Worlds Greatest Competitive Eater, Kobayashi, and T.H.E.M.s Neil Kozarsky the Not-So-Odd Couple
Marlton, NJ (PRWEB) May 16, 2012

The President of T.H.E.M., Neil Kozarsky, often travels the globe far and wide in search of innovative packaging technologies to introduce to the American marketplace. That mission resulted in over a hundred trips to Japan and a comfort level communicating and doing business with the Japanese. Thats why Neil got a call when a good friend in the sports/entertainment industry wanted to book the legendary, Japan-based Takeru Kobayashi for a competitive eating event in Philadelphia back in 2011. A first meeting tied to that project went well, additional support was lent to the event, and before long, Neil had forged an unlikely friendship with the global celebrity, Kobayashi. This alliance, developed amongst two men from seemingly polar opposite backgrounds, materialized because both share similar values a commitment to preparation, performance and excellence. An otherwise unthinkable friendship has blossomed between the dynamic CEO and the competitive eating sensation because both possess an unending desire for achievement. They each believe in their noteworthy endeavors, hold themselves to the highest standards and endure at the top of their respective fields.

The indomitable Japanese competitive eater held the acclaimed title of Coney Island Nathans Hot Dog eating champion for six consecutive years. But he is no one-trick pony. His illustrious career has been validated by becoming the champion of devouring several other diverse foods, including wings, meatballs, hamburgers, pasta and Twinkies. He rose to prominence on July 4, 2001, when he ate 50 hot dogs and shattered the previous Nathans Coney Island hot-dog eating contest record of 25. He is truly a beacon for the sport with a ferocious will to win.

Both Kozarsky and Kobayashi understand the importance of preparation and hard work. The battle is won before Kozarsky steps in the innovative packaging arena or Kobayashi steps towards the competitive dinner table. Throughout the year and especially prior to competition, Kobayashi maintains a rigorous training regimen that involves grueling weight training. This pays dividends by increasing his metabolism and keeping him in tip-top shape to perform at the highest level during competitions. His disciplined training and highly specific bulking diet has resulted in dominating victories over his competitors. This uncompromising approach is paralleled by T.H.E.M.s propensity for reinventing global packaging trends and continually evolving as a leading edge company. It resulted in their introduction of the stick pack to the North American market. Kobayashi is constantly searching for different food competitions just as Neil and T.H.E.M. continue to seek new technologies and forms of packaging to bring to consumers and product manufacturers. The parallels are considerable and this unlikely friendship validates the notion that hard work and strong preparation can be ingredients for success in any field, from innovative packaging to competitive eating.

I was really impressed by Kobayashis desire to succeed no matter what the challenge, Kozarsky said. He really shares my worldview that innovation, a strong work-ethic, determination and mental resolve all pay off in the end. Weve worked hard to achieve the type of success were having at T.H.E.M. and the commitment to excellence that Kobayashi embodies really resonated with me.

T.H.E.M. is approaching 40 years of providing proven packaging system solutions to the worlds leading consumer goods companies. Kobayashi has more than a decade of experience dominating competitive eating. Neither T.H.E.M nor Kobayashi subscribe to the theory of doing one thing great instead of doing a lot of things good. They think its possible to be great in many aspects and theyve exemplified this by diversifying their skill sets and achieving the highest form of excellence in a wide-ranging group of areas in their respective professions. T.H.E.M. has been a leader in packaging trends, innovative formats and complementary support technologies for an array of international markets. Kobayashi has been victorious in the mecca of competitive eating at the Coney Island Nathans hot dog eating contest, but has also been successful consuming fourteen Twinkies in a minute; 58 bratwurst sausages in 10 minutes; and 41 lobster rolls in 10 minutes.

It was terrific to be able to see how packaging is really made, Kobayashi said. So many fonts, images and shapes the imagination that goes into creating something that looks good and is also packaged to be most minimal and useful, is exactly what I aspire to be when I package myself to eat.

They are both innovators. T.H.E.M. helped create a revolutionary packaging innovation that combines the best features of traditional paperboard cartons with the convenience and functionality of zippered pouch packaging, the Zipbox. To expedite the eating process, Kobayashi pioneered the Solomon method where he breaks each hot dog in two, dips them into water and then stuffs both halves in his mouth.

Kobayashi is often the smallest amongst competitors in a sport where size was once perceived as a prerequisite for success. He is listed at 5 feet, 8 inches and 128 pounds, but has bested competition like former 350 pound NFL star William The Refrigerator Perry. T.H.E.M., a medium-sized company, has a similar track record of defying the odds and rising above the strongest of competitors. Theres a misconception that the giant corporations in the packaging world are the only ones eligible to achieve major success, but this is not necessarily true and T.H.E.M. has proved it.

Both T.H.E.M. and Kobayashi believe their best work has yet to come. They will continue to work hard, prepare rigorously and compete with more determination than before, to achieve peak success in their respective fields.

How can I lose 10-15 pounds of fat and not bulk up on muscle?
Like a little bit of of muscle, but not a lot. I am going on vacation in July for a whole month. Do you think I can lose it all in a month, before the school year. If so, how? No pills! I'm 13!

Answer by David
Just do some cardio, and avoid weights. Try to burn 500 calories a day, and stay away from fried foods and sweets. You should be set by then.

Autistic Adults and Vacation Planning
Roanoke, VA (PRWEB) May 18, 2012

For many autistic adults, travel can be difficult. Changes in routine, sensory issues, and unfamiliar social situations can lead to discomfort and anxiety. A stereotype about autistic adults is that we do not like traveling, says Autism After 16 writer Zosia Zaks. In order to travel, dont you have to leave the familiarity of home? Wont it be too hard to cope with new environments, new routines, and new people? The reality is that some of us on the spectrum like to travel and some of us dont. Whether you cant wait for vacationor youre being dragged along on oneplanning can help. Zaks' article, Dreaming of Summer VacationMaybe, offers insights for autistic adults and their families to make summer adventures a bit less stressful.

Zaks, who was diagnosed with autism at age 31, is also the parent of two daughters on the autism spectrum. She is a Certified Rehabilitation Counselor, and author of the book Life and Love: Positive Strategies for Autistic Adults. Zaks resides in Maryland, serves on the boards of several local and national autism organizations and was appointed to the Maryland Commission on Autism. She is one of five writers at Autism After 16 who is autistic; most other contributors have family members with autism.

The website Autism After 16 was developed to address issues facing the growing population of autistic adults and their families. We purposely hired writers with different experiences, different voices, says editor Merope Pavlides. Our goal is to reach out to families and provide information and analysis on a variety of issues from a variety of perspectives. Everything from education to finances to building better community relationships. What many of our articles have in common, however, is a focus on thoughtful planning. Even when thinking about summer vacation!

Zaks also notes the value of good information. Families planning for adulthood now have the benefit of lots of information we didnt have when I was growing up, she says. Instead of fumbling in the dark, we can help autistic adults reach their potential and obtain a good quality of life.

Could CPR be done on some one with lots of head trauma?
Of course it could be but is it worth it?

Answer by Rafael
What do you mean by "worth it"? If CPR gives the patient any increased chance of survival, regardless of how minuscule, then yes it is obviously worth it.

Financial Press: Anatolia Energy - Next Major Shale Oil Boom?
Calgary, AB (PRWEB) May 16, 2012

(Financial Press) Calgary, Alberta-based oil exploration company Anatolia Energy is developing an exciting oil shale play in Turkey known as the Dadas Shale.

The amount of oil and sheer potential of the Dadas is simply massive. TPAO, Turkeys national energy company, has an estimated 110 billion barrels of original oil in place in the Diyarbakir Basin where Anatolias Bismil and Sinan licences are located.

The Dadas Shale play is similar to other major shale discoveries like the Barnett and Eagle Ford in the United States. Oil produced in Turkey, however, receives much more beneficial pricing in the global oil markets than its North American counterparts. Oil from Turkey and the surrounding regions is priced at Brent Crude pricing which has recently been averaging $ 20 more per barrel than the West Texas Intermediate benchmark.

The potential of the Dadas is already starting to attract attention from major oil companies including ExxonMobil and Royal Dutch Shell.

Turkey is certainly opening its doors, as the country will gladly welcome any foreign investment that can help unlock the countrys resources and help build its oil and gas industry. Reuters reported in March 2012 that TPAO signed an accord in November for Europe's largest energy company Shell to look for oil and gas in the Mediterranean Sea and onshore southeastern Turkey and said other major international firms were interested in exploring nearby.

Anatolia Energy is right in the heart of the major oil producing Anatolia Basin and holds a large land position of well over 700,000 gross acres with its Turkish partner, Calik Enerji. The company drilled its first well in the area in early 2012 with the results having revealed a lot about the true potential of the Dadas Shale.

Anatolias core analysis from the well revealed evidence of the Dadas Shale, which is also referred to as a super source rock. Thats a term used to describe the source of oil often in shale form - of oil underneath some of the largest oil producing regions in the world.

The Dadas Shale is suspected to be the original geological source for the oil reserves in place in over 400 oil fields across North Africa across the Middle East.

Recent discoveries of similar oil shales have been made in the Barnett and Eagle Ford Shales in the southern United States in and around Texas. Both of those discoveries have launched sizable oil booms of their own and have attracted significant investment capital.

The initial excitement of this shale play has been confirmed through TPAOs recent disclosure of light oil or condensate being tested from the Dadas Shale in a drillstem test in their Ciksor-3 well (TPAO Exploration Department, March 21, 2012, TUROGE Conference, Ankara Turkey). This flow test was conducted in a vertical well from an unstimulated interval in the Dadas Shale and reportedly flowed 19 barrels of 60

For thousands of U.S. job seekers who wonder why they dont get contacted for interviews, LiveCareer, a top-rated resume building website, offers some answers.

While these resume blunders might seem extreme, the truth is that hiring managers and recruiters receive hundreds of resumes loaded with critical errors every day.

The expert resume advice in LiveCareers infographic will guarantee a resume sparks interest rather than laughs:

After years of trying to become pregnant without success, Rachel Dawson and her husband Thomas felt their dreams had finally come true the day they brought home their newly adopted twin babies. Though the lawyer Baron Bell who arranged for the surrogate mother charged a hefty six-figure fee, one glance into the eyes of their precious children told them it was all worth it. Until the birth mother reappeared, first demanding more money, then the twins themselves. Suddenly Baron Bell was nowhere to be found, and the Dawsons were once again childless, heartbroken and nearly destitute. When the case finds its way to the offices of high-profile attorney Lizzie Fox, she can't wait to take down the so-called 'Mr. Wonderful'. And she knows she'll have all the help she needs as it's just the kind of crime that really gets the Sisterhood's adrenalin flowing.

I love buying houses with attached, buildable lots. These deals can be very lucrative. It's like going to a 2-for-1 sale. Sometimes you can pick up both properties for the price of one. This is one of my favorite top secrets because it just makes good business sense to buy into these deals when the price is right. Recently, I purchased a house with two buildable lots for an amazing $ 65,000. Here is the good part. The lots were buildable and each of them had their own separate folio numbers. The house alone was a 3 bedroom, 1 bath, 1,100 square foot home that only needed $ 15,000 in repairs and had an After Repaired Value of $ 120,000. Here is how I structured this deal:

1) Contracted Separately: I contracted all the properties separately. Therefore, I wrote up three contracts. I contracted the house for the $ 65,000 and the two additional lots for $ 1.00 apiece.

2) Borrowed Money: I called my private lender and told him I needed to borrow $ 65,000 to buy the house. He loaned me 70% of the After Repaired Value of $ 120,000, which was $ 84,000. After the $ 8,400 closing cost (Estimated at 10%), the loan was for $ 75,600.

3) Closing Instructions: I informed my title agent to close all three deals at one time. The loan covered the price to buy the three properties with the remaining $ 10,600 going into an escrow account for repairs.

The mortgage from my lender was placed against the house and not the two adjacent lots. Therefore, I owned the two lots "Free and Clear." I immediately put the two lots back on the market for $ 20,000 per lot. I settled on a builder who purchased both lots from me for $ 35,000. We closed the deal only 3 weeks after I had bought the house and lots. Soon afterwards, I rehabbed and sold the house for another gain of $ 16,500. My total profits on this deal were $ 51,500. The Buying a House with an Attached Buildable Lot Secret is a great way to make money (by selling the lots) before the principal house is rehabbed or resold. There are tons of these deals out there - you've just got to find them.

However, when you buy a house with a lot, you need to make sure that the lot is a buildable lot. If the lot is not buildable, you will have to be approved for a variance. The variance process can be quite lengthy (8-12 weeks). You have to request a hearing, normally with the City Council, to argue your case for why you should be allowed to build on the lot. It is up to the City Council to approve or disapprove your request. Personally, if I know the lot attached to the house is not a buildable lot, I look towards the house to make a profit. If the numbers don't work for me buying and selling the house for a profit, I don't buy the house. I don't like taking a gamble trying to convince the council to give me a variance.

In addition, if the properties don't have separate folio numbers, you may have to pay an attorney to have the lot separated, which can cost you upwards of $ 1,000 (depending on where you live). It normally takes 2-4 weeks to have this done. Separating the lot from the house is much less risky than trying to get a variance. I have gone this route on many occasions and so far I have always been able to separate the lot and sell the lot for a profit.

I have a lot of passion for nature and the environment.. but I can't seem to find a good career choice to go into. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I'm also afraid of not making enough money to support myself. I'm a pretty smart person though, and have enough drive to become a doctor in the medical field if I wanted, but I just want to follow my passion instead of money.

When I go on the Internet I am always looking for a great deal. I look at different motorsports sites, check out Ebay, and look at classified ad sites. I am all over the web. Sometimes when I surf the web I stumble upon a great site and plunk down my credit card and then it happens.... The final screen of an online shopping cart page tells me that the site is experiencing problems and they will get back to me. I check my bank statement and sure enough... they have already taken the money out of my bank account.

The web page says... "There was a problem with your order, someone will contact you" and then my mind races. I go to contact them by email and the email bounces back to my inbox and says recipient unknown. I call the phone numbers too and the number comes up disconnected. This has happened to me a lot online and if you are honest it has happened to you too at least once.

There are a lot of shady dealers online and every once in a while you find one. The best thing to do is go to the bank and discontinue your bank card. Of course this is a major pain in the patoot because you have to cancel all of your bank information and change the way you do business. I order a lot of kawasaki oem parts on the web for my ATV and motorcycle when I came across this unfortunate scenario. There are a lot of web sites out there that are either phoney or are just out there to scam the public. Either way the consumer puts himself at considerable risk when he deals with any online merchant for sure.

That is just one of the scams you can run into when you order Kawasaki parts or any products online. You will want to make sure that the company you deal with is going to be there for you. You will want to make sure that the dealer you are dealing with is reputable and has a working phone number. You will also want to make sure that the emails are functional before you hand over any credit card information. This is a very important thing to remember.

The other thing I had to deal with when ordering motorsports parts online was getting hold of a live sales person on the other side of the phone. I wanted to make sure too that the person could speak coherent English. This is very important to remember. Unless you like baby babble and can understand pseudo words. I like to be able to understand someone fully especially when they have my credit card information or sensitive bank info. This is very important to remember. Be careful out there.

Californias Dubious Distinction as Worst Business Climate is Bad News for Southern California Manufacturers but Western Hydrostatics Sets Record Breaking Pace in 2012
Riverside, CA (PRWEB) May 14, 2012

With strong numbers in manufacturing, rising costs in Chinas labor markets and recent White House policies in favor of the Made in America blueprint for job creation, the media has brought a lot of attention to a possible manufacturing renaissance on the horizon. But the Department of Labors disappointing jobs numbers in April and disappointing first quarter 2012 financials for hydraulic OEMs like Sauer Danfoss, whose new orders declined by 20 percent compared to first quarter 2011, the resurgence in manufacturing appears further away than many had predicted. And its looking even farther for manufacturers in the Golden State with California ranking last in the CEO Business Climate survey released on May 2nd, 2012.

"California seems to be doing everything possible to drive business from the state, said J.P. Donlon, editor of Chief Executive Magazine. CEOs surveyed attributed California's poor ranking to high state taxes and overly stringent regulations. Companies that moved some or all of their operations out of state in 2011 increased 26% over the previous year. Given that Southern California is the nation's largest manufacturing economy, placing last among business climates is a worrisome sign for local manufacturers in Los Angeles and surrounding counties. According to a report from the Institute of Applied Research at California State University San Bernardino, the national Purchasing Managers Index beat analysts expectations in April while the Inland Empire Index declined sharply from 60.8 in March to to 52.9.

One bright spot in local manufacturing news is Riverside headquartered Western Hydrostatics (http://www.weshyd.com) - a hydraulic parts distribution and repair center for Bosch Rexroth and Sauer Danfoss. When compared to prior year sales, the companys sales increases have averaged 17% for the past 22 months. Since the start of the 2012 calendar year, Western Hydrostatics has recorded their 3rd record breaking sales month and is now predicting the companys highest sales and profitability numbers since opening for business in 1986.

One of the key success factors for Western Hydrostatics hydraulic service and hydraulic parts business was transitioning from a local, regional customer base to a global marketplace. Just two years ago, the majority of the companys customers were in California, Arizona and Nevada but forward-thinking leadership under the companys CEO, Starke Scott, triggered investments in not only inventory and personnel but also a manufacturing marketing system developed by Los Angeles-based RK Global (http://www.rkglobal.biz). Within two and a half years of partnering with RK Global, Western Hydrostatics has expanded its customer base to 18 countries spanning every continent with the exception of Antarctica. A real game changer for the company, expanding into emerging foreign markets has created exponential growth opportunities.

Torrance headquartered California Manufacturing Technology Consulting (CMTC) recently selected Western Hydrostatics for the Made in California program, which recognizes the contributions of manufacturers in the region and features those companies that have contributed to the growth of the economy, are involved in continuous improvement, strive to create jobs, and grow their businesses. Understanding the global economics of demand and supply in a flat world and recognizing the importance of innovation, Western Hydrostatics is part of a new breed of industrial companies who are hurdling the obstacles facing local businesses and leading a third industrial revolution aimed at bringing manufacturing jobs back to America and Southern California.

Turkey Temperature Goes From Hot To Roasting
(PRWEB UK) 12 May 2012

According to colordarcy.com The reciprocity principle was a major stumbling block for investors from those countries that did not have the kind of open relationship with Turkey which would allow them to freely invest in property within its borders.

Investors from countries which did not have a reciprocity agreement with Turkey have long been forced to jump through hoops to allow them to invest in its lucrative property market according to colordarcy.com.

Loxley McKenzie Managing Director of Colordarcy said "This included a large number of our investor clients from the Middle East who needed to set up a company in Turkey and then invest in property using that company.

Trying to get through all this red tape was frustrating and went against our view that everything connected with investing in property should be an easy, hassle free experience.

Not only that, as we like to say at Colordarcy, property should pay for itself. Unfortunately with an extra

If you never turn off your laptop and you use it a lot for 3 years and it's slow no matter what you do to it
do you think it's time for a new one? I've had my Dell Inspiron 1150 for 3 years and recently I've noticed that no matter what I do to it it's still kinda slow. I have done everything you can imagine to speed it up..it works for a while but after a few days I end up so frustrated I do a clean re-install of Windows XP. Could it be so slow because I'm always on it and the heat has damaged some parts? I mean it's not like extremely slow...but for streaming video sometimes it stutters and no matter how many...virus checks, defrags, disk cleanups, spyware removals, ccleaner, ad-awares, deleting browser cookies and history, turning off screensavers and wallpapers I do...it's slow still slow.,,,you name it i've done it!...would upgrading from 768 ram to 1gb do the trick? or should I just forget it and get a brand new pc?

Answer by Don M
Same problem, HP Pavilion zd7300 series. All I have noticed is that because I leave it on all the time, the fan runs constantly, and it's very slow. Have tried tuning god knows what, no difference. My wife has same exact model, not a prblem (she doesn't leave it on all the time). I rather imagine the processor is getting overheated, and to keep the processor cool, it's stepping down the speed. However, you probably won't see that if you go into Control Panel / System and try to look up the processor speed.

That's all I can think of.

Luxury Watches, Ruby Necklaces, Rare Gold Coins in Government Auctions May 12 Sale
Tehachapi, CA (PRWEB) May 10, 2012

Throughout history rubies have been celebrated as one of the most prized gemstones. Rubies have long been the gemstone most closely associated with royalty and as such have become a gemstone desired for both its aesthetic popularity and monetary value . A truly spectacular ruby specimen is the 74.44CT Ruby & 5.89CT Diamond Necklace up for auction. The piece contains a total of 29 natural rubies each chevron shaped, surrounded by diamonds. Each ruby measures approximately 9 x 7mm. The necklace has an estimated retail value of $ 41,350 and currently high bid of $ 425.

Additional fine jewelry highlights include a 14kt 4.16CT Tanzanite 4.40CT Diamond Necklace, valued at $ 21,000-$ 41,000; and a number of luxury watches including a Stainless Steel Rolex Oyster Perpetual Daytona 1992 Watch. The watch is a used item in excellent working condition. Used Rolex watches of this quality are popular due mostly in part to the ability of the timepiece to retain its investment value.

A major draw in this auction is the sizable quantity of gold coins to be offered. Already creating a stir, is an 1872-CC $ 20 Liberty Head gold coin, also known as the 1872-CC Double Eagle was minted in Carson City, Nevada. Numismatists agree, the Carson City mint showed greater skill in striking this particular coin than in its two earlier Double Eagle issues.

Article by Jack Johnson

Soichiro Honda's interest was motor vehicles, but, paradoxically, he developed Honda motorcycles. He started learning the mechanical facet of automobiles while still a teeenager, working in a repair shop, and he loved racing and fast driving. He owned both a Harley Davidson along with an Indian, and he was in fact quite experienced at motorcycle riding.

Despite the fact that he already held a motor vehicle repair shop in 1928, it was only in 1948, when he was 41 years old, that Soichiro Honda started the Honda Motor Company. He paid a lot of attention to quality, because he believed that to compete he needed well-designed products that were made well. In spite of motorcycle profits being on an upward trend in 1953, the economic depression in Japan almost wrecked his company. He kept his manufacturing facility up and running so as to avoid laying off people, even though only a small number of motorcycles were being bought. It ended up to be the correct decision, because in 1958 the most successful motorcycle ever before, the C100 Super Cub, was launched. The bike was versatile and affordable, within anybody's reach, driven by a 4-stroke motor with a 3-speed transmission.

People novices at motorcycles found it easy to use, and it soon found a big following amongst the women commuters. Honda attained the position of the largest manufacture of motorcycles by 1959, mainly because of the success of this bike. This directed them to plan to start broadening around the world. They thought that if they could initially capture the United States market, it might start the ball rolling. Approval by the American consumer would signify acceptance by the rest of the world. The original store offering Honda motorcycles opened in June of 1959, in Los Angeles, and by 1960, successful dealerships, selling Honda's, were more than 75.

By making accessible half the financing for two important organizations, Honda showed their commitment to the community and won a huge amount of public trust for their company. These were the Motorcycle Industry Council, and the Motorcycle Safety Council, both highly appreciated by devotees of motorcycles. In the 70's the Honda company kept developing new models that people just couldn't resist, and they stayed number one in the industry. They were soon regarded as the quickest bikes in the world, flowing from their winning of over 70 global races in 1973. Additional bike companies were quick to leap on the bandwagon, when, in 1975, touring bikes became fashionable as well as comfortable, following the introduction of the GL1000 Gold Wing.

Revolutionary motorcycles, appealing to different cultures, have continued to be manufactured by Honda. Annually Honda donate a whole lot of motorcycles to what they regard as worthwhile causes, and this helps retain the respect and fondness with which they are regarded. Honda still encourage biking safety through the courses they sponsor and by helping bikers have access to the most up-to-date information available. Honda have developed a track record of dependability over the many years they have been available. The success they already have attained with some of the big risks they have taken has resulted in Honda growing to be a virtual emperor of motorcycles.

My baby is suddenly moving around a lot is this normal at 41 weeks?
The baby hasn't really been moving as much as he used to the past couple of weeks, still within a safe amount though I've been doing kick counts and everything, I assume it's because he's running out of room. But since last night he's moving non stop, does this mean I'm about to go into labor or is he just moving?

Answer by LacyA
It could mean that. When I was pregnant with my son, the day before I had him, I noticed that he was moving around a lot and that night, I went into labor. Congratulations and good luck!

Waddle Lot of Laughs By Mccarthy, Rebecca

Ask any serious golfer what they think of Mizuno irons and you will more than likely get some variation of this: ‘Top quality forged irons with buttery soft feel'. In the years before big money contracts, Mizuno dominated the major Tours in iron usage with its MP range of irons. The MP-14, MP-29 and MP-33 are all rightly heralded as classic muscleback blades and the more recent award winning MP-32 with its cut muscle technology has proved a huge success.

Mizuno say that they only release new equipment when they are happy that they have something that is an improvement on its predecessor. For them to be releasing 4 irons sets at once indicates that some serious work has been going on in the offices of the Research and Development department. With the MX-100 and MX-200 aimed at the game improvement market and the MP-52 being aimed at the mid to low handicapper, Bag Chatter got to test the newest in Mizuno's long line of better player irons, the MP-62 irons.

Of all the more recent Mizuno irons, few have been held in higher regard than the MP-33.

The classic muscleback blade produced an enviable combination of performance and feel that was adored by the best players in the world. That said, the uptake on Tour of the cavity back MP-60 irons showed that even the best players in the world appreciate a little more forgiveness. Mizuno have obviously taken this on-board, combined the principles behind both and created the dual-muscle cavity back that is the MP-62. When testing the prototype irons with Tour players Mizuno taped up the back of the club so that the players could not tell whether they were playing blades or cavity backs – the MP-62 is the result of the iron that dominated the players preferred choice.

The MP-62 irons  is described as a Dual Muscle by Mizuno.

Unlike a simple muscleback blade where the muscle section is straight across the back, the muscleback on the MP-62 is separated across both the cavity and the perimeter. Unlike many of the recent Mizuno irons, there is no sign of the cut-muscle technology that made the MP-32 so stunning. Mizuno go on to describe this iron as a Tour-ready design that came out from numerous prototypes from the Tour workshop. With minimal offset, a centrally located center of gravity and the same sole grind as one of the finest iron strikers in the game, Luke Donald, this is a club aimed at the better player – one who does not need any help controlling their shot pattern but instead is looking to work the ball, both left and right and high and low.

Appearance

An exceptionally handsome set of irons. With the small face and double nickel chrome plated finish at address the MP-62 is almost impossible to distinguish from a blade. The long irons have a classic box toe and sit tight behind the ball with a small but reassuring amount of offset. With the shorter irons the high toe is still present which makes aligning the ball very simple and the transition from hosel to face is as unobtrusive as you could wish for and the top line is super sleek. All things considered, this verges into a new iron category – the cavity blade, where the club is completely blade like at address but still offers the benefits of a cavity back.

Feel

With the research performed by Mizuno into vibration and frequency analysis – where the pitch, volume, length of sound generated by each head was analyzed – a clean strike with these delivers a unbelievably pure sensation that is frighteningly addictive. The Grain-Flow forged heads ring like a bell when you flush one out of the middle. The feel is amazingly solid and harks back far more to the MP-33 than the MP-32 or MP-60 that this iron replaces in the Mizuno line-up. Combined with that trademark buttery soft feel that all Mizuno's have and you have 8 pieces of heaven.

Thins and shots missed towards the toe or heel are dealt with surprisingly well for such a blade-like club with little or no unwanted vibration, but hit this club too high on the clubface and you are well and truly told that you got it wrong.

Performance

While it is clearly a cavity back, the amount of perimeter weighting is fairly small so while it is more forgiving than a pure blade like the MP-67 or MP-33, it is closer to them than a cavity back like the MP-52. With the minimal offset and the sheer mass of the dual muscle behind the ball, you would expect the ball flight to be mid-low and you are not disappointed. The natural ball flight of this club is one that will pierce through any wind, resisting ballooning or any tendency to be blown off-course. The marketing info contained the phrase "Neutral left / right shotmaker's bias" which has confused some people into thinking that there is a bias towards playing a fade. This is incorrect as just a few shots will show you that there is no shot bias and that what the marketing blurb is saying is that the neutral COG allows you to move the ball both left and right with equal ease. The same few shots will also show you that these are definitely shape makers clubs. These are a paper-width less workable than the MP-67 blades – but only a paper-width – but the cavity and peripheral weighting makes them far more forgiving in comparison.

As mentioned earlier, the shape of the sole is directly taken from Luke Donald's personal grind – having both a rolling leading edge and a rolled trailing edge to ensure consistent turf interaction – and has an aggressive camber from back to front and from heel to toe, allowing both diggers and pickers to play their natural shots.

Distance is also very good and in combination with the Project X shafts fitted in the review set we were able to really get the ball out there with very little extra effort. This excellent distance was not at the expense of any consistency as the dual muscle setup really came into its own when flag hunting. If you put the same swing on the club, you are able to predict exactly what the ball is going to do: shot height, shape and spin levels are all served on a plate and it's just a question of what you want to do.

Conclusion

Everything about the MP-62 irons  is 5-10% better than I expected, and I expected them to be seriously good. Mizuno's determination to only release clubs when they feel they are improvements on what came before has paid off and the high level of customization and the wide array of shaft options mean there is no excuse for not getting the setup that is just right for you. While these are aimed at the better player, the dual muscle weighting makes these more accessible than a blade for almost exactly the same incredible level of performance but it does take a consistent iron player to get the most out of these. Mizuno's stated aim for these clubs was to produce a Tour ready golf club and they absolutely have succeeded. Fans of blades and Mizuno irons in general will love these and I'm sure that they will also gather a few converts along the way.

Mizuno at their absolute best.

Blacknight Sponsors Campaign To Raise Cybersecurity Awareness
Carlow, Ireland (PRWEB) May 10, 2012

Leading Irish domain registrar and hosting company Blacknight is partnering with IRISSCERT (The Irish Reporting & Information Security Service) to spread the word on the importance of password security.

IRISSCERT, a non-profit company that assists Irish businesses with Internet security issues, is launching the "Brush Up Your Security" campaign to promote awareness on the secure use of passwords amongst teenagers and young adults by urging them to treat their passwords as they would treat their toothbrush.

Blacknight, who work to educate their customers and the public at large on how to protect themselves online, are particularly invested in spreading the word on the importance of secure passwords.

We are proud to be involved in IRISSCERTs campaign to educate Irish youth on password protection, Michele Neylon of Blacknight states. Cybercrime is a real threat and it is important for users to be alert and take preventative measures to protect their sensitive information.

IRISSCERT are urging users to choose passwords wisely by using them regularly, changing them often and never sharing them with anyone. To reinforce the message, IRISSCERT will be distributing 20,000 free toothbrushes and leaflets to highlight how best to use passwords securely over the coming week to schools and universities.

Prior to the campaign IRISSCERT ran a survey amongst 120 teenagers to determine how they use passwords. They found that 62% of those surveyed do not use a password on their smartphone and that 36% of those surveyed share passwords with close friends or relatives.

56% of those surveyed never change their passwords and 13% only change their passwords when their accounts have been hacked or hijacked.

Neylon continues: Password protection is a relatively painless way to save yourself a lot of trouble down the road. If you are the only person who has access to your password you dramatically reduce the chances of becoming a victim of cybercrime. Create a password that only you would know that is easy for you to remember and dont share it with anyone.

Brian Honan of the IRISS explains: Without the support of sponsors like Blacknight these initiatives would not be possible. The campaign is funded fully by the EC but without Blacknights support IRISSCERT would not be around to run the campaign.
