Hello Everyone!
I hope the spring has been treating all of you well!
I've been on the road with The Avett Brothers full-time, and during my time at home I'm helping my husband Andy Stack launch his new album with his band Buffalo Stack (of which I am a sometimes member and all-time biggest fan!). I designed their album artwork and website, and we'll be launching a crowdfunding campaign any day.
For those of you who are wondering, I will no longer be playing with The Duhks. After a three-year hiatus I tried again to make something of all the years we had put in trying to "make it". Alas, it was not meant to be! All I want to say about that is that sometimes you have to learn a lesson more than once for it to really integrate… and that I am incredibly blessed that The Avetts contacted me when they did! I feel like the luckiest person ever.
They are a great group of people and working with them is a huge honor and pleasure. I'll keep posting more (and twittering) about my life on the road with them so stay tuned!

Narrative Graphics
Author Alix
What sounds more fun than narrative and graphics in a combined post, eh!? Narrative graphics are little anecdotal creations that generate a chuckle or two and look rather good. It takes intelligent communication via the elements used and a selective choice of what visual devices to use. Read on to learn about the art of portraying messages with concise and effective graphic designs.
Number 1- Just your average chocolate bunny interaction
This entry plays on the notion that Easter bunny chocolates are edible in their entirety. One gets their butt munched, deciding to tell his friend and the other- bless him- get's his ears removed, so can't even respond, setting up an illimitable conversation.
Get the Tee from SnorgTees.
Inanimate object feuds…
…that are actually animated in this graphic! Giving the (normally very average) objects a character immediately sets the scene for humour. Secondly, us viewers understand the situation by reading their little facial expressions, seeing their weapons, encouraging us to choose a side. Paper guy is always on the fence, we like him. Anyone for an intense game of rock paper scissors? Again why not get a T shirt from Snorgtees, entitled 'Mexican Standoff.'
Maths fans this is for you. Who really knows their symbols and giggled at this one? Pi, do be rational and square root of negative one should probably get real.
Pi be Rational can be purchased at Snorgtees.
This is the work of designer Anneke Short based in London, who has made a very literal narrative with her use of graphics. Using type to convey the message is simple, bold and straight to it. And, the message itself is actually quite true. Comic Sans when are you going to stop infecting our design lives with your presence.
See more of her literal amusing stories on Behance.
This is an oxymoron. Full stop. No explanation needed. And no, no one wishes it was true, but please everyone eat your greens they are wonderful for your insides! That's our moral of the day over with thanks to designer Glenn Jones. He even has a few more of these quirky graphic entries on AND they are available in T Shirt form.
Welcome to irony city. The following graphics pretty much tell it as it is using some of the most globally famous brands, but employing a small name alteration. These are clever!
Do you agree with Swedish designer Viktor Hertz? He deserves some recognition for his honest logos.

Video: Metallica Perform "Don't Tread on Me" for the First Time Ever
May 11, 2012 at 8:32pm
Big deal, this song is kind of boring. Most of the black album is pretty boring. I thought it was more interesting when Metallica played master of puppets all the way through live. It was awesome to hear songs like Disposable Heroes, Leper Messiah and Damage Inc live. I wouldn't mind hearing and seeing Metallica play there previous albums live. And Justice for All, Ride the lightning and Kill em All.
May 10, 2012 at 4:10pm
That is the best live performance I have seen in a long time. Metallica is spot on. I hope my friend Slawek is enjoying the concert in Warsaw. He loves Metallica too.

I travel this road daily. If I incur damage to my vehicle, I will definitely contact an attorney.

Because you know of all these problems you need to take another road till it is fixed. I am a tax payer just like you and I am not paying taxes to see them go to YOU! Get a life little mister.

Excuse me, I do have a life albeit not perfect but I choose to be happy regardless of my circumstances.I feel sorry for the anger you hold; I was just stating the facts. Not that it is any of your business but if I was to go any other route, it would not make economic sense and it would further add to the earth's pollutuion unnecessarily. Having the town fix this road would not mean that your tax money would go to benefit only ME but perhaps a doctor that one day will save your life...after he has attended the medical school coming next year to Quinnipiac and has traveled that road daily to study medicine at the North Haven campus!!!!!!!!!!!!!

6 Ways to Save On Your Utility Bill
By Jihan Thompson
Change your bulbs
Invest in compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs). Theyll cost you slightly more (at least a buck more per bulb) than the heat-generating incandescent variety, but they use less power and last on average ten times longer.
Kais Tolmats
Warmer chills
Who doesnt love turning up the air conditioner on a hot summer day? You can still keep the A.C. on, just raise the room temperature by as little as 5 degrees, which could save you as much as 15% on cooling costs.
Curt Pickens
Do laundry in the cold
We wont ask you to take cold showers, but we do suggest washing your duds in cold water, which expends roughly half as much energy as hot rinses. To save even more when doing the wash and fold: do laundry at night (during off-peak billing hours) and clean out the lint tray before starting the dryer.
Eric Hood
Even when off, plugged-in electronics are still huge energy suckers and account for roughly five percent of all electricity used in the U.S., costing consumers nearly $4 billion a year. Use a power strip to conserve energy when appliances are idle.
Nicholas Homrich
Don't turn off the lights
Seriously, leave the lights on. Just install motion sensors that turn off lights automatically when theres no longer any movement in a room or hallway. While the lights might cut out while youre busy working virtually motionless at the computer, consider it a healthy reminder to take a break from staring at that screen.
Steen Sundland
Use the dishwasher
If you think youre saving water by hand-washing dishes, think again. According to Consumer Reports, simply pre-rinsing your dirty dishes uses roughly 20 gallons of heated water a day. Just scrape the food off and drop them in the washer.

Review of "A Family is a Family is a Family: A Rosie O'Donnell Celebration"
Presumably, adults wrote the following comments on New York Daily News' review of A Family.
Commenter Scotchman says:
The issue is Rosie is trying to make Gay Marriage Mainstream. It wont ever be acceptable in my eyes. Familys are ment to have a Mother and Father. We need to stop trying to make everything in this country Politcally correct. If it is wrong its wrong. And GAY marrige is wrong. Enough with the attacks on the Family. QUIT TRYING TO MAKE OK.
Commenter Blurose agrees:
She (Rosie) is not showing "the love" she is openly showing the perversion andtrying to force acceptance of that. Anyone who supports ANY morals at all knows that this is WRONG, wrong, wrong, and has been wrong, wrong, wrong, since the beginning of time. It is horrifying to watch our country going down the toilet with the acceptance of these immoralities.
Critics, including The New York Times, suggest that Rosie's special is too shallow, that it lacks substance. But the fact is, in 2010, marriage equality is still not a reality in 43 states; more than a dozen states are actively considering legislation to ban same-sex couples from adoption; California, one of the most progressive states in the country, is holding a hearing to decide the legality of Proposition 8; and vocal groups of Americans think same-sex families are a perversion.
If some adults refuse to listen to reason, perhaps they will listen to their kids.
A Family Is a Family Is a Family is certainly a deliberate play on Gertrude Stein's "Rose is a rose is a rose is a rose" from Sacred Emily — but if you're looking for poets, you don't have to look much farther than this gaggle of ragamuffins.
"Love is hugs," says one.
"Love is when you try to kiss someone on the lips," says another. "BORING!"
But it is a seven-year-old girl that has the most astute observation in the documentary: "Love is a feeling you get from the heart. It can never be removed. It's like a virus. A virus that doesn't have a cure."
As I was watching, I was reminded not of Stein, but of the Greek playwright Aeschylus. "Bless the children," he wrote in The Libation Bearers, "give them triumph now."
With the help of children like these, may we all triumph over homophobia.
But long live the love virus. "It's like nothing you've ever felt before."

The Monticello Mustangs are two wins shy of a state title, and will take the field tomorrow in state semifinal action. Standing between them and the chance for state gold is Poquoson, the Region I champions out of the Tidewater District.
Poquoson enters at 8-4, and will look to be the roadblock in Monticello's historic run. The Mustangs are 11-1, and won the Region II title by knocking off John Handley in the regional semifinals, 21-17, and rolling past Millbrook in the regional championship, 56-34, in a high scoring affair.
Monticello will come in with an arsenal at offense. Quarterback Michael Graham has matured throughout the course of the season, and has key weapons with running back Takeem Hedgeman, and wide receiver Daniel Lieb. Hedgeman became Central Virginia's all time leading rusher earlier this season.
The winner of tomorrow's semifinal match up will advance to the AA Division Three state final at Liberty University, and face the winner of Brookville and Richlands. Log onto our web channel, wcav.tv, for complete highlights and coverage of tomorrow's action.

The La Costa area of Carlsbad (link is to a virtual tour of Carlsbad with music - turn up your sound), primarily zip code 92009, is one of the better known residential areas along the San Diego North Country coast.
The area began growing in 1965 when several thousand acres of land were purchased and turned into a golf course (now part of the La Costa Resort and Spa), homes constructed, and the Rancho La Costa Inn built for visitors.
The original resort has had several owners and was later renamed La Costa, thus giving the surrounding area its name. Formerly a separate "town" the area was annexed and later became part of Carlsbad, but many still refer to it by its original name.
In the early days La Costa had a reputation as a playground for the rich and famous, many from Hollywood, the Rat Pack being the most well-known. A number of celebrities had homes here along the golf course (Robert Young, for example) or rented properties in the area.
Despite several changes in ownership, the resort remains a popular golf, tennis and spa destination and hosts several golf and tennis tournaments annually, as well as weddings and corporate functions. Recently the owners have developed a series of whole ownership condos on the grounds which have proven to be wildly popular, and expensive (averaging $600/SF and more and usable 120 days out of the year - owners can rent them the remainder of the year for income).
La Costa Resort and Spa is also the site of the Chopra Center, developed and owned by Dr. Deepak Chopra, internationally known for his spiritual teachings and alternative medicine.
The La Costa real estate market covers a broad range of housing options in many styles, including apartment rentals, condominiums, and detached homes, many with reasonably large parcels of land.
High-end properties tend to be gated, and there are a small gated communities along the golf course.
A number of people own second homes here as well as investment properties. Because of the hilly terrain, many homes offer panoramic and beautiful views of the Batiquitos Lagoon, the ocean, the La Costa Resort, and the back country hills. The proximity to the resort and to the beaches make this area a prime vacation and rental market.
As of this writing there were 183 detached Carlsbad homes on the market, ranging in price from $475,000 to $2,750,000; occasionally homes priced in the $3M - $5M range appear on the market as well. For 2006 the median price was $826,00 (essentially unchanged from 2005), with an average price of $877,371 (Note, however, that prices have appreciated 84% since 2001).
A total of 443 detached La Costa homes sold (through the MLS) in 2006 vs. 754 in 2005. Marketing time averaged 63 days, and homes sold at 96% of the asking price, on average, in 2006.
Affordability is an issue in the Carlsbad real estate market, and the California Association of REALTORS reports that less than 10% of the population can afford to purchase the median priced home in the La Costa area of Carlsbad. The good news is that prices, on average, are less than neighboring Encinitas) to the south, and the Aviara area of Carlsbad, to the west, and homes tend to be larger for a comparable price. With the current inventory, buying a home here now may be a good decision, depending on your circumstances and budget.
(8/08 NOTE: Affordability has improved in this area since this article was orignally written).
Depending on where you live, and the current geographic boundaries, your children may go to different school districts. Part of the area is served by San Dieguito Union High School District (Encinitas) and the Carlsbad Schools; others attend schools in the San Marcos School District.
La Costa offers an idyllic Southern California lifestyle, given the area is primarily residential, has beautiful views, and experiences a very pleasant coastal climate all year round.
There are two small shopping centers as well as upscale shops at the resort. Nearby shopping of every description, however, can be found along El Camino Real, a major thoroughfare running north and south from Oceanside to Cardiff.
The Forum (below left), in South Carlsbad is probably the best known upscale shopping area, but residents have easy access to the Carlsbad Premium Outlets Mall to the north. The area is close to the 5, without the noise, so travel to downtown San Diego (about 30 miles) and to LA (about 100 miles) is easy (except during rush hour traffic).
There are few restaurants in the community itself, the best being at the La Costa Resort (Bluefire Grill), however residents can enjoy upscale dining close by in other areas of Carlsbad including the Village, at the Park Hyatt Aviara Resort nearer the coast, and in Encinitas. Vigilucci's (photo below right)offer waterview dining and extraordinary sunsets.
Nearby attractions for residents include miles of Pacific Ocean beaches (South Carlsbad State Beach - photo above right, off coastal Highway 101 to the west), camping facilities, the Flower Fields (off Palomar Road, top right photo), the Museum of Making Music, Legoland, and the historic Rancho Carrillo.
If you are searching for that Southern California home near the ocean, with golf, tennis, shopping and restaurants in and around the area, in a primarily residential community, but with easy access to the city and other coastal amusements, then the La Costa area of Carlsbad may be the ideal choice for you.
The diversity of La Costa homes offers many options for first time, move-up, downsizing, and vacation-home buyers.
And for those of you in other parts of the country, relocation to La Costa may give you the year-round lifestyle you are seeking, away from the cold and snow.
By the way, I have lived in La Costa and know the area very well, so I can provide you with much more information and photos of the area if it appeals to you. I'd love to hear from you if I can assist in any way.

FORT JACKSON, La. (AP) - The New Orleans Saints used a visit to
Plaquemines Parish to raise residents' spirits and announce an
effort to raise funds as well.
Quarterback Drew Brees told the crowd that the team will receive
their Super Bowl rings soon, and some fan will get one just before
the first regular season game.
The Saints plan to raffle a specially-made ring, with all funds
going to aid victims of the Gulf of Mexico oil spill.
Tickets are $2 each, but buyers must make a minimum $10 order.
The winner will be announced before the Sept. 9 regular-season game
against Minnesota.
The Saints hope to raise $1 million through the effort.

The bustle of brick and mortar is ready to resume in Noida Extension. Once the NCR Planning Board (NCRPB) gives the final nod to all development work, the area will soon seal its position as a prime location for residential investments in Delhi-NCR.
Noida Extension promises a bright future post land row
Developers as well as buyers and investors who have put their hard earned money in Noida Extension can breathe a sigh of relief as the impasse over the area is soon going to end. With all required approvals from the Noida Authority in place, except for the final nod from the NCR Planning Board (NCRPB), construction work in the area, that was stalled a year ago, is set to resume. The final approval, according to market sources, should not take more than a month.

- Publisher: Tale of Tales
- Release Date: Feb 6, 2013
Bientôt l'été is a videogame for two players. Two players who pretend to be lovers. They pretend to be lovers separated from each other by lightyears of deep space. They have lonely walks along the shore of a simulated ocean, thinking wistful thoughts of each other. Thoughts from ancient Earth literature by Marguerite Duras.
The empty beach, the strong wind, the gentle music and a small colony of electric seagulls are their only companions. Yet their heart is full and their mind confused. Walk along the shore, until they meet the emptiness.
When it all becomes too much, they run towards each other. Enabled by intergalactic networks, they touch each other's holographic bodies in cyberspace. A surreal game of chess becomes the apparatus through which they, man and woman, can talk. The words they have were given to them, as they have always been to lovers everywhere.
The sea remains, tugging at their hearts when not at their hairs and clothes, as it itself is tugged by the virtual moon. And as great as the desire for the other may be, they cannot stay away from the wind and the waves and the sand. Every time they find a new treasure. An abandoned tennis field. An heap of coal. A dead dog. Ordinary. Absurd. Meaningless. Yet comforting.
Enter a café, exit a villa, enter a casino, exit the ruin of an ancient colonial mansion. We know this is not real. So it doesn't surprise us. Nothing surprises us. It doesn't matter when you feel the pain of love. Of being in love, of falling in love, of leaving in love. There is no such thing as time. There is only love. And it never stops. No matter how much it hurts.… Expand

Positive: 1 out of 12

Negative: 3 out of 12
Apr 4, 2013If you decide to pick up the latest artistic experiment from Tale of Tales keep in mind that the game's subject matter with a little bit of background can start to make a lot of sense. It just requires you to think outside of the video game medium.
Feb 18, 2013It's never easy to recommend nontraditional gaming experiences as Bientôt l'été. If you love original experiences and good aesthetics, this is a very experimental and unique proposal.
Feb 28, 2013It's a game about picking dialogue options that are metaphorically represented as potential moves on the board, but it's that which goes unsaid that makes its semi-improvised conversations so intriguing.
Feb 18, 2013While Bientôt l'été may lack the potency of Tale of Tales' best work – the subversive, disturbing The Path is this writer's personal highlight - there's something to be said for a game that so boldly goes against the grain.
Mar 4, 2013Poetics and esthetics of the French New Wave melted into the melancholic virtual reality, in which you may, or may not experience exceptional encounters.
Mar 30, 2013For all its awkwardness and self-regard, we need more games like this, that try to broaden the medium and aspire to better it. Eventually, we'll get one that succeeds. [Apr 2013, p.109]
Feb 20, 2013In Journey I bonded more with my playing partner than any virtual café ever could facilitate. Bientôt l'été feels like a few steps backward trying to mask its emptiness with pretty pictures and French language. It screams for attention, eager to appear stranger than the rest, just foundering in the process.
Score distribution:
Positive: 2 out of 7
Mixed: 1 out of 7
Negative: 4 out of 7
Aug 9, 2013This is a non-traditional gaming experience that explores the line where videogames meet art. The game makes no qualms about this either, expressing that it is something to explore as opposed to something 'beat' or 'win'.
That would be the best way to describe it. This isn't playing a game, this is playing interactive art. Like all art, you either like it or you don't.
I, for one, liked it.… Expand
Jul 5, 2013A relaxing experience. It's about love, distance, memories. This kind of virtual communication between couples is quite thought provoking.
I give it a 7, because among all these kind of artsy "non-game" relaxing stuff, it's pretty good, and it looks very nice. Has little science-fiction elements which make you think.
Cons: The controls should be a bit more intuitive. Even with a gamepad it's not very convenient.… Expand
Apr 22, 2013This is a Tale of Tales game. They create interactive experiences, not games. Although I couldn't find anyone in the house, the AI suffices, and it is an interesting experience. I don't regret buying this title, I think of it as a donation to their next project. I highly recommend you check out their title "The Path". We need more small developers like this.… Expand
Feb 14, 2013The main problem is how buggy and clunky this game is. The multiplayer doesn't seem to work at all, whether private or public, and the developers don't seem to care. On the forums they give helpful advice such as "it worked when *we* tested it". I understand from the simulations what's trying to be accomplished here, but this sort of game is entirely about the experience, and there's simply nothing to do.… Collapse
Mar 20, 2013Far by the worst game ever. I only gave this game a 1 because it is in French and I love French, or else it would've been a 0. Multiplayer doesn't work and the game promised that you can play it in multiplayer. A high end graphics card is needed when the game doesn't look like it needs that much vram and etc. This whole "game" is a rip off, I exchanged my Sleeping Dogs hoping that this would be better, but nope. Do not EVER buy this game, it's a scam like WarZ! Yes I officially made a metacritic just so I can tell everyone how horrible it is.… Expand
Apr 20, 2013This game is an unfinished scam. My description of it? It is really just a hodgepodge of randomness with hollow artsy fartsiness. This serves as failed attempt to conceal the fact that there is no game, just you, a player who might desperately seek justification for the money they wasted by pressing his or her face too closely to the screen or by giving this game a score higher than 0 on metacritic.… Expand

These highlights of the International Studies Program in the second semester give only a hint of the various initiatives we have been undertaking to "internationalize" the campus and the curriculum:
• A new International Studies minor was approved by the faculty in the Spring, 2006 and will be available to students in the 2006-7 academic year.
• Arabic instruction continues in the 2006-7 academic year with 9 students continuing into Intermediate Arabic. Instructor Dr. Elias George will be assisted by Aziz Attari, a Fulbright teaching assistant from Casablanca, Morocco.
• International Women's Week: March 6-10
• International Weekend, March 31-April 1
• Lunch with the Ambassador. March 23. Retired Ambassador John Kordek and his wife Alice Kordek joined a group of International Studies students for lunch in the new lounge of the South Ben House for a conversation about his career with the US State Department and reflections on his last posting, as Ambassador to Botswana. He discussed his educational background, his language preparation and the course of his professional development, sharing a number of lively anecdotes.
• Informal afternoon tea and pastry with discussion: We continued in 2005-6 a tradition begun by Lisa Gasbarrone last year when she was chairing the International Studies program: informal tea and pastries and discussion of some international issue. This semester we drew on expertise of our colleagues in the natural sciences.
• Model UN course goes to Howard University. For the first time our Model UN class participated in the Model African Union conference hosted by Howard University in Washington, representing Djibouti and Mali. Each of the two teams began the three-day event by attending a briefing at the respective embassy of its country.
• Model UN club at Harvard. This year for the second time the F&M Model UN Club team attended the Harvard Model UN Conference, representing Azerbaijan.

The pilot was maneuvering the airplane south of the airport preparing to make a VFR approach. Witnesses observed the airplane in a right spin. NTAP data showed the airplane to be well above stall speed before disappearing from radar. Examination of the radar data revealed that in 6 seconds, ground speed dropped 31 knots, from 200 knots to 169 knots, and altitude dropped 440 feet, from 11,760 feet to 11,320 feet (4,400 feet per minute). In the next 6 seconds, ground speed dropped another 31 knots, from 169 knots to 138 knots, and altitude dropped 1,020 feet, from 11,320 feet to 10,300 feet (10,200 feet per minute). According to the manufacturer, if the throttles were to be brought back into Beta (flat pitch) range, it is possible that one propeller could go into Beta an instant before the other propeller. If this were to happen, the airplane would instantly snap roll and enter a spiral. The pilot had received an estimated 4 hours of dual instruction in the airplane.

Clarity and balance reign in the small, comfortable body shape of Taylor's Grand Concert. The smaller body and tapered waist make the 312CE the ultimate studio and stage guitar.

Crisp, black binding flanks the satin-finish, ribbon-like grain of the sapele back and sides and glossy Sitka spruce top, and continues up the fretboard on this short scale Concert guitar with a low-key traditional appearance. Easy to play and full of zest.

Today Sophie has opted for a tonal look going for 50 shades of grey, well nearly! Her IRO jacket from last year is knitted but the padded shoulders make it more of a trophy shape with some built in structure. Her new favourite skinny's are the twiggy from James jeans, super soft and comfy (ideal for a Monday) they showcase her Arson flame Western boots from Topshop perfectly, very rock'n'roll. Sophie has taken note from Grazia's beauty pages and has got into the Halloween spirit by adding a gothic lip. Topped off with her favourite Smythson Drs bag and a faux fur stole to beat the winter chill.

French auto magazine l'Argus strip away the 4 Series Gran Coupe prototype camouflage digitally to give us a preview of what the F36 4 series gran coupe may resemble once it is revealed. An M4 Gran Coupe may also be in the cards if the confirmed M6 Gran Coupe is any indication.
Some updated F82 M4 coupe renders from Jerry Alvarez. The white M4 coupe render now incorporates the M6/1M styled front bumper with air curtain vents recently spied on the F80 M3 sedan. Not reflected in the renders however, is an expected sleeker front fascia and headlights (compared to the F30 3 series). The F82 M4 coupe is also expected to feature a carbon fiber roof.
The F80 M3 / F82 M4 will not be constructed extensively from carbon fiber (CFRP) as some earlier reports had speculated. … CONTINUED
We have recently spied the F36 4 Series Gran Coupe (4GC) out testing again and although it wears the same camouflage as before, we get a first look at the F36 against the F30 3 series sedan and the F34 3 Series GT (gran touring).
What's clearly confirmed by the photos is the expected difference in roofline heights and shapes between the different models, which mirror the differences between the 6 series gran coupe, 5 series sedan and 5 series GT. The 4GC features the lowest and … CONTINUED
We've spied the production intent BMW i3 interior clearly for the first time. Although it's still in unfinished pre-production form, we can see some major components and design elements that will come on the production i3 when the first are delivered in late 2013.
The dash and console loses much of the futuristic styled full touch-sensitive and buttonless interior of the i3 concept in favor of a more practical and modern-day style BMW dashboard. It does however retain an LCD instrument screen from the concept. The large … CONTINUED
BMW maintains that the sometimes maligned 5-Series GT is a good seller despite the public perception, so much so that a scaled down 3-Series iteration has been under development for some time. Now it seems the development of this car is nearing the point of public release and so BMW has dropped the typical body cladding and now only covers the car up in a minimal amount of camouflage tape.
While the general shape of this car has been known to follow the 5-Series GT lines, what … CONTINUED
Resident digital artist Jerry Alvarez has put together this speculative side render of the F82 M4 coupe.
Although not visible in these renders, you can expect the F82 M4 coupe to receive the same (or very similar) hood lip/bulge that we recently spotted for the first time on the F80 M3 sedan.
Also not reflected in the renders is an expected sleeker front fascia and headlights (compared to the F30 3 series). The F82 M4 coupe is also expected to feature a carbon fiber roof.
The F80 M3 / … CONTINUED
A month ago, a new BMW prototype was spied for the first time. At the time, given its fastback shape and substantial similarities to the 3 Series GT (3GT) prototypes we've been spying for months, we deemed it to be a 3GT with some camouflage removed or altered. But, the prototype has been spotted again and the additional looks at the prototype have us convinced that it is indeed the F36 4 Series Gran Coupe (4GC) being tested.
Here's a brief analysis of the clear differences between … CONTINUED
A 2014 M3 test prototype resumed testing at the Nurburgring yesterday and the strip tease continued by way of a possible (or intended) camouflage malfunction. Here's what we see.
Air Curtains
By coincidence (?), the passenger side lower front bumper camouflage was flapped open during the test runs, revealing and confirming the air curtain vents on the F80. Whether the camouflage was peeled back to feed air to the air curtains for testing purposes, resulted from a camouflage malfunction, or was purposely peeled back to tease us, matters … CONTINUED
Many of you requested to see a white version of our latest F80 M3 renders, so by popular demand, we've added a couple of white versions to the batch.
If you've been tracking our homepage or our M3 forum section, you've surely seen the flurry of F80 M3 test mule sightings in the past two weeks or so.
Not only have the sightings become more frequent, but they've also been more revealing. With the latest rounds of spy photos, we now have a fairly good idea of what … CONTINUED
The 2014 F80 M3 prototype continues hot climate testing in Spain and we continue getting more live looks and listen at the next generation M3 sedan.
Our new video provides a good listen at the M3 prototype accelerating from a stop, though it's obviously not a full out acceleration run. For full throttle acceleration at speed, see the previously posted M3 and M4 prototype videos from Nurburgring testing, copied below. We also hear the car's startup for the first time. One thing's for sure – there will … CONTINUED
BMW continues testing of the 2014 F15 X5 and we've just spied a prototype exposing the standard model bumper. The previous model spied (pics below) featured large intakes, likely from the M Sport or X5 M, but this test mule gives us the first look at the standard F15 X5′s front apron design.
It's also the first time we see that the F15 X5 will feature integrated air curtain vents in its bumper design. Those who are not fans of the hood cutlines (separated from the kidney … CONTINUED
The Alpina F30 B3 has started development and we've got the first sighting of the prototype. The B3 test mule (based on the F30 335i) provides a good preview of the external styling to expect on the F30 B3, with its Alpina front lip spoiler, aggressive trunk spoiler, quad exhaust, and of course Alpina wheels. It appears that Alpina has now changed the front lip spoiler design from its original preview render. The production version is likely to feature a special exterior color as in past … CONTINUED

Robert Schuld
'We made the landing'
Robert Schuld's ship had already pulled off three gutsy invasions in the South Pacific as the Allies chased the Japanese: Angaur and Babelthuap in the Southern Palau Islands, and Leyte Gulf in the Philippines.
He was the navigator on a landing ship called the USS LST-600.
His ship would sail on toward Japan for a planned U.S. ground invasion, delivering supplies and troops to islands along the way.
In the dark hours of January 9, 1945, Schuld's crew was in Lingayen Gulk, gearing up to invade Lingayen.
Two hours before the first wave of U.S. troops were set to storm the beach of the Philippine Island, Schuld and the others could hear the Japanese talking in a boat nearby.
It was about 4 a.m., and you couldn't see anything, said Schuld, 85, because of the total blackout. Three hundred troops were quietly gearing up for their landing.
Schuld and the others could make out the shape of something floating.
"Then at 10 minutes after four, their motor turned on. A high-speed motor roared to life and within 15 seconds they pulled into us, took out 28 foot of our stern, which is the rear."
The ship was blown up. "We made the landing, we made the landing."
Schuld was hit with shrapnel in the right abdomen as he stood on the bridge, the lone man injured on the ship.
He lay unconscious for 10 or 15 minutes until he was found. It left him with an ugly scar.
The kicker is that he had changed ranks on purpose after his first two invasions. He'd been a signalman on a small landing craft called an LCVP, and volunteered to become a quartermaster.
He did so because he didn't like getting shot at from the beaches.

Celebrity Central / Top 25 Celebs
Winslet follows up her Oscar-winning role in The Reader with Mildred Pierce, a five-part miniseries for HBO. "Knowing that I had to be present for that amount of screen time, that in and of itself was a challenge," the actress says of her hefty role as the title character. The challenge pays off when Winslet wins an Emmy and Golden Globe for her performance.
While vacationing at Richard Branson's Caribbean home in August, Winslet meets the billionaire's nephew, "Ned Rocknroll," whom she is linked with almost immediately. "Ned was heartbroken and went to Necker to take his mind off things," a source tells a British newspaper. "But when Kate came out they really hit it off." In October, the couple is photographed holding hands at the opening of Branson's commercial spaceport in New Mexico.
After a yearlong romance, Winslet and Rocknroll tie the knot in an ultra-private ceremony in New York attended by close friends and family, with Leonardo DiCaprio reportedly giving away the bride. "The couple had been engaged since the summer," her rep confirms.
Baby, one more time! The actress and Rocknroll are expecting their first child together, PEOPLE confirms with her rep, who adds, "Kate and Ned are delighted." This will be the third child for Winslet, who is mom to Mia, 12, and Joe, 9, from her previous marriages.
Winslet welcomes her third child, son Bear, at an NHS hospital in Sussex County, U.K., her rep confirms to PEOPLE. "Mother and baby are doing great," the rep says. In September, while promoting new film Labor Day, the actress gushed, "Being a parent turns you inside out. It completely transforms your life and, of course, your children are your absolute everything."

I am continually building and criticizing and nurturing and destroying my habit for art. And with that came a camera. And then there was light, and shutter, and film, and lens, and pixels and love. Blurting into a world of still-frames. But really, I'm a high school student and I've recently come to find love for the photography world. I wish I could attach a camera to my eye itself but for now taking one with me everywhere will do. An amateur, but always learning or at least trying. Inspire me!

It's that time of year again. It will start with the tickle in the back of your throat that won't go away, your nose will start to run, your eyes will puff up and itch, and soon you will be in the throes of a full-blown allergy attack. Blearily, you make your way to the medicine cabinet and gulp down anti-histamine or two. According to Women's Health Magazine, there are "40 million Americans that suffer from seasonal allergies triggered by pollen and mold spores that bloom with warmer, wetter weather" each year. Here's some good news, though. Although allergies can't usually be cured, their symptoms can be lessened if you follow just a few good practices.
Omega-3 sources
To start with, try incorporating more omega-3-rich sources into your diet. The omega-3 fatty acid has anti-inflammatory characteristics that help lessen and even prevent allergy symptoms. Foods like flaxseed, walnuts, and fish deliver up a healthy dose of it.
Spice it up
You may have noticed the last time you went to a Mexican restaurant and bit into a chip loaded with spicy salsa that your nose started to run. Women's Health Magazine explains this is because spicy foods work to "decongest your sinuses, increase circulation, and clear away head-clogging mucus." Try adding a little cayenne or chili peppers to your next dish and make sure you have a box of tissues nearby.
Dust off
It may or may not surprise you to know that about 40% of indoor dust is tracked in from the outdoors. Keep those nasty allergens out by investing in a doormat which can knock off about 10-25% of the dust. An even better idea is to take off your shoes before coming inside. And those times you can't avoid exposing yourself to the dust? Be proactive. AllergyRelief101.com suggests, "Take [an anti-histamine] an hour or two ahead of time.
