Wart & Mole Removal
Contact Us: Ferndale 248-336-4000 ~ Detroit 313-861-4400
Moles are spots on the skin where pigmented cells have clustered together. They typically appear as light to dark brown spots on the skin that are either flat or raised. Most people have benign moles, which are harmless.
If you are concerned about a mole because it looks different from the others, or you are over age 30 and notice a new mole, call your EPIC PRIMARY CARE doctor. Also, call your doctor if you notice any signs that an existing mole may be atypical.

The Oscars will go without a host for the second consecutive year, reports Deadline.
In a statement on Wednesday, ABC Entertainment President Karey Burke said to the Television Critics Association, "Together with the Academy, we have decided there will be no traditional host, repeating for us what worked last year. [It will have] huge entertainment values, big musical numbers, comedy, and star power."

The 2020 Oscars will go hostless yet again Back to video
Last year, comedian Kevin Hart was originally announced as host. But after homophobic tweets the actor made began to resurface, the Academy let Hart go and chose to proceed without a host, leading to a relatively smooth ceremony.
In fact, the 2019 Oscars were a hit for the Academy, running 30 minutes shorter than the average broadcast, and seeing a 12 per cent rise in viewership. It included such memorable moments as Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper's A Star is Born performance, and an array of high-wattage presenters.

Market News
Stocks are rallying hard to begin Tuesday's exchange as trade tensions ease. China's Vice Premier spoke with Steven Mnuchin by phone to discuss plans for negotiations going forward. Many are hailing this notion as a small victory, as the world's two largest economies display a willingness to converse. The S&P500 is currently trading at 2,667.90, 1.14% higher.
Treasuries are little changed in the AM as investors patiently await more color concerning the U.S./China trade relationship. Additionally, the producer price index (ex food/energy) came in better-than-expected at a 0.3% MoM increase, versus estimates of a 0.1% rise for the month of November. On a YoY basis, PPI (ex food/energy) came in at a 2.7% increase. The UST yield curve remains at the forefront of investor attention as the 2-3 Yr notes continue to trade higher than the 5 Yr. The US 10-YR Note is currently trading at 2.8610%, 0.0035 higher.

Circle K & PepsiCo Celebrate Football Season With 'Unreal Rookie Deal'
TEMPE, Ariz. — Circle K Stores Inc. is teaming up with official National Football League (NFL) sponsor PepsiCo for a campaign that spotlights rookie players.
The effort centers on an "Unreal Rookie Deal" comprised of two hot dogs, a bag of potato chips from the manufacturer's Ruffles brand, and a choice between a 20-ounce Pepsi bottle or a proprietary Polar Pop beverage. The offer is valid from Sept. 1 through Feb. 4, 2018.
In stores, clings on coolers and fountain machines, wobblers affixed to Frito-Lay floorstands and a Pepsi- and NFL-branded Polar Pop cup spotlight the deal. Digital support includes ads on NFL.com, CircleK.com, a promotional page within regional Circle K websites, Facebook covers, and a series of skits on Pepsi's YouTube channel.
Digital and in-store support serves as a gateway to PepsiCo's "Rookie of the Week '17" program, which allows consumers to vote on an NFL rookie at NFL.com/rookies. Each week during the 2017 football season, an NFL player will be selected through the page to receive "Pepsi rookie of the week" honors.

Got a selfie you're really proud of? Think landscape pics taken on your phone are museum quality?
If so, Prisma is the app for you.
Its one and only purpose is to make your photographs into works of art and I can't tell you how much fun I've had with it. My social media followers and anyone who has talked to me in the past week have been made to suffer my enthusiastic ramblings.
I'm not even sorry.
Now its your turn. Look at what this app has done with some of my favorite pictures. I've noted the filter used for each in the captions – just hover your mouse or finger over each to see them.
Landscape/Still life:
The app is free and currently has 35 filters – everything from classical painting styles to modern pop art. As you can tell from the above pictures, I prefer Gothic and Udnie. These give your picture a painted look without changing its colors or focal points.
Another feature lets you scale the filter effects on the photo. While decreasing this percentage can help clear up details when using painted filters, the hand-drawn/black and white filters look best when left alone. If these don't look good at 100%, you probably want to try another style. I haven't yet played with running a picture through multiple filters, but it might be interesting to combine a penciled look with a painted filter or vice-versa.
Currently, Prisma only allows square (Instagram-sized) photos and each is automatically stamped with the app's name in the lower-right corner. This isn't a big deal currently as you can easily crop it out if it bothers you that much.
Another great feature: Prisma automatically presents you with options to save pictures as you go, allowing you to try different filters on the same original photo without having to reload it each time. It also makes it easy to post on Instagram or Facebook because what good are these pictures if you can't share them?
I hope future updates will make new filters (maybe Picasso?), sizes, and features like the ability to filter panoramas, even live photos, available.
Shout out to Mashable's Snapstory for introducing me to this app. If you're in communications I strongly suggest subscribing to their daily news digest.
While you're at it, follow this blog for other communications-related and entertaining posts and share your Prisma creations with me.
If you're as excited as I am, you probably stopped reading halfway through this post and have already downloaded the app. Happy filtering!

He's one of the most-penalised players in the NRL but Gold Coast's Ryan James won't be changing his style of play for anyone.
A week after being charged for a high tackle that left Wests Tigers' fullback James Tedesco with a broken jaw, James was embroiled in controversy again last Saturday.
Penrith coach Anthony Griffin was livid despite his team's 15-14 win at Robina, with front-rower Reagan Campbell-Gillard suffering a back fracture when James was the third man in a tackle midway through the second-half.
James says being labelled dirty by outraged fans or commentators doesn't faze him.
"People like to sit behind keyboards and write what they want," he said.
"It doesn't really bother me. I guess it's just angry fans.
"There's not much you can do about that, just stick to your game.
"It was a normal tackle and there's 15 of those in a game. It's just very unfortunate he got injured and there's just not much you can do about it."
Joey fumes at Hughes GF week contract talk
Fittler shoots down Cleary injury concerns
Johns defends Dally M selection process
James has conceded 25 penalties this year according to NRL.com statistics, with only Cronulla pair Michael Ennis (28) and James Maloney (27) giving away more in 2016.
Titans coach Neil Henry has admitted James's run-ins with referees are a concern, especially with Gold Coast heading into a crucial match against North Queensland this Saturday.
Nothing less than a win over the Cowboys in Townsville can give the Titans any chance of making the finals.
James says he'll be wary to keep himself out of trouble in the ruck against the premiers as he aims to take Gold Coast into the finals for the first time since 2010.
"I've been wanting to play semi-finals footy for a long time," the 25-year-old said.
"We've been against the best this year and beaten them. We've been in some tight games and lost by a point or two.
"We definitely know we can go up there and mix it with them."

Tech company to add 100 jobs in downtown Detroit
CDK Global spun off from Automatic Data Processing in September 2014 and plans to expand its Detroit presence.
A spin-off of payroll management firm Automatic Data Processing plans to add more than 100 tech jobs in downtown Detroit.
CDK Global, which helps auto dealers and manufacturers improve their online marketing, has been enjoying a growth spurt at its location in the One Detroit Center building.
The company's Detroit unit started as a division of ADP Global Marketing about two years ago. In September 2014, Chicago-based CDK was spun out of ADP as its own publicly traded company on the NASDAQ.
CDK's business focus reflects a natural overlap of two of downtown Detroit's strengths: information technology and the auto industry.
Jessica Steinberg, director of employment brand and recruitment marketing for CDK, said the company has leased an additional floor of the One Detroit Center complex. Renovations are under way on the new space.
"We are the business behind the business for the automotive industry," she said. "Detroit is the Motor City and we are the technology that drives the automotive industry."
CDK plans to add the new jobs during this year. The positions will primarily focus on digital marketing but also will include some software development.
"We see extensive growth opportunity in the market," Steinberg said.
It was not immediately clear how many employees CDK has at its One Detroit Center office. The company opened its first location in Detroit in 2013 at the Renaissance Center with plans to add 150 employees.
To apply for a position at CDK, go to CDKJobs.com.

How to use WiFi Dashboard?
The software acts as a hotspot creator eliminating the need to create a network with other devices. Simply connect to other devices using WiFi Direct to chat, share files, communicate in other ways and so on.
According to Intel, the software has been discontinued, although you can still download it for Windows 8 and 7 on supported devices.
Unfortunately, I can't test the software since there is no way to install it as I don't have compatible hardware.

I would like to see the demise of the Driving Standards Agency (DSA), the cancellation of the HGV/PSV drivers CPC legislation, and I'd also like to see a strong government that can stand up for itself and not be brow beaten into implementing ridiculous legislation brought on by the whim of faceless, unelected bureaucrats with no knowledge of the transport or construction industries.
The drivers CPC comes into effect by 2014 and drivers must have 35hrs of classroom training every 5yrs. Why ? Where are the facts ? Where are the statistics to say that we need it ? Answer is – there are none. It is purely the EEC and the DSA making mischief in order to justify their own existance.
Why does this idea matter?
There are enough laws and legislation already which are stifling and hampering the smooth operation of transport in this country. Don't create more. Who is going to pay for this classroom time ? I can see drivers such as myself, with over 30yrs experience, letting their HGV licenses go. Because, personally I regard it as nothing more than a money making racket and an insult to my experience, professionalism and credibility.
What it means is that if I do not comply by 2014, I can be prosecuted and fined, not because of my lack of driving capability but purely because, either myself or my employer has not paid good money for a pointless exercise augmented by faceless bureaucrats.

Tyga is a proud dad at the Kids Choice Awards, and he's twinning with his and Blac Chyna's son, King Cairo. Check out the two boys looking really sharp at the important event. They are rocking matching braids.
Someone commented 'Why does it look like he stole Travis Scott's full look.' This is not the first time when people say that Tyga pulled a Travis Scott with his latest look.
Another follower said 'Tyga has been dressing like this for years tho, What's the problem.'
Someone else posted 'King is one of the better dress kid always on point.'
The KCAs are a casual awards show, and Tyga was there for his son whom he shares with Chyna.
This event is said to be the perfect opportunity for stars to bring out their little ones in public. The show is geared toward kids.
Not too long ago, Tyga slammed Soulja Boy. Soulja was involved with Chyna for a little while, but then he shaded her on social media.
One of his worst IG posts was the one in which he was telling Tyga that he hooked up with his baby mama and played Fortnite with his son, King Cairo.
Tyga then clapped back with some lyrics and fans supported him.
Chyna and Soulja were reportedly together just to spite Tyga – everyone believed that they were a couple when he posted a pic of the two of them on social media for Valentine's day.

These electric rides aren't for lazy days on the trail. They're shred-happy tools made to trek farther than two legs can handle.
1. Riese & Müller Delite Mountain
Best for: Long-haulin' rough riders
This bike's genius is its dual-battery option. It comes with one 500-watt-hour lithium-ion unit; add another ($769) and the range stretches to 100 miles. The 250-watt Bosch Performance CX motor has four levels of assist, all accessed from a handlebar-mounted control. Road-friendly options like a luggage rack make it equally suited for bombing the urban jungle. | $6,149
2. Specialized Women's Turbo Levo FSR Comp 6Fattie
Best for: Power-mad single-trackers
Specialized's dirt-first e-whip is fitted with a generous suspension (the shock has 140 mm of travel) and higher-volume tires for extra traction. The 250-watt Brose motor has three settings (Turbo, Trail, and Eco) that you can fine-tune using an app. Don't worry, guys, there's a men's model too. | $5,500

A logical way for proceeding with the resolution of an issue could be as follows:
Record the non-conformance, identify any specific measures that must be taken immediately to, for instance, stop the product from going out. Then initiate the investigation process to identify the Root Cause. If it is a single occurrence issue with little risk then it is possible that the process can stop there although there must be a process for ensuring that the problem does not get repeated.
Corrective Action
For more important issues and particularly those presenting a risk to the business then the process should be escalated to that of a formal Corrective Action. This will involve a more thorough analysis of the Root Cause and the concise identification of Corrective Measures that need to be taken. These measures should be appropriate to the severity of the problem and clear instructions and responsibility must be given to correct the problem. For a Corrective Action to be effective proof must be provided of the implementation of the measures taken to ensure that recurrence of the problem has been prevented.
Preventive Action
Strictly speaking a Preventive Action should always accompany a Corrective Action so that there is a documented proof that measures where taken to prevent the recurrence of the problem as well as fixing the problem. There should also be a pro-active process in place to identify potential areas of non-conformance, before they occur, and to implement steps to ensure that, once identified, they do not occur. Again, clear instructions and responsibility must be assigned with proof of implementation before a formal Preventive Action is completed. Clear and concise documentation for each process, with assigned responsibility and specific deadlines ensures that the resulting changes are implemented in a time critical manner and that clear proof is available of their effectiveness.

Growing Carrots
There are few vegetables that taste better when they are home grown than carrots. Freshly pulled, sweet and full of favour compared to what can be bland and watery 'shop bought' versions. You don't need to stick to traditional orange either. There are purple, yellow and white varieties to try and many shapes and sizes as well.
Where to grow carrots
Although they will grow in heavy clay, carrots do best on light sand soils where the drainage is good and root growth is not restricted. The soil should be free of stones and not too rich - both will cause the carrot to 'fork' so avoid manuring ground you plan to sow carrots in next season.
As with many crops, an open sunny site will suit carrots best. Carrots also grow well in containers and Haxnicks do a specific Carrot Patio Planter. The planter means that anyone can grow carrots even if they don't have a garden. Plus no digging is needed which is a bonus, simply fill it with compost before planting your seeds.
Sow thinly outside from early spring or under cloches from late winter - Easy Tunnel would be ideal to keep them warm. Plant around 1cm deep with 15-20cm between the rows. If you make a new sowing every few weeks through to early summer you'll be well supplied throughout the year.
In summer, begin sowing seeds for autumn and winter carrots. Its best to do this at the latest 10 to 12 weeks before your average first frost date.
If your soil is very heavy you may like to dig deep along the trench and loosen the soil with a mix of compost and some grit and then sow on top of this.
Thin the seedlings to around 5 cm apart. Do this on a still evening to avoid attracting carrot flies and bury the thinnings deep in the compost heap to hide the smell.
Another way to reduce the chance of carrot fly is to erect a fine-mesh barrier at the time of sowing – at least 70cm high. Check out our Micromesh Pest & Wind Barrier which will work for containers and open ground. Or a Micromesh Tunnel - with 0.6mm netting will also keep the Carrot Fly from getting to your precious crop.
Weed the crop regularly making sure not to disturb the roots too much. A good mulch will help to retain moisture and keep the weeds at bay - keep the seedlings well watered in dry weather.
Harvesting and storage
Start to harvest from late Spring onwards - usually 7 - 8 weeks after sowing. Lift carefully with a fork rather than pulling, especially when the soil is dry.
Maincrop carrots can be left in the ground and harvested as required. Later in the year you may need to cover with straw of fleece as the temperature drops.
Alternatively you can lift your crop in mid Autumn and store in a box of sand or dry potting compost. Trim the foliage to 1cm and make sure the carrots are not touching. Stored in this way they should last throughout the winter.
Pests and diseases
The main pest is Carrot Root Fly which lays it's eggs on the plant and can destroy the whole crop.
There are several ways to deter the fly:
- A later sowing in early summer will avoid the main egg laying periods in late Spring and early Autumn
- Lift early summer crops before the risk of infestation
- Use a micromesh barrier around the crop - the carrot fly stays close to the ground and so will not approach the plants from above
- Companion planting of strong smelling crops such as onion will mask the carrot smell which attracts the fly
For more information on carrot flies and tips on how to get a successful crop see our Carrot Fly Blog

Read this tip to make your life smarter, better, faster and wiser. LifeTips is the place to go when you need to know about Scrapbook Albums and other Scrapbook topics.
When planning a scrapbook album you need to think about where in the album your groups of photos will go and what decorations and title you should use. I find the easiest way to remember my choices is to write them in light pencil directly onto the scrapbooking album page. For example - Title Baby's first bath - lemon and sky blue card, CM girl first years' bath stickers. Once the page is assembled the pencil writing can be erased. It is a good idea to write the title on the outside of the photo packet as well.

HARLINGEN — It's a moment many local advocates on both sides of President Donald Trump's push for a border wall have been waiting for.
Tonight, city commissioners are expected to vote on a resolution opposing the plan for a border wall.
Nearly 300 area residents petitioned the city to consider the resolution, which argues the border wall would destroy native habitat critical to endangered species, Joyce Hamilton, a group leader, said yesterday.
"I'm in favor of the resolution," Mayor Chris Boswell said yesterday.
Boswell, noting the city sponsors the Rio Grande Valley Birding Festival, said he believes city commissioners also oppose the border wall's potential encroachment on native habitat.
"Most of us would agree we don't want anything to intrude on wildlife habitat," Boswell said.
Since late August, Hamilton said the group has requested Boswell and City Manager Dan Serna's office place the resolution on the agenda of a City Commission meeting.
"It was just a question of timing," Boswell said. "We had other things we needed to address."
From August to September, officials worked to finalize the city's new budget and sought new police and firefighter contracts amid collective bargaining negotiations, Boswell said.
"It was not anything about not trying to get it on (the agenda)," Boswell said. "We couldn't get it on till now."
Hamilton said the group crafted the resolution for Harlingen but also considered resolutions approved by Cameron and Hidalgo counties and 15 Valley cities.
The resolution states "the city commission of Harlingen, Texas, endorses a border security strategy on the Santa Ana National Wildlife Refuge that is minimally intrusive on natural habitat, preserving and protecting the old-growth native forest from the proposed 150-foot clearance for fencing and lighting and preserving the access for tourists and residents who have enjoyed this natural space since its dedication in 1943."
According to the resolution, "the national and international birding communities have expressed grave concern about the proposal to build levee walls through Santa Ana National Wildlife Refuge, the National Butterfly Center and other sensitive wildlife preserves along the (Rio Grande) river."
The resolution describes the existing border wall as "the most expensive and least effective means of securing the border according to security experts."
Proposed resolution opposing the proposed border wall
>> Encroaches on private property
>> Threatens to cause flooding and erosion
>> Destroys native habitat
>> Threatens Santa Ana National Wildlife Refuge

Brit began shooting the video today, and will finish up tomorrow in L.A.. The video, directed by Chris Marrs Piliero, is "very personality and action driven." It will play up Britney's sense of humor, and is "not really indicative of the song at all."
The video will open with a mock press conference, and the paparazzi will ask Britney inappropriate questions. The singer curses them out and storms off, before later discovering that they're all robots. "It seems like Britney is hung up on the press, which is ironic because for the most part they seem to be leaving her alone," our source continued.
Britney will play out fantasies in her head, which include making out with a fan, flashing a cop, and getting frisky with a hot star! Although we're not quite sure who her main man will be, our source tells us they've already reached out to Matthew McConaughey and Kellan Lutz.
The handsome actor will show up and save Britney from the paparazzi, before they hook up in the backseat of a car, where she discovers he's a robot too!
The video ends back at the press conference, where you discover that Britney was just daydreaming. She then walks off with the actor, who turns around and smiles at the camera, his eyes glaring just like those of the robot paparazzi.
Britney is going to definitely look ****, but in an edgy way – expect to see the star in combat boots, and a studded, punk-rock get-up at the press conference. "Diesel has signed on as a sponsor, and practically all the costs are being covered by sponsorships, priced around $300,000," our source said. This isn't surprising, especially since Britney's previous video, Hold It Against Me, was full of product placement.
Are you ready?!

Skip to 0 minutes and 3 seconds Hello, I am Fiona. Thank you for coming today. We are going to have a talk about your bowels, because I understand you have been having some problems with your bowels. Yes. I would just like to go through and just ask you a few questions, just to understand a little bit more about how it's affecting you. Okay. So, first of all, what sort of problems have you got with your bowel control? The problem is I don't have much control. And, how long has this been a problem? It is fairly recent. I would say in the last couple of months or so. Yeah.
Skip to 0 minutes and 30 seconds So, when you say you have not got much control, is it you can't get to the toilet in time, or? Not always. So, you are having some accidents? You could put it that way, yes. That way, yeah. Can you think of anything that happened in your life about the time that you started having these problems? Not specifically, no, not specifically. Not had any particular illnesses or accidents? No, not particularly, maybe the only thing is I was quite constipated and took some laxative at the time and then, but I stopped since then. And you've still got the problem, though you stopped the laxatives? Yes. Yeah. Yeah. And, any particular medical history relating to your bowels? Any surgery on your bowels?
Skip to 1 minute and 13 seconds Not that I can think of, no, none at all, none at all. No trauma or injury or anything to that area? No. No, no abdominal surgery or operations? No, no I have no surgery in that region, not at all. And have you had any previous bowel investigations like enemas or any..? No Nobody ever looked at your bowel or investigated your bowel at all? No. The laxatives that you took, how long did you take them for? Several weeks, several weeks. Several weeks. Yes. And it made it worse? It made it better because I was really constipated so, that kind of helped with you know the pain and all this but then its after I stopped that, I started having accidents.
Skip to 1 minute and 55 seconds And the laxatives, were they prescribed by your doctor? No. I just went and got something. From the chemist. Yes, that's right. And just ask a little bit about your food and drink about sort of how many drinks would you say you have in a day? What kind of drinks? Yes, and what type of drinks do you have? Well I drink water, maybe ten cups of coffee a day. Yes. Maybe the occasional glass of wine. So, no change to particularly your fluid intake? No, nothing different, no. And what about your diet, do you eat regular meals? I am mostly vegetarian. Yes. Try to eat healthily I suppose. Yes. And regular meals during the day? Yes, three a day if I can.
Skip to 2 minutes and 36 seconds And any significant change in your diet? Nope. And if I show you a chart here, can you tell me what sort of motion you think you pass? This is looking at different types. Type one, which is a very hard pebbles, type two which are more formed and lumpy like a sausage, type three which is again a bit more formed, type four which we consider to be sort of more normal, again sausage format, type five looks a bit like chicken nuggets, type six a bit sort of softer and fluffier, going through to seven which is a very watery stool. It would have to be a seven, yeah. So, it is very liquidy, watery. Yeah, you can put it that way, yeah.
Skip to 3 minutes and 12 seconds Loose stool that you are passing. So, would you say there has been a significant change in your bowel habit with this? Yes, quite suddenly. Yes, quite sudden, yeah. And have you ever seen any blood in your stool? Occasionally. Occasionally. Occasionally yes. Not that I look very often. Do you have any haemorrhoids or piles at all? Never checked. You've never checked. Don't know. No, I can understand that, yeah. That is a sort of slight concern if you are seeing blood in your stool. Well it is not something you are used to seeing. No, absolutely. So, it is something that we perhaps just need to follow up just to get it checked out for you. I would like to, yes.
Skip to 3 minutes and 48 seconds Yes, is that alright? Of course. And, when you have a bowel action, can you control it at all at the moment or not really? Not really. No, and that's kind of understandable with it being a loose stool, it is much more difficult for us to control a loose stool so again, that is something we need to follow up and try and understand why you have had that change. Okay. And, can you control your wind, you know your flatus that you lose. No. No and that's, that's … Never been the case. Not very nice either is it? No. No, no.
Skip to 4 minutes and 18 seconds And can you tell, you know when you do need to go, can you tell whether it is going to be liquid or if its going to be wind? Not always. No. Not always this, put it that way, there has been some accidents. And when you get the feeling you need to have your bowels open, how long can you hold for? Have you got to go straight away, or could you hold for a minute or a couple of minutes? Depends but I would say like a minute, a minute and a half, I probably could. Quite a bit of urg … Dance around but not always.
Skip to 4 minutes and 49 seconds And when you do go to the toilet and you do clean yourself, you do wipe yourself, is it easy to clean or is it sometimes..? No. No. Have you any difficulty opening your bowels when you go to the toilet? No. Its more the other way around. Holding onto, yeah. Can I ask you how you feel about the problems? How is it impacting on your life? It makes life difficult you know, just not being able to go everywhere and with confidence and things get a bit messy. Yes. And, just to refrain from doing a lot of things and it becomes a bit of a logistical nightmare.
Skip to 5 minutes and 25 seconds With the things that you have talked about, I do think we need to get you referred on to find out because of the concern about the loose stool, the blood in your stool and we need to understand why you are having this problem so that we can get you the right treatment. Okay. So, I do think we need a medical referral. It is unusual to have blood in your stool and that is something that we would want to follow up quite quickly.

Test Drive: 2019 VW Golf knows big things come in small packages
Anyone who remembers driving a 1960s or '70s Volkswagen Beetle may be surprised to learn the 2019 VW Golf actually has a smaller engine than its revered predecessor. The air-cooled engine that powered the Beetle ranged from 1 liter in pre-war models to 1.6 liters in 1970s. The standard engine in today's Golf is just 1.4 liters, with a turbocharger. But the experience of driving it is dramatically different.
In fact, the 2019 Golf's engine is significantly smaller than the 1.8-liter power plant housed under the hood of the 2018 model. Horsepower is significantly lower as well — 147, compared with 170 in the 2018 Golf we test-drove last fall. (Much more powerful 2.0-liter engine choices are available in GTI and R trim levels.)
The smaller engine in Golf S and SE versions brings two notable advantages. First, it heightens the compact car's already impressive handling qualities by reducing its weight; second, it raises fuel economy from 25 city, 34 highway, to 29/37.
And we've found these little Volkswagens exceed their highway ratings. Our 2018 Golf reached 40 mpg, while the 2019 model's fuel economy was better than 39 mpg during an 80-mile, mostly highway trip. Since the car had just 1,500 miles on its odometer, its engine was not fully broken in, so 40-plus mpg is a distinct possibility over time.
The base Golf S starts at $21,845, plus destination charge. Our test car, a Golf SE, had a sticker price of $25,045.
We were surprised to discover this Golf was quite well-equipped despite having no options. Its standard features included one of the sharpest, clearest rear-view cameras we've seen; 16-inch alloy wheels; power sunroof; front seat heaters; V-Tex leatherette upholstery; forward collision warning and pedestrian monitoring with autonomous braking; blind-spot monitor; hill-start assist; eight-inch touchscreen; satellite radio; and push-button start. A number of desirable features, including adaptive cruise control and automatic transmission, cost extra. Automatic climate control and power seats are unavailable.
The Golf's pricing, features and refinement are comparable with those of the Honda Civic and Mazda3 hatchbacks. The latter models also are available as sedans with enclosed trunks, as are the Nissan Sentra and Toyota Corolla. The Hyundai Elantra and Kia Forte hatchbacks have lower price points, but lack the Golf's European refinement and sparkling handling qualities. While there is no Golf sedan, VW also builds a SportWagen and all-wheel-drive AllTrack wagon.
While the Golf isn't as tall as some of its competitors, it manages to provide sufficient headroom for tall passengers, front and rear. Knee room also is adequate in back, assuming drivers and front-seat passengers are willing to move forward a bit.
Two of VW's stronger suits are its warranty and safety. VW's People First warranty extends bumper-to-bumper coverage to six years and 72,000 miles, whichever comes first. Meanwhile, the Golf earned five-star ratings in government crash tests in almost every category, including overall vehicle score.

(Pocket-lint) - If you've been playing Pokémon Go since day 1 you may be starting to find the game is now starting to lack the same excitement as when it was first released. There's only so many times you can catch a Pidgey, Rattata or Caterpie.
The good news is there may soon be new Pokémon on the way for you to find, catch, evolve and battle. Pokémon Go gaming community The Silph Road has found files within the game's code that refer to 100 new Pokemon, all of which are Generation 2. The new Pokémon range from #152, Chikorita and go up to #251, Celebi.
There's also reference to a new 'Transform' battle move, which likely refers to Ditto and its ability to transform into whatever Pokémon it's battling. Ditto is a Generation 1 Pokémon but so far hasn't been spotted in the wild.
The Silph Road has pointed out that no moveset data has been assigned to the new Pokémon yet and hasn't even appeared in the code, so Niantic will probably have to issue an update to the app before the Pokémon can be introduced.
The community also says it hasn't "seen re-balances and additions come back to back this quickly in the history of the game. Can't wait to see what their plans are on these new fronts! Something tells us big things are happening sooner than later...". Consider us excited.
The Gen 2 Pokémon aren't available to find just yet, so don't worry if you don't see them, but hopefully it won't be too long before they start popping up. Redditor kdpha has stated that Niantic has been pretty quick to issue updates recently, not long after the code appears.

This Chicken Chow Mein Casserole Recipe Has Its Roots in Mayberry With Andy & Aunt Bee by Donna John
Yep, Andy Griffith, Aunt Bee and the whole gang in Mayberry have probably enjoyed this easy chow mein casserole recipe – and it's been in my recipe arsenal since the early '90s. The original recipe is from "Aunt Bee's Mayberry Cookbook," and calls for butter and canned mushrooms. If you like canned mushrooms, go for it (be sure to drain them first). For me, fresh mushrooms that have been cooked until soft are the way to go, as is olive oil instead of butter. For the chicken, four large chicken thighs boiled until done and shredded works well. You can serve this over rice or on its own with a vegetable. It's been at least 10 years since I made this recipe that my kids used to love. My husband requested it again after trying it this week, so think it's back in rotation.
You'll need:
- olive oil or butter
- 1 package (8 ounces) mushrooms, sliced
- 1 cup chopped celery
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cans (10 ounces each) cream of mushroom soup
- 1/2 cup cashews
- 2-3 cups cooked, shredded chicken
- 1 large can or bag chow mein noodles
Here's how to make it:
If using fresh mushrooms, saute them in a little olive oil or butter until soft. You could also throw them in with the celery and onions and skip this step.
Cook the onions and celery in a little olive oil or butter until soft.
Add the soups, cashews, shredded chicken and 3/4 of the chow mein noodles. Mix well. Season with black pepper, to taste.
Pour into a casserole dish. Bake, uncovered, in a preheated 350-degree F oven for about 30 minutes.
Sprinkle the remaining chow mein noodles on top and bake 10 minutes more.
Take 30 seconds and join the 30Seconds community. Inspire ... and be inspired.

Grant Programme for Talent Development → Open call
Weaving of the Future
Alissa + Nienke & EE Exclusives, 2019Alissa + Nienke (Alissa van Asseldonk and Nienke Bongers) is a design studio based on the research of materials, with its own interpretation of surface design: tactile materials that stimulate or challenge us and that enhance our everyday environment. The designers usually start from an existing 'flat' material which they manipulate into a three-dimensional material with new properties and applications. Many of the installations that the studio has developed so far are closely related to textile. However, the designers have never actually worked or experimented with textile or textile techniques. For the project 'Weaving of the Future' they therefore wish to collaborate with the specialised textile industry. They have found a partner in EE Exclusives, which has been a specialist in label weaving since 1900, and is also capable technically of weaving in 3D. Together, they will investigate new weaving techniques and will experiment with the construction of materials. The ultimate goal is to create new (surface) materials that push the limits of the machines. The new materials will be added to Alissa + Nienke's Interactive Material Archive. The partnership intends to present the results at the Dutch Design Week 2019 and at DRIVE 2019, where research-through-design is presented.
This project was conditionally honored from the Open Call Space for Talent

It was nearly a week since Tanya came over when she returned with Halley. She called me and told me she would have to have Halley come over and stay for a few days or more. Tanya told me she would tell me why when she arrived. "My dad got arrested for raping a neighbor girl," said Tanya with a smile. "I don't see how that is good," I said.
"I'm going to talk to the prosecutor," said Tanya. I realized she was going to make sure her father went to jail for something. "I understand," I told her. I hade many thoughts of Halley. "Its too bad about me and my dad. I might enjoy sex more if he hadn't," said Tanya. I could tell she was thinking. "Suzy can I talk to you in another room." Suzy left Halley alone in her room. I watched the young girl as the two talked.
Tanya returned and took me into the bedroom. "I am willing to let you fuck her, if you promise to make it enjoyable like you did with Suzy," said Tanya. "Maybe if you gave me some idea how to lead off I'll take special care," I suggested. "Halley has a test due back soon and a couple of reports," said Tanya.
She pulled a hairbrush out of her purse. The next day while the girls were at school I went to the local sexshop and bought a few things. "Suzy I have something for you," I told her. I pulled out the small remote controlled anal vibrator.
She smiled excited. "Do you have one for her?" asked Suzy. "Do you like getting in trouble?" I asked Halley. "No, its just that I've been distracted," she replied. I finished spanking her bare bottom. "I have something else for you," I told her.
She turned around to put on her clothes. "No, stay like that," I said. She turned around to face the wall. I pulled out the lube.
Since she was new to this I decided to go easy on her. "What are you doing?" she asked. I rubbed a lubed finger between her as cheeks before sliding up to her asshole.
She gasped as I slid it in. I worked it in and out before I added more lube. I slid my hand up underneath and felt her pussy. It was becoming wet. I took the small vibrator from Suzy and eased it into Halley's small asshole.
I wanted to fuck her hard, but I knew I should wait. I could tell Suzy wanted to fuck as well and I decided we would get off first so I can take my time with Halley. Halley had one more test to show me, but I decided to hold off on seeing it until we returned from shopping.
I kept the vibrator on her kept to a minimum so she could control herself. Suzy really enjoyed hers. We made it into the house about two hours later. I let them girls put their stuff up. I let Halley call her mother and I went into the living room. It wasn't long before Suzy came in. She looked over to the back of the house and pulled down her pants and panties.
I slid my jeans and underwear down. My dick sprang up. Suzy eased herself down on it and started riding me. I turned up the remote and she orgasmed. It wasn't long before she had another. I closed my eyes as I approached my orgasm and Suzy stopped. I opened my eyes and looked.
Halley was watching us. "Do you want to join us?" I asked. "I don't know," she said. "I know how bad you did on your last paper so we can do something else and I won't spank you," I said. Suzy got up off me satisfied with her orgasm. "Take off your clothes," she suggested. Halley looked at me. I nodded and smiled. "Can I take this out of my butt?" she asked. I forgot she still had it there.
I handed Suzy the remote. Halley was just down to her panties. Suzy turned the remote all the way up. Halley gasped, bent over and put her hands on my knees. I reached over and felt her panties. They were soaked. I started rubbing her pussy through them. My dick twitched wanting attention. I grabbed Halley's head and lowered it to my dick.
"What do you want me to do?" she asked. "Just open your mouth and put in it," I said.
"Wasn't just in Suzy?" asked Halley. "Its okay. I'll show you how," said Suzy. She reached over and gave me few strokes with her mouth. Now I was really worked up. Halley tried it the same way Suzy did. It didn't take long for me to be about to cum.
I didn't know whether I should hold her head down and force my dick to stay in her mouth or let her see it as it happened. "I'm going to cum," I told her. Halley looked at me with my dick still in her mouth. She tried to talk and I lost it. Cum shot out of my dick and into the back of her throat. She sat up but not before several more shots hit her in the face. "You did very good." She smiled at me.
"Tanya said I could show you something if we can go back into the bedroom," I told her. "Is it what our dad showed her?" she asked. "What did he show her?" I asked. "How to have sex and that's where I came from," she said. She looked ashamed. "When did he tell you that?" I asked. "The day I was leaving. I was afraid my mom would leave me with him if I let her know I knew," she said. "We all know and you shouldn't be afraid, because its not your fault.
Your mom and Suzy enjoy sex alot and I can help you enjoy it.
I won't be like your father," I told her. She smiled at me.

UP Anti-Terrorism Squad arrests three terror suspects
New Delhi: Three terror suspects have been arrested in joint raids by Uttar Pradesh Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) in coordination with police of five states, officials said on Thursday.
Three persons were arrested on suspicion of terror-related activities in a massive operation carried out simultaneously in Mumbai, Jalandhar, Narkatiaganj in Bihar, Bijnor and Muzaffarnagar.
"UP ATS conducted joint anti-terror raids in Maharashtra, Punjab, Bihar, Andhra Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh in coordination with police of the five states," UP ATS Chief Asim Arun said.
"The police is interrogating six other persons. Legal action will be taken on the basis of evidence," he said.
In a joint operation by UP ATS and STF, two people were arrested after a raid was carried out at a mosque in Bijnor's Barhapur area. The ATS had received intelligence that some known terror suspects in West UP had become active and were recruiting new members in preparation to carry out a terror strike.
The operation was conducted with the help of the Special Cell of Delhi Police, Crime Investigation Cell of Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra ATS , Punjab Police and Bihar Police.
Early on Thursday morning, the raid team led by ATS arrested Muhammad Fauzan and Muhammad Tanveer, who were on their way to the mosque for morning prayers.

ANKARA, Nov. 5 -- Chechen President Aslan Maskhadov says the rebellious Russian republic has proclaimed itself the Chechen Islamic Republic. Maskhadov, who is in Antalya, Turkey, on a visit, says Chechnya will now be governed by the laws of Islam.
The Chechen leader previously said Chechnya would be renamed the republic of Ichkeria. It is not clear if that name has been dropped. Chechnya has already introduced Islamic courts and at least four people have been sentenced to death for crimes under Sharia law. Russian President Boris Yeltsin says the executions under Islamic law are 'barbaric' and 'a throwback to the Middle Ages.' Chechnya, which has claimed it is an independent republic, has not been recognized by any country in the world. The republic continues to be part of the Russian Federation after a 21-month war for independence ended in a peace treaty and a pull-out of Russian forces. In Moscow, there was no immediate reaction to the announcement. ---

Charlie Perkins was a teenager when he became interested in flying.
Back then – circa 1910 – the teen could not have known his legacy would live on in Surrey for decades to come in a rather interesting way – in a tree along Highway 1.
The Perkins family moved to the Fraser Valley from Vancouver around 1907, packing up their belongings on a sternwheeler and heading up the river to the area of Port Kells.
The family would pitch a tent in the bush before building their home.
"There was quite a flying enthusiasm in B.C. at the time," said Charlie's son, Larry Perkins.
"I don't know where dad got an interest in flying but he joined up with a group of young fellows and they canvassed and borrowed and begged for money and formed the B.C. Aero Club."
They brought a "rickety old plane" up from the states to practise and learn on. Later, in about 1915, they built their own plane that they flew out of what is now Pitt Meadows Airport.
Then the war came.
"Everybody joined up and because dad had a smatter of what it is to fly and the rudiments of flying, he was put into the Royal Flying Corp (as a flight instructor in Ontario) because there wasn't a Canadian military flight. He learned all the tricks of flying planes and maneuvering and machine guns."
He returned home from the First World War in 1919.
"But when he got back, there was this big tree. And that tree was on the property that grandpa bought," recalled Larry.
A common misconception is that Charlie planted the tree. The family says it was actually about 300 years old. Charlie's memorial was the ivy he planted.
"What he did was he cleared the area around the tree, planted the ivy on the tree and made a little bit of a park. It was a memento honouring those who flew or tried to fly. Those who came home and those that didn't come home. And that was the significance of the tree in the family."
When plans were announced for the Trans-Canada Highway (now Highway 1), Charlie learned it was set to run right through his property – and the area including the tree.
A fight began to save it.
"Dad started to get the community up and support him to save the tree," said Larry.
"With a lot of letter-writing and support from friends and neighbours, he finally contacted 'Flying' Phil Gaglardi, head of the highways department. I recall being there when he came out. Dad and I and he walked down the skid road to the base of the tree and dad explained the whole story.
"He just took a look at the map they had and said, 'Well, we'll just go around it.' And they did. And that was that."
Though the tale goes that Charlie sat in front of the tree with a shotgun in an attempt to save it, Larry says that's not the case.
"There is absolutely no truth to the report that dad sat in the chair with a shotgun when the bulldozers came," he insisted.
"He wasn't that type of person. I remember him commenting to me that you can't stand in the way of progress. And the highway was progress."
Even before the highway was built, Charlie placed a wreath on the tree – a tradition that would continue for decades.
"Others then took over doing it," explained Larry. "He did it right up until he was in his 80s."
"I believe it was the Whalley Legion or a member of it that got things going also, and whether they're the group that puts the wreaths there now or not, I don't know. I never did," Larry said.
"Dad took care of that."
After the war, Charlie never flew again.
Larry believes he lost his love for flying during the war. It was as though the plane had become a killing machine to him.
"He said he just didn't want to fly anymore. He said he could have, but he'd gone and done what needed to be done, saw things he didn't need to see and survived crashes so it was time to come home and farm the place."
Charlie later became a road former for Surrey, building many of the city's main roads over the years.
He died at 92.
His grandson, Mike Perkins, who lives with his family in Cloverdale, drives by his tree on a regular basis.
The historic Douglas Fir can be seen on the south side of Highway 1 just west of 192nd Avenue, though it can be hard to catch when driving by.
In front of the tree, a white sign identifies it as "Charlie's Tree." The ivy that Charlie planted decades ago is now thick and has climbed up the tree.
On the tree is a Canadian flag, a cross and a plaque that reads "1919," a wreath and other tokens. Though the family doesn't know who puts wreaths there, a few always seem to pop up this time of year.
Over the years, vandals have set fire to the tree. And when it appeared the tree was dying, it was topped.
It stands at about 30 feet.
Mike said in addition to honour, a great lesson he learned from his grandfather was to respect nature.
"He was a naturalist long before the term really existed. There was a chunk of property on the farm that was fenced off, the cattle weren't allowed to go in there, it was his park. There were trilliums and bleeding hearts, and we learned to leave thing like that alone," said Mike.
"I just look at (Charlie's Tree) and marvel at the fact that even my grandparents looked at it and didn't see something that needed to be cut down," he continued.
"They left it. That's something I got from my grandfather, actually, that fact that you didn't need to destroy everything, you could preserve some things. That's what I see when I see that tree."

MONDAY FEBUARY 11 NEWS and RESULTS FROM VOLUSIA SPEEDWAY
Posted by Racerchaser

Re: MONDAY FEBUARY 11 NEWS and RESULTS FROM VOLUSIA SPEEDWAY
Revised rules require tire rationing at Volusia
What's old is new again on the UMP DirtCar Series. The racing organization that ditched its 20-year-old tire rule in 2005 returns to that four-compound rule this week at Volusia Speedway Park after utilizing a two-tire rule the past three seasons.
That's causing a scramble Monday afternoon in the Volusia pits as teams buy the newly-legal LM-10 and LM-30 rubber from two Hoosier Tire trucks behind turn two. The teams of Bryan Barber, Terry Casey and Brady Smith were among the first in line to get get the tires under a rationing system instituted by UMP and Hoosiers.
When teams registered for Monday's racing, UMP officials provided them a voucher that allotted each team no more than eight of the newly-produced tires. The $160 tires can't be purchased without vouchers for the time being, said Hoosier product manager Shanon Rush. That prevents teams from hording tires and guarantees each team a chance to buy each of the four compounds.
"That was the simplest solution we came up with together," Rush said of Hoosier's coordination with UMP.
Full production of the newly available UMP tires began a week ago and the rubber was shipping to Florida on Friday at noon. Rush didn't want to reveal exactly how many tires were shipped, but they expected it to be enough for virtually every team that wants new tires to buy them on Monday. Sales and rationing plans for the rest of the week will be determined, Rush said, and more tires should be shipped to the track during the week.
Hoosier's Lakeville, Ind., plant, operating 24 hours a day each weekday, juggled productions schedules to make sure the newly legal compounds would be ready for Volusia. "We had to turn the entire plant upside down," Rush said. "It was a thrash."
The return to the four-tire rule was triggered by a widespread tire-cheating scandal during Golden Isles Speedway's Super Bowl of Racing IV in January. UMP's previous tire rule � allowing only LM-20s and LM-40s � was abused by teams using chemical softeners to make the 20s softer and gain more traction. Following Scott Bloomquist's Jan. 28 disqualification, Golden Isles stripped the UMP sanctioning. On Jan. 31, UMP announced a return to its original rule of LM-10s (softest), LM-20s (soft), LM-30s (hard) and LM-40s (hardest), saying a consideration of returning to the four-tire rule had been in the works before the Golden Isles fracas.
The return of the LM-30 brings back an identical tire to pre-2005, Rush said, but the LM-10 is a "more aggressive" tire that's somewhat softer than its previous version.
Teams with unused LM-20s and LM-40s can swap them for 10s and 20s as part of the voucher program, Rush said. But a team buying their maximum eight tires doled out $1,280.

Re: MONDAY FEBUARY 11 NEWS and RESULTS FROM VOLUSIA SPEEDWAY
Pre-race notebook
Drivers received a single lap of qualifying. ...
The event was the first since UMP returned to a four-tire rule, adding LM-10s and LM-30s to the LM-20s and LM-40s. Hoosier rationed the tires for the opener, allowing each team eight tires apiece at $160 a pop. ...
Shane Clanton of Locust Grove, Ga., withdrew from the event after consulting with car owner Ronnie Dobbins. Clanton said he didn't want to pay for the $160 tires, a price higher than he's usually charged for UMP tires from his Hoosier dealer. ...
Scott James fielded the Gerstner Plumbing car fielded part-time last year by Randy Korte and fielded last week at East Bay Raceway Park by Brian Shirley. ...
Shirley made his first 2008 start in his Ed Petroff-backed No. 3s at Volusia. ...
DirtonDirt.com will provide live updates at Volusia through Thursday night's action. ...
Ohio driver Matt Miller, who regularly drives the Illinois-based Moring Motorsports entry, is piloting an M&M Trucking entry as a teammate to Florida driver Jason Fitzgerald. ...
Jeff Isabell of Pennellville, N.Y., got into the turn-one wall in qualifying. He was able to drive back to the pits. ...
Chassis builder C.J. Rayburn of Whitesville, Ind., made his first Georgia-Florida Speedweeks start. ...
The temperature at time trials was about 65 degrees.
Ivedent Lloyd Jr. of Ocala, Fla., who has turned more laps at Volusia Speedway Park than perhaps any other driver entered, blazed to the fast qualifying time on the opening night of the 37th annual Alltel DirtCar Nationals. Lloyd posted a time of 16.139 seconds at the D-shaped half-mile track to top 79 qualifiers in the UMP DirtCar competition.
Lloyd will start on the pole of the third heat race, one of the preliminaries before the night's $7,000-to-win main event.

Re: MONDAY FEBUARY 11 NEWS and RESULTS FROM VOLUSIA SPEEDWAY
The top three finishers in six heat races and two two finishers in three consolation races will transfer to Monday's 30-lap main event.
First heat;
Polesitter Justin Rattliff led all the way for an eight-lap victory. Behind him, a battle of 44s developed midway through the race with third-starting Earl Pearson Jr. taking second from Clint Smith on the fifth lap. Smith settled for the third and final transfer spot while Patrick Sheltra was running fourth on the final lap but spun in turn four. Matt Miller moved up to finish fourth. The race was marred by Andrew Reaume's backstretch flip following a lap-two restart. Reaume's car caught the guardrail exiting turn two and his car flipped down the backstretch as a red flag appeared. The car was heavily damage but the Canadian was uninjured. The first caution appeared on the second lap for a Steve Francis spin. A turn-four jumble on the restart saw Scott James and Jake Redetke spin before retaking the green.
(1) Justin Rattliff, (2) Earl Pearson Jr., (3) Clint Smith, (4) Matt Miller, (5) Steve Francis, (6) Scott James, (7) Jason McBride, (8) John Blankenship, (9) Danny Johnson, (10) D.Jay Miller, (11) Audie Swartz, (12) Patrick Sheltra, (13) Andrew Reaume, (14) Jake Redetzke.
Second heat;
Polesitter Jimmy Owens, back in form after struggling at East Bay Raceway Park last week, raced to an easy victory over fellow front-row starter Darren Miller. Miller wasn't threatened in collecting the second spot while Don O'Neal took third in the caution-plagued prelim. Fifth-starting Dan Stone was fourth after taking the spot from Dave Hess Jr. with a lap and a half to go. Rick Eckert was running in the third and final transfer spot, but he never got up to speed on a lap-four restart and pulled out. A Brian Shirley-Jackie Boggs collision on the second-lap restart triggered another collision between Michael Kloos and G.R. Smith, who got bound up on the frontstretch heading for turn one. Smith also climbed the frontstretch wall to bring out a lap-six caution and Jeff Alsip brought out two cautions, the first for a lap-two spin in turn three and the second for lap-four spin in turn four.
(1) Jimmy Owens, (2) Darren Miller, (3) Don O'Neal, (4) Dan Stone, (5) Ricky Elliott, (6) Dave Hess Jr., (7) Dave Tyrchniewicz, (8) Jackie Boggs, (9) Chuck Julien.
Third heat;
Billy Moyer got the initial jump on fast qualifier and front-row starter Ivedent Lloyd Jr. and steadily pulled away for an easy victory. Lloyd lost the second spot to Eddie Carrier Jr. on a second-lap restart in turn two, but held on to the final transfer position. Dan Schlieper nearly got the third spot before Lloyd recovered from his battle with Carrier, but ended up settling for fourth. Chris Madden got up into the turn-one wall on the initial start and never completed a lap. Joe Isabell spun in turn three to draw a second-lap caution.
1) Billy Moyer, (2) Eddie Carrier Jr, (3) Ivedent Lloyd Jr., (4) Dan Schlieper, (5) Dillon Wood, (6) Lance Matthees, (7) Duke Whiseant, (8) Mike Knight, (9) Jeep Van Wormer, (10) Joe Isabell, (11) Luke Roffers.
Fourth heat;
Outside front-row starter Billy Decker took command from polesitter Shannon Babb at the outset and held off Babb for the victory. Darrell Lanigan held the third spot throughout the race while Dennis Erb Jr., rebounding from a poor qualifying time, ended up fourth. Babb's teammate, NASCAR Sprint Cup star Clint Bowyer, finished fifth. A lap-four caution appeared when John Melvin stopped in turn two.
(1) Billy Decker, (2) Shannon Babb, (3) Darrell Lanigan, (4) Dennis Erb Jr., (5) Clint Bowyer, (6) Vic Coffey, (7) Rodney Melvin, (8) Frank Heckenast Jr., (9) Bryan Barber, (10) Andrew McKay, (11) John Melvin, (12) Brian Dively, (13) John Garvin Jr.
Fifth heat;
Polesitter Tim McCreadie, looking better than he's looked any time during Georgia-Florida Speedweeks, cruised to an easy victory over Wendell Wallace in a race highlighted by a Chub Frank-Terry Casey clash. Frank was running a comfortable third when Casey, moments after taking fourth from Steve Shaver, tried a lap-four slide job on Frank. Casey drifted up into the high-running Frank, who spun exiting turn two. The caution waved and as the field came around, Frank drove backwards into turn two and pulled directly in front of Casey. After pausing for a moment, Frank drove over the right side of Casey's nose as he pulled away with a flat tire. Casey went on to finish third.
(1) Tim McCreadie, (2) Wendell Wallace, (3) Terry Casey, (4) Steve Shaver, (5) Brandon Kinzer, (6) Jared Hawkins, (7) Jason Fitzgerald, (8) J.R. Hotovy, (9) C.J. Rayburn, (10) Don Gordon, (11) Chub Frank.
Sixth heat;
Polesitter Josh Richards got the jump heading into turn one, but Tim Fuller pulled alongside Richards on the backstretch and slide under Richards exiting turn four to take command. Fuller pulled away for a victory while Richards struggled after a lap-two restart, dropping to fourth behind Brady Smith and Boom Briggs. Fourth-starting Smith had a firm control on the second spot, but Richards was able to work past Briggs for the third and final transfer spot. Briggs faded to finish a distant fourth. Billy Faust's early spin drew the race's lone caution.
(1) Tim Fuller, (2) Brady Smith, (3) Josh Richards, (4) Boom Briggs, (5) Wayne Chinn, (6) Jeff Isabell, (7) Billy Faust, (8) Don Gordon, (9) Tyler Ivey.
50/50 was $1091.00
First consolation;
Surviving a near-spin early in the race, Steve Francis gathered up his car and tracked down polesitter Matt Miller to make the winning pass just before the halfway point of the 10-lap feature. That left Miller in a dogfight with Scott James and Ricky Elliott for the second spot, and James inched ahead on the seventh lap then pulled away as Miller dropped to fourth behind Elliott at the finish of the caution-free affair. Miller jumped into the early lead and Francis tried to dive under him in turn three, but got nearly completely sideways before saving the car. Far behind Miller, Francis turned up the wick and tracked down the lead for a lap-four pass exiting turn four.
(1) Steve Francis, (2) Scott James, (3) Ricky Elliott, (4) Matt Miller, (5) Rick Eckert, (6) Brian Shirley, (7) Dan Stone, (8) Dave Hess Jr.
Second consolation;
Roaring into the lead from outside the front row, Dennis Erb Jr. dominated the 10-lapper as he put memories of a poor qualifying lap behind him. Sixth-starting Vic Coffey moved up early and took the second and final transfer spot from polesitter Dan Schlieper on the fourth lap. Schlieper couldn't keep up with Coffey, who nearly caught Erb, and settled for third with Duke Whiseant fourth. NASCAR Sprint Cup driver Clint Bowyer started outside the second row but got too high in turn two on the first lap and finished sixth.
(1) Dennis Erb Jr., (2) Vic Coffey, (3) Dan Schlieper, (4) Duke Whiseant, (5) Lance Matthees, (6) Clint Bowyer, (7) Jeep Van Wormer.
Third consolation
Polesitter Steve Shaver kept third-starting Brandon Kinzer at bay throughout the race for a victory as the drivers locked up the race's two transfer spots. Finishing third, a straightaway behind the frontrunners, was fourth-starting Wayne Chinn while Billy Faust rallied to finish fourth. Boom Briggs started outside the front row but dropped back early, then pulled out on the seventh lap. Jared Hawkins spun on the second lap to bring out the race's lone caution.
(1) Steve Shaver, (2) Brandon Kinzer, (3) Wayne Chinn, (4) Billy Faust, (5) Tyler Ivey, (6) Jared Hawkins, (7) C.J. Rayburn, (8) Jeff Isabell, (9) J.R. Hotovy, (10) Reid Millard, (11) George Scheffler, (12) Mike Hammerle

Different Florida Speedweeks track, same Florida Speedweeks results. Billy Moyer of Batesville, Ark., stayed red-hot in the Sunshine State on Monday with his third consecutive victory and fourth in his last five starts as he picked up $7,000 in the opener of Volusia Speedway Park's Alltel DirtCar Nationals.
Starting outside the front row, Moyer dueled with polesitter Jimmy Owens in a side-by-side battle the first three laps, then slipped into the low groove and pulled away unchallenged the remainder of the 30-lapper sanctioned by the UMP DirtCar Series.
Moyer's previous three victories came in Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series competition at East Bay Raceway Park, where he earned more than $38,000 in winning purses and points bonuses over a six-day stretch.
"Everything's going good, the car's great, the tires, my sponsors involved, all the guys that work on it, you can't do it with all of them guys. We just thank 'em all," Moyer said in victory lane at Volusia, which hosted the first of six nights of racing. "The car just has just got that feeling to it that I like. I could tell it from first time we unloaded up there at Brunswick two weeks ago. We've just fine-tuned on little things and it seems like we continually get it better with small adjustments, and that makes it nice for me."
Owens, who tried the high side on the final restart at lap 26, faded to finish fourth while seventh-starting Earl Pearson Jr. moved up to finish second in a home-state run. Consolation race winner Steve Francis rallied throughout the race and ended up third with Owens and Eddie Carrier Jr. rounding out the top five.
Third-starting Justin Rattliff held the third spot much of the way, but dropped out while running fifth on the 25th lap. Shannon Babb, who started 10th, was running fifth on the final lap when he limped home 14th with a flat tire.
Owens, on the inside, and Moyer, on the outside, battled the first few laps with Moyer officially leading lap one and Owens taking over for laps two and three. But after that, Owens slipped high in turn two and Moyer grabbed the inside groove and a lead he'd never give up.
Moyer was starting to move through lapped traffic by the time Tim McCreadie pulled up in turn four to draw a lap-11 caution with Moyer leading Owens, Rattliff, Billy Decker and Pearson.
On the restart, Rattliff was shuffled back to fifth while Decker's high-side charge appeared to pay dividends. But Decker nearly lost control in turn four on the 13th lap and faded from contention while Francis, who restarted ninth after 11 laps, was quickly into the top five.
With 10 laps remaining, Moyer had a half-straightaway advantage on Owens while Pearson, Francis and Rattliff gave chase. Rattliff's race ended when he stopped in turn two on the 25th lap, setting up the final restart. Owens jumped to a high side that hadn't been productive in the last half of the race, and that allowed Pearson and Francis to slip past in the final laps.
Moyer's victory gives him four wins overall in the Georgia-Florida Speedweeks, one more than Owens, who had three victories at Golden Isles Speedway's Super Bowl of Racing IV in Brunswick, Ga.
