Theory, basic knowledge and skills, and practical applications combine to ensure pre-service and in-service teachers have all that they need to make diagnosis and improvement an integral part of their reading programs. Based on the authors' premise that when assessment and instruction are central to a reading program, children's reading improvement will occur, the book sets the stage for effective reading diagnosis and improvement, describes various assessment measures teachers can use to assess and diagnose students' reading performance, and presents reading content and instruction. Comprehensive, practical, and comprehensible, this new edition is updated and substantially revised in light of the new discoveries related to reading assessment and reading instruction.

text: New British Army armoured vehicles I noticed about half way down the page that the British Army are introducing something called the Buffalo. The picture reminded me of a certain vehicle that we had back in the 80's in SA & SWA. The Buffel (Afrikaans for Buffalo) idea spawned a whole genre of vehicles, with the Casspir becoming one of the most iconic. It was made famous during our times hunting those pesky SWAPO insurgents in the north of SWA and southern Angola. I have felt for a long time that the British Army is some 25 years behind when it comes to armoured vehicles with mine protection. We have been in Iraq and Afghanistan for quite a few years now, and the number of lives that might have been saved if they had had Casspirs would have, in my opinion, been considerable. Whilst they were vulnerable to RPG's (as are snatch's), at least they can take a boosted anti-tank mine. The vehicles would suffer considerable damage and all the guys got were cuts, bruises and the occasional broken limb. We South Africans developed so much amazing military kit and COIN doctrine. I would love to see the FireForce concept used in Afghanistan. I would also like to see a lot more of the way we used to operate brought into the British Army, a lot less red tape and H&S crap, more improvise, adapt and overcome. Jan

In the past, allegations of discrimination have tended to focus on gender and race, yet what Gary Slapper's study confirms is that the system's refusal to properly investigate and prosecute companies is an even more endemic form of bias.
Since 1998, the police have been involved in the investigation of workplace deaths, but they receive no training in the investigation of what may be very large corporations. The Crown Prosecution Service also appears to prefer to blame a worker whose conduct might have been the immediate cause of the death, rather than a director who has established or implemented (or failed to establish or implement) policies in a grossly negligent manner.
Furthermore, not only, do 89 per cent of major injuries remain uninvestigated, but the Heath and Safety Executive - in the cases it does investigate - never considers whether a company has acted recklessly, so justifying a prosecution for corporate grievous bodily harm.
Unless the Government undertakes a proper review of the way workplace deaths and injuries are investigated and prosecuted, this country will continue to have a two-track system of justice, with companies being beyond the law.

A funny thing has happened in the city of Baltimore. For the first time, Ravens fans actually expect their team to make a playoff run. Led by a tenacious defense that has allowed a meager 2.1 yards per carry, virtually every football expert picks the Ravens to strangle the young Browns for another victory. What no analyst could foresee was how John "Big Dawg" Thompson and a faulty bleacher wall would combine to undermine the Ravens' athletic defense.
With five minutes gone in the second quarter, and the Ravens nursing a 3-0 lead, Ravens DT Tony Siragusa falls on a Marc Edwards fumble at the Raven's ten yard line. Celebrating with middle linebacker Ray Lewis, Siragusa runs to the Dawg Pound wall and taunts the fans. Enraged, Browns fans hurl insults and beer cups at the players, pushing forward until the interior wall buckles under the weight. Out spills John "Big Dawg" Thompson, all 450 trademarked pounds of him. Lewis and Siragusa collapse like a cheap card table beneath the massive superfan, and it takes half a dozen men nearly 15 minutes to lift the unconscious Big Dawg off the Ravens defenders. Both players are lost for the game.
When play resumes, the tables turn quickly. Courtney Brown swipes the ball out of the grasp of a scrambling Tony Banks and Ravens running back Jamal Lewis scoops up the loose ball, foolishly running backward to avoid onrushing defenders. The rookie gets planted like a fence post in the end zone by Jamir Miller, giving the Browns a quick safety. The very next play, Dennis Northcutt returns a short Kyle Richardson punt for a touchdown. And just like that, the Browns lead 9 to 3.
With the Browns defense limiting Lewis to just five yards on 10 carries in the first half, Billick is forced to go with the pass. Three incompletions later, the Browns offense goes to work. Northcutt has a big day, zipping past the wizened Rod Woodson for a pair of long receptions from Tim Couch and setting up a spirited seven yard TD run by Errict Rhett. Rhett can be heard taunting the entire Ravens defense as he rumbles his way into the end zone for a 16-3 lead just before the half.
Billick is unhappy, but Raven's VP David Modell is out of hand. Art is on the speakerphone, screaming at his son from a secure bunker in Baltimore. Never one to enjoy pressure, David begins snorting lines of coke off the glass table in the luxury box. At least his drug-addled antics allow him to miss another woeful spectacle, as Chris Palmer calls an onsides kick that Darrin Chiaverini scoops up and returns to the Ravens 30 yard line. One play later, the Browns score again on a Couch-to-Johnson classic.
Just like that, Brian Billick reverts to his old Blame Game tactics. Trailing by 20 points at the half, Billick fires the special teams coach, suspends the defensive backfield coach, and chews into the players. He blames the boom mike guy for a missed extra point, the Goodyear Blimp for a dropped Raghib Ismail pass, and the Cleveland field crew for a twisted ankle suffered by QB Tony Banks. In fact, Billick blames everyone and everything except himself. Billick talks so much that he actually loses his voice, causing his team to miss a critical third-and-long substitution that could have kept the game within 100 points. Billick blames coal-fired power plants for the lost voice, by the way.
Upstairs, David Modell is reenacting a scene from Altered States, howling like an animal and bashing his frame against the walls. He finally crashes right out of the high luxury box and falls more than a hundred feet onto unsuspecting Ravens fullback Obafemi Ayanbadejo. Sportscasters everywhere rejoice when Ayanbedjo is lost for the season. Sam Gash is much easier to pronounce.
Final score? Browns 177, Ravens 3
And that's the way I see it. GMD

Papillon is one of my all-time favorites films. Steve McQueen is fantastic in the lead role. Dustin Hoffman is at his finest as Louie Dega. Very memorable, unforgettable performances, shocking action scenes and psychological thrills and twists. I cannot write enough good things about this film. After years of looking, I recently found this film on DVD and added it to my collection. This is the kind of movie that you can watch again and again and continue to see things you've never noticed before. This film never gets old and you never grow tired of watching Papillon. Some of the cast includes Vic Tayback also known as Mel from the hit TV series "Alice." He is convincing as a mean, surly prison guard. Also, Billy Tumy known for his role in "Lost in Space" as Will Robinson, plays a young, doomed inmate. There are other character actors included in the cast that you will more than likely recognize throughout the film. I give this film the strongest and highest of recommendations.

A patient wakes up from surgery and hears the biopsy is normal. A parent with a car full of children narrowly avoids an accident. A football player learns that his injured knee is only a mild sprain instead of a devastating ligament tear. A college student unexpectedly does well on an exam. A family realizes the tornado has not damaged their home. The promotion at work finally happened.
All of these events often have one thing in common. Many, if not all, of the people involved will utter some form of gratitude to God for their survival or good fortune.
These moments provide an opportunity to speak of Christ. Careful, concerned questions may be asked that can lead to the gospel. For example, when someone says, "thank the good Lord, that was close!" Look for an opportunity to talk about what was said. Perhaps something like this:
"Hey Joe, that really was a close call."
"Yep, the man upstairs was looking after me."
"Well, no doubt about that. Joe, we are friends, right? Well, as your friend let me ask you a question. You are happy to acknowledge that God just saved your life. Why wouldn't you want him to tell you how to live your life?"
"Excuse me?"

Keeping All the Balls in the Air
I was home all afternoon and you'd think I would have gotten a lot of writing done today, but I found myself very unfocused, and I dabbled a little here and there on different things, but nothing got really done (at least to my satisfaction). I did more of the business side of writing than the writing today. Which that is all necessary, but I found today that I was oddly dissatisfied with just doing that. I guess that's good right, that I miss making my 1,000 word count goal for the day.I know there was a time that as long as I worked on something (not necessarily writing) that I'd be happy with my progress, but it ain't doing it for me today. And though it is late I plan on popping Word up as soon as I sign off here.

When I'm dissatified, and remember to do it, I can change the energy in myself by doing stretching exercises....or aerobic exercise. Emotional states can be altered by body movement...the muscles hold emotions and getting them moving releases stuff.....ReplyDelete
We've been going through lot's of stuff, things breaking, things not working, the physical world throwing all kinds of curve balls at us...but, prayer and taking each task one at a time is getting us through all of this. This mornings challenge was taking scott to the airport where he is rebuilding the transmission in the little car, and having a little less than a quarter of a tank of gas, then stopping at the gas station only to find the lock on the gas tank door stuck. So, I had enough to take the medium sized truck back to the ranch only to skillfully blast it up the icy dirt road.

The players struggled all day in the teeth of a fierce easterly wind after Mike Roseberry had put Northamptonshire into bat in the vague hope that his seam bowlers might have used the damp conditions to their advantage. There had been no play on Thursday.
Roseberry will not have been entirely unhappy at the way things turned out either. His 21-year-old fast bowler, Melvyn Betts, starting his third season with Durham with the modest tally of 128 wickets to his name, not only took 4 for 99, his best figures, but also showed that his control has greatly improved.
He has a sprinter's approach to the wicket over 20 paces, he bowls from reasonably close to the stumps and for a time more than justified the three slips and a gully his captain gave him. Bowling downwind for the most part he raised a lively pace and moved the ball away from the right- handers.
In the latter part of the morning, when Northamptonshire lost three wickets in 212 balls, he found an excellent partner in Michael Foster, a 23-year- old all-rounder whose career has already taken him from Yorkshire to Northamptonshire and on to Durham. Yesterday, he was celebrating the award of a two-year contract with Durham.
He has a strong pair of shoulders and also bowls from close to the stumps, moving the ball towards the slips at just about medium pace. He and Betts shared those first three wickets and might well have had more.
Northamptonshire were given a solid start by Richard Montgomerie and Alan Fordham, who put on 69, Fordham contributing two massive pulls for six. These two and Mal Loye were then out in quick succession before Rob Bailey and Russell Warren steadied the innings with a stand of 68.
Roseberry was strangely reluctant to bring back Betts after lunch, but when he did so Warren drove loosely and was caught in the gully. Earlier Collingwood had marked his first-class debut with a fine catch two-handed to his left at second slip which accounted for Montgomerie.
At 176 for 4, he came on to bowl and with his first ball yorked David Capel. Two runs later Bailey drove Betts tamely to mid-off but two dropped slip catches, excusable in this temperature, allowed Kevin Curran and Tony Penberthy to give the Northamptonshire score a more respectable look.

Nereledge Inn B&B - North Conway
Peaceful stay in a great area.
The service was very good. The house is clean and serviceable. Steve cooks a good breakfast and is very helpful and knowledgeable about the area. The family is completely unintrusive. They never pry into your business as happens at some B&Bs. If you want privacy you can have as much as you need. Alice the housekeeper is always happy and pleasant to interact with. And, of course, she keeps the rooms in very clean condition. The area is amazing. Much in the way of hiking, photography or shopping or dining. North Conway and the surrounding area have an amazing balance of stuff to do in town and many world-class natural areas to get away to.

Got the cold chill.
Looked forward to revisiting this 1784 establishment. Love having breakfast with other visitors from other countries. But this time few guests returned at peek leaf peeping season. May be due to when I was there the heat was turned off for two day. Being I'm from CA , I had to sleep in my clothes.

North Conway Nereledge Inn B&B - we'll go back!
This is a rustic place that is very well maintained by the owners. The floors creak and aren't perfectly level, and we loved it! Wandering about the first floor, we could practically hear the walls and floors tell their story of days gone by. We enjoyed movies on the TV in the Old Tavern room at night, and sipping coffees on the front porch watching cars go by in the morning. Breakfast was excellent! No special frills but well worth the fare.

Friendly, knowledge local
Proprietor very nice and knowledgeable of the area. Printed out Mt Washington conditions, offered very good restaurant recommendation. Good bfast & clean even if décor is a mish-mosh. Would stay again.
Nereledge Inn B&B - North Conway
A GREAT find! We'll definitely stay again.
Exactly what we were looking for in a B&B. The price was right for August in North Conway, and the location was awesome! Walkable to North Conway village shops, and we felt very welcome while enjoying privacy. Its an older house with lots of charm and quirks, which we LOVED. The innkeepers were very welcoming and the breakfasts they made were delicious! GREAT place to crash for a few nights while enjoying everything the North Country has to offer.

|Azalea Plants
Common names: azalea
Description: These low, woody shrubs have leathery, dark green leaves and 3- to 6-inch clusters of red, orange, coral, pink, white or purple flowers. They make excellent blooming plants.
Special care: Check daily. Keep the soil moist but not wet. Apply water directly to the root medium. Keep the foliage and flowers dry to prevent fungal diseases. Do not use fertilizer. Place azaleas in bright, indirect light. Blooming life is two to four weeks or more, depending on cultivar. Leaf drop may be caused by dry soil, intense shade or cool temperatures combined with intense light. Pinch off new, green shoots that extend beyond the flowers.
Ask your florist about plants.

Page 3 Beliefs and customs of Spain (Part I.) – Catching a man/courtshipIn Spanish traditional society people turn to Saint Anthony and Saint Rita in such matters. Here is a listing of various practices used for finding a husband. By Valter Linda.Page 4 ObituariesSzabados György (1939 – June 10, 2011). Composer, pianist, 2011 recipient of the Kossuth Prize, founding figure in Hungarian improvisational jazz.Dobszay László (1935 – August 26, 2011). Music historian, scholar, former director of the research department of the Hungarian Institute of Musicology, president of the Széchenyi Academy of Literature and Art 2008 – April 2011.Page 5 New recording: Szokolay Dongó Balázs and Bolya Mátyás: TáncláncSelections from music they wrote to accompany the Duna Ensemble's dance performance entitled "Örökkön-örökké". "...sometimes barbaric, sometimes meditative, other times with the wit of wandering musicians, or with the artistry and propensity for improvisation of court musicians, and at times having the raw sound of peasant music." Review by Kiss Ferenc.Page 6 The koboz debateBolya Mátyás voices his complaints about a volume published by the Hungarian Heritage House at the beginning of 2011: Koboziskola (by Horváth Gyula). The book is a study of the koboz (or coboz) – the plucked instrument used both by traditional musicians in Moldavia and by musicians of the Hungarian traditional music revival. The publication includes a DVD and bases lessons for learning to play the instrument on the playing styles of two traditional Moldavian musicians. Page 9 Németh László, who wrote the introduction for and edited the above-mentioned Hungarian Heritage House publication, Koboziskola (by Horváth Gyula, 2011), responds to Bolya Mátyás' complaints on pages 6-8. folkMAGazin has included great photographs of traditional koboz players with both these articles. Page 12 Kóka Rozália's children's columnMyths of Hungary's King István, the Nyitra Castle and the King's nephew Vászoly. Nyitra, once part of the royal Hungarian territories, is located today in Slovakia. From a book by Szombathy Viktor, printed in Bratislava, 1979. Page 14 The Transylvanian village of Szék received the Hungarian Heritage Award on June 18th, 2011. Because of its unique Hungarian traditional culture, its history and role in the dance house movement, this village has become a kind of pilgrimage destination. Printed here is Sebő Ferenc's June 18th laudation for Szék. Page 15 Literary column: Vári Attila: On Szék as if it were a bedtime story (published in: Székelyföld, August 2011). A memoir that begins nostalgic and thoughtful about the days when his relatives that lived in various Transylvanian cities employed servants – young girls from nearby villages. He goes on to describe Klári a servant girl from Szék, and the time in 1970 when he made a film in Szék and in the meantime found out that the most well-to-do farmer in the village had been shot by the securitate – basically because he didn't want to join the collective and no one in the village would join the collective until he did. The parting thought: "The motto of Romania's dictatorship should have been: Proletariat of the world unite – or we'll shoot!"Page 18 Kóka Rozália's series on women's life storiesPart 1. Szőnyi Zsuzsa's life storyBorn in 1924, daughter of Szőnyi István, the painter/graphics artist. Her maternal grandfather - Bartóky József had worked in the Ministry of Agriculture. Zsuzsa spent her young childhood in Zebegény (north of Budapest on the Danube) listening to her parents' conversations with their friends who were artists and intellectuals. The family moved back to Budapest when it came time to enroll her in school. She married Triznya Mátyás in 1944 – right when the Germans entered Hungary during World War II. Zsuzsa and her new husband decided to try to escape to Austria. They were caught at the border and put in jail. When they were finally released, they went back to Budapest and immediately began to plan their departure from Hungary. To be continued. Page 22 An adventure in Bulgaria's Rhodope MountainsStuber György's report on a festival in the village of Borino in Bulgaria in the spring of 2011. He made recordings at the festival which can now be found in the archives in the Hungarian Heritage House. His article makes the point that the Rhodope Mountains are one of the few places in Bulgaria where pentatonic melodies can be found. He talks mainly about bagpipe music, touches on the singing style, and also provides some information on how Bulgarian traditional music fared under the communist system. Text and photos by Stuber György.Page 27 Tradition – Heritage – Popular CulturePart 1: A discussion of the role of traditional folk music in Hungarian contemporary music. An examination of traditional tunes that have become "hits" and have been used over and over again. An example is the song "Tavaszi szél" – which has been arranged in a many different ways: from Bárdos Lajos' to Boney M's versions and even T-Home's (the Hungarian telephone company) – who used it to advertise their internet package, and then sponsored a competition where anyone could enter their own version. Another tune, "Gyere ki, te gyöngyvirág" is also discussed. Versions of this tune have appeared in the repertoire of many, many bands (both traditional and world music bands). The writer's experiences sitting on the jury of a recent world music song contest also add to the subject matter, along with his critiques of some of the entrants. By Kiss Ferenc.Page 30 Hungarian Americans visit the old countryA group of special Hungarian scouts – the so-called regös scouts – arrived from Cleveland, Ohio this summer. One of the goals of the regös scouts (a movement that began in 1908) is for young [Hungarians] to spend time in villages learning about the customs, traditions and life there. This group of Cleveland teenagers came to visit the mother country and also spent several days in the village of Kazár in Nógrád County – Palóc country. They were treated to a full circle of activities from pig slaughtering to the local dances, costume and history. Report by Pigniczky Réka – former member of the Cleveland Regös Scouts/ resident of Hungary for the past 10 years.Page 32 Beliefs and Susperstitions in SzékThe first tale is about a tiny man that "Auntie" Kisó had seen sitting under a tombstone in the cemetery. The little man was unhappy, had no clothes and felt neglected, and he said he could help stop the Plague. The village was experiencing a horrible epidemic of the Plague at the time and people were dropping flies. Finally Kisó and another woman decided they had better make peace with the little man. They spun, wove and sewed him some clothes, took the clothes up to the cemetery and left them there for him. Within a week the epidemic was over. The other story is about a lady in the village who was a healer. Such healers had frogs. The healer women with frogs couldn't die until they had passed on the healing powers and the frogs to someone else. The frogs were said to be devils in the form of frogs. "...When I was a child I heard about the funeral of one of those healer women and how the frogs came hopping right along after the funeral procession..."From the writings of Kocsis Rózsi – published by Juhos Kiss Sándor and Juhos-Kiss János. Kocsis Rózsi (born: Szék 1932/ died 1999) began writing down memories of her life in her old age.Page 34 Krizsán András, Somogyi Győző: Traditional Architecture of the Upper Balaton Region. [Cser Kiadó, 2009 ISBN: 9789632781136]A conversation with Krizsán András about the book, the architecture and history of the region. The Káli Basin – part of the Upper Balaton Region – is especially known for this kind of archtiecture. Concerted efforts have been made there over the past decades to preserve houses with this style of architecture. Krizsán András talks about establishing workshops for learning and preserving the trades needed for building this kind of building. By Grozdits Károly.Page 38 Food and Tradition – Old Hungarian fish recipes Some history on fish in Hungarian cusine. Recipes for: pickled fish, fish baked in clay, fish on a skewer, small fish cooked on bed of reeds, layered fish and cabbage. By Juhász Katalin.Page 40 Thoughts and writings from the pastMagyarvista. By Márai Sándor, 1942. Márai (1900-1989), one of Hungary's greatest writers, describes a Sunday in Magyarvista – a village in the Kalotaszeg region of Transylvania. Amongst his parting thoughts: "...Kalotaszeg is one of the greatest and most Hungarian of the living museums. An unfathombly beautiful thing. It has been handed down to us from our forefathers. But if we don't take care of it, we'll lose it, and this is something that is irreplacable..." Kalotaszeg. By Kós Károly, 1912. Kós Károly (1883-1977) was an architect, writer, graphics artist, publisher, teacher and politician, who spent most of his life in Transylvania, and much of it in a village in the Kalotaszeg region. "…with its ancient culture in its centuries-old isolation the old Kalotaszeg is going to ruin with new times being formed by a new world. We here in Kalotaszeg know very well that we cannot stop this process...[but] we want the new Kalotaszeg to be Hungarian, cultured and ours. It should be a continuation of the old, as we are continuations of our fathers, we want to salvage what can be saved, and protect ourselves from being left with nothing, after throwing out the old…"Page 42 The Fülep Márk Project – Contemporary music, folk music, improvisationsReport and review of the June 10th concert at the Palace of the Arts in Budapest. The concert featured Fülep Márk (flutes), Lukács Miklós (cymbalom) and Borbély Mihály (saxophones), with guests: Bognár Szilvia (voice), Sipos Mihály (violin) and dancers Farkas Zoltán and Tóth Ildikó. The concert was a successful meeting of contemporary classical, jazz and folk music and musicians. It was the brain child of Fülep Mark who was artistic director, organizer and producer of the program.

Our technicians can administer testing both from within the room itself, as well as outside via video camera monitoring. We enforce your procedures and provide support on-demand for any candidate requiring service. We focus on service; for example, all computers have operating system updates applied manually to avoid disruption from automatic update rebooting, and browsers and desktops are locked down to prevent unauthorized access. Commonly used tools and applications, such as Adobe Acrobat Reader, Flash, Quicktime and Java, are regularly and manually updated to ensure a pleasant test experience. All software popups, virus scanners, and other annoyances are disabled during the test-taking process.

1. Zosia Mamet, aka Shoshanna from Girls, wrote about the definition of success in her latest column for Glamour, and explained why women should stop being so obsessed with "making it".
While "leaning in" is all about "encouraging women to pursue their ambitions, and changing the conversation from what we can't do to what we can do" – Mamet is asking, "Who are we to put such a limited definition on success? "
2. "We are so obsessed with 'making it' these days," she wrote, "we've lost sight of what it means to be successful on our own terms."
"As women we have internalized the idea that every morning we wake up, we have to go for the f—king gold. You can't just jog; you have to run a triathlon…. Who in her right mind would want to do that? And who would even be able to?"
3. She explains that with the narrow definition of success, if she wanted to give up acting and "open a small coffee shop in Vermont" everyone would think she was "insane".
But points out that, equally, if she "didn't turn my little coffee shop into some world-renowned Magnolia Bakery of the north, if I kept it small and had a happy life, I probably wouldn't be considered a success at that either, which is ridiculous."
So, basically women can't win.
4. She said that women's need to succeed was a by-product of a good thing: feminism. "Feminism was meant to empower us as women, to build us up for fighting on male-dominated battlefields."
Mamet added that despite feminism giving us role models like Beyoncé and Hillary Clinton, "We kept the old male ideas of success: power and money. We need new ones!"
5. Mamet says that women should support each other in their decisions and in their own personal definitions of success.
She also says that women shouldn't feel like they're "letting down the team" if they don't want to run a country, or indeed set up that small bakery in Vermont.
"If you get off running a global hair care empire, more power to you, but if working as a hairdresser somewhere within that empire brings you joy, then that should be just as admirable. You shouldn't feel like you're letting down the team."
6. Well said, Zosia. Well said.

Toyota Speeds Up World Production
Although Toyota is cutting back on output of its brand cars, it is stepping up its race to open new factories around the world and grab a 15% global market share by 2010, The Wall Street Journal reported, citing a confidential Toyota document which the paper obtained.
Toyota has passed to become the world's No. 2 automaker by sales and is on track to overtake General Motors as early as this year.
To keep its momentum going, Toyota aims to open three more new plants by 2009, boosting its production capacity by 450,000 vehicles a year, as part of a "global master plan," the story said.
According to the document, Toyota expects global auto sales to rise to 73 million vehicles in 2010 from 65 million last year, with the growth coming principally in the so-called BRIC nations Brazil, Russia, India and China.
To grab a big chunk of these emerging markets, Toyota plans to build new plants in India, China and the U.S. by as early as 2009 and to increase its group global market share, including Daihatsu and Hino, to 15% in 2010. Excluding those affiliates, is aiming for a 14% share that year, with sales of about 10.37 million vehicles, according to its plan. That would be up from 11% and 7.26 million vehicles in 2005, the WSJ noted.

Watching Jordan Taylor Pretending to be a Sports Car Superfan Is Outstanding
Whoda thunk a sports car driver could do a good impression of a superfan?
Most Popular
Sports car champion Jordan Taylor has a brilliant new alter ego. With some free time on his hands and a paddock full of racers to prank, the Floridian donned his "super fan" gear, complete with cutoff jean shorts and wraparound sunglasses, and wandered through Daytona International Speedway as "Rodney Sandstorm," stopping to pose for selfies with unsuspecting friends and rivals.
The reactions are priceless, and let's hope Rodney makes a return at January's Rolex 24 at Daytona.

5X Club
Finishers of all five Tarawera distances – 42.2, 50, 62, 87 and 102km.
I was fortunate enough to take part in the inaugural Tarawera Ultra Marathon back in 2009. I'd just discovered ultras the year before but this was my first proper trail event. There are two enduring memories from that day. The first was at the briefing where I saw my first collection of trail runners and saw what a scrawny and ultra-fit bunch they were mostly. I felt somewhat out of place! The second memory was the sneaky hill placed about 1km from the finish – it nearly killed me and I can't blame Tim!
The next time I entered I stepped up to the 100km distance followed by the 60. I returned in 2014 to run the new 50km event and had a crazy idea to do a double 100 the next year which almost came off.
In 2015 I knocked off the Tarawera marathon to complete my 5-event medal collection. A non-running injury laid me low for a while but I returned to struggle around the very wet and miserable 2016 67km course.
My dream to complete the first double Tarawera 100 was realised in 2017 – 204km! What an emotional day (/night/day/night) only made possible by Paul, Tim and the team – thanks guys!
The Numbers:
21-Mar-2009 Tarawera Ultra Marathon – 85km-ish
19-Mar-2011 Tarawera Ultra Marathon – 100km
17-Mar-2012 Tarawera Ultra Marathon – 60km
15-Nov-2014 Tarawera – 50km
7-Feb-2015 Tarawera Ultra Marathon – 87km – (almost double 100 + 87)
14-Nov-2015 Tarawera Marathon – 42.195km
6-Feb-2016 Tarawera Ultra – 67km
11-Feb-2017 Tarawera Ultra Marathon – 102km (double 204km!)
My 1st ever running event was The Goat in Dec 2013, I must have enjoyed it, as within 3 months I had completed my initial Marathon & then Ultramarathon: Tarawera 62Km (March 2014).
I followed this with the 50km (Nov 2014), the 102km (Feb 2015), entered the 42Km (Nov 2015) but had to withdraw due to an unexpected overseas trip, breaking my consecutive medal streak 🙁
2016 saw me finish my medal collection with the 87km in February & the 42km in November.
I returned for a relay in Feb 2017 & will probably do another in 2018.
The Tarawera running community is fantastic & these events are just awesome to be a part of, thanks to Paul & Tim & the many others behind the scenes, who contribute to making these races so special.
It was a 30 second conversation with Peter at one of my first runs with the Browns Bay Critical Mass crew soon after the cyclone course happened that got me hooked. It went something like this: Pete: you should do it…. do the 100 not the 85 that's a waste its only 15km more. Insert thinking time. Approx. 10 seconds….. Me: why the f not. Ok sign me up.
Come opening day had already booked accommodation etc. Had done a few Oxfam trail walkers (one with Kim Allen) before she became ultra ultra girl. Thanks Kim by the way for inspiring me) but with only one Kepler under my belt was inexperienced in ultras so now had to train well beyond the 20 odd marathons I had done. I wanted to get under 16hrs. Thought this was realistic so really happy with about 14.50 for my first 100k run.
Then I needed a new challenge – luckily Paul introduced the membership deal… Great sign me up I say. Unfortunately I couldn't do the inaugural 50km but have now done them all, even the "boring" 87 and am now on my second rotation. Just hoping a 100miler can be added soon..
To all those strangers when I turned up at the Okataina training camp in January of 2015, you are no longer strangers but great running buddies. Jumbo Rich, Bryony and of course Simon Clendon who rode in on his bike, plus Vicki Wooley, are just a few of many who I officially met there (in fact I was in awe of Vicki at that point too. Still am actually.) And for all those no longer with us, let's thank Tim and Paul and all the Tarawera crew for allowing us to do what we in such beautiful settings.
Races completed:
2017 62km
2016 87 and 42
2015 100 and 5
Being at the Kepler Challenge finishing line for my husband's 7 in 7 Challenges in 2009 and 2010 inspired me to give the Kepler a go in 2011. After running that high ridgeline I was hooked and quickly turned my attention to the Tarawera Ultra distances.
My first was TUM60 in 2012 a fairly intimate race back then – I think there were a dozen or so people at the Tarawera Falls finish line to welcome us home. I couldn't get over how enthusiastic Paul was, he genuinely wanted every single runner to have the best experience of their life – for them to inspire themselves in some way about what was possible. The competitors themselves were amazing too. I mean how mad is it to run so blooming far and be so bloody happy?! It was impossible not to go back for more.
Various extreme weather conditions (many will recall 'The Fire Course' of 2013 and the 'Cyclone Year' of 2014 ) and a full time support role during the High Five-0 Challenge in 2015 stalled my plans to get from Rotorua to Kawerau on foot on race day. This goal was finally conquered in 2016. Although the weather was pretty rubbish that year, it was Kawerau or bust for me – and bust just simply wasn't an option.
Thanks so much to Paul, Tim and all the TUM team for allowing us to have so much fun in the outdoors discovering that we are all capable of so much more than we thought.
2012 60km
2013 85km (The fire course horror!)
2014 74km (My first 100km was going to be a dead cert – curse that Cyclone Lusi!)
2014 50km
2015 At TUM supporting the High Five-0 Challenge
2015 42km (Technically 5xTUM medals but the 74km just didn't really cut it)
2016 102km (well hello Kawerau!!!)

The vast majority of us will, at some point in our lives, have to deal with the excruciating reality of spinal and neck pains, and for many of us, this sort of pain is an everyday reality we believe we simply have deal with and work through. Stiffness, aching, burning sensations and momentary stabs of discomfort are all things we know will come and go as we proceed through life, yet few of us really look at either the causes or solutions to these problems. Typically, we are quick to reach for the medicine cabinet to relieve such pains – painkillers, anti-inflammatory pills, lotions and tinctures are often used for mild back pain, whereas more severe problems can lead to trips to physiotherapists, chiropractors and even surgeons in the search for relief.
Back pain is an unpleasant thing to have to deal with, but what does an aspirin do other than relieve the pain for a relatively short period of time, before it returns again and again?
However, such steps generally deal merely with the symptom, and not with the cause. Back pain is an unpleasant thing to have to deal with, but what does an aspirin do other than relieve the pain for a relatively short period of time, before it returns again and again?
One of the most common misconceptions about back pain is that it is merely a physical complaint, usually put down to pulled muscles or poor sleeping position. Occasionally, we are aware that we've strained ourselves by lifting something heavy, or undertaking some sort of strenuous activity we were not sufficiently prepared for. In these instances, the cause is generally quite obvious. But how about all of those times back pain appears to come from nowhere at all, and simply turns up like an unwelcome guest who is difficult to avoid or shoo away?
We are all normally quick to dismiss back pain as being something that has arisen through poor sleep or sleeping positions, but why are we all sleeping so badly?
More often than not, these issues come about as a result of stress, worry and anxiety creating pressure in our bones and muscles, and blocking the natural energies which pulse and spiral their way through our bodies. Stress is an unpleasant but almost unavoidable reality of everyday living – we are all working harder and longer than ever before, and worrying about a wider range of things than people have ever done in the past. Money, work, relationships, family, the future... all are subjects of great anxiety for the modern man or woman, and such worries are beginning to manifest themselves in a range of physical complaints, one of the most common being back and neck pain. Indeed, we can see this to be true: we are all normally quick to dismiss back pain as being something that has arisen through poor sleep or sleeping positions, but why are we all sleeping so badly? Mostly because we are struggling to put our minds at rest, or let go of many of the anxieties we are plagued with.
The solutions to stress-related pains and aches are actually quite simple, and stretch back through history for several thousand years. Simply by working as little as twenty minutes of daily meditation into your routine can massively reduce stress, and certainly can help you sleep more peacefully and comfortably. By allowing your body to relax and benefit from stillness, quiet and deep breathing, we can 'pull back' from the material world and all its stressful situations, and remember that the reality of our bodies and minds is something far simpler, far more beautiful and serene than we are perhaps led to believe. Regular meditation has been proven to reduce stress and anxiety dramatically, and also reduce things like high blood pressure – again, something linked with muscular pain and neck and spine problems.
Another great way of tackling back and neck pain is by practicing yoga. Yoga is an ancient technique practiced for thousands of years in India as part of a devotional and healthy lifestyle, and has the unique ability to both stretch, tone and release tension from the physical body, as well as encourage positive energies and meditative states with which to enrich the mental and spiritual aspects of ourselves.
Regular yoga exercise can dramatically improve one's mental and physical health, and your back and neck pains can quickly become a thing of the past once you begin implementing a regime of yoga and meditation into your daily life; you'll even find that meditation can help cure insomnia. You'll be learning to relax and let go of the stresses and pressures of your day, and at the same time improving your suppleness, stretching out your muscles and allowing your body to become loose and comfortable in itself. Indeed, modern health professionals are beginning to highly endorse yoga and meditation as part of a healthy, happy and long life – why not try it for yourselves and notice the difference first hand?
Yoga has been growing in popularity among people of all interests and athletes of a diverse list of disciplines. The unique combination.

your guess is as good as mine. good luck. how does the fluid look or do you have any shifting issues
No shifting problems, the fluid is brownish red, not red like it should be
IF you do anything at all , DO NOT flush!!! Only drain & fill (will probably need filter and pan gasket on that) With that mileage , I would strongly suggest ONLY FACTORY parts and fluid!!
