BUSTY BLAST: Rihanna gets inked below her breasts for her grandmother
Barbadian beauty Rihanna definitely treats her body like a canvas. With tattoos at the most bizarre as well as predictable places, Rihanna's latest tattoo is a sprawling image of the Egyptian goddess Isis, just below her breasts. PIC INSIDEentertainment Updated: Sep 10, 2012 14:33 IST
Barbadian beauty Rihanna definitely treats her body like a canvas. With tattoos at the most bizarre as well as predictable places, Rihanna is a major fan of body art, and for her- her body is her expression.
Her latest addition to her long 'body' of tattoos is an image of the Egyptian goddess Isis, kneeling with her wings spread, looking sideways.
The huge tattoo spans across Rihanna's ribcage, just below her breasts.
The reason behind the pop star getting inked is her love and adoration for her deceased grandmother, called Gran Gran Dolly by Rihanna.
She tweeted the picture of her tattoo and said, "Goddess Isis- Complete Woman - Model for future generations- #GRANGRANDOLLY - always in and on my heart."
The Russian Roulette singer's grandmother Clara Braithwaite, who she affectionately called 'Gran Gran Dolly' passed away in June earlier this year in New York.
Rihanna has spoken about her closeness with her grandmother often on Twitter.
In the picture tweeted by the Umbrella singer, she is holding her arm across her bare cleavage to hide her bosom, showing the tattoo.
The tattoo is monochromatic with intricate detail and shading.
The goddess Isis' wings are designed in accordance with Rihanna's bust.
The curves of the wings match with her breast size so that the tattoo can be adequately seen.
Rihanna, nicknamed Riri, tweeted another picture which is a collage of a picture of her with the grandmother, and a picture of her tattoo- this time hidden underneath a see-through red top.
Rihanna is known for her crazy ways and freewill. With numerous tattoos on most of her body, we wonder if Rihanna treats her body as a notepad for her to scribble away.
Not that we are complaining! Now, we are on a check-out for Rihanna's next vacation, where we can see her flaunting the goddess tatoo in a bikini.
Rihanna kisses Chris Brown at MTV Awards
Rihanna and ex-boyfriend Chris Brown shared a public kiss at the MTV Video Music Awards at the Staples Centre here. The former couple, who split in February 2009 after Brown assaulted Rihanna, hugged when he won the Best Male Video prize. FIND OUT WHAT HAPPENED
NEW LOOK: Rihanna sports schoolboy-style crop
Rihanna has chopped off her long locks and opted for a schoolboy-style crop, which is said to be one of her most extreme looks till date. The pop star, who is known for experimenting with her looks, stunned her fans by lopping her long tresses ahead of her performance at the MTV Video Music Awards. SEE THE PIC
Rihanna eyes role in Scarface remake
Singer Rihanna is reportedly keen on bagging a role in the remake of 1983 film Scarface. The 24-year-old wants to play the role of Elvira Hancock, essayed by actress Michelle Pfeiffer in the original movie.
Rihanna still misses ex-beau Chris Brown
R&B star Rihanna has been accused of sending out a dangerous message to other victims of domestic violence after admitting she still "misses" her ex-boyfriend who was charged with assaulting her three years ago.
Rihanna's turbulent two-year relationship with rapper Chris Brown ended after he attacked her on the eve of the Grammy Awards in 2009.
But in an interview with Oprah Winfrey the 24-year-old beauty has said Brown "made a mistake" and "needed help" adding that she misses him.
Charities have criticised the comments claiming they could reduce the seriousness of abusive relationships, reported The Independent.
Vivienne Hayes, chief executive of the Women's Resource Centre, said, "Rihanna's case demonstrates the emotional complexities felt by women locked in abusive relationships.
"Whatever the nature of the argument, [Brown] chose to beat her up. And we need to stop society allowing us to normalise such behaviour."
Brown was sentenced to five years probation and six months of community labour after his attack of Rihanna.
Rihanna, Drake dominate MTV VMAs with 5 nominations each
Rihanna and her ex-lover Drake led the charge at this year's MTV Video Music Awards, picking up five nominations each.
The chart-toppers, who were rumoured to have casually dated recently, will battle it out in the Video Of The Year category for We Found Love and Drake's Take Care, which features Rihanna.
They will be competing against Gotye's Somebody That I Used To Know, Katy Perry's Wide Awake and M.I.A's Bad Girls, the Sun reported.
Shockingly, Lady Gaga wasn't for a single gong, even though her Marry The Night and You And I videos were eligible.
Rihanna was nominated for 'Best Female Video', 'Best Pop Video', 'Best Choreography' and 'Best Visual Effects', while Drake will be hoping to bag 'Best Hip-Hop Video', 'Best Male Video', 'Best Art Direction' and 'Best Cinematography'.
The rapper went up against his rival Chris Brown for the 'Best Male Video prize'.

Wasted campaign
The Taranaki Daily News states it is keen to support the seasonal drink-driving blitz reporting that 20 per cent of all serious or fatal accidents alcohol is a contributing factor. That reminded me of a joke told by Irish comedian Dave Allen a few years ago which now would probably be banned by the wowser brigade.
Dave Allen said, ''If 20 per cent of all serious or fatal traffic accidents are caused by drunk drivers that then means that 80 pe cent of all serious or fatal accidents are caused by people who are not drunk. If that is the case then why not stop them and let the drunk drivers get home in safety.''
Over the years there has been squillions spent on advertising road safety and drink driving, and the effect on the road toll has been minimal. Breath testing, seatbelts, compulsory stop signs and the revenue gathering and carnage goes on unabated. Yet the carnage on the roads in fatalities is surpassed by the amount of people who top themselves every year in this country, but there are no anti- topping-yourself campaigns. Why is that?

I have had one of the most relaxing bank holidays in a long time. Normally I would go out and get drunk from Thursday to Sunday but this year was different. Maybe I am getting old.
On the Thursday we got to leave work at 16:00 accompanied by an Easter egg (YES) so I took full advantage and went straight to the pub for a few drinks with my work friends. After that, I went home and got ready to partyyyyy with my boys. They wanted a little feature so you can follow them all on Twitter using the links below haha.
We ended up going to Porn Idol at G-A-Y as Courtney Act was head judge. I do have other pictures of the night but they are not really suitable for my blog as they contain pictures of people getting naked on stage and frolicking around a pole. I will leave that to your imagination. When I woke up on Friday I was a total mess so I stayed in bed and watched more episodes of Lost. I have now watched 4 series in 9 days. That is 90 episodes and 4,050 minutes of my life dedicated to it. I am addicted. Anyway, on Saturday ginger Dave and I went to the Ideal home show which I posted about yesterday and you can read here. I literally had the best day and can't wait to go again.
Sunday my day sorting out my room to find homes for all of my new homeware purchases, eating chocolate, writing posts and sorting out my blog. It was really nice to do nothing for once as my boyfriend hates sitting around but he had no say as he is in Australia right now mwahaha. Finally on Monday, I spent this with more friends and went out to Vapiano for pizza, the way to any man's heart, and the rest of the day uploading 27 items to eBay. That took a long time.
For May bank holiday, I will be in France. I hope.

BOSTON – Gillette Co. (G) said Thursday that solid sales of its shaving, dental care and battery products lifted fourth-quarter profits by 13 percent, slightly below Wall Street expectations, as the consumer goods company prepares to be acquired by Procter & Gamble Co. (PG).
Gillette reported net income for the October-December period of $415 million, or 41 cents per share, compared with $368 million, or 36 cents per share, in the same quarter a year earlier. Net sales rose to $3.11 billion, up 19 percent from $2.62 billion in the year-ago period, with favorable foreign exchange rates accounting for 4 percentage points of the increase.
The prior year's fourth quarter included a $10 million gain from discontinued operations, while Gillette reported no one-time expenses or gains in the latest quarter.
The latest profit came in a penny per share below the consensus forecast of analysts surveyed by Thomson First Call.
Gillette shares slipped 4 cents to $50.66 on the New York Stock Exchange (search). The stock has traded in a 52-week range of $35.80 to $51.90.
Gillette reported sales gains across its portfolio of consumer products, including the recently introduced M3Power (search) and Venus Divine shavers, Oral-B dental care products, Braun electric shavers and Duracell batteries. Sales of blades and razors rose 16 percent in the fourth quarter — a result hurt by advance third quarter shipments of razors to be sold during the holidays. Sales of dental care products and Braun shavers both rose 28 percent in the quarter, with battery sales up 12 percent.
Gillette's full-year net income was $1.69 billion, or $1.68 per share, up 22 percent from the company's 2003 profit of $1.39 billion, or $1.35 per share. Sales rose 13 percent to $10.48 billion from $9.25 billion in 2003.
"We made significant progress last year in all our areas of business," said James M. Kilts, Gillette's chairman, president and chief executive.
Gillette did not offer an earnings forecast, but Kilts said, "We look forward to another very good year in 2005."
The earnings report was being closely watched as it came less than a week after Cincinnati-based P&G announced plans to buy Boston-based Gillette in a $57 billion deal that would create the world's largest stable of consumer products.
The deal, P&G's biggest acquisition in its 167-year history, requires shareholder and regulatory approval. It would create a behemoth with more than $60 billion in revenues that would eclipse Unilever, the maker of Dove soap and Lipton tea.
Massachusetts Secretary of State William F. Galvin this week asked Gillette for information about future job cuts and plans to reward executives financially as part of the sale. Galvin said Wednesday he believes a review is merited because of the deal's size and the large payouts executives at Gillette are due to receive. Kilts stands to benefit from gains on his Gillette stock, a one-time "change of control" payment of $12.6 million and nearly $24 million in options and restricted stock at P&G.
Initial estimates of the gain Kilts stood to make were $153 million, but The Wall Street Journal reported Thursday that its new estimate is at least $185 million, accounting for details in his complicated compensation package including a supplemental pension payment. The Journal said it arrived at its new estimate with the assistance from an executive pay expert.

I made a portfolio of my writing the other day. So happy to have gotten that off the ground. I am waiting for the hiring manager to send me the performance assessment for the position. It's very interesting—I said, ruminated on even, not wanting to fill out an application and go through the terror of all of that. And here – I sent an email and was connected with the hiring manager. This feels promising. It's scary for it to feel promising. I am worried that I won't get the position and will feel disappointment and being trapped.
It's hard.
I am scared to read some of my old poems. They are so dark and twisty. I don't know where they came from. I will have to re-read one. Just to see. YTT weekend tomorrow — looking forward to it. I also have a cleaner coming in …..looking forward to that.
Today was a lovely day. I truly enjoyed it. I got an itch to visit the TNTP website again. I see a writing job on there. I am going to write a cover letter and apply.
Let's see what happens.

May's UFO is finished!
I am very pleased about this finish for many reasons:
1) I loved working with yellow for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge,
2) I was able to finish a project that used up lots of scraps,
3) The hand quilting with perle cotton was very relaxing and I think I am addicted to it now,
4) I tried something new - binding a very irregular edge. I used a straight grain binding for the straight sides, and a bias binding for the zigzag edges and it turned out okay.
5) I added a few embellishments - a beehive and a few bees.
Now I can't decide if this is a tablerunner or a wallhanging, and whether or not to sew on a hanging sleeve.
To see other UFO's that were finished this month, hop over to Patchwork Times.

We here in the USA don't think of yahoo much anymore.. It seems Gmail has consumed us all. Microsoft still throws BING around and AOL will never die. I guess yahoo answers may still be used (but only when you google something lol), but as for searches, who still uses Yahoo? Those "fun" commercials have since ceased, you know the ones, the YAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO singalongs!
Anyhow, here in Taipei City a yahoo company store just opened! YAHOO! I bet it was fun! So what do the people of that side of the world use? Yahoo? How big is Yahoo over there? I guess fairly well sized if they have stores popping up. And why yahoo? Why does the Big Red Star country like yahoo? Why Why Why? Do you yahoo?

Flood maniac of Manipur river basin
Dr. Rajkumar Ranjan Singh
The Manipur River Basin has been encountering triple folds of flooding beginning with the month of May 29 to 30, June 10 to 14 and June 30 to July 2, 2017. For every month we are fascinating with the festival of flooding all throughout the Valley of Manipur during this year of 2017. Lastyear-end part of July and beginning of August there was an occurrence of devastating flood all along the Thoubal River valley damaging huge paddy fields in the district.
The frequencies of flood are intensifying in the region. The frequent flood may co-relate with the analysis report of Scientist Hui Su of Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), NASA, in the US. Globally, rainfall is not related just to the clouds that are available to make rain but also to earth's "energy budget" including energy from the sun compared to outgoing heat energy. The amount of rainfall in the earth's tropical will significantly increase as our planet continues to be warm, a new national Aeronautic and Space Administration (NASA) study warns.
Climate Change and its impact are global phenomena. But in a hilly state like Manipur with its natural landscape and drainage systems and occurrences of frequent flood may directly link with the impact of degradation of its natural ecosystem of the state. It is also observed that the natural riverine ecosystem of the Manipur River has been completely altered and degraded with irreplaceable conditions.
All the watershed zones in the catchment areas of the Manipur River and its tributary systems were lost by human interferences. Simultaneously, all the wetland complexes lying in between different interfluves areas of the Manipur River drainage systems were continuously reclaimed and encroached upon. Ultimately the carrying capacity of the Manipur River riverine ecosystem is lost. This may be the major factor for occurrence of flood in the basin.
The present day model of development, practiced in the state neglecting the role played by the natural landscape and its corresponding role is also a culprit. In the recent past whatever amount of rainfall received in the state was absorbed to the wetlands and lakes, providing ample scope for enhancing endemic bio-resources in the state. We may site a glaring example with the construction of Ithai Barrage across the Manipur River. The Ithai Barrage obstructing the monsoon river flow in the valley directly causes frequent flood in the Valley. When the river water rises up to the mark of danger level with maroon like situation the level of water in the river will not recede until the Barrage is open.
There are many wrong concepts of planning in the wetland water management. Without the indebt analysis of the wetland eco-system and the role played by them the Loktak Development Authority (LDA) constructed many structures, which debar the natural channels that were working as in-flow and out-low of the monsoon water of the rivers to the Pumlen, the Ekop and the Loktak Lake etc. Thus the excess monsoon water of the rivers was constantly impounding and causing flood in the River Basin. The planners and developers of the state of Manipur should make a new approach with the idea of River Basin as a unit of Development/Management Planning in the state. It will be wiser on the part of the government of Manipur to study the river system and its associated watershed/catchment areas and the wetland component scientifically first for any step of developmental planning and its implementation.

The Bloody Inconveniences and Losses in Manipur: Curse yourself
By Amar Yumnam
A very recent newspaper headline in Manipur reads:"Cloudburst catches state by surprise again: Many parts in Imphal knee-deep in flood waters." Now such scenarios are becoming more frequent and happening more easily than ever. Then the questions to be asked are: Is cloudburst the ultimate cause? Is cloudburst a cause at all? Cloudburst as a natural phenomenon must have been happening right from the first day Planet Earth and the Universe came into existence. Manipur naturally must have been experiencing cloudburst every year and more than once right from the beginning. This being so we need to ponder if the inconveniences caused by the recent cloudburst have always been so. Are the consequential disruptions to life recent in nature or inherited? Should we limit the relationship between water-logging/flood to only water? Should we extend the search for the causality of floods beyond cloudbursts and water? Should we accept the recurrence of such disturbances as natural and unavoidable? Or should we start searching for solutions and avoidance of such recurrences?
These and similar questions need to be answered and answered in right earnest. While pondering on these questions, we may recall the global deliberations and debates with the terminal year of the Millennium Development Goals getting near and the imperative to take a call on what next after 2015. A High Level Panel of Eminent Persons, consisting of twenty-seven Members from across the world, worked through 2012 to 2013 producing a Report on A New Global Partnership: Eradicate Poverty And Transform Economies Through Sustainable Development. This Report was the foundation of the Sustainable Development Goals 2030 (SDG 2030) and adopted by the General Assembly of the United Nations on 25 September 2015. The Panel consisted of "Eminent Persons, including representatives of governments, the private sector, academia, civil society and youth, with the appropriate geographical and gender balance." But the Panellists were Members "in their personal capacity" and worked "on the basis of a rigorous analysis of credible shared evidence" by engaging and consulting "widely with relevant constituencies at national, regional and global levels." The Report of the Panel emphasised that "the lives of billionscan be improved, in a way that preserves the planet's natural resource assets for future generations…Progress on this scale is possible, but only if governments (at all levels), multilateral institutions, businesses, and civil society organisations are willing to change course and reject business-as-usual. They have a chance to develop and put in place a new agenda: one that confronts the challenges of the modern world head-on. They have an opportunity to transform their thinking and their practice, to solve current problems with new ways of thinking. They can join forces, tackle poverty, the economy and the environment together, and bring about a paradigm shift." What we have today is an integrated network of targets in SDG 2030 which the world could not do so despite the resolutions of the World Summit in 1992.
Now coming to Manipur, the issues are (a) addressing the challenges of the economy, (b) explore what has been the business-as-usual model of Manipur, and (c) the necessity or otherwise of a paradigm shift in development thinking and intervention. Pondering over and responding to these would throw light on the questions posed in the beginning of this piece in connection with the inconveniences of life being faced in Manipur right now consequent upon the latest cloud bursting event. I would definitely trace the causality of the ongoing flood much beyond the recent cloudburst. As argued in the beginning, cloudburst has been going on as a natural phenomenon but the inconveniences to life are recent both qualitatively and quantitatively. The causality lies in the nature of paradigm of development interventions in Manipur – in the very way Manipur has constructed roads, houses and conducted governance. The main characteristics of the paradigm have all along since 1951 been (i) never an integrated look at the issues but only stand-alone approaches, (ii) never contextualised to the social and geographical realities of Manipur, (iii) non-thinking and non-evaluative, and (iv) anti-environment all along.
To make the issues much more vivid, let me pose a live question today. We know the current inconveniences are becoming more frequent and more easily happening than ever. Can we think of this as disconnected from the business-as-usual paradigm Manipur has been following the last few decades? I hope not. Now what does the business-as-usual paradigm look like in Manipur? The exemplary evidence of this is the MURDERING OF MOUNTAINS HAPPENING IN THE YARALPAT AREA TODAY. I am sure such kind of state-sponsored murdering of mountains does not happen anywhere in a peace area in the world today and all in the name of development. It is even more so because of the shared and integrated commitment of the comity of nations to upholding the integrity of the assets of nature
In a way very contrary to the global understanding and commitment, in Manipur we have been continuously experiencing
- State-sponsored murdering of flora and fauna – look at the Ithai Barrage;
- State-sponsored murdering of mountains – the contemporary example is what is happening in the Yaralpat area; and
- State-sponsored murdering of water bodies – examples aplenty.
If these murders are not put to an end, Manipur can never expect enjoying a sustainable path of progress with poverty removed and Mother Nature nurturing us lovingly.
Knowledge or Technology
The digital age has brought the world together under one roof more than any other phenomenon in history. Whether this is good or bad is another debate altogether, but the inescapable reality is, there is no other way to move forward than to accept its inevitability and learn its ways. It has in many ways redefined democracy in spirit as well as in practice. Never before has the world come to belong to one "imagined community" as they are now. When Benedict Anderson wrote his landmark book defining a nation as an "imagined community", bound together by shared interests, and shared aspirations, a bondage most visible in subscriptions to newspapers and news channels that represented these interests, the internet was still in its infancy. So he talked only about how newspapers represented this abstract "imagined community" which transcends immediate circles of friends, relatives and acquaintances of at the most a few hundred people. The telephone contact lists of people in the 1980s and 1990s for instance seldom went beyond 200-300. Today with the advent of social media like Facebook, Whatsapp, Twitter etc, an individual's "friends" or "followers" can run into thousands, and even several millions.The world under one roof has also meant the world as one market, and again nowhere has this been more true than in internet based businesses. Facebook, Google, Amazon, Alibaba, Flipkart etc, to name just a few examples.
We pick the Google story for this editorial today as it has been particularly fascinating for many things. David A. Vise, who chronicled the rise of the Google phenomenon in his book "The Google Story" gives us a glimpse of this internet search company's short but spectacular history. Vise traces the success trajectory of the two extra bright Stanford University Ph.D scholars, Sergey Prin and Larry Page, whose thesis on the calibration of websites by tracking the number of links each site is associated with became the foundation of this multi-billion dollar company that gave an explosive start to the 21st Century. Their achievement in the field of information revolution is compared even to those of Johan Gutenberg 500 years ago when he invented the movable font printing machine. Google was founded toward the end of 1998, and its two founders were billionaires in less than 10 years before they were 30. The word "Google" has also become a verb in the English language and in 100s of other languages of the world. Incidentally the name "Google" is, Vise's book reveals, is a misspelling of the term "googol", which stands for a very big number –10 followed by 100 zeros. That the two thought of this number is understandable, for while calibrating websites they were dealing with billions after billions of data. But by the time they realised it was a misspelling, it was too late, for the misspelled name "Google" had caught the world's imagination.
The Google story has one other prominent hero other than the two friends – Stanford University. And it is this aspect of the story that this commentary is interested in with a view to suggesting to our own academia of an approach that has resulted in ground breaking innovations that spawned phenomenally successful leaders of the new age industries. The Google story exemplifies this more than any other. Imagine a doctoral thesis, and an internet search engine programmed on its basis as part of the same doctoral course, resulting in what may yet be the most phenomenal enterprise of the new century. The moot point is, it was no accident that this happened in Stanford University, for the university actually has a programme that encourages this. Its Office of Technology Licensing even goes to the extent of not claiming propriety to ground breaking on-campus works by students and professors. Obviouisly, it sees no contradiction between academics and financial rewards and has served as the incubator for some of the most successful technological enterprises on earth, including Hewlett-Packard, SUN Microsystems (SUN actually stands for Stanford University Network), Amazon.com etc. It departs a little from the purist approach that the primary duty of the academia is to train the next generation professors and researchers alone. What it also does besides this is to give emphasis on linking its knowledge bank with the world outside to the benefit of both. The question is, shouldn't it be worthwhile for our own institutions of higher learnings to give this approach a thought?

Chassis Num:
Sold for $117,000 at
2009 Bonhams
Earl 'Madman' Muntz was an extremely successful used car salesman in California. The Jet was Muntz's answer to the sports cars that were coming onto the scene in the early 1950s-cars like the Kaiser Darrin, the Hudson Italia, the Chevrolet Corvette and the Nash Healey, Muntz met with famous race car builder Frank Kurtis and purchased the rights to produce a Kurtis road car. Muntz stretched the chassis and created a 4-seat sports car. This car is a custom version built by Joe Bailon for bandleader Freddy Martin. Many body modifications were made, changing nearly every panel, and a new Corvette V8 engine was installed. The changes, which were completed in 1955, make this particular Muntz Jet unique.
Indy car builder Frank Kurtis produced 36 sports cars in 1949. Earl 'Madman' Muntz, of TV fame, bought the tooling and manufacturing rights from Kurtis and began producing Muntz cars. Costing more than $5,500, fewer than 300 were produced. All were convertibles, with removable 'Carson' tops. Band leader Freddy Martin bought this Muntz in 1952. The flathead Lincoln V8 took it to 60 mph in under nine seconds, apparently not quickly enough for Martin, who commissioned Joe Bailon to restyle the car and install a V8 engine. He retained the maroon vinyl interior. The current owners bought the car in 2004, after it had been in inhospitable storage for 40 years. Joe Bailon vividly recalled the car and was instrumental in its authentic restoration.
In 2009, this Muntz Jet Convertible was offered for sale by Bonhams Auction at the Quail Lodge Resort and Golf Club in Carmel, CA. It was estimated to sell for $150,000 - $175,000. As bidding came to a close, the lot had been sold for the sum of $117,000 inclusive of Buyer's Premium.
Earl 'Mad Man' Muntz made his fortune by selling low cost TVs of his own design and is credited with the invention of the abbreviation 'TV.' He even named his daughter Tee Vee. He made another fortune when he invented the stereo 4-track tape player that was the basis of Bill Lear's 8-track.
In 1950, Muntz purchased Indy car builder Frank Kurtis's design and all of the tooling. From this, he created the 2-seat sports car renamed as the Muntz Road Jet. The Kurtis 'Sports Car' was stretched 13 inches by Muntz to add additional room for the back seat. The cars had a simple, yet streamlined styling. The cars were bold and elegant, with colors that were eye catching and flashy. Under the hood was a 205 horsepower overhead valve Lincoln V8, giving the car a top speed exceeding 100 mph.
Estimates on how many cars were produced is not known. It is believed to be anywhere from 200 to 400 cars.

(did not sell)
This Muntz Jet is powered by a Lincoln Flathead V8 engine and mated to a Hydra-Matic transmission. It is believed that this car was stored in Mississippi for an extended period of time, from 1962 to 1979. The current owner undertook an extensive and total body-off restoration, including a rebuild of the motor, transmission and rear-end. The work took five years to complete at an expense of $175,000. It is painted in black with a black top and a red interior. There is even a Muntz eight-track car radio.
In 2009, this Muntz Jet was offered for sale at the Sports & Classics of Monterey auction in Monterey, California presented by RM Auctions. The car was estimated to sell for $120,000-$160,000. Bidding reached $85,000 but was not enough to satisfy the car's reserve. The lot remained unsold.
In 2010, this Muntz Jet was offered for sale at the Vintage Motor Cars of Meadow Brook where it was estimated to sell for $80,000 - $110,000 and offered without reserve. As bidding came to a close, the car was sold for the sum of $82,500 including buyer's premium.

Though not a true sports car, the Muntz Jet owes its lineage to one: the Kurtis Sports Car. In the early 1950's, fast-talking Los Angeles radio and television manufacturer Earl 'Mad Man' Muntz made his name as a high-powered huckster on the new-fangled invention called the television. In 1951 Kurtis sold the rights to his Sports Car to Muntz for a reported $70,000. (Muntz claimed it was $200,000). Per Muntz's wishes, the chassis was extended to accommodate a rear seat. It was renamed the Muntz Jet with the longer and heavier car now priced at $5,500, quite a jump from Kurtis' initial $3,990 offering and more expensive than a new Cadillac at the time. Rather than fiberglass and aluminum, Muntz constructed it of steel panels and used Cadillac and Lincoln engines to power the much heavier car. A numerically lower final drive ratio gave the Jet a higher top speed than its Kurtis predecessor.
The interior featured a full console, with radio and four-passenger seating. A lift-off hardtop roof was also included. The first 28 cars were built in Los Angeles, but sales proved difficult and Muntz moved production to his home base of Evanston, Illinois. Despite the high price, Muntz reportedly lost $1,000 on each one he made. A total of 394 were produced before Muntz called it quits in 1954.
This car was originally owned by the Pillsbury family and was the first car to be built in Muntz's Evansville, Illinois facility.
The Muntz Car Company had its beginning in Glendale, CA. The company was founded by Earl 'Madman' Muntz, a well-known local used car dealer and electronics retailer. The company had a short life as a car manufacturer; from 1950 to 1954.
Muntz was assisted by Frank Kurtis, who had earlier attempted to produce a sports car under the Kurtis Kraft marque. A mere 36 Kurtis Kraft Sports cars were produced by 1950.
In 1951, Kurtis sold Muntz the license to manufacture the cars. They were quickly rebadged as the 'Muntz Jet'; he extended the body to make it a four-seater, and exchanged the Ford engine with a larger Cadillac V8. Later, this engine would be replaced with a less-expensive Lincoln side-valve V8.
The company managed to produce approximately 400c ars between 1951 and 1954. Due to the high manufacturing cost, Muntz himself estimated that his company lost about $1,000 on each car; this financial drain eventually caused him to close the company.
Because the cars were distinctive in design, well-built and great performers for their time, Muntz Jets are rare and valuable collector pieces.

The early history of this Muntz Jet Convertible is not known. It is known to have been in Wyoming up until the millennium, when it was purchased by Mr. Jack Halpen of Calgary, Canada. Mr. Halpen treated the car to a comprehensive restoration that would take years to complete.
The car has a faux-snakeskin clad interior and hardtop.

Trying to measure up to European car manufacturers, American came up with the Muntz Jet, an American sport car that was both practical and fashionable for the times. The Muntz Jet was a 4-seater convertible in the mold of the 58-61 T-bird.
The original design came from Frank Kurtis before Earl Muntz bought the design and redesigned and re-engineered it. Earl 'The Mad Man' Muntz was considered to be a entrepreneur. With a background in radio during the early 40's, he made his millions during by selling the first televisions for mass market as a Dumont Television franchiser.
Built in Gardena, California in the early 1950's, the first 28 prototypes were made of aluminum with a 113 inch wheelbase and were powered by a 331 cid Cadillac V8. Body panels were aluminum based that formed over a steel cage subframe on a 'X' frame chassis.
Eventually the production site was moved to Evanston, Illinois, Muntz's hometown. It was here that the vehicle received a modified steel body and the powertrain was changed to the Lincoln flathead V8. Using fiberglass front fenders and an OHV Lincoln V8, producing 154 hp. Tested at 6.7 seconds, the Jet made zero to sixty, and a top speed of 119 mph.
As Muntz produced his last cars, he was estimated to have taken nearly a $1000 loss on each vehicle made. At the time, the price of a new Muntz Jet was between $5000 & $6000. Today they range from $10,000 to $40,000 based on their condition.
Well received by audiences in Southern California showrooms, deposits were enough to ensure a satisfactory production beginning.
Producing around 400 Jets between 1951 and 1954, it's estimated that at least 49 survive today.
Most likely due to the huge loss he took on the production of each car, the Muntz Jet venture ended after four years.

35th Anniversary of Free Shakespeare in the Park Announces "Hamlet" Dates
July 1 – October 1 in Pleasanton, Cupertino, Redwood City and San Francisco
"Break my heart, for I must hold my tongue."
San Francisco, CA –San Francisco Shakespeare Festival proudly announces the dates for Hamlet in select venues
across the Bay Area for its annual Free Shakespeare in the Park production. Free Shakespeare in the Park has now been a beloved family tradition in the Bay Area for 35 years, and the company is celebrating that anniversary by producing Shakespeare's timeless tragedy in the park for the first time.
Directed by SF Shakes Resident Artist Stephen Muterspaugh, Hamlet will feature Davern Wright* in the title role. The
rest of the cast includes Rolf Saxon* as Claudius, Leontyne Mbele-Mbong as Gertrude, Sharon Huff* as Polonius,
Julian Lopez-Morillas* as The Ghost/Player King/1st Gravedigger, Kieran Beccia as Ophelia, Sydney Schwindt as
Laertes, Nathaniel Andalis as Horatio, Melissa Quine* as Rosencrantz/Marcellus/Osric, and Radhika Rao as
Guildenstern/Barnardo/2nd Gravedigger.
The modern-dress production will highlight contemporary political parallels within Hamlet. The play, about the
questionable succession of King Claudius to the throne of Denmark over his nephew Prince Hamlet, speaks strongly
about disenfranchisement, frustration, and the need for action during troubled times. Muterspaugh will direct this
production after co-directing The Taming of the Shrew with Artistic Director Rebecca Ennals in 2014 and directing four seasons of the company's Shakespeare On Tour. Also returning to the Festival's mainstage production is Scenic
Designer Jay Lasnik, who designed The Winter's Tale in 2016.

About San Francisco Shakespeare Festival
The mission of the San Francisco Shakespeare Festival is to make the words and themes of Shakespeare accessible to
everyone, regardless of age, ethnicity, financial status, or level of education. We accomplish this through the
presentation of Free Shakespeare in the Park and a wide array of education programs: Shakespeare On Tour,
Tailor-Made Residencies, Bay Area Shakespeare Camps, Midnight Shakespeare, and Shakespeare for All.
Shakespeare On Tour performs an abridged Shakespeare play at schools, libraries, and community centers all over the
state. Tailor-Made Residencies connect teaching artists with classroom teachers for in-class theatre enrichment,
specifically tailored to their learning objectives and their students. Bay Area Shakespeare Camps for ages 4-6, 7-13,
and 12-18 are two-week theatre camps held throughout the Bay Area. Midnight Shakespeare, the Festival's after-school program for underserved and low-income youth, serves participants in San Francisco, Oakland, San Jose and Antioch.
Shakespeare For All in three Central Valley communities–Salida, Madera, and Chowchilla–gives residents a chance to
stage community productions of Shakespeare's plays with the assistance and guidance of theater professionals.

"Tribute to Barack Obama lights up the library
Barack Obama: A Legacy of Hope
San Francisco, CA — The African American Center of the San Francisco Public Library presents a tribute to an American president who brought unbridled pride to the African American community and to millions of people around the world. Items on display showcase Obama's life from early childhood to his years in the White House.
The exhibit is curated by Francee Covington, former president of the San Francisco Fire Commission and current commission member. Exhibit materials are from her personal collection, and is a celebration of Obama's election and his eight years of service as the 44th President of the United States of America. "I hope everyone will enjoy this exhibit and celebrate the fact that for eight years we had a compassionate gentleman and scholar as our president," says Ms. Covington.
Barack Obama, a self-described "skinny kid with a funny name," used the skills he honed as a community organizer and Harvard Law School graduate, along with strategies from his successful runs for Illinois State Senator and United States Senator, to become the first African American candidate from a major party to run for president. His candidacy became a movement of hope and a time for change.
On November 4, 2008, Barack Hussein Obama, America's first African American President, was elected the 44th President of the United States and his election marked an unprecedented step forward in American history, shattering racial barriers and forever altering the political landscape.

Hippie Hill at 4:20 PM:
2) People were getting carded at the gate, so what to do? How about hang out betwixt Kezar and Stanyan, how's that? A high school scene:
3) Alternatively, there's always the bum rush. Hundreds made it through this one rupture over a period of about three minutes. Security guard in the yellow on the left there knew just what to do – he shut things down with a quickness. You can see some of the lucky ones past the gate to the left of the unecessary ambulance. Why would you bum rush? You're a minor, you want to bring in your glass bong, and/or you didn't want to wait so long in line – those are my top three guesses:
4) Traffic was going pretty good until SFGov started shutting down streets:
I don't know why they do this – seems an overreaction:
So Hayes Street temporarily becomes New Fell Street
Count the #21 Hayeseses totally stuck in traffic:
5) So when SFGov complains about how much money it has to spend on Annual 420 Day, leaving aside how much effort it puts into promoting tourism, like how it sent its white collar worker$ to "volunteer," you know, on the clock, for the NFL's Super Bowl Experience or whatever the Hell it was called last year, take a look at this unecessary featherbedding – it's a street sweeper sweeping nothing. How much does this cost, a $1000? IDK
Anyway, all this foo forall seems a make-work program for SFGov to placate the millionaire homeowners in the area, you know, on Annual 420 Day.

Dan and I made the long drive to Kent yesterday to visit my alma mater and see Kent Fashion Week 2015. It's a 2 to 3 day event where each senior student that has designed and created a collection for their thesis has the opportunity to show it at one of Kent's local bars, 157 Lounge. I was lucky to be apart of the group that worked to put it together when I was a senior last year, so I wanted to come back and support the students that worked their tails off to make it great!
It was also great to see my old professors coming to support their students, and old friends who came into town. Needless to say, I'm feeling a little homesick today, after we left late last night. Kent, as I'm sure for anyone who's been to college at any point, was more of a home to me than anywhere else I've lived, so I was so glad we got the chance to make it up there.
Now, I'm really picky about cookies. Flavor aside, I need something thick, puffy, and slightly under-baked. I'm so glad I've finally mastered my oven; I always time it so the cookies will come out of the oven still cooking so once they're cooled, they've got a great thick texture.
I've also started rolling the cookie dough in tall spheres as opposed to little round balls. This way, when they're baking, they're able to cook slowly to achieve the thickness I'm looking for.
Also, I should warn you guys that this recipe makes A LOT of cookies. Almost 50...I've managed to pass the rest on to friends and family, but you can freeze the batter if you'd like to save it, or cut the recipe in half…but who wouldn't want cookie dough on hand all of the time anyway..?
So take a taste for yourselves and try out the recipe!
Enjoy guys!
Double Chocolate Chip Cookies
Makes 4 batches of 12 cookies
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 1/2 cup shortening
1 1/2 cup dark brown sugar
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
4 cups all purpose flour
3/4 cup cocoa powder
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup chocolate chips
Preheat oven 350 degrees
Prepare a cookie sheet with parchment paper
1. In your standing mixer, or with your handheld mixer, cream together butter, shortening, and sugars until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time until just combined, then add vanilla extract.
2. Sift together dry ingredients in separate bowl, then gradually add to wet ingredients on medium speed until completely mixed. Pour chocolate chips into batter and combine with a spatula. (Do NOT do this with any paddle attachment on your mixer because it'll make your machines go nuts. Trust me, you don't want to hear those scary noises, or eventually deal with the repercussions..).
3. Roll cookie dough into small balls, about an inch and a half wide (if you're looking to be exact), and about 2 inches tall. Set 12 balls of cookie dough on parchment covered pan, place in the oven, and bake for 10-12 minutes. (Mine went in for 10, but they were a bit under baked.) Let the cookies cool for a at least 10 minutes before eating. The dough is able to be frozen for up to 4 days.

Veterinary assistants and laboratory animal caretakers look after animals in laboratories, animal hospitals, and clinics. Veterinary technologists and technicians perform medical tests under the supervision of a licensed veterinarian to assist in diagnosing the injuries and illnesses of animals. Veterinary technicians must complete an associates program in veterinary technology, while veterinary technologists require a 4-year bachelors degree. The median annual wage for veterinary technologists and technicians was $32,800 in May 2017. Employment opportunities are projected to grow 20% over the coming decade, much faster than the average for all medical occupations.
In 2017, there were 231 veterinary technology programs accredited by the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA). Most states require veterinary technicians to pass the Veterinary Technician National Examination (VTNE), offered by the American Association of Veterinary State Boards. For technologists seeking work in a research facility, the American Association for Laboratory Animal Science (AALAS) offers the following certifications: Laboratory Animal Technician (LAT) and Laboratory Animal Technologist (LATG). To become certified, candidates must have work experience in a laboratory animal facility and pass the AALAS examination. Beyond major requirements within the animal science department, you may consider Northeast Alabama Community College medical sonography program as a complementary elective to your primary course of study.

He said he is forty thousand hundred gyres younger than the Arc of Lauma-athorin. I asked him what is the Arc of Lauma-athorin? He said it is a galaxy whose light will not yet reach the earth for three hundred gyres. I told him I do not know what a gyre is. I told him that his answer did not help me understand.

Type.GetNestedTypes Method (BindingFlags)
When overridden in a derived class, searches for the types nested in the current Type, using the specified binding constraints.
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
- bindingAttr
A bitmask comprised of one or more BindingFlags that specify how the search is conducted.
Zero, to return null.
Return ValueType: System.Type[]
An array of Type objects representing all the types nested in the current Type that match the specified binding constraints (the search is not recursive), or an empty array of type Type, if no nested types are found that match the binding constraints.
The search for nested types is not recursive.
The GetNestedTypes method does not return types in a particular order, such as alphabetical or declaration order. Your code must not depend on the order in which types are returned, because that order varies.
The following BindingFlags filter flags can be used to define which nested types to include in the search:
You must specify either BindingFlags.Public or BindingFlags.NonPublic to get a return.
Specify BindingFlags.Public to include public nested types in the search.
Specify BindingFlags.NonPublic to include non-public nested types (that is, private, internal, and protected nested types) in the search.
This method returns only the nested types of the current type. It does not search the base classes of the current type. To find types that are nested in base classes, you must walk the inheritance hierarchy, calling GetNestedTypes at each level.
BindingFlags.Instance and BindingFlags.Static are ignored.
Calling this method with only the BindingFlags.Public flag or only the BindingFlags.NonPublic flag will return the specified nested types and does not require any other flags.
See System.Reflection.BindingFlags for more information.
If the current Type represents a type parameter in the definition of a generic type or generic method, this method searches the nested types of the class constraint.
If a nested type is generic, this method returns its generic type definition. This is true even if the enclosing generic type is a closed constructed type.
If the current Type represents a generic type defined in C#, Visual Basic, or C++, its nested types are all generic even if they have no generic parameters of their own. This is not necessarily true of nested types defined in dynamic assemblies or compiled with the Ilasm.exe (IL Assembler).
For information on nested generic types, and on constructing nested generic types from their generic type definitions, see MakeGenericType.
