![]() As we walked deeper into the warehouse Sara explained to me (a Porsche and Salvage novice) how their business worked. Dismantler went about their daily business of reclaiming flawless parts from less-than-flawless Porsches. Across the yard was a large, super clean, warehouse where the team at L.A. ![]() Sara was kind enough to let me take some pictures as she gave me a tour of their facilities.Īs I passed through the gates and entered into the salvage yard I was greeted by dozens of late model Porsches who were resting peacefully on three story racks in their final stage of life, each with an obvious fatal wound that had led them to this place. Dismantler who gave me a first hand look at Porsche salvation. (a stretch of curvy pavement that I will most certainly visit in the giveaway Porsche), and dropped in on Sara at L.A. Last Friday I drove up the 210 from my home in Pasadena, hung a left at La Tuna Canyon Rd. They are a business that prides itself on being one of the cleanest and most environmentally friendly salvage facilities in the industry. They have grown to be an international business that sends its parts around the globe and offers customer service in Armenian, Arabic, Turkish, Russian, Farsi, French, Korean, Spanish, Taiwanese, and Mandarin. They sell reconditioned, refurbished, new and used Porsche parts for 911, 930, 964, 993, 996, 986 Boxster, Carrera 2, C2S, C4, C4S, GT, GT2, GT3, RS, RSR, Roadster, Speedster and Turbo for Coupe, Cabriolet or Targa body styles 5 or 6 speed, Tiptronic, 2wd or awd transmissions. LA Dismantler specializes in late model (1980 and up) Porsches. Todd and Sara started ‘LA Porsche’ out of their home and 15 years later ‘LA Dismantler Inc.’ has a growing staff of 17+ and a sales volume of $5 million to $10 million a year and are now one of the largest Porsche only salvage facilities in the world. He, like so many of our members on this page, has a fantastic spouse who convinced him to start a business that focused exclusively on Porsches. In the early 90’s, Todd was running KAOS, a Honda and Accura salvage yard in Los Angeles where he began dismantling Porsche as a hobby. With nearly every member of his family being a Porsche driver, it’s as if Todd was born with the brand in his genes. Todd’s love affair with the Porsche brand began at the age of 16, when he first became a Porsche owner (lucky dog). Dismantler was started by husband and wife team Todd and Sara Dakarmen back in 1995. The luminary of these establishments, by far, is the one that specializes in the Porsche brand. Nestled at the bottom of the La Tuna Canyon in Sun Valley, CA is a strip of salvage yards for just about every car on the road. Dismantler’ that I wanted to share it with this community. I was so impressed by what I saw at ‘L.A. Much to my delight, I discovered the close proximity of their business to my house. Thanks Jeremy!Ī few weeks ago I was reading the LA Times business section and came across a cool article about a SoCal couple who transformed their passion for Porsches into a multi million dollar business. He decided to take a little field trip to a local “Porsche” vendor and share what he found there. This post was submitted by Jeremy, one of our readers.

![]() Heading down the stairs on the other side, I’m passed on the second to last step by the girl with the back tattoos. Remind myself I’m near the finish and pick up my feet and pick up the pace!! I caught myself and stumbled again about 100 feet later. ![]() I started catching my shoe on a root (ouch!) then something else. Around mile 24 it seemed like I was tripping over everything. ![]() The stairs going up are railroad ties set into the earth, I took those one at a time instead of two. At the picnic shelter aid station I passed the girl in the blue shirt easily – I guess she really was trying to get rid of me before! I ran my best on the summit loop and during a flat section looked at my time – no chance of making 4 hours but still doing pretty well. At least with a trail race, I dare not look at my GPS, lest I trip over something. Around mile 19 the mile markers stopped for the next 4 miles, thankfully in my opinion-as I start to obsess about the miles. ![]() I set a moderate pace, but was still passing quite a few walkers. The threat of being lapped was over (I made it!). I thanked her for pacing me and stopped to walk, take off my shirt and eat another Gu. Although, I think she was burning the candle from both ends trying to shake me! Towards the end of lap 2, I looked down and saw blood spots. I was feeling awesome letting her pull me along. I came up on one girl in a blue shirt around mile 5 where I felt like was really in tune with her running – I didn’t look at the trail, just at the way she was running and I didn’t hit anything and we were cruising – I think we were hitting 8 minute miles. The first couple made me a little uncomfortable because I couldn’t see the trail around them. The second lap the race thinned out considerably and I was finding myself behind some really fantastic runners. I didn’t have any really bad landings in the first lap but I felt like I was taking a beating when I had to really pick up the pace to pass people. With my race goal in mind, I started taking a few riskier passes. I ended up behind Blanca for a couple of miles until the top of the Summit loop where the trail gradually turns downhill, there aren’t many roots and rocks so I could open it up. I mostly sat in behind people, passing when there was a good opportunity. I passed a few people on the half mile section of road and we headed onto the trail. With that in mind, I decided my race goal was “don’t get lapped by the marathon leader.” Still, I’m not the best trail runner so I took my usual position at the end of the starting lineup. Charles West was working registration and warned I wasn’t allowed to start early this time (Wrightsville Beach allowed people who declared a 5+ hour finish time start 30 minutes early), Ben Dillon who was running Marathon #32, Billy, Anjela, Charles and Blanca, Jim and Jade, Elizabeth, Bobby, Cindy, and Benjamin.Īs they say don’t set your expectations too high and you won’t be disappointed. I arrived early, got my number and chip pinned on and said hi to a lot of Raleigh friends. At the end of opening day, I signed up for the marathon. The marathon takes much longer to fill up. The fall races have two options, a 10 mile race and a full marathon. When the registration for the Medoc Fall Races opened, I figured I would stand my and let the dust and malay settle down and if there were still spots left at the end of the day, I would sign up. Signed SF Sterling Brown (two years, $6 million).Signed SF Reggie Bullock (three years, $30 million, half-guaranteed third year).Re-signed C Boban Marjanovic (two years, $7 million).Re-signed SG Tim Hardaway (four years, $77 million). ![]() Traded SG Josh Richardson to Boston for C Moses Brown.Parted ways with coach Rick Carlisle hired Jason Kidd.Fired team president Donnie Nelson hired Nico Harrison.It was a wild offseason, even with the roster staying fairly stable. With Doncic’s superior ability to generate catch-and-shoot 3s for teammates, Dallas has to do better here. ![]() Two other key players, Dorian Finney-Smith and Maxi Kleber, were more accurate but didn’t launch in volume because they needed time and space to get their shot away. Doncic led the team in attempts but only made 35.0 percent, while Richardson - brought in as their needed 3-and-D guy - only hit 33.0 percent. making 30-foot bombs, they were a middling-at-best 3-point team. The Mavs were third in 2-point shooting but, even with Porzingis and Tim Hardaway Jr. Perhaps just as surprising, even with Doncic’s brilliance, they only finished ninth at the offensive end. Dallas traded Seth Curry for Josh Richardson before the season to upgrade that area, but Richardson never totally fit. Kristaps Porzingis struggled with defensive mobility and became a popular pick-and-roll target for opposing guards, while the lack of disruptive perimeter defenders left the Mavs 26th in forcing turnovers. The issue that still needs work is the 82 games before that, where the Mavs would ideally get themselves in a position where they’re not playing the Clippers in the first round.ĭallas began the year struggling mightily on defense and never really got it together on that end, finishing 20th in efficiency. ![]() Nonetheless, the series established that Dallas can punch above its regular-season weight in the postseason with Doncic and a cohort of shooters. (Leonard’s awesomeness was also a factor, natch.) That they didn’t, owed mostly to two related factors: the lack of shot-creation options around Luka Doncic, and Doncic himself running out of gas toward the end of games. ![]() Try working with a budget of $3000 or $2500, that way you leave yourself a little wiggle room.

We had a date, but we had to meet the deadline for the pre-order date. None of Gaga's contributions were ultimately featured on the album due to timing issues and creative differences, with Lamar stating: Eight days later, she announced that the song would no longer be released on the announced date and apologized to fans for the delay. ![]() On August 15, 2012, Gaga announced that she had collaborated with Lamar on another song recorded for Good Kid, M.A.A.D City entitled "Partynauseous", and that it would be released on September 6. Recorded for Lamar's second studio album Good Kid, M.A.A.D City (2012), "Bitch, Don't Kill My Vibe" originally featured vocals from American pop musician Lady Gaga. "Bitch, Don't Kill My Vibe" peaked at number 32 on the United States Billboard Hot 100 chart, also reaching the top ten on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and Hot Rap Songs charts. The song's music video, directed by The Lil Homie and OG Mike Mihail, notably ends with an abrupt cut to a black title screen reading "Death to Molly", intended to be a criticism by Lamar of glorification of the drug MDMA in contemporary hip hop music. A remix of "Bitch, Don't Kill My Vibe" featuring American rapper Jay-Z was sent to radio as the album's fifth single on March 21, 2013, with the original version and another remix featuring British singer Emeli Sandé later being released. It was originally intended to be a collaboration with American singer Lady Gaga, but her contributions were ultimately excluded from the final recording due to timing issues. The song, produced by frequent collaborator Sounwave of Top Dawg Entertainment in-house production team Digi+Phonics, heavily samples "Tiden Flyver", by Danish electronic group Boom Clap Bachelors. " Bitch, Don't Kill My Vibe" ( edited for radio as " Trick, Don't Kill My Vibe" or simply " Don't Kill My Vibe"), is a song by American rapper Kendrick Lamar, from his major-label debut studio album Good Kid, M.A.A.D City (2012).

City” comparable to Jigga’s first contribution “Reasonable Doubt” I don’t see why the “No Pressure” MC can’t be that echelon MC. With Lamar’s aspiration not to have a short career but achieve longevity and relevancy like Hov with albums like “Good Kid: M.A.D.D. Picture little old me givin’ a f**k from what a f**k ni**a’s got to say/Ni**a, you’ll never be Jay, never be Nas, never be Snoop nor Dre/You ain’t get killed in Vegas, or in a Suburban/Puff Daddy wasn’t your favorite, so many washed up with detergent/But I don’t dry tears, I just aim at ‘em on purpose like “BLAHW!”/Empty fourteen like “BLAHW!”/Empty out another magazine like “BLAHW!”/Let a young ni**a get by/I kill ‘em all when they tryna kill my vibe/I am the bad, the good guy, the last the ‘hood got/The last that would try to pass a good job/If Shawn’s a black Beatle, I need a 10-second drum solo/B**ch, see you at Woodstock! ![]() Lamar viciously establishes through these bars he’s more than worthy of the buzz and some more Compton hip hop. How about enjoying the fact that Lamar was inspired to write two new verses within 24hrs after hearing Jay and the dude goes IN! Kendrick opens up the 3rd verse continuing where Hov left off with “Between you and me, turn eulogy to urinals” building up to his extra beast mode. Of course you got chirps about how Kendrick murdered Young on this track. Up in the clouds me and my spouse/Rumors on the ground gettin’ too loud/Please turn them s**ts down Can’t hear myself think/Turbulence, s**t, almost spilled my drink/In the White House with with a mink/Runnin’ through that bitch like it’s my house/All up in the hall like a mall/Told you motherf****rs, all I do is ball/No, I don’t ‘member you, I don’t intend to/Empty my memory bank, it’s a million dollars in it, baby, Hilary Swank/Next to Hilary smellin’ like dank/Presidential pardon,name one n***a out there harder than him I’ll wait….(Checks the Hublot lol) He then closes out the verse old school Special Ed style with “I’m the highest, the highest title, numero uno/Kill my vibe, that’s your motherf****n’ funeral.” You can tell Jay is in a very good place right now just flowin’ out love for the game and not as a necessity but giving a little insight on MC royalty still packing heat. ![]() The original was already a banger, the reigning MTV’s #1 Hottest MC In The Game got an ultimate co-sign with the Jigga Man spittin’ on the remix.

To investigate, the researchers recorded a total of 22 giraffes at three European zoos - the Berlin Tierpark, the Copenhagen Zoo in Denmark and the Vienna Zoo. But there's inconclusive evidence for this idea, prompting Stoeger and her colleagues to start recording giraffes in an effort to learn more about the noises they make, and whether those noises are used for communication. ![]() Or maybe giraffes produce sounds in the infrasonic range - much like the rumble of elephants - that are below the threshold of human hearing, she said. "There have been suggestions that the giraffe's iconic long neck makes vocalization physically impossible, due to the difficulty of sustaining the required airflow from lungs to mouth over such a distance," Stoeger told Live Science in an email.

The head is refined, streamlined and equipped with an 18 inch long tongue for even further reach. The neck is supported by powerful muscles and reinforced ligaments which anchor to vertebrae between the shoulder blades, and form a hump where the back and neck meet. While the relatively short back has vertebrae of a median size, the vertebrae of the neck, are stretched to about 11 inches long, They still have the standard 7 neck vertebrae found in most mammals, including us, but they are not only elongated, but also articulate far more than ours. Front and rear legs are about the same length, however, between 5.5 and 6 feet long. Viewed from the side, the giraffes shoulder region is towering, with a highly elongated pectoral girdle which gives the illusion that the front legs are longer than the rear. While the 6 to 8 foot long, 600 pound neck is most obvious, the giraffes entire body is a masterpiece of specialization. Today the giraffe is the tallest animal on Earth, with males topping out at about 18 feet at the tip of the horns (called occicones), and 11 feet at the shoulder.Īlthough no fossil trail exists, it is assumed the giraffe developed its remarkable physique and out-survived its relatives, by reaching for the treetops.Īs taller individuals ate leaves and fruits unavailable to shorter individuals, the giraffe thrived, and became more and more specialized. ![]() “There are a lot of conditions that cause fatigue, but they don’t necessarily make people feel like they’re ready to fall asleep,” said Jennifer Martin, a professor of medicine at the David Geffen School of Medicine at the University of California, Los Angeles, and president of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine. But there are other more easily modifiable factors that could be interfering with the restoration and recovery processes – such as memory consolidation, hormone regulation and emotional regulation or processing – that need to happen during sleep. “If you’re getting the good quantity sleep, the next question is, ‘Am I getting good quality sleep?’”ĭasgupta suggested seeing a sleep specialist, who can check for an underlying or primary sleep disorder.
