Match elbow and hip for solid contact
Posted on 05. Apr, 2012 by admin.
The quality of your impact position is determined by the relationship between two body parts: your trail elbow and hip. The trail elbow determines the path of the clubhead to the ball, so if your elbow matches up evenly with your hip, as in the first photo below, your hands can get back in front of your body in time for impact.

Easter Sunday, more than just chocolate candies and Easter Bunnies
Posted on 05. Apr, 2012 by admin.
Little Ricky Najera, age 4, likes Easter because of candy, colored eggs, cascarones (egg shells filled with confetti and cracked open on someone’s head), and Easter baskets containing toys, more candy, and many more goodies. “It’s just like Christmas, only the presents are smaller,” said Little Ricky, who prefers to be called Big Ricky. But, he doesn’t really know the true meaning of Easter. His three-year-old sister, Victoria, knows even less. To her, Easter means dressing up in new clothes and birthdays. Who’s birthday, Victoria? But, she only shrugs that she doesn’t know. But, oh, yes, she does know about the Easter Bunny. He’s the one who leaves her a basket filled with surprises.

On a Mission for an Angel
Posted on 28. Mar, 2012 by admin.
The little boy in these photos has had a heart condition since before he was born. He wasn’t supposed to have lived for all his 7 years. He has had many complications from his condition, and come back from it all. He is listed as day-to-day. But, none of that is important. What is important is that he is a fighter, and he has his own will. This Sunday, when he was being granted wishes by “Reach for a Star” and the Mission Riders M/C, the weather turned ugly. 60 mph winds, dusty conditions, low visibility. I asked Angel’s mom if she had any apprehensions about letting him ride in this weather. “I allowed him to ride because HE wanted to. I’ll let him live his life however he wants to.”

‘Slippery slope’?
Posted on 22. Mar, 2012 by admin.
Dale Earnhardt Jr. says folks just can’t keep a secret in the NASCAR garage these days. It’s not his fellow drivers who are being the blabbermouths, so to speak, it’s NASCAR officials and their new policies – and proposed ones – for sharing information among race teams and fans, too.

Don Benito Juarez and Abraham Lincoln: A Powerful, Ethical Tandem
Posted on 22. Mar, 2012 by admin.
Webster’s Dictionary defines ethics as: “pertaining to or dealing with morals or the principles of morality; pertaining to right and wrong in conduct; to be moral, upright, honest, righteous and virtuous” – it seems, however, that too many political and business leaders in El Paso and throughout the United States are ignoring the ethical standards set by some of our greatest world leaders.

Going Green
Posted on 15. Mar, 2012 by admin.
Green in all its many shades — from mossy ferns to menthol mints to ocean teals — is a lucky color to wear this spring. One of nature’s favorite hues, the greens this year are balanced with cool pastels. Pantone, the color expert, predicts that we will be drinking up an icy “margarita” for our spring wardrobes and for fall 2012 — celebrate by wearing a warm rich ultramarine — a favorite on the fashion runways for the next season.
One of the freshest ways to go a little green this spring is to wear the cooler hues from head to toe, according to fashion designer Rebecca Minkoff. “I like tones of one color,” she says, “like the spectrum of a bright green with a soft fading jade. It’s a feeling like fragile vintage colors, and it is interesting to place these into modern shapes.”

‘Volcano’
Posted on 15. Mar, 2012 by admin.
Many a race fan, upon stepping into the giant stadium-like seating area at Bristol Motor Speedway for the first time, has marveled at seeing a NASCAR race track in the space typically occupied by a grassed football gridiron. On the other hand, drivers entering from the lower side of the grandstands see the place from a totally different perspective.
