I am looking for a touring type of bike that allows for a more upright riding position. I will likely not do any "touring", just a century or charity ride type of events. I am 40 years old, overweight, and not very flexible and I find a geometry that allows me to ride more upright more comfortable. A specialized sequoia might work, but I am probably leaning towards something along the lines of Jamis Aurora, Surly LHT, or Fuji Touring. I would probably leave the Trek 520 out of the running b/c I want to keep it below $1,000 plus I will not do any real touring.
I have considered used bikes, but I have not found anything to my liking on eBay or Craigslist.
So, I am seeking opinions between Jamis Aurora, Surly LHT, and Fuji Touring.

I received this holster in 2008 for my Ruger LCP. From 2008 to now (2015) I bet there's only be 30 days or less that I haven't had this in my back pocket all day long. Even while driving long distances. This holster is tough and very well made. Not one stitch has come loose and it has molded to my body and the gun very well without affecting the speed of my draw. It is money well spent! I highly recommend this holster for anyone who wants to carry their pocket gun this way.

Being sewn at bottom only makes this the most functional holster I've used.

Ok, so I think there are maybe only a few people that are active in the blogs that don't know that Argit01 and I are engaged and planning to marry as soon as I can get all my paperwork completed (passport to visit and a visa to move there permanently). To do this, I have to go through two court hearings, one of which is scheduled for next Wednesday, and the other should be coming up shortly after that. I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. You can't believe how relieved I finally am. I've got the bestest guy in the whole world, he's been supportive and consistently there for me through all this crap. I can't wait to share my life with him.
On the kitty front… we're down to one miserable furball now. Thomas did manage to knock Princess up before he was sent to the pound, and I finally convinced the roommates that Princess was going to need medical attention when she delivered her third litter this year, and that if she didn't, the kittens most likely would. She lost 3 of her last litter of 6 in May, so it was likely that she'd lose more, if not her own life after this one. Thankfully, after much debate, they finally realized I was more than likely correct and they took her to the pound, also, because they were not able to afford the vet bills she would have incurred for them. Hopefully I'll be out of here soon and the one left will no longer be an annoyance to me.
Ya know, I still hate the layout on this site, I wish they'd take it back to the old one. Hafta click too many times to get to some of the links that used to be right on the main page, but obviously the powers that be don't listen to any of the suggestions we give, they just do whateverthefuck they wanna do. But… fact is… I love y'all so much that it's worth the headache I get looking at the front page just to be here with y'all.
So, dumb joke time.
Once upon a time, there was a family of moles -- a momma mole, a poppa mole, and a rather dim baby mole named Ed.
They woke up one morning, tired and hungry. There was a pleasant, yet unidentifyable smell in the air. They all had different ideas of what it might be.
"I think I smell pancakes!" said the momma mole.
"Nonsense!" said the poppa mole. "It's clearly waffels." The two fought until they decided that they would let little Ed decide: pancakes of waffles. But, Ed couldn't smell, because his short little self was stuck behind his parents.
"Well, if you'd let me up, I probably could tell you. But right now, all I can smell is molasses."
And of course, I have to send out something to the most wonderful man in the world… my G-spot!!

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- I was talking Wednesday with Jim Cramer about natural gas, which has had a stellar run in price in the last several weeks, breaching the $4/mcf price twice.While I have watched the price of natural gas rally from $3.50 to $4, I did not believe that it represented a structural change in what has been a depressed profile for nat gas. And while $4 is not a particularly high price for natural gas given its historical price over the last decade, I do believe we now have some structural reasons to believe that the bottom has been put in on natty.
And that's likely where you'd need to go for a good stock to play this nat gas move, although those names, including Cabot Oil and Gas (COG), Range Resources (RRC), Southwestern Energy (SWN) and EQT Corp. (EQT) have already rallied strongly. I talk more about the nat gas opportunity with Jim in the video above.

Thursday, 3 July 2014 | MYT 2:30 AM
BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Up to 45 people were killed in clashes between Iraqi security forces and followers of a radical cleric in the holy Shi'ite city of Karbala on Wednesday, security sources said, signalling divisions among Shi'ite factions as a Sunni insurgency rages.
The clashes erupted when police and army personnel tried to arrest Shi'ite cleric Mahmoud al-Sarkhi around midnight on Tuesday in the southern city of Karbala, an Interior Ministry intelligence officer and a police witness told Reuters.
Sarkhi and his armed followers have clashed in the past with U.S. forces, Iraqi security forces and supporters of Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani, the most revered Shi'ite cleric in Iraq.
Security forces said they went to arrest Sarkhi after his supporters started blocking roads and manning checkpoints around his neighbourhood in the Shi'ite shrine city, home to the tomb of Imam Hussein, which millions of Shi'ite pilgrims flock to annually.
Sarkhi had published a letter on his website earlier this week criticizing Sistani's decree for Iraqis to fight alongside the security forces against Sunni militants.
Sistani issued his decree after the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) swept across parts of northern and western Iraq. The group, which rules swathes of territory in an arc from Aleppo in Syria to near the western edge of Baghdad in Iraq, has since shortened its name to Islamic State and declared a "caliphate" to rule over the world's Muslims.
Police and troops reinforced by five helicopter gunships surrounded the house but were prevented from entering by Sarkhi's armed followers, the sources said, adding five police officers and about 40 of Sarkhi's supporters were killed.
The sources said that when security forces managed to break into the house after six hours of clashes, they found Sarkhi had escaped during the battle. Sarkhi's supporters posted on the cleric's website a picture of an Iraqi military Humvee vehicle they said they had destroyed in the battle.

- Oct 3:
- Broncos' Von Miller a bright spot in loss to Packers
- Broncos' Fox sticking with Orton at QB
- Denver Broncos' "Tebow package" limited to one snap against Green Bay Packers
- Green Bay Packers cornerback Charles Woodson returns to the end zone
- Packers keep momentum with onside kick
- Online chatter: Broncos fans agree there's no reason to keep Kyle Orton as the starting QB
- Krieger: Broncos aspire to be the Pack, but they're a long way off
Crazy like a Fox.
I am beginning to wonder if Broncos coach John Fox is stuck in the past. He shows no creativity. Or is Fox trying to prove that he is in charge and he's going to make sure fans know it? His pride is not going to let him use Tim Tebow, even if it might cost the Broncos a victory. If that is true, then Tebow needs to move on and find a team that will utilize his skill set. Maybe the Indianapolis Colts.
Marc, Memphis, Tenn.
Kiz: OK, hold on to your Florida Gators bobblehead. Tebow will not only touch the football against Green Bay, he will score a touchdown on the hallowed grounds of Lambeau Field. That's my story, and I'm sticking to it. Fox has to give Tebow a chance. Right? Yeah, we know. When the crack team of analysts at Kickin' It Headquarters recently advocated Jeremiah Johnson get snaps at halfback, rather than giving him the rock, the Broncos handed him a pink slip. So take our optimistic Tebow forecast for what it's worth. This prediction and three bucks will get you a half-caff, extra hot, skinny latte.
Elway or the highway?
It is becoming more obvious that the dangerous corporate faults of 1) "Not our guy;" 2) "That person will be my boss if I make this hire;" and 3) "He's the last regime's mistake" are incapacitating the Broncos when it comes to Tebow. Fox would like to win with Tebow, Daffy Duck or Yosemite Sam at quarterback. But front-office executive John Elway guards his own popularity and continuously says Tebow is not ready.
John, guarding his identity in the 'burbs
Kiz: Hey, boys and girls. Here's the true story about the dude who wrote this e-mail. Despite a career as a successful business honcho, he begged for cover in the big city, for fear the lunatic fringe on either side of our hot quarterback debate might storm his house with pitchforks. As we frantically run around to erect billboards in support of Tebow and obsessively overturn rocks to look for Elway's hidden agenda, maybe this Tebow Thing really has made us all unstable at any speed.
Read The Post!
Hello, Kiz. Do you think your column suggesting Fox give a chance to Tebow can find its way to the coach's desk? I live in Sweden, and even I can see you have to change your coaching style according to the players at your disposal. I hope Fox reads The Denver Post and realizes what the Broncos must do, at least by the November game at Oakland, which I will attend.
Anders, Helsingborg, Sweden
Kiz: Fox would be tempted to hire me at a salary of $750,000 per season to be his assistant head coach, if not for the fact he can get the newspaper delivered to his doorstep at a fraction of the cost. Now, while I have you, Anders, two quick questions: Do you get "Around the Horn" in Sweden? And do they provide Swedish subtitles for my esteemed colleague Woody Paige, or just lip-sync it, like those old Godzilla movies?
Is there any cure for Tebowsterone poisoning? Symptom No. 1: The inability to recognize a quarterback who couldn't hit the broad side of a barn with a pass. Symptom No. 2: Irrational exuberance. What other NFL player gets the right to lead a team without being able to demonstrate he can play? Here's what Tebowsterone poisoning does to you. It narrows the vision. Tebow is the last great laugh former coach Josh McDaniels had on Denver.
Dana, Phoenix
Kiz: Hey, that's not an affliction confined to Colorado. It has spread to Hollywood. Tebow landed a gig with everybody's favorite reality show, "The Biggest Loser." Now that's going too dang far, don't you think? With a 6-19 record in his past 25 starts for the Broncos, quarterback Kyle Orton was clearly more qualified for the role.
Juuuuuust a bit inside
And today's parting shot is a little chin music for the coach who helped make young Colorado pitcher Alex White appear as if his future might be throwing in the Home Run Derby during All-Star Game festivities.
"How in the world can the Rockies justify having pitching coach Bob Apodaca back on the team next year? This guy should have been canned years ago. Is there no other person available?"
Pat, Loveland

How hilly are your standard rides? Do the gears make up for the extra weight?
How much time in a typical outing will you spend lugging the bike rather than riding it? While carrying the bike the gears won't help a bit, and you'll feel every pound of that extra weight.
there is only 1 hill on my way to work and for ppl that lives in mahattan and bike around central park...they know there are a couple of hill in central parks. i won't be carry to much until i get to my building but then there are elavators in my building.
what should i choose???????????????????????????????????????????????

Stowaway 3-sp
- Adjustable handlebar (not available on the boardwalk)
- 3-sp
- Comes with a storage bag
- A bit cheaper than a new boardwalk
- 11 years old
- heavier than the Boardway
- Used
- It's old and probably bulkier than the boardwalk?
I'll say if you don't care about the 3-sp, get the boardwalk, otherwise see if you get the seller to lower the price a bit. Don't forget the stowaway comes with a bag, which maybe worth $20-$25? It's another story if you don't care about the bag.
I just noticed that he says he has 2 stowaway??
A con for me on these classic dahons are the steel rims
and crankset. I think the crankset is steel, not sure.
I do love the looks, a guy in my office building rides one every day.
One Chinese Bicycle
One China
Maybe the Dahon dream on ebay would be a good curve replacement --- I just ordered one for precisely that reason. It is 6 speed, $320, item # 320301068444.
Though PB's website says that the red D3s are in as of 9/15. I found one for 480 on safetycycle.
cons is because steel is heavy, steel rims also don't brake as well in wet weather.
steel wheels also are harder to true, I wouldn't mess around with that.
I think the New Dahon boardwalk has alloy rims and alloy crankset. (because I wanted to get one)
their hubs may be steel but I don't think so.
I worked in a small office building, 14 stories, mainly non-profits, the building rules
are much more lax than a giant corporate building with x-rays and such.

There's a couple of places in NY that stock the 2007 Curve D3 for about 350. I got one, and am enjoying the little bike immensely.
though the link to HT660 doesn't work.
Here are some pictures:
I ordered the white.
If I were shopping for a 20", I would have had plenty of choices, including a $350 Mariner which I enjoyed riding. I listed those in another thread "Kents, again". Unfortunately 20" is too big for me to carry. I'm only 62" tall myself. If it were a car folder, I would have definitely considered the Mariner.
I can honestly say that the new store in Dayton has a great staff. I realize that Performance is an easy target for a lot of folks, but I've got no complains. They recently provided support for our local mountain bike races; one of their staff is one of the fastest advancing women's racer in the state; the manager is a professional bike fitter. Good people, all of them. Yep, no complains at all.....

Real Crazy Party
If you're a fan of MTV's Real World, you're aware that the show's Austin permutation just isn't as scandalous as seasons past.
But hey, the show has had its moments. So what have we learned from our young RW friends Wes, Melinda, Nehemia, Johanna, Danny, Rachel and Lacey? For starters, we've learned that Melinda and Rachel are a lot of fun in a hot tub (yow!). We've also learned that a shit-faced Johanna can be a real pain in the ass -- like when she tripped out on Nehemia at a bar and caused him to storm off, which prompted Wes and Danny to follow him, which in turn spurred a street brawl that demolished Danny's face (oh, the drama!).
Yep, Melinda's freaky and Johanna's a mess, and you can buy them both drinks and watch the insanity when they join Danny at Pink Monkey this weekend for the Real World Austin Party. "We're gonna get a little crazy," says Zack Truesdell, Pink Monkey's owner. "They'll be bartending and judging a wet T-shirt contest. We may even have them pour the water on the girls. Hopefully, Melinda will be in the wet T-shirt contest. Heh."
It's a reunion of sorts for the Real World crew and Truesdell, who regularly welcomed them to his Austin club, The Drink, and thus has some dirt on them -- especially the guys. "They were trying to get laid all the time, and it wasn't working. You don't see them hook up with hot chicks on the show," he says. "If you're on The Real World, and have a Real World suite and can't get laid in two months, that's pretty damn weak. That's pretty gameless."

Take it easy, Zack! Maybe the guys had other things on their minds. Danny just lost his mom. And Wes, er, had to comfort him. And Nehemia, um was focused on his film career. Whatev.
Of course, no one can argue that the ladies are scandalous. So head to Pink Monkey to see if Melinda will make out with a random female. Oh, and a word of advice: If you're planning to buy Johanna a drink, um, you better watch your face.

injuries from crash
QUECHEE A New Hampshire woman involved in a head-on crash in Quechee on a dangerous stretch of Route 4 has died.
The crash happened last Thursday on Route 4, near exit one on Interstate 89.
Police said 72-year-old Ingrid Neuwirt of West Lebanon was driving when she crossed the center line and crashed into 43-year-old Shirley Adams of White River Junction.
Police said Neuwirt died Monday.
Police say five people have died on this stretch of Route 4 since March.
On Friday, Gov. Peter Shumlin announced a series of safety improvements for the road, including an immediate repaving and installation of rumble stripes and long-term plans to rebuild it.

Respond to Review of CLOSED: Veged out
by MrDavey
Review: I've only been here once and had the breakfast, it's in an odd location and a bit tricky to find if you don't know where you're going but once you're inside it's quite nice. I had the breakfast which was really good and filling, you get big portions and loads for your money, tea/coffee, orange juice or apple juice and the full breakfast (big portions) for £5. The staff were very friendly and helpful. As always would prefer if it were 100% vegan, but definitely heading in the right direction! Would recommend this place and I will definitely go again.

Mackenzie shooting the canon off the Jolly Rodney!
But first – breakfast! This morning we had french toast! It's been a long time french toast and boy have I missed you!
Can you spy my Italian study stack? Yeah, probably time to put that away…
Today being the original due date for little Jackson, we wanted close to home but still get out of the house and have some fun. Because yesterday's dinner had put us in close proximity to Country Village, we decided that we'd be coming back today for some pirate ship play, train rides and chicken feeding.
Country Village is this adorable little shopping center in Bothell that is super kid friendly, all within a cottage garden setting.
I love it for the antique stores, little boutiques and good restaurants. Mackenzie loves it because it's train themed and has a big pirate ship at the play ground. They also have a coffee shop which features a train table among other things. While Country Village is within twenty minutes from our house, I sometimes wish it was closer. The coffee shop alone is such a perfect solution for mom's everywhere – coffee, healthy snacks and a great play space. Combine that with all the outdoor activities, like feeding the ducks and chickens, riding the train and playing on the play ground and you've got an entire day worth of things to do all in one place. It's seriously one of my favorite places, in case that hasn't already come across.
While the boys played at the coffee shop, I picked up a few items from Stampin in the Rain (one of the shops in the village) for a project I'm working on.
When it was time for lunch we decided to grab pizza and salad from Pagliacci's and head to St Edward State Park, where they have the most awesome playground. There's also a bunch of cool trails here and a short hike down to Lake Washington – but we didn't have time for all that today. Hopefully, we'll be back soon!
Now, we've got a couple of errands to run before heading to the beach house for dinner with the fam! I'm hoping to head down to the beach, it's been a while since I've actually gone down to the water.
If you haven't been to Country Village or St Edwards, I highly recommend both.

This month we examine the Democracy Player and Gshare file sharing. We also round up the latest Debian News.
TV has achieved enormous audience penetration because it makes no demands on the user. Turning on a TV set is unlikely to be a challenge for most viewers. The problem is that broadcasting a TV program is well beyond the technical, financial, and legal means of a private person; in other words, the medium relies on a heavily biased hierarchy. The good news is that today's broadband Internet connections give private persons and small organizations the ability to deliver their own television-style content to private households.

Anti-Israel protest at Timberwolves-Haifa game leads to assault allegation [VIDEO]
A pro-Palestinian group isn't happy the Wolves hosted an Israeli opponent.
Last night, the Timberwolves hosted Maccabi Haifa B.C., a professional basketball team from Haifa, Israel, for an exhibition game at the Target Center.
SEE ALSO: Andrew Zimmern and Sameh Wadi in political Twitter spat
Here it is:
The man shown getting pushed around is local attorney Jordan Kushner, who was characterized by the Star Tribune in 2010 as "the go-to attorney for Twin Cities protest groups taking on the establishment." According to one of Kushner's colleagues, after the camera stopped rolling, he was ejected from the game, issued a citation, and told he'd be receiving a ticket in the mail.
A local group called Minnesota Break the Bonds Campaign organized the T-Wolves game protest. On October 12, Break the Bonds, along with 100 organizations from around the world, sent a letter to each T-Wolves player asking them "to boycott the exhibition game against Maccabi-Haifa, the Israeli team that you are scheduled to play next Tuesday."
"Israel is committing grave human rights abuses involving an elaborate system of racial apartheid which discriminates against the native Palestinians in violation of international law," the letter continues. "Israel's abuses have been confirmed by the United Nations Security Council and the International Court of Justice."
Click to page two to read a press release distributed this morning by Minnesota Break the Bonds that discusses the incident.
A call to the Timberwolves seeking comment wasn't returned. We've also reached out to the MPD for their take on the incident, and will let you know what they have to say if and when they get back to us.
[Minneapolis] Following in the footsteps of the sports boycott of South Africa that contributed to the demise of apartheid, approximately 20 protesters advocating for human rights for Palestinians made their presence known at the Tuesday night Minnesota Timberwolves game against Maccabi-Haifa. Palestinian flags and banners calling for a boycott of Israeli apartheid were displayed and anti-apartheid chants were heard throughout the Target Center minutes into the game clearly catching the attention of the players.
As the banners were unfurled, Target Center security accompanied by Minneapolis Police began ejecting most of the protesters who were waving Palestinian flags and the anti-apartheid banners which were equivalent in size as those waved by pro-Israel counter-protesters, who were not ejected. An experienced legal observer and civil rights attorney who attempted to film the actions of a Target security guard was assaulted by a Target security supervisor, placed under arrest by an accompanying police officer and ejected with the promise of prosecution. Several persons were witness to the incident, which was also filmed by a protester.
The game was preceded by a letter to each of the Timberwolves players signed by over 100 worldwide human rights organizations requesting that the players boycott the exhibition game against the Israeli team. In addition, hundreds of individuals added their support to this letter through an online petition, tweeting, and Facebook. The organizations, which include church, veteran, women, student and lawyer groups, have all signed onto the Palestinian Civil Society call for boycott, divestment and sanctions against Israel until Israel complies with international law and ends its human rights abuses against Palestinians.
According to the letter, the Israeli government sends cultural ambassadors, like the Maccabi-Haifa team, to Europe and the United States to present Israel as a "normal" society for the purpose of whitewashing its human rights and international law violations which include discriminatory laws and a system of apartheid.

Changing diaper in car!
I have changed my LO in the front passenger seat, with the AC high in his face when he was only a month old, with triple digits!! We live in Phoenix, and it is now starting to cool down. I don't think I would do that in the summer again! But he had a great time I'm sure! Just not mommy!
Married 9/6/2008
Together we made a wonderful & handsome baby boy, born on 5/14/2012!
My LO is too long to change in the back seat any more, so we change him in the back cargo area in my Explorer.

I always put something down under my daughter in case of blow outs even at home when I know she has leaked through diaper. You can get some incontinence pads for cheap that will do the trick. They're cheaper than the huggies changing disposable pads.

In my opinion, there's no question that Miles Davis' Kind of Blue is the most influential jazz recording in history. And the fact that it
In my opinion, there's no question that Miles Davis' Kind of Blue is the most influential jazz recording in history. And the fact that it was recorded in just two days is beyond impressive. The first time I heard the album at 12-years-old, it totally shifted my interest in music. I fell asleep to it almost every night as a kid and have sensory relations to the album even as I type right now.
To date, I've got at least three copies on CD (including the one I purchased in Toronto at 12), two digital copies, and original vinyl. I've been listening to Columbia's 50th Anniversary Collector's Edition at the office for the past few hours and I recommend anyone else who owns any version of Kind of Blue to put it on this evening. Sure, the 50th anniversary of its release on August 17, 1959 shouldn't be the only reason that people play the compositions on that classic album, but if you ever needed a prodding to play some Miles during dinner, or while surfing the web or doing laundry, let this be it. For a good read on the impact of Kind of Blue, check out jazz writer W. Kim Heron's piece from earlier today over at the Detroit Metro Times. Frank Kaplan also goes long on the subject at Slate. And after the jump, there's a great video describing the making of Kind of Blue featuring Jimmy Cobb, the lone member left of that classic Miles Davis Quartet.

The Lost World of British Tape Recording Clubs
A few years ago radio producer Mark Vernon bought a hoard of old reel-to-reel audio tapes in a car boot sale in Derby, as a job lot with an elderly and very heavy tape recorder. Coaxing the old machine back to life, he realised he had rescued the jettisoned archive of the Derby Tape Club—a group of amateurs who made, played and swapped recordings in the 1960s and 70s, when domestic tape-recording was in its infancy and before the audio cassette had conquered the world. A radiophonic elegy to an anonymous group of people and their forgotten enthusiasm: domestic tape recording and amateur radio in the 1960s and '70s.Over the years, Vernon has acquired other archives and put together radio shows, oral histories, and a compilation CD. Listen to the lost sound-scapes of The Leicester tape recording club; the Nottingham Cooperative tape recording club; and the London tape recording club [Breakdown here]. [more inside]

"The signs on the doors are excessively polite, and use outmoded words such as 'kindly' and 'residing'. 'Kindly do not deliver items for Mr and Mrs [...] to this address as they are no longer residing here.' But it is the doorbell etiquette that is most enraging, and instructions that 'for all collections and deliveries please press the housekeeper's button only' incite a sudden surge of anarchic rage and a desire to ring all the other bells simultaneously – summoning the chef/kitchen, the residence and the caretaker."

Bonobo, inspired by beautiful hip-hop, London scenes, and a tumble dryer
From the rather common "skate punk into alternative music" origins to a bedroom producer who signed with Ninja Tune, Bonobo, the stage name for Simon Green, has continued to change musically. From the lone musician who made sample-based music, he has expanded into working with field recordings, studio musicians, and live shows where the band took a four bar drum break transformed it into a seven minute epic drum-sax solo battle, to which the crowd tried to clap along.

"the freedom to make and remake our cities"
Today, we've been so inculcated with fear and distracted by obligations and consumer junk, we can't even be bothered to ask why numerous miles of warm, fluorescently lit tunnels under Chancery Lane are laying mothballed while people with no homes freeze to death on the streets above them – forced to sleep in hypothermic conditions by anti-homeless spikes installed on ledges outside shops, luxury flats and offices.Urban explorer Bradley Garrett goes spelunking below the streets of London to show the importance of urban explorers in discovering the true shape of the city.

"distinctly queer and contemporary, as if retrofitting a classic car"
"Longings and Desires", a Slate.com book review by Amanda Katz:
[Sarah] Waters, who was born in Wales in 1966, has carved out an unusual spot in fiction. Her six novels, beginning with Tipping the Velvet in 1998, could be called historical fiction, but that doesn't begin to capture their appeal. It is closer to say that she is creating pitch-perfect popular fiction of an earlier time, but swapping out its original moral engine for a sensibility that is distinctly queer and contemporary, as if retrofitting a classic car.[more inside]
Her books offer something like an alternate reality—a literary one, if not a historical one. There may have been lesbian male impersonators working the London music halls in the 1890s, as in Tipping the Velvet, but there were certainly not mainstream novels devoted to their inner lives and sexual exploits. Waters gives such characters their say in books that imitate earlier crowd-pleasers in their structure, slang, and atmosphere, but that are powered by queer longing, defiant identity politics, and lusty, occasionally downright kinky sex. (An exception is her last novel, The Little Stranger.) The most masterful of these books so far is Fingersmith, a Wilkie Collins-esque tale full of genuinely shocking twists (thieves, double-crossing, asylums, mistaken identity, just go read it). The saddest is The Night Watch, a tale told in reverse of a group of entwined characters during and after World War II. But among many readers she is still most beloved for Tipping the Velvet, a deliriously paced coming-of-age story that is impossible to read in public without blushing.
Dead swathes of zombie town
In superheated London, where stratospheric land values beget accordingly bloated developments – authorities are allowing planning policies to be continually flouted, affordable housing quotas to be waived, height limits breached, the interests of residents endlessly trampled. Places are becoming ever meaner and more divided, as public assets are relentlessly sold off, entire council estates flattened to make room for silos of luxury safe-deposit boxes in the sky. We are replacing homes with investment units, to be sold overseas and never inhabited, substituting community for vacancy. The more we build, the more our cities are emptied, producing dead swathes of zombie town where the lights might never even be switched on.The Guardian's architecture and design critic Oliver Wainright discusses housing development policy in London and the new city it is ushering in.

"Eating and walking is a false economy, time-wise"
How to eat: burritos
"It may be categorised as 'street food', but eating a burrito while walking is hazardous. We've all been there: you take a bite from one side of the burrito, which leaves a quivering 'lip' of rice-loaded tortilla on the other, and, like a slow-motion shot in the world's most boring action film, it falls to the ground or down your shirt, before you can whip your head down and around to snaffle it to safety. Then there is the issue of leakage from the bottom of a too-loosely-twisted foil wrap, and also the delicate procedure of prising that, by now sopping wet, last mouthful from the final cup of foil – itself now overflowing with juices – and transferring it to your mouth without any spillage. It's a task that requires focus and concentration. You walk with a burrito once, twice maybe, before you either a) get knocked-down on a busy road or b) realise – standing outside the pub trying to wipe meat juices off your trainers with an old tissue – that eating and walking is a false economy, time-wise.[more inside]
AM/FM - the story of London's pirate radio stations
A hard stare from a public bench bear
"London has become a literary playground: a project by the National Literacy Trust has scattered 50 book-shaped benches across the capital for the whole summer, each dedicated to an iconic London-related author or character." (The Guardian). The BBC report about the literary benches; the full list of benches from the Books about Town website. CNN has a slideshow that includes a nice photo of the Paddington Bear bench in use.
The gods are trying to tell the truth but the truth is hard to say
Brand New Ancients is a spoken word performance (review) by poet, singer and playwright Kate Tempest that won the Ted Hughes Award For New Poetry in 2012. Early this year, to coincide with a wider tour of the show, Kate Tempest and the Battersea Arts Centre produced three short films based on the performance. One. Two. Three (trigger warning, as this one is terrifying).

Real Estate Goes Global
We're all familiar with the stories of Russian oligarchs buying up mansions in London, but this is a much broader phenomenon. A torrent of capital from wealthy people in emerging markets—from China, above all, but also from Latin America, Russia, and the Middle East—has flowed into the real-estate markets of big cities in other countries, driving up prices and causing a luxury-construction boom. ... The globalization of real estate upends some of our basic assumptions about housing prices. We expect them to reflect local fundamentals—above all, how much people earn. In a truly global market, that may not be the case.James Surowiecki writing in the New Yorker on the rise of a truly global market in real estate.
Grime Int'l: a few of the current grime musicians from around the world

The poet who vanished
The poet Rosemary Tonks turned her back on the literary world in the mid-1970s, leaving behind her a handful of strange and brilliant poems and a small band of devoted admirers who longed to know what had happened to her. For forty years she disappeared completely, 'evaporated into air like the Cheshire Cat', as Brian Patten remarked in a 2009 BBC documentary, The Poet Who Vanished. Now, with news of her death at the age of 85, the story of her life is starting to emerge.

Cool London is dead, proclaims the Telegraph
Decaying London properties of the rich, and otherwise.

Street life in the Great Wen
If you don't like Marcellus Laroon's pictures of London street life in the late 1600s, perhaps Thomas Rowlandson's "Characteristic Sketches of the Lower Orders" from 1820 are more to your liking. Moving up in society, take a look at what the fat cat bankers of 1824 wore, courtesy of Richard Dighton and contrast them with the costumes of the lower orders as depicted by T. L. Busby in the same year. All found at the Spitalfields Life blog, which has an uncanny knack for finding these extraordinary depictions of London street life in previous centuries.
London Calling
Britain will betray the United States and Ukraine to keep laundering dirty Russian money. "The city has changed. The buses are still dirty, the people are still passive-aggressive, but something about London has changed. You can see signs of it everywhere. The townhouses in the capital's poshest districts are empty; they have been sold to Russian oligarchs and Qatari princes."

text: Let me start by telling my story. On March 24th I got a positive pregnancy test. I was not due to start until the 29th. I had been spotting for 5 days, and been feeling nauseous for a few days. I called my dr and was told to come right in. They comfirmed the pregnancy. By the 27th the spotting had not stopped and had become red. My dr advised I go to the er to get checked. When we went they did an ultrasound and confirmed me to be about 4 weeks. Yolk sac was attached and looked good. My hgc was over 12000. They also checked and said my cervix was closed. I had some large clots while there and they diagnosed me as threatened abortion. Well, on April 2 I went in to see my ob and after doing a vaginal ultrasound said all I had was an empty sac. Sad but not shocked (because the spotting never stopped) she sent me home with cytotec to clear out the sac. That afternoon I took them (3 200mg) orally. I had some cramping but nothing bad for a few hours, and a little heavy bleeding. I am still spotting just like before and the nausea is worse. I feel sick all day. I go back to the dr on the 8th for another check and blood work. Anyone else gone through this? Why is the nausea worse? Thanks in advance
