Put them in a new Tacoma, was fairly easy to install, ended up pulling seats to get under them, made it easier.
Install Time: 1-2 hours
Great product. Very happy with shipping and service.
Install Time: Under 30 minutes
Looks good. Unfortunately I did not take into account the aftermarket install of headrest DVD players which is entailing splitting the top seam of the back seat cover and installing Velcro in order to install around the headrest. Also the headrest covers are not usable so when ordering consider everything.
Install Time: 2+ Hours
Great product, quality material.
Install Time: 1-2 hours
Great product! I'm very happy with it!
Install Time: 1-2 hours
Look great and seem to be very durable. Took about an hour to install front and rear covers because I wasn't in a hurry. I am very pleased.
Install Time: 30-60 minutes
About what I expected. Probably will remove the console bottom portion, not a real fan of the way it looks around the cup holders. But the fit is good and tight on the seats and the headrest. Lots of convenient storage on seat backs.
Install Time: Under 30 minutes
My leather was 13 years old so this was a easy remedy. A little tough to get the arm rest covers to seat well but overall it's a good product for the price.
Install Time: 1-2 hours
I am pretty disappointed with the seat covers honestly. For the price and being vehicle specific, they fit very poorly. They are just very loose fitting. The only piece that fit snug was the head rest covers. I've had universal seat covers that fit better. Definitely not worth the money in my opinion.
Install Time: 30-60 minutes
Love the seat covers but didn't get the pouches that was suppose to be included.

In August 2011 Seriously Sofas opened its doors for the first time. They've guest blogged for us a couple of times since then, sharing their journey. Now, 20 months later, they are opening a new, expanded shop with the UK's first FamaLiving concept store – a partnership with Spanish independent upholstery manufacturer, Fama. Here's what they've learned…
Lesson 1. Be Innovative
Seriously Sofas is an independent retail specialist focusing on bespoke UK and customisable European upholstery. We started working with Fama 15 months ago when we wanted to add to our European product range. Fama products are well priced, nicely designed, colourful, flexible and different. We knew we could sell it in the UK. We experimented with colours, fabrics, designs and customisation – something few of their other stockists had asked them to do before
Within 12 months, Fama products became some of our best selling pieces.
Lesson 2. Get Talking
Spanish upholstery manufacturer Fama is an independent owner/managed business, established in 1972. They have developed a reputation for comfortable, stylish furniture. Over the last two and a half years Fama have opened a number of FamaLiving concept stores across Europe and North America.
In January we took the chance to meet up with Fama's owners while visiting the furniture show at Birmingham's NEC. We used the opportunity to closely inspect a wider range of their products. Despite the language differences, we were impressed by their attention to service and quality and similarly, they by our genuine passion for what we do.
Lesson 3. Believe in your business
Although working at opposite ends of the furniture business (they a manufacturer –we are a retailer) it was clear that we both shared the same ethos.
We both believe that it's not just about business – it's more than that. It's about putting the customer first and only selling it if it's right for the customer.
Lesson 4. Be Passionate!
Fama have chosen Seriously Sofas as their partner for their very first FamaLiving store in the UK. We are excited to open FamaLiving London, from our newly extended premises in Kingston, South West London, on 25th April 2013.
With a wider range of products and marketing support from Spain we are very excited about the next 12 months!
Fama chose to work with us not because we were their largest stockist, nor did they work with us because we sold the most pieces for them. They chose to work with us because we shared their ideals and their passion.
Believe in what you do, do it well, and do it with passion. Ole!

The "film" is being used as a sleight-of-hand and flimsy excuse for the murderous Islamic to attack, injure, rape, mutilate, sodomize, lynch, bomb, and burn their victims, as the jihad is now being waged in a worldwide stage.
Using the "film" as a detractor, both Barry Soetoro and Hillary Clinton have lied to the American public about the circumstances about the brutal torture, rape, sodomization, and lynching of American ambassador Chris Stevens on September 11, 2012, along with the lies about the deaths of the soldiers who were killed. This was clearly a premeditated attack and the Muslims had previous intel that led them to the "safe house" in which Stevens was attacked. His body remained missing for ten hours, during which time the atrocities occurred.
Attacks of violence and outbreaks of gang Muslims continue to occur worldwide and are spreading to a country near you.

THE SITTER dvd review
Adventures in Babysitting meets "Superbad" in this raunchy comedy starring Jonah Hill as Noah, a suspended college student who becomes the unlikely--and unqualified--sitter to his neighbor's children (Max Records, Landry Bender, Kevin Hernandez). But his girlfriend's (Ari Gaynor) promise of sex in exchange for cocaine forces Noah to bring the kids along on a wild trek across the city, pursued by a psychotic drug dealer (Sam Rockwell).
Now I was not sure if I would like this movie. Yes, I knew it would be a raunchy comedy which is where my doubts came from. Now this is not a family movie even though it does throw in some good messages when Jonah Hill's character helps the kids he babysits with their problems.
The movie does have a lot of bad language and graphic scenes and dialogue. Some of which I think could be left out and still get the point across. Yet I still found myself laughing out loud at times. I do find the movie easy to predict mostly but it still is funny.
Now if you are not a fan of raunchy comedy, do NOT watch this movie. If you enjoy laughing at silly comedy then you could like this movie.
The movie is available now where dvds are sold and online at Amazon.com for $ 18.99.

Order of Inspector Carlyle Books
Inspector Carlyle is the central character in a series of crime fiction novels by British author James Craig. John Carlyle is an inspector with the Metropolitan Police of London, working out of the Charing Cross police station. Craig got the original concept for the character after reading A Florentine Death by Michele Giuttari. Although London is over 650 sq. miles, full of over 8 million people, the series is mostly set in and around Covent Garden, allowing Craig to use such famous London landmarks as Trafalgar Square and Buckingham Palace.
Inspector John Carlyle made his debut in the novel London Calling, published in 2011. The series is currently ongoing. Below is a list of James Craig's Inspector Carlyle books in order of when they were originally published (and in chronological order):
Publication Order of Inspector Carlyle Books
Chronological Order of Inspector Carlyle Books
When reading the series in chronological order, we suggest reading the novellas The Enemy Within and What Dies Inside before the rest of the books in the series.

Navy Sharks Update
The Sharks progressed into the semi finals of the Dubai 7's with two confident games that saw them score a total of 86 points and concede none. Their first opponents were the last pool game against russian side Spartac who were a bulky aggressive side, the Sharks however moved the ball well early on opening up space for Naval Airman Iffi Kava to score, further pressure saw tries from Corporal Greg Bardon, Marine Rob Lloyd and Sharks skipper PO Wayne John. Although the Russian side tried to attack the well organised Naval defence held firm forcing mistakes from their opponents resulting in further scores from Marine Aron Humphries, Bardon and Lloyd.
RN Sharks 41 - Spartac 0
The quarter final saw the Sharks drawn against CMB Building Maintenance & Investment, after a cagey opening few minutes which saw both sides with good attacking opportunites the Sharks worked an opening for Naval Airman Iffi Kava who flew down the touchline and step the last defender to touch down near the posts, the next try came from great defensive pressure in midfield where their opponents spilled the ball allowing Corporal Greg Bardon to hack through and collect to score, CMB were constantly under pressure on their goal line resulting in a penalty to the Sharks, Corporal Gaz Evans reacted quickest to tap the penalty and power over for another try. The second half started with another score from Kava wide out and you could see the CMB side starting to tire, from the restart Bardon rose to take the hanging kick cleanly above his head and speed away for his second try of the game, replacement AET Kelly Wise managed to squeeze in at the corner before a perfectly timed inside pass to PO Wayne John on the half way line put him in space, he immediately pinned his ears back showing perfect technique to streak away from his chasers and dot down under the posts.
RN Sharks 41 - CMB Building Maintenance & Investment 0
The Sharks will now face the Wooden Spooners in the semi final on Saturday who are one of the teams tipped to win the tournament but 2 good performances today will give the Sharks confidence.

Well y'all… SURPRISE! Things may look a little different around here this morning & that's because this little blog went through a huge redesign this weekend! I've been wanting to change things up for awhile, call it getting older, but in all areas of my life I've been craving simplicity & streamlined elements. I was also wanting to add more functional elements to the blog to make it an easier experience for y'all to find anything you want or need and I think this design takes the cake! I'd love for you to let me know what you think! And if there are any missing or broken links shoot me a note, I've been checking them all but I could have missed something 🙂
This weekend was a fun one! On Saturday, my aunt, mom and I had a fun girl's day and took my my sister, Mallory, shopping for back to school clothes to make sure she was prepped and ready to wow 'em at University of Florida in the fall! We had so much fun picking out cute new looks and helping Mall get prepped for college 🙂 Of course, I couldn't resist trying on a few cute new pieces myself (#canthelpit) and I'm sharing some snaps & fit details with y'all too!
Loft OTS Striped Dress– This piece is actually an online exclusive but I happened to find a return in my store. It's from Loft's "Beach" line, but wasn't sheer so you could definitely wear it as a regular dress and not just a cover-up. This dress definitely runs big because I'm actually in an XXS and I'm normally between a small and medium in Loft dresses! Tip: Currently sold out online, but I keep seeing it pop back in stock so don't give up and keep checking 🙂
Loft Striped Maxi Dress– This maxi finally went on sale and it came home with me! (I'll be sharing how I'm styling it for the 4th Thursday). I was excited that the length is actually not too long on me (I'm 5'4 and almost always have to get maxi's hemmed), but this dress also runs big; I am in an XS. I can never resist a good stripe! (Fun fact: My grandma also has this dress so we can #Twin soon!)
Lilly Pulitzer Selina Crop Top Set– Mallory and I popped in to visit My, my favorite Lilly sales associate at Dillards, and we both LOVED this new crop top set! It runs pretty TTS (I'm wearing an 8). I thought it would be fun for you to see it on two body types: Mallory is tall (5'7ish) and think, where I am shorter and curvier. When my arm isn't bent at a funny angle the crop actually doesn't show my tummy at all, where as on Mallory it shows a slight sliver. I may snag this if it's still hanging around during the After-party sale, but I couldn't give in to paying full price when I couldn't figure out where I would actually wear it! It is gorgeous though and I wish I had a reason to bring it home with me!
Lilly Pulitzer Essie Dress in Fansea– Y'all know my LOVE for the Essie dress this season, and the minty Fansea color is perfection too! This dress runs TTS and has an ever-so-slight A line shape over the hips (I'm wearing a Medium).
BP Floppy Hat with Bow– I was definitely feeling the derby spirit when I was strolling out of Nordstroms and this hat totally caught my eye! It was so cute, and at under $30 would be great to hang on to until next year's big event! PS- It left me feeling Gone with the Wind fabulous #namethathousewife
Floppy Hat with Bow // Gray Tee (a new favorite) // J. Crew Skirt (this year's version) // Sam Edelman Gigi sandals // Tassel Necklace // Phone Case

Gathering the paperwork you'll need for the application process can be a tedious job. But imagine that you've found the perfect home, you're ready to apply for a loan and when the lender asks for that W2 and you can't find it. Now what? You have to track down a copy. All the while your application is on hold and with each day that passes, someone else could be bidding on your home. Let's make sure this doesn't happen.
Use this checklist to organize your paperwork before you find a home. It may be a boring task today, but it's better than a stressful ordeal tomorrow.
- W2 earning statements or 1099 DIV income statements for the lasttwo years
- Federal tax returns for the last two years
- Bank statements for the last few months – showing a balance greaterthan or equal to the amount you'll need for the down payment.
- Recent paycheck stubs
- Proof of other income, such as tips, Social Security payments, etc.
- Proof of investment income if applicable
You may be asked for additional documentation, but having these documents will surely speed up your application. Of course, the best way to avoid any delays during the application process is to get preapproved. You'll still need to gather these documents for the preapproval process, so set aside a couple of hours and get it over with – you'll be glad you did.

don't get caught in a Valentino gown
...seemed to be the common response of actresses Uma Thurman, Jennifer Lopez and Keira Knightley at the Academy Awards. The reason? A premature news release Sunday morning from the designer, announcing that the three actresses had chosen his gowns for that evening's event. The stars turned out in the gowns of Valentino's competitors, garnering attention and brand recognition the old-fashioned way, by letting the dresses speak for themselves. PR Week reported the (very) "ill-advised" mistake as its "PR Play of the Week," and it underscores the need in any announcement to consider whose announcement is it? In this case, letting the stars get the attention and the scoop would've worked well for everyone. Before you rush out with news involving a Very Important Partner of any kind, spend some time strategizing when and from whom it should come.

A policeman attached to the Clarendon police division is hopping mad after he was robbed of his high-end smart phone at a church function on Church Street in May Pen last Saturday afternoon. The cop, who is assigned to the community safety and security unit, in recalling the incident, says he was at the function providing logistical support to members of the church. He said he went to the refreshment counter, where he put the instrument down to get a drink. He explained that in the split second that it took him to serve himself the drink, his phone went missing. All his attempts to get back the phone have been unsuccessful.
refreshment counter
"I just went up to the refreshment counter to get a drink and put down the phone, and just like that, the phone disappeared," the cop told THE STAR. "You can see say a one real big church thief that because as soon as the person thief it, immediately, the phone was turned off because all me a ring the number, it just went to voicemail." He added, "if it was a party I had gone to and them thief the phone there, I could see with that, but a church is the house of the Lord, and the people there are expected to be God's people, not common thieves and vagabonds."

Oh hi, new contract!
Hello all -
Exciting news first: there's a new book on the way! I've just signed a contract with Central Avenue Publishing (my awesome publisher for the past several books as well) for my next novel, currently titled Lava Red Feather Blue. For those who read The Goblins of Bellwater and wanted more fae, I have heard you! This one has loads of fae, including a protagonist who's half-fae, half-human. Meanwhile for those of you who read All the Better Part of Me and wanted another male/male love story, I've heard you too: this one also has that! It's set on a fictional island nation in the north Pacific, and I'll have plenty of time to tell you more about it in the coming year, but for now, you can add it to your Goodreads to-read shelf. And here's a teaser graphic with character-inspiration images.
As for news of books that are already released: I went to the Pacific Northwest Booksellers' Association trade show a couple of weeks ago, where I talked up All the Better Part of Me and signed mountains of copies.
This is a show that isn't open to the public, only to registered independent bookstore owners/employees and the publishers and authors who are displaying their books. I met so many lovely bookstore folk from all over the Northwest - please do remember your nearby independent brick-and-mortar stores and go buy books from them! They work hard to build a collection their customers will love.
I'll keep the update to just that for today. But please do tell me what you're going to be for Halloween, if you celebrate it and if you feel like sharing. It's one of my favorite holidays, as you might guess from the rather large number of paranormal happenings in the books I write. Have a wonderful weekend!

Victim of IslamoNazi attack in Berlin was Israeli-Arab who didn't believe Germany was anti-Semitic
The 21-year-old victim of an anti-Semitic attack on the streets of Berlin has told German media that, despite the fact that he was wearing a kippah, he was not Jewish, but an Israeli Arab wearing the kippah as an experiment.
"I'm not Jewish, I'm an Israeli, I grew up in Israel in an Arab family," the man told German broadcaster Deutsche Welle.
He was conducting what he termed an "experiment" in response to a warning from a friend that wearing a kippah in Germany was unsafe, saying he refused to believe this.
An interview by Israeli broadcaster Kann identified the 21-year-old as Israeli Adam Armoush and showed that he was slightly injured by the belt.
"They kept cursing us and my friend asked them to stop cursing," Armoush told Kan TV. "They started to get angry and one of them ran to me and I knew it was important to film it because there would be no way to catch him by the time police arrived."
"Honestly, I'm surprised a thing like this could happen," he said in the interview.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel called attack in the city's trendy Prenzlauer Berg neighborhood "a very horrible incident" and vowed the government would respond "with full force and resolve" against growing anti-Semitism in Germany.
"There's anti-Semitism among German citizens, unfortunately, and also anti-Semitism from the Arabic-speaking region and the government will do everything (against it)," Merkel told reporters.
Anti-Semitic incidents have been on the rise across Germany. Several Jewish students have reported anti-Semitic bullying in schools in recent months and Israeli flags were burnt during a recent protest in Berlin.
Last week, anti-Semitic Muslim rappers who made fun of Holocaust victims, win Germany's top music award. Several past winners said they would return their awards.

Chapter 15.
herbs for vomiting
1. Zhen Ni Tang (Zhen here means to
suppress, and to stop, in Chinese; Ni means reverse)
This formula is used to suppress vomit that is caused by
reversed Stomach Qi or reversed Gall Bladder Fire.
Daizheshi 18 gram
(grind), Qingdai 6 gram, Banxia 9 gram, Baishao 12 gram,
Longdancao 9 gram, Wuzhuyu 3 gram, Fresh ginger 6 gram, wild
Taishen 6 gram.
2. Shuyu Banxia Zhou (Shuyu is the name of a
herb; Banxia: the name of a herb; Zhou here means soup in
This formula is used for continuous vomiting due to Stomach Qi
rushing up reversely. The Chong Qi rushes up. The person have
more vomit upon smelling the herbal smell and so much so that
the person could not have anything swallowed.
Shanyao 30 gram (grind), Banxia 30 gram.
Wash the Banxia with warm water for several times until there is
no any smell of vitriol. Use the dish cooking pot (do not use
the herbal pot) to cook the Banxia for about 650 ml. Add the
Shanyao powder in, continue the cook for two to three boiling.
The soup is ready to eat. Add some white sugar to eat. If there
is Fire in the Upper Jiao, use the Shishuangbing to replace the
sugar. If the body feels cold in the Upper Jiao, drink some
Ganjiang (dried ginger) powder with the herbal soup.
After vomit, if the person feels dry mouth and throat, and
wishes to drink water, it suggests the condition belongs to
Fire; if after vomiting, he has wet tongue, and has no desire to
drink, it suggests a cold condition. However, if the vomit has
been there for a long time to cause loss of liquid in the body,
the person will also feel thirsty in a cold condition. In this
case, check the pulse carefully. If the pulse feels slippery and
frequent, it is Hot; if it is string and late, it is cold. If it
is slippery but weak, it suggests Upper-sthenic but Lower-asthenic
condition, and the Upper-Hot and Lower-cold condition. String
and strong, it is reverse of Chong Qi and Stomach Qi. If the
pulse feels as hot but not really hot, it is needed to ask about
the diet, the digestion, the odor of vomited stuff, etc., to
distinguish the Hot and Cold condition.
Generally speaking, the vomit is in most cases caused by the
up-reverse of the Stomach Qi and Chong Qi together. Herb Banxia
is the main herb to reverse the reversed Stomach Qi and the
Chong Qi, so that there are Da Banxia Tang and Xiao Banxia Tang
in the book
《Jin Kui》.
It should be
specifically pointed out that, the person with vomit hates and
dislike the vitriol taste and smell. Currently in the market,
even the so called pure Banxia contains the vitriol, which must
be washed off completely, to prevent further more vomit due to
the vitriol. The amount of the Banxia was used up to 30 gram,
for the reason that, the process of the Banxia in the herbal
shop depleted off its spicy taste; and that, the more washing
further more removed its spicy. It has to be used in a large
amount, so as to keep its power in vomit-stopping function. To
make it as soup with Shanyao, is for the reason that the person
with vomit is easy to vomit after drink water-solution. The
Shanyao soup is sticky, so to hold the healing effect of the
Banxia longer time in stomach. In addition, the Shanyao could
supply more liquid to the body and nourish the lung, so can
prevent the possible dryness side effect from the Banxia. The
Shanyao can also nourish the Kidney to restrain the Qi back to
the Kidney. When the Chong Qi is nourished, it would stay in its
original place in the body, no longer rushing up to push the
Stomach Qi up. The Shanyao is calm, has no herbal taste, so it
is as the Banxia, suitable to the person with strong vomit.
There is a clinic
condition, in which the vomit is due to "reverse of Gall
Bladder". In the book《Xu
Ming Yi Lei An》, there is a case as such. Dr.
Xuxuan treated a child, who was 10 years of old. The child
vomited bitter water, which had color as green as vegetable
juice. Dr. Xu said: this is "reverse of Gall Bladder". After the
gall bladder juice is vomited completely, the person would die.
He used herbal formula Wen Dan Tang, with addition of Suanzaoren,
Daizheshi to re-localize the gall bladder. The formula should be
termed as Zhen Dan Tang (note: Zhen here means to re-localize;
to put in normal or correct position; Dan here means gall
bladder in Chinese). One dose stopped the vomit. Comments: this
case is very mysterious, so it is cited here for a reference.

India vs Australia 1st ODI Highlights: MS Dhoni, Kedar Jadhav Star In Chase As India Beat Australia By 6 Wickets
Highlights, Ind vs Aus 1st ODI: MS Dhoni and Kedar Jadhav added an unbeaten 141 runs for the fifth wicket.
An unbeaten 141-run stand between MS Dhoni and Kedar Jadhav took India to a six-wicket win in the first of the five-match ODI series against Australia in Hyderabad on Saturday. Reduced to 99-4 at one stage, India were in a spot of bother as they lost their top-four following a 76-run partnership between captain Virat Kohli and vice-captain Rohit Sharma. It was up to the Indian middle-order to prove a point ahead of the Cricket World Cup 2019 and Kedar Jadhav grabbed the opportunity with both his hands in the company of Dhoni. Jadhav remained unbeaten on 81 runs from 87 balls that included 9 fours and 1 six. On the other hand, Dhoni was 59 not out from 72 balls. His innings included 6 fours and 1 six. Earlier, riding on Usman Khawaja's 50 at the top and collective efforts by Glenn Maxwell (40), Marcus Stoinis (37) and Alex Carey (36), Australia scored 236-7 in 50 overs at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium.

12:50 IST: Australia have defeated India both the times they played in Hyderabad. In 2007, they beat India by 47 runs, and in 2009 they narrowly won by three runs.
12:47 IST: In India, Australia have won in 26 ODIs whereas India have won 25 ODIs.
12:45 IST: India and Australia have played each other 125 times in ODIs. Australia have won in 74 ODIs while India have won 41 times. 10 matches have produced no result.
12:44 IST: Hello and welcome to our live coverage of the first of the five-match ODI series between India and Australia in Hyderabad.
There will be at least four players for whom the series will be like a pre-test. KL Rahul, Rishabh Pant, Vijay Shankar and Siddarth Kaul are fighting for two available slots in that UK bound 15-member squad. One man who will be keenly tracking the developments from the sidelines will be Dinesh Karthik, who still, many believe, has an outside chance of making it to the team.
However, for the quartet of Rahul, Pant, Shankar and Kaul, the coming five matches will be an acid test as and when they are inducted into the playing XI.
Rahul should be in a good head space after scores of 50 and 47 in the two T20 Internationals and is expected to get a few more chances at the top of the order.
India: Virat Kohli (capt), Shikhar Dhawan, Rohit Sharma, Ambati Rayudu, Mahendra Singh Dhoni (wk), Kedar Jadhav, Vijay Shankar, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami, Kuldeep Yadav, Yuzvendra Chahal, Rishabh Pant, Siddarth Kaul, KL Rahul, Ravindra Jadeja
Australia: Aaron Finch (capt), D'Arcy Short, Shaun Marsh, Marcus Stoinis, Usman Khawaja, Alex Carey, Peter Handscomb, Ashton Turner, Adam Zampa, Jason Behrendorff, Jhye Richardson, Pat Cummins, Andrew Tye, Nathan Coulter-Nile, Nathan Lyon

Chilly Open

Feb. 3, Columbus Zoo and Aquarium
The Chilly Open has more than two decades of history benefiting local children's charities, but it's still finding ways to look to the future.
Case in point: This year's innovation, a new silent auction bidding platform accessible via smart devices.
The Westerville Sunrise Rotary Club coordinates this annual fundraiser, which is highlighted by live music and food from 30-plus central Ohio restaurants and caterers.
"It is one of central Ohio's largest all-volunteer produced events," says Tom Strasburg, event chairman. "All of our restaurants provide the food at no cost, allowing more funds to be raised and directed to our children's charity beneficiaries."
The event also promises a variety of entertainment for younger attendees.

"The Children's Open area is back. It will be moved to a tent system behind the Education Building," Strasburg says. "It has a lot of great activities, such as laser tag, games, movies (and) bounce houses, and great food."
Strasburg is excited for what 2018 will bring back to the community and the children who need it the most.
"Our beneficiaries help children and their families suffering from illness, struggling with hunger and other situations with which children should not have to cope," he says. "It takes a village, as they say, and we are very proud of our Westerville community, where the Sunrise Rotary is a pillar of integrity and leadership."

Winter Hikes

Jan. 13-Feb. 3, Westerville's Metro Parks
Getting some exercise and taking in the scenery are generally the two main goals of participants in Franklin County Metro Parks' Winter Hikes, but in Westerville, there's also food to appreciate.
Winter Hikes – tour-guided walks through snow-covered paths – are Metro Parks winter traditions, but not all of them boast food made from scratch by volunteers.
Sharon Woods Metro Park's hike is set for Jan. 13, and Inniswood Metro Gardens' follows Jan. 21. Participants can walk with or without guides, and this year, a virtual tour guide is available via a free, downloadable app on smart devices. The virtual tour is available before and after the hikes as well.
On the menu: white chicken chili prepared on-site by volunteers, cornbread, cookies, hot chocolate and plenty of water for those participating in the hike. Allison Shaw, lead programmer for events at Sharon Woods, says the soup recipe is near and dear to her heart.
"It's my recipe. I gave it to my mom and she won a chili cook-off with it and said we should serve it for the winter hike, so we did," she says. "She passed away the following year, but it became a staple for Sharon Woods' hikes in 2002 and continues as a well-loved tradition."

Shaw and her mother tweaked the recipe to serve 1,000-plus people every year at the Sharon Woods hike.
Inniswood has been serving chili at its Winter Hikes for years as well, with volunteers usually cooking up multiple types to satisfy all comers. Baked goods and hot chocolate are available, too.
Another Westerville-area Winter Hike is slated for this winter: Blendon Woods Metro Park's event on Feb. 3.
- Sharon Woods: 10 a.m. Jan. 13, 2 or 4 miles
- Inniswood: 2 p.m. Jan. 21, 2 miles
- Blendon Woods: 10 a.m. Feb. 3, 2, 4 or 6 miles

People tell me I look like my mother. I inherited something else from my mother—her love of cars. She always tells the story that my dad stole her heart when he invited her to the races on their first date. I grew up with that love of cars. I love the technology, the sleek design, the innovation that goes into making today's cars more fuel efficient. So I'm thrilled that I can get my car fix this coming week at the DFW Auto Show.
What is the DFW Auto Show
The 2018 DFW Auto Show, which will run February 14-18, 2018 at the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center (650 S. Griffin in Downtown Dallas), is the place to go if you are even considering a new car. Or you just love looking at cars and trucks in a relaxing, fun atmosphere.
I know I love looking at cars, sitting in them, checking out those interiors that offer so many amazing gadgets these days—but I hate the high-pressure atmosphere of a sales lot. You don't have to worry about that at the DFW Auto Show.
This year, the show is open from 4 to 10 pm on Wednesday, February 14, then 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Thursday through Saturday, February 15 – 17 and 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Sunday, February 18. You can find every major manufacturer at the show, so this is a great chance to check out which cars, SUVs, and trucks you might like best.
One more fun aspect of the 2018 DFW Auto Show is the test drive opportunity. It takes place each day for select models. You must be over 21, sign a waiver and pass a breathalyzer. Be sure to bring your driver's license so you can take the auto of your choice for a spin around downtown Dallas! Here's the schedule:
Wednesday, Feb 14
Ford & Kia (4 – 7 p.m.)
Mazda & Toyota (4 – 8 p.m.)
Thursday, Feb 15
FCA, Mazda, Nissan & Toyota (10 a.m. – 6 p.m.)
Ford & Kia ( 10 a.m. – 7 p.m.)
Friday, Feb 16
FCA, Mazda, Nissan & Toyota (10 a.m. – 6 p.m.)
Acura, Ford, Honda & Kia (10 a.m. – 7 p.m.)
Saturday, Feb 17
Chevy, FCA, Mazda & Nissan (10 a.m. – 6 p.m.)
Acura, Ford, Honda, Kia & Toyota (10 a.m. – 7 p.m.)
Sunday, Feb 18
Chevy, FCA, Mazda, Nissan & Toyota (10 a.m. – 6 p.m.)
Acura, Ford, Honda & Kia (10 a.m. – 7 p.m.)
Toyota at the DFW Auto Show
I'm looking forward to checking out Toyota while I'm at the DFW Auto Show. As many of my readers may know, I have a new home in the Dallas area—as does Toyota. Three years ago, Toyota announced its "One Toyota" initiative to create unified operations in North America and invested about $1 billion to build new corporate headquarters in Plano, TX. Those headquarters are now open. You can see the full Toyota line at the DFW Auto Show.
I look forward to seeing the new Avalon line, which has a new signature Toyota grille introduced with the 2019 Avalon. The Avalon is Toyota's luxury sedan and in 2019, you'll find Wifi, Qi wireless phone charging, Amazon Alexa, Apple Car Play and more of those fun technology features that I adore in today's luxury cars. Safety is foremost, with Toyota Safety Sense, that includes blind spot monitors, lane departure assistance, and crash mitigation.
If you prefer to get out on the open road and wander with a bit of adventure, perhaps you should check out the RAV4 Adventure. This is a fun car for exploring and can handle those off-road adventures. My husband is one who likes to say, "Oh, look, that looks like a great road." Which means, it looks like a road less traveled. This is a fun car for that type of adventure, yet still suitable for the city living in the DFW Metroplex.
There are still a lot of people here in Texas who prefer—or need—a truck. I grew up driving trucks. First on a farm in Virginia and then on a ranch in Colorado. Toyota offers two trucks, the Tundra and Tacoma, both of which are built in San Antonio. If you're in the market for a truck, you can check them out at the DFW Auto Show.
Win Tickets to the DFW Auto Show
In conjunction with A Girls Guide to Cars, you can enter for a chance to be one of the 10 lucky winners to get two free tickets attend the DFW Auto Show compliments of Toyota and the DFW Auto Show. Plus, one lucky winner will receive a $100 gift card.
Contest rules: Entries must be completed by midnight February 12, 2018. No purchase necessary; contest open only to US residents and subject to the laws of Texas. Winners will be notified by email by February 13, 2018. Winners MUST pick up prizes in person between February 14 – 18, 2018 at the DFW Auto Show, Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center, 650 S. Griffin, Dallas. Winners may be asked to provide identification to receive their prize. prize value $24 per prize and are not exchangeable for cash or other items. Grand prize value is $124. A total of 10 pairs of tickets will be awarded and a total of 1 grand prize will be awarded.
I'm looking forward to checking out all of the Toyota offerings and the new cars, SUVs, and trucks spread across the convention center this week in downtown Dallas. I can't wait to see all the great new technology at the DFW Auto Show.
Disclosure: This post is part of a program sponsored by the DFW Auto Show and Toyota.

Lent 5
by Angel Figueroa
There is a phrase that most professional church workers are going to hear eventually in their ministry. In my opinion these five words are the most dangerous that can be heard in a church setting and are behind the decline of many congregations. Those five words are "We've never done that before." These words are often said in response to any suggestions that perhaps things need to be done a little bit different to proclaim the in-breaking kingdom of God. And there is a certain universality to them, being able to be used to protest everything from the seemingly trivial; such as removing a pew to provide an accessible space for people with differing mobilities to worship, to literal matters of life and death such as battling the rising tide of antisemitism and Islamophobia that resulted in such horrors as the Tree of Life shooting in Pittsburgh or the recent masjid attacks in New Zealand.
This text from Isaiah is part of what is known to scholars as Second Isaiah and was written to provide comfort to the exiled Israelites and promise them liberation from the forces that kept them captive. In Isaiah those forces were the literal military forces of the Babylonian Empire. The prophet's words of hope and liberation still ring through today, even if the force that keeps us enslaved now is different. The ancient Israelites were prevented from living their identity as the People of God by military force. We as the Church refuse to live that identity because of something even more insidious - fear. If there is one thing that most unifies the human experience, it's fear, and especially fear of change and the unknown.
At first glance this seems foolish. Looking around at the world it's hard to see why people would be attached to it. Afterall, we live in a world where untold millions don't know when the next meal is coming. We live in a world we live in a world where parents don't know if their beloved child is going to come home at the end of the day. And even in the United States and other countries that claim to be societies that promote equality, we live in societies that are incredibly stratified and your place in society is automatically affected by the color of your skin, sexuality and gender identity. This is a fallen and broken world and falls far short of the promised vision that is given again and again in Isaiah. Yet we cling to it, because it is something we know, understand, and yes even benefit from.
As with the Apostle Paul, we define ourselves by the titles and positions we hold, and even those of us who work in the church are not immune to that. If there is any doubt, look at a typical ordination service. While I am not discounting the level of effort, heartbreak and tears that can go into the process of becoming a pastor, it is the only vocation that the Church celebrates with such pomp and extravagance. Because we are members of a fallen humanity and world, even our institutions are turned inward, even if we claim to be outward focused. Of course this is not unique to the church. In fact it is part of the reality of living in a fallen world. We loose sight of the One who is our creator and our life and turn to false gods.
Martin Luther stated in the Large Catechism "That now, I say, upon which you set your heart and put your trust is properly your god." Instead of placing all our faith and hope on the One who liberated Israel from captivity in Egypt and exile in Babylon, we instead turn to other things. We rely on our material goods to provide us safety and comfort. We take refuge in academic and institutional titles and positions to show that we are of value. We turn to jingoistic nationalism to prove that we are living a right and moral life. Wholeness, value, a life that is just and loving, these are all gifts of God, and God alone. Yet we turn everywhere but to the Triune One in search of them. Not only that, but we cling so closely to those other things, we do anything we can to maintain them.
And in our desire to hold on to our false gods, we resemble Judas as told in our Gospel story. The story of the anointing of Jesus is in all four Gospel accounts, but this one is different. It's the only one that both identifies the objecting disciple and gives a reason for his objection. The reason he states in his objection is a good and godly one, for care of each other is part of our fundamental responsibility on this earth. But though he gives a good and godly reason for his objection, instead he was driven by self serving greed. There are far too many parallels in this countries political dialogue about policy, both domestically and internationally. We cut back on badly needed social programs because we say that we are trying to avoid creating a system of dependency, while in reality we just want to lower our taxes. In my own county the Board of Chosen Freeholders (New Jersey term for county council) was hesitant to break a contract with ICE to house people detained for suspicion of unauthorized presence, and the sticking point wasn't the morality of the decision, but rather the amount of money the country was getting payed. We also see it in all our foreign entanglements and interference overseas. We speak of "bringing democracy" but in reality we are just trying to improve our position on the world stage. The stated goal might be a worthwhile one, but it is the intention behind it that makes even an outwardly good action a sinful instead. But we are so attached to our idols we have no choice but to keep sinning in order to prop them up, for we derive our happiness and hope from them. It's unthinkable to us to do anything else, for our very identity is tied up to these things we hold up, and to give them up will result in a very real form of death.
And that brings us back to the words of the prophet Isaiah. It must seem odd to be looking at one of the most hopeful passages of the prophet. After all Lent is supposed to be a time of repentance, denial and yes even death. Isaiah of course is full of these kind of passages as well, but those passages aren't assigned today. Instead we are given this passage of intense hope, and the promise of new and better things, a path through the wildness and water enough that none may thirst. But I think that Lent is the perfect time to hear this promise. God has freely sent to us the one who is the Way, the Truth and the Life. God has freely sent to us the One who is Living Water that quenches all thirsts. But to follow the way, we must first leave the exile that captures us. We must forsake the things that keep us bound to our fallen world, even if that leads to our death, physical or social. For it is only in dying that we can live anew in the glory of God.
Less than 6 months before he would die, the noted writer and apologist C.S. Lewis wrote a letter to Mary Willis Shelburne who was in the hospital and thought to be dying. While in reality she recovered and lived for 12 more years, she as was perhaps natural, had great fear of death. In an attempt to relieve her fear, Lewis wrote the following words. "Has this world been so kind to you that you should leave it with regret? There are better things ahead than any we leave behind." While not in themselves a commentary on the text, they serve as a good lens as we look at this promise and other promises given to us in the prophets and in Jesus. God has so much in store for us, and we cannot look with regret at the old things we are going to lose, because they are nothing but shit in comparison to the glory of the coming reign of peace and justice that Jesus has come to establish.

Exploring Cornwall's old tin mines and the Lizard serpentinites with Barbara (July 2017).
Barbara hadn't been to Cornwall before, so we spent a wet, blustery but enjoyable week there. The weather was uncharacteristically cold for July but we still managed to find a lot of old tin mine engine houses, and (after some searching) the old serpentine works at Poltesco Cove. Serpentinites are rocks from the Earth's mantle, hydrated by exposure to seawater
Erik Lundin and I are interested in these rocks because they can form by exhumation of the mantle on passive margins during continental break-up. The Lizard serpentinites were obducted (thrusted up) from the mantle during the closure of the Rheic Ocean, and continental collision, some 300 million years ago. They were mined as ornamental stones, and the practice continues today, albeit in a very minor way.

What is the Taxi Management System?
This page provides information on drop-off, pick-up and booked services for Danish taxis, Swedish taxis, limousines and embassy vehicles, as well as a map of the relevant areas of the airport.
How the system works
The airport determines the demand for taxis based on the number of passengers requesting the service. Taxi trips are then allocated to the various taxi companies based on the size of each company's fleet. If a company does not accept an allocated trip, it will be passed on to a pool from which the other companies can also offer their availability for the fare.
The individual taxicab owners sign up through their taxi company, and their vehicles are registered using the vehicle's BroBizz transponder, which shows information on the vehicle, for example, the number of passenger seats, any extra space for baggage or whether the vehicle has child safety seats. Only taxis registered this way are allowed to pick up passengers in the airport area.
Better service for customers, less waiting for taxi drivers
Passengers at the airport today expect more from the service provided during taxi rides. With the new system, CPH has laid down guidelines in collaboration with the four taxi companies to bring customers an even better taxi service experience than they have today. For example, passengers will be met by a friendly and well-dressed driver in profile clothing, which we know makes international customers feel comfortable. Moreover, the taxicab must be clean, both inside and out, and the driver must help passengers put their bags and suitcases in the boot. We expect that this will mean that even more passengers will in future want to take a taxi to and from the airport, which is an advantage to you as a driver.
Less queue
Today, many taxi drivers waste a great deal of time queueing at the airport. We can see that taxicabs today wait an average of about 42 minutes from they drive into the area until they leave the airport with a customer fare. Some drivers wait even longer, even up to 4 hours and 55 minutes. The new system will cut taxi waiting times to an average maximum of 20 minutes. The system is intended to save drivers about 330,000 hours spent queueing at Copenhagen Airport each year, giving them time to drive many more trips.
