Have Hot Wheels been raised to the status of high art? Quite possibly.
For some, it is an item of deep meaning and contemplation: It represents the thrum of the unsleeping City of Angels, the perpetual motion unceasing. Viewed from above, it's as if you're watching blood course through the maze of veins, bringing oxygen to our organs and muscles. For the rest of us, Chris Burden's Metropolis II might simply be the greatest Hot Wheels track ever devised.
Metropolis I, built two years ago, utilized 80 Hot Wheels around a pair of single-lane highways; a monorail was also included. It was quickly purchased by the 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art in Kanazawa, Japan. What you see here, the sequel, is far larger: 1,200 Hot Wheels circulating throughout the city, 18 lanes of traffic (much like the 405 near the airport, ha ha), a baker's dozen trains and lines, and buildings made from various materials many of us would recognize from our childhoods — not just tiles and wooden blocks, but also Lincoln Logs and Lego bricks. The Los Angeles County Museum of Art will be claiming Metropolis II upon completion.
The finishing touches are being put on now; click above for a hypnotic two-minute video of Metropolis II.
I would have killed for this when I was a kid. So much to watch, I wish the video was narrated, and went into more detail of the how's and why's.
Actually the 405 doesn't move that fast by the airport. Very cool !!
I want one !
Really really neat! I wish it was narrated too.
I'd like to see it done with hydraulic motors, so it runs in eerie silence.
I think the enormous background racket was from the cars themselves. Hard to see how hydraulic drive would make it silent. Bit difficult to add narration because of the noise too. Can't imagine it going all day in LA art museum without the noise driving everybody nuts. Can't be doing the paintwork much good – hope there aren't any rare HW's in there! A bit like those collapsing domino layouts that are so fascinating to watch but in a totally new way. I love it. Hope I get one for Xmas! I wonder if Mattel bid for it?
I don't know about art, but I know what I like.
This, I like.
Major fan of Hot Wheels, Sizzlers, slot cars, trains, and custom layouts. However, this one struck me as oddly cold, about as interesting as a machine that makes candy or an automated packaging system. Sure, it's cool for a few minutes, but then….
I just can't shake the feeling of the enormous waste of time on this one for the level of results. But that's just me.
The traffic in my state doesn't run that smoothly! Makes you wish for a 6-pack and an hour to yrslf, doesn't it?
Cats would go crazy with this!
[…] Shared Chris Burden's Metropolis II: the greatest Hot Wheels track ever devised?. […]
Basically either an exercise in material handling technology (but without the conveyors since the cars have their own wheels) or material handling for production (think food bottles being filled, labeled, and packed by machine). Anyone who has seen a major product distribution center would feel comfortable when seeing this.
He also appears to have modified the cars by painting their windows (maybe weighting them?) along with just choosing certain sizes and types of vehicles. The brushes would help to swipe down the vehicles that may jump up.
All that said, I guess I have to make one to sell for some outlandish price as ~"ART"~…
This is incredible. When my son was small, his father build an incredible HO train track that covered two pieces of plywood. The entire thing sat on two foldout tables…. until Godzilla (the walking baby in a diaper) was tall enough to reach up and pull the intricate telephone lines and other items off the table. We then switched to hotwheel tracks and got pretty wild. We found a monorail that had night lights and ran on the tracks, it was very cool. I'm still crazy about hot wheels and would go wild for something like this in my dream house some day! It's amazing!
There's always been a fun display at the L.A. Museum that has balls dropping along many carefully configured objects, rolling along tracks, spinning things and more. I imagine this will be perfect in the same room. I've grown up with that exhibit and can't wait to visit to see Metropolis ll.
The soundtrack this needs is Koyaanisqatsi.
One of the coolest things I've ever seen. C'mon you older guys, admit that was fascinating…
I'd be happy to stipulate that this is the greatest Hot Wheels track yet devised!
One of those cars needs a camera on it. Just sayin…

Based on eCEC alone, chronic Ni toxicity in soils could be predicted within a factor of 2 for soils with a wide range of physico-chemical parameters. Currently, there are no independent datasets available for these species/functions to validate the models. However, the models are calibrated for soils that represent the full range in physico-chemical parameters (pH, clay, OM, eCEC) for the EU, and therefore it is expected that for soils in the same range, predictions will show the same uncertainty (i.e., factor of 2).
Figures 3, 4, and 5 show an overview of the relationship between the observed and predicted chronic Ni-toxicity values for microbial processes, invertebrates, and higher plants.

I Love My Skin
With all the talk about loving our hair and whipping it back and forth, we figured we'd keep the ball rolling and celebrate why we love our beautiful brown skin. Here are ten reasons we can't get enough!
I love my skin because it is . . .
. . . diverse. From creamy tapioca and warm caramel to sweet cinnamon and deep ebony, our skin comes in a myriad of shades—all equally stunning.
. . . kissable. Especially by the sun. While we still need to pile on the sunscreen, we don't need to run from her embracing rays. Instead, we welcome them.
. . . luminous. There's just something radiant about our skin. Whether it's just been sun-kissed or is naturally almond-roasted, the rich yellow and red undertones make us glow.
. . . ageless. As the saying goes, "Black don't crack." And there's some truth to it. The large amounts of melanin in our skin protects from long-term damage associated with aging, like deep wrinkles and age spots.

I'm sorry, but it seems you've missed a very large chunk of what's actually being suggested here, claiming people are trying to simply buff the Hellriegel is absurd.
The Ribeyrolles is a bridge between SMGs and Machine Rifles, while the Hellriegel should inherently be a bridge between SMGs and Machine Guns (aka high capacity, suppressive fire types). They fill a similar role in different ways.

My disdain is triple for those who whine that the Hellriegl needs more range. At 650 RPM and 60 round mag, it is a low skill weapon for the chickenshit. Hold down the trigger and walk it on. I can say that because I'm Probably one of the "shitbuckets" and my KPM is higher with the chickenshit gun than any other. I quit using it because I decided I wasn't going to get any better, it's just too easy to use. I cannot fathom why 110/level 50 assault players with 50 SS on the damn thing still use it. Time to move on to another class or game.

The problem is that we have short TTK weapons for close quarters like automatico and shotguns, and for medium range like the SMLE. And that makes the rest of the weapons very frustrating to play with.

DIY Room Decor: How To Make Easy Paint-Dipped Jars
Sweet and simple: make these minimal bud vases with reused glass jars and spray paint.
Skill Level: Easy
Time Required: 1 hour
Project Cost: $10
What You Need
- 3-5 mix-and-matched glass jars, clean and sticker-free
- Painters or masking tape
- White spray paint (glossy finish optimal)
- Wine bottle or other cylindrical object
- X-Acto knife
1. Clean jars of all stickers and labels. Let them dry completely.
2. Completely tape off the part of the jars you don't want to painted, and make sure there are no holes or bumps in the tape that would let spray paint through.
3. Prop jar upside down on a wine bottle or other cylindrical object and spray paint, making sure to evenly coat the jar without overspraying (which will cause drips).
4. Let dry, remove tape, then clean up the line of paint with an X-Acto knife if you need to. Fill with plants and enjoy in your home!

Frisco utilities are varied, and the choices that you have for your different services may vary widely based upon your location within the city. Because of the variety of choices by location, we can't tell you an exhaustive list of who your potential providers may be, but we hope this information helps make your decisions easier.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: How do I know which company serves my house?
A: Unfortunately there are no hard and fast rules as to which company serves your house. As your neighborhood was being built, the developer chose which company served the neighborhood as a whole, so if you are buying a new house, ask your builder. If you are buying a pre-owned home, ask your real estate agent or the person from whom you are buying the house.
If your home is served by TXU…
As you may know, Texas operates under a deregulated electricity market – that means if your house is served by an investor owned utility (such as TXU) you have the ability to choose from whom you purchase your electricity. If your home is served by TXU, you may use TXU Energy as your retail electric provider, or you may choose any other retail electric provider. The best place to find retail electric providers that can serve your home is by going to http://www.powertochoose.com and filling in your zip code to see a comparison of available electricity plans.
If your home is served by CoServ…
CoServ Electric is organized as an electric co-op, which is owned by the members (the customers) of the company and governed by a member-electric Board of Directors. Due to this, it is not subject to deregulation, and so you must purchase your electricity through CoServ Electric.
Natural Gas:
Unlike electric service, natural gas service is fully regulated by the State of Texas. There are still two providers in Frisco, but every home will be served by only one of the two. Like electric, there are no determinate location-based rules that govern which natural gas company serves your home. Contact your builder or real estate agent, or call the companies and provide them with your address.
Cable Television:
There are several choices for cable and dish service. Please visit our business directory to see which providers are members of the Chamber of Commerce.
Local Telephone Service:
Like most other utilities, there is a broad range of choices for local telephone service. In Frisco, your options are governed similarly to electric service: that is if your home is served by at&t, you may either choose them as your service provider or you may choose any of the competitive providers. Competitive provider options may be foud in the front of you phone book, or by going to the Public Utility Commission of Texas website at http://www.puc.state.tx.us/telecomm/index.cfm. If, however, your home is served by Grande, you will have to purchase your local service through them.
Internet Service Options:
Internet connectivity within Frisco is not regulated, so the options are newarly unlimited. All areas are served by numerous dial-up internet service providers, and high-speed options vary throughout the city. Generally speaking, you will have access through either your cable television provider, your local telephone provider, or in many cases both! In many cases, you also have the choice to purchase high-speed internet access through satellite and other wireless providers. Because internet options are not regulated and change almost daily, we can't provide an accurate list of options here. Check with your cable television, local phone, or satellite provider, or check local retail electronics stores for current options.
Water, Sewer, Trash and Recycling:
These services are provided by the City of Frisco.
City of Frisco Utilities – (972) 335-5575 – http://www.friscotexas.gov
Still need help or have other utility questions?
Call the City of Frisco between 8:00 a.m. – 5:00p.m. Monday through Friday at (972) 335.5555 or e-mail at email@example.com
These are utility members of the Frisco Chamber of Commerce:

To the Editor:
In the summer of 1975 a large gathering of Catholics, mostly women, some men, including a few bishops, met in Detroit for the Women's Ordination Conference. Their purpose: to engage in theological and pastoral reflection on the almost forbidden topic of the ordination of women to the Roman Catholic priesthood.
Scholars, including a biblical commission established by Pope Paul VI, reported no scriptural impediment to women priests. Sister Margaret Farley, a professor of ethics at Yale Divinity School, called their inclusion a ''moral imperative.''
The euphoria and expectation experienced in Detroit were dashed by the Roman response: No. Not now. Not ever. The papal proscription notwithstanding, many Catholics decry the sin of sexism sanctified by tradition. Women and men faithful to Jesus' spirit have continued to call for an end to discrimination in the church.
The first draft of a pastoral letter released by the U.S. Catholic Bishops last month, ''Partners in the Mystery of Redemption: A Pastoral Response to Women's Concerns,'' admits that women have, in the bishops' words: ''Led us collectively to a profound examination of conscience. Sexist attitudes have colored church teaching and practice over the centuries.''
Not yet ready to concede the moral imperative of women's ordination, the document's framers recommend the opening of ministries currently denied to women, including preaching. They encourage the appointment of women to seminary and diocesan positions and suggest continued study into the possibility of ordaining them to the permanent diaconate.Continue reading the main story
The bishops also address a seemingly minor issue with serious educational implications. For years people within the Catholic community have worried about the induction of children into a sanctuary-based ''male only'' club. Many have asked that altar girls might serve with altar boys. They maintain that it is wrong to model the sin of sexism at the table of the Lord. The pastoral letter makes public a request from the American bishops to the Vatican that young girls and women be permitted to join their male counterparts as altar servers.
This is not the first time these issues have been raised. In December 1985, the Maryland-based Priests for Equality circulated ''Toward a Full and Equal Sharing,'' a scholarly document that calls for full participation by women at all levels of ministry, including the priesthood.
The bishops' letter has two advantages over the priests' document. First, it was written after hundreds of open hearings in dioceses across the country, in which Catholics expressed their concerns; and second, the authorship of this pastoral will be credible to Catholics unfamiliar with Priests for Equality, an international association of relatively recent vintage.
There are many who maintain that the bishops' pastoral hasn't gone far enough in recognizing the full participation of women in the life of the church. But few can deny its effort to expose ecclesiastical sexism and to begin spiritual renewal.
Equality will one day find a comfortable home within the Roman Catholic Church. This will happen not because it is expedient or practical, but because it is just. Without justice, the church itself will remain less effective, incomplete and wanting in holiness. (Sister) CAMILLE D'ARIENZO Brooklyn, May 10, 1988
The writer is professor of television and radio at Brooklyn College.Continue reading the main story

A concrete calculator can be a very handy tool when it comes to estimating concrete for floors, blocks, cylinders, slabs and walls.
On this page you'll find links to all my different calculators. If you don't find what you need here just contact me an let me know what you need.
Use these calculators for estimating purposes only. Always double check your calculations when you figure concrete for a project. I have a formula to calculate concrete for floors and slabs on the desktop download page and a formula for cylinders and sono-tubes on the cubic yards page.
The concrete calculator APP for the Iphone and Android smartphone is terrific! I use it daily. The free desktop download is courtesy of Meet-Mr-Concrete.
Learn how I check the sub-grade to find the average thickness of a concrete floor on either the Floors or Slabs calculator page. When I order concrete from a ready mix company, I always get 1/2 to 1 yard more than what is says on the calculator. Concrete isn't something you want to run out of before you're finished pouring.

Sure there are many distractions at home, but if you are working at home, you don't have to worry about rushing home for emergencies. This cuts down on a number of problems, and as long as you have clear expectations about what needs to be done when, there shouldn't be any problems.
Of course it takes a lot of focus and discipline, but all in all, working from home has its benefits. For instance, if you want to eat your breakfast and work, you can. If you want to work in your bathrobe, you can. There wouldn't be the added stress of figuring out what to wear, how to deal with co-workers.
get real...I have a hard enough time concentrating at work with the use of the internet, I would love to admit that I have more productivity working from home but the truth be known I would play games and clean house. AND DANCE all the while. I would probably be happier and healthier but not all of us make it WORK.
Employees are more productive when working in the office. This is because they have to be focus and are most likely being watched or supervised. While working at home, a person is more likely to daydream, take frequent breaks, and do other things that they would nit do in the office.

Reservoir Engineer Speaks to the China University of Petroleum-Beijing (CUPB) Student Chapter
On the night of February 15th, five representatives of the CUPB SPE student chapter took part in the monthly meeting of SPE-NCI in Lido hotel. The corporate SPE members were managers and technicians mainly from Schlumberger, Newfield, Shell, ConocoPhillips, China Oil Field Services Limited and other famous petroleum companies.
The theme of this meeting was "Intelligent Wells – Where does it make sense and Where is it headed?". The speaker was Younes Jalali, a reservoir engineering advisor with Schlumberger. Younes Jalali presented the rationale for the 1st and 2nd generation I-wells, and then discussed two areas with which the industry is still grappling.
After the speech, the members of the CUPB student chapter talked with staff members from various petroleum companies. From the meeting, the students learned a lot and hope to take part in this kind of activity more often, as it could improve their standard and help with career choices.

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. (AP) - Mike Tisdale scored 18 points and No. 19 Illinois rebounded from its worst offensive showing in more than two decades by hanging on to beat Iowa 62-54 on Sunday.
Held to their lowest point total in 24 years in a 59-36 loss at Minnesota on Thursday, the Fighting Illini barely beat the Big Ten's 10th place team.
A 3-pointer by Jeff Peterson with 18 seconds left pulled Iowa within 58-54, but Tisdale and Mike Davis each hit two free throws as the Illini (18-4, 6-3 Big Ten) sent the Hawkeyes (12-10, 2-7) to their sixth loss in seven games. Illinois is trying to build some momentum for the postseason, and it simply couldn't afford to stumble again after that miserable showing against Minnesota.
Although it was far from a perfect performance, the Fighting Illini got a needed win.

William W. Purkey delivers a message that's as touchy-feely as hug guru Leo Buscaglia and as humorous as a David Letterman monologue.
"Live to enjoy," "Take time for each other" and "I'm a nacho chip and the world's a dip" are just a few of his refrains.
But Dr. Purkey isn't the latest arrival on the book circuit or in the late-night TV wars. He's a university professor who travels around the country talking about a serious topic: children at risk of dropping out of school.

Ron Klain was chief of staff to Vice President Al Gore and a senior advisor to Gore's 2000 campaign. If I'm not mistaken, he has also served in Bill Clinton's Office of White House Counsel and on Tom Daschle's Senate staff, and was once a top staffer for the Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee. Despite these dubious credentials, the word among conservatives I respect is that he's a good guy, and that was my impression when I met him some years ago.
In today's Los Angeles Times, Klain warns Democrats not to make light of President Bush's invocation of "the Almighty" in the defense of his Iraq policy. The president, you may recall, argued that "freedom is the Almighty's gift to every man and woman in this world." Apparently, the Democratic reaction has been a mixture of contempt and fear that Bush has embarked on a "relgious war." In Klain's view, though, this is a dangerous path for Democrats. Why? Because "for countless independent and swing voters, Bush's invocation of divine inspiration said far more about his values

Zambia's Hichilema in SA to 'celebrate his release with DA'
30 August 2017
Cape Town - Zambian opposition leader Hakainde Hichilema is in South Africa for a three-day visit, during which he will be attending, amongst others, a question session addressed by President Jacob Zuma in Parliament on Thursday.
Hichelema arrived in Cape Town on Wednesday afternoon where he is set to be hosted by Democratic Alliance leader Mmusi Maimane, who was prevented from entering Zambia in May when he wanted to attend his court case.
Hichilema was recently released from prison after four months and seven days, where he was held on charges of treason because, it was alleged he obstructed Zambian President Edgar Lungu's motorcade.
Maimane's chief of staff, Geordin Hill-Lewis, said on Wednesday that Hichilema came to celebrate his release with the DA.
"We wanted to have a celebration on his release from prison, where he was treated disgustingly, and of which the details are only starting to emerge now," Hill-Lewis said.
Pressure on governing parties
"We wanted to have a celebration with him but the impression we had was that we wouldn't be allowed into Zambia, so we arranged for him to come here."
Hill-Lewis said Hichilema would be attending and addressing the DA's caucus meeting on Thursday morning, ahead of the sitting in Parliament.
He is also set to attend the DA's federal executive meeting on Friday.
Hichilema's United Party for National Development is part of a network of opposition parties in the region, organised under the Southern African Partnership for Democratic Change, of which Maimane is the chairperson.
The network is meant to give opposition parties a voice in the region, and it was also used in this instance to effect pressure on governing parties to respect human rights.
Maimane, together with Economic Freedom Front leader Julius Malema, were invited by Lungu for a meeting when he attended the recent Southern African Development Community summit in Pretoria to talk about their criticism against Hichilema's arrest.
Both Maimane and Malema declined, with Maimane saying he would only agree to such a meeting when Lungu committed to democracy.

The Virgin Cure
A NovelBook - 2012
From Library Staff
CRRL_JohnGaines May 04, 2018
Set on the streets of Lower Manhattan in 1871, The Virgin Cure is the story of Moth, a girl abandoned by her father and raised by a mother telling fortunes to the city's desperate women. One summer night, twelve-year-old Moth is pulled from her bed and sold as a servant to a finely dressed woman.... Read More »

I love the historical references and the gripping story line. I really appreciate how Ami McKay takes something as horrific as the virgin cure, and treats it in a way that doesn't traumatize the reader, and yet, doesn't make light of the topic. A difficult line, walked beautifully.
Moth is a pretty young girl raised in poverty in the old New York City slums during the late 1800s. She learns that she'll do just about anything to survive. During the story, Moth meets a number of unsavory characters who are looking to exploit a young pretty girl. The story is interesting and I enjoyed learning more about the early history of New York City.
This book was all over the place, and none of the details seemed to have anything to do with each other. In post-Civil War New York, Moth is raised by her fortune teller mother. She is then forced to be a lady's maid for a very cruel woman. Then she escapes only to find herself in a very specialized brothel. From there she is employed at a circus and befriends a female doctor. Moth isn't a particularly well-drawn or interesting character. I finished this book wondering what the point of it was.
An easy read and interesting story of how an abandoned young girl finds herself on the road to becoming a prostitute. An often told story but with the observations of Doctor Sadie a more interesting one that most.
This book covers well documented territory and is far too predictable.
I now see why this has been such a popular read for book clubs, as there is plenty to discuss about this one! It was certainly an interesting read. The road to oldest profession in the world, what makes a girl end up choosing it, how they might be able to get out of it, and the generosity of those they hopefully will encounter along the way. I just wish you learned more about Dr. Sadie and what happened to poor Alice.
I kept reading on to see what would happen to the main character Moth. It was interesting to read about a different part of society in a historical perspective. I did not really appreciate the poetry and the extra information in the margins. I found the ending realistic for this character but was hoping for more in its conclusion.
The Virgin Cure is a historical novel set in the lower East side of late 19th-century New York City. It's narrated by Ada "Moth" Fenwick, an 11- or 12-year-old girl trying to survive after her mother sells her to be a rich woman's personal servant. Moth and her family come from the ranks of the unemployed, and the novel does an excellent job of portraying life in a city that just didn't have the resources or the interest to look after its poorest citizens. After some tough times, including resorting to petty thievery, Moth is taken in by a Madam who runs a brothel that specializes in virgins. The book's title comes from the belief among many men with a variety of sexually-transmitted diseases that having sex with a virgin will cure them. The Madam finds and trains young girls, typically orphans and run-aways, in the 19th-century art of seduction, so they can be sold to the highest bidder. If the girl is lucky, she'll become a kept woman, with her own hotel suite and plenty of clothes and food and nights at the theatre with her lover (almost always a wealthy married man).
Moth's voice is consistent throughout the story and matter-of-fact. She takes New York as it is, neither criticizing the lack of support nor mythologizing the poor as noble sufferers. The story is rather bleak, but lightened by a large cast of characters doing their best to make a living amid the squalor and disease. I found the ending was a bit too neat and tidy, but otherwise it's a well-written story that showed me a time and place that I knew little about.
Ami McKay has a talent for taking depressing topics and not making the reader miserable while telling a story. I enjoy that she chooses to write about atypical women in historical settings. I prefered the Birth House, but it is one of my favourite books of all time. This is a strong follow up. I read it practically straight through.
SummaryAdd a Summary
Following in the footsteps of The Birth House , her powerful debut novel, The Virgin Cure secures Ami McKay's place as one of our most beguiling storytellers. (Not that it has to… that is pretty much taken care of!) "I am Moth, a girl from the lowest part of Chrystie Street, born to a slum-house mystic and the man who broke her heart." So begins The Virgin Cure , a novel set in the tenements of lower Manhattan in the year 1871. As a young child, Moth's father smiled, tipped his hat and walked away from his wife and daughter forever, and Moth has never stopped imagining that one day they may be reunited -- despite knowing in her heart what he chose over them. Her hard mother is barely making a living with her fortune-telling, sometimes for well-heeled clients, yet Moth is all too aware of how she really pays the rent. Life would be so much better, Moth knows, if fortune had gone the other way - if only she'd had the luxury of a good family and some station in life. The young Moth spends her days wandering the streets of her own and better neighbourhoods, imagining what days are like for the wealthy women whose grand yet forbidding gardens she slips through when no one's looking. Yet every night Moth must return to the disease- and grief-ridden tenements she calls home. The summer Moth turns twelve, her mother puts a halt to her explorations by selling her boots to a local vendor, convinced that Moth was planning to run away. Wanting to make the most of her every asset, she also sells Moth to a wealthy woman as a servant, with no intention of ever seeing her again. These betrayals lead Moth to the wild, murky world of the Bowery, filled with house-thieves, pickpockets, beggars, sideshow freaks and prostitutes, but also a locale frequented by New York's social elite. Their patronage supports the shadowy undersphere, where businesses can flourish if they truly understand the importance of wealth and social standing - and of keeping secrets. In that world Moth meets Miss Everett, the owner of a brothel simply known as an "infant school." There Moth finds the orderly solace she has always wanted, and begins to imagine herself embarking upon a new path. Yet salvation does not come without its price: Miss Everett caters to gentlemen who pay dearly for companions who are "willing and clean," and the most desirable of them all are young virgins like Moth. That's not the worst of the situation, though. In a time and place where mysterious illnesses ravage those who haven't been cautious, no matter their social station, diseased men yearn for a "virgin cure" - thinking that deflowering a "fresh maid" can heal the incurable and tainted. Through the friendship of Dr. Sadie, a female physician who works to help young women like her, Moth learns to question and observe the world around her. Moth's new friends are falling prey to fates both expected and forced upon them, yet she knows the law will not protect her, and that polite society ignores her. Still she dreams of answering to no one but herself. There's a high price for such independence, though, and no one knows that better than a girl from Chrystie Street.
Moth, abandoned by her father and raised by her hard-scrabble, fortune-telling mother, roams the mean streets of New York City in 1871 dreaming of a better life than that of the tenement slum where she lives. When she turns 12, her mother sells her as a servant to a wealthy, demanding –and, as Moth soon learns, brutally cruel – woman, Mrs. Wentworth. With the help of another servant, Moth breaks free only to land on the streets again, this time totally alone and homeless. A chance meeting leads to a tentative friendship with Dr. Sadie, a ground-breaking female physician who tends to the poor and desperate. McKay's vivid descriptions make the novel come to life as the reader inhabits the bawdy Bowery district and filthy streets of NYC, as well as the sumptuous concert halls and brothels. Dr. Sadie is based on the author's own great-great grandmother.
The title comes from the myth of the time that deflowering a virgin would cure a man of deadly syphilis. Sprinkled throughout the novel are snippets from newspapers, journals and periodicals of the era, providing a glimpse into the lives of both the privileged and the down-trodden.

Moth, part Gypsy and born into abject poverty in 1871 Manhattan, so her prospects are dim. Still, the 12-year-old, given her name by her capricious and since-decamped father, shares a lumpy straw mattress in a tenement with her fortune-telling Mama and dreams of a life she glimpses through windows in the neighbourhoods north of Houston.
It's not that Moth is blind to her fate – Mama hints broadly that their salvation hinges on Moth's successful appointment as a maid to the wealthy – but Moth figures on 13. Thirteen, and she'll find her own way. Mama, streetwise but self-indulgent, nursing a broken heart with bottles of Dr. Godfrey's cordial, has other plans. One summer night, Moth is awakened and sold away.
There's more than a shading of Dickensian cruelty in Moth's stay at the Wentworth household, and she endures it with heartbreaking resolve to support her mother. When she finally escapes, her discovery that her mother has deserted their home is all the more harrowing. As in all good fairy tales, the orphaning marks the beginning of the real story: Lower Manhattan is the heart of darkness for a motherless girl of no means. "Girls sold matches and pins, then flowers and hot corn, and then themselves," she tells us. "The most valuable thing a girl possessed was hidden between her legs, waiting to be sold to the highest bidder."
On the mean streets, she sleeps on a rooftop in a barrel with mouldy burlap bags for warmth, begging pennies and fending off attacks from guttersnipes and lecherous men. You'll feel the grime under your fingernails. Rats move inside Moth's straw mattress, clods of horse dung fuel barrel fires, and she passes time guessing whether what's squirming in garbage bins is rat, cat or baby. When the snow melts in spring, the streets of the slum run with "a vile slop of chicken innards, bits of wet newsprint and stale dung." There are rag pickers, bloodsuckers, oyster stabbers and Dick the Ratter. McKay's ability to make Moth's slum experience visceral is testament to her meticulous research and storytelling prowess.
But if Moth is vulnerable, she is also wily. "It was inevitable that I should part with my innocence," she says, having been recruited as a prostitute-in-training within days, "but at least under Miss Everett's roof I hoped I might get a chance to give it up for a fair price." At the Infant School, Miss Everett is madam to a handful of girls whose maidenheads she will sell at a premium to wealthy men. It's worth noting that 18th-century slang for female genitalia included "commodity" and "Eve's custom house," but what has been most prized through the centuries is the unbroken hymen, long linked (unreliably) to a young woman's purity.

Roy Clay, Black Godfather of Silicon Valley
by Andrew Bozeman
Many accomplishments of African Americans tend to be erased or buried by mainstream historians. On one hand, successful sports and entertainment figures are idolized as we celebrate our physical and artistic talents. On the other hand, our mental giants – scientific innovators, inventors and titans of business – are rendered invisible.
Roy L. Clay Sr. is the name of this African American star. In 1965, he created and headed the Hewlett-Packard computer division. It was the first computer company in the Silicon Valley.
In 1966, Roy and his team created the HP-2116, the world's first mini-computer. The HP-2116 mini-computer was unlike any other computer in the world at that time. All other computers were huge machines that filled special rooms that had to be air-conditioned.
Roy's mini-computer, which was about the size of a small, under-the-counter refrigerator, was designed to stand alone and survive "in the wild." The first HP-2116 was purchased by Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute and was used aboard a research vessel where it was exposed to salt air and constant temperature changes. It operated successfully for more than 10 years.
Roy Clay built his reputation in the late 1950s when he worked for Lawrence Radiation Laboratory on the most advanced computers in the world. There he created a computer simulation program that showed how particles of radiation would be dispersed through the atmosphere after an atomic explosion.
On the basis of his reputation, Roy Clay was sought out and hired by David Packard, co-founder of Hewlett-Packard, who wanted to create a new computer that could stand alone and would also work with other instruments that HP built. Roy took the job and set up HP's computer development business in an atmosphere that he felt would be conducive to creativity. His workers began the day by playing golf together at daybreak and filtered into HP around 9 a.m. They stayed at work until their work was done.
Roy also proved to be very valuable to what became the premier venture-capital firm in the world, Kleiner Perkins Caulfield and Byers. He was selected as the consultant who advised the company on which computer start-ups they should fund. His guidance led to the initial funding of Intel, Compaq and Tandem, among many other Silicon Valley success stories.
Roy Clay's young life was similar to the lives of many African Americans in the late 1940s and '50s. He was born in Kinloch, Missouri. It was the oldest African-American community incorporated in Missouri. He lived in a home with no indoor plumbing and a neighborhood with no streetlights and few paved roads. As in most American communities with an African American population that is separate from the white population, there was a tradition of police picking up Black boys like Clay if they wandered outside of Kinloch after dark.
"Everybody cared," Clay said of his hometown. That was in keeping with the African American tradition of "it takes a village to raise a child." He says that his first teacher "inspired me to do well. By the time I left that little school, I thought I could learn to do anything."
He went on to graduate from Saint Louis University, where he majored in mathematics. With strong ambition and determination, Clay seized upon every opportunity that came his way. Through hard work, his superior intellect and a bit of luck, he eventually became the technological pioneer who earned the title of "Godfather of Silicon Valley." Roy L. Clay Sr. was inducted into the Silicon Valley Engineering Council's Hall of Fame in 2003.
Despite his many achievements, Roy L. Clay remains humble. He states, "I started the HP computer company coming from Kinloch, Missouri. What I could do, many other people could do. I didn't see myself as a special person," Clay says. "Sometimes the breaks didn't come to get [some people] through. I had that break. I grasped the opportunity to break through."
For many years, computers had to have the ROD-L sticker on the back to show that they were certified by UL. According to Clay, "If it didn't have Rod-L on that rear panel, it meant it was not a real IBM computer." His tester is still the standard today.
In 1973 Clay became the first African American to serve as councilman for the city of Palo Alto, California, which is home to Stanford University as well as Hewlett-Packard. He also served the city as vice-mayor.
His activist spirit was aroused by a Richard Nixon-era policy proposal of "benign neglect," which aimed to withhold resources from urban African American neighborhoods. In response, he helped organize networking events for Black technology workers. His philosophy was, "The way to get through [benign neglect] is to get African Americans in positions to do things so we can get others in positions to do things."
That is a philosophy that would serve the entire African American population in our efforts to rebuild and revitalize our communities. Thank you, Roy L. Clay, for your highly respected contributions to the world of technology.

MATTAWAN, MI -- It's afternoon practice for the Mattawan High School tennis team, and junior varsity coach Steve Norton sends off four kids to play a doubles match.
There are some minor accommodations made that allow Caleb to compete in tennis. The biggest is Caleb is allowed two bounces before he has to hit the ball. Also, he normally plays in doubles matches, which allows him to be paired with a able-bodied partner who can help him cover the court.
It turns out that Caleb is not the only teen with a wheelchair playing high school tennis this year in southwest Michigan. There also is such a player at Lakeshore High School in Berrien County, and he and Caleb had a singles match earlier this month when the two schools had a meet.

Kudos to KFC – their public relations team have been on top form lately.
Or, at least, they might be – if their plan has been to make us associate The Colonel with Jigsaw from the Saw movies, then mission definitely accomplished.
The fried chicken company has announced a VR "training" game, ostensibly only for its employees, that will teach users how to make KFC (although don't expect the details on the famous secret recipe's unique blend of herbs and spices – they don't trust the average chicken fryer with that information), all while under the watchful eye of a series of incredibly creepy Colonel Sanders paintings and statues.
This is ostensibly an Escape Room in digital form, a kind of fun puzzle experience that's growing in popularity, but that doesn't generally involve quite as much nauseating raw chicken. It's a good thing this game doesn't come complete with genuine smells, otherwise this would all be too much to bear.
There's a scary robot, some weird music, and moody lighting. This is a VR horror game based on cooking KFC, and it's an official release from the company itself. That's weirder than any comic book where the Colonel teams up with Green Lantern.
If anything, this game trailer really shows just how nightmarish and horrible it must be to work in a Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurant. The next time you buy a bucket of greasy fried chicken, consider leaving a bigger than average tip for the poor beleaguered souls who, according to this game, are trapped in an endless nightmare of chicken frying that feels like a fever dream of the very worst kind.
The game hasn't been released in full yet, but from the looks of it, KFC are after grabbing attention from the lucrative YouTube jumpscare crowd, so don't be surprised if this thing turns up as a freebie for Oculus Rift in the near future.
In the meantime, does anyone else want some Popeyes? Watching this trailer is enough to kill anyone's interest in eating KFC ever again!

Signed by Eriksson for £8million from Shakhtar Donetsk last summer, Elano has been a huge factor in City´s meteoric rise to fourth spot in the table, and his superb performances have caught the eye across Europe.
"If Inter wanted one of our players, I am sure (coach) Roberto Mancini would have telephoned me straightaway," he said. "I know him and we speak regularly with each other. He would be the first one to tell me if Inter wanted Elano. So I don´t think they do."

MUST Remember!
Hydrocarbons are organic compounds that contain only carbon and hydrogen.
Hydrocarbons are organic compounds that contain only carbon and hydrogen.
|Saturated Hydrocarbon
- Hydrocarbon is a compound made out of the elements carbon and hydrogen only.
- Examples of hydrocarbon are alkane, alkene and alkyne.
- Hydrocarbon can be divided into two groups:
- saturated hydrocarbon Saturated hydrocarbons are hydrocarbons where all its carbon atoms are tied to each other through single covalent bond only. Examples: alkanes
- unsaturated hydrocarbon Unsaturated hydrocarbons are hydrocarbons which contains at least one double covalent bond among its carbon atoms. Examples: alkenes
- Ethanol ( C2H5OH ), ethanoic acid (CH3COOH), metal methanoat (HCOOCH3), chloromethane (CH3Cl) and others are not hydrocarbons because the molecule contains other elements such as chlorine or oxygen other than carbon and hydrogen.
MUST Know!
- Saturated - All single bond between carbons
- Unsaturate - Has at least one double/triple bond between carbons
Comparing Saturated and Unsaturated Hydrocarbon

It's been a funny old week. It started with Squeak's birthday. After a weekend of small celebrations with sisters, and then other family, we went out for tea with one of Squeak's schoolfriends. It was absolutely fabulous to see older sister Bubble looking after the schoolfriend. It is a side of her we rarely see.
On Tuesday Squeak got stuck in the 'drawer robe' (her version of wardrobe). She had decided to climb in as obviously neither mummy had responded quickly enough to her request for trousers. Much hilarity later, and Squeak was safely rescued. We go to Granny's for tea on Tuesdays. This week Bubble read her school book to her. I overheard a little snippet: 'The people who writed this book really know how to draw cows, don't they Granny?' 'That's a goat, dear.'
Wednesday brought Bubble's second foray into Rainbows. She loved it, and returned clutching cards and daffodils for us. Wednesday was also the day I discovered that the Head Teacher of the girls' school did not know that the Pupil Premium Plus existed! The school is very good, and the Head, in particular, is fantastic. We were shocked she had no idea about the PP+. She invited us to a meeting on Friday.
Thursday was tricky. We had both had difficult days at work. H was awash in homeless issues, and I was drowning in paperwork. I returned home to a very grumpy and hyper Bubble. Calm approaches just didn't work. One early bedtime later, and we heaved sighs of relief into the merlot.
Friday was heralded by Bubble telling us she had her 'good head on'. Thank goodness. H and I met up with the Head Teacher and educated her about the PP+. She was mortified she didn't know about it. We agreed that Bubble would have an hours home tuition a week with a Teaching Assistant, and that Squeak's dance classes will be paid for by the PP+. Result! We've also asked that some of the funding is used to train staff in attachment issues.
And so to the weekend. The girls have giggled their way through hiding Mothers' Day cards and gifts they have made at school. It will be amazing if they find them again on Sunday! And so, as my old primary school teacher used to say, 'ONWARDS!'

I'm not sure if you've heard this yet, but apparently the U.S. Economy is in some kind of trouble.
Seriously folks - the bad news is relentless and I have lots of executive friends who think the news media is at least partly to blame for the nose-diving economy. (Actually, some of them think the media is completely to blame, but they blame the media for everything). Certainly the media's relentless truth-telling isn't helping … but hey, this will be the subject of another blog, another day.
Today's topic – apropos these dark and stormy times – is the emerging debate over how best to cut personnel costs as companies in virtually all sectors scramble to retrench. Some companies have mandated across-the-board pay-cuts like Advanced Micro Devices with salary reductions of 5-15% - Caterpillar slashing pay by 15-35% - and FedEx knocking back pay by 5-15%.
Other companies have been trying a different approach: the furlough. (A furlough is defined as a temporary leave of absence, and in this climate, add unpaid). Gannett required all its employees to stay home for one week this quarter without pay while Piper Aircraft went further by requiring one week off in April and in July. Even the government is getting into the act, coast to coast, with California giving unpaid leave every other Friday (10% cut) for the rest of the year, while the state of New Jersey will ask workers to stay home twice between now and Memorial Day to save the state $39 million.
So, here's the question: your company has cut discretionary costs and has laid off a group of workers, but still needs to cut more. Your choice is between cutting pay and requiring a furlough.
What's an executive to do?
In my view, it depends on the company but in most cases the pay cut is preferable. For the worker, the pain is disbursed evenly over the course of the year as opposed to being isolated in a particular pay period (except in the California example, which spreads out the sacrifice over all pay checks). For the company, there is no reduction in workforce output whereas the furlough creates a real loss of productivity.
An exception would be a company that has inherently "dead" periods on the calendar where productivity is lost (or diminished) anyway. Certain companies produce cyclically and could time furloughs to match productivity requirements. And almost all companies suffer lower productivity on Fridays and during certain weeks in the summer.
With the Economy "getting worse before it gets better" – more companies will be facing the necessity to lower payroll. What are you going to do when the pay cut vs. furlough choice arrives on your desk?

Inmate Signs Real Name To Bomb Hoaxes
A New York prison inmate pleaded guilty on Tuesday to sending letters to the FBI and secret service that included bomb and anthrax threats -- as well as his full name and inmate number.
Donald Ray Bilby, 30, pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court in Trenton to one count of false information and hoaxes after he sent five letters demanding authorities deposit $20,000 in his county jail inmate account because he needed money for bail, the U.S. Attorney's Office said.
"I think it's fair to say we were not dealing with a great criminal mind here," U.S. Attorney Christopher Christie said in a statement.
Bilby signed all the letters using his full name and inserted his inmate number beneath his signature. One letter to the FBI included demands for money, a piece of paper labeled "anthrax" and a white powdery substance that turned out to be harmless.
He faces a maximum of five years in prison after first serving a sentence for automobile theft.

This is such a simple drink to make it's a shame to use the preservative-ridden prepared mixes instead.

- 3 ounces whisky
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 maraschino cherry to garnish
- Place a cocktail glass in the freezer for 5 minutes to chill.
- Put the lemon juice, whiskey and sugar into a cocktail shaker and add a handful of ice.

- Add the cherry and serve.

My office is starting to use LG L177WSB Flatron LCD Monitor with Gigabyte GA-G31M-ES2L v1.x (G31 Intel onboard VGA). Too bad the latest graphic driver from Intel could not set its native resolution 1440x900, other non native resolution such as 1600x900 or even higher is supported. Is this a bug?
Could Intel updated its driver to support LG L177WSB LCD Monitor with its native resolution which is 1440x900?
I've tried using other monitor Dell 17" LCD Monitor and it could run 1440x900 (native resolution too). It's only using LG L177WSB 17" LCD Monitor the driver could not set to its native resolution.
I had the same problem before, so i explore on any possibility, and finally found a way that work.
Right click on your desktop, choose graphics properties...
go to display setting, set your refresh rate to 75 Hertz
and voila, appear 1440 x 900 on screen resolution option.
hope that could help.

I started by applying Black wow on the exterior plastic & then washed the car with Nano-Tech wash & wax.
I then used Auto Glym Clay kit followed by Auto Glym HD Wax, leaving it 30 minutes before buffing it off to achieve the shine.
I used Wonder wheels on the alloys. Auto Glym Tyre dressing was used on the tyres and front grills letting it dry naturally, lastly I used Fast Glass on the windows.

Dirty Kisses
3:AM Kisses - 3:AM Kisses, Book 10
Addison Moore
This book can be downloaded and read in Apple Books on your Mac or iOS device.
*can be a STANDALONE*
Jet Madden is notoriously good in bed. It's not a fact I can confirm through experience, but, according to the lust-driven grapevine at Whitney Briggs University, he's a sexual force to be reckoned with—many, many times in a single savory night.
The day my world crashes around me, I'm shuttled off to live with the ratted, tatted, roided-up hulk. Regardless of the fact, I'll do anything to keep my distance from that egotistical, giant ball of muscles. The last thing I want is to become another notch on that totem pole of seduction he keeps tucked in his pants. The very last thing I want is to befriend or, God forbid, fall for Hollow Brook's resident wick dipper.
But that sheet rock chest, those steel cut abs—a girl can only hold up her resistance for so long before she slowly goes insane. I'm trying to resist him, really I am, but I have to see if those rumors are true.
Each night I dream of falling asleep in Jet Madden's arms, and each day I pretend as if I loathe his existence. It's all a lie. We're a lie. Staying away from Jet Madden is proving impossible. My body demands to collide with his, even if all it will ever amount to is our dirty little secret.
Dirty Kisses
He's afraid to get too attached.
She's afraid of losing control.
From the NEW YORK TIMES and USA TODAY bestselling author, Addison Moore—
Cosmopolitan Magazine calls Addison's books, "...easy, frothy fun!"
Customer Reviews
Jet and Daisy are made for each other!
Strong female character - check! Alpha male with a golden heart - check! Steamy romance - check! What else do you need? Jet can mark me anywhere, anytime! Lol! Addison Moore never disappoints! Another great addition to the 3AM Kisses Series!
Awesome Read!
It's fun, amazingly hilarious yet enduring at times and suspenseful. It keeps you on the edge! -Nook Books and More Blog
Addison Moore has done it again. Right from the start you get sucked right into Jet and Daisy's story. You'll have such a blast with the students at WBU! They are a riot! This book will keep you glued to it from beginning till the end. This has to be one of many of my favorite stories from this series, even though each can be read as stand alone. Country Kisses is still my number one but this one is now my favorite too! This book you will be laughing one minute, screaming at it the next, then crying, and back to laughing or just and enduring feeling in your heart.
Her characters have such strong feelings and emotions that make you relate to on such another level of realness to it. Though each one has endured so much of there personal hell, they still have a since of a pure good heart but still each has a strong mind and will to accomplish what they want and not become victims in their lives. I love it!
Jet and Daisy have such a rocky background and may not choose the best thing to do in order to try to see their way out. They know what they want and dig in deep for it.
Hey is a detached lover boy with a mind not to fall for anyone. Daisy is determine to do her own thing and not to depend on anyone especially her family. Together they collide and fire sparks. Is it real? Will the secrets and past haunt them? You'll have to read on to find out.
The flow and writing style of this book is truly epic and phenomenal. Addison's skills are amazingly wonderful at keeping a reader focused and intrigued through the entire story. I'd definitely read anything she has to write. I love each of her books all the genres. She's truly amazing writer. I read a lot of books but her stories are a definite favorite. I recommend them to all!
It took me all of 11 hours to finished Jet and Daisy's story because of the simple fact I was unable to put this one down! Their denial and love for each other is what kept me coming back for more! Addison Moore out-does herself with each and every story she writes and this one is no exception! Definitely a MUST READ!!!!

<< -- 3 -- John Bell Young LEGENDARY GENEROSITY
Strong and opinionated, Constance didn't care much for Mozart, though that hardly affected her profound understanding of the music and her ability to teach it. Her sense of humor was delicious. Koechel numbers (K533, K366, for example), she once told me, sounded like department store markdowns!
I cannot count the number of times in all the years I knew her that she would demonstrate, by her words and actions, her genuine interest, care, and passion for other artists, no matter their status, métier, or accomplishments. This ability to empathize and to lavish devotion was an exceptionally rare quality. For example -- one among hundreds I recall fondly -- in 1991 she opened her home for two weeks to the eminent Russian pianist, Margarita Fyodorova on her first visit to America. She may not have known just how meaningful that gesture was. After all, Fyodorova's world had just been turned upside down by the fall of the Soviet Union. Though Fyodorova didn't speak a word of English, and Constance not a word of Russian, they understood each other perfectly. In Fyodorova's eyes, Constance was sunlight itself. For this distinguished Russian artist, whose privileged world had vanished overnight, Constance's reassuring presence somehow served to diminish the terrifying uncertainty of a dangerous new era. To this day Fyodorova, now 81, talks about that first, optimistic, and altogether positive experience of America -- which Constance in so many ways represented for her -- with passion, respect, and the deepest gratitude.
As a matron of New York society, Constance dined with celebrities, threw chic musicales and cocktail parties, and held court for visiting artists. She threw a party for Hugh Downs and me upon the release of my new recording, Prisms, which featured a musical composition by Hugh. Shortly after that, she invited us to lunch, along with other prominent musicians, to discuss, over freshly imported smoked salmon, the fragile state of classical music. But no celebrity could ever take precedence over her duties as a teacher, or her devotion to her students. When she allowed actor Michael York and me to rehearse Strauss's Enoch Arden last year at her glittering new penthouse opposite Lincoln Center, she was apologetic but hardly concerned that she was not able to be there to meet him. She was busy teaching a young freshman at Manhattan School of Music, and so Michael and I were on our own amid her memorabilia, artwork, sweeping metropolitan views, and two Steinway grands.

"harvest/winter" is used several times, as it is in Amos 3:15,
with qayits "summer/summer fruit" (Gen 8:22;
Ps 74:17; Is 18:6;
Zech 14:8). Both words
refer to, both a season,
and to the agricultural activities associated with it. Jer 36:22
gives us an indication of the time of year meant by chorep for it
"the king was sitting in his chorep house
(it was the ninth month),
and there was a fire burning in the brazier before him."
The ninth month (chisleb) ran from mid-November into December, the month before (Marchesvan or Bul) was the season of plowing (an activity associated with chorep). From this we can deduce the rendering "winter house" as an approximation for "chorep house" here and in Am 3:15.

Style # 232855
Racerback Striped Dress is rated out of 5 by 5.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Princessx3 from Beautiful Dress This dress is so pretty!! I love the colors and the fit of this dress. The dress is also true to size. It was a little longer than I would like so I got it altered to about an inch above my knee & it's perfect! Definitely recommend this beautiful dress (:
Date published: 2014-07-13
Rated 5 out of 5 by Sophiaa from Comfy Gorgeous dress!! Just got it today in the mail and it's perfect and fits perfect. It's actually very comfortable on especially during the summer when you want to be comfortable. The fabric is light and soft and the colors are gorgeous! So happy I got this and I can wear it to many functions. I'm a sporty person who wears shorts a lot so this dress is great.
Date published: 2014-07-01
Rated 4 out of 5 by NINA176 from AMAZING COLOR BUT THIN FABRIC Let's just say, this is a dress to keep your figure in check. Definitely loved the color, but the fabric was on the thinner side. If you're looking for a forgiving dress, this isn't the one girl. I've worn this with both high wedges and flat sandals...the length goes perfect with both. Purchased in a large.
Date published: 2014-06-27
Rated 5 out of 5 by Almondjoic from Very pretty and stylish I love this dress. The colors are pretty, the length is great, and it fits like a glove. The material is thin, but ideal for the warm summer months. I purchased a medium and it's not tight at all
Date published: 2014-05-23
Rated 4 out of 5 by Lindsay from Pretty color and pattern! I got this in xl and it fit good, just longer on me since I'm 5'5. It comes like two inches below my knee. I'm 40D up top and it fit snug. I like the fit, just not totally happy with the thinner fabric and it will snag easy, so gotta be careful with jewelry and purses. Glad to see it made in USA. ;) I will defiantly wear my Spanx underneath to keep from showing every detail.

Proto87 stalwart and fellow Proto87 protagonist, Rene' Gourly, came down from Vancouver BC, Canada to Bellingham WA, USA for the day to help me out on my Australian prototype layout. These are the crazy things one can do when living close to the border.
We discussed several aspects of the layout, including legs, back scenes, carry cases for the layout and lighting. We also got the outstanding modules all but finished. Rene has had the good fortune of bumping into the modeling husband and wife team, Gordon and Maggie Gravett. (Some of the Gravett's wonderful layout, Pempoul, can be seen here.) Rene' suggested that I follow the Gravett approach by using the carry cases as layout 'legs'. They have to go somewhere, so I may was well put them to good use...
Anyway, a big thanks to Rene' for coming down - and for the box of Tim Bits. Legend.

Jefferson was simply brilliant — one of the Founding Fathers of the U.S., who were in a class by themselves. I've always wondered why groups of amazing inventors/artists/writers (and so on) seem to arrive at one time. Anyway, glad you could visit Monticello. One English correction, if you don't mind: You should write "What to shoot" and *Ideal time to shoot" — not "shot." "Shot" is the past tense. Okay?
Monticello – Jefferson's house
One last postcard from the United States from my last trip before starting again with some new views of Venice.
Location: This time we are in the beautiful state of Virginia, the "Mother of Presidents", and our subject is the gorgeous Monticello plantation and house. Thomas Jefferson, the third President of the United States, started building Monticello as his home. The plantation was originally used for extensive cultivation of tobacco, then shifted to a wheat plantation to respond to changing markets. The building and gardens reflect the polyhedric character of his owner, including his love for neoclassical architecture and experimentation in many scientific fields, starting from the ground, with plants and wine cultivation.
What to shoot: The building, with its Neoclassical style inspired by the architect Andrea Palladio, is a wonderful subject itself. Furthermore, you will find fabulous panoramas on the many vegetable gardens and smooth slopes around the house.
Ideal time to shoot: All day long, but consider that you can take advantage of the "Monticello Sunset Pass" and capture the scene right at the golden hour.
Gear: Wide angle lenses to standard zooms.
How to get there: Monticello is located just outside Charlottesville, Virginia, in the Piedmont region. You can reach it by car or taxi. Consider parking at the beginning of Thomas Jefferson Parkway, and enjoy a nice and smooth 2 miles stroll to the Monticello along the Saunders-Monticello Trail. You can find all the informations on the Monticello web site.

2012 Subaru Impreza: Hot Wheels
December 18, 2012
I've commented before on how much I like the simple yet sporty look of our Subaru Impreza. Its sheet metal is assertive, but not in a way that feels like it's trying too hard to impress. More quietly confident, as opposed to in-your-face aggressive. It's a brand of subtlety that I really admire, and not just in the automotive world.
Anyway, to my eyes, the car's wheels do a great job of building on this theme. They make a statement without being garish and obnoxious. Just one more thing to love about this great little car
