Cruz Pedregon's Winners Circle Check from 1989

A drag racing piece of History!

1989 Cruz Pedregon’s Alcohol Dragster Racing Days. His win in Bakersfield CA. 1989.

My brother in law was there and the check given to him after the race that day.

The check was in his garage since then. He (My brother in law) gave me this check on my birthday.

I took this baby to Michael’s Frame Shop. Nice frame with Museum glass will ensure this piece of drag racing history will not be lost.

Go Cruzer! we love ya!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

New footage from Felix Baumgartner's space jump.

Virgin Vapor Gourmet Organic e-Liquid and Electronic Cigarettes

 Incredible new footage of Felix Baumgartner's space jump shows what the daredevil went through during his record-shattering descent from 128,100 feet above the Earth. Cameras on his head, legs and arms captured the entire 23-mile free fall from Baumgartner's dizzying point of view, including the moment an out-of-control spin almost cost him his life. Baumgartner set a world record for longest free fall, breaking the speed of sound during his descent and ultimately reaching a mind boggling velocity of 833.9 mph. More info at NBC News.

Help Someone Quit Smoking - TobaccoFreeCA

  Is There a Smoker in Your Life You Hope Will Quit?
See full story here

Be supportive.

Family and friends are an important source of support and motivation for smokers who are trying to quit. Your support matters in helping your loved one quit tobacco and become healthy. Don't give up on them!

Be patient.

Also, remember that most people try several times before they quit for good, so be patient. If they start smoking again, try not to be disappointed or make them feel guilty. Instead, help them start thinking about trying to quit again.

Be encouraging.

While you cannot make someone quit, your encouragement will be a source of motivation. They may also need other forms of support, such as from a trained specialist. Suggest that they call the California Smokers' Helpline at 1-800-NO BUTTS. The Helpline is a free service that has been proven to double a smoker's chances of quitting for good. ^{1 2} You may also call the Helpline yourself to receive advice on how you can help them quit.

'Amazingly, Smoking Is Even Worse Than We Knew'

Causes diabetes, erectile dysfunction, and more, surgeon general's report finds

By Arden Dier,  Newser Staff

  See full story here. 

(Newser) – Yes, smoking is bad for you, but just how bad might still surprise you. A surgeon general's report out Friday reports that lighting up is scientifically proven to cause diabetes, colorectal and liver cancers, erectile dysfunction, and ectopic pregnancy, the New York Times reports. And more: vision loss, tuberculosis, rheumatoid arthritis, impaired immune function, and, in the children of women who smoke, cleft palates. Smoking does not cause all cases of the aforementioned diseases, notes Dr. Boris D. Lushniak's report, but a portion of the cases only occurred because of smoking. The development comes 50 years after a landmark 1964 report first found smoking caused lung cancer; 30 more reports have followed on the topic in advance of the latest.

The report also notes that exposure to secondhand smoke causes strokes, reports USA Today. America's annual death toll from smoking is 480,000 (that's 37,000 more than prior estimates), per the report, which includes this standout fact: More Americans have died prematurely from smoking than died in all the wars our country has fought. "Amazingly, smoking is even worse than we knew," says the director of Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. "Even after 50 years, we're still finding new ways that smoking maims and kills people." As for the long-term health effects of e-cigarettes, that answer is likely still years off, the Los Angeles Times notes.

Snake & Mongoo$e is based on the true story of Don “the Snake” Prudhomme and Tom “the Mongoose” McEwen. Using a mixture of new and seamlessly intercut historical footage, as well as a wealth of other archival materials including newspaper and magazine clippings, artwork, TV commercials and racing memorabilia, this movie is entertaining and believable. This is not just a movie for fans of drag racing, although they will enjoy it too.

As a matter of fact, the movie I have been most surprised by and most excited about came out today. And although “Snake and Mongoo$e” Read Full Article
