- I will miss seeing him every Shabbos morning as I exit shul. He was always the first person to offer a smile and a personal greeting.
- I will miss the smell of black pepper ;)
- I will miss receiving gift boxes of personalized spices (with labels reading, "packed especially for G6").
- I will miss watching Uncle Jerry stopping every little boy in shul as they passed his seat - one of a dying breed of people to remind the youngsters how important a handshake and a "Good Shabbos" really is....

Some Things Are Hard To Put Into Words

Who is (or was) Uncle Jerry? I noticed the picture of Rav S.Z. Breuer Z"tl in the talent show clip, are you related? I know many people in the Heights, speak to the Rabbonim regularly & have quire a few relatives in the 'hood. If you contact me off-line I'll tell you who I am.

24 hours after the levaya, I'm still stunned at the loss. For the last 3 years, I've had the rare privelege of learning in the biweekly shiur given by David in his grandfather's study, and my mind routinely exploded at thought of where I was and who I was with, and that "ani hakaton" learned gemara in their home. Frequently, Jerry would bring a technical topic home with an anecdote of R' Breuer or a description of the Kehilla's minhagim, and his quiet raised points contrasted sharply with my own rude interruptions when I had a question.
Last summer, the Washington Heights Congregation (R' Bloch's shul) had its 100th Anniversary Dinner at Mt. Sinai. During shmona esrei at ma'ariv, for whatever reason, I started wondering, "What kind of hat is Jerry wearing?" (my kavanah needs significant work, I know)… "Of course he must be wearing one, but he doesn't wear the yeshivishe black hat, a felt hat makes no sense during the summertime, the white straw hat would be inappropriate for evening... " When I finished davening, I turned to Jerry's section and of course he and Chazan Frankel Z"L were wearing dark straw hats that matched their suits just so: dark grey for Jerry, and brown for Chazan Frankel. I have less than zero sense of fashion, but to me, that image captured a certain aspect of Jerry and the whole mentality of the German Torah im Derech Eretz persona: always dignified and appropriate, self-confident without being condescending. When the shiur had a siyum and we sat around the dining room table, he preceded the meal with a short tribute to his wife and son that could have been written by a professional speechwriter: again, appropriate and dignified, gracious and heartfelt without any oversentimentality.
The one time that he got annoyed at me was when my son was born, and, in deference to my wife's sleeping schedule, we had a small sign posted in our building for the shalom zachor rather than inviting people. As a result, he didn't know about it. That there was a community simcha where he didn't get to share a mazal tov was something that upset him and the way he believed the world should be.
My work schedule has me leaving the Heights very early in the morning, and I'd routinely run into Jerry walking to shul. I find it hard to imagine walking up 187th street to Overlook Terrace at a quarter to six and not seeing his smile.

It's extrememly sad. I was shocked and still am. So unexpected. Washington Heights will truly not be the same without him. People like him are what make Washington Height Washington Heights for me. There are so few of the old-timers left and it's scary.
- January 7, 2009 at 5:48 PM
sorry, but I am with JG about the shalom zachor. YOUR WIFE HAS HER WHOLE LIFE TO SLEEP, FOR GOODNESS SAKE! And anyway, very often the women aren't even out at a Shalom Zachor! Sorry, I just don't get some people.
Actually a woman I know, who had a Shalom Zachor for her first boy after MANY girls, didn't want the mess in her house too close to Pesach- so she had her husband go away with the other kids for shabbos and they didn't have a shalom zachor. Poor guy, waited so many years. What's with these selfish women???

These millennials are reading for their virtual reality wedding, baby. Photo: iStock
Welcome to the future.
Weddings are expensive affairs.
When you take into account venue hire, catering, celebrant, florals, misc invite costs and then the dress - the DRESS - well, you really better hope it's forever because the price of everything certainly won't leave your mental consciousness anytime soon. And there ain't no way of getting that money back!
Until now.
Well, kind of.
Thanks to us living in the 21st century, (nearly) anything is possible. But specifically, I'm talking about Virtual Reality weddings.
You read that correctly. New technology means that you can now relive your special day over, and over, and over, and over again.
This woman is reaching into her future wedding. Photo: iStock
The company making this all possible, VR Weddings, says, "Imagine being able to re-experience the best day of your life, witness the reactions of close relatives that you may not have seen on the day, share the experience with relatives and loved ones who may not have been able to make it to your wedding".
Of course, you're able to tailor your virtual reality wedding experience to your needs and budget, with a few different packages available.
The most basic package includes a VR Weddings client manager, a production meeting, a videographer for the full day, post produced edit and a Youtube link.
For those who want to go all out, the gold package includes you're very own VR headset, and the package above that - premium - comes with an additional photographer.
The VR weddings website says, "VR weddings provides you with a virtual reality headset containing the best moments from your wedding, allowing you to get as close to the memories year after year."
The company is based in Ireland at the moment but expend them to expand soon enough allowing everyone to truly get bang for their buck!

Brendan Simms: German Strength and the Euro Crisis
Here's a short interview with Brendan Simms, a professor of history of international relations. He talks to an editor of the Economist about the past and present strength of Germany within Europe and its implications in the context of the euro crisis.
He explains that the appeal that Germany should "lead" doesn't mean it should "pay more"—as public opinion often holds. It simply means that it's up to Germany to invest its political capital into a reform of the EU respectively the euro zone and press for deeper integration.
On the other hand he believes that besides other issues the recent—hardly promising—attempts to tie Britain more closely to the EU Germany is jeopardizing its scope in this regard.
It's good to hear sane voices out there still.

Is your country playing in the World Cup this year? If not, which side are you going to shout for in the FIFA world cup? For the best world cup free bets check out world cup tips and see what the panel of experts say about your countries chance of winning. I was privileged enough to attend 11 matches in the South African World Cup in 2010. The country of South Africa was uplifted to another level during the tournament. With flocks of fans from all around the world coming to the country to support their team, there was a mixture of South American flavour, mixed with a touch of Eastern European spice and a sprinkle of Asian flavours to top it all off.
The different fans all behaved in very different ways – The Argentinian supporters were very loud and proud and came in their thousands to support their lads such as Messi, Teves and Aguero to name a few. They had high hopes for the tournament and were disappointed not to get as far as the finals. The Blue and White army could be heard throughout the matches banging their drums and singing over the loud sounds of the "Vuvuzela" – which became a very well known musical instrument during the 2010 world cup finals in South Africa.
The Asian fans were a lot more reserved and they used to cheer loudly only when their side scored a goal or won the game, other than that they would sit quietly and watch as the game was played out in silence. They would often have their faces painted and wore many bright colours to represent their countries colours.
The European countries were loving the warm weather and tried to take advantage of the warmth during the afternoon matches. Even the South African winter seemed like a warm summers day compared to some of their extremely cold temperatures back at home. They were often heard singing songs and their fans anthems as the games played on. They were very passionate and went crazy when goals were scored. Have a look at world cup tips to see if your nation has the ability to win this years' competition.
The African nations were ecstatic to have their first world cup in their home nation and they were very welcoming of all the other nations and were very fond of the Vuvuzela as well. They would blow their Vuvuzelas throughout the match as they enjoyed watching the worlds best players playing in their own back yard. It was an incredible experience which I will never forget for a very long time.

A wonderful winter hike in the most picturesque Czech national park
90 millions years ago the nature was already at work for giving us the chance of a wonderful hiking experience in the landscape of sandstone rock "towns", towers, walls, gorges and ravines .
We start our hike at Tisa Rocks, a well-known group of sandstone rocks.
Chronicles of Narnia movie has been filmed here and it is not by chance! The natural labyrinth between is amazing and the views from the top of the rocks too.
After Tisa we will move to Děčínský Sněžník, the only table top mountain in the country and also the highest peak in the Elbe Sandstone Mountains ((722.8 m above sea level). The view from the top it is something that every Czech wants to see once in life.
After a nice lunch at the local restaurant we will continue our journey and get to the city of Decin, the gate to Elbe Canyon. There we will have our third hike of the day that will take us on a natural rock balcony with a view over the Elbe river, a great way to finish our epic tour in the Bohemian Switzerland.

Add This Picturesque Waterfall to Your Cebu Itinerary
There's more to Cebu than whale sharks.
The town of Oslob in Cebu is famous for its whale sharks that tourists can watch from a distance or swim with. But what a lot of travelers don't know is that it also has a waterfall so picturesque that it looks like it's straight out of a movie. So instead of making the stunning Tumalog Falls just a pitstop before visiting the whale sharks, why not make it a destination altogether? The journey there is enough to make the trip worth it, especially for nature lovers.
You can get there by riding a bus from Cebu City to Oslob. Once in Oslob, get off at Tumalog
Once you get there, prepare to be amazed by the huuuuuge falls with water so cool and clear. Water cascades down the towering boulders and into a refreshing, clear pool that's a perfect reward after a tiring trip.
Tumalog Falls is located at Cebu South Road, Barangay Luka, Oslob, Cebu.

Whether you're working, traveling, or partying, summer can easily stumble into a lazy routine. Here are some recommendations to stimulate you and break up your pattern. Or at least, make your tanning time more fulfilling.
Watch: Orange is the New Black It would be shocking if you weren't already watching this fascinating, hysterical, honest, and intimate Netflix original series depicting life in a women's prison. The show's unique comedy and drama is addictive, but it is the complicated, authentic characters that draw you in, again and again. It's been said a million times, but three-dimensional female characters are a rare sight in our media. However, Orange is the New Black is over-populated with them. Not one character lacks backstory or dimension. They are sensitive, cruel, sympathetic, justified, and selfish, sometimes all within the same breath. It helps that the women of Litchfield Prison are often hilariously insightful, too.
On the cinematic front, The Fault in Our Stars is worth seeing and will surely depress you in a Carpe-Diem kind of way, but Frances Ha, Two Days in Paris, and Punch Drunk Love are some pretty life-affirming movies available on Netflix. And it is summer, so Almost Famous – director Cameron Crowe's poignant love letter to the 1970s rock-n-roll lifestyle – is always recommended.
Read: "The Anatomy of Being" by Shinji Moon. Yes, it's a book of poetry, but it isn't like the indiscernible, overly proper poetry you read in High School english class. This collection reads like a beautiful, intricate journal of college student living in Manhattan. Shinji writes so honestly you might mistake her words for your thoughts. Her work is unpretentious, imaginative, and heartfelt.
If poetry isn't your thing, try any of David Sedaris's books of essays. Me Talk Pretty One Day is one of the funniest things I've ever read, but it is substantiated with enough wisdom to make you feel like you aren't wasting time. A perfect beach or airplane read if there ever was one.
Listen: Indie group Mean Lady sings dreamily, hypnotically, and wildly. Their album Love Now somehow manages to be both endearingly upbeat and sincere, but their song "Indian Sun" will truly leave you in a spell. "Far Away," "Why'd'ya Haftabee Sucha?" and "I Will Marry You" are equally enchanting.
Try "Avant Gardener" by Courtney Barnett for quirky-clever-clueless, "Waves" by Sleeper Agent for road trips "Life is Hard" by Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeroes to be uplifted, "King of the World" by First Aid Kit for relatable folk, and "Out of My League" by Fitz and the Tantrums for dancing.
Hope you all are having wonderful summers and enjoy these recommendations – go enjoy the sun and try not to be too sad that there's no Beat the Clock back home.
– Jenny Henderson

Profile (Translated from the Trading Card)
MP-15/16-E Wingthing
Function: Autonomous Weapon
When instructed by his master he will distort photons using the Photon-Negator in his eyes to distort his enemies field of vision.
Wingthing is the fourth member of the Cassettbots vs Cassettrons set and is a repaint of Masterpiece Ratbat which was released with MP-13B Soundblaster in 2014. Wingthing is based on the 1990 Actionmaster partner that came with Soundwave. Whereas the Actionmasters themselves did not transform, their partners or vehicles did; in Wingthing's case it transformed from a robotic bat into a Concussion Cannon.
|Soundwave with Wingthing (Source: eBay)
In 2012 Takara Tomy reissued Soundblaster once again under the Encore line, this time coming with two new cassettes, Enemy and Wingthing. As the original Wingthing was a bat it makes sense that Ratbat was used for the mould. His weapons are now called Concussion Blasters similar to the named Concussion Cannon he once transformed into. Early promotional photographs of Wingthing depicted a colour scheme closer to the 1990 version with a black head and weapons.
Wingthing (Translated from the instruction pamphlet)
Function: Autonomous Weapon
Motto: "Espionage, Secret Maneuvers, Please Select."
A member of the Destron Cassette Unit commanded by Soundwave; Wingthing is a partner droid created when Soundwave modified weaponry. Although he is a droid created by a Transformer, he is almost an autonomous sentient lifeform. Has an inbuilt high-precision emulator developed by Soundwave which gives the appearance that he has his own intelligence and emotions. Willingly obeys the commands of his master which include wiretapping and manipulation of information; although its main targets are Cybertrons and humans, fellow Destron warriors are no exception. Understands Soundwaves exact preferences. Faithful due to his programming and due to this he is disliked by fellow Destrons with the exception of his master and fellow Cassettrons. When instructed by his master he will distort photons using the Photon-Negator housed in his eyes to distort his enemies field of vision. The Concussion Blaster on his back is a terrifying weapon which vibrates and destroys his enemies electronic brain through its armour without even coming into direct contact with his opponent.
Appearance: Cassette Mode (Translated from the instruction pamphlet)
Each member of the Cassettbot / Cassettron unit has the ability to transform into cassette recording media. As well as being housed in the chest of their leader who is the sound system, while stored, they can communicate with each other sharing senses and collected information. It can be said in the world of the Transformers, their small size can be a negative however a mysterious bond between the sound system and cassette has been created, an almost symbiotic relationship.

So I had a christian submit an article to me about how New Atheists think of themselves as superior. I responded back but copied and pasted the interaction below with some small changes
"The use of this question by the "New Atheists" is an example of a "straw man fallacy" – they set up something to knock down which is not the God Christians believe in."
A) The statement above provides an interesting link from an admitted Atheist who is complaining about "The New Atheists" (Hitchens, Dawkins, Harris and Dennett) and how he doesn't agree with how the New Atheists pass themselves off as "superior" and says that term "Atheists" means simply "non-belief in gods and religion.
Here is that article:
>>> As I am reading this article I see that I myself fit the description of "New Atheist".
>>> I see the harms done of religion and have good reason to say I think all religion is something to be hated and feared. As a rule I will do my very, very best to not hate the person and will remind myself that they are merely "victims" of the "religious faith virus" and "religious disease".
>>> I make a specific list as to these reasons here in a list of how and why I wouldn't be bothered by religious people with what they say and do:
As for New Atheists suggesting Atheists are superior to religious people, please answer these questions:
>>> Which of these examples below doesn't count as being superior to a religious person:
[a] I know what actual right and wrong are because I can make the determination out for myself. (I know this to be true because I myself was brainwashed to religion once).
[b] I am conditioned to find my own inner strength because I have relied on self improvement, self-reliance, turning to real people and ACTUALLY SOLVING MY OWN PROBLEMS RATHER THAN PRAYING FOR HELP!
[c] I don't believe in ghosts, or that supernatural sky daddies are watching me, or that magical beings are judging me to be "guilty of thought crime".
[d] I know that I am not a slave of a lie and why anyone should think that I shouldn't feel good about being a freethinker is absolutely mind-blowing!
[e] I don't hate people because of my religion (which I don't have) such as gays, or a different religion, or debauchary, or color, or their hereditary background!
[f] I know that if I hate someone it's because of my own reasons, not cause an imaginary being says so.
[g] My free time is mine and I'm not one of the "brainwashed self-enslaved" who spends it at a church when I could be sleeping in, doing something recreational or working.
[h] I can eat what I want and not base it on a religion. Not kosher, halal, fasting.
[i] I am more secure about my health. I am not in danger from FAITH HEALERS, fasting or Jehovah's witnessess refusing to give and take blood. Plus many others of course.
[j] I am not a child abuser and that is what indoctrination is and if I am religious then that is what I would be doing, indoctrinating them and raping their minds from thinking for themselves and brainwashing them to be self-enslaved, zombie godbots!
>>> The list is immense but I am free of all the many things that hinder you and you don't realize it and all the things that you aren't hindered and conflicted by from other religions.
>>> I am superior to religious people because of my Atheism and they are incapable of even grasping how, or why that is true! This is because their religious brainwashing won't allow them to see it.
>>> One of the New Atheists named Christopher Hitchens had several quotes that were right on the mark.
Here is one of them:
"Name a moral statement or action, uttered or performed by a religious person that could not have been uttered or performed by an unbeliever. I am still waiting for a response to this. It carries an incidental corollary: think of a wicked action or statement that derived directly from religious faith, and you know what? There is no tongue-tied silence at THAT point. Everybody can instantly think of an example."

What New Posts provided me 2 hours ago was the ability to easily see the newest posts and click the red dot to go to the unread. The red dot is not present in the What's New view. So basically I'm stuck going to individual subforums to get the red dots back.

Happy Monday, QuiBidders! We hope you all enjoyed a happy, relaxing Mother's Day weekend. With the work week back upon us, take a moment to allow us to introduce to you the newest QuiBidder of the Week, Richard G. from the United States! Richard's been bidding on QuiBids for about a year and a half, and he's hauled in a ton of stuff to show for it!
Continue reading to learn more about Richard's experiences on QuiBids, and be sure to tell him "congrats' in the comments below! Go here to find out how you can become the next QuiBidder of the Week and earn a $50 Gift Card of your choice.
How long have you been bidding on QuiBids?
"I found QuiBids on January 28th, 2011. I found the website (kind of by mistake) on a cold, snowy day in Upstate NY as I was just browsing the internet. I started bidding and could not believe that I could win as much as I did for so little money spent on bids. Winning Voucher Bids is great! I so far have won 441 auctions and have saved thousands of dollars on merchandise that I could have purchased someplace else for full price. I have not always won but always come away with the item that I want with the Buy Now feature."
Tell us about a recent QuiBids win.
"My most recent great win was for the Uniflame WAD506AS 45″ Outdoor Fireplace. I placed 18 Voucher Bids and won it for $28.45, saving $211.54. Probably my two best wins were for an Apple iPad 32 GB. I saved 93%, spent 10 Voucher Bids, and I won it for $34.21 saving $465.78. Then a HP G61D72NR i3 2350M 15.6 inch Laptop Computer. I saved 92%, paying $52.58, and saving $597.41, while using 236 voucher bids."
Have you ever given your QuiBids win as a gift to someone else?
"I have given many of my wins away as gifts. Both my wife and daughter have been recipients of an Apple iPod Nano and a 250 GB Original Apple iPod. Also, each received laptop computers, gift cards, and many other items for Christmas this last year."
Do you use Buy Now?
"I will always use Buy Now! If I bid on an item I am bidding to win or buy, each and every time."
What's the most bids you've ever won from a QuiBids Gameplay?
"The best I have ever done on a Gameplay is on Deal Wheel and I won 93 bids."
What advice would you like to give to a new QuiBidder just starting out?
"If you are just starting out on QuiBids you will want to just sit back, relax, and watch for a while so you can get a good sense of how it works and when would be the best time to jump in on an auction. Start out small and work your way up. Be willing to wait and not feel as though you have to jump right in. Be willing to use Buy Now so you will not leave empty handed."
Anything else you'd like to add?
"Anyone can save money and have a great time on QuiBids!"
Since Richard's story was chosen to be featured in this blog post, he will receive a $50 gift card of his choice. Do you have a question for him? Feel free to ask away in the comments below.
Do you want to tell us your QuiBids story too and become the next QuiBidder of the Week and win a $50 gift card of your choice? Then go here to submit your story and photo. Happy bidding!

With summer around the corner, my bright makeup will fit right in! Today's makeup is bold and bright with a little mermaid inspiration.
On my eyes I blended Exu and Boom from the Urban Decay x Jean Michel Basquiat palette, with Untitled smudged into my lower lashline.
For lashes I went for the House of Lashes Seductress lashes for that flirty touch.
My cheeks are contoured with the Benefit Cosmetics Hoola Bronzer and highlighted with Jeffree Star's Ice Cold Skin Frost.
Finally, I'm wearing the Pretty Vulgar liquid lipstick in Forget Me Not.
Thanks for reading, my loves 🙂 til next time

21 Nov The Art of Curiosity…
The Curiosity Bug
Why Being Inquisitive is Essential in Coaching
"The important thing is not to stop questioning… never lose a holy curiosity." – Albert Einstein
Coaches who shine – coaches who seem to effortlessly impact their clients, who generate trust, and who consistently inspire other coaches to do and be better every day…
Those coaches have something in common.
The art of curiosity.
It's a powerful tool that will enrich your world, keep life interesting, and help you build stronger connections with your clients and colleagues.
And, it is the magic ingredient that makes for great, influential leadership.
"Curiosity is an important trait of a genius. I don't think you can find an intellectual giant who is not a curious person," says writer Donald Latumahina http://www.lifehack.org/articles/productivity/4-reasons-why-curiosity-is-important-and-how-to-develop-it.html
And it's true. Curiosity makes you a dedicated listener, unlocks opportunities, and helps you gain greater insights that enrich your personal life and professional work.
"When you are curious about something, your mind expects and anticipates new ideas related to it," continues Latumahina, "by being curious, you will be able to see new worlds and possibilities which are normally not visible." http://www.lifehack.org/articles/productivity/4-reasons-why-curiosity-is-important-and-how-to-develop-it.html
Among other things, these new worlds may be insights you can share with clients, they may be solutions to a team challenge, and they may be ideas that launch your career to the next level.
And yet, curiosity is not just an intellectual tool – it has also been found to enrich social relationships.
This study, conducted at the State University of New York at Buffalo, concluded that highly curious people experienced "more positive interpersonal outcomes." http://www.buffalo.edu/news/releases/2002/12/5996.html
By showing a keen sense of curiosity, you demonstrate your willingness to digest the world around you, your interest in each client, and your humbleness as a leader and coach.
Curiosity helps you demonstrate that you are ready to learn, interested in new ideas, and most importantly – accessible to your clients; a receptive and welcoming coach.

Huh. So this is the song I half-way thought about posting for the YTT installment I obviously didn't do this week. It's 'Fake Empire' by The National, and is easily in my Top 10 (of all time, perhaps). Such cool tempo changes and trumpets and piano and drums and stuff.
Anyhoo, reading Jamie's blog today introduced me to the video below, which, happily, has my song in the background. I don't think it's nearly as cool as the will. i. am video, but regardless, it's timely.
Therefore, tadow, we have two lazy (and unoriginal!) posts in one. 😛
Hope your weekend is well, friends. I'm headed to another float trip, but this time the weather will be a balmy… 70 degrees, so I'm curious how the river will feel this time. Good times, though, surely.

Ulcinj – Director of the head office for traffic, Veselin grbovic stayed yesterday with his associates in a work visit in Ulcin, where with the mayor Gmiza Hajdinaga he spoke about the reconstruction of the road infrastructure and plans for this year.
He announced that the head office during the year will spend half a million of euros on "clothing" of the regional and highway roads and for placement of vertical signalization in the most southern municipality.
– The road Ulcinj – Bar will be reconstructed in the length of 2, 5 km on the most damaged sections of the road. From Vladimir to Sukobina, we will place the asphalt in the length of 3 km, and from Vladimir towards Ostros in the length of 5 to 6 km – said Grbovic on a press conference, after the meeting with Hajdinaga.
He added that after the signing of the contract with the government of Albania about the construction of the joined border crossing, Murici – Sukobin, the reconstruction of the highway Ulcinj – Sukobin is imposing itself as a priority.
– Soon we will announce a tender for the reconstruction of that road, which at the moment does not fulfill the standards of the regional road. That is a priority, considering the fact that the number of passengers and vehicles on that border crossing is in a continuous growth – said Grbovic.
Hajdinaga thanked Grbovic for his visit and expressed the hope that all the planned works will be terminated until the beginning of the season.

Project Fresh Start Toyota Tundra:
Our client, a local resident of nearby Donalsonville in Seminole County, came in to see us here at Precision Audio in Bainbridge to help solve an issue for him. His complaint was an 'Oh, so common,' one that we hear ALL the time.
Hey, guys… I've got this truck had for 'X # of years,' and it's been a really great truck for me and I don't want to get rid of it. I've taken care of it very well, and I have no issues with my Tundra. It's in great shape, and I simply can't justify a newer vehicle right now with such a great truck already. But, ya know… after 'X' years you start getting a bit bored of seeing the same thing and wouldn't mind a little change. I'd really like to do something to bring out my truck's exterior and upgrade some of the inside options too. But I don't want to spend a fortune either, so what are my options?
Who Ya Gonna Call?
Well luckily for our guy here, this is exactly where we excel at, and there are no better professionals and experts locally when it comes to fixing up and customizing vehicles in Southwest Georgia than our team here at Precision Audio.
We Got This…
After going over some of the options for the Tundra's exterior aesthetic upgrades as well as some interior add-ons and even electronics upgrade options too. And keeping in mind a budget that we outlined beforehand, we worked out a great, personal and customized plan and upgrade path for what all we would do to it right now. And, the next two phases in bringing this sweet (and really nice!) Toyota full-size pickup back into the limelight.
Feelin' Like Forrest G. With A Sweet Set Of Runnin' Shoes
For this first upgrade, we decided to go for the obvious exterior upgrade changing out the terrible, OEM factory wheels Toyota curses their vehicles with. To some new, cool looking 20-inch matte black FUEL Cleaver rims wrapped in a fresh set of 275/60/20 Nitto Terra Grappler AT tires. Nitto makes excellent AT & MT tires that look great paired with matte black wheels. It's our personal favorite, preferred option to match up in a new truck build.
Lay Down Those Fresh Beats, MC!
Now, with the outside taken care of and a solid start made towards a whole new look for this Tundra we decided to do one interior upgrade too. Our client, being a huge music fanatic (aren't we all?) said to us "It looks great, but I gotta get some better sound in my ride. And, to finally be able to connect this damn $800 tiny computer that happens to make calls once in awhile. And that Verizon apparently thinks Samsung built out of solid gold. Maybe then I'll get to use at least a small fraction of what all this crazy-complicated thing does. But, mainly all I want is to be able to make my calls hands-free and safer. And also to be able to stream my music wirelessly and get rid of all these cords junkin' up my truck's dash. Gonna strangle a small kid or something if they don't hit the road…"
Gotcha brother, no prob! Again, ya couldn't have come to a better set of local experts to solve your issue.
- Most of the time, unless you have a newer, late-model vehicle with a source unit that is too difficult to remove and replace. Or that will cause too much loss of original, factory functionality and features. Then in a vehicle like this one, the go-to starting point is a new head unit for sure.
- You instantly add options like USB, AUX, Bluetooth connectivity. And in this case, since we went with an in-dash touch screen, also got way easier operation and usability.
- Plus tons of new audio options and adjustments you didn't even have before, so we can instantly improve the sound of your current audio system without even changing out anything else yet [granted the speakers aren't busted of course :-D].
- We, unfortunately, got too wrapped up talking to our guy to nab pics of the screen installed too. But take our word, it looked pretty dang smooth and slick set up in his dash compared to Toyota's ultra plain and boring, 1980's-looking factory radio.
Auto-Customizing Gurus? 😎
Our new buddy here also informed us after the install was complete that he was beyond pleased with the balance we struck on his needs and wants, and plans of what to work towards with us next. We were able to achieve exactly what he was looking for. Not spending too much money at once while giving just enough new appeal to his Toyota, that in his words, looked like an entirely new vehicle.
Just Makin' The World A Cooler Place, One Upgrade At A Time!
We couldn't ask for a better compliment and praise towards our sales team and install techs. This kind of response is precisely what we strive to achieve and hear every single day from each and every one of our customers. Gives us a reason to get up in the morning with our fresh cup of joe and be there to help make your customizing dreams for your own vehicle become a reality.
Ready? Get Us A Shout Below!
Give us a call here at Precision Audio in Bainbridge or stop by and see us and let us hook you up with the features, looks, and style your vehicle should've had all along. But thankfully, you've still got us for that! Click HERE to contact us by phone or e-mail. Let us know you want some of that magic you saw us post on the web for your own ride.

Young Eagles
more than 10 years we in Chapter 180 have been giving young people their very
first ride in an airplane. If you or a
youngster you know wants to experience the thrill, spectacle and beauty of
flying for the first time visit our Young Eagles page and find out all about
How long have people been building aircraft ? A lot longer than you probably realize !
Here are the stories about amateurs building aircraft and how their work has contributed to what we know as aviation today. Note how important it has been to have openly shared data files, and how the stepping stones of discoveries / progress could have been enhanced if access to knowledge could have been available to all interested parties. With the internet and EAA chapters available around the world, and with the current emphasis on data and analysis driven decision making, it is now possible to synergize instead of just inventing.
Kites Circa BCE, 770-221
Daedalus and Icarus, Ancient Greece
Leonardo da Vinci, 15th Century
Torricelli, 1640
Much later, the book of Han Fei Zi reports that Mozi (who was a philosopher who lived a century later than Confucius) wrote in his texts about the mu yang (wooden kite) he built with Lu Ban (a master of wooden joinery and philosopher). This was during the period of the Warring-Empires (475-221 BCE).
In the seventeenth century, European traders (English, Dutch, Portuguese) encountered kites and brought them back to Europe. The colorful Chinese kites reminded the English of a bird of prey—the kite—so they gave this name (kites) to the Chinese flying device.
Hatching a plan for escape (pun intended), Daedalus collected lots of bird feathers, and then fashioned wings for his son Icarus and himself by using wax to hold the feathers in place.
He also realized that watching the weather and planning a proper first-flight route was very important. Because if they did not fly a route that remained out of the sun's heat rays, their feather wings would fall apart.
We all know the stories of offspring who are inquisitive and dismissive of their parent's advice, spread their wings, and fly the nest to go their own way. From a tall tower, father and son successfully flew away from their prison, but soon Icarus was overcome with the exhilaration of flying and flew up higher and higher towards the sun where upon the heat of the sun melted the wax, disassembled the feathers, and Icarus crashed down into the sea. This sea is forever known as the Icarian Sea.
In 1640, Evangelista Torricelli discovered that air has mass. When experimenting with measuring mercury, he discovered that air put pressure on the mercury.
The Montgolfier brothers (Joseph-Michel Montgolfier and Jacques-Étienne Montgolfier) designed and crafted the first hot air baloon in 1783. They launched their balloon with King Louis16th and his Queen Marie Antoinette and their court in attendance.
Although the scientific knowledge was prevalent about hot air being lighter than cold air, it was the inventive Montgolfier brothers who created the hot air balloon, which at first carried a sheep, a duck and a rooster, and flew some 1600 feet.
A month later they had a flight with a French nobleman aboard using a rope to tether the hot air balloon to the ground.
Weighing only 9 pounds, John Stringfellow created a steam-powered unmanned fixed-wing aircraft.
It was powerful enough that it could fly unmanned (by itself) without having to have a catapault, nor take-off from a tower, nor be dropped from high up to achieve sustained flight.
First flight was made in Chard England in 1848.
By 1807 at age 36, he had come to
understand that a curved lifting surface would generate more lift than a
flat surface of equal area.
In 1843, still inventive at age seventy, Cayley designed a helicopter whose rotating blades could be converted into fixed wings for forward flight. This is a much more refined concept than da Vinci had nearly three hundred years earlier, and a concept that is still being refined for the US military in the 21st century.
There in the North of England, Sir George Cayley designed and built a glider that would support a person.
The machine rolled forward on its tricycle undercarriage and the coachman found himself hurtling swiftly down the slope toward a narrow valley. The ground seemed to drop away beneath him and he was alone in the sky, crouching in a boat-like shell suspended from a billowing set of cloth wings.
In 1866 Frederick Marriott of San Francisco formed The Aerial Steam Navigation Company with the goal of building and operating a large steam-powered airship between New York and California, bridging the gap between the population centers of the United States and the burgeoning gold fields of the Pacific.
By 1869, Marriott had constructed a 37' long prototype named the Hermes Jr. Avitor, after the fleet-footed Roman messenger god who flew through the air on winged sandals. The prototype carried no pilot and was powered by a 1-horsepower steam engine. Buoyant lift was provided by a hydrogen-filled envelope, with stabilizers and elevator surfaces attached to allow for controlled flight. The vehicle was successfully tested at Tanforan, near modern-day San Francisco International Airport. The aircraft completed a circular flight of approximately 1 mile and was recovered successfully.
Marriott planned construction of a larger version capable of carrying passengers and crew, but completion of the first rail link between east and west coasts in 1869 reduced transcontinental travel times to a week or less, and the stock market crash of 1870 prevented him from securing the necessary financing.
To prove out his theories, he would create gliders and launch himself off from a man-made hill on the outskirts of Berlin.
His belief was that canopied wings (as seen in the photo) were the way to build glider wings rather than the cambered airfoil that the Wright brothers later decided to use.
As is true even today, a nose up angle of attack that is too extreme for the air to flow smoothly over the wing will cause the wing to "stall" and lose its lifting capability. This happened during a test flight when Lilienthal was struck by a gust of wind. The gust of wind forced the nose of the glider up, thereby causing the stall. He was not able to control the resulting stall, and crashed. The crash broke his spine and he died shortly afterwards.
But, thankfully, his well documented theories and test flight results survived to be used by other aviation inventors and designer/builders of aircraft.
The Wrights made a lot of scientifically tested improvements on their propellers that da Vinci had not implemented. Having an effective propeller was as important as having a strong light engine, and having wings that would provide sufficient lift to offset the weight of the airplane and the pilot was crucial as well.
Realizing that a light-weight engine using lightweight gasoline for fuel was essential, Charles Taylor (the Wright brother's skilled bicycle shop mechanic) designed and machined a four cylinder engine that produced 12 hp. This engine was very innovative, especially because he used an aluminum casting of the block to save weight. It was built in only six weeks allowing them to get back down to Kitty Hawk for more flying tests while the seasonal weather was still favorable to flying.
The Wright Flyer, pictured above, is a wing warping design, which when coupled with a powerful and relatively light engine produced the hoped for results shown in the first flight picture. The first powered flight carrying a person was made in the strong steady winds of Kitty Hawk Heights, North Carolina USA and only lasted an estimated 12 seconds while covering about 100 feet, but what an accomplishment at that time.
He was very involved with the development of powered flight aviation once the Wright brothers had shown the flight characteristics of their airplane.
Farman's addition of ailerons to the wings (aileron is the French word for little wing) made a significate improvement in controlling flight. When the pilot wants to turn left, the left aileron raises up to spoil some of the lifting properties of the left wing tip, simultaneously the aileron on the right wing tip goes down (which increases the lift capability of the right wing tip). The result is that when the amount of lift on the left wing is less the airplane dips to the left (this is enhanced by the increasing lift on the right wing tip), and thus turns to the left. The addition of ailerons to wing tips greatly increases the ability to control turns and makes the airplane much safer to fly.
Maupin and Lanteri, who worked in a shipyard in Pittsburg California, decided to build a wood with cloth covering biplane in 1910. Lan Maupin was a dredge captain working in the Pittsburg, California, shipyard that was owned by Lanteri. Pittsburg, located in the delta area East of San Francisco Bay, was once named Black Diamond after the Black Diamond company that built the railroad to neighboring coal mining operations.
This duo was swept up in the euphoria of powered flight that was sweeping across the globe. Making good use of whatever they could learn about the Glenn Curtiss designed airplanes, they put together their design which was larger than those of Curtiss.
After hiring a race car driver to learn how to fly, this airplane was demonstrated at numerous airshows around the San Francisco Airport, California area. At one airshow the plane made 60 take offs and landings in the same day, and another time in Los Angelos if flew a record breaking 23 hours and 23 minutes within a five day period. It flew to a record 5600 foot altitude, and set other records flying over Oakland and Napa Valley, California.
Black Diamond Biplane before restoration.
Designed in 1926 by John Stout for the Ford Airplane Company, this metal airplane was a radical departure from the wood and cloth airplanes of the early 20th century. The first all metal airplane and one fitted with three powerful radial engines, It used corrugated aluminum for the fuselage and wing skin covers. This made it extremely strong and yet light weight.
Notice the extreme improvement (development) that has occurred in only 23 years in aircraft and engine development since the time of the Wright brother's first flight in 1903.
Number NC8407 is the EAA's airplane, was the 146th airplane off Ford's innovative assembly line and first flew on August 21, 1929. It was sold to Pitcairn Aviation's passenger division, Eastern Air Transport, whose paint scheme is replicated on EAA's Tri-Motor. This is why our Ford resides in the Pitcairn hangar at Pioneer Airport. Pioneer Airport is the private grass airfield owned by EAA-National and is adjacent to Oshkosh's Whitman Regional Airport in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, USA. Eastern Air Transport later became Eastern Airlines.
This stirred the pot for much better metal alloys and manufacturing production methods which, in turn, paved the way for new aircraft design philosophies and materials.
1960's and 1970's a prolific number of plans for new designs arrived for homebuilders.
1980's and 1990's ultralight airplanes and a growing number of amateur builders.
2000's and 2010's

Jan Hojer reports on Instagram that Jernej Kruder has just done the second ascent of Chris Sharma's Es Pontas. After about a month of effort the Slovenian star has managed to send what's probably the hardest psicobloc line to date.
Update: check out the video!
Krudi did it!!!!! 😃💪☀🙃👍🍾 After almost a month of trying Es Pontas together Jernej made the second ascent!!! Watching him climb was one of the best go's I ever saw! He cruised through all the hard sequences until he started screaming at the victory jug! I watched from the other side of the arch and almost died, hustling up to the top while he did the last easy moves, to give him a men hug on top 😜 I couldn't follow his lead today, to make our dream of sending it the same day come true but I feel so close and hope I can send it after a couple rest days
Both Hojer and Kruder have been working on the line for weeks, always depending on the weather conditions and the dryness of the rock. This is for sure one of the ascents of the year.
Here's Kruder falling "3 moves" away from success just a day ago:
Update: Some words from Kruder himself:
So I guess I just made a second ascent of @chris_sharma king line Es pontas!!!!!! • • 📷 @kerstin_helbach_mallorca • • @adidasoutdoor @camp1889 @sloveniaclimbing #climbing_pictures_of_instagram #climbing_is_my_passion #climbing #rockclimbing #scarpaclimb #scarpaspa #scarpaslo #campcassin #duravida #instaclimb #endurance #achievement #psicobloc #dws #adrenaline #deepwatersolo

Dear God I ask You to be with me as I prepare for the most important interview of my life, so far - and I ask You to guide me as I prepare my heart and mind for this important meeting.
Give me I pray that strength and wisdom to answer the questions with integrity and wisdom and give me a good night's rest so that I may be alert and ready to for this important time of testing. Also I pray that You will give me Your Spirit of peace that I may enter the interview with a mind that is thinking clearly..
I pray for success in this interview but Lord I also ask that whatever the outcome of this interview is I may know that my times are in Your hands and that You have promised to be with me throughout my life - and that nothing that happens to me is by chance – but that in all my ways You are there leading and supporting.

2014, bashfulbadgersblog, blog, NaPoWriMo, National Poetry Writing Month, poem, poem in a white ribbed vest, reservation, white vest
You know you're on the reservation
once you become aware of a kind of
carelessness in the landscape.
Untended, uncultivated prairie
butts up against steadily more
ramshackle properties, spread
unsociably apart, their yards
cluttered with the modern
sculpture of broken down cars.
An outlet selling 'genuine'
handcrafted items boasts
old arrowheads galore
right nextdoor to the liquor store.
Neon signs incongruous
in bright daylight glare –
the giant casino,
a landed-from-space
quality to its newness
and its phony promises
of get-rich-quickness.
Beside the husks of automobiles
stripped bare of useful purpose,
it's heralding a new gold rush
of staggering proportions,
its forked tongue an
aspartame sweetness
poured in the ear,
deceiving the senses
of all who draw near.
Tangled in the chaparral
of a complex new religion,
dry arroyo beds, the green
leached out of the land.
Everyone's driving through here
nothing's thriving here.
Everything's detached,
tossed like tumbleweed
headlong down abandoned
strips of ghost town streets.
Dogs in the beds of
pickups parked outside bars
that turn daylight to darkness,
a night without stars.
A place to lose yourself,
an interior dim with
anonymity and solace
where no one will know you
or recognise your scars.
Photo by Belinda.

The City of Willits officially hired a new building official and code enforcement officer as of Sept. 24. Christopher Morgan is originally from Oklahoma but has been living and working in the city of El Centro in Imperial County for the last 10 years. As planned, former building official John Sherman has made himself available to train Morgan and get him up to speed before entering retirement.
"Chris could not have been a better fit for our department and the City of Willits," said assistant city planner Michelle Johnson. "He understands and appreciates the uniqueness of our community and brings years of experience and passion for the industry that is hard to find. He is fun and engaging and has been very enjoyable to work with."
Morgan began working in construction when he was just 12 years old. He said his dad used to take him to job sites and together they helped build custom homes, franchise restaurants, "light" commercial buildings and several post offices. Morgan served in the Navy and Marine Corps, then the National Guard and the Army Reserves, for a total of 12 years of military service. He eventually earned a master's degree in business administration.
"It's has helped me greatly with people and processes. Business occurs in every genre and dealing with people… you cannot avoid," said Morgan. "This (job) is a great opportunity for me to expand on my knowledge plus it comes with a really good title. Prior to this I was a senior building inspector."
As for being a newcomer in Willits, Morgan said he especially appreciates the scenery and the people. He said, "Everyone that I've met is super nice… This is kind of what I'm used to in Oklahoma.. I like small towns. You are going to have your drama, your fights and arguments, but in a sense it's still similar to a family unit."
Morgan said he is looking forward to learning as much as he can about the role of building official and following city planner Dusty Duley's lead. "He seems to have an incredible vision and I want to support and back that up. I realize in a small town there's going to be a resistance to change…" said Morgan.
And although the cannabis industry is not new to Morgan, he said the city of El Centro went about it a little differently than the city of Willits. In Imperial County, Morgan said the county organized a lottery and only five cannabis-related businesses were allowed to do business within county limits. "It's brand new (in Willits) so we are all going to learn together and of course mistakes are going to be made…" said Morgan. "I'm not for or against, and I hate to be neutral about anything, but it's just too great of an unknown right now. We'll see what happens."
As a code enforcement officer, Morgan said the biggest challenge is getting people to respond to courtesy letters notifying them they are violating a city code. "When you cite someone or just send them a courtesy letter, they typically aren't motivated to do it. And, so, if it goes higher up, I've found that you don't always have a lot of backing but you still have to do the job," Morgan said.
He's also concerned that he has limited time to fulfill the duties of both the code enforcement officer and the building inspector. Morgan said that usually a city planning department has at least one building inspector and one code enforcement officer as well as a building official. So he is wearing three hats much like his predecessor did. "John wore plenty more (hats) than that when he first started here when there wasn't much happening so kudos to John. I think he did an amazing job with having very little to go on…" said Morgan.
"I don't want to make anybody feel like I'm ignoring them or just not paying attention to them but I'm just not going to be able to get to everybody because I'm just one person and also have the building inspector role on top of that…" said Morgan, who regardless of current circumstances, still feels confident that he will be successful and thrive in Willits.
