Sign up for a Crutchfield account Overview Details Customer Reviews Q&A Articles & Videos Accessories Our take on the Rockford Fosgate Punch P1572 by Jo Greene Why replace your car's original speakers? The speakers that originally came in your car were made from inexpensive materials, designed to create acceptable sound at the lowest possible cost to the manufacturer. If you love music, you deserve better. Name-brand aftermarket speakers deliver fuller, richer sound with considerably more detail and nuance, and they're capable of playing louder and cleaner than factory speakers. Connect new speakers to your factory radio and you'll get the best possible sound from your dealer-equipped system. Pair them up with a new car stereo for a level of enjoyment that can rival a high-fidelity home audio experience. Rockford Fosgate showcases their fanatical commitment to sonic excellence in the Punch Series of speakers, amps, and subs. If you like to listen to potent, powerful music — and feel it too — Punch components will give you impressive sound that'll stand out in a crowd. Rockford Fosgate designed the Punch P1572 5"x7" speakers as a high-grade replacement for your factory speakers. Each speaker features a responsive polypropylene cone and butyl rubber surround that'll stand up to hours of high-volume jams. Rockford Fosgate uses a new technique to attach the surround to the cone that yields up to 25% more cone area, for fuller sound and stronger performance. The dome tweeters provide clear, extended highs that can hold their own when the bass gets heavy. Grilles not included — factory grilles are suitable for most installations.

We stay on top of new products and technologies to help people make informed choices. Features Injection-Molded Polypropylene Woofers: The woofer cones are mineral filled, injection-molded polypropylene. This molding process assures a uniform cone thickness for superior linearity and clarity. It is also light weight and rigid for decreased distortion and improved bass response. Butyl Rubber Surrounds: The butyl rubber surrounds dampen unwanted harmonic distortion while maintaining linear geometry under extreme weather conditions. This leads to less distortion, superior frequency response, and superior durability. VAST Surround: The Vertical Attach Surround Technique (VAST) increases a speaker's effective radiating cone area without increasing the size of the basket. Tweeters: Each speaker features a 3/4" PEI (Poly-Ether-Imide) dome tweeter; PEI is a polymer film that produces a wide soundstage for superior imaging. Adapter Bracket: Out of the box, the P1572 will fit many 6x8 applications; adapter brackets are included to fit additional 6x8 applications which add 0.18" to the mounting height and subtract 0.18" from the mounting depth. Speaker Terminals: These speakers have 0.25" wide positive (+) terminals and 0.187" wide negative (-) terminals, which are too large for the vehicle-specific speaker harnesses supplied by Crutchfield for many vehicle applications. It is recommended that a pack of assorted female quick slides (item # 263FQS10PK) be purchased and spliced to the harnesses to adapt them to the speaker terminals.

Great overall sound! Much needed upgrade from the factory speakers in my '08 Mercury Grand Marquis! I like them so much I wanna upgrade to the Power series! I also upgraded the HU to a Kenwood Excelon! Sounds great! Was this review helpful? Yes | No 4 out of 5 Great speakers for my Ford Escape Written By JW, Wareham, MA on Tuesday, August 12, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Great speakers for the money. Good sound without needing additional power. Pros: Drop-in replacement for the factory speakers. Cons: The connector terminals on the speakers are not compatible with the adapters sent by Crutchfield. You need to cut off the connectors from the adapters and crimp on replacements (also sent by Crutchfield as part of the order). 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

I would recommend these to anyone looking to upgrade, you will be glad you did. Pros: Sound Quality Cons: None Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Great speaker Written By Anonymous, Ashton, MD on Wednesday, May 15, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I was worried after reading the reviews, but I have all Fosgate equipement and wanted to keep it this way. After installing them I could not be more happy with the sound. Speakers can cost four times this, but I do not feel a need to get anything else. I have no regrets and would purchase these again without hesatation Pros: Great sound Nice price Good looks Cons: Little tough fitment Was this review helpful?

I am very satisfied with the quality of the sound improvement with these speakers in my vehicle. The sound is clear and a definite improvement over the stock sound. Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Rockford Fosgate Punch speakers Written By KDP250, Cheyenne, WY on Tuesday, May 07, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I got these speakers to replace the 4 factory speakers in my F250 and wow what a difference. Crystal clear and very crisp sound and they were cheap in my opinion as I paid for 1 pair and got the second pair for half price. Pros: Superb sound, crisp and clear. Cons: Haven't found anything bad at all other than they don't fit the existing stock mounting holes in the doors, I had to drill 2 holes per speaker to get them to fit, but that was easy. Was this review helpful? Yes | No 4 out of 5 Rockford Fosgate Speakers Written By MARK M, sarasota fl on Wednesday, April 24, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) speakers were purchased for '07 Sport Trac. i installed all 4 myself. they were easy to install and the instructions were clear. harnesses were good and extra ends were a definite plus as the harness would not clip directly on and new ends had to be utilized. Pros: easy of install, good sound for the money Cons: factory holes did not line up exactly for all four screw holes in speakers. i made it work but if the upper holes lined up, the lowers would not and vice versa. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 4 out of 5 Great quality Written By Anonymous, Tennessee on Thursday, October 18, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) These are great speakers and have a good hi's. But, dont really have the mid's I wanted. All in all a great product that sounds good. At a low volume and so far at higher volume still hold the same sound quality. Pros: Good overall, fit good 3 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Big Improvement Written By Lithograph, East TN on Wednesday, July 04, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Huge improvement over my factory speakers. I drive a 2012 Mustang that had some very lackluster speakers provided by Ford. I decided to switch them out for the Fosgate speakers, and they sound way better. I can drive them much harder without the distortion from the factory speakers, and their sound is very crisp and clear compared to the Ford's more "muddled" factory set-up. I had two Fosgate 10" subs from an old system that I installed in the trunk to get some bass. The component speakers sound fantastic, but they will not give you big bass (even though it's better than the factory speakers). Pros: Great sound, and reasonably priced. They can be driven very hard without distorting. Cons: The rear speakers didn't line up all the way with the factory screw holes. I could only screw in 2 of the 4 screws on each speaker. That's more than enough to keep them in place, but as a perfectionist I was disappointed that the fit wasn't perfect. 5 out of 6 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 4 out of 5 Better than Expected Written By Old Ed, LA on Wednesday, January 25, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Paired these as front speakers with P1683 rear speakers in '08 Mustang for grand daughter. No sub or power amp. I was skeptical after reading previous reviews about the lack of bass. However, after making adjustments on HU they really sounded great with the P1683 support. Grandchild loves the whole system. It turned out to be a great start for a system that's allows additional components at a later date. Installation was easy with Crutchfield accessories, installation instructions, and "You Tube" videos. Pros: Sounds great and will work with later add on's. Cons: Do not recommend these speakers without some type of bass support. i.e. additional speakers, Good HU adjustments, or sub. 7 out of 8 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 2 out of 5 Lil bass Written By lance, so.cal on Wednesday, August 31, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) i put these in my ford ranger x-cab in the back. They didn't fit perfectly I had to do some modifications to the speaker. The speakers are hooked up to a ken wood kdcx395 there is lil to no bass .bass is turned up all the way and gets distorted as you turn up the volume. I know there only 5x7but should have some bass . I am going to hook up a lil amp to them and see if that helps,and I'll probably have to hook up a small Sub to get the sound I'm looking for. If your looking for great hi's then this is your speaker..Eddie at crutch field gave great customer sevice that would be 5 stars 7 out of 10 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 3 out of 5 Small Problems Written By Gary H, Buffalo, NY on Sunday, May 15, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I received these speakers and started to install them in my '98 Ford Ranger. I took the stock 5x7 speakers out. The new speakers had v shaped mounting holes that did not quite lind up with origional holes. After grinding the hole a little, they fit. I cut & soldered the Ford wiring harness wires to new larger wires and when I tried to plug them into the Rockford clips, they were to small. I spread them with a small screwdriver, and they fit. Other than that, they sound great. Sound wise they are 5 stars. 9 out of 12 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

"The legalization of the termination of pregnancy is none other than the authorization given to an adult, with the approval of an established law, to take the lives of children yet unborn and thus incapable of defending themselves. It is difficult to imagine a more unjust situation, and it is very difficult to speak of obsession in a matter such as this, where we are dealing with a fundamental imperative of every good conscience — the defense of the right to life of an innocent and defenseless human being."

Salisbury woman scammed out of cash
Authorities say a Salisbury woman was scammed out of $300 by two people who "found" money in a lost purse and needed additional money to "invest" it.
The woman, who is not being named, was at the Dollar General store located not far from the Salisbury Mall on Friday afternoon when she was approached by two women. The women said they'd found a purse that had money inside and asked a passerby if the purse belonged to him. The passerby, a man, cursed at the two women, they said.
One of the women kept clutching her chest "as if she were having a heart attack," a Salisbury Police report said.
The two women asked the Salisbury woman if they could sit inside her vehicle to "calm down." The women showed the 68-year-old victim the purse with the money inside.
Salisbury Police investigators say the scammers asked her if they could get a ride to Staples on Faith Road in order to make a phone call. One of the scammers told the victim her boss was a lawyer and he'd know what to do with the money. The victim drove the two women to Staples, where they went inside.
The women told the victim the lawyer said the money should be invested, but they needed some money up front.
The victim told investigators she was intimidated into taking the women to an ATM where she withdrew $300 from her account. The scammers asked if she could get more and the victim told them no. The victim was forced to drive the two back to Staples. The victim, armed with her keys in hand, went inside Staples and left the two women in her car. When the victim returned the two women were gone.
It is unclear the connection to Staples, said Police Capt. Shelia Lingle. The women may have parked a getaway car or perhaps it was closer to the interstate, Lingle said.
No arrest has been made at this time.

How exactly would an "ultrasound" prove what a woman is thinking? Like most liberals, I think you are confused a bit by a woman's biology. That part doesn't do...

Real property taxation is the oldest form of taxation in Canada. It represents 40% of the revenue generated by local governments.
Typically, real property (i.e., land and structures on the land like houses, commercial buildings, towers, and pipelines) is assessed and a rate of tax (often called a millrate) is applied annually to the value of the real property. Assessed value multiplied by the millrate equals the amount of tax that is due for the year. For example, a property valued at $100,000 subject to a millrate of 10, would generate $1000 in property tax.
REVENUE = ASSESSED VALUE x TAX RATE
It is the owner or occupier of the real property that must pay the property tax.
Other forms of real property tax include local improvement taxes and taxation for services.
First Nations under the FMA or section 83 of the Indian Act to implement their property tax jurisdiction.
First Nations exercising taxation jurisdiction continue to increase annually. Currently, more than 150 First Nations in Canada are levying property taxes on reserve.
Annual revenues to First Nations from taxation now exceed $70 million. Since 1989, more than $800 million has been generated through property taxation on reserve.
Agriculture permits and leasesOil, gas, timber and resource leasesCommercial leasesResidential leasesUtilitiesCrown corporations have tax immunity but grants in lieu of tax are often arranged.
For First Nations, property taxes provide an independent, stable and flexible source of revenue, which can be reinvested in First Nation communities to build economic infrastructure, attract investment, and promote economic growth. Property taxation also establishes jurisdiction and provides First Nations with improved powers to control land development.
1. Jurisdiction
By enacting a property taxation law or by-law, a First Nation establishes jurisdiction over the territory to which the law or by-law applies -- the property within the reserve boundaries. Some provincial and municipal governments tax non-Native businesses located on reserve. In exercising its property tax jurisdiction, the First Nation serves notice that it is occupying the field and those provinces that are taxing on reserve lands will vacate accordingly.
2. Revenue
Real property taxation provides First Nation communities an independent, stable and flexible source of revenue, which can be reinvested to improve services, respond to priorities, and address deficiencies in economic infrastructure. Improved community infrastructure and the provision of dependable services also attract commercial and residential development.
3. Establishment of a Regulatory Framework to Support Economic Growth
The First Nations Tax Commission (FNTC) is a shared governance First Nation institution, which approves First Nation laws made under the First Nations Fiscal Management Act (FMA), and recommends by-laws made under s.83 of the Indian Act.
The FNTC assists First Nations in developing laws and by-laws, provides training, and dispute resolution services. It also protects the integrity of the First Nation property tax system, safeguards and enhances the First Nation tax jurisdiction, assists with capacity development, and promotes the understanding and use of First Nation property taxation and economic development.
For more information about the services provided by the FNTC, click here.
The purpose of the FNTC goes beyond property tax and local revenues. The FNTC is also about creating the legal, administrative and infrastructural framework necessary for markets to work on First Nation lands, creating a competitive First Nation investment climate, and using economic growth as the catalyst for greater First Nation self-reliance.
Established as part of the FMA, the organization receives funding from the Government of Canada, and is governed by 10 Commissioners.Nine of the Commissioners are appointed by the Governor in Council, while one is appointed by the Native Law Centre, University of Saskatchewan.
The FNTC has two offices: the Head Office located in Kamloops, BC and theNational Capital Region Office located in Ottawa, ON.
In order to access the FMA, the Chief and Council of an interested First Nation must send a resolution of Council, to the attention of the Minister of Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development, requesting to be placed on the Schedule. The resolution (see FNTC Sample BCR) can be mailed to:
Minister of Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development21st Floor, 10 Wellington StreetGatineau, QuebecK1A 0H4
Once this request is made, the First Nations Tax Commission will work with the interested First Nation in developing its property tax laws.
Yes. First Nations that have Treaties or self-government agreements, and are operating outside the Indian Act, can, if they wish, come under the First Nations Fiscal Management Act (see s.141 of the FMA). This can be done through the development of regulations which can adapt the provisions of the FMA as required for this purpose. First Nations that are not Indian Act "bands" may begin the process by providing a resolution from their governing body to the Minister of Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development
Section 83 of the Indian Act provides First Nations with by-law making authority for real property taxation on reserve. First Nations exercising taxation under section 83 must pass the following by-laws: Real Property Taxation and Assessment By-law, Expenditure By-law, and an Annual Rates By-law. All by-laws are subject to Ministerial approval.
The First Nations Fiscal Management Act (FMA) provides First Nations with law making authority for real property taxation on First Nation lands. First Nations that wish to exercise real property taxation under the FMA must first request to be added to the FMA schedule. Once added, First Nations can pass local revenue laws for the purposes of taxation, assessment, rate setting and expenditures. All laws are subject to the review and approval of the First Nations Tax Commission.
Taxation under the FMA has added benefits. These include:
The First Nations Fiscal Management Act (FMA) is First Nation-led legislation, which came into force on April 1, 2006.
The FMA expands local revenue jurisdiction, provides financial management certification and expertise, and improves data and statistics quality. It also improves the private sector investment climate on reserves, and provides access to debenture markets.
As an alternative to section 83 of the Indian Act, the FMA provides a comprehensive regulatory framework to support First Nation economic growth.
The FNTC consists of 10 Commissioners including a Chief Commissioner and Deputy Chief Commissioner. Nine of the 10 Commissioners are appointed by the Governor-in-Council on the recommendation of the Minister. In accordance with the FMA regulations, an additional Commissioner is appointed by a non-government body.
All Commissioners hold office for no more than five years in a term. Commissioners may be reappointed.
Three Commissioners must have direct taxpayer experience on reserve – one is a taxpayer using the reserve for commercial purposes; one is a taxpayer using the reserve for residential purposes; and one is a taxpayer using the reserve for utility purposes.
First Nation property taxation is an optional fiscal power. Over 150 First Nations have chosen to exercise that power for several reasons: jurisdiction, revenue, or the need to establish a sustainable long term framework to support economic growth.
TAS is a tool to assist Tax Administrators working for First Nation governments through the complete annual tax cycle: assessments, budgeting, rate approval, tax notices, collection and enforcement. The software addresses the administrative rules and legislative requirements.
Click here, for more information.
The FNTC, the Tulo Centre of Indigenous Economics, and Thompson Rivers University (TRU) have developed an accredited certificate program in First Nation Tax Administration.
The Certificate in First Nation Tax Administration is intended to help First Nations implement these new powers and develop the skill set for First Nation tax administration using the FMA. This certificate assists those wanting to learn more about First Nation tax administration or those working under section 83 of the Indian Act.
For more information about the Tulo Centre and the training it offers, you may visit the Tulo Centre website.
The First Nations Tax Administrators Association was formed in 1993, and provides a wide-range of support to First Nation Tax Administrators. Membership is open to employees of any First Nation who are interested or engaged in the development, implementation or administration of a program, or department of taxation or revenue generation on behalf of a First Nation.
As with other jurisdictions collecting property tax, First Nations now have the ability to use their tax revenues to access long term debt financing. Under the FMA, First Nation governments can participate in the debenture financing system, and borrow money based on the certainty of collecting property tax each year.
To begin borrowing with property tax revenues under the FMA, First Nations must satisfy several prerequisites. Briefly, First Nations must have:
• Property tax jurisdiction under the FMA;• Financial management system certification from the First Nations Financial Management Board;• FNFA Membership;• Sufficient borrowing room capacity; and• An eligible project.
First Nations opting to lever their property tax revenues to access long term capital financing through the provisions of the FMA may only do so through a FNTC approved borrowing law made under section 5(1)(d) of the FMA. The Commission has developed a sample borrowing law, and a sample borrowing agreement law. Debt servicing will be based on a percentage of annual property tax revenue. The percentage will depend on the composition of the tax base, support of membership, security of leasing arrangements, expenditure obligations, and other factors.
Provision of Services
Whereas property taxes generally serve the entire reserve area of a First Nation, taxes for the provision of services are imposed on a specific area within a First Nation to fund the service or improvement applied to a particular area only.
The taxes are generally applied to parcels of land. This means that the owner of the parcel of land is responsible for paying the services tax. A services tax is allocated as an annual charge that may be levied for a set number of years depending on the law. Types of local services include:
The cost of work undertaken as a provision of services is paid up front by the First Nation then recovered from property owners within the service area using the tax. The tax may be based on a single amount for each unit or the taxable frontage of the parcel. In some instances, owners may commute the charges imposed on them for payments in cash. Typically, First Nations will contribute a portion of the cost from the local revenue generated through the First Nation's property tax law.
Development Cost Charges
There are many measures that are taken to ensure the interests of taxpayers are taken into account.
For instance, a First Nation must give fair and adequate notice to taxpayers. This includes notice of their property tax laws, assessment inspections, assessments, assessment appeals, taxation, enforcement, and any FNTC reviews.
First Nations are required to provide 60 day noticeand an opportunity for persons to make representations concerning most local revenue laws. The Council must consider these representations before it makes its law. Some First Nations may also have taxpayer representation to Council laws which provide a formal structure for taxpayer representation to Council.
Taxpayershave access to the First Nation and the First Nations Tax Commission in the event disputes arise. Formal mechanisms for dispute resolution are also available through the FNTC.
The FNTC has taxpayer representation on the Commission with considerable expertise in the field of real property taxation which is represented in all decision-making.
In addition, the FNTC has a policy objective dedicated to reconciling the interests of taxpayers with those of First Nations. First Nations may develop Taxpayer Representation to Council Laws to support the interests of taxpayers. These laws provide formal structures and procedures to address taxpayer issues or concerns.
Taxpayers are encouraged to form and participate in taxpayer advisory bodies and associations. Individual and collective ideas in dialogue can create greater awareness of how real property taxation can improve services to taxpayers.
Yes. Each First Nation provides a right to appeal to a First Nation appointed appellate body. Sometimes called an Assessment Review Board or Board of Revision, the appellate body uses procedures that are similar to assessment appeal procedures used throughout Canada. The process ensures appeals are conducted in an efficient, timely and fair manner. In some cases, a First Nation may have two appellate bodies for appeals.
As an efficient alternative to launching a formal appeal, some First Nations use a mechanism called a request for reconsideration of assessment. A request for reconsideration, in this instance, is where a taxpayer asks an assessor to reconsider the original assessment.
Taxpayers usually have 30 days from the time the assessment notices are mailed to make a request for reconsideration. Specific deadline dates are printed on the assessment notice. In this process, the assessor reviews the assessment of the taxable property in question and provides the taxpayer with the results of the reconsideration. If the assessor modifies the assessment, a revised notice is sent to the person who requested the reconsideration and to any other persons who were sent an assessment notice concerning the property. Typically, a request for reconsideration will deal with valuation; however, reconsiderations can also concern classification, errors, omissions, or use of exemptions.

According to the Associated Press, hackers got into bank databases, eliminating withdrawal limits on prepaid debit cards and creating access codes. Others, the AP reported, loaded that data onto any plastic card with a magnetic stripe -- an old hotel key card or an expired credit card worked fine as long as it carried the account data and correct access codes.
Time to Switch Readers?
Ken Pickering, development manager for security intelligence at CORE Security, told us the actual methodology is not yet known. He said the cyber theft was straightforward, but sophisticated.
"This is not some waiter who cloned your card at a restaurant and bought beer with it. This group was organized enough to steal $45 million in $20 dollar bills from ATMs in a coordinated way, in a very short amount of time. It's not opportunistic theft, but a sophisticated and coordinated theft that was planned over a long period of time," Pickering said.
"The attack reveals some significant flaws in ATMs. The fact that ATMs have a single point of failure -- the authorization system -- that allowed these guys to seize so much cash is evident. It's also clear that card technology is behind, because magnetic stripe cards can be easily cloned without any precaution."
Who is going to be caught? There were people who withdrew cash from the ATMs, and the ATMs took photos of them, but they're just money mules, Pickering said -- the real brains behind the attack is protected by layers, and is free to repeat this attack again.
"As much as it pains me to admit this, we're woefully behind in card security," he said. "Unfortunately, I think most people treat fraud as a 'necessary evil' in issuing magnetic-stripe credit cards, but the real problem is: How do we replace all the credit scanners in the U.S.?
"No company wants to issue a mandatory requirement to switch all readers and potentially lose out on transactions. So, we end up with this situation." (continued...)

INGLEWOOD, Calif. (May 23,2010)-U R All That I Am made a successful debut around two turns, winning the $62,400 Fran's Valentine on Sunday at Hollywood Park.
Trained by Jerry Hollendorfer for owner-breeder Tommy Town Thoroughbreds LLC, the 4-year-old Valid Wager filly out of the Fort Calgary mare Fort Silver earned her second stakes victory of the meet.
On April 24, U R All That I Am captured one of the California Gold Rush events, taking the $147,000 B. Thoughtful on Cushion Track by a half-length over Ruffled Feathers.
Stretching out and switching to turf, the 2-1 second choice tracked the pace set by Woman Warrior, bid outside that one early in the stretch, then kicked clear in the final eighth of a mile. Ridden by Rafael Bejarano, she won by 2 ¼ lengths while covering the mile in 1:34.63.
Second, defeated by a head by Unzip Me in the Irish O'Brien on March 20 at Santa Anita in her only previous race on grass, U R All That I Am won for the eighth time in 15 lifetime outings. She has earned $307,628.
Hollendorfer also saddled You Lift Me Up, who disappointed as the 7-10 favorite.
Seeking her seventh victory on turf, the 5-year-old daughter of Lord Carson and the Green Dancer mare Up On Her Toes never threatened, finishing fourth in the field of five. She wound up 6 ¾ lengths behind her stablemate.
Her poor performance led to some inflated show payoffs on the first three finishers. Of the $168,614 bet to show in the Fran's Valentine, $143,484 was wagered on You Lift Me Up.
U R All That I Am, who provided Bejarano with his second Fran's Valentine win in a row after he scored with Bootleg Annie in 2009, returned $6.20, $3.40 and $7.80. Woman Warrior, who has been first or second in four of her six starts on turf, paid $6.40 and $21.40. The show price on Salty Fries, who was the longest shot in the field at 10-1, was $25.20. Salty Fries finished 3 ½ lengths behind Woman Warrior.
"There wasn't a lot of speed,'' said Bejarano after his fourth stakes win of the meet, enabling him to tie Mike Smith for the lead in the category. "When I saw Woman Warrior was going to the lead by herself, I just tried to get my filly closer. On the turn she showed me a big kick, a big turn of foot.''
Hollendorfer praised the tactics employed by Bejarano.
"The race was won out of the gate when Rafael adjusted,'' he said. "He came out there real well and instead of laying third or fourth, he decided he could lay second easily enough. I think that was a key part of the race.
"I was hoping You Lift Me up would run better, but she did not fire today for whatever reason. I'm thankful that we had U R All That I Am in there to pick up the win.''
Hollywood Park will be open for simulcasts on Wednesday. Gates will open at 10:15 a.m.
Live racing will resume on Thursday. Post time is 1 p.m.

Queen palms (Syagrus romanzoffiana) are often chosen because of their similarity, when mature, to the beautiful coco palms of Hawaii. They tolerate poor soil conditions and are generally frost hardy to about 20 degrees. They require little maintenance, usually only the removal of the lower fronds as needed.
Native to South America, these stately palms are fast growers. They greatly appreciate regular fertilization and require staking when young in high wind areas. Once established, they display a moderate tolerance of drought conditions.
Queen palms are a great choice when height is desired but there is limited root space. They are not invasive in our area, and unlike most palms, their roots do not swell. That characteristic makes them a good choice for planter boxes or near pipes.
These trees do flower, exhibiting long white blossoms that are both male and female. The female flowers produce a yellowish-orange fruit. The ripe fruit is edible; in some areas, it is used to supplement livestock feed.
It is easy to understand why queen palms are so popular. They are beautiful plants that adapt well to many conditions and can make any place look more like a tropical paradise.

With more than 2,000 law enforcement training hours since 1993 and having experience in law enforcement as a dispatcher, jail deputy, patrol officer, investigator, supervisor and chief of police, Bartow County Sheriff Office's Sgt. Jonathan Rogers has spent his adult life giving back to his country and community. Currently, Rogers works as an investigator on the BCSO's criminal investigations division and as the department's public information officer.
"It is one of the best feelings in the world to solve a crime. Just to be able to provide a victim or victims' family with answers or closure is really rewarding," Rogers said. "We aren't able to provide such in a lot of cases, so when we can it is special. I also enjoy being in public relations to try to bring some of what we experience in law enforcement to those who are not involved.
"I was born and raised in Cartersville and Bartow County, and I really enjoy that part of my job is to ensure everyone is proud of our law enforcement men and women."
Age: 42
Occupation/Title: Sergeant, Criminal Investigations Division
Family: Wife Patti and children, Abi and Alexis
Education: Graduated Cass High School 1989
City of Residence: Cartersville
At what point in your life did you know you wanted to begin a career in law enforcement?
A: After I finished with my service in the Army, I really felt drawn to be in law enforcement. Some of that was probably from working within units in the Army providing safety and protection for those who could not. Naturally I felt comfortable in law enforcement as I was going to be working with a group or team protecting and helping others. I believe I inherited some traits from my father, who died when I was very young, such as compassion and a strong desire to do what's right.
If you weren't an investigator and PIO, what would you do for a living?
A: I believe I would be a teacher or another profession that works with children. I try to do all I can on a personal level to be involved in my children's lives and also their peers. I have also enjoyed working with youth at my church and still help out when needed there. Another great "child project" I work with is Shop With A Hero. This is one of the most personally rewarding programs I have ever worked with and gives less privileged children in Bartow County a Christmas they may not have without the program's intervention.
What led to your decision to join the military and could you describe your experience in Desert Storm?
A: In 1988 I signed up to join the Army after graduation (1989). As a high school student, I did not want to continue school by going to college, but also I felt like I wanted to explore my options and gain experience away from home. After talking with recruiters in school, I felt like that was the best option available and I signed up.
After graduating from basic training, I was assigned to Fort Campbell, Ky., in late 1989. I would later be deployed with 101st Airborne Division in Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm. I was involved in those conflicts from August 1990 until May 1991.
My Army unit spent time in Saudi Arabia training and protecting the borders at Kuwait/Iraq just prior to the ground war starting. When the ground conflict started, my unit flew into the Euphrates River Valley deep in Iraq where we protected an Iraq-to-Kuwait highway until the cease-fire was called.
One of the more interesting experiences of my life was my time during these conflicts as there are some things in life that are taken for granted that we did not have such as sleeping in an actual bed and talking to loved ones on a telephone.
In what branch of the military did you serve?
A: United States Army 1989 to 1992, Fort Campbell, Ky. (101st Airborne Division).
How long did you serve as Emerson Police Chief and how did you come about fulfilling that position?
A: I was acting chief of police in early 1998 and became chief later that year. In late 1999 I stepped down and left Emerson Police Department to work at a higher-paying job in computers to support my then-beginning family. I became chief in Emerson after starting there in 1996 and working up to assistant chief prior to being appointed to the top position.
I really enjoyed my time in Emerson and still have love and respect for the citizens of that area as they are very supportive of law enforcement.
What do you consider your greatest personal or professional achievement?
A: My greatest personal achievement is being a father and role model to my children. Any parent knows that nothing can be better than that.
My greatest professional achievement is reaching the level I'm at now with the Bartow County Sheriff's Office. I've worked hard to get to where I'm at professionally and continue to try and move higher. I want to make a positive influence on local law enforcement.
Where is your favorite place to be in Bartow County?
A: Although I'm not an outdoorsman, I enjoy being in nature. Recently I have been visiting Pine Mountain, and it has become a favorite place of mine to unwind and exercise.
What is something people would be surprised to learn about you?
A: I think most people would be surprised to learn that I'm such a kid at heart. I am sometimes amazed at myself when I think of how I can be 42 years old and still think of myself as half of that. I think that being a kid at heart keeps the world in perspective and helps me to laugh and smile a lot. And that helps everything.

How To Cut a Mango
Cooking Lessons from The Kitchn
There is no substitute for a truly ripe mango. The juice starts running down your hands as soon as you make the first slice, and you'll find yourself wanting to lick the bowl when the last piece is gone. Here's the best way to slice a mango for fruit salads, salsas, or eating straight from the skin.
The trick to cutting a mango is working around the large, flat seed that runs down the middle. It's nearly the same size as the fruit itself, and most of the fruit flesh is in the domed "cheeks" on either side of this seed. The best approach is to cut off the cheeks and then trim any remaining fruit flesh from the seed itself.
Choose heavy mangoes that give slightly when you press the area around the stem. Skin color varies by variety and isn't necessarily an indicator of ripeness, but look for mangos that have smooth skin with no blemishes. If the mango is still hard, let it ripen for a few days on the counter before eating.
What You Need
1 or more ripe mangoes
Chef knife
Paring knife
1. Cut off the mango "cheeks" - Hold the mango upright on the counter with your fingertips. Position your chef knife to one side of the center stem and slice straight down, hugging the flat of the seed as closely as possible. If you hit the edge of the seed as soon as you start to cut, remove your knife and rotate the mango 90-degrees.
Turn the mango and slice off the other "cheek." You will have two big pieces of mango and the flat seed.
2. Dice the mango - Hold one of the mango pieces in the palm of your hand or upright on the cutting board. Using your paring knife, make long cuts down the length of the mango without slicing through the skin. Repeat with perpendicular cuts to form cubes.
3. Turn the mango inside out - Gently press the back of the mango to invert the fruit. Use your paring knife to gently pry or slice the cubes away from the skin and into the bowl. Repeat steps two and three with the other half of the mango.
4. Trim fruit from the seed - With the seed flat on the cutting board, cut around the seed to remove any remaining mango flesh. Cube the fruit without cutting through the skin and then pry or slice the cubes away from the skin.
5. Sliced mango will keep refrigerated for several days or can be frozen for up to three months.

I do it this way but skin the whole thing first. That way I can get a proper dice. Be careful, it's slippery!
This works even better with Manila Mangos - the large ones above you do lose a little bit of meat, but the smaller manila mangos are PERFECT when cut that way. Reminds me of breakfast in Tulum. Sigh.
Having grown up eating mangoes all summer long, I guess it never occurred to me that some folks might need a tutorial. While mangoes like the one pictured above are good, given the option, I always try to buy ataulfo, AKA Filipino or champagne, mangoes. They're much sweeter and less fibrous; you can cut them in much the same way.
Anyway, you can also do slices this way, just don't do a "crosshatch" cut to dice. And despite Jess13's comment, I'd really caution against peeling them first -- it's just asking to cut yourself.
I'd also add that mango puree is lovely when added to yogurt or pretty much anything else -- just throw your diced mango in the food process or blender (or just use a stick blender like I do). My baby boy loves eating mango with yogurt, mashed bananas and avocado.
The puree is super easy to store in the freezer, too. Just pour into an ice cube tray, freeze and put the cubes in a bag, or use a freezer-safe container. I bought some freezer jam jars on clearance at the end of last summer and found them perfect for baby food since my son is a hungry boy and goes through those big jars pretty quickly.
I ate a mango for breakfast. This guide would have been very helpful a few hours ago when I was whacking away at that slippery little bugger!
This is also how I cut my avocados!
OXO makes a mango splitter that separates the "cheeks" for you and gets close to the seed. It's really handy to use, and you tend to waste less of the fruit this way. Great buy if you eat a lot of mangos. I love mine!
I saw someone cut a mango this way years ago and since then I've never done it any other way!
Just as a heads up, I learned a few months ago (unfortunately from personal experience) that mango skins contain Urushiol, which is the same toxin that causes contact dermatitis in Poison Ivy and other similar plants. More information can be found on the web, but i HIGHLY recommend NOT eating the mango straight off the skin. I wound up with a pretty icky looking rash across my face and hands.
The mango fruit contains urushiol, an oily substance present in the sap and the peel of the fruit. This oil causes skin irritation and allergy in some individuals. Typical allergies common to mango consumption are skin irritation around the mouth, swelling of the lip, blister formation and severe itching.
I found out the HARD way! My face and lips were swollen for days.
The porcupine method has never worked right for me.
I slice off the lobes and the skinny sides, then cut the lobes into three or four long strips, flip them skin-side to the cutting board and skin them like you would a side of fresh fish.
Much easier to get evenly sized pieces.
Generally, I peel green or unripe mangoes first before separating the cheeks from the seed. Then I either cut the mango into strips (like crudites) or dice them up. I cut ripe mangoes the same way as above, except I skip the dicing bit and just spoon the the fruit out of the skin.
I adore my mom's green mango salsa, which is basically diced unripe mangoes with diced red onion, diced tomatoes and shrimp paste.
After using the dice-and-scoop method for many (15+) years, I'm now in the "scoop it out first" camp mentioned by several of the posters. Let's me get every last bit of pulp, right up to the skin. BUT!!! if someone's going to dice first, absolutely do NOT dice while holding the mango in your hand, that's an invitation to disaster. Put the slippery delicious thing on a cutting board, please.

In Bloom: Victorian Diamond Cluster Ring
Flowers are in bloom with this antique cluster ring of 14k yellow gold. A centered old mine cut diamond of .70 carats (I color; VS1 clarity) makes its presence known with quite the fanfare. A surround of one old European and seven (7) old mine cut diamonds with a total estimated weight of 2.2 carats (I-K color range with one at L-M; SI1 clarity) starts the bells ringing and the cymbals clashing in response to the impact that almost 3 carats of sparkling diamonds makes. Delicately designed shoulders with sensuous curves and voluptuous patterns add a drum roll to the wonder and delight of wearing this Victorian finger ring.
This ring is accompanied by an EGL USA certificate for the center diamond which was removed for accurate weight and grading. With a retail replacement value of $5430 for only the center diamond.
Date: Circa 1880.
Want this in white gold? We can add a layer of 18k white gold at no charge to transform this into an all-white look!
