According to Inman News, untilrecently, landlords who earned profits from their rental real estate would not need to be concerned if they qualified as real estate professionals for tax purposes. As of 2013, this have effectively changed for many Landlords. Qualifying as a real estate professional may give an added tax benefit to landlords who earn profits from their rentals because,by qualifying as a Real Estate Professional they will not have to pay the Net Investment Income tax (NII tax) on those profits, which could be as much as 3.8% in some circumstances.

KENNEBUNK — "Awesome" was the word heard over and over again Aug. 19 evening as surfers, their families, friends, volunteers and community members rallied together to put on Special Surfers night at Gooch's Beach.
KENNEBUNK — "Awesome" was the word heard over and over again Aug. 19 evening as surfers, their families, friends, volunteers and community members rallied together to put on Special Surfers night at Gooch's Beach.
The brainchild of Maureen Dow, a special education teacher at the Morrison Center, Special Surfers is a program that allows special needs (physical, mental or emotional) children and young adults to enjoy the sport of surfing with the help of mentors, volunteers and adaptive equipment. The group meets the third Tuesday of June, July and August at Gooch's Beach, weather permitting, and Aquaholics Surf Shop is right there to make it happen, as it has been for the past 10 years.
"If you feel like your child or young adult is a good candidate bring us your special surfer, and we will take it from there," said Aquaholics owner Nancy Boutet.
Robin Dewey and her 15-year-old son Kolby Kelley made the hour and a half trip from New Milford, N.H. to participate. Dewey said it was well worth the drive.
"Everyone is so nice and Kolby loved it," she said. "We couldn't be happier — it was awesome."
Kolby agreed with a big laugh and signed the word "Yes."
Cameron Hutchins, 18, is a seasoned special surfer, having participated all three times last summer. Hutchins is non-verbal, though his mother Melissa Danis said, "The look on his face alone tells me he thoroughly enjoys it."
Heidi Aube's son Ethan is also a special surfer.
"It's hard to find sports and activities for special needs children, and surfing embodies everything that is good about sports," she said.
In addition to being a positive experience for the surfers, the evening is important for families of special needs children as well.
Shannon Carter's 6-year-old son Dakota has been participating in the surf program for two years now.
"It is amazing to get together with other people in the special needs community to connect and to watch our kids have fun together," she said.
This was A.J. Mains' first year surfing. He and his father, David Mains, were all smiles as volunteers Marissa Staples and Alex Torrey showed A.J the ropes and he successfully surfed not once but two times.
"He's proud, and I'm proud," David Mains said.
"It's a wonderful program and just as rewarding for the instructors as it is for the surfers," said Kennebunk resident Mark Seeley, a special surfer volunteer.
Volunteer Karen Turner agreed.
"Seeing the whole town come together and join in on the happiness these kids experience while they are surfing is just awesome," she said.

FOCUSING YOUR MARKETING efforts on the
people and companies most likely to buy your products or services is basic to a company's marketing.
The Web makes identifying and learning about your
customers easier and less expensive to accomplish.
Here are some other smart steps.
• Learn what people are saying about your businesses and other businesses like yours on social
media sites like Facebook and LinkedIn and review
sites like Yelp and Google. From these comments,
you can mold your business to what customers need
and will pay for.
• Conduct surveys, using a site like Survey
Monkey ( surveymonkey.com). Its basic service is
free. Surveys can help you decide on product
changes and what kind of specials or discounts people are apt to respond best to.
• Learn what content people will read or view,
and notice page counts and comments. To find
forums and blogs used by people you are targeting,
Google terms such as "drones + forum" or "dry
cleaning + blog," etc.
• Ask people to share their stories about your
products or services. This can yield remarkable content for blogs and your website.
• On your website or in person, ask people to fillout an online or paper contact form, perhaps inexchange for a free newsletter. Design your form sothey can check off what social media they use:Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, Google+. Allow themto add other social media sites, such as Instagramand Pinterest.
• Manually search social media sites to find
your customers. Each site has search tools to identify people. It's easy to search for people on Facebook
by clicking on "Find Friends"; on Twitter, you can
use its search engine to find people. A separate tool
called Tweepz enables you to find people near your
business. LinkedIn and Google+ provide search
boxes to find people and topics.
• Check LinkedIn for groups that relate to your
business or industry.
• Assemble all the information you have about
your target customers: what motivates them to buy
your product or service; their age, gender, location,
income level. If you have data from social media
analytics, Web tracking and census data, add this to
what customers have said to you and what you've
learned from surveys.
• Sort your customers into types. Identify ways
to market to each type of customer, such as email,
social media networks or other forms of marketing
that your target customers use.
Targeting your customers with the right mix of
products and messages can enable you to be in frequent contact with them, at little or no cost beyond
the time you invest, while motivating them to do
business with you. C

Doingthis allows most search enginesor social media sites to categorizeanything posted with thathashtag. According to Costcomember Barry Sloane, who advises smallbusiness, the implications of this tool havenot yet been fully realized by the small-busi-ness community. Sloane offers fourways businesses can use hashtags totheir advantage.
A survey done by RadiumOne( radiumone.com), an online advertisingfirm, found that 51 percent of those whoresponded said that they would be more will-ing to share a company's hashtag if they wereawarded discounts or chances at prizes.

New marketingtools allow companiesto target certain areas orpeople based on hashtags. For example, ifyou want to market to people with newhomes you can use the hashtag #newhome.This approach also lets you pick out the indi-viduals who are most likely to use social net-works and therefore more likely to give yourcompany a positive posting, which you canthen track.

The town of Woodstock, Vermont has been added to the town picture gallery. Enjoy!
There are now 45 towns featured in the town picture gallery.
Also, a bonus Building History: The Norman Williams Public Library
This beautiful pink sandstone stone building which graces Woodstock's famous Green was built in 1883-1884 culminating a century of the Shire Town's devotion to learning and literature. Woodstock has always been an unusually literate community: in the early 19th century private academies, a medical college, and reading circles flourished. Five weekly newspapers were published. The new library gave tangible, enduring form to this tradition.
A gift of Dr. Edward H. Williams, the library was constructed on the site of the home of his parents, Norman and Mary Williams at the cost of $30,000. The new library was an immediate and somewhat overwhelming success, and Dr. Williams soon (1901) gave $20,000 for a double-wing transept addition. In the 1980's over $150,000 was raised and spent on a new roof and other important building repairs. The library became incorporated, and to this day is still a non-profit corporation relying on the generosity of people like Dr. Williams.

There are lots of things Orlando is known for — Disney, Universal, SeaWorld, a terrible interstate highway, a 16-year-old building that's never been completed — but one thing that gets overlooked frequently, due to our booming tourism industry, is the more unique places around town.
Ask any Orlandoan, and they'll proudly tell you about all their favorite essential Orlando places (none of which are a theme park). There are plenty of hole-in-the-wall restaurants, amazing bars and unique shopping experiences — and Artegon Marketplace was at the top of that list for this Orlandoan.
Artegon was a mall, but not your run-of-the-mill kind of mall. It's Orlando's "anti-mall," an artisan marketplace located in the midst of tourism central (AKA I-Drive). It featured cute little shops of every kind, an indoor rope course, food trucks by the entrance on certain days, and so much more.
It was a hang out for my friends and I — we'd get food from Fuddruckers, a piña colada served in a pineapple and go watch movies. Sadly, Artegon closed its doors on January 26.
To say farewell, my friend Mo and I went for one final hurrah to take pictures, because seriously, you've never seen a mall better suited to photographs. In order to properly honor Artegon's colorfulness, I wore my Red Seville Gina dress from The Pretty Dress Company.
I saw this dress in a production of West Side Story late last year, and I'd been obsessed with it ever since. I couldn't resist temptation and I had to snatch it up, and let me tell you — I haven't regretted it for one second since.
The Gina dress features a flattering scoop neckline, cap sleeves, a full, pleated skirt and pockets! While they pockets aren't too big, they're big enough to fit a phone (provided that it's smaller than an iPhone 6). The skirt is so, so full (it twirls beautifully!) and it can comfortably fit a petticoat. I've been obsessed with my vintage lace petticoat from Malco Modes, which isn't very full but it gives the dress a nice silhouette.
I wanted to bring out the pink in the dress, so I chose a light pink vintage hair scarf tied with a nice big bow on top. For shoes, I went with my trusty Jessica Simpson flats (which, as a matter of fact, are really worn out on the sides and I need to replace them soon).
I forgot a necklace, but I accessorized with my new white crystal mermaid earrings, which I got from my friend Kate! Seriously, go check out her etsy, you will undoubtedly find something you'd love — there's something for everyone!
Mo's outfit consists of two Amazon pieces — in fact, the skirt may look familiar!
I saved my favorite pictures for last — Mo's artistic vision made for some great shots, and these were definitely a highlight for me. I love how well you can see the detail of the dress in the shot on the left, and I love how candid the one on the right looks.
I'll definitely miss Artegon, but I'm glad I got to experience it as much as I did. It'll be hard, but here's to hoping whatever occupies that space next lives up to Artegon's legacy.

Pedals: Wampler Tweed '57 in depth testing
Probably, this is the pedal from Wampler that drove me crazy for a longer time. I wasn't sure how to achieve my "Tweed" sound, until I've carefuller read the user's manual.
This pedal is tricky, indeed. To know which goals were behind its design and, how Brian Wampler designed the controls to work to let you achieve your wanted Tweed sound, is key to get the best from this pedal.
Once, I've understood how every control works (despite of its name), things were way easier.
I would like to share with you my experience tweaking this pedal, with an in-depth demo that you can watch in the video attached at the end.
The Tweed Sound
Firstly, we need to understand that there is not such a Tweed sound. Tweed amps were those early Fender amps with a cream colored cotton twill and a circuitry slightly different to the ones designed for Blackface Fenders (with black tolex). I think the main change was in the negative feedback circuit implemented for Blackfaces that gave them a compresser and thicker sound.
Maybe, there are some common characteristics behind all Tweed era amps. Most have a very mid ranged voice, more in the dark side than in the bright side. They were very dynamic, getting all the nuances of your picking technique and driving he tubes accordingly. The overall sound was warm and silky, with nice harmonics in the tube break up borders and with a dense saggy basses when pushed really hard.
Some of the models you can think on are: the Bassman, Champ, Deluxe and Twin, by example. All sizes, paired with different cabs and speakers, different power, slight differences in circuitry or tubes... so... they were all similar but different, at the end.
When you as for the Tweed sound, everyone has it's own in mind and, that depends on which one made the job for him. From low powered studio combos with single 10" or 12" speaker to powerfuller heads paired with a 4x12" or 4x10" cab. Mounted speakers have also a clear impact in the sound, depending on if they were ElectroVoice or Jensen, by example, or which models were used.
So, to make a Tweed sounding pedal has a wrong starting point for design, since there is not such a thing, there is not just a single and clearly defined Tweed sound.
Brian Wampler's approach
Brian wanted to bring together all those Tweed sounds and, make a pedal versatile enough to be able to emulate the different Tweed models and their differently paired cabs and speakers.
That was a very ambitious project but, If successful, could leave to each player to exactly nail the Tweed tone he was after.
And how Brian designed pedal's controls to achieve this goals?. That's the key to get the best from this pedal. Let explain it a bit.
The key Knob is the Middle one. Forget for a while that has a clear impact on the notch frequency around which middle frequencies are being bumped. Imagine it as a Tweed model selector and, move that knob until you hear the foundational tone of that Tweed you have in mind.
For sure, you will have to revisit this knob several times, while working with rest of controls, since there is a high interaction between all them but, you get the idea...
Now, think on the Treble knob as if it was an speaker selector. Small speakers had a higher projection of trebles so, move it to right hand if you are after that kind of speakers or, move it to left hand if you are after bigger speakers.
Then, think on the Bass knob as the cab selector. Small combos will have a cab that projects less basses and, very specially if its mounting a single 10" speaker so, move that knob to left hand if you are after such a kind of cab. Big cabs and, very specially closed back ones, projected powerfull basses so, move that knob to your right hand if you are after such a kind of cab.
Sure, those three tone shaping knobs work closely together (and affect and are affected also by the Gain knob) so, it would take a while of revisiting all them together to leave you were you wanted but, I am very positive that you will get what you were after.
Now, the Gain knob. Maybe, this is the knob where I find I would like more clean headroom and a smoother transition between clean, break up and distortion.
In my opinion, the Gain at minimum gives the only "clean" this pedal has and, it's a dirty clean anyway. But, that's ok. I always heard those Tweed cleans as warm broken-cleans with nice and full harmonics.
If you are planning to use the Tweed '57 just to shape your overall tone, I like the gain at minimum, because, it just colors the signal and leaves you to stack any pedal before, as if you were playing in front a Tweed.
That broken cleans sound as heaven and are very dynamic and responsive to your picking technique.
Pedal cleans really nice with your guitar's knob, specially in normal and bright channels and, not so good in the linked option. This allows you to work a la old school and therefore, setting your Tweed pedal to the maximum gain you will need and, regulate the break up level with the help of your guitar's knob, in a way quite similar as you'd do in a real amp of that time.
Last tone shaping control that Brian implemented is the Input Simulator. Most of Tweed amps had two channels (with a pair of inputs each one), that were named Normal and Bright. The behaviour and particular voice of such a channels is being reproduced in this pedal unit so, they make a clear difference when you switch the Input Simulator to one or the other.
Finally, a very common practice those days was to jumper both channels together (by example, from input 2 of normal channel to input 1 of bright channel) so you've got a thicker and complexer voice. This is being reproduced with the Linked option of the Input Simulator.
So, you have there all the tools to achieve your wanted Tweed sound and, now, you know how controls were planned to work to get the right results.
Do this pedal achieve Tweed sounds?.
I cannot really answer that, since all tweeds I've heard were owned by others and, even that you can hear those in lots of recordings, you know that studio work masks the real thing so, I really don't know.
What I can say is that this pedal sounds purely awesome (once you understand how it works) and, it delivers wonderful sounds and, leaves my to get the Tweed I have in my mind (that shouldn't necessarily be your Tweed!).
The Video
The sound is better to hear than to explain. This video discusses a bit what was already discussed above in the blog entry and, starts demoing how he different controls help to achieve the tone, as described above.
Finally, an small channel by channel comparison.
It's around 30 mins long so, get your pop corns a beer, relax, push the volume button and watch it or, leave it for when you have time.

And thanx for a great review!
How well does wampler tweed 57 work with Vox night train NT15 (or other el84 based amps)?
All the best
No worries.Delete
The NT is one of those amps that takes well any pedal.
I didn't find a pedal that didn't worked with the NT.
The Tweed '57 works flawless there.
Not to be mean but it's hard to understand why this Pedal confused you so much. I find it hard to get a bad sound. It's very easy for me. The controls are simple and work good in any settings.Delete
Thanx man,ReplyDelete
I have another question!
Do you have any experience with Lovepedal high power tweed twin? In that case, how does it compare to Wampler tweed 57? Is Lovepedal perhaps more rigdependant than Wampler, considering all the tweaking options that Wampler provides. But many people swear on Lovepedal having the more authentic and much sweeter tweed tone than Wampler. You see, since I play though a 15w amp (Vox nt15 modded with and EHX 12ay7 in V1 and Ei 12ax7 in V2 and 2 Mullard El84 reissue in V3 and V4) with master volume pushed all the way up to push those Mullards and preamp gain knob on about 9 a cklock just to have that slightly dirty sound. However, there's not much headroom left here so I am afraid that an additional OD pedal without enough gain range might just turn out to be a bit too much, behaving almost like a high gain pedal. At this time the dirt pedals I have in my pedal-chain are: a Vox Cooltron Duel OD, a Vox valve-tone v810, an ehx germanium OD, a Visual Sound Truetone boost, an earthquake devices hoof, an dwarfcraft devices shiva fuzz, an ampeg scrambler reissue and also a mini-mod fuzzer - and they're ALL set near to minimum gain and still each one can push my amp fairly strong into overdrive. (I only sometimes stack one or two for a particular flavour but too much stacking easily results in uncontrollable distortion mayhem). I guess what I want to avoid is acquiring a tweed pedal that only can do a cranked tweed sound. But still I don't want to compromise with the authenticity of desired tweed sound, If you know what I mean? What are your thoughts on this?
Will you please be kind and reason with me a bit on this one?
I appologize for being lengthy. I'm just tryin' to help you help me.
Kindest regards!
I have no experience with the Lovepedal take of tweed sound.Delete
Nails the Wampler the tone?. Honestly, I don't know.
Does it matter?. It doesn't, is a sweet pedal, all the way, with high tweakability.
My experience with Lovepedals is that they are one trick pony, doing very well what they should do but, doesn't have great possibilities to modify that signature sound.
The Wampler is so sweet as the Mad Professor's Sweet Honey overdrive, with higher tweakability and, in my book, worked perfectly with Marshall DSL50, Fender Princeton Reverb RI and Vox NT.
The issue you are having with the NT is due to your pre-amp configuration, IMHO. I know the 12AY7 will let you closer to a tweed than a 12AX7 BUT, sound and headroom are compromised then.
If you have the chance, please try the following:
1) a couple of Mullard 12AX7 reissues in V1 and V2.
2) a Mullard 12AX7 RI in V1, a NOS JAN/Philips 5751 in V2.
Then, you would be able to run the amp clean or in the break-up sweet spot, at higher volumes and, with richer sound.
That couple of Mullard 12AX7 RI in pre-amp together with those Mullard EL84 RI in your power amp will do Magic, believe it!.
Great, thnx man - and thank yoy for the advice!ReplyDelete

If only the government ran on the Disneyland model
The hybrid rental car was moving in tortoise mode through LA traffic, tracking toward Disneyland, "The happiest place on Earth."
"Are we there yet?" Really, did I just say that?
A child of the 1950s, I daydreamed about the wondrous rides and attractions of that magic kingdom. Would Disneyland live up to my expectations, including past experience, and the glow of advertising?
Or, like the other Washington, bursting at the seams with dashed promises, would I be disappointed in Fantasyland? Oh, how could I tarnish my Disneyland dreams with thoughts of D.C.
Expectations, we all have them; we dream dreams, make life decisions, and even cast our votes based on them, hopefully supported by fact and validated with outcomes. Where are the promised, shining outcomes of this administration, advertised as being rooted in truth and integrity?
Serving the people and supporting the Constitution has faded in Washington, D.C., lost in the shadows of scandal and a fog called transparency. Unfortunately, what you see is what you get.
As we parked the car in the Donald Duck section, I noticed dozens of strollers being wheeled toward the promising lights of the Disneyland entrance. If I had kids in tow, as I did the first time I visited the park, would it, and all my souvenirs, remain safely stowed while we jumped on a Teacup?
Or, like the expanded National Security Agency surveillance program, would my personal stuff be captured without cause, ripe for the abuse of my privacy?
Would the streets, restrooms and restaurants of Disneyland be squeaky clean? Or be gritty and grimy, reminiscent of the political milieu that sidesteps their role in changing the talking points around Benghazi, oh, so close to the presidential election.
And then there is the dirty environment that steadfastly defends the Justice Department and all its scandals.
Would Disney cast members refrain from heavy sighing and instead give scrupulous directions when asked for the hundredth time, "Where is the nearest restroom?" Seems the IRS grew weary of processing applications for tax exempt status from groups bearing a conservative name. More than poor customer service from rogue employees, I wonder how the election would have turned out if ...
The victory speech in 2008 promised we could tell our children, "This was the moment where the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal." I didn't get caught up in the pomp and less-than-circumspect hype. What would it have been based on? Aside from my belief in limited government, where was the tangible experience, any record of achievements, or display of leadership to support the lofty promises?
The moment passed to a now-second term of incompetence and duplicity, with a reliance on tactics that divide us. Supporters hover, creating veils of protection, spinning and parsing words that neither commit, nor admit. But, the administration cannot be dismissed as being unaware, or devoid of culpability — culture, as with guilt, begins, or ends, at the top.
Ah, but there's always the worn-out brush-off, "There's no smoking gun." An expression brandished about to diminish accountability as it relates to Benghazi, NSA spying, the IRS mess, and the Justice Department debacles. For those seeking the truth, we're on a scary ride.
There is hope. Disneyland, rides and all, did not disappoint. The streets were sparkly clean, and those serving the public at every level, from janitors to princesses, were up to anyone's expectations. All the strollers stashed with mementos were safe.
Disneyland is where integrity still reigns, everyone expects it, and everyone, including visitors, bring their good manners along, living up to the ideal around them.
Other than the wild rides, this administration isn't Disneyland, but some examples could be followed. There's only one "Happiest place on Earth," and it's not the other Washington.

Harvard tiny houses turn into a big hit
Unless you've been living under a rock, chances are you've heard of the tiny house movement -- people ditching their indulgent lives and significantly reducing their square footage.
For those unsure if they're cut out for confined living, a Harvard startup project has built two opportunities to try the lifestyle on for size.
SEE ALSO: Last Titanic lunch menu, saved by survivor, going to auction
About two hours outside of Boston, on secluded land, Getaway is renting out 160 sq. ft. cabins for people looking to escape their larger living quarters and disconnect.
"Part of the attraction is the digital detox and affordable opportunity to recharge and reconnect with people rather than things," founder Jon Staff of the Harvard Business School told the Huffington Post.
Take a peek inside:

The second cabin and newest addition "the Lorraine" sold out five months of weekends in a day. Staff says there has been tremendous interest from all over the world and Getaway is working on expanding further.

text: I must confess that I don't know much about these little guys (maybe about 1cm long) but they are quite fun to watch up close in the garden. This one seemed to start displaying to my camera by tilting its wings from side to side as I zoomed in, and even jumped onto the lens to get better acquainted. Beautiful colours and patterns, and they can jump like they have jets in their little legs!

The fujifilm X100F is nearly flawless for its intended uses. This camera is the real fucking deal here folks. It may not be the "all time greatest" compact mirrorless camera, but it is the second best of all time, behind a certain Leica camera I will not mention by name…
Many of us have been shooting with DSLR's, and though they perform very well and are ubiquitous, a lot of times we wish we had something equally as powerful but a hell of a lot smaller. I'm a street photographer. I shot with a Canon 70D and then a 5d Mark III in the streets. This was great as far as autofocus speed and lens choices are concerned, but those are some big bitches, those cameras. Coupled with a 135L and then the 50 1.2L…it was a chore to carry those kits around. It got to a point where I didn't want to do it anymore. I was like: fuck it, I need something smaller.
Smaller historically has mostly meant "image quality compromise" when it comes to camera selection. For example, the image quality available from a huge $50k Hasselblad will be better (in theory) than the image quality I can get from a Nikon D750 (nothing against the D750). This is due to the sensor size (medium format vs full frame) of course. When looking at camera choices, I immediately realized that even though I wanted something powerful, I needed to go as small as possible if I was going to actually use this new camera every day and not just when I felt like it. That was my first consideration: I wanted to buy a camera (or camera system, more on that later) that I would actually carry with me everywhere I travel daily. A secondary thought when making that consideration was whether or not I wanted a "point and shoot" style unibody, or did I want a small camera system with small lenses, such as those expensive cameras and lenses the Germans make. This consideration took a few months to sort through.
The next consideration was price. A camera too cheap will be so inferior to my Canon system that I will feel buyers remorse, and a camera that is too expensive will be like carrying a huge diamond with me in public. I'd be paranoid about losing it and would dread having to replace it. Don't let people bullshit you: price is definitely a factor in these decisions and not just the "can you afford it?" calculation. The proper way to express that calculation is: can you easily afford to replace it?
So I decided to get the Fuji X100F here, and made a big fucking deal of it, as if my decisions matter in the scheme of the planet. With no further bullshit…here is my review!
Image Quality:
Let me cut to the chase. The image quality from this cameras is very very good. I totally prefer the X100F jpegs over the jpegs coming out of my Canon 5d Mark III. These Fuji jpegs are superb. As of this blog entry Adobe hasn't updated camera RAW so I can't process RAW files in Lightroom without doing a bunch of bullshit workarounds. Fuck that. I'll wait.
Are there some issues that suck about the images I get from this camera? Maybe. Really it's an issue with Fuji X-Tran sensor cameras in general, and is summed up in three words: waxy skin jpegs. That's it. Other than the fact that at higher ISO's (above 800), white people look like they are made of plastic when you shoot color jpegs, there are no issues to speak of.
Notice I'm leaving out specs here. Fuck specs. The camera has an APS-C sensor and around 24 megapixels of resolution. If you want more specs then google them.
The high ISO performance of this camera is pretty good to my eyes, with fine grain appearing prevalent around 6400 or so. The grain (which can be included or excluded artificially) from this camera is decisively unlike the color crazy "noise" you get from your run of the mill DSLR at higher ISO.
You can hand-hold this little fucker to about 1/60 with no problems and get images that are crazy sharp. The camera doesn't have image stabilization, like that unmentioned Leica does, but mirrorless cameras don't have a slapping mirror to complicate the process and work against the hand-hold-ability of the camera using slower shutter speeds.
The camera has a noise reduction engine which is weirdly cranked up by default. I suggest turning it down (to between -1 to -4) before you take your first jpeg photo.
One of the coolest features in the history of digital cameras is the film simulations offered by Fuji cameras (including their new GFX medium format camera). These simulations are sublime. I use ACROS, which is a contrasty black-and-white sim. Most people use ACROS and the faded color look called Classic Chrome (and by most people I mean everybody)….
Bottom line is: if you have a big ass DSLR and are afraid switching to Fuji will hurt your Instagram follower count… it wont. Buy the camera. You'll be fine…..
Build and Handling:
When the pretty counter-girl at Service Photo in Baltimore handed me the Fuji X100F box on February 23rd 2017, I stood there stunned at how miniature the camera was once I unboxed it. The camera is TINY. My iPhone 6S+ is both wider and longer than the X100F. My iPhone doesn't weigh more though. The X100F is meaty, and holding it betrays the fact that the intended use for this camera is heavy street and travel work. There is a lot of tech packed into this little weapon, and you can feel it when you hold it. I opted for the all black version, but it also comes in hipster-grey, or whatever it's called. Regardless of color scheme choice, the camera itself is an analog throwback celebration of dials and switches, but is as well the peak of modernity with its glass LCD screen and high-tech hybrid viewfinder (more on that in the autofocus portion).
The lens, which I have not mentioned until now, is the same lens that has been on this model of camera since its inception with the original X100 (or at least the X100S). In my opinion the lens is fine. Pinned against the body is a 1/3 of a stop clicking sliver of an aperture ring that is thrilling to turn. Next, and I have to say this: that "control ring" is some bullshit. It spins too freely and is wasted in jpeg-only mode, where it controls stuff like the built in teleconverter (35, 50, and 70mm options–all at 24mp) and lets you choose between the film simulation modes, in addition to two other options I cant remember. Enabling Fine (jpeg) + RAW disables these annoying choices and returns the control ring to its intuitive function of being a focus ring. In Fine + Jpeg the control ring is also a parallax correction ring, when you are shooting stuff that is very close.
The camera comes with a strap which I will never use. I got one of those trendy rope straps instead. If anybody wants a free Fuji strap then hit me up (I'm lying).
I am a bit confused as to how to affix a 49mm clear filter on the front of this puppy. Thats the filter size. The X100F comes with a lens cap that pops on and off and looks terribly awesome.
This may be the best looking camera on the market today. There are simply no bad angles about this camera.
Handling is fine unless your phallus beaters are particularly large. The button layout on the back of the camera is a bit tight on the right side, and some users have complained about the placement of the Q button. It's also easy as fuck to bump the exposure compensation dial off the zero setting, so be mindful of that as you toss the little camera about.
That Leica camera I promised not to mention is fast as shit to attain focus and fire. I tested it and was blown away. Amazingly, this little Fuji is almost as fast if not equally so. It's quick. I can use one hand to attain focus, fire with professional precision, and keep it moving all in less than a second and a half. The camera does take a nervous second or two to wake up, but I have a feeling this has more to do with the time it takes the "eye detection" function of the viewfinder to kick in than actual wake-up time. I probably just need more practice with this particular camera. My number one personal focus is speed.
There are the standard modes of autofocus. Continuous, Single shot, and Manual. Choose whichever one you prefer. I refrain from the continuous shot mode because, honestly, I shoot Canon and these little mirrorless jobs are not on that level yet as far as tracking swiftly moving subjects are concerned. This isn't a sports camera by any means, but it can nail a shot here or there of something in fast motion that will surprise you.
Shot out to the ambassador of Street Photography Eric Kim. That guy. The more I get into this street photography thing, and become a God at it, the more I realize that kid knows exactly what the fuck he's talking about. In this case I'm speaking about using the LCD to shoot. With a Canon 5d Mark III, it isn't practical to use the LCD to shoot. It's possible but not practical. With this Fuji X100F I use the LCD by default. It's fast and brilliant. I'm in my car and I see something and BAM. I can shoot it without having to guess or manually switch shooting/viewing modes. I see the final exposure right there on the screen. Now I see why many shooters go for the Ricoh GR.
As for the viewfinder, here is where novelty meets practicality. The EVF I would rate as average. It doesn't seem as fast or nice as the one in that Leica camera, but it does the job well. There is a bit of a lag though, but it is a practical and useful EVF. The OVF function is very nice, but it seems sort of novel and unreliable as far as your certainty of nailing focus. It's addictive though, and is great to use for we Canon/Nikon monkeys who already know how a photo will turn out exposure-wise because of our settings. I'd say the OVF is more for advanced photographers and the EVF is the easier viewfinder mode to use, just slower. I use the OVF and the LCD, for the record….
The AEL/AFL button is maybe an 8th of an inch too far to the left. It works fine if back button focus is your thing. I said I would start using a half-shutter press once I got this camera and that's what I have been doing. I use 100% back button focus on my Canon. You can set the AFL to any of maybe 8 buttons on the X100F, so no need to fret if your hands are poorly sized for this camera. If you got those Donald Trump sized hands though you'll be fine…
What is that?
Battery and Storage:
The X100F has one SD slot. The card slot is sketchy to me (it gave me an error the FIRST time I tried to reinsert my SD card after dumping images with my card reader) so now I tend to upload images using the USB cable. It comes with a charger, the camera does. You can also charge the battery using the USB cable by plugging the camera up to a computer or any USB charger, which is super fucking dope awesome. This camera takes the same battery as the X-Pro2 and the X-T2. You get maybe 300-400 shots on one charge. Not bad really. I have 2 batteries but have yet to need the second one. If I were using this camera for a wedding (as a 2nd body) I'd likely have maybe 3 batteries and one in the clip, totaling 4.
The Fujifilm X100F costs $1299 new. You get a lens already anchored to the body. That's important. You see, guys like me with GAS would buy 6 lenses if the X100F didn't have a lens already rooted onto the front of it. This is important as it takes much of your temptation away. To this day I randomly log into Amazon to look at cameras before realizing I don't really need anything……
In this price range? The Ricoh GR reportedly has better image quality and is cheaper to boot. No viewfinder though. More expensive? That Leica camera and the Sony RX cameras are luxury greatness. Other than that you have to get a whole new camera system and scout for lenses and troll over DXO lens sharpness tests and all that bullshit. With a compact camera all you have to do is shoot.
Buy the goddamn camera.

A day at the hospital
The AMC (Amsterdam Medical Center) hospital in Amsterdam South East is home to one of the Netherlands largest and busiest hospitals with more than 3.5 million vehicular movements per year. The AMC is a university, hospital, and research facilities in one complex. On a daily basis the AMC has about 15,000 visitors, of which 2,300 students, 4,700 patients and 8,000 employees. The complex covers over 125,000 m2 of floor space spread out over more than 20 buildings, 450,000 patients per year and room for 1,000 beds. The complex was complete in 1984 in the then 'brutalist architecture' style, and because of it's age the main entrance to the AMC and the route from bus and metro stations to the entrance is so dilapidated and run down that it is not functioning properly and no longer safe. The vision begins with the idea of a park campus concept that extends its connections from not only the station to the entrance but also the entrance to the surrounding business and housing neighborhoods literally as an 'open hand.' The ambition is for a well forested and greener area without borders and obstacles that can create qualitative meeting and resting areas for patients, staff, and students. Added to this is a new representative and transparent entrance building as the 'traffic heart' for pedestrians, cyclists, public transport, cars, taxis, and ambulances.
Location: Amsterdam, NL
Year: 2015
Status: Urban Vision
Site: 12 ha
Program: 1.200 m2 entrance building, 350 parking places, 250 bicycle storage, 2.5a park space with leisure functions and cafes
Client: AMC, Amsterdam

On Tuesday, the Lakers waived forward Shawne Williams, but not before he earned $475,334.
The Lakers now have 14 players on the roster, one below the league maximum.
Including three waived players (Chris Duhon, Elias Harris and Williams), the team's total salary this season is $78,934,933. The Lakers will also pay a luxury tax penalty to the league, in the neighborhood of $11.3 million.
Injuries have derailed what was a promising start to the season. At 14-21, the Lakers are paying approximately $90.2 million in payroll and taxes -- for a 13th-place team in the Western Conference.
With Kobe Bryant (knee), Steve Nash (back), Steve Blake (elbow), Jordan Farmar (hamstring) and Xavier Henry (knee) all sidelined, the five injured Lakers represent $45.8 million in salary.
The Philadelphia 76ers are paying their active 14-man roster a total of $42.1 million.
Bryant, the NBA's highest-paid player, can almost match the 76ers by himself at $30.5 million
By cutting Williams, the Lakers saved about $1.1 million in salary and luxury tax.

Some odds and end while wondering when Mack Brown decided that "running up the score" is kosher...
*The best part about hearing Dave Lapham's douche-ridden blathering at noon on a Saturday? It means he won't be gracing the OU game telecast with his IQ-deficient analysis this evening.
*You know it's the early games when you're toggling between Houston-Central Florida and Northwestern-Illinois.
*Robert Smith and Todd McShay made a pretty good argument earlier for Case Keenum as a legitimate Heisman Trophy candidate. I'd certainly put him in the mix. I honestly think Toby Gerhardt could put himself in the lead for the award if Stanford knocks off USC at the Coliseum tonight.
My top five, in no particular order: Keenum, Gerhardt, Jerry Hughes, Kellen Moore, Mark Ingram.
*This may go without saying, but Michigan's defense is horrible. Remember when that Michigan-Notre Dame game earlier this season was supposedly a big deal?
*Man, Texas is really clicking right now–the defense is flat-out nasty. The Longhorns are playing at a level that I don't think Florida or Alabama have hit yet. However, I still think the Gators are tops when playing at their peak.
*Have you seen the beef jerky commercial where Sasquatch throws the chump into the pond with one hand? I love it.
*How does Ralph Friedgen still have a job? I'm not just talking about a job as a head coach; I mean anything football-related.
*The four-point line in Houston-UCF looked odd, and now we know why. George O'Leary will do whatever it takes to get the job, er, done, and his scrappy Knights are taking care of business today, leading 37-20 in the fourth quarter before a half-full house in Orlando.
Fun fact: UCF is 0-22 all time against ranked opponents.
*Everyone seems to think Cal handles Arizona tonight. What am I missing? I realize the Golden Bears have played the tougher schedule so far, but they haven't handled it all that well.
*What a debut for EJ Manuel.
*That number in Ohio State-Iowa seems extraordinarily high. On the other hand, last weekend, the Hawkeyes' second-string QB looked like the worst backup since Papke replaced Paul Blake at Texas State. I can just see the kid screaming at the refs while being chased by a couple mammoth Buckeyes, "Blow the whistle!"

Our vision
Jesus told us to pass on his lifestyle. This is why we focus on discipling new people. Jesus invested most of his time in twelve men and gave them the task to reach the world. In a few generations, people felt their positive influence in dozens of major cities, all the way to Rome.
Today the only way to reach a global audience with the Gospel in one generation is to multiply disciples. The Bible tells us to invest in people who are able to train others: Share these teachings with people you can trust. Then they will be able to teach others these same things. (2 Timothy 2:2 ERV) This is the way to go!
The first time God spoke to man, he talked about multiplication. Jesus called ordinary fishermen to change the world through multiplication of disciples. You can teach the next person and they do the same. When we learn something new, we do it – and pass it on. One step at a time, anyone can learn how to be a disciple maker!
Let's see how we can do these 3 things:
video: the big task Jesus gave us
video: family with a mission
1. Your story
2. The gospel
3. God's ABC
What do we teach new believers?
Babies need milk.
New Christians need what the Bible calls the basic teaching about Jesus - God's ABC. Hebrews 6:1-2. This teaching makes them grow up and enables them to train others.
God's ABC is about knowing Jesus.
In Hebrew 6:1-2 we find a list of subjects that the author calls the elementary teachings about Christ. The Book of Acts shows us how to help new believers take these steps.

77 Years ago this week the Prime Minister of Great Britain, Winston Churchill delivered a speech to their House of Commons remembered as the 'We Shall Fight' speech. You may remember this speech from your history classes but you may not remember that it was in response to the 'Miracle at Dunkirk.'
In late May and early June 1940 over 300,000 British, French, Belgian and Canadian troops were surrounded by a massive German force in and around the French port of Dunkirk. They were low on ammunition, almost out of food and the British Navy lacked the sealift capability to rescue even a small percent of the stranded. The entire British Expeditionary Force was about to be destroyed. Imagine the bravery of the British Navy and Merchant Mariners risking everything to rescue this force…now think back to your history lessons and you may remember the other force that made the 'Miracle' possible… If you said, everyday Brits, civilians, amateur boaters, or fisherman then you remember your history. That's right, British civilians went to sea, into war-ravaged waters in every imaginable type of watercraft and rescued their soldiers and allies. The greatest defeat in British military history was averted largely through the actions of the last minute civilian volunteers.
In his speech to the House of Commons on that day in June, 1940 Churchill declared:
…we shall prove ourselves once again able to defend our island home, to ride out the storm of war, and to outlive the menace of tyranny, if necessary for years, if necessary alone. At any rate, that is what we are going to try to do. That is the resolve of His Majesty's Government – every man of them. That is the will of Parliament and the nation.
The British Empire and the French Republic, linked together in their cause and in their need, will defend to the death their native soil, aiding each other like good comrades to the utmost of their strength. Even though large tracts of Europe and many old and famous States have fallen or may fall into the grip of the Gestapo and all the odious apparatus of Nazi rule, we shall not flag or fail. We shall go on to the end, we shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be.
We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender…
It's with great sadness that we realize in 77 short years elements of Her Majesty's government has a different approach to those who would subjugate our British cousins. This approach is called Run, Hide, Tell and is counter-terrorism policy at both the local and national levels.
Now don't get me wrong. There are times when running, hiding and telling are the appropriate responses to violence but those are not the only appropriate responses. The British Expeditionary Force 'ran' from certain defeat in 1940 so that they could return better prepared to fight and eventually defeat the fascists. When confronted with those determined to kill or enslave us, we must be willing to fight. We saw the differences between these two approaches on 9/11/01. For decades we'd been schooled as a populace to be non-confrontational and wait for negotiation or rescue when confronted by hijackers. Three planes full of civilians likely followed that advice and stood by while their planes were used as weapons against important financial and military targets…but that fourth plane, Flight 93 held brave souls who were armed with nothing more than the knowledge of what had happened to the other hijacked flights. These hardy souls didn't follow their training… they determined that they could no longer Run, Hide, & Tell…they fought back and by fighting back they saved untold numbers of their fellow citizens.
Toward the end of my military career the Department of Defense came out with a policy not much different than Run, Hide & Tell. The warriors I served with and I resolved never to abandon the option to fight. One of the few fates that I can conceive of worse than becoming a murder victim…is being an accomplice to your own demise or, through my inactions, allowing others to die. To paraphrase a great orator: We shall fight in the streets and alleys, we shall fight in the halls and the work places, we shall fight in the markets and we shall fight in the halls of government when confronted by those determined to suppress us under the odious apparatus of Sharia law or any other form of fascism.

Do something… Hiding, or sitting back, is not going to accomplish anything. And the gunman would've been successful if my friend Spencer had not gotten up. So I just want that lesson to be learned going forward, in times of, like, terror like that, please do something. Don't just stand by and watch.

For his warrior spirit and frankly for ignoring DOD policies that tell service members to hide and barricade themselves during an active shooter situation, Airman Stone along with National Guardsman Alek Skarlatos, their longtime friend Anthony Sadler and British businessman Chris Norman are the latest inductees into Prepography's Wall of Honor.
Secretary of State John Kerry says that there is less violence than usual in the world right now. Meanwhile the Director of National Intelligence, James Clapper, says the opposite, that terrorism is more violent and dangerous than ever. Since Clapper is Director of National Intelligence, maybe Kerry should have the title Director of National Stupidity.

So, on this Feast of Stephen, spare a thought not only for the leftovers in the fridge, but for the driven, kidnapped, enslaved, raped, tortured and murdered Christians our sloth and scorn have left to a hell on earth.
LTC Ralph Peters via The feast of Stephen: Middle East's persecuted Christians need our help
If you only read one article this week… read Colonel Peter's piece on the state of Christianity in the Middle East. If you aren't familiar with Peters he's an enlisted soldier turned Military Intelligence officer who left the Army in order be able to write candidly about it. I was introduced to Peters as a young Captain by one of my military mentors.
Our objective is clear: We will degrade, and ultimately destroy, ISIL through a comprehensive and sustained counter-terrorism strategy…
President Barack Obama via TheBlaze.com
Andrew's Note: The fact that the President has promised that 'no American combat troops will be deployed' as part of our 'comprehensive and sustained counter-terrorism strategy' must have our adversaries shaking in their sandals and our friends in the region questioning our commitment. I'm not ready to go back to war, but the option of deploying troops should never be taken off the table.
I continue to be much more concerned when it comes to our security with the prospect of a nuclear weapon going off in Manhattan.

I write about things that are important for us as Americans. I'm concerned about al-Qaeda sneaking across the border with the illegal immigrants that are using the coyotes to get across the border. And that's not a Democrat or Republican issue, that's a national security issue.

Are we ready for a biological attack or biological terrorism? That's the question asked by the infographic we're featuring today. Biological weapons are just evil! There's also an interesting historical rundown of biological attacks through history included. Wait until you see what the Spanish did to the French while they were fighting each other in Italy in 1495!
The idea of reasoning with terrorists without force or with appeasement is naive, and I think it's dangerous.

We disabled watch those who love us working to take care of us until they are exhausted. EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. We watch their financial sacrifices, and watch their enjoyment of life drain from their tired eyes. The more and more dependent we get on them, the more we think "they could have a better life without me." We love them and want that for them, especially if they are also getting older, feeling arthritis, experiencing heart disease, depression or other health concerns of their own.
Ever thought God also gives us the will to continue or the courage to die? The choice to keep fighting beyond physical, mental, spiritual exhaustion, or the courage to free one's loved one's from debt, struggle and the same kind of exhaustion? It just might be cruel to deny this woman the peace she seeks for herself.
I speak as one whose life has eroded from beneath her feet for decades. My career. My dreams of motherhood. The respect of people who knew me but not my disease. Suffered the contempt of people who do not know me and do not know my disease; managing to find the love within myself that made it impossible to wish they suffer this one day.
I still fight to make the most of every day, , to find, create, as much joy and laughter to buoy my own heart and those of others, to do as much as I can for myself, for others, for the world, for love. I admit that I am growing increasingly less willing to fight as my abilities continue to erode, as it becomes increasingly difficult to make even the tiniest of dreams come true, and most of all, as I see the stress my beloved husband undergoes every day. I die by breaths, but the amount of time I can hang on, long after I can do nothing for myself or others, stupefies me.
I am not there yet. Yet I see my future, with all its pain, and I do not wish that on my husband. Some day I will be where Marie is, and anyone who stands in my way does not know the first thing about loving others as we love ourselves.
My prayer is that Marie and the Irish courts find the wisdom to break free of medieval views on death and suicide. I'm amazed that any Christian who looks to heaven can willingly insist that someone with no will to live any longer MUST suffer and make suffering for the ones they love until some "critical" body part wears out.
I could not say I love anyone that I made endure suffering: physical, emotional, mental. If you think you can confront God and say "I kept her from killing herself so you could decide when," don't be surprised if He says "I loved her enough to let her decide when she could stand no more, and you didn't love her enough to let her go." Cause the God I believe in would say just that. I hope the Irish courts know that God.

Back by popular demand! Ochre House Theater Presents
PICASSO: MATADOR DE MÁLAGA written and directed by Matthew Posey
Embark on a journey into the rich mind of Pablo Picasso, one of the 20th century's most iconic and famous painters. With a mind filled with Saints, Monsters and Lovers, Picasso was driven to express his unique view of the world into a new form and style of painting that changed the face of art. His inspiration came from the vibrant world around him. He was tortured by the loss of his little sister from cholera as a child, but from his adventures from Málaga to Paris and around the world, and from his torrid love affairs and marriages, Picasso read the world as a Matador reads the movement of a Bull. World class Flamencos, Antonio Arrebola (Bailaor) and Delilah Arrebola (Bailaora), Alfonso Cid (Cantaor), Calvin Hazen (Guitarrista), and an incredible ensemble of some of the best actors in Dallas, create a visual and aural feast of vignettes that paint the unforgettable life force of the true Matador of Málaga, Pablo Picasso.
Opening Night ~Please join us for a catered reception after the show. 6.20.18.

Why Organic Beauty Therapy?
At Sunshine For The Soul – Beauty Therapy & Organic Skincare – we believe there is nothing more beautiful than nature. Organic products are free from synthetic fragrance, parabens, GM modified products, PEGs, Sodium Laurel Sulphate, Petroleum & Mineral Oils.
Clean Living
If you are considering clean living by improving your lifestyle, diet and choosing your food more carefully to reduce the amount of synthetic chemicals ingested via your mouth – what about your skin?
As the body's largest organ, your skin has the ability to absorb cosmetics – some in tiny amounts and some can reach the blood vessels below the skin and can be transported around the body.
The reality is that cleansing, moisturising and deodorising rituals can mean a cocktail of hundreds of different synthetic chemicals being applied to the skin on a daily basis. We are absorbing a vast array of new synthetic chemicals in beauty products – most of which have not had long term full testing on humans. It's the cumulative effect and layering of these toxins that causes greatest concern.
At the same time allergies and skin disorders and diseases such as eczema and cancers are increasing.
The following link is to The Environmental Working Group. They are a non-profit, non-partisan organisation dedicated to protecting human health and the environment.
EWG created Skin Deep a cosmetics database so that you could make safer choice about personal care products for you and your family. It lists unbiased toxicity ratings on all the major brands.
Organic products are free from synthetic fragrance, parabens, GM modified products, PEGs, Sodium Laurel Sulphate, Petroleum & Mineral Oils.
These are the certified organic symbols to look out for so you know your product is truly organic.

Seduced & Ensnared
Magical Seduction | Book Three
Etruscan Magic World Reading Order
Amazon Barnes & Noble Kobo ibooks GOOGLEPLAY
Etruscan linchetto Cam de Feo is ruthless, determined to keep his magical family safe at all costs. Stella Palmer is a means to an end—nothing more. He will seduce her then use her to trap her evil uncle. He never expected to fall for the beauty.
For Stella, Cam is the right man for a white-hot one-night stand. But in the bright light of day, she realizes he has much more to offer than great sex. While the dark forces of the Mal threaten, family secrets will be revealed and Stella will discover a hidden world—filled with love and magic
Amazon Barnes & Noble Kobo ibooks GOOGLEPLAY
Read an excerpt ...
By reading any further, you are stating that you are at least 18 years of age. If you are under the age of 18, stop here.
Stella couldn't believe she was actually going to follow a man she'd only just met back to his home—for the sole purpose of having sex.
She'd given her bodyguard the rest of the night off, telling him she was going to head straight home to bed. He hadn't argued, probably because he had a new girlfriend he was anxious to meet. And she'd never done anything like this before.
As she made her way to the underground parking garage, she made a halfhearted attempt to talk herself out of going to Cam's. But by the time she unlocked the door of her BMW M6 coupé and slid behind the wheel, her sweaty palms and shortness of breath made up her mind for her.
She hadn't been this excited about a man since…well, since never. And it felt good.
Thinking about what his naked body would feel like against hers made her sex weep. She revved the engine, letting the tires spin for a second before they grabbed and shot her forward. Driving was the one absolute joy in her life and she took every opportunity to do it fast and dangerous.
Kind of like tonight's rendezvous.
With a smile on her face, she downshifted around the corner with her foot on the accelerator and popped off the seat at least a few inches as she exited the garage. As the sports car screeched to a halt in front of the building, she looked around for Cam.
The roar of a well-tuned engine drew her gaze to the muscular Viper in the lot. Yeah, that suited him.
Making his way out of the aboveground parking lot, he stopped next to her and lowered the passenger window while she lowered her driver's window.
"Nice car," he said.
She let her grin loose, liking the way his gaze narrowed and intensified. "I like them fast."
She would have finished with "Like my men," but didn't want to give Cam a completely wrong impression of her.
Of course she'd agreed to go to his house with him—after they'd talked for what had seemed like forever but could only have been an hour at most. He probably already thought she was easy.
But she was no pushover.
"Want to show me how fast?" His smile returned and his gaze shone with a competitive light.
Bring it on. She was ready for anything he could dish out. "A race? You'll need to give me your address, because once I blow you away, I'll need to know where to go."
His smile intensified. Holy hell, she'd thought his other smiles had been devastating. This one blew the roof off those. It made her thighs clench and she swore she might have started to orgasm.
"110 Spook Lane, Reading. The entrance to the driveway is a little hard to find in the dark. But don't worry, you'll be following me all the way."
She repeated the address for the onboard navigation system. "I wouldn't be too sure about that, Cam."
Then she stepped on the gas pedal and let the Beemer leap out ahead of the Viper. Exhilaration whipped around her with the wind that came in through the open window as she sped down the road to the exit.
The company was located in the country to the northwest of the city. The quickest way to get to Cam's home would be to take Route 78 to Route 183. Then it was straight into the city. Provided she didn't run into any cops—which she'd make sure didn't happen.
The Beemer hugged the curves as she raced for the entrance ramp to the highway. In her rearview mirror, she saw the Viper right on her tail.
A jolt of electricity shot through her, a feeling unlike any she'd had before. It felt like…freedom. And it felt good.
Reaching the open freeway, she pressed the pedal to the floor and cranked the stereo.
My Chemical Romance's "Dead!" blared from the speakers, Ray Toro's guitar propelling the rock song to near-operatic heights.
She'd never felt more alive in her life.

Review: Revue
Revue review Hospital
Check out the full review here: http://therevue.ca/2016/10/01/saturday-sampler-october-1st/
""Hospital" is the result of lead vocalist Joe Carroll surviving that nasty tumble. With its jangly intro interspersed with hospital PA sound clips, the song makes you feel like a first-person witness to the event. The band's sound is tight and lively, with the energy of Total Life Forever-era Foals. The band have been together since 2005, so it's a wonder the world has taken so long to notice their talent. This single (and the previously released "No, You're a Rabbit") proves that Heroes in Hiding are an emerging band with a bright future – provided they don't risk life and limb to find inspiration for their future songs!"
Review: TLMT
The Last Mix Tape: Hospital Review
Thank you to The Last Mix Tape for their kind words!
"Hospital' is a song filled with great vivid rhythm. The latest offering from indie outfit Heroes In Hiding, the track finds the group once again expanding the boundaries of their music.
The inclusion of found sound elements to Heroes In Hiding sound gives their indie-pop sound a hint of Public Service Broadcasting-esque (specifically The Race for Space) post-rock ambition, making 'Hospital' all the more engrossing whilst also keeping the hooks and melodic lushness in tact."

BBC - Across the Line make Hospital their Track of the day!
Thank you to BBC Ulster for adding Hospital to their plalist and also making it their Track of the Day!
"They say:
"The song originated both musically and lyrically from a bad accident I had a few months back. Thankfully I was ok but had to spend a couple of nights in hospital. A nurse was tending to a patient in the bed next to me and used a machine that made two harmonious tones. I used my phone to record this noise and other noises in the hours that followed and upon my return home, used them as the basis for the song. Musically the song is heavily influenced by the likes of Bombay Bicycle Club, The Avalanches and Massive Attack especially in the introduction. The lyrics are a snapshot of what happened that night and how it made me realise that life is precious and to be enjoyed."
We say:
"While musing on the fragility of life, Heroes In Hiding's 'Hospital' resolutely opposes cliché and is all the more refreshing for it. Lyrically deconstructing an accident and following nights in hospital (complete with field-recorded samples) could easily have become a dirge. Instead, what we have here is a major-key celebration. Yes, it viscerally acknowledges the brittle nature of the human condition, but the take-away message is a life-affirming one."

My favourite definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.
This saying is incredibility relatable to so many, especially when it comes to dieting.
How many weeks in a row have you started a new 'diet' on Monday with the thought 'this week will be the week, I will be good'?
For many of us, this answer is 'too many to count!'
And out of those weeks, how many times did you stop and think wow 'déjà vu' – this was exactly where I was last Monday and could recognise the cycle you were in? Likely not many because we get so caught up in the diet mentality and think dieting is the answer so of course on Monday's I am going to start again!! I don't know any different!
The next question I have is…how successful has the Monday diet attempts been?
Again, likely not very, especially considering 95% of diets fail after all!
If you are looking to change your weight, flip the focus from restriction and pounding the pavement to actually working with your body. When your body is happy, nourished and 'balanced' weight loss will follow. I encourage you to stop focusing on what you can take away from your body and start focusing on what you can give to your body to help it achieve the goals you are seeking to achieve.
Work with your body, not against and in the process, practice self-compassion, celebrate the small achievements and most of all, have fun whilst doing it.

This Red 2008 JK Rubicon is Not Too Hot, and Not Too Cold, but Just Right - Jp Dirt 'N DrivePosted in Features on May 28, 2016
While there were some participants in the 2016 Jp Dirt 'N Drive presented by Jeep that drove thousands of miles to get in on the fun and adventure, only a few came from as far as Dana Jones and Jean Mitchell. The couple piloted their red '08 Jeep JK Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon all the way from Asheville, North Carolina, to Las Vegas to connect with other Jeepers in our two-day off-road adventure that led to Moab—one of the top Jeep destinations in the world.
We were sure glad they did too. Their Jeep JK featured a nicely done build. It was neither gaudy or overbuilt and was capable of handling long stretches of highway to get to any off-road location they chose to visit. The 3.8L V-6 had been left basically stock for long-term durability. To keep the engine running in the sweet spot after adding the 37x12.50R17LT Dick Cepek Fun Country tires wrapped around 17-inch ATX Chamber Pro beadlock wheels, a set of 5.13 Yukon gears were installed in the Rubicon's locker-filled axles. Custom Tom Wood's driveshafts running to both axles add a little more security during on- and off-road travel.
Making room for those todious meats was an AEV 4 1/2-inch Dual Sport Suspension system. The suspension boost included 4.5 AEV progressive-rate springs and Bilstein remote-reservoir shock absorbers. Further beefing for trail durability was accomplished through the installation of a Synergy sector shaft brace for the steering box and a Synergy track bar brace.
Inside the rig, we found a Dirty Dog 4x4 cargo net behind the front seats and a Bartact waterproof rear seat cover. Both of these items really come in handy (especially that waterproof seat cover), as the couple travels with two blue healer Australian cattle dogs (D.O.G. and Rao) everywhere they go. Exterior upgrades include an LoD front (with stubby brushguard) and EVO Manufacturing rear bumper, and an ACE Engineering Gatekeeper on the rear end supports a HiLift jack and two Roto Paks. ACE fender deletes and Crawler Concept vented fender wells provide great looks and high functionality. Additional nighttime lighting comes from a Rugged Ridge LED bar racked atop the hood using APOC Industries brackets, and a pair of Vision-X amber lights mounted on the cowl sides.
As it turned out Dana and Jean were driving one of the participating Jeep JKs that was picked in a random drawing to have its Freedom Panels replaced with the new Bestop Sunrider For Hardtop at no cost by the Bestop crew during the Jp Dirt 'N Drive registration day. The flip-back softop covered the front seating area, and easily allowed the couple to open it up and enjoy fresh air and sunshine during the 2016 Jp Dirt 'N Drive presented by Jeep.
