The proper British sports car challenges continental coupes
It's been dry in Portugal for months. The farmers have been complaining about drought conditions threatening the season's crops. But for the past week, it has been pouring rain like the Almighty Himself is offended at the southern tip of this country.
While the red dirt of Portimão gratefully soaks up the airborne bounty, this onslaught of precipitation is pooling in the corners of the nearby Autódromo Internacional do Algarve, where we have been invited to test the limits of Aston Martin's latest high-performance coupe.
Push the ignition button, and you are greeted by a snarling startup. The 503-hp 4.0-liter hot-vee turbo engine is sourced from AMG, but you'd never know it from its note. In Aston's bay, it has the sound of restrained fury rather than the aggressive anger in AMG's setup.
It's frustrating to drive 505 lb-ft of rear-drive torque on a slippery, technical track known for its brutal intolerance of early corner-exit throttle. But rain is a great equalizer of both test tracks and driver skills. It slows everything down and (as it turns out) provides a more accurate barometer of the communicative nature of Aston Martin's redesigned Vantage.
Although senior vehicle engineer manager Craig Jamieson is quick to praise the AMG powerplant, he notes that Aston Martin converted the engine to a wet-sump oil-handling setup, installed different intake and exhaust systems, and of course changed all the ones and zeros during calibration.
Taking the power to the pavement is a ZF eight-speed torque-converter automatic. The Zed Eff is pristine in high-speed corners when you need to grab a taller gear. In the fast off-camber sweeper leading onto Portimão's front straight, I asked the ZF to shift while banging at redline, and there was nary a twitch. The dynamic stability control, linked to a Graziano-sourced electronic rear differential, helps temper a quickened pulse.
Here's the thing about the Vantage: It's really forthcoming, damn near telepathic. A lot of folks buy exotics and pootle around most of the time. Then, when urged to drive hard by their mates, they overplay their hand, and the net result ends up on wreckedexotics.com. The Aston's drive modes and traction settings are always present, in the foreground, but never aggressively intrusive. You feel this reassurance in your fingertips, your feet, your buttocks. You know that feeling when your car starts to lose it and your legs get watery in micro panic? The Vantage all but banishes that sensation.
I did say "all but." I occasionally forgot how much low-end torque the Vantage has, thanks to those quick-spooling twin-turbos. The old Vantage needed a bit of high-end caning to get it properly motivated. But this is a different animal. And that ever-present torque, in the wet, means the new edition can get a bit twitchy anywhere in the rev band.
It's frustrating. You know the car is urging you to do more, is capable of more. After a couple practice laps I lay into the throttle a bit early on corner exit. The back end slips. Not in a fun, lurid slide but in a snappy way. I have the stability control set at the most conservative traction setting, which results in the car grabbing you by the scruff of the neck and saying, "Not so fast. We still have a corner to finish." Notching into Sport+ or Track mode quiets the nannies a bit, but given the saucy conditions, I decide not to test the upper limits. Carrying the next-higher gear through the corners is advisable, and with the low-end presence of the turbos, you get plenty of thrust rather than lag.
For your soundtrack, you have a choice of twin or quad muffler pipes—which aren't just two more pipes; they have different mufflers, ports, and perforations. There's no fake engine noise pumped into the cabin through stereo speakers, but according to Jamieson, certain sounds are "amplified" as engine revs reach crescendo.
The Brembo brakes are poised, especially in the soupy swale at the end of Portimão's long front straight. I'm carrying a buck fifty and climbing as I hit the brake zone, and the carbon ceramics bite confidently, with the slightest hint of swim at the back. At lower speeds, the ceramics squeak a bit, and engineers note there's still some fine-tuning to be done.
Then there's the look. First thing: There's no grille. Have no fear; there is a massive air intake mouth that carries the classic David Brown design. Then there are the LED headlamps, which, let's be honest here, are small and anonymous. Aston chief designer Marek Reichman gets a shade defensive when noting that the lamps had to be packaged that way to let the engineers push the wheels further toward the corners of the car (with a side benefit of easier repair after a low-speed shunt). It's a form-following-function concession to the engineers.
Fortunately, the rest of the Vantage is flat-out gorgeous. Note the sheetmetal shoulder crease that starts at the tip of the hood and runs the length of the body side, ending in a muscular rear haunch. That's made possible by the massive clamshell expanse of the hood, which wraps over the front wheel arch before there's a cutline. Then the side gills bleed air pressure from the front wheel arches. At the back, the ducktail trunklid combats front lift. Underneath, where no prying eyes can see, there's a sequence of Venturis, fences, splitters, and diffusers to direct airflow and reduce turbulence.
Getting down to the vehicle architecture, Aston delivers a top-notch body-in-white. The tub is all aluminum, and the exterior panels are a mix of composites, aluminum, and carbon fiber—and no steel. The outgoing VH aluminum platform was extrusion-based; this version involves deeper-draw pressings. The rear subframe is solid-mounted. "We traded refinement and NVH for responsiveness," Jamieson notes. Ah, British understatement.
Then there's the paint: While maintaining its traditionally muted color palette, Aston Martin is aiming younger with some outrageous optional hues. It refers to its radioactive-chartreuse paint as "Lime Essence," but you color-theory geeks can refer to it as Pantone 13-0650 TPX Sulphur Spring.
Inside, the layout might seem a bit retro in this world of scroll wheels and touch screens. A lot of buttons are haphazardly placed in the center console, but it proves the Brits have a wry sense of humor: The SOS button is directly above the button to defeat traction control. Also, my co-driver accidentally pressed reverse when he meant the adjacent park button; in considering the Vantage's interior ergonomics, it wasn't a dumb mistake. Hmmm.
The seats on all the test cars were tightly bolstered Alcantara, which essentially adheres occupants in place. (There were no opportunities to experience the Strathmore, Caithness, or Balmoral leather seats.) There's plenty of headroom for a 6-foot-1 driver. The windowsills are high, so you can forget resting your left elbow up there. Exiting is a cinch, thanks to swan-wing doors that easily clear the most impudent curbs.
As for sightlines, a narrow greenhouse, sharply raked windshield, and stern A-pillars combine for a massive blind spot looking through left-hand corners. For underhood packaging reasons, the wipers sweep from inside-out rather than right to left.
Aston Martin calls the Vantage "a sports car, not a supercar." With its 0–60 of 3.5 seconds and a 195-mph (314-km/h) top speed, that line is getting pretty blurry. But the Vantage's usability factor is strong, from the multiple USB ports to the Mercedes-based infotainment system (which annoyingly still turns off navigation if you mute audio). The door handles, shift paddles, scroll wheels, and dial rings are brushed aluminum. The ignition and gear-selector buttons are glass. The hatch area can swallow two golf bags. Alas, there's no glove box, and the piano black climate vent surrounds and slats feel plasticky.
For the road test outside Portimão, we are given Vantages with cast-iron brakes, which are reassuring and smooth to modulate in the wet. Interestingly, Aston went with 20-inch wheels shod with Pirelli P Zeros (255/40R20 in front, 295/35R20 in back) instead of Corsas. As we ease around sheer drop-offs with no guardrails, we bless them their decision.
The suspension—up front an upper A-arm and L-shaped lower control arm with caster control and bushings, in back a multilink setup—is pretty damn stiff. It's great on the track, but even in the most road-going setting, vertical insults are transmitted rather abruptly into the cabin. There's no magic carpet "rough road" button like in the Ferrari 488.
Similarly harsh are the abrupt manual downshifts, which are reassuring on a racetrack but aren't as welcome when driving at a more leisurely pace. It's easier to just pop it in drive for comfort.
Aston Martin has priced the Vantage just above $150,000 USD. That's a bit more than a comparable Porsche 911 GTS, which starts at $121,750 USD and gets you a back seat. And it's a hedge fund rounding error with the Mercedes-AMG GT C coupe (which shares the same engine, remember) at $145,995 USD. Which raises the question: Is the Vantage a better car than the AMG? Does it have the daily driver chops of the Porsche? Or is it merely competitive? Stay tuned for our Best Driver's Car competition to find out.
Aston Martin's first shot at this segment was hamstrung by coincidentally awful timing. After a couple years of encouraging sales, the first-generation V8 Vantage was swept up in 2009's global recession. Then owned by Ford, the automaker had grand growth aspirations with the Vantage, whereupon the economy stuck a Fairbairn-Sykes right in its back. Fast-forward to 2018, with the world well into another boom cycle, and now-privately held Aston Martin again seeks to expand. Hopefully, this time around the Vantage gives the storied British brand a proper crack at greatness.

During the holiday season, I tend to stretch myself thin with baking experiments and recipes for entertaining. This is a festive time of year, and I love it when the celebratory quality of the season seeps into cooking. Still, it's nice to get back to basics, even as we're all making merry. This festive kale salad with cranberries, lentil, and coconut bacon is in many ways the best of both worlds: colorful and undoubtedly festive, yet simple and unfussy. You can bring it to a holiday potluck, or you can can curl up with a bowl of it for lunch. Either way, it's all good.
This is the first kale salad I've made with cranberries, which is kind of amazing, given how many kale salads I've posted since I started this blog! I love the sweetness they bring to the dish, and I love how they contrast with the smoky, salty coconut bacon. Throwing coconut bacon in here was a sort of last moment decision–I'd made a batch to put on lentil soup, and I figured why not?–but I love how it enhances the flavor of the salad. After many years of seeing kale salad recipes online that featured bacon, and wondering if they'd be equally tasty if I modified them to omit it, I've found a solution.
Quick tip on this salad: when I make kale salads that have a lot of additional ingredients, I tend to dress and massage the greens first, then add my additional ingredients. The "massaging" process can get sort of messy if you're trying to do it with dried fruit and legumes already mixed into your greens, and the greens tend to get more thoroughly coated and softened if you dress them first. Once they're ready, toss in the additional ingredients, and you're good to go.
I love all of the texture here: chewy cranberries, soft lentils, crispy greens, crunchy coconut bacon. When you first dress the greens, you may feel as though the dressing is on the light side. Don't worry: the coconut bacon and cranberries will add all of the additional flavor that the salad needs, and the apple cider vinegar in the dressing gives it a nice kick as well.
Festive Kale Salad with Cranberries, Lentils, and Coconut Bacon
- 1 medium head curly kale stems removed, washed, dried, and chopped (about 7-8 ounces after preparation)
- 1/2 cup dried cranberries
- 1 1/2 cups cooked lentils or 1 can cooked lentils, rinsed and drained
- 1 cup coconut bacon
- 2 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 1/2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Black pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons chopped shallots
- Whisk together the olive oil, maple syrup, salt, pepper, and shallots. Set them aside.
- Place the kale in a large mixing bowl. Toss the dressing over it and massage thoroughly with your hands, until all of the leaves are coated with the dressing. Add the cranberries, lentils, and coconut bacon, and toss everything to combine. Pile the salad into serving bowls, and serve.
Yum. This salad feeds a crowd nicely. Try pairing it with a wintery soup–like my roasted rutabaga and parsnip soup with kale, or my African spiced yellow split pea and sweet potato soup–or simply enjoy a big plate of it for an easy midday meal.
Don't feel like making the coconut bacon? No problem. You could add roasted, salted nuts or seeds instead for some crunch. Or, if you want the bacon-y flavor but you're not a coconut fan, my eggplant bacon is a great substitute, as would be my mushroom jerky (which I recently shared on Food52!).
I hope you love the salad. And don't forget to tune in tomorrow, because I'm offering a giveaway of a chic, environmentally-friendly, and beautiful vegan clutch/handbag–a perfect holiday gift (or gift to yourself). Can't wait to share!

1. Only Female Mosquitoes Bite. Both Male and Female Mosquitoes feed primarily on fruit or plant nectar, but the Female Mosquito needs the protein from blood to help her eggs develop. Once the Female Mosquito has found enough blood, she will rest for a day or two before beginning to lay her eggs.
2. Mosquito is Spanish for "Little Fly". The term "Mosquito" originated in the 16th Century. In Africa, New Zealand, and Australia, Mosquitoes are commonly referred to as "Mozzies".
3. A Female Mosquito Can Drink Up to 3 Times its Weight in Blood. No need to panic here! It would take 1.2 million bites to drain the body of blood from Mosquito bites!
4. Mosquitoes Do Not Have Teeth. Even though Mosquitoes tend to "bite", they actually aren't biting at all. Mosquitoes actually use a long, pointed mouth part called a proboscis. They use the serrated proboscis to pierce the skin and locate a capillary. At that point, they draw blood through one of two tubes.
5. Female Mosquitoes Can Lay Up to 300 Eggs at One Time. Usually, the eggs are deposited in clusters, which are also know as "Rafts", on the surface of stagnant water. They are also laid in areas that flood regularly. Eggs can hatch in as little as an inch of standing water. Females will lay eggs up to three times before the end of their life cycle.
6. Mosquitoes Spend Their First 10 Days in Water. Water is necessary for the eggs to hatch into larvae. Larvae will feed on the organic matter in stagnant water and breathe oxygen from the surface. They then develop into pupae, which do not feed and are partially encased in cocoons. Over several days, the pupae change into adult mosquitoes.
7. Mosquitoes DO Hibernate. Mosquitoes are cold-blooded, and prefer temperatures over 80 degrees. At temperatures less than 50 degrees, they tend to "shut down" for the winter. The adult females of some species find holes where they wait for warmer weather, while others lay their eggs in freezing water and die. The eggs will keep until the temperatures rise, and they can hatch once the warmer weather returns.
8. Male Mosquitoes Locate Female Mosquitoes by the Sounds of Their Wings. Females can beat their wings up to 500 times per second! The males then pick out the higher frequency of those beats when seeking a mate.
9. Mosquitoes Can Smell Human Breath. Mosquitoes have receptors on their antennae that detect the carbon dioxide released when we exhale. Those plumes of CO2 rise into the air, acting as trails that the mosquitoes follow to find the source.
10. The Bumps Left From Mosquito Bites are Caused by Saliva. While one tube in the proboscis draws blood, a second pumps in saliva containing a mild painkiller and an anti-coagulant. Most people will have a minor allergic reaction to the saliva, causing the area around the bite to swell and itch.

I help you help those you serve
Spiritual growth means growing to be like Jesus Christ. Whether you are a new Christian, or you've been walking with the Lord for many years, you'll know there is a lot to learn. Wherever you are in your spiritual growth, I want to help you. In the more than twenty years I've been a Christian, I have grown a lot, though I still have a lot to learn. I want to pass on what I've learned to you so that you live a life pleasing to the Lord, and that is fulfilling to you.
One of the fascinating discoveries I've made is that pleasing and glorifying the Lord and living a joy-filled life are the same thing. When our spiritual life or life generally isn't satisfying, there is something wrong. When we don't care about whether we please the Lord, there is something wrong. A well-lived life achieves both goals.
If there is a specific way I can help you in your spiritual growth, I'd love to hear about it! Leave a message or drop me a question to answer!
My background and education
I grew up in a small rural New Zealand town. The Lord graciously opened my eyes to see the supremacy of Christ and granted me repentance when I was 17. A few years later I married my wonderful wife and began a career in information technology. Throughout my career, I enjoyed a wide variety of roles at large and small companies. A number of years ago the Lord opened the opportunity for theological training in the United States.
Having completed a bachelors degree in Biblical Counseling and a Master of Divinity, I returned to New Zealand in 2015, and joined a small Bible College, where I began work on my PhD through the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. I graduated with my doctorate in biblical counseling with a minor in biblical spirituality in May, 2019.
Why this site?
This site has gone through several phases. For a while I blogged here on the subject of spiritual growth, but now it serves as a base for me to connect with you.
If you'd like to support my ministry in New Zealand there are several ways you can do this.
- Share any of my articles that might be helpful to others
- Get my free Roadmap to Mastery of the Greek New Testament
- Purchase a copy of the Student Edition of Master New Testament Greek
- Donate through this site
If you would like to support me in a way other than those described above, contact me directly.
Thank you for your support and help!

IDW Explores Alternate Timelines In 'Deviations'!
The Five-Week Event Arrives In March
In a world where the Ghostbusters never crossed streams to save New York… In a world where Shredder was the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' sensei… In a world where all your expectations are turned upside down—welcome to the world of Deviations, a weekly event series featuring alternate takes on some of IDW's most popular books!
Starting with the Ghostbusters, readers will be taken to alternate realities of some of the most iconic heroes in comics with weekly one-shots that each highlight a different series. G.I. JOE will follow in the second week, exploring what would happen if COBRA finally won. The TRANSFORMERS comes next, looking at what the implications would be if OPTIMUS PRIME never died! Then, in X-Files Deviations, having been abducted by aliens, Fox Mulder never returned… and finally, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles one-shot will round out the event.
"When one moment changes," said Chris Ryall, IDW Editor in Chief, "whole universes alter forever. We're asking the questions fans have been pondering for years—and now we'll see some answers."
Both new and familiar faces will make their mark on this warped series as newcomers to the titles join fan-favorite creators!
In Ghostbusters Deviations,
Kelly Thompson(Jem and the Holograms) teams up with artist Nelson Daniel (Judge Dredd).
Paul Allor returns to G.I. Joe, with artwork by Corey Lewis(Sharknife).
TRANSFORMERS Deviations welcomes Brandon Easton (Andre the Giant: Closer to Heaven) alongside Transformers: Robots in Disguise artist Priscilla Tramontano.
Amy Chu (Sensation Comics: Wonder Woman) explores The X-Files alongside Elena Casagrande (Doctor Who) and Silvia Califano (The X-Files: Season 10) on art.
Finally Tom Waltz (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) leads Zach Howard (Wild Blue Yonder) into the sewers for the TMNT Deviations.
Look for all five Deviations in your comic shop and online every week in March!

Without giving too much away, what exactly is Deviations?
Deviations is, basically, a look at some of the bigger properties we publish, all of which have had many big, notable moments in their history, where we explore a divergent path in those storylines.
What led to you wanting to do this type of event?
All of the titles that make up this 5-week event have featured stories that have led to fun fan debates over what might have happened if a big event had gone another way, whether in past comics, TV series, or movies. So this is taking a big, fan-favorite moment and spinning that story in another direction to explore what could've been.
What series will be involved?
The series, and the catalyst for the stories, are:
Ghostbusters: "In a world… where the Ghostbusters NEVER crossed streams!"
G.I. JOE: "In a world… where COBRA turns the table on G.I. JOE."
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: "In a world… where Shredder leads the Turtles."
Transformers: "In a world… where Optimus Prime never died!"
The X-Files: "In a world… where young Fox Mulder was abducted by aliens!"
What's your favorite "What If…" comic?
I was always a big fan of Frank Miller's take on "What If Elektra Had Lived?" from the original series. In most of those old comics, the "what-if" story always ended far worse for the characters than in the regular series. Whether that was just to do big, explosive things in those comics or to assure readers things like "See? It's much better that Phoenix DID die," they usually all ended very badly. Miller's Elektra tale, not so much—he took things in another direction entirely, and handled it all in unique fashion. Which is the goal here—anyone can play "what if?" games with stories but we're really striving for these comics to do surprising, unexpected things. And who knows, if they go over well enough, maybe they could lead to entirely new series of this divergent timeline.

Hasbro's Investor Day presentation was yesterday.
Some things of note:
Slide 20 (see first image below) has TF5 teaser logo (nothing exciting), and some new product called "Alt Modes" - looks like keychains or something but it's a very small image.
Slide 23 (see second image below) has the TF brand revenue (revenue to Hasbro, not retail sales to consumers! HUGE difference!) chart that we've seen in previous years updated to include the 9 months out of this year so far. Pretty good start for them.
Slide 34 talks about expanding footprint into more global markets.
Some new Kre-o product on Slide 37, but it does not look to be Transformers related. Read elsewhere it is a Chinese market exclusive line.
Slide 38 (see third image below): appears to announce Micronauts return - as a crossover with Transformers. Kind of cool considering Micronauts' roots as Microman.
I enjoyed the financial slides. Interesting bit on 61 about slightly increasing resin costs expected for 2016.
Slide 65 mentions a new e-commerce site. Direct to consumer sales or just B2B?
Poor GI Joe. Also no sign of M.A.S.K. which was on the last (I think last, maybe the one before last) Investor presentation.

I've been waiting for this question to come along so I can answer - Yes, we were not given the green light to continue the comic past six issues. I'm turning in the script for #6 tomorrow and it will be the last issue in the regular series.
There are a lot of factors that went into this:
1. Almost all comics are pitched in short sets even if they are solicited as ongoing.
2. Comics are sold to retailers, not fans.
3. It was not digital-first.
All of that said, the reviews were good and the fan response couldn't have made me happier. Priscilla did a brilliant job and made everything easy. Hasbro LOVED this book and it's possible more of it could come out in the future but I can't give out any details! Thank you all so much for posting about the comic, sending me questions and letting me get to know you.

2. Why is Bradley desperate to get back the Hagakure in a week's time?
Bradley needs to have the Hagakure back in a week because that is when he is receiving the Pacific Men's Club honor naming him Man of the Month. He wants the Hagakure to be on display in his newest hotel which has just opened in Little Tokyo.

LF Signal Generator DIL-Module with Spectral Input
Status: Proposal
January 12, 2015
Some years/decades ago, there were nice chips to generate analogue signals (sine, triangle, rectangle) which could form the base of LF-function generators and audio test equipment. Nowadays there are relatively cheap, powerful and well-equipped microcontrollers (ARM Cortex and so on), so why shouldn't we build our own flexible signal generator module? Put the micro and the needed circuitry around it on a tiny-sized breakout board with DIL-pinout (e.g 2x6) and you have a nice, flexible and easy-to-solder module for your projects. Of course, the module should come with our preprogrammed firmware for LF signal generation but of course everybody could reprogram the micro on the module him/herself to realize other functions too. I would like to suggest the following specs for our LF-signal generator module: * 1 LF-output (DAC) * LF-frequency range 0..50 kHz * Free waveform generation, waveform will be stored in a table with 4096 sample points * 3 analogue inputs, to control amplitude, frequency and offset by an analogue voltage 0...2,5 V * Digital parameter input over SPI * SPI waveform input, send the waveform data to the controller (waveform must be calculated by host microcontoller) * SPI spectral input, Send the spectrum to the signal generator (nice for audio synthesizers) * solder pins to be equipped with 50-mil-pinheader for reprogramming * module must be cheaper than 15 Euro Applications: * LF stand alone signal generator (for audio measurement and test and so on) * mobile and compact test device for general applications (handheld) * in-built test and calibration function for bigger devices * audio synthesizer (take 3 or more of these modules :-) ) Variety of solutions: We could realize this project with different microcontrollers/DSPs and software, just use one and the same pinout for our module, for instance 2x6: 3,3 V ---- GND AN IN1 ---- AN IN2 AN IN3 ---- AN OUT SCK ---- DIG OUT ("READY") MOSI ---- MISO GPIO ---- GPIO (for test and debugging) A could even start a contest, and the module with the best specs and/or the cheapest one wins.

High walls so the fishies can´t jump out and future rain won´t overflow the pond. Sooo much work! Very well done, guys.
You may want to update this build where you show how to get some oxygen into this water. Would be nice.
Thank you for sharing 🙂
The plants 🌱 in the water
@Setesh: lol @61747 and Livelife: I am not so sure that those plants will generate enough… but if you say so, I believe you (IF you two are wrong… I MAY have to eat you :P)
Why doesn't the pond overflow when raining?
frankohero lol 😝 we shall see. I wonder though: What about water level? How is that maintained?
frankohero there already is oxygen in the water
Hardworking. Nice job 👍👏

Hey It's Jacob Every million views it's around $10-$15k so they'd be getting easily a few mil
XBL CORPS true
Carter Williams nah, very variable, especially for their type of content. More like 1,5-3k per milli which is still more than 3/4 of the US' average yearly salary lol
1mil views is equivalent to about 2000-3000 US dollars
XBL CORPS I know right
10:35: Wow…that fish is as long as his arm & he's carrying it with pure ease. They truly did a fantastic job.
K' Ripton: Looking at it's size & the way it was squirming around on the ground… you'd think it would've been easier to put it in the basket & carry it.
Mz. Phatbaldkat I've seen you on kevonstage's channel.
Angel M.: Hi🙋
are you blind?
only reason they were struggling to hold it is because the fish is slimy and in combination with the squirming it was difficult to pick it up. Other than that, the fish isnt heavy at all.
Salute for Hardwork 😵

In the midst of my 'round the clock-sewathon, I was able to attend a couple of shows last weekend at Bryant Park. This was my first time attending a show there and being able to watch in the audience. I have seen very few fashion shows live as an audience member. It was thrilling and beyond inspirational to watch one in the tents. It made me want to become a fashion designer all over again!
The most impressive show that I saw was the Academy of Art (SF). Not only did they have top-notch models (Anja, Chanel Iman), the designs themselves were very interesting and well-executed. It was a great show, and made me long badly for a tent show myself in the future.
Next time I will at least have a runway show instead of a presentation. Seeing the clothes move is mesmerizing.
Now, back to sewing my heart out!

Day 621: Tired of winning.
1/ Trump inherited his family's wealth through fraud and questionable tax schemes, receiving the equivalent today of at least $413 million from his father's real estate empire. Trump has repeatedly claimed that "I built what I build myself." Trump and his siblings used fake corporations to hide financial gifts from his parents, which helped his father claim millions in tax deductions. Trump also helped his parents undervalue their real estate holdings by hundreds of millions of dollars when filing their tax returns. In total, Fred and Mary Trump transferred more than a $1 billion in wealth to their children and paid a total of $52.2 million in taxes (about 5%) instead of the $550+ million they should have owed under the 55% tax rate imposed on gifts and inheritances. Trump also "earned" $200,000 a year in today's dollars starting at age 3 from his father's companies. After college, Trump started receiving the equivalent of $1 million a year, which increased to $5 million a year when he was in his 40s and 50s. Trump has refused to release his income tax returns, breaking with decades of practice by past presidents. There is no time limit on civil fines for tax fraud. [Editor's note: This is a must read. An abstract summary does not suffice.] (New York Times)
11 takeaways from the investigation into Trump's wealth. (New York Times)
A federal judge ruled that a group of nearly 200 Democratic senators and representatives have the legal standing to sue Trump to prove he violated the U.S. Constitution's emoluments clause by doing business with foreign governments while in office. (Washington Post / USA Today)
2/ The New York State Tax officials are investigating the allegations that Trump and his family committed "instances of outright fraud" in order to transfer millions of dollars. "The Tax Department is reviewing the allegations in the NYT article and is vigorously pursuing all appropriate avenues of investigation," a spokesman from New York State Department of Taxation and Finance said. (CNBC)
3/ Paul Manafort met with Robert Mueller's office as part of his cooperation agreement. Following his guilty plea last month to conspiracy against the U.S. and conspiring to obstruct justice, Manafort is required to cooperate "fully, truthfully, completely, and forthrightly … in any and all matters as to which the government deems the cooperation relevant." (Politico)
4/ The intermediary between Roger Stone and WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange told Senate Intelligence Committee that he will plead the Fifth Amendment in response to its subpoena for testimony and documents. Randy Credico spent more than two hours last month testifying before Robert Mueller's grand jury about stolen Democratic emails. Stone, a longtime Trump adviser, said Credico was his intermediary to Assange and WikiLeaks. (Politico)
5/ Trump directed an effort to prevent Stormy Daniels from publishing a description of her alleged sexual encounter with him. In February, Trump instructed his then-lawyer Michael Cohen to seek a restraining order against Daniels through a confidential arbitration proceeding and to coordinate the legal response with his son, Eric Trump. Direct involvement by Trump and his son suggests that Trump's ties to his company continued into 2018, contradicting public statements made at the time by the Trump Organization, the White House, and Michael Cohen. (Wall Street Journal)
6/ The Trump administration is denying visas to the unmarried same-sex partners of foreign diplomats and foreign staff working at the United Nations, making marriage a requirement for foreign couples to remain in the U.S. together. Diplomats with same-sex partners will have until the end of December to get married, or their partners will be sent home in January. Couples could be exposed to prosecution if they return to a country that criminalizes homosexuality or same-sex marriages. 12% of U.N. members states allow same-sex marriage. (Foreign Policy / USA Today / CNN / HuffPost)
poll/ 49% of voters support the Democratic candidate in their local race for the U.S. House of Representatives while 42% support the Republican candidate. Overall, 50% of voters want Democrats to control the U.S. Senate. 53% of Americans disapprove of the job Trump is doing. (Quinnipiac)
poll/ In the South, 48% of voters support the Republican congressional candidate over the Democratic candidate. 43% support the Democratic candidate. 52% of Southern voters approve the job Trump is doing, compared with 49% who disapprove. (NBC News)
bonus/ Trump: "THE ONLY REASON TO VOTE FOR A DEMOCRAT IS IF YOU'RE TIRED OF WINNING!" Trump issued the all-caps message shortly before departing for an event in Philadelphia. (The Hill)
THE ONLY REASON TO VOTE FOR A DEMOCRAT IS IF YOU'RE TIRED OF WINNING!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 2, 2018
✏ Notables.
The White House corrected the official transcript from Trump's press conference in the Rose Garden to include his insult of a female reporter. The transcript initially showed Trump telling Cecilia Vega that she wasn't "thanking" him for calling on her. In reality, Trump told Vega that she was "not thinking. You never do." (Politico / CNN)
The EPA proposed relaxing radiation exposure guidelines, saying it could have a "positive effect on human health." (Associated Press)
The Department of Homeland Security couldn't track separated families because a central database never existed., according to a report by the department's Office of Inspector General. Instead, "a manually-compiled spreadsheet" was maintained by Health and Human Services, Customs and Border Protection, and ICE personnel where they sent information about migrant children in emails as Microsoft Word attachments. (New York Times)
The Pentagon received two pieces of mail that tested positive for ricin, a highly toxic compound that causes nausea, vomiting and internal bleeding of the stomach and intestines, followed by failure of the liver, spleen and kidneys, and death by collapse of the circulatory system. The two envelopes were addressed to Secretary of Defense James Mattis and to the Chief of Naval Operations, Admiral John Richardson. All mail delivered to the Pentagon was put into quarantine. (CNN)
The U.S. accused Russia of developing a banned cruise missile system that could allow Russia to launch a nuclear strike capable of hitting Europe or Alaska. The U.S. ambassador to NATO said Washington is committed to a diplomatic solution but would consider a military strike if Russian continues development of the medium-range system. (Reuters)
👨⚖ Dept. of Kavanaugh.
Christine Blasey Ford's attorneys demanded that the FBI interview her and act on investigative leads they have provided for the inquiry into allegations against Brett Kavanaugh. The FBI has not returned calls from Ford's lawyers and she's not included in its current list of potential witnesses to interview. "It is inconceivable that the FBI could conduct a thorough investigation of Dr. Ford's allegations without interviewing her, Judge Kavanaugh, or the witnesses we have identified in our letters to you," attorneys Debra Katz and Michael Bromwich wrote to FBI officials. (NBC News / Politico)
Mitch McConnell: "We'll be voting this week." The Senate Majority Leader said "the time for endless delay and obstruction has come to a close." The FBI's investigation could be wrapped up as soon as Wednesday. (The Hill) / Wall Street Journal)
Text messages between Brett Kavanaugh and a former classmate at Yale shows Kavanaugh and his team were working behind the scenes to refute Deborah Ramirez's allegations against him before they were made public. Kerry Berchem tried to get the text messages to the FBI so they can be reviewed as part of the new investigation, but has yet to be contacted by the FBI. The texts suggest that Kavanaugh was personally communicating with former classmates about the allegations before they were made public in a New Yorker article. (NBC News)
Julie Swetnick, speaking publicly for the first time, said she was raped at a party that Kavanaugh and Mark Judge attended, but "cannot specifically say that he was one of the ones who assaulted me." Swetnick said Kavanaugh "was very aggressive — very sloppy drunk, very mean drunk. I saw him — go up to girls and paw on them, try to, you know, get a little too handsy, touching them in private parts. I saw him try to shift clothing." (NBC News)
Republican Sen. Susan Collins called on the FBI to investigate Julie Swetnick's allegations against Kavanaugh as part of its probe. "Senator Collins was encouraged by the president's statements that he would give the FBI agents the latitude they need to do their work," said a spokesperson for Sen. Collins. "It makes sense to start with the four named witnesses from the hearing and then the FBI can follow any leads that it believes need to be pursued, as Senators Flake, Murkowski, and Collins indicated at the time this agreement was made." (Portland Press Herald)
As an undergraduate at Yale in 1985, Kavanaugh was involved in an altercation at a local bar and was accused of throwing ice at another patron. The incident led the New Haven Police Department to question Kavanaugh and four other men. Kavanaugh was not arrested in connection with the incident. (New York Times)
Two ethics complaints have been filed against Kavanaugh in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit Court on which he sits. One complaint charges that Kavanaugh's attacks on his accusers in written testimony submitted to the Senate Judiciary Committee on Sept. 26 "demonstrate his lack of fitness to be a judge." The other complaint involves allegations made by Kavanaugh during his initial confirmation hearing. The complaints are being administered by Merrick Garland. (Law and Crime)
Trump lamented that it's a "scary time for young men in America" while he was defended Kavanaugh. Trump told reporters that "it's a very scary situation where you're guilty until proven innocent." (The Hill / ABC News)

As the police in Norway and abroad continued to search for potential accomplices, expressions of outrage over the deaths crossed the political spectrum. Members of far-right parties in
Lurking in the background is the calculation on all sides that such tragedies can drive shifts in public opinion. Nonviolent political parties can hardly be blamed for the violent actions of a terrorist or a homicidal person. But politicians have begun to question inflammatory speech in the debate over immigrants, which has helped fuel the rise of right-leaning politicians across Europe in recent years.
The head of the Social Democratic Party in
"The center of society has to make clear that there is no room for this with us, even for sanitized versions," Mr. Gabriel said. "There is a deep feeling in society that the pendulum has swung too far toward individualism."Continue reading the main story
It is too soon to tell what the political fallout from the attacks will be. The left in Europe is out of power in major countries, including
"The biggest challenge is the opportunism of the center, and I think this will change now," said
The political fallout will be unpredictable in part because Europe is still so varied in its political landscape, with each country's different history and culture. Norway, for instance, is not a member of the
That may make it harder for a left-leaning politician to seize the initiative against conservatives the way that President
Pascal Perrineau, a professor at the Institut d'Études Politiques de Paris, where he directs the Center for Political Research, said that French parties were being "extremely cautious" in their approach to the tragedy out of fear of looking as if they were exploiting it. According to Mr. Perrineau, it was unlikely to shift the larger balance of power between right and left in France, but would make it more difficult for the far-right National Front and its leader, Marine Le Pen, in elections.
Mr. Breivik's 1,500-page manifesto, while full of calls for violence, also includes some passages that echo the concerns of mainstream political leaders about preserving national identity and values.
"So much of what he wrote could have been said by any right-wing politician," said Daniel Cohn-Bendit, co-president of the Green bloc in the
The clearest evidence of a change in tone at this early stage may be the way anti-immigrant parties try to rein in their members. A member of the National Front, Jacques Coutela, was suspended for calling Mr. Breivik "an icon" on his blog. He replaced it with a note saying that he denounced Mr. Breivik's actions.
Erik Hellsborn, a local politician for the nationalist Sweden Democrats in the southern town of Varberg, wrote on his blog that "in a Norwegian Norway this tragedy would never have happened," according to the local daily Hallands Nyheter. Jimmie Akesson, leader of the Sweden Democrats, distanced himself from Mr. Hellsborn's sentiments in comments to the Swedish daily Svenska Dagbladet on Wednesday, saying, "You can't blame the actions of individuals on social structures like this."
And Mario Borghezio, a member of the European Parliament from Italy with the anti-immigration Northern League, said on a radio talk show on Monday that some of Mr. Breivik's positions regarding the Islamic threat to Europe "could certainly be agreed with." He called the Oslo killings "the fault of a multiracial society," the kind of society he called "disgusting."
Italy's foreign minister, Franco Frattini, a member of
Other far-right groups have sought to distance themselves from Mr. Breivik and his actions, and violent acts in general. After reports that Mr. Breivik was in touch with Britain's far-right English Defence League, the group issued a statement this week saying it could "categorically state that there has never been any official contact between him and the E.D.L."
Europol, the European Union's police agency, created a task force to investigate threats in Scandinavia and links to extremist groups across Europe. Some officials worry that Mr. Breivik might be part of a fledgling though loosely organized network of like-minded extremists.
In the southern German state of Baden-Württemberg on Wednesday, police officers raided 21 homes as part of an investigation of a right-wing extremist group. The police said the action was not connected to the events in Oslo, but pressure to keep watch over extremists is now a constant theme.
At the same time, debates have begun over how to crack down on radical extremists, including stepped-up monitoring of online chat groups. Andrea Nahles, a leading member of Germany's Social Democrats, renewed the party's call for banning the far-right National Democratic Party.
But experts say banning political parties can have the opposite of the intended effect, driving individuals further from mainstream dialogue and encouraging the kind of rejectionist philosophy that leads to violence.
And shutting down communications by extremists online seems nearly impossible, according to Peter Molnar, an expert on free-speech law and one of the founders of the Center for Media and Communication Studies at Central European University in

We report the first, to the best of our knowledge, experimental implementation of a spinning-disk configuration for high-speed compressive image acquisition. A single rotating mask (i.e., the spinning disk) with random binary patterns was utilized to spatially modulate a collimated terahertz (THz) or IR beam. After propagating through the sample, the THz or IR beam was measured using a single detector, and THz and IR images were subsequently reconstructed using compressive sensing. We demonstrate that a 32-by-32 pixel image could be obtained from 160 to 240 measurements in both the IR and THz ranges. This spinning-disk configuration allows the use of an electric motor to rotate the spinning disk, thus enabling the experiment to be performed automatically and continuously. This, together with its compact design and computational efficiency, makes it promising for real-time imaging applications.

There's the high strung, tempermental ballerina (Greta Garbo), the sassy vamp-like stenographer (Joan Crawford), the boorish industrialist (Wallace Beery), the stricken labourer (Lionel Barrymore)and the devilishly handsome baron (John Barrymore). These seemingly separate lives cross over – some happily so, others with tragic circumstances – all thoroughly absorbing and brilliantly performed.

The life of Chief M.K.O Abiola was exemplary. He was a true Nigerian success story and an inspiration to many at home and abroad. His ability to connect with people of diverse backgrounds was perhaps his greatest strength and this worked to his advantage in many ways. Even now, in death, his uniting touch is still being felt by Nigerians, most recently in light of the momentous declaration by President Muhammadu Buhari. The sad note that sullied Abiola's list of achievements may have finally been redressed by the declaration of June 12, the day Abiola won and lost his presidential mandate, as the new public holiday to celebrate democracy day in Nigeria.
While the development is welcome all over the country and seen as a crown on the efforts of the Abiola family to gain official recognition of M.K.O Abiola's victory at the polls many years ago, the political angle to the declaration is laced with suspicion of ulterior motives by the Buhari administration. All possible implications of the declaration are important at this time in the country, if for no other reason than to understand the thinking and motives of an important player in the next elections, for good or bad, and the possible consequences.
Many will be quick to claim the declaration as a victory for all Yorubas. Indeed, the reactions from some top Yoruba personalities already show this leaning. Interestingly, Afenifere, the pan-Yoruba socio-political group, while accepting the declaration, was cautious in its celebration by calling the president's motives to question. Many other groups believe there are no other aspects to the declaration than the political motive of winning southwest votes. The mixed reactions are an accurate portrayal of the volatile mood of the country in this election season, and the president's timing with the declaration adds in no small way to the suspicions of his motives from many quarters.
In any case, whichever way one leans on the issue of the declaration, the deed has been done and it is a wholly positive outcome. It is however not a Yoruba or southwest victory, but a victory for Nigerian freedom and democracy. The pain of the annulment of the June 12 elections was felt country wide, not just on the day but for many years under the harsh rule of General Sani Abacha. The people's access to liberty and an open society was truncated for reasons that most Nigerians will never understand.
Overtime, the scar of June 12 outgrew mere anger and accusations against the government of the day on June 12, 1993, as it metamorphosed into a yearning for free and fair elections and the true right of the people to choose their leaders. Some will say that the date became bigger than the man Abiola himself. This is why the declaration of June 12 as democracy day is appropriate, as the date has come to represent the continuous struggle for people's right at the polls, and its symbolism is now, at least, assured in the annals of Nigerian politics.
While the symbolism of June 12 has rightly been acknowledged, it is very unlikely that there is no political angle to the declaration. Like many have said before, everything a politician does is political. The camp of people that are of the opinion that there may be possible political benefits of the declaration in the southwest zone may not be far from the truth. In-fighting in the All Progressives Congress, APC creates the impression that the president cannot rely squarely on the strength of the party to ensure victory next year. The question is, if the June 12 declaration is a gesture to pacify the Southwest as some say, what then is/will be the northern or southeastern pacification plan? Surely the president must be aiming to collect votes in every region. If one were to believe this theory of pure political motive, then there is yet more intrigue in the horizon.
Also likely, on the political spectrum, is the retaliation angle. General Ibrahim Babangida and former president, Olusegun Obasanjo have come out publicly to speak against the Buhari administration and any second term ambitions of the president. Their public criticism resonated with people in all parts of the country and the present administration scrambled to address their remarks, especially the not so subtle condemnation by Obasanjo. The embarrassment suffered from the perceived betrayal of members of the 'caucus of generals' may have warranted repercussions that may already be in the works. The declaration of June 12 as the new democracy day casts a bad light on both men in many ways.
For Babangida, the declaration is a condemnation of his government's decision in 1993, with the consequential stigma of being labeled an anti-democracy icon. For Obasanjo, his pedigree in southwest politics has been dealt a great blow after failing to honour Abiola in his two terms as president. The two past leaders have now been essentially branded enemies of democracy. In Obasanjo's case also, some see it as a personal blow. Obasanjo has always been suspected of nursing enmity towards Abiola, his tribesman and former schoolmate.
Obasanjo was deputy editor while Abiola was editor of "The Trumpeter" the school magazine of Baptist Boys High School, Abeokuta, where they both attended. Their kinship did not stop the rumours that Obasanjo was never in support of Abiola during his lifetime and even worked to suppress any state recognition of his struggles after his death. The narcissist Obasanjo carries on like one who is only content in the centre of all things and cannot bear to be second favourite in anything, which may have been his issue with the better loved Abiola.
The late Abiola was a champion of the people who deployed his means liberally in promoting worthy causes and contributing to the lives of others. Although he was a muslim, he contributed to the building of churches and mosques across Nigeria and was accepted by all Nigerians. Abiola held chieftaincy titles in 68 communities across the country. He was equally accepted abroad, receiving international recognition during his lifetime and after his death. Like Gani Fawehinmi, fellow posthumous honoree, he was a crusader for freedom and rights of people, and he gave his life to stand for these ideals when he could have taken the coward's way out.
It is immensely satisfying that Abiola's status in the democratic history of the country is now being recognized and Nigerians should not let any other issues connected with the declaration dilute the importance and symbolism of this long over-due recognition. Oftentimes in life, victory is achieved when it is most unexpected and the victory for democracy and freedom that June 12 symbolises can never be extinguished. Although it has come at a time when the security forces and government agencies serve with an unusually heavy hand, the current situation merely strengthens the ideals that June 12 represents and underscores the need for the people's will to shine forth in the midst of oppression.
Slowly, the country is moving in the right direction. The forces of change have been diverse and sometimes unexpected, but the important thing is that negative forces are canceling out each other, to the benefit of the people. When justice begins to be seen as an attainable right, then there will be many more champions like late Abiola. Henceforth, democracy day will be a celebration of unity and possibilities in a free society and June 12 will become a symbol of the future and not the past. May God bless Nigeria.
