June, you are doing so well, it all looks on the up now. Well done you.
Sharon, hope you and daughter are making good progress.
Steph, hope all went well getting your new car, what did you get, can see you behind the wheel of a Ferrari, lol.

Morning Sue. The heating is as high as it can be ready for the 'keeper' and his 4pawed friend to return and thaw out from their freezing frosty walk round the lake ! It seems so cruel that they are there and I'm comfortably admiring this gorgeous festive sample. I bet it looked so dramatic in its original black and white colour combination, but I expect there would be the odd comment regarding the colour scheme not being 'christmassy' enough, it looks amazing in the red and white though Sue, and I'm sure whoever gets chosen will be thrilled to bits with it. My Wednesday card win was also a stunning red and white festive card and it's there right at the front of my shelf with the guilding wax as company where I placed it about two years ago 😊 and I look at it every day. The way the floral element cascades all down the left side of this sample is beautiful and amazing, and you couldn't have chosen a better sentiment in my opinion as it does give that air of peace even though you have used a strong colour as it's main base to sit on. A stunning card to give away Sue. Same colour as the new car too lol.
I hope you can use the hug that's on its way Sue, just hear on full power for 5 seconds as it's rather chilly at the no and a warm hug always feels that little more comforting when you need one ☺ have a good day and stay warm xxx

Good morning Sue and crafters all.
This card is beautiful, although I am a black and white person this colourway is Christmas!!!
( I am from a city that has two rugby league teams and those are their colours.
Pam - you are proud of your Northeast routes as I am my East Yorkshire ones. Hope is not to cold up their today, we have frost and icy puddles!!!
Well Peter's Doctors was a fiasco, yesterday's hospital one was worse. The appointment was for his Macmillan nurse - she thought he looked dehydrated and his blood test had showed him as aneamic, she arranged for more blood tests and for him to be assessed for admission on ward 12 . We had to wait for the results to come through.
They gave him a bed and me a comfy chair offered us drinks and sandwiches at lunchtime and we waited, and waited and at three (3) pm a young doctor came and said he could go HOME, he had a water infection that was what made him sick 😷 on Sunday and Monday so given antibiotics and an anti sickness tablet, at the moment he is fast asleep!!!!!
June Smith so pleased you are feeling happier in yourself now you are moving more.
Stephanie hope you got your new wheels!!!!
Love and crafty hugs to all,
Tina T xxxx

Lovely lovely card, Sue, red and white always looks festive. Perfectly showcases your various leaves, too, though at the moment having a mini obsession with the leaves from the Family Tree, as you did throughout the new release! Those and the poppies are a favourite combination.
Fluffycat - hoping for improvement soon for your husband. Jay will likely turn into a womaniser and/or fighter if not 'nipped in the bud' soon, have to wish he gets the chop if you'll excuse expression.
Laine - yes, hand rears always special and would like to find them homes a) for their sake instead of being part of a gang and b) they are likely to outlive us. Heck. Not easy, though, always seem to get more duffs among the few jewels when home seeking and no longer seem to have the heart for it. Status quo is easier! And we love them!!
Well wishes for all who need them. Pam, yes, with you on Molly and Melody, lived through their problems for so long and do so hope things are now better for them all.

Love how much difference it makes using a variety of foliage dies. Although I have most of them I seem to stick to just one kind on a card, me thinks its time I tried to mix them up a little.
Love the card but mostly love the way you challenge us to think differently, with your ideas.
Have a happy day everyone

Pam, I knew you lived in Hartlepool from when I went with the children from school to the Marina. I'm in Newcastle (born & bred), my mother's middle name was Shotton!! Look after that chest.
Tina you and Peter have had another right royal mess up, hope you don't have any more.

To My Wonderful Friend Sue,
"WOW WOW WOW" Who Wouldn't Want To Win This Truly Tremendous Beautiful Card,
Well Me Being Me!!! Would Have Loved It In "Black And White" As I Just Love Those Colours Together,
But I Have To Say I Also Adore The Richness Of The "Red And White" I Haven't Got The Mask Or The
Very Stunning "Berry Red Texture Paste" So I'm Going To Try Something Different, I Love The Delicate
Vellum Poinsettia's With The Black Dazzlers In The Centre, (I've So Enjoyed Making My Poinsettia's In
White And Going Around The Edges With A Gold Pen Or Silver, How You've Shown Us In The Past, Then Sugaring Them)
I Just Love The Outstanding Array Of Holly Branches, Berry Sprigs, Also The Beautiful Pine Twigs.
Then Using The Truly Stunning Ornate Holly Frame (Which I'm Pleased To Say I Have) I Just Love The Peace
Sentiment And Now I Always Cut More So I Can Stack Them On Top Of Each Other.
Sue Thank You So Very Much For Sharing Today's Extremely Exquisite, Elegant, Very Beautiful Christmas Card I'm Going
To Try This In Some Way In Black/White Also The Red/White, Maybe That Stunning Shiny Dark Blue Card And White,
I Can't Recall It's Proper Name But Its Extremely Beautiful.
Sue I As Always Appreciate Everything You Do, You Inspire Me Each And Every Day,
And I Can't Begin To Thank You Enough For That.......
Take Great Care Sue
Wonderful Warmest Fond Wishes To Colin And Heather
Love And Huge Hugs 🤗 To Yourself Sue

Every element stands out on this card without one fighting with the other. It is a beautiful card. The true red card and paste colours complement each other perfectly. Nothing else that I have seen so far this year says Christmas quite like this card - really. Choice of parchment for your floral element is perfect. 'Peace' is a wonderful thing to wish for others. You need nothing more. Perfection.

A glorious Christmas card. Each detail of your card is exquisite and I love how all aspects come together. The background of the masked Berry Red Sparkle Texture Paste effect is stunning on this red and white card. Your composition of light and dark colors and solid card stock and the vellum is perfect. Wish I had thought of it!

Good evening lovely Sue and her crafty crew!
This stunning creation incorporates some of my most favourite elements, the vellum poinsettias and red texture paste on red card for a tone on tone look, just scrumptious. White and Red for Christmas is another favourite, especially when accented by your lovely foliage and black dazzlers. This is a superb card and whilst i don't have this particular mask i do have very other element so this will be a card on my must do list this weekend i think:-) Every week i pray that i will be the lucky recipient of your giveaway masterpiece, but at this time of year more so because i think your Christmas cards cannot be beaten for stylishness.....maybe one day i will be lucky but in the meantime i will sit back and admire from afar:-)
Slight change of plan today, was meant to be going shopping but changed my mind after a sleepless night. Could have taken the opportunity to get another card completed but i didn't have the physical or indeed creative energy required so watched Judge Rinder....i was slightly disappointed that he didn't give his verdict in the style of the Rumba, maybe he was struggling with the characterisation:-)
P, you are a gem and such a big softy, i would love to adopt more fur babies but think Brodie would hit the roof...he's the jealous type...so i think it will be a while before we have another kitten to contend with. I think its lovely how all of yours seem to get along so well, what's your secret?
June, hope you enjoyed your craft class and got on well at the hospitalxxx
Hugs to all our fellow Wilsonettes who are ill, in recovery or caring for a loved onexxx
I'll bid you all an early goodnight, i am in desperate need of some beauty sleep. Wishing sweet dreams to all my bestiesxxxx

Hello Sue,
I saw this card this morning and was interrupted! How rude! Lol! It really is one of your Christmas Masterpieces! I love it! I particularly like how it showcases so many of your beautiful Christmas foliage Dies! They all look superb together! Thank you!
I have so many cards still to make but have been tidying my craft room tonight! I seem to make such a mess with the children's stuff each week as well! Only two more weeks to go!! Your Christmas Gemini Dies look really good stuck around a tealight holder and coloured with glass pens! They stick really well with Cosmic Shimmer Dries Clear Glue!
I have to confess I haven't read all the comments today , sorry!
Will try to catch up tomorrow, all being well!
Love to everyone, Myra xxx

Stunning card, so elegant, the dies are beautiful as are the colours and embellishments.
- 1 December 2016 at 04:16
Absolutely beautiful. Red is definitely the right colour for this card. I read your description several times to find out how the gorgeous flowers had acquired a hint of colour before I realised that the background colour was showing through the vellum.
Tina T., hope Peter soon feels a bit better. He could really do without the upheavals of his appointments over the last couple of days.
Take care everyone.

Suction power has become an important bullet point when it comes to selling vacuums. But what really matters to consumers is how easy they are to empty. The annoying bags of yesteryear have been replaced with easy to use trapdoor canisters, which now see further improvement with Electrolux's new UltraCaptic cleaners that compress the dust into an easily disposable disc.
Besides being easier to empty, the compressor also means the UltraCaptics can hold more dirt before requiring you to visit a garbage can. And if you're into industrial-design that makes a ho-hum appliance look like a futuristic compact fusion reactor, these canister vacs have that in spades too. The basic version, the UCOrigin will set you back $US390, while the most advanced in the collection, the UCDeluxe, bumps that to almost $US550. [Electrolux via Appliancist]

Southwest Rotisserie Chicken Wraps
yields 6 servings
Give your boring leftovers new life! This dish is a great way to use up leftover chicken, but it is yummy enough that I have even made a fresh roasted chicken to use in this recipe.
- 1 whole rotisserie chicken, skin discarded, meat shredded with 2 forks
- 3⁄4 cup canned black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 (8.75-ounce) can whole kernel yellow corn, drained, or 1 cup frozen corn kernels, defrosted (or kernels from 2 fresh corn on the cob-steamed)
- 1/2 small red onion, peeled, very finely chopped (about 1/2 cup)
- 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, stems discarded, leaves chopped
- 1/2 cup favorite bottled barbecue sauce, such as KC Masterpiece®
- 2 tablespoons low-fat mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons parve sour cream, such as Tofutti brand Sour Supreme®
- 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 6 (10-inch) flour tortillas
- 1 head Boston lettuce, leaves chopped (about 6 cups, loosely packed)
- 3 plum tomatoes, halved, seeded, cut into 1/4-inch dice
1. In a medium bowl, toss the shredded chicken, beans, corn, red onion, and cilantro. Set aside.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk the barbecue sauce, mayonnaise, parve sour cream, salt, and pepper. Pour the sauce over the chicken mixture and stir to mix well.
3. The tortillas are easier to roll when they are warm, so heat each one for about 10 seconds in the microwave. Lay the tortillas flat on a work surface. Top with lettuce and tomatoes. Pile on 1 cup of the chicken mixture.

Dear Sabres,
Stop taking stupid penalties. I mean it. It is easier to play hockey with five skaters, not four. You had six penalties in the second period alone. When you take penalties, you keep your scorers off the ice. As much as I adore a good penalty kill, I do not adore having six penalty kill attempts in one period. Please keep that in mind on Monday.
Frustratingly yours,
– Shots Off the Crossbar
Dear Goose,
Your straight arm of Danny Briere in the first period was a thing of beauty. You became the talk of Twitter and I'm pretty sure you made Buffalo smile. Your ass kicking of Hartnall also was admirable. You beat the snot spewing grin right off his face. And you didn't break your hand on his hard head. Kudos to that.
Honkingly honky honk,
– Shots Off the Crossbar
Dear Nathan Gerbe,
Outstanding work in body-slamming Claude Giroux. Way to show him that just because you are fun-sized doesn't mean you're a pushover.
Your fellow height-challenged person,
-Shots Off the Crossbar
Dear Andrej Sekera,
I was quite worried about you when Mike Richards came and poked you in the face while you were writhing on the ice in what appeared to be "man pain." He broke all rules of good sportmanship by doing so. But I should expect nothing less from a Flyer.
Way to suck it up and come back on the ice.
Respectfully yours,
Shots Off the Crossbar
Dear Crunchy,
What. The. Hell? Was tonight's game needed to average out your outstanding performance in Game 1? While I will admit that you did have some great saves tonight, there were quite a few moments when I wondered what was going through your head. I'm also surprised that Lindy didn't park your rump on the bench for the third period. Not only would a benching have sparked the team, but also prevented you from getting killed by an overzealous Flyer.You did take quite a few checks, whacks and smacks tonight.
On the plus side, I did enjoy your yammering at Mike Richards after he poked at a wounded Sekera. I'm sure you had a pithy, witty and well-though out retort to his actions. I would expect nothing less from you.
Get some sleep and come back strong for Game 3.
Respectfully yours,
Shots Off the Crossbar
Dear Tyler Myers,
Stop pushing players into your goalie! It's all fun and games until someone gets hurt, and 99% of the time, it will be your goalie that gets hurt. Do we understand each other? Good.
Shots Off the Crossbar
Dear Internet Gods,
Please take pity on the poor reporters and let them have at least one game with a dependable internet connection. I know that asking for constant connectivity is a wild and crazy request, but the role of the reporter in the 21st century requires the use of the internet. I missed reading Sabres Edge this game and want it back for Game 3.

As we found out watching Kimi the driving instructor mumble his way into a crash today, giving directions on how to drive is hard. What's the worst you've done?
TheCrudMan piped up to Kimi's defense, saying he hadn't done any better himself.
My instruction to my friend at autocross was pretty bad as well. (I'm not the best driver myself...)
"Throttle throttle throttle...brakes maybe I don't know? Look ahead. Keep looking ahead. Woah look at that bird! You're doing great! No! No! You suck! FULL THROTTLE NOW!!!! Turn! Turn! No no no straight! Keep doing what you're doing! NOW DON'T!"
I purposefully don't give advice on how to drive my VW, leaving people to figure out where first gear is on their own , just like how I did. Hint: it's not where you think it is.
I did, however, once tell a friend that you should always brake before a corner to transfer weight to the front wheels, giving my buddy enough confidence to plow a minivan off the road and into a sand bank somewhere near the Mexican border.
We've already covered the worst kinds of forum advice, and the worst car buying advice, but what's the worst driving advice you've ever given?

The Australian National Wavesailing Championship is due to take place from the 16th to the 23rd of February within the Illawarra region of New South Wales. The Australian Nationals is an annual event that moves from State to State and is open to local and international sailors. The last event (see all pictures in the gallery at the bottom of the page) within the Illawarra was won by Jaeger Stone who just beat Ben Severne, the man behind international brand, and 2013 Nationals sponsor Severne Sails.
Event Director, Warren Holder who is based in Gerroa (one of the contest locations) is one of Australia's best-known wave sailors having won his first trophy in 1988. Warren has been a driving force behind competitive wave sailing in Australia and would love to see some of the world's best compete at his home break or Windang 30 minutes north.
Locations – why you should attend:
Gerroa is perfectly positioned and orientated to maximise the North Easterly wind flow which is the predominate wind through summer. Thanks to the local topography, the wind in Gerroa is usually 10 knots stronger than anywhere else on the East Coast of Australia. Facing South, the wind comes off the beach at the perfect angle to groom the waves and get maximum speed and power for the best down the line conditions you'll find.
If the North Easterly wind is not blowing, it is usually replaced by a Southerly which also kicks up some great swell. When a Southerly blows, the event will move 30 minutes north to Windang which on its day can be one of the best starboard tack sailing spots in the world. A rock wall produces perfect pealing waves for endless bottom turns and great jumping on the way back out.
Competitors will be divided into the following divisions:
Open Pro
Masters (over 35 yrs)
Grand Masters (over 45 yrs)
Legends (over 55 yrs)
Youth (under 21 yrs)
Juniors (under 17 yrs)
Groms (under 15 yrs)
We have been lucky to have had over 10 days sailing in the last three weeks, so it looks like we should get some great contestable wind and waves in February.
Warren Holder and the rest of the organising committee look forward to welcoming you all to Gerroa in a little over four weeks. If you are travelling through the country, but don't have any equipment get in touch with us through our website and we'll link you to our local shop who will be able to help with rental.
Check out more about the event right here.

Ok ok, that's kind of mean. Here's this guy, living with this disability, trying to fight a war. And then there's the guy following him around, knifing and shooting him. We should all be a little more respectful.
But keep the fire ready just in case things go bad.

Led by EDRC
ANAD's longest serving program is our eating disorder, self-help support groups. Self-help group support can help tremendously when someone is suffering with an eating disorder, because it allows them to share what they are feeling and thinking in a safe, non-threatening environment where they will not be judged for having an eating disorder. Caring, community support can help replace eating disorders.
If you are nervous or afraid to start a support groups, please don't hesitate to contact the Support Group Leader ahead of time to tell them about your concerns.

Obama touts Sandy response in final Fla. visit
South Floridians know hurricanes – and many of them are former New Yorkers with relatives and friends still recovering from Hurricane Sandy.
President Obama made that connection Sunday during his final re-election campaign appearance in the Sunshine State, just as tempers – and lawsuits – flared over early voting delays in neighboring Dade County.
Speaking to a Hollywood, Fla., crowd that local officials estimated at 23,000, Obama trumpeted his response to last week's hurricane, noting he's been talking to "governors and mayors every single day" about the recovery effort.
"I want people to know that when I talk to them, I'm talking on behalf of America," Obama added. "And I've told them that we will be with them every step of the way until they've fully recovered from the hardships and the crisis. And we're going to do it together because that's how we do it in the United States of America."
Obama didn't mention the turmoil over early voting in Dade County during his 25-minute stump speech. Earlier Sunday, the Florida Democratic Party filed a federal lawsuit over long waits to vote and the Miami Herald reported that Miami-Dade local officials locked the doors for an hour at a local polling place because of high demand.
Both campaigns have a shot at Florida's 27 electoral votes that are among the biggest prizes on Tuesday. An NBC/Wall Street Journal poll out Saturday had Obama ahead two points, while a Tampa Bay Times/Bay News 9/Miami Herald survey showed Romney up 51 percent to 45 percent.
Warming up the Broward County crowd at the Obama rally were Pitbull, a Cuban-American rapper and Miami native, former Gov. Charlie Crist and Rep. Debbie Wasserman-Schultz, the local congresswoman and Democratic National Committee chairwoman.
Wasserman-Schultz reminded Floridians of the 527-vote margin that made the difference in the state in the 2000 presidential race. "This year, it could be even closer and the stakes are even higher," she said.
Crist touted Obama's bipartisan chops by linking the administration's efforts on Hurricane Sandy to the BP oil spill that crippled Florida's tourism industry and shut down its beaches for several months in 2010.
"He was here day after day after day just like he was kind enough to do for Gov. Christie up in New Jersey and our friends in the Northeast," Crist said. "And you know what, then he didn't care that at the time that I was a Republican. He didn't care this week that Gov Christie's a Republican. He only knew that people needed help and he was there to help them."

Joe's going to hate this.
Three new characters have been confirmed for the second season of A&E's "Bates Motel". It looks like Norma is going to get a new boyfriend, a new friend in town and a brother who shows up in town. Chances are they'll all be dead before the end of the season but for now let's just sit back and drink in all the love I feel flowing in this post. God that feels good inside you doesn't it?
Damian Shannon and Mark Swift, the guys who wrote the "Friday the 13th" remake have apparently gotten in bed with the folks at New Line for a new horror flick that they are apparently calling a "potential franchise starter". No other details are available but they've also said the film won't be found footage and won't be micro-budget. They didn't say it won't be awful though. So ya know, that's still on the table.
Elijah Wood is producing a horror-comedy film called "Cooties". Rainn Wilson, Alison Pill, Jack MacBrayer, Jorge Garcia and Nasim Pedrad have all been added to the movie about a group of rabid kids who terrorize their teachers. I assume all of these people will be teachers, or this will be the worst "teen" casting since "Scream 4".
Paul Reiser, the poor man's Richard Lewis, has been added to the cast of "Life After Beth". John C. Reilly and Aubrey Plaza are also in the film about a man who tries to reconnect with his girlfriend after she comes back from the dead. No joke here. Paul Reiser is awful at everything he does and must be stopped. If you say "Mad About You" was great I will slap the taste out of your mouth. If you say you don't know what "Mad About You" is I will slap the taste out of your mouth.
"This script is terrible and only the guy who co-wrote 'Predators' can fix it". Something I never thought would be said but apparently someone at Paramount uttered those fateful words because Michael Finch has been picked up to re-write the script for "Hellified", a new film about a group of criminals sent to Hell to stop the end of the world. He's kind of like a superman for movie scripts you aren't going to like.
John C. Reilly can do no wrong in my eyes. Alright I'll admit I never saw that movie where he plays a vampire who runs a carnival, or something like that, but everything I've seen him in has been pure gold. So I'm excited for "Life After Beth", a new zombie comedy flick he's going to star in along with Aubrey Plaza, the depressing girl from "Parks and Recreation". The film is based off of a UK short and will be 100 times better because Reilly is American and we don't drink tea.
According to James Franco himself he probably won't have a role in "Dawn of the Planet of the Apes" after some shifts at Fox's big boy table. Nothings confirmed but Franco had apparently had a small role in the sequel but is now fairly sure the part has been cut. He then went on to say nobody calls him anymore and he's so lonely. He then sobbed uncontrollably for 45 minutes.
I don't know where the hell this came from but "The American Scream" is now available on DVD and it sounds pretty awesome. The documentary follows 3 different families as they transform their homes into spooky time attractions for the Halloween season. Sounds like a dandy Christmas gift for that special someone on your list. Wait, next week is Christmas? Where the hell have I been!?

It began one day in February 1988 with a brief discussion between Chrysler President Robert A. Lutz and Tom Gale, chief of design.
"I was walking down the hall, Bob called me in the office -- and it was just a five-minute discussion," said Gale. "I can remember it like it was yesterday. He said,'I've been thinking more and more. We really ought to kick off doing a project like a reborn Cobra.' That was our intent right from the very beginning."
What Lutz had in mind was a sports car with a modern engine management system, new-think transmission, computer-aided suspension design, and world-class tires. The Viper would take advantage of the latest in modern technology. But it would not be a gadget-laden, high-tech wonder bristling with turbochargers, anti-lock brakes, four-wheel steering, adjustable shock-absorber damping, and all-wheel drive. Instead, the Viper would take a mechanically pure approach -- loads of power fed to simple rear drive. Brute force. As in the Shelby Cobra, there would exist an unfiltered communication between driver, car, and road.
However casual the pair's conversation may have been on the surface, several influences came together during those five minutes. One was centered around a concept vehicle designed by Chrysler's Pacifica design studio. The stylists had been exploring the packaging of a V-8 convertible sports car. Around 1985, the idea came together and a static concept vehicle called the Izod was produced.
Another influence was a late-'80s engine development program. Lutz was one of the executives overseeing the truck division at Chrysler during this time and he craved a new stump-puller gasoline engine that would boost Dodge's image with big-pickup buyers.
A man who would prove vital to Viper, Francois Castaing, was at that time head of Chrysler's Jeep and Truck Engineering division. He had come over in July 1987, after a career in European motorsports, where he helped turbocharge Formula 1 as technical director of Renault's Formula 1 effort.
"One of the first major projects we got going was to put a new big V-10, a big gas truck engine, on its way," Castaing recalled. "Jokingly, we said, 'That's the kind of engine that back in the '60s, Bizzarrini and DeTomaso would have bought to create the great sports car of back then. You know, very powerful, torquey, big gas American engine, put into a nice body.' And we kept saying, 'Well, maybe we should sell the engine to people like that.' Bob [Lutz] owns a Cobra, so Cobra was another car we talked about. One day -- and I don't remember how it happened -- but the idea of creating a concept car like the Cobra, using the big gas truck engine as a core, came up."
"It occurred to me," Lutz explained, "that Chrysler had all the bits and pieces in the parts bin. Whether it's the truck bin or the car bin, who cares? But we had all the pieces in the bin to do a show car that would pick up on the theme of the Cobra."
Using the brash Cobra as a touchstone brought to the forefront another irreplaceable influence: Carroll Shelby. Shelby had hooked up with Chrysler as a "performance consultant" in 1982, and by 1986, Shelby Automobiles Inc. was turning out hot, limited-edition Dodges. Shelby said that at the time Lutz approached him, he was in fact building a sports car of his own and trying to interest Chrysler in it. But along came Lutz and Castaing. Shelby recalled Lutz's proposal: "'Why don't we build a sports car, something like the old 427 Cobra, only let's build a 1990s version of it -- and what did I think of the idea?' We sat down about 30 minutes and conceptualized the car. He wanted to do what I'd been trying to get done around the company for nine years. In 30 minutes we had the concept . . . . And we ended up with the Viper, where it might have been years before we would have gotten management to agree to build what I was building."
Around that time Shelby was awaiting a heart transplant and therefore didn't have a direct hand in Viper's engineering or design. But the fathers of the Viper regard him as the "conscience" of the car, a voice that kept it true to the ethic of power and simplicity.

The Porsche Panamera Sport Turismo concept car is explained by Porsche as "an evolutionary, sport body concept," but what they mean is, it's as awesome as an everyday Porsche should be with way, way more practicality. It might even be a better-looking fit to the Panamera body than the standard sedan. Screw that, it is.
Yes, it has hybrid technology, but honestly, it's to be expected with new cars and we're over letting it sour our opinions, not to mention, Porsche does hybrid very, very well.
The Panamera Sport Turismo is a big step, kind of, for Porsche. It seems like they are finally following through with what they intended the original Panamera to be but were too nervous to truly introduce. However, with the success of other awesome luxury, hatch-wearing cars like the A7, CLS63 Shooting Brake, E63 Wagon and even the CTS-V Wagon, Porsche is ready to join the crew and set the standard. Of all those cars, the Panamera is a clear leader, if nothing else it's tied at the top with a few.
Back to that hybrid stuff; The Sport Turismo is badged with "e-hybrid" which refers to the drivetrain here. What does it add up to, though? A combined output of 416hp and roughly 60mpg. In any car, that's pretty stellar, but a Porsche, and one that looks this good? Hell yes. Oh, it'll get to 60 in under 6 sec, too. And if your commute is less than 20 miles, you can get there on electric power alone, as long as your hours are longer than the 2 ½ it takes to recharge.
Porsche Panamera Sport Turismo
Body: Sport Turismo with four individual seats, four doors and boot lid.
Drive system: Parallel full hybrid; 3-litre V6 engine, charged; hybrid module with electric motor and disengagement clutch; rear-wheel drive.
Power: 333 hp V6 engine
approx. 95 hp hybrid module
416 hp combined peak power
Suspension: Double wishbone front suspension; electo-mechanical power steering; multi-link rear suspension.
Length 194.88 in
Width 78.34 in
Height 55.15 in
Energy supply: Lithium-ion battery with 9.4 kWh capacity and plug-in charging system compatible with electrical power grid.
Performance: Top speed, pure electric mode approx. 80 mph
Acceleration: 0 – 62 mph < 6.0 s
Consumption (NEDC): Combined < .92 gal/62 km
CO2 emissions: Combined < 82 g/km
Range (NEDC): Pure electric mode: > 18 m
Charging time: up to 2.5 hours

Halloween has its origins in Druidism; it was originally a festival celebrated by Celts at the beginning of winter. An adequate treatment of it probably requires a study of Celtic culture. We don't have time for that, except to note that the Celts were an early Indo-European people who occupied territory from Britain and Spain in the west to Asia Minor in the east. In the English-speaking world, Irishmen, Welshmen, Cornishmen, and Scottish Highlanders are said to be descended from the Celts.
The Hastings Encyclopedia of Religion and Ethics deals with the Celtic calendar and notes that the year was divided into two unequal halves, summer and winter.
The winter half of the Celtic year began on Samhain (pronounced Sah-win) eve, that is, on October 31. Samhain was a festival of the beginning of winter and was intended (says Hastings) "to assist the powers of growth in their conflict with winter's death." But Samhain seems to have been the occasion for other festivals as well, including the festival of beginnings, and a harvest festival. Accordingly, it was at once an orgiastic feast (as were all primitive festivals of beginnings), and a festival of the dead. Halloween retains customs from both aspects of the Samhain celebration.
The old Halloween custom of throwing nuts into a bonfire, or a shoe over a roof, recalls Ezekiel's contempt for the king of Babylon who threw arrows into the air, thinking the way they landed would give him the information he needed. Some Samhain divination rites "had an erotic character."
Scholars tend to regard divination rites as quaint. In the Bible, God says divination rites are detestable and everyone who practices divination is detestable. That's the divine perspective, and it helps explain the refusal of many Christian people to attend Halloween parties, no matter how innocuous the parties may be.
Christian churches attempted to displace pagan notions and pagan customs associated with Halloween, but they were not successful. Halloween cannot be changed, but in the Christian community it can be replaced with church-sponsored programs. At some time in the year we Christians should recall the lives of departed believers—not just those listed in the Bible, but also men and women who have enriched the church by their godly lives. Why not do it on Halloween?
We should remember our contemporaries—believers whom we have known personally who have passed away. The Epistle to the Hebrews says, "Remember those who led you, who spoke the word of God to you; and considering the outcome of their way of life, imitate their faith."
That text tells us why it's helpful to recall the lives of godly people we have known: that we may contemplate the outcome of their lives, and imitate their faith. There are other values in a meeting convened to remember those who have passed into heaven. Believers who have lost friends or family members could be encouraged to talk about them openly. What the Bible teaches about the state of the dead who die in the Lord could be reviewed, and the occasion could be a fine opportunity for proclaiming that Christ is Conqueror over death and hell and Satan.
With a little enlightened imagination every church should be able to come up with something better than just sitting out Halloween, deploring its pagan, ugly elements.
