You probably never heard of an electrical connector, but behind the scenes, it's doing amazing things – providing ignition on a rocket, helping to get winery grapes harvested on time, and providing the power to light up the Mardi Gras parade. So when your job entails ensuring that your $1.3 million dollar Mardi Gras float lights up in the nighttime parade — when you only have the one opportunity to shine — your electrical connectors are, to say the least, critical.

Mit dem Golf GTI fing vor mehr als 30 Jahren alles an. Beim diesjährigen GTI-Treffen am Wörthersee gab es einen Ausblick in die Zukunft, wie der Ur-Vater aller sportlichen Kompakten vielleicht einmal aussehen könnte. Von echten Rennautos haben sich die Designer und Ingenieure inspirieren lassen. Heraus gekommen ist ein GTI, der schon im Stand kein Hehl daraus macht, was seine Bestimmung ist. In 3,9 Sekunden ist Tempo 100 erreicht, seine Höchstgeschwindigkeit liegt bei über 300 km/h. Möglich macht das ein Bi-Turbo V6 mit 503 PS. Auch VW Nutzfahrzeuge hat ein entsprechendes Showcar für das GTI-Treffen auf 22 Zoll-Räder gestellt. Die Basis bildet der Amarok. Passend zum bulligen Outfit arbeitet unter der Haube ein V6 TDI mit 3-Liter Hubraum und erzeugt satte 200 kW (272 PS). Der Hingucker bei den Fans war natürlich der Polo R mit dem VW erfolgreich in der Rallye-Weltmeisterschaft unterwegs ist. Für die meisten Besucher wohl die einzige Chance dem erfolgreichen Rallyeauto einmal zum Greifen nah zu sein. Die VW-Azubis haben wie in jedem Jahr auch ihre automobilen Träume Wirklichkeit werden lassen. Mit Projekten wie dem Golf GTI Cabriolet Austria bietet Volkswagen seinen besten Auszubildenden die Möglichkeit, ihr Fachwissen zu erweitern.
Thomas McNamara, otherwise known as Macky, has been making art for as long as he can remember, winning sculpting contests as early as junior high. At 11, his father got him a lead soldier-making kit. That’s when art was introduced and it quickly became evident that it was to be his purpose in life. At 11 he could melt the lead in a small pot, pour it into molds, and paint the little figurines. These soldiers were often given to his parent’s friends. The response was wild - the adults all loved them!! As a boy this was real validation for a child surrounded by intimidating, book-smart people. The art carried Macky into all the art classes at Cardinal Newman high school. His love for lead figure painting continued to grow during this period. It was the MTV generation, which Macky believes also had a huge impact on him . . . Since then, there have been many great moments, including showcasing Macky's art on two episodes of MTV's “PUNK'd”, which featured Ashlee Simpson and Hugh Jackman.
Mutt™ has been the label for Macky's passion since 1997. Just recently, Mutt donated a customized 3-foot skateboard to the Rush foundation, a charity created to send kids to art school. It was a huge honor for Macky to be able to be a part of such a worthy charity. Courtesy of Thomas McNamara on MOLI.com
