BALTIMORE- The 21st-ranked UMBC men's soccer team survived a scare from a determined Navy side, but junior back Jordan Becker's (Pocomoke, Md./Pocomoke) unlikely goal with 7:57 remaining in the second overtime period gave the host Retrievers a 3-2 victory over the Midshipmen.
UMBC (6-0-0) extended its season-opening winning streak to six, while the tough-luck Midshipmen slipped to 1-3-2. The Retrievers also extended their unbeaten skein to 15 games (12-0-3), dating back to October of 2012.
Becker received a cross-field pass and penetrated fairly deep toward the left corner, before driving a ball towards the back post. Navy netminder Aaron Dupere leaped, but the perfectly struck ball just eluded him and curled into the right side netting. The dramatic score was the third of Becker's career and all three have been game-winning goals.
"I can't say enough about how well (Navy) played," said UMBC head coach Pete Caringi, Jr.. "To our credit, we found a way to win and that's what good teams do."
UMBC conceded the first goal of the game for the first time in 2013, as Catonsville native Jamie Dubyoski took advantage of a Retriever defensive miscue and scored exactly nine minutes into the contest.
But the Retrievers struck back for a pair of goals in a span of 8:05 just past the midpoint of the half. In the 19th minute, senior forward Pete Caringi III (Perry Hall, Md./Calvert Hall), the nation's points per game leader, outfought a Navy defender just inside the left-side goal line and cut the ball back to junior midfielder Geaton Caltabiano (Lothian, Md./Mount St. Joseph). Caltabiano, the nation's assist leader entering play, knocked in Caringi's feed from four yards away into the unguarded right side of the net.
Caltabiano initiated UMBC's next score, taking a free kick from 23 yards out on the left side. His serve was headed off the crossbar by junior back Oumar Ballo (Baltimore, Md./Archbishop Curley) and junior back Marquez Fernandez (Baltimore, Md./McDonogh) dove and headed the ball in past Dupere from point-blank range.
The Retrievers took the 2-1 lead into the break, but, once again, Navy struck in the early stages of the half as the Mids' Dave Arnold punched in a rebound off a long distance header exactly four minutes into the second stanza.
UMBC senior netminder Phil Saunders (Perry Hall, Md./Perry Hall) made a season-high seven saves in the game and his best occurred just after Navy tied the score when he make a leaping save to thwart Dubyoski in the 52nd minute.
The Retrievers had the only two shots of the first overtime period, before Becker's heroics ended the proceedings.
UMBC had a slight edge in shots, 15-14, and Dupere made four saves for the visitors.
The Retrievers continue a series of contests against local rivals as they travel to face a red-hot Loyola (Md.) squad on Saturday evening.
Notes: Caltabiano was UMBC's lone multiple-point scorer with a goal and an assist on the night… Caringi kept his point-scoring streak alive with points in all six games… He now has 80 points and has moved into a tie for sixth place on UMBC's all-time points list… Fernandez' goal was his first collegiate score… Becker now has three career goals, one each season, and all have been game-winning goals… UMBC has won six straight games for the ninth time in its NCAA Division I (1986) history… After compiling a five-game unbeaten streak versus Navy, UMBC has won two straight… USNA still leads the all-time series, 16-5-4.

text: Lewis and Clark 160 Posted November 30, 2010 http://www.borderlandbeat.com/2010/11/mexican-marines-reconstruct-death-of.html vs 11/22/2010 - When Mexican Marines arrived at the San Jose Ranch, 15 kilometers from Victoria, Tamaulipas, the scene was bleak: The austere main house was practically destroyed by grenades and heavy gunfire. Outside of the home, they found four bodies. Cautiously, and with their weapons drawn, the troops continued inspecting the exterior and found two more gunmen, wounded and unconscious, but alive. Inside the house only one body was found, riddled with bullets and with two weapons by it's side. The body was identified as Don Alejo Garza Tamez, the owner of the ranch and a highly respected businessman in Nuevo Leon. Upon further inspection of the interior, marines found weapons and ammunition at every window and door. This allowed them to reconstruct how, just hours prior, the battle had played out. Marines searched for more bodies inside the house, but none were to be found. It seemed hard to believe that one person, armed only with hunting rifles, had caused so many casualties on the attackers. Dozens of spent shells and the smell of gunpowder gave proof of the tenacity of the man who fought to the end in defense, of not only his ranch, but his dignity. In the end, it was deduced the man had created his own defense strategy to fight alone, placing weapons at every door and window. The story began in the morning of Saturday November 13, when a group of armed gunmen went to deliver an ultimatum to Don Alejo Garza Tamez: He had 24 hours to turn over his property or suffer the consequences. Using the diplomacy he had acquired over nearly eight decades of life, Don Alejo flatly announced that not only would he not be surrendering his property, but that he'd be waiting for them. When the men had left, Don Alejo gathered his workers and ordered them to take Sunday off, he wanted to be alone. He dedicated the rest of Saturday to taking stock of his weapons and ammunition and creating a military fortress style defense strategy for his home. The night of Saturday the thirteenth was long and restless, much like his past hunting adventures; Don Alejo woke early. Shortly after 4 a.m. the motors of various trucks could be heard entering the property from a distance. Marines who investigated the scene could only imagine how it was that morning: armed men, their impunity secured, confident they'd soon be owners of yet another property. Nobody, or almost no one, could hold out against a group of heavily armed gunmen. Only Don Alejo. The trucks entered the ranch and took up positions surrounding the house. The gunmen got out of their trucks, fired shots in the air, and announced they came to take possession of the ranch. They were expecting the terrified occupants to run out, begging for mercy with their hands in the air. But things didn't go as expected. Don Alejo welcomed them with bullets; the entire army of gunmen returned fire. Don Alejo seemed to multiply, he seemed to be everywhere. The minutes would have seemed endless to those who had seen him as easy prey. Various gunmen were killed on sight. The others, in rage and frustration, intensified the attack by swapping out their assault rifles for grenades. When everything finally fell silent, the air was left heavy with gunpowder. The holes left in the walls and the windows attested to the violence of the attack. When they went in search of what they had assumed was a large contingent, they were surprised to find only one man, Don Alejo. The surviving gunmen did not take over the ranch. Thinking the military would arrive at any moment, they decided to run. They left behind what they thought were six corpses, but two of their gunmen had survived. Shortly after, the Marines arrived and methodically reconstructed the events. A lone rancher, a man who worked a lifetime to be able to enjoy the fruits of his labor such as his ranch, had defended it to his death. In the last hunt of his life, Don Alejo surprised the group of assassins who wanted to impose the same law on his ranch that they had on the State, the law of the jungle. The marines who were present will never forget the scene: a 77 year old man, who before death, took out four gunmen, fighting the same as the best soldiers: with dignity, courage, and honor. *** Cliff Notes - Drug cartel mercs come to tell this dude to shove off and give them his shit. 24 hour notice. he plans a attack for when they come back - puts guns and ammo at every gun and window, doesnt stop til he dies, takes 4(2wounded so bad their homies thought they were dead) with him. he had hunting rifles they had machine guns and gernades. AND HE WAS 77 YEARS OLD what you gunna do when youre 77? 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All's fair in love, war...and editing.
Madonna revealed that the process of molding her film "W.E." in the editing room proved to be loaded with difficult decisions - including leaving her own daughter on the cutting room floor.
The film, which is about a New York woman who becomes obsessed with the relationship between King Edward VIII and American divorcee Wallis Simpson, originally featured a scene where Madonna's daughter, Lourdes Leon, portrayed the teenage version of the film's protagonist, Wally Winthrop.
"I just kind of dragged her in at the last minute," Madonna admitted to MTV. "It was quite unfair of me what I did and what I asked her to do."
When the film was completed, Lourdes' scene was no longer in it.
"She was really great and then I ended up cutting her out of the film. Ruthless, I know," Madonna said. "I said, 'Sorry babe, you're on the cutting room floor.' She took it like a champ."

Expansion is the target this year for some of the biggest revenue-generating clubs in the U.S. fitness industry.
The editors of Club Industry's Fitness Business Pro asked five of the biggest revenue-generating club companies (based on our 2006 Top 100 club list, which is published each July) about their plans for expansion, renovation and programming; membership pricing; marketing; technology; and their key initiatives for 2007. Although some were reluctant to share their business plans and, therefore, only shared pieces of information, most were open about their goals.
Expansion was one of the biggest efforts cited for the new year by four of the five companies contacted — Bally Total Fitness, Chicago; Crunch Fitness, New York; Town Sports International, New York; and Western Athletic Clubs, San Francisco.
The big players' expansion efforts aren't far from the plans of many fitness facilities this year. A Club Industry's Fitness Business Pro survey of 199 fitness facility owners and managers revealed that 46 percent of owners plan to expand their facilities this year either through acquisitions, expansion of an existing building or opening of a new location (for more details on this study, read "Go Fish," the 2007 State of the Industry Report on page 32).
However, expansion plans are varied for each of the club companies. Although The Wellbridge Co., Denver, would not reveal any specific expansion plans except that the company was renewing its focus on the club management side of the company, JoAnna Masloski, director of marketing for the company, says Wellbridge expects 5 percent in capital improvements and a projected $70 million in revenue. Wellbridge decreased from 32 owned and seven managed clubs in 2005 to 16 owned and four managed in 2007.
Crunch plans to build as many as four to six clubs annually in its current markets. The company recently invested $13 million in club renovations and will continue to invest in club upgrades.
Town Sports International (TSI), which owns and operates New York Sports Clubs, Boston Sports Clubs, Washington Sports Clubs and Philadelphia Sports Clubs, plans to open 16 clubs this year in Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, Washington, DC, and Maryland. TSI recently opened its 100th location in Manhattan, NY.
"Our goals are simple: to put health and fitness within easy reach of each and every one of our members," says Susan Gerson, spokesperson for TSI. "We want to make getting fit convenient, enjoyable and effective for our members."
Bally, which came in second on the 2006 Top 100 club list and has been dealing with debt and accounting issues for the past several years, plans to expand overseas in 2007, but its expansion plans in the United States will be limited, says Matt Messinger, spokesperson for the company.
"We will look to possibly build in areas where we have a larger presence, but not much will happen in the short term," he says, noting 2007 expansion will be similar to 2006 efforts. Instead, the company, which has more than 400 owned and franchised clubs, will invest in cosmetic upgrades at its top performing clubs in major U.S. cities.
Although Bally didn't reveal any concrete plans to add any facilities this year, Western Athletic Clubs is steaming ahead with plans to build a new 100,000-square-foot, multipurpose facility in Carlsbad, CA. The facility, which will be built on 12 acres, will feature seven tennis courts, a family pool, an adult pool, a children's wading pool, a basketball gym, multiple group exercise studios and a pro shop. The club, which will focus on youth fitness programs, will also have a full-service day spa offering massage, facials, manicures and pedicures.
Western Athletic Clubs, which opens new clubs every few years, will break ground on the Carlsbad location in 2007 with completion scheduled for the end of 2008.
Each of the Western Athletic Clubs is designed for the community it serves, says Sandy Hoeffer, vice president of Western Athletic Clubs.
"We don't have a cookie cutter formula," she says. "We take time to develop and market each club. What works in San Francisco won't work in the suburbs of Carlsbad, CA."
Defining Demographics
The nation's largest health club chains aren't just expanding physically. Many of them are also looking to expand their demographics. Rather than targeting just the young professional market, they're now targeting more Baby Boomers, seniors and children. Western Athletic Clubs, which has eight clubs in California, focuses on families in its suburban clubs and young professionals in its urban clubs, but seniors are increasingly becoming part of the membership mix.
To capture more of the Baby Boomer market, Western Athletic Clubs will roll out an alternative and traditional medical division within each of its clubs in 2007. The alternative medicine division will include everything from chiropractic services to acupuncture. The clubs will also partner with existing providers in the local community to offer more traditional medical services.
"It's always been important for us to continue to follow and anticipate our members' needs," says Hoeffer. "Making a medical division available is something that the Baby Boomer market has expressed an interest in and a need for."
Bally, which has traditionally focused on its core market of 18- to 24-year-olds, will also look for different ways to pull in the senior and children market this year, says Messinger.
Bullseye Marketing
To attract these markets to health clubs, however, fitness facilities must broaden the scope of their marketing efforts. Rather than depicting young, fit models and bodybuilders, more club companies' advertising and marketing campaigns are appealing to out-of-shape, everyday clientele.
Bally launched its Meet Your Potential campaign in 2006 to show how real people can get real results from 30 days of exercise. The campaign followed the weight loss and muscle gain of seven participants from 30-year-old new parents looking to lose baby weight to a woman trying to fit into a strapless bridesmaid dress. On the company's Web site, potential members can read their success stories, create a personalized fitness plan and print a pass for a free, two-week membership. This year, the company plans to develop different versions of this campaign, air weekly fitness segments on I-Village Live, an NBC show, and partner with the Discovery Health National Body Challenge.
Crunch, a high-end club chain that was sold by Bally last year, plans to return to its roots for its marketing.
"We are focusing on a resurgence of the core of the Crunch brand when it was first founded — community, diversity, the place where fitness meets entertainment," says Rebecca Rothman, vice president of marketing for Crunch Fitness.
Rather than focusing its marketing efforts on pulling in new members, Western Athletic Clubs is instead directing its energy on its existing members. Because the bulk of its new members come from referrals, the clubs will offer member referral incentives. The clubs also plan to invest in print advertising rather than radio or TV spots and communicate with their members through targeted e-mail messages. For example, members who express an interest in squash will be added to an e-mail listserve and will be sent messages about upcoming tournaments.
"Our members are in California, and they're very tech savvy, and we have to respond to that," Hoeffer says. "They expect to be communicated with electronically."
Technology upgrades are also going beyond member communication at some health clubs nationwide. Crunch plans to improve its audio-visual options at the club level and offer unique programming and equipment. The company will also enhance its Web site and its functionality to better develop the Crunch community, Rothman says.
Power of Programming
Each January, new members crowd fitness facilities to keep their health-related resolutions. TSI is targeting people who made healthy New Year's resolutions by launching its Rock the Scales challenge, a free nutrition and fitness program for members.
"This is something new for us," Gerson says. "We have never offered any type of nutritional advice in the past."
The eight-week program will help members lose one-two pounds per week via a healthy eating plan and exercise. And if looking and feeling good isn't enough motivation, TSI clubs will also give out prizes to program participants.
TSI, which ranked fourth on Club Industry's Fitness Business Pro's Top 100 club list, will also continue to offer group exercise classes such as the Action Hero Workout, which runs participants through movements and fundamental stunt techniques.
Crunch plans to continue its original group exercise classes, targeting urban dwellers in New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Miami, Chicago, Washington, DC, and Atlanta.
Small group training, weight loss programs and specialized training will be part of Western Athletic Club's three-pronged approach to programming in the New Year. The clubs are offering programs that target specific interests such as triathlete training and new mom exercise classes. Hoeffer also expects personal training to be hot this year.
"Members are really embracing personal training, and it often happens in two's or three's rather than one-on-one," she says.
The Wellbridge Co. also plans to expand its personal training and Pilates programming in 2007, says Masloski of Wellbridge.
Membership Pricing
All of this physical expansion and increased investment in marketing and programming efforts might lead one to believe that membership rates will rise for the large players. However, most of the big clubs kept their membership pricing plans under wraps.
Hoeffer of Western Athletic Clubs was the only one to reveal that the club company, which has 30,000 memberships and will celebrate its 30th anniversary this year, plans to hold its membership pricing this year. The clubs offer individual, couple and family memberships, and fall on the high end of the pricing scale, she says. The clubs only offer month-to-month memberships, don't require members to sign annual contracts and allow members to quit at any time with a 30-day notice.
"Our emphasis is on the service and value they receive rather than on the sale itself," Hoeffer says. "That's a big difference from some of the sales models that are out there."
Regardless of the sales models used at each of the biggest clubs mentioned, these clubs are offering expansion and marketing plans that could help lead them to the profits they are privately projecting for the year. In an age when most fitness facilities are competing with at least one of these big players, knowing where the competition is going can be a guide for other clubs — guiding them to either follow suit or to go in a completely different direction.

2003 Dodge Ram 1500 Reviews and Ratings
Quad Cab Laramie 2WD
Used for hauling farm equipment, feed, and to tow a boat. As set up, truck was excellent!
Only downside was gas mileage - average ranged from 12.0 to 12.5 MPH.
Expert Reviews
Dodge Ram boasts high levels of refinement and comfort. Completely redesigned and re-engineered last year, this latest-generation Ram has re-established Dodge as a leading product among full-size pickups. While the previous-generation Ram had fallen behind the GM and Ford in terms of refinement, the current Ram competes head to head with the other full-size trucks.
The latest Ram offers a much smoother ride and a bigger, more comfortable, and more convenient cab. But all this refinement doesn't mean the Dodge Ram has gone soft. The new-generation Ram also delivers improved towing and hauling capability, plus more powerful and efficient engines.
For 2003, Dodge has introduced a sophisticated new five-speed automatic transmission. A more capable Off-Road package has been added, along with a rugged Work Special. Also new for 2003 is a line of heavy-duty 2500 and 3500 models, not covered here.
In January 2003, the 5.7-liter Hemi V8 replaced the aging 5.9-liter V8, increasing power by 100 horsepower and 40 pounds-feet of torque while improving fuel economy by 10 percent.
Dodge Ram is available with two cab configurations, Regular Cab and Quad Cab. Prices start at $18,525 for a 2WD Regular Cab short wheelbase. Ordering the four-door, six-passenger Quad Cab adds $4200-$5200 to the bottom line. Quad Cab models ride on a wheelbase that's 20 inches longer than comparable Regular Cab models.
Two bed lengths are available, a 6-foot, 3-inch standard bed and an 8-foot long bed. Ordering the long bed adds $300-$350 to the price, and another 20 inches to the wheelbase. Long-bed models also get a bigger fuel tank, 35 gallons in place of the standard 26-gallon tank.
Three engines are offered: The most popular choice is an overhead-cam 4.7-liter V8, which is standard with four-wheel-drive. For maximum economy, two-wheel-drive Rams can be ordered with a 3.7-liter V6 that's similar in design to the 4.7-liter V8. The most powerful engine in the line is the new 5.7-liter Hemi V8 with hemispherical combustion chambers for improved airflow and burn. The new Hemi produces 345 horsepower and 375 foot-pounds of torque. When properly equipped, that increases the towing capacity to 9200 pounds and payload by an additional 500 pounds. The Hemi adds about $800 to the price.
A five-speed manual transmission is standard with the 3.7-liter V6 and 4.7-liter V8. Optional is a new five-speed automatic ($975) that includes an alternate second gear for hill-climbing and towing (so it's technically a six-speed). This new transmission is more responsive than the unit it replaces.
Three trim levels are available, ST, SLT, and Laramie.
ST is the base level and comes standard with air conditioning, but is equipped with vinyl upholstery, wind-up windows, and manual door locks.
SLT adds $1700-$3200, depending on cab style and driveline, and includes the 4.7-liter V8, plus cloth upholstery, nicer interior trim, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, a host of convenience items, and wider tires.
Laramie is the luxury package, which costs in the neighborhood of $7800-$8900 and brings leather seating surfaces, dual-zone air conditioning, a premium stereo, 17-inch cast aluminum wheels, and a long, long list of luxury features.
Sport body-color trim for grille and bumpers is available for $470 with any trim level; that price includes fog lights and 17-inch aluminum wheels. Add another $1600 or so if you want aggressive, street-rodder-style 20-inch wheels and tires.
New for 2003 is optional Work Special trim, with gray bumpers and grille and gray-painted 17x7 steel wheels. Also new this year is an Off-Road Package ($870-$1405) for 4WD models consisting of a 3.92:1 limited-slip differential, heavy-duty engine cooling, LT275/70R17 all-terrain tires, skid plates, tow hooks, and fog lamps.
Ram's radical big-rig styling turned the pickup world upside down when it was introduced in 1994. It was a highly successful design, one that gave the Dodge pickups a look of power and capability. The bold styling also helped boost sales exponentially. So Dodge had no intention of turning away from the big horse-collar grille and Freightliner fenders when it redesigned the Ram. This latest Dodge pickup maintains and even reinforces the look established nine years ago.
The sheet metal is indeed all new. Park a 2002-3 Ram next to a 2001 or earlier Ram and the differences are striking. The design has been extensively re-sculpted for reduced wind noise and better rainwater management. The new Ram looks sleek and refined compared with the previous model. The old one looks mashed down compared with the new one.
Few grilles are as instantly recognizable as the massive horse collar grille of the Ram. Even more massive this year, the grille also provides trim-level identification: The outside rim is all chrome on the SLT model, with a gray honeycomb center. Laramie features a body-color grille surround and chrome cross hairs. Sport trim includes a body-color surround and cross hairs with unique chrome billets in the center.
Moving rearward, the new Ram presents a more robust appearance than before. The broad, sloping hood has a pronounced crown that falls over the sides to the prominent front fenders. A faster, raked-back windshield improves aerodynamics and water management, and gives the new Ram a more modern appearance. The leading edge of the front door overlaps the A-pillar, creating a smoother transition from the front of the cab to the side. Everything is smoother and more integrated. The big side mirrors, great for visibility, are now mounted on platforms to reduce wind noise, and a channel has been specially designed to keeps water off of the mirrors. An integrated air dam improves engine cooling and air conditioner performance.
Standard bed length is 6 feet, 3 inches, but an 8-foot bed is now available for both cab styles. That makes the Ram Quad Cab the only half-ton crew-cab pickup with an 8-foot bed. (By comparison, the Ford F-150 SuperCrew only comes with a 5.5-foot bed, while the new Chevy Silverado 1500 HD only comes with a 6.5-foot bed.) The 160.5-inch wheelbase for a Dodge Ram Quad Cab with an eight-foot bed is 20 inches longer than short-bed Quad Cab or long-bed regular cab models, which increases the turning diameter by 6 feet; but it's just 3 inches longer than Ford and Chevy long-bed extended-cab models. Regardless, Ram beds are fitted with boat cleats designed to handle 1,000 pounds each.
Rams sit pretty high off the ground, particularly the four-wheel-drive models. Tailgate load height is 35 inches on four-wheel-drive models, 33.6 inches on two-wheel-drive Rams. That's a bit much when trying to heave heavy gear aboard.
Ram interiors were completely redesigned last year.
The new interior is more comfortable than before. That comfort starts with roominess. To fit more space in the cab, Dodge stole 3 inches out of the bed and added it to the cab's total length. So you sacrifice a little bed space for a lot more wiggle room.
Two cab styles are available: a Regular Cab and the four-door, six-passenger Quad Cab. (Club Cab extended-cab models are history; people stopped buying them when Dodge introduced its first Quad Cab in 1998.) Regular Cab and Quad Cab offer identical roominess in the front seats. Dodge claims its Regular Cab has the largest interior of any full-size standard-cab pickup.
The cloth 40/20/40 split bench front seat in the Sport model is quite supportive, better than some of the seats we've seen recently in other brands. The optional leather seats are also comfortable and supportive during long drives. Three-point shoulder belts are used at all locations, including the rear center seat. Optional power adjustable pedals ($120) let shorter drivers adjust their seating position better so they aren't sitting so close to the airbag; it's a great, affordable option for two-driver families that offers significant comfort and safety benefits. Adjustable pedals are usually offered only with an automatic transmission, but for 2003 Dodge has made them available on manual-shift pickups as well. We believe that's an industry first.
Side-curtain airbags are a $390 option on Regular Cabs, $490 on Quad Cabs. The Ram was recently awarded the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety's highest possible rating in its off-set frontal crash test.
Nice big mirrors make it easier to see what's behind. A big fold-down center armrest/console comes with adjustable dividers and a power outlet. White-faced instruments with turquoise numbers look sporty and trendy, but don't offer the legibility of traditional white-on-black designs, particularly at dusk. At night, the instruments are nicely illuminated in green.
The design of the audio system could be improved for ease of use. Sometimes you have to search for the right button to press. Setting a button for a station, for example, requires pressing a separate "set" button, rather than just holding the station button down. Sliding bass and treble controls are harder to adjust than knobs when bouncing around in a pickup truck. Optional steering wheel audio controls ($75) solve this with brilliantly designed buttons behind the steering wheel that are easy to use. Likewise, cruise controls ($390, including tilt steering) on the steering wheel are easy to operate.
Otherwise, the center dash is a paradigm of convenience. Large heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) buttons can be operated while wearing gloves. A textured fabric is used for trim around the audio and HVAC controls, somewhat similar to what's found in Volkswagens, gives the center dash a nice look and feel. Just below the HVAC controls is a slot lined with a rubber mat that's perfect for a wallet or other small items. A big panel below that folds down with adjustable cup holders. Overhead is a console with an effective pair of map lights, a trip computer, a compartment for sunglasses, and a compass, which every self-respecting truck should have.
Regular Cab models come fitted with a tray behind the seats big enough to hold a large bucket. Dodge even supplies the bucket, a tray designed to carry tools and such. Big hooks behind the seats are handy for hanging dry cleaning or plastic shopping bags so your groceries don't roll all over the place. There's even a hook just to the right of the center dash that's useful for hanging onto a couple of grocery bags; the Brits call these curry hooks.
The Quad Cab is quite nice. About 80 percent of all Ram buyers will opt for the Quad Cab. It's easy to see why. The rear seat is roomy, with enough rake to the seatback to make it comfortable for two adults. Its size also makes the rear bench seat suitable for child safety seats. All three rear seating positions can accommodate child safety seats and are fitted with tether anchors.
With one hand you can flip the Quad Cab's rear seat down. An optional metal frame then folds into place to create a rigid platform designed to support 500 pounds; it should be great for carrying dogs or cargo not suitable for the bed. The rear doors open 85 degrees, making it easy to get in or load gear, and the rear windows roll all the way down. Overall, the Quad Cab is a friendly, practical design for hauling people and gear.
A pleasant ride quality and a responsive engine characterize the driving experience. This latest Dodge Ram rides much more smoothly than the pre-2002 model.
A rigid new chassis has reduced vibration dramatically. Dodge used an increasingly popular manufacturing process called hydroforming to fashion the frame. Instead of having to weld a bunch of straight pieces together, hydroforming uses ultra-high water pressure to force the metal into any shape needed. This highly rigid frame is arguably the key component of this new pickup. It allowed Dodge engineers to redesign the Ram suspension and to tune it precisely, without having to work around a lot of chassis flex.
A new rack-and-pinion steering gear sharpens handling, and 17-inch wheels are standard. The result is better handling, a better ride, and a truck that feels much tighter. Handling and maneuverability were key goals of the Ram design team, according to Dodge, in an effort to help drivers avoid crashes. All Rams come standard with big four-wheel disc brakes that are smooth and easy to modulate. Dodge claims they are the largest brakes in the segment.
Pickup trucks don't seem to be getting any smaller. One of the first sensations of driving the Ram is awareness of its immense proportions. This truck feels big and tall, and its fenders seem to fill small country roads. The ride height of the Ram adds to this sensation. It's sometimes difficult to be sure exactly where your fenders are, so it's not the best truck for the timid. In this regard, the Ram is the opposite of the Toyota Tundra, which feels smaller and nimbler by comparison. The big Ram reminds us a bit of driving an off-road race truck. It handles reasonably well and powers through or over just about anything, but the tires aren't always precisely where you wanted them.
Most Ram buyers will get the new 4.7-liter V8, and it's the best choice unless you have specific reasons to order the 3.7-liter or 5.7-liter engine. The first thing I noticed about driving a Ram pickup with the 4.7-liter was its responsiveness. This truck feels very eager around town and on winding roads. It accelerates quickly onto freeways and has no trouble powering up grades. It's a smooth, sophisticated engine that always feels ready to go.
The 4.7-liter V8 and 3.7-liter V6 are overhead-cam designs, smaller and more efficient than the overhead-valve engines they replace. The 4.7-liter V8, for example, offers a 1 mpg improvement (13/17 mpg City/Highway for a 4WD automatic) over the 5.2-liter V8 engine it replaced; it revs higher and produces 240 horsepower, 10 more than the 5.2-liter, although torque was reduced by 5 pounds-feet to 295. In practical terms, this is splitting hairs. What you will notice is that the 4.7-liter engine feels smoother and more refined, emitting a pleasant American burble while underway. I really liked it.
The 3.7-liter V6 is smooth and works just fine with the manual five-speed gearbox. It might be a good choice for someone who lives in the flatlands at relatively low altitudes and neither pulls trailers nor hauls heavy loads.
The new 5.7-liter Hemi V8 uses hemispherical combustion chambers for improved airflow with a bump inside for better swirl. It adds up to more power and better fuel efficiency. The Hemi generates 345 hp at 5400 rpm and 375 lbs.-ft. of torque at 4200 rpm.
Trailer towing capacities range from just 3050 pounds for a 3.7-liter V6 Quad Cab with 2WD and manual transmission, to 9200 pounds for a 5.7-liter V8 Regular Cab with 2WD. A 4WD Ram with the 4.7-liter and automatic transmission is rated to pull a 7450-pound trailer with the 3.92 rear axle ratio. Those who need to pull trailers up to 9200 pounds will want to opt for the 5.7-liter engine. It delivers 245 horsepower and 335 pounds-feet of torque. The available 20-inch wheels reduce towing capacity by 1000 pounds.
Payloads range from about 1300 pounds to 1850 pounds for a 2WD regular cab with the 3.7-liter V6.
Four-wheel-drive models ride on an all-new torsion-bar independent front suspension, and use a part-time transfer case that can be shifted from two-wheel drive on the fly. Shifting into four-wheel-drive high locks the center differential. A low-range set of gears provides superior traction in extreme conditions. A limited-slip "anti-spin" rear differential is available and recommended for serious off-road use. A Protection Group ($90) includes skid plates for the front suspension and transfer case. Rear axles are available in a standard 3.55 ratio or a numerically higher 3.92 ratio, which is better for towing and off-road driving.
Dodge has done it again: Eight years after breaking the rules for pickups, Dodge redesigned its Ram and reasserted itself as a top contender among full-size trucks. The 2003 Dodge Ram remains stylish and highly capable. It's also comfortable.
Quad Cab models offer a brilliant combination of comfort and utility. Regular Cab versions are far roomier than they used to be, and are thoughtfully set up to accommodate gear behind the seat.

In doing it in this way they are failing to understand that their own business is totally relent the panoramic photographers to develop and promote a market for this media..
Software and Hardware developers have greater knowledge of business and marketing skills than most of us do.. The real cycle of process should be; Software and Hardware developers promote their own product but also promote the Virtual Tour media to the end users as well, where the photographers sit in the middle. Adopting this strategy all stake holders should benefit a lot more as this media market becomes stronger and more accepting by the end users.. ... At the moment Software and Hardware developers rely totally on the Virtual Tour photographers to promote this media, but in doing this means the market will always remain small and weak.. This then opens up the door to cheaper alternatives resulting in poor quality VR Tours...

Getaway to the Historic Triangle
Virginia's Historic Triangle - Jamestown, Williamsburg and Yorktown - is full of living history. Did you know that Busch Gardens and Water Country USA waterpark are smack-dab in the middle of it all?
History begins with a ferry ride across the James River or a leisurely ride down the Colonial Parkway, a scenic plantation route connecting all the historic sites in the Triangle: Historic Jamestowne, the original site itself; Jamestown Settlement, featuring a re-created fort and Powhatan Indian village with plenty of living history characters; and Yorktown, where the last battle of the Revolutionary War was fought.
Colonial Williamsburg is the nation's largest living history museum. The entire colonial town stays in character 24 hours a day - shop keepers, townsfolk, children at play, farm families, marching militia, tavern folks - encouraging you to immerse yourself in the lifestyle of the 18th century and have plenty of fun doing it. No wonder this is Virginia's most popular historic destination!
Then, at some point in your getaway, head to Busch Gardens, voted "The World's Most Beautiful Theme Park!" The adrenaline junkie in you will enjoy the sights, the sounds, foods, entertainment and, of course, the RIDES in the various countries of England, Scotland, Ireland, France, Germany, and Italy!
If you enjoy waterparks, visit Water Country USA, where you plunge into outrageous fun at the mid-Atlantic's largest water play park. Featuring a '50s and '60s surf theme, Water Country USA offers families tons of summertime fun with more than 30 slides, water rides and super-soakin' thrills!
For an extra treat, stay at the Great Wolf Lodge. It has its very own waterpark for guests only!
There's so much to see and do, you might want to highlight some attractions this visit and return for another getaway in a few months!
Where to Stay:
- Governor's Inn at Colonial Williamsburg
- B&Bs in Williamsburg
- Hotels and Motels in the greater Hampton Roads area
Where to Dine:

Orthopaedic Research
Molecular and biomechanical research is the major focus of the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery's research laboratories.
Established when the department was founded in 1969, the Orthopaedic Research Laboratories became the Lawrence J. Ellison Musculoskeletal Research Center in 1997, made possible through a generous gift by Lawrence J. Ellison, president and chief executive officer of Oracle Corporation, to help develop a world-class research center in skeletal molecular biology.
The laboratories provide a facility where faculty, residents, fellows, medical students, graduate and undergraduate students and visiting scholars can conduct broadly interdisciplinary research in tissue and cellular biomechanics, regeneration and repair.
Research Facilities
The 8,000 square-foot center houses a machine shop, materials testing laboratory, cell and molecular biology laboratory, histology laboratory, tissue culture facilities, microscopy laboratory and microsurgery suite. Computing facilities are available for mathematical modeling of mechanical stresses in skeletal structures and implants. In addition, the laboratories use an outstanding animal research facility at the 160-acre Animal Resources Service facility on the Davis campus. The laboratory staff includes seven basic science faculty, administrative staff, two technicians and typically a dozen postgraduate researchers: fellows, residents, visiting scholars, medical students and graduate students.
Collaborative Research Opportunities
UC Davis provides a rich environment for biomedical research. It is the site of the esteemed University of California, Davis, School of Veterinary Medicine — the largest veterinary school in the nation; the world-renown California National Primate Research Center; and the Department of Biomedical Engineering, recent recipient of a $12 million Whitaker Foundation Leadership/Development grant that triggers some $35 million in matching funds. The Facility for Advanced Instrumentation provides access to a variety of sophisticated research equipment. Research collaborations have involved the Departments of Veterinary Pathology, Mechanical Engineering, Animal Science, Chemical Engineering and Material Science and Biomedical Engineering.

Edinburgh enchants first-time visitors with its effortless old world elegance. Its UNESCO-listed historic centre is a beguiling maze of winding alleys, the skyline dominated by the regal crown steeple of St Giles Cathedral and the imposing turrets of Edinburgh Castle. But scratch beneath this grandiose surface and you'll discover a down-to-earth modern capital city.
It's packed with laid-back bars, quirky boutiques, lush parks and friendly people. Art aficionados can lose themselves for hours discovering the masterpieces in the Scottish National Gallery, while nature lovers can escape the hustle and bustle with a hike up the verdant hillside of Arthur's Seat.

I'm in the process of "building" a double-duty shotgun. The primary purpose of the shotgun will be home defense; secondarily, it will be used for a hunting winged game (mainly pheasant, with some occasional ducks and geese). I'd like to be able to switch the gun back and forth between "sporting" and "defensive" configurations in less than a half-hour; the gun will mainly be in "defensive" mode, with "sporting" mode being used only occasionally.
I intend to use a Remington 870, probably a magnum, as my starting point. It's usable for the birds, albeit a little clunky for the pheasants. I'll use a 26" barrel with interchangable chokes. The gun will be used in basically unmodified form for hunting.
For defensive use, I will slap on a 20" barrel, SureFire forend light, magazine extension, Sidesaddle ammo carrier and probably a sling. I will probably also add a "jumbo"-sized safety button. I'll use the factory stock.
My question relates to sights. Ideally, I'd use a ghost-ring rear sight, but that would obviously interfere with using the gun on birds! Should I simply use a bead? Remington rifle sights (barrel-mounted)? Does anyone have any experience with Ashley Express sights (I think he makes them for shotguns...)? I'm well aware of the advantages of ghost-ring sights...but since the gun will only be used for defense in the house, where ranges won't exceed perhaps 25 feet, I don't think they are absolutely necessary.
Anyway, if anyone is interested, I'm open to comments/suggestions about this project. Anything info about what I can add/subtract that would increase the gun's utility would be most appreciated.

Mike, you seem to know what you want. I would recommend sticking with the bead. If you are open to suggestions, just use the 20" barrel for the birds to. I recently did a slam up job with a less than 20" Benelli against some 26-30" guns designed exclusively for birds and clays.

When Stargate Universe (SGU) premiered on October 2nd of 2009, it brought in 2.3 million viewers. This included both parts 1 and 2 of the premiere. Part 3 of the premiere episode titled "Air" hit the peak of the ratings ride with just over 2.4 million viewers.
After that, the numbers declined slowly but surely until they bottomed out on November 6th with the episode "Earth" at a paltry 1.6 million viewers.
I believe this decline is a result of the franchise fans slowly but surely giving up on the show because it wasn't the light-humored and quipping series they were all expecting.
We've seen the scathing remarks in various articles here on Screen Rant, where everyone is getting a "hate on" for Stargate Universe. In some of your opinions the show reeks, it's boring, there's no action, too much story - there's an interesting perspective of wanting to get rid of the stones and some of you hate some of the characters outright.
True, I hate Dr. Rush (Robert Carlyle) too, but I think that's more a sign of the actor doing that good of a job to make you hate the character rather than being completely disinterested.
On the flip-side of perspectives, the one angle I agree wholeheartedly with is to get the crew to start exploring the ship, Destiny. Come on folks, I'd be crawling all over that thing getting in trouble and figuring things out. I'd be blowing airlocks and making things go hiss out of the pipes!
You Were Warned
You have to admit, they warned us that SGU was going take the franchise in a new direction, and from all the details they dispensed in promos and such, it would also be character driven. That means learning all about the individuals on this rag tag crew of military, civilians and government oversight committee members - exactly like ABC's Lost did with all their flashbacks, and what Syfy did with Battlestar Galactica, to just name a couple off the top of my head.
With that said, after the November 6th flat line, I think the folks that can appreciate character backgrounds will start to understand the character motivations. Those are the folks that are starting to come on board in the ratings.
The November 13th episode called "Time" drew in 1.8 million and the November 20th episode called "Life" brought in almost 1.9 million.
Before you roast me... I want to say I get it. I was expecting Stargate, the same 15-year franchise to continue in this new Stargate saga. I was not a happy camper when it turned out otherwise. But fortunately for me, I've got a bit of a devil's advocate side to my personality and I came at this show after the series premiere with a different mindset and that worked for me.
It helped that I am a fan of Battlestar Galactica and can appreciate character motivation because in all honesty, if all you want is action and glory in your shows, then A: Yes it can seem oh so slow, but more importantly, B: You're susceptible to the Nielsen mindset that destroys some of the quality content that hits the airwaves. By that I'm referring to Jericho, Journeyman and the like. All good shows that missed their ratings niche because from what I can tell, the story got a bit too convoluted with details.
As it stands, I don't think the Syfy Channel is offering a whole lot of quality programming and for once, they've added something new that actually falls into the category of well thought-out, unlike wrestling and other venues they introduce to us.
For now, it looks like Stargate Universe is plugging along and time will tell if the same demographic that made BSG as popular as it was will keep Stargate Universe afloat.

Eagle River man mauled by brown bear
A brown bear mauled an Eagle River man who was hiking alone on a trail near Bird Creek Trail early Sunday morning, according to Alaska State Troopers.
Benjamin Radakovich, 30, was about 3 miles from the trailhead on Penguin Creek Trail when he encountered a bear cub, said troopers spokesperson Beth Ipsen. After the cub ran off, its mother charged Radakovich, Ipsen said.
Radakovich had a backpack and ski poles, which he used to fight off the bear, Ipsen said. He also had bear spray, she said, but wasn't able to reach it in time.
During a lull in the attack, Radakovich was able to climb 30 feet up a nearby tree, she said. Ipsen said Radakovich heard the sow grunting for 10 minutes but didn't hear anything after that.
Radakovich used his cellphone to call 9-1-1 at 7:42 a.m. from the tree, Ipsen said. He spoke with a Soldotna dispatcher off and on for two hours until help arrived, she said.
Two troopers and a Chugach State Park ranger reached Radakovich by 9:20 a.m., Ipsen said. They encountered a bear while hiking toward Radakovich, Ipsen said, but don't believe it was the same one involved in the attack.
Ipsen said Radakovich was alert when rescuers reached him, but needed assistance getting off the trail.
"He was stable and he was talking, but he wasn't able to hike out," she said.
Girdwood Volunteer Fire Department medics brought Radakovich to the troopers helicopter, Helo-1, on a stretcher pulled behind an ATV, Ipsen said. Helo-1 flew him to Providence Alaska Medical Center in Anchorage for treatment of puncture wounds on his neck, head and back, she said.
Radakovich was treated and released from the hospital, said Providence spokesperson Ginger Houghton.
The Alaska Department of Fish and Game also responded to the call, Ipsen said.
Ipsen said Fish and Game has reported a lot of bear activity near Bird Creek Trail, which is located at the end of Konikson Road near Mile 100.5 of the Seward Highway.
"The bears are out now and people are out now because this is hiking weather," Ipsen said. "At this point, it's probably best if people stay away from that trail."

The JCSG Core Suites
For initial screening using an optimized selection of conditions
The JCSG Core Suites are split into 4 screens of 96 unique conditions in either deep-well blocks (1.5 ml per well) or tubes (10 ml), and are the result of analyzing over 500,000 high-throughput crystallization experiments performed at the JCSG. The 384 crystallization conditions that provided the highest hit rates in initial screening were chosen to form the screens.
Buy Products
The JCSG Core Suites are intended for molecular biology applications. These products are not intended for the diagnosis, prevention, or treatment of a disease.
Product Details
Obtaining protein crystals requires screening of a wide array of crystallization conditions. Starting with different sets of initial screening conditions, the search for a suitable condition can be narrowed down by further developing conditions centered around a promising condition that provides crystalline forms (i.e., "a hit"). The Core Suites include three different precipitant types (salts, organics, and polymers) used within three screening strategies (see table "Screening strategies"). The 384 crystallization conditions in the JCSG Core Suites offer a rapid and wide sampling of crystallization space. NeXtal Stock Solutions can be used to develop grids around your original hit conditions while working on the improvement of crystal size and quality.
The JCSG Core Suites are higly suited for screening and improving initial crystallization conditions.

Star Wars Action Figures / Re: EU Clone concepts - UPDATED 10/13 V.2 Stormtrooper« on: October 14, 2005, 07:26 PM »
Cool, where can we see the pics?
They're paired with the original concept art entries, I believe on page 2 and 3.

Cool, where can we see the pics?
I'm pretty sure that's what he means, refererring to the face of the helmet mostly.
Do you post these in the art section ever? They seem to be more of art than figure customs (great art though).
IMHO, I don't like it. I don't like the long look of it. I know that is what you are going for here but it just reminds me of joke, a horse walks into a bar and the bartender says why the long face?
Very nice work JubJub. So after having your drawing tablet for a few weeks, would you buy the same one? Or would you get a different one?
Jub Jub,
If Dark Horse doesn't pan out, I know a lot of people at Tokyopop, and an editor at Marvel. I'd be happy to pass you some info.
What is your next amazing clone going to be?
The artwork is fantastic and the picture looks great. But I just do not like the idea of a clone trooper with a C sized rack on a battlefield. I just can't come to grips with that.
Nice work "JugJug."
Hey, which Wacom tablet did you get, where from, and how much? If you don't mind me asking.

Working women these days wear many hats, including mother, breadwinner and homemaker. And one of their biggest complaints is that there just isn't enough time in the day.
But help is tricking in from female entrepreneurs.
Chicagoan Liz Salcedo invented the Everpurse, a clutch that charges your cell phone. After one night on the charging pad, two lifetimes worth of batteries are at your disposal.
"All you do is drop the phone in the pocket and it starts to charge," she explained. "It's all integrated directly in the bag. Its super simple."
Lincoln Park boutique Laudi Vidni is working with Salcedo to come up with more styles later this year.
Carrying around too many items? Try the hands-free liftgate from Ford and never fumble for your keys again. With the fob in your pocket or your purse, the hatch of the 2013 Ford Escape compact crossover SUV opens with a kick of the foot.
"If I see something that is going to make my life easier, I am going to go for it," said Chicagoan Renee Paradise.
Forbes included the product on their Top 8 "Killer Car Apps" for 2013.
Every working woman deserves a little spa time. But when?
Prettyquick.com will tell you what salon in your area has an opening with a few clicks of the mouse.
"We facilitate last minute luxury," explained Coco Meers.
She saw how well it works for restaurants with the popular Open Table and thought to do the same for salons.
"For me it could be a last minute meeting during the day cancels and I have time, or if I want to squeeze it in after work," said satisfied customer and busy finance executive Danielle Drabkin.
Get more chores done faster with an Apptivity case for the iPad. Kids can't break it or accidentally switch off the game. They are busy. You are free.
And at makeup counters everywhere: BB cream. Nearly every cosmetic company has one. It's an all in one "beauty balm" brought to the states from the Far East.
BB creams hydrate the skin, prime the skin, protect it, treat it and add a little hint of color, all in one application.
Busy women who've tried it say they can't live without it.
"Anything that can shave down time to do anything is priceless," said career mom Nazy Saidi.

World markets buoyed by S&P push to record high
MUMBAI, India (AP) — World stock markets rose Friday, boosted by a strong performance on Wall Street, where the S&P 500 index was on track to close at another record high.
Investors looked past a downward revision to the U.S. economic growth rate in the fourth quarter, to 2.4 percent from 3.2 percent, and focused on strong manufacturing data out of the Chicago area.
That helped the S&P, which had closed at a record on Thursday, push even higher. It was up 0.7 percent at 1,866.54 while the Dow was up the same rate at 16,387.07.
In Europe, Germany's DAX closed 1.1 percent higher at 9,692.08 while France's CAC 40 rose 0.3 percent to 4,408.08. Britain's FTSE 100 ended flat at 6,809.70.
Investors are keeping a nervous eye on the crisis in Ukraine after the country's new interior minister, Arsen Avakov, accused Russia's military of staging a "military invasion and occupation" by blocking a Ukrainian military airport in the Black Sea port of Sevastopol in Crimea.
Russia remained silent while Ukraine's fugitive president, Viktor Yanukovych, told a news conference in Moscow that he would keep fighting for his country.
"The Ukraine situation seems to be escalating in the background and could haunt markets in coming weeks," said IG market analyst Stan Sahmu.
Until this week, investors had monitored developments in Ukraine with a degree of nonchalance. Now they are worrying that Russia may be drawn in after Moscow granted shelter to Ukraine's fugitive president, Viktor Yanukovych, after recent deadly protests in Kiev swept in a new government.
In Asia, China's tightly controlled currency, the yuan, was allowed to fall to 6.1450 to the dollar. That followed a steady decline over the past two weeks after the yuan hit record highs, coming close early this year to breaking through six to the dollar.
Analysts believe China's central bank is preparing to widen the narrow band within which the yuan is allowed to fluctuate each day. That would be an effort to discourage speculators by allowing more market flexibility and to cool inflows of money attracted by higher Chinese interest rates.
The central bank's move "largely reflects its determination to tame appreciation expectations and counter hot money inflows," said DBS Group in a report Friday. "It does not suggest a fundamental shift of policy toward weakening the currency."
China's Shanghai Composite Index rose 0.4 percent and South Korea's Kospi gained 0.1 percent. The Hang Seng in Hong Kong was little changed while India's Sensex gained 0.4 percent.
Japan's Nikkei 225, the regional heavyweight, was an exception, dropping 0.6 percent after a raft of economic data released Friday suggested the economy needs still more help in weathering a 3 percent sales tax increase in April.
In currency markets, the euro was up 0.7 percent to $1.3809 while the dollar fell 0.1 percent to 102.06 yen.
AP Business Writer Joe McDonald in Beijing contributed.

Don't touch the hair.
Heads & Shoulders has reportedly taken out a $1 million Lloyds of London insurance policy on the tresses of Pittsburgh Steelers star Troy Polamalu.
"It's like J.Lo's insured butt!" the All-Pro safety told People mag, comparing his 35" Samoan locks to unconfirmed rumors about Jennifer Lopez's signature feature.
U.S. & World
This isn't the first time Lloyds of London has backed prized celebrity assets, Yahoo! Sports reported.
The firm has also mined publicity for its policies on Tina Turner's legs, rocker Keith Richards' fingers and Celine Dion's vocal chords, according to Yahoo!
As for Polamalu, the Head & Shoulders pitchman told People he hasn't cut his hair in eight years.
He also explained that his 45-minute pre-game hair care routine is akin to war preparations from civilizations past.
"You have the Mongolians, the Japanese Samurai, the Spartans–all of these warriors with long hair…and in that way you can almost get into the mind-way, preparing for some type of battle when you are doing your hair," Polamalu said.

Imagine an intersection where completely de-restricted race cars of almost any kind are allowed to drift in, do burnouts and donuts to their heart's content, and then peel off into the night without any fear of the cops.
This is the Karowa stage of Poland's Barborka rally, and it might be the most hoonage-packed intersection in the world.
Reader Wojtek Jakóbczyk sent in this brief description of the hoonage you're seeing above.
this is a clip from the 50th edition of the most prestigious rally in Poland, called "Barborka". It's final special stage "Karowa" takes place downtown Warsaw on a very narrow, winding street and is exempt from the most technical rules of FIA rallying (no restrictors on turbos for example, all classes of vehicles including rallycross or baja trucks allowed). However, since it's not included in the final standings of the rally but is considered an event by itself, some drivers just do not take the whole route, but show off on a crossing of two streets, by the main grandstand.
The rally itself is an invitational event of the Polish Automotive Club and features drivers from various types of motorsports — racing, rallying, drifting (they sometimes screw up), this year Felix Baumgartner of Red Bull Stratos took part (got lost on SS2 and was DQF).
The guy doing donuts is Maciej Steinhoff, a racing driver and winner of ADAC Volkswagen Polo and 1st runner-up in Scirocco R Cup. Seems he's quite good in precision driving.
Can you think of a more hoonage-filled intersection than this crossing in Warsaw? We can't.

Here's my "Freaky Friday Fashion" pic of the week. A yuck mouth shoe that's candy-coated with pretty, silver spikes and sparkly jewels. Sounds like a few people I know; they portray a nice outwardly appearance, but possess a monster of a mouth.
Halloween is just around the corner, so get your spook on.
