedway in August.
Dillon at Bristol Motor Speedway ... Dillon has three Bristol Motor Speedway starts to his credit in the Nationwide Series, posting an 11th-place finish in March 2013, after incurring damage during a mid-race incident, and posting a 12th-place finish in March 2012 after he was thwarted by a NASCAR-issued penalty for exiting pit road too fast and challenged by a loose-handling condition throughout the race. He earned a career-best, fourth-place finish at the 0.533-mile short track in August 2012. The 22-year-old Nationwide Series regular has two starts at the half-mile track in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series, finishing 17th in 2010 and 23rd in 2011.
The Season So Far ... According to NASCAR's Loop Data Season-to-Date Statistics, Dillon leads the Nationwide Series in Average Starting Position (5.6), has led the second-most laps (483), ranks third in Laps in the Top-15 (89 percent), third in Average Running Position (9.515) maintains the fourth-best Driver Rating (100.2), ranks fourth in Fastest Laps Run (260) and is the fourth-Fastest Driver on Restarts (8.909).
Get to the Points ... After leading the standings for two-consecutive weeks, Dillon fell to third (tied) in the Nationwide Series driver championship standings with his 21st-place finish at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course on Saturday. He is currently 15 markers shy of Sam Hornish, Jr.'s point lead.
Raising Awareness for DRIVE4COPD ... Dillon is scheduled to help raise awareness for the COPD foundation with an appearance at the Food City store located at 1320 Euclid Ave. in Bristol, Va. from 5-6 p.m. Eastern Time on Thursday, August 22. Dillon's paternal grandfather, Stan Dillon, passed away following a battle with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary disease in May 2012, sparking Dillon to partner with the COPD foundation to encourage all Americans aged 35 or older to log onto www.drive4copd.org/screener to take a brief, five-question screener to see if they might be at risk for COPD, a serious and progressive lung disease that is the third leading cause of death of Americans. If the screener indicates risk, patients are encouraged to take the next step and speak with their healthcare professional or call the COPD Information Line (1-866-316-2673) to discuss what their score may mean. Because COPD is a progressive disease that causes irreversible lung damage, early diagnosis and disease management are critical to helping patients breathe better in the future.
Spark your Engines ... Dillon and the RCR team will sport the colors of award-winning premier health and wellness company AdvoCare on the No. 3 Chevrolet at Bristol Motor Speedway. AdvoCare offers nutrition, weight loss, energy and sports performance products of the highest quality developed through comprehensive research and backed by a Scientific and Medical Advisory Board. Dillon trains with AdvoCare products throughout the week and is a distributor as well. For more information about Dillon's favorite products, including Spark, Rehydrate, meal replacement bars and Post-Workout Recovery, visit http://www.AdvoCare.com.
AdvoCare Supporting the Childress Institute for Pediatric Trauma ... If Dillon wins this weekend's Nationwide Series race at Bristol Motor Speedway, AdvoCare will make a $5,000 donation to the Childress Institute for Pediatric Trauma. The health and wellness company will pledge $2,000 to CIPT for a top-five finish and $1,000 for a top-10 finish. So far this season, the No. 3 team has raised $20,000 towards the cause. The Childress Institute invests resources in research, education and awareness to improve the treatment for critically injured children in the U.S. and AdvoCare's generous donations are aimed at helping to raise awareness for pediatric trauma, the No. 1 killer of children in America. You can help save the lives of injured children by making a contribution to the Childress Institute in two ways: donate $33 in honor of Dillon via his website, or text WIN to 80077 to make a $10 donation.
What is the racing like at Bristol Motor Speedway? "Bristol Motor Speedway is a track where the racing has become really aggressive lately, especially with that groove at the top coming in. There will be a lot of beating and banging in the NASCAR Nationwide Series race. It's getting down to the end of the year and guys are trying to position themselves for points, so you're going to see a lot of aggressive driving at Bristol. Hopefully, we'll be one of the cars that can put ourselves out front."
How frustrating is it as a driver when it takes six, seven or even eight laps sometimes to pass someone at Bristol Motor Speedway? "It's frustrating. We dealt with it at Darlington Raceway this year. At some of these racetracks it's just tough. Bristol Motor Speedway has gotten that way. You have to be patient, which is a very key part of these races. Riding in sixth is not a bad day, because on a restart late in the race you're going to have the outside line so you might finish third or fourth. We just need to qualify well and recognize that pit stops will be key. We had a bad pit stop last time we were at Bristol Motor Speedway, so hopefully we can have a clean pit road and come out on top."
Brendan Gaughan
No. 21 South Point Hotel & Casino Chevrolet Camaro
This Week's South Point Hotel & Casino Chevrolet Camaro at Bristol Motor Speedway ... Brendan Gaughan will pilot chassis No. 089 from the Richard Childress Racing NASCAR Nationwide Series stable in the Food City 250. This RCR-prepared machine was last utilized by Gaughan and the No. 33 RCR team at Phoenix International Speedway in November 2012 when a late-race incident relegated them to a 26th-place finish.
Bristol Stats ... Since the 2009 season, Gaughan has four Nationwide Series starts to his credit at the half-mile oval. The Las Vegas native picked up his only pole award during his first appearance at the track in March of 2009. He holds a 17th-place average starting position coupled with a 23.5 average finishing position, has completed 89.2 percent (985 of 1,104) of the laps contested and is credited with 16 laps led.
South Point Hotel & Casino ... Opened in December of 2005, the South Point resort was the first megaresort located south of McCarran International Airport and the Las Vegas Strip. The facility consists of a 25 story hotel tower and 90,000 square feet convention center located on a 60 acre site along Las Vegas Boulevard in Enterprise, Nevada. South Point Hotel offers a total of 2,163 rooms and 160,000 sq. ft. meeting and convention space; the largest of any hotel in Las Vegas that is not on the Strip. For more information, visit www.southpointcasino.com or call 1-866-796-7111.
Did You Know: Las Vegas ... Did you know, more than 386 million people visited Las Vegas in 2011?
Double Duty ... In addition to driving the No. 21 South Point Hotel & Casino Chevrolet Camaro in Friday's race, Gaughan will pilot the No. 62 South Point Hotel & Casino Chevrolet Silverado in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series event on Wednesday, August 21. This race is scheduled to air live on Fox Sports 1 at 8 p.m. Eastern Time, along with the Performance Radio Network and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio, channel 90.
You're scheduled to run double duty at Bristol Motor Speedway. How do you prepare for that as a driver? "Double duty doesn't bother me. I ran double duty at Michigan (International Speedway) last week, and it wasn't a real big deal for me. At Bristol (Motor Speedway) we have a day off in between, so I don't have to worry about back-to-back races or even back-to-back practices. I'll focus on racing the truck on Wednesday and focus on racing the Nationwide Series car on Friday, so that'll make life easy for me."
What are your thoughts on running the NASCAR Nationwide Series race at Bristol Motor Speedway? "I've always done well at Bristol (Motor Speedway). I even got a pole the first time I ran in the Nationwide Series there. It's still one of my favorite places to race. I'll be working with Shane (Wilson, crew chief) and the No. 62 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series team this weekend. That makes me happy as a driver because I'll be working with guys I'm comfortable with and we have a really good chemistry going."
Ty Dillon
No. 33 WESCO Chevrolet Camaro
This Week's WESCO Chevrolet at Bristol Motor Speedway ... Ty Dillon will pilot chassis No. 112 from the Richard Childress Racing stable in Friday's NASCAR Nationwide Series event. Dillon drove this Chevrolet to an 11th-place finish at Las Vegas Motor Speedway in March, a 13th-place finish at Darlington Raceway in May and a 23rd-place finish at Dover International Speedway in June.
Bristol Details ... Friday's 250-lap affair marks Dillon's first appearance at the half-mile bullring in the Nationwide Series. At the time of the Nationwide Series race this Friday, Dillon will have made two previous starts at Bristol Motor Speedway in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series.
What is WESCO? ... WESCO International, Inc. (NYSE: WCC), a publicly traded Fortune 500 holding company headquartered in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, is a leading provider of electrical, industrial, and communications maintenance, repair and operating ("MRO") and original equipment manufacturers ("OEM") product, construction materials, and advanced supply chain management and logistic services. 2012 annual sales were approximately $6.6 billion. The Company employs approximately 8,900 people, maintains relationships with over 18,000 suppliers, and serves over 65,000 active customers worldwide.

WESCO operates eight fully automated distribution centers and approximately 475 full-service branches in North America and international markets, providing a local presence for customers and a global network to serve multi-location businesses and multi-national corporations.
Double Dose of Dillon ... The 21-year-old driver will participate in his second double-duty weekend of the 2013 season. Aside from his racing duties with the No. 33 WESCO team, he'll pilot his full-time Camping World Truck Series entry in Wednesday night's 200-lap event in the No. 3 Bass Pro Shops Chevrolet. Fox Sports 1 will provide live coverage of the event beginning at 8 p.m. Eastern Time. The live broadcast can also be heard on the Performance Racing Network and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio, channel 90.
Nationwide in 2013 ... After this weekend's Nationwide Series event at Bristol Motor Speedway, Dillon is slated for three additional races in the No. 33 Chevrolet for the 2013 season. He is scheduled to take the green flag at Richmond International Raceway in September, Texas Motor Speedway in November and the season-finale event at Homestead-Miami Speedway.
This weekend marks your first NASCAR Nationwide Series event at Bristol Motor Speedway. What are your expectations for the race? "I'm excited to be back behind the wheel of the No. 33 WESCO Chevrolet this weekend at Bristol (Motor Speedway). I've had a few weeks off from the Nationwide Series, but I'm eager to return. It's going to be a big help to have the extra seat time at the track from running the Truck Series race. I think it'll help my performance on Friday night."

June 12, 2013 —
SULLIVAN COUNTY, NY — And so another school year draws to an end, consigning a panoply of milestones into the annals of history. Final epic events like the NYSPHSAA Track and Field Championships held on June 8, after a June 7 opening day postponement, signify the coda to 2012-13 scholastic athletics. That leaves only the New Balance track and field Nationals this coming weekend in Greensboro, NC for a few local elites to give their curtain call on stellar high school careers.
Before citing the litany of final performances at the state track meet and lauding the local golfers who went to states, the most notable honors of this narrative go to Tri-Valley coaching icons Joe and Missy Iatauro, whose careers of 39 and 34 years respectively conclude now with their retirement. Joe coached 117 consecutive seasons. The dynamic duo has mentored legions of young men and women, amassing more than 200 championships in cross-country, indoor and spring track. After many fond words of praise from T-V athletes and coaches at the spring sports awards on June 5, Team Iatauro, as the couple is fondly known, were honored at a dinner at The Sullivan on June 9, attended by over 230 people. Family, friends, former and current athletes, track officials, colleagues, former school officials and this writer extolled the couple for their tireless, remarkable commitment. Stories and photos drew smiles and tears. It was indeed a night to remember.
One day prior at the state meet, the I's were busy coaching three of their athletes. Senior Aric Boyes took second in the Division II shot put with a lifetime best throw of 51-08.25. Mareena DiMilia finished sixth in the shot put with a mark of 35-06.25, while teammate Katlynn Greffrath was 13th in the high jump with a mark of 4-8. Fallsburg's Candhace Forrest was second in the Division II 100 in 12:39. She finished eighth in the Federation 100 against the top runners from schools large and small, including those from NYSPHSAA, New York City's Public School Athletic League (PSAL), The Catholic High School Athletic League (CHSAA) and the Independent Schools (AISAA). Sullivan West's Reed Scott was eighth in Division II in the 3200 with a time of 9:42.32. Monticello's 4x100 relay team, which had the number one seed time coming in among public high school teams in the state, did not finish, as the baton was dropped between the second and third legs of the race. The most notable local performance was the Division II and Federation pole vault victory of Ellenville's Justin Farrenkopf, who cleared 15 feet. He exited with a valiant attempt at 15-10.
At the girls golf state meet held at SUNY Delhi on June 7-8, Fallsburg sophomore Madison Levine (95-95-190) was 60th while junior Danielle Stratton (93-110-203) tied for 70th. One week prior in the boys golf state meet held at Cornell, Sullivan West's Drew Billard (86-84-170) tied for 59th.
At Monticello's Senior Night celebration, Shane Jackson and Haley Heins were this year's recipients of the coveted Mayor's Cup. Shane Jackson scored 57 touchdowns in his football career, lead the indoor track team to the Sullivan County championship this year, Shane was also a part of the boys outdoor track and field team's Division III track championship this year, and has set or tied four school records during his outdoor track and career as well as being a part of several scholar athlete teams. Haley Heins was the Section 9 Alpine Ski female champion the past two years, leading her team to Division and Sectional championships during her ski career. Haley also was a sectional qualifier for girls golf as well as a member of several scholar athlete teams.

Cloudy With a Chance of Sunshine
San Diego got a few hours on sunshine yesterday, the first since Wednesday, but the sky quickly clouded over again.
Same thing happened with the Padres.
From the very beginning of the game, you could tell it was going to be a long one. Kevin Correia struggled, only throwing 4.1 innings while giving up four runs on 10 hits. He stuck out five but only walked one. He was just not on his game. That or the Phillies were really on their game. I can never figure that out. I think this time it was a combination of both.
The bullpen was fairly solid. Meredith, Thatcher, Gregerson and Burke pitched. Gregerson ran into a little trouble, giving the Phillies an insurance run.
The offense was OK. We had six hits. Adrian hit his major-league leading 21st home run. Scott Hairston hit his eighth. Adrian is on track to hit 65 this year! There's not possible way he could do that at Petco, but that's what he's on track to hit! Wow.
The ninth was the worst part of the game. The score was 5-3 Phillies going into the bottom of the inning. As we've found out lately, these Padres don't give up. They're fighting back, picking away, and they just won't go down easily.
Adrian walked to start the inning. Scott Hairston flew out, just missing it.
Then Brian Giles came to the plate. With a count of 1-0, a pitch got away from the catcher. Adrian, who is not the fleetest of foot, went for second. He slid in, the throw came in, and the umpire called him out. The look on Adrian's face was just heartbreaking. Oh man. I have never seen him look like that. It could have been interepreted as "Do you know who I am? You just called the home run leader out!" But he was really thinking, "My team needs this run. How could you call me out and ruin our chances for winning??"
This picture doesn't fully show the look on Adrian's face, but if you want to see it, watch the video .
Buddy came out to argue, and as the guys on the radio watched the replay, they realized that Adrian was slightly pushed off the bag by Jimmy Rollins and the umpire didn't see it and thus was in no position to call it. Absolutely terrible. That was an essential run we needed on the bases, especially with only one out. I just put my head in my hands, like I'm sure many Padres fans did. I knew we were done. Sure enough, Brian popped out and that was it.
We lost pretty miserably. It was a long, long loss. Just terrible. This was one of those games you just want to forget.
Hopefully Jake will be able to help us erase those memories as he starts the second game against the Phillies tonight. Jake will be our sunshine after these dark cloudy days. I will probably miss the beginning of the game since I'll be at my brother's baseball game, but that's OK. Maybe my boys can score some runs for Jake without me! Haha.
Oh, the dude who is pitching for the Phillies is going to be making his major league debut. How 'bout we, uh, welcome him to the big leagues, boys?

Good luck to your brother's team tonight! And is it just me, or does it seem like there have been a large number of bad calls made by umps so far this season? I hope it will be a sunny "day" for your guys!
Up here in Santa Barbara we haven't seen the sun for, like, a month. Thick marine layer every single day and it doesn't burn off. But I can't complain, because it keeps the wildfires away. Enjoy your brother's game!
Julia, you are right. The calls by the umps have been outrageous this season. Andre Ethier was hit by a pitch. The ball hit his foot. In fact the ball cracked his big toenail. The umpire did not even call it and it was very obvious. I happened to be sitting in the dugout section that day so I had a perfect view. During the Mets game where they had 5 errors, the third base umpire was slow in calling the fact that Church did not touch third base until Mark Loretta pointed it out. It's no wonder that the players get so upset.
Kaybee, your Padres are playing great baseball. Dodgers, watch out.
Stupid umpire. What a depressing game! I totally wanted a win yesterday. We need to get back on .500 right now! Jake is up so I'm pretty confident we are going to win.
How about those Hairston brothers? Jerry is doing well for the Reds too.Russhttp://wight4256.mlblogs.com
Adrian Gonzalez's face when he was called out looked so sad!! I'm with Julia that umpires seem to be making all kinds of ridiculous calls that are like, "WHAT?!?! How can you call that a strike?!" or "How can you call him safe?!" All kinds of ridiculous stuff going on.

Women... can't live without 'em
Mary Grace Yanashot does the opposite. "Most of what I do is an experiment," Yanashot told me while explaining how her collages are created. "I paint large canvasses of paper and survey the whole, before selecting the parts that speak to me in one form or another." The finished products often complement one another, even though they may have been "completed at different times, often separated by months, or years." Equally fascinating and wildly different in their approach, each of these women have a unique perspective and it's clear that the "Feminist Art Movement" gave birth to an explosion of talent that (IMHO) continues to flourish and influence the world exponentially, or as my online dictionary defines aphorism: "A pithy observation that contains a general truth." Not only do women outnumber men, but their influence on the art world has become a driving force in the art world as well. If you listen closely, one can almost hear them roar.

As the College celebrated 150 years, it was a moment to reflect upon and celebrate all that has been accomplished since 1861—during times of prosperity and challenge. During 2012, the momentum builds with new these additions to campus, which will help position the College for the next 50 years.
Hammersmith House
A stately Italianate-style home adjoining Jefferson Plaza has been the home of North Central alumni for decades. Known as the "Hammersmith House" and still home to Ruth Hammersmith '38, the property has officially become part of the College.
"This property represents the final campus addition in that block," says Paul Loscheider, vice president for business affairs. "We're grateful to the Hammersmith sisters and happy that Ruth continues to live in her childhood home."
The exact date of the home's construction isn't certain but the presence of a home and carriage house/garage in 1881 can be confirmed in historic records. The house was purchased in 1902 by Herman Hammerschmidt (family members later changed the spelling of their name) , immigrant grandfather of Ruth Hammersmith, from Sarah and Frank Rathbun for $3,000.
Ruth and her late sisters Marguerite "Peg " '37 and Mabel '41 first lived in Hinsdale but their mother died when the girls were very young. Their father Carl moved the family to Naperville so the girls could be raised by their aunts. Carl owned a business in Chicago that printed yearbooks and he was an avid outdoorsman.
The girls grew up in the shadow of North Central and all three became alumnae. After graduation, Ruth lived and taught in Missouri before moving back to Naperville. She has lived in the house ever since and at age 95 continues to enjoy the life of the College. During the warm weather months, she likes sitting on her patio, which gives her a front-row seat to the activities that take place on the lot adjacent to Seager Hall and Student Village.
"The students are so busy walking back and forth," she says. "And I love watching the young people who are here in the summer (from the Junior/Senior Scholars program)."
The charm of the property has been enhanced by the College's efforts to improve the landscaping, walkways and condition of the exterior. The lovely home, with high ceilings, extensive wood and beautiful windows, will most likely be referred to as the Hammersmith House for years to come and represents the legacy of a family of sisters who literally grew up on campus.
South of Benedetti-Wehrli Stadium and along the West Branch of DuPage River are properties that adjoin Highlands Elementary School. The College has acquired 524 Riverview Drive, a 2.5 acre property and ranch home that faces the river toward the west. The home is in severe disrepair and uninhabitable.
"This was an opportunity to take over a property that was fast becoming an eye sore given its condition," says Loscheider. "The home as it is cannot be restored at a reasonable cost."
The College currently has no plans for the property but one possible option in the long-term could be using the site for a residence hall.
With the addition of the Riverview property and the Hammersmith House, the College campus acreage totals 61.5 acres.
520 S. Washington Condominium
An elegant third-floor condominium that overlooks the DuPage River and Benedetti-Wehrli Stadium from the west has become the property of North Central, thanks to a generous gift from Dick and Deanna Mandel of Naperville. The couple in 2010 also donated a wooded 43-acre parcel and log home near Dixon, IL, which has become popular for College retreats and meetings.
"We're thankful for the gift of this condominium and the opportunity to own a residence that could offer the College additional options for housing a new dean, a president or other College leaders," said Loscheider. "We're excited to have new options for the College without affecting the character of the Historic District."

On this day (April 15) in 1865, President Abraham Lincoln died some nine hours after being shot by Confederate sympathizer but mentally unstable actor John Wilkes Booth while watching the play "Our American Cousin" at Ford's Theater in Washington.
This became the first of four "successful" assassinations of an American president – the others being James A. Garfield in 1881, William McKinley in 1901, and John F. Kennedy in 1963. There have 11 known unsuccessful assassination attempts on U.S. presidents.
Early in the day of the fatal shooting (Good Friday, April 14 – the fourth anniversary of the surrender of Fort Sumter), it had been widely announced in the press that the president and his wife, Mary, would be attending the play and invited Union Gen. Ulysses S. Grant and his wife, Julia, to accompany them to the evening performance at Ford's Theater.
But when the Grants, claiming they had to visit their children, declined the invitation, the Lincolns invited Miss Clara Harris and her fiancé, Maj. Henry Rathbone, who graciously accepted.
The presidential party arrived at the theater around 8:30 p.m., a little after the play had started. When the presidential party was spied entering its balcony box, the play was interrupted and the orchestra played "Hail to the Chief" as the audience clapped and cheered. Thereupon, Lincoln stepped to the box rail to acknowledge the applause.
Upon resumption of the show, the president and his wife were seen to be listening intently to the play's satirical dialogue about an American hayseed traveling in England. At 10:10 p.m., Booth, who was well known by the theater stage hands, was allowed in, where he presented his business card to Lincoln's footman (bodyguard?) Charles Forbes, who let the actor into the box's anteroom.
At 10:15 p.m., Booth entered the box and shot Lincoln behind the left ear, smashing the bones behind both eyes.
One lady in the audience was later reported to have said: "It was while every one's attention was fastened upon the stage that a pistol shot was heard, causing every one to jump and look up at the president's box merely because that was the direction of the sound, and supposing it to be a part of the performance, we all looked again upon the stage, when a man suddenly vaulted over the railing of the box, turned back and then leaped to the stage, striking on his heels and falling backward, but recovered himself in an instant and started across the stage to behind the scene," shouting "Sic semper tyrannis" ("thus always to tyrants").
A doctor in the audience (Dr. Charles Leale) hurried up to the presidential box to find Lincoln unconscious.
"He appeared dead, "the doctor observed. "His eyes were closed, and his head fallen forward."
Amid the confusion and bedlam at the theater, Lincoln's body was carried across Tenth Street to the modest home of German tailor William Peterson, where it was placed in a small rear bedroom. By 11 p.m., Secretary of War Edwin Stanton, Secretary of the Navy Gideon Welles, and several doctors arrived to assess Lincoln's condition.
Welles later reported that he found that Lincoln's "features were calm and striking. I had never seen them appear to better advantage than for the first hour. ... After that, his right eye began to swell and that part of his face became discolored."
Stanton, for his part, immediately took charge, sending out orders and interviewing eyewitnesses to the shooting. Early the next morning (April 15), the hysterical Mary Lincoln was allowed in to see her dying husband.
"Love," she is reported to have said, "live but one moment to speak to me once."
At 7:22 a.m., Lincoln died, without ever having gained consciousness, whereupon Stanton was heard to famously remark, "Now he belongs to the ages."

It's time to play guess this year's Cover Boy
Next week I'll be heading up to an NFL minicamp to interview this year's Cover Boy for FantasyGuru.com Magazine, our 6th edition. This year's pick is an interesting one on a few levels, and the thought process really goes back to why we started doing player interviews in the first place (BTW, we were the first fantasy magazine to ever feature a player interview, now they seemingly all do). That's one hint right there. Basically, I see no reason to interview Peyton Manning, since we all know about him and since we all think he's great.
I don't think fantasy players know much about this year's guy, yet he'll be a high pick in fantasy this year. That's exactly why I really wanted to get him, and he has agreed to the interview (something his team's PR people didn't think he would do).
So let's hear your guesses on this year's subject.
