New shoes. Upcoming races. Heck yeah!
Fleet Feet as become my favorite running supply store and just this last weekend I went in there for a brand new pair of running shoes. I was a few years overdue but unlike most runners I do most of my runs on my treadmill so it is probably not as hard on the shoes (just a guess).
I wanted to go away from Nike and I have fairly new inserts (an extra piece inside the shoe that gives extra support that most runners need for long distance running) so the lady went in the back and brought 3 new boxes of shoes out.
The first pair I tried on was Brooks (Trance 12) and it felt like heaven on my feet... could a durable and supportive running shoe really feel THAT good? My Nike's are great for running but I would not want to walk around in them all day... but, the Brooks I could live in! This may be why I needed a new pair of shoes. My Nike's I had gotten at Dick's and the lady said they were good long distance running shoes but that nothing could really beat a pair of Brooks. I agree with her. I tried on a pair of New Balance (a very purpley colored pair might I add!) and the pair of Nike's and of course the Brooks won! I was a little surprised she did not bring out a pair of Asics as I had thought that is what I would land up with, but NOPE.
Unfortunately I had a HORRIBLE cold so I did not try out the Brooks until last night and I will say I am glad I bought these right before my half marathon training starts, because I can tell a difference when running in them. I also needed to get a pod holder because I run on the treadmill and so my Garmin tracks my pace/mileage with my foot pod. I need to get it synced up a little better because last night it was off... I have heard it needs to be really secure and cannot jiggle AT ALL. My honey (Brian) is going to get it all fixed up for me before my next run. (Love you, BriBri!)
The shoes and the pod were a little over $170... running is definitely not a free or cheap sport like some may think! But, protecting my feet is important to me. I love to look at reviews online and after coming home and seeing over two thousand 5 star reviews on Brooks shoes made me quite happy and confident in my decision. Also, my shoe has some sort of adaptive cushioning 'gel' in it called DNA in it... um, cool... I guess! :)
I start training for the Go! Half Marathon on January 15th! I also talked Brian into 'trying' a half marathon and he is doing a beginners type training program. I am also farting (ha! Nathan's favorite word) around with the idea of running the 5 mile St. Patrick's Day race before the parade in March. There really isn't any races until then... I think it would be a fun pre-half marathon race and I've always wanted to run in it. We'll see!
If you are a runner, I'd love to know what shoes you've had and love to run in.

|Göte Wilhelm Turesson
6 April 1892
Malmö, Sweden
|30 December 1970(aged 78)

Göte Wilhelm Turesson (6 April 1892 – 30 December 1970) was a Swedish evolutionary botanist who made significant contributions to ecological genetics, and coined the terms ecotype and agamospecies. He conducted extensive work to demonstrate that there is a genetic basis to the differentiation of plant populations. This work stood in sharp contrast to most researchers at the time, who believed that the differentiation of plant populations was due to phenotypic plasticity. Further, Turesson came to the conclusion that differentiation of plant populations was largely driven by natural selection. His work on locally adapted plant populations led him to coin the term "ecotype" in 1922.
Turesson was born in Malmö to schoolmaster Jöns Turesson and wife Sofie née Nilsson.[1] He completed his initial science studies in the United States at the University of Washington, obtaining his B.S. in 1914 and M.S. in 1915. He returned to Sweden, receiving his PhD from Lund University in 1923. He was a lecturer at Lund until 1927, eventually taking a position as professor of systematic botany and genetics at the Agricultural College at Ultuna outside Uppsala (since 1977 the main campus of the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences), where he remained from 1935 to 1958.
Honorary member of the Botanical Society of Edinburgh 1934, Lund Botanical Society 1953, Genetics Society of Japan 1958 and the Mendelian Society in Lund 1960. Corresponding member of the Societas zoologica-botanica Fennica Vanamo 1945. He was elected member of the Royal Physiographic Society in Lund 1939, the Royal Swedish Academy of Agriculture and Forestry 1945, the Royal Society of Sciences in Uppsala 1945 and doctor honoris cause at Agricultural College upon his retirement in 1957. He was awarded the honorary medal of Christian X of Denmark. He was awarded the Linnean Society of London's prestigious Darwin-Wallace Medal in 1958.
Turesson's ideas and findings have had a lasting effect on evolutionary biology of plants. At the main campus of the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences in Ultuna, one may still see a long row of birch trees of provenances ranging from Scania to Lappland, planted by Turesson. Spectacularly, bud burst in spring starts in the end of the southern provenances and proceeds 'northwards', while autumn leaf colouring and senescence starts in the northern provenances and proceeds 'southwards'. Thus, Turesson continues to remind SLU students that phenology has a genetic basis and that local adaption may be revealed in common garden experiments.

What Causes Pedestrian Accidents?
It is a sad and common reality that traffic accidents happen with alarming frequency all over America. So many people are killed or left injured by road crashes every day, and a significant number of these victims involve pedestrians. According to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, pedestrians account for about 15 percent of traffic fatalities. In Pennsylvania, for example, Zavodnick, Zavodnick & Lasky, LLC states that 13.9 percent of car accident deaths in 2014 involved pedestrians.
Considering the statistics, it's clear that so much can still be done to ensure the safety of American roads for people who opt to take public transportation and make constant use of sidewalks, refuge islands, and crosswalks.
The alarming number of pedestrian that become involve in traffic fatalities and injuries emphasizes the importance of advocating for safer road conditions. Raising awareness about the issue is a necessary step towards this goal. As we continue to discuss and investigate the common causes for such accidents, more and more people can become conscious of how they can help contribute to preventing pedestrian accidents. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) found that pedestrian accidents are most common in urban areas, likely due to the fact that more people opt to use public transportation in these places. They also noted that most of these accidents happen at nighttime. Combine these risk factors with reckless behavior on the road and we have a recipe for disaster. Pedestrian accidents can happen due to reckless driving mistakes such as running red lights and stop signs, speeding, and failing to yield at crosswalks or signal turns. In turn, pedestrians can also bring themselves in harm's way by failing to use crosswalks and hazarding to cross a street with ongoing traffic.
Remember that even the slightest mistake can cause a lifetime of pain and suffering. It's important for both drivers and pedestrians to keep in mind that these types of accidents are easily preventable as long as they follow traffic rules and regulations.Read More

Clay's malleable nature and neutral colour makes it an ideal medium for shaping elegant vases and sculpting an army of cheese-guarding terracotta warriors. See the ranks of impressionable pottery with today's Groupon: for $5, you get one admission to the Gardiner Museum, located in the Yorkville district (up to a $12 value depending on age, student status, and day of the week).
The recently expanded Gardiner Museum is Canada's premier museum devoted to ceramics, one of the world's oldest and most ubiquitous forms of art and material culture. The clay-based collection contains more than 3,000 historical and contemporary pieces, as well as rotating special exhibitions whirling atop a set of spinning plates. In addition to the interior interests, the museum is housed in one of the city's finest examples of Modernist architecture. After soaking in the sights, visitors can check out the acclaimed retail shop and café run by celebrity chef Jamie Kennedy, or try sculpting and wheel-throwing with ceramics strongmen in the open clay studio. Artist talks, book launches, and free Friday films fill-out the rotund offerings.
Frommer's very highly recommends the Gardiner Museum. Four TripAdvisors give the museum an average of four owl eyes, and six Yelpers give it a 3.5-star average.
- There is plenty here to see. The pre-Columbian department contains fantastic Olmec and Maya figures, and objects from Ecuador, Colombia, and Peru. – Frommer's
- I was quite impressed by the sheer volume of ceramics that were on display in the museum. – tanders, TripAdvisor
Gardiner Museum
When Toronto businessman and philanthropist George R. Gardiner began collecting ceramics in 1976, he was only interested in decorating his home. But soon his passion for pottery and porcelain grew as well as his collection and he co-founded the Gardiner Museum in 1984 with his wife, Helen. Today, the museum's collection has ballooned to include more than 4,000 pieces, encompassing everything from Japanese sake pots and Italian Renaissance maiolica plates, to Canadian contemporary ceramic sculptures.
Objects from the core collection share space in the museum with special exhibitions. The museum supplements its showings with lectures, special workshops, and clay classes for children and adults. Visitors can take home a souvenir from the Gardiner Shop, which sells Canadian ceramics as well as international jewelry, scarves, and glasswork, or stop-by for a lovely lunch at the third floor Terrace Room with stunning views overlooking the city, catered by à la Carte Kitchen Inc.

...High Tension Lines & Interstate, Nuff Said..?
...IMHO, No One in their Right Mind would issue a (SFOC) Special Flight Op Cert. for 'These Craft' in 'That Air-Space' Period, these craft are 'Simply NOT Reliable Enough', not to mention the Fact that they are Highly Susceptible to Electromagnetic Fields, particularly around or near High-Tension Lines. This flight was just plan Stupid and its just this kind of irresponsible flying that will lead to someone getting killed and/or these craft being banned., and is just another example of why i posted this months ago...
...i think Drone Registration & Licensing should be Mandatory, i.e. LifeTime License Fee of $1000.00, Yearly Registration Fee of $200 (after 1st Year), Fines for the Glactically Stupid $1000-10,000 incl Jail/Prison Sentences, Restitution, Forfeiture of Device(s) and Possible Permanent Loss of (LifeTime) License, anything short will only lead to the eventual Banning of these devices in my opinion.. (..donning my Lunatic Fringe Hat.., which may very well be the goal of Big Brother anyhow given the Ridiculously Lenient Rules or Guidelines leaked by the FAA earlier this year..)...
You must have a blanket SFOC? Toronto is restricted airspace. I'd be cautious showing this to the masses if didn't have a SFOC. Porter Airlines flight path is over the eastern part of the Gardiner

I've picked up three great games from indie developers over the past couple weeks. Much of the gaming press has talked at length about how Sony is courting independent game developers for their platform and how the future of indie games is with Sony. Well, with Valve and Steam, the future has been here for years. Here are the three latest titles I've been enjoying from smaller developers.
Sanctum 2 is a sequel of the first game, a tower defense game wrapped in a first-person shooter. Because you're active in the map when the creeps come calling, you're able to use your weaponry, along with your turrets and mazing skills, to keep your base safe. In Sanctum 2, the formula remains the same, although gone are the weapon levelups and instead the game moves to a class-based system where you choose your weapons before the mission. In addition, no more teleporting around the map. Instead, you can leap your maze and towers in a single bound, allowing freer movement. The core of the game remains the same: build a great maze, and bust up some creeps. The controls are a little floaty and loose, but with generous hitboxes, it's not a huge problem. However, some of the creature designs suffer. The bosses I've fought so far are basically only vulnerable in one spot on the back protected by armor, so you basically follow these guys around shooting up their butt. Not exactly riveting gameplay. Although, maybe for some people… Anyway, it's still pretty fun, and it has four-player co-op, so go get the game so we can play dammit.
Reus is a strategy puzzle god game. You control four giants which represent different aspects of the natural world. You can place down plants, animals, and minerals in a 2-dimensional world, basically just a wheel where you walk around on the outside. Like our actual world, if it were abstracted into a slice. Wait, no, it's Discworld, but inverted, so it's actually a world. Analogies fail me. Screenshot below!
So your giants crawl around on the surface of the world, plopping down all sorts of plants, animals, and mines. Each of these natural resources grant prosperity of some kind in the form of food, technology, or wealth. It's up to you to figure out combinations of a vast category of resources, because as humans settle, different settlements have different requirements. In addition, resources have symbiosis with one another, allowing you to create combinations that are more than the sum of their parts. It's very fascinating to start from something very small and simple to go to something really big and complex. Not to mention the art and music are charming, and the controls are very simple, and you can pause the game to issue commands and look at why things are the way they are. I'm having a lot of fun with it.
Lastly, again in the tower defense genre but a little more traditional, is Prime World: Defenders. I investigated the game because of a Penny Arcade tip, and I was immediately drawn in. This game is basically Warcraft III Tower Defense the Game. The gameplay harkens back to the WCIII TD maps, the art style and creep design is very similar, hell, even the text resembles WCIII. But don't think this is the same game you played in 2003. There are loads of different towers, maps, and you can upgrade and improve those towers as you play through the campaign mode, so there's a persistent element to it, which is pretty cool for any RPG fans. You level up and unlock different bonuses, and you can buy new turrets and spells using currency that you can only only gain in the store. There are no micro-transactions here, team. It's a simple game, but for $12 I can overlook the slightly unoriginal art design and lackluster "story". I'm calling it here about 5 missions in, we're in for a double-cross on this Evening Star thing.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge delighted many royal watchers by announcing that they're expecting a child together. When the news broke, media outlets and civilians alike reacted with phrases like "Finally" and "It's about time!" One would assume that William and Kate have been married for ages; yet they tied the knot just over a year and a half ago. If you're reading this and you're a newlywed, you may also relate to being bombarded with questions from well-intentioned loved ones, eager to know when you're having your first baby.
Like many other couples, Wills and Kate reportedly mapped out their baby timeline prior to saying "I do." Just two months after getting engaged, Ms. Middleton told the press that, "I hope we'll be able to have a happy family ourselves. [The royal family has] been great over the years, helping me with difficult times, and we see a lot of each other, and they're very, very dear to me."
There are many factors that can go into the decision of starting a family. Couples may hope to conceive before reaching a certain age, while others leave it up to chance on their honeymoon or hold off until certain career goals are met. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the average age of a first-time mom is 25.4. But when is the right time to have kids, exactly? In an effort to gain more insight, I turned to the all-knowing Facebook and posted a status asking, "After your wedding, how long did you wait (or will you wait) to have kids?"
Responses and "likes" triggered a debate on my wall. Some argued that newlyweds need "we" time before two becomes three. They defined this time period as ranging from one to five years, when couples establish routines and strive to reach both personal and professional goals. One person commented, "You need to build a foundation for your relationship and be on the same page in regards to financial planning and emotional readiness for parenting. In this child-free time, you should travel as much as possible, check items off your bucket lists together, and build your careers with tenacity...It can be hard to balance home and work life."
However, several commenters shared the opposite viewpoint. One wife said, "I was pregnant a month after my wedding. Planning for anything is never a good thing because plans don't always work out. There is never a perfect time or situation. Sometimes, if you wait for the opportunity, it will never come. I didn't wait and I don't regret it; my marriage is still wonderful."
Whether you're for or against waiting, all of the married respondents agreed that it is difficult to find one-on-one time with your spouse after the baby arrives. One mom wrote, "Prior to baby, we went on lots of vacations together. We could take off for a weekend at the drop of a hat, have a wild night out, then sleep until noon. That's over now—but it's been replaced with the joy of being our son's parents. My advice for newlyweds: Sleep while you can!"
One thing is certain: The decision to have a child needs to be made behind closed doors. Ignoring the obvious innuendos, deciding to bring outside parties into the conversation could lead you to make a decision that you aren't ready for emotionally or financially. Here's hoping that Will and Kate's baby bombshell will distract relatives (mine included!) this holiday season, and prevent them from asking when we'll become parents.
Tell us: When would you like to have children?

Its the mic that wont work at all.
I´m from Sweden but I´m flying in to Vegas in a couple of weeks.
Can I walk in to the Apple dealer in Las Vegas and tell them that I have a mic problem? I have never activated the phone just unlocked it.
Do you think I would get a new phone from them even if I didnt buy it in the first place it was a friend of mine from New York who bought it and shipped it to me.

Along with the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning, the Ararat Rural City Council, Northern Grampians Shire Council and the Pyrenees Shire Council, we are investigating the feasibility of extending the Wimmera Mallee Pipeline to provide water to the farm gate in the region surrounding Ararat where groundwater and surface catchments are unreliable.
If feasible, a pipeline extension will reach into agricultural areas where traditionally there has been reliable rainfall. With the prospect of an ongoing drier climate, agricultural productivity and growth could be enhanced in this region by the installation of a reticulated water delivery network.
A piped water supply could also provide ongoing water security for townships in the region as well as significant economic, social, recreational and environmental benefits to the region.
Status Update
We are writing to landholders seeking Expressions of interest for connecting to the proposed East Grampians Rural Water Supply Pipeline. Letters will be sent to landholders in the Ararat, Northern Grampians, and Pyrenees Shire regions this week to gauge the level of interest from landholders in this area.
Expressions of Interest for the project close Monday 8 May, 2017.

East Grampians Rural Water Supply Feasibility Project (4.2MB, 4 pages)
Information sessions
We will be holding information sessions for interested landholders as follows:
|Wednesday 3 May 2017
|Thursday 4 May 2017
9 am - Moyston Post Office
|9 am - Tatyoon Fire Station
|11 am - Willaura Bakery
|10.30 am - Cross Roads Fire Station
|2 pm - Westmere Fire Station
|12 noon - Buangor Fire Station
|3.30 pm - Maroona Primary School
|2 pm - Warrack Fire Station
|3.30 pm - Great Western Fire Station
These sessions will provide you with information on how to register your interest to connect to the pipeline if it is to proceed, or answer any questions you might have about the feasibility project.
There will be no need for an appointment - just drop in to chat to one of our staff members.
If you are unable to attend one of these sessions and are interested in connecting to the pipeline or would like more information, please call us on 1300 659 961.
Service area
The project area to be investigated encompasses approximately 3,650 square kilometres of land east of the Grampians. The area under investigation extends around Ararat, past Willaura and just north of Lake Bolac, then across to Westmere and Streatham, as far east as the Eurambeen-Streatham Road.
The area under consideration falls mainly within the boundaries of the Ararat Rural City Council, with some areas of the Pyrenees Shire and Northern Grampians Shire being considered with the final area being largely determined by the extent of landholder interest.
If sufficient interest in the vicinity of the project area nominated is obtained, a detailed design will take place to provide piped water to the farm gate.
View the East Grampians Rural Water Supply Pipeline boundary (1.5MB)
Landholders outside of the area are still encouraged to submit an Expression of Interest for the East Grampians Rural Pipeline (966kB, 2 pages) to assist with future planning.
Benefits to the community
A pipeline providing water to currently unserviced areas could:
- allow existing agricultural enterprises to consolidate and expand knowing they have access to a reliable, high quality water supply 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
- encourage new enterprises and investment to the region with the certainty of continued access to water.
- improve the security and quality of water supply to the townships of Maroona, Westmere, Streatham, Tatyoon and Ross Bridge.
- increase environmental/cultural benefits associated with local landscapes, waterways and wetlands by relieving some of the reliance on catchment dams to intercept water.
Read some case studies about how connecting to rural piped water has benefited landholders in our community.
Connect to the pipeline
Landholders within the project boundary are encouraged to lodge an Expression of Interest to connect to the pipeline.

Drop in public support for the EU (2012:5epa)
After several years of increase, we now witness a significant drop in Swedish public support for the EU. In the 2011 survey from the SOM Institute, only 46 percent declare themselves in favour of Sweden´s EU membership. This is a fall by as much as seven percentage points, compared to the all-time high 53 percent in the year 2010. Behind the decline in support, one finds an apparent anxiety regarding the economy. If the respondents perceive that the economic situation is worsening because of the EU membership, they will tend to view the membership as something negative. And in the year of the crisis 2011, far more Swedes than in 2010 view the EU membership as bad for the Swedish economy.
This analysis draws upon the survey of public opinion annually published by SIEPS in collaboration with the SOM Institute at the University of Gothenburg. The analysis is part of the research project Swedish Public Opinion on the European Integration and was presented at the seminar The crisis and its effect on public opinion on the EU.

About Us
HIVE Center
Understanding the structural interactions of HIV assembly, maturation and replication is critical to linking the current structural knowledge of two major enzymatic targets: HIV protease and reverse transcriptase, with their polyprotein precursors, substrates and effectors. Expanding the evolving structural knowledge of the HIV integrase and its interactions with host proteins will provide a more complete picture of the mechanisms of the third major drug target. The HIV Interaction and Viral Evolution (HIVE) Center is characterizing at the atomic level the structural and dynamic relationships between interacting macromolecules in the HIV life cycle. We focus on interactions of the major HIV enzymes with their partners and effectors since they encompass key processes in the viral life cycle and as existing drug targets provide a rich base of structural, biological and evolutionary data that inform our goals. We explore resistance evolution in HIV as an opportune platform upon which to characterize the dynamic relationships between interacting macromolecular structures at the atomic level. Our approach is significant due to the promise of new structural insights into the interdependence of viral mechanisms and the direct potential for new drug design methodologies and therapeutic strategies.
The HIVE Center comprises a group of investigators with expertise in HIV crystallography, virology, molecular biology, biochemistry, synthetic chemistry and computational biology. We study the mechanistic implications of viral macromolecular interactions and dynamics and its broader impacts of the evolution of drug resistance to address several biological questions:
- How do structures of the HIV polyprotein precursors direct assembly, maturation, and replication?
- What novel HIV–Host interactions drive DNA replication and integration?
- How does dynamics impact viral function and fitness and how can it be exploited for therapeutic targeting?
- What are the structural and dynamic consequences of resistance mutations in the HIV life cycle?
Arthur Olson, DirectorArthur J. Olson brings to the Center two decades of research and development in computational docking and virtual screening, and the largest distributed-computing resource currently addressing HIV biology: FightAIDS@Home.
HIVE Team
The HIVE Center characterizes assemblies of HIV and host molecules in multiple states and their transitions, by combining structural studies of HIV protein interactions with chemical and evolutionary probes and computational modeling to elucidate macromolecular interactions and mechanisms critical for the viral life cycle. Previous work by Center structural biologists have characterized all of the HIV enzymes, with over 300 unique structure depositions in the PDB, and the work within HIVE will reveal their interaction and maturation from viral polyproteins, and their interactions within the viral lifecycle. HIVE laboratories are approaching this challenge with a variety of experimental methods. The evolution of HIV under the selection pressure of small molecule effectors provides a functional window on the underlying macromolecular interactions. Chemistry gives us the capability to design and refine new atomic level probes to explore mechanism. Computational modeling guides the establishment of structural hypotheses and enables the integration of multi-scale dynamic data into a coherent physical picture.
Future Plans
The HIVE Center recently submitted an application for renewal of the Center. We are proposing to build on the productive collaborative work of the HIVE Center Team over the past four years, focusing work on four overall specific aims with the goal of understanding, at the atomic, biophysical and evolutionary level, the system interdependency of interacting HIV macromolecules and their assemblies which shape the HIV life cycle:
- the structural biology of retroviral polyproteins and their components in retroviral assembly and maturation, including study of structural determinants for integrase pleotropism in viral maturation and assembly, and maturation of HIV and PFV polyproteins;
- interactions of HIV with host factors during reverse transcription and integration, including initiation of reverse transcription, inhibition by APOBEC3 family proteins, and the mechanisms of integration into cellular chromatin and their consequences on the formation and reactivation of latent proviruses;
- evolution of antiviral resistance mutations and their biological and biophysical implications, building on computational analysis of full-length genomes obtained from patient samples using an innovative new sequencing technology;
- develop and characterize small molecule probes to understand the biological function of critical molecules and assemblies in the HIV life cycle, including the innovative SuFEx chemistry approach for discovering highly selective covalent inhibitors and computational approaches for discovering new molecules and characterizing the large mesoscale assemblies that are targets of these molecules.
We are excited to add four new research groups for this proposed work, adding orthogonal experimental techniques for addressing these aims in new ways. Dmitry Lyumkis and Karin Musier-Forsyth, will be new HIVE principal investigators after having been an active part of the current Center through our Collaborative Development Grant program. Lyumkis brings his expertise in cryoelectron microscopy that has revealed the role of higher-order oligomers in HIV integrase. Musier-Forsyth bringings her expertise in the use of SHAPE and SAXS to probe the structure and interactions of RNA throughout the HIV lifecycle.
Two new proposed HIVE investigators are David Millar and Jamie Williamson. Millar has pioneered the application of single-molecule fluorescence methods in HIV-1. He will develop new single-molecule methods to monitor Gag polyprotein assembly, both in a defined in vitro system and in cells and will contribute to real-time visualization of intasome assembly and single-molecule analyses of integrase-vRNA interactions and the RT initiation complex. Williamson has extensive experience with biophysical studies of RNA folding and RNP assembly, using NMR, X-ray crystallography, single molecule fluorescence, electron microscopy, and mass spectrometry (MS) to study the process of ribosome assembly. A key feature of this approach is the use of quantitative MS to study the protein composition of intermediates, and the use of stable isotope pulse labeling to study the dynamics of intermediates. This broadly based approach will now be brought to bear on the process of HIV assembly.

To Make A Dadist Poem - Poem by Tristan Tzara
Take a newspaper.
Take some scissors.
Choose from this paper an article the length you want to make your poem.
Cut out the article.
Next carefully cut out each of the words that make up this article and put them all in a bag.
Shake gently.
Next take out each cutting one after the other.
Copy conscientiously in the order in which they left the bag.
The poem will resemble you.
And there you are--an infinitely original author of charming sensibility, even though unappreciated by the vulgar herd.

Yeah, at times, it seems very probable that words are potent enough to form an idea, a thought if put randomly in an order— we do not come up with any original thought, it just happens. (Report) Reply
Susan Williams (11/4/2015 1:53:00 PM)
I was hoping this was written in jest. Apparently not. Tristan Tzara was the leader of an avant-garde movement called dada. Dada protested the concept of art and western civilization. Also reason. Dada wasn't into syntax, grammar was just too restrictive for the expression of their talent. Unsurprisingly, the Dadaists were into cacophony, dreams, and drugs. They would have loved the psychedelic hippy movement. (Report) Reply

The exhibition
What's different?
If you've enjoyed headland Sculpture on the Gulf before you'll be able to enjoy a completely new experience in 2017 because every year the entire exhibition walkway is made up of a new set of site specific sculptures.
This year's artists are made up of a mix of returning artists who have taken part in the event before and alongside them is a group of newer emerging talent who will make their hSOTG debut – without a doubt there will be something for everyone.
How long does the exhibition walk take?
If you were simply walking the public track, it would take approximately one hour from start to finish. We suggest you allow 1.5 to 2.5 hours to enjoy the walk, take in the magnificent views and, of course, the sculptures! Please respect the privacy of the adjacent property owners and refrain from walking on their private land.
Are the sculptures for sale?
Yes! The works exhibited in headland Sculpture on the Gulf and in the Pavilion Art Gallery are for sale. If you would like to enquire about an artwork, please contact
What to bring
Can we buy food, drinks, water?
Yes, a wide range of food and drinks are available for sale in the headland Pavilion during the event including a selection of freshly roasted coffee, bottled water, non-alcoholic beverages, along with local craft beer and wine. There will be a range of delicious food available for sale in the Pavilion with a focus on fresh local produce and suppliers
Where are the toilets?
Toilets are located at the Pavilion in Matiatia Bay, at the start of the walkway and at the look out site. There are also public toilets at the ferry terminal in Matiatia.
Can I bring my child in a pram?
Not really, sorry. The walkway is an unsealed coastal track with many steps and is not really suitable for baby buggies or strollers. We suggest you bring infants in a sling or baby backpack, don't forget their hat too!
Can I bring my dog?
Canine art lovers are welcome, but please make sure they are well behaved, closely controlled and on a leash at all times. Please bring your own bags to clean up after your dog and some water and a bowl as they may feel the heat too along the way.
Please note, dogs are allowed on the headland Shuttle but this is at the driver's discretion particularly during weekends, public holidays and busy periods.
What should I bring and wear?
The exhibition takes place during our peak summer months so a hat, sunscreen and sunglasses are strongly recommended as well as comfortable walking shoes. Depending on the weather, you may need to pack a light jacket. And don't forget to pack your camera.
Getting here
Passenger ferry to Waiheke Island
Taking the passenger ferry to Waiheke Island
Waiheke Island is a quick 40 minute passenger ferry ride from the Ferry Building in downtown Auckland with Fuller's ferries. For more information and a Waiheke timetable, visit the Fullers website.
Please note that during PEAK times (Friday–Sunday and public holidays) the demand for the ferry services to Waiheke is very high. We recommend arriving at least 45 mins before your scheduled sailing.
Can I bring my car/motorbike over?
Sealink offers a vehicle ferry service from Half Moon Bay ferry terminal or from Wynyard Quarter, Auckland City daily to Kennedy Point ferry terminal on Waiheke Island.
The scenic trip takes either 45 minutes or 60 minutes from Half Moon Bay and 60 or 80 minutes from Wynyard Quarter in Auckland. Vehicle bookings are recommended in advance to secure preferred timings. For a full timetable or for more information please visit sealink.co.nz.
Please make your way to the Pavilion at Matiatia where there is parking, and catch the headland shuttle bus to the beginning of the walk.
Please do not drive to the start of the walk as there is restricted parking in the vicinity.
Where can I park my car?
Parking is restricted along Nick Johnstone Drive and there is a parking resolution in place which means there's no parking along the right hand side of the road from the mid-way point ( where the old Rocky Bay store site was) to the end of the Drive.
This is really important so that buses can turn around safely. We appreciate your assistance.
The best option is to get dropped off at the start of the walk, or make your way to the 48 hour car park at Matiatia and then catch the headland shuttle bus from the Pavilion which will take you to the beginning of the walk.
The best alternative is to leave your car at home and take the bus to the ferry terminal.
Can I bring my bicycle over to the Island?
Yes – you can bring your bicycle over on both the Fullers and Sealink ferries. The exhibition walk is not suitable for bikes, however, bike racks are available at the ferry terminal, so you can enjoy the walk and then explore the Island, by bike, if you have some spare time. Don't forget to bring your own chain and lock.
For more information please visit: Fullers – www.fullers.co.nz or Sealink – www.sealink.co.nz
How does the headland shuttle bus work?
The headland Shuttle will leave the Pavilion (look for directional signage or talk to one of our volunteers) at regular intervals seven days a week. The bus will take you to the start of the walkway at the end of Nick Johnstone Drive.
The first shuttle bus will depart at 9.10am. The last shuttle bus will depart at 6.00pm. In peak times there will be a bus every 10-15 mins.
The headland Shuttle costs $5 for adults and $3 for children. Please purchase your tickets from the Fullers ticket office in Auckland and at Matiatia Wharf. (See Fuller's package deals for #hSOTG 2017)
Please note, dogs are allowed on the headland Shuttle but this is at the driver's discretion particularly during weekends, public holidays and busy periods.
Important information about Kauri dieback disease
At hSOTG we are passionate about preventing the spread of Kauri Dieback. We are asking people to clean their footwear and gear with soapy water at home before they arrive at the ferry wharfs to go to Waiheke, and to use cleaning stations when they see them at the events.
What is Kauri Dieback Disease?
Kauri dieback is the deadly kauri disease caused by Phytophthora agathidicida. Following DNA studies, this fungus-like disease was formally identified in 2008 as a distinct and previously undescribed species of Phytophthora. Kauri dieback is specific to New Zealand kauri and can kill trees of all ages.
How does it spread?
Microscopic spores in soil and water.
What does it do to Kauri?
This disease infects Kauri roots and damages the tissues that carry nutrients and water within the tree. This basically starves the tree to death. Symptoms include yellowing leaves, canopy thinning, dead branches and bleeding gum at the base of the trunk. Nearly all infected trees die.
Where is it?
Kauri dieback has infected trees at sites in Northland, Auckland, Great Barrier Island and Coromandel Peninsula.
What can you do to help prevent the spread of this disease?
- Ensure that footwear is free of soil before commencing the sculpture trail walk
- STAY ON THE TRACK and off Kauri roots
- Use the cleaning stations installed on the track
headland Sculpture on the Gulf 2017 is a Zero Waste event with the support of Waiheke Resources Trust

FORT WORTH, Texas -- The highs of 2012 were as good as it gets. The lows of 2013 were a frustrating test. And now, finally, Devonte Fields is back.
TCU coaches aren't ready to say the former Big 12 AP Defensive Player of the Year is playing his best football just yet, but there's little rust on a pass rusher who conquered the conference as a freshman in 2012.
"We're cautiously optimistic about him," TCU defensive coordinator Dick Bumpas said Tuesday on the Big 12 teleconference.
After racking up 10 sacks and 18.5 tackles for loss in his debut season, Fields' follow-up was no doubt frustrating. He was suspended for the opener against LSU and was held out for most of the following game. He suffered a foot injury in the third game against Texas Tech, tried to give it a go against Oklahoma State, and then he was done.
He'll receive a medical redshirt for the time missed in 2013 after electing to have foot surgery, but what can Fields make of his second chance as a sophomore season?
"We'll have to see. He had a good spring, really came on at the end of spring," TCU coach Gary Patterson said to ESPN.com this month. "School-wise and everything, he's just understanding when much is given, much is asked. Now he needs to finish the semester and needs to have a great summer."
What Bumpas finds encouraging is the fact that TCU's strength and conditioning coach says Fields is indeed stronger today than before the injury.
"He's not only back to where he was, he's past where he was," Bumpas said. "He's getting his strength back, his foot feels good and he's starting to show up and make plays again."
Patterson is excited about pairing Fields with junior Terrell Lathan and redshirt sophomore Josh Carraway, giving the Frogs an experienced trio at end to go along with one of the league's best defensive tackle combos of Chucky Hunter and Davion Pierson.
Following up what he did as a freshman put serious pressure on Fields, and Patterson could see that in his play.
"Last year I think he was trying to do too much," Patterson said. "For him, staying below the water with nothing going on, going to school and also becoming a pass rusher, all that stuff will come together. But he needs to do the things that are important."
Right now, that's staying healthy, taking care of his business off the field and, in time, getting even better than the lineman who tore up the Big 12 two years ago.

The woman known as Yinna Claus in the recently-discovered Secret History of Mrs. Claus was the daughter of a warrior leader, The General.
She had no memories of her mother, who lost her life early but she could still hear the beautiful sound of her brother Yanhau playing the Chinese mandolin to her as a child. Yanhau, however, wanted to be a warrior and rise like their father, so he left their land to sail for the far distant island known as Australia, to lead a battle there.
So, every winter from the time she was a child, Yinna traveled with The General and his warriors, from their fortress castle in the northern part of China.
The General always chose to fight his battles just as the season of winter festival was starting. He chose this time of year because the fields of battle were just outside of the villages he planned to take over. The villages were easy to find in the dark night since they were aglow with candles and the villagers celebrating the festival would never expect it as a time when they would be taken over.
Without her mother and brother, Yinna was especially close to her father. It's the reason she loved winter more than summer. In winter, she was able to spend many days laughing with him in a tent with the warrior encampment that was separated from fields of battle by a forest.
In the summer, however, Yinna had to work by herself in the fields of earth near the fortress, planting and watering tiny roots which, by harvest time, would grow into potatoes. Doing this didn't interest Yinna very much.
Even though she knew what a potato tasted like and that it stopped hunger, she didn't know what a potato looked like at first. Once, she pulled from the field of earth a root that was skinny and orange but it tasted sweet and made her eyes see better. She also pulled out a short and round and yellow root but it tasted spicy and made her eyes water. Another time, she pulled out a twisted-shaped root but it tasted hot and made her entire body strong. So Yinna learned what a potato was by first learning that carrots, onions and ginger were not potatoes.
At harvest time, Yinna dug up the potatoes and packed them into sacks. When they returned from battle, The General and his warriors needed the potatoes to stop hunger. By the time winter began, Yinna was carrying the sacks onto the caravan which they all rode on to the land just outside of forests, where they set up tent encampments.
Yinna so loved that it wasn't long before she was soon having terrible dreams that harm had come to him. He tried to calm her, explaining that he led the loyal men of their region into battle because they needed more land so their people could grow more food.
Little Yinna would still worry, not just about The General and his warriors but also the villagers whose Winter Festivals would be invaded. Her father gave Yinna a way to help him and his warriors. He taught her how to take the potatoes she grew and make a soup that would stop the hunger they felt after battle. If she kept her focus on making the soup, he told her, it would also keep worry away.
To change the subject and make them both happy, The General sometimes put his big and heavy winter cape on Yinna. None of the warriors had a cape like The General's.
His was extra heavy and warm because he was always at the front line where the whistle of cold winter wind almost pushed him down. It was the only one that was colored a bright red, so his warriors could always find The General if they needed him.
When Yinna wore her father's cape, however, the hood always slid down her face, leaving only her mouth – which would then break into a broad smile and make him laugh. Yinna hated to see her father leave the tent encampment and go to the field of battle. All the same, she kept her promise to never leave their tent.
When The General and his warriors left camp in the dark winter night, Yinna stayed away from the field. When the sun rose in the morning, while The General and the warriors were away at the battle, Yinna would start a fire and pull out a giant black kettle to begin making soup from potatoes she brought from their village.
As soon as The General and his warriors would return to camp at dusk, they would grab a bowl and stand in a long line leading to the giant kettle. There, Yinna would ladle out her hot soup into their bowls and the potatoes would stop their hunger.
Year in, year out, as Yinna grew tall, she went every December with The General and his warriors to a tent encampment.
As always, they went out to the fields of battle in the dark night which they always found because of the nearby villages, glowing during the Winter Festival.
And, as always, when the sun rose the next morning, Yinna made a fire and pulled out the giant kettle to make the potato soup which stopped the warriors from hunger when they returned at dusk.
There then came to northern China another dark December night when The General in his heavy red cape and his loyal warriors again went to the field of battle. As always, the sun rose. The moment Yinna went out of the tent to begin making the fire and pulling out the giant kettle, however, she knew immediately that this morning was very different. The air itself told her so. Instead of the whistle of a cold winter wind, she heard the shrill of a freezing arctic blast.
Yinna began to worry but then remembered her father's advice. If she kept her focus on making the soup, she would keep worry away. As the day went on, however, dusk began to fall, the arctic blast got shriller and shriller and The General and his warriors did not return as usual, giving Yinna a new worry.
Cold wind made the General and his warriors hungry but she knew that the freezing blast would leave them weak as well. Potato soup that stopped hunger would not be enough this time. Her soup needed something extra special. Not to make their eyesight better or make their eyes moisten, but to make their entire body strong.
As she shivered in the tent, Yinna was so cold she even wished it was summer. It made her think of that boring time when she tasted all those different roots in the field of earth which she had first thought were potatoes.
As it began to now rain, she remembered one of them made her body strong.
As dusk began to turn to night, she realized that the only field of earth nearby was the field of battle where she was forbidden to go by The General.
As the freezing arctic blasts now turned the rain into white icicles so sharp they began to shred her tent, she remembered that neither the skinny orange root nor the long green root gave strength.
And the very moment she decided to break her father's rule and run to the field of earth where he and the warriors had battled, the white icicles and arctic blasts began to twist around into a fiercely-spinning white whirlwinds filled with the whitest snow she had ever seen, but strangely leaving open and safe for her to run.
Startled to witness this phenomena, Yinna suddenly remembered that, for her soup to give strength, it was the twisted-shaped root that she needed.
She ran from the tent and into the forest, dashing here and there, in between the powerful, swirling white tunnels of wind. By the time she reached the other side of the forest, the dark night had fallen. As she stood at the edge of the field of earth, she could see nothing but the distant glow of the Winter Festival in the nearby village.
And then, the freezing blasts of air sweeping the field of earth also began to twist and spin up into another whirlwind tunnel that was again so white that it shed a soft light upon it. In the far distance, she was able to see the red of The General's extra heavy and warm cape. There was no movement beneath it – and Yinna's heart sank.
As she began to make her way across the field, towards what she knew was now just a red cape, Yinna saw a sight she that made her stop every few steps.
She counted them, one by one. Two, ten, twenty, fifty, five hundred warrior men lay still there, their life taken by the freezing blasts. She had never believed they should use a field of earth for battle but she knew each one from the many times they raised their bowls for her soup, and loved them all. She would not forget even one. Slowly, through the dark night, she said goodbye to each warrior as she made her way to her father's red cape.
It was morning by the time Yinna reached what remained of her father and with the sunlight she could see that he was but five feet from the entrance to the village. She didn't care. She sat there all day, mourning her father and all the warriors and stayed until dusk started. Just then, however, the white twisting whirlwind began to unravel and spread snow and ice until the air itself seemed to freeze.
Yinna was numb with grief but she had to try to save herself from the air. So she gently removed The General's cape and wrapped it around herself for warmth and quickly made her way into the village where the lights of the Winter Festival were still lit. She hoped they might be in the mood to help her, even though she was The General's daughter.
When she entered, however, the entire village was deadly still. She stood there silently looking at its darkening streets, the snowy whirlwinds now entering behind her and racing down the narrow streets. Then she began to hear the faint sound of moaning and coughing. The village was not abandoned. She called out but no villager appeared.
She called out again. This time, a few windows of a few houses slowly opened and several villagers managed to weakly hang their heads low out the window.The moment they saw her, however, they shut their windows.
In a flash Yinna realized these were the few who were not so weak they could not even rise. And she knew she must do something or else the mysterious freezing whirlwinds would take the life from the villagers as it took the life from the warriors and The General. Spying the open door to one house, she slipped inside.
There she saw an elderly couple, both of whom had lost almost all of their strength, shivering in the freezing air, barely able to eat the loaves of bread at their bedside. They were dry and feverish. "Too much Yang," Yinna said to herself.
When they saw the red cape of The General, however, they gasped in fear. Only when Yinna lowered her hood did they see that, although she may have been his daughter, she was her own person.
After calming them, she walked further inside, to the kitchen where a kettle as large as her own lay empty on ice cold embers. She walked to the back of the house and spotted a small, open door built into a stone wall.
It was a root cellar.
She descended into it. And she saw many bins with many different types of food, from potatoes, carrots and onions.
And then she saw just what she needed to help the villagers – ginger.
Ginger soup – that would give the villagers the strength they needed and stop the weakness they felt. And so Yinna got to work, chopping wood, bringing it into the kitchen and starting a fire and making as much ginger soup as quickly as she could.And while she hadn't forgotten about her sad loss of her father and the warriors, making the soup made her feel better.
And when she carried the kettle to ladle the soup for the old couple, they grew strong almost immediately.
And then they began to make more ginger soup as Yinna took what remained in the first pot and began to walk down the street to ladle out for others, to give them strength. She knocked on doors. Nobody answered. She called out with the promise of strengthening ginger soup for them. Slowly, doors began to open but when they saw her red cape they closed the door in fear.
And even though it was freezing cold outside, Yinna would remove her cape first and a few villagers trusted her and let her in. She showed gratitude for their trust to let her help them. And as, one by one, a few of these villagers strengthened and hailed her way to their neighbors, Yinna was able to keep on her warm cape.
At each door, Yinna would ladle it out for villagers in the first few houses. One by one, their strength began to return. She did not get to but the tenth house, however, before she saw that the soup in her kettle had frozen completely solid. So many villagers were weakening fast. There were five hundred more who needed ginger for strength.
Making her way back to the home of the elderly couple, Yinna began to despair. Five hundred villagers might lose life to the cold if she didn't find a way to get the ginger to them quickly.
Just the day before she had seen five hundred warriors lose their life to the cold because she could not get them ginger soup. Still, the freezing winds would freeze the ginger soup before she could get very far. And the longer she didn't make soup, the more she fell into sadness about those five hundred warriors. She just could not forget them. As she entered the home of the elderly couple, she saw they were strong enough to begin baking bread again.
All of a sudden, everything swirled into one and Yinna smiled. She would save the villagers by bringing them ginger that would not freeze up. She would remember in a special way the five hundred warriors.
She would bake the bread into ginger, in the shape of each one of the five hundred men.
Yinna Claus ran into the kitchen and the elderly couple helped her in baking the very first batch of gingerbread men. All the rest of that day into night, she delivered the gingerbread men to the villagers and saved all their lives.
Soon, instead of fearing the sight of The General's red cape, the villagers began to welcome the sight of it on Yinna, for she brought them strength. Instead of returning to her own home village, Yinna stayed in the place where she was loved for saving lives. Soon, word of her magic gingerbread men spread further out, village by village, house by house, person by person, one by one until the tale of the woman in the red cape who worked to save lives because just as many had been lost, reached the far reaches of the oceans.
Many years passed before another, even stranger Winter Festival began. Just as dusk fell there came a peculiar white illumination with a shade of red to it in the sky and a sound the villagers knew meant a dangerous snow whirlwind was approaching. They all retreated into their homes in fear.
It had been many, many years since Yinna had seen a white snow whirlwind, but she had never seen one in this color. Rather than fear the whirlwind, however, she remembered how strangely the one from many years before had allowed her to pass safely beside it.
This time, the whistle did not become a shrill. Instead, as this strange red and white was an old beautiful song she seemed to know. It settled down in the middle of the street. Yinna, however, stepped up to it.
And out from it emerged a man who looked into her eyes and handed her a familiar Chinese mandolin. This man had heard tales of Yinna all across the earth, of how she saved a life for every life that was lost. Her work was needed in so many places. Yet he was not there to ask her to do so. He had come to fulfill a wish.
Many years earlier, he had learned of warriors landing on a distant island and had come there to stop the intended battle, much like she had stopped hunger and weakness. It was there that he had met a man who was losing his life, but before he was gone he had asked the man to fulfill his one wish. The warrior had one beloved possession which reminded him of his sister; this man must find her and give her this object. The man had finally found her and now handed her the very Chinese mandolin which had belonged to Yanhau, the long-ago brother of Yinna. Now, the man must leave, to continue his own work.
Looking into his eyes while smiling in a way she had not since the days of her father, she asked the man, "Where is your home?"
"Everywhere," he told her.
And with that, Yinna stepped with him back into the colored whirlwind and it began to spin faster and lift upwards, away into the sky.
The villagers never again saw Yinna. But each time they, and all people across the earth in need of strength in some form, eat a gingerbread man, they always remember her.

The Glock was fundamentally designed to be used by people who aren't shooters. I'm afraid this covers a lot of cops. I know a couple of retired NYPD guys here who know nothing about guns beyond how to pull the trigger. They don't think like shooters and it's scary to be around them.
IIRC, the Glocks that NYPD have the infamous NY trigger. I think the trigger pull is something like 12 lbs. Probably one reason why you often hear about some shootout where the cops fired off 150 rounds and didn't hit the perps.

Book VII
23. Marcus Popilius Laenas was chosen from the plebs, Lucius Cornelius Scipio from the patricians. [2] Fortune even made the plebeian consul the more illustrious, for the news that a huge army of Gauls had encamped in Latium found Scipio afflicted with a grave disorder, and the conduct of the war was entrusted by special arrangement to Popilius. [3] He levied troops with energy, and ordered all the young men to assemble under arms outside the Porta Capena, at the temple of Mars, commanding the quaestors to convey the standards thither, from the treasury. After filling up four legions, he turned over the supernumeraries to the praetor, Publius Valerius Publicola, urging the senators to enroll [p. 435]a second army as a national reserve against the1 uncertain emergencies of war. [4] Having at length concluded all the necessary preparations, he himself marched against the enemy; [5] and that he might first learn their strength before putting it to the test of a decisive battle, he seized and began to fortify an eminence as close as he could find to the camp of the Gauls. [6] These, being a fierce people and by nature eager for the combat, on beholding the Roman ensigns in the distance, at once drew out their line, as if for instant battle. But perceiving that the Romans did not descend into the plain, but sought to protect themselves not only by their position but even with a rampart, they supposed them to be panic-stricken and at the same time the more open to attack for being just then taken up with their task. They advanced, therefore, with hideous yells. [7] The Romans without a pause in their work, on which the reserves were engaged, began the action with their troops of the first and second lines, who had been standing alert and armed in front of the working party. [8] Besides their valour, they had an advantage from the elevation, for their javelins and spears, instead of falling without effect, as they mostly do when thrown on a level field, were steadied by their own weight and all struck home. [9] The Gauls were burdened with the missiles which had either transfixed their bodies, or, sticking in their shields, had made them very heavy; their dash had carried them almost up the slope, but first they halted, uncertain what to do, and then —for [10] the mere delay had abated their ardour and increased that of their foes —they were thrown back, and falling one upon [p. 437]another wrought greater carnage than even their2 enemies had done; for so headlong was the rout, that more were trodden under foot than slain with the sword.

Phillip Schofield has labelled some of his Twitter followers "food nazis".
The This Morning host had been tweeting his fans from Peru, where he is on holiday.
Schofield sampled guinea pig over the weekend, which is a major part of the diet in Peru. It is also eaten in some other South American countries such as Bolivia.
A number of Schofield's followers started criticising him over his choice of lunch, after he began uploading photos and updates of his meal with warnings about the content.
One fan asked the presenter: "How could you? They are little pets, not dinner."
Schofield responded: "Not in Peru!"
When asked whether he would eat a dog or cat while visiting China, he added: "Why not? I like to try what the locals eat. #bloodyhatefoodnazis."
He also revealed that he had tried alpaca meat while in the country, writing that it was "gorgeous [and] v. low [in] cholesterol".
Schofield has been on a trekking holiday with his wife Stephanie Lowe, and will return to This Morning on Tuesday (November 6).
He was recently voted the 'sexiest silver fox' ahead of George Clooney in a poll.

1970 Oldsmobile Cutlass
Is there some kind of support group for guys who love the Oldsmobile A-bodies too much? Because after you see this wonderful 1970 Cutlass Supreme, ou'll probably agree that Olds got it right with this one. Sporty, legant, nd quick, t's the perfect combination of features for a guy who doesn't need 500 cubic inches and flashy stripes to have a good time in an old car.Oldsmobile called the color "Gulfstream Blue" and about ten years ago it was repainted to match how it looked when it rolled out of the showroom. It works extremely well on the chiseled Oldsmobile's sheetmetal, ooking quite forward-thinking for 1970 but also fashionable in 2013. Cool, ight? You're also going to be pleased to see how straight it is underneath, o you don't need to make any excuses for this Cutlass, ecause it's every bit as nice as it appears in the photos. Sure, t's got a few signs of use and age, ut at this price, ou're getting one heck of a good-looking coupe. No stripes, ut it does carry a 442 hood that will take an expert eye to recognize, ut there's really nothing that gets in the way of the original look that is GM's best blend of performance and style of the era. A recent blue vinyl top looks more elegant than the original white and fits snugly with no worries because isn't hiding any of the usual bad stuff underneath. There's plenty of chrome acting as jewelry against the bright blue paint, lus the tightly-knit front grille and matching taillights that make it sparkle.It definitely looks like a luxury car inside, here light blue bench seats add to the upscale atmosphere. The upholstery is in excellent condition, hich is thanks to a combination of durable materials and excellent care since it was restored in 2005. Factory air is not unusual in these cars, ut it sure is nice when you're out cruising or on a long road trip, lthough this one could benefit from a quick recharge to put it back to 100%. Even the original AM/ radio is in the dash with a factory 8-track player hanging underneath, o get ready to answer questions from curious onlookers. It's quite comfortable inside and still completely stock so it'll be welcome at any show you attend without having to make disclaimers about modifications. The gauges with their clear black-and-white markings look great, he orange needles are still vivid, nd the burled walnut dash still shows well. Open the trunk and you'll find a recent mouse fur mat, orrect spatter paint, nd a compact spare that's a good idea even in a full-sized car like this.Guys who know Oldsmobiles know that Olds' 350 inch small block is as durable as a block of granite and makes great torque that its siblings over at Chevy and Pontiac can only envy. With a unique sound, t fires easily and offers a slightly lumpy idle that hints of performance to come. The engine was rebuilt in 2000 to stock specs and detailed with turquoise engine enamel, stock air cleaner, nd new ignition components, nd today looks like a well-maintained machine that has never needed major surgery. It's backed by a TH350 3-speed automatic and a set of highway-friendly gears in the 10-bolt rear, o it just loafs along at highway speeds, aking it the ideal car for long road trips and the recent dual exhaust system sounds great without being annoying. A big part of the Cutlass's sporty demeanor comes from those color-matched SSII wheels, hich wear 215/75/14 whitewall radials.Handsome, un to drive, nd attractively priced, his Olds offers the smart hobbyist an easy way into the hobby. Is it any wonder why we love them so much? Call today!

If it's pizza you prefer, you'll want to know about the wood-fired pizza oven from Uuni. Features include a stone baking board, which increases thermal mass, making for a more even browning. But you haven't heard the best part: The Uuni 2S reaches temperatures of 932°F! We're talking Naples temperatures here! The oven bakes a pie (13-inch max) in 60 seconds. The cost: $299.
Of course, any foodie worth his salt dreams of own a sous vide immersion circulator to cook like a restaurant chef but is turned off by the price. But now, thanks to the magic of deal maker Amazon, you can latch on to a Sansaire Sous Vide Immersion Circulator for $158.41, shipping included! The unit operates at 110 volts and promises to cook steak "better than expensive steakhouses, for a fraction of the cost."
That's it for now. I will be back in days to come with some less pricey gadgets that also make nifty gifts.

So I've been in love with my best guy friend for 3 years now and all of our friends keep saying that it's obvious we like eachother but I can't tell if he likes me too or if it's just him being my friend. We talk every single day, he got mad when I was on tinder, he was happy when I said I wasn't going on a date with this one guy anymore, he randomly texted me yesterday to go visit him at college and when I said I couldn't he asked if I wanted to go ice skating this weekend, when we went bowling last month with a group my one friend asked what was up and she said it's obvious we like eachother. Like what are good signs that he wants more than a just friends relationship? How can you truly tell?
How can I tell my best guy friend likes me too?

A conspiracy in Camden Town
Ok, poor poor Camden Town isn't exactly having the best few days, first on Saturday the market went up in flames and now today, Monday, a bus has had its roof sliced off after being diverted due to the towns bus routes diverted. Now as for the conspiracy theory... something weird is behind it! Trust me... look at the facts... the fire was on the 9th (so 9) and the bus got its roof sliced on the 11th (so 11). Put them together and what do you get? 9 11 OR in my eyes 9 meaning September and the 11... [read more]
