Yet, his years in MLB haven't all been smooth sailing for the 28-year-old. A veteran of multiple injuries, including nagging hamstring problems and the rarity of being a position player to have undergone (in 2005) and returned from "Tommy John" elbow ligament replacement procedure, Izturis has clearly dealt with his share of adversity.
After playing in 158 and 159 games in the 2003 and 2004 seasons respectively, injuries caused the switch-hitter's career momentum to unravel. Izturis averaged just 90 games played yearly over the three most recent seasons - 2005 through 2007.
The Venezuelan native has also changed baseball addresses multiple times, moving from Toronto to Los Angeles (in 2002) to Chicago (in 2006) to Pittsburgh (in 2007) to St. Louis (in 2008).
Coming off a difficult season during which he played only sporadically and didn't deliver offensively, Izturis was a surprise signing, accepting a contract offer from then-new Cardinals general manager John Mozeliak last November 30. If all plate appearance incentives are reached, the one-year deal would max out at $3.5 million, an approximate 20% decrease from his 2007 salary.
That move signaled the departure of the popular incumbent shortstop David Eckstein, but the greatest noise seemed to be over the addition of Izturis. There was considerable fan sentiment was against the signing, with some of the most boisterous asserting that skinflint ownership was essentially waving the white flag in the process.
Others felt Mozeliak simply panicked, signing the first shortstop he could find when it became clear Eckstein would not be back. The primary alternative for the 2008 Cardinals pushed by the second-guessers back in December when the non-tenders became known was ex-Houston Astros and now-injured Minnesota Twins shortstop Adam Everett.
The reality is the two are quite comparable – coming into this season, at least. Considered an above-average defensive shortstop like Izturis, Everett entered 2008 with a lower career batting average of .248 and a slightly-higher OBP of .299 vs. Izturis at .259 and .295, respectively. Everett also signed with Minnesota for 2008 at the same base amount as Cesar, $2.8 million, though incentives are not included.
Even though Izturis committed his third error of the season on Wednesday night, Everett still leads him in regular-season miscues with four.
St. Louis' 2008 infield defense is generally considered one of the strengths of the club, with Izturis at or very near the head of the line, whether using sabermetric or more traditional measures of defensive prowess. That is light years away from where the new Cardinal found himself in spring training.
Izturis struggled mightily at times on the fields of Florida in March, committing seven errors in 20 games, most of any NL shortstop. In other words, he was on a pace to make 57 miscues during the regular season. That would rank in the top ten of most error-plagued years by an MLB shortstop since 1920.
Yet, as spring training neared its end, Izturis had begun to play better defensively and carried that into the regular season.
Unlike Izturis, Everett is not delivering with the bat this regular season, having posted an anemic .189 batting average and an on-base mark of just .235 prior to going onto the disabled list this week with a shoulder injury. I suspect The Cardinal Nation is now glad Everett will be spending his summer swatting mosquitoes up in the Land of 10,000 Lakes.
Truth be known, Izturis began slowly offensively, too. As recently as April 26, the shortstop was actually hitting under Everett's current .189 mark. In his defense, Cesar had suffered a forearm injury earlier that week, yet the hits had been few and far between ever since coming north from Jupiter, Florida.
Come May, everything changed. There was no need for any explanations or excuses. Izturis caught fire offensively. His batting mark for the month is .313 with an OBP of .375.
Hitting in the ninth spot in Manager Tony La Russa's order most games, Cesar's totals for the season overall are .265 and .362. The latter on-base mark is 32 points higher than Izturis' top season to-date.
As another point of comparison, former Cardinals shortstop Eckstein has struggled with injury in Toronto this season, but when in there, his 2008 batting average is .256 with an OBP of .328.
Since having become a major leaguer in 2001, Izturis' strongest month with the bat has traditionally been May, during which he has hit .284 with an on-base mark of .330. Both represent his tops for any calendar period and are certainly respectable.
Now with two months of solid play from their new shortstop in the books, some Cardinals fans are suggesting Mozeliak should re-sign Izturis for 2009 and perhaps beyond. Such a view represents quite a turnaround in the court of public opinion for a player that some didn't even want to make the team.
Time will tell if his best days are ahead of him or not, but at this point of the season, Cesar Izturis has no need to apologize to anyone for his contributions to the equally-surprising and enjoyable 2008 St. Louis Cardinals.

Do I buy? Help me quick!!!!
Here's the deal. Looking to purchase an '87 Allante, silver with maroon interior. Drove the car today. Runs strong, transmission shifts smooth and strong. Motor mounts good. Brakes work good but seem hard to push as short distance of easy. Hard braking does no pull. Drives straight with no hand on the wheel.
Listed for $2,500.
Pros: Body very straight. Soft top and Hard top. Hard top NEVER been on the car so is in impecable condition with some scratches on side of roof from something in storage rubbing against it. Runs strong. Trunk carpet and coverings complete and intact. Passenger seat in great condition. All lenses and chrome in place including grill. No sounds from CV joints. Oil clean and doesn't smell burnt. All electronics appear to work fine including diagnostic system. (didn't test the windows.) Decent tires on original rims.
Cons: Exhaust leak between motor and firewall (is this common?). Oil leak next to filter, actually drips. Power steering leak close o pump.. could be hose. Brakes seem to stiff (but could be characteristic). Only turning left.. seems to stick a bit then free up (associated with leak? I don't think so). Driver's seat trashed from overweight driver (Might be able to recover). Center consol around shifter busted (driver shoving getting in and out). Center visor holder and lamps busted and unrepairable. Visors do not stay up by themselves. Small cigarrette burn hole in top of soft top. Rear glass in soft top completely free at top of glass. Heater no blow hot (engine does warm up). AC no blow cold (says low freon). 145,000 miles.
Went with intention of pay $2k for car but after looking and driving I was only comfortable with $1,500... but sale is for absent party so I left with out making the deal. Don't know if $1,500 is acceptable or not.
Want to buy for 16yo's daughters first car. Don't want to pay $1,500 and quickly over run value of car in repairs. I estimate it to be worth about $5,000 with all items fixed. I can do work myself although if exhaust leak requires manifold removal I don't know what that entales.
Is it worth it? Any comments appreciated. I am looking to make decision tomorrow or Thursday!

Re: Do I buy? Help me quick!!!!
My advice is that this is not the car for a 16 year old. It is a car that you should collect as parts are difficult to find and get. The price is ok if the mileage is good that is not the issue nor is any of the stuff you listed. However as I said before this is not the kind of car you give to someone so young to drive everyday.

Re: Do I buy? Help me quick!!!!
Agreed. The price is right as a fix-up driver, but not for a young driver. A young driver needs a reliable, mid-size 4 door with good visibility all around.

Re: Do I buy? Help me quick!!!!
i agree, i wouldnt get this for a 16 yr old unless you know for a FACT that
1) she will take VERY good care of it
2) She will tell you IMMEDIATELY when she gets any warning lights or symptoms.
MOST 16 year olds do not fall into that category, this goes for males and females.
The brake issue, if it IS an issue, can be deadly. If the ABS system fails, its not like on most cars where you just press harder to brake than normal. The brakes will fully cease to work, period.
visors are a common issue.
windows are also a common issue, you should definitely check those, i see window switches go for 300+ easily.
no heat is common but if the heater core isnt leaking, then its usually an easy fix (backflush the heater core)
center consoles are expensive
i wouldnt do it if i wasnt comfortable with the brakes
Re: Do I buy? Help me quick!!!!
I'd say no to an allante for a 16 year old. those cars are (IMO) needy, and repairs would be pretty expensive for a 16 year old. dont get me wrong, the allante is a great car, just it (like most fancy modern high end luxury cars) gets expensive if its used for a daily driver and will need constant attention.
If you are set on getting a caddy for your 16 year old, I'd recommend the 86- 92 fleetwood brougham, early 80's 307 olds V8 powered eldorado, and the 4500 and 4900 powered devilles, sevilles, and eldorados from the late 80's/ early 90's. they are all pretty nice build quality, are fairly cheap to buy and maintain (especially the rwd ones) and the cadillac ride quality cannot be beat.

Re: Do I buy? Help me quick!!!!
I purchased an '87 two months with 128K miles and in a little better shape than the one you describe. I paid $2,700 and I now have $5,900 in it. And I did most of the work myself (AC Compressor, rear struts, Drivers Seat bottom replaced, new rear brake pads, new water pump, new power steering pump, etc.). The owner let his son drive it for the last year or so and kinda let it go to hell. I have to say that it is pretty much complete and very dependable now. But it also came with a brand new soft top (already installed) and was recently repainted. This car was also maintained by Allante' Source in West Palm Beach because the owner lived there. So the guys there knew the car well. The car also came with all of the receipts and maintenance records for the last 10 years, so I felt pretty comfortable about the purchase. I wouldn't recommend this type of vehicle for a young driver either. You really need an experienced eye and ear to make sure that if a problem starts, you can recognize it and take care of it quickly.
Re: Do I buy? Help me quick!!!!
Definitely not a car for a kid! Seems like the best part of this deal is the hardtop. One could sell it for a decent chunk of change, if so inclined. Even so, with all the deficits noted, you would be looking at throwing more than a few bucks into this ride. The needed parts are not widely available, and not cheap.
Take a pass!

Re: Do I buy? Help me quick!!!!
Re: Do I buy? Help me quick!!!!
I don't think an Allante would be a bad car for a 16 year old, if she is mature enough to handle it. Seriously, if the BRAKE light somes on, run away unless you want to lose some serious money!
The 4.1 is gutless enough she won't be winning and drag races at the stop light. I don't think visibility is an issue.
But, you'll have to bear in mind that expenses can quickly add up. The brake system is an expensive fix if anything goes wrong - I doubt a high schooler could afford the repair even with a well-paying part time job. We're talking THOUSANDS, not hundreds, of dollars. And if you're buying the car for her, I'm assuming you'll be picking up any repairs.
Personally, I wouldn't do it, but that's beside the point. I'd seriously opt for a '89-'93 Deville - especially with the 4.9, which is basically bulletproof if well-maintainted.

Friday News Roundup: 3 powerful arguments for permanent supportive housing
May 28, 2010
Start your Memorial Day weekend by reading "Honoring our veterans can begin with housing." Here, the Corporation for Supportive Housing's Deborah De Santis not only reminds us how important it is to end homelessness among veterans, but she also reminds us that we know how to do it:
The Department of Veterans Affairs and the Congressional Committees that authorize its programs should immediately consider how they can better utilize Housing First to move chronically homeless veterans off the streets, out of the shelters and into permanent supportive housing…
Creating permanent supportive housing for veterans, utilizing Housing First and other models, is not only the smart thing to do, it's the right thing to do.
For more on veterans' homeless, listen to Housing our vets on Where we live.
Speaking of permanent supportive housing, check out "Shelter's the fool's gold in the pursuit to end homelessness", a piece in Street Roots by Heather Lyons. In response to the announcement that Portland is planning to open a 100-bed shelter, she makes a pretty airtight argument for housing over shelter:
I just read that the city is providing 100 new shelter beds for individuals as part of "a campaign to strategically reduce the number of homeless people in Portland." That's like opening two new emergency departments because cancer is on the rise. Like emergency departments, shelters serve a very important purpose, but they do not end homelessness for very many people, unless they are connected to various types of housing and services.
I guarantee that opening new shelter beds will not reduce homelessness.
Individual stories are perhaps the most powerful argument for permanent housing. Rich and Elizabeth Lombino shared Gina's story on Change.org's End Homelessness blog this week. After struggling with incarceration and addiction, Gina finally had her own home for the first time at age 57:
After a few more months of apartment searching and jumping through some administrative hoops, the day finally came for Gina to move in. The next day, she came to see Elizabeth. Through tears in her eyes, Gina spoke of the pure joy she felt at having her own apartment. She felt truly free and alive. She had accomplished a dream that she never thought would come true for her. She spoke at length about the incredible feeling of having her own key and a door to open with it. She said, "I always hoped I would have my own key to my own home. Now I have it. Putting that key in the door of my apartment is the best feeling."
Happy long weekend, everyone! Take a minute and call Congress in support of HR 4123, the "extenders bill," which will capitalize the National Housing Trust Fund.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. --The Tennessee trio of Karen Weekly, Raven Chavanne and Lauren Gibson will look to help the USA Softball Women's National Team win its first gold medal of the summer as the Red, White and Blue competes in the Mayor's Cup and the ISF Women's World Championship/Pan American Games qualifier from Aug. 6-18 in San Juan, Puerto Rico.
Weekly joins Team USA as an assistant coach this week after serving in the same role last summer. Chavanne and Gibson have shined for the U.S. this summer in the World Cup of Softball VIII (July 11-14) and the Canadian Open Fastpitch International Championship (July 16-22). The team took silver in the World Cup and bronze in the Canadian Open.
In 12 appearances, Chavanne is hitting .405 (15-for-37) with one double, two RBIs, 10 runs and six stolen bases. Gibson has played in 11 games and has provided much of the power hitting for the Stars and Stripes, hitting .400 (14-for-35) with four homers, nine RBIs, three doubles and 11 runs.
Weekly will work with the hitters. Team USA's offense has been strong this summer, hitting .327 and averaging 5.5 runs over 13 games.
Stay tuned to UTSports.com and TeamUSA.org for updates on the team's performance in Puerto Rico this month.

Marketers are always trying to think of new ways to delight consumers. After all, not only do companies want their customers to buy their products or service, but they hope that these customers are doing so with enthusiasm. The best kinds of customers are the ones who are excited about a brand, especially because they are likely to spread the word to friends and family. Marketing experts can play a key role in elevating people with purchasing power from mere shoppers to true fans.
Of course, the real question is how can this be achieved? What does it really take to drive meaningful engagement in any organization's client base? One way brands today can do this is by providing innovative and customized member discounts through their loyalty programs.
Making customers feel special
Clients might know that they aren't a company's only customer, but that doesn't mean they have to feel like one among many. While it's easy for businesses to offer a more standardized loyalty rewards system, it's always possible to tailor offerings to what a particular audience might want. HBS Working Knowledge noted that a personal touch to customer care is of the utmost importance in today's competitive business environment. Professor José Alvarez told the source that many retailers focus too heavily on what's right for them instead of what might delight the customer, and consumers can sense these attitudes. If companies view their relationships with patrons as partnerships instead of business transactions, they can get ahead. Engagement is key.
"This is the one place where retailers will have an advantage – the experience with the customer," Alvarez told the news provider. "It won't be price, selection, or convenience. The only thing that will matter is how a retailer can better understand and best serve the needs of the customer. This includes understanding the intentions of the customer."
However, while retailers can certainly benefit from using surprise and delight strategies, all types of marketers can apply these programs to their industries. One hotel chain that is leveraging these strategies effectively to elevate customer loyalty is Kimpton Hotels & Resorts, according to Loyalty 360. Maggie Lang, senior director of loyalty and relationship marketing at Kimpton, recalled a time when a woman called the hotel's customer service desk to arrange a stay and revealed that she was visiting due to some cancer treatments she was receiving. During the call, she mentioned that going on a whale watch was on her bucket list. Many hotels wouldn't have used this information to put together a special surprise, but Kimpton saw the opportunity to show how much it values each individual customer's desires. When the woman entered her room, she found a plush whale on the bed, which she subsequently took with her when she went for surgery.
"The woman was comforted by the fact that the company cared to take the time to listen," Lang explained. "As a service company, when someone has a bad experience it really upsets us. Customer feedback really matters in making the experience better. What customers really want is for you to really listen."
Unexpected acts of kindness and appreciation go a long way toward building long-lasting relationships with customers, and with the right marketing solutions, any organization can deploy its own highly customizable surprise and delight initiatives. This can take a company to the next level.
When clients receive added value through such special touches, they are sure to remember the brand and spread the word about their positive experiences. Customer loyalty is about much more than simply providing redeemable benefits: It also depends on the emotional ties that develop when clients are shown they are truly valued and understood.

TFF: Wear your guns to church day??? :confused:
Pastor Organizes Gun Celebration at Church - ABC News
Just another person who calls themselves a "man of god", yet has no clue what that actually means. What is it about religion that breeds stupid?
This dude is a quack.
So, this county would be here without a deep-seeded belief in God and the founding fathers most likely HOPED that we wouldn't have such a deep-seeded belief, but rather a more tolerant belief in other's rights to believe what they want.
The gun part however, well that's just obvious. America likes guns.
I think I saw a few violations against the commandments in that:
Thou shall not kill
Thou shall not make wrongful use of the name of your God
It's also strange that this pastor makes references to the 1st and 2nd Ammendments but correct me if I'm wrong but isn't there is a seperation between church and state?
It's things like this that make me glad I'm a catholic not a christian.
and also, religion is largely interpretative. hell, no scripture was ever written in modern english! so 'wrongful use' is highly subjective.
is there a commandment stating 'thou shall not defend thyself'?
Killing is implied with responsible gun ownership.
Bible touters don't believe interpetation of the bible, it is the word of God, not man.
Self defense doesn't have to involve a gun( but it does help)
The world has had more that it's fair share of problems when church interferes with state. Hell, most of the Republican party wouldn't have a leg to stand on if it wasn't for the moral whip of the bible belt. Go ask Bush if he believes in dinosaurs or Adam and Eve. Or abortion, stem cell research, gay rights( think Cheney hahahah), enviornmental issues etc. Then ask him if the bible tells him to believe that.
Still stand by my hyprocritical, guilt ridden Roman Catholics. Just like the Irish.
so your criticism implies that gun ownership is a negative thing, due to the sin it could easily create?
however, the reality of modern day life is that many people perceive a 'need' to possess this 'tool of imminent death', despite the risk that sins could come from it.
it could be said that in order to reduce this risk, the nut job pastor in this story is exploiting the influence he has over his congregation (afterall why would anyone attend his church if they weren't prepared to listen to his words?) to ensure that none of them hazard down a path of murder and sinful destruction.
as whacky as this guy might seem on the surface... is it not merely an act of proactive realism attempting to address a 'potential' problem within most of the households?
could you ever imagine a time when a catholic church promoted a counselling service for abused choir boys or similar such things that gave support by bringing the issue out into the open?
Not implying anything like that since I,like a few here, am a responsible gun owner. What I'm taking about is this pastor involving something that does not belong in church considering how influental the church is and how strongly it goes against abortion and homosexuality. Nutballs don't need anymore excuses to take up the cross for their moral crusade and now that a pastor brings gun into the church, that's just another tool for the holy army against the forces that tempt.
if such a place was gun toting and its pastor perceived a benefit to his congregation from implementing an initiative to promote 'responsible gun ownership', then so what?
we can consider the dubious motives behind homo-phobia (aka 'man shall not lie with man') or the opposition to abortion (aka the murder of unborn innocents) but the packing heat to say weekly prayers seems nothing, when compared to the myriad number of 'holy wars' once fought and still being fought, or that guns can be carried in some places selling booze!
storm in a tea cup keeps coming to mind, in a story which is of little to no consequence. i would be surprised if this were the first occurence of this to be honest.

Kazakhstan (MNN) — Religious freedom in Kazakhstan is in question as a new law is in parliament, pending discussion and decision in the next few weeks.
Bible Mission International's Beate [Bay-AH-tah] Peters, translating for Frants Tissen [Franz TEE-son], says the legislation would greatly affect Christians, and missions work would be hit hard.
Peters says, "I think first of all it will be more complicated for foreign missionaries to come to our country. They will be under strict control and their activities will be limited."
Christians would also not have as much freedom. All written, audio and video Christian literature would be screened before distribution and people would have to register their church attendance.
Current laws in Kazakhstan guarantee religious freedom, but not all parts of the country abide by it, says Peters. Bible Mission asks Christians to join them in prayer.
"Well, we are just entrusting the whole situation into the hands of the Lord. He knows better how to lead His church. We will pray that the Lord would somehow stop that law to be passed, but if He allows for that law to be passed, we pray to Him to give us wisdom to act in the right way in these new conditions."
Bible Mission workers are concerned about the situation there in Kazakhstan. They ask for more people to become prayer partners with them in ministry. They believe that nothing will stop the work of God, and nothing will happen outside of His will. God will continue working in the hearts and lives of people in Kazakhstan, and they need the prayers of other Christians to support them at this time.

Steamboat Springs The fun almost ended quickly for Reed Wipperfurth and Kane Park.
The Steamboat Springs Middle School sixth-graders' hot air balloon soared high in the air in the direction of the school and appeared to touch down on the roof. But it didn't.
"It landed right in front of the school," Reed said, his excitement obvious with about an hour to continue sending their tissue-paper balloon skyward. "It's fun to see how high they go."
They were participating in a project to demonstrate the science of convection: how hot air rises, science teacher Rebecca Beacham-Fulk said. She said the nearly 170 sixth-graders worked for a week to craft their hot air balloons in preparation to fly them.
Beacham-Fulk said the project, in its eighth year, always is one of the students' favorites.
"It's just integrating science with a hands-on activity," she said. "They love anything hands-on."
The annual balloon release takes place on the school's football field, but Monday's snowy weather kept the students confined to the parking lot.
Teachers and parent volunteers monitored four grills, which had sheet metal cones on top of them to funnel the hot air into the balloons. After the balloons were filled with air, they took off, and their creators chased after them.
The balloon created by Cole Gibbs and Anna Skubiz flew almost to the entrance of Strawberry Park Elementary School.
"It's awesome," Cole said. "It went so high."
Anna said their balloon almost landed on a car.
"It almost went across the parking lot," she said. "It went very far. I'm really proud of it."
The students, in groups of two, glued together variations of colored tissue paper. Many named their hot air balloons.
Jenna Kramer and Markella Kyprios called their balloon "Wild Colors" to describe the giraffe-patterned yellow, brown and blue tissue paper.
Their balloon already had been flown three times.
"I think it's fun to see how balloons work," Jenna said. "I just think it's neat."
Danielle Cooke and Lauren Schneegas didn't have as much luck on their first flight because of a hole in the side of their balloon, "Rainbow."
"It went up, but it came back down pretty fast," Lauren said.
The balloon made by Flor Miranda and Ellie Mordang was the day's first casualty. Their hot air balloon caught fire, and bits of smoldering tissue paper floated down toward the concrete.
"We were blowing it up, and it just caught fire," Flor said. "We started cracking up, then we were sad."
Fortunately, it was the fourth time their balloon had flown into the air.
Science teacher Matt Tredway, who started the project, estimated the sixth-graders have flown more than 500 balloons in the past eight years. Tredway said he loves to see what the students create and their reactions to their balloons soaring above the school.
"It's been kind of a great culmination to an otherwise boring science," he said. "You put a little color and flame to it, and it's a little more fun."

Whether you are a big drinker or not (I'm not), New Year's Eve is a great excuse to educate yourself about international customs and try something new. I've run across several tasty drinks on my culinary tour of the world (I'm cooking one meal for every country in the world at Global Table Adventure)
Here's a quick rundown of some beverages you might try this New Year's Eve:
Bosnian Coffee (recipe)
Much like Turkish coffee – an espresso sized cup of coffee goodness. Recipe includes a video of how to make it.
Butter Tea (recipe)
This Bhutanese drink is exactly what it sounds like, although usually made with Yak butter. Take a look and enjoy!
Iced Hibiscus Drink with Pineapple (recipe)
This drink is popular throughout many parts of Africa, but we made it for our Burkinabe meal.
Spiced Papaya Milk (recipe)
Many people in hot northern Chad enjoy this creamy and refreshing blend of papaya, milk, cardamom and ginger.
Avena – Colombian Oatmeal Smoothie (recipe)
You can make this one ahead and pull it out when needed – perfect for brunch (you know, if you slept in and need a healthy pick-me-up) – a blend of oatmeal, milk, cinnamon and more.
Kompot (recipe)
Dried fruit stewed with sugar, then served over ice. Refreshing way to celebrate the holidays, eastern European-style .
Bambus (recipe)
If a Croatian has a bottle of bad wine they'll use it to make Bambus – a blend of red wine and fizzy coca cola. The sweet cola really covers up any sour flavors… plus the bubbles make this drink festive!
Gløgg (recipe)
Mulled wine, the go-to winter drink in Denmark – loaded with cinnamon sticks, orange peel, cloves, and more. Perfect after a long winter's walk.
Mojito (recipe)
If you have the winter blues, try this fresh Caribbean/South American drink – made with fresh mint, rum, and sugar, it's strong so if you usually like sweet drinks, stay clear or adjust the recipe.
Spiked Coconut Water (recipe)
Here's another drink from the Caribbean, full of healthy coconut water, rum, and lime juice. One of my top favorites and recommended by Jimmy Buffett.

You can tell a lot about a man by his shoes. Make sure yours are up to par with this old timey shoe brush. From the 50's style packaging to the natural boar hair bristles, this brush harkens to the days when men shined their shoes regularly and ordered martinis at lunchtime. Each brush has a wood handle and firm bristles that firmly encourage you to "Shine."
Each brush is made with all natural boar's hair bristles and a wood handle with exposed grain.
wooden handle with exposed grain and all natural boars' hair bristles
Good ergonomics, solid quality...I'm not sure what you really need in a good shoe brush, but this one should do the trick.
This is a great option for those looking to get a brush to use when shining their dress shoes. This large brush will certainly do the job for you.
I live in Michigan, so snow and salt is an every winter issue. This product helps me maintain my shoes, keeps them looking new.

Texas can clinch the outright conference title, as well as the top seed in next week's conference tournament, with another win as the three-game series now shifts to Austin. RHP Randy Boone (4-6) collected the victory with two innings of work while RHP Kyle Thebeau (2-5) shouldered the loss. The Horns are now 40-14 on the season and 19-6 in league play. No. 9 Texas A&M drops to 41-13 and 13-11 in Big 12 action. Both squads notched nine hits on the evening, but the Aggies were guilty of three errors -- including two critical miscues in the Longhorn ninth.
Aggie RHP Kyle Nicholson brought his league-leading 1.74 ERA to the showdown but was touched for four runs on six hits in 6-1/3 innings. He walked two and fanned five. The Horns went with LHP James Russell, who yielded four runs on eight hits in 6-2/3 innings, including two strikeouts and two walks. CF Nick Peoples had the hot bat, collecting two RBI and three hits in four at-bats.
Texas drew first blood. Kyle Russell crushed the first pitch he saw -- a high fast ball -- and earmarked it for the right field wall. The solo shot extended the junior's NCAA-leading streak to 27 round-trippers and spotted the Horns a quick 1-0 lead. It didn't last long. The Aggies put up a two-spot during their first at-bat courtesy of three singles and two stolen bases against LHP James Russell.
The Horns left two runners in scoring position when No. 9 hitter Travis Tucker went down swinging in the top of the second. After throwing 27 pitches in the opening frame, Russell retired the side in the Aggie second on just five pitches. But the Aggies mounted a two-out rally in the bottom of the third when Russell surrendered a double and a homer to push the lead to 4-1.
Arguably, the momentum shifted to the Texas dugout in the fourth. That's when Russell issued a leadoff walk and a single to put two on with no outs. A potential 6-1 score might have been the difference-maker in Aggieland, but Russell forced two foul-outs to end the uprising.
Jordan Danks leadoff single got things started in the top of the sixth before Kyle Russell was issued a walk on four straight balls. Chance Wheeless reached on a fielders' choice to put runners on the corners. Bradley Suttle's RBI-double to left-center made it a 4-2 contest, but the Aggies' averted further damage when Wheeless was thrown out at the plate. The Horns struck again in their next at-bat, starting with Peoples' seeing-eye single to center with one down. Chais Fuller worked a 10-pitch at-bat into an RBI double to plate Peoples and Nicholson's night was over. LHP Kirkland Rivers took the mound and rung-up Tucker on a 3-2 fastball. But Danks slapped an 0-1 fastball to left-center to score Fuller and we were tied, 4-4, at the seventh-inning stretch.
With two down and one on in the home-half of the frame, LHP Jospeh Krebs took the mound to face lefty DH Luke Anders (who had gone 2-for-3 on the evening). Krebs fanned Anders on a 3-2 breaking ball to preserve the tie. PH Josh Prince tallied a two-out single in the Texas eighth before Thebeau came on to force a Preston Clark groundout. The Aggies stranded two runners in scoring position in the bottom of the inning after Boone issued a single and an intentional walk. But Boone fanned Parker Dalton on a 2-2 pitch to set up the decisive final frame.
The Aggies are statistically the Big 12's worst fielding team and it came back to haunt them. Substitute catcher Josh Stinson was guilty of two throwing errors while Thebeau was responsible for two wild pitches in the Longhorn ninth. Here's how it unfolded: Peoples reached on a lead-off single, stole second and advanced to third on Stinson's throwing error. With the go-ahead run 90 feet from home, Chais Fauller grounded out to SS. Tucker then walked to put runners on corners and then stole second. A wild pitch plated Peoples, the go-ahead run, as Tucker took third on another Stinson throwing error. It was now a 5-4 ballgame. Danks walked before advancing to second on another wild pitch. Russell drew an intentional walk before Chance Wheeless' sacrifice fly in foul territory along the left field line spotted Texas an insurance run.
Boone's 11 saves on the season leads the Big 12, but the senior was now in line for the win. After issuing a two-out walk. Boone fanned Anders' on a 2-2 pitch to keep championship hardware in Austin.
RHP Adrian Alaniz (13-2) will stake his claim as the league's winningest pitcher in 2007 when he takes the mound at 6:05 p.m. (CDT) Saturday.

ALBANY, N.Y.—I have just finished a war book, though several years ago I swore I would never read another one! This was by the author, Mel Erskine, and had a foreword by Ida Tarbell and a very charming etching of the Ruins of Bailly by Zella de Milhaut. The name "Thank God For Laughter" made you feel that it would be different and yet it is not. Bunty, the American heroine and her English friend are two very real and delightful people.
There are descriptions in this book which in their utter simplicity bring you stark naked horror. No flowery descriptions could do it so well. The little story for instance, of the ambulance driver who chatted with a young soldier at the end of a bridge while he timed the firing of shells so that she could make her way across with her patient in comparative safety. They smoked and talked and when he said "go," she went. The trip was safely made, the patient deposited at the hospital. She returned to be stopped by an officer at the bridge and asked if she would take the body of one of his men to the morgue and she gazed with horror at her young friend with his head blown off.
I stopped reading these books because I began to feel I was growing too emotional about war but as I read this through the other evening, I wondered if it was possible to be too emotional, whether any means which brought war close to a generation which has not seen war and experienced it, was not entirely justifiable.
I get too wrought up on this subject, so let's turn to another!
In my mail the other day came a letter from an educated young girl, who being unable to find any other work, took a place in one of the suburbs of a large city as a domestic servant. Her letter bubbled over with protest. She practically said to me what another young girl said on another matter: "If you know all this, why don't you do something about it?" Well, I would recommend that every woman who intends to take on a maid should do every bit of her own work first. When she knows exactly the time it takes, the hard work, the weariness it entails, then she can begin with intelligence to plan what her maid can do.
Young people are more and more being obliged to do their own work because incomes are not always adequate for two to begin on, unless the woman contributes in work either in or out of the home. Modern conveniences make it nothing like as strenuous or difficult a task, as it was for our grandmothers, though it does require more intelligence, for the new work saving gadgets have to be understood and taken care of. Very often these young people come from homes where they never lifted a finger for themselves. They have a part time, occassionally a full time maid. Some of them adjust themselves and do a splendid job, others make life miserable for themselves, their husband and the maid!

Barrick Bonds Surge as Miner Plans Equity Sale: Toronto MoverCharles Mead
Bonds of Barrick Gold Corp. rose after the the world's largest gold miner said it would raise at least $3 billion to repay a portion of its $15 billion in debt.
The company's $750 million of 5.25 percent notes due 2042 increased 6.6 cents on the dollar to 87.49 cents at 8:38 a.m. in New York, according to Trace, the bond-price reporting system of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority. The bonds yield 6.19 percent, down from 6.78 percent yesterday, before the Toronto-based miner announced plans for Canada's biggest equity issue since 2009.
Barrick, which is contending with a plunge in gold prices this year, also plans to suspend construction at its Pascua-Lama project, an $8.5 billion mine on the Argentina-Chile border.
The stock offering, which may generate as much as $3.45 billion if an over-allotment option is exercised, highlights "the extreme measures management is taking to strengthen its balance sheet in a difficult operating environment," Wen Li, an analyst at CreditSights Inc. in New York, wrote yesterday in a report. "Management is prudent in suspending the project to reduce its near-term capital outlay and support its liquidity position."

Date of Stay: February, 2010
I felt that this park did not provide the services that they may have provided in the summer. Maybe winter Rver's are given the short stick. In our area- there were 5 RVs. We had one bathroom/shower available. The shower was in the bathroom, so if a person was using the toilet, no one could use the shower and vice verso. This was a limited amount of bathroom facilities for 5 RVs. It got so bad, a person used the toilet and left it in a very unsanitary condition. We could not use the bathroom after without gagging, and left shortly thereafter. I feel this park has potential- but it needs more bathroom facilities and a staff who is concerned about the comfort of their guests.
Date of Stay: February, 2010
This is the park to be in at Sandpoint. Great location next to town within walking distance of shops and restaurants in the town center, bar, restaurant, waterfront park, discounted ski tickets (you get $9 off per ticket at Schweitzer), pool, spa. You may hear train noise, but the location is superb. I paid $40 per night- but got a discount on 2 ski tickets for $18- a great value.

Aaron Green
Aaron Green (1917–2001) was an American architect and protégé of Frank Lloyd Wright.
Aaron Green (born 1917 in Corinth, Mississippi,[1] died 15 June 2001[2][3]) grew up in Florence, Alabama. He studied as an architect at Cooper Union in New York City, New York, which is where he was first introduced to the works of Frank Lloyd Wright[4] when he asked the renowned architect to design a house for Stanley Rosenbaum. Green was invited by Wright to join Taliesin as an apprentice in the early 1940s, from which point the two maintained a close friendship.[5]
Green enlisted in the Air Force during World War II, serving as a bombardier in the Pacific theater. After the war, he moved to Los Angeles and worked as an interior designer with industrial designer, Raymond Loewy.[4] During this time, he married and began a family. In 1951, Green moved to San Francisco and founded Aaron G. Green Associates, Inc., an architectural practice dedicated to service-oriented design.[6] In this organization, Green acted as Wright's West Coast representative.[4]
Green participated in forty of Wright's projects. At the time of Wright's death in 1959, the Marin County Civic Center was uncompleted, and Green saw the project through to completion[4] In 1968, he became a member of the College of Fellows, American Institute of Architects. He taught as a lecturer and critic at Stanford University's department of architecture for fifteen years. In 2001, he became the first recipient of the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation's Gold Medal.

There were two other parties with the kids and I when we got this news. We all went up to ticketing together. The others went up ahead and got in the long ass line. I asked this AA guy where the Gold Member line was, and he goes, "Oh, right here." And he opened the rope for me, and I was next in line. Yay me for asking the right question at the right time!
The lady clicked and clacked on the computer, handed us tickets, told us our gate number and said, "Quick, go now!" So here we were, running again. We went through security, got to our gate, and I found a payphone to call DH to let him know our flight had changed. Couldn't get a hold of him though. Hot tip: Always take your cell phone with you!
I suspect when we boarded our new flight the others were still waiting in line to be ticketed. I guess there ARE some benefits of being a Gold Member.

When I use the default Permalinks settings, the site works perfectly. If I change the Permalink structure to another setting such a "Post Name" (under the Settings>>Permalinks menu), I am am getting a 404 error for the initial landing page only. All of the other links seem to work fine.
Relevant details:
- When I selected/tested any of the optional Permalink structures in the menu, I also updated the .htaccess file with the code provided in the window at the bottom of the page in the WP content manager.
- I am not using a static home page, and under the Settings>>Reading menu, the "front page displays" setting is set to "Your latest posts"
- I have tried turning off all plug-ins but the problem still existed.
- I switched to the standard Graphene theme instead of the child theme but the problem still existed.
- I switched to the twenty eleven theme and the problem went away.
- WP V 3.8 (in case you need that info)
I am not sure what to try next. Any suggestions? Thanks for your help.

Avoidance vs. Bravery
Despite our best and continued efforts, there is no emotion that goes unexperienced. A tik tok persists: seek pleasure, avoid pain; seek pleasure, avoid pain. Without our own intervention, we are at the whim of chemicals and experiences—ineradicable by any flavor of obsession.
Fear is strong.
And "Don't be afraid." is an interesting phrase. It's a lot like "Don't be hungry." when you just ate. This application of logic is a popular technique, but logic is the language of neither stomachs nor sentiment. Stomachs speak food. Fear speaks attention.
Fear and those like it are indelible. Distraction placates symptoms but to treat the cause requires confrontation. "Don't be afraid." is to turn a blind eye. "Don't be afraid." is a rejection—which a heart does not take laying down.
Fear is strong but people are stronger.
"Be brave." is a different animal. "Be brave." is the ability to understand that while it may not be known why a fear exists—it does. "Be brave." feeds the growling of your heart. "Be brave." is to stand beside a fear, acknowledge its struggle, and propose collaboration and care. If you can't beat 'em, join 'em (and this is one you sure can't win).
Fear speaks attention. Be afraid, but then be brave.

Energy-Water Webcast
Energy-Water Webcast
Date: 4/27/2010
As most of you know, water and energy are intimately connected. The most recent issue of National Geographic was dedicated to the world's water problems and future challenges. In the United States, the water issue is not just important in the Southwest, but also the Midwest, the upper Great Plains, the Great Lakes, and the Southeast. With the growing population requiring more electricity generation (and water for cooling) and municipal water supplies, as well as the new ethanol water demand and extended drought, the agricultural industry finds itself at the bottom of the water "food chain" ("water runs uphill to money"). Not only an inconvenient, but exacerbating, truth is that the climate change models are suggesting significant impacts on future U.S. water supplies, in amounts, locations, timing, and form.
During this Webcast, we looked at two recent related water analyses: water impacts of climate change (Brad Udall, director of the CU-NOAA Western Water Assessment Project) and the value of water (Stacey Tellinghausen, Western Resource Advocates).

Dancing with the Stars Week 3 recap, scores
Breakdown of performance by each couple
Week 3 of "Dancing with the Stars"was a prom themed night on the dance floor.
Even the hosts were decked out in their 1970s and 1980s prom outfits (although Tom left the long sideburns at home).
Prom Night began with a group performance including all of the couples.
The group performed to Fatboy Slim's "Rockefeller Skank" - and each couple had a short solo performance. However, they didn't receive any scores for the dance.
Needham's Olympic gymnast Aly Raisman and her professional dance partner Mark Ballas were the first couple to perform this week.
In the setup to the dance, Aly said she never got to go to any of her school dances because she was always training.
Aly said she did get to go to the prom. Here's a photo of her date for the evening.
"I literally didn't know what counting music was before this show. I felt like I was in math class all over again!"
Alexandra Raisman and Mark Ballas danced the Viennese Waltz to "Give Me Love."
The dance started with cupid hanging above the stage, shooting an arrow at Aly and Mark.
Len Goodman: "Up until tonight, I've been really impressed with your dancing, not so much tonight.... APRIL FOOLS!"
Bruno Tonioli: "We were all swept away in a whirlwind of romance. You're such a nice little actress. You move really well. You're expressing so well for someone so young.
Carrie Ann Inaba: "Your quality is refined. What I want you to work on more is staying in character."
Judges Len Goodman and Bruno Tonioli disagreed with Carrie Ann.
Scores: Carrie Ann Inaba 7; Len Goodman 8; Bruno Tonioli 8 = 23/30
Andy Dick and Sharna Burgess danced Cha Cha Cha to "Da Ya Think I'm Sexy?" by Rod Stewart
Not quite sure the dance seemed like something from the prom. Sharna was wearing an outfit that looked like a catsuit.
Andy still looked a little tentative at times and there are mistakes in some of the footwork, but the dance was entertaining.
Andy even stripped for the audience and judges at one point.
"It's like revenge of the nerd," said Bruno Tonioli. "Andy, you are keeping up," said Carrie Ann Inaba.
SCORES: Carrie Ann Inaba 6; Len Goodman 6; Bruno Tonioli 6 = 18/30
Ingo Rademacher and Kym Johnson danced the Paso Doble to "Another One Bites the Dust" by Queen.
The dance was filled with passion between Ingo and Kym. They make an excellent pair.
It's kind of hard to tell if Ingo is fully getting his steps, although he does seem to be keeping up with Kym pretty well.
"Way to come back," said Carrie Ann. "It could have slightly cleaner arms on occasion, but well done to you," said Len Goodman.
SCORES: Carrie Ann Inaba 7; Len Goodman 7; Bruno Tonioli 7 = 21/30
Lisa Vanderpump and Gleb Savchencho danced the Viennese Waltz to "I Have Nothing" by Whitney Houston.
In the dance preview, reality star Lisa Vanderpump 'encouraged' her professional partner to do 'whatever it takes' to get people to vote for them.
This was a much smoother dance for Lisa. There are definitely some possible small mistakes, but the overall performance looks lovely.
"There was an air of lightness about it," said Len Goodman.
"It was like watching Empress Josephine wafting around the halls of Versailles..." said Bruno Tonioli.
SCORES: Carrie Ann Inaba 7; Len Goodman 7; Bruno Tonioli 7 = 21/30
Kellie Pickler and Derek Hough danced Jive to "Footloose" by Kenny Loggins
The performance featured one of the more daring entrance in "Dancing" history. Derek Hough slid down a bannister to get to the floor.
"Crisp, tight, precise... Actually you're sharper than a samurai sword," said Bruno. "That was ridiculously amazing," said Carrie Ann. "You're officially the queen of the prom," said Len.
SCORES: Carrie Ann Inaba 8; Len Goodman 9; Bruno Tonioli 8 = 25/30
Victor Ortiz and Lindsay Arnold performed a contemporary dance.
Contemporary often brings out the elegant dances, and this is no exception.
The champion boxer's contemporary routine earned a standing ovation from Tonioli, who was effusive in his praise. "Victor, unbelievable. You're a dancer, man," Tonioli said, adding that Ortiz's performance was sentimental, gentle and caring, with "wonderful ease of movement, total involvement. You make your partner proud."
"What just happened? Victor... You're a dancer!" said Carrie Ann. "Your best dance so far for me," said Len Goodman.
SCORES: Carrie Ann Inaba 8; Len Goodman 7; Bruno Tonioli 8 = 23/30
D.L. Hughley and Cheryl Burke dance the salsa.
Judges found the comedian's salsa – set to James Brown's "Sex Machine" – sorely lacking, and two of them didn't mince words.
"Well DL, if you're a sex machine, I'm America's next top model," Goodman said. "I admire your spirit … this wasn't a salsa. There was no rhythm, there was not a lot of hip action going on, not enough passes. It was as untidy as a teenager's bedroom."
Tonioli wasn't much kinder, saying: "I appreciate the effort but, I mean, salsa is all about very smooth, slinky and oily hip action. What you looked like was almost a case of hip replacement."
SCORES: Carrie Ann Inaba 6; Len Goodman 5; Bruno Tonioli 5 = 16/30
Jacoby Jones and Karina Smirnoff performed the rumba.
The NFL player's sultry rumba brought cheers from the ballroom audience and approval from the judges.
Tonioli told Jones he was "smoldering like a volcano of passion," while Goodman said Jones displayed refinement and quality of movement.
Inaba said she was impressed. "You have incredible artistry, you have a way of connecting to the music," she said. "That was just hot, sensual and artistic."
SCORES: Carrie Ann Inaba 8; Len Goodman 8; Bruno Tonioli 8 = 24/30
Wynonna Judd and Tony Dovolani performed the samba.
The country music legend's rock-infused samba fell flat with judges. Inaba said the dance didn't demonstrate improvement for Judd, while Tonioli said it "was a bit sedated for a performance."
Goodman pointed out that Judd sometimes went the wrong way and said the performance lacked hip action. "Well, you're like Mount Rushmore, you look magnificent but you don't move," he said.
SCORES: Carrie Ann Inaba 5; Len Goodman 5; Bruno Tonioli 5 = 15/30
Sean Lowe and Peta Murgatroyd performed the cha-cha.
Judges thought the reality TV star's cha cha was full of fun, even though they acknowledged that his footwork needed improvement.
Goodman said Lowe came onto the dance floor "full of energy, full of attack," and called it a great attitude.
SCORES: Carrie Ann Inaba 7; Len Goodman 7; Bruno Tonioli 7 = 21/30
Zendaya and Val Chmerkovskiy performed the Viennese waltz.
Inaba said the Disney star had an incredible lyrical quality to all of her movements. "The emotional connection to every single move is beyond your years. You're just fascinating to watch," Inaba added.
Tonioli said the routine was "as enchanting and charming as Venice in the moonlight."
SCORES: Carrie Ann Inaba 8; Len Goodman 8; Bruno Tonioli 8 = 24/30
The results show will air Tuesday night at 9pm.
The Scores:
Kellie Pickler and Derek Hough: 25
Jacoby Jones and Karina Smirnoff: 24
Zendaya and Val Chmerkovskiy: 24
Aly Raisman and Mark Ballas: 23
Victor Ortiz and Lindsey Arnold: 23

Lisa Vanderpump and Gleb Savchenko: 21
Sean Lowe and Peta Murgatroyd: 21
D.L. Hughley and Cheryl Burke: 16

Team preview: Loyola Marymount
Blue Ribbon Illustrated previews the 2003-04 college basketball season, exclusively on Insider.
Updated: November 4, 2003, 6:11 PM ETBlue Ribbon Yearbook
Editor's Note: Insider has teamed with Blue Ribbon College Basketball Yearbook, long known as the Bible of college basketball, to provide a comprehensive look at all 327 Division I teams. The way Steve Aggers saw it, freshmen only get better if you play them.
So Loyola Marymount's fourth-year coach did last season, all but two in fact, to mixed results. But if he had to do it again, he would.
"We struggled to play consistently," Aggers said. "We played well early, but we couldn't keep it going. They weren't used to the length of the season. For most of them, it was their first season playing D-I ball. But they got bigger, older and stronger and in hindsight, that was a good thing."

Israel's Supreme Court has overturned a ruling by a court of rabbis that would have forced a mother to have her son circumcised under the terms her divorce.
Circumcision is not legally obligatory for Jews in Israel, but a rabbinical court presiding over the woman's divorce case had ruled she must fulfill her husband's wish to carry out the procedure in a religious rite known in Hebrew as a "brit milah".
Last year, the court had ordered her to pay a 500-shekel ($150) daily fine until she complied. The mother then appealed to Israel's highest court.
Circumcision is one of Judaism's most fundamental decrees, symbolizing the covenant between God and the Jewish people and nearly all Jews in Israel abide by it, performing the ritual when their babies are eight days old.
Rabbinical courts in Israel have jurisdiction over matters of marriage and divorce and operate under the Justice Ministry.
But the Supreme Court, which has overriding legal authority in the Jewish state, ruled that because the health of the child was at stake, the rabbinic judges had overstepped their mandate.
It also said that since the boy was more than a year old, the surgical procedure would be more medically complicated.
"The issue of circumcision should not be included in the divorce suit," the court said in its ruling on Sunday, according to a transcript provided on Monday. It said the matter should be dealt with by a family court, a secular authority.

ATX in autocross
I've hunted around and haven't come up with much, other than what is listed in the novice guide sticky.
Any other suggestions? Aside from 'trade it in for a 5 speed".
How I hate the ATX even more now..
Here is a breakdown of (as best I recall) my 5 runs yesterday:
Anywho, during my first run, I left it in drive. I wanted to concentrate on getting a clean run and learning than messing around shifting and such... 65 and some change seconds.
2nd run, left it in 2nd. Still 65 seconds, but the instructor says I wasn't driving hard enough.. something along the lines of grow a set and DRIVE.
3rd run.. left it in first at the start, then to 2nd at the first corner (which was maybe 150ft after the start), and left it.... very slow acceleration no matter how dirty I talked to my car.. 59 seconds
4th run.. first gear at the start, held out around the first corner in 1st, then to 2nd and left it.. at the end of the course and on the way back, I dumped it back to first, and it wanted to stay in 2nd until I jammed on the gas twice really quick, and it seemed to drop back to 1st for me. (Thought the car was going to explode, but never even looked at the dash).. it just kept on accelerating... 58 seconds
5th run.. left it in 1st, brake hold at the start (launched at about 3500). much better acceleration off the start, controlling how much wheel spin i gave it (small chirp then they dug in).. then continued as I did in the 4th run.. 59 seconds + a cone penalty because I was driving WAY too loose. Think I could have gotten to 58 or even 57 again if I drove tighter.
Question is.. although it would take me out of HS, but would a tune help control the shifting a bit? I'm used to old musclecars where you go pick up a B&M shift kit, spend an afternoon with your transmission putting in the plate, bearings, and springs, and get nice crisp shift points and pretty much tell that transmission who the boss is.
have sct burn you a chip with the optimun shift points for the atx....it should work wonders!
you can check out focussport.com, hypnotic (wayne) or Turbo Tom. The last 2 have a section in the Vendors section on this forum. I'd recommend the Flasher just for the ease of flashing back to stock and then to your tune.
Clicky Clicky
The SCT will do wonders trust me, but a manual will have more of an advantage in autocross.
I don't think the tune will take you out of HS... but it may help with the drivability on the course. do you know how fast you can get up to in 1st?
I can "try" tomorrow in the parking lot at work, since I show up way before everyone else... i was too busy trying to not get lost yesterday, and never even thought to look at the gages.
I've Heard that in certain situations the auto can be good, because it can shift faster than any human with a clutch can...
Not sure if that refers to the Focus though, or like Porsches and such. I've also heard you're supposed to turn off OD... but that's it.
^^^^that would actually make sense....b/c then youll stay in the lower gears longer and ull keep the revs up.....plus i dont really see the need to go into 4th gear on an autocross course. But yeah a chip will definitly do wonders.
You could also get a recalibrated valve body for your atx, I heard it does wonders on how it shifts.
