Narrow minds often lead to complacent behavior. It takes a true creative person to constantly change thoughts and ideas to elevate their own level of perfection. How many times in your own life have you found yourself stagnant, not realizing in most cases that your way of thinking was actually the biggest obstacle? For 26-year old Ralph Villegas of Pueblo, Colorado, the journey of building a Lowrider has been an ever-changing trip, fraught with redirections and adjustments. Initially, Ralph sought out a car that could double as his daily driver; a ride that he could depend on to handle his work commute. As is the case with many Lowriders, that plan took a different turn when Ralph got wind that a friend of his was putting his '83 Oldsmobile Cutlass on the market. Although the G-body had no motor or transmission, the frame and body was in perfect shape, and Ralph's vision of the daily driver suddenly changed. At this point, the ideas started to flow and the saga of "Changing Mindz" began.
Thanks to an already established relationship with some riders in the Rollerz Only Car Club, one of the most respected and competitive clubs in the world, Ralph realized the true potential of the Cutlass. Although the original plan after the purchase was to leave the paint and body in stock form, Ralph's mind once again changed and he enlisted Vanderslice in Albuquerque, New Mexico to overhaul the exterior of the Oldsmobile. A House of Kolor Magenta was laid down along with some wicked graphics, including the newer Oldsmobile logos to give the Cutty a more modern and unique identity. Not to be overlooked, Ralph also had the undercarriage smoothed down and painted to match.
While the exterior had been given the royal treatment, the road worthiness of the Cutlass left much to be desired, especially if this car was to become the daily driver that Ralph was seeking. A Chevy 350 was added to the Cutlass with the help of Ralph's father, Ralph Sr., who wanted to help make his son's Lowriding dreams come true. Of course the weather and terrain in Colorado can sometimes be a bit too treacherous for a scraper to handle, so careful attention needed to be paid to the Cutty's suspension, otherwise it would be on a fast track to nowhere. In order to assist the car in handling the mountainous areas of Colorado roads, the Cutlass was brought to Champions Hydraulics in Pueblo, Colorado, where Jerry and Jim added a custom CCE two-pump, four-dump hydraulic setup using hard-lines that were plated by Denver Bumper. Ralph enlisted Angel's Upholstery in Alamosa, Colorado to add a custom peanut butter suede and vinyl interior that flows all the way into the trunk.
Now a full-fledged member of Rollerz Only Car Club, Ralph takes pride in all of the decisions and ideas that led him to the completion of his head-turning Cutlass. Throughout his journey, his wife, Crystal, and their baby daughter, Aubrielle, have remained by his side in support. "At the time I bought the Cutlass, my wife was pregnant with our daughter," Ralph says with a smile, "I guess you can say I now have two kids that make me happy." When most car builders have a set plan and rarely deviate from it, Ralph used his creativity and allowed his changing decisions to reach his dream.

Here's your one-stop shop to Sunday's NFL Week 15 betting card, with point spreads for each game and analysis and picks from The Linemakers on Sporting News. Be sure to click through to the informative and entertaining videos.
Lines are from the LVH SuperBook as of about 6:15 a.m. PT Sunday morning. Check out our live odds board for updated NFL point spreads.
Packers (-2.5, 43.5) vs. Bears
After losing to the Giants, the Packers have won and covered two in a row despite average performances. The Bears, meanwhile, are reeling. We'll lay the points on the road here, and we also have a good read on the total.
Rick Herron (video): Revenge game for Bears, but are they too banged up for it to matter?
Giants vs. Falcons (-1, 51)
The Falcons have won 10 straight games at the Georgia Dome, but the Giants have a penchant for knocking off quality teams on the road. We still see this as a cheap price for Atlanta and wonder which Giants team will show up.
Richie Baccellieri (video): Falcons catching Giants at the right time
Bucs vs. Saints (-3.5, 54)
Both teams are riding three-game losing streaks heading into this NFC South matchup, and while the Bucs lost at home, 35-28, to the Saints in Week 7, we like them getting the points in this spot. We also have a recommendation on the total.
Richie (video): The total is 54? Is that just for the first half?
Vikings vs. Rams (-3, 39)
The Rams have won three games in a row, but those could just as easily have been three losses. Adrian Peterson can carry the Vikings despite Christian Ponder's ineptitude. Take the points.
Richie (video): Take Minnesota, and "Yes" on the Peterson 2,000-yard prop
Prop bet: William Hill posts odds on AP's run at 2,000
Redskins vs. Browns (-3, 39.5)
Kirk Cousins will start in place of Robert Griffin III, but no matter who is under center for Washington, this is a big step-up in class for the Browns.
Rick (video): RG3 to Cousins is a 4.5- or 5-point difference
Jaguars vs. Dolphins (-7.5, 37)
The Dolphins are laying too many points here, considering they're 0-3 as a favorite this season and have dropped five of their last six. We're hesitant to endorse the Jaguars, but we recommend not laying the points with Miami.
Rick (video): Sometimes it's better to sit a game out
Broncos (-3, 48) vs. Ravens
The Broncos are laying about a field goal against a Ravens team that has been exposed over the past four weeks. Seems like a cheap price for Peyton Manning & Co.
Rick (video): Something's up with the Ravens
Colts vs. Texans (-10, 47.5)
The Texans — especially their pass defense — have looked vulnerable in recent weeks. Sunday, they get Andrew Luck and the Colts, who should hang around in this game.
Rick (video): Luck should put up some points on this Houston defense
Panthers vs. Chargers (-3, 45)
The Panthers are playing their best football of the season, and Cam Newton is looking like the player we saw last season. The Chargers are coming off their biggest win of the season. Which team will carry the momentum into this weekend?
Richie (video): I'm laying the field goal here
Seahawks (-4.5, 43.5) vs. Bills
The Bills have been all but eliminated from playoff contention, while Seattle needs to keep winning to hold onto a wildcard spot. But the Seahawks have struggled away from home and are laying more than they should be in their trip to Toronto.
Micah Roberts (video): Bills have bounced back well after losses
Lions (-6.5, 43.5) vs. Cardinals
The Cardinals can't score and the Lions can. While Detroit's defense may give up some big plays, we think they'll end their five-game losing streak — and do so by a double-digit margin.
Rick (video): Cards can't run it, can't throw it and you can't bet 'em
Steelers (-2.5, 45.5) vs. Cowboys
It's tough to pick a side in what should be one of the best games of the day, so instead, we're offering recommendation on the total.
Micah (video): Steelers beat good teams on the road, but Cowboys play to level of competition
Chiefs vs. Raiders (-3, 44)
The Raiders have lost — and failed to cover — six games in a row, and the underdog typically fares well in this AFC West rivalry. The Chiefs look like a decent play here, but we're inclined to leave this one alone.
Richie (video): When two bad teams meet, OVER is usually the play
49ers vs. Patriots (-4, 46.5)
Our better bet in this potential Super Bowl preview is on the total.
Micah (video): Are 49ers the team to stem the Patriots OVER trend?

Tea linked to lower risk of bile stones and cancer
10/07/2006- Drinking at least one cup of tea a day could cut the risk of cancer in the gallbladder and bile ducts by about 40 per cent, suggests a population-based study from China.
The news adds to a growing list of benefits that has linked tea and tea extracts, particularly the catechin, epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) to reducing the risk of Alzheimer

The allegations were that Faith, who was a computer technician in the school library, was caught with a 16-year-old female around 1 a.m. on a secluded street in the Cherry Hill Subdivision.

By the chimney with flair
See related story: Governor's Mansion décor reflects rosy timesCHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Move over, Christmas tree.Decked in holiday finery, mantels often usurp the tree for center stage in a well-dressed room.Anything goes in mantel décor, from simple fresh greenery, red candles and pinecones to profusions of flowers, fruits, ornaments, lights, ribbons and feathers. Some mantels hold sentimental collections of angels and Santas, while others boast opulent displays of decorative items arranged by professional designers.Laura Wehrle combined the approaches when she spoke with Kevin Madison, of Food Among the Flowers, about decorating her historic South Hills house for the holidays. She and her family were away while their home was undergoing renovation, but wanted to return to a festive house filled with familiar Christmas items."She wanted me to use her things in the design. I brought garland and ribbon and worked her stuff in," said Madison, who worked some of the Wehrles' cream and gold ornaments into an elegant mantelpiece for their dining room and used the mercury glass pieces Wehrle favors in a low mantel decoration in the family room.A flat-screen television mounted directly above the family room mantel presented a challenge common to many homeowners. Madison used a small amount of greenery, pinecones and short candleholders. "You can't use too much material under the television or it blocks the screen," Madison said. "You could also do something under the mantel or inside the fireplace, if it isn't being used."Craik-Patton House director Bri Jackson instructed designers who gussied up the historic house for a holiday open house to decorate in the Williamsburg style of the 19th century and to use natural materials.Joe Walker, of Walker's Fine Flowers, choose magnolia, pine, hydrangea and feathers to create a manteltop setting for two stuffed pheasants. Holley Price, of Holley Price Interiors, used greenery with gray and white feathers, ribbons and sprays to create a cool and soothing look over a bedroom fireplace.Tim and Erika Bailey threw tradition out the window when they hired David Fleshman, of Food Among the Flowers, to decorate their home for Christmas. Flashy green parrots and glittery turquoise peacock feathers are the focus of their mantel, formal Christmas tree, staircase and front-door wreaths.Erika attributes the bold selection to her husband."He has a pretty remarkable sense of style," said Erika, who claimed she had none. "We're very nontraditional."Tim selected the combination because he wanted something unusual for the South Charleston home they'd purchased three years ago. He also thought the colors complemented a wood block print that hangs over the fireplace.Glen Reed, director of events and operations at the Governor's Mansion, carried a theme of roses throughout all the public rooms in the mansion, but created different looks on the mantels in each room.The formal receiving room mantel got the royal treatment with an extravagant display of roses. The dining room mantel holds a fun, festive display of red and white candies in clear glass jars with balls and a cone of red roses merely filling in the spaces.A mantelpiece of unexpected purple and chartreuse draws the eye in the otherwise demure ballroom.The mantels of these four houses usher in the holidays in a wide range of styles and designs that might inspire people to give the mantels in their homes a new look this season."I hope they'll look at their old things in a new way," said Reed.Reach Julie Robinson at email@example.com or 304-348-1230.

Wenatchee, Wash.-based Oneonta Starr began shipping in early August, according to a company news release. Scott Marboe, marketing director, reported an abundance of size 90 and larger bartletts.
"There's not much in the way of small fruit, but a very strong market for cannery will keep a stable price floor," Marboe said in the release.
Quality was good on other Oneonta Starr pear varieties in early August, Marboe said.
"Red anjous and starkrimson are really looking good this season. There is excellent color at this time of year."
Oneonta Starr also will ship boscs, forelles, comices, seckels, Asian and Red Sensation pears this season, Marboe said.

ATLANTA — After rushing for just 46 yards in a 31-27 loss to the New Orleans Saints on Nov. 11 in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome, the Atlanta Falcons needed just three attempts to top that total in the rematch Thursday night in the Georgia Dome.
The Falcons got a 35-yard run from Michael Turner on their second play from scrimmage, then got a 5-yard pickup from Turner before backup Jacquizz Rodgers had a 14-yard burst on the next play.
That gave the Falcons 54 yards and they eventually rolled up 71 rushing yards on five carries on their 80-yard drive that was capped by Turner's 3-yard touchdown run en route to a 23-13 win.
Strief returns
The Saints had veteran right tackle Zach Strief in the lineup for the first time since injuring his groin in a Nov. 5 game with the Philadelphia Eagles.
Strief, who missed three games after having a procedure to repair a core muscle injury on Nov. 9, returned to the starting lineup for the game with the Falcons and was backed up by William Robinson — who was signed on Nov. 21.
Tying Marino
Saints quarterback Drew Brees threw for 341 yards against the Falcons, snapping a streak of five straight games in which he failed to reach 300.
It was Brees' 63rd 300-yard game of his career, which broke a tie with Brett Favre for third place on the NFL's all-time list and moved him into a tie with Hall of Famer Dan Marino for second place.
Peyton Manning holds the record with 68 300-yard games.
Thomas sits out
Saints tight end David Thomas was one of the Saints' seven game-day inactives because of a knee injury.
Thomas was injured in Sunday's loss to the San Francisco 49ers and was limited in the only two practices of the week on Tuesday and Wednesday.
Michael Higgins, who was signed from the practice squad on Tuesday, filled in on the two-tight end sets.
The other Saints inactives were DE Junior Galette (ankle), T Charles Brown (knee), DT Tom Johnson (back), S Isa Abdul-Quddus (concussion), WR Courtney Roby (shoulder/ankle) and LB Scott Shanle.
Inactives of note for the Falcons were DT Peria Jerry (quadriceps) and S Charles Mitchell.
Falcons CB Asante Samuel, who didn't practice this week because of a shoulder injury, apparently re-injured it on the Saints' first drive and did not return. … Also, WR Harry Douglas left with an ankle injury in the first half and did not return.
Still rolling
Former Central High and LSU offensive lineman Todd McClure played in his 194th NFL game, starting at center for the 191st time.
The 35-year-old McClure was chosen in the seventh round of the 1999 draft by the Falcons with the 237th overall pick. Despite his low draft status, he's started every game that he's been healthy for — 184 of them — since 2001.
The Saints are now 33-35 in primetime games. … Saints rookie defensive tackle Tyrunn Walker, a New Iberia native who played his college ball at Tulsa, was active for the first time. … Grambling coach Doug Williams watched the game from the press box. … Fellow Baton Rougean Warrick Dunn, a former Falcons running back and now a minority owner, was on the sideline during pregame warmups.

Gifts That Keep On Giving
The month of April will be proclaimed "Donate Life Month" in Fairfax County. More than 200 individuals in the county are currently on a waiting list to receive an organ transplant. Advances have been made in recent years in the technology of organ and tissue transplantation. This technology has extended life for many and provided a significant improvement in the quality of life for others. Virginia's organ donor registry will come online this spring.

Catamarca, Argentina, June 19, 2011 – Argentina overcame Portugal 3-0 (25-19, 25-18, 25-17) on Sunday in Catamarca to hold on to top spot in Pool C of the 2011 FIVB World League with a record of seven victories from a total of eight matches played so far.
Argentina tops the ranking of Pool C with 20 points, followed by Serbia with 13, Finland with eight and Portugal with seven. Two more weekends are at stake with any team being able to win 12 more points. The top two teams, Argentina and Serbia, will face each other on the sixth and final weekend in what could be a duel for top place and a ticket for the Final Round in Poland.
Federico Pereyra scored 16 points for the home team while Gaspar Hugo topped the tally for Portugal with 10 points.
Arroyo came in for Sole for Argentina while Hugo Gaspar and Manuel Silva replaced Valdir Sequeira and Flavio Cruz for Portugal at the start of the match. With two unforced errors and an ace Portugal took a quick 3-0 lead and Javier Weber immediately requested his first TO. A Conte ace helped Argentina to come back to 5-5 and then take the lead. Thereafter the lead changed continuously until Tiago Violas gave the local team a two-point advantage at 14-12 when Juan Diaz requested a TO. Level at 14-14, Argentina could not find the answer to Portugal's strong serving until the second technical time-out when they were up by one point. Diaz takes another timeout at 19-17 but the local team find their momentum and an error by Carlos Filalgo closes the set.
It was more of the same at the start of the second set with Portugal gaining the advantage and Argentina fighting back. After losing three straight points, Portugal coach Diaz stops the set to talk with his players but Argentina take another three points to lead 8-5 at the first TTO. The set goes on point-by-point but with Argentina slowly widening the gap. Pereyra's kill spike closes the set.
Portugal opted to make personnel changes at the start of the third set and they hold their own in the early stages. Weber called a timeout with the score at 8-10, hoping to avoid a repeat of yesterday's third-set collapse. Argentina respond and Diaz calls a timeout at 13-11, but the hosts are three points up at the second TTO. Finally, Pereyra applied the coup de grace.
Both sides have home games on the fifth weekend of the Intercontinental Round of the FIVB World League with Argentina hosting Finland, while Portugal will face Serbia.

Jeez. This is just.... terrible.Tendinosis, sometimes called chronic tendinitis, tendinosus, chronic tendinopathy, or chronic tendon injury, is damage to a tendon at a cellular level (the suffix "osis" implies a pathology of chronic degeneration without inflammation). It is thought to be caused by microtears in the connective tissue in and around the tendon, leading to an increase in tendon repair cells. This may lead to reduced tensile strength, thus increasing the chance of tendon rupture. Tendinosis is often misdiagnosed as tendinitis due to the limited understanding of tendinopathies by the medical community.[1] Classical characteristics of "tendinosis" include degenerative changes in the collagenous matrix, hypercellularity, hypervascularity, and a lack of inflammatory cells which has challenged the original misnomer "tendinitis".[2]
Procedure performed by Dr. James Andrews. Baseball fans know that name...
****. ****. **** **** ****.
It's time to put all our eggs in Paul George's basket...
"We've got to be very clear about this. We don't want our players hanging around with murderers," said Larry Bird, Pacers president.
am i the only one thinking that either our medical staff ****ed up or we are not getting the full story? was the medical staff too late to understand the situation when he was playing with pain? an injury this serious can't come out of nowhere, can it?
but by all means, if anyone stayed at a Holiday Inn Express...
This is going to be a tough season to watch. Just wait until George Hill has to sit for a while too.
we were talking about ECF a week ago. the things we talk about now make me sad beyond belief.
We'll really see what coach Vogel is made of now.
Granger's always been a tough player. Remember the game against Boston shortly after signing his $60 million dollar contract where he lost his front teeth? Ran off the court and came right back to shoot the free throws. It is killing him to sit on the bench and see this team struggle without him and I have no doubt that he would be out there if he felt like he could help and not hinder the team. Twelve weeks puts him back around 1/22. I know we are all a little concerned right now but I think Vogel putting Green back with the second unit will be a good thing and insertinf Young in the starting lineup will allow us to develop more of an inside-out game rather than dribble down, one pass and a bad jumper. Hibbert needs to assert himself offensively and that will free up our perimeter players for more drives to the basket.
We're seriously about to see what Paul George is made of. Pretty tough to put all of this on him at such an early stage of his career, but I dont think he has a choice now.
I think Rose comes back before Danny, Rose is already running and doing things.
I'm sure we'll continue to start Young, but we really should start Lance. No reason not to at this point, and the first unit could use his playmaking.
If things go the right way, as in Hill's injury not worsening or other injuries popping up, this is not a season killer if Granger can actually return. Sure they win less games, but if Granger makes it back before playoff time, and the rest of them team has kept things afloat (they should), then they can deal some damage.
Hibbert really needs to be worth his max contract, regardless of what's going on around him. And Paul George has to take that step forward offensively. West and Hill I'm not worried about, everyone else has a whole lot of work to do.
He may come back sooner, but if I were the Bulls I'd just wait till next season to make sure he's completely 100%.
I refuse to start Sam Young anymore. It was a laughable idea to begin with. Lance needs to **** or get off the pot as our starting 2 guard, George Hill technically backs him up. Paul needs to move to the 3 with gerald greene as his backup... and sam young needs to stay on the bench where he can't hurt us too bad. Tighten up the rotation, batten down the hatches, and prepare for a long and bloody war. We can still win it (the war, not an NBA championship... currently).
Reggie Miller is a God. Period.
Passion. Pride. Pacers.
It's ALWAYS Miller Time.
#31 & Only
Do the Pacers even have pieces to make a trade for an scorer or something? man if they could only be under the cap
As someone who had had surgery on my knees 13 weeks rehab is not that unusual , but odd part is that long is usually after a surgical procedure. I think Danny had a scope and Pacers are not reporting it. Yes I think they are hiding something from fans and media.
This is eerily taking on a Mike Dunleavy simliarity.
Its like some of you guys have never experienced tendonitiis.
I'm not surprised by the diagnosis, treatment, or prognosis. I'm more surprised at the reactions here.
The primary cure for swelling in the tendons is rest, and a lot of it. Surgery won't fix inflamed tendons. It could help with the source of the problem, or it could remove scar tissue, but the swelling takes about as long to calm down as it took to get unbearable in the first place. Its a gradual injury with gradual healing.
Reality is that he's probably needed to take this kind of time off for a while, but he's gutted it out as long as he could until no other choice remained. That would be similar to my experience when I finally had to redshirt one of my college track seasons after years of competing at 90%, then 80%, then 70% as the dull ache gnawed away at explosiveness. For what its worth, 20 years later and I still end up in physcial therapy or are forced to take 6-8 weeks off of running due to my knee tendonitiis which returns every couple of years.
Why do the things that we treasure most, slip away in time
Till to the music we grow deaf, to God's beauty blind
Why do the things that connect us slowly pull us apart?
Till we fall away in our own darkness, a stranger to our own hearts
And life itself, rushing over me
Life itself, the wind in black elms,
Life itself in your heart and in your eyes, I can't make it without you
Well it only took Adrian Peterson few months to get back so there is a chance, I agree with you if I was the Bulls I tank this year so I can find a Robin for Rose through the draft.
I agree with you though, if the Bulls can get a top 15 pick, they have a chance to get another wing OR athletic big on that team that if Rose can ever come back to being as good as he was, they'd be in great shape.
Jeff Taylor or Draymond Green would come in handy right about now.

So this is going to be super fun. As part of the distance competition at University of California, Santa Cruz on Wednesday 16 May, Tom Schot is going to bring out a number of 119-Discs for the big arms to throw in a separate competition.
The essential question we are asking is this: Can today's big arms throw as far as the big arms of yesterday, using the same equipment?
The 119-Disc is what folks were throwing in the late 1970s for max distance, before the heavier phosphorous discs came out (around 1980). There were only a handful of throwers able to break 400' distance with this disc in the late 1970s, almost always throwing sidearm (it was easier to get the nose down with a sidearm throw). Ken Westerfield smashed world records in 1978 with a 552' sidearm throw, a record that still stands today for sidearm throws. However, his usual throws were closer to 330'-360'. Other distance competitions held in California at the time showed throwers struggling to break 330' with a 119-Disc.
We should have a pretty good turnout for this event, as it is just prior to Masters Cup NT in Santa Cruz. We expect quite a few big arms to turn out. Avery Jenkins has already been practicing with a 119, and said it was very interesting to try and throw it far...it requires very clean release and smooth mechanics. A lot of the old school guys don't think today's throwers have a good enough sidearm to get anywhere close to 350'.
What do you think?
Here's a photo of Ken Westerfield with a 119-Disc in Santa Cruz, 1977:
How will guys like Avery Jenkins compare?

Well this ought to be an interesting thread and at him actually thinking Manning would be understanding about such a thing. I get his logic out with the old in with the new(the Niners did this first not the Packers they were lucky to get Aaron Rodgers that low in the draft) I mean really unlike the Steelers the Colts can't seem to win without Manning or is he too blind to see that as well?
Dungy: Colts should draft Luck, even if it means trading ManningBy Marc Sessler NFL.com
When former Colts coach Tony Dungy surveys the winless team he once led, he is reminded of his early years as a defensive backs coach with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Armed with an aging Terry Bradshaw at the helm, the team passed on a guy named Dan Marino in the 1983 NFL Draft and spent another 20 years searching for a franchise quarterback.
Dungy believes the Colts need to look to the future and draft Stanford quarterback Andrew Luck if they have the chance.
"I think you have to take him," Dungy told The Dan Patrick Show on Friday.
Dungy said Peyton Manning "would handle it OK, because you know it's coming."
"I would see him competing and playing as long as he wanted," Dungy said. "If it gets to the point to where, hey, he comes back and it looks like he's gonna play three or four more years, and you say -- we've got Andrew Luck, we've got an asset -- we trade (Peyton)."
Trade Manning?
Up until now, the mere idea of parting ways with No. 18 seemed impossible. But the Colts have wandered into strange lands, 0-6 for the first time since 1997, a disastrous season that netted Indy the top pick in the 1998 draft. They used that pick on Peyton, and they shouldn't be afraid to pull the trigger again come April.

Otto Linton is going into The Legends of The Glen at Watkins Glen International.
Linton is the final inductee for 2013. He competed in the first officially sanctioned race in Watkins Glen in 1948 on the 6.6-mile street course and came back several times through the late 1950s to participate in a number of events, including Jr. Prix races, the Seneca Cup and Queen Catherine Cup.
Linton, who entered a 1934 MGJ4 Competition two-seater in the 1948 Jr. Prix and Grand Prix, notched a best finish of third in the 1956 Queen Catherine Cup race.
"It is a pleasure to induct Otto Linton as a Legend of The Glen," WGI President Michael Printup said. "Linton is a valuable member of our Watkins Glen International racing community."
In the events he entered, Linton drove a variety of cars, including a Frazer Nash TT Replica, a Siata Sport, a Siata 208 CS and an OSCA MT4.
Since 2008, Watkins Glen International has selected drivers from all racing backgrounds to its hall of fame known as The Legends of The Glen.
Geoff Bodine was inducted last month during NASCAR's Sprint Cup race, the Cheez-It 355 at The Glen.

Gardner sparking Yankees' lineup from up top
NEW YORK -- Ever since he was a walk-on at the College of Charleston in South Carolina, Brett Gardner has been overlooked. But recently it's been hard not to see what he's been doing on the field.
The Yankees left fielder and leadoff man extended his hitting streak to six games with a double in the first inning on Thursday night against Toronto. Gardner entered the game batting .304 with three home runs and two triples in June.
"I think because of the names and the people in the middle of the order, sometimes a guy like that can be overlooked," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. "I've talked about when we haven't had him how much we've missed him, and it's really great to have him in the lineup every day and the job he does in left field ... when you talk about the Yankees, he's probably not going to be the first name that's talked about, but he's extremely important."
Wednesday night's game against the Blue Jays was a perfect microcosm. Gardner slapped four singles (jumping his batting average up to .290), the first one leading to the game's opening run, and scored twice in New York's 7-3 win.
"We all take a lot of pride in what our job is and I feel like that's my role at the top of the order, try to get on base and get over into scoring position so these can drive me in," Gardner said.
Center fielder Jacoby Ellsbury, the former leadoff man with the Red Sox, has also paced the offense. Ellsbury has started 23 games at the top of the lineup and a majority (42 games) in the three-hole, where he was on Thursday. After a couple of hitless nights since breaking his recent 17-game hitting streak, Ellsbury singled on Wednesday night and scored a run.
"I like what I see out of both of them," Girardi said. "You can only have one leadoff guy. I feel like our lineup has two of them in a sense, but you can only use one of them and Gardner's done a really good job at the top of the order. It really lengthens our lineup and puts a lot of speed up top in front of these guys who can hit the doubles and the home runs, so it's seemed to work OK."

Based on some anecdotal observations of mine over the weekend, it seems apparent that the "dumb money" has yet to find its way back into the stock market. (Note: I hate that term, as it talks down to folks who truly need help with the market -- but it helps for brevity's sake.)
First off, out of the three Super Bowl parties I attended, there was no talk about the Dow at 14,000 -- and nobody bragged about hot stock picks from the country club card room. Ditto for the five people I polled at a particularly robust food section at Target (TGT). (In fact, one lost soul didn't know what the Dow was. I gave him my business card.) Finally, in response to my Men's Health column, a reader who had "never bought a stock before" asked if they should do so now that the market is rising.
This seeming lack of "dumb money" is an important consideration as gruff-looking men continue to predict an impending correction. As I see it, the past month's sharp rise in buying has come from people who had previously jumped ship before the year-end "fiscal cliff" deadline. Such a pool of loot is not dumb money -- it likely comes from sophisticated investors who followed an advisor's guidance on how to avoid a raft of possible tax hikes. Realistically, of course, the dumb money is still poised to reenter the market as the "smarter" money sends stock prices higher due to a perception that the world is infinitely less risky.
To that point, here are a few messages the market is now chewing on:
1. A dismal first estimate on the gross domestic product has been revised higher. Also, the first-quarter GDP is somehow not a negative print.
2. "Ample" savings from consumers will sufficiently offset the government's wallet-grab; small-caps and the like win here.
3. The average price-to-earnings ratio of S&P 500 stocks is at 14.9x -- 490 basis points below the average since 1990. In a macroeconomic environment with "increasing momentum" and super cheap money, that means a heightened probability for both multiple expansion and upward earnings revisions. Sexy.
4. In the U.S., value stocks have underperformed growth stocks by 23% since the start of 1997. Perhaps value stocks (easier sells to "dumb money") will turn into reignited growth stocks amid the confident outlook that Mr. Market is forecasting.
As for the advice I have offered of late: For the purpose of simplicity, I have suggested booking some profits. This means you should not completely exit the market on the nonsense spread by those trying to make a splash in social media. With your profits, maintain exposure to the names that remain attractive longer-term holds as you seek fresh opportunities elsewhere. If this were a "get the heck out" call, I'd have suggested transitioning out of risky stocks into more defensive assets.
Sector Spotlight: Restaurant Stocks
The interesting thing I have found in this group is that the primary names have underperformed the major indices for the past four weeks. Sure, one component here leveraged to the fact that consumers now have less money being in their paychecks -- but equally important is the fact that food costs still have a very inflationary outlook. The market, having cooled on restaurant stocks, is articulating the future scenario of weak same-restaurant sales: Namely, a hurting consumer will likely balk at attempted price hikes to offset food-cost climbs. That's a recipe for earnings misses and readjustments of Street estimates.
Out of the group mentioned below, I am most short-term negative on Chipotle (CMG) into its earnings report. The company warned Jan. 18, and I believe the ensuing stock run-up has come amid a lack of reality among an uber-bullish analysts, as it regards reaccelerating sales and receding costs. As you'll se below, those that offer the most protein seem to have been rightly singled out by the market for some pain.
Finally, here are some fun statistics to take to the office -- the culprit for all of which is The Drought.
● The U.S. cattle herd is at its lowest level since 1952.
● Hay prices are 60% higher than their 10-year average (as in, hay for horses).
● Wheat prices increased in January for the first time since September.
● Corn prices remain near all-time highs per bushel.

By the way, its funny seeing this question in ad.
CAN I DOWNLOAD PUBLIC DOMAIN PROGRAMS? Yes, CGP has a public domain archive in its Post Office with about a Megabyte of Atari programs you can download.
Kind of made me laugh that a megabyte at the time was a huge deal.

Technology Blogs: Geeking Out
- Tagged in Social Media
- Leave a Comment
This week my focus is on technology blogs. You may have noticed that technology plays a big part in our world. Not surprisingly, technology blogs come in all different shapes and sizes. Some talk about developments in the startup industry. And some talk about twitter-inspired sneakers. But, each of them focus on how advancements in the field shape and affect our lives. And they all do it pretty well. So with that in mind, let's enjoy this brief tour of some of the best technology blogs I've seen lately.
Infworm is a young blog written by a young man in Mumbai. Still, as anyone who follows the tech world can attest, age hardly matters. In fact, sometimes youth can be an advantage. This blog is hardly childish, though, as it approaches the field with dedication and passion. If I were to pitch this blog, I'd look for stories dealing with telecommunications and gadgetry. Stories having to do with technology in Asia might also work. Check out the full review here.
Thug-Geek covers the world of technology as it pertains to both thugs and geeks. Now what does that mean exactly? Well, I'm not sure. But, I do know that I like pretty much everything on this site. So maybe that helps. If I were to pitch this blog, I'd look for stories having to do with technology's role with entertainment, specifically video games and movies. Check out the full review here.
I met a writer from Pando Daily during a layover on the way to SXSW. And while the site is not about panda bears as I originally misheard, it is pretty much the authority on the startup industry and Silicon Valley. This site yearns to be the first to break the news. But, if they don't, they're quick to give credit to those who do. If I were to pitch this blog, I'd look for anything to do with startups or Silicon Valley. Check out the full review here.
Geeks are Sexy focuses on the lighter side of technology. Or maybe it's where technology meets bath towels and pancakes. Having said that, they also have a deep appreciation for that which is eternally cool about technology. And I guess that's at least a little sexy. If I were to pitch this blog, I'd look for stories having to do with technology-based conferences or events. Things having to do with technology's fun side might also work. Cosplay, whatever that is, would probably work here, too. Check out the full review here.
Digital Trends is probably the most significant blog on this list. They've definitely got the audience numbers to back it up. They're probably also the most thorough, publishing on the most varied amount of topics pertaining to technology. If I were to pitch this blog, I'd look for stories having to do with technology in general. They seem to write about pretty much everything. Check out the full review here.
That's all for now. In the meantime, if there's a blog I should be reviewing, drop me a line or a note in the comments, and I'll take a look. Until next time…

MERRY Hill transformed into a fashion and beauty hub to celebrate the launch of new spring and summer collections.
Giveaways and fashion shows kept style fans entertained at the mall on Saturday March 15 and Sunday March 16 when it hosted its latest We Are Fashion event.
Fashion designer Louise McDowell, who has worked at Paris and New York Fashion Week - and whose designs have appeared in Elle and Vogue, co-ordinated fashion shows which took place in Fountain Square throughout the weekend; while Kidderminster College fashion students helped style and dress the models who showcased new season trends - prints, pastels and colour block.
Kelly Reed, Merry Hill senior marketing manager, said: "Once again we saw another fabulous fashion weekend, with lots of customers enjoying our glam spring/summer fashion shows.
"Fashion-savvy shoppers also took advantage of our exclusive voucher booklets to ensure their wardrobes are updated and that they're bang on trend this season.
"The lovely students from Kidderminster Academy did a great job getting stuck into helping style and dress our models."
The centre is now gearing up to host a Bike Fabulous event on Saturday April 5 and Sunday April 6, which will offer shoppers top tips on how to look good on their bikes this summer.

AN ABBY Picton hat-trick ensured Swindon Town Ladies made it through to the third round of the Women's FA Cup for only the second time in their history with a 3-2 win away at Exeter.
The striker made sure Town got off to the perfect start as she converted a Kirsty Shell cross after only three minutes, but they were pegged back on 10 minutes as Exeter levelled things up at 1-1.
That is how it stayed as the half-time whistle blew, but the Wiltshire side started the second period slowly on a heavy pitch at Devon FA Headquarters and slipped behind within minutes of the game getting underway again.
The goal sparked Town into life, and they were soon rewarded with a goal from Abby Picton which made it 2-2.
The visitors kept on pressing, and we rewarded with a winner seven minutes from time as Picton once again slotted home to complete her treble.
Swindon had to defend superbly during the final minutes to secure their place in round three, much to the delight of manager Glyn Evans.
He said: "The players deserved to go through after working so hard from start to finish, and what a day for the club to progress again into the next round."
The club's reward for reaching round three is a home draw against Gillingham.

This is the situation in which "Fringe" fans find themselves ahead of the final, two-hour conclusion. So what on Earth — or, given that it's "Fringe," what on Earths — are we talking about here?
Only the fact that, unlike any other show in recent memory — or, perhaps, in television history itself — "Fringe" has required something of its troupe of actors that is both daunting and utterly captivating to watch: It forced them to play several different versions of their characters, sometimes all at once, and define unique characteristics and emotional memories for each one over time.
This has been the case since the first season, which introduced the notion of multiple universes. By and by, the multiplicity produced dialogue you wouldn't find anywhere else, like the time when Noble's Walter Bishop says to Jasika Nicole's Agent Astrid Farnsworth: "You're not you, are you?"
For the past five seasons, "Fringe" has chronicled the exploits of Olivia, forced to collaborate with licorice-chomping, soft-hearted, guilt-ridden mad scientist Dr. Bishop to explore "fringe events," weird occurrences that suggest a nefarious plan is afoot to threaten the world. Joining them is Walter's adult son, Peter (Joshua Jackson), who has played a special role in all that's unfolding.
Actors playing multiple roles isn't new. Rarely, though, is a performer called upon to develop the same recurring character in two similar worlds.
"Fringe" was an unusual acting challenge for sure, largely because of its slow burn. The show has spent five seasons engineering crossovers to alternate universes, rebooting universes entirely and generally exploiting the entertainment potential of quantum theory to produce slight variations on characters who were subtly different based on the experiences their circumstances forced them to endure.
"Fringe" dug into the very unplugged notion that we all contain multitudes — that while our identities contain certain core components, the challenges and triumphs and tragedies we face can propel us in utterly different directions that sometimes even we don't recognize.

Lung diseases
Small Nodular Focus/On-End Vessel
the result of my second opinion from my chest xray was "an inconsistent right upper lung small nodular focus is noted believed to be an on-end vessel. May also do an oblique supplimental view if warranted. Is this a serious illness? what are the causes and symptoms of this findings? is there a posibilities that it would turn out clear or be FIT TO WORK?
It sounds as if they cannot decide if there is a small nodule in the lung or if they are just visualizing a normal vessel on end. A different view of the chest (oblique) or CT scan would probably give an answer.

I want a "realistically" animated MOTU movie.
I want a live action MOTU movie.
Considering the physiques on Eternia being what they are as compared to real human beings on Earth, I think an animated MOTU movie that resembled the 2007 Beowulf movie would be ideal. This would also open the door for some of the voice actors from the cartoons to participate.
MYP Sorceress is a MUST HAVE figure for MOTUC!
I don't think technology is at a place where we can do hyper-realistic CGI animation without it looking kind of creepy - Beowulf is a prime example of that.
I'd love a high quality animated movie (ie Filmation but without the reuse of animation), but barring that I'd prefer live action.
Let me get this straight...
Mattel/MOTU is doing stuff alongside DC Comics at this very moment (a DC MOTU comicbook series and Mattel toy licensing the DC heroes) YET we have DC nor Mattel, seeing any logic in releasing one-off animated movies like the ones already being made on a consistent basis in the long line of relatively successful straight to DVD DC Animated movies?
This poll needs a third option for "I want a traditional old-school animated MOTU movie." That said, I don't want CGI. Not until the technology gets much better. So, in the end I went with live action.
Now if they could get a bunch of good actors with Arnold Schwarzenegger physiques, I'd have more hope. But I can't think of one good actor with an Eternian physique. Even the Spartans from 300 were undersized in comparison to what MOTU guys have always looked like. As for Beowulf, I don't think it was the animation style that was to blame for its lack of success. It wasn't the greatest movie ever but I found it to be pretty decent.

live action will get the most attention and has the biggest chance at mass market exposure.
that said I DO want high quality animated dvd films like those dc has been putting out as well
CHECK OUT MY BRAND NEW WEBSITE for my Akil and Saltfish comic strip, more to come soon!
I've got everything that I need, right in front of me! Life's a happy song people!
Fear is faith in failure
hmm.. i went with animated... i think a live action film wont look that great .. my fear is that i will look like a bad sci-fi channel flick or a Chris Dane Owens video...
Just when you thought it was safe to take a pee.....- Hard Ticket To Hawaii -
Animated would be much more logical. Provided that either A. it's handled by Warner Bros. ala the DCAU or B. Mike Young handles the animation [which would be awesome, both on a nostalgic level and a practical level].

PHOENIX -- The Rangers were able to take a look at Jeff Beliveau and Michael Kirkman on Friday, but other Rangers pitchers will have to wait, because Friday's game with the Brewers was wiped out by rain after four innings. The rain was accompanied by high winds and dropping temperatures.
"Miserable out there, absolutely miserable," outfielder Craig Gentry said. "Windy, rain, cold.... The last inning was pretty bad."
Beliveau, who started, and Kirkman both pitched two innings. Kirkman was supposed to pitch the fifth inning, but the weather didn't cooperate. At least he got on the mound. Cory Burns, Neil Ramirez, Collin Balester and Johan Yan had their one inning of scheduled work washed away. Manager Ron Washington said they will try to get them on the hill on Saturday, when the Rangers have split-squad games against the Athletics and Padres.
Matt Harrison pitches against the Padres in Peoria at 2:05 p.m. CT, while rookie Nick Tepesch will be on the mound against the Athletics in Surprise, also at 2:05 p.m. CT. This arrangement allows Harrison to miss pitching against the Athletics. But the big reason for the arrangement is that the Rangers wanted Tepesch pitching at home, where more club officials can look at him.
Washington said he will go with the team in Peoria and let bench coach Jackie Moore handle the team in Surprise.
"If it was Tucson, I'd be saying, 'See you Jackie,'" Washington said. "But it's not Tucson, so I will go on the road."
