The federal government has gone to court to shut down a Corona-based operation described as a “shake-down debt collection enterprise” that has “unjustly” collected more than $9.4 million in a little more than two years’ operation — with many of its alleged victims actually owing nothing to anyone.

Collectors speaking English and Spanish called people nationwide and falsely represented themselves as process servers, lawyers or legal office staff and claimed the people who picked up the phone were facing a lawsuit over an unpaid debt.

Podium Finish for FAR Husqvarna's Jason Thomas at Powerline Park GNCC

It was no surprise to see Jason Thomas and his TXC250 take the early lead in the XC2 class on his FAR Husqvarna at the Power Line Park GNCC in Ohio. But it was unexpected when he became firmly stuck in a mud hole on the first lap and spent a full two minutes trying to free his bike from the mud.

Thomas put his head down and charged to eighth place by the end of the first lap, and was steadily gaining ground. The FAR team's pit strategy allowed Thomas to only pit once throughout the race, and helped him push all the way back up to a podium position. Thomas had closed to within one minute of second place, but ran out of time and had to settle for third on the day.

Hand signals were used, with audience members signaling if they wished to speak, had a point of order or wanted a speaker to wrap up his or her speech in a more timely manner.

I rarely go to the Inland Empire to eat. But since Ed works out in Corona, I decided to drive up there and have lunch with him. Even with mixed reviews on Yelp, we decided to give The Hot Dog Shoppe a chance. I had to use the pictures I found on my Iphone. I thought I downloaded them before I deleted them from my camera!

The Hot Dog Shoppe claims to serve gourmet hot dogs and specialty sausages along with side orders such as sweet potato fries or onion rings. Names like "The Lasorda" or "Sleeping Alone" adorned their "Customer Suggestions" menu. While on their regular menu it had basic hot dogs, brats and sausages. There were way too many to choose from. I was overwhelmed with all the choices that was offered. Quite honestly, I was too tired to even go through all the options so I quickly perused the items and chose the corn dog, Mac n' Cheese dog and onion rings.

Every Thursday night for a few hours a corner of Corona comes alive with the sounds of motorcycles and riders having fun. This fun takes place at the Lucky Greek located at 2490 Wardlow Road it is very easy to get to just off the 91 Freeway at Serfas Club Drive exit. The Bike night is hosted by Heart-N-Soul mc, they take care of the parking for motorcycles, welcome all the riders and conduct the free raffle for all the riders, every rider gets a free arms length of tickets. Because of it location you will find riders coming in from Orange and Los Angeles County and well as those from the Inland Empire.
