ECR Powerhouse Engine shop at Earnhardt-Childress Racing hits its stride

Posted on 26. Feb, 2010 by admin.

If there’s any group that has emerged as a leader two races into the 2010 Sprint Cup season, it’s the engine builders at Earnhardt-Childress Racing.
That engine shop is the product of a merger of the old engine crew at Dale Earnhardt Inc. and the engine shop at Richard Childress Racing. They dominated at Daytona, winning the Budweiser Shootout with Kevin Harvick, the DRIVE4COPD Nationwide Series race with Tony Stewart and the Daytona 500 with Jamie McMurray, who drives for Earnhardt Ganassi Racing, which itself is a result of a merger between Teresa Earnhardt and Chip Ganassi.

POWER in your arms

Posted on 26. Feb, 2010 by admin.

Your target arm (left for right-handers) is the radius of your swing, and it controls the position of your clubface. At address, the target arm rests on top of the chest, and your goal during the swing is to maintain this arm-to-chest connection.
Your arms swing upward during the backswing and down from the top of your swing. Think of it as a surrender to gravity that drops your arms into the proper position to initiate the return to the ball. This is why it’s called the “downswing” and not the “around swing.”

Become Judge, Jury and Executioner in ‘Dante’s Inferno’

Posted on 26. Feb, 2010 by admin.

2010 is the year of the action game. More specifically, action games that feature over-the-top “God of War”-style combat against ghastly creatures. As the third one released in only two months, “Dante’s Inferno” had the most potential, but alas, the action is forgettable and the story pales in comparison to the source material.

Slimming Down for Spring

Posted on 26. Feb, 2010 by admin.

Does this make me look fat? Who hasn’t uttered those words on one or two occasions? (Especially, if you’re standing in front of those dressing-room mirrors on steroids!) No matter what your size — or your age — we all want to look our best.

Read NOW: The Power of Positive Thinking

Posted on 25. Feb, 2010 by admin.

Beth Mendoza believes strongly in the power of positive thinking. So strongly, that, when she realized that too many school children were struggling to read, she decided to get involved. “I saw that there was a great need. A friend asked me to tutor her daughter, who had problems reading. I was reluctant at first, but, when I saw the need, I decided, yes, let’s do it.”

Jamie McMurray

Posted on 19. Feb, 2010 by admin.

Jamie McMurray, who was left without a ride when Roush Fenway was forced to drop from five to four teams to meet NASCAR’s maximum number of teams per owner, languished in limbo for a time before securing a job driving the No.1 Chevrolet for Earnhardt Ganassi Racing with Felix Sabates, the team he left when he moved to Roush.
And on Sunday he gave the Ganassi team its biggest moment ever in NASCAR by surging to the front and scoring a win in the Great American Race, the 52nd annual Daytona 500.

Golf – The shoulders

Posted on 19. Feb, 2010 by admin.

Things you should know about your shoulders:
1. The shoulder is one of the most sophisticated and complicated joints in the body with the largest range of motion.
2. The wide range of motion comes at the expense of joint stability. With the odd angles and high stresses it’s easy to wear out your shoulders, so here’s an exercise to protect them:

He’s Doing it His Way: Harry Connick Jr.

Posted on 19. Feb, 2010 by admin.

At 42, Harry Connick, Jr., hasn’t come close to doing it all. But he’s done more than enough to create confusion among some of his fans, as befits a veteran film and TV actor, Tony Award-nominated Broadway musical star and multiple Grammy-winning singer, songwriter, pianist and bandleader with album sales of more than 25 million over the past two decades.

Pet Facts – Cropping, docking still commonly done

Posted on 19. Feb, 2010 by admin.

Of the more than 150 breeds recognized by the American Kennel Club, 13 commonly get ear crops, 48 have docked tails, and 11 have both cropping and docking. Ear crops seem more likely to disappear as a common practice sooner, as fewer pet owners choose to have their puppies’ ears sliced into an upright posture, and fewer veterinarians will perform the procedure.
