Jeg Coughlin Jr. Wins Fifth Title!
November 15, 2013 by Michael
JEGS Performance and XS Power holding the trophy at the end of the day yet
again! Congrats to Jeg Coughlin, Jr. and the entire JEGS crew for winning
their fifth Pro Stock title Sunday in the Auto Club NHRA Finals.
JEGS.com/Mopar Dodge driver Jeg Coughlin Jr.won his fifth Pro Stock title Sunday in the Auto Club NHRA Finals, joining John Force, Shawn Langdon and Matt Smith as season champions. Coughlin, a four-time event winner this season in his Dodge Avenger, took the title at historic Auto Club Raceway at Pomona when his only remaining challenger, Jason Line, lost in the second round of eliminations.
"In this day and age, it is so tough to win out here," said Coughlin, from Columbus, Ohio. "We've seen a lot of races won and lost by just a few thousands of a second. I think this is one of the tightest, and one of the most intense championships I've ever won. This ranks right up there with 2007 when we had the two cuts to the Countdown to One in the first year of our playoffs." Coughlin is the eighth driver in NHRA history to win five pro series championships. He also won a Super Gas title in the NHRA Lucas Oil Series in 1992.

Jeg Coughlin Jr.
October 8, 2013 by Michael
again! Congrats to Jeg Coughlin, Jr. and the entire JEGS crew for taking over
the points lead in the NHRA Pro-Stock division this past weekend.
JEGS.com/Mopar Dodge driver Jeg Coughlin Jr. took command of the Pro Stock points lead with a brilliant performance in winning the Auto-Plus NHRA Nationals on Sunday at Maple Grove Raceway. Coughlin, the four-time Pro Stock champion, won on holeshots in the semi-finals and final, beating J&J Racing teammate Allen Johnson in the finalround with a .004-second reaction time.
"Sometimes you live and die on your starts, there's no question about it," said Coughlin, who secured his 56th career Pro Stock victory. "We just had some off runs the last two weeks and didn't get away with it. I think the thing that fired me up is following my son, Jeg III, play in the Ohio state district golf tournament. He was looking to advance to the state finals. It was an event, kind of like the Countdown (to the Championship), where it's all on the line.
A bad hole or two can make it tough.
"As I was keeping his stats for him, I was just getting more and more fired up by watching his drive and dedication. I told him after that, 'Man, this weekend is going to be just fantastic for me because you've got me fired up.'"
Coughlin's "worst" reaction time Sunday was .032 seconds, but he also had lights of .022 and .012. The .012 came against No. 1 qualifier Jason Line in the semifinals after Line had lane choice with a quicker pass in the quarterfinals. But thanks to Coughlin's head start of .029 seconds (Line was .041 on the Christmas Tree); he was able to hold off Line's pass of 6.607 seconds at 210.01 mph with his slower run of 6.615 seconds at 208.39 mph.
Johnson, the No. 2 qualifier who had one of the quickest cars Sunday, had lane choice, too. But Coughlin's near-perfect reaction time got him ahead, and he won with a pass of 6.616 seconds at 208.75 mph, holding off Johnson's quicker 6.588 second run at 209.39 mph.
The two holeshot wins give Coughlin 91 for his stellar career, the most in Pro Stock history.
"It doesn't get any better than that," Coughlin said of the semifinals and final. "The KB Racing cars have come on like gangbusters the last four or five weeks. To get by my teammate AJ – he's gotten by me in a couple of finals this year – it felt nice to see that win light turn on. I put the car in fifth gear and peered over to the right. I could hear him but not see him.
"I saw my win light come on and that's when the celebration began. The J&J team did a heckuva job to get both our cars in the finals."
Coughlin had led the Pro Stock standings during the previous two races but didn't hang on to it at the end of each event. This time, though, he assured himself of the points lead by beating Line and then extended it to 45 points, unofficially, by winning the race.
"With the way things have played out the last couple of races with us playing around with the points lead, it feels good to leave Reading with the lead," Coughlin said. "I'm an optimistic person, but we've got a lot of racing left to do. All across the Pro Stock horizon they are (preparing) for a great Vegas run. We'd love to say this thing is all but over, but there are a lot of rounds left."
The Countdown resumes with the NHRA Nationals on Oct. 25-27 at The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, the penultimate race of 2013.
"I wasn't worried about not leaving the points lead in those other races," Coughlin said. "I was frustrated by the fashion we were eliminated from those events. We made a pretty good jump over No. 2 to have the points lead, but it's all about racing hard, racing smart. Fortunately our team did both those things this weekend."

Venturini Motorsports Going Back to Chicagoland!
July 19, 2013 by Nathan
(CONCORD, N.C. – July 19, 2013) – Venturini Motorsports celebrated its 30th season in the ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards last year with a dominant win at Chicagoland Speedway. Yet again, 30 is the goal. On Sunday, the team will have a chance at defending Victory Lane and earning its 30th ARCA win in a return to the place the Venturini family calls home.
Today, two-time ARCA driver champion Bill Venturini and owner champion Cathy Venturini, and son and team general manager Billy Venturini, are the key players in the team's operation from North Carolina. But the family racing lineage began over 60 years ago in Chicago, when Bill's father, Tony, raced at Soldier Field.
Bill and Cathy formed the team now known as Venturini Motorsports and entered ARCA competition in the early 1980s, and it was only 20 years ago that the family moved to Charlotte to stay ahead in racing. Still, by years, the majority of the Venturini family's racing history has taken place in and around Chicago, making Sunday's race as important as any.
"Chicago and Daytona always seem to be the two that we put checkmarks on at the beginning of the year that are important to win," Billy Venturini said. "We have been lucky enough to win Chicago a couple of times. Hopefully, with our performance in the last intermediate race at Michigan we can roll that recent success to a win at Chicago. This race personally means a lot to our family and friends."
Kevin Swindell led every lap at the 1.5-mile Joliet, Ill. track last season, establishing a new race speed record of 141.103 mph. In Sunday's Ansell ActivArmr 150, four Venturini Motorsports drivers will have a chance to join Scott Lagasse (2008) and Swindell as Venturini winners at Chicagoland by scoring a milestone win.
Justin Boston, who is fourth in the ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards point standings, will be at the wheel of the Venturinis' flagship No. 25 car in Sunday's race, hoping to improve upon an impressive speedway performance at Michigan International Speedway last month. Boston (No. 25 ZLOOP Computer & Electronic Recycling Centers Toyota) led 15 laps before finishing fourth, which tied his career high.
Milka Duno (No. 35 CanTV/Milka Way Toyota), the team's other full-time driver, stands seventh in points, only 110 points from fifth. Duno finished 18th at Chicagoland last year, and will look to improve on an already consistent run which has seen her place between 10th and 13th in each of the last six races this year.
Caleb Armstrong (No. 15 Venturini Motorsports Toyota) last raced in ARCA at Talladega in May, finishing a career-high third. Racing just a three-hour drive from his hometown of New Castle, Ind., Armstrong undoubtedly has his eyes on earning his first ARCA win in front of a Midwestern crowd.
The local connection is even stronger for A.J. Henriksen (No. 55 Venturini Motorsports Toyota), who calls Elgin, Ill. – located fewer than 60 miles from the track – his hometown. Henriksen's 90th ARCA start will be his eighth at Chicagoland but first since 2008. He placed seventh in 2001.
So as the green flag drops on Sunday's Ansell ActivArmr 150 to mark the halfway point of ARCA's 2013 season, Venturini Motorsports has plenty going for it: hometown support, familiar surroundings, and a strong history of recent speed and success.
Practice will begin at 4:10 p.m. Saturday, with Menards Pole Qualifying presented by Ansell at noon Sunday. The 100-lap, 150-mile race will begin at 5 p.m. CT and air live on SPEED. ARCARacing.com will feature live timing and scoring coverage of all on-track events

XS Power Wins at Daytona Again!!
February 18, 2013 by Nathan
Venturini Motorsports Wins Daytona!
Venturini Motorsports driver John Wes Townley took the checkered flag Saturday after an amazing sequence of events inside the final 10 laps left him at the front of the Lucas Oil 200 presented by MAVTV American Real. Townley won from the pole in what was the 50th annual ARCA Racing Series event at Daytona International Speedway.
"It's one thing to win your first race in ARCA, it's another to win at Daytona," Townley said after the first win in the 31-year history of Venturini Motorsports at Daytona International Speedway.
"This is just a great day for Venturini Motorsports," Townley said. "This is priceless. I almost wouldn't trade it for anything in the world. It's a real honor."

Enders Goes Back-2-Back
Erica Enders stormed to her second consecutive Pro Stock victory, and third of her increasingly stellar season, by winning the Lucas Oil NHRA Nationals at Brainerd International Raceway on Sunday.That follows her historic victory in Chicago on July 1, when she became the first woman to win in the ultra-competitive Pro Stock class, and her win in Seattle on Aug. 5 when she and Courtney Force became the first duo of women to win the same national event. Plus, Sunday's victory was a first in an NHRA national event at Brainerd for a woman since legendary Shirley Muldowney won here in Top Fuel in 1986.
"That is really special," Enders said. "Shirley is a hero of mine, and she's done so much for this sport and especially for the females in it.To do what we did in Seattle with Courtney and myself and to make that history, and then to come here and do back-to-back, it's unbelievable. It blows my mind."
Enders has now won three of the last six Pro Stock races, firmly placing her name among the contenders for the 2012 championship.
"It's already surreal for me," Enders, 28, said. "I'm so blessed to be in this position. I know that, and I know how quickly it can disappear. It's a dream come true for me, and finally, after all the hard work, sweat, tears, it's nice to be with such a great team and have the chance to chase the championship. I'm excited about it. I think we've got as good a shot as anybody. I'd certainly put my money on us."
Her GK Motorsports team, led by car owner Victor Cagnazzi and crew chiefs Dave Connolly and Tommy Utt, has worked to improve the performance of Enders' Chevrolet Cobalt in recent months.
Enders' recent streak – which also includes track elapsed-time records in Sonoma and Brainerd – is proof of the hard work.
XS Power is Proud to be a sponsor of Erica Enders and Caganazzi Motorsports.

Enders With Another Wally!
August 6, 2012 by Nathan
Erica Enders took homer her second Wally of the year in a dominating fashion Sunday in Seattle. Erica drove the GK Motorsports Chevy Cobra past three of the best en route to her win. She took out Greg Anderson in the quarterfinals, Allen Johnson in the semifinals, and the reigning Pro Stock world champion Jason Line in the final round to bring home another victory for Cagnazzi Motorsports.
"I'm so proud of my guys because they won this race today," Enders said. "They gave me a great car for me to drive, and we drove it right to the winner's circle. I'm honored to be their driver, and hopefully we can get a few more wins before the season is over. If we can position ourselves well before the Countdown begins, this is a good time to be starting to gain momentum. Beating those guys [Greg Anderson, Allen Johnson, and Jason Line] is something else because they've always been on the top of my list, guys that I've looked up to my entire life. Allen and Pam are very good friends of mine. I knew that [Allen] wanted to sweep [the Western Swing], but I told him I was going to take that dagum broom out of his hand, and he wasn't leaving here with it. I'm just very proud to do it for Gaston Kirby and the team."
With the win, Enders clinched her spot in the Countdown to the Championship, NHRA's playoffs that start in Charlotte, Sept. 14-16.
For the first time in NHRA Full Throttle Drag Racing Series history, two female drivers claimed Wally trophies at the same event. Courtney Force powered her Traxxas Ford Mustang Funny Car to the winner's circle for the first time in her career, and Erica Enders earned her second career Pro Stock victory in her GK Racing Chevy Cobalt at the O'Reilly Auto Parts NHRA Northwest Nationals presented by Super Start Batteries at Pacific Raceways.
"To have both me and Erica in the winner's circle is awesome," Force said. "We're not just out here to race the boys, we're here to beat the boys and today just proves that."

Victory Lane Again!
Tennessee's Kevin Swindell picked them up and laid them down at Chicagoland Speedway this past weekend. Kevin put his Venturini Motorsports #55 CURB Records Toyota on the pole for the race, and then lead all 100 laps to win the ARCA Ansell ActivArmr® 150. "The car was excellent," said Swindell. "I was able to get out in front and keep clean air and try not to make any mistakes in traffic, and everything went well. I didn't have any trouble with the pit stops, and the Curb Records car was great. Everything was good, and I can't thank Venturini Motorsports and my crew chief Keith Hinkein enough for one heck of a car."
Swindell, the son of Sprint Car racing icon Sammy Swindell, earned his second career Pole position and his first ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards victory of his young career. At 23-years old, Swindell is no stranger to the spotlight as he's gained national recognition as a three-time and defending champion at the famed Chili Bowl Midget Nationals in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
XS Power is proud to power and sponsor Venturini Motorsports!

XS Power in Victory Lane at Daytona
July 9, 2012 by Nathan
What odds would you give an underfunded NASCAR race team with a beaten and battered race car on the high banking super speedway of f Daytona? Not very good right? Well take that same team, car and race track, but add in the heart and passion of a champion and the odds increase significantly. They actually go up all the way to Victory Lane! Kurt Busch drove the Phoenix Racing Chevy to the win Friday night in the Subway Jalapeno 250 at Daytona.
Kurt had the #1 Chevy up front all night until an accident late in the race left Kurt's car beaten and battered. The team came into the pits 6 times to fix damages on the car and would never give up."It's just a matter of putting yourself in position to win," Busch said. "Tonight, we overcame our damage. We could have folded, but these guys jumped into action and didn't give up."
Kurt was leading the pack to the checkered flag when everyone started making their moves to take the lead from him. Kurt showed why he is a NASCAR champion though and held everyone off for the win. "I don't know much about anything else. You get caught up in marketing or PR and everything else that goes along with it, but you've got to do all the steps in this day and age. I keep saying I grew up 30 years too late, and I still haven't grown up, even though I'm 33. But back in the 80s, that's what this team reminds me of. It's family. And you go hard, or you go home."
Nick Harrison, Crew Chief on the #1 Phoenix Racing Chevy, talked about the hit they took and the end of the race. "We did take a heavy shot in the left rear right in front of the tire, killed the quarter panel and all the crush panels. The S975 held up like a Sherman tank! The charging system quit (alternator cooling) with 10 laps to go and Kurt shut everything down to conserve some reserve capacity. The crew was worried but, I knew the "real" numbers and that we could run over half the race off of those batteries. He (Kurt Busch) made moves through the field like a surgeon, but without the best stuff available it would have been short lived. Thank you and your guys for fixing our electrical issues. It's great to run the A1 parts like that S975 instead of the recycled suspect look alike. Our congratulations goes out to everyone at XS POWER! By the way, I load tested it afterwards, still 12.75 volts of charge and north of 500 Amps @ 9.6 volts with a VAT40. That's a sharp scalpel in anyone's book. On behalf of Kurt, Phoenix Racing and everyone at KBI, Thanks Again!"

XS Power in the History Books!
Erica Enders and Cagnazzi Racing had been to the final round 6 times in the past and had come up a little short each time. Erica made her first ever Pro Stock finals in 2005 at Chicago, and going into this weekend at Chicago the team felt they had a good shot of making it back to the final round. Well Sunday in Chicago Enders made it to the final round and ran a 6.627 seconds at 207.40 mph to beat Greg Anderson and take home her first ever Pro Stock Wally. Enders became the first female ever to win in the NHRA Pro Stock division.
""It's awesome," said Enders, the 12th female winner in an NHRA pro category race. "I think that if I could have planned it I would have asked to run Greg in the final. You know that he made it very clear that he didn't want to lose to me. He's a very competitive guy and I love him to death, but I couldn't wait to beat him. I'm glad (the win) came here in Chicago. I had my first final in Pro Stock here in 2005, and so it was nice to circle back around and get it done here.
"Pro Stock is tough. It will humble you in an instant. When you think you've got it figured out, you go to Bristol and blow all your (engines) up. I can't say enough about my guys (crew). They're amazing, and I love them."

Heading to Sonoma
June 18, 2012 by Nathan
Kurt Busch and the Phoenix Racing #51 Chevrolet head to Sonoma, CA this weekend. In 2011 Kurt lead the most laps and went on to win in Sonoma for his first road course win. Heading to the west coast may just be what the team needs right now. The #51 Chevy was very fast in practice and qualifying at Michigan, but a loose race car got him into to trouble early and made for a very long day for the team.
Kurt has 4 Top 5 finishes and 4 Top 10 finishes along with one win at Sonoma.

Back to Back Wins!
Venturini Motorsports showed just how dominate of a team they are at the newly paved Pocono Raceway this past weekend. Brennan Poole dominated the entire race with his #25 Venturini Motorsports Toyota and picked up the maximum points possible to extend his lead at the top of the points standings.Poole started off the weekend by setting a blistering qualifying run which set a new qualifying record on Friday, breaking Kyle Busch's 2003 mark with a fast lap of 173.554 mph. Poole won the pole by nearly a quarter of a second over teammate Kevin Swindell (No. 55 Curb Records/Venturini Motorsports Toyota). Poole started from the pole and went on to lead 77 of the 80 laps. Swindell also had a very fast car and passed more cars than any other driver on the track, but a front left tire issue plagued him all day.
Poole's victory puts him unofficially leading the points by 60 points in the ARCA series. Venturini Motorsports and the ARCA series presented by Menards are heading to the Michigan International Speedway for the RainEater Wiper Blades 200, which will air live on SPEED Friday at 5:00pm.

Venturini Motorsports Wins Again!
June 7, 2012 by Nathan
(ELKO NEW MARKET, Minn.) – Brennan Poole passed Frank Kimmel for the lead in the Akona 200 presented by Federated Car Care on Lap 134 of 200 and did not relent, winning his second race in the ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards.
Poole (No. 25 Venturini Motorsports Chevrolet) led 148 laps in all after first taking the lead from Matt Lofton (No. 16 Strutmasters.com Chevrolet) on Lap 12 and leading until the caution flag was out on Lap 92, then ultimately running first for the final 67 laps.
Matt Lofton finished second over Chris Buescher (No. 17 BeavEx/Reliance Tool Ford), and they were followed by Kimmel (No. 44 Ansell/Menards Toyota) and Tom Hessert (No. 52 Federated Auto Parts Chevrolet).
"The car was really good," said Poole, whose last win came in his series debut last spring at Salem Speedway in Indiana. "I can't thank Venturini Motorsports enough. It's pretty awesome to win the inaugural race at Elko. I had a lot of fun here tonight. The track's a blast. Of course, it's always fun when you've got such a good race car. I was slipping and sliding and trying to get everything out of it coming into the corner, dodging traffic. It was crazy.
"We've never been to a place like this. I'm proud of my guys and all the work they did."
The race was the first for ARCA at Elko Speedway, just south of Minneapolis and St. Paul. ARCA's top division had never before appeared in Minnesota.
Poole had shown his dominance early in the race, pulling away to leads of over three seconds on second place and more than 10 seconds on third. When Poole drove away, he truly got away from the field. Often, he would cross the start/finish line when someone as high as third place was just exiting Turn 2 on the 0.375-mile oval.
His final margin of victory was 1.205 second, perhaps a conservative margin.
"The car was really good out front and it worked really well in traffic," said the 21-year-old from The Woodlands, Texas. "We were just a little bit tight, so we had to save the right front once we got into the lead. I kind of used up what I had to get into the lead so once I got there, I just tried to let it ride and protect that right front. That first run, I was good up front, but I used up my right front tire and started to get tight late in the run.
"I thought our pit strategy was great. (Crew chief) Billy (Venturini) made a great call on that. We came down and got four tires a little later than some of the other guys and our car was good enough to march to the front of the field."
Alex Bowman (No. 22 St. Jude Children's Research Hospital Dodge) won the Menards Pole Award presented by Ansell for the third time in six races this season, but could only hold the lead for eight laps before being passed by Lofton. Poole opened up a quarter-second lead at Lap 12 and extended it to more than three seconds by Lap 42. His lead over Lofton had fallen off to less than two seconds when a car spun on Lap 67 to bring out the race's first caution. While Kimmel, Buescher, Bowman, Lofton, and other contenders elected to pit, Poole stayed out and got away clean at the Lap 76 restart.
Kimmel, driving on fresh tires, rose to third by Lap 86 and second over Hessert on Lap 89, but Poole still led by more than a second. Another spin on Lap 91 brought out the race's second caution flag, causing Poole to pit.
Kimmel took the lead under the yellow flag on Lap 93, driving ahead of Lofton, Buescher, Poole, and Ryan Reed. He led out of the Lap 97 restart, and stayed there through two more caution periods, which concluded with green flags on Laps 117 and 123.
The Lap 123 restart would prove to be the race's last, and Kimmel led a two-by-two pack as cars moved back to speed. On his outside was Buescher, and the two were trailed by Lofton on the inside and Poole on the outside, in fourth. Kimmel originally got away and the group became a single line six laps later, but Poole moved inside Lofton for third on Lap 130. Three laps later, he passed Buescher on the backstretch, and one lap later he took the lead from Kimmel in the same place. Buescher moved past Kimmel for second, but Kimmel eventually regained the spot.
Side-by-side traffic throughout the race's late stages allowed Poole to get away. Hessert climbed to fourth in the final laps and had a look at third place. Larry Barford Jr., driving several laps down, drove into Hessert and Buescher as they all drove to the checkered flag, setting off some personal fireworks between Hessert and Barford as Poole coasted to a final victory margin of 1.205 seconds. He now leads Hessert by 10 points in the unofficial series standings.
Joey Miller, making his first ARCA start since last August, finished sixth at his home track; Miller is from Lakeville, Minn., and was looking for his sixth ARCA win after leading the first practice. Chad Hackenbracht, who won a national legends championship at Elko in 2008, finished seventh. Erik Jones, Mason Mingus, and Jared Marks filled out the top 10.
From the green flag to the checkered flag, the race last just 44 seconds over an hour, a 74.09 mph pace. Four caution flags slowed the field for 26 laps.
The ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards will visit Pocono Raceway for the first of two events this season next Saturday, June 9. SPEED will air the race at 2:30 p.m. on a same-day delay, one of 10 broadcasts for the series on the network this season. ARCARacing.com will feature live timing and scoring of all on-track events Friday and Saturday.

Congratulations to Hairston Motorsports for setting the new WCHRA National Speed record!
September 17, 2010 by Nathan
Hairston Motorsports & Racing Brings Home Win & Sets another Record
Famoso, CA – The Hairston Motorsports & Racing team attended the West Coast Hot Rod Association (WCHRA) California Nationals, at the famous Famoso Raceway, this past weekend. Clint "The Milkman" Hairston of Bakersfield qualified 3rd with a 6.79 @ 230.94 mph struggling with traction problems on all three qualifiers. Randy Walker set the bar pretty high with a stout 6.281 pass for the #1 spot.
Dealing with extreme heat all weekend was a struggle but Jake Hairston, Crew Chief, and Doug Stewart, Co-Crew Chief/Clutch Specialist were able to make the right changes allowing Clint to take his Jerry Bickel built 2007 GTO to the final round against Randy Walker's 1974 Chevrolet El Camino, the reigning 2009 WCHRA Pro Street Champion. Clint took out Jay Diedrich's beautiful Pro Mod 57 Chevy in the Semi-Finals with a blistering 6.201 @ 240.32 mph setting up the final with Walker. Unfortunately, Walker was unable to restart his car after stalling in the water box giving Clint a single for the win. Jim Hairston, Team Owner, commented that "Clint asked Jake if he should just take the bulb and idle down the track, but Jake rifled back NO WAY, we want the record GO FOR IT." Clint did not disappoint the crowd running a 6.183 @ 240.77 mph setting the new WCHRA National Speed record.
Hairston also holds the Pacific Street Car Association Pro Street National E.T. and MPH record that was set at Fontana on May 23, 2010 (6.084 @ 238.30 mph).
Hairston Motorsports & Racing would like to give special thanks to Lucas Oil for being our title sponsor this year and also thank our many other loyal sponsors; Pertronix, Duttweiler Performance, Precision Turbo, XS Power, Powermaster, Racepak, Hoosier Tire, K&N, Crower Clutches, Lenco, Comp Cams, Hogan Manifolds, Jesel, Strange, Motive Gear, Inland Empire Driveline, SCE Gaskets, Starside Design, Specialty Fasteners, Russell, Brodix and ARP for their continuing support.

This Watermelon Gazpacho is your new go to meal when temperatures climb! Raw fruits and vegetables come together for an amazingly fresh flavor that can't be beat! And just look at that color!
We're in the middle of a heatwave here in Seattle. The temps outside have been in the upper 80's and low 90's for over a week and there is no sign of it changing. And I know, the 80's themselves aren't all that bad, except that Seattle isn't used to this heat at all—I am actually really surprised at how much my body has acclimated in the last 15+ years. I would have laughed at my current self 15 years ago when I lived through the brutally muggy summers of Philadelphia. But here we are—hot, with no AC. To make things worse, our house is one big stagnant air mass—even with 4 fans running on blast it registers 97° in my kitchen….at 11pm. (Although, thankfully, Irving is my hero and just ordered "me" a portable AC—it arrives Thursday, not that I'm counting or anything.).
So, yesterday I posed a question on Facebook—"Does anyone have a great gazpacho recipe?"—because there is no way I'm turning on stoves and ovens in this heat! Several of you responded with great suggestions, and I found a few recipes online and in my own cookbooks. I never found one recipe that was exactly what I wanted, so I combined little bits of each recipe into my own, which Irving declared to be one of my Top 10 recipes of all time. Ever. I've been cooking for him for over 10 years now, from omnivore to vegetarian to vegan, so that says a lot!
Before I share the recipe, let me backup and tell you about gazpacho. Gazpacho is a raw (most of the time) tomato based soup that is served cold. The style originated in the south of Spain—and after spending time there a few years ago I can attest to the need for a cold soup. Irving and I travelled through Spain in 2009—about 6 months before I became a vegetarian. We joked that our trip might have put me over the edge, as it seemed like vegetables were few and far between. Except for gazpacho, which was served as an appetizer in every restaurant. And wouldn't you know it, I declared that I didn't like it and didn't even want to taste it, based on preconceived notions formed back when I was high school. Looking back I am so sad that I missed out on amazing, authentic Spanish gazpacho—what was I thinking?
^^^ Spain in August was beautiful…and hot. I completely understand the gazpacho obsession!
Thankfully I've come around and I have a recipe to share with you today! While most gazpachos use tomatoes and peppers as their base, this one uses watermelon with a small amount of tomato. Although it is fruit based, it is definitely a savory soup. It tastes best when allowed to chill for a few hours, so plan accordingly. I puree a large portion of the ingredients, but leave a small amount separate like a salsa garnish—I like to have a little bit of texture so I don't feel like I'm drinking a smoothie for dinner!
I also like to serve my Watermelon Gazpacho with a few big slices of garlic bread—I'll put a note on how to prepare it below. I also served it with an Italian version of my 3 Bean Salad. I haven't written up that recipe, but you can find a similar recipe here. Keep things super authentic and serve with some Tinto Verano (sangria), or go for a Sparkling Pineapple Mojito!
More No Cook Recipes that you will Love!
Too Hot to Cook—Summer Meals!
I hope this cold soup helps you get through the heat this summer. I know it will be a recurring meal around here—between Irving and Jonathan we barely had enough! This watermelon gazpacho would be a fun twist on a watermelon dish for your 4th of July BBQ—try it out and wow your friends! I'd love for you to follow me on Instagram, and tag photos you post of my recipes with #frieddandelions so that I can see! I love to see your creations!
Place all of the gazpacho ingredients in a blender (watermelon through red onion). Blend well until all chunks are gone and it is smooth. Place in a large container with a lid and refrigerate for 3 hours to allow flavors to mingle.
Finely chop the ingredients as noted above and place in a small container with a lid. Add the basil, vinegar, olive oil and salt and mix gently. Cover and place in the refrigerator for 3 hours to allow the flavors to mingle.
Preheat your oven on the broil setting (I promise, just for a few minutes). Slice the bread into 1/2-3/4" thick slices. Brush the tops with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper if desired. Place in the broiler and watch carefully. Once the bread has browned remove it from the oven immediately. Rub the flat cut surface of the garlic clove over the surface of all of the bread slices.
Ladle the soup into bowls. Place one scoop of the salsa garnish in the center of each bowl. Serve with several slices of garlic bread. Enjoy!

After the Crisis: Investing in Sustainability
When we watched the crisis in the Horn of Africa unfold, we felt we couldn't act quickly enough. We launched an urgent campaign to intervene in the lives of thousands of people by sending containers of nutrient-packed food and medical supplies.
What our supporters accomplished was incredible—32 containers of aid sent to the Horn; thousands rescued from starvation and sickness.
But we don't plan on ending our involvement in the Horn. After meeting immediate physical needs, we can begin to invest in sustainable solutions that will further develop and rebuild the frail infrastructure of these recovering countries. Through our Global Hunger Fund, communities throughout the Horn of Africa can begin to establish a lasting health.
This unique fund goes beyond just supplying humanitarian aid; it gives opportunities to build toward the future. It offers simple, but strategic solutions to hunger, poverty, poor economy, and more.
The Global Hunger Fund allows us to act fast where food shortages are most dire.
We distribute arable land grains, rapid-growing produce, and livestock. These resources yield benefits that meet basic needs, while simultaneously strengthening the physical, fiscal, and social health of a community. Grains and seeds are easily-manageable agricultural investments, while livestock (particularly poultry) provide essential nutrition, as well as fertilization and a source of income. Though basic, these are assets that stabilize communities and allow them to thrive.
Sustainability for a community means a future of health and prosperity. It means families will have the financial means to provide their children with medicine and education, individuals can run small businesses and help to develop their local economy, communities can begin to invest in social cultivation, and subsequent generations will succeed.
The Global Hunger Fund is a strategic way to ensure that thousands of people will have viable or productive futures for years to come. By setting up sustainable methods and standards of living, we give opportunities for lasting health on all levels.
World Help can only provide this health through the help of our inspiring supporters.
Recently, we were encouraged by the efforts of a university dance group The Peacemakers who campaigned to raise funds for the Global Hunger Fund. The group hosted "More Rockin' 3," a dance competition whose proceeds provided sustainable solutions for people affected by the Horn of Africa crisis. It is because of the selfless passion of individuals like these students that thousands will experience lasting health.
Learn more about how you can help us provide sustainability to communities in need through our Global Hunger Fund.

Race on to snap up Aussie teen star Kuol
Garang Kuol, Australia's hottest soccer prospect, is a man in demand as British clubs clamour to snap him up on loan from Premier League challengers Newcastle United.
The teenager sparked a social media buzz on Thursday when photographed touring Scottish Premiership club Hearts, prompting the prospect that he could be temporarily reunited with three of his Socceroo World Cup teammates there.
Hearts boss Robbie Neilson, who already has Nathaniel Atkinson, Cammy Devlin and Kye Rowles on the Edinburgh club's roster, confirmed Kuol had been at the club's training base for talks about a loan deal after officially joining high-flying Newcastle at the start of the year.
But Neilson said no deal for the striker was yet imminent, telling reporters: "He's a player we're interested in so he came up for a look around with his agent. He's got a number of clubs very interested in him.
"He's a huge prospect. He's one we've known about for quite a long time because he comes from the same team (Central Coast Mariners) that Kye Rowles was at.
"The opportunity came to speak to him so we brought him up and we'll see where it goes. It's still at the very early stages. It will depend what other clubs are in for him."
Reports have linked Kuol with other Scottish top-flight and English Championship clubs, but Hearts are a good bet with their current Australian trio all living in the same Edinburgh apartment block.
All popular there, the trio are known as the 'Jambo-roos' after the Scottish club's nickname, the Jambos.
Hearts are currently third in the Premiership, even if a yawning 24 points behind runaway leaders, Ange Postecoglou's Celtic, and 15 behind second-placed Rangers.
Newcastle, third in the Premier League, are keen to give Kuol a taste of the bustling British game following his dramatic World Cup baptism that ended with the youngster nearly netting a last-gasp equaliser against eventual champions Argentina in the last-16.
Newcastle boss Eddie Howe took no time in suggesting Kuol needed a temporary home, announcing this week: "I do think that for the player's development, he needs to go and play.
"If possible, that would be at a very good level, with a good club and a good coach."

A Change in Leadership
February 20, 2019 / News by icssadmin
Founding Executive Director of International Civil Society Support (ICSS), Peter van Rooijen, has stepped down as head of the organisation. Peter founded ICSS in 2006, following his engagement in the HIV response and global health since the onset of the epidemics. Peter van Rooijen will continue in a new role through a partnership between the Joep Lange Institute and ICSS, in which he will focus on the future of aid.
From January 2019, taking over as Executive Director is Raoul Fransen, who has been at ICSS since its inception as a Senior Policy Adviser and brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the position. He has been actively involved in supporting global health and, in particular, community-led programmes supporting people living with HIV.
"It has been a privilege to be witness to the leadership and diverse accomplishments demonstrated by Peter over the past nearly two decades. It also sets a high bar," said Raoul Fransen.
"As Peter will remain on the ICSS team to lead on the future of international development aid and global health financing, an area of great significance and potential to ensure access to quality services for all. I am grateful for the confidence and support expressed by many of our partners and I look forward to furthering our collaboration in this new role."
"The best way of expressing how I feel is 'being proud'. Raoul and I have worked side-by-side for over 20 years, we have shared the passion for our work as well as the many frustrations," said Peter van Rooijen. "Raoul has become a unique leader in our field who combines professionalism with a deep knowledge of the role of communities and people living with HIV in the response. I am delighted that he, as a young leader, will guide ICSS into the future."
"The Supervisory Board of ICSS believe this change in leadership can bring new opportunities to achieve our shared goals.", said Frans van den Boom, PhD, chair of the ICSS Supervisory Board. "We express our sincere appreciation for the commitment and vision demonstrated by Peter over the past years, as well as the inexhaustible array of innovative initiatives he established. Raoul's understanding of current priority issues, key stakeholders and his technical expertise ensure our confidence in ICSS' ability to continue its work towards its mission and goal to enhance the response to HIV and broader global health through strategic partnerships supporting strong and effective
community and civil society leadership and policy advocacy at country, regional and global level. "
ICSS, a non-profit NGO, facilitates civil society partnerships in global health such as the Global Fund Advocates Network, which brings together more than 600 individuals and organizations from the global North and South in advocating for a fully funded and effective Global Fund to fight AIDS, TB and malaria, the Free Space Process, convening key global civil society and community networking organisations with a focus on HIV, and the Civil Society Sustainability Network, which coordinates the work of activists and advocates from around the world to address the funding crisis in middle income
countries, in the light of the current rapid withdrawal of international donor funding for the HIV/TB and malaria responses.

David Raum (* 22. April 1998 in Nürnberg) ist ein deutscher Fußballspieler. Er steht bei RB Leipzig unter Vertrag und ist deutscher A-Nationalspieler. Raum wird hauptsächlich im linken Mittelfeld eingesetzt.

Karriere

Verein

SpVgg Greuther Fürth
Raum wurde in Nürnberg geboren und begann beim örtlichen Tuspo Nürnberg bereits als Vierjähriger mit dem Fußballspielen. Mit acht Jahren wurde er in der Nachbarstadt im Nachwuchsleistungszentrum der SpVgg Greuther Fürth aufgenommen und fortan ausgebildet.

Als A-Jugendlicher konnte der Mittelfeldspieler in den Herrenmannschaften des Vereins erste Erfahrungen sammeln und gehörte ab der Zweitligasaison 2017/18 zum Kader der Profimannschaft. In den ersten beiden Runden des DFB-Pokals 2017/18 traf er jeweils einmal, schied mit der Mannschaft jedoch nach einer Niederlage gegen den FC Ingolstadt 04 aus. Darüber hinaus absolvierte Raum seine ersten 20 Spiele in der zweithöchsten deutschen Spielklasse und war seitdem Ergänzungsspieler, überwiegend auf der linken defensiven Außenbahn. Sein im Sommer 2020 auslaufender Vertrag wurde im Mai desselben Jahres per Option um ein weiteres Jahr verlängert. In der Spielzeit 2020/21 etablierte sich Raum endgültig als Stammspieler und stieg mit Greuther Fürth in die Bundesliga auf.

TSG 1899 Hoffenheim
Zur Saison 2021/22 wechselte Raum ablösefrei zur TSG 1899 Hoffenheim. Er unterschrieb bereits im Januar 2021 einen Vertrag mit einer Laufzeit bis zum 30. Juni 2025, der im Januar 2022 vorzeitig bis 2026 verlängert wurde. Sein Debüt für die TSG absolvierte Raum in der 1. Runde des DFB-Pokals beim 2:3-Auswärtssieg gegen Viktoria Köln im August 2021. Auch in Hoffenheim war Raum auf Anhieb als Stammspieler in der Startelf gesetzt und absolvierte so in seiner ersten Saison in der Bundesliga 32 Spiele und erzielte dabei 3 Tore. Für seine überzeugenden Leistungen wurde Raum im Juni 2022 von den Fans der TSG Hoffenheim zum Spieler der Saison gewählt.

RB Leipzig
Kurz vor dem Beginn der Saison 2022/23 wechselte Raum innerhalb der Bundesliga zu RB Leipzig. Er unterschrieb einen Vertrag bis zum 30. Juni 2027.

Nationalmannschaft
Raum absolvierte insgesamt elf Länderspiele für die U19 und die U20 des DFB (1 Tor).

Nachdem er schon am 17. November 2020 beim 2:1-Sieg gegen Wales für die U-21-Nationalmannschaft debütiert hatte, berief ihn Stefan Kuntz in den Kader für die Endrunde der Europameisterschaft 2021. Er kam bei allen Spielen zum Einsatz. Das Finale der Endrunde gewann Deutschland mit 1:0 gegen Portugal.

Anfang Juli 2021 wurde Raum von Kuntz in den Kader der deutschen Olympiaauswahl für das Fußballturnier der Olympischen Sommerspiele 2021 berufen. Raum bestritt alle drei Gruppenspiele über jeweils 90 Minuten. Nach einer Niederlage gegen Brasilien und zwei Unentschieden gegen Saudi-Arabien und die Elfenbeinküste schied seine Olympiaauswahlmannschaft allerdings schon nach der Gruppenphase aus dem Turnier aus.

Ende August 2021 wurde Raum vom neuen Bundestrainer Hansi Flick für die im September stattfindenden Qualifikationsspiele zur Weltmeisterschaft 2022 erstmals in die A-Nationalmannschaft berufen. Durch seine Einwechslung im Spiel gegen Armenien für Thilo Kehrer in der 83. Minute kam er zu seinem ersten A-Länderspiel.

Im November 2022 wurde er von Hansi Flick in den Kader für die Fußball-Weltmeisterschaft 2022 berufen.

The development of the technology followed a very traceable history which began in the early 1960's at the height of the cold war. In 1961, Dr. Allen Frey wrote, "Our data to date indicates that the human auditory system can respond to electromagnetic energy in at least a portion of the radio frequency (RF) spectrum. Further, this response is instantaneous and occurs at low power densities, densities which are well below that necessary for biological damage. For example, the effect has been induced with power densities 1/60 of the standard maximum safe level for continuous exposure." This observation had incredible ramifications because it meant that within certain ranges of RF people could create a sound perceived in the brain of a person at energy concentration levels considered too small to be significant.
Later that year a patent was issued to Dr. Puharich which stated in part, "The present invention is directed to a means for auxiliary hearing communication, useful for improving hearing, for example, and relates more specifically to novel and improved arrangements for auxiliary hearing communications by effecting the transmission of sound signals through the dental structure and facial nervous system of the user."162 This crude device produced a signal which could be heard in the brain by inducing a vibration which was transferred through the bone into the inner ear where it was then carried to the brain via the nervous system. Puharich continued researching along this line, gaining an additional patent in 1965 (US Patent #3.170.993). Both of these inventions required physical contact with the head of the subject.
By 1962, Dr. Allan Frey had advanced his work and was able to create sound at a distance from the subject using a pulsed (modulated) radio transmitter. "Using extremely low average power densities of electromagnetic energy, the perception of sounds was induced in normal and deaf humans. The effect was induced several hundred feet from the antenna the instant the transmitter was turned on, and is a function of carrier frequency and modulation." What was occurring in this research were the first attempts to "tune" into the brain of a human in the same manner as "tuning" into a radio station. The same energy was being used, it was just at a different frequency with a slight vibration (pulse-modulation) on the carrier wave which delivered the signal. This system is wireless.
In 1968, a patent was issued for a device which also required physical contact with the skin of the test subject. "This invention relates to electromagnetic excitation of the Nervous system of a mammal and pertains more particularly to method and apparatus for exciting the nervous system of a person with electromagnetic waves that are capable of causing that person to become conscious of information conveyed by the electromagnetic waves (US Patent No. 3.393.279)." This invention was much different than what others had created by that time because this device actually sent a clear audible signal through the Nervous system to the brain. The device could be placed anywhere on the body and a clear voice or music would appear in the head of the subject. This was a most unbelievable device which had actually been invented in the late 1950's. It had taken years to convince patent examiners that it worked. The initial patent was only was only granted after the dramatic demonstration of the device on a deaf employee of the United States Patent Office. In 1972, a second patent was issued to the same researcher after being suppressed by the military for four years. This device was much more efficient in that it converted a speech waveform into "a constant amplitude square wave in which the transitions between the amplitude extremes are spaced so as to carry the speech information (U.S Patent No. 3.647.970)." What this did is utilize the frequency code or timing sequences necessary for efficient transfers into the nervous system where the signals could be sent to the brain and decoded as sound in the same way that normal sound is decoded. The result was a clear and understandable sound.
In 2003, Robert Thiedemann of Munich, Germany, advanced the technology even further with the creation of the Holophon® in Germany and the Earthpulse Soundwave™ in the United States. This technology advanced the old design with higher fidelity and clarity in the sound transfer with a number of interesting effects being reported. The device was released in Europe and is scheduled for United States production beginning in early fall 2006. This device is used for positive applications by individuals and fully described in Part II of this book.
In 1971, a system was designed which would allow troops to communicate through a radio transmitter that rendered the enemy deaf and disoriented while allowing "friendly" combatants to communicate at the same time. The device was described as follows: "Broadly, this disclosure is directed to a system for producing aural and psychological disturbances and partial deafness of the enemy during combat situations. Essentially, a highly directional beam is radiated from a plurality of distinct transducers and is modulated by a noise, code, or speech beat signal. The invention may utilize various forms and may include movable radiators mounted on a vehicle and oriented to converge at a desired point, independently positioned vehicles with a common frequency modulator, or means employed to modulate the acoustical beam with respect to a fixed frequency. During combat, friendly forces would be equipped with a reference generator to provide aural demodulation of the projected signal, thereby yielding an intelligible beat signal while enemy personnel would be rendered partially deaf by the projected signal as well as being unable to perceive any intelligence transmitted in the form of a modulated beat signal (US Patent No. 3.566.347)." What this says simply is that at-a-distance personal communication could be achieved by one's own forces while simultaneously denying it to adversaries using a wireless pulse-modulated signal.
In 1992, another patent described: "A silent communications system in which nonaural carriers, in the very low or very high audio frequency range or in the adjacent ultrasonic frequency spectrum, are amplitude or frequency modulated with the desired intelligence and propagated acoustically or vibrationally, for inducement into the brain, typically through the use of loudspeakers, earphones or piezoelectric transducers (US Patent No. 5.159.703)." This device had limited practicality in that it required that the person be in contact or close proximity to the sending device. When examined together, each of these patents are seen to be discrete steps toward a new weapons system.
Later, in 1996 came the development of "A wireless communication system undetectable by radio frequency methods for converting audio signals, including human voice, to electronic signals in the ultrasonic frequency range, transmitting the ultrasonic signal by means of acoustic pressure waves across a carrier medium, including gases, liquids, or solids, and reconverting the ultrasonic acoustical pressure waves back to the original audio signal (US Patent No. 5.539705)." Although this was meant to be used with both receiving and sending hardware, what was determined were the modulation methods for transferring the signal. Wireless electronic telepathy had been invented.
The real work was yet to be made public in the form of patents. However, the military claims in the arena were starting to surface. What was known from experience was that patents were being held back by the government and confiscated by the military. When this intellectual property is seized the inventors are given a choice – work for the government or you cannot continue your research on or even talk about the invention under a national security order. Those who do not cooperate have their work effectively shut down.

Chapter 186 Arvin Was Really a Cunning Boy
Another maid poured wine into two goblets.
"Please have a seat, Miss Si." Fabian, like a gentleman, pulled out a chair for Angela.
Angela looked at Fabian indifferently and asked, "Didn't you say you needed a favor?"
"Definitely!" Fabian laughed. "I invited several chefs over, and I'm afraid I can't finish all of these dishes, so I invited you to help me."
Help him eat? With a candlelight table setting? ? And the red roses? ? ?
... Was Angela a fool to not know what Fabian's intentions were? Of course, she wasn't.
"Where's your girlfriend?" Angela asked. "Is she coming? I don't want to be a third wheel." She pretended to look for his girlfriend.
Angela regretted coming here with him. She should have asked what Fabian wanted before she agreed.
"Of course, you won't be!" Fabian added, "And I don't have a girlfriend. This feast is only for the two of us."
Only for him and for her? "I don't think it's appropriate..." Angela smiled dryly. She was in a relationship with Arvin, but she was having a romantic dinner with another man alone. It definitely didn't look right!
Fabian pressed his hands on her shoulders and pushed her back on her chair. Then, he sat on the other, opposite her.
"The man who is rumored to be with you is currently out of the country. Now, can't you spare your old friend a bit of time?"
He was implying that her relationship with Arvin was only a rumor.
And what did he mean by "old friend"? They had only known each other for a few months! Angela was embarrassed to be with this pretentious "gentleman".
But all the dishes had been served, so it was too late for Angela to leave.
Well, it was only a dinner... It was nothing more than that. Surely, Arvin wouldn't get angry. Yes. That's it!
She pick
When her boyfriend betrayed her, all light and joy was gone from Cherry's life. Deserted, bereft of hope, she married a man that she had barely met, but she had never expected him to be her ex-boyfriend's uncle.
Cherry thought that she had finally found her happiness, but she had no idea about the dark secrets that were bound to unfold and haunt her forever...
Fabian glared at Angela. Finally he asked, "You are so afraid of Arvin, but aren't you afraid of me?"
"Not at all, " Angela smiled, "I have had dinner with you."
Huh! What she meant was she had had dinner with him, so he couldn't possibly get angry at her.
Fabian could do nothing but shake his head and force a smile, saying, "Tell me when you get home!"
"Got it! Sleep early. Bye-bye!" Angela was relieved as she went out of the gate with her purse.
A brand new supercar was waiting for her at the gate. Kent was standing beside the car.
Seeing that Angela and Fabian had come out, he approached Angela and politely said, "Please get in, Miss Si."
Then, he opened the rear door for Angela.
Fabian smiled thinly when he saw the car. He remembered it was the same car that exposed the relationship between Angela and Arvin.
'Arvin was really a cunning boy... No... A cunning man, who asked Kent to drive a two-billion car here to mock me.' Fabian thought bitterly.
Angela rolled down the window and waved to him, saying, "Thanks for dinner. Sleep early."
"Goodbye!" Seeing the car drove off hurriedly, Fabian rubbed his chin, absorbed in thought.

The latest from the folks at cartonLAB (previously here, here, & here) is their one-third of the Mustang Gallery's three-part exhibit installation Diagrama de Venn (Venn Diagram)—in Alicante, Spain—which consists of a cumulative and collaborative process between three groups of artists: cartonLAB, street artist Rosh, and Erre Gálvez. Each artist will take their turn inhabiting the gallery space with a work that intervenes, interacts, and adds to, the previous artist's installation, each in their own unique style. In addition, for each installation, the public was (and will be) enlisted to help with the production and installation aspects.
cartonLAB, along with the help of graphic and package design students, among others, made giant cardboard box people, climbing the gallery walls, lying on the gallery floor, as well as sitting and flying through the space. You can see in the bottom two photos Rosh's work that followed; spray-painting some of the boxes and reconfiguring them into piles and graffitied walls. We'll have to wait and see what Erre Gálvez will come up with toward the end of the month with his typographic(?) take.
I really like the collaborative concept behind Diagrama Venn. It's got a bit of a Layer Tennis feel, only in 3D.

It's that time of year again – the time of hearty, cozy feasts with plates full of deliciously sweet side dishes. One of my favorite side dishes is green beans. They're nutritious, low in calories and easy to pair well with almost anything.
Green beans benefit your cardiovascular system and your colon, decreasing the risk of heart disease and colon cancer. The high fiber content benefits your digestive system and in each bite you will find vitamins A, C, K, B6 and folic acid + calcium, silicon, iron, manganese, potassium, and copper.
This recipe takes a sweet approach and combines green beans with sweet peppers, ginger, and pomegranate seeds. A deliciously colorful side that blends a number of different tastes to create something unique that pairs well with everything else on your plate. The best part? There are less than 8 ingredients and it's done in 30 minutes.
If you try this dish, take a picture and share it so I can see!

Home News Politics Court: Donatus Nwankpa remains sacked as Abia APC chairman
Court: Donatus Nwankpa remains sacked as Abia APC chairman
Chigozie Igwe
An Abia State High Court Thursday affirmed its earlier order sacking Hon. Donatus Nwankpa as the state chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), saying that Emmanuel Ndukwe remains the authentic chairman of the party in Abia.
The APC has been mired in leadership crisis with two factions claiming supremacy. The faction that has Nwankpa as chairman is backed by the former governor of Abia, Chief Orji Uzor Kalu, while the faction led by Dr Ndukwe has the blessing of Chief Ikechi Emenike, a chieftain of APC.
Nwankpa had gone to the court presided over by Justice Collinton Okoroafor seeking extension of time to vacate the court order issued on March 8, 2018, which restrained him from parading himself as the Abia APC chairman. The then national chairman of the party, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, was also restrained from recognising Nwankpa as chairman.
But Nwankpa did not obey the court order, which he described as "kangaroo court order and a nullity", only to go back to the same court with an application seeking to set aside the restraining order.
In his ruling, Justice Okoroafor said that the application filed for the vacation of the court order was incompetent and a nullity. He condemned the statement credited to Nwankpa in a newspaper report describing a court of competent jurisdiction as a kangaroo court and its order as a nullity.
"It is irresponsible, reprehensible, and an attempt to ridicule the court, whittle down its power," he said, warning that no man can be allowed to bring the court to disrepute.
The learned judge noted that the failure of the defendants/applicants to appeal the court order of March 8, 2018 has made it to stand and all parties must abide by the order.
Nwankpa had through his counsel, Perfect Okorie, argued in his application that he was not aware of the court order. According to him, he was not served the court processes before the order was made and that he only became aware of the originating motion on March 28, 2018 when the restraining order was pasted at the party secretariat.
However, the court dismissed the claim, saying that it was "riddled with contradictions" since it was evident that the court bailiff had served the defendants/applicants through the clerk, Amaka Obiageli, in the party secretariat.
Justice Okoroafor held that having flouted a court order in contempt, it was not inconceivable that the defendants/applicants would come to the same court to seek an extension of time to vacate the order they had disregarded.
He awarded N200,000 cost to Nwankpa and others and adjourned the matter to September 26, 2016 during which the court would hear the application by the defendants/applicants to transfer the case to another court.
In his reaction to the ruling, the lead counsel to Ndukwe, Chief Godwin Chionye, said that the dismissal of Nwankpa's application has nullified his pretence that he was not served the court order.

Raemelton Polo Club T-Shirt
About 100 years ago the intersection of Marion and Millsboro was considered to be in the middle of nowhere: the boonies, the back-country, the bush, the backwoods, the hinterlands (get it?). Upon this unspoiled land Frank Black, the founder of Ohio Brass, built his country estate, the Raemelton Farm. Named after the town in Ireland from which his father came, Raemelton soon grew to include a proper estate house, a dairy farm, and a riding arena and stables. The riding arena was completed in the 1930s and the Raemelton Riding Club --aka Polo Club-- soon began to organize polo matches for clubs from around Ohio. Regular matches would include Sunday afternoon teas to allow for socializing, the sipping of some giggle juice, and perhaps the futherance of a summer liaison (or two).
The Raemelton Polo Club T-Shirt attempts to commemorate that golden age. With a muted, sepia-like pallet, this t-shirt is readily coordinated with a Pimm's Cooler OR a Savoy Daisy. Printed on a heather colored Hanes Nano-T, "so light and soft, you'll fall in love with this T-shirt in a nano-second."

Q: AngularJS: extend input directive I was wondering, if it is possible, to extend Angular's input directive? I want to attach some listeners to all input fields on a page. I think you can decorate existing modules with $provide.decorate, but I have no idea how to do this with a directive (and more precisely the input directive).
So, can anyone push me in the right direction? Some examples?
EDIT
Here is my directive that I have so far:
angular.module('onFocusBlur').
directive('onFocusBlur', ["$rootScope", function($rootScope) {
  return {
    restrict: "A",
    link: function(scope, elem, attrs) {
        elem.bind('focus',function() {
          scope.$apply(function() {
            $rootScope[attrs.onFocusBlur] = true;
          });
        });
        elem.bind('blur',function() {
          scope.$apply(function() {
            $rootScope[attrs.onFocusBlur] = false;
          });
        });
    }
  };
}]);

In my view, I can add this to an input field like this:
<input type="email" ng-model="email" on-focus-blur="repositionNavBar">

The downside is, that for every input field, I have to attach this listener manually in my code. Therefore, it would be useful, to alter the existing input directive, to include this listeners.

A: See answer to this question. They talk about a couple different options to extend a directive from using $provide to making a directive with the same name.
Also, this link explains a few techniques (under "Extending Directives"): https://github.com/angular/angular.js/wiki/Understanding-Directives

A: Here's a short gist of how you could decorate the built in Angular input directive, with $provide.decorator as you yourself suggested.
app.config(function ($provide) {

  // Suffix is "Directive" for decorating directives.
  // $delegate refers to the original directive definition.
  $provide.decorator('inputDirective', function ($delegate) {

    // When decorating a directive, $delegate is an array containing
    // all of the directives of the same name.
    // We're interested in the first in this case.
    var directive = $delegate[0];

    // Store a reference to the original directive linking function.
    var link = directive.link;

    // Hook into the compile phase of the directive.
    directive.compile = function () {

      // The function returned by compile is your new link function.
      // Or 'postLink', to be exact.
      return function (scope, el, attrs) {

        // Run the original link function.
        link.apply(this, arguments);

        // Your new listener function
        function listener (e) {
          console.log(e);
        }

        // Set up your listener(s).
        el.bind('blur', listener);
        el.bind('focus', listener);
      };
    };

    // Return the decorated original ($delegate).
    return $delegate;
  });

});

Benefits of this approach, as I see it:

*

*It's more DRY than adding another directive to augment behaviour.

*It is an actual extension of third-party behaviour.

*For the most part, you don't need to know about the internal implementation of the directive (or service, for that matter) that you are decorating.

I'd recommend you take a look at this article, that goes in-depth on decorating directives. The article covers extending not just linking phases, but controllers and pre-linking DOM manipulation aswell. A very good read!

A: You can easily extend any directive - including the input directive.  Here is a quick example of adding a class to a directive.
