We've received lots of mail from readers on our recent column on Gary Keyes’ beautiful 427 Dana '68 SS/RS Camaro reproduction, and I thank all who have written. Most readers love the history of these "non-production" 427 Camaros, which were first introduced as a "dealer swap" in 1967 by Dana in Los Angeles and then followed by Yenko Chevrolet in Canonsburg, Pa.

As a manager, an understanding of the true value of having diversity within your department can greatly enhance your team's effectiveness. As a result, it can also greatly enhance your professional career. When I consider diversity, I like to think of it from a number of perspectives, each of which is equally important to the success, creativity, productivity, and overall effectiveness of the team. These diversity types include, but are not limited to, gender, ethnic background, religion, age, stage of life, personality type, education level, personal strengths and personal weaknesses.

Who hasn’t been on the way home from the umpteenth carpool drop off and a hard day’s work, only to realize that dinner hasn’t crossed their mind all day? In a pinch, both financially and when you’re short on time, there’s nothing better than a rotisserie chicken. Here are a few of my all-time favorite last minute recipes that all begin with one shredded little chicken.
