:Hyundai Continues to Study Pickup for U.S. BuyersBy: Mike Levine Posted: 05-04-07 18:17 PT© 2007 PickupTruck.com, Illustration © 2006 Mark Stehrenberger Design StudiosPage: [1]Following recent news after South Korea signed a free trade agreement with the United States, Hyundai is contemplating using its new 'BH' rear wheel drive platform for a lot more than sedans, coupes, and sports cars."The new chassis opens up new doors. We're considering using it to build a pickup," says Miles Johnson, a Hyundai product public relations manager.The 'BH' architecture was highlighted by Hyundai during the 2007 New York Auto Show. It served as the foundation for the Concept Genesis full-size luxury sedan, which was also powered by Hyundai's all-new DOHC 32-valve 4.6-liter 'Tau' V8 engine."Concept Genesis was a look at our new flexible architecture. It's scalable. And a rear wheel drive, V8 pickup based on it could be something that we build. We're studying this very closely," says Johnson.If 'BH' does spawn a pickup, Hyundai would be following Honda's build approach instead of mimicking truck offerings from General Motors, Ford, Dodge, Nissan, and Toyota.The midsize unibody Honda Ridgeline uses a heavily modified, car-based chassis for its underpinnings instead of traditional body-on-frame construction. The advantage of such a setup is a more comfortable ride, better handling, and under-box trunk space, by using an independent rear suspension instead of rear leaf springs and a solid rear axle. Disadvantages include potential towing and hauling limitations and the lower ground clearance of a soft-roader.Unlike the Honda Ridgeline though, which uses a front-wheel biased, all-wheel-drive system, the Hyundai's rear-wheel-drive solution could work better for carrying heavy loads over the rear wheels. The 'BH' platform is actually more similar to GM's 'Zeta' rear-drive architecture, which will be used for the 2009 Chevrolet Camaro sports car, 2010 Chevrolet Impala sedan, and, we've been speculating, could lead to the return of the Chevrolet El Camino.'BH' isn't the only thing that's flexible, so is the 'Tau' V8. Hyundai says the new eight cylinder motor can produce well over 300-horsepower in its current form and Johnson adds, "We can increase its displacement to get more power if we're going to use it in a pickup." A 'Tau'-propelled pickup would also have two extra cylinders over the Ridgeline's 255-hp 3.5-liter V6.Johnson also said that Hyundai is studying offering a compact pickup, not based on the 'BH' platform. This truck would likely be powered by a four-cylinder engine and would be front-wheel-drive. Its specs would be similar to the small Chevy pickup we recently contemplated.Johnson gave no indication when a decision would be made regarding either truck, or where they might be manufactured.

"Saturday Mornings" at Rocketworld!
Here is Dev, me, Augie and Patrick. Suzanne is M.I.A, as she is...nearly 8 months Preggers (congrats you fertile lady!)
I want to say a BIG THANK YOU to PATRICK MA of Rocket World for letting us have this show and being so supportive, and to everyone who made the effort to make it out for the opening reception. Augie's family made it out to see us from Gilroy and Dev's sister Athena from Canada! I was pleasantly surprised by the turn-out and relieved that the 4 of us didn't end up starring at one another the whole night, alone.
Half the time I forgot to take pictures, and half the pictures came out blurry, but I posted a few up on my FLICKR CLICK HERE. Also, Check out RocketWorld's CLICK HERE (I stole the pic of the 4 of us from Patrick's collection) I also added a new button in my "current shows" link section to the right - my Stumpytown contribution to this group show.
Augie Dev and I got 2 tables at this year's Alternative Press Expo - our 2nd time out - I can't tell you enough how inspiring it was. If you haven't attended, do yourself a favor and go next year. You won't regret it, it's definitely a 'boost' in your creative juice. Check out the few pics I have HERE.

With a sub-30 touchdown season and 59.9 percent completion in 2012, it can be argued that New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning did not have a year that speaks to his status as one of the better quarterbacks in the NFL. There were streaks in the season where he did not throw touchdown passes for consecutive games, something that slowed down a Giants offense that had aspirations of ranking among the league's most explosive.
Next season, a lot of the Giants' offensive success relies on wide receiver Hakeem Nicks' ability to keep himself healthy throughout all 16 games. A formidable threat when he is healthy, Nicks played a key role in the Giants 2011 Super Bowl push. Moreover, the usual 1000-plus yards that he accumulates during a healthy season was missing in the Giants offense last year.
Plagued with injury in 2012, Nicks never seemed like the player that emerged in 2010 and 2011 — the player that was a force in the red zone and was so effective at keeping defenses from focusing solely on the Giants' other wideouts: Victor Cruz, Mario Manningham, and Steve Smith.
Notably, Nicks' absence impacted Cruz most severely, as his numbers declined severely during Nicks' recovery from injury — a hindrance to an otherwise-stellar 2012 season for Cruz.
The Giants offense sputtered at times due to its unhealthy No. 1 wide receiver. Regarded as one of the league's best when healthy, Nicks needs to have a healthy 2013 season in order to have a successful one. If he repeats his injury-marred 2012, then the Giants offense will continue to be horribly inconsistent.

The Mediterranean diet is more than just a diet - its really a lifestyle change that replaces empty processed food with delicious, natural gourmet food. For fashion models this diet makes perfect sense, as it is packed full of antioxidants to stay young, beautiful, and energetic.
The Greeks, Italians, Cypriots and Turks enjoy longer, more disease-free lives than those following the Western European diet lifestyle. Many doctors also recommend the Mediterranean Diet to patients that have heart problems .
This diet is known as the heart-healthy and longevity diet according to many researchers. It is low in cholesterol and high in antioxidants, fiber, vitamins, minerals and unsaturated fat.
It contains a higher proportion of grains, fruits, vegetables and nuts than most other diets. Fish, poultry, olive oil, yogurt and cheese can be consumed in moderation, along with minimal amounts of red meat and heart healthy red wine. If you love fish, fresh gourmet food and a daily drink, this diet is for you!
The great thing about the Mediterranean diet is the way you can eat a delicious variety of food. Here are a few tips for meals you should be eating.
On the Mediterranean diet you should steer clear of anything fried or very processed. That includes many foods that are advertised as low-fat or low-calorie, such as diet sodas and desserts. Here's a more complete list:
The Acai Berry Diet | The Apple Cider Vinegar Diet | Atkins Diet | The Blood Type Diet | Calorie Restriction | Cleansing and Fasting | The French Women Diet | The Grapefruit Diet | The Great Skin Diet | The Green Tea Diet | The Jenny Craig Diet | The Low Fat Diet | The Mediterranean Diet | The Model Detox Diet | The Raw Food Diet | The Slimfast Diet | The South Beach Diet | Weightwatchers Diet Plan | The Zone Diet

I want to say a huge thank you to everyone who turned out on Saturday for the march to Save Leiston Library. Thanks to your enthusiasm and energy the campaign has received unprecedented media coverage on TV, radio and the local press. Suffolk County Council can be left in no doubt about the strength of opposition in Leiston to their outrageous plans to 'divest' the library service. These ill-conceived proposals threaten the future of libraries and the essential services they help to deliver across the whole of Suffolk.
James Hargrave, who spoke at the march, has posted some video footage of the event on his blog. You can view it here. The excellent coverage in the East Anglian Daily Times included a gallery of photos which you can see here.
As our campaign develops we will continue to oppose SCC's divestment agenda for the library service. It remains our position that Suffolk's library service should remain one which is delivered by the County Council with professional library staff at its heart, and which should remain completely accountable to the people of Suffolk. The campaign has to be fought on a number of fronts. We will:
- challenge the legitimacy of what we believe to be a fundamentally flawed consultation process;
- question the legality of the divestment proposals which could contravene Suffolk County Council's statutory duty to provide a comprehensive and efficient library service for all who wish to use it;
- establish working links with other communities and explore ways in which, by working together, we can secure the long-term future of the library service, not just locally but across Suffolk.
Finally, I want to reiterate my intention to create a community-led group which can work towards our goal of ensuring that Leiston retains a viable library service. I see this as a vital next step to ensuring that the campaign in Leiston is seen as a legitimate representative of the views of the local community. Please contact the campaign if you want to be involved.

Let's get this out there up front: I have not read the Stieg Larsson novel on which this movie is based. Nor have I seen the original Swedish film adaptation. Neither have I read any of the hundreds of articles written about said book or either of the movies. I come at this much ballyhooed project with a blank slate.
It's pretty good. I now understand why it has so many fans — unlike the "Twilight" series, the popularity of which I will never understand.
For the precious few among you who are unfamiliar with the story, it goes like this: Mikael Blomkvist (Daniel Craig) is a journalist caught up in a scandal over his latest work. He's approached by the enigmatic Henrik Vanger (Christopher Plummer), who wants him to investigate a 40-year-old missing persons case involving his niece.
Elsewhere, a heavily pierce and tattooed young woman named Lisbeth Salander struggles to get by despite her talents as a computer hacker. She's been declared a ward of the state due to unspecified mental health issues. The man who controls her purse-strings is, well, to call him sleazy would be vastly understating it.
These two story lines converge when Mikael hires Lisbeth to be his research assistant. As the duo dig deeper into the mystery they risk putting their own lives in danger.
With a bizarre, hypnotic opening credits sequence, it's clear from the beginning the director David Fincher is right at home in this dark, disturbed world. "The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo" is at times brutal, at times confusing, at times thrilling and always compelling. I'm well known for complaining when films run too long but this one held my attention throughout its 2.5-hour-plus running time.
On the negative side, the film does have a few too many endings and it's difficult to keep up with the investigation (I think you're just supposed to assume that the leads know what they're doing and that they're very good at it, so don't sweat the details). I was also disappointed in the reveal of the villain, as it seemed too obvious.
What makes the film work are the moody atmospherics and strong performances, especially Rooney Mara in the title role. Her performance is captivating and she really holds the whole thing together.

Last Thursday, the temperature soared to nearly 70 degrees. I ran outside on the trail in a t-shirt and shorts. In FEBRUARY. In IOWA!
Here we are, four days later, and it's 30 degrees, drizzling, with the promise of snow showers later in the day.
I pulled out my light box this morning for the very first time this winter, hoping it will help me through...so a rough patch doesn't turn into a deepening chasm. Yesterday I felt grouchy and out of sorts. Today, I'm sleepy and grumbly and staring out at the gray day, wishing I was anywhere else but here.
Snap. Out. Of. It.
I so wanted that beautiful day from last week to be a sign of things to come. And I guess it was. Too bad the "things to come" are a month or two off...

I was asked by the British Kendo Association's new grading officer to suggest some questions for the written exam that forms part of all UK grading examinations.
I won't reveal my suggestions, just in case they want to surprise you with them at your next grading, but the exercise made me think about the essential qualities for each grade. Obviously the written questions reflect the points that the panel are looking for in the jitsugi and kata sections, but your answers confirm whether or not you understand the theory as well.
Remember that the qualities for each grade are incremental. When you take the examination for second dan, you need to maintain all the qualities you demonstrated for first dan, plus the new elements that are unique to second dan. Most country organisations have a list of the requirements for each grade on their web-site and the FIK and EKF sites have the FIK guidelines, so if you are preparing for an examination make sure you read them. The points that I have listed are those that stand out to me as essential for each grade, but this is just my personal view.
- Ikkyu – The first official grade and hopefully the one that you will build on as part of a long and successful kendo career. You have been working hard to build correct kihon, but my "must have" is good reigi, demonstrating correct ritsu-rei and sonkyo . Your chakuso, or the way you wear your equipment and hold the shinai should also be correct.
- Shodan- This is where we look more critically at your technique, so you need to have developed strong spirit and correct posture and kamae and be able to strike accurately with ki-ken-tai-itchi.
- Nidan – Fluidity of movement and footwork should now be added, so we are looking at your ability to deliver nidan waza.
- Sandan – This is where you have to show that you really understand distance, timing and opportunity. The beginning stage of seme is something you should strive to demonstrate.
- Yondan – "Seme and tame". You need to show that you can break your opponents centre and use debana and oji waza.
- Godan – "More seme and tame" but this time going further to show that you can dominate with the strength of your kigamae and to pull your opponent in for oji waza.
- Rokudan and Nanadan – For these it is about demonstrating the understanding of riai or the rationale for each technique.
- Hachidan – I am still thinking about that one.

And indeed at Hockham this morning, light was very poor with varying amounts of mist, however, I could just make out Teal through the 'scope, a great insight into their swamp-like world.
|A Grey Heron stands motionless by a ditch at Hockham 08/01/17
More obvious was a single Little Egret hunting in the shallows, the left foot being used to stir up the silt in search for food items. A couple of Grey Herons were also seen.
The rich woodland periphery held at least 4 'drumming' Great Spotted Woodpeckers. A single male Tawny Owl called from nearby Oak woodland. Two male Stock Doves sang.
Thrush species were represented by 30+ Redwings, a few Blackbirds, and a single Mistle Thrush.
An early morning overhead movement of 50+ Siskins was seen, presumably these birds had left their roost for their feeding grounds. In a tall Birch 30+ Goldfinches held onto the finest outer branches picking at seeds.

Claude Puel is unhappy that his Southampton side are being described as "boring" in the build-up to their EFL Cup semi-final tie against Liverpool.
The Saints are at home for the first leg on Wednesday, but go into the game with some supporters and sections of the media critical over their record of only 19 goals scored from their first 20 Premier League games.
Only Middlesbrough and Hull City have worse goalscoring record in the top-flight, but Puel does not think their tally in front of goal is a fair representation of Saints' performances this season.
"I don't know why people say we are boring," said the Frenchman.
"Since the beginning of the season we have been playing strong games.
"It is difficult to keep up performance levels when you are playing every three days and we know we have to improve and be more clinical.
"We can have a lot of opportunities and it is important to continue this work."
Puel urged Southampton to play freely given they are considered underdogs against Liverpool and hopes his team can improve on their 0-0 home league draw with the Reds in November.
He continued: "For the moment it is difficult to speak about the final. We are playing against a strong team so it is important to consider just this game on Wednesday.
"This is an exciting challenge. We know we are not the favourites, particularly with the second leg being away from home, but we have nothing to lose. We just have to play at a good level, to take pleasure and to get a result.
"Last time we played a strong game against them and had a good defensive organisation.
"It is important for this game to have a little more of the ball and try to control the game.
"But that is difficult against this team because of their ability to recover the ball and their strong pressing. They keep the ball well."

The rate of obesity grows every year not only in the United States, but all over the world. The United States was ranked in the top 10 chart of the "Fattest Countries in the World" with a 74.1%, while Nauru is being ranked number 1 with a 94.5% of people being obese or overweight (www.healthylifejournal.org). Imagine how many people could die each year if they don't learn or practice how to have a healthy lifestyle. Also, consider how difficult their life is going to be while being obese. Obese people will definitely have experiences of difficulty in walking or sleeping, they also will have a hard time doing things they wanted, and will miss out the real world while staying home all the time. Obesity in the United States has killed more than 400,000 Americans each year.
Not everybody knows what the term "obesity" is. The term obesity basically means a medical condition in which excess body fats that have accumulated to the extent that it may have adverse effects on one's health. There are five stages of classifications on body weights. The first stages are people that are normal weight, second stages define as overweight, then obese, severe obese, and last stage a person that is morbidly obese. Obesity is defined with BMI or Body Mass Index. A body Mass Index is an individual's body mass divided by the square root of a person's height. A person who has a BMI of 30 or more is considered obese, and if he or she has a BMI equal to or more than 25 that person is considered overweight. Being obese or overweight is a dangerous situation to watch out for, (www.obesityaction.org).
Obesity can be a lifelong issue not only because it affects adults but also teenagers and children. More than 32 percent of all children in the United States today are either overweight or obese. Childhood obesity has been increasing tremendously in the past 30 years. It has increased from 7 percent to 30 percent in the past decade (www.cdc.gov). Childhood obesity has serious consequences and is dangerous because it leads to adults' obesity if it is not prevented. Obesity starts at a young age because of parental neglect or abuse. Parents either feed their kids too much food or feed them too much food that contains many carbs, fat, and sugar, and do not encourage them to do physical activities to burn off fats. (In today's society because parents are too busy to look out for their kids, letting them choose what to eat and not encourage them to have more (????????????????) Also, from watching too much T.V will lead to obesity. Kids today spent at least 55 hours a week not only watching T.V but also playing video games (CITE). According to Nielsen, "kids from ages 2-5 have spent nearly 32.5 hours just from watching television and from ages 6-11 has spends more than 28 hours from watching T.V (www.thedailygreen.com). Having a T.V makes children to lazy to go outside to take a walk or run around, but will encourage them to constantly eat snacks such as unhealthy chips, cookies, candy, and chocolate.
Childhood obesity also will lead to negative effects on health if not taken care of. Childhood obesity has both immediate and long term...

I am learning about a blogging phenomenon and apparently award season is upon us. Since being pregnant with my second child, I have rekindled my blog and spent more time working on it and growing my readership. I have had some amazing opportunities through my blog and reviewed some fantastic products and I love the blogging community I have become part of. I am very aware than compared to others my blog is small, but I am proud of it none the less. That is why I would love to be nominated for a MAD Blog Award.
MAD stands for Mum and Dad and is a celebration of parenting blogs. You don't have to be mad to blog but it sure helps. I am about 101% sure I won't be shortlisted and I am OK with that, but I thought it would be fun to jump on the bandwagon. I have seen the MAD Blog awards described as giving your favourite bloggers a hug, so I will be nominating my favourite bloggers and who knows, I might get a couple of hugs in return.
Also, I have seen photos of Dr. Ranj involved with the MAD Blog Awards and quite frankly, I love him.
I would love to be nominated in the Best Pregnancy Blog category, as I have really enjoyed writing about my journey initially becoming a mum for the first time, and now a mum of two under two. I am really proud of my pregnancy posts including my Pregnancy Announcement, Gender Reveal, a look at what Autumn meant to me, the challenges of being pregnant with a toddler and my guide on the last few weeks of pregnancy to name a few. My hope is that these posts made someone smile or not feel alone with the challenges of pregnancy. If you liked reading about my pregnancy, I would love it if you would vote for me!
There are several other categories you can vote in and here is a handy guide to who will be getting my vote if you fancy voting for some others too!
Blog of The Year – BrummyMumof2 gets my vote for this one. I just really like her! She is so honest and normal and funny. I love her Wicked Wednesdays linky and her use of YouTube when her kids wake up too early. Legend.
Best Baby Blog – Hannah from HiBabyBlog has got my vote. Not only is her little girl Luisa super cute, but she has a great style of writing and covers a variety of things on her blog. Big fan.
Best Preschool Blog – My vote goes to Leslie from MessyBlogUK. I feel like Leslie and I are living a similar life, juggling a toddler and a baby. I love all her crafty posts and her love of learning through play.
Best Writer – My vote for this particular category goes to Hannah from Budding Smiles. I love the tone of all of her posts and how honest she is. Hannah clearly adores her little boy Toby and writes about him with such warmth – it is a joy to read. She has also been very candid about her pregnancy so far and I enjoy following her journey.
Best New Blog – My vote here goes to lovely Laura at Mummy LaLa. I am in awe of the fact her blog is under a year old and how great she is doing! She seems super organised and has loads of interesting features and series on her blog. I love how her blog looks and the things she writes about. She also seems like a ruddy nice person whose eye liner is on point. Oh, and Rowan is adorable!
There are some other categories too but I have not decided who to vote for for those just yet. Who is your favourite blogger?
If you would like to vote for me for Best Pregnancy Blog please click here and enter my blog url which is www.forgetmeknit.co.uk. You have to vote for your favourite blog of the year before you can get to the pregnancy blog category. Thanks so much! Xx

Alfred called Batman when Dick awakened. Dick admitted to not stopping Tarantula from killing Blockbuster; Batman told him he couldn't forgive him until he'd forgiven himself. Dick visited Sophia and asked her to give up the mob business and go back to school. He then suited up and paid a visit to the Wilsons. He gave Rose a Geiger counter for the green K implanted in her eye socket. He told her father he'd be back to make him pay for destroying Bludhaven. Rose left with Nightwing. Dick picked up Barbara and proposed.

Lee Continues Hot Streak in Springfield
By: Justin Felisko
September 11, 2016
SPRINGFIELD, Mo. – Here are three things we learned from the PFIWestern.com Invitational, presented by Bass Pro Shops, this weekend at JQH Arena.
Lee continues hot streak in Springfield (9-11-16)
Mike Lee may not have any event wins on his resume in the past two weeks, but the 2004 World Champion has made a significant move in the world standings.
Lee rode Red Moon for 85.75 points to finish second in the Built Ford Tough Championship Round and second overall with a 2-for-4 showing in Springfield.
"That bull has a little bit of forward (action)," Lee said. "The closer it gets to the whistle, he tries to lean out. I got behind, but I didn't quit him and got the job done."
Lee earned 400 points to the world standings. He picked up 240 points for finishing second in the event average, 100 for winning Round 1 with his 87.5-point ride on Organized Crime and 60 for his championship-round ride.
The 33-year-old is up to eighth in the world standings after earning 530 points in the last two weeks. He is 5-for-10 during that stretch and had begun Thackerville, Oklahoma, last week 10th in the world standings.
"I made a mistake on them other bulls, but God showed me the mistake I made," Lee said. "I was real stiff and I had my head down and my hips weren't really quick. I lost my snappiness.
"You fix your problems and keep your mind focused on the goal. You can't quit. You can't get down on yourself."
He trails world leader Kaique Pacheco by 1,546.17 points with six events remaining until the 2016 Built Ford Tough World Finals on Nov. 2-6.
Regardless, Lee has no plans about putting too much thought into his position in the world title race.
"No and I am not going to either," Lee said with a smirk. "When I won it the first time I wasn't thinking about it either. I was just thinking about how much fun I was having. "
Dirteater caps BFTS-best third win with 86.75 points on Jack Daniel's After Party
Ryan Dirteater already had his PBR-high third BFTS victory clinched on Sunday when he slid onto the back of Jack Daniel's After Party during the championship round.
The newly ranked No. 7 rider in the world standings didn't bask in the glory of victory too soon and capped his perfect victory with an 86.75-point ride on Jack Daniel's After Party.
It was best ride of the weekend for the Hulbert, Oklahoma, cowboy and his championship-round victory earned him an extra 100 points toward the world standings.
"It was pretty special to me because I had been on After Party four times – and that was five years ago," Dirteater said. "Then he came out of retirement and I had been wanting to get on him since Chad got him. I finally got the opportunity and that was my first pick if I was coming back first regardless."
Dirteater had the top pick in the draft by being the only rider to have gone 3-for-3. He rode Gear Jammer for 84.5 points in Round 1 Friday, Shattered Dreams for 84.25 points Saturday in Round 2 and Double Doze for 80.25 points in Round 3.
The 27-year-old has successfully ridden After Party in four of their five meetings.
Sunday was only Dirteater's third round win of the season.
"That was a great ride," said stock contractor Chad Berger "Ryan has rode him before and that bull still bucks good. I thought he should have been a little more. The bull bucked good and Ryan rode him. It worked out perfect."
Dirteater earned 725 world points in Springfield and is 1,382.83 points behind Pacheco for the world No. 1 ranking.
He began the weekend 13th in the world standings.
"I am seventh in the standings and there are six events left before the Finals," Dirteater said. "It is looking pretty good for me this year."
Pearl Harbor posts 45.5-point bull score
Pearl Harbor continued his march toward qualifying for the 2016 World Finals as a World Champion Bull contender by bucking off Cody Nance in 3.98 seconds during the championship round.
The 5-year-old used his brute strength to whip Nance off the side of him for his seventh consecutive bull score of 45 or more points.
"I thought he was really good," Berger said. "Big Cat was a little better this weekend, but he is definitely one of the rankest bulls in the world."
Pearl Harbor was competing in the championship round after J.B. Mauney was unable to attempt him on Saturday night during the 15/15 Bucking Battle after Pearl Harbor rocketed Mauney forward and into the steel bars inside the bucking chutes.
Berger's Big Cat was the high-marked bull of the weekend. Big Cat was marked 46 points for a 1.85-second buckoff of Wallace de Oliveira in the 15/15 Bucking Battle.
Pearl Harbor's successful out against Nance brings Pearl Harbor's World Champion bull score qualifier average bull score to 45.69 points per out. He has firmly solidified his positioning for one of the seven World Champion Bull contender spots.
Still, Berger said he may opt to buck Pearl Harbor in one or two more BFTS events before the Finals.
"We might see him once or twice" Berger said. "It just depends how our schedule works for me. That bull is alone in Texas so it is a little bit harder for me to get him with my other bulls. We will try to get him to Colorado Springs maybe. Then we will see what happens."
Injury Updates
Two-time World Champion J.B. Mauney attempted to compete during Round 3 on Sunday afternoon following his multitude of injuries from the 15/15 Bucking Battle.
However, for the second consecutive day, trouble inside the bucking chute got the best of Mauney.
Paradise City Slinger yanked Mauney forward in a close-to-identical situation that Mauney had with Pearl Harbor on Saturday night as he was preparing to nod for the gate.
Longtime friend Kasey Hayes pulled Mauney out of the chute as the 29-year-old leaned over in pain, clutching at his left shoulder.
Mauney eventually was unable to attempt Paradise City Slinger and did not finish the event.
According to Dr. Tandy Freeman, Mauney aggravated his left shoulder injury and is questionable for Charlotte.
There were only 11 riders in the championship round because of a series of injuries.
World No. 5 Fabiano Vieira sustained a concussion and lacerated his forehead when his head struck the gate post as Swamp Wreck left the chute. He is questionable for Charlotte.
Jorge Valdiviezo aggravated a left groin injury attempting to ride Cut the Cord (2.42 seconds) in Round 3. He is questionable for Charlotte.
Mason Lowe did not compete in the championship round because of a left groin strain he sustained attempting to ride Mr. Deeds Jr. (7.72 seconds) in Round 3. He is questionable for Charlotte.

Did you know...
Necessity is the mother of invention - an English proverb which means necessity or difficult situations encourage incentive solutions. In other words, the expression means that the necessity for something encourages the invention of something that meets the need.
So leave it to a woman to be inventive. A woman invented the windshield wiper and the dishwasher? It's true. Mary Anderson received a patent for her car-window cleaning device in 1903. Anderson's invention came about during a trip to New York City when the
Alabama-born inventor noticed that streetcar drivers had to open the
windows of their cars when it rained in order to see. As a solution,
Anderson invented a swinging arm device with a rubber blade that was
operated by the driver from within the vehicle using a lever.
In the 1893 World's Fair Josephine Cochrane presented the new advanced dishwasher. Cochrane was quite wealthy and was the granddaughter of John Fitch, the inventor of the steamboat. She never washed dishes herself and invented the dishwasher because her servants were chipping her fine china. Okay, so she was rich, and didn't need to use it, but hey, she was smart to invent something she needed.
Mary Phelps Jacob, the inventor of the modern brassiere. This device was actually invented by a woman, believe it or not..... In the early part of the 20th century, women's undergarments were barbarous, awkward and very unhealthy for the wearer. Enter Mary Phelps Jacob, a young New York socialite who became
exasperated with the antiquated corsets after finding it impossible to
prevent the support rods from poking out from underneath the fabric of
her evening gown. Determined to create a more comfortable, less
cumbersome alternative, Jacob took two silk handkerchiefs and, with help
from her maid, sewed them together using some pink ribbon and cord.
I'm not convinced that men don't make bras now. It's absolutely one of the worst things to shop for EVER, next in line - bathing suits. Am I right?
Anywho, it's really not surprising that women were inventing greatness back in the 1800's, is it?
What is one of your favorite inventions?

The smallest player on the court came up huge as the Cardinals survived a nail-biter on the road at Northwest College in frigid Powell, Wyoming to win 87-86. Sophomore point guard Sam Dowd scored two clutch lead changing buckets in the final 20 seconds, including the game winner with 3.3 seconds. The Cardinals held on for the win in the final seconds to go to 8-1 on the season, ending Northwest College's 10 game winning streak.
The game went back and forth in the final minute with four lead changes and two questionable no calls. With the Cardinals nursing a one point lead at 83-82 with 27 seconds left, Niko Bevens was stripped of the ball near midcourt after a little contact. Point guard Jonathan Koud completed the steal and the layup to give the Trappers the lead, 84-83. The Cardinals played on without a timeout and Sam Dowd drove the lane and made a tough layup to regain the lead for the Cardinals, 85-84. The Trappers returned the favor with Koud going coast to coast after the inbounds pass to lay the ball in, after a near travel, to go up 86-85. After a timeout with 11 seconds left, the Cardinals drew up a play, leaving Dowd with the decision to penetrate and dish, or shoot. After the inside was defended well by the Trappers, Dowd pulled up and drilled the free throw line jumper and game winner, despite a player falling at this feet.
Dowd finished with a game high 24 points, and post Ziggy Satterthwaite had a double-double with 20 points and 10 rebounds. Markus Golder had 13 points and Jalen Burkett had 7 points and a key offensive rebound after a missed free throw to give the Cardinals possession to set up the exciting final minute.
Sukhjot Bains had 22 to lead the Trappers (10-4). Koud finished with 14 points, and 3-point sharp shooter Skyler Zabriske added 12.
The Cardinals return to action on Friday in the finale of the Northwest College tournament against the Wyoming All-Stars. Game time is at 4:00pm PST on the Cardinals webcast. The Cards will play the game without freshman shooter Niko Bevens, who departs the tournament early to attend a family wedding.

Has anyone else experienced a darker skin color since starting PE??
I've noticed that in the 2 plus months that I've been doing very intense PE sessions that the skin on my shaft has gotten darker, not the head or gland area just the shaft. I am a very white person so it is very noticeable. There's no pain or anything just a change in color.

49ers DT Buckner named to all-rookie team
Updated 10:36 am, Tuesday, January 17, 2017

Need to get your cycles run through quickly? Go 220-volt. That boost allows the sterilizer to more rapidly get up to temperature and pressure, effectively cutting your average cycle time in half! The 2540MK and EZ10K have an unwrapped cycle time of only nine minutes from a warm start.
No other sterilizers on the market can boast this combination of speed and capacity. The only options with this speed (but much smaller capacity) would be the small 7" systems like the 1730 or the M7, or the single-cassette Statim systems.
TheTuttnauer 2540MK, while quicker than an average sterilizer, is still a manual model, meaning that while it might have fewer moving parts, it also lacks the automated features you will find in the EZ10K. The biggest difference is that the EZ10K has closed-door HEPA-air-filtered drying. On the 2540MK, you will need to remove your instruments to let them dry (and you will probably want to handle them in instrument pouches). On the EZ10K, however, you can actually have the system run a closed-door drying cycle. Open the door and your instruments are nice and dry.

NOTE TO DENTISTS: We are not authorized to sell to dentists. If you are affiliated with a hospital, we can sell to the hospital and ship there. But we cannot ship directly to a dentist office. No exceptions. Sorry!
It might be a hassle initially to set up an outlet for 220-volt, but the advantage in speed (depending on your work flow and caseload), might prove well worth it.
We can provide you with all of the electrical specs you will want to provide your electrician so that he can have the outlet ready for you in advance of your sterilizer arriving. And if your building is actually 208-volt? No worries. We have an easy solution for that as well!
Family owned and operated for over 32 years, Fisher Biomedical specializes in consulting with clients on their sterilization needs, having worked with medical, dental, and opthalmological offices, surgery centers and hospitals, veterinary practices, colleges and universities, government agencies and military installations, everything from small med spas up through major institutions and manufacturing laboratories across the USA.
When you call us, you speak with an expert who can answer your questions and help you not only find the right system, at the right price — but also get up and running successfully, rapidly, effectively.
No other seller or service-provider offers this level of expertise and support. Don't settle for companies that
merely ship you a box and tell you 'good luck'!

The secret to having a good time while skiing or riding is to have properly functioning boots. There are many different models of boots to accommodate different foot shapes. Here at Viking, we know that a great fitting boot is the key to great performance. And great performance means you'll be a return customer!
That's why we have a large staff of boot fitters, thoroughly trained in the nuances of fit and balance. By analyzing your foot for length, shape and unique features, matching your feet to the right boots, customizing them to fit you and your style of riding, we guarantee that your boots perform on the hill.
Beside using its unique shape to choose the right boot type, we use your feet to create the ultimate link to your boots – custom footbeds. A well-crafted footbed is the foundation that provides support, comfort and warmth; all are essential for enjoying your sport.
Custom footbeds also stabilize your feet in the boots, providing more comfort and better control of your ski or board. They eliminate the need for over-tightening, the primary cause of numbness and cold feet.
We carry custom footbeds from Sidas, Superfeet, Fastech, Instaprint and Remind. Ask us about heat-molded liners for the ultimate in personalized custom fit.
Canting is correction of the knee alignment in relation to the midline of the boot. Corrections can be made in different ways depending on what needs to be done. Your boot fit affects how your skis work, whether for you, or against you. Balance – left to right, edge to edge, tip to tail – is critical. It's also important to balance your stance and body mechanics to keep you in a
position of strength. This is just one of the things we do at Viking to make a difference in your skiing.
We diagnose alignment with the advanced TekScan System, a real-time computerized pressure sensor that measures forces inside your boot as well as beneath it (what the ski "feels"). This enables us to achieve proper alignment, solve uneven pressure points and set proper boot canting and adjustments.
Whether you ski once a year or five times a week, boots that hurt, give you cold, numb feet, or don't help you become a better skier are worthless – regardless of what you paid for them.
Rest assured that when we fit your boots with care and attention to detail, they will fit right – down to the very last tweak.
That's a promise.

The internet is rich with websites that say they fight evil; yet they use occultic ways which are contrary to the teachings of the Catholic Church.
Be warned! The information in these sites do not bring real healing and deliverance. Real healing and deliverance are not just the healing of body or physical ailments. The Catholic Church looks more on the fruits of healing beyond physical healing. The healing of one's soul is of utmost importance. Does the person become closer to God and to the Church? Does he become faithful to the Law? Does he become more prayerful? Evidence of formation and transformation must be seen in the healing process.
Some sites call themselves paranormal investigators, spirit questors, psychics, etc. These are very rampant especially during feasts of All Saints' Day and All Souls' Day. They twist the meaning of these feasts to horror which they call halloween. These groups and their practices are evil because:
- They are forbidden by the Church. The Catholic faithful are expected to display holiness in obedience. Disobedience is pride. The author of pride is Satan. Therefore, disobedience is of Satan!
- These groups lead the people away from the true teachings of the Church. They bring about confusion and curiosity to evil, which are two of the most effective tactics of the devil to infest people. They snatch people away from the Church. People who buy their false teachings and practices tend to put the Church behind their ordeal, deeming the Church unimportant. Of course they would not appear directly as such. But their beliefs, actions, words and practices would be enough proof that they operate independently from the Church. The Church whom Christ Himself built has the full and absolute authority over the enemies of souls.
One site posted their schedule of meeting to discuss their passion in occultism. Let's pray for these people that they may be freed from their bondage with evil. Warn your friends and relatives. Let's stand up for God and for His Church, the Catholic Church.
Saint Benedict, pray for us.
Saint Michael the archangel, pray for us.
Our Lady of Mount Carmel, pray for us.
Holy Trinity, One God, deliver us from evil. Amen.

Clever Basement Storage Tips
It's essential to organize your house so it's both attractive and functional. Decluttering your basement is probably not what you need right now but once you get it done, you're overwhelmed with how much unnecessary space it had occupied. Since you're always tweaking things, and your house is never completely done, you might want to have a look at your basement and move things around for some more elbowroom. Keeping every room of your house uncluttered is considered a good habit and can become an exciting home project that you and your family take over once every few months or once a year.
Whether it's shelves by the stairs, shelves under the stairs or ceiling to wall cabinets… you get to purge what you've piled up in your basement in an efficient and convenient way.
Just imagine how much time and energy you'll be saving the next time you decide to fetch an item you need that's stored in your basement.
There never seems to be enough storage space in your basement so it's crucial to take advantage of every little space you have left. There are methods to declutter a basement. Let us show you the clever ones that you can make or buy that make you feel good in your basement once again.
That's exactly how it sounds. They're buckets in which you can store the most unused and unnecessary items that nobody ever uses and doesn't want to throw away. You can keep each bucket on your basement staircase step and if you want to go the extra mile: paint them in different colors so it looks and feels beautiful. You can even label them to organize.
Do you collect many things and don't know where to keep them? Are forced to leave them in your basement? Staircase shelving is the solution to your problems. It saves space and looks good. Here is where you can exercise the "out of sight, out of mind" saying.
Here is where you can exercise the "out of sight, out of mind" principle. A platform such as this hides away all of your stuff while keeping the room usable.
Add personality through charming recycled boxes.
Basements are a crowd-pleaser for sleepovers when cousins or friends want to jump into bed together and get cozy while watching a scary movie. You can keep sheets and other bedding stuff on a ladder to make your basement look more rustic. It introduces a sense of belongingness and personality in the basement
There are all sort of creative ideas for using rope in home décor. In the basement, make sufficient space where a shelving system like this can be hung with the help of ropes. This look gorgeous and lasts longer.

In the last debate, we discussed which Pokémon species and game was our favorite. With hundreds of critters and a dozen different games to choose from, it was probably the most varied range of votes I've ever seen in a debate before. While the winner was pretty clear, there was a ten way tie for both fourth and fifth place, and over sixty different pokémon with votes cast for them. Below are the top results from each category:
As you can see above, even though Pokémon Gold received the most votes, the Red/Blue release pair was obviously the winning team of games. For this week, we're going to share similar nightmare stories with each other from possibly every console and genre from the past few decades. I want to hear what's the hardest game you've ever played. Was it a game with insanely difficult enemies and bosses? Or a game with terrible controls that made it practically unplayable? Perhaps the game was so awful that you could never even figure out what to do? Or maybe you had the balls to play an untranslated foreign import game and failed miserably?
What's the hardest game you've ever played, and why? Give it some serious thought, cast your votes and reasons, get some friends to share their opinions as well, and check back next week for the winner.
Bonus Question: What is the easiest game you've ever played? Why?

Another week in the books. I have to say April is my favorite month of the year. Not just because my birthday occurs during it. It is due to the Spring weather and early season races which gets you excited for the season ahead.
When I looked at my goal races for 2010, I was really interested in the European Duathlon Championships in Nancy France May 1st. I can know officially declared I will be representing Ireland and racing with my Dutch training partner Dirk De Heer. About 10 years ago I got to put on the Irish Singlet a couple of times as a Junior for Cross Country. This is an opportunity for me as I decided to fully focus on Multisport starting 2010 and I would like to thank everyone at Triathlon Ireland for being so helpful.
More to come on the Europeans, back to the weeks training.
Mon- Tempo run 8miles 44:50 on the canal. Just locked into 5 35 pace after the first mi. CORE afterwards.
Tue-AM 3miles jog and light Swim w Zac PM 5miles easy after working all day.
Wed-PM Bike 37.5miles @ Hains for most of it.
Run 9miles total (3miles 19:00- 5 X 800/200 w 200 jog between. 2:24/33sec pace)
Thu-Run 6miles easy
Bike 35.5 miles short reps with Dirk. 1mi-2mi-3mi-1mi-2mi-3mi
Fri-Bike 6miles to the race.
Run 8.5 miles total .Crystal City 5km Tempo pace with Matt. 15:44. Relaxed.
Sat: Swim 1900 with Zac, who was flying. W-out was 4X500. I did 3 and did 2X100, 1X200 on the last, as I was hurting. Shoulder was sore at work afterwards. After the Duathlon I need to swim 5 times a week.
Sun: Run 8miles Total. Earth Day 5km. Tough course. ran 15:41, but the effort was a lot faster. Ask Nate B and Erik K! Last mile was all the way up hill, first was fast we went out in 4:45 then the second was twisty just a bit above 5:00. But overall a fun race.
Bike 15miles afterward the race. It was cold out and didn't have enough clothes on.
PM Bike 19miles on my ride for Nancy. Thanks to Revolution Cycles for allowing me to borrow a nice Trek 4.7 . Best bike store in the DC Area. Check out their new store at Crystal City.

The Dolan Keeps on Rollin !
Duathlon Race # 2 for 2010
This was a race that I decided to do when I selected my focus races in 2009.
It was listed as a 5k-30k-5k, but the bike was over 34k ! No worries as it was a great bike route. A little windy but rolling, which suits my riding style.
The field was pretty strong and I was excited about racing after some good bike workouts in the last 2 weeks. After a not so prefect warm up- we set off at a decent clip. 5:03 1st mile with 1/2mi of it on dirt. Both runs were mostly on a twisty bike path, out and back. Going into T1, three of us made up the pack hitting 15:29-30 for a bit under 5k . I had a good transition and got out 1st on the bike. (after a scare for a split second as I looked at the wrong spot for my helmet). The bike started up a big ass hill. about a mile long. I rode Lance style checking my competition out . But their were no pace takers or makers, I decided after a mile to roll as it was only 30k right !! JK. I hit a solid pace after I got out of the park (just under 2mi into the bike)
The wind was weird, felt like a cross wind but I found myself hitting 38MPH on the flats . So as per usually on the bike I focused on feel more that pace. Knowing I could run a strong 2nd run if needed, I didn't push all out on the bike. Also normally I don't like to lead this earlier but prefer to come from behind in the second half , So I played a little poker by checking, checking on the turns while keeping my cards close to my chest . Don't get me wrong I was riding good tempo putting in a solid effort but not all out, right around 12mi I could see a guy closing in so I let up a little. thinking I had only 14mins left on the bike, going off 30k listed race distance . Anyway this Fregre guy who I discovered later was a strong cyclist (did some serious Pro riding) caught me with 2mi to go. No bit deal, as I knew he had to ride pretty much all out to make up the ground. I could have out split him if required in a Tri or TT. But its a Run-Bike-Run not a TT !
I relaxed and got focused to run, Going into the 2nd run I started easy and worked into it, my goal was to hold a strong pace. No need to crush it.
I honestly had to say I knew it would only be a 2 man race and when I didn't see my buddy Dirk until 1/2mi to go in the run, I was worried that he had crashed or something. It turned out he went way way off route on the bike. Which sucks but I was proud of how positive he was about the situation. A true testament to his strong personally. Bigger things to come from Dirk !
Great race and will be on the 2011 Race Schedule.

Take back the City !
Training has been going well and the store is busy busy everyday. Got to love the Springtime weather. Come in and get your new Brooks Green Silence.
PR or Coarse Record guaranteed !
Last week I was motivated after the Powerman Race. I put in a solid week, Here are my totals and some highlights:
Swim-6750 yards (3 swims)
Highlight was Saturday morning with Zac we swam 2x1000 as our main workout.
Bike-130 miles (5 rides, 1 only 10miles)
Highlight was a 60k with Dirk in 1:31:20. The last 20k I felt really good and rolled. Dirk is a great training partner and told me to "JUST GO" ! I ended up hitting 28:20ish last 20k.
Run- 53miles ( 6runs)
I did a brick on Wed of 2mi-1mi-2mi. felt ok. Highlight was running 15:24 @ the Crystal City 5k Friday. Last yr my fastest was 15:28. Felt relaxed and had put in some training already that day.
Lots of turn on the coarse, but real fun with all the runners out there! Good job to the 933 people that showed up.
Next up Doylestown Duathlon 5k-30k-5k on Saturday.

First off, thank you for indulging in my blog and reading all the Retro-Ranks over the past few weeks. It's been an adventure the lines of The Hangover but with less alcohol and one less naked Asian. From the looks of the hits, it was somewhat of a hit. So I may take advantage of this in the future…but not for awhile yet.
Allow me a moment first to profess a Statement of Commitment for the Rankatron.
- Beginning immediately, the Rankatron will feature new reviews and articles every Wednesday and Saturday. The time depends on when I'm able to do it. But it will be done. Most likely late at night. I'm a night owl. Correction: I am Night Owl. It's my super-hero alter-ego. So don't expect an early morning update. I ain't no newspaper.
- From time-to-time, while I complete the Ultimate Rankatron, I will be posted new reviews of newer movies and other stuff I've seen or been privy to. This may equal more surprise postings! It's like finding more than two scoops of raisins in your Raisin Bran.
- I promise more raisin and less bran…but not too much less, just enough bran to get you regular.
- I have some clever plans potentially laid out for the New Year as a means to expand my media footprint. Stay tuned here for more. I may be buying a blimp like Conan!
- Update: I'm not buying a blimp unless someone has a freebie I could borrow.
- You can follow me on Twitter by going all clickity-click here! Or just Google "Twitter TheRankatron".
- I'm kinda on Facebook but I don't like updating the Fan Page. I find myself checking out other stuff before I get to it and before you know it, it's 4am and you have to get up at 7…so don't follow me there quite yet. That may change.
- Hey what's that subscription thing on the right menu? Wonder what it does? Could I win money? Do I get to ride in the Rankatron Blimp? (NOTE: There's no blimp…I'm sorry I brought it up…but there may be a Rankatron balloon…the small kid's carnival kind.) Just click it and see what happens. It costs nothing but it pays you in free notification of my bloggings.
- A Rankatron Tank-a-tron???? Oh yeah!!!!!! (That would be AWESOME!!!)
- Serious note: also on the right menu you'll notice a charity called "To Write Love on Her Arms". To quote from their website "To Write Love on Her Arms is a non-profit movement dedicated to presenting hope and finding help for people struggling with depression, addiction, self-injury and suicide. TWLOHA exists to encourage, inform, inspire, and also to invest directly into treatment and recovery." Costs nothing but time by clicking on the link. If you've ever known anyone who's been down that road, just give'er a try and take a couple minutes to listen to what they have to say.
So that's about it.
In the meantime, it's Game On!

"We lost our brother today," Imber said in a text message to The Associated Press.

Kimbo Slice competed in the top two MMA promotions in the world and since the news of his passing, Bellator has released a statement on his tragic passing.
Bellator's Scott Coker full statement below:
"We are all shocked and saddened by the devastating and untimely loss of Kimbo Slice, a beloved member of the Bellator family. One of the most popular MMA fighters ever, Kimbo was a charismatic, larger-than-life personality that transcended the sport. Outside of the cage he was a friendly, gentle giant and a devoted family man. His loss leaves us all with extremely heavy hearts, and our thoughts and prayers are with the entire Ferguson family and all of Kimbo's friends, fans and teammates."

Can't get enough of Volor Flex (Alex Frolov) , the young Russian producer whose music feels and acts like both a tribute and at times, a cover of this mysterious iconic musician called Burial whom you might've heard of on previous occasions.Some people think "this sounds too much like the original, we don't need copycats" while others went as far as calling it "Burial v2".
To each his own – the music is shamless and catchy. Have a go at it, leave all bias aside and take it in for how it sounds rather than what it stands for, you'll probably find yourself enjoying it.
Volor Flex's new album called "Exhale ", he has the lovely Burial factor inside!
Exhale is out now on Dark Clover. and here's a freely available bonus track

Woman launches crowdfunder for her terminally ill mother
Angie Longmate, 58, wants to see Ed Sheeran in concert and go rally driving.
A woman whose mother was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer has launched a crowdfunding campaign to help her tick items off her bucket list.
Angie Longmate wants to see Ed Sheeran in concert, visit the Pyrenees and go rally driving - despite having a revoked licence.
Her daughter Georgina Muirhead said she wants to raise funds to pack in a lifetime of memories in the short time the family have left together.
Mrs Longmate, 58, a care home worker from Strontian on the Ardnamurchan peninsula in the west Highlands, has five granddaughters.
She was visiting Mrs Muirhead in Nottinghamshire when she fell ill in February.
Mrs Longmate, a mother-of-two, was thought to be having a stroke and was taken to King's Mill Hospital in Mansfield. A CT scan revealed a shadow mass on the brain.
A week later she was transferred to Queen's Medical Centre in Nottingham where she underwent brain surgery. Medics were unable to remove the whole tumour.
Mrs Longmate, who has been married to her husband Gordon for 41 years, is to start radiotherapy and chemotherapy to try to keep the tumour at bay but the family has been told there will come a point where treatment is no longer viable.
In response, Mrs Muirhead asked her mother for a list of things she wants to do before she dies.
Mrs Longmate said: "I don't think the reality of what's happening has sunk in yet. It feels like a dream.
"I had some headaches recently but I just thought they were migraines and connected to the the stress of work. I had started doing night shifts and just put it down to adjusting to the stress of work.
"I compiled the list of things I want to do because it would be nice to leave some happy memories behind for everyone else and to do things I have never had a chance to do."
'I compiled the list of things I want to do because it would be nice to leave some happy memories behind for everyone else and to do things I have never had a chance to do.'Cancer sufferer Angie Longmate
Mrs Longmate added: "It feels a bit like I've been given a deadline to do everything I want to do.
"My husband Gordon and I are a very close couple and we had been planning our retirement and then all of a sudden this has happened.
"I really want to go back to Italy and just spend time with Gordon and all of my family. I've been amazed at the generosity of people on the GoFundMe page. The kindness of strangers really has been wonderful".
