Their Eyes Were Watching God
by Zora Neale Hurston
Their Eyes Were Watching God Janie Crawford Quotes
Quote 4
[Janie:] "But Ah ain't goin' outa here and Ah ain't gointuh hush. Naw, you gointuh listen tuh me one time befo' you die. Have yo' way all yo' life, trample and mash down and then die ruther than tuh let yo'self heah 'bout it. Listen, Jody, you ain't de Jody ah run off down de road wid. You'se whut's left after he died. Ah run off tuh keep house wid you in uh wonderful way. But you wasn't satisfied wid me de way Ah was. Naw! Mah own mind had tuh be squeezed and crowded out tuh make room for yours in me. " (8.39)
Janie makes plain to Joe one way that men try to keep women down—by silencing their voices (often by speaking louder than their women or ignoring their pleas). Because a person's words are a direct product of their mind, Janie recognizes that Joe's attempts to silence her are an intrusion on her very thoughts.
Quote 5
[Janie to Tea Cake:] "If it wuz me, Ah'd wait on uh train. Seben miles is uh kinda long walk."
"It would be for you, 'cause you ain't used to it. But Ah'm seen women walk further'n dat. You could too, if yuh had it tuh do." (10.44-45)
Janie seems to some extent to see herself as Joe intended—weak and incapable as a woman. Tea Cake sets to work undoing some of the damage Joe has done, assuring Janie that she is stronger than she thinks. To reinforce the idea, he tells her of other women he has seen walk seven full miles.
Quote 6
[Janie after Tea Cake has stolen her money and disappeared:] Way late in the morning the thought of Annie Tyler and Who Flung came to pay her a visit. Annie Tyler who at fifty-two had been left a widow with a good home and insurance money.
Mrs. Tyler with her dyed hair, newly straightened and her uncomfortable new false teeth, her leathery skin, blotchy with powder and giggle. Her love affairs, affairs with boys in their late teens or early twenties for all of whom she spent her money on suits of clothes, shoes, watches and things like that and how they all left her as soon as their wants were satisfied. Then when her ready cash was gone, had come Who Flung to denounce his predecessor as a scoundrel and took up around the house himself. It was he who persuaded her to sell her house and come to Tampa with him. The town had seen her limp off. The under-sized high-heel slippers were punishing her tired feet that looked like bunions all over. Her body squeezed and crowded into a tight corset that shoved her middle up under her chin. But she had gone off laughing and sure. As sure as Janie had been.
Then two weeks later the porter and conductor of the north bound local had helped her off the train at Maitland. Hair all gray and black and bluish and reddish in streaks. All the capers that cheap dye could cut was showing in her hair. Those slippers bent and griped just like her work-worn feet. The corset gone and the shaking old woman hanging all over herself. Everything that you could see was hanging. Her chin hung from her ears and rippled down her neck like drapes. Her hanging bosom and stomach and buttocks and legs that draped down over her ankles. She groaned but never giggled.
She was broken and her pride was gone, so she told those who asked what had happened. Who Flung had taken her to a shabby room in a shabby house in a shabby street and promised to marry her next day. They stayed in the room two whole days then she woke up to find Who Flung and her money gone. She got up to stir around and see if she could find him, and found herself too worn out to do much. All she found out was that she was too old a vessel for new wine…. (13.10-13)
This passage is particularly illustrative of the popular idea that women are all artifice and no substance. Annie Tyler uses her money to make herself look pretty in her old, decrepit age. But events work to reveal her true state, one in which "everything…was hanging," a state that decidedly lacks any pride or dignity. However, this passage condemns the shameless deception of young men, manipulating older women just to get their money and a night of pleasure. This passage shows the faults of both genders.

Shimon Peres is one of Israel's longest serving and most distinguished politicians. He is also the first person to have served as both Prime Minister and President of the Jewish State.
Peres (born August 2, 1923) was born in Wieniawa, Poland (now Vishniev in Belarus) and immigrated to Mandatory Palestine with his family at the age of eleven. He grew up in Tel
Aviv and attended the agricultural high school at Ben Shemen.
Peres spent several years in Kibbutz Geva and Kibbutz
Alumot, of which he was one of the founders, and in 1943 was elected
Secretary of the Labor-Zionist youth movement. In 1944, he returned
to Kibbutz Alumot, where he worked as a farmer and shepherd.
In 1947, after having been conscripted by David
Ben-Gurion and Levi Eshkol to the Haganah Defense Forces, Shimon Peres was assigned responsibility for manpower
and arms, an activity which he continued during the early part of Israel's War of Independence. A year
later, in 1948, Shimon Peres was appointed head of Israel's navy and at war's end, assumed the position of Director of the Defense Ministry's
delegation in the United States. While in the United States, he studied
at the New-York School for Social Research and at Harvard.
In 1953, at the age of 29, Peres was appointed by Prime
Minister David Ben-Gurion to the post of Director General of the Defense Ministry, a position
he held until 1959. During that period, he shaped the special relations
between Israel and France,
and established Israel's electronic aircraft industries, as well as
its nuclear program.
In 1956, Shimon Peres masterminded the Sinai
In 1959, Peres was elected to Israel's parliament,
the Knesset, and remained
a member until elected President in June 2007. From that year, and until 1965, he served as Deputy
Defense Minister. In 1965, together with David
Ben-Gurion, he left the Mapai Labor Party and became Secretary General of Rafi (Israel Workers List). In 1967, he was instrumental in forming a union
between Rafi and Mapai, giving birth to the Labor Party.
In 1969, Shimon Peres became Minister of Immigrant
Absorption, as well as undertaking responsibility for the development
of the occupied territories. From 1970 to 1974, he served as Minister
of Transport and Communications. In 1974, after acting for a period
of time as Minister of Information under Golda
Meir's government, Peres was appointed Minister of Defense, replacing Moshe Dayan, a position
he held until 1977.
While Minister of Defense, he revitalized and strengthened
the Israel Defense
Forces, and participated in the negotiations of the second interim agreement with Egypt. He was behind
the 1976 Entebbe rescue
operation and authored the "Good Fence" concept, promoting
positive relations with residents of southern Lebanon.
Peres briefly served as Acting Prime Minister following
the resignation of Prime Minister Rabin in 1977. Following the defeat of the Labor
Party in the 1977 general elections - after thirty years of political
hegemony - Peres was elected party chairman, a post he held until 1992.
During this period he was also elected Vice President of the Socialist
Peres proposed the establishment of a National Unity
Government after the 1984 elections. Peres served two non-consecutive
terms as Prime Minister.
His first tenure was from 1984 to 1986, based on a rotation arrangement
with Likud leader Yitzhak
Shamir. From 1986 to 1988, he served as Deputy Prime Minister and
Minister of Foreign Affairs, and from November 1988 until the dissolution
of the National Unity Government in 1990 - as Deputy Prime Minister
and Minister of Finance. He focused his energies on the failing economy and on the complex situation resulting from the 1982 war
in Lebanon. He succeeded in enlisting the support of the Histadrut for the difficult steps needed to reduce the annual inflation rate from 400% to 16%. Peres was also instrumental in the withdrawal
of troops from Lebanon and the establishment of a narrow security zone
in southern Lebanon.
After the return to power of the Labor
Party as a result of the 1992 elections, Shimon Peres was once again
appointed Minister of Foreign Affairs. He initiated and conducted the negotiations that led to the
signing of the Declaration of Principles with the PLO in September
1993 - which won him the 1994 Nobel
Peace Prize, together with Rabin and Arafat. Further negotiations
with the Palestinians brought about Israeli withdrawal from Gaza and some areas of Judea and Samaria and the establishment of limited Palestinian autonomy, as decided in
the Interim Agreement.
In October 1994, the Treaty
of Peace with Jordan was signed. Peres subsequently strove to promote
relations with additional Arab
countries in North Africa and the Persian Gulf - part of his vision
of a "New Middle East."
Peres' second term as Prime Minister came in the wake
of the assassination of Yitzhak Rabin on November
4, 1995. The Labor Party chose Peres as Rabin's successor, and the Knesset confirmed the decision with a vote of confidence, supported by both
coalition and opposition members.
Following the assassination of the late Prime Minister
Yitzhak Rabin on November 5, 1995, Shimon Peres became Prime Minister
and Minister of Defense (November 1995), continuing to serve in this
capacity for seven months, until the May 1996 elections. During this
trying period, Peres strove to maintain the momentum in the peace process,
despite a wave of terrorist attacks by Palestinian suicide
bombers against Israeli civilians.
In 1996, he founded The
Peres Center for Peace. The Center's mission is to help build an
infrastructure for peace by and for the people of the Middle East that
promotes socio-economic development, while advancing cooperation and
mutual understanding. These goals are pursued by developing joint, cooperative
projects between Israeli and Arab partners in the fields of economy,
culture, education, healthcare, agriculture and media.
Peres continued to serve as chairman of the Labor
Party for a year after the party's election defeat until June 1997 when former Chief-of-Staff and Labor Member
of Knesset, Ehud Barak, was
elected chairman of the Labor Party.
From 1996 to 1999, Peres served as a member of the Knesset
Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee and in 1999 he was also made Honorary
President of the Socialist International. Peres served as Minister of Regional Cooperation from
July 1999 until March 2001 when he was appointed Minister
of Foreign Affairs and Deputy Prime Minister in the National Unity government
headed by Ariel Sharon,
serving until October 2002 when he resigned together with the other
Labor ministers.
In January 2005, Shimon
Peres was appointed Vice Premier. In November 2005, Peres
was defeated by Amir
Peretz in an election
for the leadership of the Labor
Party. Peres
subsequently announced
he was quitting the party after more than
60 years to help Prime Minister Ariel
Sharon pursue peace
with the Palestinians. Prior to the elections to the 17th
Knesset, Peres joined the newly
founded Kadima. In May 2006 Shimon Peres was appointed
Vice Prime Minister, Minister for the Development of
the Negev and Galillee.
On June 13, 2007, the Knesset elected Shimon Peres to serve as the Ninth President of Israel for a seven year term, marking the first time in the nation's history that a former Prime Minister was also elected as President.
Exactly five years later, on June 13, 2012, US President Barack Obama awarded Peres with the "Presidential Medal of Freedom," the United States' highest civilian honor, for his "meritorious contributions to world peace."
Shimon Peres has authored ten books, including The
Next Step (1965); David's
Sling; Entebbe Diary (1991), The
New Middle East, For
the Future of Israel and Battling
for Peace; A Memoir. Peres is married to Sonya (born Gelman) and
has a daughter (Zvia), two sons (Yonathan and Nehemia) and six grandchildren.

This game is essentially the same as Ravensburger's 'Up the River (UtR)' with a few variations. The die is replaced with tiles drawn from a bag and the scoring is a little more balanced.
The tile drawing either lets you move in the same ways as UtR (some number of spaces or up to your farthest piece) or moves the desert tile so you fall back away from the oasis. This is a little more interesting than UtR because the moving of the tiles is random instead of once per round.
The scoring is done by four groups of four random scoring discs that are earned as you finish. The first four are higher than the next four and so on. You don't look at your score until the end so it can be hard to tell who is really winning.
We have a lot of fun with it especially my almost 7-year old.

For those fans of the Mitsubishi Evolution X, this week's #TechThursday piece features a short shift install. The Evo X is a beast of a machine with it's powerful 2.0-liter, 4-cylinder turbocharged engine, however like any factory vehicle it lacks refinement for endless thrashing be it on the street or race track. A simple swap of the long-throw shifter in way of a short-throw piece from TWM Performance will turn the spirited Evolution into a menacing one cutting down the throw by as much as 30% if not more! The overall install is a one-hour job that takes patience more than skill as there are many pieces to the disassemble and re-assemble unlike the previous tech install on the 370Z. Follow these step by step guidelines and you'll soon be banging gears quicker than your competitors!
Tools Required:
- Flat head screw driver
- Philips head screw driver
- Rubber mallet
- Flash light
- Needle nose pliers
- Socket set with rachet (8mm, 10mm, 12mm, and 14mm)
- Bench / bench vise (suggested)
- White lithium grease
Step 1: Unscrew shift knob
– Rotate the shift knob counter-clockwise until loose, then place in a secure location.
Step 2A: Remove center console
– Remove all flaps and loose items in and around the center console area.
– Using some manual force, push in the center console so as to dislodge the overlapping clips from each other and pull up / away or use needle nose pliers.
*Note: Removal of some cables like the cigarette lighter and light will be required. Simply use manual force and release the tab-style connectors.
Step 2B: Unscrew center console
– Using socket remove the bolts securing the center console where the arm rest is.
– Using a Philips screwdriver, remove the two (2) screws directly behind the shifter.
Step 2C: Remove entire center console area
– With the bolts / screws removed from the center console, remove the entire center console from the car and put in a secure location so as not to damage any tabs.
Step 3: Remove factory shifter from shifter cage assembly
– Using a flat head screw driver, pry off any cables from the shifter assembly.
– With the same flat head screw driver, pry off the two (2) metal clips securing the horizontal pins of the shifter cage. Cutting the metal clips might be required although not mandatory.
– Using a screw driver, push the horizontal pins out freeing not only the shifter from the cage, but the triangular plastic piece on the left side whereby a spring is attached.
– With the pins removed, remove the shifter from the cage assembly.
*Note: Be careful when dis-assembly of this unit as there are a handful of small pieces which could get lost.
Step 4: Comparison and prep work of new TWM Performance EVO X short shifter
– Place the OEM Mitsubishi EVO X shifter next to the aftermarket piece from TWM Performance. It is simple to see the drastic difference from the shape and short length.
– Make sure the new TWM Performance shifter is cleaned and ready for preparation.
Step 5A: Preparation of TWM Performance short shifter
– Using the supplied "Cup Remover Tool" it is recommended to use a vice to secure the factory shifter in order to remove the plastic cup. Overall, this process is fairly simple and easy to do by hand.
Step 5B: Preparation of TWM Performance short shifter
– Apply white lithium grease to the base of the ball on the bottom of the TWM Performance short shifter and re-install the OEM shifter plastic cap.
*Note: Some manual force might be required for this, but be sure to place the unit on a bench covered by a shop towel so as not to damage any parts.
Step 6: Installation of the TWM Performance short shifter
– Apply white lithium grease to the ball of the short shifter before installation.
– Gently guide the shifter into the factory location with the plastic cup portion secured to the shifter linkage at the bottom.
– Replace the secure plastic cap above and press down until in place.
Step 7A: Re-assembly of the shifter cage assembly
– Re-install the spring for the triangular plastic piece.
– Using one hand to secure it to the cage assembly, slide the horizontal pins in by hand until snug.
Step 7B: Re-assembly of the shifter cage assembly
– Using a rubber mallet, gently tap the pin until fully secured in the factory location of the cage assembly.
– Secure the lose shifter linkage (as seen at the bottom of the triangular plastic piece) onto the pin by hand.
Step 8: Secure pins in the shifter cage assembly
– By hand, install the push-style clip on both pins (with the larger piece on the larger pin and the smaller piece on the smaller pin).
– Use a 14mm socket to install the 10mm push-style clip on the larger pin.
– Use an 8mm socket to install the 4mm push-style clip on the smaller pin.
Step 9A: Installation of shifter assembly bushings (Optional)
– Using a 12mm socket and ratchet, unbolt the four bolts securing the assembly to the vehicle's floor.
Step 9B: Installation of shifter assembly bushings (Optional)
– Lift the shifter assembly and use a flat head screw driver to push the steel sleeves (see inset photo with OEM next to the supplied bushing).
– Replace the steel bushing with the ones supplied from TWM Performance by simply dropping them in.
– Secure the shifter assembly with a 12mm socket and ratchet.
Step 10: Re-assemble the center console
– Following Step 2 (see above) re-assemble the center console piece by piece, secure the clips together and all fasteners.
– Re-install shift knob on the TWM Performance Evolution X short shifter.
– Test the shifter by going through the entire gear set.
Note: Be sure to check that all hardware has been installed and tools are accounted for.
The TWM Performance short shift kit for the Evolution X took just over an hour to install from start to finish. For the cost of $184.95 USD (TWM Performance EVO X Short Shifter) and hour-long install, replacing one's factory shifter setup is a must-have modification for anyone looking to get an edge in both performance and esthetics. In addition, TWM Performance offers a complete bushing replacement kit for the base, cable, and transmission arm for a small fee – something that is a must-have for any weekend track enthusiast.

'Barney's Version': Paul Giamatti on Working With Dustin Hoffman
At the just-opened Venice International Film Festival, the movie "Barney's Version" is expected to be one of the leading contenders to win the highest award, the Golden Lion. The film adaptation of Canadian author Mordecai Richler's acclaimed 1997 novel is a satirical memoir of one Barney Panofsky, a cigar-chomping, hockey-obsessing, skirt-chasing, health food-disdaining, hard-drinking, misanthropic TV producer.
The film is a freewheeling ride through Barney's expatriate escapades in Europe and subsequent three marriages, richly-textured friendships and complicated relationships with his father and son.
Paul Giamatti is Barney; Dustin Hoffman portrays Barney's even-more-politically incorrect father, Jake Hoffman (Dustin Hoffman's real-life son) portrays Barney's son and Rosamund Pike plays Barney's third wife.
Speakeasy spoke to Paul Giamatti in New York, Rosamund Pike from her holiday in Greece and producer Robert Lantos from his offices in Toronto.
We asked Giamatti–an Oscar nominee ("Cinderella Man"), Golden Globe nominee ("Sideways") and Emmy winner ("John Adams")–about his approach to working on a scene. "I wish I could claim I had any approach to working on a scene," he said. "Hoffman definitely did. He's deeply exploratory of a scene; he likes to rehearse a lot. He said to me several times, 'If I could just always rehearse, I would. I would just rehearse and rehearse and never actually have to shoot it' because it's fun to just keep exploring."
"He was constantly wondering 'where does the scene go?'" Giamatti said of his co-star. "I guess he's sort of an Actors Studio guy….I'd describe it as being like Picasso, a Cubist painting of the scene, it would get very fragmented and he'd go back a lot and review something from a different angle."
Hoffman was very approachable between takes. "He's a raconteur," Giamatti said. "He's very lively and accessible; a jokester. He sees part of his job as keeping everybody very engaged and having a good time."
Giamatti earned his M.F.A. from Yale School of Drama and as an undergraduate, studied 19th century American literature ("Poe, Hawthorne, Melville. I like inhabiting historical roles, period stuff; I suppose it comes from reading all that 19th century lit"). His late father, Angelo "Bart" Giamatti, was a comparative literature professor and then President of Yale, and later, Commissioner of Major League Baseball. We asked Giamatti if he drew on his relationship with his father in his scenes with Hoffman's Izzy.
"Probably unconsciously in some ways, yes," he said. "But [Izzy] is a different kind of guy, a different kind of relationship. I had a good relationship with my dad and this guy does too. Part of it is really liking the other actor, who is about the same age my dad would be if he were alive. And there was the paternal aspect in that I was also learning from the other actor."
Miriam, the love of Barney's life, is portrayed by Pike, who also starred in "The Libertine," "Pride and Prejudice" and "An Education."
"Miriam is one of those women we all wish we were…she acts entirely honorably all the time," Pike says. "She meets Barney on his wedding night to another woman [Minnie Driver] and he exhibits the most romantic fervor. He leaves his own wedding – they've had one conversation — and chases Miriam onto a train and tells her he's in love with her. Although she's kind of swept up in it, she's the daughter of a serial womanizer and infidelity is the one thing she can't stand."
"Barney's Version" took 12 years to bring to the big screen. Robert Lantos, the producer of "Barney's Version," said he collaborated with Richler on the adaptation of his novel, "Joshua Then and Now" in 1985 and they became friends. "When Mordecai wrote what turned out to be his final and best novel, 'Barney's Version,' I bought it from him before it was published. In 1999, he began to work on the screenplay. He later became ill and passed away."
Lantos says he was then left "with the quandary of how to honor the quality of this book without Mordecai here to write it…Writers came and went, and with them, many drafts and many years. I wasn't happy until the fifth writer, Michael Konyves, came out of the clear blue after two Academy Award winners had not been able to conquer this.'"
"Barney's Version" opens in limited release in December and wide in January.

New downtown apartments expected to appeal to older residents
Developer hopes to begin construction this summer
Published 5:23 PM EDT Mar 18, 2013
Developers are planning another multi-story apartment building for downtown.
The seven-story tower will be built atop the Seventh and Broadway parking garage.
Developer Rick Kimbler of NorthPointe Group said he expects the apartments will appeal to an older demographic due to the design and convenience of living above the garage.
The existing eight-story garage is mostly used by Procter and Gamble employees, and it will have spaces set aside for residents of the apartments.
Kimbler said he hopes construction will begin in August.

Edith. Such a nice old-fashioned name, kind of semi-wrecked by All in the Family. Maybe it will get a well-deserved boost now, not that Antonin has exactly taken off like a rocket.
But Edith is a nice name. In the 1880s, according to Baby Name Wizard, it was the 31st most popular girl's name in America. In 2004, it ranked a sorry No. 681. (For comparison, Ella is 29th for 2004. Emily and Emma are 1 and 2 on BNW.)
Henry Wadworth Longfellow's poem The Children's Hour, which children used to hear sometimes years ago, before there was Nick Toons, famously describes his daughters "grave Alice and laughing Allegra, and Edith with golden hair."
Edith Wharton was also famous — she did the screeplay for a Daniel Day-Lewis movie, I think. And a Wilson's wife prior to the one in the news this week, the spouse of Pres. Woodrow Wilson, was named Edith and was a Hillary before there was a Hillary.
The other first lady named Edith, Edith Roosevelt, was not a Hillary, but Eleanor Roosevelt was, and I'm not talking some Wedding Crashers/creepy best-seller link.
Edith Sitwell was a poet, as were her brothers, all of whom had the delight of full-sentence names. Osbert and Sacheverell never really caught on as first names, however.
Edith Piaf, the little sparrow, pronounced her name ay-deet and sang La Vie en Rose. It's said on some source that the name means happy, and it's the same name as Ada or Ida. Two of my mother's brothers married women named Ida.
So Edith deserves a renaissance. It's a fine name, nicer than Madison. And if it's Alberto Gonzales, I still stand by Edith.
(thanks for the idea, mcadu)

Because they're awesome.
In the wake of the news that Titmouse is animating Jhonen Vasques's seminal work Squee into an animated short, I started taking stock into other comics that need to be brought to life in an animated form. Currently, The Goon is going through the process of trying to come to life as a CG film, but it's hit some roadblocks. I'd argue that most of these comics that I'm calling for an animated film or short should probably be done in traditional 2D. CG is fine and all, but there something to hand drawn. Look at the Amazing Screw On Head pilot that Titmouse created. Well, it was in FLASH, but you get my point.
5. Scott Pilgrim
Some would say "Hey, you got a movie. Isn't that enough?" NO! Bryan Lee O'Malley's work was bread from anime and video games. We got a taste of Scott animated in the Adult Swim short, but I would love to see the books adapted into a six part OVA, or if you really want to stretch it, turn each book into a season on Adult Swim. There's a life to Pilgrim that live action can't give it, even though Edgar Wright came damn close to pulling the characters from the pages to the big screen. Either way, animated fights, the word balloons, and the lush world of a guy looking for love and learning to deal with the baggage that comes with it.
4. Sharknife
Another Oni Book that I dug a lot. Much like Scott Pilgrim, it takes a lot of nods from anime. But it does it in it's own massively stylized way that it begs to turned into an animated feature. The tale of Cesar Hallelujah, a bus boy at the greatest Chinese food restaurant in the world. Over 4 stories tall, it's known for two things. It's food, and the hordes of monsters that come out of the walls. Cesar eats a fortune cookie and turns into the metal hero like Sharknife. His battles are almost an attraction with people coming for the fight, and staying for the food. The books is in black and white, but animated in full color with all of the stylized action would be something on par with Fooly Cooly. Manic, exciting, and a work of art.
3. Dr. McNinja
I was turned on to the world of Dr. McNinja by our staffs own Cesar Aguirre. He has a knack for finding funny stuff. This was no exception. Starting life as a web comic, Dr. McNinja has come into his own as a full phenomenon. While not as highly popular as Axe Cop, McNinja has a far more cohesive yet absurd story. An Irish ninja that happens to be a doctor. Who hangs out with the clone of Ben Franklin, an ongoing fude with a clown named Ronald, and has gorilla receptionist named Judy, a raptor named Yoshi and young Mexican child sidekick named Gordito but is not fat. McNinja is full of everything that makes a great animated feature.
2. Monkeyman and O'Brien
Brainchild of artist/writer of Art Adams. His homage to his love of King Kong and 50s sci fi with a twist. An interdimensional ape with super intelligence and a young woman exposed to cosmic rays go on a pulp like adventures as they fight frogmen, mole people and a wide variety of the weird. Adams art (ironic) is detailed and unique that very few can replicate it. J. Scott Campbell comes close, but that's neither here nor there. Monkeyman and O'Brien could be a weekly Saturday morning series with how much is crammed into this series. And I'd get up to watch it!
1. The Strange Talent of Luther Strode
Moving away from the funny, Luther Strode has been a book I've fallen in love with to high degree. It's a fantastically violent tale of a young guy who wanted nothing more than to be someone strong to protect his mom and not be a push around. What he got instead was a living hell that came with new found powers of strength and might. A great Greek tragedy if there ever was a modern one. Tradd Moores art is perfectly suited for animation. Strode could be a corner stone in adult American animation if it was made into a film. Either way, GO BUY THIS BOOK. It's fantastic.

The event happened in February 13, 2014, Night time till next day morning when all the snow melted. My husband and I were at home, close to bedtime, we were watching TV in the bedroom, suddenly there were electricity interruption for a few seconds. This worried us, because that early afternoon the whole area had power outage for a few hours, but the electric company already came and fixed it. We were wondering about our cat because he was outside, my husband got up and went to the backyard and frontyard to call our cat to come home. That's when he discovered the snow crop circle. He yelled I have never seen anything like this and had the camera taking the pictures. There were no footprint in & out of the yard, the circle is almost perfectly round. I walked up take a closer look and took more pictures. It contains couple more circle within it. The next day morning, my husband took more pictures when the snow had melted a little more. The rings of circle appear more clearly like showing multiple layer of the bottom of the UFO or the UFO was hovering close to the land and slowly landing on the yard that made that rings of circle imprinted on the snow. We really can't think anyone would have done it. The day was really cold and it's dangerous to go out. It was the second biggest snow storm we have in Georgia, nobody go out and it was night time.

The drive for continuous improvement is a great way to describe The Yosemite from Taylor Stitch. It's a shirt they've spent endless hours trying to perfect, and it's probably the best garment they've ever made. What started off as a classic outdoor flannel has morphed into a shirt that's as tough as it is comfortable, and versatile enough to wear on a hike or out to dinner. Sourced from a mill that has specialized in flannel for the past 80 years, the ultra-soft, cotton chamois fabric weighs in at a solid 9 ounces. The Blackwatch Plaid puts off an iconic vibe, and the Yosemite is also available in the original Navy from it's launch 5 years ago as well as Turquoise and Wild Lupine to conjure up some vintage outdoors ephemera.

Your phone automatically updates to the correct time wherever you might be. Shouldn't your watch do the same? That's the premise behind the Casio Edifice Bluetooth Watch. Using a Bluetooth connection to your phone, it automatically updates itself four times a day, setting not only the main dial to the correct local time, but also the second time zone subdial, as well as the day and date. You can switch the time between the two using a single button, and also use the watch to track down your phone. Other features include a solar charging system that can use even fluorescent lights for power, 3D rounded indices and a 3D globe dial that shows the time in relation to the Earth's rotation, and a sturdy metal body that's water resistant to 100 meters.
