Bruins Trade For Drew Stafford | Black and Gold Bruins Turn Yellow On Parade Day | Inconsistency Will Continue For Bruins Unless A Change Is Made | Five Bruins Prospects in 2017 World Junior Championship |
Just as winter finally rears its ugly head up in Boston, the Red Sox's Spring Training schedule kicks off down in Ft. Myers, Fla. And with preseason games comes Sports of Boston's weekly Spring Training Update! Need a recap on a certain game? Curious which minor leaguers and non-roster invitees are making names for themselves? Want to know how the Mayor's Cup race is going, or maybe just what the Mayor's Cup is? Look no further!
Just two days after losing one of their longest-tenured players to retirement, the Red Sox began their new preseason Saturday with a double-header against some upstart youngsters from Northeastern and BC. They began their quest to reclaim the possibly coveted Mayor's Cup Sunday against the Minnesota Twins.
The Red Sox's 25-0 victory over Northeastern would be more impressive if a) the Huskies were a pro team, and b) the game counted for anything. Still, 25 runs! The Red Sox homered five times in this game, including one from Adrian Gonzalez and two from newcomer Cody Ross. Ryan Sweeney, another newcomer, went 4-for-5, while Will Middlebrooks went 3-for-5, all doubles.
The Red Sox lead 9-0 after the second – more than enough for their pitching. Jon Lester started and got the win, pitching two innings while giving up a single – one of just three Huskies hits Saturday, all singles – and striking out two. Michael Bowden and Matt Albers pitched the final three innings, giving up just a single between them while striking out five with no walks.
The Red Sox took a 4-o lead in the second when a single by Ryan Lavarnway and back-to-back walks loaded the bases, then with one out Mike Aviles doubled to left to score two. Following an RBI ground out by non-roster player Juan Carlos Linares, Aviles scored on a passed ball. Both Aviles and Lavarnway finished with two hits.
Felix Doubront pitched two innings of one-hit baseball, but Junichi Tazawa made things interesting in the top of the third by giving up two runs. The Red Sox answered with single runs in bottom of third and fourth, including an RBI single from Linares in the fourth. The Eagles got one back in the fifth, but non-roster invitee Chorye Spoone pitched a perfect seventh for the save.
Tazawa is still working his way back from Tommy John surgery, so his struggles shouldn't concern Red Sox fans. Doubront, however, could definitely be in the major league bullpen at some point this season, possibly even on Opening Day. Hopefully this win is a sign of things to come for the lefthander.
David Ortiz also played first base Saturday against the Eagles, handling all seven chances without an error.
The Red Sox and Twins took a 2-2 tie into the bottom of the seventh Sunday afternoon, then the Red Sox broke it open. They went up 3-2 on a bases-loaded walk to outfielder Che-Hsuan Lin, then Lars Anderson followed with a grand slam to right field to make it 7-2. Anderson finished with two hits, as did Aviles. Oscar Tejeda added an RBI triple in the bottom of the eighth.
Josh Beckett started, giving up a single and two walks in two scoreless innings. Andrew Miller relieved Beckett, giving up just a walk while striking out three over the next two innings.
Non-roster invitee Tony Pena gave up a game-tying RBI single to outfielder Ben Revere in the top of the seventh, earning a blown save and then winning due to the Red Sox's five-run bottom of the inning. Scott Atchison – another non-roster pitcher – gave up a run on two hits, two walks and two strikeouts over the final inning.

Severn Trent Water is facing a £35.8m fine for deliberately providing false information to a regulator and offering a poor service to its customers.
Ofwat, the regulator for the water industry, is fining the utility company £34.7m, or 2.9 per cent of total turnover, for giving false customer-service information about its performance. It is likely that Severn Trent will also receive a fine from the criminal courts. The company, which says it will now be cutting bills by £2.40 per household per year for two years, will be penalised a further £1.1m for bad customer service.
"The size of the proposed fine reflects how seriously Ofwat takes the deliberate misreporting of information," said Regina Finn, the regulator's chief executive. "This sends a clear message: Ofwat will protect consumers, and companies must comply with their legal obligations or pay the price."
In response, Tony Wray, chief executive of Severn Trent, said: "We fully accept that the company is responsible for its failures. There is no doubt that the previous regime lacked sufficient controls and procedures. Those who were responsible for the customer relations mistakes are no longer with Severn Trent."

MINNEAPOLIS (GopherSports.com) – Despite outshooting Ohio State and producing more high-quality scoring chances, No. 1 Minnesota fell 3-1 on Friday night in the semifinals of the inaugural Big Ten Men's Ice Hockey Tournament at Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul, Minn.
The Gophers (25-6-6, 14-4-3-0) controlled the first 15 minutes after the opening faceoff and generated several good looks at the net. Those included Tom Serratore intercepting a pass at the Ohio State (18-13-5, 8-9-5-4) blue line and firing a wrister from the top of the slot, Taylor Cammarata charging down the left side and trying to stuff a shot through goaltender Christian Frey's pads and Kyle Rau, while camped out in the slot, redirecting a Travis Boyd shot from the point. None of those chances produced a goal for the Gophers, however, and momentum shifted in favor of the Buckeyes following a Gopher penalty at 15:05. Ohio State quickly capitalized on the man advantage when Tanner Fritz fired a pass from the left faceoff dot through the crease. As Adam Wilcox moved across the net, Nick Schilkey redirected the puck into the back of the net, scoring at 15:20 to give the Buckeyes a 1-0 lead.
The first period ended with an odd sequence. Anthony Greco closed in on Wilcox from the right side before shooting wide. The puck caromed off the back boards and somehow found the back of Wilcox's leg. The puck rolled up his leg and then slid along the goal line almost the entire width of the goal. Max McCormick popped the puck into the open net but replay confirmed the clock had expired just moments earlier, ending the first period with Ohio State leading by one.
After killing off 51 seconds of a holdover penalty from the first, Minnesota created its own opportunity up a man. Following an elbowing call on Chad Niddery at 1:20, Hudson Fasching tried to tuck the puck past Frey on the near post off a nice feed from Rau, but Frey was up to the task and made the save. The Gophers had a second chance on the power play shortly after as Drew Brevig was sent off for slashing at 3:55. Midway through that advantage, Travis Boyd found Cammarata coming down the left-side boards near the faceoff dot. Cammarata kept the puck moving with a crisp pass to Rau, who was waiting on the back post and tapped the tying goal past Frey.
The Gopher penalty-killers came up big to keep the game tied through the mid-point of the second by killing off two consecutive minor penalties that essentially created a four-minute power play for the Buckeyes. Those kills appeared to energize the Gophers, who produced several strong chances, including two for Boyd, an in-close shot from Cammarata and a clean break for Justin Kloos inside the Ohio State zone, which ended with Frey fighting off the shot from his right, a save that kept the game tied going into the third.
As it had in the previous two periods, Minnesota dominated play out of the locker room but was unable to score the go-ahead goal. A too many men on the ice penalty five minutes into the period slowed the Gopher attack and, shortly after that penalty expired, Tyler Lundey won a battle in the corner in Minnesota's end and passed to Ryan Dzingel at the top of the slot. Dzingel launched a shot that appeared to be going wide to Wilcox's left but deflected off a defender's stick and popped inside the post to put Ohio State ahead 2-1.
Now down one, the Gophers seized control of the game yet again. Minnesota kept the puck in the Ohio State zone for several minutes, producing a collection of quality shots, most notably Sam Warning ripping a wrist shot across the goal from Frey's left that rang off the far post.
Shortly after that onslaught, with seven minutes remaining, a scrum in front of the Ohio State net ended with the puck disappearing among bodies in the crease and re-emerging in the back of the net, though it sounded like the referee's whistle blew prior to the puck appearing behind Frey. Called no-goal on the ice, the play went under review. Replay confirmed that Seth Ambroz did put the puck in the net, but with his glove, so the no-goal call stood.
Ohio State sealed the game in the final minute, just seconds after Wilcox vacated the net for an extra Minnesota skater. Greco scored on the open net from center ice at 19:33 to seal the victory for the Buckeyes.
The Gophers return to action next week as the hosts of the NCAA West Regional at Xcel Energy Center. The Gophers will find out who else will be coming to St. Paul this Sunday at 11 a.m. CT when the NCAA selection show airs on ESPNU.

Taz November 27, 2012 5:38 PM @Reality Check McLaren had the fastest car overall I would say and a stronger engine than RBR. When Newey figured out how to switch on the tyres better after the big loss of the EBD the teams performance picked up. As I said in an earlier thread, any advantage was marginal this year and they (and Ferrari) were better at strategy calls than McLaren on the whole. They didn't have a big advantage as your remark seems to suggest. Reply Report abuse 20 agree 1 disagree

Vital Statistics at Time of Disappearance
Missing Since: February 15, 2004 from Casper, Wyoming Classification: Endangered Missing Date Of Birth: August 20, 1990 Age: 13 years old Height and Weight: 5'0, 110 pounds Distinguishing Characteristics: Caucasian male. Blond hair, green eyes. Justin wears eyeglasses. Clothing/Jewelry Description: Possibly a gray jacket and black snowboots. Medical Conditions: Justin was taking psychiatric medications at the time of his disappearance, including anti-depressants; he may not have the medicine with him. He is mentally disabled and functions at the level of a six- to seven-year-old.
Details of Disappearance
Justin was last seen at the R.L. Mills Home, the group home for boys where he resided in the 100 block of east H Street in Casper, Wyoming. At 7:00 a.m. on February 15, 2004, workers at the home found his room empty after he failed to show up for breakfast. His bed was found stuffed with clothes to give the appearance that he was sleeping in it.Justin's mother had willingly turned him and his younger sister over to the custody of the state. He been through several failed foster care placements before he was placed in the R.L. Mills Home in the summer of 2003. His father, Phillip Harris, a truck driver who had fought for custody of him, initially said he believed his son ran away to be with him. Phillip theorized that Justin is either still in the Casper area, or tried to go to Swink, Oklahoma, where his father lives. He had repeatedly run away from his various foster homes in the past. Later, Phillip said he thought Justin hadn't run away from the group home but had, in fact, become the victim of a crime, and that the group home was trying to cover this up. Phillip denied that Justin suffered from any kind of disability, but these assertions were contradicted by the staff at the R.L. Mills Home, who said he required constant supervision and could not function without his psychiatric medications. They stated he'd been doing well at the facility, however, and was also succeeding at school.
Justin's case remains unsolved. The R.L. Mills Home, which served adolescent boys with a variety of emotional and behavioral problems, was closed in 2011 due to financial constraints.

The In-Person Portfolio Review
15 comments:
Thank you thank you for clarifying the vertical vs. horizontal thing. I've been told by multiple people that art directors dislike having to rotate a portfolio to look at horizontal art. But they must also dislike squinting at horizontal pieces squished onto a vertical page. It never made sense to me why rotating the portfolio is such a big deal.
ReplyDeleteHow about cornering an AD for a non-professional review? I'm aspiring, but I'm not quite there, I know mileage may vary, but do you have any thoughts for art students and self-taught wilders who have it in mind to see where they need growth by getting their portfolio's reviewed?
That seemed like terrible english but i'll let it live.Hey Lauren,
All excellent advice across the board. From the presentation through the leave behind — making an impression in a short period of time is difficult when your on the spot. I feel, after reviewing many portfolios — following up as you mentioned is equally important to keep you in mind for future possibilities.Let me slap on my Art Director hat (it has horns) and add something. There are two types of portfolio reviews: those to pursue work and those to get critiques and tips to improve. Two very different goals that—unfortunately, I think—have gotten mushed together more and more frequently lately. My opinion—and it's only mine and Lauren may disagree—is that you don't go to art directors for critiques of your portfolio. Period. In those circumstances, whether meeting in their office or at a convention, you're intent is to show them your best work and impress them so much they'll want to work with you; to convince them you're a pro (even if you're early in your career) who can deliver if they hire you. If you're seeking tips and critiques and ways to improve your art, seek out artists you respect and/or educators. You do not get a chance to make a first impression twice with the people you want to work for so whatever you show an art director you want them to remember in a good way. Again, IMO. :-)
ReplyDeleteRepliesAnd...I meant to type "your intent". Another reason I'm not in the proofreading dept. :-)
Deleteoh i absolutely agree that there's two types of reviews...but i think they mush together sometimes because it's more, people come to you with "hey look at my book can I work for you?" and if the answer is, not yet, then they want to know why, and what their next step would be to getting there. so then you kind of get into the critique part. I definitely don't go there for everyone, and rarely in the quickie con reviews, but you can tell when someone is really looking for an honest crit

my goal this week is to make one little illustration a day. here is today's. It is very very colorful. it also happens to be my very first Illustration Friday! The subject was time, and I decided to be silly and do an illustration about how time is crazy and abstract and maybe not real.
p.s. just got the last issue of domino ever and cried into its beautiful pages. WHY MUST IT ALL BE SO EXPENSIVE?!

WASHINGTON – The civic arm of Democratic Party megafunder MoveOn removed from its website Friday a petition supporting Islamic terrorist group Boko Haram after Congressman Steve Stockman (R-TX 36) brought public attention to it.
"After accusing General David Petraeus of betraying the United States, Democrat party megafunder MoveOn continues to be a hub of hate and terrorist support," said Stockman. "Along with pumping millions of dollars into Democrat campaign accounts MoveOn also hosts numerous petitions supporting Palestinian terrorists and anti-American tirades. What is their money buying?"
"MoveOn spent $21.6 million on programs in 2012, with 100 percent of its PAC contributions going to Democrats. No wonder Hillary Clinton waited until after the election to finally designate Boko Haram a terrorist group," said Stockman. "The Democrat left hasn't met an armed anti-American group they don't like."
Democrats continued to sign the petition urging the State Department not to list Boko Haram as a terrorist organization, even after the group abducted over 200 Nigerian girls and threatened to sell them into sexual slavery.
"The petition – which received its first signature on June 20, 2012, and continued to be signed by Friday evening – was uncovered by Stockman, who asked MoveOn to apologize for hosting an online petition opposing a terrorist designation for Boko Haram, whose name translates as 'western education is a sin,'" World Net Daily's Garth Kant reported Saturday.
"In fact, the petition reflected the same apparent stance Hilary Clinton had taken until a few days ago, when she, too, suddenly joined the chorus condemning the terrorists," Kant reported. "Before that, the former secretary of state had steadfastly refused to designate Boko Haram as a terrorist group, even after it bombed United Nations headquarters in Abuja, Nigeria, in 2011."
In 2007, the group purchased a full page ad in the New York Times referring to U.S. General David Petraeus as "General Betray Us" and accusing him of fabricating information. Both the U.S. House and Senate formally denounced the group. The group also featured a campaign ad combining images of George W. Bush and Adolf Hitler.

Double diode triode
A double diode triode is a type of electronic vacuum tube once widely used in radio receivers. The tube has a triode for amplification, along with two diodes, one typically for use as a detector and the other as a rectifier for Automatic gain control, in one envelope. In practice the two diodes usually share a common cathode. Multiple tube sections in one envelope minimized the number of tubes required in a radio or other apparatus.
In European nomenclature a first letter "E" identifies tubes with heaters to be connected in parallel to a transformer winding of 6.3V; "U" identifies tubes with heaters to be connected in series across the mains supply, drawing 100 mA; and "P" identifies similar 300 mA series-connected tubes. Following the voltage letter, "A" stands for a low-current (signal) diode section, "B" for a double diode with common cathode section, "C" for a triode section, "F" for a pentode section, "H" for a hexode or heptode section, and "L" for a power tetrode or pentode section. The first number identified the base type, for example 3 for Octal base; 9 for B7G sub-miniature 7 pin. The remaining numbers identified a particular tube type; tubes with all characters except the first identical had identical electrodes but a different heater; e.g. the EBC81 and UBC81. Generally, odd numbers identified tubes / valves with variable mu characteristics and even numbers straight, or sharp cut-off types.
American nomenclature, also used in Europe, used a number to identify the heater voltage, letters to identify the type, with no systematic coding system and a number specifying the total number of electrodes. The 6.3V EABC80 has 8 electrodes; the US equivalent is 6AK8, where the "AK" has no particular meaning (but the 6N8 is a dual diode+pentode, also with 8 electrodes, EBF80).
There are many double diode triode tubes, including EBC81 (6BD7), EBC91 (6AV6), the older EBC41 (identical to EBC81 but Rimlock (B8A) socket instead of noval), EBC33, EBC21, EBC11, EBC2, ABC 1(4 V heater). The commoner tube line-ups of an AM radio with main transformer set having a double diode-triode were one of the following: ECH11+EF11+EBC11+EL11 Y8A Base, ECH42(or 41)+EF42 (or 41)+ EBC41+ EL41 (or 42) Rimlock Base, ECH81+EF80(85 or 89)+ EBC81(or 91)+ EL84 (noval Socket) + rectifier and magic eye indicator (depending on the radio class and manufacturer). AC/DC sets without mains transformer would use "U" tubes of the same types, e.g. UCH42+UF41+UBC41+UL41+UY41 rectifier.
There was also a tube with a single diode section, a double diode with common cathode and a triple diode triode, named EABC80 or 6AK8 and its versions for 300 mA and 100 mA named PABC80 (9AK8; for TV Sets) and UABC80 (27AK8) for transformerless radios with series heater chains. This tube was designed for early AM/FM (MW/VHF) radio sets and was widely used in many radios, almost until the end of the tube radio era. One diode is for automatic gain control (AGC), another for FM/VHF detection and the third for AM detection.
The main configurations for an early tube AM/FM/VHF set using EABC80 in the 1950s and '60s:
EC92+EF85(80 or 89)+ECH81+EF85(80 or 89)+EABC80+EL84(or EL95), ECC85+EF80(85 or89)+ECH81+EABC80+EL84(or EL95)+ rectifier (tube or solid state) and indicator, depending on the radio class and manufacturer. For AC/DC radios, UCC85+UCH81+UF80(85 or 89)+UABC80+UL84)+ rectifier and indicator. These configurations were kept until semiconductor (germanium) diodes became available, making this type of tube obsolete.

text: BEN MCKENZIE This hot actor was born on September 12, 1978, in Austin, Texas. Growing up Benjamin played football for his high school team. After attending the University of Virginia, he moved to Los Angeles to pursue an acting career. He landed small guest star roles on a variety of television shows but did not make it big until a few years later. In 2003, Benjamin landed the role of bad boy Ryan Atwood on the hit show, "The O.C." Playing the love interest of Mischa Barton's "Marissa," Benjamin captured the hearts of female audiences everywhere. After a 5-year run, "The O.C." sadly ended and viewers were left without their weekly fix of hottie Benjamin Mckenzie. However, Benjamin hit the small screen again in 2009 playing a police officer in NBC/TNT's "Southland." FUN FACTS: Ben changed his name for screen-credit purposes because there's an actor named Ben Schenkman registered with the Screen Actors Guild. One of the first things Ben bought with his earnings from acting was a pair of $800 black leather boots. Went to the same high school as George W. Bush's twin daughters (they were freshmen when he was a senior). |

Former Alaska Governor Tony Knowles has endorsed a measure which would add sexual orientation and gender identity to the Anchorage Equal Rights Initiative.
The Democratic Knowles served as the seventh governor of Alaska from December 1994 to December 2002.
During a press conference held Thursday, Knowles, 69, criticized opponents of the measure for running "dehumanizing" ads.
"As many people predicted, here in the last days of the campaign ads on the Internet and Facebook against Proposition 5 have taken an ugly turn. They depict unacceptably offensive and intentionally stigmatizing distorted cartoons of gay and transgender individuals. Such dehumanizing stereotypes do not represent the values that we share as a community," Knowles told reporters.
In one 30-second ad from Protect Your Rights – Vote No On Prop 5 titled Daycare, an animated day care owner is forced to hire a "transvestite" as horrified parents look on. The cartoon "transvestite" is drawn to look like an unshaven, hairy chested man in a short pink dress.
"If she hires him, she risks losing customers," a female narrator is heard saying. "And if she refuses, she can be fined or imprisoned."
Knowles' three Republican successors – Frank Murkowski, Sarah Palin and Sean Parnell – have not spoken on the measure.
The Anchorage Assembly approved a similar ordinance in 2009, but it was vetoed by Mayor Dan Sullivan. Voters will decide the issue on Tuesday.

Legorreta was sentenced to 40 years for each victim, an official at the state Attorney General's Office told EFE.
The source said that, in response to a lawsuit filed by the victims' families, Legorreta was also fined 254,758 pesos ($20,012) and must pay an additional 567,090 pesos ($44,547) in compensation.
Legorreta, 29, was recaptured March 3 following his escape in late February, just hours after a previous arrest. He apparently succeeded in shedding his handcuffs and slipping out of the police station where he was in the custody of three police officers.
He committed his crimes by winning the trust of his victims while working as a city bus driver.
All were young women whom he raped and then killed out of fear they would report him, he confessed after being recaptured.
Only one of the victims survived the rape, but only because the criminal went away thinking she was dead.
Legorreta still has trials pending for a homicide in Mexico City and for the rape of the young woman who survived.

"When I started out, I was an eccentric artist with no connections, no business savvy, and like most artists in my industry, I didn't have much affinity for the business side of fashion-just a burning desire to create an effect with my work. Then I was introduced to Hubbard Management Technology and using Hubbard PR and Marketing principles my company grew 500 percent in six years. It is now being a multimillion-dollar company."
— Craig Taylor
The Prosperity Corps
Consisting of veteran consultants from the Professional Consultants Association or successful business owners who are at the point where they are more concerned with helping others than themselves, Prosperity Corps members undertake volunteer projects to deliver the Administrative Technology in communities and, particularly, in what are called "pioneer" areas. Requiring the activities of adventurous "pioneers," these are areas and countries that have usually never even heard of the technology yet are in dire need of it. The Corps is a worldwide organization, funded by its members.
For example, in 1999, due to disastrous floods in Venezuela which resulted in failing businesses and a sinking economy, the Hubbard College of Administration International was asked to help businesses there recover. They called on the Prosperity Corps, and a volunteer team was shot out to the area to introduce Mr. Hubbard's Administrative Technology to them. The team spent several weeks meeting government officials and business executives. The result? Failing businesses were turned around. And, because of demand, two consulting companies were set up in the country and a Hubbard College began initial stages of establishment. Furthermore, the demand spread and consulting offices opened in Colombia and Ecuador.
Then again, after the September 11, 2001 disaster in New York City, the Hubbard College shot a Prosperity Corp team out to help businesses there recover. Running a "New York Back to Business" campaign involving seminars and workshops for local businesses affected by the tragedy, the team helped them get back on their feet with marketing and basic management issues. Concurrently, a new Hubbard College opened in New York City so that local businesses would always be able to avail themselves of the technology.
Other volunteers have taken the technology to the businesses and governments of nations such as Russia, China, India, Hungary, Taiwan, Mexico and many more. Prosperity Club members know there is no shortage of people in dire need of help in the business world and other areas that require organizational skills. They have taken on the responsibility of doing something about it and meeting that demand.
For further information, please contact the Vice-President for New Students and Alumni Activities at the Hubbard College of Administration International. You can telephone him at 323-660-8685 or 888-812-4224 or contact us by e-mail.

Sathyanarayana, DN and Gameshsrinivas, E (2003) Simulation of the infrared spectra of N-methylformamide and N-methylacetamide by the extended molecular mechanics method. In: Indian Journal of Chemistry - Section A: Inorganic, Physical, Theoretical and Analytical Chemistry, 42 (7). pp. 1564-1574.
Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
The infrared spectra of the matrix isolated species of N-methylformamide (NMF) and N-methylacetamide (NMA) and their N-deuterated molecules have been simulated by the extended molecular mechanics method using an empirical force field which includes charges and charge fluxes as coulombic potential parameters. The structural parameters and dipole. moments of NMF and NMA have. also been computed in satisfactory agreement with the experiment. Good agreement between experimental and calculated vibrational frequencies and infrared absorption band intensities for NMF and NMA and their deuterated molecules has been obtained. The vibrational assignments of NMF and NMA are-discussed taking also into account the infrared absorption intensities.

Well me and my buddy want to go, be fun to go with a nice group. I have a jeep 4cyc with a 5 speed, hopefully have my 2.5 lift on and 31 A/Ts. I am new at this and was wondering if this would work. I need to get a full sized spare and I have a bottle jack. Wondering if people were going to be wheeling on trails that I can do with my stuff, and do it nicely. Would be great to wheel with you guys! Thanks

You could just ride around with us. We all have straps. :) It is not like a single file line though the deep stuff. Anything worth getting stuck in has a path to go around it too. Just wear clothes you don't mind getting muddy and keep your top on. Even with the top on you'll be picking mud out of the strangest places.
Also remember to have an ORV sticker. |
July 31st, 2006, 06:34 PM | #16 |
It's a really good idea to have your own tow strap.We all leave one attached to the rear of our jeeps. It also helps if you have recovery points. Other than that, there is plenty of room to roam where you won't get stuck either. But....getting stuck is half the fun.
July 31st, 2006, 09:43 PM | #18 |
I have a recovery strap, not a tow strap, and I have a D ring to put in my hitch hole in my rear bumper, Im all set to go just hadnt found people to help me when Iget stuck =p Pushin it out is no fun at all So hopefully, good install of a suspension on friday pending; I should be out there. I have a black yj with a charcole top, more then likely will be down when I pull in though =p. Also has a four foot CB antenna on the back by the spare Planning on picking up my ORV tommorrow or wensday, grr I hate the DMV Aaa well the wait is sure to be worth the fun comings. Bout what time we planning on getting there?
July 31st, 2006, 09:57 PM | #20 |
Got 360?
Got my ORV sticker at the Fishing Tackle Grab Bag on the corner of M-15 and Coldwater Rd (in Davison). Its about 5 miles from the mounds. If your shooting straight up M-15 through Davison its just north of town. then you can follow M-15 to Mount Morris Road. No lines, and your in and out in 2 minutes!

When looking for a dish that consistently scores the highest
in my three main standards (flavor, fulfillment, frugality), it's hard to beat
a good pizza. The problem is finding a pizza
that scores high in all three categories.
Ms. Classy and I have skipped around to at least half a dozen modestly
priced pizzerias around the DC metro area and haven't been particularly
impressed. Not to say they were bad, but
unremarkable. One day, we just couldn't
fight it. We were craving our favorite flat
pie. Instead of rehashing through places
we've been, Ms. Classy put her impeccable research skills to work and
discovered Vace Italian Delicatessen in Bethesda.
We ordered a large pizza at the base price of $9.50 (sauce
and cheese only). There's a slightest
little hiccup of a caveat: all toppings are an additional cost, but you'd have
to really pile them on before your bill will be anywhere near 'expensive.' We ordered our favorites: pepperoni
and mushroom on half, pepperoni sausage on the other, for a total of $12.00 plus tax.
Like I said before, I'm hard pressed to think of anything that can
compete with a GOOD pizza in terms of
my three standards. Also take note of
the business name: this place is a deli, not a restaurant. The atmosphere is more of a small
grocery/convenience store than a pizzeria (no seating area).
Was it good? Yes,
very much so. The crispy texture of the
crust was satisfying bite after crunchy bite.
Normally, I prefer my pizza to be heavy on the cheese and light on the
sauce, but Vace's pizza is the opposite.
I was skeptical when seeing the sauciness, but the aroma was enticing
and I was so hungry that I would have gnawed through a brick wall to get at it. Ms. Classy and I have eaten there twice in as
many days. This will quell our pizza
cravings for the time being and we're delighted to have a go to pizza place on speed
dial that isn't just the better side of mediocre.

Paris: Indian civil aviation minister Praful Patel has reiterated that he expects huge growth in the country's air cargo sector over the next decade after years of almost no expansion.
Patel said in an address to airlines at IATA's annual general meeting in Paris today that he expects "in the next five to 10 years you could see 150 cargo planes at least coming into India".
There are currently only seven freighter aircraft in India with the country's only dedicated cargo carrier, Blue Dart Aviation, which operates domestic express freight services on behalf of DHL-owned Blue Dart Express.
However the Government has been trying to convince passenger carriers to add freighter aircraft and several have said they plan to do so, such as state-owned Air India and Indian Airlines, and privately owned Go Air, Jet Airways, Kingfisher Airlines and others.

Temples of Thailand - a photographic journey Bangkok Area Provinces: Central North North-East West South East |
Wat Sri Bun Yuen Another beautiful village temple located along the small country roads south of Chiang Kham is Wat Sri Bun Yuen. When we visited the temple held a funeral and we didn't want to intrude, so we did not enter the inside of the Ubosot but rather admired the outside. |

Solutions Overview
This script is Copyright (C) 2012-2014 Tenable Network Security, Inc.
Synopsis : The remote Scientific Linux host is missing one or more security updates. Description : The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux operating system. This update fixes the following security issues : - IPv6 fragment identification value generation could allow a remote attacker to disrupt a target system's networking, preventing legitimate users from accessing its services. (CVE-2011-2699, Important) - A signedness issue was found in the Linux kernel's CIFS (Common Internet File System) implementation. A malicious CIFS server could send a specially crafted response to a directory read request that would result in a denial of service or privilege escalation on a system that has a CIFS share mounted. (CVE-2011-3191, Important) - A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel handled fragmented IPv6 UDP datagrams over the bridge with UDP Fragmentation Offload (UFO) functionality on. A remote attacker could use this flaw to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2011-4326, Important) - The way IPv4 and IPv6 protocol sequence numbers and fragment IDs were generated could allow a man-in-the-middle attacker to inject packets and possibly hijack connections. Protocol sequence numbers and fragment IDs are now more random. (CVE-2011-3188, Moderate) - A buffer overflow flaw was found in the Linux kernel's FUSE (Filesystem in Userspace) implementation. A local user in the fuse group who has access to mount a FUSE file system could use this flaw to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2011-3353, Moderate) - A flaw was found in the b43 driver in the Linux kernel. If a system had an active wireless interface that uses the b43 driver, an attacker able to send a specially crafted frame to that interface could cause a denial of service. (CVE-2011-3359, Moderate) - A flaw was found in the way CIFS shares with DFS referrals at their root were handled. An attacker on the local network who is able to deploy a malicious CIFS server could create a CIFS network share that, when mounted, would cause the client system to crash. (CVE-2011-3363, Moderate) - A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel handled VLAN 0 frames with the priority tag set. When using certain network drivers, an attacker on the local network could use this flaw to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2011-3593, Moderate) - A flaw in the way memory containing security-related data was handled in tpm_read() could allow a local, unprivileged user to read the results of a previously run TPM command. (CVE-2011-1162, Low) - A heap overflow flaw was found in the Linux kernel's EFI GUID Partition Table (GPT) implementation. A local attacker could use this flaw to cause a denial of service by mounting a disk that contains specially crafted partition tables. (CVE-2011-1577, Low) - The I/O statistics from the taskstats subsystem could be read without any restrictions. A local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to gather confidential information, such as the length of a password used in a process. (CVE-2011-2494, Low) - It was found that the perf tool, a part of the Linux kernel's Performance Events implementation, could load its configuration file from the current working directory. If a local user with access to the perf tool were tricked into running perf in a directory that contains a specially crafted configuration file, it could cause perf to overwrite arbitrary files and directories accessible to that user. (CVE-2011-2905, Low) This update also fixes various bugs. See also : http://www.nessus.org/u?905f0b62 Solution : Update the affected packages.

We all have spirit guides. Some of us have met them and some of us haven't. As this is Timberwolf HQ, this article is on the wolf as a spirit guide. The basic information was given to me by a long-time reader and friend of Timberwolf HQ. I wrote the article from his research. So sit back, relax and enjoy the information you are about to read.
We have all wondered what the qualities are of our spirit guides. There are many sites on the Internet which will give various information and interpretations. My reader has provided the following information about Brother wolf.
WOLF: Teacher, Pathfinder, Moon – hound within my soul.
Wolves teach us many things including howling, singing and how to know and understand ourselves and others.
What is the wolf spirit?
It is believed that our brother, the wolf, is a path finder, a bringer of new ideas returning to the people to deliver teachings and to allow us to learn and participate in knowing our heritage and spiritual path, sharing good medicine. The wolf teaches us how to live with one mate throughout life. This is an important lesson as humans are herd animals with an alpha leader and a harem mentality. If we follow brother wolf we can learn loyalty. The wolf pack provides an enormous sense of belonging and family, even within the pack, while retaining its individuality.
If you feel that you have an affinity for the wolf spirit, then you may be a person with a gift to teach. You may pass on your own spirit medicine with those willing to hear your message and learn. When you tune in to your intuitive nature on the wolf path you will divine a number of things, including an answer you may be seeking or a lesson you must learn at this time. When you discover your inner wolf spirit your drive to impart knowledge will increase and you may find yourself writing or lecturing about topics and providing information that will help others understand their own unique life path. In your spiritual development you must look for teachings from your wolf spirit guide. He is your brother and would not come to you without you making a request to the path-finder for his appearance in your life.
Who is the wolf spirit?
The wolf in nature has very keen senses and has a very powerful ally in the moon. The moon itself is a symbol for the psychic ability latent in all people. It has been used by secret societies for untold years to convey a message of secret knowledge and wisdom, the wolf spirit is partnered by this power when he comes to you. By howling at the Moon the wolf spirit asks you to seek that connection with new ideas which lie just below the surface of your waking mind, to look into your unconscious mind to release powerful energies. By doing this and by discovering your own wolf spirit within, you are encouraged to become a teacher, a tutor of all people to aid them in understanding the mysteries that life brings us.
Another link to the heavens and life mysteries comes from the Dogon tribe in Africa who link great powers and secrets to the Dog Star, Sirius. The ancient Egyptians also made this connection and believed Sirius to be the home of the gods. Star lore connects the wolf with the Dog Star and it is believed by some that mankind's teachers were from this star. Other indigenous people, including Native Americans, later adopted this motif and identified the wolf as the teacher of the clans.
What can the wolf spirit provide?
The wolf spirit comes to teach and to endow the gift of wisdom on those who will take the time to listen to his teachings. It is said that when you have travelled every path and located those that lead nowhere, you will truly know your territory. In discovering this, a simple truth is revealed, that nothing stays the same, all things change as nature intended.
The spirit wolf may tell you to seek places to be alone. In these places, in the absence of other people, brother wolf may reveal himself and allow you to see your inner spirit guide and teacher. This in turn delivers a vision of the true being you are and will become.
If wolf spirit is not facing you when he approaches, you are being asked to look beyond your the confines of your present situation to see the wider world beyond. This may take courage, as new ideas could be foreign to you and you may need to divest yourself of older, confining viewpoints. Once the wolf spirit has imparted his teachings, then it is up to you to share these with the rest of humanity and seek to raise human consciousness to new heights. Do not let wolf spirit's teaching stagnate and do not fear passing on your changed vision to others as this will result in you becoming bogged down and will stifle the changes he has brought to your life.
Your wolf spirit will always urge you to seek teachers or path finders that will show provide you with ways to achieve new life experiences. Always remember, the teachers and way-finders could be the tiny voice which comes to you from within or you could find a lesson in the form of a stone, a book, a cloud, a tree, another person or the Great Spirit that binds us all as one.
A final thought
Growth comes through acceptance of all forms of life and the acknowledgement of the lessons they can teach. Become the wolf spirit and follow the sense of discovery you feel. You may find that you stop crying at the moon in despair and become the embodiment of psychic energies symbolised by the moon. When you do…remember to pass this teaching on by becoming someone else's wolf spirit guide.

I believe that I've discovered the holy grail of laundry. Well, according to my kids anyway. In no particular order, these are the rules:
1) If clothing touches your body for more than 4.2 seconds, it is contaminated and must be thrown down the clothes chute.
2) It is acceptable to walk to the clothes chute but leave said laundry just outside of chute door.
3) If laundry does get into the chute, be sure that the layers of clothing worn remain intertwined with one another.
4) If there is a lot of clothing, jam it all into the chute at one time so that the laundry remains in the upper portion of the chute so as to necessitate a heavy shoe or long pole to remove it.
5) If all else fails, leave laundry on bedroom floor until it becomes a permanent part of the decor.
I bet you think that I am kidding. I am not.
Laundry and I will always be arch enemies. If I am being honest, I guess I have a lot of enemies then...clutter, windows, dust, etc. Perhaps I need to channel my inner Mrs. Incredible. That will be the plan for tackling laundry...tomorrow.
I had the opportunity to do some creating today so I have several projects to share with you. I will start with my layout for the Basic Grey sketch of the week.
I stayed pretty true to the sketch and just changed out the size of the photos a bit. I typically group pictures together on my layout more so this sketch was a little bit different from my typical layouts. I really liked it though. I may have to use it again. I also had the chance to use my Life of the Party collection that I've been hanging onto. The bottom photo is just a bit of silhouette of my mom and my sweet little niece and I fell in love with it. One year old baby girls are so much fun. Speaking of which...that brings me to my next layout. Another one year old baby girl! (It is so fun having twin nieces!)Clearly, I wandered pretty far from the sketch with this one! I loved Kristy's sketch for the Scrapbook Steals Mid-Week Mojo but for some reason, I just couldn't get it to work exactly as I wanted so I strayed a bit. I ended up using Echo Park's Little Girl collection and Basic Grey's little monkey from the Oliver collection. I made little tags at the top instead of big ones and added a few more elements. The top left is Martha Stewart washi tape that I got on clearance. Once I got it working for me, it came together quickly. She is such a cute little monkey!
Lastly, I actually participated in the Monday Card Madness at Scrapbook Steals this week as well. (I told you I got some crafting done today!) My sweet and wonderful friend Jana just had a baby girl so I wanted to send her a card to celebrate her little one. Authentique paper is divine. That is all I have to say about that. I used their Blissful collection to made the perfect card to welcome the little cutie.
Thank you so much for stopping by my blog today. I am close to 60 followers! I remember when I was excited about getting to five! I appreciate you taking the time to check in with my little corner of the world. Have a great day and check back soon for some info on my birthday month!
Scrap Happy~Melissa

she is for all the right things, but she is also for going about getting them in the wrong way, in the unchristian way. I really do believe that there is a christlike way of doing things. It must be based on sharing and on democratic principles. that is who christ was and still is to his followers…'the way'. Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai–is half of the 'christ' story, and he wrote down every page of torah and it's spiritual memory, it's core in volumes of "the zohar". he tells us about female energy and about the age of aquarius, which is right now. he tells us of female waters and how the shekkinah will return to us and transform us as she is doing now.
hashem is my peace. my love of torah comes from my genetic memory of the house of david. solomon and sheba david and bathseva, this energy of africa and of egypt taken to jerusalem to replicate cleopatra's (ISIS') temple.

Before I start yapping about the song, I'd like to thank Buoy for being a massive help and giving me loads of tips or pointers while this track was still under development - also this song is inspired from some of his music too. Thanks to Echo and a few school friends of mine for providing some criticism too!
Now, to start with, I'm proud of this submission. I haven't made music in a long while, but somehow, despite the insane amount of college work I'm getting combined with hosting the NGADM competition, I managed to find the time to make this. I thought of the melody many many months ago on the piano, and somehow it stuck in my head. I reasoned that if a melody was locked inside my head for so long, then it must be somewhat decent, and forced myself to turn it into a song eventually.
As for resources, this was made using FL Studio 10, with East/West for the legato flute, strings, piano, brass and cymbal roll. Some of the percussion along with a certain brass hit was taken from Vengeance Essential House. The rest is all freeware: I used a soundfont called BassFing for the bass, a free Kontakt 4 guitar library along with FreeAmp, Sonatina Symphonic Orchestra free soundfonts for the staccato flute and some of the bongos, and then random drum samples from here: (http://www.darkbeats.com /sampleswap/) for a lot of the percussion. This has over 100 patterns, and it's one of my longest recent songs.
The theme of this song is pretty hard to define. Personally I kinda thought this song would represent a traveler entering a mysterious new world and discovering the odd/quirky traditions of its inhabitants. In light of that I tried to add loads of different moods and styles in the song - you'll be hearing adventurous, tribal, uplifting and at some points even jazz-like sections. My friends think this song reminds them of guys with afros in the 70's walking in slow motion, meh.
Thanks for listening, and as always feedback is greatly appreciated!
EDIT: Fixed a lot of stuff that reviewers mentioned. I used the cymbal roll less (and used a gong in certain parts), turned the volume down to reduce clipping (hopefully), added some more elements in the part at 2:24, made the descending guitar run right before the piano solo a bit louder, and did some random stuff like change a note in the legato flute part, vary the drums a bit more, etc...
Hope it sounds better!
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
This is cool but i not gonna vote ten.....I vote nine because i heard this on another site... im not saying u copied it...... but mayby other people copy so make the comments bad...... and then they won't copy! Vote if u think it is a good idea!
Wow really you heard this on another site?
Can you contact me from here: http://goo.gl/4ULwa linking me to the site where you heard it from, please?
Anyway thanks for the heads up. Glad you liked my song!
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Lovin it all
im lovin this music, its awsome, but what i also think is its awsome that you have replied to almost every review which means you care what ppl think, well done to you and keep it up :D
Of course I care about what people think of my songs ;D.
But yeah I try to make sure I respond to everyone. It's the least I can do as gratitude for all the reviews I'm getting.
Thanks for the review, man, really glad you like this song!
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Sir, I don't know what to say...
But, this song was absolutely amazing! Amazing work, sir! I loved it
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Getting down to it!
SuperSteph, this is awesome! I love the guitar/ piano parts how they just run up and down beautifully. I love the kind of early 90's digital drum you have hitting in the background. Dont have many crits, overall i found it really enjoyable to listen to, and dont want to disect something which gets my groove on - im just going with it.
I really like it!
Fav'd, 5 and 10'd
Thank you very much! I think the guitar part here is like my first ever proper guitar solo (or maybe second if you consider the Chaoz Fantasy Remix one but that one was played by Pure-Metal-UTA).
I digress. Thanks for the review and the favourite! As usual, the compliments mean a lot coming from you :3.
Rated 4 / 5 stars
magnificent composition and production
i really like how well put together this is. the amount of work put into this just seems intense. the composition is intricate and keeps the listener guessing and entertained. and the dynamics! just superb. this song is a great example of the power of dynamics.
however, what i didn't like was probably the overall mixing and mastering. personally, i didn't enjoy the massive amounts of reverb on the percussion. it kind of added an unneccessary layer of sound to the song in my opinion. whatever. regardless, this is an excellent piece! keep it up
Hey, I appreciate the review, thanks :3.
"i really like how well put together this is. the amount of work put into this just seems intense. the composition is intricate and keeps the listener guessing and entertained. and the dynamics! just superb. this song is a great example of the power of dynamics."
Glad you liked it. I think dynamics and mood changes are definitely important when it comes to writing long songs like this, so yes, dynamics are indeed powerful!
"however, what i didn't like was probably the overall mixing and mastering. personally, i didn't enjoy the massive amounts of reverb on the percussion. it kind of added an unneccessary layer of sound to the song in my opinion. whatever. regardless, this is an excellent piece! keep it up"
Ah, you're not the first to point out the percussion's reverb. The first time someone pointed it out I tried to make the reverb a bit more subtle but I guess I didn't make it subtle enough!
Thanks a LOT for the review.

Best Of :: Bars & Clubs
Just when Hell's Kitchen threatened to become a bit of a gay cliché, Industry Bar opened with a splash late last year and injected some new life. The hangout—courtesy of the folks who brought you Barracuda and Elmo—peps up the neighborhood seven nights a week, from 4 p.m. to 4 a.m., with cruising, amusing, and drag queens. The bar is flashy, with different-colored panels making it look like a game show set constructed on crystal, and there's a side area, with balloon-like hanging lights and comfy banquettes, where the mood gets extra festive. It's all obviously decorated by gays—and so is the entertainment, from Diva! Mondays starring Marty Thomas and a special guest every week, to Thursday's Queen Night, featuring the bodacious house diva, Shequida. Best of all are the special events, which you can probably schmooze your way into—like the night Fran Drescher was swarmed with gays as Shequida announced, "I've loved this bitch since the '90s, when I was born." DJs include Scotty Rox, Kevin Graves, and DJ Dawson, and if you ever get over it, Therapy is right across the street. 355 West 52nd Street, 646-476-2747, industry-bar.com (10019)
When it started seeming as if the dance club was as lost a New York tradition as the porn store—thanks to the economy, city crackdowns, and the increasing power of neighborhood boards who detest nightlife as if it were trouble in River City—along came District 36, which got the licenses, beat the odds, and opened last year in a perfectly sane, mid-level way that's right for this era. The 14,000-square-foot place on the site of an old clothing factory is, by its owners' admission, not overly done up. The space is not about excess or gratuitous expense, but it still looks sleek and appealing, thanks to slick lighting effects, slide projections, and a futuristic cage of a DJ booth that has housed names like Larry Tee, Victor Calderone, and Jonathan Peters. Newbies dance without even knowing what a rare and exalted commodity they're engaging in. Hopefully this club will have sex with another dance club and make babies. 29 West 36th Street, 212-244-3636, d36nyc.com (10018)
There's still no topping Marie's Crisis, "where showtunes come to die—but you have a helluva time while they're doing it." The long-running West Village dive, complete with an always-smudged mirror behind the bar, is a zingy neighborhood party full of every boozy theater hound in town, uniting in multiple harmony to songs from Gypsy and Les Mis. It's as if the ghost of Christmas future were showing the cast of Glee what they will someday become. House pianists including Jim Allen, Dexter Watson, and Franca Vercelloni tinkle the Gershwin, Sondheim, and Schwartz tunes of your dreams (put a dollar in their fishbowl, and they'll play just about anything); singing waitrons like Maggie Wirth entertain with novelty numbers from Chicago and Steel Pier; and the place reeks of insouciant fun, as if no one's really in charge or watching, so it's a great moment to let loose and let it shine. Be wicked—and by the way, anyone who can get down the narrow steps to the bathroom and back again deserves a curtain call. 59 Grove Street (10014)
Nowhere Bar could really be just about anywhere, with its unpretentiously comfortable Anytown, U.S.A., rec room feeling, straight out of the 19th century, decor-wise, but with a distinct hint of Twin Peaks-like eccentricity. The floors are wood, the walls are brick, and past the long bar and the single video screen (usually showing something wonderfully obscure and static), there's a pool table, a side alcove, and for even more privacy, a divey nook in the far back with a single strand of lights adorning the wall. The jukebox that's often off (in favor of DJ music) and the faux fireplace add to the down-home weirdness, which the neighborhood gays find heaven, from "Macho" Mondays to "Numbers" Saturdays and beyond. One of the best-known nights, "Buddies" Tuesdays, attracts "bears, cubs, admirers, and friends"—and sometimes those friends are even lesbians. Yes, this ultra-relaxed hangout usually gets an actual mix of LGBT people—so maybe it couldn't be just anywhere but the East Village. 322 East 14th Street, 212-477-4744 (10003)
With an even quicker tongue than Triumph the Insult Comic Dog, Bianca Del Rio has a quip for every occasion and a smear for every upstart. Like other up-to-the-minute comics, the New Orleans–born drag queen shatters stereotypes by embracing them—i.e., she doesn't really think Asians only do nails and laundry, but she'll invoke those clichés to get a laugh that raises eyebrows and deflates rigid thought. Like the best insult comics, Bianca won't skewer you unless she cares, so while some of her audience members cower (at clubs like Splash and Bowery Poets Club; and on Bianca's Logo-televised concert appearances), terrified of being picked on, anyone sensible will rise to the occasion and beg for it. Bianca's soundest advice to fellow drag queens? "Never wear an ill-fitting green dress that'll make you look like moldy sausage in its casing," and "always know when to wash your wigs. After all, you wouldn't want to walk around looking like Tyra Banks's broke-down uncle." facebook.com/people/Bianca-Del-Rio/1228423926
When owner Ali Farahnakian moved his Peoples Improv Theater from a tiny place on West 29th Street to its spacious new digs in Gramercy late last year, he made the seemingly impossible happen—he turned the PIT into a comfortable, hip space with a stellar nightly lineup and, miraculously, didn't have to raise ticket prices. Still as cheap as ever, the shows range from absolutely free to $10. (Hooray for no drink minimums!) The space, formerly the home of the Blue Heron Arts Center and Algonquin Theatre, features a 99-seat theater with excellent sight lines, a basement lounge for comics to test out new material, and a full bar and coffee shop that's open all day with free wifi for customers. Farahnakian certainly knows what he's doing: He's an alum of the Chicago–based comedy club Second City, a founding member of Upright Citizens Brigade, and a former writer for Saturday Night Live. (A wall of photos outside the main stage shows him hanging out with old SNL pals including Tina Fey, Tracy Morgan, and Rachel Dratch.) A great night to go is Wednesday, when all the shows are free (and regularly sold out). Saturdays feature the outstanding PIT house team Big Black Car, which includes the lovable duo Kristen Schaal (Flight of the Conchords) and Kurt Braunohler in its cast. And for those who get bit by the comedy bug, the PIT still offers its popular acting and writing classes with experienced teachers from The Daily Show, SNL, and elsewhere at its school on the West Side. 123 East 24th Street, 212-563-7488, thepit-nyc.com (10010)

London – Stand And Deliver
Wednesday, June 10th, 2009Jamaican model Oreanthia was in the middle of a busy catwalk schedule for GFW, when she kindly gave me a few moments to capture her look. I love the striking structure of her Zara jacket.
