Level 5 Motorsports Enjoys a Much Deserved Break And A Chance To Focus On Its New Cars

By Katherine Waters

The group from Level 5 Motorsports is having a couple of weeks off following a jam-packed 2011 season before they close off the year at the Six Hours of Zhuhai in November. The vacation is a break in the excitement surrounding the team's winning season that involved multiple podium appearances, two American Le Mans Series drivers' championships and enough cars that you almost need two hands to count them. Owner-driver Scott Tucker and co-driver Christophe Bouchut, who won the drivers' championships, will again join teammates Marino Franchitti, Luis Diaz and Joao Barbosa in China in just 3 weeks while they seek the vice championship in Intercontinental Le Mans Cup competition.

Zhuhai will probably be another opportunity to test the limits of Level 5's new cars, two HPD ARX-01g cost-capped prototypes with modified fuel injectors for increased speed. The cars have had relatively little track time, but the laps they have completed are promising. Tucker drove one of the team's entries to victory at American Le Mans Series Monterey at Mazda Laguna Seca Raceway in September, and also the team ran both entries in Petit Le Mans, where one of the cars took first place in the LMP2 class while the other nabbed the pole position during testing. As much excitement as there has been this season surrounding Level 5's achievements, there hasn't been as much within the team as far as overcoming major problems. The new cars, which Tucker decided to switch to in July, haven't given the team much to complain about.

"I feel like I'm starting to sound like a broken record," said Team Manager David Stone at Petit Le Mans earlier this month. "But in a positive way. We're not having any problems with the cars; the guys are doing great. It's hard to pinpoint any challenges because everything's gone so incredibly well."

By "so incredibly well," Stone implies that the cars have run virtually flawlessly. With the exception of some very minor adjustments for the drivers and small maintenance measures, the cars came out of the box in pristine condition. Adding the increased performance of the cars to the Level 5 drivers' depth of talent, experience and skill has made Level 5 a formidable contender in the field. After a win by nearly 8 laps at Petit Le Mans, the team garnered some valuable ILMC points and think the vice championship is within reach. But equally important is getting the cars more track time. With every added lap and mile, the drivers become better oriented with the new prototypes.

"We're looking forward to the opportunity to get more time in these cars," Tucker said. "So far, they've run great, but relatively speaking, they haven't been tested too extensively. We're looking forward to getting better acquainted with the cars and finding out more about them so Zhuhai will be a good race. The entire team has worked hard."

Believe it or not, the team worked into the early hours of the morning during Petit Le Mans to finish the second Level 5 entry, which had just been shipped to the states from the building floor in London. When the prototype wasn't finished before Petit testing week began, it was shipped to Road Atlanta where the Level 5 team finished the build. Completing the finishing touches on the second car while simultaneously practicing and testing for Petit Le Mans wasn't an easy task for the mechanics, engineers and drivers, but the first-place finish is a testament to the quality of the entire Level 5 team. The whirlwind of Petit Le Mans week no doubt made these off-weeks even more welcome, as the team plays catch-up with their new cars with their eyes on a strong performance at Zhuhai.

Eurodisney Paris: Celebrity/Disney Lookalikes

By Claire Collins

If you're spending the day at Eurodisney Paris and a lot of the characters seem strangely familiar, it might not just be because they're famous in the world of Disney. There are a lot of Disney faces which bear uncanny resemblances to well known celebrities. Check out some of the similar names and faces:

Nicole Scherzinger will be familiar for her role as the lead Pussycat Doll and former girlfriend of Lewis Hamilton, but you might also think of her as Pochahontas' long lost twin. Disney's Native American heroine from the 1995 film shares the long dark locks, warm complexion and beautiful eyes as the stunning singer. Wonder if Lewis Hamilton ever saw the similarities when they were going out?

They might wear rather different outfits, but Katy Perry and Snow White could be sisters, with their uncanny similarities. Jet black hair, milky white complexion and wide doe eyes make pop star Katy Perry top of the list of women who could play Snow White in real life. She'd just have to tone down the outfits.

You'd have to be pretty lucky to stumble across Justin Bieber at Eurodisney Paris. If there aren't thousands of screaming fans and walls of bodyguards nearby, it's more likely you've spotted Peter Pan. Their swishy hair, button noses and hang-dog expressions make them very similar. And while many teenage fans would like to hope that Bieber stayed eternally young and youthful, only time will tell if he'll be a real life Peter Pan.

Unlike Katy Perry and Nicole Sherzinger, Kim Kardashian does share a few wardrobe staples with her Disney doppelganger, Princess Jasmine. Harem pants and crop tops are totally in style right now, something which both Kim and Jasmine incorporate into their wardrobes on a regular basis. Although, unlike Princess Jasmine, Kim Kardashian doesn't feel the need to go down to the market in disguise, as she doesn't mind the media attention!

Sterling Silver Bridesmaid Gifts Say Your Wedding Party Is Special

By Mark Ferguson

The individuals who support brides on their wedding day are very special people. Therefore, it is important to find a special way to say 'thank you.' One of the best options is to give sterling silver bridesmaid gifts that are elegant, fashionable, and extremely affordable. These charming and beautiful gifts come in a variety of styles and designs and stand the test of time.

Most women will tell you that a preferred gift is a piece of jewelry. Today, there are a vast array of options regardless of whether a bride is traditional, classic, elegant, or somewhere in-between. A monogrammed heart charm tag on a precious metal bracelet, Tiffany inspired beads, or a pair of Swarovski crystals beautifully set into silver ear studs will enhance their ensembles and help them feel special.

Much will depend on the attire selected for the big day. It should accentuate the beauty of the wearer while complimenting the bride's look. Those with a more classic style often prefer simplicity such as that found in bracelets and necklaces that have simple charms that reflect an element of the occasion or may inspire good luck. When monogrammed, they are considered even that much more special.

Sterling silver jewellery makes a great bridesmaid gift idea even during the most financially difficult times. This is because these treasures come in various grades, styles, and designs that will fit even the most restrictive budgets. One thing to evaluate when selecting lower grade choices, however, is the sensitivity of wearers who may require a higher grade product.

To add sparkle and elegance to any affair, silver paired with Swarovski crystals are appropriate for bridesmaids and brides alike. Some of the most popular are those that are handcrafted and include colors from the wedding. For instance, chandelier earrings are perfect for an evening affair and will add that 'wow' factors so many brides are seeking in their wedding today.

For many brides, afternoon weddings have many benefits. Although they frequently seek a low-key type of look, it doesn't mean the jewelry cannot be spectacular. Silver embedded with teardrop pearls look fabulous in earrings, necklaces, and bracelets alike. When attendants find them in a matching jewelry box that has been engraved with a special message, it is even more special.

If baubles are not preferred, pictures frames are another great option especially when they contain a photo of your attendant and yourself during a special occasion. When engraved with a special message, they can be a treasured remembrance of just how special these individuals are to you. These are especially appropriate when simplistic designs are selected so longer messages can be added.

The most important thing to remember is that sterling silver bridesmaid gifts provide the perfect expression for those who are serving as a valuable member of the wedding party. Close friends make the wedding day special and finding ways to say 'thank you' can often be frustrating. With the plethora of choices in this fine metal on the market today, however, it has never been easier to find a way to accomplish this goal while taking their breath away.

Level 5 Means Taking It To The Next Level

By Glenn Patton

November 2011 - Five years ago, Scott Tucker was a private equity investor with a passion for race cars. Now, as he prepares to take on the American Le Mans Series Petit Le Mans championship race at Road Atlanta, he does so with a slew of victories from the 2011 season that have already secured the Level 5 Motorsports team with the Le Mans Prototype 2 class championship and positioned them at No. 2 in the Intercontinental Le Mans Cup series.

For Tucker, this year's season represents the next level of motorsports, a fitting embodiment of the very idea behind Level 5 Motorsports. "Five is my favorite number," Tucker said. "It was always my number in all the sports I played through high school and college."

But it wasn't until later in life that the number five really represented success for Tucker; as he continued his private equity investment career, he read a book on management that described a "level 5 candidate" as someone who could take a company to the next level.

Ironically, it wasn't until even later in life that the number five meant top-of-the-podium finishes and international success for Tucker. And incidentally, he might have been the very "level 5" person who made his motorsports company a success. He began the company in 2008, when he was just two years into his professional racing career at age 44. Although he didn't have much experience, he had enough talent to fill a professional driver's seat and a wealth of knowledge about the professional racing industry. He quickly joined up with Christophe Bouchut, one of the most successful endurance racers in the world, who became his mentor and co-driver. From there, Tucker has made careful, precise decisions regarding who drives his team's cars and what cars they drive.

"That's the whole genesis behind Level 5 [Motorsports], that everybody on our team, were trying to push it to the next level," Tucker said. "We only hire and empower people within our organization who are 'level 5' candidates."

"It really came out of a management book, but it's the blood that runs through our team," he said.

Tucker has changed cars frequently, his most recent acquisition being an HPD ARX-01g cost-capped chassis in the LMP2 class. Last weekend, he drove a brand new Porsche 996 Turbo for the Sports Car Club of America's National Championship Runoffs and won. The HPD ARX-01g made a stellar debut at the American Le Mans Series Monterey earlier this month at Mazda Laguna Seca Raceway. Following his theme, Tucker scours the industry for the next greatest car with the most potential to deliver another level of horsepower and control. He ordered the first two ARX-01g models off the line.

He also fills his team roster with the most experienced, proven quality drivers in the world, but there's also a strategic element. When Tucker was developing himself as a next-level driver, he relied heavily on Bouchut to be his lead driver, scoring points while Tucker took advantage of the practice time in race situations. Now, he'll enter Petit Le Mans with Luis Diaz and Marino Franchitti, both LMP2 veterans with experience in HPD ARX models.

It might have been a bit of leftover high school superstition, or it might have been a management book-or it might have been Scott Tucker's natural inclination to push the boundaries of his abilities, but the meaning behind Level 5 Motorsports has never been as true as in the 2011 season.

A Rap Artists and Their Journey Into the Industry

By Farah Fan

Turning into one of the very best rap artists begin with an aspiration. By making an objective to get one of the respected music artists in the industry, then it will be a guide for you to finish it in full. You may be in it to execute, but there are upsides to becoming a rapper. A recent article in Forbes checks its own annual Forbes 400, a list of the richest people in America, and queries about who would be the first hip-hop star to hit the billion dollar mark. According to the article, there are 5 contenders: Sean "Diddy" Combs, Jay-Z, Dr. Dre, Bryan "Birdman" Williams, and 50 Cent.

You simply need a way to contact a music industry, or at least someone who can get you a discussion with one. If this chance does indeed show up, don't forget to look to yourself. Look like your music, but do not work with a look that will make your audience refuse from the first look. Remember that a company CEO or someone with a high seat will not want to waste ten minutes of his time on someone wearing rags or tattooed all over the place. If you do have tattoos, maybe go in a suit or something dress worthy.

Just keep in mind - look for an industry that you can get in touch with, maybe online. There are a million out there. If you really have talent, a good agent will pick you up in virtually no time. You just have to spread the word. Throw a concert all about you. Make it loud and long. Make it asking for someone to walk up o the stage and sign you a record deal. So all in all, contact, spread the word, and be presentable. Remember that you have talent. Self-confidence will get you the whole way if you have the talent to go with it.

For one you have to cease making lame excuses if you are hungry you have to move for it; it is not about the quantity of what you have, it is about the standard. You have to work with what you got, and use the haters as fuel. You have heard the accounts of success of artist, and how they got famous. Like how Biggie met Puffy, how Jay-Z met Biggie, and then how Kanye met Jay-Z. But what you never hear is how they got to be as excellent as they are. What makes one person's album popular and relevant, and the other like some CD coaster.

Rap artists can't refuse that whites were starting to have an effect on the rap music that had initially begun in the black neighborhood. But this is to be predicted whenever an art form commences to gain popularity with mainstream white America. The same task can happen with an art form that is popular with mainstream white America that all of a sudden becomes popular in a minority community. College students need to be aware of this fact and come to grips with this. But, if you want an impact, just be who you are.

About the Author:

Hip hop music was first invented in the nineteen seventies. To become one of the popular hip hop artists one must sing well, have the right attitude, and more importantly know how to dance. Becoming a one of the greates rap artists is not an easy job. It certainly takes a great deal of effort, support, and perseverance.
